I can't disguise the pounding of my heart It beats so strong It's in your eyes what can I say They turn me on

Don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with u
I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion I don't care if we spend the night on the town All I want is 2 spend the night together All I want is 2 spend the night in your arms
To be around u is so-oh right You're sheer perfection (thank u) Drive me crazy, drive me all night Just don't break up the connection
I don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with u

Just take me with u Oh won't u take me with u Honey take me with u
Mourir Au Soleil Dutch Title: Sterven In De Zon Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Originally performed by: Jean Ferrat Covered by: Herman van Veen
Je voudrais mourir debout, dans un champ, au soleil Non dans un lit aux draps froissés A l'ombre close des volets Par où ne vient plus une abeille Une abeille ...
Je voudrais mourir debout, dans un bois, au soleil Sans entendre tout doucement La porte et le chuchotement Sans objet des femmes et des vieilles Et des vieilles ...
Je voudrais mourir debout, n'importe où, au soleil Tu ne serais pas là j'aurais Ta main que je pourrais serrer La bouche pleine de groseilles De groseilles ...
Take Me To Your Heart Again Performer(s): Gracie Fields
Take me to your heart again Lets make a start again Forgiving and forgetting Take me to your heart again And leave behind from then Our life of long regretting Dearest, lets turn back the years Let smiles come after tears Like sunshine after rain Im yearning for you by night and by day Praying Ill soon hear you saying I love you Then, well never part again If you will take me to your heart again
Dearest, lets turn back the years Let smiles come after tears Like sunshine after rain Im yearning for you by night and by day Praying Ill soon hear you saying I love you Then, well never part again If you will take me to your heart again

Mourir à Harlem Mourir à Harlem Blotti au fond d'une ruelle Où les chiens n'ont jamais sommeil Où les enfants crèvent de haine À Harlem À Harlem Mourir à Harlem Mourir à Harlem Dans un paradis d'héroïne Planté devant une vitrine Qui ressemblerait à l'exil À Harlem À Harlem
Mourir à Harlem Mourir à Harlem D'avoir voulu chauffer ses ailes Au soleil De Harlem De Harlem
Mourir à Harlem Mourir à Harlem Au paradis des privilèges Où l'on assassinait les nègres Quand les Blancs exauçaient leurs rêves À Harlem À Harlem Mourir à Harlem Mourir à Harlem D'avoir trop voulu croire au ciel Que les Blancs peignaient arc-en-ciel Avant de quitter le soleil De Harlem De Harlem
Mourir à Harlem Mourir à Harlem Avec au fond du coeur ce blues Noir et rouge De Harlem

Mountain Of Love
((French Version: Les Monts Près Du Ciel (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1965))
Composer(s): Harold Dorman
First release by: Harold Dorman - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Standing on a mountain looking down on a city The way I feel is a doggone pity Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside Many times I've been here, many times I've cried We used to be so happy when we were in love High on a mountain of love
Night after night I'm a-standing here alone Weepin' my heart out till cold gray dawn Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too Hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you Tryin' hard to find you, somewhere up above High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed We used to be a mountain of love But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers Wedding bells are ringin' and they shoulda been ours That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed We used to be a mountain of love But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers Wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours That's why I'm so lonely My dreams gone above High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love High on a mountain of love High on a mountain of love

I don't know why I love her like I do All the changes you put me through Take my money, my cigarettes I haven't seen the worst of it yet I wanna know that you'll tell me I love to stay Take me to the river, drop me in the water Take me to the river, dip me in the water Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why you treat me so bad Think of all the things we could have had Love is an ocean that I can't forget My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I wanna know that you'll tell me I love to stay Take me to the river, drop me in the water Push me in the river, dip me in the water Washing me down, washing me
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me Till I can't, till I can't, till I can't take no more of it Take me to the water, drop me in the river Push me in the water, drop me in the river Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why I love you like I do All the troubles you put me through Sixteen candles there on my wall And here am I the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know that you'll tell me I love to stay Take me to the river and drop me in the water Dip me in the river, drop me in the water Washing me down, washing me down

On the first of May, it is moving day Spring is here, so blow your job Throw your job away! Now's the time to trust To your wanderlust In the city's dust you wait, must you wait Just you wait.......!
In a mountain greenery Where God paints the scenery Just two crazy people together While you love your lover Let blue skies, be your coverlet When it rains we'll laugh at the weather And if you're good, I'll search for wood So you can cook... while I stand looking Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery Bless our mountain greenery home!
Simple cooking means More than French Cuisines I've a banquet planned which is Sandwiches and beans Coffee's just as grand With a little sand Eat and you'll grow fatter, boy `smatter boy? Huh, huh! `Atta boy
In a mountain greenery Where God paints the scenery Just two crazy people together How-how-how-how-how we love sequestering Where no pests are pestering No dear momma holds us in tether Mosquitoes here Won't bite you dear I'll let them sting, me on the finger! Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery Bless our mountain greenery Far from life's machinery Bless our mountain greenery home!

Take Me To The Pilot ((Italian Version: Il Primo Passo (Tihm) - 1970)) Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin First release by: Elton John - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
If you feel that it's real I'm on trial And I'm here in your prison Like a coin in your mint I am dented and I'm spent with high treason
Through a glass eye your throne Is the one danger zone Take me to the pilot for control Take me to the pilot of your soul
Take me to the pilot Lead me through the chamber Take me to the pilot I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot Lead me through the chamber Take me to the pilot I am but a stranger
Well I know he's not old And I'm told he's a virgin For he may be she But what I'm told is never for certain
Take Me To The Land Of Jazz Composer(s): Edgar Leslie - Bert Kalmar
It was down in Tennessee That the Jazzy melody Originated then waited for popularity Now in every cabaret It's the only thing they play I love to hear it, must be near it That's why I say
There is music in each breeze Even tombones grow on trees You hear 'em moaning and groaning their tuneful harmonies Every cotton planter's son When he meets his lovin' "hon" Is simply pestered and requested To join the fun
"Take me to the Land of Jazz Let me hear the kind of blues that Memphis has I want to step To a tune that's full of ginger and pep Pick 'em up and lay 'em down Learn to Razmataz Let me give you a warning We won't get home until morning 'Cause everybody's full of Jazzbo In the lovin' Land of Jazz"
