Hemel En Aarde First performance by: Edsilia Rombley - 1998
Nederland was koel en kil en dan vooral het weer De wind die laat nooit stil en mijn liefdes leven des te meer Wat ik in jou ogen las ontsnapte bij mij het vuur Zo word nog wel is onderschat de kracht van de natuur
Hemel en aarde bewegen als jij voor mij staat Het is voor mij bewezen dat het lot bestaat Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde
Zwarte luchten breken open aan de horizon Nu zal ik me warmen aan de stralen van de zon Ik heb de liefde geprobeerd maar het was nooit wat het leek Maar ik zag de toekomst toen ik in jouw ogen keek
Hemel en aarde bewegen als jij voor mij staat Het is voor mij bewezen dat het lot bestaat Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde
Als jij voor mij staat, dat het lot bestaat Hemel en aarde gaan open als jij mij aanraakt Ik wilde nooit geloven maar er is meer Als jij voor mij staat, dat het lot bestaat Hemel en aarde Ik wilde nooit geloven, maar er is meer tussen hemel en aarde
Hang In Long Enough Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins; The Starlite Orch.
The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need The writing's on the wall, for you to see
You never thought you'd ever get the taste You never thought that it could be this good Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key Reach out and touch it's all yours
If you hang in long enough, you'll do it Just hang in long enough
You're down on the ground, or so you say You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way Don't ask me how I know, you don't wanna hear It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near
You never thought you'd ever get the chance You never thought your break would come along If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key Just reach out and touch it's all yours
If you hang in...
They always say The best things in life are free But you want to have everything Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all
So hang in long enough, you'll do it Hang in long enough
They'll let you out, then pull you in Playing hell with your emotions You'll feel like giving in.
Sous Le Soleil Exactement (English Version: The Sun Directly Overhead - 1995) Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg First release by: Anna Karina - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Un point précis sous le tropique Du Capricorne ou du Cancer Depuis j'ai oublié lequel Sous le soleil exactement Pas à côté, pas n'importe où Sous le soleil, sous le soleil Exactement juste en dessous
Etait-ce le Nouveau-Mexique Vers le Cap Horn, vers le Cap Vert Etait-ce sur un archipel Sous le soleil exactement Pas à côté, pas n'importe où Sous le soleil, sous le soleil Exactement juste en dessous
Dans quel pays, dans quel district C'était tout au bord de la mer Depuis j'ai oublié laquelle Sous le soleil exactement Pas à côté, pas n'importe où Sous le soleil, sous le soleil Exactement juste en dessous
C'est sûrement un rêve érotique Que je me fais les yeux ouverts Et pourtant si c'était réel? Sous le soleil exactement Pas à côté, pas n'importe où Sous le soleil, sous le soleil Exactement juste en dessous
Where Are You? Composer(s): Scott English - Phil Manikiza - Simon Stirling First performance by: Imaani - 1998
I see your picture in a frame I see a face without a name Riding alone on an empty train Where are you?
I live in a house of broken hearts Leaves are falling in the park Every day is a question mark Where are you?
I would drive through the rain (to find you) Walk a desert plain (behind you) You could unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Through the storm I call your name (to guide you) Love could be the flame (beside you) If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Lying in my room at night Silhouettes are dressed in white Waiting for the morning light Where are you?
Each day you will live and learn As the wheels of heaven turn For you my candle burns Where are you?
I would drive through the rain (to find you) Walk a desert plain (behind you) You could unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Through the storm I call your name (to guide you) Love could be the flame (beside you) If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
(So near) so near (So far) so far Out there I can almost touch you You're here in my mind all the time Where are you now?
(I would drive through the rain) to find you (Walk a desert plain behind you) You could unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Through the storm (I call your name to guide you) Love could be the flame (beside you) If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you? Where are you now?
(I would drive through the rain to find you) (Walk a desert plain behind you) If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to) Where are you now?
Through the storm (I call your name to guide you) Love could be the flame (beside you) (If you unlock these chains)
Handy Composer(s): Andy Powell; Ted Turner; Martin Turner; Steve Upton Performer(s): Wishbone Ash
Was sat down by my fire, hear a voice of desire Want to be friends again I keep tellin you,man, shes only a pain She dont fit in my scene She dont fit in my world no more And the best has to stay Keep knockin on my door Shes gone away Were kickin the thoughts around the floor

First performance by: Jean Bretonnière - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
Sous le ciel de Paris Senvole une chanson Elle est née daujourdhui Dans le coeur dun garçon Sous le ciel de Paris Marchent les amoureux Leur bonheur se construit Sur un fait pour eux Sous le pont de Bercy Un philosophe assis Deux musiciens, quelques badauds Puis des gens par milliers Sous le ciel de Paris Jusquau soir vont chanter Lhymne dun peuple épris De sa vieille Cité Prés de Notre-Dame Parfois couve un drame Oui, mais à Paname Tout peut sarranger Quelques rayons du ciel dété Laccordéon dun marinier Lespoir fleurit Au ciel de Paris Sous le ciel de Paris Coule un fleuve joyeux Il endort dans la nuit Les clochards et les gueux Sous le ciel de Paris Les oiseaux du Bon Dieu Viennent du monde entier Pour bavarder entre eux Et le ciel de Paris A son secret pour lui Depuis vingt siècles il est épris De notre île Saint-Louis Quand elle lui sourit Il met son habit bleu Quand il pleut sur Paris Cest quil est malheureux Quand il est trop jaloux De ses millions damants Il fait gronder sur eux Son tonnerre éclatant Mais le ciel de Paris nest pas longtemps cruel... Pour se faire pardonner, il offre un arc-en-ciel...
Handsome Johnny Composer(s): Lou Gossett; Richie Havens Performer(s): Richie Havens; The Flaming Lips
Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see Marching to the fields of Concord? It looks like Handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand Marching to the Concord war, hey marching to the Concord war
Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see Marching to the fields of Gettysburg? It looks like Handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand Marching to the Gettysburg war, hey marching to the Gettysburg war

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see Marching to the fields of Birmingham? It looks like Handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist Marching to the Birmingham war, hey marching to the Birmingham war
Hey, it's a long hard road, it's a long hard road It's a long hard road, before we'll be free
Hey, what's the use of singing this song, some of you are not even listening Tell me what it is we've got to do: wait for our fields to start glistening Wait for the bullets to start whistling Here comes a hydrogen bomb, here comes a guided missile Here comes a hydrogen bomb: I can almost hear its whistle
Hands Across The Table Composer(s): Mitchell Parish; Jean Delettre Performer(s): Coleman Hawkins; and various other artists
Dinner is ended, the music is grand Softly the lanterns gleam Isn't it splendid to sit hand in hand Silently lost in a dream?
Hands across the table While the lights are low Tho' you hush your lips Your fingertips Tell me all I want to know Hands across the table Meet so tenderly And they say in their little way That you belong to me
Silence is golden, so do not reply And I shall understand All can be told in a look of your eye And in a touch of your hand
Hand across the table While the lights are low Tho' you hush your lips Your fingertips Tell me all I want to know Hands across the table Meet so tenderly And they say in their little way That you belong to me
Soupçons (Adapted from: Suspicious Minds - 1968) (Italian Version: Ultimo Tango A Memphis - 1997) Composer(s): Mark James - Michel Mallory Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1973
Petit à petit et sans faire de bruit Une ombre s'est glissée entre nous Après tant d'amour et après tant de nuits Un doute est venu pour tout briser
On fait mourir les rêves avec des soupçons Et un amour s'achève avec des soupçons
Toi tu doutes de moi, moi je doute de toi On imagine tout ce qu'on ne sait pas, oh oui On se dit des mots des mots qui sonnent faux On ment du cur on ment des lèvres
On fait mourir les rêves avec des soupçons Et un amour s'achève avec des soupçons
Écoute que ton cur il sait Combien je t'aime malgré tout Si tu lisais dans mes yeux, je sais Que toujours tu verrais vérité Vérité, vérité, ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais
Petit à petit et sans faire de bruit Une ombre s'est glissée entre nous Après tant d'amour et après tant de nuits Un doute est venu pour tout briser
Petit à petit et sans faire de bruit Une ombre s'est glissée entre nous Après tant d'amour et après tant de nuits Un doute est venu pour tout briser...
If I could reach out With my hands across the sea I'd take you in my arms And never set you free How I'd hold you and hold you Forever more in my heart
My love would be there With my hands across the sea To tell you what I feel And what you mean to me I'd then hold you and hold you And never more would we part
But you're much too far For my hands to reach out For my heart to remind you of me Too long is the distance between us Too wide and too deep is the sea
Now, I can't reach out With my hands across the sea But there's one thing I can do I can hope, I can pray I can wait for you
Ultimo Tango A Memphis (Adapted from: Suspicious Minds - 1968) (French Version: Soupçons - 1973) Composer(s): Mark James - Luciano Ligabue Performer(s): Luciano Ligabue - 1997
Camminerò Fuori e dentro di me Fuori da chi mi avete chiesto Vi lascierò In giro i giochi che ho Voi fate pure, io intanto, non cresco Ultimo tango a Memphis C'è chi non va più via non va più via Pensi di avermi, pensi Senza averne un'idea Camminerò Fino a quando ce n'ho Conosco il buio ed altri posti E mi slaccierò Quella cintura che so Che ti fa dire "ci siamo già visti?" Ultimo tango a Memphis C'è chi non va più via non va più via Mi hanno voluto Elvis Per la loro allegria Ho un magazzino pieno Di sogni già fatti Alcuni ancora buoni Parecchi son rotti Ma ci sono eh se ci sono Ultimo tango a Memphis C'è chi non va più via non va più via Pensi di avermi, pensi Senza averne un'idea Ultimo tango a Memphis C'è chi non va più via non va più via Mi hanno voluto Elvis Per la loro allegria (Damianò)
Hands Across The Border Composer(s): Ned Washington; Hoagy Carmichael Performer(s): Roy Rogers
Hands across the border Hands that reach my heart are stirring tender memories And the touch of them will haunt me forever Dream so much of them I'm never at ease I've held your hands across the border Since we've been apart But now I want to see things through Back where dreams are made to order in our old rendezvous Hands across the border, calling me to you
Suspicious Minds
Composer(s): Mark James
First release by: Mark James - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1973 - Soupçons
1997 - Ultimo Tango A Memphis
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah
Handprints On The Wall Composer(s): Scott Innes; Claude Parish; Nelson Blanchard Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
The wait turned into hours Before you came my way The smile that filled a daddy's heart On the special day The moment left me speechless I didn't know what to say Then you took your first breath That took mine away
Days go by so quickly Summer turns to fall Seems like only yesterday That you began to crawl So don't be afraid to take that step I'll catch you when you fall I don't mind if you leave behind A few handprints on the wall
I can't describe this feeling Way down deep inside The itsy-bitsy spider Was the first thing that we tried Patty cake, the baker's man With your hands so very small You could always stay this young And I wouldn't mind at all
Days go by so quickly Summer turns to fall Seems like only yesterday That you began to crawl So don't be afraid to take that step I'll catch you when you fall I don't mind if you leave behind A few handprints on the wall
Is Always Over Now? Composer(s): Gerry Morgan First performance by: Dawn Martin - 1998
I never thought that it would end You were the one my love, my friend You were my every dream come true Always, you said, was me and you
So how can you say it's over now? How can you wave it all goodbye? Always, you said, this love would be Always, you said, was you and me
Is always over now? Does it never last that long? Were the feelings that I had Ever right, or was it wrong? To think that love should last Was mistaken on my part But you promised me the earth (You promised me...) And you only broke my heart
You touched my soul You touched my life You always would, you said But now, you are taking always away
Is always over now? Does it never last that long? Were the feelings that I had Ever right, or was it wrong? To think that love should last Was mistaken on my part But you promised me the earth (You promised me...) And you only broke my heart
Is always over now? Does it never last that long? Were the feelings that I had Ever right, or was it wrong? To think that love should last Was mistaken on my part But you promised me the earth (You promised me...) And you only broke my heart (You promised me...)
Handouts In The Rain Composer(s): Richie Havens Performer(s): Richie Havens; Paul Weller
You can talk about your neighbor You can grab him by the collar You can hurt him only if he hollers "Let me go let me go"
But we all know that's old-fashioned And it can only lead to pain Where we might end up on the corner Taking handouts in the rain
You can bomb your foreign brother You can hurt him until he dies You can kill him until he never asks you why You're on his land you're on his land
But we all know that's all over And that can only lead to blame Where we might end up for our country Taking handouts in the rain
You can trample on your sister You can hurt her only if she cries You can hurt her only if she cares With all her heart with all her heart
But we all know she'd be a mother And that could only lead to shame Where she might end up for her children Taking handouts in the rain
Teach your children stories You can fill them full of lies You can make them all despise One another one another
But when they all find out later And they call us by our rightful names And send us shamefully to old age Taking handouts in the rain Taking handouts in the rain Taking handouts in the rain
