Daydreamer (French Version: Le Mal Aimé - 1974) Composer(s): Terry Dempsey First release by: David Cassidy - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
I remember April, when the sun was in the sky Love was burning in your eyes Nothing in the world could bother me 'Cause I was living in a world of ecstasy But now you're gone I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain Chasing after rainbows I may never find again Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone Oh, how much I need someone to call my very own
Now the summers over and I found myself alone With only memories of you I was so in love, I couldn't see 'Cause I was living in a world of make believe But now your gone I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain Chasing after rainbows I may never find again Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone Oh, how much I need someone, to call my very own
I'm just a daydreamer, I'm walking in the rain Chasing after rainbows I may never find again Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone Oh, how much I need someone to call my very own
I'm just a daydreamer, walking in the rain Chasing after rainbows I may never find again Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone Oh, how much I need someone, to call my very own
Put Your Hand In The Hand Composer(s): Gene MacLellan Performer(s): Lynn Anderson; and various other artists
Put your hand in the hand of the man Who stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man Who calmed the sea Take a look at yourself And you can look at others differently Put your hand in the hand of the man From Galilee My momma taught me how to pray Before I reached the age of seven When I'm down on my knees That's when I'm closest to heaven Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife Well you do what you must do But he showed me enough of what it takes To get me through. Put your hand in the hand of the man Who stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man Who calmed the sea Take a look at yourself And you can look at others differently Put your hand in the hand of the man From Galilee Put your hand in the hand of the man Who stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man Who calmed the sea Take a look at yourself And you can look at others differently Put your hand in the hand of the man From Galilee Put your hand in the hand of the man Who stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man Who calmed the sea Take a look at yourself And you can look at others differently Put your hand in the hand of the man From Galilee Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Love Me For A Reason Composer(s): John Bristol - Wade Bowen - David Jones First release by: Johnny Bristol - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Girl when you hold me How you control me You bend and you fold me Anyway you please
It must be easy for you The loving things that you do But just a pastime for you I could never be
And I never know, girl If I should stay or go 'Cos the games that you play Keep driving me away
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love me for a reason Let the reason be love Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love me for a reason Let the reason be love
Kisses and caresses Are only minor tests, babe Of love, lead to stresses Between a woman and a man
So if love everlasting Isn't what you're asking I'll have to pass, girl I'm proud to take a stand
I can't continue guessing Because it's only messing With my pride and my mind So right now it's time to tell ya
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love me for a reason Let the reason be love Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love me for a reason Let the reason be love
I'm just a little old-fashioned It'll take more than physical attraction My initial reaction is honey give me love Not a facsimile of
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love me for a reason Let the reason be love Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love me for a reason Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, ooh baby Let me be the one Love me, love me for a reason Let the reason be love Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love me for a reason Let the reason be love
Waar Ben Je Nou? Composer(s): E. Den Hoed Performer(s): Ann Christy
Soms ben ik moe Aan een pauze toe Het is moeilijk te verwerken Daar te zijn Was zo fijn Ook al liet ik het niet merken
Waar ben je nou? Ik hou toch van jou Het was zo fijn Samen gelukkig te zijn
Wat nu is gebeurd Heeft alles gekleurd Toch blijf ik nog hopen Mijn liefde voor jou Alsook mn trouw Waarom ben je gaan lopen?
Waar ben je nou? Ik hou toch van jou Het was zo fijn Samen gelukkig te zijn
De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan Toch blijf ik altijd nog hopen Mijn verlangen naar jou zal altijd blijven bestaan Mijn deur blijft altijd open Jarenlang was ik nooit zo bang Ga je nog komen? Het blijft bij mij Zoals je toen zei ... Toch zal ik slechts dromen
Waar ben je nou? Ik hou toch van jou Het was zo fijn, samen gelukkig te zijn Het was zo fijn, samen gelukkig te zijn
De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan Mijn deur blijft altijd open De tijd zal het leren hoe verder te gaan Toch blijf ik altijd nog hopen

When your arms are empty got nowhere to go Come on out and catch the show There'll be saints and sinners You'll see losers and winners All kinds of people you might want to know Once you get it, you can't forget it W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
You know he always holds it in a tent And if you're looking for the real thing He can show you where it went
There's a young faith healer He's a woman stealer He will cure by his command When the music's hot you might have to stand To hear the Klondike Klu Klux steamboat band Don't you sweat it You can't forget it W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
I'd rather die happy than not die at all And a man is a fool who will not heed the call
Gonna see Miss Brer Foxhole She's got diamonds in her teeth She is real gold down underneath She's a rock and roll singer and a true dead ringer For something like you ain't never seen Once you get it, you can't forget it W.S.

W*O*L*D Composer(s): Harry Chapin Performer(s): Harry Chapin; Richie Havens
Hello Honey, it's me What did you think when you heard me back on the radio? What did the kids say when they knew it was their long lost daddy-o? Remember how we listened to the radio And I said 'That's the place for me' And how I got the job as an FM Jock the day you married me? We were two kids and I was was into AM rock But I just had to run around It's been eight years since I left you babe Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down
I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be The bright good-morning voice who's heard but never seen Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen
The drinking I did on my last big gig made my voice go low They said that they liked the younger sound when they let me go So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma to do me a late night talk show Now I worked my way back home again, via Boise, Idaho That's how this business goes
I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be The bright good-morning voice who's heard but never seen Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen
I've been making extra money playing high school sock hops I'm a big time guest MC You should hear me talking to the little children And listen what they say to me Got a spot on the top of my head, begging for a new toupee And a tire on my gut from sitting on my But they're never gonna go away
Sometimes I get this crazy dream That I just drive off in my car But you can travel on ten thousand miles and still say where you are I've been thinking that I should quit disk jockeying And start that record store Maybe I could settle down if you'ld take me back once more
OK Honey, I see I guess he's better than me Sure, Old Girl, I understand You don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man
W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D*D*D
I am the morning DJ on K*H*J Playing all the hits for you Playing them night and day The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen Feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D
Eppure son simpatico quando mi guardo allo specchio sono un simpatico per i compagni e per gli amici mentre per te, solo per te per te non sono che una cicca l'avanzo di una sigaretta, fumata
Quante ragazze mi hanno anche detto che son bello quanti ragazzi mi voglion tutti per fratello e invece tu, invece tu mi sbatti via come una cicca perché non sono che una cicca per te
Io so già che un giorno tu vorrai raccogliermi ti brucerai con il mio amore sì ti brucerai ma non mi avrai
Io so già che un giorno tu vorrai raccogliermi ti brucerai con il mio amore sì ti brucerai ma non mi avrai
(Would You Like To Be The) Love Of My Life From the film "Second Chorus" Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Artie Shaw Performer(s): Fred Astaire (with Artie Shaw's Orch.)
Would you like to be the love of my life for always And always watch over me To square my blunders and share my dreams One day with caviar, next day a chocolate bar
Would you like to take the merry-go-round I'll lead you, I'll need you Just Wait till you see
I hope in your horoscope there is room for a dope who adores you That would make the only dream of my life come true For the love of my life is you
Keep Me In Mind Composer(s): Ray Agius - Alfred C. Sant First performance by: Mike Spiteri - 1995
That old feeling Dreams we shared together Are just fragments of the past
There's a silence Shades of stormy weather Was our love too good to last?
Light a candle, sing a song Look for rainbows There's nothing wrong Every night I cry my heart out 'Cause we're driftin' apart, now I know
Keep me in mind When you're all alone Dial my number I'll wait by the phone
We'll have tomorrow And sweet dreams to follow Hold me forever So keep me in mind, love 'Cause you're in my heart
A sweet memory From a world of laughter Brings back echoes Night and day
Light a candle, sing a song Look for a rainbow There's nothing wrong Every night I cry my heart out 'Cause we're driftin' apart, now I know
Keep me in mind When you're all alone Dial my number I'll wait by the phone
Send me some lovin' And take me to heaven Put love on the line Just make it known that you're mine
Keep me in mind When dark shadows fall Don't go to strangers I'm there when you call We'll have tomorrow And sweet dreams to follow Hold me forever So keep me in mind, love 'Cause you're in my heart ('Cause you're in my heart) 'Cause you're in my heart ('Cause you're in my heart) 'Cause you're in my heart

Who's gonna kiss me Who's gonna thrill me Who's gonna hold me tight ..... Tonight!
Why did I tell you I was going to Shanghai I wannna be with you tonight Why did I holler I was going to Shanghai I wanna be with you tonight It was just a little misunderstanding That a kiss on the cheek could patch I need you so badly, I'd gladly Start all over from scratch

Where are you, now that I need you Now that I want you so badly I could cry Where are you (Where are you?) Where did fate lead you (Where are you?) Funny how I dreamed you'd still be standing by

Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Ich hab' geträumt von dir Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Du stehst vor meiner Tür Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh' Sag' wann kommst du zu mir? Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu
Jeden Tag um zehn Könnte es gescheh'n Denn zwei Häuser weiter kommst du aus der Tür Doch dann gehst du vorüber
Als sie dich so sah Fragte schon Mama ``Wer ist denn der nette, sympathische Mann der wohnt doch nebenan?''
Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Ich hab' geträumt von dir Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Du stehst vor meiner Tür Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh' Sag' wann kommst du zu mir? Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu
Ja, ich träumte schon Du am Telefon Ich hör' deine Stimme die zärtlich mich fragt ``Wann können wir uns sehen?''
Aber um halb acht Bin ich aufgewacht Und der erste Kuss unterm Kirschbluetenbaum War leider nur ein Traum
Ja, ja, ja, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Ich hab' geträumt von dir Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy Du stehst vor meiner Tür Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh' Sag' wann kommst du zu mir? Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu Denn ich bin dir Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu

If I could just get you to love me one more time For just a moment have you here with me With your sweet lips next to mine you lose all track of time 'Cause when you close your eyes that's when I'll make you see
It's been a while since you have been here in my arms Oh, how they ache to hold you tenderly I've got so much love to give, if you'll take it we'll both live And when you close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see
I'll make you see the sky is just a little bit bluer I'll make you see my love is just a little bit truer I want both your heart and mind, make you want me all the time And when you close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see
I'll make you see the birds will sing a little bit sweeter I'll make you see that I love you a little completer If you'll take me in your arms, let me keep you nice and warm And then just close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see That you love me
Sonic Attack Composer(s): Harvey Bainbridge - Dave Brock - Huw Lloyd-Langton - Michael Moorcock Performer(s): Hawkwind
In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules..... If you are making love, it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously Do not waste time blocking your ears Do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible, but do not panic..... Use your wheels, it is what they are for Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons, which should be left if possible, in a shelter Do not attempt to use your own limbs If no wheels are available, metal, not organic, limbs should be employed whenever practical..... Remember, in the case of Sonic Attack Survival does mean every man for himself Statistically more people survive if they think only of themselves
Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, or loved ones You have only a few seconds to escape Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die Do not panic Think only of yourselves....
These are the first signs of Sonic Attack You will notice small objects, such as ornaments, oscillating You will notice a vibration in your diaphragm You will hear a distant hissing in your ears You will feel dizzy You will feel the need to vomit There will be bleeding from orifices There will be an ache in the pelvic region You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting, or even laughter These are all sign of imminent Sonic destruction Your only real protection is flight If you are less than ten years old, then remain in your shelter and use your cocoon But remember: You can help no-one else No-one else No-one else......
(What Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue Composer(s): Thomas "Fats" Waller; Harry Brooks; Andy Razaf Performer(s: Louis Armstrong & His Orch.; and various other artists
Out in the street, shufflin' feet Couples passin' two by two While here am I, left high and dry Black, and 'cause I'm black I'm blue
Browns and yellers, all have fellers Gentlemen prefer them light Wish I could fade, can't make the grade Nothing but dark days in sight
Cold, empty bed, springs hard as lead Pains in my head, feel like old Ned What did I do to be so black and blue?
No joys for me, no company Even the mouse ran from my house All my life through I've been so black and blue
I'm white inside, it don't help my case 'Cause I can't hide, what is on my face, oh!
I'm so forlorn, life's just a thorn My heart is torn, why was I born? What did I do to be so black and blue?
'Cause you're black, folks think you lack They laugh at you, and scorn you too What did I do to be so black and blue?
When you are near, they laugh and sneer Set you aside and you're denied What did I do to be so black and blue?
How sad I am, each day I feel worse My mark of Ham seems to be a curse, oh
How will it end? ain't got a friend My only sin is my skin What did I do to be so black and blue?
