Joe Cocker, le più belle e famose canzoni: da You can leave your hat on a Up Where We Belong [testi e video]

La notizia della morte di Joe Cocker è arrivata poche ore fa. Il cantante si è spento a 70 anni, nella sua abitazione in Colorado, probabilmente a causa di un cancro ai polmoni. La sua voce potente e unica lo ha reso famoso nel corso degli anni con brani diventati classici senza tempo. Il più famoso -e conosciuto- è la celebre You Can Leave Your Hat On, colonna sonora del film “9 settimane e mezzo” con Kim Basinger e Mickey Rourke, legato all’immaginario della scena striptease. Ma sono diversi i pezzi celebri e da ricordare. Vogliamo provare a farlo in questo post, con una serie di pezzi, i più rappresentativi della sua carriera.

You Can Leave Your Hat On

Baby take off your coat
Real slow
Take off your shoes
I’ll take off your shoes
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go over there, turn on the lights
All the lights
Come back here, stand on that chair
Get up woman, that’s right
Raise your arms up in the air
And now shake ‘em

You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live

Sweet darling
(You can leave your hat on)
Just leave your hat on, girl
A little wild man
(You can leave your hat on)
Leave your hat on
(You can leave your hat on)
(You can leave your hat on)

Suspicious minds are talkin’
They’re tryin’ to tear us apart
They don’t believe in this love of mine
They don’t know what love is

They don’t know what love is
They don’t know what love is
They don’t know what love is
I know what love is

And baby, put it my way
(You can leave your hat on)
And just leave your hat on now
They don’t wanna
(You can leave your hat on)
Won’t you do that for me, babe?
(You can leave your hat on)
And just leave your hat on, girl
(You can leave your hat on)

Up Where We Belong

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive?
All I know is the way I feel
When it’s real, I keep it alive

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high

Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to, ‘used to be’
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high

Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear wind blows

Time goes by, no time to cry
Life’s you and I, a life today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high

Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart baby let me be
Cause you don’t care please set me free

Unchain my heart
Baby let me go
Unchain my heart
Cause you don’t love me no more
Every time I call you on the phone
Some fella tells me your not at home
Unchain my heart set me free

Unchain my heart
Baby let me be
Unchain my heart
Cause you don’t care about me
You got me sewed up like a pillow case
But you let my love go to waste
Unchain my heart set me free

I’m under your spell
Like a man in a trance
You know darn well that I don’t stand a chance
Unchain my heart let me go my way
Unchain my heart you worry me night and day
I live a life of misery
And you don’t care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart set me free

Solo

I’m under your spell
Like a man in a trance
You know darn well that I don’t stand a chance
Unchain my heart let me go my way
Unchain my heart you worry me night and day
I live a life of misery
And you don’t care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart set me free

When the night comes

Hold on
I’ll be back for you
It won’t be long
But for now there’s something else
That’s calling me
So take me down a lonesome road
Point me east and let me go
That suitcase weighs me down
With memories

I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let’s put all the cares behind us
And go where they’ll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes

Two spirits in the night
That can leave before the morning light
When there’s nothing left to lose
And nothing left to fear
So meet me on the edge of town
Won’t keep you waiting I’ll be ‘round
Then you and I
We’ll just roll right out of here

I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let’s put all the cares behind us
And go where they’ll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes

I know there’ll be a time for you and I
Just take my hand and run away
Think of all the pieces of the shattered dream
We’re gonna make it out some day
We’ll be coming back
Coming back to stay
When the night comes

I wanna be the one you run to
When the night comes
To be the one you’d come to
I wanna be the one you run to
Ooh
I just wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let’s put all the cares behind us
And go where they’ll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night rolls down
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be with you
Ah ah when the night comes
Oh ah when the night comes in
Ah ah oh
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be right by your side
Ah ah when the night comes
Yes baby
Ah ah oh
Don’t do that to me woman
Ah ah oh
Ever stayed when the night time gets in here
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna rise and up in the
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
Ah ah oh
Love me

You are so beatiful

You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can’t you see

You’re everything I hope for
You’re everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful
To me
Can’t you see
You’re everything I hope for
You’re every, everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

My father’s son

Heart Over Mind, Yes I’M
My Father’S Son
I Live My Life, Just Like
My Father’S Done
If He’D Told Me, One Day
That Somebody’D Have My Heart In Chains
Would I Believe It, No Way
Made Up My Mind I’D Never Fall That Way

But Tell Me Why
Everytime I Try, To Tell You It’S Goodbye
I Can’T Seem To Let Go
In My Heart I Know I Want To Stay
What I’M Trying To Say

Heart Over Mind
Yes I’M My Father’S Son
Yes I’M Inclined To Do
As My Fathers Done

Here I Am With You
And I Know That It’S True
Despite All The Feelings
Your Putting Me Through
I Try To Alk Away, Something Makes Me Stay

Heart Over Mind, Yes I’M
My Father’S Son
I Live My Life, Just Like
My Father’S Done
But Tell Me Why
Everytime I Try, To Tell You It’S Goodbye
I Can’T Seem To Let Go
In My Heart, I Know I Want To Stay, Never Run Away

My Father’S Son
I Live My Life, As My Father’S Done
If He’D Told Me, One Day
That Somebody Would Have My Heart In
Chains Would I Believe It, No Way
Made Up My Mind, I’D Never Fall That Way
But It’S Heart Over Mind, Yes I’M My Father’S Son
