Looking On The Bright Side
Looking On The Bright Side
Composer(s): Howard Flynn
Performer(s): Gracie Fields
and multiple other artists
I'm looking on the bright side
Though I'm walking in the shade
Sticking out my chest, hoping for the best
Looking on the bright side of life
I'm waiting for the right tide
And if luck comes to my aid
Giving me a break, I shall be awake
Looking on the bright side of life
Today I'm in the shadow
Tomorrow maybe
The clouds will lift
And let the sun shift over to me
I'm looking on the bright side
Though today's all care and strife
I can wear a grin, sticking out my chin
Looking on the bright side of life
Sometimes grey days make us weary
And nothing seems worthwhile
Though it's difficult just keep cheering
And say with a smile
I'm looking on the bright side
Though I'm walking in the shade
Sticking out my chest, hoping for the best
Looking on the bright side of life
I'm waiting for the right tide
And if luck comes to my aid
Giving me a break, I shall be awake
Looking on the bright side of life
Today I'm in the shadow
Tomorrow maybe
The clouds will lift
And let the sun shift over to me
I'm looking on the bright side
Though today's all care and strife
I can wear a grin, sticking out my chin
Looking on the bright side of life
Da-da ...
I'm looking on the bright side
Though today's all care and strife
I can wear a grin, sticking out my chin
Looking on the bright side of life

Mysterious Woman
Mysterious Woman
Composer(s): John Farry
First performance by: Marc Roberts - 1997
I saw you at an airport
Ticket in your hand
I got a feeling in my heart
I didn't understand
Something in the way you were
Something foreign in your eyes
Made me wish that I could share
One moment of your life
Mysterious woman
I wonder, did you see
The kind of spell you put on me?
Mysterious woman
I wish I could find the key
To the kind of spell you put on me
The room was full of faces
But you stood out from the crowd
People going places
Far away beyond the clouds
Were you from the streets of Paris
Or the coast of Italy?
Or were you from as far away
As the gulf of Araby?
Mysterious woman
I wonder, did you see
The kind of spell you put on me?
Mysterious woman
I wish I could find the key
To the kind of spell you put on me
Did I imagine you smiled
Or were my thoughts going wild?
Suddenly you were going
The speaker called your plane
There was no way of knowing
If I'd ever see you again
But this brief, so brief encounter
Will always stay with me
I will always treasure
The bittersweet memory
Mysterious woman
I wonder, did you see
The kind of spell you put on me?
Mysterious woman
It'll always be a mystery
The kind of spell you put on me

Loppan
Loppan
Composer(s): Owe Törnqvist
Performer(s): Owe Törnqvist
Långt där ner i Västindien låg jag och solade mest hela dagen
Vit som snö är min kind igen men jag har röda små märken på magen
Vart tog den stygga lilla lopppan vägen?
Ingen som vet, ingen som vet
Vart tog den stygga lilla lopppan vägen?
Ingen som vet, ingen som vet
I Karibiens kärleksdikt sökte jag nog amoriner i palmen
Men där lade man större vikt vid vissa väsen som vistas i halmen
Vart tog den stygga ...
Med ett sånt litet kärleksbud håller sig där varje redliger deja
Ifrån en till en annan hud hoppar dom kvickt innan man hunnit säja
Vart tog den stygga ...
Töserna i Montego Bay tyckte jag dansade stel som en sticka
Men jag tror att dom andra sej när som jag hade vatt där blott en "vicka"
Vart tog den stygga ...
Jag blev stoppad vid Bromma tull, tullinspektören var bister den kvällen
Plötsligt kasta' han sej omkull och klia och klöste på alla de ställen
Vart tog den stygga ...
Inspektörskan mig pinglat har, tackat och bockat och nigit i luren
"Gustav har blitt en rivig karl sedan han träffade Herr Trubaduren"

Looking Forward Looking Back
Looking Forward Looking Back
Composer(s): Don Walker
Performer(s): Slim Dusty
Looking forward, looking back
I’ve come a long way down the track
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know
Making sense of what I’ve seen
All the love we’ve had between
You and I, along the track
Looking forward, looking back
There are strange days
Full of change on the way
But we’ll be fine, unlike some
I’ll be leaning forward, to see what’s coming
Looking forward, looking back
I’ve come a long way down the track
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know
If I’m alone at night, I can see
Through all the triviality
Of the day and I’m okay
I just think of those who are dear to me
Looking forward, looking back
I’ve come a long way down the track
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know
Making songs, from what I know
Looking forward, looking back ...

organ sound
Play with fingers of fire
play that organ

Brother Clifford plays the organ

people come from miles around
suddenly the air's
electric
when Brother Clifford takes the stand
Sister
Virgin you're an cold cow

to give Johnny one around the ear
caught an old
man who was napping
and she got one back
no

L'opéra
L'opéra
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon
J'étais tout seul à la maison
Mes parents, pour un soir
Étaient allés voir un opéra
J'en avais pour un bon moment
Ça n'arrivait pas si souvent
C'était comme une trêve
C'était comme un rêve, comme l'opéra
J'étais dans un château fort
J'avais une épée en or
Je me battais comme un fou par amour pour vous
Je me battais comme un roi par amour pour toi
Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon
Mes paroles étaient des chansons
Il n'y avait ni tambour
Ni baryton pour mon opéra
Mais dans mon imagination
Il y avait dix mille violons
Qui jouaient ma victoire
Faisaient de ma gloire un opéra
J'étais dans un château fort
J'avais une épée en or
Je me battais comme un fou, rendant coup sur coup
Je me prenais pour un roi par amour pour toi
Et devant l'enfant que j'étais
Toute la maison devenait
Une scène, un décor
Et c'était alors mon opéra
Je m'endormais sur les trois coups
Qui n'étaient peut-être, après tout
Qu'un volet qui battait
Quand ils revenaient de l'opéra
Mais j'étais dans mon château fort
Et j'avais mon épée en or
Je me battais comme un fou par amour pour vous
Je me battais comme un roi par amour pour toi
Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon
J'étais tout seul à la maison
Mes parents, pour un soir
Étaient allés voir un opéra

Looking For Yesterday
Looking For Yesterday
Composer(s): Eddie DeLange - Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Woody Herman
and multiple other artists
Looking for yesterday
Most any day I spent with you
One yesterday when I still had a laugh or two
One dance to our fav'rite tune
Then to our fav'rite lane
Who cares if there is no moon
Or we're drenched with rain
Looking for yesterday
Before you wrapped the sun in clouds
One yesterday before I hid away in crowds
My heart lives in misery
Always a stone in its shoe
Looking for yesterday and you

Dentro Di Me
Dentro Di Me
First performance by: Barbara Berta - 1997
Uomo, guardati dentro, cosa ti scuote
E ti fa sentire un po' perso
In questo enorme universo
Fatto di tante
Troppe parole dette per dire
Mai per capire, cosa ti spinge lontano
Da quel che è portata di mano
Ma irraggiungibile
Dentro di me faccio spazio perché
Dentro di me, ho bisogno di te
Dentro di me, dentro di me
Tengo un posto per te
Che hai bisogno di me
Hai bisogno di me
Uomo, apri la mente
Non esitare a scoprirti nel bene e nel male
Anche gli errori hanno il loro valore
Aiutano a crescere
Dentro di me faccio spazio perché (perché)
Dentro di me ho bisogno di te
Dentro di me, dentro di me
Tengo un posto per te
Che hai bisogno di me
Dentro di me prendo fiato perché
Dentro di me ho corso fino da te
Dentro di me, dentro di me
Io ti voglio per sé
Sei diverso da me
Sei diverso da me
Uomo, quanti misfatti
Quali ragioni, ci spingono tanto lontano
Quando a portata di mano
Hai l'incredibile

Loose Talk
Loose Talk
Composer(s): Freddie Heart - Ann Lucas
First release by: Freddie Heart - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists
So long we've been married
Life's burdens we carried
Though faith kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we make up
Someone seems to break up
Oh, darlin', what else can we do?
We may have to leave here
To find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me And happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
When I go out walkin'
There's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy, and we'll drift apart
But darlin' it's not true
Because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart
They say you are leavin'
That you are deceivin'
But you tell me they say the same about me
Oh, but we'll show them they're wrong
That loose talk can do harm
And hope that the truth they will see
We may have to leave here
To find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me
And happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
If some folks would leave us alone

Looking For The Time (Workin' Girl)
Looking For The Time (Workin' Girl)
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
Well, I work this corner from eleven to five
the hands get cold around midnight
You're askin' me if I've got the time
Well I don't know, but you're wastin' mine tonight
Whoa ... you say you're looking for the time
Well, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine
If you ain't got money take it down the avenue
'cuz I ain't got time for you until daylight
This sidewalk ice is cold as steel
I'm not Dorothy, I can't click my heels
One of these days I'll move to L.A.
Where the nights stay warm and the boys come out to play
Whoa ... you say you're looking for the time
Well, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine
If you ain't got money take it down the avenue
'cuz I ain't got time for you until daylight
Don't the snow light up the midnight sky
The snow plows roll and the limos fly
Don't you know
It's just another night
Oh, once I had a lover who treated me right
He lived so wrong he's doin' ninety-nine
Oh, I wish you had the money and I had the time
'Cuz I'd just let those limos slide on by

Soul Deep
Soul Deep
Composer(s): Wayne Carson
First release by: Clarence Carter - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Darlin' I don't know much
I know I love you so much
A lot depends on your touch
My love is a river running soul deep
A way down inside me it's a soul deep
Too big to hide, can't be denied
Love is a river running soul deep
I worked myself to euphoria
Just to show I adore ya
There's nothing I wouldn't do for ya
Cause my love is a river running soul deep
A way down inside me it's a soul deep
Too big to hide, can't be denied
Love is a river running soul deep
All I ever, ever hoped to be
Depends on your love for me
If you believe me, if you should leave me
I'd be nothing but a jilted male
I know darned well, I could tell, but
I don't know much
I know I love you so much
A lot depends on your touch
My love is a river running soul deep
A way down inside me it's a soul deep
Too big to hide, can't be denied
Love is a river running soul deep
My love is a river running soul deep
A way down inside me it's a soul deep
My love is a river running soul deep
A way down inside me it's a soul deep
My love is a river running soul deep
A way down inside me it's a soul deep...

Looking For The Right One
Looking For The Right One
Composer(s): Stephen Bishop
Performer(s): Stephen Bishop
I've been so unlucky, I'm no good at playing games
I remember their faces; forget their names
Thought I'd found the right one, but she hasn't found me
So I bundle up my emotions and start
Looking For The Right One
But will the right one ever come along?
Oh, I'm Looking For The Right One
When will the right one come along?
They say there's no use runnin' after something you'll never get
But my heart says, "Don't say no"
Somewhere in this lonesome city is the woman for me
But would I wait another lifetime just to keep on
Looking For The Right One
But will the right one ever come along?
Oh, I'm Looking For The Right One
When will the right one come along?
They say love always comes and goes
Well, that I already know
Yes, I really know
Looking For The Right One
But will the right one ever come along?
Looking For The Right One
But will the right one come along?

Niemand Heeft Nog Tijd
Niemand Heeft Nog Tijd
First performance by: Mrs. Einstein - 1997
Waar moet je heen met al je vragen
Als er niemand luisteren wil
Wat doe je met je lege dagen
Het liefst zet je de tijd heel even stil
Voordat je iemand hebt gevonden
Die tien minuten voor je heeft
Nou dat kan wel even duren
Je hoopt dat jij dan nog wel leeft
Want niemand heeft nog tijd
Alleen nog tijd om zich te haasten
Nee, niemand heeft nog tijd
Alleen nog maar om aan zichzelf te denken
Nee, nee, niemand heeft nog tijd
Niemand heeft nog tijd
Je snapt niets meer van de wereld
De tijd is duur want tijd is geld
Stilstaan is uit den boze
Dus tempo dat is wat er telt
De mensen blijven nog wel geven
Staan nooit stil bij hun gevoel
Snel kunnen zij per computer
Nog iets storten voor het goede doel
Want niemand heeft nog tijd
Alleen nog tijd om zich te haasten
Nee, niemand heeft nog tijd
Alleen nog maar om aan zichzelf te denken
Nee, nee, niemand heeft nog tijd
Niemand heeft nog tijd
Niemand heeft nog tijd, niemand heeft nog tijd
Niemand heeft nog tijd, niemand nee nee
Gaan wij ooit beseffen
Er is veel meer dan de factor tijd
Sta even stil, laat je verleiden
Tot wat meer gevoeligheid...

Call Her Your Sweetheart
Call Her Your Sweetheart
Composer(s): Leon Payne
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold; Frank Ifield; Alma Cogan
Call her your sweetheart whenever she feels blue
You know there's not a thing she wouldn't do for you
And when you are tempted to wander astray
Remember there are times she feels the very same way
Share all your sunshine and all your heartaches too
Let her know that she means more than all the world to you
You'll find the future holds a treasure worth much more than gold
If you'll only call her your sweetheart
Share all your sunshine and all your heartaches too
Let her know that she means more than all the world to you
You'll find the future holds a treasure worth much more than gold
If you'll only call her your sweetheart

Gonna have a ball
Looking for the good times, baby
