Incense And Peppermints
Incense And Peppermints
Composer(s): Tim Gilbert; John Carter
Performer(s): Strawberry Alarm Clock
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win but nothin' to lose
Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah!
To divide this cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view
Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win but nothin' to lose
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win but nothin' to lose
Incense and peppermints
Incense and peppermints

Neighbor, Neighbor
Neighbor, Neighbor
Composer(s): Billy Gibbons
Performer(s): ZZ Top; Jimmy Hughes
Neighbor, neighbor, why you messin' in my life?
Neighbor, neighbor, you've been talkin' to my wife
tellin' her you seen me
runnin' wild the other night,runnin' wild the other night
A neighbor, neighbor, there's always one in every crowd
A neighbor, neighbor, tellin' lies and talkin' loud
You better watch your step now
You might fall off your cloud
You might fall off your cloud
Now I was walking down a dusty road
when along came a neighbor of mine
He saw me walkin' with my head hung down
he just had to stop and pass the time
Neighbor, neighbor, floatin' in the salty brine
floatin' in the salty brine

Negusa Nagast
Negusa Nagast
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
L'homme a créé des Dieux l'inverse tu rigoles
Croire c'est aussi fumeux que la ganja
Tire sur ton joint pauvre rasta
Et inhale tes paraboles
Là-bas en Ethiopie est une sombre idole
Haïlé Sélassié négus roi des rois
Descendant de Moïse à ce qu'en croient
Certains quant à moi je les crois sur parole
Des esclaves le protègent sous de noirs parasols
Du ciel blanc d'Addis-Abeba
À ses pieds un lionceau emblème de Juda
Symbole
Dans son lointain palais le négus s'isole
Prisonnier après un nouveau coup d'État
Peut-être passé par les armes va savoir qui ou quoi
Demande donc à la C.I.A. ou Interpol

In Your Room
In Your Room
((French & Italian Versions: Dans Ta Chambre (Charles Aznavour); Dove C'è (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Kaye
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
In your room there are airs from the words that you speak
And the breath of a rose for the blush of your cheek
We're adrift, we're afloat, on snowy clouds of satin
That carry us to heaven, safe in each other's arms
In your room there is, there is, there is, there is
In your room there is, there is infinity
In your room there is love, born in you, torn from me
We are one silhouette and my senses reveal
Fingers drawn from the touch of a softness I feel
And my head's in a spin from love's intoxication
For this is our creation, the miracle of love
In your room there is, there is, there is, there is
In your room there is, there is infinity
In your room there is love, born in you, torn from me
There is infinity
In your room, there is love
Born in you, torn from me

Negra Maria
Composer(s): Lucio Demare; Homero Manzi
Performer(s): Raphael;
and various other artists
Hay bruna, bruna
Nacio maria y esta en la cuna
Nacio de dia sin ver la luna
Guardara la madre su vestido blanco
Y se ira a la fiesta con un traje largo
Y sera la reina cuando maria cumpla quince años
Le llamaremos negra maria
Negra maria que abriste los ojos en carnaval
Ojos grandes tendra maria
Dientes de nacar, color moreno
¡Ay! que rojos seran sus labios
¡Ay! que cadencia tendra su cuerpo
Amara el baile, negra maria
Negra la madre, negra la niña
Cantaran para ti
Unas guitarras y los violines
Y los resongos del bandoleon
La llamaremos negra maria
Negra maria que abriste los ojos en carnaval
Hay bruna, bruna
Murio maria y esta en la cuna
Murio de dia sin ver la luna
Ya no guardara la madre su vestido blanco
Ni se ira de fiesta con un traje largo
Ni sera la reina cuando cumpla quince años
Le lloraremos, negra maria
Negra maria cerrastes los ojos en carnaval
¡Ay! que triste fue tu destino
Angel de mota, color moreno
¡Ay! que triste sera tu destino
¡Ay! que silencio tendra tu cuerpo
Llora la madre, duerme la niña
Negra, sangraran para ti
Las guitarras y los violines
Y los resongos del bandoleon
Le lloraremos negra maria
Negra maria, cerrastes los ojos en carnaval

In Your Eyes (George Benson)
In Your Eyes
Performer(s): George Benson
I think I finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don't you know that love's just like the thread
That keeps unravelling but then
It ties us back together in the end
In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
You warned me that life changes
That no one really knows
Whether time would make us strangers
Or whether time would make us grow
Even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all our love will still remain
In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more

Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Où est ma petite amie?
Elle est dans mon Rolleiflex
Je le regarde perplexe
Dois-je le foutre aux orties
Où est ma petite amie?
Elle est dans mon Rolleiflex
C'était mon premier reflex
J'aime la photographie
Je revois la petite chérie
Posant pour mon Rolleiflex
Un petit machin en lastex
Lui donnait un peu d'esprit
Où est ma petite amie?
Elle est dans mon Rolleiflex
J'y ai filé des complexes
Elle a filé cette nuit
Où est ma petite amie?
Elle est dans mon Rolleiflex
Faut connaître le contexte
Le pourquoi et le pour qui

Composer(s): Hachidai Nakamura; Rokusuke Ei
Performer(s): Tony Vos - 1963
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen
Waar ik eens zei, tegen jou
"Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil je tot vrouw
Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"
In Yokohama zei je "Ik blijf voor altijd bij je
Breng mij dus vlug dat geluk, als je lentebloesem
'k Wil naast je staan, met kimono aan
Als we in het huwelijksbootje gaan"
Ik wil voor altijd zijn
Waar de liefde begon
In 't land van maneschijn
En de rijzende zon
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen
Als ik weer zeg, heel oprecht
"Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil jou tot vrouw
Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen
Als ik weer zeg, heel oprecht
"Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil jou tot vrouw
Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"

Needles In The Camel's Eye
Composer(s): Brian Eno; Phil Manzanera
Performer(s): Brian Eno
Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh
Goes to show
How winds blow
The weather's fine
And I feel so so-so, so
Birds of prey
With too much to say
Oh what could be my destiny
Another rainy day
Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye

First release by: Jackie De Shannon - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I loved and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That there'd come a day
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I've got to hide
Oh, I thought I was smart
I'll hold her heart
And I didn't think I'd do
But know I see
She's worse to him than me
Let her go ahead, and take his love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to say please
And get down on her knees
Yeah that's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
I know, I know
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong
I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up
And tell myself I'm strong?
Because I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I loved and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That there'd come a day
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I've gotta hide
Oh needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins

Dizzie, he was screaming
Next to Opie who was beaming
Monk a thumping
Suddenly in walks Bud and then they got down to somethin'
Oscar played a mean sax
Mr. Byers threw a mean axe
Monk a thumping
Suddenly in walks Bud
And then the joint started jumping
Every young stud really dug Bud
Soothing his tone, talking that note
Nobody wrote, putting it down
Dizzie he was screaming
Next to Opie who was beaming
Monk a thumping
Suddenly in walks Bud
And then they got down to something

In Vlaanderen Wacht Mijn Meisje
In Vlaanderen Wacht Mijn Meisje
Performer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen
In Vlaanderen wacht je, m'n meisje
Op jouw soldaat aan de Rijn
Ik gaf je m'n woord en bewijs je
Dat ook een soldaat trouw kan zijn
Daarom zal ik jou blijven zeggen
Geen Greetje of hoe ze ook heet
Zal 't nimmer aan boord kunnen leggen
Dat ik m'n Vlaams meisje vergeet
Als jongen uit een Vlaamse stad
Sta 'k aan de Rijn op wacht
Vol weemoed denk ik aan die schat
Die mij haar liefde bracht
In dromen zie ik haar gelaat
Dat licht brengt in de nacht
Het is alsof zij met mij praat
En daarom zing ik zacht
In Vlaanderen wacht je, m'n meisje
Op jouw soldaat aan de Rijn
Ik gaf je m'n woord en bewijs je
Dat ook een soldaat trouw kan zijn
Dat vrouwtje uit m'n vaderland
Heb ik oneindig lief
Aan haar heb ik m'n hart verpand
Ik schrijf haar straks een brief
En vindt zij die dan in de bus
Dan is het bij haar feest
Zij voelt in verbeelding m'n kus
Als zij mijn woorden leest
In Vlaanderen wacht je, m'n meisje
Op jouw soldaat aan de Rijn
Ik gaf je m'n woord en bewijs je
Dat ook een soldaat trouw kan zijn
Daarom zal ik jou blijven zeggen
Geen Greetje of hoe ze ook heet
Zal 't nimmer aan boord kunnen leggen
Dat ik m'n Vlaams meisje vergeet
In Vlaanderen wacht je, m'n meisje
Lalala...

Needle Of Death
Needle Of Death
Composer(s): Bert Jansch
Performer(s): Bert Jansch;
and various other artists
When sadness fills your heart
And sorrow hides the longing to be free
When things go wrong each day
You fix your mind to 'scape your misery
Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
How strange, your happy words
Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone
How tears have filled the eyes
Of friends that you once had walked among
Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
One grain of pure white snow
Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain
In peace your mind withdraws
Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain
Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
Your mother stands a'cryin'
While to the earth your body's slowly cast
Your father stands in silence
Caressing every young dream of the past
Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
Through ages, man's desires
To free his mind, to release his very soul
Has proved to all who live
That death itself is freedom for evermore
And your troubled young life
Will make you turn
To a needle of death

In Vista Della Sera
In Vista Della Sera
Composer(s): Camillo Castellari; Corrado Castellari
Performer(s): Mina
La nostra vita, sentimentale è
è naturale definita
né troppo vuota né troppo piena
qualche traguardo irraggiungibile
non è un problema
sei stato l'uomo che ho amato
sempre da principiante
poi come amante
sei stato quello che ho difeso
più volentieri
quando tradivi l'uomo che eri
e si apre il mio giorno in vista della sera
il momento in cui tu mi manchi di più
e la città è già un prodigio
ma quale buio, quale grigio
luci accese come su di noi
e si accende il mio giorno in vista della sera
il momento in cui tu mi manchi di più
l'ora in cui vai così distante
so che non è cambiato niente
succede che mi perdo senza te
sei stato l'uomo che ho amato sempre
senza far drammi, teneramente
sei stato quello per cui ho fatto di testa mia
lucidamente con fantasia
e si chiude il mio giorno in vista della sera
il pensiero di te so bene cos'è
tra la città che mi è piaciuta
piena di gente disincantata
che torna insieme come me e te
ora ha un senso il mio giorno in questa vita mia
che io vivo per te soltanto per te
e se un'idea m' è balenata
che quasi quasi m'ha infastidita
non c'entra più, qua conti solo tu
ora sto ferma ad ascoltare
tu quello che ho voglia di sentire
non c'entra più, qua conti solo tu

Need-A-Man Blues
Composer(s): Pete Bellotte; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Donna Summer
Another Monday morning
another five day week ahead
such a lonely weekend
sleeping in a half filled bed
Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad
All the evening people
dressing up just to get undressed
and me I'm stuck at home
losing more and gaining less
Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad
Emptiness inside
empty as a glass in my hand
whisky friend of mine
help me make it easy without
Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad
Baby baby baby
goes the singer on my hi-fi
honey honey honey
my reply
Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad
Emptiness inside
empty as a glass in my hand
whisky friend of mine
help me make it easy without
Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad
Another Monday morning
another five day week ahead
such a lonely weekend
sleeping in a half filled bed
Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad
