Coda Di Lupo
Coda Di Lupo
Composer(s): Massimo Bubola; Fabrizio De André
Originally performed by: Fabrizio De André
Covered by various other artists
Quando ero piccolo m'innamoravo di tutto correvo dietro ai cani
e da marzo a febbraio mio nonno vegliava
sulla corrente di cavalli e di buoi
sui fatti miei sui fatti tuoi
e al dio degli inglesi non credere mai
E quando avevo duecento lune e forse qualcuna è di troppo
rubai il primo cavallo e mi fecero uomo
cambiai il mio nome in "Coda di lupo"
cambiai il mio pony con un cavallo muto
e al loro dio perdente non credere mai
E fu nella notte della lunga stella con la coda
che trovammo mio nonno crocifisso sulla chiesa
crocifisso con forchette che si usano a cena
era sporco e pulito di sangue e di crema
e al loro dio goloso non credere mai
E forse avevo diciott'anni e non puzzavo più di serpente
possedevo una spranga un cappello e una fionda
e una notte di gala con un sasso a punta
uccisi uno smoking e glielo rubai
e al dio della scala non credere mai
Poi tornammo in Brianza per l'apertura della caccia al bisonte
ci fecero l'esame dell'alito e delle urine
ci spiegò il meccanismo un poeta andaluso
- Per la caccia al bisonte - disse - Il numero è chiuso
E a un Dio a lieto fine non credere mai
Ed ero già vecchio quando vicino a Roma a Little Big Horn
capelli corti generale ci parlò all'università
dei fratelli tutte blu che seppellirono le asce
ma non fumammo con lui non era venuto in pace
e a un dio fatti il culo non credere mai
E adesso che ho bruciato venti figli sul mio letto di sposo
che ho scaricato la mia rabbia in un teatro di posa
che ho imparato a pescare con le bombe a mano
che mi hanno scolpito in lacrime sull'arco di Traiano
con un cucchiaio di vetro scavo nella mia storia
ma colpisco un po' a casaccio perchè non ho più memoria
e a un dio senza fiato non credere mai

Rich Girl
Rich Girl
Composer(s): Daryl Hall
Performer(s): Hall & Oates;
and various other artists
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far
And don't you know, don't you know
That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong
'Cause
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far
High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far
Say money but it won't get you too far
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far
And you say
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
You're a rich girl, a rich girl
Oh, you're a rich rich girl yeah
Say money but it won't get you too far
Oh, get ya too far

The Smile I Live For
The Smile I Live For
Composer(s): Christine McVie
Performer(s): Christine McVie
It took a lifetime to find you
And now I want you to stay
Oh, I don’t mind you can do anything
You can love me night and day
When you are there
Just to know you care
Brightens up a starless night
Your smile is all that I
That I live for
And I don’t know
What I did before
Your smile
Your smile
Makes it all worthwhile
Then you changed it around
Don’t let your little baby down
You were the only one
Thought I had you on the run
But now I guess it’s me
Begging you- begging you
When you are there
Just to know you care
Brightens up a starless night
Your smile is all that I
That I live for
And I don’t know
What I did before
Your smile
Your smile
Makes it all worthwhile
Then you changed it around
Don’t let your little baby down
You were the only one
Thought I had you on the run
But now I guess it’s me
Begging you- begging you

The Security Of Illusion
The Security Of Illusion
Performer(s): Saga
Don't be fooled by what you see
I'm just an ordinary man
So many years I've sacrificed my needs
So give the gentleman a hand
I can make you look the other way
I know exactly what you'll see
It never ceases to amaze
What you're watching is my dreams
But oh if you want some more
All you have to do is ask
Oh you think you've seen it all
But I always save the best for last
I was alone until I learned
The security of illusion
I can't explain but you must observe
The security of illusion
But oh if you want some more
All you have to do is ask
Oh you think you've seen it all
But I always save the best for last
Now just look into my eyes
I've found the way
Through the confusion
That's why I've lived my life
Safe inside the security of illusion
The security of illusion
The security of illusion
The security of illusion
Oh if you want some more
All you have to do is ask
Oh you think you've seen it all
But I always save the best for last
Now just look into my eyes
I've found the way
Through the confusion
That's why I've lived my life
Safe inside the security of illusion
The security of illusion
The security of illusion
I was alone until I learned
The security of illusion
I've found a home and it's safe and sound
The security of illusion
I can't explain the security of...

Cod Liver Oil
Cod Liver Oil
Performer(s): Val Doonican
I'm a young married man and I'm tired of life
For years I've been married to a poor sickly wife
She does nothin' all day but to sit there and sigh
Wishin' and prayin' that she-ee could die
A friend from the village was talkin' one day
I told him me wife was a-fadin' away
He afterwards told me that she would get strong
If I got a bottle from old Doctor John
Well I bought her one bottle to give her good cheer
The way that she drank it you'd swear it was beer
I got her a second, and it went the same
I think she's got cod liver oil on the brain
Oh doctor, oh doctor, oh dear doctor John
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
I'm afraid of me life I'll go down in the soil
If me wife don't stop drinkin' your cod liver oil
Well it gave her good cheer and of that there's no doubt
Each week she got better and then she got stout
And as she got fatter of course she got strong
I think there's a devil in old Doctor John
There's bottles and bottles all over the house
But as she got strong I'm as quiet as a mouse
I've got to the stage if the kettle should boil
I'd swear it was singing of cod liver oil

Ribbons of blue
Remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you
My ol' ribbons of blue
Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you
My ol' ribbons of blue
Got me a ribbon
Bright blue ribbon for my hair
Made me a promise
Now I know he didn't care
Touched by his first kiss
Fooled by his first song
The way he led me along
With my ribbons undone
Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you
My ol' ribbons of blue
Sad for me baby
So bad for me baby, oohh
Hard on me baby
So far from me baby, oohh
Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red

Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you
My ol' ribbons of blue
Blue ribbon dreamer
Came with words that sounded right
Took me dancing
Held me close and
Held me tight
Fooled by his first kiss
Touched by his first song
The way he led me along
With my ribbons undone
Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you
My ol' ribbons of blue

The Smile
The Smile
Composer(s): William Blake - Christopher Franke - Edgar Froese - Paul Haslinger
Performer(s): Tangerine Dream
There is a smile of love
And there is a smile of deceit
And there is a smile of smiles
In which these two smiles meet
And there is a frown of hate
And there is a frown of disdain
And there is a frown of frowns
Which you strive to forget in vain
For it sticks in the heart's deep core
And it sticks in the deep backbone
And no smile that ever was smiled
But only one smiles alone
That betwixt the cradle and grave
It only once smiled can be
But when it once is smiled
There's no end to misery

The Secrets That You Keep
The Secrets That You Keep
Composer(s): Mike Chapman - Nicky Chinn
Performer(s): Mud
Oo-oo-oo-oo the secrets that you keep
I've only got myself to blame
I played a losing game
I lie awake and call your name
Our love is just a picture in a broken frame
It seemed so hard for me to share
It's even harder now that you're not there
(Now baby)
I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep
(Oh baby)
I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep
I lie awake at nights not knowing where you are
You know it don't seem right
That you could be so far away from me
Oh the secrets that you keep
Since you've been gone our worlds have grown apart
Now I don't know what's in your head or in your heart
Those little things you kept so secretly
Well they don't mean much to you now
But they mean so much to me
If you could give me just one more chance
I'm the fool who broke up our romance
We used to have so many plans
Then I went and let you slip right through my hands
I'll go searching till I find
A way to get you back and make you mine
(Until then)
I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep...

Coconuts
Coconuts
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez
Coconuts sitting in my hand
Remindin' me of my island man
And my island man sitting in his hut
Dreamin' about my coconuts
Coconuts floating in the sea
I remember you, I remember me
Coconuts dancing in the sand
And I'm in love again with my island man
Coconut milk is like a stream
That comes from the mountain pure and clean
And the man he comes to drink it up
Never tires of the taste of those coconuts
Coconuts floating in the sea
I remember you, I remember me
Coconuts dancing in the sand
And I'm in love again with my island man
Coconut flavor sweet and mild
Remindin' me of my island child
And my island child all grown up
Out in the carnival of life jugglin' coconuts
Coconuts floating in the sea
I remember you, I remember me
Coconuts dancing in the sand
And I'm in love again with my island man

Ribbon Of Darkness
Ribbon Of Darkness
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot;
and various other artists
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds a-atherin' o'er my head
That kill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is falling on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she is gone from the meadow
My love goodbye
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
Ribbon of darkness over me
Here in this cold room lyin'
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you
Oh how I wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day
Come on home and take away
This ribbon of darkness over me

The Sky Is Cryin’

She was walking on down the street
I saw may baby early this mornin’
She was walking on down the street
You known it hurt me… hurt me so bad
Made my poor heart skip a beat
I’ve got a real, real, real, real bad feelin’... that my baby she don’t love me no more

You know the sky... the sky’s been cryin’ yah

The Secret Language Of Birds
The Secret Language Of Birds
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Ian Anderson
This sparkling wine is all but empty
Too late for trains and no taxis
I know the feeling
Seems all too contrived
There was no master plan but the fact is
you must stay with me and learn the secret language of birds
A tentative dawn about to be breaking
on a Rousseau garden with monkeys in hiding
The truth of the matter, yet to be spoken
in words on which everything, everything's riding
Now stay with me and learn the secret language of birds
Circled by swallows
in a world for the weary
Courted by warblers; wicked and eloquent trilling
Lie in the stillness, window cracked open
Extended moments, hours for the taking
Careless hair on the pillow, a bold brushstroke
Painted verse with a chorus in waiting
Stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

Performer(s): Stevie Wonder;
and various other artists
Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love
If allowed may I touch your hand
And if pleased may I once again
So that you too will understand
There's a ribbon in the sky for our love
Do...Do...
Do Do Do Do Do...
Hmm Hmm...
This is not a coincidence
And far more than a lucky chance
But what is that was always meant
Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love
We can't lose with God on our side
We'll find strength in each tear we cry
From now on it will be you and I
And our ribbon in the sky
Ribbon in the sky
A ribbon in the sky for our love
Do...Do...
Do Do Do Do Do...
Hmm Hmm...
There's a ribbon in the sky for our love

Riacho Do Navio
Composer(s): Luiz Gonzaga; Zé Dantas
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Riacho do Navio corre pro Pajeú
O rio Pajeú vai despejar no São Francisco
O rio São Francisco vai bater no meio do mar
Se eu fosse um peixe
Ao contrário do rio
Nadava contra as águas e nesse desafio
Saía lá do mar, pro riacho do navio
Eu ia diretinho pro riacho do navio
Fazer o meu ranchinho
Fazer umas caçadas, vê as pegas de boi
Andar nas vaquejadas
Dormir ao som do cocalho
E acordar na passarada
Sem rádio e sem notícia
Das terras civilizadas
Meu amor não vá s’imbora
Fique mais um bocadinho
Se você for seu nêgo chora
Vamos ficar mais um tiquinho
Quando eu entro numa farra
Não quero sair mais não
Vou até quebra a barra
E pegar o sol com a mão

The Second Time Around
The Second Time Around
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
First performance by: Bing Crosby - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps, that love, like youth
is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home, the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around
