Musik Klingt In Die Welt Hinaus Composer(s): Cornelia Lackner First performance by: Egon Egemann - 1990
Sie war allein und niemand wollte sie Ich sah sie an und war verliebt in sie Sie wurde mein, es war so schön wie nie Die Geige sang mir diese Melodie
Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus Musik, die meine Geige spielt Musik hört man in jedem Haus Musik, die jeder fühlt Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus Musik, die meine Geige spielt Musik macht manches Märchen wahr Musik, so wunderbar
Sie spielt in Dur wenn sie die Muse küsst Und auch in Moll wenn ihr zum Weinen ist Ich bleib' ihr treu, möchte sie nie verliern Will zu ihr stehen, sie ist ein Teil von mir
Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus Musik, die meine Geige spielt Musik hört man in jedem Haus Musik, die jeder fühlt Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus Musik, die meine Geige spielt Musik macht manches Märchen wahr Musik, so wunderbar

Something In My Heart Composer(s): Wayland Patton Performer(s): Ricky Skaggs; Crowe Brothers; Tommy Webb
Well, I thought I was over you and that my heart was free I felt like those old memories had finally let me be So I picked up the phone to call a girl that I once knew But when she said hi, well girl, you know I wished that it was you
Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again Somethin' 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend, no Somethin' in my mind tells me your memory has no end Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Seems like only yesterday you promised you'd be mine And I sure thought I heard you say "until the end of time" Well, I guess I was wrong to think your love for me was true So here I am all brokenhearted, all because of you
Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again Somethin' 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend, no Somethin' in my mind tells me your memory has no end Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again

Hallo - Hallo Composer(s): Keld Heick - John Hatting - Torben Lendager First performance by: Lonnie Devantier - 1990
Kigger på mit ur, nu' du ganske sikkert hjemme Så jeg drøner ned ad trappen for at ringe til dig Men ned' i boksen står der én med mønter fremme Han ta'r flere op af lommen, mens han skuler til mig
Så er der fri, jeg ringer op og den er klar Men det er kun din automat, der gi'r mig svar
Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon Hallo, hallo Jeg lytter til din stemme Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en
Rådhusuret slår, og her står jeg nu og fryser Jeg er træt af smarte fyre, der skal imponere Jeg' godt forkølet, pudser næse, går og nyser Og ka' næsten ikke styre temperamentet mere
Jeg griber røret, men bli'r stadig holdt for nar For det' din dumme automat, der gi'r mig svar
Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon Hallo, hallo Jeg lytter til din stemme Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en
Jeg fodrer boksen med den sidste mønt jeg har Det er og bli'r din automat, der gi'r mig svar
Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon Hallo, hallo Jeg lytter til din stemme Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en
Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo Jeg vidste du var hjemme Det var rart, at du ku' ta' din telefon Hallo, hallo Jeg lytter til din stemme Selv om båndet slutter, er der stadig no'en Det var rart, at du ku' ta' din telefon
Something Good Composer(s): Richard Rodgers First performance by: Julie Andrews & Bill Lee - 1965
Maria: Perhaps I had a wicked childhood Perhaps I had a miserable youth But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past There must have been a moment of truth For here you are, standing there, loving me Whether or not you should So somewhere in my youth or childhood I must have done something good Nothing comes from nothing Nothing ever could So, somewhere in my youth or childhood I must have done something good
Captain: So here you are, standing there, loving me Whether or not, you should
Maria: So somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good
Both: Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could

I heard some of you got your families living in cages tall & cold And some just stay there and dust away past the age of old Is this true? Please let me talk to you

Eitt Lag Enn First performance by: Stjórnin - 1990
Með þér - verð ég eins og vera ber Alveg trylltur, kemst í takt við þig, þú tælir mig Ég fer - eftir því sem augað sér Þegar hugur girnist heimta ég, verð hættuleg
Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er Einn takt til! Tónar leika sér að Því sem heillar mig og hæfir, beint í hjartastað
Hjá mér - engin spurning um það er Þegar mætumst við á miðri leið, ég magna seið Það er - ofsa fjör sem fylgir þér Svo ég einhvern veginn umturnast, fæ æðiskast
Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er Einn takt til! Tónar leika sér að Því sem heillar mig og hæfir, beint í hjartastað
Ég er frjáls í faðmi þér, við förum hvert sem er Látum töfra lífsins tak' af okkur völd
Eitt lag enn, ekta sveiflu og hér Þreytist enginn, þú skalt dansa, það sem eftir er Einn takt til! Taflið snýst um það eitt Að við höldum áfram hraðar, hikum aldrei neitt
Að við höldum áfram, hraðar nú Hikum aldrei, ég og þú, - við neitt
Up In The World Composer(s): Clifford T. Ward Performer(s): Clifford T. Ward; Cliff Richard
You've come up in the world And it's all to your credit You made something of your life Like you always said you would But what ever happened to the girl I used to know and all those halcyon days of love?
You've come up in the world And it's such a shame You made success of a dream But it seems so empty now With your weak excuses and your Condescending ways and Your all-too-frequent nights alone
Something For The Boys Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Evelyn Dall and multiple other artists
Im always doing something Something for the boys Im always doing something For the lads if it adds to their joy So dont tell me its a wrong thing If Im out with em nightly till three cos Im always doing something for the boys Or theyre doing something for me
Back in the days of gifty giving When all Gods daddies had greens I was oh so busy living Beyond several gentlemens means I didnt care much where I fluttered Long as my bank roll was buttered But now my lifes completely cluttered With soldiers, sailors Not to speak of those big marines
cos Im always doing something Something for the boys Im always doing something For the lads if it adds to their joy So dont tell me its a wrong thing If I flop on some corporals knee cos Im always doing something for the boys Or theyre doing something for me
Up On Cripple Creek Composer(s): Robbie Robertson Performer(s): The Band; and various other artists
When I get off of this mountain You know where I want to go Straight down the Mississippi river To the Gulf of Mexico To Lake George, Louisiana Little Bessie, girl that I once knew And she told me just to come on by If there's anything she could do
{Refrain}
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one Good luck had just stung me To the race track I did go She bet on one horse to win And I bet on another to show Odds were in my favor I had him five to one When that nag came around the track Sure enough he had won
{Refrain}
I took up all of my winnings And I gave my little Bessie half And she tore it up and blew it in my face Just for a laugh Now there's one thing in the whole wide world I sure would like to see That's when that little love of mine Dips her doughnut in my tea
{Refrain}
Now me and my mate were back at the shack We had Spike Jones on the box She said, "I can't take the way he sings But I love to hear him talk" Now that just gave my heart a fall To the bottom of my feet And I swore and I took another pull My Bessie can't be beat
{Refrain}
Now, it's hot in California And up north it's pretty cold And this living off the road Is getting pretty old So I guess I'll call up my big mama Tell her I'll be rolling in Bet you know, deep down, I'm kinda tempted To see my sweet Bessie again
Give A Little Love Back To The World Composer(s): Paul Curtis First performance by: Emma - 1990
We've come so far on this great planet We should be proud of all the great things we've achieved But in our search for life's great knowledge We go on takin' out and never plant new seeds
Give a little love back to the world We can't go on takin' out forever Give a little love back to the world We still got time, let's do it together Give a little love back to the world
We've got to stop, think of tomorrow One day our children may have nothing left to share Let's do it now, then in the future They will look back at us with pride and know we cared
Give a little love back to the world We can't go on takin' out forever Give a little love back to the world We still got time, let's do it together
We got no time to hesitate Tomorrow it may be too late
Give a little love back to the world We can't go on takin' out forever Give a little love back to the world We still got time, let's do it together
We still got time, we can do it together Give a little love back to the world (Give a little love back) to the world
Something Following Me Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
While standing at the junction on 42nd Street I idly kick a pebble lying near my feet I hear a weird noise, take a look up and down The cause of the commotion is right there on the ground Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home but there's no doubt about it, it's my own tombstone
I went into a shop, and bought a loaf of bread I sank my teeth into it, thought I'd bust my head I dashed to the dentist, said, 'I've got an awful pain!' The man looks in my mouth and screams, 'This boy is insane!' Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home but there's a lump in my mouth of my own tombstone
I went to see a movie, got the only empty seat I tried to stretch out in it, something blocking my feet Finally the lights came up, and I could clearly see a slab of engraved marble, just staring up at me Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home but there's no doubt I'm sitting on my own tombstone
Quand Je Te Rêve First performance by: Céline Carzo - 1990
Je te vois tout en haut des tours dans les buildings de Singapour Sous un peu de pluie à Cherbourg, dans les jardins du Luxembourg, loin toujours...
Un vol d'oiseaux sur Manhattan revient me dire que tu t'éloignes Je dessine notre amour au fil de tes absences Et c'est comme un été qui commence!
Quand je te rêve, y a plus d'heure, plus de distance Rien n'a plus d'importance, j'oublie tous mes états d'urgence Quand je te rêve, tu me prends, tu me soulèves Un sourire sur tes lèvres et j'ai peur du jour qui se lève Quand je te rêve, quand je te rêve
Tu m'attends sur le banc d'un square dans toutes les salles des aérogares Je te croise au fond des regards derrière les glaces bleues des miroirs
Je devine ton visage dans toutes les transparences Des voyages que je fais en silence
Quand je te rêve, y a plus d'heure, plus de distance Rien n'a plus d'importance, j'oublie tous mes états d'urgence Quand je te rêve, c'est comme un vent qui m'enlève Qui me donne la fièvre, viens avant que la nuit s'achève
Viens dans mon rêve, viens dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve, viens dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve!
Oh... viens dans mon rêve Oh... Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve! Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!
Up The Hill Backwards Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): David Bowie
The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom And the possibilities it seems to offer It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it
A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart Earth keeps on rolling witnesses falling It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it
Yeah, yeah, yeah up the hill backwards It'll be alright ooo-ooo
While we sleep they go to work We're legally crippled it's the death of love It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it
More idols than realities I'm OK, you're so-so
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards It'll be alright ooo-ooo
