They wanna get a statement for jesus sake
It’s like talking to the wall
He’s incommunicado no comment to make
He’s saying nothing at all
But in the communiqué you know he’s gonna come clean
Think what he say, say what he mean
Maybe on monday he got something to say

Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade
Maybe he could talk about himself
Maybe he could talk about the money that he made
Maybe he’d be saying something else
But in the communiqué you know he’s gonna come clean

And now the rumors are flying
Speculation rising
Say that he’s been trying someone else’s wife
Somebody at the airport
Somebody on the phone
Says he’s at the station and he’s coming on the noon
Then we get the story a serious breeze
And a photograph taken in the hall
You don’t have to worry with the previous release
Right now, he’s saying nothing at all
But in the communiqué you know he’s gonna come clean
Think what he say, say what he mean
Maybe on monday he got something to say

First performance: Renato Rascel - 1960
and multiple other artists
Bambina mia
sono l'ultimo poeta che s'ispira ad una stella
Bambina mia
sono l'ultimo inguaribile malato di poesia
E voglio bene a te
perché sei come me
romantica
Tu sei romantica
amarti e' un po' rivivere
nella semplicità
nell'irrealtà
di un altra età
Tu sei romantica
amica delle nuvole
che cercano lassù
un po' di sol
come fai tu
Tu sei la musica
che ispira l'anima
sei tu il mio angolo
di paradiso per me
Ed io che accanto a te
son ritornato a vivere
a te racconterò
affiderò
i sogni miei
perché romantica
tu sei
Tu sei la musica
che ispira l'anima
sei tu il mio angolo
di paradiso
per me
Tu sei romantica
amica delle nuvole
a te racconterò
affiderò
i sogni miei
perché romantica

The Winner
The Winner
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Bobby Bare
The hulk of a man with a beer in his hand looked like a drunk old fool
And I knew that if I hit him right, I could knock him off that stool
But everybody said, "Watch out, that's Tiger Man McCool
He's had a whole lot of fights, and he always come out the winner"
But I'd had myself about five too many, and I walked up tall and proud
I faced his back and I faced the fact that he'd never stooped or bowed
I said, "Tiger Man, you're a pussycat," and a hush fell on the crowd
I said, "Let's you and me go outside and see who's the winner"
Well, he gripped the bar with one big hairy hand and he braced against the wall
He slowly looked up from his beer, my god, that man was tall
He said, "Boy, I see you're a scrapper, so just before you fall
I'm gonna tell you just a little what a means to be a winner"
He said, "You see these bright white smilin' teeth, you know they ain't my own
Mine rolled away like Chiclets down a street in San Antone
But I left that person cursin', nursin' seven broken bones
And he only broke three of mine, and that make me a winner"
He said, "Behind this grin, I got a steel pin that holds my jaw in place
A trophy of my most successful motorcycle race
And every mornin' when I wake and touch this scar across my face
It reminds me of all I got by bein' a winner
Now my broken back was the dyin' act of handsome Harry Clay
That sticky Cincinnatti night I stole his wife away
But that woman, she gets uglier and meaner every day
But I got her, boy, and that's what makes me a winner
You gotta speak loud when you challenge me, son, 'cause it's hard for me to hear
With this twisted neck and these migraine pains and this cauliflower ear
'N' if it weren't for this glass eye of mine, I'd shed a happy tear
To think of all you'll get by bein' a winner
I got arthritic elbows, boy, I got dislocated knees
From pickin' fights with thunderstorms and chargin' into trees
And my nose's been broke so often, I might lose it if I sneeze
And, son, you say you still wanna be a winner?
My spine is short three vertebrae and my hip is screwed together
My ankles warn me every time there'll be a change in the weather
Guess I kicked too many asses, and when the kicks all get together
They sure can slow you down when you're a winner
My knuckles are so swollen I can hardly make a fist
Who would have thought old Charlie had a blade taped to his wrist
And my blind eye's where he cut me, and my good eye's where he missed
Yeah, you lose a couple of things when you're a winner
My head is just a bunch of clumps and lumps and bumps and scars
From chargin' broken bottles and buttin' crowded bars
And this hernia, well, it only proves a man can't lift a car
But you're expected to do it all when you're a winner
Got a steel plate inside my skull, underneath this store-bought hair
My pelvis is aluminum from takin' ladies' dares
And if you had a magnet, son, you could lift me off my chair
I'm a man of steel, but I'm rustin'....what a winner
I got a perforated ulcer, I got strictures and incisions
My prostate's barely holdin' up from those all-night collisions
And I'll have to fight two of you because of my double vision
You're lookin' sick, son....that ain't right for a winner
Winnin' that last stock-car race cost me my favorite toes
Winnin' that factory foreman's job, it browned and broke my nose
And these haemorrhoids come from winnin' all them goddamn rodeos
Sometimes it's a pain in the butt to be a winner
In the war, I got the Purple Heart, that's why my nerves are gone
And I ruined my liver in drinkin' contests, which I always won
And I should be retired now, rockin' on my lawn
But you losers keep comin' on, makin' me a winner
When I walk, you can hear my pelvis rattle, creak and crack
From my great Olympic hump-off with that nymphomaniac
After which I spent the next six weeks in traction on my back
While whe walked off smilin', leavin' me the winner
Now, as I kick in your family jewels, you'll notice my left leg drags
And this jacket's kinda padded up where my right shoulder sags
And there's a special part of me I keep in this paper bag
And I'll show it to you, if you want to see all of the winner
So I never play the violin and I seldom dance or ski
They say there never was a hero brave and strong as me
But when you're this year's hero, son, you're next year's used-to-be
And that's the facts of life....when you're a winner
Now, you remind me a lot of my younger days, with your knuckles clenchin' white
But, boy, I'm gonna sit right here and sip this beer all night
And if there's somethin' you gotta prove by winnin' some silly fight
Well, OK, I quit, I lose, son, you're the winner"
So I stumbled from that barroom not so tall and not so proud
And behind me I could hear the hoots of laughter from the crowd
But my eyes still see and my nose still works and my teeth are still in my mouth
And y'know, I guess that makes me a winner

Bambina mia
Alle lieder dieser erde
Sind für dich allein geschrieben
Bambina mia
Für uns beide sind die sterne
Sind die märchen noch geblieben
Du bist romantica
Weil dich das wunder dieser welt
In seiner ganzen pracht
Bei tag und nacht gefangen hält
Du bist romantica
Die schönsten träume werden wabr
Und jeder neue tag
Den du mir schenkst
Ist wunderbar
Du siehst den sonnenschein
Der dir vom himmel lacht
Nicht nur bei tag allein
Nein, auch im dunkel der nacht
Du bist romantica
Kein zauber kann so strahlend sein
Und darum sag ich dir
Ich wünsche mir
Mit dir allein
Nur noch romantica zu sein
Du bist romantica
Die schönsten träume werden wahr
Und jeder neue tag
Den du mir schenkst
Ist wunderbar
Du siehst den sonnenschein
Der dir vom himmel lacht
Nicht nur bei tag allein
Nein auch im dunkel der nacht
Du bist romantica
Kein zauber kann so strahlend sein
Und darum sag ich dir
Ich wünsche mir
Mit dir allein
Nur noch romantica
Nur noch romantica
Nur noch romantica zu sein

The Wine Of Youth
The Wine Of Youth
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
While we still hold, the card in our hands
the fleeing treasure, of youth we know
we're living life to its full measure
For the fruit of love is growing
when the wine of youth is flowing
And while we hear life's distant bells still ringing laughter
we're full of hope, we're blessed with joy, we have no care
So let us drink, while life is brimming
with the wine of youth
Time, so swiftly flies, our summer skies soon slip away
Time, so swiftly wings, each parting wings
each chandelles sadness, so timeless
And then in vain, we cup our hands and catch but sorrow
Each drop of time, like falling rain, knows no tomorrow
We can't hold and sip forever from the wine of youth
Before we learn to smile, our smiles are behind us
Before we learn to live, our life has run away
In a momentary sigh, before we understand
we watch it all go by
We'll never know that time, time again
And then in vain, we cup our hands and catch but sorrow
Each drop of time, like falling rain, knows no tomorrow
We can't hold and sip forever from the wine of youth

Communication
Communication
Performer(s): David McCallum
How can we get through to him?
Who am I? Where am I going?
With no time to spare as a man rowing from a shoreless lake
Never slowing the pace, but never spying land
I am as most people, I suppose, lost, not knowing why
But I need to know
(We need your love the whole day through)
(We need your love the whole night too)
(But how can we get through to you)
(Help us to stop, stop feeling blue)
(Communication, yes, yes, communication)
(Please help us get through to you)
I know, I'll go and see what men have done before me, in the past
In case there's one who wrote or drew or painted, perhaps in fun
A moment of his life that gave him pause
Who knows, the answer may lie in the heat of the Sun
( I saw him with Mylene at the movies
I saw him with Pat at the store. Pat's a blond
I'm a blond. Can I get a date with him? Do you
really think I could?)
(We need your love the whole day through)
(We need your love the whole night too)
(But how do we get through to you)
(Help us to stop, stop feeling blue)
(Communication, yes, yes, communication)
I must find myself before it's too late
In life or death, in love or hate
In peace and war, or through the gates of Hell
If that's the way to seek my fate
And then, and only then could you get through to me
And then, if all is well, we'd make a date
But not now, you see I really have to go
So would you girls mind stepping off my motorcycle

Romantica (French Version)
Romantica
Composer(s): Dino Verde; Roger Berthier; Fernand Bonifay
Performer(s): Dalida
and multiple other artists
Tu es étrange, tu n'en laisse rien paraître
Et nul ne peut te connaître
Tu es étrange, jamais tes yeux ne s'enflamment
Mais j'ai deviner ton âme
Tu es romantica, romantique et Bohème
Tu t'en défend parfois
Mais moi je sais, je sais tout ca
Tu es romantica voilà pourquoi je t'aime
Tes yeux sont malheureux
Quand notre ciel paraît moins bleu
Le rire d'un enfant, une fleur au printemps
Le chant d'un feu de bois
Au fond tu n'aimes que ca
Et quand tu viens vers moi
Tu sais rester toi même
De peur qu'on rit tout bas
Tu n'aimes pas montrer tes joies
Car tu veux les garder pour toi
Tu es romantica c'est pour ça que je t'aime
Tu as fait de ma vie un univers de poésie
Es ce là ton secret, mais je le connais
Tout mes rêves sont fait à ton image c'est vrai
Et lorsque je te vois romantique et bohème
Je pense qu'ici bas tous mon bonheur je te le dois
Tu es romantica, tu es romantica, tu es romantica
Pour moi

Romancing The Stone
Romancing The Stone
Composer(s): Eddy Grant
Performer(s): Eddy Grant
(Chorus)
I'm romancing the stone
never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away
Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow
Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole
I have found a love so precious, like an emerald so bold
It's a firelight escaping from the jeweller's hold
(Chorus)
Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow
Through the broken glass, I'll see at last the sweet desire in you
I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon, you
On the mountain roads, in Harlem, feel my jeweller's hold
(Chorus)

Though time passes by, we will never forget

Composer(s): J.C. Fogerty
First release by: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969
Traffic in the city turns my head around
No, no, no, no, no
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church
Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
People keep atalkin', they don't say a word
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door
So much goin' on I just can't hear
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Hurryin' to get there so you save some time
Run, run, run, run, run
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home
Worry 'bout the time you save, save
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone

That I hold you secretly each time we meet
In these forbidden games that I play
Though it's forbidden in dim quiet places
To capture the rainbows my aching heart chases
My bitter sweet esctasy, come to me
In these forbidden games that I play
Everyone knows you belong to another
Spinning your magic for him and no other
Still, I'll be content to be part of this fantasy
Part of this game that I play
Though it's forbidden and you love him now
I'll keep my love hidden and love you forever
Through countless eternity you will be mine
In these forbidden games that I play

If the winds of heaven would only blow the door shut
I could keep you here for a little while
If the winds of heaven would only blow the light out
In the friendly dark, you'd begin to smile
If the winds of heaven would only blow you my way
I would hold you close for a little while
If the winds of heaven would only blow the roof off
You and I would fly half a million miles to a happy star
On the winds of heaven

Ooh, hoo, hoo, oo, hoo, yeah
I have dreamed a dream of every common man
ahh, hoping to rise to the top

That one day
i promised one day your heartache would stop
but I've never, never, never, never changed
I never changed one single grain of sand
ooh, thanks to ya baby (ha-ha)
for just lovin' a common man
I wanna thank you this evening, honey
ooh, I thought, I thought that I failed you so
but that's when you turned around
and looked me in my eyes
and you let me know
you said, and you said it softly
I didn't have to worry about being a common man, you said
David, you don't have to worry about rising to the top
you said, you said, you said I didn't have to swear by my blood
that oh baby, that one day your heartache would stop
then you put your arms around me, and you said
you never, never, never, never cared
if I never changed one single grain of sand
you said, I love you, baby (whoah)
I love you, for just being a common man
all my gratitude, just keep on growing
yeah, for recognizing me
I thank ya baby, yeah
for respecting me, yeah
I wanna thank ya, baby
for everytime we meet, oh
I thank ya, baby, oh

But only my heart obeyed
A flame grew from just a spark

The lights all began to fade
I said to myself keep dancing

A flame grew from just a spark
When I found romance in the dark with you

The Wind That Shakes The Corn
The Wind That Shakes The Corn
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I sat within the valley green I sat with my true love
My sad heart had to choose between Old Ireland and my love
I looked at her and then I thought how Ireland was torn
While soft the wind blew down the glen and shook the golden corn
t'was hard the woeful words to bring to break the ties that bound
But harder still to bear the shame of English chains around
And so I said, the mountain glen I'll seek in early morn
And join the brave united men while soft winds shook the corn
While sad I kissed away her tears my fond arms round her clung
A British shot burst in our ears from out of the wild woods round
One bullet pierced my true love's side a rose pierced by a thorn
And in my arms in blood she died while soft winds shook the corn
So blood for blood without remorse I've taken in the glen
I placed my true love's clayful corpse I joined true Irish men
But around her grave I wander drear sometimes in early morn
And with breaking heart sometimes I hear the wind that shakes the corn
