Natten drog forbi med tændte kerter svøbte sig som fløjl om unge hjerter Spandt sin melodi til vårens poesi Fremmed for dig selv kom du imod mig hjertet havde talt og jeg forstod dig skæbnen fandt sin vej ad nattens dunkle sti fremmed brød den ind i mene tanker

On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing The world should have ended right then and there At precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing The world should have ended How could it go on? How could it go on? How could it go on?
Oh and I don't exist I don't exist [repeats]
So now that we've got that straight Doesn't mean that I can fly Doesn't mean I that I can go do whatever I want Now that we've got that clear And you know that I'm not here Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please
The premature ejaculation of his death (sentence) hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball hwk-pfffff And everything got hazy in the courtroom and then he stood up And then he sat back down another two times in the row And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies And he remembered heroin boy walking in through the door Bouncing off the walls and the floor Taking off his belt taking off his pants Filling up the bathtub Getting ready to go in for a swim Singing I don't exist I don't exist [repeats]
And now that we've got that straight Doesn't mean that I can fly Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want Now that we've got that clear And you know that I'm not here Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please And you start remembering and remembering and remembering And remembering...
The heroin boy, he walked through the door And he was screaming And I was like 'why's you screaming like it's the end of the world?' And he was like 'well it is' And I was sitting in the corner with my pants down And I was sure that someone next door was blowing up balloons And it was red and orange
And there was that swell lady at the bar just tryin to buy gin And there was this other lady at the bar and she was tryin to sell gin It worked out good for the boths of them
And heroin boy started taking off his belt Started taking off his pants Started taking off his shoes Started filling up the bathtub Getting ready to go in for a swim I says "No-o You're goin to drown He says 'No I can't drown Simply because...
Shhhhhhh
A man destined to hang Can never drown A man destined to hang Can never drown A man destined to hang Can never ever drown
A man destined to drown Can never burn A man destined to drown Can never burn A man destined to drown Can never ever burn
A man destined to fry Can never ever ever A man destined to fry Can never ever ever A man destined to fry Can never ever ever die... In any other way but frying Lucky that I'm dying By hanging and not drowning
So now that we've got that straight Can't I just be left alone? I want to take a ***** bath
Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha Composer(s): Barbara Campbell - Barbara Mayson Campbell - Sam Cooke Performer(s): Sam Cooke and multiple other artists
Little Frankie went down to the barroom, she asked for a glass of beer She said, "Hey, bartender, has my Johnny been here?" "He's my man but he's done me wrong"
The bartender said "Frankie, ya know I won't tell ya no lie" "He left here about a minute ago with a gal named Alice Fry" "He's your man, but he's doin' you wrong"
Frankie was a good little woman, surely everybody knows She paid one hundred dollars for Johnny's new suit of clothes She loved her man but he done her wrong
Well then Frankie went down Broadway with a razor in her hand She said "Stand back, all you women, I'm here for my cheatin' man" "Yes, he's my man but he's done me wrong"
It was on a Friday mornin' about a ha'past nine o'clock Frankie pulled her 44 and fired three fatal shots She shot her man 'cause he done her wrong
(Why dontcha run, Frankie?) they said (Frankie why don't you run?) 'cause here come the Chief Of Police with the 44 smokeless gun You killed your man, we know he done you wrong
Yeah, he done you wrong, Frankie You shoulda shot him forty times I'm a witness, Frankie, I was there When you shot that man I saw...
Eenzaam loopt hij langs de wijde zee Dromend van Mary-Ann Eeuwig lijkt de tijd te duren Eer hij weer bij haar kan
Breed zakt de nacht als een donkere wolk Met schuimende wieken in zee Maar hij blijft wachten Zingend de naam van z'n Mary-Ann bij de zee
Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann
Meeuwen glijden in de wind En verdwijnen ver over zee Dragen zij z'n Mary-Ann Als een vluchtende droom met zich mee
Zij was zo mooi, zij had haren van goud En van schilferend zonlicht een kleed Zoekende loopt hij hier langs het strand Naar een meisje dat Mary-Ann heet
Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann
Eenzaam loopt hij langs de wijde zee Zonder z'n Mary-Ann Dromend dat zij wederkeren zou Zoals z'n droom herkend
Haren van goud en een mond als koraal Rode sterren die groeien in zee Maar in de nacht als een donkere vogel Roept hij zijn Mary-Ann bij de zee
Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann Mary Mary-Ann

We hebben samen 'n heerlijk weekend doorgebracht We dansten en we lachten tot laat in de nacht Op zondagavond weegt het hart een beetje zwaar Als twee verliefden moeten scheiden van elkaar Ik weet waarom je zucht en ongelukkig bent Omdat je vol bezorgdheid reeds aan morgen denkt Niets is zo droevig als een maandag, maar ach kom Niet overdrijven, want een weekje is zo om
refrein: Het kan niet alle dagen feest- en zondag zijn Eens breekt de tijd weer aan Om aan de slag te gaan Maar waar liefde is Is altijd zonneschijn Je moet het leven maar verstaan Het kan niet alle dagen feest- en zondag zijn Eens breekt de tijd weer aan Om aan de slag te gaan Maar waar liefde is Is altijd zonneschijn Je moet het leven maar verstaan Ja ja de mensen zeggen: "Alles draait alleen nog maar om geld" Maar voor mij is er niets Dat meer dan liefde telt Met liefde in mijn hart Al is er niemand om me heen Voel ik me nooit alleen
Ik hou van jou Dat weet je sinds die eerste dag En ik verander nooit Wat ook gebeuren mag Denk maar alleen Aan al wat ik je heb beloofd En zet die droevige gedachten uit je hoofd Wees niet ontmoedigd Ook al doet het scheiden pijn Dit is geen reden Om zo droef gezind te zijn 't Geluk wordt niemand op een gouden schaal bediend Het lacht je enkel toe Nadat je 't hebt verdiend
refrein
Ja ja de mensen zeggen: "Alles draait alleen nog maar om geld" Maar voor mij is er niets Dat meer dan liefde telt Met liefde in mijn hart Al is er niemand om me heen Voel ik me nooit alleen Hey

Hang down your head Tom Dooley Hang down your head and cry Hang down your head Tom Dooley Poor boy you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain There I took her life I met her on the mountain Stabbed her with a knife
Hang down your head Tom Dooley Hang down your head and cry Hang down your head Tom Dooley Poor boy you're bound to die
This time tomorrow Reckon where I'll be If it hadn't of been for Grayson I'd have been in Tennessee
Hang down your head Tom Dooley Hang down your head and cry Hang down your head Tom Dooley Poor boy you're bound to die
This time tomorrow Reckon where I'll be Down in some lonesome canyon Hanging from a wide oak tree
Hang down your head Tom Dooley Hang down your head and cry Hang down your head Tom Dooley Poor boy you're bound to die
Tom Cat Blues Composer(s): Jelly Roll Morton Performer(s): Freddie Spruell and multiple other artists
It was late las' night, I tried so hard to sleep It was late las' night and I tried so hard to sleep When a mean old tom cat started on his midnight creep
Tomcats in my window, tomcats all around my door Tomcats in my window, tomcats all around my door Never heard so much moanin' and whinin' all my life before
I don't trust no tomcat, he got such an evil eye I don't trust no tomcat. got such an evil eye He's a' sneakin' and mistreatin', doubt it if that ain't no lie
A tomcat man is tryin' to break up my home A tomcat man is tryin' to break up my home That's why it makes me mad when I hear a tomcat moan
Oh Mr Tomcat, get some pussy of your own Mr Tomcat, get some pussy of your own Or you will lose your nine lives if you don't let my be
Tom Bombadil Composer(s): Giuseppe Festa Performer(s): Giuseppe Festa
Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow None has ever caught him yet, 'cause he's the Master His songs are stronger songs and his feet are faster
Down along under the hill, shining in the bright sunshine Swiftly my steps are taking me home, waiting for the cold starlight There my pretty lady is, river-woman's daughtar Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water
Hop along up the Withywindle! Tom's going on ahead candles for to kindle Down West sinks the Sun, soon you will be groping When the night-shadows fall, then the door will open Out of the window-panes light will twinkle yellow Fear no alder black! Heed no hoary willow! Fear neither root nor bough! Tom goes on before you Hey now! Hurry up! We'll be waiting for you
Toledo, mujer española con ojos de acero que el cielo besó princesa que el Tajo bañara, boca que besara la lumbre del sol Orgullo de nueva Castilla, flor de maravilla que envuelve un mantón puñal que tus ojos clavaron en medio de mi corazón
Toledo, lentejuela del mundo eres tú que adorna un soberbio capote de luz España sabe que eres la brava mujer que hiere, hiere con su querer
Toledo, la tizona tus letras grabó fundiendo en una hoja nobleza y valor Acero de unos ojos que saben mirar y matan como mata un puñal
Tokyo Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn
They're getting prepared to haul a car out of the river Noise and smoke and concrete seem to be going on forever Grinding gears and drivers getting high on exhaust I'm thinking about the water down below and what got lost
Pachinko jingle and space torpedo beams Comic book violence and escaping steam Grey suited business men pissing against the wall Cut to crumbling guardrail, slow motions car fall
Oh Tokyo -- I never can sleep in your arms Mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm Me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup Did you have to show me that accident scene Didn't I get enough shaking up? Still I'm gonna miss you...
Dragon of good fortune struggles with trickster fox Energy and patience and the power of the buck Tonight I'm flying headlong To meet the dark red edge of dawn I know somebody will be crying And somebody will be gone
Oh Tokyo -- I never can sleep in your arms Mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm Me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup Did you have to show me that accident scene Didn't I get enough shaking up? Still I'm gonna miss you...
