Following In Your Footsteps Composer(s): Ian Hunter; Mick Ronson Performer(s): Ian Hunter; The Hunter Ronson Band
Some folk leave courage some folk leave you hope Why am I out here hangin' like a fool at the end o' my rope Some folk leave you wisdom some folk leave you signs You can never be sure what went on before Life is just a matter of time
Picture of you clouding my view I'm following in your footsteps tryin' to make some sense of it all Maybe it's a sign of weakness but that's where my footsteps fall I'm following in your footsteps tryin' to hang on to your dreams You never got what you wanted So I never got what I need I'm following in your footsteps 'cos that's where the footsteps lead
Someone must have given me anger someone must have given me hate Or why would I stand here shakin' when there's so many chances to take
Pictures of you climb into view I'm following in your footsteps tryin' to make some sense of it all Maybe it's a sign of weakness but that's where my footsteps fall
I'm following in your footsteps watchin' my children grow They're following in my footsteps Takin' it on the road We're following in your footsteps 'cos that's where the footsteps go We're following in your footsteps, yeah 'cos that's where your footsteps go
The Family Of Man Composer(s): Jack Conrad - Paul Williams Performer(s): Three Dog Night
This tired city was somebody's dream Billboard horizons as black as they seem Four level highways across the land We're building a home for the family of man And it's so hard whatever we are coming to Yes it's so hard with so little time And so much to do Time running out for the family of man One man to lead us with so much to say Moving the mountains that got in our way Prayer books and meetings to find a plan Deciding the fate of the family of man Memories replacing the loves that we've lost Burning our bridges as soon as they're crossed Factories built where the rivers ran And time running out for the family of man

Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around Everybody tries it once Those who don't just have to put it down You paddle out turn around and raise And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long All the surfers going strong They said it wouldn't last too long They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy Every Saturday boy But don't treat it like a toy Just get away from the shady turf And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin on top of the world Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
The falconer is sitting on His summersand at dawn Unlocking flooded silvercages And with a silverdin arise All the lovely faces And the lovely silvertraces erase My empty pages
The falconer is sitting on His summersand at dawn Beside his singing silverwaves And his dancing rebelrace That compose ahead of timeless time A sound inside my candle light
Father child Angels of the night Silverframe my candlelight
Father child Angels of the night Silverframe my candlelight
The falconer is sitting on His summersand at dawn Unlocking flooded silvercages And with a silverdin arise All the lovely faces And the lovely silvertraces erase My empty pages

Catch a train to my place
Call me when you get into town

But she's got her problems too
And I don't doubt it
Baby your father
I know he's always drinking
Most of the time
He don't even know what he's doing
Now baby
Catch a train to my place
Call me when you get into town
Gonna meet you at the station
You can tell me why you're feeling down
I can't imagine
Why you're feeling so alone
It's just a week since I saw
Baby why are you crying so?
All you got to do is
Catch a train to my place
Call me when you get into town
I'm gonna meet you at the station
You can tell me why you're feeling
Catch a train to my place
Call me when you get into town
I'm gonna meet you at the station
You can tell me why you're feeling
Ah baby why you're feeling down
Down, down, down, down
Why don't you come around
Why don't you catch a train
The midnight train's all right

Doedoedoedoe...
Zeg weet je nog schat onze eerste TV Ik ben hem toen zelf nog gaan halen Hij stond op die kast, op een stuk toile cirée Die doos ging ons leven bepalen
Jij hebt leren koken met 'Penelope' Ik viel voor Regine in 'Zuid-Noord' En weet je nog wel, onze dochter Josée Is verwekt tijdens 't Is maar een woord'
Zie ik de beelden op de schermen Dan gaat mijn hart wat sneller slaan Daar ligt er eentje luid te kermen Daar loopt een ventje op de maan
50 jaar lang al televisie 50 jaar lang die schone buis Lichtpunt in het lastig leven Een halve eeuw een vriend aan huis
Het paringsgedrag van de roodborsttapuit Problemen met tandartspraktijken Het beste beleg voor een zeemansbeschuit Wij weten het dankzij veel kijken
De kinderen zijn groot en wij zijn nu alleen Dat valt allemaal nog wel mee Wij maken nooit ruzie, wij zijn nooit gemeen We zitten gewoon voor TV
Zie ik de beelden op de schermen Lalalalalalalala Daar ligt er eentje luid te kermen Lalalalalalalala
50 jaar lang al televisie 50 jaar lang die schone buis Lichtpunt in het lastig leven Een halve eeuw een vriend aan huis
Catch A Star Composer(s): Colin Hay Performer(s): Men At Work
Experience babe, kickin' stones and cans Experience babe, cigarette-stained hands It's not too late, hear it in the wind It's not too late, feel passion creepin' in Intoxication, familiar smells of the hotels Infatuation, of knowing who you are
You and I, You and I, You and I Arrow through my heart Catch a star
Isolation, rows and rows of cars Isolation, like Jupiter and Mars Staring faces, set in celluloid Welcome to the late show, starring Null and Void Complications, things get in the way Sweet sensation of knowing you are near and not too far
You and I, You and I, You and I Arrow through my heart Catch a star
You and I, You and I, You and I Freeway through your heart Catch a star

The Faithful Hussar (Don't Cry My Love) Performer(s): Vera Lynn
A soldier boy, so brave and gay With head held high, he marched away His sweetheart wept, but every night He'd think of her and he would write Don't cry, my love, while I am gone Don't sigh, my love, just carry on
The leaves of green turned brown and gold The days grew short and nights were cold But when the winter winds blew chill Afire with love, he'd write her still Don't cry, my love, while I am gone Don't sigh, my love, just carry on
Then came the day he'd hungered for When he need live on dreams no more For he could write and it was true My dear, I'll soon be home to you Don't cry, my love, I'm coming home Don't sigh, my love, no more I'll roam
We two again will never part Stand easy, love, you've won my heart

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night Just in case you feel you want to hold her You'll have a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night Just in case you feel you want to hold her You'll have a pocketful of starlight (Pocketful of starlight, hm,hm,hm,hm,hm,hm)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day
(Save it for a rainy, save it for a rainy, rainy, rainy, day)
For when your troubles start multiplyin' and they just might It's easy to forget them without tryin' With just a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day
Follow my leader, follow my leader Follow my leader, down to the mill Follow my leader , follow my leader Through the green meadow, and over the hill Over the bridge, and along by the stream, with Never a thought of a stumble, or spill Follow my leader, follow my leader Follow my leader, down to the mill
Follow my leader, follow my leader Follow my leader, down to the farm Follow my leader, follow my leader Be sure when you follow, you come to no harm Down shady lanes, and through hedges, and ditches Careful to cause wandering hens, no alarm Passing the hen-coops, barns, and the cow-sheds Follow my leader, down to the farm
Follow my leader, follow my leader Follow my leader, down to the sea Follow my leader, follow my leader Heedless of waves, and the wind blowing free Over the rocks, that lay bare in the sunlight shouting and laughing in pure childish glee Follow my leader, follow my leader Follow my leader, down to the sea

The Fairest Of The Seasons Composer(s): Gregory Copeland - Jackson Browne Performer(s): Nico
Now that it's time Now that the hour hand has landed at the end Now that it's real Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe try another time And do I really have a hand in my forgetting?
Now that I've tried Now that I've finally found that this is not the way Now that I turn Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe finally split the rhyme And do I really understand the undernetting?
Yes and the morning has me Looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs carefully
Now that it's light Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind Now that it's here Now that I'm almost not so very far behind I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe follow another sign And do I really have a song that I can ride on?
Now that I can Now that it's easy, ever easy all around Now that I'm here Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song I want to know do I stay or do I go And do I have to do just one And can I choose again if I should lose the reason?
Yes, and the morning Has me looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs more carefully
Now that I smile Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside Now that I see Now that I finally found the one thing I denied It's now I know do I stay or do I go And it is finally I decide That I'll be leaving In the fairest of the seasons
Catch
Composer(s): Simon Gallup - Robert Smith - Porl Thompson - Lol Tolhurst - Boris Williams
First release by: The Cure - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists
Yes I know who you remind me of a girl I think I used to know Yes I'd see her when the day got colder on those days when it felt like snow You know I even think that she stared like you she used to just stand there and stare And roll her eyes right up to heaven and make like I just wasn't there
And she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name
And sometimes we would spend the night just rolling about on the floor And I remember even though it felt soft at the time, I always used to wake up sore You know I even think that she smiled like you, she used to just stand there and smile And her eyes would go all sort of far away and stay like that for quite a while
And I remember she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her But I never even caught her name
Follow Me Composer(s): John Denver Performer(s): John Denver
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done to be so in love with you and so a-lone
Chorus: Follow me where I go what I do and who I know make it part of you to be a part of me follow me up and down all the way and all around take my hand and say you'll follow me
It's long been on my mind you know it's been a long, long time I'll try to find the way that I can make you understand the way I feel about you and just how much I need you to be there where I can talk to you when there's no one else around
Chorus
You see, I'd like to share my life with you and show you things I've seen places that I'm going to places where I've been to have you there beside me and never be alone and all the time that you're with me then we will be at home
The Eyes Of The World Composer(s): Jeff Branen - Arthur Lange
Oh it's great to be great and be something in the eyes of the world you proclaim when a name to the eyes of all the world is unfurled Not for me; can't you see I am longing for a land night and day for a place on the face of this world of ours where we both can hide away
There's a land that is grand! I can see it every night in my dreams Over the sea, here to me, comes the fragrance of its flowers, so it seems Loving time, loving clime, where the roses are in bloom all the while! Let us fly, you and I, on our honey moon, to that far enchanted Isle
The eyes of the world, won't you take me from the eyes of the world? You know that I want to be, want to be free take me to a lonely island far over the sea We can live there alone We can start a little kingdom of our own, where we can love all the day far far away, far from the eyes of the world
