You want me to love just you while you love your share Ain't that being a little unfair It's me stay home while you stay gone till you decide to care Ain't that being a little unfair?

If she seems cold and bitter, I beg of you Stop and consider all she's been through Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say Woah, don't blame her, life turned her that way

Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen Performer(s): Ruby Hill and multiple other artists
Free and easy, that's my style Howdy-do me, watch me smile Fare-thee-well me after a while 'Cause I gotta roam And any place I hang my hat is home
Sweetenin' water, cherry wine Thank you kindly, suits me fine Kansas City, Caroline That's my honeycomb 'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree Pick up and go, and the goin' proves That's how it oughta be I pick up too when the spirit moves me Cross the river, 'round the bend "Hello stranger!", "So long friend!" There's a voice in the lonesome wind That keeps whisp'ring, "Roam!" I'm going where a welcome mat is No matter where that is 'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Den Sköna Helén (aka Eller Flickan I Peru) Composer(s): Benjamin Russel Hanby - Evert Taube
Nu jag sjunger om ett annat land och om en annan kust Och om minnen från min ungdomsflydda dar Det är sången om den flickan som i glädje nöd och lust Lovat älska den hon redan svikit har
Vilka dagar vilka stunder utav kärlek sol och sång Vilka nätter uti silvermånens glans Och i skuggan ut av palmer har vi vandrat mången gång Större lycka på jorden aldrig fanns
Och min älskling i Peru Jag är alltid ensam nu Med min sorg min längtan och min melodi Ingen sjunger nu som förr du sjöng för mig i Tapalque Och min sköna, min älskade Helene
Ack när vågor sakta viskar i vår vik i Tapalque Solen sjunker i Stilla havets famn Sitter jag här upp i Nordens land och värmer mina ben Framför brasan i mitt rum på Östermalm
Ensam glömd av alla och likså av den jag älskat mest Och förutan annan tröst uti min sorg Än det hoppet att få hyran ut till våren om igen Ombord i skeppet Gripen ifrån Göteborg
Och min älskling i Peru Jag är alltid ensam nu Med min sorg min längtan och min melodi Ingen sjunger nu som förr du sjöng för mig i Tapalque Och min sköna, min älskade Helene
I need love and some affection I need a shoulder to cry on But every time they seem to find out who I am Everything goes wrong I am a well respected lady being pictured the upper class (upper class, upper class) I can't go walking around in jeans or shirt but I couldn't care less I wanna be there, hanging around I wanna be there, getting my feet back on the ground
Standing in the twilight, darling Can't you lend helping hand? Won't you take me with you where it's peaceful? Baby, try to understand Standing in the twilight, darling Every time you're watching me But will it live up to expectations? Won't you keep me company?
I miss the movement and the action I miss the boy who called me "love" The way he held my hand and sang me a song about all the stars above Last night I dreamed about a party (party, party) and every one was there I miss his tender smile, how he once in a while was messing up my hair I wanna be there, hanging around I wanna be there, getting my feet back on the ground
Den Jag Väntat På Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Låt mig tala om Idag han till mig kom Just han som jag har väntat på
En enda blick du gav Jag kände mig så svag Förstod med ens att något hänt
Jag ber dig ej om mer Den lycka du mig ger Att bara finnas nära mig
Nu finns blott du och jag Hur varje ensam dag Förbytts mot det jag drömde om
Att blott få älska dig Är allt jag önskat mig Och framför mig jag ser Att du emot mig ler Vi båda trohet svär Jag vet att du är här Och nu vet jag vad kärlek är
Jag ger dig allt jag har Och kärleken finns kvar All kärlek jag har spart för dig
Så underbart det är Att känna sig så här Jag vet att det är du som Gett mig allt det här Så tack för att du kom Låt mig få tala om Att du är den jag väntat på
Så tack för att du kom Låt mig få tala om Att du är den jag väntat på
Any Old Wind That Blows Composer(s): Dick Feller Performer(s): Johnny Cash
Lord she's restless, like cotton candy clouds that sail the day, slow and free And she possesses a mind that can't resign to stay, for long with me Though I've tried and tried to keep her tied And satisfied until she really needs me, yes I do But when that certain look comes on her face I can't replace it and she leaves me
She's a butterfly in mid July who just can't wait to try her brand new wings, on brand new things And she needs no rhyme or reason when she goes Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall And blue horizon I suppose and heaven knows She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows Yes she will, yes she will She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
I know she needs me, about as much as I need someone else, which I don't And if need be, I swear someday I'll up and leave myself, which I won't Even if she loved another man I'd understand it more than I do But I know the only reason that she ever has for leavin' is she wants to
She's a butterfly in mid July who just can't wait to try her brand new wings, on brand new things And she needs no rhyme or reason when she goes Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall And blue horizon I suppose and heaven knows She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows Yes she will, yes she will She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows

I See A Boat On The River Composer(s): Frank Farian - Fred Jay - Helmut Rulofs Performer(s): Boney M.
He left on a boat Just to follow a dream He had to find You cant hold a man When he follows a dream Thats on his mind
I see a boat on the river Its sailing away Down to the ocean Where to I cant say
Boat on the river Its sailing away Down to the ocean Where to I cant say
I waited for him Such a very long time Dont know what for cause I should have known When he left on the boat Well meet no more
I see a boat on the river Its sailing away Down to the ocean Where to I cant say
Boat on the river Its sailing away Down to the ocean Where to I cant say
Boat on the river Its sailing away Down to the ocean Where to I cant say
Boat on the river Youre bound for the sea If you should find him Please greet him from me
There were people who came And said its really a shame Why did he take off To follow just a dream But I guess they were wrong In life youre sailing along And things dont turn out As simple as they seem
Boat on the river Its sailing away Down to the ocean Where to I cant say
I see a boat on the river Its sailing away Down to the ocean Where to I cant say
I see a boat on the river Youre bound for the sea If you should find him Please greet him from me

Demolition Man
Composer(s): Vivian Campbell - Phil Collen - Joe Elliott
Performer(s): Def Leppard
Let me loose, I just got back I was pushed and I got dragged I tasted mud, I tasted wine I've kissed the life I've left behind So say I choose to stick around I've got news for this here town I kick the ball, I catch the bus And raise the roof for all of us
Destination anywhere So far gone, I'm almost there Can't you see I can't deny I'm out of here like I'm on fire
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal Television newsman so subliminal Bringing down the walls of wonderland Just another highbrow cowboy telling me Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be Here I am, your demolition man
Steal your car and leave a wreck Kiss your bride, I cash your check And Tyson plus I'm ripped and torn Been on the edge since I was born I kick the jukebox, change the tune I break the bank and jump the moon I sink the fleet to catch a buzz And raise a glass for all of us
Destination anywhere So far gone, I'm almost there Can't you see I can't deny I'm out of here like I'm on fire
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal Television newsman so subliminal Bringing down the walls of wonderland Just another highbrow cowboy telling me Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be Here I am, your demolition man
I'm a beast in space, I'm an acid taste I'm a primitive gong stuffed in your face It's enough to bring you to your knees
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal Television newsman so subliminal Bringing down the walls of wonderland Just another highbrow cowboy telling me Everything, everyone and all the things I ought to be Here I am, your demolition man Living like a caged-up animal, criminal Television newsman so subliminal Bringing down the walls of wonderland Just another highbrow cowboy telling me Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be Here I am, your demolition man
Überall auf der Welt scheint die Sonne Und das Leben erwacht von ihren Strahlen Überall suchen Menschen die Liebe Und sie glauben und hoffen für sich und für die Welt
Jede Nacht gehen Träume verloren Jeden Tag werden Wünsche neu geboren Überall auf der Welt blüh'n die Rosen Und die Wunder der Liebe gescheh'n Tag für Tag
Und auch dir und auch mir sind diese Wunder gemacht Sie gescheh'n wenn wir zwei uns begegnen Darum geh ich den Weg führt er durch Licht oder nicht Darum geh ich den Weg bis zu dir
Scheint die Zeit dir bis dahin noch weit Geh nicht traurig und leer durch das Leben
Überall auf der Welt scheint die Sonne Alle Schatten vergeh'n wenn wir uns wiederseh'n Glaube mir für uns zwei bleibt die Welt so schön Glaube mir für uns zwei bleibt die Welt so schön So schön so schön

Any Old Iron Composer(s): Charlie Collins - Terry Shepherd Performer(s): Peter Sellers and multiple other artists
Just a week or two ago my dear old Uncle Bill He went and kicked the bucket and he left me in his will So I went around the road to see my Auntie Jane She said, "your Uncle Bill has left you a watch and chain" So I put it on right across my derby kell The sun was shining on it and it made me look a swell I went out, strolling round about A crowd of kiddies followed me and they began to shout
"Any old iron? Any old iron? Any, any, any old iron? You look neat. Talk about a treat! You look so dapper from your napper to your feet Dressed in style, brand-new tile And your father's old green tie on But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch and chain Old iron, old iron"
I won't forget the day I went to London on the spree I saw the mayor of London there That's who I went to see He came along in a carriage and a pair I shouted, "come on, boys! All throw your hats up in the air" Just then the mayor, he began to smile Pointed to my face and said, "Lor Lummy, what a dial!" Started Lord-a-mayoring, and then to my dismay He pointed to my watch and chain and shouted to me "Hey Any old iron? ..."
I shan't forget the day I married Miss Elisa Brown The way the people laughed at me, it made me feel a clown I arrived in a carriage called a hack When I suddenly discovered I'd my trousers front to back So I walked down the aisle, dressed in style The vicar took a look at me and then began to smile The organ started playing The bells began to ring The people started laughing and the choir began to sing "Any old iron? ..."
