Wie Kan Me Nog Vertellen? Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Wie kan me nog vertellen Van de vroege morgenstond Met goudsel in de mond Waar de dichters over dichten Hoe laat kwam toen die eerste zwaluw uit het zomerfront Gemeten in boezeroen Om de schoonmaak te verlichten De melkman om vier uur op om koeien te gaan melken Om eieren te gaan melken bij de kippen op de stok En in de straat de vullisman die niemand wil begroeten Gezicht vol honingsproeten Verdiende toen een meier Bij dode spullen man Waar is die zoete gouwe tijd Waar is die in de gauwigheid Leven ik hou van jou altijd
Er werd nogal gesproken over Kraai de kanselein Z'n lichaam deed 'm pijn want hij leed toen aan de tering Maar verder was het leven goed en ieder was tevreden Er werd veel fiets gereden en men leefde van de nering Alleen op zondag was het stil Dan sliep men in de kerken Dat was heel goed te merken want de collecte was nihil En 's avonds als het donker was dan ging je op de beren Daar stoven dan de heren totdat de nacht verdomde En de dag gebroken was Waar is die zee, die gouwe tijd Waar is ie in de gauwigheid Leven ik hou van jou altijd
Wie kan me nog vertellen van de eerste vliegmachien Heeft u het nog gezien hoe ie naar beneden stortte Nu grinnikt u, maar u grinnikt niet als u te pletter vliegt Een vliegtuig is een smiecht waar niet mee valt te spotten En onze straat ging nooit tekeer Geen auto's en geen fietsers Geen bussen en geen fietsers want die had je toen niet meer Zo was het leven nog een storm vol sagen en legenden Vol wagen en bekenden Gereed om uit te rukken Bij de eerste koude vorst Waar is die zilte kouwe tijd Waar is die in de gauwigheid Leven ik hou van jou altijd
Wie kan me nog vertellen van die dagen in 't verleden Het valt me nogal tegen om tot ziens te moeten tellen
All Right Composer(s): Christopher Cross - Dean Dinning - Randy Guss - Todd Nichols - Glen Phillips Performer(s): Christopher Cross
I know, I know what's on your mind And I know it gets tough sometimes But you can give it one more try Find a reason why You should pick it up And try it again
'Cause it's all right I think we're gonna make it I think it might just work out this time It's all right I think we're gonna make it I think it might work out fine this time It's all right I think we're gonna make it I think it might just work out 'Cause it's not too late for that Too late for me (love)
I know I've been hurt before And I know I really shouldn't give any more But this time This time things seem just a little different And when I look in your eyes You know I can see that it's true And I hear you say it's all right
Just when you feel helpless Nothing left to say Love will find us The past behind us Then we're on our way
Time and time again I see People so unsure like me We all know it gets hard sometimes You can give it one more try Find another reason why You should pick it up You should kick it up And try it again
All Quiet On The Western Front Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
All quiet on the Western Front, nobody saw A youth asleep in the foreign soil, planted by the war Feel the pulse of human blood pouring forth See the stems of Europe bend under force
All quiet All quiet All quiet on the Western Front
So tired of this garden's grief, nobody cares Old kin kiss the small white cross, their only souvenir See the Prussian offense fly, weren't we grand To place the feel of cold sharp steel in their hands
It's gone all quiet on the Western Front, male angels sigh Ghosts float in a flooded trench as Germany dies Fever reaps the flowers of France, fair-haired boys String the harps to Victory's voice, joyous noise
All Over Town Composer(s): Myles Goodwyn Performer(s): April Wine

Wide, Wide River Composer(s): Lionel Goldbart; Ken Weaver Performer(s): The Fugs
River of shit River of shit Flow on, flow on, river of shit Right from my toes On up to my nose Flow on, flow on, river of shit I've been swimming In this river of shit More than 20 years And I'm getting tired of it Don't like swimming Hope it'll run dry Got to go on swimming 'Cause I don't want to die
Oh I can feel another 1000 years Of the flapjacks of Sorrow! Unless! Unless we make 2000 A.D.! 2000 A.D. Our glorious deadline A glorious deadline to make the World a better place! Or else the flapjacks of sorrow Are going to slide down our throats Slide down our throats For another millenium Of pain and war and oppression And all our children's children's children's Children's children children Shall have to wade and to swim In the same grim river In which we now swim Sing along with us Sing sing sing sing sing sing sing sing! (Repeat first verse)
All Over The World Composer(s): Françoise Hardy Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
All over the world, people must meet and part There's someone like me feeling the pain in their heart Some may meet agin, under that same white star If maybe some night you come back from afar Who cares if tonight I don't know where you are?
Are you thinking of me now Missing having me around? If you have forgotten me My world will come tumbling down
All over the world, others are sad tonight There's someone like me watching the sun's fading light All over the sky there is the same warm glow Here under that star I'm wanting you to know Wherever you are, that I still love you so
Wide Eyed And Legless Composer(s): Andy Fairweather Low Performer(s): Andy Fairweather Low
Wherever I go and whatever I do I seem to spend some of my time Trying to turn the black night, blue Well Im tired of it all Its the same thing every night But the rhythm of the glass Is stronger than the rhythm of night
Wide eyed and legless Ive gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I cant get free from these chains Oh, oh-oh
Wide eyed and legless Ive gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I cant get free from these chains Oh, oh-oh
Ive been here before But this time it feels like the end I shouldve known better, I know But my memorys no friend Well, Ive tried every thing That I know will get rid of this fling And I cant understand Why Im wide eyed and legless again
Wide eyed and legless Ive gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I cant get free from these chains Oh, oh-oh
Wicked Messenger Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): The Small Faces; and various other artists
There was a wicked messenger from Eli he did come With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter When questioned who had sent for him he answered with a thumb For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall it was there that he made his bed Often times he could be seen returning Until one day he just appeared with a note in his hand which read "The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"
The leaves began to fallin' And the seas began to part And the people that confronted him were many And he was told these last few words Which opened up his heart "If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
All Over The Place Composer(s): Andrew Eyton - Noel Gay Performer(s): Billy Thorburn and multiple other artists
All over the place Wherever the sea may happen to be A sailor is found, knocking around All over the place
All over the place The North and the South the East or the West There's half of the world tattooed on his chest And all over the place
All around the universe in any port of call Getting his fun, the son of a gun Never staying very long in any place at all He's here, he's there, he's every-bloomin'-where
He's all over the place The ladies adore to get him ashore He's theirs for the day And then he's away All over the place
Wichita Lineman Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Glen Campbell
I am a lineman for the county And I drive the main road Searchin' in the sun for another overload I hear you singing in the wires I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation But it don't look like rain And if it snows that that stretch down south Won't ever stand the strain And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
All Over Nothing At All Composer(s): J. Keirn Brennan - Paul Cunningham - James Rule
Our dreaming, our scheming, was all in vain One lover's quarrel brought endless pain We had a wonderful start Who ever thought we would part?
How could we, why should we say it's the end Is this the one break nothing can mend? When there is so much at stake Why let our hearts ache and ache?
All over nothing at all Was our affections so small? Must I go on living like this Without the bliss of a sweet kiss? I'm so sorry I made you cry We could patch it up if we'd try Why must we both say Good Bye All over nothing at all!
Why'd Ya Make Me Fall In Love Composer(s): Walter Donaldson Performer(s): Benny Goodman; Glenn Miller
Why'd ya make me fall in love Why'd ya mention stars above Why'd ya make me fall in love with you? When I thought that love was blind Why'd ya make me change my mind Why'd ya make me fall in love with you? Fine thing Mister Smarty Fine thing thought you had a party Why'd ya make me fall so hard Should-a stayed in your own backyard Why'd ya make me fall in love with you?
All Over Composer(s): Phoebe Snow Performer(s): Phoebe Snow
Nine of diamonds, Nine of diamonds Lord, that's a lucky card We'll celebrate it, when we've made it I'll jump all over your yard I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over... I don't know what hit me but I'm seeing Stars This comic book life is like being on Mars Thousands of warm hands are touching me All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over The night queen fright wig street Parade may fade When we laugh at the statues of gods we have made Oceans of love-waves are washing me All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over Nine of diamonds, Nine of diamonds Lord, that's a lucky card We'll celebrate it, when we've made it I'll jump all over your yard I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over... When you feel that your train of thought's been derailed Let out your wild wishes from where they've been jailed You feel the future embracing you All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over
Something is going wrong With the singer and the song And the music isn't gentle anymore There's a mist across the moon And the sun's too hot at noon And the house is dark behind the broken door Where the flowers used to grow With their leaves are hanging low And the constant shadow lies across the floor There's a strange and empty sky Where the wild birds used to fly And I never tasted bitter rain before
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky Will the golden flower wither soon and die Will the fire burn out the land And the sea fill-up with sand Will the last word ever spoken be why? Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Someone's lost the plan For the brotherhood of man And no one's trying to find it anymore And the winds become a sigh For those who hate and those who die And the waves are black and slow along the shore
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky Will the golden flower wither soon and die Will the fire burn out the land And the sea fill-up with sand Will the last word ever spoken be why? Will the last word ever spoken be why, why, why? Will the last word ever spoken be Why?
All Out Of Love ((French Version: Avec Ou Sans Toi (by Dave) - 1981)) Composer(s): Graham Russell - Clive Davis First release by: Air Supply - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm lying alone With my head on the phone Thinking of you till it hurts I know you're hurt too But what else can we do? Tormented and torn apart I wish I could carry y Our smile and my heart For times when my life seems so low It would make me believe What tomorrow could bring When today doesn't really know Doesn't really know
I'm all out of love I'm so lost without you I know you were right Believing for so long I'm all out of love What am I without you I can't be too late To say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back And carry me home Away from these long lonely nights I'm waiting for you Are you feeling it too Does the feeling seem oh so right And what would you say If I called on you now And said that I can't hold on There's no easy way It gets harder each day Please love me or I'll be gone I'll be gone
Oh, what are you thinking of? What are you thinking of? Oh, what are you thinking of? What are you thinking of?
Why Worry Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits
Baby I see this world has made you sad Some people can be bad The things they do, the things they say But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears I'll chase away those restless fears That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now
Baby when I get down I turn to you And you make sense of what I do I know it isn't hard to say But baby just when this world seems mean and cold Our love comes shining red and gold And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain There should be sunsh ine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now
