Wien, Du Stadt Meiner Träume English Title: Vienna, City Of My Dreams (aka Vienna, My City Of Dreams) Composer(s): Rudolf Sieczynski Performer(s): André Rieu; Lottie Lehmann
Mein Herz und mein Sinn Schwärmt stets nur für Wien Für Wien, wie es weint, wie es lacht! Da kenn ich mich aus Da bin i halt z'Haus Bei Tag und noch mehr bei der Nacht Und keiner bleibt kalt Ob jung oder alt Der Wien, wie es wirklich ist, kennt Müßt' ich einmal fort Von dem schönen Ort Da nähm' meine Sehnsucht kein End Dann hört' ich aus weiter Ferne ein Lied Das klingt und singt, das lockt und zieht
Refrain: Wien, Wien, nur du allein Sollst stets die Stadt meiner Träume sein! Dort, wo die alten Häuser stehn Dort, wo die lieblichen Mädchen gehn! Wien, Wien, nur du allein Sollst stets die Stadt meiner Träume sein! Dort, wo ich glücklich und selig bin Ist Wien, ist Wien, mein Wien!
Bei jeder Gaudé Na, Sie wissen's eh Bin ich allemal gleich dabei Ich b'halt mein Hamur Bis spät in der Fruah Mir ist alles dann allerlei Und wenn ich beim Wein Dann sitze zu zwein Und sehnend ein Arm mich umschlingt Wenn heimlich und leis' Der Heimat zum Preis Ein Straußischer Walzer erklingt Dann hört' ich aus weiter Ferne ein Lied Das klingt und singt, das lockt und zieht
Refrain:
Ob ich will oder net Nur hoff' ich recht spät Muß ich einmal fort von der Welt Geschieden muß sein Von Liebe und Wein Weil alles, wie's kommt auch vergeht Ah, das wird ganz schön Ich brauch' ja nicht z'gehn Ich flieg' doch in' Himmel hinauf Dort setz' ich mich hin Schau runter auf Wien Der Steffel, der grüßt ja herauf Dann hört' ich aus weiter Ferne ein Lied Das klingt und singt, das lockt und zieht
Refrain:
In Sturm und in Not Von Feinden umdroht Steht Österreich aufrecht und hehr Von Helden umweht Mit funkelndem Schwert In eiserner, schirmender Wehr! Wo Lied und Gesang Im Frieden erklang Ertönt jetzt Trompetensignal! Aus sanftem Gemüt Erstarkt und erblüht Ein Heldengeschlecht ohne Zahl! Und wenn dann im Feld der Schlummer euch flieht Ertöne leis von ferne das Lied

All Roads To The River Composer(s): Janis Ian - Jon Vezner Performer(s): Janis Ian; Jon Vezner
I am master and slave I am sunlight and shadow I am all roads to the river I am lost, I am saved I am beloved and betrayed All roads to the river
And the river runs wide The river runs deep And I spit in the eye of safe company When I dive right down to the undertow The deeper I drown, the higher I go
I am whispering dreams I am howling revolutions (revolutions) All roads to the river I am valentine sweet I am every mother's nightmare (nightmare) All road to the river
The river runs wide The river runs deep I spit in the eye of safe company Gonna dive right down to the undertow 'Cause the deeper I drown, the higher I go
I dream of still water Silent and clear But I run for the thunder That'll drown my fear
And he river runs wide The river runs deep And I spit in the eye of safe company Gonna dive right down to the undertow 'Cause the deeper I drown, higher I go

Ich wohn' alleine mit Mama In einem alten Haus ganz nah Bei dem Theater Und da ich immer einsam war Hab' ich noch ein Kanari-Paar Und einen Kater Mama strengt alle Arbeit an Ich geh' zum Markt und koche dann Mit viel Routine Ich wasche ab und mache rein Und näh', sollt' es nötig sein Auf der Maschine Mir macht fast jede Arbeit Spaß Weil ich Gefühl für Form und Maß Und Stil besitze Doch nachts erwacht erst mein Genie Denn in der Kunst der Travestie Da bin ich Spitze Bewundert ist mein Striptease-Akt Am Ende steh' ich völlig nackt Ich kann das wagen Und alle Gäste rings im Raum Die trauen ihren Augen kaum Ich bin ein Homo, wie sie sagen
Mit Freunden wird die Nacht gezecht Da wird nach Neigung und Geschlecht Nicht unterschieden In irgendeiner Bar am Eck Da spült man die Komplexe weg Und ist zufrieden Wir reden von den Leuten dann Die unsereins nicht riechen kann Die wir entsetzen Wir spotten mit Humor und Geist Mit scharfem Witz, der lachend beißt Statt zu verletzen Mitunter finden Kerle sich Die suchen laut und lächerlich uns nachzumachen Sie haben Freude wie ein Kind Uns arme Teufel, die wir sind Noch auszulachen Sie sind im Ton und Gang bemüht So, wie man uns von außen sieht Sich zu betragen Wenn es auch mancher übelnimmt Mich läßt es kalt, weil es ja stimmt Ich bin ein Homo, wie sie sagen
Wenn dann der neue Tag erwacht Kehr' ich zurück in meine Nacht Der Einsamkeiten Das Kleid und die Perücke fällt Ich bin ein Clown vor aller Welt Nur da zu leiden Ich schlafe nicht, ich liege wach Ich träume Liebesstunden nach Die freudlos blieben Und von dem Jungen, der - verdammt - Mich immer wieder neu entflammt Ihn heiß zu lieben Doch keinem werd' ich dieses Leid Den süßen Schmerz der Zärtlichkeit Je anvertrauen Er, der zum Wahnsinn mich gebracht Liegt nämlich leider jede Nacht Im Bett bei Frauen Nein, keiner hat von euch das Recht Hier als entartet oder schlecht Mich anzuklagen Der Grund, daß ich so anders bin Liegt von Natur aus in mir drin Ich bin ein Homo, wie sie sagen
All Roads Lead To You Composer(s): Marc Beeson - Desmond Child Performer(s): Chicago
Headed north on a one-way trip I never thought I'd be back this way I never thought I'd be missing you Enough to suffer for the whole night through Headed south and I didn't look back I rode the wind off a beaten track Tried running from the thought of you Haunted down by what I know is true
To the north To the south It don't matter Every road leads to you
(I'm coming home)
All roads lead to you Wherever I go Everytime I told you I was just passing through What my heart didn't know, was all roads lead to you Headed east on an amtrak train I hit the city in the pouring rain I never thought I'd be calling you Every hour from that hotel room Headed west on a jumbo jet I rode off into the red sunset I stood there knocking on the devil's door Wondering what the hell iõm searchin' for
To the east To the west It don't matter Every road leads to you
(I'm coming home)
All roads lead to you Wherever I go Everytime I told you I was just passing through What my heart didn't know, was all roads lead to you
All my life, the winding road I've followed, has led me straight to your arms
All roads lead to you (gotta get back to you, baby) Wherever I go (ah, yeah, yeah) Everytime I told you I was just passing through What my heart didn't know, was all roads lead to you
I'm coming home to you , baby, oooooo
All roads lead to you (I'm coming home) All roads lead to you (never goin' away again) All roads lead to you (ah, ha, yeah) All roads lead to you All roads lead to you (gotta get back to you, woman) All roads lead to you All roads lead to you All roads lead to you
Wie Leeft Met Je Mee
((Adapted from: Don't Leave Me This Way (Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes) - 1975))
Composer(s): Kenny Gamble - Leon Huff - Cary Gilbert - Mary Boduin
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre - 1997
Wie leeft met je mee Als je vermoeid neervalt in je stoel Je ogen sluit en afvraagt Wie leeft met je mee Wanneer je denkt Hoe alleen je bent Dat het nooit went Wie leeft met je mee
Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken Dat jij bij mij zoals altijd jezelf mag zijn Jij die weet hoe enkel jij mij happy maakt En hoe je mij in mijn diepste gedachten raakt Dat ik hier op je wacht en oh ik droom ervan Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan
Wie leeft met je mee Als het niet gaat Alles tegenslaat Je weg wil gaan Wie leeft met je mee, oh
Wie leeft met je mee Geef je haar tijd En gelegenheid Voor tederheid Wie leeft met je mee
Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken Dat jij bij mij zoals altijd jezelf mag zijn Jij die weet hoe enkel jij mij happy maakt En hoe je mij in mijn diepste gedachten raakt Dat ik hier op je wacht en oh ik droom ervan Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan Beginnen kan
Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken Wie leeft met je mee
Wie leeft met je mee Als het niet gaat Alles tegenslaat Je weg wil gaan En afvraagt Wie leeft met je mee Geef je haar tijd En gelegenheid Voor tederheid Wie leeft met je mee
Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken Dat jij bij mij zoals altijd jezelf mag zijn Jij die weet hoe enkel jij mij happy maakt En hoe je mij in mijn diepste gedachten raakt Dat ik hier op je wacht en oh ik droom ervan Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan Hoe alles weer opnieuw beginnen kan Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken Dat jij bij mij zoals altijd jezelf mag zijn Baby
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
Someone said you was, runnin round Like you owned the world Its no secret, youre the talk of the town You know, the best of the girls

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
