    Act Of Contrition
    Composer(s): Madonna
    Performer(s): Madonna



    For thou art the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory
    Forever and ever. Amen.
    Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,
    Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy...

    Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee
    And I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment
    But most of all, because I have offended Thee, oh my God
    Who art all good and deserving of all my love.
    I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace
    To confess my sins, to do penance, to amend my life
    And to avoid the temptations of evil

    Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee
    And I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment
    But most of all, because my God, I have offended Thee
    Who art all good
    Like I knew you would
    And deserving of all my love
    I reserve, I reserve, I reserve
    I reserve, I resolve
    I have a reservation
    I have a reservation!
    What do you mean it's not in the computer??!!

    Wenn Du Mich Noch Magst
    Performer(s): Caterina Valente



    Ja du hast mir sehr weh getan
    Doch ich klage dich niemals an
    Wenn ein Mann eine and're liebt
    ist niemand schuld daran

    Dass ich mir viel zu sicher war
    wurde mir erst viel später klar
    Doch nun hab' ich gehört
    dir soll's nicht gutgeh'n
    und du bist allein

    Wenn du mich noch magst
    wenn du mich noch willst
    wenn du mich noch liebst
    dann komm doch wieder zurück zu mir
    Versuch' noch einmal dein Glück mit mir

    Wenn du mich noch magst
    wenn du mich noch willst
    wenn du mich noch liebst
    dann mach doch einfach die Türe auf
    ich warte nur darauf

    Ich hab' lang drüber nachgedacht
    warum jeder den Fehler macht
    daá er Liebe für selbstverständlich hält
    in seiner Welt

    Erst im Dunkel der Einsamkeit
    sehnt man sich nach Gemeinsamkeit
    Alle Tage nur deine Hand zu halten
    mehr wünsch' ich mir nicht

    Wenn du mich noch magst

    Denn immer noch klingen die Lieder
    die Lieder von einst
    Sie sagen mir
    alles wird wieder
    wird wieder wie einst
    Wenn du mich noch magst
    soll alles and're vergessen sein
    ich bin und bleibe dein

    You don't need no fancy clothes
    Where'd you get them, goodness knows?

    Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

    I don't need no luxuries
    As long as you are understanding
    I'm not difficult to please
    Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

    Well I'm the kind of guy who likes
    To take you as I find you
    So throw away those false eyelashes and
    Act nice, act nice, baby

    Come on baby, hold my hand
    Come on baby, understand, you gotta
    Act nice, act nice and gentle to me
    Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

    Come on baby, hold my hand
    Come on baby, understand, you gotta

    Wenn Alle Ströme Versiegen
    Performer(s): The Hootenanny Singers



    Wenn alle Ströme versiegen
    Wenn Rosen blühen im Schnee
    Wenn keine Vögel mehr fliegen
    kein Fisch mehr schwimmt in der See
    Wenn alle Sterne fallen
    und nachts der Himmel leer
    Erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling
    liebe ich dich nicht mehr

    Wenn winters die Knospen zerspringen
    im Frühling verdorrt jedes Laub
    Wenn keine Kinder mehr singen
    die Berge zerfallen zu Staub
    Strömt Wasser durch die Wüste
    und sind die Städte leer
    erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling
    liebe ich dich nicht mehr

    Erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling
    liebe ich dich nicht mehr

    Covered by multiple other artists



    They're gonna put me in the movies
    they're gonna make a big star out of me
    We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
    and all I got to do is act naturally

    Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
    might win an Oscar you can never tell
    the movies gonna make me a big star
    'Cause I can play the part so well

    Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
    then I know that you will plainly see
    The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
    and all I got to do is act naturally

    We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely
    and begging down upon his bended knee
    I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsal
    all I got to do is act naturally

    Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
    might win an Oscar you can never tell

    'Cause I can plat the part so well

    Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
    then I know that you will plainly see
    The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
    and all I got to do is act naturally

    Wendy, Wendy what went wrong
    Oh so wrong
    We went together for so long

    I never thought a guy could cry
    'Til you made it with another guy
    Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
    Hurt so bad

    Wendy, Wendy don't lose your head
    Lose your head
    Wendy don't believe a word he says

    I can't picture you with him
    His future looks awful dim
    Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
    Hurt so bad

    Wendy I wouldn't hurt you like that
    No no no
    I thought we had our love down pat
    Guess I was wrong

    The farthest thing from my mind
    Was the day that I'd wake up to find
    My Wendy
    Wendy left me alone

    Wendy, Wendy left me alone
    Hurts so bad
    Wendy, Wendy left me alone
    Hurts so bad
    Wendy, Wendy left me alone
    Hurts so bad
    Wendy, Wendy...

    Welterusten Mijnheer De President
    Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot; Lennaert Nijgh
    Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



    Meneer de president, welterusten
    Slaap maar lekker in je mooie witte huis
    Denk maar niet teveel aan al die verre kusten
    Waar uw jongens zitten eenzaam ver van huis

    Denk vooral niet aan die 46 doden
    Die vergissing laatst met dat bombardement
    En vergeet het vierde van die 10 geboden
    Die u als goed Christen zeker kent

    Denk maar niet aan al die jonge frontsoldaten
    Eenzaam stervend in de verre tropennacht
    Laat die bleke pacifistenkliek maar praten
    Meneer de president, slaap zacht

    Droom maar van de overwinning, en de zege
    Droom maar van uw mooie vredesideaal
    Dat nog nooit door bloedig moorden is verkregen
    Droom maar dat het u wel lukken zal ditmaal

    Kijk maar niet naar al die mensen die verrekken
    Hoeveel vrouwen, hoeveel kind'ren zijn vermoord
    Droom maar dat u aan het langste eind zult trekken
    En geloof van al die tegenstand geen woord

    Bajonetten met bloedige gevesten
    Houden ver van hier op uw bevel de wacht
    Voor de glorie en de eer van 't vrije westen
    Meneer de president, slaap zacht

    Schrik maar niet te erg, wanneer u in uw dromen
    Al die schuldeloze slachtoffers ziet staan
    Die daarginds bij het gevecht zijn omgekomen
    En uw vragen hoelang dit nog zo moet gaan

    En u zult toch ook zo langzaamaan wel weten
    Dat er mensen zijn die ziek zijn van 't geweld
    Die het bloed en de ellende niet vergeten
    En voor wie nog steeds een mensenleven telt

    Droom maar niet teveel van al die dooie mensen
    Droom maar fijn van overwinning en van macht
    Denk maar niet aan al die vredeswensen
    Meneer de president, slaap zacht!

    Across This Town And Gone
    Composer(s): Buck Owens - Gene Price
    Performer(s): Buck Owens



    It's time to leave so let me go
    I've just been wasting time
    I'll call you in a year or so
    If I can spare a dime

    We couldn't change the bad to good
    The good Lord knows we tried
    And a one way love just ain't no good
    And I can't live a lie

    So I'll just hit the road a cryin' low
    I'll walk so fast you'll never know
    I'm cryin' and dyin'
    Before one teardrop hits the ground
    I'll be halfway across this town and gone

    Perhaps in time the hurt will heal
    If I just walk away
    I love you so I hate to go
    But there's no other way
    So I'll just hit the road

    Before one teardrop hits the ground
    I'll be halfway across this town and gone...

    Jij En Ik
    Composer(s): Niki Bovendaerde - Roel Van Bambost
    Performer(s): Miek & Roel



    Jij en ik
    Jij en ik
    Wij hebben zoveel woorden
    Maar allen die ons hoorden, voelden zich beroofd

    Van hun geloof, hun ideaal
    Hun levensdoel, hun zegepraal
    Zij schudden met het hoofd

    Zij zeggen 'wat een kwaaie tong'
    Zij zeggen 'ze zijn veel te jong'
    Zij zeggen 'dat beloofd'

    Jij en ik
    Jij en ik
    Wij hebben zoveel liefde
    Maar velen die het griefden, hoe liefdeloos we zijn

    Voor moeders met hun wijde schoot
    Voor God en voor de kerkdespoot
    Voor mannen in de mijn

    Voor kinderen in 't pensionaat
    De blinde man en de soldaat
    Voor vogels op het plein

    Jij en ik
    Jij en ik
    Wij hebben zoveel pretjes
    Met vetjes en met metjes van donker in het bed

    Vertellen we die wel eens voort
    Dan zegt men dat het echt niet hoort
    Tenzij in 't cabaret

    Dat wordt voor ons een goeie zaak
    Je steekt met alles maar de draak
    En krijgt nog een cachet

    Jij en ik
    Jij en ik
    Wij hebben zoveel liedjes
    En ieder voelt zich nietjes die zo niet zingen kan

    Wij zingen van een fijne lach
    Een klein verdriet, een mooie dag
    Of van de zwarte man

    Wij zingen voor de ganse straat
    De buur die op de muren slaat
    Daar zingen wij niet van

    Jij en ik
    Jij en ik
    Wij hebben zoveel dromen
    Maar als de mensen komen vervelen zij zich ziek

    Wij lachen als het echt niet past
    Wij bokken niet, dat is een last
    Wij zijn antipathiek

    Wij hebben ons in droom gehuld
    Men zegt 'het is Roel z'n schuld'
    Maar 't is de schuld van Miek

    Wij hebben ons een droom gehuld
    Men zegt 'het is Roel z'n schuld'
    Maar 't is de schuld van Miek

    My lady love, she stands a'waitin'

    On the banks I hear her callin' to me

    Across the wide Missouri
    A-roll, a-rollaree
    Across the wide Missouri

    For seven years I've been a-roamin'
    Seven years I left the valley
    Now I live just for my true love to see

    A-roll, a-rollaree

    A-roll, a-rollaree
    Across the wide Missouri

    I'm pushin' on when dawn's a-breakin'
    Goin' 'cross the wide Missouri
    Where my love, she stands a-waitin' for me

    Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
    First release by: The Beatles - 1969
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Words are flowing out like
    endless rain into a paper cup
    They slither while they pass
    They slip away across the universe
    Pools of sorrow waves of joy
    are drifting through my open mind
    Possessing and caressing me

    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world

    Images of broken light which
    dance before me like a million eyes
    That call me on and on across the universe
    Thoughts meander like a
    restless wind inside a letter box
    they tumble blindly as
    they make their way across the universe

    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world

    Sounds of laughter shades of earth
    are ringing through my opened ears
    inciting and inviting me
    Limitless undying love which
    shines around me like a million suns
    It calls me on and on across the universe

    We'll Sing In The Sunshine
    Composer(s): Gale Garnett
    Performer(s): Trini Lopez



    We'll sing in the sunshine
    We'll laugh every day
    We'll sing in the sunshine
    Then I'll be on my way

    I will never love you
    The cost of love's too dear
    But though I'll never love you
    I'll stay with you one year

    And we can sing in the sunshine
    We'll laugh every day
    We'll sing in the sunshine
    Then I'll be on my way

    I'll sing to you each morning
    I'll kiss you every night
    But darling, don't cling to me
    I'll soon be out of sight

    But we can sing in the sunshine
    We'll laugh every day
    We'll sing in the sunshine
    Then I'll be on my way

    My daddy he once told me
    'Hey, don't you love you any man'
    'Just take what they may give you'
    'And give but what you can'

    'And you can sing in the sunshine'
    'You'll laugh every day'
    'You'll sing in the sunshine'
    'Then be on your way'

    And when our year has ended
    And I have gone away
    You'll often speak about me
    And this is what you'll say

    'We sang in the sunshine
    'You know, we laughed every day'
    'We sang in the sunshine'
    'Then she went away'

    Across The Sea
    Composer(s): Ernest Kaai - Ray Kinney - John Noble
    Performer(s): Ray Kinney
    and multiple other artists



    Listen to the song the birds are singing
    Of the southern isles across the sea
    Island gems within a coral setting
    Islands of the sunny southern sea

    Bright the sky above with golden sunshine
    Flooding all the lands with warmth and light
    See the palm trees swaying to the ocean
    Whispering songs of love by day and night

    Hui:
    Across the sea and isle is calling me
    Calling to the wanderer to retrun
    Bidding me come back to fair Hawai`i
    To these sunny isles across the sea

    See the surf comes rolling ever onwards
    Meets the land and melts in creamy foam
    Breaks upon the shore and scatters quickly
    Like a million pearls let loose to roam

    Watch the spray which melts in liquid sunshine
    Tossed up from the bosom of the deep
    High above in varied colors forming
    Like the mermaids rising from their sleep

    We'll Rant And We'll Roar
    (Like True Newfoundlanders)
    (aka "Spanish Ladies" or "Farewell And Adieu")
    Composer(s): Le Mesurrier



    My name it is Robert, they call me Bob Pittman
    I sail in the Ino with skipper Tom Brown
    I'm bound to have Dolly or Biddy or Molly
    As soon as I'm able to plank the cash down

    Chorus:
    We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true Newfoundlanders
    We’ll rant and we’ll roar on deck and below
    Until we see bottom inside of two sunkers
    Then straight through the channel to Toslow we’ll go

    I’m the son of a seacook and a cook in a trader
    I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main boom
    I can handle a jigger and I cuts a fine figure
    Whenever I gets in a boat’s standing room

    If the voyage is good then this fall I will do it
    I want two pound ten for a ring and a priest
    A couple of dollars for clean shirts and collars
    And a handful of coppers to make up a feast

    I went to a dance one night in Fox Harbour
    There were plenty of girls as nice as you’d wish
    There was one pretty maiden a-chawing on frankgum
    Just like a young kitten a-knawing fresh fish

    There’s plump little Polly, her name is Goldsworthy
    There’s John Coady’s Kitty and Mary Tibbo
    There’s Clara from Brule and young Martha Foley
    But the nicest of all is my girl from Toslow

    Farewell and adieu to ye fair ones of Valen
    Farewell and adieu to ye ones in the cove
    Now let ye be jolly, don't be melancholy
    For I can’t marry all or in the chokey I’d be

    Farewell and adieu to you girls of Fox Harbour
    Oderin and Presque, Crabbes Hole and Brule
    I’m bound to the westward to the wall with the hole in
    For I can’t marry all or in the chokey I’d be

    Farewell and adieu to ye girls of St. Kyran's
    Of Paradise and Presque, big and little Bona
    I'm bound unto Toslow to marry sweet Biddy
    And if I don't do so, I'm afraid of her da

    I've bought me a house from Katherine Davis
    A twenty-pound bed from Jimmy McGraw
    I'll get me a settle, a pot and a kettle
    And then I'll be ready for Biddy - hurrah!

    Across The Great Divide
    Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
    Performer(s): The Band



    Standin' by your window in pain
    A pistol in your hand
    And I beg you, dear Molly, girl
    Try and understand your man the best you can

    Across The Great Divide
    Just grab your hat, and take that ride
    Get yourself a bride
    And bring your children down to the river side

    I had a goal in my younger days
    I nearly wrote my will
    But I changed my mind for the better
    I'm at the still, had my fill and I'm fit to kill
    Pinball machine, and a queen
    I nearly took a bust
    Tried to keep my hands to myself
    Ya say it's a must, but who can ya trust?
    Harvest moon shinin' down from the sky
    A weary sign for all
    I'm gonna leave this one horse town
    Had t' stall till the fall, now I'm gonna crawl!

    Now Molly dear, don't ya shed a tear
    Your time will surely come
    you'll feed your man chicken ev'ry Sunday
    Now tell me, hon, what-cha done with the gun

    Across The Great Divide
    Just grab your hat, and take that ride
    Get yourself a bride
    And bring your children down to the river side

    Farewell And Adieu
    (aka "Spanish Ladies" or "We'll Rant And We'll Roar (Like True Newfoundlanders)")
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Lesley Nelson-Burns



    Farewell and adieu to you fine Spanish ladies
    Farewell and adieu all you ladies of Spain
    For we've received orders to sail for old England
    And perhaps we shall never more see you again

    Chorus:
    We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
    We'll range and we'll roam over all the salt seas
    Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England
    From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues

    Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'-west, my boys
    Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear
    Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, my boys
    And straight up the Channel of old England did steer

    Chorus

    So the first land we made it is called the Deadman
    Next Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and the Wight
    We sailed hy Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness
    And then bore away for the South Foreland light

    Chorus

    Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor
    All on the Downs that night for to meet
    Then stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters
    Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets

    Chorus

    Now let every man drink up his full bottle
    Let every man drink up his full bowl
    For we will be jolly and drown melancholy
    With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul

    Chorus

    Across The Borderline
    Composer(s): Jim Dickinson - John Hiatt - Ry Cooder
    First release by: Ry Cooder - 1987
    Covered by multiple other artists



    There's a land where I've been told
    Every street is paved with gold
    And it's just across the borderline
    When it's time to take your turn
    Here's a lesson that you must learn
    You can lose more than you'll ever find

    When you reach the broken promise land
    Every dream slips through your hand
    You'll know it's too late to change your mind
    'Cause you paid the price to come to far
    Just to wind up where you are
    And you're still just across the borderline

    Up and down the Rio Grande
    A thousand footprints in the sand
    Reveal the secret no one can define
    The river flows on like a breath
    In between our life and death
    Who's the next to cross the borderline

    Hope remains when pride is gone
    And it keeps you moving on
    Calling you across the borderline

    And you're still just across the borderline
