My Broken Souvenirs Composer(s): Werner Theunissen Performer(s): Pussycat; Demis Roussos
For each moment of tears I still had my souvenirs Cherished in a pocket full of dreams I could hold I could feel Kept pretending they were real Long time after lovers stayed away Now a picture of you I had cherished so true Even kissed 'till I'd seen you again But when
I've been crying today Threw my memories away Something died as I cried For my broken souvenirs Can I reach for the sun Find a place I belong Now you're one of my broken souvenirs If you'll need me again There's no way you really can Pasted pieces never make a whole And if you leave your room On some windy afternoon Try to see where all the pieces flew It was hard to get on Since my memories were gone But if you'll ever see me again I can
Dim All The Lights
Composer(s): Donna Summer
First release by: Donna Summer - 1979
Dim all the lights sweet darling
'Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old Vitrola
Gonna dance the night away
Love just don't come easy
No it seldom does
When you find the perfect love
Let it fill you up
Dim all the lights sweet darling
'Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old Vitrola
Gonna dance the night away
Dim all the lights sweet honey
'Cause tonight it's you and me
No need to worry darlin'
'Cause it's for eternity
Love don't come easy
This you know I understand
I want to be your woman
If you'll be my man
Let yourself go freely and I'll
Show you things that you've dreamed of
Don't think that your dreaming
We've found the perfect love
And I'm like a cup come fill me up
Dim all the lights sweet darling
'Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old Vitrola
Gonna dance the night away
Do what you want
You can use me all you want
Take me bottom to top
Don't leave anything undone
No, no, no, do it tonight
You know the moments are right
Turn my brown body white
Come let's dim all the lights
Dim all the lights sweet darling
'Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old Vitrola
Gonna dance the night away

Tu es numéro 1 au hit-parade de mon cur Tu es mon doux succès, mon petit amour enchanteur Et lorsque tu me donnes tes baisers si parfumés J'ai la tête qui commence à tourner
Tu as monté sans bruit la douce échelle de l'amour Comme un joli refrain que l'on fredonne tous les jours Je ne me lasse pas de te voir, de t'écouter Car tu es ma chanson préférée
Quand je t'ai connue Fragile et menue Tu ne m'as pas fait Tellement d'effet Mais tu as grimpé, grimpé au sommet de ma vie Tant et si bien qu'à l'heure d'aujourd'hui
Tu es numéro 1 au hit-parade de mon cur Et de toutes les filles, c'est toi qui as ma faveur Je voudrais maintenant que tu restes mon grand amour Mon doux numéro un pour toujours
Cette histoire vécue Ressemble, vois-tu À une musique Tendre et romantique Qui pénètre doucement au fond de notre esprit Puis qui nous obsède jour et nuit
Tu es numéro 1 au hit-parade de mon cur Et puisque tu me donnes ce qu'on appelle le bonheur Je voudrais maintenant que tu restes mon grand amour Mon doux numéro 1 pour toujours

I can't see you, but you can see me waiting along the road Thumbing a ride to get into town hey where'd you get your automobe See you around the corner, waitin' for my flame to burn My eyes are dim, I cannot see But I know there's a good time waiting for me Making my scene just groovin' around, making what chicks I can I drink what I like and I dance what I do, I'm getting right through to the band See you in the corner, wait for my flame to burn My eyes are dim, I cannot see I'd sooner feel you babe, feeling me Think I'll leap around a bit, and sow my seed somewhere Go on around to the 46, gonna do the things that I dare See you in the corner, wait for my flame to burn My eyes are dim, I cannot see You'd better not take that thought from me
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
Ive Found My Freedom Composer(s): T.R. Ritchie - D. Spence Performer(s): Mac Kissoon & Katie Kissoon
I'm going down by the riverside Gonna wash away my troubles in the noon day tide The tax man's coming and he wants his dues But the only way to catch me is to wet his shoes
I've found my freedom, a paradise meant for me I've found my freedom, da-de-da-dn de-de-dee I've found my freedom, a paradise meant for me I've found my freedom, da-de-da-dn de-de-dee
Hold my head up and look to the sun I've found me a place where I don't have to run No-one to find me in my restricted zone 'Cause I've left my address as a place unknown
I've found my freedom ....
Remember all you people if you're tired and down You've got to leave the city or you're sure to drown Make a bid for freedom and you're sure to find You've found yourself the good life and your peace of mind
