7 Billion People Composer(s): J. Fluitsma; E. van Tijn; F. Pels; P. Phillips Oland Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
Everybody's talking And fighting to be heard No-one listens anymore So no-one hears a word
We eat our breakfast Work all day Hide inside our houses The center of the universe is getting pretty crowded
We dream our dreams and cry our tears Look for easy answers Hate what we don't understand And run from what connects us
Seven billion people Living on a little planet Wonder what we're doing here But who can understand it
Seven billion people Looking for a revelation Could be life's a journey And not a destination
We agitate and demonstrate Just too many causes Politically so correct Sometimes we grasp at straws
We fight our tears and in the end Does anything get clearer? We learn to see what life could be Lookin' in a rear-view mirror
Love and hate are easy lies Everybody uses It's hard to lose the things we prize If everyone refuses
Seven billion people Living on a little planet Wonder what we're doing here But who can understand it Seven billion people Looking for a revelation Could be life's a journey And not a destination

Pour faire pleurer Margot Margot-cur-tendre, Margot-cur-gros Il suffit d'un refrain Air de guitare, pleurs d'arlequin L'enfant du Paradis Vient là pour oublier sa vie Plus c'est triste, plus c'est beau Et plus elle rêve, Margot cur gros
Pour faire pleurer Margot Margot-chagrin, Margot-sanglot Il lui faut des regrets De belles amours contrariées L'enfant du Paradis Veut voir Colombine en folie Et voir l'ami Pierrot Pleurer avec Margot cur gros
Pour faire pleurer Margot Margot-soupir, Margot-mélo Dans ma vie je n'ai rien Qu'un grand amour qui finit bien L'enfant du Paradis S'ennuie quand les amants sourient Tant pis pour le mélo Je t'aime... Tu m'aimes... Salut, Margot!
3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds Composer(s): Marty Balin Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Do away with people blowin' my mind Do away with people wastin' my precious time Take me to a simple place Where I can easily see my face Maybe baby, I'll see that you were kind Know I love you baby, yes I do Know I love you baby, yes I do
Do away with people laughin' at my hair Do away with people frownin' on my precious cares Take me to a circus tent Where I can easily pay my rent And all the other freaks will share my cares Know I love you baby, yes I do Know I love you baby, yes I do
Do away with things that come on obscene Like hot rods, pre-cleaned real fine nicotine Sometimes the price is 65 dollars Prices like that make a grown man holler 'Specially when it's sold by a kid who's only 15 Know I love you baby, yes I do Know I love you baby, yes I do
Ik zat aan het ontbijt een beschuitje te soppen Toen zag ik opeens een klein autootje stoppen Het was een Peugeootje, zo groot, nee, iets groter Het stond naast mijn theekopje, vlak bij de boter En ja hoor, daar ging het portiertje al open En kwam een klein vrouwtje naar buiten gekropen Heel blond in bikini, een beeldig figuurtje Ze stond op m'n bord en ze vroeg om een vuurtje Ze zei: "Ik heet Margootje" En ik zei: "Hallo" Ze zei: "Nou daar ben ik dan, he" En ik zei: "Oh" Ik vroeg haar, uit wat voor een plaatsje ze kwam Ze zei: "Nou, wat dacht je, uit Madurodam"
Margootje, Margootje, ze klom op mijn broodje Ze trok aan mijn haar, ze zat op mijn mouw M'n kleine vriendinnetje, zo'n neussie, zo'n kinnetje Ze riep in m;n oor, o ik hou zo van jou Margootje, Margootje, in zo'n klein Peugeootje Margootje, Margootje uit Madurodam
Ze was wel erg lief, maar ze werd te aanhalig Ze wou mee in bad en dat vond ik schandalig Toen heb ik haar weggebracht in haar Peugeootje Naar Madurodam en ik zei: "Dag Margootje" Ik zette haar neer bij het AVRO-gebouwtje Ik zei: "Nou naar huis en wees een zoet vrouwtje" Maar 's avonds deed ik de broodtrommel open Daar zat ze weer achter de koek weggekropen O, had ik haar toen maar de deur uitgezet Ze wou in m'n bad en ze wou in m'n bed Zij werd erg ondeugend en ik schreeuwde kwaad "Jij Christine Keeler in pocketformaat"
Margootje, Margootje, in een klein pettycoatje Ze zwom in m'n bad en ze zat op de Vim Ze kroop in een laatje met zo'n klein behaatje Ze kroop in m'n binnenzak en fluisterde "Wim" Margootje, Margootje, kleine idiootje Margootje, Margootje uit Madurodam
Ik zei dat ik zoiets beslist niet meer wilde Ze beet in m'n teen en krijste en gilde En toen is ze weggegaan, boos en beledigd En daarmede was de affaire erledigt Maar het laatste nieuws dat ik van haar vernam Ze zit nu in de Begijnhof van Madurodam Ze draagt een zedig wit kapje, zo'n kleintje Ze is nu een kuis en een deugdzaam begijntje Maar soms kijk ik nog wel eens achter een vaas Ik kijk in het trommeltje met speculaas Ik kijk of ze soms in m'n zeepbakje is Omdat ik haar toch wel een klein beetje mis
Margootje, Margootje, ik riep je, ik floot je Ik zoek onder 't kussen, ik kijk in m'n hoed Ik zoek in de laatjes, in hoekjes en gaatjes Nou ben je verdwenen voor altijd, voorgoed Margootje, Margootje begijntje, Bardootje Margootje, Margootje Uit Madurodam
3:10 To Yuma Composer(s): Ned Washington; George Duning Performer(s): Sandy Denny & Johnny Silvo
There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma And it's the only train left for me to ride on I'll catch that lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma I'll get my ticket now for my last time
They say the life of man is made up of four seasons And springtime finds him young and planting his grain And then the summer comes bringing warm rains of reason And time to reap his crop of heartache and pain
The winter comes, finds him snow-cropped and laden He has been humbled now, walking into the rain But the rains of death never fall from the cloudless skies of Yuma Time stand still for those on that 3.10 train
There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma And it's the only train left for me to ride on I'll catch that lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma I'll get my ticket now for my last time

Margherita Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante; Marco Luberti Originally performed by: Riccardo Cocciante Covered by various other artists
Io non posso stare fermo con le mani nelle mani tante cose devo fare prima che venga domani e se lei già sta dormendo io non posso riposare farò in modo che al risveglio non mi possa più scordare Perché questa lunga notte, non sia nera più del nero fatti grande dolce luna e riempi il cielo intero e perché quel suo sorriso possa ritornare ancora splendi sole domattina come non hai fatto ancora
E per poi farle cantare, le canzoni che ha imparato io le costruirò un silenzio che nessuno ha mai sentito sveglierò tutti gli amanti, parlerò per ore ed ore abbracciamoci più forte, perché lei vuole l'amore
Poi corriamo per le strade e mettiamoci a ballare perché lei vuole la gioia, perché lei odia il rancore e poi coi secchi di vernice coloriamo tutti i muri case, vicoli e palazzi, perché lei ama i colori raccogliamo tutti i fiori, che può darci primavera costruiamole una culla, per amarci quando è sera poi saliamo su nel cielo, e prendiamole una stella perché Margherita è buona, perché Margherita è bella
Perché Margherita è dolce, perché Margherita è vera perché Margherita ama, e lo fa una notte intera perché Margherita è un sogno, perché Margherita è il sale perché Margherita è il vento e non sa che può far male perché Margherita è tutto, ed è lei la mia pazzia Margherita, Margherita...Margherita...adesso è mia...
We fell in love and I made you the world I spent all my time tryin' to satisfy you, girl Just one thing that I can't figure out Closer I get, farther baby I am out
30 days, 30 days out Well I'm six days runnin' but I'm 30 days out 30 days, 30 days out With every kiss you leave a little shadow of doubt
The roof was leakin' honey where we live And I'm wonderin' what's that something that you won't give I started loving you but I gotta stop You got me mostly waitin' for that other shoe to drop
30 days, 30 days out You keep me six days runnin' but I'm 30 days out 30 days, 30 days out With every kiss you leave a little shadow of doubt
Tried to talk about what's goin' on You just smile and tell me "Baby there ain't nothin' wrong" In your smile there's a sign in red It said "Thousand miles of hard road dead ahead"
30 days, 30 days out Yeah I'm six days runnin' but I'm 30 days out 30 days, 30 days out With every kiss you leave a little shadow of doubt
30 days, 30 days out Well I'm six days runnin' but I'm 30 days out 30 days, 30 days out With every kiss you leave a little shadow of doubt

In de verte spreekt een stem Die ik herken van onze ruzies Over kleine misverstanden Over grote desillusies En ik hoor de kille klanken Van jouw ingehouden woede Maar wat kan ik meer dan janken Als ik dit niet kon vermoeden In een waas hoor ik je zeggen Dat je alles op wilt geven Dat je alles met je meeneemt Wat me lief is in dit leven En ik luister hoe jouw woorden Langzaam opgaan in de zinnen Die me treffen als een bliksem Met vernietigende kracht
Deze kilte maakt me gek En dit gevoel is angstaanjagend Maar je woorden malen verder En m`n ogen kijken vragend Waarom zei je mij niet eerder Dat je zo van me vervreemd was Waarom sprak je over liefde Als je nooit van mij gehouden hebt Ik verlies het van de wanhoop En ik voel m`n tranen branden En ik zou niets liever willen Dan m`n hoofd weer in jouw handen Maar wat tot een uur geleden Nog zo veilig heeft geleken Is `n hele grote leugen En `n kaartenhuis gebleken
Het is net of iemand anders In jouw lichaam is gekropen En ik heb niet eens gemerkt Dat ie naar binnen is geslopen Om jouw liefde uit te wissen En m`n wereld te vernielen Wil er niemand me vertellen Dat ik alles heb gedroomd
