Are You Getting Enough Happiness Composer(s): Erroll Brown Performer(s): Hot Chocolate
Every time I go to the movies
All I see is happy love on the silver screen Everywhere I go I see men and women lovin'
Kissin' and a-huggin' enjoyin' life Oh what's the matter with me
Am I lonely
Is there anybody out there who feels the same?
Every time I turn on my T.V. I see somebody lovin' somebody
Are you getting enough happiness? Are you getting enough of what makes you happy? Are you getting enough happiness? Are you getting enough of what makes you happy?
Every time I open a book Or read a magazine There's happy love everywhere I look Every page I turn I can read between the lines
That the boys gonna get it get it tonight Oh what's the matter with me
Am I the only one
Oh is there somebody out there who feels the same?
Every time I turn on my radio I hear a love song playing on every show Are you getting enough happiness?...
I need excitement in my life I need happiness happiness every night I need someone to call upon when the need is strong
Digo Que Soy Libre Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Digo que soy libre y cuando lo digo sé que es fácil pronunciar esa palabra pero no me importa digo lo que siento y me arriesgo a ser el muerto en la batalla Qué puedo hacer si no tengo nada que perder
Digo que soy libre y aunque sé que miento me demuestro una verdad con mi mentira No me quedan fuerzas sólo un sentimiento que aún se niega a ser escombro en la ceniza Qué puedo hacer si no queda nada en qué creer
Para caer en mi propio error ahora sin temor digo que soy libre, libre, libre
Digo que soy libre y cuando lo digo dinamito las razones más exactas de los estrategas que me recomiendan que lo último a perder es la esperanza Qué puedo hacer si ni el odio queda por vencer
Digo que soy libre y no me da miedo proclamar esa locura entre las luces simples y ruidosas de nuevos conversos propietarios de las más altas virtudes Qué puedo hacer si me duele tanto envejecer
Para caer en mi propio error ahora sin temor digo que soy libre, libre, libre
Are You Gonna Throw It All Away Composer(s): Diane Warren - Albert Hammond Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
You've been lookin' for a reason You've been trying to find a way To find an easy way of leavin' 'Cause you can't find a way to stay
If it's not workin' why can't we work it out? Baby, it's just so wrong to be walkin' out Don't walk out
Are you gonna throw it all away, forever? Aren't you gonna give us one more try, together? Are you gonna take the love we made And throw it all away?
We've got somethin' good between us Something we might never find again Before you go searchin' for another love Look at what you got right in your hand
Wish I could make you see what you'd leave behind Wish I could change your heart so you'd change your mind Change your mind
Are you gonna throw it all away, forever? Aren't you gonna give us one more try, together? Are you gonna take the love we've made And throw it all away? Oh, don't throw it all away
If it's not working, why can't we work it out? Oh baby it's just so wrong to be walking out Don't walk out, darlin'
Are you gonna throw it all away, forever? Are you gonna give us one more try, together? Are you gonna take the love we've made And throw it all away? Throwing it all away....
Je Kan Niet Altijd 16 Zijn Composer(s): Johnny Hoes; Kurt Hertha; Ralph Siegel Jr. Performer(s): Bobby Prins
Je kan niet altijd 16 zijn, liefje dat kan je niet Toch kan het leven, jou alles geven
als je maar steeds de zonzij ziet Eénmaal dan zal je zestig zijn, dan ben ik nog bij jou Omdat ik altijd, alleen van jou maar hou
Jij houd van zang, en gitaarmuziek En je lacht en je danst, en droomt nog zo graag van romantiek Maar onze jeugd, gaat zo snel voorbij En heel andere dingen wachten op jou en mij
Je kan niet altijd 16 zijn, liefje dat kan je niet Toch kan het leven, jou alles geven, als je maar steeds de zonzij ziet Eénmaal dan zal je zestig zijn, dan ben ik nog bij jou Omdat ik altijd, alleen van jou maar hou
Blond is je haar, met een gouden schijn Maar nog mooier ben jij, als éénmaal je haren zilver zijn Als wij maar steeds naast elkander staan Zal ons pad in het leven, steeds over rozen gaan
Je kan niet altijd 16 zijn, liefje dat kan je niet Toch kan het leven, jou alles geven, als je maar steeds de zonzij ziet Eénmaal dan zal je zestig zijn, dan ben ik nog bij jou Omdat ik altijd, alleen van jou maar hou
Met jou zal iedere dag, een zondag zijn Een dag zo vol geluk, en zonneschijn
Je kan niet altijd 16 zijn, liefje dat kan je niet Toch kan het leven, jou alles geven, als je maar steeds de zonzij ziet Eénmaal dan zal je zestig zijn, dan ben ik nog bij jou Omdat ik altijd, alleen van jou maar hou
De Radio Speelt Ons Liefdeslied Performer(s): Salim Seghers
Het valt me zwaar Jij bent niet vrij Jij houdt van hem Maar veel meer van mij Gestolen uurtjes Voor me vrij gemaakt 't Doet me zo'n pijn als ik weet dat je morgen naast hem ontwaakt
De radio speelt weer ons liefdeslied Denk aan mij, vergeet me niet Hou jij dat plaatsje vrij In je hart voor mij
De radio speelt weer ons liefdeslied Denk aan mij, vergeet me niet Kom vanavond naar me toe We hebben rendez-vous
Een klein motel Kent ons geheim Voor korte tijd Ben je dan van mij Maar na de hartstocht Komt de werkelijkheid Ik vraag je iedere keer weer vergeefs of je bij me blijft
De radio speelt weer ons liefdeslied Denk aan mij, vergeet me niet Hou jij dat plaatsje vrij In je hart voor mij
De radio speelt weer ons liefdeslied Denk aan mij, vergeet me niet Kom vanavond naar me toe We hebben rendez-vous
Hou me nog heel even vast voor je gaat Eventjes maar want het is al zo laat
De radio speelt weer ons liefdeslied Denk aan mij, vergeet me niet Hou jij dat plaatsje vrij In je hart voor mij
De radio speelt weer ons liefdeslied Denk aan mij, vergeet me niet Kom vanavond naar me toe We hebben rendez-vous
Diggin' On James Brown
Composer(s): Emilio Castillo - Ken Kessie - Stephen Kupka
Performer(s): Tower Of Power
I've been through all them changes A lot of stuff came down I've dealt with all the issues You might say I've been around But back when I got started There was a righteous sound
It doesn't matter what I've been through I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
Ya know the more things change The more they stay the same It may be a different age But I'm on the same page
'Cause one thing that I've found I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
I had an attitude adjustment I did some psycho therapy I helped myself to some self-help I dabbled in some ESP Though my world is ever-changing And I move from town to town
It doesn't matter where I've been to I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
Ya know the more things change The more they stay the same It may be a different age But I'm on the same page
'Cause one thing that I've found I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
You got your rap and your disco You got your drum machine You got your R-rated gangster You got your grungy scene You got your state of the art You got your digital sound
It doesn't matter where it's going to I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
Take it to the bridge It'll get ya where ya live When there's water all around You can still get outta town And still be diggin' on James Brown
Ya know the more things change The more they stay the same It may be a different age But I'm on the same page
'Cause one thing that I've found I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
Are You From Dixie? ('Cause I'm From Dixie Too) Composer(s): George L. Cobb - Jack Yellen Performer(s): Jerry Reed and multiple other artists
Hello, there, stranger! how do you do? There's something I'd like to say to you Don't be surprised You're recognized! I'm no detective but I've just surmised You're from the place where I long to be Your smiling face seems to say to me You're from my own land My sunny homeland Tell me can it be?
It was a way back in eighty nine I crossed the old Mason Dixon line Gee! but I've yearned Longed to return To all the good old pals I left behind My home is way down in Alabam' On a plantation near Birmingham And one thing's certain I'm surely flirtin' With those southbound trains
Are you from Dixie? I said from Dixie! Where the fields of cotton beckon to me I'm glad to see you Tell me how be you And the friends I'm longing to see If you're from Alabama, Tennessee or Caroline Any place below the Mason Dixon line Then you're from Dixie Hurrary for Dixie! 'Cause I'm from Dixie too!
Drie Zomers Lang Composer(s): Cyril Assous - Gerrit den Braber
First release by: Conny Vandenbos - 1975
Omdat ik wist dit duurt geen leven lang Had ik mezelf bij 't afscheid in bedwang Ik zei "bedankt, geen andere man Geeft ooit wat jij me geven kan Ga nou maar weg en kijk niet om" Zo moest het gaan, vraag niet waarom Duurt dit te lang dan wordt het sleur Verdroogde bloem verliest z'n kleur
Drie zomers lang was jij m'n liefste Drie zomers lang geen uur zonder jou 't Mooiste feest kan nooit lang duren Ik heb geen spijt, verdriet of berouw
Een smalle ring gekregen in Parijs Een gouden band van weer een andere reis Een kaartje met "ik heb je lief" Wat souveniers, een enkele brief Het ging voorbij, zoals zoveel Ik heb geen spijt, ik kreeg m'n deel 't Was te mooi voor lange duur Ons huis staat nu opnieuw te huur
Drie zomers lang was jij m'n liefste Drie zomers lang geen uur zonder jou 't Mooiste feest kan nooit lang duren Ik heb geen spijt, verdriet of berouw
't Mooiste feest kan nooit lang duren Ik heb geen spijt, verdriet of berouw

Are You Ever Coming Back? Composer(s): Philip Oakey - Jim Russell - A. Wright Performer(s): The Human League
The sun that's shining through the shattered window Is breaking into colours in the car Through the heat the dust blows round the pueblo The sounds of people drift in from afar
Can we really lose everything On a matter of pride? Is this really the end of our love? How am I to decide?
Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back?
Another village rises in the distance To mark the passage to the journey's end The droning of the engine is existence It's too far for the mind to comprehend
Can we really lose everything On a matter of pride? Is this really the end of our love? How am I to decide?
Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back?

Let the time flow Let the love grow Let the rain shower Let the rose flower Love it seeks, love it finds Love it conquers, love it binds
We reach for each other from different worlds With love for each other that will stand the test of time We're up to the challenge of different worlds With this love inside us There is nothing can divide us

Well you and I Travel to the beat of a different drum Can't you tell By the way I run Every time you make eyes at me
Yes, you cry and moan And say it'll work out But honey child I've got my doubts You can't see the forest For the trees
Now don't get me wrong It's not that I knock it It's just that I am not in the market For a girl Who wants to love Only me And I'm not saying that you ain't pretty All's I saying's that I'm not ready For any person place or thing To try and pull the reins In on me
Well I feel pretty sure That you'll find a man Who will take a lot more than I ever could Or can And you'll settle down with him And I know That you'll be happy
So goodbye I'm a-leavin' I see no sense in you cryin And grievin' We'll both live a lot longer If you live without me Babe

If you live without me woman Woo If you live without me

I'm your little boy, just your little boy When you met my toil pet sweeps my shoes And I love all the games we are playing Even then when you win and I lose
I'm your little boy, just your little boy Every night in my bed I will pray Don't let anything happen to mama 'Cause I can't sleep without her a day
Lalala...
Yes, whatever I do and wherever I go I'll be thinking of you And you can be sure I'll always love you Because you're the best mama in the whole world
I'm your little boy, I'm your little boy All my life I shall sing it and new Even then when your hair will be silvery 'Cause my love is forever for you
Dieu S'il Existe Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Au ciel de qui se moque-t-on? Était-ce utile qu'un orage Vînt au pays de Jeanneton Mettre à mal son beau pâturage? Pour ses brebis, pour ses moutons Plus une plante fourragère Rien d'épargné que le chardon! Dieu, s'il existe, il exagère Il exagère
Et là-dessus, méchant, glouton Et pas pour un sou bucolique Vers le troupeau de Jeanneton Le loup sortant du bois rapplique Sans laisser même un rogaton Tout il croque, tout il digère Au ciel de qui se moque-t-on? Dieu, s'il existe, il exagère Il exagère
Et là-dessus le Corydon Le promis de la pastourelle Laquelle allait au grand pardon Rêver d'amours intemporelles Au ciel de qui se moque-t-on? Suivit la cuisse plus légère Et plus belle d'une goton Dieu, s'il existe, il exagère Il exagère
Adieu les prairies, les moutons Et les beaux jours de la bergère Au ciel de qui se moque-t-on? Ferait-on de folles enchères? Quand il grêle sur le persil C'est bête et méchant, je suggère Qu'on en parle au prochain concile Dieu, s'il existe, il exagère Il exagère
