You And Me Against The World
Composer(s): Kenny Ascher; Paul Williams
Performer(s): Helen Reddy; 
and various other artists



You and me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world
When all the others turn their backs and walked away
You can count on me to stay

Remember when the circus came to town
How you were frightened by the clown
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for

You and me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world
And for all the times we've cried I always felt that
God was on our side

And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
Of you and me against the world

Let the drums roll out
Let the trumpet call
While the people shout "Strike up the band"
Hear the cymbals ring
Calling' one and all
To the martial swing, strike up the band

Let's have fun, fun, fun
You son of a gun of a gun, take your stand
Form a line, oh, oh
Come on, let's go
Hey, leader, strike up the band!
There is work to be done, to be done
Let's have fun, fun, fun
Come on, son of a gun of a gun, take your stand

(Both) We belong ... together you and me

(Male) We will share ... love's joys and life's sorrows
You belong to me ... I belong to you
(Female) When you hold ... my hand the sun shines brighter
When you smile ... at me I lose my blues

(Male) Don't ever let ... nothin' come between us
Think how life ... apart would be
(Female) Gossiping tongues ... will never change me darlin'
Your love ... means more than life to me

Strike The Bell Second Mate
(Traditional)



Down on the quarter deck and walking about
There is the second mate so steady and so stout
What he is a-thinkin' of he doesn't know himself
And we wish that he would hurry up and strike, strike the bell

Strike the bell second mate, let us go below
Look ya well to windward you can see it's gonna blow
Look at the glass, you can see it has fell
Oh we wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell

Down on the main deck and workin' at the pumps
There is the starboard watch just longing for their bunks
Look out to windward, and see a great swell
And we wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell

Forward on the forecastle head and keepin' sharp lookout
Yonder Johnson standin', a-longin' fer to shout
Lights' a-burnin' bright sir and everything is well
And he's wishin' that the second mate would strike, strike the bell

Aft at the wheelhouse old Anderson stands
Graspin' at the helm with his frostbitten hands
Lookin' at the compass through the course is clear as hell
And he's wishin' that the second mate would strike, strike the bell

Aft on the quarter deck our gallant captain stands
Starin' out to sea with a spyglass in his hand
What he is a-thinkin' of we know very well
He's thinkin' more of shortenin' sail than strikin' the bell

You And Me
((French Version: Toi Et Moi (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jean-Pierre Bourtayre - Jacques Revaux
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



You and me
Two hearts that melt and flow into infinity
We leave the world we know to voyage breathlessly
Our bed, the sea
And in its waves, just you and me

You and me
Free of wrong and right of old taboos and lies
And in our endless night
Come dreams and whispered sighs
Caressingly, to you and me

Through deserted hopes that we must hold anew
Love has filled our emptiness and waiting
The unprotected children that we were before
Turned into you and me
Reborn in love once more

Carry me beyond all doubt and fears
Of passion's fantasy
To God created spirits, desire's destiny
Made heavenly for you and me
Aahhh-aahh-aahh

When I had no faith, you taught me how to care
Giving me a second chance of living
Most words are only words
But your's become my prayer
My body and my soul, you echo everywhere

Pleasure me, until the early morning light
Make love to me
I hear your every turn
So all my days can be
Drowned in the sea, aahhhh, you and me

Baby's Awake Now
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Lee Wiley



Out of the ether and into the air Baby opens her eyes and cries
"Let the party start again!"
Powders her nose and fixes her hair, sees how the landscape lies and sighs
"Bring your baby all the men!"
And then, out where the wild gardenias grow 
Baby has got her chance
So let her dance!

Baby's awake now!
Baby can do things!
Ready to shake her chassis 
Baby has new springs!
Baby can learn how
Baby can dance rings round ev'ry other lassie

Baby can do things!
Her deportment isn't so mild
Mammy, get your wandering wild child!
Beat on the big drum!
She's making her bow, burn up the baby's cradle!
Baby's awake now!

You And Me
Composer(s): Alice Cooper; Dick Wagner
Performer(s): Alice Cooper



When I get home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I wanna take you and squeeze you
till the passion starts to rise

I wanna take you to heaven
That would make my day complete

But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
some lovin'
and TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, babe
well that's enough for me

Sometimes when you're asleep
and I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I wanna reach out and touch you
but you just go on dreamin'

If I could take you to heaven
that would make my day complete

But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
some lovin'
and TV, yeah
That's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, sweetheart
that's just enough for me

You and me ain't no super stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
some popcorn
and TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, babe
you're just enough for me

When I get home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I like to hold you squeeze you
till the passion starts to rise

I wanna take you to heaven
That would make my day complete

You and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
of lovin'
and TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am well that's what I am
I tell you, baby
that's just enough for me

Strike Another Match
From the Musical Show "Wedding In Paris" (1954)
Composer(s): Hans May - Sonny Miller
Performer(s): Anton Walbrook



I have tried to use a modicum of philosophy
With the ladies who've considered me quite a catch
For I've always learned before you burn your fingers
Strike another match!

When I had a funny feeling that I was weakening
And I thought I might be softening in the thatch
I recall I learned before you burn your fingers
Strike another match!

The women are the hunters now 
And men their lawful prey
But I'm the one that took the bait 
And always got away

I'll admit I've had to struggle to keep my sanity
When they dimmed the light and quietly slid the latch
But I've always learned before you burn your fingers
Light another match!

You And I Know
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; L. Stallings; Al Stillman
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey; Henry King; 
Ozzie Nelson; Lynn Taylor; Martha Tilton



You and I know love has found us 
Why does my heart beat now?
Why is the world sweet now?
You and I know 

There is a glow all around us
Like a new dawn breaking 
Is it romance waking?
You and I know

Oh! This ecstasy, that makes me cry 
It will stay with me until I die 
Easy to see we were fated never to be lonely 
Love such as this only you and I know

You And I
Composer(s): Klaus Meine
Performer(s): Scorpions



I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
There's something in your eyes that is sayin' tonight
I'm not a child anymore, life has opened the door
To a new exciting life
I lose control when I'm close to you babe
I lose control don't look at me like this
There's something in your eyes, is this love at first sight
Like a flower that grows, life just wants you to know
All the secrets of life

It's all written down in your lifelines
It's written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place
Where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now
Forever and a day

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
There's something in your eyes that is sayin' tonight
I'm so curious for more just like never before
In my innocent life

It's all written down in your lifelines
It's written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place
Where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now
Forever and a day

Time stands still
When days of innocence are falling for the night
I love you girl I always will
I swear I'm there for you till the day I'll die

Repeat chorus

Strike
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Des british aux niakouées jusqu'aux filles de Perse
J'ai tiré les plus belles filles de la terre
Hélas l'amour est délétère
Comme l'éther et les popers

De mon buncoeur j'ai abaissé la herse
Sarrasine je crains les invasions la der
Des ders dur dur affaire
Classée à la solitude aujourd'hui je m'exerce

Après avoir connu des fortunes diverses
Blondes brunettes red heads platines châtain clair
En moi-même je me dis qu'il serait peut-être préférable de faire
L'amour en allongeant quelques sesterces

De Jane au gin peut-être est-ce l'inverse
Je me suis pété la gueule au ginger
Ale sait qu'au bout du compte je m'en irai amer
Empoisonné tel le roi de Perse Artaxerxès

You And I
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey



You and I will travel far together
We'll pursue our little star together
We'll be happy as we are together
We may never get to heaven
But it's heaven, at least to try 
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I 

You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I 

You and I, You and I, ...

Alfie, The Christmas Tree
Composer(s): John Denver - Lee Holdridge
Performer(s): John Denver



Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree
Who just didn't want to change the show
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels
He liked icicles and snow

He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears
And critters and creatures that crawl
Why, bugs were some of his very best friends
Spiders and ants an' all

Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On a vision of twinkling lights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
And a thousand other delights

And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer
And a jolly old man in a sleigh
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things
And a story of Christmas Day

Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas alright
He was full of Christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year

To him it was more than a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way

You see, some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of Santa Claus
They've never heard the story of the Son of God
That made Alfie pause

Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
Or the brotherhood of man
Or know how to love, or know how to give
If they can't, no one can

You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you

So when you're at Christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if I'd ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there too

You And I
Composer(s): Rick James; Art Stewart
Performer(s): Rick James



You and I
We fit together like a glove on hand
That's right
Don't you know
That I would gladly take you anywhere
You wanted to go

You and me
We are as close as three-part harmony
Wouldn't you agree
And if by chance
Our romance ended it would surely be
The end of me

Some people might say I'm infatuated 
But I don't care 
'Cause they really don't know 
They'll never see of hear 
The things I do with you 
So far as I'm concerned 
They all can go to hell 

Woe, baby yeah
Now sing it, sugar
Do-do-do (etc.)

You and I
We'll be together til the six is nine
That's right
When you need me
I never hesitate, I always come
It's so much fun, yeah

You and I
Although we're poor
Our love has greater wealth
Than Hughes himself
And if by chance
There is an afterlife when we die
Hope it's with you and I

Repeat I

Sing it do, do, do (etc)

You and I 
You and me 
We'll be together eternally 

Everybody on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Can you sing it on time
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk

Everybody shake your body down
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Dance and shout
Funk yourself right out
Funk yourself right out
Funk yourself right out

We laid this groove
So you can move
On the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk

Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody shake your body down

Stressé
Composer(s): Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



C'est pas tout ça mais faut qu'on se cause
Mais t'as pas l'temps faut que tu t'sauves
T'es pressée
T'es stressée
Tu passes devant moi, tu ne m'vois pas
J'te parle, tu ne m'écoutes même pas
Oppressée
T'es stressée
Y a pas que les grands de ce Monde
Qui flippent, qui sentent pas les ondes
Le stress a atteint toutes les couches de la Société
Y a peut-être encore dans le Tiers-Monde
Une famine par seconde
Mais nous on s'inquiète de grossir, faut nous materner
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
Cassé casse-tête guitare vidéo
Tue ta télé, toi tu es claustro
Je veux t'aimer
Sans stresser
On n'explique pas l'inexplicable
Comme j'sais pas faire tourner les tables
J'vais t'quitter
J'vais t'quitter
Y a pas que les grands de ce Monde
Qui flippent, qui sentent pas les ondes
Le stress a atteint toutes les couches de la Société
De la princesse au plombier
Gratte pas, le vernis peut craquer
Le Monde a besoin d'un lifting pour décompresser
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé

Music is playing in the darkness
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering
My heart's jittering
Just you and I
Not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's sunny and bright
No No No
Come tomorrow
Cos then we'll be waiting for the moonlight

We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight

Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don't mean a thing
When you're by my side
Please stay a while

You know I never could foresee the future years
You know I never could see
where life was leading me
But will we be together for ever
What will be my love, can't you see that I just don't know

No no not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's gonna be alright
Wait and see
If tomorrow
We'll be as happy as we're feeling tonight

We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight

I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where to lie
No more questions now
Let's enjoy tonight
Just you and I
Just you and I

2001 - Op Straat



Have you seen the old man 
In the closed down market 
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes 
In his eyes you see no pride 
Hands held loosely at his side 
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news 
So how can you tell me you're lonely 
And say for you that the sun don't shine 
Let me take you by the hand 
And lead you through the streets of London 
I'll show you something 
To make you change your mind 

Have you seen the old girl 
Who walks the streets of London 
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags 
She's no time for talking 
She just keeps right on walking 
Carrying her home in two carrier bags 

So how can you tell me you're lonely 
And say for you that the sun don't shine 
Let me take you by the hand 
And lead you through the streets of London 
I'll show you something 
To make you change your mind 

In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven 
The same old man sitting there on his own 
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup 
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone 

So how can you tell me that you're lonely 
And say for you that the sun don't shine 
Let me take you by the hand 
And lead you through the streets of London 
I'll show you something 
To make you change your mind 

Have you seen the old man 
Outside the seaman's mission 
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears 
In our city winter the rain cries little pity 
For one more forgotten hero 
And a world which doesn't care 

So how can you tell me you're lonely 
And say for you that the sun don't shine 
Let me take you by the hand 
And lead you through the streets of London 
I'll show you something 
To make you change your mind

Zie je daar die oude man
graaiend in een vuilnisbak
zoekend naar iets bruikbaars
voor in zijn oude plastic zak
net iets teveel meegemaakt
waardoor hij dakloos is geraakt
praat in zichzelf
over hoe het vroeger was

En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

Zie je daar dat meisje
ze is net zeventien
heeft nu al zo`n tien jaar
haar ouders niet gezien
muurtje om zich heen gebouwd
omdat ze niemand meer vertrouwt
vraag je haar naar liefde
dan noemt ze jou een prijs

En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

Zie je daar die oude vrouw
die rustig voor de regen schuilt
deze bui is minder
dan de tranen die ze heeft gehuild
die vroeger een gezin bezat
maar later klap op klap gehad
nu sjouwt ze haar verleden
in een zelfgemaakte tas

En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

Zie je daar die jongeman
hij is bijna al zijn tanden kwijt
hij beet zich stuk
op het vergif van deze tijd
elk uur een marteling
altijd zoekend naar één ding
kruipt eens per dag door het oog van de naald

En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat
