Triad Composer(s): David Crosby First recording/First release: The Byrds - 1967/Jefferson Airplane - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
You want to know how it will be Me and him and you and me You both stand there your long hair flowing Your eyes alive your mind still growing Saying to me -- "What can we do now that we both love you" I love you too -- I don't really see Why can't we go on as three You are afraid -- embarrassed too No one has ever said such a thing to you Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder Face like ice -- a little bit colder Saying to you -- "you can not do that, it breaks All the rules you learned in school" I don't really see Why can't we go on as three We love each other -- it's plain to see There's just one answer comes to me -- Sister -- lovers -- water brothers And in time -- maybe others So you see -- what we can do -- is to try something new -- If you're crazy too -- I don't really see Why can't we go on as three
Up The Junction Composer(s): Glenn Tilbrook; Chris Difford First release by: Squeeze - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
I never thought it would happen With me and the girl from Clapham Out on a windy common That night I ain't forgotten When she dealt out the rations With some or other passions I said "You are a lady" "Perhaps" she said "I may be"
We moved into a basement With thoughts of our engagement We stayed in by the telly Although the room was smelly We spent our time just kissing The Railway Arms we're missing But love had got us hooked up And all our time it took up
I got a job with Stanley He said I'd come in handy And started me on Monday So I had a bath on Sunday I worked eleven hours And bought the girl some flowers She said she'd seen a doctor And nothing now could stop her
I worked all through the winter The weather brass and bitter I put away a tenner Each week to make her better And when the time was ready We had to sell the telly Late evenings by the fire With little kicks inside her
This morning at 4:50 I took her rather nifty Down to an incubator Where thirty minutes later She gave birth to a daughter Within a year a walker She looked just like her mother If there could be another
And now she's two years older Her mother's with a soldier She left me when my drinking Became a proper stinging The devil came and took me From bar to street to bookie No more nights by the telly No more nights nappies smelling
Alone here in the kitchen I feel there's something missing I'd beg for some forgiveness But begging's not my business And she won't write a letter Although I always tell her And so it's my assumption I'm really up the Junction

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
Keep your foot hard on the pedal, Son, never mind them brakes Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarcana And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
Ol' Smokey's got them ears on and he's hot on your trail He ain't gonna rest 'til you're in jail So you got to dodge 'im and you got to duck 'im You got to keep that diesel truckin' Just put that hammer down and give it hell
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
I Only Want To Love You Composer(s): Mike Pinder Performer(s): Mike Pinder
Looking back, sometimes I wondered Who held the key to your heart Now I know, through places I travelled Our love's unraveled a chart...
In my life I've waited... For a chance to really make it... Something written into my stars. Past lives that I've lived Only lead up to a Gift Of speaking out my thoughts in my songs
I only want to love you I only want to care I'd like a friend to talk to My feelings are to share...my life with someone I hope it's you and that you'll care
Our imagination is a secret of creation Given to us right at the start And our Destination is reaching for salvation From the city streets we've outgrown
I only want to love you I only want to care I'd like a friend to talk to My feelings are to share my life...with someone I hope it's you and that you'll care
I only want to love you... So will you play this song again...

Composer(s): Larry Huff - William Linton
First release by: The Essex - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
My friends all tell me Go to him, run to him Say sweet lovely things to him And tell him - he's the one
Deep in my heart I know it But it's so hard to show it 'Cause it's easier - easier said than done
My buddies tell me Fly to him, sigh to him Tell him I would die for him And tell him - he's the one
Although he gives me a feeling That sets my heart a-reeling Yet it's easier - easier said than done
Well, I know that I love him so I'm afraid that he'll never know Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me Sing to him, swing with him And just do anything for him And tell him - he's the one
I got a love so true But I'm sad and blue 'Cause it's easier - easier said than done
Well, I know that I love him so I'm afraid that he'll never know Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me Sing to him, swing with him And just do anything for him And tell him - he's the one
I got a love so true But I'm sad and blue 'Cause it's easier - easier said than done Easier-er-er-er - said than done

If I could ease your pain If I could lighten your load If I could make it just a little better for you If I could just help you find That sacred place in your mind Where the light of understanding love Outshines the sun
You know, sweet moonshine is not just Illegal whiskey It can also be the light guides you Through the shadows of fear When the Devil is near An' you need some kind of helping hand To carry you through
Know you been livin' in a down hill arraign For seein' your death on a military plane You said: "Oh, now "Can't take no more now" No doubt about it when you find out about it You gonna wanna run an' tell all your friends about it Easy, it's so easy
Peace on earth is comin' on strong You bad guys better believe us We're all workin' on the same sweet song You better get ready, by Jesus He'll never leave us Standin' in the middle of a road With a load of mankind's dirty laundry
We're all livin' in the same big boat An' you know we just can't fake it If you don't think that you can float C'mon, we'll help you make it Because we love you
If I could ease your pain If I could lighten your load If I could make it just a little better for you If I could just help you find That sacred place in your mind Where the light of understanding love Outshines the sun
Where the light of understanding love Outshines the sun
Tres Agujas Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez
Los barcos viajan de país en país la luna no siempre es la misma y vos te vas a ir, solo en la habitación tu mamá se fue a Marruecos sin alhajas Es algo así como cansarse de todo y todo sigue dando vueltas Estoy abriéndome, estoy cansándome mi nación no tiene cruces ni banderas No es que no te crea es que las cosas han cambiado un poco Es mi corazón quien decide entre el mar y la arena Necesito verte antes que sea demasiado tarde casi son las tres, tres agujas tengo en la cabeza No, creo que nunca es tarde, una válvula de escape se transforme en un acorde No, es que yo no quiero más nadar en piletas Están partiendo el mundo por la mitad
están quemándose las velas Están usándome, están riéndose y mi canción es un antídoto liviano No es que no te crea es que las cosas han cambiado un poco Es mi corazón quien decide entre el mar y la arena Necesito verte antes que sea demasiado tarde casi son las tres, tres agujas tengo en la cabeza Una cuerda es una bala, el amor un ejercicio una iglesia es como un circo No, es que yo no quiero más nadar en piletas Quiero vivir aquí, más quiero cambiar cambiar para sentirme vivo y te daré una flor antes que un decadrón oh! mi amor, estoy tranquilo pero herido

I said I only meant just to wet my feet But you pulled me in where all the waters of love run deep Oh, this good feeling

We mogen niet meedoen met Big Brother en Idool Of met een wedstrijd voor piano of viool En uit de Wetstraat worden we verdreven Want we zijn vijftig plus en afgeschreven
We zijn niet geschikt als presentator op tv En ook bij miss-verkiezingen spelen we niet mee En onze jobs worden aan snotapen gegeven Want we zijn vijftig plus en afgeschreven vijftig plus en afgeschreven
Maar we kunnen nog springen We kunnen nog swingen Alleen gaan die dingen Niet meer zo snel We kunnen nog rijen En ja,we kunnen nog vrijen We voelen ons blij in ons rimpelig vel
We kunnen nog shaken Knolselder kweken En onze hypotheken Zijn al lang afbetaald We kunnen nog reizen We kunnen nog blij zijn Al doet onze rug pijn En worden we kaal
Michel Verschueren, Paul Van Himst en Luc Beaucourt En ook Jaak Gabriels is nog niet op zijn retour We zijn dynamisch en lang niet uitgeblust Ja, we zijn vijftig plus
En ook Will Tura is nog lang niet met pensioen Boogie Boy schept nog alle dagen poen We zijn dynamisch en we vinden het leven o zo heerlijk Want we zijn vijftig plus en onontbeerlijk vijftig plus en onontbeerlijk
We kunnen nog springen We kunnen nog swingen Alleen gaan die dingen Niet meer zo snel We kunnen nog rijen En ja,we kunnen nog vrijen We voelen ons blij in ons rimpelig vel
We kunnen nog shaken Knolselder kweken En onze hypotheken Zijn al lang afbetaald We kunnen nog reizen We kunnen nog blij zijn Al hebben we rugpijn Of een andere kwaal

Er ist noch immer der, der er schon immer war Wir sind noch immer sowas wie ein gutes Paar Und dabei wird es mir zum ersten Male klar Man braucht gute Gruende, um zu gehen
Ich fühle mich zurückversetzt in jene Zeit Erst wenn das alte hin war, gab's ein neues Kleid Nun sitz' ich da und warte auf den großen Streit Denn man braucht gute Gruende, um zu gehen
Ich möchte gern' raus hier ich halt' das nicht aus hier Ich kann dieses Haus hier schon lang' nicht mehr sehen Denn wie ich's auch drehe ich taug' nicht zur Ehe Denn ich geh', wenn ich gehe gar nicht, um fremd zu gehen gar nicht, um fremd zu gehen
Wie kannst Du sagen, dass ich nicht die Alte bin? Wie kannst Du fragen, wo ist uns're Liebe hin? So viel and're Möglichkeiten wären drin Doch keine Gründe, um zu gehen
Ich gäbe viel dafür, wenn Du darüber lachst Ich mach' mir ein paar Sorgen die Du Dir nicht machst Ich blieb' auch hier damit Du nicht alleine wachst Doch gib mir gute Gründe, um zu gehen
Ich möchte gern' raus hier ich halt' das nicht aus hier Ich kann dieses Haus hier schon lang' nicht mehr sehen Denn wie ich's auch drehe ich taug' nicht zur Ehe Denn ich geh', wenn ich gehe gar nicht, um fremd zu gehen gar nicht, um fremd zu gehen
