Take The Long Way Home Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson Supertramp - 1979
So you think you're a Romeo playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home
Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home
But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery all the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice
When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home
You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home
And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity oh, calamity, is there no way out?
Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been if you'd had more time
So, when the day comes to settle down Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home
Move On Up Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield Originally performed by: Curtis Mayfield Covered by various other artists
Hush now child and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Move on up towards your destination You may find from time to time Complications
Bite your lip and take a trip Though there may be wet road ahead You cannot slip So move on up and peace you will find Into the steeple of beautiful people Where there's only one kind
So hush now child and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Just move on up and keep on wishing Remember your dreams are your only schemes So keep on pushing Take nothing less - not even second best And do not obey - you must have your say You can past the test
Take The L (Out Of Lover) Composer(s): Marty Jourard - Martha Davis Performer(s): The Motels; Barbie Anaka
Watching my hands Holding my face One more evening gone to waste No longer do I know my place
Killing time and missing my cues Watching her belong to you Tears could only change my view
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Growing up has always been tough Good intentions never good enough I would take you far away Do anything to make you stay
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Every drink and cigarette All those times we never met There are things we should forget Now it's over, over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
I feel so sad now that she's gone I've been loving that woman too long There is no place to go because my friends have all moved Got nothing but sit in the sun Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone
My bed is so empty and my heart is grown cold guess I'll just die before I grow old The place is untidy, that's `cos I ain't done my dirt I just grown tired of thinking Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone
Ça

Ça, c'est une aubaine
Ça, c'est merveilleux
Ça, c'est un coup d'veine
Du tonnerre de Dieu
Ça, c'est formidable
Ça, c'est mieux que bon
Ça, c'est incroyable
Une explosion
Mais c'est autre chose aussi
De plus doux, de plus tendre aussi
Plus cruel et plus âpre aussi
Qu'on ne peut expliquer ainsi
Ça, c'est une aubaine
Ça, c'est merveilleux
Ça, c'est un coup d'veine
Je suis amoureux
Y a du soleil sur son visage
De l'amour dans son cur qui bat
Comme, accrochée à son corps sage
La vie qui veut rire aux éclats
Y a ses vingt ans qui vagabondent
Emportant mon cur sur ses pas
Et je raconte à tout le monde
Et je crie par-dessus les toits
Ça, c'est une aubaine
Ça, c'est merveilleux
Ça, c'est un coup d'veine
Du tonnerre de Dieu
Ça, c'est formidable
Ça, c'est mieux que bon
Ça, c'est incroyable
Une explosion
Mais c'est autre chose aussi
Autre chose de plus doux, de plus tendre aussi
Autre chose de plus cruel, de plus âpre aussi
Qu'on ne peut expliquer ainsi
Ça, c'est une aubaine
Ça, c'est merveilleux
Ça, c'est un coup d'veine
Je suis, chérie
Je suis, mon doux
Je suis amoureux, amoureux de vous

You must be mistaken, it couldn't have been You couldn't have seen him yesterday He's doin' some deal up in Baltimore now I hate it when he's away
You must be mistaken, I'm sure that you are There's more than one car with stickers on And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants And I'd know if he hadn't gone
Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well I've got news for you, I knew before
If I'm not mistaken it started last year I'm not very clear how it began I noticed the change but I just closed my eyes As only a woman can
So I didn't dig deep (So I didn't dig deep) I did not want to know (I did not want to know) Well you don't interfere When you're scared of the things you might hear When you thought, you think I will end this right there and then Well, my fair weather friend, you're wrong again
(Take that look off your face) Take that look off your face (I can see through your smile) I can see through your smile You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well I've got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore

Kom Dichter English Title: Move Closer Performer(s): Wendy Van Wanten (Originally performed by: Phyllis Nelson)
Hey lieverd, jij gaat jou weg En ik de mijne Maar op dit moment
Zijn we nog samen Ted're gebaren En ons lichaam Volgt ons gevoel Als we dansen Vingers die zoeken En het ritme Zachtjes deinend
Kom dichter Breng je lichaam zo dicht tot jij voelt Voelt dat we verder moeten gaan Kom dichter Breng je lichaam zo dicht Tot jij voelt Voelt dat ik veel meer wil van jou
Zo zoet als honing Jij smaakt als suiker Ja, alles wat ik proef smelt op m'n tong Hoe meer ik proef, hoe meer ik verlang Ik raak aan jou zo verslaafd
En als ik mocht kiezen Wil ik jou nooit verliezen Maar als straks de zon weer schijnt Weet ik dat jij weer verwijnt Toe
Kom dichter Breng je lichaam zo dicht tot jij voelt Voelt dat we verder moeten gaan Kom dichter Breng je lichaam zo dicht Tot jij voelt Voelt dat ik veel meer wil van jou

Waarom Lach Je Naar Mij ((Adapted from: Take That Look Off Your Face (Marti Webb) - 1980)) Composer(s): Don Black - Andrew Lloyd Webber - Erik Van Neygen Performer(s): Sanne - 1996
Je moet je vergissen het kan echt niet zijn het kan mijn man niet zijn die je gisteren zag hij moest voor de zaak naar een beurs in Parijs oh, wat mis ik zijn lieve lach
je moet je vergissen ik geloof niks van jou er is meer dan één auto met stickers op en meer dan één man met een wiegende gang hij is enkel verliefd op zijn job
waarom lach je naar mij? ik zie zo door je heen je geniet van 't idee je geniet van je rol als de fee die komt waarschuwen voor het immens grote gevaar wel ik heb nieuws voor jou ik gun het haar
het is geen vergissing 't begon vorig jaar hij moest vaker naar het buitenland hij veranderde zo maar ik wou het niet zien hij bracht vaak bloemen mee bovendien
nee, ik vroeg hem niet uit ik keek zijn jassen niet na en ik draaide mijn rug toen je zei "hij komt nooit meer terug" want ik wist 't is niet meer dan een dom avontuur wel mijn beste vriendin wat zeg je nu?
