    Laat Me In Je Armen Rusten
    ((Adapted from: Arms Of Mary (Sutherland Brothers & Quiver) - 1975))
    ((Danish Version: Marys Arme (Bamse Venner) - 1977))
    Composer(s): Iain Sutherland - Peter Van Laet
    Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 2007



    Het maanlicht
    In mijn ogen
    De wind waait
    Door de bomen
    Oh vanavond
    Wil ik in je armen rusten

    Ze kan mijn
    hart beroeren
    ze doet me
    beter voelen
    oh vanavond
    wil ik in je armen rusten

    zij was maar een zomerlief
    en toch vergeet ik niet
    van wat ik toen
    van haar heb geleerd
    de zomer was voorbij
    toen ik haar zomaar achterliet
    en nu besef ik
    dat was verkeerd

    wanneer ik
    mij alleen voel
    dan heb ik
    weer maar 1 doel
    oh vanavond
    wil ik in je armen rusten

    zij was maar een zomerlief
    en toch vergeet ik niet
    van wat ik toen
    van haar heb geleerd
    de zomer was voorbij
    toen ik haar zomaar achterliet
    en nu besef ik
    dat was verkeerd

    het maanlicht
    in mijn ogen
    de wind waait
    door de bomen
    oh vanavond
    wil ik in je armen rusten

    dan wil ik in je armen rusten
    laat me in je armen rusten
    oh
    laat me in je armen rusten
    mmmm
    laat me in je armen rusten
    oh
    laat me in je armen rusten

    Calling Your Name Again Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - Richard Marx Performer(s): The Carpenters



    I wake up in the dark
    The silence brings me to my senses
    I wonder where you are
    Then I feel the pain
    The pain in my heart
    Coz I’m living without your love
    I’m all - alone for the first time
    And it doesn’t seem to be a dream
    A dream that will be over

    All the words you said
    Weren’t enough to fool this heartache
    The memories in my head
    Are they enough to stop me falling apart?
    Coz I’m living without your love
    Maybe it won’t be the last time
    I don’t know how much more I can take
    Hopeless wide-awake and here I go…

    Calling your name again
    Thinking of all that we two had before
    There’s got to be more
    This I know
    Calling your name again
    Remembering all the love you gave to me
    And how it used to be…

    I think of what’s to come
    Then I turned and see your picture
    The tears began to fall
    And soon again they sense of nothing at all
    Coz I’m living without your love
    Won’t think that I’ll make it this time
    Something tells me this is not the end
    Wish I could pretend but here I go

    Calling your name again
    Thinking of all that we two had before
    There’s got to be more
    This I know
    Calling your name again
    Remembering all the love you gave to me
    And how it used to be…

    Calling your name again
    Remembering all the love you gave to me
    And how it used to be…

    How it used to be…

    The Argonaut
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Roger McGuinn



    'Twas the twenty-first of January
    Eighteen fifty three
    Our gallant ship the Argonaut
    Set sail for jubilee
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    We headed up to Greenland
    Into the wintry seas
    Where there's ice and snow, and the whale fish blow
    And Jamaca rum would freeze
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    Our captain Davy Grant me boys
    He give us all a treat
    And that is why we caught a whale
    That measured fifty feet
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    And when reached Cape Harrison
    The weather it turned clear
    Our pilot aimed us to the south
    And homeward we did steer
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    But shortly out of Newfoundland
    A storm began to rise
    The seas kicked up, the mast it broke
    The Argonaut capsized
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    Of all those bold, brave sailors
    On that day did set sail
    Well I'm the only one alive
    Left to tell the tale
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    It was the twenty-first of January
    Eighteen fifty three
    Our gallant ship the Argonaut
    Set sail for jubilee
    Singin' blow ye winds of morning
    Blow ye winds hi ho
    Stow away your runnin' gear and
    Blow boys blow

    Fancy
    Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry
    Performer(s): Bobbie Gentry;
    and various other artists



    "Well, I remember it all very well lookin' back
    It was the summer that I turned eighteen
    We lived in a one-room, run down shack
    on the outskirts of New Orleans

    We didn't have money for food or rent
    to say the least we was hard-pressed
    when Momma spent every last penny we had
    to buy me a dancin' dress

    Well, Momma washed and combed and curled my hair
    then she painted my eyes and lips
    Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress
    It had a split in the side clean up to my hips

    It was red, velvet-trimmed, and it fit me good
    and standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
    where a half grown kid had stood

    She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
    God forgive me for what I do
    but if you want out girl it's up to you
    Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

    Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume
    on my neck and she kissed my cheek
    Then I saw the tears welling up
    in her troubled eyes as she started to speak

    She looked at our pitiful shack and then
    she looked at me and took a ragged breath
    She said, Your Pa's runned off, and I'm real sick
    and the baby's gonna starve to death

    She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said
    "To thine own self be true"
    and I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
    the toe of my high-healed shoe

    It sounded like somebody else was talkin'
    askin', "Momma what do I do?"
    She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy
    They'll be nice to you"

    She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
    God forgive me for what I do
    But if you want out girl it's up to you
    Now don't let me down
    now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

    That was the last time I saw my momma
    when I left that rickety shack
    The welfare people came and took the baby
    Momma died and I ain't been back

    But the wheels of fate had started to turn
    and for me there was no other way out
    It wasn't very long after that I knew exactly
    what my momma was talkin' 'bout

    I knew what I had to do
    Then I made myself this solemn vow
    I's gonna to be a lady someday
    though I didn't know when or how

    But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life
    with my head hung down in shame
    You know I mighta been born just plain white trash
    but Fancy was my name

    She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
    God forgive me for what I do
    but if you want out girl it's up to you
    Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

    Wasn't long after that a benevolent man
    took me in off the streets
    One week later I was pourin' his tea
    in a five roomed penthouse suite

    Since then I've charmed a king, a congressman
    and an occasional aristocrat
    and I got me an elegant Georgia mansion
    and a New York townhouse flat

    Now I ain't done bad

    Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous
    hypocrites who call me bad
    They criticize Momma for turning me out
    No matter how little we had

    But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin'
    now for nigh on fifteen years
    But I can still hear the desperation
    in my poor mommas voice ringin' in my ears

    "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Oh, here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
    God forgive me for what I do
    but if you want out girl it's up to you
    Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

    Listen Closely

    Why, Be Foolish My Dear
    Come With Me
    To That Tree

    New Techniques For Glazing Pottery
    Wood-Craft, First-Aid, Home Economy
    Madam, Adam Will Be Overjoyed!

    When He Becomes Aware Of
    Your Attainments He'll Beam With Loving Pride
    And He Will Say

    There's trouble in paradise
    with her love you pay such a price
    She must be all alone again she's calling for me

    She doesn't turn me all the time
    When I need her she's got a busy line
    She must be all alone again she's calling for me
    What else could it be

    I know she's
    she's calling out my name
    I know she's
    she's never gonna change her ways
    She's always treat me the same
    and she knows it's true
    what am I gonna do

    I could go so far away
    but I know I couldn't stay
    Knowing that she's all alone again
    calling for me

    She's dangerous to my heart
    I shoulda known it from the start
    She must be all alone again she's calling for me
    what else could it be

    I know she's...
    and there is nothing I can do

    I know she is...

    Performer(s): Blondie



    I set my hand to writing you, it drifted off the page
    I sold my one vision, for a piece of the cake
    I haven't ate in days
    For unspoken value aesthetic and charm
    I'd smile at you sideways
    But the lighting is wrong
    I'm taking a picture and counting the cost
    While the bells in my ears keep ringing
    I set my hand to writing you, it drifted of the page
    I nearly fell I feel like a lowlife in hell
    And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days
    Beat on my Fender through my Gemini two
    Play to the posters on the wall of my room
    Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you
    And the bells in my ears keep ringing
    And the bells in my ears keep ringing
    In my ear bells are ringing

    I used to live in a two room apartment
    Neighbors knockin' on my wall
    Times are hard, I don't wanna knock it
    I don't miss it much at all

    Oh yeah, I'm alright
    I just feel a little lonely tonight
    I'm OK most of the time
    I just feel a little lonely tonight

    I used to need your love so badly
    But I came to live with it
    Lately I get the funniest feeling
    And the whole thing starts again

    Oh yeah, I'm alright (ooo)
    I just feel a little lonely within (again)
    I'm OK most of the time
    I just feel a little lonely tonight

    I used to need your love so badly

    Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft Composer(s): Terry Draper - John Woloschuk First release by: Klaatu - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists



    In your mind you have capacities you know
    To telepath messages through the vast unknown
    Please close your eyes and concentrate
    With every thought you think
    Upon the recitation we're about to sing

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

    You've been observing our earth
    And we'd like to make a contact with you
    We are your friends

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra-emissaries

    We've been observing your earth
    And one night we'll make a contact with you
    We are your friends

    Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft

    And please come on peace, we beseech you
    Only a landing will teach them
    Our earth may never survive
    So do come, we beg you
    Please interstellar policeman
    Oh, won't you give us a sign
    Give us a sign that we've reached you

    With your mind you have ability to form
    And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
    You close your eyes, you concentrate
    Together that's the way
    To send the message
    We declare world contact day

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

    Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
    Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

    We are your friends

    I told her I wouldn't miss her at all as she walked to the door I couldn't care less if she didn't care anymore And with tears in my eyes, I lied I was glad we were through As she drove away cryin' at the famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart and I don't love you Famous last words of a fool The first night without her would be easy I kept tellin' myself All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin' somewhere else There'll be nothin' to it, I'll easily find someone new As my breaking heart echoed the famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart and I don't love you Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart and I don't love you Famous last words of a fool

    The Answer To Everything
    Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach
    Performer(s): Del Shannon
    and multiple other artists



    Don't ask me a mountain of questions
    When there is only one answer to it all
    Do you love me, really love me as I love you
    It's the answer to everything if you do

    Don't give me a million excuses
    When I am waiting with my arms open wide
    Do you love me, really love me as I love you
    It's the answer to everything if you do

    If there is someone else, some other place who holds your heart
    Tell me now, truthfully, before we start

    Don't act like you misunderstand me
    When there is simply no mystery to it all
    Do you love me, really love me as I love you
    It's the answer to everything if you do

    Calling Elvis Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits; The Tribute Band



    Calling Elvis - is anybody home
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Or can he come to the phone
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

    Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
    Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
    Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel
    Return to sender - treat me like a fool

    Calling Elvis - is anybody home
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Or can he come to the phone
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

    Why don't you go get him - I'm his biggest fan
    You gotta tell him - he's still the man
    Long distance baby - so far from home
    Don't you think maybe you could put him on

    Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
    Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
    Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel
    Return to sender - treat me like a fool

    Calling Elvis - is anybody home
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Or can he come to the phone
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

    Famous Blue Raincoat
    Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
    Performer(s): Leonard Cohen;
    and various other artists



    It's four in the morning, the end of December
    I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
    New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
    There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening

    I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
    You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record

    Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
    She said that you gave it to her
    That night that you planned to go clear
    Did you ever go clear?

    Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
    Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
    You'd been to the station to meet every train
    And you came home without Lili Marlene

    And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
    And when she came back she was nobody's wife

    Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
    One more thin gypsy thief
    Well I see Jane's awake

    She sends her regards

    And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
    What can I possibly say?
    I guess that I miss you
    I guess I forgive you
    I'm glad you stood in my way

    If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
    Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free

    Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
    I thought it was there for good so I never tried

    And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
    She said that you gave it to her
    That night that you planned to go clear

    L'âme Des Poètes
    Composer(s): Charles Trenet
    First release by: Charles Trenet - 1951
    Covered by multiple other artists

    Versions In Other Languages
    - At Last! At Last! (Lee Lawrence)
    1971 - Heel Lang (Jo Leemans)



    Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps
    Après que les poètes ont disparu
    Leurs chansons courent encore dans les rues
    La foule les chante un peu distraite
    En ignorant le nom de l'auteur
    Sans savoir pour qui battait leur cœur
    Parfois on change un mot, une phrase
    Et quand on est à court d'idées
    On fait la la la la la la
    La la la la la la

    Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps
    Après que les poètes ont disparu
    Leurs chansons courent encore dans les rues
    Un jour, peut-être, bien après moi

    Un jour on chantera
    Cet air pour bercer un chagrin
    Ou quelque heureux destin
    Fera-t-il vivre un vieux mendiant
    Ou dormir un enfant
    Ou, quelque part au bord de l'eau
    Au printemps tournera-t-il sur un phono

    Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps
    Après que les poètes ont disparu
    Leur âme légère court encore dans les rues

    Leur âme légère, c’est leurs chansons
    Qui rendent gais, qui rendent tristes
    Filles et garçons
    Bourgeois, artistes
    Ou vagabonds.

    Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps
    La la la...

    Calling America
    Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
    Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



    Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
    Across the water on a seven-fortyseven
    Yeah, we're living in a modern world
    And pretty soon she's really got the notion
    Of flying out across the big blue ocean
    Yeah, we're living in a modern world

    Talk is cheap on satellite
    But all I get is static
    Information, I'm still here
    Re-dial on automatic

    Calling America (can't get a message through)
    Calling America (that's what she said to do)
    Calling America (that's where she has to be)
    Calling America (she left a number for me)
    Calling America

    But I'm just talking to a satellite
    Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
    Yeah, we're living in a modern world
    All I had to do was pick up the phone
    I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone
    Yeah, we're living in a modern world

    She left a number I could call
    But no one's there, no one at all
    There must be something going wrong
    That number just rings on and on

    Calling America (can't get a message through)
    Calling America (that's what she said to do)
    Calling America (that's where she has to be)
    Calling America (she left a number for me)
    Calling America

    Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while
    Guess she's missing me across the miles
    Yeah, we're living in a modern world

    Calling America (can't get a message through)
    Calling America (that's what she said to do)
    Calling America (that's where she has to be)
    Calling America (she left a number for me)
    Calling America
    Calling America, Calling America
    Calling America, Calling America...

    Family Tree
    Composer(s): Gerry Rafferty
    Performer(s): Gerry Rafferty



    When we were young we used to sing
    And we could feel the harmony
    You'd sit there waiting in the wings
    How long have you been waitin' to let your light shine?

    Many years have gone since then
    Seen us go our different ways
    But now we sit here once again
    Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine

    This is the time and place
    To bring out our memories
    It's written on every face
    I can see it in you, you can see it in me

    In all the years we had
    As part of a family tree
    We knew the good and bad
    I can see it in you, you can see it in me

    I know it's left its mark on you
    I see the same things in myself
    You know there's nothin' we can't do
    We've been a long time waitin', but some things never die

    It's time to leave all that behind
    It's time to lay that ghost to rest
    We can't deny the ties that bind
    Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine

    This is the time and place
    To bring out our memories
    It's written on every face
    I can see it in you, you can see it in me

    In all the years we had - when we were young we used to sing
    As part of a family tree - we could feel the harmony
    We knew the good and bad
    I can see it in you, you can see it in me

    Heel Lang
    ((Adapted from: L'âme Des Poètes (Charles Trenet) - 1951))
    ((English Version: At Last! At Last! (Lee Lawrence))
    Composer(s): Charles Trenet - Eric Franssen - Van Aleda
    Performer(s): Jo Leemans - 1971



    Heel lang, heel lang, heel lang
    Nadat de dichter zal verdwenen zijn
    Zweeft nog steeds door de straat een refrein

    Je hoort het weer en steeds maar weer
    Doch zelden wordt er naar gevraagd
    Wie toch wel dat liedje heeft gemaakt

    Zo nu en dan vergeet je een woord
    En nu dit kort, alsof 't zo hoort
    Van traag
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la

    Heel lang, heel lang, heel lang
    Nadat de dichter zal verdwenen zijn
    Zweeft nog steeds door de straat hun refrein

    Heel lang, heel lang, heel lang
    Nadat de dichter zal verdwenen zijn
    Zweeft nog steeds door de straat hun refrein

    't Kan vrolijk zijn
    Het doet zo'n pijn
    Het blijft gelijk
    Voor arm en rijk

    't Is een refrein
    Voor jong en oud
    Voor groot en klein

    Calle Schewens Vals Composer(s): Evert Taube Performer(s): Evert Taube; Anders Lundin



    On Roslagen´s isle, in a flowery bay
    Where ripples wash in from the sea
    The reeds slowly rock, and the sweet new-mown hay
    Is wafting its fragrance to me
    There I sit alone ´mid the trees by the way
    And gaze at the sea-birds on high
    They dive to the water with glitter of spray
    And feed, while I watch them and sigh

    I´m mixing my coffee quite freely with rum
    To a strength and a flavour just right!
    The accordion's measures alluringly come
    From my cabin so gaily alight
    I feel like a boy, though a granddad am I
    My spirit my grey hair belies
    I only get worse as the years pass me by
    With waltzes and maidens´ bright eyes

    Look – there is a gull with a fish he has caught
    But I´m caught by arms soft and white!
    My heart is so happy, my years are as naught
    Then play, for I´m dancing to-night!
    The sea sends a song, and its fragrance the glade
    To-night you must stay as my guest
    Here dances Calle Scheven with Roslagen´s maid
    The sunset is in the Northwest

    My flowery isle on your bosom you hold
    You tranquil and darkling blue seas!
    While June twilight shadows so tender, enfold
    All the slumbering bushes and trees
    You're dancing so quietly, sweet little miss
    I think that all men you despise
    It trembles, that small childish hand that I kiss
    While in minor the waltz softly dies

    But hey, all you fellows who visit my bay
    I´m really a sober old man
    When morning has come I must stack up my hay
    And catch all the fish that I can!
    The deuce take you, twilight; the morn you disclose
    In firtops agleam one by one
    Here dances Calle Scheven with Roslagen´s rose
    He dances while up comes the sun!
