Strand
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Waar kan je liggen in het zand totdat je hele lijf verbrandt 
Waar kan je zuipen als een beest, waar vind je vrienden voor elk feest 
Waar kan je zwemmen als een rat, waar word je zelfs van binnen nat 
Dat is aan de rand van Nederland 
Dat is aan ons onvolprezen strand 
Daar kan je vrijen met je vrouw, wat nergens anders mogen zou 
Terwijl je kalm je krantje leest, je handen strelend om haar leest 
Daar speel je poker met een vriend totdat ie van ellende grient 
Daar springt de Randstad uit de band, dat is aan ons onvolprezen strand 
Je gaat er op de brommer heen en ligt dan plat to kwart voor een 
Dan ga je kijken naar een vrouw die je wel graag versieren zou 
Dan krijg je ruzie met haar man die heel toevallig boksen kan 
En met je tanden in je hand sjok je weer verder over 't strand 
Dan ga je even naar een tent en als je aangeschoten bent 
Dan loop je met een vriendenschaar een eindje langs de boulevard 
Dan komt er iemand op 't idee om te gaan zwemmen in de zee 
En gans door kwallen overmand ren je weer terug over het strand 
Maar 's middags om een uur of vier dan komt het toppunt van vertier 
Dan komt een vriend die auto rijdt eens kijken voor de aardigheid 
Dan ga je even met 'm mee een eindje rijen langs de zee 
Hij rijdt wel 100 met e'e'n hand en wuift met d'ander naar het strand 
Dan scheur je zingend langs de straat en vindt dat alles prachtig gaat 
Je trekt je hals eenvoudig krom, je kijkt naar alle meisjes om 
En vaders auto wordt vermoord, vakkundig in een boom geboord 
Dan sta je morgen in de krant en word beroemd op 't hele strand 
En 's avonds op het stille strand dan is er weer iets aan de hand 
Dan komt er een geweldig feest zoals er nooit een is geweest 
Dan wordt het strandvuur opgestookt waarop men lekker worstjes kookt 
En met transistors in de hand trekt heel de troep weer naar het strand 
De ene komt met flessen wijn, die smaakt verdacht veel naar azijn 
De tweede komt met z'n vriendin, die pikt de derde dan weer in 
De vierde brengt een zak patat met onderin een daverend gat 
De inhoud ligt verspreid in 't zand van driekwart kilometer strand 
Je danst en vrijt de hele tijd terwijl je in een broodje bijt 
En giet jenever in je kop, want anders dronk je pa het op 
Maar van die lading alcohol geraak je spoedig overvol 
Dan loopt de toestand uit de hand en blijf je liggen op het strand 
maar de politie arriveert voor je weer lopen hebt geleerd 
Zodat je kruipende ontvlucht achter een zuil jeneverlucht 
Dat wordt dan een immense rel die eindigt meestal in de cel 
En is men daar eenmaal beland, dan is 't weer rustig op het strand 
Maar 's ochtends lig je weer in 't zand totdat je hele lijf verbrandt 
Dan ga je zuipen als een beest, dan zoek je vrienden voor een feest 
Dan ga je zwemmen als een rat, dan wordt je zelfs van binnen nat 
Aan de rand van Nederland, aan ons onvolprezen strand 
Aan de rand van Nederland, aan ons onvolprezen strand
Aan de rand van Nederland, aan ons onvolprezen strand

Yes Sir, No Sir
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



Yes Sir, no Sir
Where do I go Sir
What do I do Sir
What do I say

Yes Sir, no Sir
Where do I go Sir
What do I do Sir
How do I behave

Yes Sir, no Sir
Permission to speak Sir
Permission to breathe Sir
What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say

So you think that you've got ambition
Stop your dreaming and your idle wishing
You're outside and there ain't no admission
To our play
Pack up your ambition in your old kit bag
Soon you'll be happy with a packet of fags
Chest out stomach in
Do what I say, do what I say
Yes right away

Yes Sir, no Sir
Where do I go Sir
What do I do Sir
What do I say

Yes Sir, no Sir
Permission to speak Sir
Permission to breathe Sir
What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say

Doesn't matter who you are
You're there and there you are
Everything Is in its place
Authority must be maintained
And then we know exactly where we are
Let them feel that they're important to the cause
But let them know that they are fighting for their homes
Just be sure that they're contributing their all
Give the scum a gun and make the bugger fight
And be sure to have deserters shot on sight
If he dies we'll send a medal to his wife

Yes Sir, no Sir
Please let me die Sir
I think this life is affecting my brain
Yes Sir, no Sir
Three bags full Sir
What do I do Sir, what do I say
What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say

It's All About You
Composer(s): Ardit Gjebrea - Pirro Çako
First performance by: Juliana Pasha - 2010



You are the one, you give me that something I need
It's me, and I'm calling
You are the one, making it easy to be
In love with you I'm falling
 
We been down
But don't you know we been down here
And I feel it, even now
Time that we make a deal and seal it
 
It's all about you, the things that I do
The rest of the world don't understand me
You're all that I dream, everything that I need
'Cause when you are gone, I feel so empty
 
It's all in the way you look at me
You're driving me crazy
It's all about you, all the things that I do
You are my life, 'cause you make it amazing
 
I'm the one, who doesn't know how to say no
To you I'm so easy
I'm the one, who's letting my ego just go
For you complete me
 
We've been down
But something tells me it's only getting better
So stick around, I wanna know what it feels like
Forever and ever
 
It's all about you, the things that I do
The rest of the world don't understand me
You're all that I dream, everything that I need
'Cause when you are gone, I just feel empty
 
It's all in the way you look at me
You're driving me crazy
It's all about you, all the things that I do
You are my life 'cause you make it amazing
 
I'm never alone with the loving you give me
Wherever I go, I'm hoping you miss me
Don't wanna ever go back
Never ever go back
Oh, baby you're my destiny, oh yeah
 
It's all about you, the things that I do
The rest of the world don't understand me
You're all that I dream, everything that I need
'Cause when you are gone, I just feel empty
 
It's all in the way you look at me
You're driving me crazy
It's all about you, all the things that I do
You are my life, 'cause you make it amazing, oh yeah
 
It's all about you

Covered by multiple other artists



A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "Now listen, Jack"

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin'
What's the use in jivin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey "You are chokin' me
Release your hold and I will set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
"Your story's so touchin' but it sounds just like a lie"

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

Mister, your eyes are full of hesitation

Yes sir I can boogie 
If you stay you can't go wrong 
I can boogie, boogie boogie

No sir, I don't feel very much like talking 
No neither walking, you wanna know if I can dance 
Yes sir, already told you in the first word 
And in the cold 
But I will give you one more chance

We Could Be The Same
Composer(s): Ferman Akgül
First performance by: maNga - 2010



You could be the one in my dreams
You could be much more than you seem
Anything I've wanted in life
Do you understand what I mean?
I can see that this could be fate
I can love you more than they hate
Doesn't matter who they will blame
We can beat them at their own game
 
I can see it in your eyes
It doesn't come as a surprise
I've seen you dancing like a star
No matter how different we are
 
For all this time I've been loving you
Don't even know your name
For just one night, we could be the same
No matter what they say
 
And I feel I'm turning the page
And I feel the world is a stage
I don't think that drama will stop
I don't think they'll give up the rage
But I know the world could be great
I can love you more than they hate
Doesn't matter who they will blame
We can beat them at their own game
 
I can see it in your eyes
It doesn't count as a surprise
I see you dancing like a star
No matter how different we are
 
For all this time I've been loving you
Don't even know your name
For just one night, we could be the same
No matter what they say
 
For all this time I've been loving you
Don't even know your name
For just one night, we could be the same
No matter what they say
 
No matter what they say
No matter what they say
We could be the same
No matter what they say

Yerushalaim
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



De temps en temps
Comme un enfant
Ma pensée te dessine
Yerushalaim
De loin en loin
Tu n' est plus qu' un
Rêve qui tombe en ruine
Yerushalaim

Tel ces émigrants
Dont les yeux brûlants
S' ouvrent à l' écho de ton nom
D' au-delà des mers
Souvent à travers
D' hostiles et dures régions
J' étais venu
Mains vides et pieds nu
À toi Yerushalaim

Pour me garder
Tu as cloué
L' amour dans ma poitrine
Yerushalaim
Où sont mes joies
N' y a-t-il pas
De bonheur sans épines?
Yerushalaim

Tout s' est acharné
Pour nous déchirer
Et le brouillard de nos pleures
A troublé l' azur
Élevant un mur
Entre son cœur et mon cœur
Mais j' ai en moi
L' espoir toutefois
Que l' amour encore
Renaisse et vive encore
Pour nous à Yerushalaim

Straight From The Shoulder
Composer(s): Harry Revel - Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Kitty Carlisle



I could sing your praises with eloquent phrases
Describe you and bribe you with wonderful speeches
I could sing your praises with grand repartee
But darling I desire to confess my love
Express my love, this way

I know the words that I use
Are simple and not very smart
But what I say, I say to you
Straight from the shoulder, right from the heart

Others may sing to spring
To them making love is an art
But when I sing, I sing to you
Straight from the shoulder, right from the heart

Who cares if others may laugh
If as a lover I’m green
Who cares, let them all laugh
Long as you know just what I mean

Old as the hills it’s true
To whisper I love you, I do
But when I say I love you, I do
And when I pray that we’ll never part
It’s Straight from the shoulder, right from the heart to you

Who cares if others may laugh
If as a lover I’m green
Who cares, let them all laugh
Long as you know just what I mean

Old as the hills it’s true
To whisper I love you, I do
But when I say I love you, I do
And when I pray that we’ll never part
It’s straight from the shoulder, right from the heart to you

Yer Blues
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles



Yes I'm lonely wanna die
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bones
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Wanna die yeah wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

Shine
Composer(s): Hanne Margrethe Fredriksen Sørvaag - Harry Sommerdahl - Christian Leuzz
First performance by: Sofia Nizharadze - 2010



Who can ever tell the colour of a soul
And the memories we keep from long ago?
Do we ever really know each other's past?
 
You can't go back to before
But tomorrow will bring even more
 
Like the tide's gonna turn
You will know when it's cold
You're on your own, but you're never alone
Shine, shine, like the stars in the sky
Wipe your dust off your love, let it shine
 
So when nothing's ever really carved in stone
Remember that your heart is holding on
And when every second melts up in the past
Don't be afraid it will end
Only fear that it never began
 
Like the tide's gonna turn
You will know when it's cold
You're on your own, but you're never alone
Shine, shine, like the stars in the sky
Wipe your dust off your love, let it shine
 
You can't go back to before
But tomorrow will bring even more
 
Like the tide's gonna turn
You will know when it's cold
You're on your own, but you're never alone
Shine, shine, like the stars in the sky
Let it shine

Y'En A Qui Font Ça
Composer(s): N. Chiboust; M. Teze
Performer(s): Sacha Distel



Y'en a qui pourraient
Mais qui n'ont jamais fait ça
Y'en a qui voudraient et qui ne pensent qu'à ça
Y'en a qui essaient et qui n'y arrivent pas
D'autres qui font ça parfois plusieurs fois
Et puis, et puis

Y'en a qui s'en foutent,
Qui font ça n'importe comment
Y'en a qui sans doute
Ne font ça que le Jour de l'an
Y'en a que ça dégoûte
Et y'en a qui font semblant
D'autres qui s'arrêtent en route
En baillant

C'est pourtant facile
C'est pourtant facile
C'est pourtant facile
De la la la la

Y'en a qui font ça
En veste de pyjama
Y'en a qui font ça
En rentrant du cinéma
Y'en a qui font ça
Dans des endroits faits pour ça
D'autres qui font ça tout seul
Pourquoi pas
Et puis, et puis

Y a les amateurs
Qui font ça maladroitement
Y a les professeurs
Qui font ça scientifiquement
Y a les fonctionnaires
Les docteurs, les présidents
Et il y a, il y a bien sûr
Tous les gens

Qui trouvent ça facile
Qui trouvent ça facile
Qui trouvent ça facile
De danser l'tango

Straight For The Heart
Composer(s): David Paich - Joseph Williams
Performer(s): Toto



Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone, but she's the type that can never be owned

He can't get her off his mind, but she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance

Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart

'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known 
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known 
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known

Yellow Van
Composer(s): Ron Dante; Gene Allan
Performer(s): Ronnie & The Dirt Riders



Pack a bag baby
Won't you come along
We'll be sittin' pretty mama
Nothin' can go wrong
The sun is comin' up 
And we got miles to go

Well, I'm a gonna show you just how good it feels
When we're movin' it out in a home on wheels
'Cause there's no place like home
In a yellow van

Yellow van... yellow van... yellow vaaaan... 
Moving down the highway
Cruising 'cross the USA
Yellow vaaaan, yellow vaaaan 
Oh, move out, move out with me in my yellow van

Well it's beat up, faded, and it ain't brand new
But when you're riding high 
There's nothing it can't do 
The open road's ahead
We'll leave the past behind

Got a fab (?)quad system 
And it's dynamite
Got a mattress in the back
Where we can spend the night
Cause home ain't nothin' like 
Livin' in a yellow van 

Yellow van... yellow van... yellow vaaan... 
Moving down the highway
Cruising 'cross the USA
Yellow vaaaan, yellow vaaaan 
Oh, move out, move out with me in my yellow van

Bowm-de-do-be-do-wow
Why don't we move out
Bowm-de-do-be-do-wow
Why don't we,, move out
Bowm-de-do-be-do-wow
Why don't we...move out 
Why don't you ride with me

Yellow vaaaan... yellow vaaaan... yellow vaaaan... 
Moving down the highway
Cruisin' 'cross the USA
Yellow van, yellow van 
Oh, Move out, move out with me in my yellow
Move out, move out with me in my yellow
Move out, move out with meee..

Move out, move out with me.. in my yellow
Move out, move out with me.. in my yellow
Move out, move out with me.. in my yellow

That Sounds Good To Me
Composer(s): Pete Waterman - Mike Stock
First performance by: Josh - 2010



How do I begin to imagine all the happy faces I'd like to see?
The final destination, with sounds of celebration
If I could find the opportunity
 
So I wonder, who can I turn to?
Who can make these wishes and dreams come true?
And with you there beside me
And loving hands to guide me
Anything is possible to do
 
So if you bring the sunshine
I'll bring the good times
Just add your laughter
It's happy ever after
I don't know 'bout you
But that sounds good to me
 
I can feel it coming together
All the loving working so very well
There's nothing left to do now
Gonna see it through now
And we can let the future write itself
 
Baby, if you bring the sunshine
I'll bring the good times
Just add your laughter
It's happy ever after
I don't know 'bout you
But that sounds good to me
Oh...
 
(So if you bring the sunshine) You bring the sunshine
(I'll bring the good times) I'll bring the good times
Just add your laughter
Happy ever after
I don't know 'bout you (Sounds good to me)
I don't know 'bout you
I don't know 'bout you
But that sounds good to me
Oh... that sounds good to me

And we lived beneath the waves 
In our yellow submarine

Straight Down The Middle
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Ray Reach



Fore!

Straight down the middle
It went straight down the middle
Then it started to hook just a wee, wee bit
And that's when my caddie lost sight of it
That little white pellet has never been found to this day
But it went straight down the middle like they say

Whack down the fairway
It went smack down the fairway
Then it started to slice just a smidge off line
It headed for two but it bounced off nine
My caddie says long as you're still in the state you're okay
Yes, it went straight down the middle quite a way

The sun was never brighter
The greens were never greener
And I was never keener to play

I heard it came down the middle
It went zing down the middle
Oh, the life of a golfer is not all gloom
There's always the lies in the locker room
And I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
That it went straight down the middle today

Oh, the life of a golfer is not all gloom
Though they charge just for listenin' in the locker room
But I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
That it went straight down the middle
Where it wound up is a riddle
But it went straight down the middle far away

Yellow Rose Of Texas
Composer(s): Don George
Performer(s): Mitch Miller;
and various other artists



There's a yellow rose of Texas
That I am going to see
No other fellow knows her
No other, only me
She cried so when I left her
It like to break my heart
And if I ever find her
We never more will part

She's the sweetest rose of color
A fellow ever knew
Her eyes are bright as di'monds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee

Oh, now I'm going to find her
For my heart is full of woe
And we'll sing the song together
That we sung long ago
We'll play the bajo gaily
and we'll sing the songs of yore
And the Yellow Rose of Texas
Shall be mine forevermore

Yellow River
((French Version: L'Amérique (by Joe Dassin) - 1970))
Composer(s): Jeffrey Christie
First recording/First release by: The Tremeloes - 1969/1985
Covered by multiple other artists



So long, boy, you can take my place 
I got my papers, I got my pay 
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way ... to Yellow River 

Put my gun down, the war is won 
Fill my glass high, the time has come 
I'm going back to the place that I love ... Yellow River 

Yellow River, Yellow River ... is in my mind and in my eyes 
Yellow River, Yellow River ... is in my blood, it's the place that I love 

Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose 
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon 
And Yellow River 

Cannon fire lingers in my mind 
I'm so glad I'm still alive 
And I've been gone for such a long time ... from Yellow River 

I remember the nights were cool 
I can still see the water pool 
And I remember the girl that I knew ... from Yellow River
