I Sing The Body Electric Composer(s): Michael Gore; Dean Pitchford First release by: Laura Dean, Irene Cara, Paul McCrane, Traci Parnell, Eric Brockington - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
I sing the body electric... I celebrate the me yet to come... I toast to my own reunion When I become one with the sun...
And I look back on Venus I look back on Mars And I burn with the fire of 10 million stars And in time And in time We will all be stars...
I sing the body electric I glory in the glow of rebirth Creating my own tomorrow When I shall embody the earth...
And I'll serenade Venus I'll serenade Mars And I'll burn with the fire of 10 million stars And in time And in time We will all be stars... (oh yeah)
We are the emperors now And we are the czars And in time And in time We will all be stars...
I sing the body electric... I celebrate the me yet to come... I toast to my own reunion When I become one with the sun...
And I'll look back on Venus I'll look back on Mars And I'll burn with the fire of 10 million stars And in time (and in time) And in time (and in time) We will all be stars...
Een Loflied Op Hem ((English Version: A Hymn To Him (Rex Harrison)) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Seth Gaaikema Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld
Higgins: Waarom gaat zo'n meisje nu in vredesnaam weer weg na haar overwinning op het bal? Doet ze dit koelbloedig? Is ze soms zwaarmoedig? Wat moet je nou toch doen in zo'n geval?
Eliza is een vrouw en daar is alles mee gezegd Een mengeling van sentiment en sex Maar 't is toch ook een impulsieve, explosieve oernaïeve, primitieve, onsportieve negatieve, apocriefe heks!
Waarom zijn vrouwen niet net als de man? 'n Man is zo eerlijk, zo door en door goed edel in alles - bij al wat hij doet Wat hij belooft, dat doet-ie zonder meer Waarom zijn vrouwen zo weinig heer? Waarom moet hun neus altijd gepoederd zijn en waarom doen ze dat al 's morgens vroeg? Waarom willen vrouwen altijd moeder zijn? Is dan het vaderschap niet opwindend genoeg? Waarom zijn vrouwen niet net als de man? Een man is bedaard, en vriend'lijk van aard en dat op zichzelf is een heleboel waard Zou jij gaan grienen, als ik vaak in 'n café kwam?
Pickering: Welnee!
Higgins: Zou jij gaan gillen, als ik urenlang niets zei?
Pickering: Nonsens!
Higgins: Zou jij bouderen als ik geen bloemen voor je meenam?
Pickering: Je doet maar!
Higgins: Waarom zijn vrouwen niet als jij? 't Gebeurt wel, dat een man wat onbehouwen doet Of dat er eentje te luidruchtig lacht Er zijn er, die je niet direct vertrouwen moet Maar op zichzelf zijn wij een machtig geslacht! Waarom zijn vrouwen niet net als de man? Een man is fideel, een man is reëel en dat op zichzelf is tegenwoordig al veel! Zou jij gaan kijven, als ik te laat kwam voor 't eten?
Pickering: Welnee!
Higgins: Zou jij gaan blèren, als ik knoeide met m'n ei?
Pickering: Nonsens!
Higgins: Zou jij gaan slaan als ik je verjaardag zou vergeten?
Pickering: Je doet maar!
Higgins: Waarom zijn vrouwen niet als wij? Waarom zijn vrouwen niet net als de man? Vrouwen zijn teer en vrouwen zijn zacht De man daarentegen een toonbeeld van kracht die als een held door 't leven gaat en dat ook blijft Waarom zijn vrouwen zo verwijfd? 'n Vrouw ziet nooit iets van de wereld buiten haar Z' is altijd weer die aangeklede pop Waarom prutst ze altijd aan d'r huid en haar en knapt ze nooit de boel van binnen es op? Waarom zijn vrouwen niet net als de man? Als ik nu als vrouw naar een bal was geweest en ik was zoals zij "koningin van het feest" zou ik m'n jurk dan met 'n huilpartij bevlekken? En daara tranen persen tot de laatste snik En daarna met de noorderzon vertrekken? Waarom zijn vrouwen niet als ik?

Din blick är sorgsen Vet vad du känner jag förstår så väl, att Tankarna skrämmer
I en värld full av människor så Växer vår ensamhet Å i mörkret inom dig finns vilsenhet
Men i dina blå ögon speglas jag I dina blå ögon finns havet och himlen Så va inte rädd, att leva här För dina ögon dina ögon Har fått sin färg av förtröstan
Le lite grann nu Va inte ledsen jag minns knappast när, ja sist såg dig skratta om världen gör dig galen och bara ser allt i svart så finns jag där mitt i din mörkaste natt
Och i dina blå ögon speglas jag I dina blå ögon finns havet och himlen Så va inte rädd, att leva här För dina ögon dina ögon Är vackrare än du anar
Jag minns knappast när ja Sist såg dig skratta Om världen gör dig galen och bara ser allt i svart så finns jag där mitt i din mörkaste natt
Och i dina blå ögon speglas jag I dina blå ögon finns havet och himlen Så va inte rädd, att leva här I dina ögon dina ögon dina ögon så speglas allt i dina blå ögon finns havet och himlen så va inte rädd att leva här
För dina ögon dina ögon Har fått sin färg av förtröstan
Moon Over Brooklyn Composer(s): Jimmy Lott; Alan Miles Performer(s): Anne Murray; Jimmy Lott
As I walk around I see lots of people With their faces to the ground All that pressure that's comin' down They don't want no misery
And if you've seen enough already I'm sayin' this to you There's a moon over Brooklyn And it's comin' into view
The war in Asia took a heavy toll The price we paid was etched out in our souls Now this newborn baby lyin' at your door Can you let him in, can you show him more
So come along with me I'll show you where the city meets the sky We'll vow to never, never say goodbye We won't have to hide, no, any more
And if we should kiss and fall in love It would be the right thing to do 'Cause there's a moon over Brooklyn And it's comin' into view
There's a moon over Brooklyn
There's a moon over Brooklyn
There's a moon over Brooklyn And it's comin' into view
Een Groot Geluk
((French Version: Comme Un Soleil (Michel Fugain & Anne Vanderlove))
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë - Michel Fugain - Nelly Byl
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Een groot geluk vindt je overal Eens wordt het licht Bij het schemeren van de dag Eens schijnt de dag Als de wereld ontwaakt En in je hart Als de liefde ontwaakt
Je mag van mij verlangen wat je wil Vraag mij zelfs alles op te geven Nooit meer te luisteren naar de zomerwind Noch naar een vogelzang Of de lach van een kind 'k Wil mijlen ver langs donkere wegen gaan Als ik het licht maar zie Op 't einde van de baan Vraag dat ik sterren uit de hemel pluk Maar zeg me waar vind ik geluk
Een groot geluk vindt je overal Eens wordt het licht Bij het schemeren van de dag Eens schijnt de dag Als de wereld ontwaakt En in je hart Als de liefde ontwaakt
Je mag van mij verlangen wat je wil Vraag me zelfs alles op te geven Neem al men vrienden weg uit men bestaan Ontneem me elke bloem en elke zonnestraal Laat me maar dwalen door de duisternis Tot ik een plekje vind dat klaar en helder is 'k Wil alles doen en vechten stuk voor stuk Maar zeg me waar vind ik geluk
Een groot geluk vindt je overal Eens wordt het licht Bij het schemeren van de dag Eens schijnt de dag Als de wereld ontwaakt En in je hart Als de liefde ontwaakt

You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness inside you Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then Don't be unhappy, can't remember When I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow
(When I last saw you laughing) If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors true colors true colors Shining through
I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful Like a rainbow
I Shoulda Loved Ya Composer(s): Narada Michael Walden; T.M. Stevens; Alee Willis Performer(s): Narada Michael Walden
I shoulda loved ya I shoulda loved ya Ooh, when I touched ya I shoulda loved ya
There you were, I was blinded After love, swore I couldn't find it A seduction grabbed my hand Ooh, my body screamed, but my heart just didn't understand
Life between the sheets is fine If all you want to make this time But if you want to make it last Ooh, you'll lose control if you drive too fast
I shoulda loved ya I shoulda loved ya Ooh, when I touched ya I shoulda loved ya
Going down for the count Now I'm in, but you are out My memories are my obsession Beggin' for attention, ooh yeah
Apprehending all my criminal need That stole your heart, then left you to bleed Those days are over, baby, yes, I swear Just say the word and I'll be there
I shoulda loved ya I shoulda loved ya Ooh, when I touched ya It made too much of you
I shoulda loved ya I shoulda loved ya Ooh, when I touched ya I shoulda loved ya
I shoulda loved ya I shoulda loved ya Ooh, when I touched ya I shoulda loved ya
I shoulda loved ya I shoulda loved ya Ooh, when I touched ya I shoulda loved ya
I shoulda loved ya (Whoa...whoa...whoa...whoa...whoa...whoa...) I shoulda loved ya (I-I shoulda loved you) Ooh, when I touched ya It made too much of you (Yeah..ooh...ooh...)
I shoulda loved ya (Ooh, my baby, baby, baby, baby, babe) I shoulda loved ya (Said I-I shoulda loved you) I shoulda loved ya (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah) I shoulda loved ya (I shoulda loved you)
Ik droom voor jou In groen en blauw Een eiland in de zon Met hier en daar Zeg jij me waar Een beekje en een bron
Een eiland uit Duizendeen nacht Waar iedereen nog weet Waarom de liefde liefde heet En waar ik jou In groen en blauw Steeds in m'n armen hou
Een eiland als een zoen En duizend valdegroen Dat dobbert op een blauwe zee Een eiland met een zon Die nooit meer ondergaat En die maar schijnt en schijnt Tot in de kleinste straat
Ik droom voor jou In groen en blauw Een eiland in de zon Waar alles vlacht En zingt en lacht Sinds het met jou begon
Een eiland uit Duizendeen nacht Waar iedereen nog weet Waarom de liefde liefde heet En waar ik jou In groen en blauw Steeds in m'n armen hou En waar ik jou In groen en blauw Steeds in m'n armen hou
Had enough of my yesterdays I can't go back to mistakes that I've made Had enough of my dark side And the hard ride that we've been through And now I've got so much to prove So don't let go, I've been a heart-selfish fool It's a feeling I'm rising above I'll give you love, true love, true blue love Give you true blue love And I know into one heart that shattered Tenderness is the only thing that matters Don't turn away from true blue love Running hard in an empty race Just take a look at the lines on this face In my eyes you can measure the miles But no one can measure desire So take my hand, can you feel how it burns And don't let go till your heart finally learns Why this wandering soul has returned To give you love, true love, true blue love Give you true blue love And I know into one heart that shattered Tenderness is the only thing that matters Don't turn away from true blue love And I know into one soul that's healing Loneliness is the only thing you're feeling Don't turn away from true blue love I'll give you love, true love, true blue love Give you true blue love I know into one heart that shattered Tenderness is the only thing that matters Don't turn away from true blue love And I know into one soul that's healing Loneliness is the only thing you're feeling Don't turn away from true blue love

Never been a millionaire and I tell you mama I don't care Never gonna own a race-horse or a fast back mid-engine Porsche Don't think I'll own a private jet on the Stock Exchange I'm no threat So won't you help me make up my mind Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Sitting in the moonlight glow excuse me if my feelings show Watching all the trucks roll by dreaming up an alibi You see, back home I'm considered the fool but maybe they're right I don't know So can't you help make up my mind Don't you think I'd better get myself back home Who cares
Daddy says he'll buy me car to drive just as far as I need He wants me back at any expense He's got a lot more money than sense Funny but now that I'm gone they all wanna be concerned Oh please can you make up my mind Don't you think I'd better get myself back home Just don't know what to do Maybe I'll walk, maybe I'll ride, maybe I'll never ever decide
Get out da way I gotta get on home I gotta get home as soon as I can

I guess I should pity me But I don't because you see I have loved and I have learned And as far as I'm concerned
I should care I should go around weeping I should care I should go without sleeping Strangley enough I sleep well 'Cept for a dream or two But then I count my sheep well Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep
I should care I should let it upset me I should care But it just doesn't get me Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you! But I should care and I do!

True Composer(s): Gary Kemp Performer(s): Spandau Ballet
So true funny how it seems always in time, but never in line for dreams Head over heels when toe to toe This is the sound of my soul this is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh I want the truth to be said
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue dissolve the nerves that have just begun Listening to Marvin (all night long) This is the sound of my soul this is the sound
Always slipping from my hands Sets a time of its own Take your seaside arms and write the next line Oh I want the truth to be known
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true
I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh I want the truth to be said
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true
I Should Be Sleeping Composer(s): Lisa Drew; Shaye Smith Performer(s): Emerson Drive; Hit Crew
I never knew there were such great movies On TV at 3 a.m. I never guessed that at midnight Tuesday I'd could have pizza ordered in I never been a real night owl But these days I'm all turned around There's only one thing I'm sure of right now
I should be sleepin' Instead of keepin' these late hours I've been keepin' I've been pacing and retracing Every step of every move And even though I'm feelin' so right I'm so happy still I know I should be sleepin' Instead of dreamin' about you
I never knew that I was funny and I went and made you laugh Never like a girl to call me honey But you did and I like that I keep thinkin' about your smile Tryin' to read between the lines Looks like I'll be up for awhile
I should be sleepin' Instead of keepin' these late hours I've been keepin' I've been pacing and retracing Every step of every move And even though I'm feelin' so right I'm so happy still I know I should be sleepin' Instead of dreamin' about you
How could just three days (just three days) One great kiss (one great kiss)
It's way too soon (way too soon) To be obsesssing like this
I should be sleepin' Instead of keepin' these late hours I've been keepin' I've been pacing and retracing Every step of every move And even though I'm feelin' so right I'm so happy still I know I should be sleepin' Instead of dreamin' about you
