Moment By Moment


Moment By Moment
Composer(s): Lee Holdridge; Molly Ann Leiken
Performer(s): Yvonne Elliman



Though our love
Is like a winding road
Of uncertainty
I long trust your smile
And all the ways you feel
Touching me
Moment by moment
Our lifetime goes on
Till one day
Our somedays are gone
Look at us
Two drifters with a dream
Scared to see it though
But we're so happy now
It might be beautiful
If we do
For moment by moment
The choices we make
Depend on
The chances we take
Oh, for moment, moment by moment
Our lifetime goes on
Till one day
Our somedays are gone
For moment, moment by moment
The choices we make
Depend on
The chances we take
Ho, moment, moment by moment

Geni E O Zepelim


Geni E O Zepelim
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



De tudo que é nego torto
Do mangue e do cais do porto
Ela já foi namorada
O seu corpo é dos errantes
Dos cegos, dos retirantes
É de quem não tem mais nada
Dá-se assim desde menina
Na garagem, na cantina
Atrás do tanque, no mato
É a rainha dos detentos
Das loucas, dos lazarentos
Dos moleques do internato
E também vai amiúde
Co'os velhinhos sem saúde
E as viúvas sem porvir
Ela é um poço de bondade
E é por isso que a cidade
Vive sempre a repetir
Joga pedra na Geni
Joga pedra na Geni
Ela é feita pra apanhar
Ela é boa de cuspir
Ela dá pra qualquer um
Maldita Geni

Um dia surgiu, brilhante
Entre as nuvens, flutuante
Um enorme zepelim
Pairou sobre os edifícios
Abriu dois mil orifícios
Com dois mil canhões assim
A cidade apavorada
Se quedou paralisada
Pronta pra virar geléia
Mas do zepelim gigante
Desceu o seu comandante
Dizendo - Mudei de idéia
- Quando vi nesta cidade
- Tanto horror e iniquidade
- Resolvi tudo explodir
- Mas posso evitar o drama
- Se aquela famosa dama
- Esta noite me servir
Essa dama era Geni
Mas não pode ser Geni
Ela é feita pra apanhar
Ela é boa de cuspir
Ela dá pra qualquer um
Maldita Geni

Mas de fato, logo ela
Tão coitad e tão singela
Cativara o forasteiro
O guerreiro tão vistoso
Tão temido e poderoso
Era dela, prisioneiro
Acontece que a donzela
- e isso era segredo dela
Também tinha seus caprichos
E a deitar com homem tão nobre
Tão cheirando a brilho e a cobre
Preferia amar com os bichos
Ao ouvir tal heresia
A cidade em romaria
Foi beijar a sua mão
O prefeito de joelhos
O bispo de olhos vermelhos
E o banqueiro com um milhão
Vai com ele, vai Geni
Vai com ele, vai Geni
Você pode nos salvar
Você vai nos redimir
Você dá pra qualquer um
Bendita Geni

Foram tantos os pedidos
Tão sinceros tão sentidos
Que ela dominou seu asco
Nessa noite lancinante
Entregou-se a tal amante
Como quem dá-se ao carrasco
Ele fez tanta sujeira
Lambuzou-se a noite inteira
Até ficar saciado
E nem bem amanhecia
Partiu numa nuvem fria
Com seu zepelim prateado
Num suspiro aliviado
Ela se virou de lado
E tentou até sorrir
Mas logo raiou o dia
E a cidade em cantoria
Não deixou ela dormir
Joga pedra na Geni
Joga bosta na Geni
Ela é feita pra apanhar
Ela é boa de cuspir
Ela dá pra qualquer um
Maldita Geni

Molly Malone


Molly Malone (aka Cockles And Mussles)
Composer(s): James Yorkston; Edmund Forman



In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they both wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

Genghis Khan


Genghis Khan
Composer(s): Gilbert Paeffgen;
Jo McHugh; Philippe Quilichini
Performer(s): Nico



I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you

On your padded shoulder
And your golden chest
In a wilderness of glass we rest

And all the flowers they are our words
And my chances follow dances
Into a storm afraid

A sweet and bitter rest he gets
A sweet and bitter rest he gets

I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you

Love To Keep You In My Mind


Love To Keep You In My Mind
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield &The Impressions



Through loving you I seem to feel a spirit
Deep inside of me
Preciously guiding me
My woman of all women, dear to me

Forever love me
For I need you constantly
And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you, all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
Just love to keep you in my mind

Your face is so mysteriously kind
I bet that love is
Partial to your sign
Somehow I do believe that you are mine
Proving in a natural way
Things that I could never think to say

And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
Just love to keep you in my mind

The magic that you secretly possess
Ooh, I must confess
Must be working at its best
My love for you is one you'll always know
Wherever we may go
You will find that it is so
And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much, like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
I just love to keep you in my mind

Molly Durkin


Molly Durkin
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Murty Rabbett



I'm a dacint honest workin' man, as you might understand
And I'll tell to you the reason why I left old Ireland
'Twas Molly Durkin did it when she married Tim O'Shea
And to keep my heart from breakin', I sailed to Americay

Arragh, goodbye Molly Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
And my heart is nearly broken, but no longer I'll be fooled
And as sure as my name is Cooney, I'm bound for Califooney
And indtead of diggin' mortar I'll be diggin' lumps of gold

Well, I landed in Castle Garden, sure I met a man named Burke
And he told me remain in New York until he got me work
But he hasn't got it for me, so tonight I'll tell him plain
For San Francisco in the morn I'm going to take a train

Well, I'm out in Californy and my fortune it is made
I'm a-loaded down with gold and I throw away my pick and spade
Sail home to dear old Ireland with the Castle out of sight
And I'll marry Miss O'Kelly, Molly Durkin for to spite

Genesis


Genesis
Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen
Performer(s): Jorma Kaukonen



Time has come for us to pause
And think of living as it was
Into the future we must cross, must cross
I'd like to go with you
And I'd like to go with you
You say I'm harder than a wall
A marble shaft about to fall
I love you dearer than them all, them all
So let me stay with you
So let me stay with you
And as we walked into the day
Skies of blue had turned to grey
I might have not been clear to say, to say
I never looked away
I never looked away
And though I'm feeling you inside
My life is rolling with the tide
I'd like to see it be an open ride
Along with you
Going along with you
The time we borrowed from ourselves
Can't stay within a vaulted well
And living turns into a lender's will
So let me come with you
And let me come with you
And when we came out into view
And there I found myself with you
When breathing felt like something new, new
Along with you
Going along with you

Love Thy Neighbor


Love Thy Neighbor
Composer(s): Harry Revel - Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Love thy neighbor
Walk up and say "How be ya
Gee! But I'm glad to see ya, pal
How's tricks? What's new?"
Love thy neighbor
Offer to share his burden
Tell him to say the word "n"
You will see him through
Especially if there should be
a beautiful girl next door
Say to that girl next door
don't think I'm bold
But my mother told me to
Love thy neighbor
And you will find your labor
A great deal easier
Life'll be breezier
If you Love Thy Neighbor

Molly Brannigan


Molly Brannigan
(Traditional)
Performer(s): John McCormack
and various other artists



Ma'am dear, did ye never hear of pretty Molly Brannigan?
In troth, then, she's left me and I'll never be a man again
Not a spot on my hide will a summer's sun e'er tan again
Since Molly's gone and left me here alone for to die

The place where my heart was you'd aisy rowl a turnip in
'Tis large as all Dublin, and from Dublin to the Divil's glen
If she'd wish'd to take another, sure she might have left mine back again
And not have gone and left me here alone for to die

Ma'am dear, I remember when the milking time was past and gone
We strolled thro' the meadow, and she swore I was the only one
That ever she could love, but oh! the base and cruel one
For all I that she's left me here alone for to die

Ma'am dear, I remember when coming home the rain began
I wrapt my frieze-coat round her and ne'er a waistcoat had I on
And my shirt was rather fine-drawn, but oh! the false and cruel one
For all that she's left me here alone for to die

The left side of my carcase is as weak as water gruel, ma'am
There's not a pick upon my bones, since Molly's proved so cruel ma'am
Oh! if I had a blunder gun, I'd go and fight a duel, ma'am
For sure I'd better shoot myself than live here to die

I'm cool an' determined as any salamander, ma'am
Won't you come to my wake when I go the long meander, ma'am?
I'll think myself as valiant as the famous Alexander, ma'am
When I hear ye cryin' o'er me, "Arrah! why did ye die?"

Générosité


Générosité
Composer(s): Enrico Macias; Didier Barbelivien;
Jacques Revaux; Jean-Pierre Bourtayre
Performer(s): Enrico Macias



Pour l'aveugle qui voit
Pour le mendiant qui doit
Des trésors à ceux qui l'ont aimé
Pour le païen qui croit
Pour ce Bon Dieu en croix
Que tout le monde finit par oublier
Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon
De les rassembler

Pour l'oiseau en hiver
Pour l'enfant du désert
Que la pluie ne viendra pas sauver
Pour celui qui se bat
Pour celui qu'on abat
Au nom d'une étrange liberté
Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon
De nous révolter

{Refrain:}
Générosité pour les hommes
De bonne volonté
Générosité qui pardonne
Aux amours blessés
Pour tous ceux qui pleurent sur la terre
Les déshérités
Générosité quand on a tout donné

Pour les enfants du monde
Pour ceux de notre monde
La guerre des étoiles va commencer
Déclaration de paix
Déclaration d'amour
Combien de temps faudra-t-il prier
Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon
De nous rassurer

{au Refrain, Ad lib}

Love The One You're With


Love The One You're With
((German Version: Bleib So Wie Du Bist (Stefan Gwildis) - 2005))
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
First release by: Stephen Stills - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



If you're tired and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Your concentration slips away
Because your baby, sweetheart, sugar's so far away

And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey, love the one you're with (that's right)
Love the one you're with

Do do do do do do do do it
Do do do do do do do do it
Do do do do do do do do it

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together
Make it tonight
You aint gonna need any more advice

And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey, love the one you're with (that's right)
Love the one you're with

Gotta do something, the nights really jumping so love
Don't mind the feeling, it's not like you're falling in love
Hugging and kissing when you're love is missin love
Can't do no harm if it's only one night and you're in
My man, go ahead on
Find somebogy, get somebody
Love will still be right here when you get home
For a night, get the love

The eagles flying with the dove
And if you can't be in love
With the one you love
Just love the one you're with

Molly


Molly Composer(s): Steve Karliski Performer(s): Eddy Arnold; Bill Anderson



The war began, and Henry left his farm
Left his darling Molly with a baby in her arms
Now the war was over, and their life could begin
Molly saw her darlin' standin' at the door again

It's so nice to hear your voice again, Molly
So nice to feel your arms around me, Molly

Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry

Maybe I should have written
To let you know ahead of time
But I was afraid that you'd worry
If you knew that I'd gone blind

Do I hear you cryin', Molly?
Please don't cry, you silly thing
See what you've done?
You've even brought a tear to my eye

Oh how happy I'd be if i only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry

Where's my son? What does he look like, Molly?
Everyone says he took after me
Lord, I wish I could see
"Come here little man
Don't be afraid, I'm your daddy
I guess you'll get used to me in time," won't he, Molly?

It's so nice to hear your voice again, Molly
So nice to feel your arms around me Molly

Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry, please don't cry

Många Gånger Än


Många Gånger Än
((English Version: Time and Time Again (Agnetha Fältskog))
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog - Peter Himmelstrand - Bengt Palmers
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Vi ska hitta egna små ställen
Många gånger än
Somna med varandra på kvällen
Många gånger än
Vakna tillsammans, gräla ibland
Samsas och älska varann
Resa från varandra och sakna
Många gånger än

Vi ska va' ledsna tillsammans
Och skratta åt samma små skämt
Och ha nån att prata med jämt
Och vi ska sitta vid TV:n
Och slöa och ta ett glas rött
Och ha det så avspänt och trött, mmm....

Vi ska flyga bort på semester
Många gånger än
Snurra hop en middag på rester
Många gånger än
Vända på slantar, slösa nån gång
Sjunga en splitter ny sång
Vara spända vad som ska hända
Många gånger än

Vi ska ha stunder av lycka
När världen är öppen och ljus
Och stunder när drömmar blir grus
Och vi får tusen små minnen ihop
Vi blir veka inför
Och glömmer det trista som hänt som man gör

Vi ska hitta egna små ställen
Många gånger än
Somna med varandra på kvällen
Många gånger än
Vakna tillsammans, gräla ibland
Samsas och älska varann
Resa från varandra och sakna
Många gånger än

Generations


Generations
Performer(s): Joe Strummer & Electric Dog House



Back in the day
Even circles were squares
Radio waves
Move like pollen in air

When there ain't no water
And there ain't no trees
Just a dry wind singing
Through the telegraph keys

And generations
Leave resonations
From demonstrations
To all the destinations

Let's go burnin' down the road
Let's go burnin' down the road

Bright in the city
Wars spread in the world
You're out buying pajamas
For your four year old girl

Cheap on the rack
Feel like dirt
Oh do you feel like dirt
Cos you can see into the shaft
But it's self-assured

And generations
Leave resonations
From demonstrations
To all the decimations

Let's go burnin' down the road

Back in the day

And generations
Leave resonations
From demonstrations
To all the decimations

Let's go burnin' down the road
Let's go burnin' down the road

Let's go break down the walls
(???) together

Let's go burnin' down the road
Let's go burnin' down the road

Bleib So Wie Du Bist


Bleib So Wie Du Bist
((Adapted from: Love The One You're With (Stephen Stills) - 1970))
Composer(s): Stephen Stills - Michy Reincke
Performer(s): Stefan Gwildis - 2005



Sie hat’n neuen
Nun ist sie weg
und du machst sachen, die haben keinen zweck
du willst anders sein und läufst nur hinterher
was du auch tust, du wirst nie sein wie er

Laß dir zeit das zu versteh’n
geh deinen eigenen weg und du wirst seh’n
jeder ist richtig, wie er wirklich ist

Bleib so wie du bist, bleib so wie du bist

Um zu gefallen hat sich schon jeder gestreckt
doch diese welt war noch nie perfekt
hör auf so zu tun, als würd’s nur darum gehen
und wenn du dich verbiegst, frag dich für wen?

Nimm dir zeit das zu versteh’n
geh deinen eigenen weg und du wirst seh’n
jeder ist richtig, wie er wirklich ist

Also bleib so wie du bist, bleib so wie du bist

Es sind genug da draußen, die nur so tun als ob
die sehen sich nur von außen, doch das ist nicht dein job
nur wenn du’s ihnen nachmachst, gehörst du dazu
ich würd’s mir überlegen, besser du bleibst du

Und laß dir zeit das zu versteh’n
geh deinen eigenen weg & du wirst seh’n
jeder ist richtig, wie er wirklich ist

Also bleib so wie du bist, bleib so wie du bist
ich mag dich wie du bist

Molina, where you going to?
Molina, where you going to?

She's daughter to the mayor
Messing with the sheriff
Driving in a blue car
She don't see no red light

Molina, where you going to?
Molina, where you going to?

She's coming in the morning
Looking a disaster
Driving in the prowl car
Spent the night in jail

Molina, where you going to?
Molina, where you going to?
Oh!

Sheriff gonna go far
Driving to the state house
If she makes a million
Papa can retire

Molina, where you going to?
Molina, where you going to?

Génération Banlieue (Look For The Next Best Thing)
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'suis né en 1968
J'ai seize ans
Et je suis pas bien dans ma peau

J'en ai ras l'bol de bosser rien qu' pour le blé
J'en ai marre de m' faire arnaquer
Oui gagner ma vie en la perdant
Si ça continue je vais montrer les dent

À seize balais et déjà vieillard
Autour de moi y a qu' du brouillard
Ouais, mon avenir il est tout tracé
Une cage à Fleury ou en béton armé

C'est sûr qu'un soir ça va péter
C'est sûr qu'un soir ça va cogner
Fais gaffe à la fumée
Au feu les pompiers
Ma banlieue va exploser

Ma banlieue va exploser

Mon père m'a toujours dit de rester à ma place
Il a fini par se noyer dans la masse
A doper les gonzesses qui me collent à la peau
Flics et mariolles j'vais tout réduire à zéro

C'est sûr qu'un soir ça va péter
C'est sûr qu'un soir ça va cogner
Blouson harnaché
Le cuir au poignet
Ma banlieue va exploser

Ma banlieue va exploser
Ma banlieue va exploser
Oui ma banlieue va exploser
Oh ma banlieue va exploser...

Well I'm love struck baby I must confess
Life without you darlin' is a solid mess
Thinkin' 'bout you baby give me such a thrill

And what you do little baby

Every time I see ya make me feel so fine
My heart beatin' crazy

Your lovin' makes me feel like a mighty mighty man
Love me baby ain't I your man

I'm a love struck baby
Yeah I'm a love struck baby
You got me love struck baby
And I know just what to do

Sparks start flyin' every time we meet
Let me tell you baby you knock me off my feet
Your kisses trip me up and they're just doggone sweet
Don't you know baby you can't be beat

I'm a love struck baby
Yeah I'm a love struck baby
You got me love struck baby
And I know just what to do
