The Bowery Composer(s): Percy Gaunt - Charles H. Hoyt Performer(s): Mantovani; Richard Perry
Oh! The night that I struck New York I went out for a quiet walk Folks who are "on to" the city say Better by far that I took Broadway But I was out to enjoy the sights There was the Bow'ry ablaze with lights I had one of the devil's own nights I'll never go there any more
The Bowery! the Bowery! They say such things and they do strange things On the Bowery! The Bowery! I'll never go there any more
I had walked but a block or two When up came a fellow and me he knew Then a policeman came walking by Chased him away and I asked him, "Why?" "Wasn't he pulling your leg?" said he Said I, "He never laid hands on me!" "Get off the Bow'ry, you yep!" said he I'll never go there any more
The Bowery! the Bowery! They say such things and they do strange things On the Bowery! The Bowery! I'll never go there any more
I went into an auction store I never saw any thieves before First he sold me a pair of socks Then said he, "How much for the box"? Someone said,"two dollars," I said "Three" He emptied the box and gave it to me "I sold you the box, not the socks," said he I'll never go there any more
The Bowery! the Bowery! They say such things and they do strange things On the Bowery! The Bowery! I'll never go there any more
I went into a concert hall I didn't have a good time at all Just the minute that I sat down Girls began singing "New Coon in Town" I got up mad and spoke out free "Somebody put that man out," said she A man called a bouncer attended to me I'll never go there anymore
The Bowery! the Bowery! They say such things and they do strange things On the Bowery! The Bowery! I'll never go there any more
I went into a barber shop He talked till I thought he would never stop I said, "Cut it short," he misunderstood Clipped down my hair just as close as he could He shaved with a razor that scratched like a pin Took off my whiskers and most of my chin That was the worst scrape I ever got in I'll never go there any more
The Bowery! the Bowery! They say such things and they do strange things On the Bowery! The Bowery! I'll never go there any more
I struck a place that they called a "dive" I was in luck to get out alive When the policeman heard my woes Saw my black eyes and my battered nose "You've been held up!" said the copper fly! "No, sir! But I've been knocked down!" said I Then he laughed, tho' I couldn't see why! I'll never go there any more
The Bowery! the Bowery! They say such things and they do strange things On the Bowery! The Bowery! I'll never go there any more

Schreeuwen van de daken Het lijkt wel onder water Had ik je maar nooit gekend Alle blikken afgewend
Want ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd Nee, ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd Je hebt mij van mijn zinnen beroofd En ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd
't Regent alle dagen In mijn woestijn zonder water Drank vloeit er in overvloed Niet dat het er veel toe doet
Want ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd Nee, ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd Veel te veel in van alles geloofd En ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd Nee nee nee
Alles op zijn kop, zelfs de snelheid Van het licht verandert Alles op zijn tijd Alles op zijn tijd
Had ik je maar nooit gekend Was ik maar in Dixieland
Want ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd Ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd Je hebt mij van mijn zinnen beroofd En ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd
Nee ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd (Uit mijn lijf, uit mijn ziel Jij bent veel te veel promille Voor een vent die naar de sterren staart) Veel te veel in van alles geloofd En ik krijg je maar niet uit mijn hoofd Oh nee

chorus: I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

chorus
Fever gives ya lust with an appetite It hits ya like the fangs from a rattlesnake bite We're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight
We can't run away from trouble There ain't no place that far But if we do it right at the speed of light There's the back seat of my car, caviar
I was feelin' so high I forgot what day Now I'm feelin' low down even slow Seems way to fast And now the booze don't work 'Cause the drugs ran out of gas
chorus
The buzz that you be gettin' from the Crack don't last I'd rather be O.D.in' on the Crack of her ass Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not All there tonight
My first time ever lover We fell asleep out on the lawn And when I woke up I was all alone Makin' love to the Crack of Dawn So yo, I beg yo pardon sir, The gangster of love rides again
You know I gotta chill It gimme such a thrill Like a burnin' plague Yeah get outta my way
Fever may be Hell and a cross to bear As long as I'm in heaven honey I don't care You look so good baby look so fine I tell you you're the image of a perfect crime You get so tired holdin' on so tight If you think you're goin' crazy Well you may be right
chorus
Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not All there that's right
Bottle Let Me Down Composer(s): Merle Haggard First release by: Merle Haggard and The Strangers - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over Not feeling any pain at closing time But tonite your memory found me much too sober Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonite the bottle let me down And let your memory come around The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonite the bottle let me down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to And lately I've been turning every day But the wine don't take effect the way it used to I'm hurtin' in that old familiar way
Tonite the bottle let me down And let your memory come around The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonite the bottle let me down

1998 - Ik Krijg Je Maar Niet Uit Mijn Hoofd (by Dirk Blanchart)
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave she came
staring as she called my name
And I can't get it out of my head
no, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head
Breakdown on the shoreline
can't move, it's an ebbtide
Morning don't get here till night
searching for her silver light
And I can't get it out of my head
no, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no
Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me, yeh
Sitting till the sun goes down
in dreams the world keep going round and round
And I can't get it out of my head
no, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no
No, I can't get it out of my head
no, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no no no

Willie works as the garden man He plants trees, he burns leaves He makes money for himself Often I stop with his words on my mind Do spacemen pass dead souls on their way to the moon?

The Bottle Composer(s): Pat Green Performer(s): Pat Green
Now women and whiskey, they ain't the answer Lord, I just know that this is true But the way that I'm feeling, I just might be thinking Lord, tonight they just might have to do
I've spent a lot of long and lonely nights in honky tonk taverns I was two fisted drinking, fighting back against the wall And I know it's a problem, a now-win situation But I can't seem to resist that old whiskey bar
So pour me a drink, why don't you give me the bottle Sit me down in the corner, until we're two sheets gone And don't tell me no stories about a good hearted woman I want to hear Your Cheatin' Heart and cry all night long
Now me and my buddies, we got a lot in common We all wish that we could take time and just turn it around Take us back to the good lod days, hard work and cowboy ways Take us to a swingin' door saloon, this is what I'm gonna say
So pour me a drink, why don't you give me the bottle Sit me down in the corner, until we're two sheets gone And don't tell me no stories about a good hearted woman I want to hear Your Cheatin' Heart and cry all night long
So pour me a drink, why don't you give me the bottle Sit me down in the corner, until we're two sheets gone And don't tell me no stories about a good hearted woman I want to hear Your Cheatin' Heart and cry all night long

Autrefois, les feuilles ne volaient jamais elles jalousaient les oiseaux qui passaient Elles dirent au soleil: "Vous qui êtes si fort donnez-nous l'audace de prendre enfin notre essor" Une brise douce aussitôt se leva De sa branche une imprudente s'envola d'autres la suivirent dans les airs tourbillonnants Les feuilles dansaient heureuses, libres maintenant Feuille, vole, vole, danse avec le vent dans la farandole des joyeux vivants Va vers la lumière comme les oiseaux loin de nos poussières plus haut Mais le vent volage s'en alla bientôt Les feuilles abandonnées tombaient de haut Quand on n'est pas un oiseau, du ciel on redescend Voici pourquoi les feuilles mortes tombent ensembl' Cette histoire vraie n'est pas vraiment morale tous les jours je vole vers mon idéal et moi, j'aime cette feuille qui voudrait voler car qui ne veut pas voler est déjà enterré Feuille, vole vole, tombe, tombe aussi Pauvre feuille folle, merci!

Fagulhas, pontas de agulhas Brilham estrelas de São João Babados, xotes e xaxados Segura as pontas meu coração Bombas na guerra-magia Ninguém matava, ninguém morria Nas trincheiras da alegria O que explodia era o amor Nas trincheiras da alegria O que explodia era o amor Bis
E ardia aquela fogueira Que me esquenta a vida inteira Eterna noite sempre a primeira Festa do Interior

The Boss Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson Performer(s): Diana Ross
Fancy me Thought I had my degree In life and how love Ought to be a run
I had a one step plan to prove it Guide in my pocket for fools Folly and fun Love had to show me one thing
I was so right So right Thought I could turn emotion On and off I was so sure So sure (I was so sure) But love taught me Who was who was who was the boss (Taught me who was who was the boss)
I'd defy Anyone who claimed that I Didn't control whatever moved in my soul I could tempt Touch delight Just because you fell for me Why should I feel uptight Love had to show me one thing:
I was so right So right Thought I could turn emotion On and off I was so sure So sure (I was so sure) But love taught me Who was who was who was the boss (Taught me who was who was the boss)
Love taught me Taught me Taught me Taught me
I was so right So right Thought I could turn emotion On and off I was so sure So sure (I was so sure) But love taught me Who was who was who was the boss (Taught me who was who was the boss)
Can't Get By Without You
Composer(s): Michael Denne - Ken Gold
Performer(s): The Real Thing
No way - no way - no way
When I leave your door
when we say good-night
It hurts me more and more
'cause girl
it just ain't right
To end the day like this with no more than a kiss
And spend the night just dreaming of the things
we're gonna miss
If I have my way girl
we'd be together more and more each day
We'd go on forever
lovers hand in hand
can't you understand
Girl
you've got to be my woman
I've got to be your man!
'Cause I can't get by without you
I need you more each day
The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say
'Cause I love you girl
I need you
And I can't get by without you - no way!
It's a sad affair
wasting precious time that you and I could share
Girl
it's such a crime to hear you call my name
it's a crying shame
When we're not together then there's only time to blame
There will come a day girl
I do believe
It's not too far away when I can say good-night
And still be by your side to dry the tears you cried
And I'll have all the love I need to keep me satisfied
'Cause I can't get by without you
I need you more each day
I can't get by without you
I need you more each day
Can't get by without you - can't get by without you
Can't get by without you
I can't get by without you
I need you more each day
I can't get by without you
I need you more each day

The Border Composer(s): Russ Ballard - Dewey Bunnell Performer(s): America
You must be lost in a faraway land I searched forever your footprints in the sand I feel you need me, I have to answer That desperate call that I do not understand
A burning bridge, a lonely highway Another dark night thinking alone What could've happened, am I just dreaming It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know
If I could make it to the border If I could make it to the coast If I could make it to the border I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Make it to the border
So on and on I keep on running To make the border before the light Just one more river, then I can make it Again you'll be in my arms tonight
If I could make it to the border If I could make it to the coast If I could make it to the border I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Make it to the border Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Make it to the border
If I could make it to the border If I could make it to the coast If I could make it to the border I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
