Casey Jones (Grateful Dead)
Casey Jones
Composer(s): Robert Hunter - Jerry Garcia
First release by: Grateful Dead - 1970
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
This old engine makes it on time
Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine
Hits River Junction at seventeen to
At a quarter to ten you know it's travlin' again
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Trouble ahead, lady in red
Take my advice you'd be better off dead
Switchman's sleeping, train Hundred and Two is
On the wrong track and headed for you
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Trouble with you is the trouble with me
Got two good eyes but you still don't see
Come round the bend, you know it's the end
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...

Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall
Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel
Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion
I don't know what is real
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion
So, I'll continue to continue
To pretend
That my life will never end
And that flowers never bend with the rainfall
The mirror on my wall casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection
I am blinded by the light
Of God and Truth and Right
And I wander in the night without direction
(refrain)
It's no matter if you're born to play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow
And so my fantasy becomes reality
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow
(refrain)

Soldato Universale
Soldato Universale
((Adapted from: The Universal Soldier (Buffy Sainte-Marie) - 1964))
Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie - Herbert Pagani
Performer(s): Claus - 1966
Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - De Eeuwige Soldaat (Boudewijn de Groot)
1966 - Je T'aime (Sheila)
È bianco, è nero, è biondo, è bruno
Combatte con le atomiche e le spade
Ha più di quarant’anni
e ne ha solo diciannove
combatte da quando è nato l’uomo
È ateo, indu, cattolico, ebreo
buddista, metodista, puritano
Capisce di far male
fa solo il suo dovere
uccide me per te amico mio
E combatte per il Canada, combatte per la Francia
combatte per gli U.S.A.
E combatte per la Russia
e combatte per la Cina
lui dice "Per la pace universale"
Non chiede per chi muore lui crede che uccidendo
la guerra finalmente finirà
Ed è lui che deve dire
chi vivrà e chi morirà
e non legge mai le scritte lì sui muri
Ma Hitler senza lui non avrebbe fatto tanto
Cesare sarebbe stato solo
Ed è lui che dà il suo corpo
come un arma per la guerra
senza lui queste stragi finiranno
È soldato universale ed è solo colpa sua
gli ordini non vengon più dall’alto
Vengon da noi, da voi, da me, da te
e fratelli non capite
Così la guerra non finisce più

Versions In Other Languages:
1957 - Le Ranch De Maria (Dalida)

Quando Martin vedete solo per la città
forse voi penserete dove girando va
Solo, senza una meta
Solo... ma c'è un perché
Aveva una casetta piccolina in Canadà
con vasche, pesciolini e tanti fiori di lillà
e tutte le ragazze che passavano di là
dicevano: "Che bella la casetta in Canadà"!
Ma un giorno, per dispetto, Pinco Panco l'incendiò
e a piedi poveretto senza casa lui restò
"Allora cosa fece?" - Voi tutti chiederete
Ma questa è la sorpresa che in segreto vi dirò
Lui fece un'altra casa piccolina in Canadà
con vasche, pesciolini e tanti fiori di lillà
e tutte le ragazze che passavano di là
dicevano: "Che bella la casetta in Canadà"!
E tante e tante case lui rifece ma, però
quel tale Pinco Panco tutte quante le incendiò
Allora cosa fece?
Voi tutti lo sapete!

Flowers In The Rain
Flowers In The Rain
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): The Move;
Joe Bourne; Nancy Sinatra
Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
and yellow roses gathered all around me
the time was still approaching four
I couldn't stand it anymore
Saw marigolds upon my eider down
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool
So I lay upon my side with all the windows opened wide
Couldn't pressurize my head from speaking
Hoping not to make a sound I pushed my bed into the grounds
In time to catch the sight that I was seeking
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool
If this perfect pleasure has the key
Then this is how it has to be
If my pillow's getting wet
I don't see that it matters much to me
I heard the flowers in the breeze make conversation with the trees
Believed to leave reality behind me
With my commitments in a mess my sleep has gone away depressed
In a world of fantasy you'll find me
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool

Je t’aime pour ton sourire, je t’aime pour ta douceur
Je t’aime pour tout ce qui est dans ton cœur
Pour le bras que tu offres et la main que tu tends
Et pour l’amour que tu portes aux enfants
Je t’aime pour ta façon de partager ton pain
Avec celui qui souffre de la faim
De donner ton manteau au pauvre qui a froid
Et d’abriter l’étranger sous ton toit
Je t’aime parce que tu sais trouver, lorsqu’il est dans l’ennui
Les mots qu’il faut pour aider un ami
Je t’aime pour ton dédain des gens qui se croient tout puissants
Ton mépris des honneurs et de l’argent
Je t’aime parce que tu ne seras jamais vraiment heureux
Tant qu’il y aura sur Terre des miséreux
Et parce que tu essaies, rien qu’avec tes deux mains
De transformer le monde de demain
Je t’aime parce que tu voudrais tant que sonnent par milliers
Les cloches des églises du monde entier
Que tu crois au bonheur qu’elles peuvent t’apporter
Que rien ne te décourage jamais
Je t’aime parce que tu sais rêver, loin des réalités
En suivant toujours, toujours ton idée
Et que tes rêves les plus beaux, ce sont les miens aussi
Nous allons les poursuivre tous les deux chaque jour de notre vie

Caserne
Caserne
Composer(s): Guy Thomas - Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Blanchis les troncs des marronniers
Tous au carré bien alignés
Rouges les toits rouges les briques
Bleu le ciment patriotique
Et pas une herbe dans la cour
Pour nous passer le mal d'amour
Ici tout est réglementaire
Pas un caillou n'est de travers
Murs en béton chevaux de frise
Y'a que les barbelés qui frisent
En rang par trois pas cadencé
Sous l'oeil attendri des bouchers
On maquignonne il faudrait voir
Pour les augustes abattoirs
Ici le monde est chamboulé
Les assassins sont galonnés
Partout la crasse et la bêtise
Ces deux vertus de l'entreprise
Partout la raison du plus fort
Sous le badigeon tricolore
Je reste à toi ma solitude
Dans le troupeau des habitudes
Et jusque dans le désarroi
Quand le poète est aux abois
Pour tous les moutons qui consentent
Je suis la rage impénitente
Seul au milieu de la débine
C'est à moi seul que je jaspine
Holà de la philanthropille
Y'a des consciences qui roupillent
Blanchis les troncs des marronniers
Tous au carré bien alignés
Rouges les toits rouges les briques
Bleu le ciment patriotique
Et pas une herbe dans la cour
Pour nous passer le mal d'amour...

Flowers For Madame
Flowers For Madame
Composer(s): Murray Mencher;
Charles Newman; Charles Tobias
Performer(s): Bob Crosby
Flowers for Madame
I bring you lovely flowers, sweet Madame
And though they may be beautiful to see
They could never be as beautiful as you
Every tender rose
May tell you what I'm trying to disclose
So won't you press them closely to your heart
That they may impart the love I hold for you
These precious moments when we meet
Are like a glorious bouquet
But they would be complete
If you gave me the right to say, "I adore you"
Flowers for Madame
I bring you lovely flowers, sweet Madame
And in my heart I'm hoping that perchance
They will start romance, these flowers for Madame

The End Of A Love Affair
The End Of A Love Affair
Composer(s): Edward Redding
Performer(s): Julie London
and multiple other artistss
So I walk a little too fast, and I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?
So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare
Do they know, do they care, that it's only
That I'm lonely, and low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all
So I smoke a little too much, and I joke a little too much
And the tunes I request are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair?

Cäsars Tod (Rom War Eine Stadt)
Cäsars Tod (Rom War Eine Stadt)
Composer(s): Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Ute Lemper
Rom war eine Stadt, und alle Römer
hatten in den Adern heißes Blut
Als sie Cäsar einst tyrannisch reizte
kochte es sofort in Siedeglut
Nicht die Warnung konnte Cäsar hindern
"Hüte vor des Märzes Iden dich!"
Er verfolgte seine frechen Ziele
und sah schon als Herrn der Römer sich
Immer schlimmer schlug ihn die Verblendung
nur sein Wort galt noch im Capitol
Und den weisen Rat der Senatoren
schmähte er gemein und höhnisch Kohl
Da kam stolzes Römerblut ins Wallen
Selbst der Freund bleibt keinem Cäsar treu
wenn ihn dieser nur für seine Zwecke
kalt mißbraucht und sagt es ohne Scheu
Heimlich trafen nachts sich die Verschwörer
und beredeten voll Eifer sich
Und genau am Tag der Märzesiden
gab ihm Brutus den verdienten Stich
Cäsar sank von seinem Sitz und stierte
seinen Mörder an, als ob’s nicht wahr
"Et tu, Brute" — rief er auf lateinisch
wie es dort die Landessprache war
Lasse keiner sich vom Wahn verführen
daß er mehr als jeder and’re gelt
Cäsar wollte mit dem Schwert regieren
und ein Messer hat ihn selbst gefällt

Flowers Are Red
Flowers Are Red
Composer(s): Harry Chapin
Performer(s): Harry Chapin;
Zain Bhikha; Tom Chapin; Iain MacKintosh
The little boy went first day of school
He got some crayons and started to draw
He put colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw
And the teacher said..
What you doin' young man
I'm paintin' flowers he said
She said...
It's not the time for art young man
And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything young man
And a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not the only one
And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen
But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one
Well the teacher said..
You're sassy
There's ways that things should be
And you'll paint flowers the way they are
So repeat after me.....
And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen
But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one
The teacher put him in a corner
She said..
It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
And he went up to the teacher
And this is what he said.. and he said
Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen
Time went by like it always does
And they moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin'
She said...
Painting should be fun
And there are so many colors in a flower
So let's use every one
But that little boy painted flowers
In neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him why
This is what he said.. and he said
Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen

Super cool dude cross the room diggin' on me
I tried to pretend like I didn't even see him
But he was so fine
He took my hand and started to dancin'
I know he felt me fallin' for him
'cause he kept holdin' me tighter and tighter, ooh
Sure was nice

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
Life is a dream, yet it's so real
Hard to explain, just how you feel
Deep in your heart, joy seems to dwell
Like poets say, it's perfectly swell
In every step, of this old dance
There is delight, love and romance
If you are the one, give me the few
And I am sure there's no one like you
You are all I dream
You are a part of my heart and esteem
And since I've met you
Now I know that dreams do come true
Love is a dream, yet it's so real
Hard to explain, just how you feel
Deep in your heart, joy seems to dwell
Like poets say, it's perfectly swell

Casanova
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1974
You - the hero
So many times
You´ve loved
And didn´t linger
Now my finger
Points at you
- Another loser
You - an island
On your own
Complete
In every detail
Monumental
A precious jewel
Or just a fool
Innovator
It´s in your mind
And blood
I watch it simmer
I see you´re courting
More despair
No hope?
Not a glimmer
Now you´re nothing
But second hand
In glove
With second rate now
Now you´re flirting
With heroin
- Or is it cocaine?
Casanova -
Is that your name
Or do you live there?
I know my place
Is here with you
Tonight
But not together
