Anytime (I'll Be There) Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka; Frank Sinatra
Anytime you need me babe Just call I'll be there Call and see what a good friend can be When you need someone to care Nothing more than understanding Just a man who's undemanding Like a leaf that's only landing suddenly Goes when the wind gently blows
And I'm asking nothing of you love Only what you want to give And I wish you what I wish myself As long as I may live Other arms will surely hold you Just remember the things that I told you When these arms of mine enfold you It's not out of greed but for love And for need
I love you so, I still do I'm sure you know when I'm holding you The sad part of seeing you is goodbye Call and I'll come when your world's come undone I'm like you, I get lonely too And I need someone to hold Knowing well this world can be hell And sometimes very cold
Nothing firm and nothing binding Now and then a slight reminding Waking up one day and finding Somewhere to run, somewhere to run Somewhere to run when your world's come undone Oh babe, I'll be there, I'll be there anytime
There's a certain thing about you Summer, fall and spring about you I could write and sing about you And never run out, never run out (no) Never run out of what you're all about Oh babe, I'll be there , I'll be there anytime
Tu ressembles à la musique que tu danses
Tu es violence, cadence et décadence
Robot, rebelle, madone des décibels
Deux grands yeux métal
Comme un ciel sans étoile
Deux scotch, un rock, on parle, on rit, on danse
Super gadget de discothèque qui danse, danse
Désirée
Désirée, oh, Désirée
Dans le cur t'as le spleen de ta génération
Désirée, oh, Désirée
T'as le corps en blue-jeans et les rêves en jupon
Et les rêves en jupon
Désirée
Tu portes bien ton nom
Désirée
Ton appartement, une petite kitchenette et un balcon
Poster de Jane Fonda sur le mur
Des poupées sur le lit
Je n'ai rien demandé
Tu m'apportes un whisky
Tu pars, tu r'viens
Baignoire de bain romantique
On fait l'amour trop tôt, pas bien, mécanique
Désirée
Désirée, oh, Désirée
Dans le cur t'as le spleen de ta génération
Désirée, oh, Désirée
T'as le corps en blue-jeans et les rêves en jupon
Et les rêves en jupon
Désirée
Tu portes bien ton nom
Désirée
Tu as l'angoisse de tout, de toi, de l'av'nir
Tu caches ta peur derrière ton rire
Oui tu es belle comme le désir
Désirée
Comme je t'aim'rais
Si tu savais pleurer
Désirée, oh, Désirée
Dans le cur t'as le spleen de ta génération
Désirée, oh, Désirée
T'as le corps en blue-jeans et les rêves en jupon
Et les rêves en jupon
Désirée
Tu portes bien ton nom
Désirée...
It was the third of June On that younger day Well I became a man At the hands of a girl Almost twice my age And she came to me Just like a morning sun And it wasn't so much Her words as such As the way they were sung It was the way they were sung
Desiree Oh, Desiree There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of you loving song Time was right, the night was long Remember, Desiree Oh Desiree Somehow I knew I could only have you Til the morning light If only for that single night Sweet Desiree, you made it right.
Then came the fourth of June On that sleepless night Well I tossed and I turned While the thought of her burned Up and down my mind For she was there and gone Without one regret But she continues on Like the words of a song I could not forget I could not forget
Desiree Oh, Desiree There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of your loving song Time was right, the night was long Remember, Desiree Oh, Desiree And though somehow I knew I could only have you Til the morning light The night was long, the time was right Do you remember, Desiree

Mi aspecto perverso, mi lívido porno
Mi circulo abierto, mi tacto de oro
Tu espalda es un arpa, tus piernas un coro
que tienen en mente hacérmelo todo
Yo soy ese rayo que cayó del cielo
que vino a quemarte hasta el mismo infierno
Vos sos el espacio que habitan tus miedos
Yo tengo coraje y tengo deseo
Quiero tu lado salvaje, no necesito palabras
quiero sacarme las ropas, que no me sirven de nada
No soy turista del viaje, soy pasajero intranquilo
No me provoques ahora, tengo un cuchillo con filo
Y nada de lo que me digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
Con látigo en mano, me siento indefenso
la rabia que escupo, se la lleva el viento
Hay gente que inspira, que come excremento
hay gente que aspira la coca y el tiempo
Tu punto de vista, tu lado importante
Tu chumbo en la mano, sos un vigilante
Yo soy un espectro, soy un habitante
un cuerpo y un alma, un lucro cesante
Voy a salir a la calle a deshacer mi destino
Que es bueno estar en la lona y equivocar el camino
Podés comprarte una casa, podés comprarte un asilo
Hay cosas que no se compran, vos sabes bien lo que digo
Y nada de lo que me digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
La falsa utopía de un mundo perfecto
se hundió hace unos días
en un baño infecto
Políticamente, decente y correcto
Sos un policía, sos como un insecto
Flotás tranquilo y seguro, alrededor de la mierda
te veo andando derecho, resbalando por izquierda
no existe nadie que sepa, ninguna cosa en la tierra
y si estás libre de dudas, tirá la primera piedra
Y nada de lo que digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
Desierto... nena, estoy desierto, desierto...
Hallo Hier Ben Ik Dan Composer(s): J. Bral - J. de Nijs Performer(s): Luk Bral
Ik vond er niks meer aan, 't was beter om maar weg te gaan Ik voelde mij geroepen tot de vrijheid en 't onbekende Ik liet al m'n vrienden achter en m'n kalm bestaan En op een dag ben ik op pad gegaan
En na 'n jaar of twee van zwerven wou ik terug naar huis Er kwam toch niks dan rotzooi van, toen bleef er mij niet veel meer over 'k Heb alle bruggen en de steden achter mij verbrand En na m'n tocht ben ik weer in dit land aangeland
Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij
Ik maak een wandeling door 't dorp langs de zilveren rivier Tot aan de houten brug, ach kijk 't is nog allemaal hetzelfde Op alle plekjes waar ik speelde blijf ik even staan Wat zet er mij er toch toe aan om weg te gaan
Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij
't Vetgemeste kalf wordt op m'n vaders erf geslacht 't Hele dorp komt naar 't feest, ik krijg wel honderden cadeautjes Er wordt gedanst, er wordt gevierd, met heel wat roemers wijn 't Is zo mooi, 't kan niet mooier zijn
Maar dan opeens is 'r de drang om terug op pad te gaan 't Feest is nog in volle gang en ik zit voor me uit te staren Al die verre horizinten trekken mij weer aan Ik neem een slok en trek m'n schoenen aan, om weg te gaan
Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij
Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij ...
Desiderata
Composer(s): Max Ehrmann - Werner Ehrmann
Performer(s): Les Crane
and multiple other artists
Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence
As far as possible, without surrender be on good terms with all persons
Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others even to the dull and ignorant they too have their story
Avoid loud and aggressive persons they are vexations to the spirit
If you compare yourself with others you may become vain or bitter for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time
Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of trickery But let this not blind you to what virtue there is many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroism
Be yourself Especially do not feign affection Neither be cynical about love for in the face of all aridity and disenchantement it is as perrenial as the grass
Take kindly the counsel of the years gracefully surrendering the things of youth
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness
Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars you have a right to be here And whether or not it is clear to you no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should
Therefore be at peace with God whatever you conceive him to be And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life keep peace in your soul
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world Be cheerful Strive to be happy

Deserted Cities Of The Heart
Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Pete Brown
Performer(s): Cream
and multiple other artists
Upon this street where time has died
The golden treat you never tried
In times of old, in days gone by
If I could catch your dancing eye
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
The street is cold, its trees are gone
The story's told the dark has won
Once we set sail to catch a star
We had to fail, it was too far
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
I felt the wind shout like a drum
You said, "My friend, love's end has come"
It couldn't last, had to stop
You drained it all to the last drop
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
On this dark street the sun is black
The winter life is coming back
On this dark street it's cold inside
There's no retreat from time that's died
It was on the way
On the road to dreams
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love

Your lips upon my lips, your arms around my waist How can I forget that first date ...
Mmm, so keep your head on my shoulder Stay real close, baby, don't let go Don't think of tomorrow let's live for tonight Because I love you so You see that love light gleaming in my eyes Swear it's gonna never die 'Cause I've got my first taste of love

Desert Pete
Composer(s): Billy Edd Wheeler
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists
I was travellin' West a buckskin on my way to a cattle run Cross a little cactus desert under a hot blisterin' sun I was thirsty down to my toenails, stopped to rest me on a stump But I tell ya I just couldn't believe it when I saw that water pump I took it to be a mirage at first, it'll fool a thirsty man Then I saw a note stuck in a bakin' powder can "This pump is old", the note began, "but she works so give'r a try" "I put a new sucker washer in 'er, you may find the leather dry"
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe" "You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive" "Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet" "Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
"Yeah, you'll have to prime the pump, work that handle like there's a fire" "Under that rock you'll find some water I left in a bitters jar" "Now there's just enough to prime it with so dontcha go drinkin' first" "You just pour it in and pump like mad, buddy, you'll quench your thirst"
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe" "You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive" "Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet" "Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
Well I found that jar and I tell ya nothin' was ever prettier to my eye And I was tempted strong to drink it, cuz that pump looked mighty dry But the note went on "have faith my friend, there's water down below" "You got to give until you get-I'm the one who ought to know" So I poured in the jar and I started pumpin' and I heard a beautiful sound Of water bubblin' and splashin' up outta that hole in the ground I took off my shoes and I drunk my fill of that cool refreshing treat I thank the Lord and thank the pump and I thank old Desert Pete
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe" "You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive" "Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet" "Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet" "Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
