Looking For A Lady
Looking For A Lady
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Blake C; Lil' Cease
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To change my night to day
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To chase my blues away
Well, I have a few in mind but none in particular
I have had them before but nothing that was for sure
And I'm in no position to barter
And I'm in no condition to play the martyr
And I'm sadder certainly but I'm smarter
And I find myself
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To share my empty bed
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To soothe my aching head
And my feelings have grown rigid like a wooden post
And my love is like a curtain that has been drawn closed
And my life just isn't going the way I thought it was supposed to
And I'm crying and I find myself
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To change my night to day

Soul Kitchen
Soul Kitchen
Composer(s): Jim Morrison - John Densmore - Robby Krieger - Ray Manzarek
First release by: The Doors - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, the clock says it's time to close - now
I guess I'd better go - now;
I'd really like to stay here all - night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
street lights shed their hollow glow
your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
stumbling in the neon groves
Your fingers weave quick mi-na-rets
speaking in secret al-pha-bets
I light another ci-ga-rette
learn to forget
learn to forget
learn to forget
learn to forget
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and
stumbling in the neon groves
Well the clock says it's time to close - now
I know I'll have to go now
I really want to stay here all night
All - night
All night

Sodome Et Gomorrhe
Sodome Et Gomorrhe
Composer(s): Nino Ferrer - A. Lecocq
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer
Depuis quelque temps des bruits courent
Des signes apparaissent
Dans les faubourgs de Gomorrhe
On ressent l'angoisse
Dans les palais de Sodome
Les escaliers glissent
Les murs suintent des limaces
Et l'air sent la pisse
Bientôt Sodome et Gomorrhe
S'écrouleront dans le feu
Dans le fatras dans l'ordure
Fuyons, tant que fuir se peut
On s'enfuit par un dédale
De tunnels gluants
Des milliers de rats détalent
Sous nos pas tremblants
L'un de nous glisse et s'étale
Dans un trou béant
Et tous les autres s'affolent
Vers l'évacuation
Fuyons Sodome et Gomorrhe
Leurs futiles dépravations
Avant que l'horreur s'écroule
Et qu'on reste pris dedans
Voilà Sodome et Gomorrhe
Au moment de l'éruption
Où tout s'écrase et dégueule
On reste deux compagnons
On a marché comme des bêtes
Et mangé des rats
Poursuivis par la tempête
On s'est cachés là
Une concession à perpète
Un tombeau de roi
On s'est cachés, bien tranquilles
Et soudain voilà
L'œil de Sodome et Gomorrhe
Est dans la tombe avec moi
L'œil de Sodome et Gomorrhe
Qui me regarde tout bas

Lookin' Out My Back Door
Lookin' Out My Back Door
Composer(s): John Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival; Euro Grass; The Traveling Band
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo, doo
Wondrous apparition provided by a magician
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo, doo
Bother me tommorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo lookin' out my back door
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
Bother me tommorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo looking out my back door

Looking Back To See
Looking Back To See
Composer(s): Jim Ed Brown - Maxine Brown
First recording/First release by: Jim Edward Brown & Maxine Brown - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
One Sunday afternoon as I was ridin' down the street
I met a cute little girl all dressed up so neat
And the way that she was stacked I wish I'd've had a Cadillac
For who would notice me just drivin' this model T
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
Now listen baby it don't matter to me
Even in your model T you're as cute as you can be
If you'll take me for a ride I will set close by your side
And I will guarantee that we'll have fun on man alive
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
Oh gee oh me perhaps you'd notice me
If I wadn't drivin' this model T
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company

Antes Do Adeus
Antes Do Adeus
Composer(s): Rosa Maria de Bettencourt - Rodrigues Faria - Thilo Krassman
First performance by: Célia Lawson - 1997
Antes do adeus, a aventura
Antes do adeus, a loucura
Antes do adeus, a ternura
Juras ao luar, e a canção do mar, porque...
Antes do adeus (Tuas trovas, teus lamentos)
Improviso (Ouvia-se em toda a rua)
Antes do adeus (Na outra esquina do vento)
No sorriso (Na outra face da lua)
Antes do adeus (Os teus sonhos eram meus)
Paraíso (A minha videira tua)
Lemos os sinais (Antes de dizer adeus)
E até fomos imortais
E à noite um rio, onde o sol se pôs
Meu corpo, um navio na maré da tua voz
Sons ao desafio, a vibrar por nós
E a luz da manhã era mágica
Antes do adeus (Devolveste os meus poetas)
A desfeita (Nos teus olhos vi rancor)
Antes do adeus (Houve palavras secretas)
A suspeita (No avesso do amor)
Antes do adeus (Onde escondeste, maldosa)
Imperfeita (Um livro de Saramago)
A partilha a dois (E um disco do Abrunhosa)
P'ra lembrar depois, mas...
O azul do céu deixou de ser verdade
Em cinzas morreu a magia da cidade
No meu olhar nasceu a sombra da ansiedade
E a dor silenciou toda a música
O azul do céu deixou de ser verdade
Em cinzas morreu a magia da cidade
No meu olhar nasceu a sombra da ansiedade
E a dor silenciou toda a música
Antes do adeus, a saudade

Making Your Mind Up
Making Your Mind Up
Composer(s): John Danter - Andy Hill
First release by: Bucks Fizz - 1981
You gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up
You gotta turn it on
And then you gotta put it out
You gotta be sure that it's something
Everybody's gonna talk about
Before you decide that the time's arrived
For making your mind up
Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind
And now you really gotta burn it up
And make another fly by night
Get a run for your money
And take a chance and it'll turn out right
But when you can see how it's gotta be
You're making your mind up
And try to look as if you don't care less
But if you wanna see some more
Bending the rules of the game
Will let you find the one you're looking for
And then you can show that you think you know
You're making your mind up
Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind
And now you really gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up
And now you really gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up
For making your mind up
For making your mind up
For making your mind up

You Don't Need A License For That
You Don't Need A License For That
Composer(s): Fred E. Cliffe - George Formby
Performer(s): George Formby
If you've a pub or a small hotel
You need a license for all you sell!
Huh, you may think I'm romancin'
But they even tax you for singin' and dancin'!
You need a license, whatever you do
One or two things they've exempted, it's true
Lumbago, the gout, or a touch o' the 'flu
You don't need a license for that!
Now I've got a license for chickens to lay
One of them sat on a brick yesterday
And then started cluckin', as much as to say
"He-he! You won't need a license for that!"
We've had a good time
A "wines in the wood" time
if it were duty free
We'd cut the taxes
With our battleaxes
Then roll out the barrel for me!
There is much license, you bet on your life
If you keep a cow, then there's trouble and strife!
As farmer Dean said when he looked at his wife
"By gum, I'll not need a license for that!"
You need a license for shootin' down game
But I'd rather flirt with a beautiful dame
'Cause I get the sport with the birds just the same
And I don't need a license for that!
We sit in the pictures, as warm as a glove
In the back row of the circle above
Two bobs' worth of dark and a basin of love
And I don't need a license for that!
We've had a good time
A "wines in the wood" time
if it were duty free
We'd cut the taxes
With our battleaxes
Then roll out the barrel for me!
Fishing at Richmond is licensed by law
A chap to his girl said, "Now you hold your jaw!
He-he! You know exactly what I'm fishing for
And I don't need a license for that, no sir!
And I don't need a license for that!

First release by: Nat King Cole - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists
Looking ba-a-ack over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking ba-a-ack over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just ha-ad the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in retu-u-urn
Now I can't begin to te-ell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking ba-a-ack over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

Performer(s): Dinah Washington & Fred Norman & his Orch.

In the dark it's just you and I
There's not a sound and there's not one sigh

Well well, when he places his fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me, "Please keep still!"
In the dark
But soon this dance will be endin,
And you're gonna, you're gonna be missed!
Gee but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear it's fun, it's fun to be kissed!
In the dark, in the dark now we will find
Oh, what the rest, what the rest have left behind!
Just let them dance
'Cause we're gonna find romance
In the dark!

Lookin' Up Lookin' Down
Lookin' Up Lookin' Down
Composer(s): Shawn Phillips
Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below
So slow
I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below
So slow
Sure would like to know what you been thinkin'
But I don't want to know when you been sinkin'
Go slow
You see yourself in a coffee cup
But you cannot stimulate the future up
Go slow
Every time I'm doin' a number
I'm thinkin' that I see your eyes
I keep crossing over borderlines
Seein' little babies die
And even though I'm economizing
I can't keep your high livin' style, child
It takes so long to believe it, Charlie
But what have you done to your smile?
I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below
Go slow
The alternative to truth is hypocrisy
If you want to choose the latter you won't never be free
Go slow
Ain't no such thing as revolution
It's got another name
It's called evolution
Go slow
Part of being free is a state of mind
You just got to learn to leave it all behind
Go slow

Bara Hon Älskar Mig
Bara Hon Älskar Mig
Composer(s): Stephan Berg
First performance by: Blond - 1997
Jag ser en flicka dansa genom natten
Ler så alla hjärtan stannar
Fast jag har vandrat genom eld och vatten
Rör hon mig som ingen annan
Och om hon faller för mig förändras allt
Om hon ser att den man hon väntar på
Det är jag
Det kan bli hon och jag
Bara hon älskar mig
Får jag den ängel hela himlen saknar
Och den enda kvinna jag vill ha igen
Bara hon älskar mig
Blir jag den man hon ser i sina drömmar
Alla andra har förlorat
Hon kan aldrig älska utan mig
Jag vågar inte möta hennes blickar
Visa att mitt hjärta brinner
Hur ska jag nånsin fånga denna flicka
Fråga innan hon försvinner
Fast andra män kunde dö för hennes skull
Så förstår jag att ingen ser
Vad hon vill ha
Det gör bara jag
Bara hon älskar mig
Får jag den ängel hela himlen saknar
Och den enda kvinna jag vill ha igen
Bara hon älskar mig
Blir jag den man hon ser i sina drömmar
Alla andra har förlorat
Hon kan aldrig älska utan mig
Jag har inget kvar att leva för
Ingenting är värt nåt om inte vi finner varandra
Vi blir ett
Bara hon älskar mig
Får jag den ängel hela himlen saknar
Och den enda kvinna jag vill ha igen
Bara hon älskar mig
Blir jag den man hon ser i sina drömmar
Alla andra har förlorat
Hon kan aldrig älska utan…
Bara hon älskar mig
Blir jag den man hon ser i sina drömmar
Hon kan aldrig älska utan mig

Playback
First performance by: Carlos Paiao - 1981
Podes não saber cantar
Nem sequer assobiar
Com certeza que não vais desafinar
Em play-back, em play-back, em play-back!
Só precisas de acertar
Não tem nada que enganar
E, assim mesmo, sem cantar vais encantar
Em play-back, em play-back, em play-back!
Põe o microfone à frente
Muito disfarçadamente
Vai sorrindo, que é p'ra gente
Lá presente
Não notar!...
Em play-back tu és alguém
Mesmo afónico cantas bem...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Hás-de sempre cantar bem
Em play-back, respirar p'ra quê?
Quem não sabe também não vê...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Dá p'ra toda uma soirée!..
Abre a boca, fecha a boca
Não te enganes, não te esganes
Vais Ter uma apoteose
Põe-te em pose
P´ra agradar!...
Em play-back é que tu és bom
A cantar sem fugir do tom...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Hás-de sempre cantar bem
Com play-back até pedem bis
Mas decerto, dirás feliz...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Agradeces e sorris

Looking Out for No. 1
Composer(s): Randy Bachman
Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive; The Guess Who
Ev'ry day is an endless train, you got to ride it to the end of the line
Be a troubleshooter, blow the bad luck away
And you will make it to your station on time
And you'll find out ev'ry trick in the book
And that there's only way to get things done
You'll find out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one
I mean you, keep looking out for number one
Ev'ry night is a different game, we gotta work for our fortune and fame
Success is a ladder, take a step at a time
And the people will remember you name
Yes, I found out all the tricks of the trade
And that there's only one way you're gonna get things done
I found out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one
And that's me, I'm looking out for number one
Ev'ry day is an endless train, but I ride it to end of the line
I'm a real troubleshooter, and I blow it away
No one's gonna get what's mine
I found out ev'ry trick in the book
And that there's only way to get things done
I found out the only way to the top is lookin' out for number one
I mean you, keep looking out for number one
And that's us; keep lookin' out for number one
That's me; I'm looking out for number one

Here is my guitar from Barcelona
Full of the soul of ancient Spain
Born of a tree in Catalonia
And of that mainly rainy plain
You'll like her form, gracious and slender
The sunny color of her skin.
You'll love her voice, mellow and tender
Her fiery beat will make you spin
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
I well remember when I met her
Hung in a showcase upside down
Right then and there I had to get her
From that old shop in Brussels town
Adios Espania and seguidillas
Adios toreros full of flame
No more sombreros and mantillas
Sister Adele shall be her name
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
One shiny day I heard God's calling
Oh yes, my Lord if You say so!
I packed my bags without much stalling
Took my quitar and said, Let's go!
Ever since then through every weather
Sister Adele stays at my side
Day in, day out, we sing together
Praising the Lord far and wide.
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
Sister Adele is never lonely
She helps me keep my hope up high
God is her love, her one and only
I know he voice can reach the sky
Someday up there God be willing
I'll be a guest in the great hall.
And for the dance won't it be thrilling
Sister Adele will lead the ball!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
