Up in my bedroom (making love)

Someone's taken my place
Celia, you're breaking my heart

Come on home

For Your Eyes Only
For Your Eyes Only
Composer(s): Michael Leeson; Bill Conti
Performer(s): Sheena Easton;
and various other artists
For your eyes only, can see me through the night
For your eyes only, I never need to hide
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new
I never felt until I looked at you
For your eyes only, only for you
You'll see what no one else can see
And now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The love I know you need in me
The fantasy you`ve freed in me
Only for you, only for you
For your eyes only, the nights are never cold
You really know me, that's all I need to know
Maybe I`m an open book, because I know you're mine
But you won't need to read between the lines
For your eyes only, only for you
You see what no one else can see
And now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The passions that collide in me
The wild abandoned side of me
Only for you, for your eyes only

The Gasman Cometh
The Gasman Cometh
Performer(s): Flanders & Swann
'Twas on the Monday morning, the Gas man came to call
The gas tap wouldn't turn - I wasn't getting gas at all
He tore out all the skirting boards to try and find the main
And I had to call the carpenterto put them back again
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
'Twas on the Tuesday morning. the Carpenter came round
He hammered, and he chiselled, and he said "Look what I've found
Your joists are full of dry rot, but I'll put them all to rights"
Then he nailed right through a cable and out went all the lights
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
'Twas on the Wednesday morning the Electrician came
He called me 'Mister Sanderson', which isn't quite my name
He couldn't reach the fuse box without standing on the bin
And his boot went thru a window, so I called a glazier in
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
'Twas on the Thursday morning the Glazier came round
With his blowtorch and his putty and his merry glazier sound
He put another pane in - it took no time at all
Then I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
'Twas on the Friday morning the Painter made a start
With undercoats, and overcoats, he painted every part
Every nook and cranny, but I found when he had gone
He'd painted over the gas tap, and I couldn't turn it on!
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
On Saturday and Sunday they do no work at all
So it was on the Monday morning that the Gas man came to call

Cebola Cortada
Composer(s): Petrúcio Maia - Aldo Clodô
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner; MPB-4; Milton Nascimento
O orvalho da noite
Brinca na luz do luar
Quem acredita em sereia
Sabe os segredos do mar
A cachoeira cantando
É a canção natural
Sempre lembrando prá gente
Que amar nunca faz mal
Teu amor é cebola cortada meu bem
Que logo me faz chorar
Teu amor é espinho de mandacarú
Que gosta de me arranhar
Teu olhar é cacimba barrenta meu bem
Que eu gosto de espiá

For You, For You
For You, For You
Composer(s): Green; Guest
Performer(s): Michael Holliday
If they told me, paint a picture
Well, I wouldn't have a clue
But a little word from you, from you
Just a little lovin' word from you
I could paint the whole darn town for you
For you, for you
And if they told me, lead an army
I could lose a war or two
But a little smile from you, from you
Just a little lovin' smile from you
I'd go out and fight the world for you
For you, for you
I never had ambition
To get up, go and do
But since you crossed my vision
I do, I do, I do
Oh, if they told me, build a castle
I would answer, no can do
But a little kiss from you, from you
Just a little lovin' kiss from you
I could build a life of love for two
For you, for you
Well, I never had ambition
To get up and go and do
But since you crossed my vision
I do do do do, I really do
If they told me, build a castle
I would answer, no can do
But a little kiss from you, from you
Just a little lovin' kiss from you
I could build a life of love for two
For you, for you
Maybe for three
Or four or more
For you, for you

The Gartan Mother's Lullaby
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Dubliners
and multiple other artists
Sleep, O babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight fall
Eaval from the Grey Rock comes to wrap the world in thrall
A leanbhan o, my child, my joy, my love and heart`s desire
The crickets sing you a lullaby beside the dying fire
Dusk is drawn and the Green Man`s thorn is wreathed in rings of fog
Sheevra sails his boat till morn upon the starry bog
A leanbhan o, the paly moon hath brimmed her cusp in dew
And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune I sing, O love, to you

C'è una strana espressione nei tuoi occhi
vogliono dirmi che non mi ami più
vogliono dirmi che non mi vuoi più bene
mi fanno già capir che io ti perderò
Come è strana stasera la tua voce
mi sta dicendo che non ho più il tuo amor
mi sta dicendo che tu non vuoi parlarmi più
mi fa capire che, che io ti perderò
E' finita così semplicemente
la fiamma è spenta, il nostro amor non vive più
e nei tuoi occhi vedo quel che non sai dire
Non dirlo già lo so, che tu mi lascerai
Ti perderò

The Garden Where The Praties Grow
The Garden Where The Praties Grow
(Traditional)
Performer(s): John McCormack
and multiple other artists
Have you ever been in love my boys
Or have you felt the pain?
I'd sooner be in jail myself
Than be in love again
For the girl I loved was beautiful
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow
She was just the sort of creature boys
That Nature did intend
To walk right through the world my boys
Without the Grecian bend
Nor did she wear a chignon
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow
Says I: "My pretty Kathleen
I'm tired of single life
And if you've no objection, sure
I'll make you my sweet wife"
She answered me right modestly
And curtsied very low
"O you're welcome to the garden
Where the praties grow"
She was just the sort of creature boys
That Nature did intend
To walk right through the world my boys
Without the Grecian bend
Nor did she wear a chignon
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow
Says I: "My pretty Kathleen
I hope that you'll agree"
She was not like your city girls
Who say you're making free
Says she: "I'll ask my parents
And tomorrow I'll let you know
If you'll meet me in the garden
Where the praties grow"
She was just the sort of creature boys
That Nature did intend
To walk right through the world my boys
Without the Grecian bend
Nor did she wear a chignon
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow
O the parents they consented
And we're blessed with children three
Two boys just like their mother
And a girl the image of me
And now we're goin' to train them up
The way they ought to go
For to dig in the garden
Where the praties grow
She was just the sort of creature boys
That Nature did intend
To walk right through the world my boys
Without the Grecian bend
Nor did she wear a chignon
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow

C'è Tutto Un Mondo Intorno
C'è Tutto Un Mondo Intorno
Composer(s): Piero Cassano - Giancarlo Golzi - Carlo Marrale - Antonella Ruggiero - Salvatore Stellita
Performer(s): Matia Bazar
Se per caso un giorno o l'altro
ti trovassi solo sai
senza una compagna che ti aiuta nei tuoi guai
e se poi il cielo blu
si chiude all'improvviso su di te
e ti senti come un ladro che
ha paura anche di sé
guardati allo specchio
e guarda un poco un poco intorno a te
c'è tutto un mondo intorno che
gira ogni giorno e che
fermare non potrai
e viva viva il mondo
tu non girargli intorno
ma entra dentro al mondo dai
Se nel buio che ti avvolge
una fiamma scorgerai
corri corri senza indugi
forse è il sole che tu vuoi
ma se come un fiume in piena poi
il tempo ormai usato se ne va
ed un naufrago ti senti tu
da solo scruta il blu
quella fiamma sconosciuta
è la tua zattera lo sai
dai
c'è tutto un mondo intorno che
gira ogni giorno e che
fermare non potrai
e viva viva il mondo
tu non girargli intorno
ma entra dentro al mondo
dai... (coro)
che gira ogni giorno
e che fermare non potrai
e viva viva il mondo
tu non girargli intorno
ma entra dentro al mondo dai...
c'è tutto un mondo intorno
che gira ogni giorno
e che fermare non potrai

For You For Me
For You For Me
Composer(s): Jon Anderson
Performer(s): Jon Anderson
First the planet, a star
Suspended in the realm of infinity
Soul and light charged together
In form called life adorned
To which the world offered a home
Once made for love
And love alone
For you, for me
For you, for me
It did not stop there, we are form
The magic body, that soft machine
Acclimatised with vision
And just enough thought to begin the test
To learn and just in front
The source of indifference
To the song of knowledge ever sung
For you, for me
For you, for me
The climate in itself creates a sound so volatile
It makes these words seem clueless forever more
But if in honesty it takes just one dream
To evaluate the chance of choice
Dispelling the clear light
Invincible
Impregnable
For you, for me
For you, for me
Hear it
Down through the age of time
The moment is not and never shall be time
We each revolve around the magnitude
Of time and motion
The point of all is of course not for our earthly talk
For we stand, we walkk, we kick, we provoke
We council, we destroy, we look, we employ
We say, here we are and why
No there life form asks why
Hear me
Hear me
Oh yes! you critics of life and love
You stallions of the pen and more
While you spew your dry thoughts
On poets of nature, hang them low
Scoff with glee the unfortunate mass
You say stil lclings to the treasures of the past
And music
For you, for me
For you, for me
You hear it now
You hear it now
I hear you now

The Garden In Our Back Yard
The Garden In Our Back Yard
Composer(s): Jeff Branen - James Brockman
Out in our town everybody there
Even tho the Mayor tries to do his share
Teachers, Preachers, digging everywhere
We're as busy as can be
One old soldier close to ninety three
With a shovel on his shoulder said to me
I've been told I'm going to propose
To a girl named Rose Little turnip nose
Radish hair and freckles, I suppose
I have bought a carrot ring
Rosie, Rosie
Just the proper thing
I can cauliflower to breakfast, lettuce sing
You ought to see the little garden in our back yard
It's like a farm in Illionis
With turnips and tomatoes
Cabbage and potatoes 'Twould fill your little heart with joy
The boys are figthing in the trenches you know what that means
That's why I'm working mighty hard
I'm goin' to raise a little army of "Navy beans"
In our backyard
You ought to see the little garden in our back yard
It's where the old barn used to stand
The cows are in the kitchen
All of us are itchin'
To cultivate that strip of land
The prices going going up is the groc'ry man's yarn
But really I don't give a darn
We've got a bushel of potatoes but no more barn
In our back yard

Han han honey
Chérie
Si tu voulais rentrer tes griffes
Hum ce s'rait bien
Et quitter ton air agressif
Hum ce s'rait bien
Si tu t'décidais à m'embrasser
Tout est tout feu et de l'amour dans tes yeux
Ce serait bien
Hum ça s'rait bien
Si tu me donnais ton téléphone
Hum ce s'rait bien
Ma vie serait moins monotone
Hum ce s'rait bien
Le jour et la nuit en prenant l'écouteur
Tu entendrais les battements de mon cœur
Hum ce s'rait bien
Hum ce s'rait bien
Enfin j'ai pu t'emmener un soir
Hum c'était bien
Dans un cinéma des boulevards
Hum c'était bien
Oh! mais je t'en prie
La prochaine fois chérie
Ah! Si tu venais
Sans ta mère avec toi
Ce s'rait bien
Hum ce s'rait bien
Hum ce s'rait bien

The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart
The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart (aka Heart Of My Heart)
Composer(s): Ben Ryan
Performer(s): The Four Aces
and multiple other artists
I sometimes wish I was a kid again
Down in the old neighbourhood
Just to be with Charlie, with little Joe and Pete
Boy, we had a quartet that was mighty hard to beat
I'd love to stand down by that cellar door
Just to hear that Quartet sing once more....
"Heart of my heart", I love that melody
"Heart of my heart" brings back a memory
When we were kids on the corner of the street
We were rough and ready guys
But oh, how we could harmonise
"Heart of my heart" meant friends were dearer then
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten
If once more I could listen
To the gang that sang "Heart of my heart"

Ce Sont Des Gosses
Ce Sont Des Gosses
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Quand je t'embrasse
Au milieu de la rue
Ils nous regardent
Et pensent d'un air indulgent
Ce ne sont que des enfants
Des gosses
Quand j'enlace tes épaules nues
Dans la glace
Je les vois dire en souriant
Ce ne sont que des enfants
Des gosses
Mais nous
Nous savons où va notre amour
Bien loin
Bien plus loin que le jour
Ce qui compte ce sont tous nos rêves
C'qu'ils racontent
On s'en moque éperdument
Nous ne sommes plus des enfants
Des gosses
Quand je regarde nos photos de vacances
Par mégarde ils entrent et disent en passant
Mon dieu c'qu'il est enfant
Un gosse
En colère
Si j'crie que je t'aime
Rien à faire
On me répond gentiment
Tu parles comme un enfant
Un gosse
Mais nous
Nous savons où va notre amour
Bien loin
Bien plus loin que le jour
Laisse les dire jusqu'à c'qu'ils comprennent
Laisse les dire jusqu'à c'qu'ils apprennent enfin
Qu'on est plus des gamins
Des gosses
Ouh des gosses
Ouh des gosses
Ouh des gosses
Ouh des gosses
Ouh!

This little tender rose
The rarest flower
In all God's garden fair

The heart that loves thee well
And let it flame
Before thy shrine, my own
Take thou my heart
For oh, your dear eyes tell
God fashioned it for you
For you alone
