China My China
China My China
Composer(s): Brian Eno
First release by: Brian Eno - 1974
In the haze of the morning, china sits on eternity
And the opium farmers sell dreams to obscure fraternities
On the horizon the curtains are closing
Down in the orchard the aunties and uncles play their games
(like it seems they always have done)
In the blue distance the vertical offices bear their names
(like it seems they always have done)
Clocks ticking slowly, dividing the day up
These poor girls are such fun they know what God gave them fingers for
(to make percussion over solos)
China my china, I’ve wandered around and you’re still here
(which I guess you should be proud of)
Your walls have enclosed you, have kept you at home for thousands of years
(but there’s something I should tell you)
All the young boys are dressing like sailors
I remember a man who jumped out from a window over the bay
(there was hardly a raised eyebrow)
The coroner told me ’this kind of thing happens every day’
You see, from a pagoda, the world is so tidy

Recover Your Soul
Recover Your Soul
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
Baby you're missing something in the air
I got a name but it don't matter
What's going on, it's cold in here
You have a life but it's torn and tattered
Maybe you're losing pieces of your heart
You have a world but it stopped turning
You lose the day and gain the dark
Love was a fire but it stopped burning
Spare your heart, save your soul
Don't drag your love across the coals
Find your feet and your fortune can be told
Release, relax, let go
And hey now let's recover your soul
Lazy old sunset sinking like a tear
Alone at night in a losing battle
That perfect world is never clear
You have to fight for the things that matter
Spare your heart, save your soul
Don't drag your love across the coals
Find your feet and your fortune can be told
Release, relax, let go
And hey now let's recover your soul

The Milk Of Human Kindness
The Milk Of Human Kindness
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
When you knew that I had given all the kindness that I had
Did you think that it might be time to stop?
When you knew that I was through
That I’d done all I could do
Did you really have to milk the final drop?
Not content with my mistake
You behaved just like a snake
And you left me for a wasp without a sting
Tell all my friends back home
That I did it on my own
And that to their well-worn cares they should cling
When you knew that I had given all the kindness that I had
Did you feel you had to break that lonely vow?
When you knew that I was through
That I’d done all I could do
Did you really have to sow that final plough?
Not content with my mistake, you behaved just like a snake
And you left me for a wasp without a sting
Tell all the folks back home that he did it on his own
And that to their well-worn cares they should cling

China Grove
China Grove
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers; Pickin' On; The Wynners
When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
down around San Antone
and the folks are risin' for another day
'round about their homes
The people of the town are strange
and they're proud of where they came
Well, you're talkin' 'bout China Grove, wo, oh, oh
oh, China Grove
Well, the preacher and the teacher
Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin'
when the sun goes fallin' down
They say that the father's insane
and dear Missus Perkin's a game
We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove, wo, oh, oh
oh, China Grove
But ev'ryday there's a new thing comin'
the ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies
with their samurai swords
you can even hear the music at night
And though it's part of the Lone Star State
people don't seem to care
they just keep on lookin' to the East
Talkin' 'bout the China Grove, oh, China Grove

Recordándote
Recordándote
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
A ti
sueño desnudo
abierta tras la ventana
A ti
mi flor primera
de estío en la madrugada
A ti
mi memorable
cuerpo de arena y campana
A ti
mi adolescencia
que vuelves en la distancia...
recordándote
Yesterday
love was such an easy game to play...

L'esquimese
L'esquimese
((Adapted from: Quinn The Eskimo (Bob Dylan) - 1967))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Mogol
Performer(s): I Dik Dik - 1968
Correte qui, correte là
mai niente al mondo
più vi piacerà
C'è chi fa le navi
e chi le affonderà
c'è chi scrive musica
e chi la copierà
c'è chi pensa ai soldi e chi
pensa ai fatti suoi
Ma se l'esquimese viene qui
tutti corrono a vedere lui
Correte qui, correte là
mai niente al mondo
più vi piacerà
Ti piace più lo zucchero
e fare quel che vuoi
ti piace stare a pancia in su
e fare niente mai
allungar la mano e poi
mangiare quel che vuoi
Ma se l'esquimese viene qui
corri sempre a vedere lui
Vuoi dormire e purtroppo c'è
un gatto che fa miao
nessuno dorme mai
per tutti è un incubo oramai
di notte tu pensi troppo
così tu non sogni più
Ma se l'esquimese arriva qui
sono certo dormirai anche tu
Correte qui, correte là
mai niente al mondo
più vi piacerà

China Girl
China Girl
Composer(s): David Bowie - Iggy Pop
First release by: Iggy Pop - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
I could escape this feeling, with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing
I'm a mess without my, little China Girl
Wake up mornings where's my, little China Girl
I hear her heart's beating, loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down
I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the whites of my eyes
My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh-sh-shhh

Recordando A Glenn
Recordando A Glenn
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Después de poder a mis padres convencer
mi guitarra conseguí y en un grupo me metí
me gustaba Glenn y los Rolling Stone
sus notas copie y sus gestos imite
Recordando a Glenn
recordando a Glenn
recordando a Glenn, Glenn, Glenn
me emociono otra vez
Peinado hacia atrás
chaqueta de piel
ponía mi ilusión a cada actuación
a mi chica le conté que una estrella iba a ser
ella me siguió y me ayudo
Recordando a Glenn
recordando a Glenn
recordando a Glenn, Glenn, Glenn
me emociono otra vez
Hoy voy a escuchar un disco de Glenn
y me emocionó cuanto me alegró
aunque no llegué a una estrella ser
me supistes ayudar fuiste mi primera fans
Recordando a Glenn
recordando a Glenn
recordando a Glenn, Glenn, Glenn
me emocionó otra vez

Quinn The Eskimo
Quinn The Eskimo ((aka Mighty Quinn (Manfred Mann) - 1968))
((Italian Version: L'esquimese (I Dik Dik) - 1968))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan - 1967/Manfred Mann - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Ev'rybody's building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others, jotting down notes
Ev'rybody's in despair
Ev'ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's jump for joy
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But guarding fumes and making haste
It ain't my cup of meat
Ev'rybody's just standing 'round 'neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
them pigeons'll go to him
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
A cat's meow and a cow's moo, I can recite 'em all
Just tell me where it hurts honey
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get any sleep
There's someone on ev'ryone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's gonna doze
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

China Doll
China Doll
Composer(s): Robert Hunter - Jerry Garcia
First release by: Grateful Dead - 1974
A pistol shot at five o'clock
The bells of heaven ring
Tell me what you done it for
No I won't tell you a thing
Yesterday I begged you
Before I hit the ground
All I leave behind me
Is only what I found
If you can abide it
Let the hurdy gurdy play
Stranger ones have come by here
Before they flew away
I will not condemn you
Nor yet would I deny
I would ask the same of you
But failing, will not die
Take up your china doll
It's only fractured
Just a little nervous from the fall
La la la la la la la

Reconsider Me
Reconsider Me
Composer(s): Margaret Lewis; Mira Smith
Performer(s): Johnny Adams
Hello baby, yes it's really me
After the wrong I've done
Guess you're surprised to see me here at your door
Like a sparrow with a broken wing
Who's come back to beg you reconsider me
Oh, reconsider me
I can't make it without your love, you see
Just let me and I'll love you eternally
Oh baby, reconsider me
I learned the truth about the so-called good life
It was just a candle too short to burn the night
Now the darkness in my heart
I bring to you in plea
Oh light my way again reconsider me
Oh reconsider me
I can[t make it without your love, you see
So just let me and I'll love you eternally
Oh baby reconsider me

Well, you wake up in the morning, you hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the governor, she wants to free her man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab you and the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me

Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when
I shakes 'ands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that's lucky too
Now as the ladder of life
'As been strung
You may think a sweep's
On the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time
In the ashes and smoke
In this 'ole wide world
There's no 'appier bloke
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey

Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when
I shakes 'ands with you

A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when
I shakes 'ands with you
(Bert:)
I choose me bristles with pride
Yes, I do
A broom for the shaft
And a broom for the flume
Up where the smoke is
All billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars
Is the chimney sweep world
When the's 'ardly no day
Nor 'ardly no night
There's things 'alf in shadow
And 'alf way in light
On the roof tops of London
Coo, what a sight!
*Next stanza is not on the soundtrack*
Though I'm covered with soot
From me 'ead to me toes
A sweep knows 'e's welcome
Wherever 'e goes
(Mary:)
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
When you're with a sweep
You're in glad company
(Bert:)
No where is there
A more 'appier crew
(Both:)
Than them wot sings
"Chim chim cher-ee
Chim cher-oo!"
On the chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee
Chim cher-oo!

So long, oh how I hate to see you go
So long, oh how I hate to see you go
And the way that I will miss you
I guess you will never know
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way
I'm gonna let you go ahead on baby
Pray that you'll come back home some day
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you have changed your mind
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you have changed your mind
Why don't you reconsider baby
Give yourself just a little more time

The Midnight Oil
The Midnight Oil
Composer(s): Joseph Allen
Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell; Gretchen Wilson
That call was from the office and I guess
I'll have to burn the midnight oil again
And hon' you know how much the boss
Depends on me to lend a helping hand
I watch him in the mirror as I lie
And tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my make-up
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
The girls all got together and they called
To see if I could have some fun tonight
But you know me, the only thing I do
Is go to work and watch TV
And I watch him in the mirror as I lie
And tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my make-up
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
And tonight I'll cheat again
And tomorrow I'll be sorry
And I'll feel kind o' dirty
'Cause I'll have the midnight oil all over me
God knows his dream would shatter
If he knew the devil had me and won't set me free
While I'm puttin' on my make-up
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
While I'm puttin' on my make-up
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

À l'heure où chaque chose baigne dans la demi-clarté
Sur les hauts toits de Londres, oh, quelle beauté !

Die Ogen Van Jou
((Adapted from: Devoted To You (The Everly Brothers) - 1958))
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Hugo Matthysen
Performer(s): De Nieuwe Snaar - 1989
't mooiste van je mooie gezicht
trof me als een bliksemschicht
ja, ik ben er voor gezwicht
voor die ogen van jou
grootvaders vergeten hun jicht
de soldaat verwaarloost zijn plicht
als je ze plots op hen richt
die ogen van jou
ik heb al heel wat ogen gezien
sterren en diamanten
soms gaf ik zelfs acht of negen op tien
maar die van jou scoren 't maximum want
in het donker geven ze licht
zelfs al knijp ze zedig dicht
'k denk dat ik een fanclub sticht
voor die ogen van jou
