Anno 1982

Living on free-food tickets. Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through. What can you do, mmm? Tears from your little sister, Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch For the party to go. But you know She'll get by. 'Cause she's living in the love of the common people, Smile's from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya). Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to; Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold) And she can. It's a good thing you don't have busfare (it's a good thing); It would fall through (ouch) the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it In the snow on the ground (ow, ah ah ya). You gotta walk into town To find a job (what's it now). Tryin' to keep your hands warm (it's so cold) When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through And chill you to the bone (brrr cha). Somehow you'd better go home, where it's warm, Where you can live in a love of the common people, Smile's from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya). Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to; Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold) And she can. Living on a dream ain't easy, But the closer the knit, The tighter the fit (the closer the knit), And the chills stay away (ow, ah ah ya) -- Just take 'em in stride for family pride. You know that faith is your foundation (ooh now, ooh now, ooh now), With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation, But don't forget to pray (forget to pray). Just making it strong where you belong. And we're living in the love of the common people, Smile's from the heart of a family man (what's it now). Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to; Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold). And she can.

I can wait another day until I call you Youve only got my heart on a string and everything a flutter But another lonley night (and another, and another) Might take forever(and another, and another) Weve only got each other to blame Its all the same to me love cause I know what I feel to be right No more lonely nights No more lonely nights Youre my guiding light Day or night Im always there May I never miss the thrill of being near you And if it takes a couple of years To turn your tears to laughter I will do what I feel to be right No more lonely nights Never be another No more lonely nights Youre my guiding light Day or night Im always there And I wont go away until you tell me so No Ill never go away Yes I know what I feel to be right No more lonely nights Never be another No more lonely nights Youre my guiding light Day or night Im always there And I wont go away until you tell me so No Ill never go away I wont go away until you tell me so No Ill never go away No more lonely nights, no no ...

Super! Fantastico! Spaziale!! Che roba ragazziiiii.....

Fa proprio venire voglia di ballare, vero?

Darling, I love you very, very, very much, And I really am relying on your touch. But with all this people listening in, I don't know where I ought to begin. Maybe we could hit upon a word, Something that the others haven't heard, When you want me to love you, Just tell me to press. Right there, that's it. Yes. When you feel the stress, Don't just stand there, tell me to press. You can give me what I want I must confess, My body needs attention my mind is in a mess, Oklahoma was never like this. Never like this, it was never like this, Ever like this, say was it ever like this? Oklahoma was never like this. It was never like this... Darling, I know it really wouldn't be a crime, If I say I want to love you all the time. But with all these people listening in, I don't know where I ought to begin. Maybe we should have a secret code, Before we both get ready to explode. When you want me to love you, Just tell me to press. Press...

Say, say, say what you want but don't play games with my affection Take, take, take what you need but don't leave me with no direction All alone I sit home by the phone waiting for you baby (baby) Through the years how can you stand to hear my pleading for you dear? You know I'm cryin', ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Yeah Now go, go, go where you want but don't leave me here forever You, you, you stay away so long, girl, I see you never What can I do, girl, to get through to you 'Cause I love you baby (baby) Standing here baptised in all my tears, baby through the years You know I'm cryin', ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh You never ever worry and you never shed a tear You're sayin' that my love ain't real Just look at my face, these tears ain't dryin' You, you, you can never say that I'm not the one who really loves you I pray, pray, pray every day that you'll see things, girl, like I do What can I do, girl, to get through to you 'Cause I love you (love you) baby (baby) Standing here baptised in all my tears, baby through the years You know I'm cryin', ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Un cartone che amavo per la sua affascinante storia, i suoi personaggi e la grande fantasia.

For all your troubled sweetnesses, your troubles will be healed Close your eyes, close your eyes Let me rise, let me rise I see you in a dress of blue, a question in your hand I see you in your attitude of sorrow and demand, oh Close your eyes, close your eyes Let me take you back to wonderland I will take you back to wonderland Are your eyes so tired of searching, that they can’t see love Is your heart so full of locks and keys that it can’t open up? Through all the things that have to be, we often have to cry Beneath the weight of gravity, we stumble then we fly Hold my hand, hold my hand Let me take you back to wonderland I will take you back to wonderland
