Ancora Con Te


Ancora Con Te
Composer(s): Sergio Bardotti
Performer(s): Peppino Di Capri



Tu che sei tra le tante esperienze
Quella che ho ancora in mente
Quella che più mi preme
Tu che sei tra gli amori che ho avuto
Il più complicato il più semplice insieme

Tu che sei il mio sbaglio più giusto
E la più strana storia che ha scritto di me
E per questo per altro che anche
Così tornerei ancora con te

Tu che sei la bugia più sincera
La batuta più seria che io ho detto mai
Tu che sei il brivido più antico
Dell'amore più amico che ho avuto mai
Dei ricordi che mi fan compagnia
Tu sei la nostalgia che sempre vorrei
E così anche solo così sono ancora con te

Ho scordato che volevo scordare
Ho pensato che era sciocco pensare
Ho capito che non posso capire
Ma solo accetare che non ti avrò più

Tu che sei il mio grande rimedio
E la sola perfidia che accetterò
Tu che sei la mia pace l'affanno
Il più stupido ingano che mai soffrirò
Dei ricordi che mi fan compagnia
Tu sei la nostalgia che sempre vorrei
E così anche solo così sono acora con te

Ancient Of The Old


Ancient Of The Old
Composer(s): Dash Crofts - Jim Seals
Performer(s): Seals & Croft



On a crisp as bacon morning
With the sunshine on my head
From the twilight of the dawning
Raised myself up from my bed
Fixed mine eyes upon a favour
Like no mortal eye behold
Then I chose to taste the flavour
Of the Ancient of the Old

On a chill as winter evening
In a doubtful circumstance
He stopped the evil breathing
Of a one time's serpent's chance
Old black sea with silver lining
how I long with all my soul
To quaff the mystic fragrance
Of the Ancient of the Old

From a red as amber burning
With the Chalice in my hand
I know there is no turning
I must now obey Command
At last Decree has destined
Now the mystery untold
Will shine in all it's glory
From the Ancient of the Old

Dancing On The Ceiling (Lionel Richie)


Dancing On The Ceiling
Composer(s): Mike Frenchik; Lionel Richie; Carlos Rios
Performer(s): Lionel Richie
and various other artists



What is happening here?
Something is going on
That's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the light
We're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight

Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on he ceiling
The room is hot...that's good
some of my friends came
By from the neighbourhood
People were starting
To climb the walls
Ooh, it looks like everbody
Is having a ball

Everybody starts to lose control
When the music is right
If you see somebody hanging around
Don't ge upright
The only thing we wanna do tonight
Is go round and round
and turn upside down
Come on, let's get down

So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back
Because it ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
Because when we like to ball it
We only want to get down
what? You say what?
It's love now...
Just get started
Everybody clap your hands, come on
Everybody have sense...

Ancient History


Ancient History
Composer(s): Wayne Walker - Irene Stanton
Performer(s): Billy Walker
and multiple other artists



Just walk on out the door it's all over
Forgiving you is just a waste of time
I don't believe that I'll live to regret it
'Cause you're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine

So many times I've heard the same old story
Any fool can learn to read between the lines
And this time honey you've burned all your bridges
You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine

I've marked you down as just another lonely page
In the book of heartaches that you'll leave behind
'Cause I've found out I'm better off without you
You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine

I've marked you down...

Café Der Blije Harten


Café Der Blije Harten
Performer(s): Johan Verminnen



Met glazen boterhammen
En kriek zo zoet als wijn
Thuis wachten de madammen
Met soep die koud zal zijn
Met wilde commentaren
Over sport en politiek
Echt niet te evenaren
Zo verward maar sympathiek
Met woorden als gedichten
Op bierkaartjes in 't klein
Als SOS berichten
Gedrenkt in een moor azijn

In het café der blije harten
Aan dit gezellig plein
Waar de mannen die biljarten
Al jaren vrienden zijn

Met foto's aan de muren
En bekers in een kast
Met spreekwoorden die duren
Het krediet werd afgelast
Met een voetbalkalender
Wie waagt een pronostiek
En elk jaar in december
Wordt de spaarkas hier gelicht
Met berichten van de duiven
Van Quivrin tot in Noyonne
Met kaartingen en fuiven
En vluchten halve bol

In het café der blije harten
Aan dit gezellig plein
Waar de mannen die biljarten
Al jaren vrienden zijn

Met steeds dezelfde gasten
Ze kennen er je naam
En als de rekening niet paste
Mag je op de spiegel staan
Met geen verschil in standen
Iedereen is hier thuis
En maandag voor de klanten
Een rondje van het huis

In het café der blije harten
Aan dit gezellig plein
Waar de mannen die biljarten
Al jaren vrienden zijn

In het café der blije harten
Aan dit gezellig plein
Waar de mannen die biljarten
Al jaren vrienden zijn
Hey

Anche Un Uomo


Anche Un Uomo
Composer(s): Anselmo Genovese - Mike Bongiorno - Dina Tosi - Ludovico Peregrini
First performance/First release by: Mina - 1979



Ragazza mia ti spiego gli uomini
ti servirà quando li adopererai
son tanto fragili, fragili tu
maneggiali con cura
fatti di briciole, briciole che
l'orgoglio tiene su
ragazza mia sei bella e giovane
ma pagherai ogni cosa che otterrai
devi essere forte ma forte perché
dipenderà da te
tu sei l'amore il calore che avrà
la vita che vivrai
anche un uomo può sempre avere un'anima
ma non credere che l'userà per capire te
anche un uomo può essere dolcissimo
specialmente se al mondo oramai
gli resti solo tu
Ragazza mia adesso sai com'è
quell'uomo che mi porti via e vuoi per te

Dancing On The Ceiling (Frank Sinatra)


Dancing On The Ceiling
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and various other artists



The world is lyrical
Because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though he's some other place, his face I see

At night I creep in bed
And never sleep in bed
But look above in the air
And to my greatest joy, my love is there

He dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
Through the night

I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
But there's my love
Up above

I whisper, "Go away, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there

I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love

Listen Betty (I'm Singing Your Song)


Listen Betty (I'm Singing Your Song)
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



A friend and I made one shot run to Knoxville one day
We got the apple pie and coffee hungries on the way
We pulled into a little truckstop just outside of town
Pretty soon the waitress came around
She said my name is Betty and I'd know you anywhere
I'd like to have a minute of your time if you don't care
Would you sing a song about me and the waitresses you've met
About the broken promises we get
Now listen Betty I'm singing your song about the drivers that have done you wrong
All I wanna do is lay the blame where it belongs listen Betty I'm singing your song

There's a broken heart for every truckstop on the right
There's a lonesome driver for each passing set of lights
Now I can't tell you how to love or tell you how to live all I can do is tell it like it is
There's a million waitresses all up and down the line
I've seen some that were laughin' and I've seen some that were cryin'
I've left some that were happy and I've left some that were blue
If you're a waitress here's a song for you
Now listen Betty...

The highway is a part of hell that never caught on fire
The driver is the kinda man that devil wouldn't hire
That's what you're sayin' Betty but you can't stand the heat
Quit that job and let those drivers be
Now listen Betty...
Now listen Betty...

Tulsa Telephone Book


Tulsa Telephone Book
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Tom T. Hall; Dave Dudley



Have you read any good telephone books lately
If you ain't then let me recommend one
I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times
If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun

Well I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything goin'
And she was in Tulsa and didn't have anything on
She said my name is Shirley and I said my name is Dave
I woke up the next mornin' and she was gone

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book will drive a man insane
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
I gotta find her and tell her I don't want our love to end
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now
They must know how long I've been alone
If you see a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair
Tell her that she's wanted on the phone

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book can drive a man insane
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
Well, I gotta find her and tell her I don't want our love to end
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
I keep on readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

Lets form a big strong line, and get in time
We're dancin' in the street
Across the ocean blue, me and you
We're dancin' in the street

Anche Per Te


Anche Per Te
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Per te che è ancora notte già prepari il tuo caffè
che ti vesti senza più guardar lo specchio dietro te
che poi entri in chiesa e preghi piano
e intanto pensi al mondo ormai per te così lontano

Per te che di mattina torni a casa tua perché
per strada più nessuno ha freddo e cerca più di te
per te che metti i soldi accanto a lui che dorme
e aggiungi ancora un po' d'amore a chi non sa che farne

Anche per te, vorrei morire ed io morir non so
anche per te, darei qualcosa che non ho
e così, e così, e così io resto qui
a darle i miei pensieri, a darle quel che ieri
avrei affidato al vento, cercando di raggiungere chi...
al vento avrebbe detto sì

Per te che di mattina svegli il tuo bambino e poi
lo vesti lo accompagni a scuola e al tuo lavoro vai
per te che un errore ti è costato tanto
che tremi nel guardare un uomo e vivi di rimpianto

Anche per te...

Dancing In The Starlight


Dancing In The Starlight
Composer(s): Matt Clifford; Mick Jagger
Performer(s): Mick Jagger



I was tossing and a turning
Like as ship out in the storm
And I could not feel the spirit
There was nothing there at all
And I could not dial the number
And I could not make the call

Dancing in the starlight
Dancing in the strangest forms
And I could not feel the spirit
Was a thousand miles off course

Stumbling in the twilight
There was no one there at all
I was groping in the darkness
Seeing dangers in the port
Tortured into silence
My back against the wall

Dancing in the starlight
Swirling in the walls
Just like Venus on the ocean
The figures on the wall

If you don't take risks
If you don't take a chance
You're bound to fall
Oh yeah sugar
You will surely fall

Crying for salvation
There was nothing there at all
I could not dial the number
And I could not make the call

Dancing in the starlight
The figures on the wall
You will surely fall
Dancing in the starlight
You will surely fall
You will surely fall

Anastasia


Anastasia
Composer(s): Herb Newman - Paul F. Webster
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Anastasia, tell me who you are
Are you someone from another star
Anastasia, are you what you seem
Do your sad eyes remember a dream

Why do you tremble and why do you sigh
Could you be lonely as lonely as I
Will you remember when summer has flown
Another world, a world that is yours alone

Anastasia, smile away the past
Anastasia, spring is here at last
Beautiful stranger step down from your star
I only know I love you so, whoever you are

Anastasia, Anastasia
Beautiful stranger step down from your star
I only know I love you so, whoever you are

Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)


Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy;
Even Johansen; The Smashing Pumpkins



When I passed you in the doorway
You took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance

Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
My father he's going crazy
Say's I'm living in a trance

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night

It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten

Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

Analyse Time


Analyse Time
Composer(s): Rossi - Brown
Performer(s): Status Quo



I still remember when I would be the only one
I used to think that I'd be a darlin' boy
Never worried 'bout bad times, only wanted those good times

And then it took a nasty turn and you became the strangest one
And now I look back, I didn't help at all
Falling over my own feet, always taking that back seat, oh no

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again

We had our bad days but never thought that we would fall
Into the same trap that other people do
We were gonna be perfect, we were gonna be magic

Before we knew it there were cracks appearing in the photograph
It was a time bomb, a-ticking all the while
We were gonna be lovers, now we're running for cover, oh no

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again?

Calm down and get your feet on the ground
Come round, we're on the same side of town
Fall down, d'you want to call it an end
Hold on, it's analyse time again

We gotta put it on the straight and narrow 'fore we fall apart
We gotta get down and do it on our own
Never worried 'bout bad times, always looking at good times, good times

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again?
Calm down and get your feet on the ground
Come round, we're on the same side of town
Fall down, d'you want to call it an end
Hold on, it's analyse time again

Yeah, analyse time again
It's analyse time again
It's analyse time again
It's analyse time again

Dancing In The Moonlight


Dancing In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Sherman Kelly
Performer(s): King Harvest



We get it on most every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose they keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing In The Dark


Dancing In The Dark
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and various other artists



Dancing in the dark
Till the tune end
We’re dancing in the dark
And it soon ends
We’re waltzing in the wonder
Of why we’re here
Time hurries by
We’re here and gone
Looking for the light
Of a new love
To brighten up the night
I have you to love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What though love is old?
What though song is old?
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Make yours part of mine
Dear one, tell me that we’re one!
Dancing in the dark!
