What Can I Do For You? Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan; and various other artists
You have given everything to me What can I do for You? You have given me eyes to see What can I do for You?
Pulled me out of bondage and You made me renewed inside Filled up a hunger that had always been denied Opened up a door no man can shut and You opened it up so wide And You've chosen me to be among the few What can I do for You?
You have laid down Your life for me What can I do for You? You have explained every mystery What can I do for You?
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie Who would deliver him from the death he's bound to die? Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do What can I do for You?
You have given all there is to give What can I do for You? You have given me life to live How can I live for You?
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart Well, I don't deserve it but I sure did make it through What can I do for You?
Ace Of Hearts Composer(s): Steve Ferrone - Alan Gorrie - Hamish Stuart Performer(s): Average White Band
Just to be with you now is one thing I can't imagine 'Cos the part you play today is the one that was missing And from where I stand right now I can see - so clearly that with every passing day I want more of this magic
You're the ace of hearts number one in everything that comes to mind I think about it all the time how you won my heart - easy, Easy was the game you played - Easy 'cos you had it made
So you see what you have done and there's no way to undo it I have only just begun to understand it Now on thing is clear to me there is love and there is real love and the only way to know is feel what I'm feeling
You're the ace of hearts number one in everything that comes to mind I think about it all the time how you won my heart - easy Easy was the game you played - Easy 'cos you had it made
Al ben ik meer dan eens de weg kwijt En rij ik hele einden om Al zou ik niet weten waar je woont Ik ben op weg om je te vinden Dus wees gerust vannacht ik kom
Ik zal eindeloos blijven reizen Zelfs al mis ik de laatste trein Ik wil alleen maar bij je zijn
Al leiden honderdduizend wegen Allemaal naar een ander doel Al zou ik niet weten wie je bent Ik ben op weg om je te vinden Vannacht rij ik op m'n gevoel
Laten we er niet aan denken Hoeveel wegen er nog zijn Ik wil alleen maar bij je zijn
Al zou ik niet weten waar ik vandaan kom En ook niet wat ik gister deed Ik weet alleen maar wat ik wil Ik ben op weg om je te vinden En ik weet dat jij dat weet
Hoe ver het ook is, hoe lang de wegen Vanavond is de wereld klein Ik wil alleen maar bij je zijn
Hoe ver het ook is, hoe lang de wegen Vanavond is de wereld klein Want ik wil bij je zijn Ik wil alleen maar bij je zijn
Weer Gelukkig Zijn Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Andy Free Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Klamp je vast aan wat je wereld nog kan geven Ook al draait die niet zo rond meer als voorheen Laat je zorgen en problemen niet regeren Over alles wat je lief is om je heen In het diepst van onze donker grauwste nachten Houden jij en ik ons laatste wapen klaar Want in liefde schuilen ongewone krachten Die de mensen weer doen leven voor elkaar
Weer gelukkig zijn Veel meer tederheid Weer tevreden zijn Dat is 't geheim Weer gelukkig zijn Meer genegenheid Meer gezelligheid En neem meer tijd
Geef je kleren weer de kleuren van de vreugde Laat je in die grijze mensenmassa zien Durf je weer in elke morgen te verheugen En geniet van wat het toeval heeft voorzien Stop een glimlach in de motor van je leven Speel weer Romeo op zoek naar romantiek Durf weer vrijen met de zwier van 007 En slik elke dag je dosis fantasie
Weer gelukkig zijn Veel meer tederheid Weer tevreden zijn Dat is 't geheim Weer gelukkig zijn Meer genegenheid Meer gezelligheid En neem meer tijd Weer gelukkig zijn Veel meer tederheid Weer tevreden zijn Dat is 't geheim Weer gelukkig zijn Meer genegenheid Meer gezelligheid En neem meer tijd Weer gelukkig zijn Veel meer tederheid Weer tevreden zijn
Ace In The Hole Composer(s): Dennis Adkins Performer(s): George Strait
You've got to have an ace in the hole A little secret that nobody knows Life is a gamble, a game we all play But you need to save something for a rainy day You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life Don't put it all on the line for just one roll You've got to have an ace in the hole
If you're headed down a one way street And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go In money or love, or all the above Have a little more than what you show When life deals out a surprise Have a few surprises of your own No matter what you do, no matter where you go You've got to have an ace in the hole
You've got to have an ace in the hole A little secret that nobody knows Life is a gamble, a game we all play But you need to save something for a rainy day You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life Don't put it all on the line for just one roll You've got to have an ace in the hole
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll You've got to have an ace in the hole No matter what you do, no matter where you go You've got to have an ace in the hole
Weep No More My Lady (Let Me See Your Smile) Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert
Harold Jones he courted little Josephine
and what a queen, was Josephine 'Till she started reading Laura Libbey Jean and now's she lost her little winning disposition no more loving sunny smile, sobbing, sighing, all the while Harold couldn't stand it, so he said "My dear, I want to say right here"
Crazy 'bout the photo play is Josephine the crying scene up on the screen reads a novel of every night and in between woeful Josie cries enough to fill a bucket 'fact I've heard some people say, she read "Three Weeks" in one day Every time it's raining Harold always sneers "Those are Josie's tears"
Weep no more my lady I want to see your sunny smile! Stop now, stop now you weeping willow! All night you cry upon your pillow Weep no more my lady can't you stop that for awhile I know you show you're temperamental, but it won't go please don't be sentimental, 'cause you won me with your wonderful smile
Weekend In New England Composer(s): Randy Edelman Performer(s): Barry Manilow; and various other artists
Last night, I waved goodbye, now it seems years I'm back in the city, where nothin' is clear But thoughts of me, holdin' you, bringin' us near
Chorus And tell me When will our eyes meet? When can I touch you? When will this strong yearnin' end? And when will I hold you again?
Time in New England, took me away Long rocky beaches and you by the bay We started a story whose end must now wait
Chorus
I feel the change comin', I feel the wind blow I feel brave and daring!, I feel my blood flow, oh With you I could bring out all the love that I have With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad
Accroche Un Ruban ((Adapted from: Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round The Ole Oak Tree (by Dawn & Tony Orlando) - 1973 Composer(s): Irwin Levine - L. Russell Brown - Jean Broussolle Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1973
J'ai fait trois ans J'ai fait mon temps Pendant trente-six mois Je n'ai pensé qu'à toit Si tu as reçu mon mot Comme quoi j'arrivais bientôt... Tu sais ce que tu dois faire Si tu m'aimes encore... Si tu m'aimes encore...
Accroche un ruban au bord de ton balcon Ce sera ta façon de dire oui ou non Et s'il n'y a pas de ruban au bord du balcon Moi dans mon taxi, j'aurai vite compris Que tout est fini... S'il n'y a pas de ruban au bord de ton balcon...
Monsieur l'taxi Je vous en prie... Regardez pour moi Moi je ne pourrai pas... J'ai si peur qu'elle ne m'aime plus Je suis complètement perdu... D'un simple ruban, mais oui Dépend toute ma vie... Car, j'avais écrit...
Accroche un ruban au bord de ton balcon Ce sera ta façon de dire oui ou non Et s'il n'y a pas de ruban au bord du balcon Moi dans mon taxi, j'aurai vite compris Que tout est fini... S'il n'y a pas de ruban au bord de ton balcon...
Soudains je n'en crois pas mes yeux Car je vois à l'horizon... Des milliers de rubans Au bord de ton balcon...
The weekend is near You're planning what to do The parents are out There's a party at stews You're discussing at lunch Talking to your friend Telling him how you want some beer How you want school to end The clock in your face Sitting in your last class Today's a Friday You need some beer in your glass The bell just rang So you run to your car You tell the boys to come over So you make your house look like a bar You're bearly under-age So you need a pull-out Get me Mickeys and Corona And some lime with no doubt

I'm comin' home, I've done my time Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free Then you'll know just what to do If you still want me If you still want me

Weekend Composer(s): Gerard Koerts; C. Koerts; H. Ziech Performer(s): Earth And Fire

Love in a woman's heart I wanna have the whole and not a part it's strange that this feeling is growing more and more 'cause I've never loved someone before
Weeds Composer(s): Nick Banks; Jarvis Cocker; Candida Doyle; Steve Mackey; Mark Webber Performer(s): Pulp
We came across the North Sea with our carriers on our knees Wound up in some holding camp somewhere outside Leeds Because we do not care to fight, my friends - we are the weeds Because we got no homes they call us smelly refugees Ah
We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth Thru' cracks in the pavement: there weeds will grow - the places you don't go This cut-price dairy produce that turns our bones to dust You want some entertainment? Go on, shove it up me - if you must Make believe you're so turned on by planting trees and shrubs But you come round to visit us when you fancy booze 'n' drugs Ah
We are weeds, vegetation, etc. If you think it's a crime We'd like to get you out of your mind It's just a matter of time, yeah We'd like to get you out of your mind Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah We'd like to get you out of your mind For a little time: for all time Weed
Dieu que la vie est cruelle Au musicien des ruelles Son copain son compagnon C'est l'accordéon Qui c'est-y qui l'aide à vivre À s'asseoir quand il s'enivre C'est-y vous, c'est moi, mais non C'est l'accordéon
Accordez accordez accordez donc L'aumône à l'accordé l'accordéon
Ils sont comme cul et chemise Et quand on les verbalise Il accompagne au violon Son accordéon Il passe une nuit tranquille Puis au matin il refile Un peu d'air dans les poumons De l'accordéon
Accordez accordez accordez donc L'aumône à l'accordé l'accordéon.
Quand parfois il lui massacre Ses petits boutons de nacre Il en fauche à son veston Pour l'accordéon Lui, emprunte ses bretelles Pour secourir la ficelle Qui retient ses pantalons En accordéon
Accordez accordez accordez donc L'aumône à l'accordé l'accordéon.
Mais un jour par lassitude Il laissera la solitude Se pointer à l'horizon De l'accordéon Il en tirera cinquante Centimes à la brocante Et on fera plus attention À l'accordéon
Wee, Wee, Marie (Will Yo Do Zis For Me) Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Joe McCarthy; Fred Fisher
Poor Johnny's heart went pitty pat Somewhere in sunny France He met a girl by chance with ze naughty naughty glance She looked just like a kitty kitty cat She loved to dance and play Tho' he learned no French when he left the trench He knew well enough to say
They walked along the boule boulevard He whispered "You for me Some day in gay Paree I will make you marry me" Just then a bunch of bully bully boys Threw kisses on the sly Marie got wise when they rolled their eyes They sang as they passed her by
Wee Wee Marie, will you do zis for me Wee Wee Marie, then I'll do zat for you I love your eyes they make me feel so spoony You'll drive me loony, you're teasing me Why can't we parleyvous like other sweethearts do I want a kiss or two from Ma Cherie Wee Wee Marie, if you'll do zis for me Then I'll do zat for you Wee Wee Marie
Accidents Will Happen Composer(s): Elvis Costello Performer(s): Elvis Costello
Oh I just don't know where to begin Though he says he'll wait forever It's now or never But she keeps him hanging on The silly champion She says she can't go home Without a chaperone
Accidents will happen We only hit and run He used to be your victim Now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen We only hit and run I don't want to hear it 'Cause I know what I've done
There's so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury But they keep you hanging on They say you're so young Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone
And it's the damage that we do And never know It's the words that we don't say That scare me so
There's so many people to see So many people you can check up on And add to your collection But they keep you hanging on Until you're well hung Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone
And it's the damage that we do And never know It's the words that we don't say That scare me so
