Stuck In The Middle With You ((Dutch Versions: Gevangen Met U (by Kasper van Kooten) - 2005; Ik Zit Gevangen Met Jou (by Mama's Jasje) - 2007)) Composer(s): Gerry Rafferty - Joe Egan First release by: Stealers Wheel - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Well I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you And I'm wondering what it is I should do It's so hard to keep this smile from my face Losing control yeah, I'm all over the place Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you
Well you started off with nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends they all come crawling Slap you on the back and say Please, please
Try to make some sense of it all But I can see it makes no sense at all Is it cruel to go to sleep on the floor Yeah I don't think that I can take anymore Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you
And you started off with nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends they all come crawling Slap you on the back and say Please, please
Yeah I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you Here I am stuck in the middle with you
Oh, I've sung it all tonight Almost ev'ry story that I know And now when they turn out those spotlights Ya' know, I'm never sure, where I'm s'posed to go
And I get so hoarse that I can't hit the high notes It's just a whisper, way down low But when... you sing from the inside Ya' know ya' hope that something shows......
And that... is... why.... Yes, you are the only song, the only song I need You're my laughter, and you're my lonely song You're the harvest; yes you're the seed And you're my first and my final song For you own me indeed Oh yes, oh yes Yes, after all is said and done You're the one song that I need
I have sung my songs to silence To empty clubs and crowded bars I've even sung my songs to standing rooms And I'll sing 'em, I'll sing 'em, to the stars And all the faces, they all fade together The applause, it's gone so fast And the story of every darkened stage Is that this glory, this glory will not last
And that... is... why.... Yes after all is said and done You're the one song that I need

Ik weet niet wat het is maar ik zweef het voelt zowat alsof ik herleef men voeten komen weer van de grond ik wist niet dat zoiets nog bestond
links van de hemel rechts van de hel middenin zit ik gevangen met jou
ik weet niet wat het is maar ik beef ik twijfel of ik nog om je geef als je vraagt of ik wil leven met jou dan zweet ik en dan krijg ik het koud
want links zie ik de hemel recht zie ik de hel middenin zit ik gevangen met jou
ja waar ben ik aan begonnen waar ben ik toch al weer beland ik had beter iets verzonnen toen je in mijn ogen keek en zei please please
ik weet niet waar ik heen moet gaan ik probeer het allemaal te verstaan is het groener aan de andere kant spreekt mijn hart of spreekt alweer mijn verstand
links van de hemel rechts van de hel middenin zit ik gevangen met jou
ja waar ben ik aan begonnen waar ben ik toch al weer beland ik had beter iets verzonnen toen je in mijn ogen keek en zei please please
ik weet niet wat het is maar ik zweef toch twijfel ik of ik om je geef sla ik af of ga ik even rechtdoor komt het goed of ga ik hier onderdoor
dicht bij de hemel dichter bij de hel middenin zit ik gevangen met jou
ik zit gevangen met jou ik zit gevangen met jou ik zit gevangen met jou

Non io non so perché Ma c'è una brutta bestia dentro di me Che mi butta giù, ogni giorno vado sempre più giù Io lo so cos'è quel pezzo di cervello che che ancora lì, lì con me Nella testa e non si muove più Non io non voglio, voglio darlo via Voglio in cambio una TV La metto in fondo al letto di casa mia Così poi non ci penso più
Non io non so perché Ma c'è un'altra brutta bestia dentro di me Che mi strozza se...se mi vieni ancora in mente te Io lo so cos'è quel pezzo del mio cuore che È ancora lì...lì con me E ogni tanto batte senza un perché No, io non voglio, voglio darlo via Voglio in cambio un'altra TV La metto a fianco a me nel letto di casa mia Gli dico "baby mi vuoi bene anche tu" Così io sento che c'è rimasto poco dentro di me Una palla e via, l'altra ho perso la scommessa E non so più dov'è
Ma adesso non parlare, non parlare Devi solo stare zitto, devi stare ad ascoltare E quindi non pensare, non pensare Dove sei Ruby....Ruby Ma adesso non parlare, non parlare Devi solo stare zitto, devi stare ad ascoltare E quindi non pensare, non pensare Dove sei Ruby....Ruby
Sono diventato una TV Adesso son perfetto non mi muovo più Mi accendo e poi mi spengo non reagisco più Hey ti stai spegnendo anche tu
Io lo so cos'è E stan cercando di fregare anche te Non fidarti mai Siam seduti sopra un cesso prima o poi cadrai Io lo so cos'è E stan cercando di fregare anche te Non fidarti mai Siam seduti sopra un cesso prima o poi cadrai...

You Are The Best Part Of Me Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond
My baby's cryin' on a Saturday night She thinks that nothin's ever Gonna go right But she'll make it And we'll make it There's no way that I'm leavin' the best part of me
There was a time I wanted out on my own I even thought I'd be okay alone But oh, baby I know, baby That I'd be walkin' Away from the best part of me
You are the best part of me The best that I am or ever will be You baby You're the part that allows me To open my heart And let love inside I want you to know What I've always known You're the best part of me
Love isn't easy And it's not always kind Sometimes you only have to Make up your mind That you can make it And you can make it I know I made it By keeping the best part of me
You are the best part of me The best that I am or ever will be You baby You're the part that allows me To open my heart And let love inside I want you to know What I've always known You're the best part of me
My baby's cryin' 'Cause she can't run away And if she could It wouldn't last for a day And she knows it and I know it It just shows that She is the best part of me
It's true baby You're the best part of me The best that I am or ever will be You baby You're the part that allows me To open my heart And let love inside I want you to know What I've always known You're the best part of me Yes, you are the best part of me
Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Brings jasmine tea on a painted tray and bends to kiss my frown away But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again The cover's on, the coast is clear We're all battened down, only us here But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again She walks between the lines and she can read my signs
Stuck out in the August rain Out in the cloudburst once again
Single-minded in my gloom I appear to revel in this darkened room But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again She walks between the lines and she can read my signs
Stuck out in the August rain Out in the cloudburst once again
I'm not afraid Of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me That I haven't already heard I'm just trying to find A decent melody A song that I can sing In my own company
I never thought you were a fool But darling look at you You gotta stand up straight Carry your own weight These tears are going nowhere baby
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And now you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake The colors that you bring The nights you filled with fireworks They left you with nothing I am still enchanted By the light you brought to me I listen through your ears Through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool To worry like you do I know it's tough And you can never get enough Of what you don't really need now My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Oh love, look at you now You've got yourself stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep The water is warm 'til you discover how deep I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if our way should falter Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if your way should falter Along this stony pass
You Are Not Alone Composer(s): Robert Kelly Performer(s): Michael Jackson; Ovid Alexis; Robert Avellanet; Ron Brown; Pam Hall; Rupert Parker; Diana Ross; Spectrum; Kim Waters
Another day has gone I'm still all alone How could this be You're not here with me You never said goodbye Someone tell me why Did you have to go And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay
But you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart But you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone Why, 'lone
Just the other night I thought I heard you cry Asking me to come And hold you in my arms I can hear your prayers Your burdens I will bear But first I need your hand Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay
For you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart For you are not alone
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin' And girl you know that I'll be there I'll be there
You are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay For you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart
For you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay
For you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart

Cowpunchers Cantata Composer(s): Max Bygraves Performer(s): Max Bygraves
I travelled across to America And when I arrived in America They said, Son, you know, you cant go wrong If you finish your show with a cowboy song So I practiced all day to get the song right And I dreamed of those songs all through the night
That night I heard the wild goose cry Hed got mixed up with the riders in the sky Tried to sleep, but it was in vain Have you ever tried sleeping on a mule train
Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiioooooooowwwww!
My heart goes where the mule train goes And I must go where the mule train goes Brother goose, mother goose, dont you fear Cos Ive arrived, and to prove it Im ere
Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooowwwww! Aha, Yma Sumac?
The riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name If youre looking for the wild goose, hes on the mule train So cowboy mend your ways today, forget your life of sin And you will be in time to meet the shrimp boats coming in
Oyoyoyoy, giddup there, go on old paint there, go on
My heart goes where the shrimp boats go And I must go where the shrimp boats go Im gonna ride that dusty trail Cos theyve locked up my lover in Allentown jail
You know this kinda reminds me of the first time I blew into Tombstone city Yessir, that night I slept on the prairie and all night long those prairie dogs kept howlin. I couldnt understand why they kept howlin, then I found out Aint no trees on the prairie, jest cactus.
If ever the devil was born Without a pair of horns It was you, Sonny Boy
You Are My Sunshine Composer(s): Charles Mitchell; Jimmy Davis Performer(s): Bing Crosby; and various other artists
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you and make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me to love another You'll regret it all some day You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You told me once, dear, you really loved me and no one else could come between But now you've left me and love another you have shattered all my dreams You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
