Wake Up Everybody
Wake Up Everybody
Composer(s): Victor Carstarphen; Gene McFadden
John Whitehead
Performer(s): Harold Melvin
Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so
there is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
when you teach the children teach 'em the very best you can
Chorus
The world won't get no better if we just let it be
The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away
Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out they do it every time
Repeat Chorus

A Song For Europe
A Song For Europe
Composer(s): Andy Mackay - Bryan Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1973
Covered by: Michaela Melián - 2004
Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It´s only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now - only sorrow
No tomorrow
There´s no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday
These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge - it sighs ...
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
There´s no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays
Ecce momenta
Illa mirabilia
Quae captabit
In aeternum
Memor
Modo dolores
Sunt in dies
Non est reliquum
Vero tantum
Comminicamus
Perdita
Tous ces moments
Perdus dans l`enchantement
Qui ne reviendront
Jamais
Pas d´aujourd´hui pour nous
Pour nous il n´y a rien
À partager
Sauf le passé

Wake Up Dolores
Wake Up Dolores
Composer(s): David Hidalgo; Louie Pérez
Performer(s): Los Lobos; Latin Playboys
My legs are tired
My face feels hot
Wake up Dolores
Please try to walk
Oh sacred night
Our lght is dim
We have so far to go
The stones are hard
On this endless road
Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night
As an eagle soars
Our spirits fly
To our gentle rest
Under loving sky
Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night
Ocuiltin
Moyacatla
Otlica
Auh in caltech

A Song
A Song
Performer(s): Vangelis
I would like to write a song
That is so vibrant and so intimate
That the earth would adopt it
As if it had sprung like the stream
From the land's memory
As if no one had written it but life itself
And my song would travel along
From bird to wing, to tree
To breeze to heart to breath to song
Because a song belongs to everyone
Like the spring

Wake Up And Make Love With Me
Wake Up And Make Love With Me
Composer(s): Ian Dury; Chas Jankel
Performer(s): Ian Dury; Los Fabulosos Cadillacs;
Sinéad O'Connor; Renauld
I come awake
With a gift for womankind
You're still asleep
But the gift don't seem to mind
Rise on this occasion
Halfway up your back
Sliding down your body
Touching your behind
You look so self-possessed
I won't disturb your rest
It's lovely when you're sleeping
But wide awake is best
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
You come awake
In a horny morning mood
And have a proper wriggle
In the naughty naked nude
Roll against my body
Get me where you want me
What happens next is private
It's also very rude
I'll go and get the post
And make some tea and toast
You have a lover's sleep, love
It's me that needs it most
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

À Mon Cou, À Ses Genoux
À Mon Cou, À Ses Genoux
Composer(s): Julien Clerc - Jean-Loup Dabadie - Craig Karp
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
J'aim' pas ses manières
Ni son caractère
J'aim' pas ses colères
J'aim' pas ce qu'ell' danse
J'aim' pas ce qu'ell' pense
J'aim' pas sa violence
Je suis fou qu'est-ce que j'fous´
À son cou à ses g'noux-ou-oux
J'suis jaloux comme un loup
Je n'suis plus rien du tou-ou-out
J'bois pas ce qu'elle boit
J'crois pas ce qu'elle croit
J'vois pas ce qu'ell'voit
J'aim' pas qu'ell' me siffle
J'aim' pas quand ell' griffe
J'aim' pas qu'ell' me sniffe
Je suis fou qu'est-c'que j'fous
À son cou à ses g'noux-ou-oux
J'suis jaloux comm'un loup
Je n'suis plus rien du tout
Je m'endors sur son cœur
Je m'réveill' sur son corps
Comme sur un trésor
Comm'si c'était de l'o-o-or
O-o-o-or
O-o-or
J'aim' pas ses copains
J'aim' pas ses bouquins
J'ai mordu son chien
J'aim' pas ses discours
Ni ses calembours
C'est pas mon humour
J'aim' pas ses chansons
J'aim' pas ses façons
Ses jeux de garçon
J'aim' pas ses coutumes
J'aim' pas ses costumes
J'aim' pas comme ell' fume
J'aim' pas ses trois sœurs
J'aim' pas son coiffeur
Ni ses jeans à fleurs
J'aim' pas ce qu'ell' danse...
J'bois pas ce qu'ell' boit...
J'aim' pas qu'ell' me siffle...

Wake the town and tell the people
Sing it to the moon above

Let's declare a holiday
Send the wedding invitation
To the neighbors right away
When you are close to me
And my heart is dancing with delight
I want the world to see
Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you

Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you

Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you

A Solid Bond In Your Heart
A Solid Bond In Your Heart
Composer(s): Paul Weller
Performer(s): The Jam; The Style Council
Feel is a word I can't explain
At least not in words that are plain
Make it easy to express
But I'll try to do my best
To hit you where it counts
I just want to build up
A solid bond in your heart
(Yeah) A solid bond in your heart (Aha)
I'm fuelled by the idea
That this world was made to share
But it never seems to work out
And all we seem to share
Is doubt and misery
Please let me try to build
A solid bond in your heart heart
Aah, I just want to build up
A solid bond in your heart heart
It's what's missing from this life
And the trust you need to ignite
Any dream worth holding dear
When that dream is so near
You gotta try and try to get it back
Push it to the limit and build
A solid bond in your heart

Had a dream

Softer Ride
Composer(s): Alan Lancaster - Rick Parfitt
Performer(s): Status Quo
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed til I'm satisfied, and let my head take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work, I aint gonna work no more
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
I'll find me a shack where it's cool inside
And turn my back on the cold outside
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
If I could go back to the job I had
Same old thing gonna drive me mad
So I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Never again will I have to be
Down
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed til I'm satisfied, and let my head take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work, I aint gonna work no more

Wake Me When It's Over
Wake Me When It's Over
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Andy Williams
If I am dreaming you've got your arms around me
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over, not before
And if I'm dreaming that love at last has found me
Let me go on dreaming
Wake me when it's over and then let me go to sleep, mm, again
It's hard to believe, my dear, that you're here at all
Incredible, I pinch myself, you don't disappear at all
So if I'm hearing you tell some small-town justice you will not
forsake me
Takin' vows to make me yours ever more
Then darling, wake me when it's over, and not before
Ooh, wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over and then back to sleep again
It's hard to believe, my dear, that you're here at all
Incredible, you don't disappear at all
So, tell that small-town justice you'll take me
Tell him you'll make me yours ever more
Then darling, wake me when it's over, not befo-o-o-o-ore!

A Soft Seduction
A Soft Seduction
Composer(s): David Byrne
Performer(s): David Byrne; DM Stith
The words of love are not enough
Though sweet as wine, as thick as blood
Passionless moments and we are homeless
Out on the street
But life is cool and things aren’t bad
Got what he wants, lost what he had
He’s soon adjusted and got accustomed to these new ways
Blame god, how can you loose
Singing such sweet rhythm and blues
Strange days, she said to me
Being in love don’t mean you’re free
But night reveals what daytime hides
Who lingers on, who sleeps outside
The soft seduction, the strong attraction
Somewhere downtown
A junkie’s song, a dancer’s knees
The laws of chance strange as it seems
Take us exactly where we most likely need to be
A junkie’s song, a dancer’s knees
The laws of chance strange as it seems
Take us exactly where we most likely need to be

Wake Me When I'm Free
Wake Me When I'm Free
Composer(s): Two Pac
Performer(s): Babatunde Olatunji
Please.. wake me when I am free
I cannot bear captivity
Where my country, I am told, "Hold no significance"
I withered and died in ignorance
but my inner eye can see, a race
who reigned as kings in another place
The green trees were rich and full
and every man spoke of beautiful men and women together as people
War was gone because all was at peace
but now like a nightmare, I woke to see
that I live like a prisoner of poverty..
Please.. wake me when I am free
I cannot bear captivity
For, I would rather be stricken blind
than to live without expression of mind
{*Babatunde Olatunji begins to speak in another language*}

A Soapbox Opera
A Soapbox Opera
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp
"I want to tell you something
Listen to me
I'm trying to say, I'm better than you
I am only what I am"
"We must not stand still
For the night is coming
Every man, every woman and child
Everybody help me"
I hear, only what I want to hear
But, I have to believe in something
Have to believe in just one thing
I said Father Washington, you're all mixed up
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool
There's something missing when I need your rule
Well, hey there
You tell me you're a holy man
But, although I am just a beginner
I don't see you as a winner
I said, Sister Washington, you're all washed up
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
If I could tell you what you need to know
If I could tell you to get on with the show
I'd rather never leave her
There's a storm in my head
Makes me hear what you say
Just was it true?
So, what have I to do?
Well, what has he to do?
Oh, what is there to-oo do
What oh-oh-ohoh
"All creatures great and small
all things wise and wonderful, the lord god made them all"
Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for
'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river
Oh' have you a son to deliver
I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
you tell the children what you need to know
But, will they listen when it's time to go
Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
Can someone tell me what I need to know
Can someone help me to get on with the show

A Smile Like Yours
Composer(s): Diane Warren
Performer(s): Natalie Cole; Skyler Jett
Ooh-ooh
Thought I'd seen everything
There was to see in this world
Now I'm not so sure
I've really seen anything at all
I thought life, could show me no surprises
And then you came, and showed me I was wrong
I have seen the bluest skies
Rainbows that would make you cry
I have seen miracles that moved my soul
Days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars
Shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world
But I've never seen a smile
As beautiful as yours, ooh-ooh, yeah
Oh I thought I'd been everywhere
I'd climbed a mountain so high
Sailed the sea, crossed the sky
And still I was nowhere at all
Until that day, oh, you came to my senses
And your smile it made sense out of it all
I have seen the bluest skies
Rainbows that would make you cry
I have seen miracles that moved my soul
Days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars
Shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world
But I've never seen a smile
As beautiful as yours, ooh-ooh, yeah
A smile so beautiful, so beautiful
Come one time in a lifetime
A smile this beautiful
I never dreamed I'd ever see, ah, ah, ah
I have seen the bluest skies
Rainbows that would make you cry
I have seen miracles that moved my soul
Days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars
Shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world
But I've never seen a smile
As beautiful as yours, ooh-ooh, yeah
A smile before as beautiful
As beautiful as yours

Waiting For Your Love
Composer(s): Bobby Kimball; David Paich
Performer(s): Toto

A Smile And A Ribbon
A Smile And A Ribbon
Composer(s): Mark McIntyre
Performer(s): Patience and Prudence; Percy Faith
A smile is something special
A ribbon is something rare
So I'll be special and I'll be rare
With a smile and a ribbon in my hair
To be a girl they notice
Takes more than a fancy dress
So I'll be noticed because I'll dress
With a smile and a ribbon in my dresses
The bigger my toothy grin is
The smaller my troubles grow
The louder I say I'm happy
The more I believe it's so
So I'll have that extra something
Because I know what to wear
So I'll be special and I'll be rare
I'll be something beyond compare
I'll be noticed because I'll wear
A smile and a ribbon in my hair
