I've been waiting here so long For someone I can talk to Coz I know where we went wrong But it's really not the time or place To talk about the problems Now I've got you face to face I'll tell you what I'm thinking of Imagine how my heart feels Now I know I'm still in love Oh please don't cry But I need to tell you one more time I didn't mean to hurt you I never meant to complicate your life If I can hold you 'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight Please don't look away I've tried to say I'm sorry For the things I never said We can talk about who's to blame But it really doesn't matter I'm so tired of playing games Oh please don't cry But I need to tell you one more time I didn't mean to hurt you I never meant to complicate your life If I can hold you 'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight Oh please don't cry But I need to tell you one more time I didn't mean to hurt you I never meant to complicate your life If I can hold you 'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight

What would you think if I sang out of tune Would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away (Does it worry you to be alone?) How do I feel by the end of the day (Are you sad because you're on your own?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody I need somebody to love Could it be anybody I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time What do you see when you turn out the light I can't tell you but I know it's mine
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody, I just need someone to love Could it be anybody, I want somebody to love
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends with a little help from my friends
Alone Composer(s): Tom Kelly - Billy Steinberg First release by: i-TEN - 1983 Covered by multiple other artists
I hear the ticking of the clock I'm lying here the room's pitch dark I wonder where you are tonight No answer on the telephone And the night goes by so very slow Oh I hope that it won't end though Alone
Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone
You don't know how long I have wanted to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh You don't know how long I have waited and I was going to tell you tonight But the secret is still my own and my love for you is still unknown Alone
Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone

(Dutch Version: As 'T Efkes Kan, Ja Dan)
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway, Gordon Dilworth, Rod McLennan and multiple other artists
The Lord above gave man an arm of iron So he could do his job and never shirk The Lord above gave man an arm of iron But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck Someone else will do the blinkin' work (With a little bit, with a little bit) (With a little bit of luck you'll never work)
The Lord above made liquor for temptation To see if man could turn away from sin The Lord above made liquor for temptation But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck When temptation comes you'll give right in (With a little bit, with a little bit) (With a little bit of luck you'll give right in)
Oh you can walk the straight and narrow But with a little bit of luck you'll run amok
The gentle sex was made for man t'marry To share his nest and see his food is cooked The gentle sex was made for man t'marry But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck You can have it all and not get hooked (With a little bit, with a little bit) (With a little bit of luck you won't get hooked) (With a little bit, with a little bit) (With a little bit of bloomin' luck)
The Lord above made man to help his neighbor No matter where on land or sea or foam The Lord above made man to help his neighbor But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck When he comes around you won't be home!! (With a little bit, with a little bit) (With a little bit of luck you won't be home)
They're always throwing goodness at you But, with a little bit of luck a man can duck
Oh it's a crime for man to go philanderin' And fill his wife's poor heart with grief and doubt Oh it's a crime for man to go philanderin' But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck You can see the bloodhound don't find out (With a little bit, with a little bit) (With a little bit of luck she won't find out) (With a little bit, with a little bit) (With a little bit of bloomin' luck)
A man was made to help support his children Which is the right and proper thing to do A man was made to help support his children But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck They'll go out and start supporting you (With a little bit, with a little bit) (With a little bit of luck they'll work for you)

I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke I could make a woman hang on every single stroke I was an iron man I had a master plan But I was alone
I could hear you breathing With a sigh of the wind I remember how your body started trembling Oh, what a night it's been And for the state I'm in I'm still alone
And all the wonders made for the Earth And all the hearts in all creation Somehow I always end up alone Always end up alone
So I play, I'll wait 'Cause you know that love takes time We came so far Just the beat of a lonely heart And it's mine I don't want to be alone
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone And since you're busy every minute. I just stay at home I make believe you care I feel you everywhere But I'm still alone
I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate 'Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate Am I the subject of the pain An I the stranger in the rain I am alone
And if there glory there to behold Maybe it's my imagination Another story there to be told
So I play, I'll wait And I pray it's not too late We came so far Just a beat of a lonely heart And it's mine I don't want to be alone
And all the wonders made for the Earth And all the hearts in all creation Another story there to be told
So I play, I'll wait And I pray it's not too late We came so far Just a beat of a lonely heart And it's mine I don't want to be alone
Gone, but not out of sight I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home Face the heat of the night The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone
Shine and search for the light And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean
And clean out of sight I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
With A Gun Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan
I could be wrong but I have seen your face before You were the man that I saw running from his door You owed him money but you gave him something more With a gun With a gun You will be what you are just the same Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand And leave him lying in the rain?
You were the founders of the clinic on the hill Until he caught you with your fingers in the till He slapped your hand so you settled up your bill
With a gun With a gun You will be what you are just the same Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand And leave him lying in the rain?
When youre born to play the fool And youve seen all the western movies Woe to the one who does you wrong You hide in the bushes Murder the man With luger in hand
I understood that you will soon be leavin town Dont try to call me when they finally run you down Just give fair warning any time you come around
With a gun With a gun You will be what you are just the same Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand And leave him lying in the rain?

Witchy Woman Composer(s): Bernie Leadon; Don Henley Performer(s): The Eagles
Raven hair and ruby lips Sparks fly from her finger tips Echoed voices in the night She's a restless spriit on an endless flight Woo-hoo witchy woman, see how high she flies Woo-hoo witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes She held me spellbound in the night Dancing shadows and firelight Crazy laughter in another room You know she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon Ah I know you want to love her, but let me tell you brother She's been sleeping in the devil's bed There's some rumors going round Someone's underground She can rock you in the night until your skin turns red
Alô, liberdade Desculpa eu vir Assim sem avisar Mas já era tarde E os galos tão Cansados de cantar
Bom dia, alegria A minha companhia Vai cantar Sutil melodia Pra te acordar
Quem vai querer tocar trombeta Pem pererém pererém Pempem Quem vai querer tocar matraca Tracatracatraca Tracatraca Quem vai de flauta e clarineta Fi firiri Firiri fifi Quem é que vai de prato e facaa Taca cheque taca Chequetaca checá Quem vai querer sair da banda Pan pararan Pararan panpan Hoje a banda sairá
Alô, liberdade levante, lava o rosto Fica em pé Como é, liberdade ... Vou ter que requentar O teu café
Bom dia, alegria A minha companhia Vai cantar Em doce harmonia Pra te alegrar
Quem vem com a boca no trombone Pom pororom pororom pompom Quem vem com a bossa no pandeiro Chá carachá Carachá chachá E quem toca só toca telefone Trim tiririm Tiririm trimtrim E quem só canta no chuveiro Trá tralalá Tralalá lalá Quem vai querer sair na banda Pan panpan Hoje a banda sairá Laiaralaialaialaiá Hoje a banda sairá Olá, liberdade!
Neem Eens Een Kind Bij De Hand ((Ode Aan Maastricht (Benny Neyman) - 1979)) ((Adapted from: Prendre Un Enfant (Yves Duteil) - 1978)) Composer(s): Yves Duteil - Henri Heymans - Luk Vandriessche Performer(s): Paul Roelandt - 1980
Versions In Other Languages: 1986 - Gib Einem Kind Deine Hand (Nana Mouskouri) 1987 - Taking A Child By The Hand (Nana Mouskouri)
Neem eens een kind bij de hand het neemt je mee naar het land van duizend dromen, een sprookje gelijk een kind is de koning te rijk Neem eens een kind bij de hand je hart haalt het op je verstand je maakt een gebaar dat de wereld omspant Neem eens een kind bij de hand
Neem eens een kind op je schoot al is zijn verdriet nog zo groot een enkel lief woord kan soms wonderen doen als dank krijg je steevast een zoen Neem eens een kind op je schoot en voel je eens een keer niet te groot om paardje te spelen, of krijger, of piloot Neem eens een kind op je schoot
Neem eens een kind aan je hart zijn wereld is echt heel apart je hoeft niet veel woorden, doe liefst heel gewoon een kind deelt met jou van zijn woord Neem eens een kind aan je hart al maakt het je eerst wat verward Jarenlang leef je alleen of met twee plots leeft een kind met je mee plots leeft een kind met je mee
Alms For The Beggarman Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Performer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Clopin and Friends Alms for the beggar man Please help the indigent of Paris Madame I need a bit of sympathy
Alms for the beggar man Who's there, don't be afraid of touching me Blindness is not exactly leprosy
Alms for the beggar man Kind sir can you spare a franc for some food I'll take any gift you give but shoes
Alms for the beggar man Hey look, these were hiding inside my clothes At last I've got some hands to pick my nose
My God it's a miracle My eyes have suddenly begun to see Turns out it was just this handkerchief
Mais oui, call the doctors and physicians
To see
My legs in excellent reconditioned
We three, suddenly have found religion
Look in my eyes
At my arms
And my legs
And you'll see a true epiphany
We are the kings of lies disguise and deception When we beg or steal it's devoid of detection Real work is simply out of the question There's no occupation For gypsies crooks and thieves So come on boys let's count up all the donations Split the take and have a little libation Hard work deserves a little vacation A celebration, so join us in this dance
Alms for the beggar men Reach out for someone who truly needs
We are the beggar men We'll take anything you have to give Voilà we have to live
Witches Hat Composer(s): Robin Williamson Performer(s): Robin Williamson; The Incredible String Band
Certainly The children have seen them In quiet places where the moss grows green Coloured shells Jangle together The wind is cold, the year is old The trees whisper together And bent in the wind they lean
If I was a witches hat Sitting on her head like a paraffin stove I'd fly away and be a bat Across the air I would rove Stepping like a tightrope walker Putting one foot after another Wearing black cherries for rings
If I was a witches hat Sitting on her head like a telegraph pole Id fly away and be a bat Across the air I would roll Stepping like a tightrope walker Putting one foot after another Wearing black cherries for rings
Almost There Composer(s): Gloria Shayne Performer(s): Andy Williams
Almost there, we're almost there We're, we're almost there How wonderful, wonderful our love will be For you, for me

Love has waited such a long time Now we're a kiss apart Darling, this is the right time To let the kisses start
For you're almost mine and soon we'll find Our paradise, paradise so rare Close your eyes for we're almost there
You're almost mine and soon we'll find Our paradise, paradise so rare Close your eyes, close your eyes Close your eyes for we're almost there Almost there A-a-almost there
