Lincoln Park Pirates
Lincoln Park Pirates
Composer(s): Steve Goodman
Performer(s): Steve Goodman
The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight
And lovers a'gazin' at stars
The stores are all closin', and Daley is dozin'
And the fat man is counting the cars ...
And there's more cars than places to put 'em, he says
But I've got room for them all
So 'round 'em up boys, 'cause I want some more toys
In the lot by the grocery store ...
To me, way, hey, tow them away
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we
From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy
And we always collect our fee!
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away
We plunder the streets of your town
Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy
And no one can make us shut down
We break into cars when we gotta
With hammer and pickaxe and saw
And they said this garage had no license
But little care I for the law!
Our drivers are friendly and courteous
Their good manners you always will get
'Cause they all are recent graduates
Of the charm school in Joliet
To me, way, hey, tow them away
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we
From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy
And we always collect our fee!
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away
We plunder the streets of your town
Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy
And no one can make us shut down
And when all the cars are collected
And all of their fenders are ruined
Then I'll tow all the boats in Belmont Harbor
To the Lincoln Park Lagoon
And when I've collected the ransom
And sunk all the ones that won't yield
I'll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways
At Midway, O'Hare, and Meigs Field!
To me, way, hey, tow them away
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we
From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy
And we always collect our fee!
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away
Now citizens, gather around
And I think it's enough, let's call his bluff
Let's throw the bum out of town!

Machine Gun
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Originally performed by: Jimi Hendrix
Covered by various other artists
Jimi:
"Happy new year first of all
I hope we'll have a million or two million more of them...
If we can get over this summer, he he he
Right, I'd like to dedicate this one to the draggin' scene
that's goin' on all the soldiers that are fightin'
in Chicago, Milwaukee and New York...
Oh yes, and all the soldiers fightin' in Vietnam
like to do a thing called 'machine gun'"
Machine Gun
Tearing my body all apart
Machine Gun, yeah
Tearing my body all apart
Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though we’re only families apart
Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber
(You know what I mean)
Hey! And your bullets keep knocking me down
Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now
Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground
The same way you shoot me down, baby
You’ll be going just the same
Three times the pain,
and your own self to blame
Hey, Machine Gun
I ain’t afraid of your mess no more, babe
I ain’t afraid no more
After a while, your, your cheap talk don’t even cause me pain,
so let your bullets fly like rain
’Cause I know all the time you’re wrong baby
And you’ll be going just the same
Yeah, Machine Gun
Tearing my family apart
Yeah, yeah, alright
Tearing my family apart
(Don’t you shoot him down)
(He’s ’bout to leave here)
(Don’t you shoot him down)
(He’s got to stay here)
(He ain’t going nowhere)
(He’s been shot down to the ground)
(Oh where he can’t survive, no, no)
Yeah, that’s what we don’t wanna hear anymore, alright?
(No bullets)
At least here, huh huh
(No guns, no bombs)
Huh huh
(No nothin’, just let’s all live and live)
(You know, instead of killin’)
May this be
Love or just
Confusion Born out of frustration wracked feelings
of not being able to make true physical love to the
Universal gypsy Queen
True, free expressed music
Darling guitar please rest
Amen

L'incendie À Rio
L'incendie À Rio
Composer(s): Maurice Tézé - Gérard Gustin
Performer(s): Sacha Distel
En pleine nuit une sirène
Appelle au feu tous les pompiers
Et tout Rio qui se réveille
Voit brûler l'usin' de café
Il n'y a pas de temps à perdre
Sinon tout l'quartier va brûler
Oui mais voilà
Pendant c'temps là à la caserne
On entends les pompiers crier
Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux?
Des lances et d'la grande échelle
Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux?
Pas d'panique il nous les faut
Mais l'incendie là-bas fait rage
Et le ciel est noir de fumée
Et tous les gens dans les étages
Se dis'nt: "Mais que font les pompiers?"
Il n'y a pas de temps à perdre
Sinon tout l'quartier va brûler
Oui mais voilà
Pendant c'temps là à la caserne
On entends les pompiers crier
Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux?
Des lances et d'la grande échelle
Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux?
Pas d'panique il nous les faut
Au p'tit matin on le devine
Tout le quartier avait brûlé
Il ne restait que des ruines
Sur des centain's de mètr's carrés!
Quand tout à coup dans le jour blême
On vit accourir un pompier
Qui s'écria : "Je viens d'la part du capitaine
Vous dir' de n'pas vous énerver"
On a r'trouvé les tuyaux
Les lances et la grande échelle
Mais on est en panne d'auto
Et on cherch' la manivelle
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

MacArthur Park
MacArthur Park
Composer(s): J.L. Webb
Performer(s): Richard Harris
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

L'importante È Finire
L'importante È Finire
((Spanish Version: Qué Imposible (by Mónica Naranjo) - 2000))
Composer(s): Cristiano Malgioglio - Alberto Anelli
First release by: Mina - 1975
Adesso arriva lui apre piano la porta
poi si butta sul letto e poi e poi
ad un tratto io sento afferrarmi le mani
le mie gambe tremare e poi e poi e poi e poi
spegne adagio la luce, la sua bocca sul collo
ha il respiro un po' stanco ho deciso lo mollo
ma non so se poi farlo o lasciarlo soffrire
l'importante finire
adesso volta la faccia questa è l'ultima volta
che lo lascio morire e poi e poi
ha talento da grande lui nel fare l'amore
sa pigliare il mio cuore e poi e poi e poi e poi
ha il volto sconvolto io gli dico ti amo
ricomincia da capo è violento il respiro
io non so se restare o rifarlo morire
l'importante è finire

Secretos Entre Tú y yo Dejas la puerta
abierta, te sorprendo en mi cama Ya voy, ya voy
Se me escapa tu muslo como un pez en la mano Si
te muerdo en el labio, me voy, me voy, me voy
Me voy
Son tus pechos nodrizas que amamantan mis
sueños Tus pezones espías que
recorren mi cuerpo Yo no sé si dejarme Y
empezar a ser libre Qué importante
Qué imposible
[Aah...]
Gacela (gacela) Despierta ya Con un ansia de
bosque una sombra se acerca Ya voy, ya voy
Entre besos furtivos yo me adentro en tu noche Y
en la raya del alba, me voy,
me voy, me voy Me voy
El ombligo de arena, el sendero de fuego Me
conducen jugando hasta el monte de
"Venus" Yo no sé si quererte Y
empezar a ser libre Qué importante
Qué imposible
[Aah...]
Son tus pechos nodrizas que amamantan mis
sueños Tus pezones espías que
recorren mi cuerpo Yo no sé si dejarme Y

Macaco
Composer(s): Paolo Conte
Performer(s): Paolo Conte
Lussureggiava il mare
e il mondo delle donne
nell'aria calda vampeggiava
dove lui passeggiava
anche lei arrivava
e il resto è tutto da chimpanzè....
Lui faceva niente
era un tipo andante
ma lei chissà però
cosa pensava
in un istante opaco
lei gli fa "Macaco"
e il resto è tutto da chimpanzè....
Lussureggiava il mare
e il mondo delle donne
nell'aria insonne vampeggiava
indifferentemente, ineluttabilmente
e il resto è tutto da chimpanzè....

Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud
First release by: Gilbert Bécaud - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Toi qui marches dans le vent
Seul dans la trop grande ville
Avec le cafard tranquille du passant
Toi qu'elle a laissé tomber
Pour courir vers d'autres lunes
Pour courir d'autres fortunes
L'important...
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
Crois-moi
Toi qui cherches quelque argent
Pour te boucler la semaine
Dans la ville tu promènes ton ballant
Cascadeur, soleil couchant
Tu passes devant les banques
Si tu n'es que saltimbanque
L'important...
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
Crois-moi
Toi, petit, que tes parents
Ont laissé seul sur la terre
Petit oiseau sans lumière, sans printemps
Dans ta veste de drap blanc
Il fait froid comme en Bohème
T'as le cœur comme en carême
Et pourtant...
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
Crois-moi
Toi pour qui, donnant-donnant
J'ai chanté ces quelques lignes
Comme pour te faire un signe en passant
Dis à ton tour maintenant
Que la vie n'a d'importance
Que par une fleur qui danse
Sur le temps...
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
L'important c'est la rose
Crois-moi

Originally performed by: Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
Covered by various other artists
If you hate me after what I say
Can't put it off any longer
I just gotta tell you anyway
Bye Bye Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry
Your the one girl in town I'd marry
Girl I'd marry you now if I were free
I wish it could be
I could love you but why begin it
'Cause there ain't any future in it
She's got me and I'm not free
So Bye Bye Baby Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry
Guess I will never know you better
Wish I knew you before I met her
Gee how good you would be for me
Should have told you that I can't linger
There's a weddin' ring on my finger
She's got me and I'm not free
So Bye Bye Baby Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry

L'impasse
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy - Pierre Papadiamondis
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Quoi que tu me dises
quoi que tu me fasses
et même si par moment
je sais me mettre à ta place
toutes les choses que je comprends
sont celles qui me cassent
et je ne peux rien vraiment
je suis dans l'impasse
c'est bien un enfer
c'est bien une impasse
chaque fois que je te perds
en allant chercher ta trace
dans tes longs, désespérants
silences de glace
et je ne peux rien vraiment
je suis dans l'impasse
comment sortir de là?
c'est une drôle d'angoisse
d'être dans l'impasse
alors j'aime tomber
au fond d'un Chivas
car je me mets à rêver
que c'est toi qui me ramasses
que tu veux bien me parler
et que tu m'embrasses
pour m'aider à supporter
d'être dans l'impasse
comment sortir de là?
c'est une drôle d'angoisse
d'être dans l'impasse

What Did I Ever See In Him?
What Did I Ever See In Him?
Composer(s): Charles Strouse; Lee Adams
Performer(s): Chita Rivera
Rosie:
Eight years, eight years
That's how long I've wasted on him!
That's all, I'm through
Albert dear, to put it sweetly
To hell with you!
What did I ever see in him?
How did I ever get evolved that way?
Now that it's over I can smile and say
What did I ever see in him?
Boy, I was way out on the limb
Now that my feet are on the ground again
Now that my senses have been found again
What did I ever see in him?
Is he tender?
No, he's not!
Is he thoughtful?
No, he's not!
Am I crazy?
What's he's got that I found so damned appealing?
What did he ever do for me?
Well, to be honest he was sometimes nice
But still it wasn't worth that awful price
It was rough from the start
Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart
How did I ever?
Why did I ever?
What did I ever?
Rosie and Kim:
Do we need them? No, we don't!
Do we want them? No, we don't!
Will we leave them? No, we won't!
Tell me what did I say that for?
What did we ever see in them?
How could we ever think that they were nice?
Take it from us we pay an awful price
It was rough from the start
Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart
What did I ever see in him

Performer(s): Dick Van Dyke, Janet Leigh,
Ann-Margret, Bobby Rydell
Albert:
I was never crazy for flowers
I confess that nothing left me colder
I could watch a daisy for hours
And all I'd feel was sev'ral hours older!
Lilacs and lilies, any bloom you please
All what they did was make me shrug or sneeze
But now I love each blossom that I see
For a lovely little rose loves me
Now my life is rosy, when I'm my Rosie
With a girl like Rosie
How could I be blue?
Hand in hand we'll mosey
Me and little Rosie
We will be so cozy
By a fire built for two
Oh! I once heard a poem that goes
"A rose is a rose is a rose"
Well I don't agree
Take it from me
There's one rose sweeter than any that grows!
That's my Rosie,
I'm so glad she chose me
Life is one sweet beautiful song to me
Now my life is rosy (Oh, we'll be happy, I know)
Since I found my Rosie (Off to the preacher we'll go)
With a girl like Rosie (So how could we be blue?)
How could I be blue?
Rosie:
Oh we'll have us a home out west
A nice little split-level nest
And in ev'ry room roses in bloom...
Albert:
But there's on rose sweeter than all of the rest!
Then that's my Rosie
Rosie:
I'm so glad you chose me!
Both:
Life is one sweet beautiful song to me
When love is right then
What can be wrong?
Life is one sweet beautiful song
To me!

Io son sicuro che, per ogni goccia
per ogni goccia che cadrà
un nuovo fiore nascerà
e su quel fiore una farfalla volerà
Io son sicuro che
in questa grande immensità
qualcuno pensa un poco a me
e non mi scorderà
Sì, io lo so
tutta la vita sempre solo non sarò
e un giorno io saprò
d'essere un piccolo pensiero
nella più grande immensità.....
di quel cielo
Sì, io lo s,
tutta la vita sempre solo non sarò
un giorno troverò
un po' d'amore anche per me
per me che sono nullità
nell'immensità ...

Lime Tree Arbour
Lime Tree Arbour
Composer(s): Nick Cave
Performer(s): Nick Cave; Adam Sherman
The boatman calls from the lake
A lone loon dives upon the water
I put my hand over her
Down in the lime tree arbour
The wind in the trees is whispering
Whispering low that I love her
She puts her hand over mine
Down in the lime tree arbour
Through every breath that I breathe
And every place I go
There is hand that protects me
And I do love her so
There will always be suffering
It flows through life like water
I put my hand over hers
Down in the lime tree arbour
The boatman he has gone
And the loons have flown for cover
She puts her hand over mine
Down in the lime tree arbour
Through every word that I speak
And every thing I know
There is hand that protects me
And I do love her so
