Two Hearts Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Philip Bailey - Phil Collins - Lamont Dozier - Maurice White
Performer(s): Phil Collins
Well, there was no reason to believe
she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there to behind you
just to remind you
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
You know we're two hearts
believing in just one mind
Cos there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her
and it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts
believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place
in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her
We're two hearts...
Te Espero

Pasa el tiempo y sin ti no sé vivir la razón es para mí siempre sufrir y ahora el viento al pasar me da a entender que en la vida sólo a ti esperaré
Yo recuerdo tu mirar y tu besar tu sonrisa bajo el sol primaveral estoy solo sin saber lo que tú harás en mi alma hay dolor al esperar
Ven... a mí ven no tardes más ven por favor te ruego yo no podré esperar ven a mí yo quiero saber si has de venir por fin así dímelo amor
Es la herida que envejece sin piedad más mi amor siempre será eternidad en mis blancas noches tú revivirás el recuerdo de mi amor al despertar
En mi mente siempre como un altar y tu rostro grabo en mí para soñar el momento ha de llegar muy pronto ya y veré la realidad al despertar
Ven... ven a mí ven, ven no tardes más ven por favor te ruego yo no podré esperar ven... oh ven a mí yo... yo quiero saber si has de venir por fin así dímelo amor ...
Kingston Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Si tu rêves de tropiques, c'est vraiment tropical Le reggae dans la rue, calypso dans la salle Si tu veux tout de suite qu'on réponde aux questions Remonte dans ton jet et retourne à Nation Tu trouveras ici non pas ce que tu penses Non pas ce que tu cherches, ça n'a pas d'importance La beauté, la violence, posées sur la balance Affamées comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
J'écoute à la radio une chanson d'amour Qui dit qu'il n'y a qu'un Dieu, un pays, trois couleurs Douze tribus dans la Bible, des coups d'flingues dans la cible Des blancs pour le gâteau, cinq cent mille au ghetto Un million dans la ville qui brûle en plein soleil Deux millions dans une île, juste en-dessous du ciel Affamés comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
Si tu prends ma machette juste entre les oreilles C'est fini pour la fête, fini pour le soleil Plus j'ai faim, plus je fume, plus je fume, plus je crois Le Dieu qui m'a bâti doit fumer comme moi Je suis beau comme lui, je danse comme un fauve Le lion des rastas rôde dans les villas Affamé comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
Cadenas sur les grilles, des familles d'en haut La brume qui scintille au-dessus du ghetto A Trensh Town ça bouge, t'arrête pas aux feux rouges A Tivoli Garden, no good man La lumière qui saute, Kingston est dans le noir Les gun-men qui rôdent transformés en passoires Et la mort qui s'en va, affamée comme moi...
Well, I remember the sparks that flew In the summer of '79 My brother went wild For a pretty girl's smile But he didn't care that she was mine
We fought each other Like never before And beat till we were black and blue And when we told her it was time She'd made up her mind She said, "I've had it with the both of you"
That was when the pact was made, uh No woman could sever We swore it brother for the rest of our lives We would stick together forever
'Cause
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one (woo hoo hoo) It's double the pleasure babe It's triple the fun I said Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one (better than one) It'll make you come undone Two heads are better than one
Well we found ourselves in Vegas The city of sin We were restless and looking to play When this little blonde dolly In the hotel lobby Blew a kiss as she walked our way She said, "I'm feelin kind of lonely" And gave us a wink Feeling bold we expressed our intentions We said, "you gotta have both" She said, "That's a joke." "It takes two, just to get my attention"
Both to share and share alike, uh That's a part of our lifestyle So I'm gonna tell you baby Just where we stand If you won't love us both It ain't what's wild
Because
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one (woo hoo hoo) It's double the pleasure Triple the fun I said Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one It'll make you come undone Two heads are better than one
We've come this far together It's too late for turning back But it's only fair to warn you That when you rock with the boys You never come back (oh no) Hey!
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one (woo hoo hoo) It's double the pleasure Triple the fun I'll tell ya Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one (better than one) It'll make you come undone Nothing's better than
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one (woo hoo hoo) It's double the pleasure babe I'ts triple the fun Two heads Are better than one (better than one) It'll make you come undone
Two heads are better than one (one) Two heads are better than one (one) Two heads are better than one (one)
Whoa whoa whoa, baby Two heads are better than one (one) Two heads are better than one (one) Two heads are better than one (one)
Ich Denk' An Dich Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Ben Juris Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Manchmal kommt ein Tag im Leben Den man nie vergessen kann So war's auch bei unserm Abschied Als die Einsamkeit begann Tränen war'n in deinen Augen Doch da sagte ich dir leis
Ich denk' an dich wenn die Kraniche zieh'n Und wenn der Frühling erwacht Ich denk' an dich wenn weisser Flieder blüht Ich denk' an dich und werde auf Dich warten Ich denk' an dich denn so schön war die Zeit Schön war die Zeit nur mit dir Ich denk' an dich und fühle du denkst da auch an mich Und kommst bald bald wieder zu mir
Jeder hat so seine Sorgen einer wenig, einer mehr Doch weil wir uns beide lieben ist das alles nicht so schwer Einmal sehen wir uns wieder glaube mir wo du auch bist
Ich denk' an dich wenn die Kraniche zieh'n Und wenn der Frühling erwacht Ich denk' an dich wenn weisser Flieder blüht Ich denk' an dich und werde auf Dich warten Ich denk' an dich denn so schön war die Zeit Schön war die Zeit nur mit dir Ich denk' an dich und fühle du denkst da auch an mich Und kommst bald bald wieder zu mir
Down the way, where the nights are gay and the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship and when I reach Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way won't be back for many a day My heart is down my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Sounds of laughter everywhere and the dancing girls swing to and through I must declare my heart is there thou I've been from Maine to Mexico
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way won't be back for many a day My heart is down my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
At the market you can hear ladies cry out while on their heads they bear acky rice, salt, fish are nice and the rum is fine any time a year
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way won't be back for many a day My heart is down my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town

Two Heads Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
You want two heads on your body
And you've got two mirrors in your hand
Priests are made of brick with gold crosses on a stick
And your nose is too small for this land
Inside your head is your town
Inside your room your jail
Inside your mouth the elephant's trunk
And booze, the only key to your bail
Two heads can be put together
And you can fill both your feet with sand
No one will know you've gutted your mind
But what will you do with your bloody hands?
Your lions are fighting with chairs
Your arms are incredibly fat
Your women are tired of dying alive
If you've had any women at that
Wearing your comb like an ax in your head
List'ning for signs of life
Children are sucking on stone and lead
And chasing their hoops with a knife
New breasts and jewels for the girl
Keep them polished and shining
Put a lock on her belly at night, sweet life
For no child of mine
Want two heads on your a- a- body
And you've got two mirrors in your ha-a-a-a-and-a
Ich Denk An Dich
((French Version: Ce Sera Moi (Nana Mouskouri))
Composer(s): Christoph Busse - A. Taylor
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Wenn der leichte Wind leise durch das Tal weht Und wenn Du den Adler fliegen siehst Wenn ein weicher Regen Tränen auf Dein Herz legt Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich
Bin ohne Dich in diesem fremden Land Auf einem Weg dem ich nicht folgen kann So viele Zeichen an der Wand keines ist von Dir Ich träum mich langsam fort von hier eh ich mich verliere
Wenn der leichte Wind leise durch das Tal weht Und wenn Du den Adler fliegen siehst Wenn ein weicher Regen Tränen auf Dein Herz legt Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich
Und wenn Du schläfst dann halt ein Fenster auf für mich Denn ich bin der Wind der durch Dein Zimmer fliegt Hör auf jeden Flügelschlag denn der Adler das bin ich Und an einem Morgen irgendwann komm ich selbst zurück
Wenn der leichte Wind leise durch das Tal weht Und wenn Du den Adler fliegen siehst Wenn ein weicher Regen Tränen auf Dein Herz legt Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich
Verliebte schau'n bei Nacht die Sterne an Vereint in dem was auch der andre sehen kann Ich hab keine Sterne hier nur Lichter dieser Stadt Blenden meine Augen so und jagen durch die Nacht
Wenn der leichte Wind leise durch das Tal weht Und wenn Du den Adler fliegen siehst Wenn ein weicher Regen Tränen auf Dein Herz legt Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich

The night seems to fade But the moonlight lingers on There are wonders for everyone The stars shine so bright But they`re fading after dawn There is magic in Kingston Town

Oh Kingston Town The place I long to be If I had the whole world I would give it away Just to see, the girls at play Ooh, ooh, ooh
And when I am king surely I would need a queen And a palace and everything, yeah And now I am king And my queen will come at dawn She`ll be waiting in Kingston Town
(Chorus)

Two Glasses, Joe Composer(s): Cindy Walker Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Leon Rausch
Set up two glasses, Joe And turn the jukebox low And let me set here and reminisce While, I pretend that she is still sitting here with me The way she did not long ago
We use to paint the town red And dance until two I dont paint it red no more But Im paintin it blue
He stole her love, I know But he cant stop me, Joe From having just a dream or two
Setup two glasses, Joe Maybe you didnt know But theres a memory in the room A memory that walks A memory that talks And haunts me everywhere I go
Im just a fool that loves her And will till I die From the very first hello until the last goodbye
And this is it you know So, fill Two Glasses, Joe Then leave me here alone to cry
Ich Bin Von Kopf Bis Fuss Auf Liebe Eingestellt English Title: Falling In Love Again - 1930 Composer(s): Friedrich Holländer First recording/First release by: Marlene Dietrich - 1929/1930 Covered by multiple other artists
Ein rätselhafter Schimmer Ein "je ne sais-pas-quoi" Liegt in den Augen immer Bei einer schönen Frau Doch wenn sich meine Augen Bei einem vis-à-vis Ganz tief in seine saugen Was sprechen dann sie?
Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt Denn das ist meine Welt Und sonst gar nichts Das ist, was soll ich machen Meine Natur Ich kann halt lieben nur Und sonst gar nichts
Männer umschwirr'n mich Wie Motten um das Licht Und wenn sie verbrennen, Ja dafür kann ich nicht Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt Ich kann halt lieben nur Und sonst gar nichts
Was bebt in meinen Händen In ihrem heißen Druck? Sie möchten sich verschwenden Sie haben nie genug Ihr werdet mir verzeihen Ihr müßt' es halt versteh'n Es lockt mich stets von neuem Ich find' es so schön!
Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt Denn das ist meine Welt Und sonst gar nichts Das ist, was soll ich machen Meine Natur Ich kann halt lieben nur Und sonst gar nichts
Männer umschwirr'n mich Wie Motten um das Licht Und wenn sie verbrennen Ja dafür kann ich nichts Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt Ich kann halt lieben nur Und sonst gar nichts Ow

Two Girls Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt First release: Townes Van Zandt - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton they didn't even look like clouds I was underneath the weather my friends looked a crowd The swimmin' hole was full of rum I tried to find out why All I learned was this my friend you got to swim before you fly
I got two girls one's in heaven and one's below Oh, one I love with all my heart and one I do not know
Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse Passed by not long ago They asked me where the action was I said I did not know As they disappeared into the brush I heard the driver say He's a little slow between the ears He's always been that way
Jolly Jane just lays around and listens with her mouth she's had about a dozen husbands but the last one pulled out Now, who's gonna bring her dinner through the weary years ahead all she'll get from me is sympathy got no time to see she's fed
It's cold down on the bayou they say it's in your mind but the moccasins are treadin' ice and leavin strange designs Cajuns say the last time that this happend they weren't here All Beaumont's full of penguins and I'm a-playin' it by ear

Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
Get my order right
Give me turnip greens and a bowl full of beans
And a date with you tonight
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
You're sure looking pert
I want a slice of ham and a candy jam
With a kiss for my dessert
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen
You're bubbling over with charm
You belong on a cover of a magazine
Or better yet my arm
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
Say when you'll be through
And no matter how late I'll be here waiting
Just outside for you
Waitress, waitress, apple of my eye
Here's a 20 cent tip for you
I could sit for days
And never quit gazing in your eyes of blue
Why you're slinging that coffee and pie
I'll never, never know
You could be the queen of a movie screen
Or a television show
You're a uniform angel, you're a dream
You're heavenly beautiful too
Honey, we'd go together like peaches and cream
Under a lover's moon
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
Say when you'll be through
And no matter how late I'll be here waiting
Just outside for you
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen
You're bubbling over with charm
You belong on a cover of a magazine
Or better yet my arm
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
Say when you'll be through
And no matter how late I'll be here waiting
Just outside for you
