Zijn We Werkelijk Te Oud, Meneer? (Adapted from: Is She Really Going Out With Him? - 1979) (German Version: Geht Die Süße Wirklich Aus Mit Ihm? - 1991 Composer(s): Joe Jackson; Patrick De Witte Performer(s): Patrick Riguelle & Paul Poelmans - 2003
Hugo's sikje is ouder dan de nieuwe ministers Bartje Somers is jonger dan Hugo zijn pijp André Denys (wijs!) Hij wordt zelfs beschouwd als Methusalem Ook Gabriëls moest opzij, hij wordt stilaan wat te rijp
Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer? Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds? Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer? Nee wij zijn niet versleten We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen
De dictatuur van de jeugd, de dictatuur der vernieuwing Ons grijze haar krijgt geen eerbied meer en geen respect Denys (wijs!) Hij werd al 3 keren over 't hoofd gezien Men wil ministers die wrapper konden zijn op Ketnet
Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer? Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds? Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer? Nee wij zijn niet versleten We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen
In een korte broek Komen zij naar de wetstraat zestien Nu is het genoeg Luister goed Wij zijn lang niet seniel Zo gaat dat niet, wij zijn nog kwiek Hey, hey, hey
Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer? Zijn wij plotseling nu rijp voor 't Zilverfonds? Zijn wij werkelijk te oud, meneer? Nee wij zijn niet versleten We gaan bijlange niet met pensioen
Night Calls Composer(s): Jeff Lynne Performer(s): Joe Cocker
The night gang started working With a mile of southern road As I watched I got to thinking You ain't never coming home I looked out of nowhere There was nobody at all To get me help To get through to you
I'm here making night calls Night calls Making night calls Night calls Making night calls I gave
I tried too hard to reach you But you must be moving fast All my hopes about the future Will just live on Into the past You know that it ain't easy And the twilight starts to fade Shouldn't you The chill of the morning Thinking of the plans we made
Oh, night calls Making night calls Let it ring The night calls Making night calls Oh, night calls Give up those night calls
Is Nothing Sacred Composer(s): Jim Steinman; Don Black Performer(s): Meat Loaf
If a love as strong as ours couldn't make it all the way Can anything make sense at all? If a love so deep and true couldn't stand the test of time Then Mount Everest could slide and Jerusalem could fall
Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word? Is a promise something people used to keep when love was worth fighting for? If we can say goodbye, if we can say goodbye Is nothing sacred anymore? If we can say goodbye Is nothing sacred anymore?
I can hear the final words, every sentance that was said Don't know what turned our lives around It doesn't matter who was right, there's no justice in a dream Never thought that a heart could break without making any sound
Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word? Is a promise something people used to keep when love was worth fighting for? If we can say goodbye, if we can say goodbye Is nothing sacred anymore? (if we can say goodbye) If we can say goobye Is nothing sacred anymore?
Our love was certain as the dawn, as solid and save as love can be (our love was as strong) Our love was a star to wish upon (aah) And you though that I'd saved you, could've sworn that you saved me (could've sworn that you saved me)
Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word? (just another word) Is a promise something people used to keep when love was worth fighting for? (fighting for, fighting for) If we can say goodbye, if we can say goodbye Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word? Is a promise something people used to keep when love was worth fighting for? If we can say goodbye, if we can say goodbye Is nothing sacred anymore? (if we can say goodbye) (if we can say goodbye) Is nothing sacred anymore? Is nothing sacred anymore? Is nothing sacred anymore? Is nothing sacred anymore?.............
Night By Night Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan; Ana Popovic
Its a beggar's life, said the queen of Spain But dont tell it to a poor man Cause hes got to kill for every thrill The best he can Everywhere around me I see jealousy and mayhem Because no men have all their peace of mind To carry them Well I dont really care If its wrong or if its right But until my ship comes in Ill live night by night
When the joker tried to tell me I could cut it in this rube town When he tried to hang that sign on me I said take it down When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice Theyre gonna do it with a shotgun Yes, Im cashing in this ten-cent life For another one
Well I aint got the heart To lose another fight So until my ship comes in Ill live night by night
Well I dont really care If its wrong or if its right But until my ship comes in Ill live night by night

Night Boat Composer(s): Duran Duran; Simon LeBon; Nick Rhodes; Andy Taylor; John Taylor; Roger Taylor Performer(s): Duran Duran
Standing on the edge of the quay No light flashes on the water for me Fog in my mind darkness in my eyes Silently screaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns Stillness overcomes me in the night Listen to the rising water moan
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
Shadows all through me shudder away Echo me echo me am I alone Or is the river alive cause it Echoes me echoes me echoes me
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat Waiting, waiting for the nightboat I'm waiting I'm waiting waiting for the nightboat I'm waiting for the nightboat
Is It True What They Say About Dixie? Composer(s): Irving Caesar; Sammy Lerner; Gerald Marks Performer(s): Al Jolson and multiple other artists
Is it true what they say about Dixie? Does the sun really shine all the time? Do the sweet magnolias blossom at ev'rybody's door? Do folks keep eating possum Till they can't eat no more?
Is it true what they say about Swanee? Is a dream by that stream so sublime? Do they laugh, do they love, like they say in ev'ry song? If it's true, that's where I belong
Where the jungle shadows fall Like the tick tick tick of the eye of the clock You're standing up against the wall Like the drip drip drip of the rain drops When the sun shines through So a voice within me Keeps revealing you...you
Night and day You are the one Only you beneath the moon And under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter, baby where you are I think of you Night and day
Day and night Why is it so That this longing for you follows wherever I go In the roaring traffic gloom In the silence of my lonely room I think of you Night and day
Night and day Under the hide of me Though such a hungry yearning Burning inside of me This torment won't be through 'til you let me spend my life making love to you Day and night Night and day
Night and day Under the hide of me Oh, such a hungry yearning Burning, burning inside of me This torment won't be through 'til you let me spend my life making love to you
Is It Taboo? Composer(s): Albert De Bru; Edgar Leslie Performer(s): Dinah Shore; Artie Shaw
Whether or not you love me I dare to care Dreaming is sweet ecstasy So I aim high
Taboo, it's taboo To reach out for an angel's affection But what can I do When you keep smiling in my direction Taboo, it's taboo To exhibit such charms for inspection Who'll disobey the rule? Is it taboo to fall in love with you?
Taboo, it's taboo To exhibit such charms for inspection Who'll disobey the rule? Is it taboo to fall in love with you?
Night And Day ((French Version: Tout Le Jour, Toute La Nuit (Damia) - 1937))
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance: Fred Astaire - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists
Like the beat, beat, beat Of the tom-tom When the jungle shadows fall Like the tick, tick, tock Of the stately clock As it stands against the wall Like the drip, drip, drip Of the raindrops When the summer show'r is through So a voice within me Keeps repeating You, you, you
Night and day You are the one Only you Beneath the moon And under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter Darling, where you are I think of you Night and day
Day and night Why is it so That this longing for you follows Where-ever I go? In the roaring traffic's boom In the silence of my lonely room I think of you Night and day
Night and day Under the hide of me There's an Oh, such a hungry yearning Burning inside of me And its torment won't be through Till you let me spend my life Making love to you Day and night Night and day
Is It Still Over? Composer(s): Ken Bell; Larry Henley Performer(s): Randy Travis
Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall Just how the dream went And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine
Is it still over, are we still through Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you
That lie that I tried to slip by you Was told with good intentions It was just another way to say I love you And protect you from the truth Half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of pure prevention And trying to explain while I'm insane Is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do
Is it still over, are we still through Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you
If I repeat myself it's cause I've nothing else to do And I'm not too sure that I'm still over you
Is It Something You've Got? Composer(s): Barry Despenza; Carl Wolfolk Performer(s): Tyrone Davis
Oh when I first said I was leaving Girl, I didn't think I would have to stay gone so long Ah but now five weeks have ended And I just realized that I did you worng But just think y'all I thought I was a big thing But apparently she thought not There must be something that I'm missing Or is it something that she's got Oh baby what is that you got now baby
Oh I thought I had your mind right Cause this is what you led me to believe Oh but now I'm the one who's uptight And baby I'm the one who's got to plead But just think y'all, I thought I was a big thing But apparently she thought not There must be something that I'm missing Or is it something that she's got Oh baby what is that you got now baby
All your sweet lovin' baby Is oh so devastating to a man Ah but just like black magic baby I'm no fool but I couldn't understand But just think y'all I thought I was a big thing But apparently she thought not There must be something that I'm missing Or is it something that she's got Oh baby what is that you got now It makes me wanna cry Baby I love you Oh baby, oh baby, baby, baby
Nieuwe Liefde, Nieuwe Dromen Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Cahelo; Christill Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen Als een lentewind die stil Wat muziek maakt in de bomen Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw Kleuren net als regenbogen En dat komt alleen door jou
Het geluk is zo mooi als j'er zelf aan bouwt, Het komt nooit uit zichzelf naar je toe Na een traan komt weer een lach Na de nacht een nieuwe dag Met die zon in je hart Vergeet je leed en smart Het regent geluk op je neer
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen Als een lentewind die stil Wat muziek maakt in de bomen Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw Kleuren net als regenbogen En dat komt alleen door jou
Na een traan komt weer een lach Na de nacht een nieuwe dag Je bent niet meer alleen Kijk wat de liefde kan Het regent geluk om je heen
Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen Als een lentewind die stil Wat muziek maakt in de bomen Waai je nu doorheen mijn ziel Nieuwe liefde, nieuwe dromen Grijs wordt rood, geel en blauw Kleuren net als regenbogen En dat komt alleen door jou
Niets Meer Is Nog Hopeloos Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Andy Free Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Ik had de hoop reeds opgegeven En men dagboek toe gevouwd 't Was nog warm en vol van 't leven Maar het was op niets gebouwd Soms ging de vonk nog even branden In het midden van de strijd Maar even vlug sloot ik mijn handen weer Als zonde van de tijd Toen kwam jij plots als een zegen Als een golfslag aangedreven
En niets meer, niets meer is nog hopeloos Nee niets meer, niets meer is nog ademloos Niets meer houdt me tegen
'k Voel me slecht als ik je pijn doe En je afbek onterecht Maar de schuldvraag slaat nog steeds toe Als de twijfel met de vecht Maar dan kom jij uit de verte Slaap de wanhoop weer aan scherven
En niets meer, niets meer is nog hopeloos Ja niets meer, niets meer is nog ademloos Neen niets meer houdt me tegen Ik zal leven, leven Ik zal leven
Is It My Body Composer(s): Alice Cooper; Michael Bruce; Glen Buxton; Dennis Dunaway; Neal Smith Performer(s): Alice Cooper - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
What have I got that makes you want to love me Is it my body or someone I might be or somethin' inside me
You better tell me Tell me It's really up to you Have you got the time to find out Who I really am
What does it take to get inside of your mind Give me a break and take a chance for the very first time
You better tell me Tell me It's really up to you Have you got the time to find out Who I really am
What have I got that makes you want to love me Now is it my body or someone I might be or somethin' in side me
You better tell me Tell me It's really up to you Have you got the time to find out Who I really am
Is It Me? Composer(s): Tracy Pendarvis Performer(s): Tracy Pendarvis
Who do you want to love you? Who do you want to hold you? Who would you cry for, who would you die for? Is it me?
Who do you want to kiss you? Who do you want to miss you? Who would you yearn for, who would you burn for? Is it me?
When we're dancin' Yeah-yeah-yeah, you thrill me so When we're kissin' I never want to let you go
Who do you want to love you? Who do you want to hold you? Who would you cry for, who would you die for? Is it me?
When we're dancin' Yeah-yeah-yeah, you thrill me so When, when we're kissin' I never want to let you go
Who do you want to love you? Who do you want to hold you? Who would you cry for, who would you die for? Is it me? Is it me? Oh-oh... Is it me? Oh-oh...
Niemand Anders Dan Jij Composer(s): Jimmy Frey Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Vrouwen om me heen De lust en passie van een man Een wereld van verlangen Een paradijs waar dromen kan Uitdagend als ze zijn Soms onweerstaanbaar mooi Verleidelijk, bekoorlijk, steeds lief en frivool Maar als ik jou dan zie Komt de illusie tot leven Zijn alle charmes verweven In een enkele vrouw Niemand anders dan jij Geeft me meer dan die dromen Weet me zo te bekoren Niemand anders dan jij Soms is er die vrees Dat ik me alles heb verbeeld Dat ik je beeld creëerde Om niet meer alleen te zijn Maar als ik jou dan zie Komt de illusie tot leven Zijn alle charmes verweven In een enkele vrouw Niemand anders dan jij Geeft me meer dan die dromen Weet me zo te bekoren Niemand anders dan jij De ultieme vrouw dat ben jij voor mij Een oase van tederheid en een eindeloze intimiteit Je maakt me oneindig Want sterk als de dood is m'n liefde voor jou Je lichaam zo volmaakt Als in satijn gekleed Je beeldhouwt als een Venus Je lippen, je mond zo sensueel Je diepe warme blik Het golven van je zachte haar Doet me steeds weer genieten Van die liefdesnachten bij elkaar
