(Someone's Been) Telling You Stories Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
So you've heard I've been flyin' and tryin' to get into somebody new And I'm off on a new love and don't hardly ever think about you He's gotten so cold He ain't the same old lover you used to know He's in a nose dive barely half alive and just about to let go
Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling) Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling you) Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling you lies) And they just ain't true They just ain't true No, they just ain't true They just ain't true
So you heard I got laid and betrayed by a maid in a one night stand And I'm caught in the middle of something I don't really understand He's gotten so lost He's been double-crossed by a change in the wind He's gone solo again and he can't slow down now to pick up a friend
Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling) Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling you) Someone's been telling you stories (someone's been telling you lies) And they just ain't true They just ain't true No, they just ain't true They just ain't true
So you've heard I've been flyin' and tryin' to get into somebody new And I'm off on a new love and don't hardly ever think about you He's gotten so cold He ain't the same old lover you used to know He's gone solo again He's just using you just to sell out a show Someone's been telling you stories(someone's been telling) Someone's been telling you stories(someone's been telling you) Someone's been telling you stories(someone's been telling you lies) And they just ain't true They just ain't true Oh no, they just ain't true They just ain't true
Een Speeldoos Composer(s): Pieter Goemans First performance by: Annie Palmen - 1963
Een speeldoos, een speeldoos uit lang vervlogen tijd Er was een heel klein herderinnetje van breekbaar wit porselein En als de speeldoos tinkelde dan danste zij sierlijk op 't refrein
Er stond een herder tegenover haar, maar onbereikbaar was hij Want zelfs als zij de speeldoos om een dansje vroeg, kwam hij niet dichterbij
Ook hij kon niet gelukkig zijn, zo ver van haar vandaan Maar een fee kwam zacht op een lentenacht En raakte hen heel voorzichtig aan De herder en z'n herderinnetje zijn nu voor altijd een paar En als u dit verhaaltje niet geloven wilt Vraag die fee er dan zelf een keertje naar
Want dit sprookje is waar
Ook hij kon niet gelukkig zijn, zo ver van haar vandaan Maar een fee kwam zacht op een lentenacht En raakte hen heel voorzichtig aan De herder en z'n herderinnetje zijn nu voor altijd een paar En als u dit verhaaltje niet geloven wilt Vraag die fee er dan zelf een keertje naar
Want die twee zijn nu werkelijk bij elkaar Dus dit sprookje is waar...
(She's My) Solid Booze Composer(s): Alexander C. Derouge Performer(s): Falco
And we are growing along spiritual lines Will never mean we should stop to have big fun time Oh oh oh Should it be for the very first of all to pray And to report it to your next in an effective way
But whatever our ideals turn to be We must be willing to break it through We must be willing to make amends where we Ever have to put some harm on too
She is my she's my all She is my all surrounding solid booze you know She is my all surrounding solid booze you know She is my all surrounding solid booze you know
And we are growing along the spiritual lines Would never mean we should believe in all those Different kinds Oh oh oh Could it be the very first of all to recognize It's the better sense to take it once and give it twice
But whatever our ideals turn out to be We should be willing to break it through We should be willing to realize That attitudes have got us too

Pastorale Composer(s): Boudewijn De Groot; Lennaert Nijgh Performer(s): Liesbeth List & Ramses Shaffy
Mijn hemel blauw met gouden harp Mijn wolkentorens, ijskristallen Kometen, manen en planeten, aah alles draait om mij En door de witte wolkenpoort tot diep onder de golven Boort mijn vuur, mijn liefde, zich in de aarde En bij het water speelt een kind En alle schelpen die het vindt gaan blinken als ik lach
'k Hou van je warmte op mijn gezicht Ik hou van de koperen kleur van je licht Ik geef je water in mijn hand En schelpen uit het zoute zand Ik heb je lief, zo lief
Ik scheur de rotsen met mijn stralen Verhoog de meren in de dalen en Onweersluchten doe ik vluchten, aah als de regen valt Verberg je ogen in een hand Voordat m'n glimlach ze verbrandt M'n vuur, m'n liefde, mijn gouden ogen 't Is beter als je nog wat wacht Want even later komt de nacht en schijnt de koele maan
De nacht is te koud, de maan te grijs Toe neem me toch mee naar je hemelpaleis Daar wil ik zijn alleen met jou En stralen in het hemelblauw Ik heb je lief, zo lief
Als ik de aarde ga verwarmen Laat ik haar leven in m'n armen Van sterren weefde ik het verre, aah het noorderlicht Maar soms ben ik als kolkend lood Ik ben het leven en de dood In vuur, in liefde, in alle tijden M'n kind ik troost je, kijk omhoog Vandaag span ik mijn regenboog Die is alleen voor jou
Nee nooit sta ik een seconde stil 'k Wil liever branden neem me mee Geen mens kan mij dwingen wanneer ik niet wil Wanneer je vanavond gaat slapen in zee Geen leven dat ik niet begon En vliegen langs jouw hemelbaan Je kunt niet houden van de zon Ik wil niet meer bij jou vandaan
Ik heb je lief, zo lief Ik heb je lief, zo lief Ik heb je lief, zo lief Ik heb je lief, zo lief Ik heb je lief, zo lief

Pastora Do Tempo Composer(s): Ednardo Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
O cavaleiro do medo Usa do ouro a razão Pra ofuscar os meus olhos E confundir minha emoção
Não sabe que a luz que me guia É da estrela que irradia A linda Pastora do Tempo Que guarda o meu povo eterno E livre o meu pensamento
Quem faz a história da vida Com ela rompeu as entranhas do chão Quem quer saber do que está escondido Procura no fundo dos olhos do povo E dentro do seu coração
Vão com o vento as palavras São como pombos-correio Mas estão sempre atrasados Pois o seu vôo é lento E o meu pensamento é ligeiro
Silverado Composer(s): George McCorkle Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band
As a young man, I was raised by a man of the cloth And taught to judge men equal and not to find their faults Until one day, I witnessed a tragic thing A man laid on the church steps, slain
And as the smoke cleared, the tall man he holstered his gun The bright day ended and a cloud covered the sun I found hate in my heart that I'd never known before I'd see this man hang and that's the one thing that I know for sure
Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree And you'll die in misery
His face remained in my eyes as I grew through the years I practised shooting every day while trying to hold back the tears I traveled through Oklahoma and Texas to the Rio Grande Knowing when I met Silverado, the Lord would steady my hand
Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree And you'll die in misery, ye-eah
Then the day came, I'd dreamed of for years Silverado stood before me and my heart it pounded in fear As he turned and saw my eyes, he knew why I'd come Then, without the blink of an eye, he went for his gun
As our guns did fire, tears come to my eyes When he collapsed before me, I dropped my gun and sighed Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree And you'll die in misery
Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree Yes, you'll die in misery
Pasties And A G-String Composer(s): Tom Waits Performer(s): Tom Waits; Jeffrey Lee Pierce
Smelling like a brewery, looking like a tramp I ain't got a quarter, got a postage stamp Been five o'clock shadow boxing all around the town Talking with the old man, sleeping on the ground Bazanti bootin al zootin al hoot and Al Cohn Sharing this apartment with a telephone pole And a fish-net stocking, spike-heel shoes Strip tease, prick tease, car keys blues And the porno floor show, live nude girls Dreamy and creamy and brunette curls Chesty Morgan and Watermelon Rose Raise my rent and take off all your clothes With trench coats, magazines, a bottle full of rum She's so good, make a dead man come Pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze Wrinkles and Cherry and Twinkie and Pinkie and Fifi live from Gay Paree Fanfares, rim shots, back stage, who cares, all this hot burlesque for me
Cleavage, cleavage, thighs and hips From the nape of her neck to the lipstick lips Chopped and channeled and lowered and lewd And the cheater slicks and baby moons She's a-hot and ready, creamy and sugared And the band is awful and so are the tunes
Crawling on her belly, and shaking like jelly And I'm getting harder than Chinese algebrassieres And cheers from the (hmm) compendium here Hey sweetheart they're yelling for more You're squashing out your cigarette butts on the floor And I like Shelly, and you like Jane And what was the girl with the snakeskin's name? And it's an early-bird matinee, come back any day Get you a little something that you can't get at home Get you a little something that you can't get at home It's pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze Popcorn, front row, higher than a kite, and I'll be back tomorrow night And I'll be back tomorrow night
Past, Present, And Future Composer(s): Artie Butler; Jerry Leiber; George Morton Performer(s): The Shangri-Las; Grant Green; Abby Travis
The past, past, well now let me tell you about the past The past is filled with silent joys and broken toys Laughing girls and teasing boys Was I ever in love? I called it love- I mean, it felt like love There were moments when, well, there were moments when
Present, Go out with you? Why not? Do I like to dance? Of course Take a walk along the beach tonight? I'd love to But don't try to touch me, don't try to touch me Cos that will never happen again Shall we dance
The future, tomorrow? well tomorrow's a long way off Maybe someday I'll have somebody's hand Maybe somewhere someone will understand You know I used to sing- a tisket a tasket a green and yellow basket I'm all packed up and I'm on my way and I'm gonna fall in love But at the moment it doesn't look good At the moment it will never happen again
I miei sorrisi e i tuoi si sono spenti Noi camminiamo insieme e siamo soli ci restano soltanto lunghi silenzi che voglion dire... Addio... Addio... Il nostro amore, acqua di mare è diventato sale le nostre labbra inaridite non hanno più parole Guardami... guardami lo sai che non e vero non è vero finito il nostro amore Addio! Addio! Addio! Addio! Guardami... guardami, ascoltami, fermati Non è vero perché tu stai piangendo perché noi lo sappiamo che ci vogliamo bene che ci vogliamo bene... e ci lasciamo Addio! Addio! Addio! Addio!
Passionnément, d'une invincible flamme Passionnément, jusqu'au dernier dimanche Passionnément, j'embrasserai ton âme D'un feu d'amour, qui ne s'éteindra pas
Les vents nous porterons vers des terres lointaines Ou l'on vit de légendes Je vaincrai les dragons des palais de l'enfers Tu seras châtelaine J'allumerai tes yeux au soleil de printemps Qui oublie d'être sage Tu auras cet enfant, nous en ferons le dieu D'un jardin de nuages
Passionnément, Passionnément, humm humm humm
Passionnément, nous vivrons de chimères Passionnément, jusqu'aux derniers dimanches Passionnément, en brûlant d'éphémères Nous oublierons, la cruelle habitude
Je pendrai a ton coup la clé de mes hasards Tu seras bohémienne Tu verras l'océan de mes rêves bizarres Et tu seras sirène Au coup de nos années, je coucherai ton cur dans un lit de tendresse Et nos corps embrassés comme une forteresse Feront la guerre au temps
Silver Wings Composer(s): Merle Haggard First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Silver wings shining in the sunlight Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Don't leave me i cried Don't take that airplane ride 'Cause you locked me out of your mind And left me standing here behind
Silver wings shining in the sunlight Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Silver wings shining in the sunlight Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Passionate Kisses Composer(s): Lucinda Williams Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter; Lucinda Williams
Is it too much to ask I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back Food to fill me up And warm clothes and all that stuff Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
Is it too much to demand I want a full house and a rock and roll band Pens that won't run out of ink And cool quiet and time to think Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
Do I want too much Am I going overboard to want that touch I shout it out to the night "Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right" Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
Petit Bonhomme First performance by: Camillo Felgen - 1962
Petit bonhomme, au bout de ton enfance Petit bonhomme, il faudra se quitter Tu partiras comme on part en vacances Sur les chemins de la liberté
Petit bonhomme, ainsi la vie nous mène Et les enfants s'échappent des parents J'ai eu la joie, bientôt j'aurai la peine Et je te comprendrai, je t'aime et j'attends
Je t'écoute dormir et tes rêves d'enfant Me font des souvenirs pour quand tu seras grand Plus grand que moi, demain déjà
Petit bonhomme, il faut que je te dise Petit bonhomme, et tu n'y croiras pas Mais quelquefois j'ai fait d'autres valises Vite défaites à cause de toi
Petit bonhomme, au jour du grand passage Je serai seul et tu ne viendras pas Mais je dirai: "Mon fils est en voyage" "Il est allé beaucoup plus loin, beaucoup plus loin que moi"
Passing The Time Composer(s): Ginger Baker; Mike Taylor Performer(s): Cream
It is a cold winter Away is the songbird And gone is her traveller She waits at home
The sun is on holiday No leaves on the trees The animals sleep While cold north wind blows
The snowflakes are falling The roof a white blanket Theres ice on the window pane She waits alone
She sits by the fireside The room is so warm Her children are sleeping She waits in their home
Passing the time Passing the time Everything fine Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, everything fine Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, everything fine Passing the time, wine and time rhyme Passing the time
It is a long winter Away is the summer She waits for her traveller So far from home
She sits by the fireside The room is so warm Theres ice on the window Shes lonely alone
