    Taking Some Time On
    Composer(s): John Lees - Les Holroyd - Mel Pritchard - Woolly Wolstenholme
    Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest



    Let's come on and get together
    Like the sky gets to the sea
    Just taking some time on
    Let's come on and make it better
    Let's make everybody see
    Just taking some time on
    For those who feel inclined
    To talk about the hidden feelings of their mind
    Let's come on and get together
    Let's come on and get together
    Like the sky with the sea
    Like the sky with the sea
    Just taking some time on

    Let's come on and tell the story
    Of the way it used to be
    Just taking some time on
    Let's come on and sing a song now
    Of the days when we were free
    Just taking some time on
    For those who feel inclined
    To talk about the hideen feelings of their mind
    Let's come on and get together
    Let's come on and get together
    Like the sky with the sea
    Like the sky with the sea
    Just taking some time on

    Let's come on the feeling's right now
    We want everyone to be
    Just taking some time on
    Let's come on and get together
    Like the sky gets to the sea
    Just taking some time on
    For those who feel inclined
    To talk about the hideen feelings of their mind
    Let's come on and get together
    Let's come on and get together
    Like the sky with the sea
    Like the sky with the sea
    Just taking some time on

    Mr. Apollo
    Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall; Neil Innes
    Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band



    I have seen Mr. Apollo uproot trees with his bare hands
    I have seen Mr. Apollo's body-building plan
    He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
    And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
    And-- and you can beat up bullies until they cry
    "oh lor'!
    Oh, crikey let go, you rotter
    Don't punish me!"

    And you're tough (You're very fit)
    Your voice is gruff (It sounds like grit)
    You are so strong (and proud of it)
    Thanks to Mr. Apollo
    Follow Mr. Apollo
    Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind
    Follow Mr. Apollo
    Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind

    You know
    He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
    And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
    And-- you can kick the sand right back in their faces
    Kick! (laugh)

    Chorus

    (Chorus In Background)
    Yes
    Just give me ten years of your life
    and I'll trade in that puny flab for living muscle
    The physique you deserve!
    Strong
    Chesty shoulders to hold your shirt up (He can do it for you)
    Five years ago, I was a four-stone apology
    Today, I am two separate gorillas
    No tiresome excercises
    No tricks
    No unpleasant bending
    Wrestle poodles and win!
    Play beachball!
    Shave your legs (Yes, he can do it for you)
    Knock over walls
    Tease people!
    Brush them aside as though they were matchsticks
    Impress your friends

    Giving Up
    Composer(s): Van McCoy
    Performer(s): Donny Hathaway;
    and various other artists



    Giving up is hard to do
    When you really love someone
    Giving up .... so hard to do
    When you still depend upon
    Her warm and tender touch
    Her kiss and her hug..........her caress
    Oooooh that used to mean so much
    And bring you happiness
    Woooo ooooooooh

    Giving up, so hard to do
    I've tried
    But it just ain't no use
    Giving up, so hard to do
    I said I've tried
    But it just ain't no use
    But my light of hope is burning dim
    But
    But in my heart I pray
    That my love and faith in the girl
    My love...will bring her back someday

    I'm talking 'bout when you really love someone

    Whether
    Whether she knows or not
    She really needs me too The little girl is all I got
    Yes she is
    And giving, giving up is hard to do
    Giving up
    So hard to do
    Heey...giving up
    So very hard to do
    I said I've tried
    Hey, but I just can't get loose
    Giving up
    So hard for me to do
    I don't want to lose you
    Cause you mean so much to me

    Taking My Business Elsewhere
    Composer(s): Richard Thompson
    Performer(s): Richard Thompson



    If she's not here by now, then I guess she's not coming
    If she's not here by now, then I guess she don't care
    Oh waiter, I won't waste your time anymore
    You've already started to sweep down the floor
    And I guess she's not coming, so I'll head for the door
    I'll be taking my business elsewhere

    It wasn't for me, that spark in her eyes
    It wasn't for me, that halo in her hair
    When she touched me a lump rose up into my throat
    But she must act that way with any old soak
    And waiter you don't seem to share in the joke
    So I'll be taking my business elsewhere

    She called me her fantasy
    And boldly she kissed me
    I'll never get over the sheer surprise
    Of her acting that way
    And I'm healing okay
    But for the eyes of her...

    Oh it's cold in the rain and it's dark and it's sad
    And I'll miss her tonight on my lonely back stair
    I'm sorry for taking so much of your space
    I'll move down the street to some friendlier place
    'Cause I guess she's not coming, and you're sick of my face
    I'll be taking my business elsewhere

    Mr. And Mrs. Used To Be
    Composer(s): Joe Deaton
    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
    Loretta Lynn; Leon Redbone



    Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
    For oh so long I've loved you I know that you loved me
    But time moved on and we grew far apart
    It's not the way I wanted but the judge has set you free
    Although you're still the first one in my heart

    I just don't understand it how people such as we
    Could know the love that we have known but somehow disagree
    I hope that you'll be happy the same to you from me
    Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

    At first it was like heaven on earth for you and me
    But heaven's sure has changed a lot since then
    I can't put all the blame on you for some belongs to me
    What started out as heaven reached an end

    I guess we could have made it but pride stood in our way
    For love to live it must have worked we never seemed the same
    And so I say goodbye now, kiss the kids for me
    Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

    Giving It All Away
    Composer(s): David Courtney; Leo Sayer
    Performer(s): Roger Daltrey; Leo Sayer



    I paid all my dues so
    I picked up my shoes
    got up and walked away
    Oh! I was just a boy
    I didn't know how to say?

    Worked hard and failed
    now all I can say
    is I threw it all away
    Oh! I was just a boy
    giving it all away

    Sail away, Sail away

    Oooooooh! Well I know better now
    I know better now
    giving it all away

    Oooooooh! Well I know better now
    I know better now
    giving it all away

    Went out in this world
    to much for my nerve
    only myself to blame
    Oh! I was just a boy
    nobody else to blame

    I've done all I can
    now it's out of my hands
    stand on my head and say

    Oh! I was just a boy
    giving it all away

    Sail away, Sail away

    Ooooooh! Well I know better now
    I know better now
    giving it all away...
    ....Just a boy, giving it all away
    I was just a boy giving it all away
    I was just a boy, giving it all away
    Just a boy giving it all away
    Just a boy!

    Taking A Child By The Hand
    ((Adapted from: Prendre Un Enfant (Yves Duteil) - 1978))
    Composer(s): Yves Duteil - J. Wright
    Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1987

    Versions In Other Languages:

    1980 - Neem Eens Een Kind Bij De Hand (Paul Roelandt)
    1986 - Gib Einem Kind Deine Hand (Nana Mouskouri)



    Taking a child by the hand
    Teaching him just how to stand
    So he'll accept what tomorrow may bring
    Taking a child for a king

    Taking a child in your arms
    And as you feel your heart sing
    Drying his tears as you're letting him cling
    Taking a child for a king

    Taking a child to your heart
    Soothing away his distress
    Softly in silence to soothe and caress
    Taking a child to your heart

    Taking a child in your arms
    And as you feel your heart sing
    Tears start to fall as you're letting him cling
    Taking a child for a king

    Taking a child by the hand
    Singing him nursery rhymes
    So that he'll sleep at the end of the day
    Singing his troubles away

    Taking a child to your breast
    Soothing away his unrest
    And looking on to the future you've planned
    Taking a child by the hand

    Years on your own, now no longer alone
    Taking a child for your own

    Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
    Voor wie niet weet waar dat ligt
    Ergens in het uiterste zuiden van het land
    Parel van het Limburgse land
    Stad met een eigen gezicht
    Door de Romeinen gesticht
    En door de Fransen beinvloed als geen
    Kom maar, dan gaan we er heen

    Kom met me mee en flaneer
    Proef die Bourgondische sfeer
    Stad van traditie, van wierrook en bier
    Altijd het grootste plezier
    Stad aan de kolkende Maas
    Weinig bezongen, helaas
    Stad zoals jij bent, zo is er niet een
    Kom maar dan gaan we er heen

    Hmmmmm, hmmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmmm

    Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
    Stad met het oude gezicht
    Stokoude straten maar jong nog van hart
    Altijd een beetje apart
    Stad aan de kolkende Maas
    Weinig bezongen helaas
    Zo'n zachte G als jij heeft er niet een
    Kom maar dan gaan we er heen
    Stad als een onuigesproken gedicht
    Kom met me mee naar Maastricht

    Groeten uit Maastricht

    Give Us Your Blessings
    Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich
    Performer(s): The Shangri-Las; Ray Peterson



    Run, run, run
    Mary, run, run, run
    Jimmy, run, run, run
    Mary, run, run, run

    Mary and Jimmy were both very young
    But as much in love
    As two people could be
    And all they wanted
    Was to share that love eternally

    They went to their folks they told them
    That someday soon they'd be wed
    Their folks just laughed
    And called them kids
    So Mary said

    Give us your blessing
    Please don't make us Run away
    Give us your blessing
    Say you'll be there on our wedding day

    They wouldn't have laughed at Mary
    If they could have seen through the door
    But Jimmy was waiting in the car
    While Mary begged once more

    Give us your blessing
    Please don't make us Run away
    Give us your blessing
    Say you'll be there on our wedding day

    Well as they drove off they were crying
    And nobody knows for sure
    That, that's why they didn't see the sign
    That read detour

    The next day they found them
    Mary and Jimmy were dead
    And as their folks
    Knelt beside them in the rain
    They couldn't help but hear
    The last words that Mary and Jimmy had said

    Give us your blessing
    Please don't make us Run away
    Give us your blessing
    Say you'll be there on our wedding day

    Run, run, run
    Mary, run, run, run
    Jimmy, run, run, run
    Mary, run, run, run

    Covered by multiple other artists



    Here I go again
    I hear those trumpets blow again
    All aglow again
    Taking a chance on love

    Here I slide again
    About to take that ride again
    Starry eyed again
    Taking a chance on love

    I thought that cards were a frame-up
    I never would try
    Now I'm taking that game up
    And the ace of hearts is high

    Things are mending now
    I see a rainbow blending now
    We'll have a happy ending now
    Taking a chance on love

    Here I slip again
    About to take that trip again
    I got that grip again
    Taking a chance on love

    Now I prove again
    That I can make life move again
    I'm in a groove again
    Taking a chance on love

    I walk around with a horseshoe
    In clover I lie
    And brother rabbit of course you
    Better kiss your foot good-bye

    On that ball again
    I'm riding for a fall again
    I'm gonna give my all again
    Taking a chance on love

    Performer(s): Focus



    Moving waves, the wind has left you
    And you're still in commotion?
    Moving waves, the wind has left you
    And you're still in commotion?

    We are still repeating the word it has taught us
    It moves our whole being into ecstasy

    Waves, why do you all become excited
    And then all calm together?
    Because behind our individual action
    There is one impulse working
    Because behind our individual action
    There is one impulse working

    Rising waves...what motive is behind your impulse?
    What motive is behind your impulse?

    The desire to reach upwards!!

    Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Dick Poons
    Performer(s): Herman van Veen - 1970

    Versions In Other Languages:

    Eerst heb je de oude man
    een pimpelpaarse neus
    versleten en poreus
    die niets onthouden kan
    Hij, die zich zo bezet en zo gezopen heeft
    dat hij zichzelf vergat en als een ander leeft
    Hij, meneer, hij is half gaar, meneer
    hij denkt koning te zijn
    maar zuipt elke nacht weer de zelfde slechte wijn, meneer
    en 's ochtends
    vindt men hem, paars-kaars wit
    stijf als een marmeren zerk
    terwijl hij ronkend pit
    Daarna, meneer, scheel van de drank
    hikt hij de Here dank
    Begrijp me wel, meneer, dat bij dit slag volk, meneer
    praat men niet
    men bidt...

    En dan de andere man, hij is geen kam gewend
    heeft klitten in zijn haar
    maakt graag een ruim gebaar
    dat voos is als de motten in het weggeschonken hemd
    Hij, meneer, hij trouwde Liselotte
    een schatje uit de stad, nou ja, een andere stad
    en u weet niet waar
    zij, zij heeft zaakjes daar
    die doet ze, klein koket, het hoedje scheef gezet
    in kleine cabriolet
    ze doet zich duur voor meneer
    maar als je geen centen hebt, meneer
    koop dan geen portemonnee, meneer
    Begrijp me goed, meneer, bij dit slag volk meneer
    praat men niet, denkt men niet, doet men niet, meneer
    men nept...

    En dan, en dan is er de rest, de moeder die niets zegt
    althans niets van belang, en dan ontstellend echt
    de puriteinse smoel van vader op 't behang
    z'n snor omlijst en koel, hij ziet op 't gehoor
    z'n soep slikkende troep en dat gaat dan van...

    En dan, de hele oude vrouw
    ze beeft meer dan ze leeft
    men, meneer, men wacht tot ze 't begeeft
    omdat ze duiten heeft
    men luistert niet zo nauw naar wat haar hand vertelt
    Begrijp me wel, meneer, dat bij dit slag volk meneer
    praat men niet, doet men niet, denkt men niet, meneer
    men telt...

    En dan, en dan, en dan is er Frieda
    ze is zo mooi, zo teer, ze houdt van mij, meneer
    net als ik hou van haar, zelfs zo dat wij elkaar
    een huis hebben gebouwd dat heel veel ramen
    maar heel weinig muren heeft, meneer
    waar 't goed is dat je leeft, meneer
    en valt 't nog te bezien, meneer
    dan is het toch misschien...

    Maar God
    meneer, de anderen, meneer
    de anderen willen niet, meneer, de anderen zeggen
    ze is te mooi voor jou
    jij bent
    een vuile
    kattenmepper
    een kattenmepper, meneer...

    en ik, meneer, ik wilde nooit een kat, meneer
    nou ja, niet sinds ik haar ken of, of 't was
    of 't was zo lang terug al, dat ik 't al lang vergat, meneer
    of 't was een zieke kat, meneer
    De anderen
    ze willen 't niet

    Soms als ze mij weer ziet
    per ongeluk, expres
    met vochtig, trouwe blik
    verteld ze weg te gaan
    met mij van huis vandaan
    en dan, voor een ogenblik
    één ogenblik, ach, dan geloof ik haar, meneer
    dan geloof ik haar
    maar u weet niet waar, meneer
    bij dit slag volk
    bij dit slag volk, gaat men niet weg meneer
    men gaat niet weg, meneer...

    maar 't is al laat, meneer
    ik moet nu terug naar huis

    Moving In Stereo
    Composer(s): Greg Hawkes; Ric Ocasek
    Originally performed by: The Cars
    Covered by various other artists



    Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
    Life's the same except for my shoes
    Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
    Life's the same it's all inside you

    It's so easy to blow up your problems
    It's so easy to play up your breakdown
    It's so easy to fly through a window
    It's so easy to fool with the sound

    It's so tough to get up
    It's so tough
    It's so tough to live up
    It's so tough on you

    Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
    Life's the same except for my shoes
    Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
    Life's the same it's all inside you

    Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
    Life's the same except for my shoes
    Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
    Life's the same it's all inside you

    Give My Regards To Broadway
    Composer(s): George M. Cohan
    Performer(s): Judy Garland;
    and various other artists



    Did you ever see two Yankees
    part upon a foreign shore
    When the good ship's just about to
    start for Old New York once more?

    With teardimmed eye they say goodbye
    they're friends without a doubt
    When the man on the pier
    Shouts "Let them clear", as the ship strikes out

    Give my regards to Broadway
    Remember me to Herald Square
    Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
    that I will soon be there

    Whisper of how I'm yearning
    To mingle with the old time throng
    Give my regards to old Broadway
    and say that I'll be there ever long

    Give my regards to Broadway
    Remember me to Herald Square
    Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
    that I will soon be there

    Whisper of how I'm yearning
    To mingle with the old time throng
    Give my regards to old Broadway
    and say that I'll be there ever long

    Say hello to dear old Coney Isle
    If there you chance to be
    When you're at the Waldorf
    have a smile and charge it up to me

    Mention my name every place you go
    as 'round the town you roam
    Wish you'd call on my gal
    Now remember, old pal when you get back home

    Give my regards to Broadway
    Remember me to Herald Square
    Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
    that I will soon be there

    Whisper of how I'm yearning
    To mingle with the old time throng
    Give my regards to old Broadway
    and say that I'll be there ever long

    Give my regards to Broadway
    Remember me to Herald Square
    Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
    that I will soon be there

    Whisper of how I'm yearning
    To mingle with the old time throng
    Give my regards to old Broadway
    and say that I'll be there ever long

    Moving
    Composer(s): Kate Bush
    Performer(s): Kate Bush



    Moving stranger
    Does it really matter
    As long as you're not afraid to feel?
    Touch me, hold me
    How my open arms ache!
    Try to fall for me

    How I'm moved
    How you move me
    With your beauty's potency
    You give me life
    Please don't let me go
    You crush the lily in my soul

    Moving liquid
    Yes, you are just as water
    You flow around all that comes in your way
    Don't think it over
    It always takes you over
    And sets your spirit dancing

    How I'm moved
    How you move me
    With your beauty's potency
    You give me life
    Please don't let me go
    You crush the lily in my soul
