Neem Me Toch Mee ((Adapted from: Emmenez-Moi (Charles Aznavour) - 1973)) ((English Version: Take Me Along (Charles Aznavour) - 1978)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Johan Verminnen Performer(s): Bart Kaëll - 1998
In het dok waar de verveling weegt op mijn bestaan Komen schepen, hun ruimen gevuld met vruchten en graan Hun namen doen me altijd dromen over plaatsen waar ik nooit zal komen Zo heel mooi, zo heel ver Waar de zomers eeuwig duren, waar het zand je huid zal schuren Zo heel ruw, zo ver weg
Ik ken enkel een hemel vol wolken zo grijs Hier eindigt m'n wereld, ik ging nooit op reis
Neem me toch mee naar het land van de zon Zeg nu niet nee, maar zeg me nu 'kom' Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
In de kroeg maken de zeelui altijd plezier In een dronken bui roepen zij 'breng ons meer bier' En dan grijpen ze hun kans, ja de poppen gaan aan het dansen Want ze zijn nu op zwier En ze drinken nog veel meer, zo veel meer dan die andere keer Het wordt vroeg, nooit genoeg
Als de kroeg dan sluit en ze duiken in hun kajuit Dan benijd ik hen en ik neem dan een besluit
Neem me toch mee naar het land van de zon Zeg nu niet nee, maar zeg me nu 'kom' Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
Op een dag een sloep zo verroest, een heel ouwe schuit Met een motor die hoest maar toch vaar ik het zeegat uit En dan vaar ik naar die hete stranden van die verre mooie warme landen Weg van hier, met plezier Waar de zon m'n bleke huid zal branden en m'n ouwe schuit voorgoed mag stranden Ver van hier, met plezier
Ik verdwijn uit jouw zicht zonder spijt en voor altijd Want ik stuur geen bericht en mij ben je nu kwijt
Neem me toch mee naar het land van de zon Zeg nu niet nee, maar zeg me nu 'kom' Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
Neem me toch mee naar het land van de zon Zeg nu niet nee, maar zeg me nu 'kom' Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
Lalala... Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
Mother Of Pearl Composer(s): Brian Ferry Performer(s): Roxy Music
Turn the lights down Way down low Turn up the music Hi as fi can go All the gang´s here Everyone you know It´s a crazy scene Hey there just look over your shoulder
Get the picture? No no no no .......(Yes) Walk a tightrope Your life-sign-line Such a bright hope Right place, right time What´s your number? Never you mind Take a powder But hang on a minute what´s coming round the corner? Have you a future? No no no no .......(Yes) Well I´ve been up all night again Party-time wasting is too much fun Then I step back thinking Of life´s inner meaning And my latest fling It´s the same old story All love and glory It´s a pantomime If you're looking for love In a looking glass world It's pretty hard to find Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't trade you For another girl Divine intervention Always my intention So I take my time I´ve been looking for something I've always wanted But was never mine But now I've seen that something Just out of reach - glowing - Very Holy grail Oh mother of pearl Lustrous lady Of a sacred world Thus: even Zarathustra Another-time-loser Could believe in you With every goddess a let down Every idol a bring down It gets you down But the search for perfection Your own predilection Goes on and on and on and on Canadian Club love A place in the Country Everyone's ideal But you are my favorita And a place in your heart dear Makes me feel more real Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't change you For the whole world You're highbrow, holy With lots of soul Melancholy shimmering Serpentine sleekness Was always my weakness Like a simple tune But no dilettante Filigree fancy Beats the plastic you Career girl cover Exposed and another Slips right into-view Oh looking for love In a looking glass world Is pretty hard for you Few throwaway kisses The boomerang misses Spin round and round Fall on featherbed quilted Faced with silk Softly stuffed eider down Take refuge in pleasure Just give me your future We'll forget your past Oh mother of pearl Submarine lover In a shrinking world Oh lonely dreamer Your choker provokes A picture cameo Oh mother of pearl So so semi-precious In your detached world Oh mother of pearl I wouldn´t trade you For another girl

Yellow red black or white add a little bit of moonlight For this intercontinental romance Shy girl sexy girl they all like that fancy world Champagne a gentle song and a slow dance Who makes it fun to spend your money
Who calls you honey most every day Girls Girls Girls - Girls Girls Girls Well they made 'em up in Hollywood and put them into the movie Those lovely photographic splendours In and out of magazines Miss World and beauty queens Falling in love with the real big spenders But although their world may be frantic They're still romantic in their own way
So hop on the world is swinging Don't sit and twiddle your thumbs Get up and meet those pretty Girls Girls Girls Step on the world keeps swinging. Put on the dazzling charm. Get up and find those pretty girls But don't rush keep it nice and gentle And sentimental for that certain moment
Moonlit oceans girls full of emotions Stepping on that slow boat to China And next door in Japan they know how to please a man Dropping in for tea with my geisha They've got that old-fashioned feeling When it comes to pleasing they know their way
So hop on the world is swinging
When you draw back the curtain Hop on the world is swinging Don't sit and twiddle your thumbs Get up and meet those pretty girls
Take It To The Limit ((Dutch Version: Jij Maakt Mij Gelukkig (Severine Doré) - 2003)) Composer(s): Randy Meisner - Glenn Frey - Don Henley First release by: Eagles - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
All alone at the end of the evening And the bright lights have faded to blue I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have loved me I never knew You know i've always been a dreamer spent my life running round And it's so hard to change can't seem to settle down But the dreams i've seen lately keep on turning out And burning out and turning out the same So put me on a highway and show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time
You can spend all your time making money You can spend all your love making time If it all fell to pieces tomorrow Would you still be mine? And when you're looking for your freedom nobody seems to care And you can't find the door can't find it anywhere When there's nothing to believe in still you're coming back You're running back, you're coming back for more
So put me on a highway and show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time ...

Take It On The Run Composer(s): Gary Richrath First release by: REO Speedwagon - 1980
Heard it from a friend who Heard it from a friend who Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boy friend You're up there every weekend They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
But I know the nieghborhood And talk is cheap when the story is good And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe That I don't think it's true, babe And even if it is keep this in mind
You take it on the run baby If that's the way you want it baby Then I don't want you around I don't believe it Not for a minute You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You're thinking up your white lies You're putting on your bedroom eyes You say you're coming home but you won't say when
But I can feel it coming If you leave tonight keep running And you need never look back again
You take it on the run baby If that's the way you want it baby Then I don't want you around I don't believe it Not for a minute You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You take it on the run baby If that's the way you want it baby Then I don't want you around I don't believe it Not for a minute You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You take it on the run baby If that's the way you want it baby Then I don't want you around I don't believe it Not for a minute You're under the gun so you take it on the run

Mother Nature And Father Time Composer(s): Kay Twomey; Fred Wise; Ben Wiseman Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Dickie Valentine
I'm a son of mother nature A son of father time I've got a lot of neighbours the million stars that shine And there all friends of mine
Every robin is my brother They sing their songs to me The tiny black-eyed daisies The mighty red wood tree There all my family
Then why do I feel so lonely Like a king on an empty throne There's one thing that's missing only A true love to call my own
Won't you listen mother nature And listen father time Please help me to find someone To fill these arms of mine Mother nature and father time
Then why do I feel so lonely Like a king on an empty throne There's one thing that's missing only A true love to call my own
Won't you listen mother nature And listen father time Please help me to find someone To fill these arms of mine Mother nature and father time Mother nature and father time
Girls Were Made To Love And Kiss Composer(s): Franz Lehár; Victor Herbert Performer(s): Richard Tauber; and various other artists
Girls were made to love and kiss And who am I to interfere with this? Is it well? Who can tell? But I know the good Lord made it so
Am I ashamed to follow natures way? Shall I be blamed if God has made me gay? Does it pay? Who can say? Im a man and kiss her when I can
Yet I have suffered in loves great deeps I know the passion that never sleeps I know the longing and wronging of hearts The hope that flatters and shatters and smarts
I suffer still but I sleep at nights Man cannot always be on the heights And when our aching and breaking is done Flirting is jolly, its folly, but fun
Girls were made to love and kiss And who am I to interfere with this? Does it pay? Who can say? Im a man and kiss her when I can
Take It Like A Man Composer(s): Blair Thornton - C.F. Turner Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive; BTO Spider
Only three stops To make in Alabama Everyone A one-night stand Working for a man Down South Louisiana Cause ZZ ain't His only band Business has been Good or bad But sittin here Will drive me mad
And I'm gonna get back Where they want me Get back Where they want me Get back Where they want me Make a stand I'm gonna Take it like a man
Met a stray woman I think it was in Texas She was made For those who'd pay Got a little drunk And raised a mild ruckus The city said I could not stay I guess I'm gonna Have to change Until this mess is Rearranged
And I'm gonna get back Where they want me Get back Where they want me Get back Where they want me Make a stand I'm gonna Take it like a man
I guess I'm gonna Have to change Until my life is Rearranged
And I'm gonna get back Where they want me Get back Where they want me Get back Where they want me Make a stand I'm gonna Take it like a man
Mother Dear, O Pray For Me (Traditional) Performer(s): Perry Como and various other artists
Mother dear, O pray for me! Whilst far from heav'n and thee I wander in a fragile bark O'er life's tempestuous sea O Virgin Mother, from thy throne So bright in bliss above Protect thy child and cheer my path With thy sweet smile of love
Mother dear, O pray for me! Should pleasure's siren lay E'er tempt thy child to wander far From Virtue's path away When thorns beset life's devious way And darkling waters flow Then Mary aid thy weeping child Thyself a mother show
Chorus
Mother dear, remember me! And never cease thy care 'Till in heaven eternally Thy love and bliss I share
Girls Talk Composer(s): Elvis Costello Performer(s): Dave Edmunds; and various other artists
There are some things you can't cover up With lipstick and powder Thought I heard you mention my name Can't you talk any louder?
Don't come any closer Don't come any nearer My vision of you Can't come any clearer Oh I just wanna hear girls talk
Got a loaded imagination Bein' fired by girls talk It's a more or less situation Inspired by girls talk
But I can't say The words you wanna hear I suppose you're gonna have to Play it by ear, right here
And now, girls talk And they wanna know how girls talk And they say it's not allowed, girls talk If they say that it's so Don't they think that I'd know by now?
Got the word up on everyone's lipstick That you're getting faded You may not be an old-fashioned girl But you're gonna get dated
"Was it really murder?" "Were you just pretending?" "Lately I've heard..." "You are the living end"
Girls talk And they wanna know how girls talk And they say it's not allowed, girls talk And they think they know how girls talk If they say that it's so Don't they think that I'd now by now?
But I can't say The words you wanna hear I suppose you're gonna have to Play it by ear, I hear
There are some things you can't cover up With lipstick and powder But I heard you mention my name Can't you talk any louder?
Don't come any closer Don't come any nearer My vision of you Can't come any clearer

Mother Dear Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr. Performer(s): The Supremes
Something's on my mind Mother dear the boy keeps me crying Don't know which way to turn Keeps me so confused Keeps me so confused
Mother dear 'Cause for him I yearn But he treats your daughter bad Keeps your daughter sad
I wish I didn't love him so 'Cause now I can't let him go His kiss gets a little sweeter Ooh, my heart gets a little weaker
I'm falling deeper Deeper in love each day I know he's no good for me But I'm too weak to break away
Ooh, each day love gets a little stronger Ooh, heartaches lasts a little longer
Help, help me mother dear 'Cause I can't help myself Ooh, he treats your daughter bad Keeps your daughter sad
So many times I've tried Telling him we're through But when he takes me in his arms There's nothing I can do
Ooh, it's no use I can't break loose I keep love him more and more each passing day All my love to him I give it Without him around I couldn't live I need him so And he knows it Can't let him go And I show it
Help, help me mother dear I'm so in love with him But he treats your daughter bad Keeps your daughter sad
Help, help me mother dear Help, help me mother dear He keeps your daughter crying
Take It Back Composer(s): Kristy Jackson Performer(s): Reba McEntire; Kristy Jackson; Mark Thornton
You talked me into moving in and giving you my key You said you'd be a mess now if it hadn't been for me You said I stole your heart away by looking in your eyes I wonder now how many times you sold that pack of lies
If this is how you act when you give your heart away Well, take it back Take it back
You told me I was everything you wanted and more Then tell me what you're doing now sneaking out the back door You're bringing home flowers and a bottle of Chablis You forgot I don't drink wine I know that bottle's not for me
If this is how you act when you give your heart away Well, take it back Take it back
Oh, you must think I'm blind And I don't smell your new cologne You don't think I notice All the nights I spend alone
Well, I'm not one for sitting 'round in some ole pity pool You think you got a ticket and I must be some kind of fool I hate to steal your thunder but your playing days are through At least they are with me cause babe, I got no use for you
Tonight laying on the street Babe, your bag is packed So, take it back
Girls On Film Composer(s): Christian Lebon; Nick Rhodes; John Taylor Performer(s): Duran Duran; and various other artists
See them walking hand in hand
across the bridge at midnight Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright Then walk right out to the fourline track There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine Girls on film, girls on film, girls on film, girls on film
Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling In miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies The diving man's coming up for air cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair And she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under again
Girls on film (two minutes later), girls on film Girls on film (got your picture), girls on film
Wider baby smiling you just made a million Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire Take one last glimpse into the night I'm touching close I'm holding bright, holding tight Give me shudders in a whisper take me up till I'm shooting a star
Girls on film (she's more than a lady), girls on film Girls on film (two minutes later), girls on film Girls on film (see you together), girls on film Girls on film (see you later), girls on film Girls on film (what ya doing), girls on film
Take It Back Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Pete Brown First release by: Cream - 1967
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here
Don't let them take me to where streams are red I want to stay here and sleep in my own bed Need all your loving, long blonde hair Don't let them take me 'cause I'm easily scared Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here
I got this great need, the need to stay alive Not ashamed of my creed, I've got to survive So come on baby, don't go away Just let them save me for a rainy day Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here

Mother And Child Reunion Composer(s): Paul Simon Originally performed by: Paul Simon Covered by various other artists
No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine I can't for the life of me Remember a sadder day I know they say let it be But it just don't work out that way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again
No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine
I just can't believe it's so and though it seems strange to say I never been laid so low In such a mysterious way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again
But I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day When the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, Oh, oh the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reu-nion Is only a moment away
