De Mooiste Muziek ((Adapted from: Sound Of Music (Mary Martin) - 1959)) Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II - Joris Lutz - Luc Lutz Performer(s): Ann De Winne - 1998
Een dag op de berg, vliegt om voor je t weet, zo vlug Een ster die verdwijnt, die leidt mij naar huis terug Maar diep in mijn hart weerklinkt dan een stem die me zegt niet te gaan En ik luister en hoop vol verlangen op nog een lied Mijn lievelingsmelodie voor ik slapen ga
De mooiste muziek, rijk aan melodieën Weerklinkt door het dal, van dit schone land Vervult heel mijn hart met zn melodieën Aan ieder lied heb ik mijn hart verpand
Mijn hart slaat op hol en ik zweef door de lucht Als een vogel zo vrank en zo vrij en kijk in mijn vlucht Als een kind dat droomt naar het land onder mij
Daar stroomt een rivier Als een zilveren lint in een luchtspiegeling Ik voel mij zo vrij als een biddende vogel en zing
Ik vlucht hier naartoe als ik mij alleen voel Dan hoor ik muziek waar ik zo van hou Mijn hart is verrukt Want die melodieën zijn mij zo vertrouwd
The Simple Joys Of Maidenhood Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe Performer(s): Julie Andrews and multiple other artists
Where are the simple joys of maidenhood? Where are all those adoring daring boys? Where's the knight pining so for me he leaps to death in woe for me? Oh where are a maiden's simple joys?
Shan't I have the normal life a maiden should? Shall I never be rescued in the wood? Shall two knights never tilt for me and let their blood be spilt for me? Oh where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Shall I not be on a pedestal, Worshipped and competed for? Not be carried off, or better st'll, Cause a little war? Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Are those sweet, gentle pleasures gone for good? Shall a feud not begin for me? Shall kith not kill their kin for me? Oh where are the trivial joys? Harmless, convivial joys? Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Cold Love Composer(s): Pete Bellotte; Harold Faltermeyer; Keith Forsey Performer(s): Donna Summer; Motors
I'm walking the line I'm walking the line treading thin ice time after time
I go for the best, end up with much less I need the real thing forget all the rest
started out good working out bad all the sweet love turner sour and sad
a face and name it's always the same so tired of playing love's foolish games tell me why love passes me by
Cold love, cold love another shot of rock'n'roll love cold love, cold love whatever happened to that good old love tell me why, tell me why, tell me why tell me why, tell me why
Hope in the dark, love in the light I'll keep on looking for someone who's right
I'm out for the best can you stand the test I need the real thing no more and no less tell me why love passes me by
Cold love, cold love another shot of rock'n'roll love cold love, cold love whatever happened to that good old love tell me why, tell me why, tell me why tell me why, tell me why
Riding With Private Malone Composer(s): Wood Newton; Thom Shepherd Performer(s): David Ball
I was just out of the service Thumbin' through the classifieds When an ad that said "Old Chevy" Somehow caught my eye The lady didn't know the year Or even if it ran But I had that thousand dollars in my hand It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp And when I pulled the cover off It took away my breath What she called a Chevy Was a sixty-six Corvette And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills But what a thrill I got When I sat behind the wheel I opened up the glovebox And that's when I found the note The date was 1966 and this is what he wrote
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone And if your readin' this, then I didn't make it home But for every dream that's shattered Another one comes true This car was once a dream of mine Now it belongs to you Though you may take her and make her your own You'll always be riding with Private Malone
Well it didn't take me long at all I had her runnin' good I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood I had her shinin' like a diamond and I put the rag top down All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right But it picked up that Oldie's Show Especially late at night I get the feelin' sometimes If I turned real quick I'd see A soldier ridin' shotgun In the seat right next to me
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone Who fought for his country and never made it home But for every dream that's shattered There's another that comes true This car was once a dream of his back when it was new He told me to take her and make her my own And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
Well one night it was rainin' hard I took the curve too fast I still don't remember much about that firey crash But someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out They didn't get his name But I know without a doubt
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone Who fought for his country and never made it home But for every dream that's shattered There's another that comes true This car was once a dream of his back when it was new And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along Yeah that night I was riding with Private Malone
Sound Of Music ((Dutch Version: De Mooiste Muziek (Ann De Winne) - 1998)) Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II First performance/First release by: Mary Martin - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
The hills are alive with the sound of music With songs they have sung for a thousand years The hills fill my heart with the sound of music My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies from a church on a breeze To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely I know I will hear what I've heard before My heart will be blessed with the sound of music And I'll sing once more
The Silky Veils Of Ardor Composer(s): Joni Mitchell First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1977
I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through all these highs and lows I heard there was no sickness And no toil or danger Just mercy and plenty Where peaceful waters flow Where peaceful waters flow
Come all you fair and tender school girls Be careful now--when you court young men They are like the stars On a summer morning They sparkle up the night And they're gone again Daybreak--gone again
If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor What a killing crime this love can be I would have locked up my heart In a golden sheath of armor And kept its crazy beating Under strictest secrecy High security
I wish I had the wings Of Noah's pretty little white dove So I could fly this raging river To reach the one I love But I have no wings And the water is so wide We'll have to row a little harder It's just in dreams we fly In my dreams we fly!
Cold Hearted Composer(s): Gary Moore Performer(s): Gary Moore
I'm a man with something to say I don't need nobody to show me the way I don't care if it's day or if it's night Ain't nobody gonna teach me wrong from right
'Cause every hungry woman Has tried to make a fool out of me Every hungry woman Stick around and baby you'll see
I'm cold hearted I'm so cold hearted
I'm a man with a mind of my own I don't need nobody, I'm happy all alone I don't care if it's day or if it's night Ain't nobody gonna teach me wrong from right
'Cause every hungry woman Has tried to make a fool out of me Every hungry woman Stick around and baby you'll see
I'm cold hearted So cold hearted I'm cold hearted So cold hearted
Let me show you why they call me cold hearted, baby
Every hungry woman Has tried to make a fool out of me Every hungry woman Stick around and baby you'll see
I'm cold hearted So cold hearted I'm cold hearted So cold hearted
Baby, I tell you I've got a heart that's made of stone

Cold Grey Light Of Dawn Composer(s): Ivory Joe Hunter Performer(s): Nick Lowe; Ivory Joe Hunter; Charlie Musselwhite
That old alarm clock gives a yell starting another day in hell passing a world I can't face with you gone in the mirror I see someone to choose to be me and I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn The Neon light and the jukebox help to ease me through the night I lean hard on the bottle 'til I no longer stand up right in the morning in my room I'm like a body in a tomb Those same three walls keep coming on kind of strong Down the freeway when I drive more dead than alive and I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn The Neon light and the jukebox help to ease me through the night I lean hard on the bottle 'til I no longer stand up right in the morning in my room I feel like a body in a tomb Those same three walls keep coming on kind of strong Down the freeway then I drive more dead than alive and I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn
Riding In The TT Races Composer(s): Gifford Cliffe Performer(s): George Formby
If theres one thing that I like
it's riding around on a motor-bike I'm a speed king, when I once begin I once won first prize two and six, I know all the dirt track dirty tricks I'm a marvel when I'm out to win In a fifty mile race I am the best, I ride five miles and skid the rest
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. races Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces I've been riding all my life, I started quite small I've ridden fairy cycles, aye, and scooters and all Hear the people cheer me when they see me steering backwards Down the hill I go at break-neck speed See me coming down the street with the winning post on the pillion seat Oh! Come along and see me riding in the T.T. race
Come along and see me riding in the T.T. races Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces Once my bike was hard to ride, but I didn't mind Until I found they'd hitched a charabanc on behind Everybody's scaring, I am such a daring rider My inside rattles when I go the pace My ribs begin to shake about, there's all my spare parts sticking out So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race
Alternative ending: With my gears in reverse, the other way round I'll finish first Oh! Come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

The Sierry Petes Composer(s): Gail Gardner - Bill Simon Performer(s): Don Edwards
Away up high in the Sierry Petes Where the yeller pines grows tall Ole Sandy Bob an' Buster Jig Had a rodeer camp last fall
Oh, they taken their hosses and runnin' irons And mabbe a dawg or two An' they 'lowed they'd brand all the long-yered calves That come within their view
And any old doggie that flapped long yeres An' didn't bush up by day Got his long yeres whittled an' his old hide scorched In a most artistic way
Now one fine day ole Sandy Bob He throwed his seago down "I'm sick of this cow-pyrography And I 'lows I'm a-goin' to town"
So they saddles up an' hits 'em a lope Fer it warnt no sight of a ride And them was the days when a Buckeroo Could ile up his inside
Oh, they starts her in at the Kaintucky Bar At the head of Whisky Row And they winds up down by the Depot House Some forty drinks below
They then sets up and turns around And goes her the other way An' to tell you the Gawd-forsaken truth Them boys got stewed that day
As they was a-ridin' back to camp A-packin' a pretty good load Who should they meet but the Devil himself A-prancin' down the road
Sez he, "You ornery cowboy skunks You'd better hunt yer holes Fer I've come up from Hell's Rim Rock To gather in yer souls"
Sez Sandy Bob, "Old Devil be damned We boys is kinda tight But you ain't a-goin' to gather no cowboy souls 'Thout you has some kind of a fight"
So Sandy Bob punched a hole in his rope And he swang her straight and true He lapped it on to the Devil's horns An' he taken his dallies too
Now Buster jig was a riata man With his gut-line coiled up neat So he shaken her out an' he built him a loop An' he lassed the Devil's hind feet
Oh, they stretched him out an' they tailed him down While the irons was a-gettin hot They cropped and swaller-forked his yeres Then they branded him up a lot
They pruned him up with a de-hornin' saw An' they knotted his tail fer a joke They then rid off and left him there Necked to a Black-Jack oak
If you're ever up high in the Sierry Petes An' you hear one Hell of a wail You'll know it's that Devil a-bellerin' around About them knots in his tail
Where did summer go? How'd I miss the change of season? All at once the wind blows rough It's cold enough to snow
In the street below People laugh, they got no reason Don't they know it's cold enough to snow
When we were together And you were staying Funny but the weather still felt like May in did-December Now the chill winds blow, sunny skies they're only teasing You won't show, it's cold enough to snow
On the radio, there's a man says 'it ain't freezing' What's he know? He didn't watch you go
Now the sun can't shine If it wants to, fine But it's cold enough to snow
Ridin' My Thumb To Mexico Composer(s): Johnny Rodriguez Performer(s): Johnny Rodriguez; Bluegrass Etc.; Bill Emerson
This old highway seems so lonesome
when you're going where you've been And the lonesome song will make you cry time and time again If I had listened to a friend of mine ten years ago today I'd have a better job than what I've got today
But the billboards on the highway and the brake-lights on the cars Make me jump out on the highway with my bag and my guitar If she comes or if she goes it doesn't matter anymore 'cause I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
Chorus: Ridin' my thumb to Mexico Well it don't matter when or how I go I'll ride this thumb till I see her again So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
Well the reason why she left me's not the reason that I'm here I'm a travellin' kind of man just need a change of atmosphere If there's any place I haven't been at all that's where I'll go So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
