Abide With Me (aka Eventide) Composer(s): Henry Francis Lyte Performer(s): Thelonius Monk and multiple other artists
Abide with me, fast forth the eventide The darkness deepens, Lord abide with me When other helpers fail and comforts flee Help of the helpless, O abide with me
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness Where is death's sting, where, grave, that victory I triumph still if Thou abide with me
Hold Thou thy cross before my closen eyes Shine throught the gloom and point me to the skies Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee In life, in death, O Lord abide with me In life, in death, O Lord abide with me
We Fit Together Composer(s): Joe Belmaati; Michael Hansen; Marchell Remeeus Performer(s): O-Town
I've been waiting for the stars to come out Dinner it was fine But I can't lie cause I've been waiting For you to come back to mine
I've been thinking of you 24-7 and 365 And now the girl from Ipanema she's here lying by my side
I've got you now and I just wanna Show you how to play Goosebumps on your body guide the way
Chorus: I wanna go all night Ain't no stopping til the break of dawn I wanna go inside Every corner, girl you really turn me on I wanna go knock-knock-knock, our bodies to the beat And when the morning comes We're letting the sun shine, and stay in bed It can't separate us, we fit together...
I can feel you coming closer Dancing in the dark I touch your lips and kiss your shoulder Send a letter to your heart I can't explain to which extreme I'm feeling you How many triple-x dreams that's been starring you
I've got you now and I just wanna Show you how to play Goosebumps on your body guide the way
Mid-8 I won't get nothing done of what I ought to do It doesn't really matter to me I am here with you I can't explain to what degree I'm feeling you How many triple X dreams I've had starring you
Taking a trip up to Abergavenny Hoping the weather is fine If you should see a red dog running free Well, you know he's mine
A chase in the hills up to Abergavenny I've got to get there and fast If you can't go Then I promise to show you a photograph
Ah, passing the time with paradise people Paradise people are fine by me Sunshine forever, lovely weather Don't you wish you could be.....
Taking a trip up to Abergavenny Hoping the weather is fine If you should see a red dog running free Well, you know he's mine
Ah, passing the time with paradise people Paradise people are fine by me Sunshine forever, lovely weather Don't you wish you could be.....
A chase in the hills up to Abergavenny I've got to get there and fast If you can't go Then I promise to show you a photograph A little photograph, a little photograph Up to Abergavenny
We Don't Want The Bacon (What We Want Is A Piece Of The Rhine)
We Don't Want The Bacon (What We Want Is A Piece Of The Rhine) Composer(s): Howard Carr; Harry Russell; Jimmie Havens Performer(s): Ben Lessey
If you read your history, why it will show That we have always held our own with any kind of foe We've always brought the bacon home, no matter what they done But we don't want the bacon now, we're out to get the Hun
We don't want the bacon, we don't want the bacon What we want is a piece of the Rhine We'll feed "Bill the Kaiser" with our Allied appetizer We'll have a wonderful time Old Wilhelm Der Gross will shout "Vas is Los?" The Hindenburg line will sure look like a dime We don't want the bacon, we don't want the bacon What we want is a piece of the Rhine
When this trouble started they said we did not have a chance They could not figure out how we could get our men to France But we defied the U-boats, for our motto is to win We've got them into France right now, they're headed for Berlin
We don't want the bacon, we don't want the bacon What we want is a piece of the Rhine We'll crown "Bill the Kaiser" with a bottle of Budweiser We'll have a wonderful time We'll defeat the submarine, their Hindenberg machine There won't be any stop, when we go over the top We don't want the bacon, we don't want the bacon What we want is a piece of the Rhine

Zeit wird raum, aber die liebe bleibt Zeit wird Raum, aber die Liebe bleibt Wunsch wird Traum, aber die Liebe bleibt Wenn uns auch das Leben vieles nahm Was ich von dir bekam das werd ich nie verlieren Der Schmerz vergeht, aber die Liebe bleibt Und gibt der Hoffnung einen Sinn Was die Welt in goldene Bücher schreibt Macht nicht wirklich reich, aber die Liebe bleibt Manchmal bin ich wie ein Vogel im Wind Frierend im Schnee und vom Sonnenschein blind Und wenn ich doch noch Geborgenheit find Denn weil du mir nah bist
Ja wird nein, aber die Liebe bleibt Wahrheit - Schein, aber die Liebe bleibt Gehst du auch nie wieder neben mir Was ich erhielt von dir werden wir bald erleben Die Spur vergeht aber die Liebe bleibt Und gibt der Sehnsucht einen Halt Was im Strom der Zeit vorübertreibt Wird Erinnerung, aber die Liebe bleibt
Zeit wird Raum, aber die Liebe bleibt Wunsch wird Traum, aber die Liebe bleibt Wenn uns auch das Leben vieles nahm Was ich von dir bekam das werd ich nie verlieren Der Schmerz vergeht, aber die Liebe bleibt Und gibt der Hoffnung einen Sinn Was die Welt in goldene Bücher schreibt Macht nicht wirklich reich, aber die Liebe bleibt
We Don't Talk Anymore German Title: Ich Werde Geh'n Heute Nacht
Composer(s): Alan Tarney Performer(s): Cliff Richard; and various other artists
Used to think that life was sweet Used to think we were so complete I can't believe you'd throw it away
Used to feel we had it made Used to feel we could sail away Can you imagine how I feel today
Well it seems a long time ago You were the lonely one Now it comes to letting go You are the only one Do you know what you've done
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore It's so funny why we don't talk anymore But I ain't losing sleep And I ain't counting sheep It's so funny how we don't talk anymore Oohh, we don't talk
Well it really doesn't matter to me I guess you're leaving was meant to be It's down to you now you wanna be free Well I hope you know which way to go You're on your own again Don't come crying to me When you're the lonely one Remember what you've done
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore It's so funny why we don't talk anymore But I ain't losing sleep And I ain't counting sheep, no, no, no It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
Oohh, We don't talk Oohh, We don't talk But I ain't losing sleep No, I ain't counting sheep It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep And I ain't counting sheep It's so funny how we don't talk............

Rakkaus muistoja synnyttää rakkaus menneitä säilyttää maailmaan nuoruutta hehkuvaan riensimme kulkemaan sua niin kuin silloin muistan kun rakkaus merkitsi kaikkea elämään pohjan loit sä vain hengitin kuin osa oisin sua sydän rinnassain arkana tunteistain
Lämpöä päivät ja yöt tulvillaan kankailla kauneus haaveiden maan itkut ja naurut ja toiveemme nuo kehyksiin jäi eilisiin
Rakkaus muistoja synnyttää rakkaus menneitä säilyttää täyttäen toistemme tyhjyyden elimme loppuun sen sua niin kuin silloin muistan Kun rakkaus merkitsi kaikkea elämään pohjan loit sä vain hengitin kuin osa oisin sua sydän rinnassain arkana tunteistain (2x)

Liefde alleen Deel van herinnering Liefde alleen Deel van de eeuwigheid Hoe voor mij 't leven opnieuw begon Met enkel licht en zon En ik zie jou nog voor me
Toen liefde kwam Hevig als laaiend vuur Alles werd eindeloos en puur Ik was jong M'n hart en ziel zo vrij 'k Werd een deel van jou En jij een deel van mij
Licht was de klank van ons eeuwig bestaan Ieder gebaar, ieder woord, elke traan Tedere kleuren vol warmte als jij Leefde in mijn gedachten
Liefde alleen Deel van herinnering Liefde alleen Deel van de eeuwigheid Elke dag was weer een nieuw verhaal Met weer een nieuwe taal En ik zie jou nog voor me
Toen liefde kwam Hevig als laaiend vuur Alles werd eindeloos en puur Ik was jong M'n hart en ziel zo vrij 'k Werd een deel van jou En jij een deel van mij

J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage Un matin au pays des cigales La folie et le génie voyagent Bien au-delà du temps Bien par-dessus les océans
J'en ai lu j'en ai tourné des pages Pendant mes années folles ou sages Pour quelqu'un qu'on ne met pas en cage C'est un beau cadeau l'amour en héritage
Et si ma vie se traduit en je t'aime Si mes chemins ont croisé des torrents On est toujours un oiseau de bohème Une enfant du printemps
J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage Un matin au pays des cigales La folie et le génie voyagent Bien au-delà du temps Bien par-dessus les océans
J'en ai lu j'en ai écrit des pages Avant de poser mes bagages J'en ai vu tomber des pluies d'orage Avant de trouver l'amour en héritage

Try to see it my way Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on? While you see it your way Run a risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone We can work it out We can work it out
Think of what you're saying You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right Think of what I'm saying We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night We can work it out We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend I have always thought that it's a crime So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While you see it your way There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long We can work it out We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend I have always thought that it's a crime So I will ask you once again

Aber Dann ... Composer(s): Maria Grever - R.M. Siegel Performer(s): Greta Keller
Es begann wie ein Spiel Als wir zwei uns gesehen Nein, wir fragten nicht viel Und schon war es geschehen Aber dann, aber dann Als der Sturm sich gelegt War es das aller wert Daß wir zwei uns gehört Trafen wir uns zu zweit Waren wir schon so froh Für ein Glück ohne Zeit Irgendwann, irgendwo Aber dann, aber dann Als der Sturm sich gelegt War die Angst das nicht wert Daß wir zwei uns gehört Jeder Tag, jede Nacht Bin ich jetzt ohne dich Niemals hätte ich gedacht Du kamst aus ohne mich Aber dann, aber dann Es war doch etwas wert Daß wir zwei uns gehört Denn nun weiß ich allein Wie mit dir wird es hier Nie wieder sein
We Can Talk Composer(s): Richard Manuel Performer(s): The Band
We can talk about it now It's that same old riddle only starting from the middle I'd fix it but I don't know how Well, we could try to reason but you might think it's treason One voice for all Echoing across the hall Don't give up on father clock We can talk about it now Come, let me show you how To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to keep the engine churnin' Did you ever milk a cow I had the chance one day but I was all dressed up for Sunday Everybody, everywhere Do you really care Pick up your heads and walk We can talk about it now It seems to me we've been holding something underneath our tongues I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back It would likely burst your lungs Woh, stop me, if I should sound kinda down in the mouth But I'd rather be burned in Canada than to freeze here in the south Pulling that eternal plough We've got to find a sharper blade or have a new one made Rest awhile and cool your brow Don't need it, no need to slave, the whip is in the grave No salt, no trance It's safe now to take a backward glance The leaves have turned to chalk We can talk about it now We can talk about it now

We Can Reach An Understanding Composer(s): David & Rozaa Performer(s): David Essex
You won't ever be entirely mine But can't we meet from time to time? We can reach an understanding Sharing, caring We can reach an understanding Half your love is good enough All or nothing, that's what I should say But can't we find another way? We can reach an understanding Sharing, caring We can reach an understanding Half your love is good enough
If there's someone else with a claim on you Then I shouldn't hope for too much But I'd rather go for a day or two Than a life without your touch We can reach an understanding Sharing, caring We can reach an understanding Half your love is good enough We can reach an understanding Sharing, caring...
We Can Fly Composer(s): Bill Cowsill; Steve Duboff; Artie Kornfeld Performer(s): The Cowsills; Loveletter
See how the fluffy clouds move by us (See how the clouds move by) See how the morning mist can hide us away, (hide us away) And how the day (and how it's) is so much fun!
Isn't it groovy in a daydream? (Dreaming today) Doesn't it seem the day could never end? (Could never end) And so, my friend, we're one
Baby, it's funny how I can feel so sunny? When you're beside me, we can fly!
Oh, we can fly!
Hey, Mr. Wind, just keep us sailing (Keep us sailing along) High in the sky, there's no curtaining our fun So everyone, come on! Hey, you on the ground! Take a look up, and see what we've found!
Nothing to tie us, bluebirds come up to guide us When you're beside me, we can fly!
Oh, we can fly! We can fly! Hey! Everyone on the ground, let's fly!
Abdul Abulbul Amir (aka The Ballad Of Ivan Petrofsky Skevar) (Adapted from: Abdulla Bulbul Ameer) Composer(s): William Percy French Performer(s): Frank Crumit - 1928 and multiple other artists
The sons of the Prophet are brave men and bold And quite unaccustomed to fear But the bravest by far in the ranks of the Shah Was Abdul Abulbul Amir
If you wanted a man to encourage the van Or harass the foe from the rear Storm fort or redoubt, you had only to shout For Abdul Abulbul Amir
Now the heroes were plenty and well known to fame In the troops that were led by the Czar And the bravest of these was a man by the name Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
One day this bold Russian, he shouldered his gun And donned his most truculent sneer Downtown he did go where he trod on the toe Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
"Young man," quoth Abdul, "Has life grown so dull That you wish to end your career? Vile infidel know, you have trod on the toe Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"
"So take your last look at the sunshine and brook And send your regrets to the Czar For by this I imply, you are going to die Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar"
"My friend, your remarks in the end Will avail you but little, I fear For you ne'er will survive to repeat them alive Mister Abdul Abulbul Amir"
Then this bold Mameluke drew his trusty skibouk Singing, "Allah! Il Allah! Al-lah!" And with murderous intent he ferociously went For Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
They parried and thrust, they side-stepped and cussed Of blood they spilled a great part The philologist blokes, who seldom crack jokes Say that hash was first made on the spot
They fought all that night neath the pale yellow moon The din, it was heard from afar And huge multitudes came, so great was the fame Of Abdul and Ivan Skavar
As Abdul's long knife was extracting the life In fact he was shouting, "Huzzah!" He felt himself struck by that wily Calmuck Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
The Sultan drove by in his red-breasted fly Expecting the victor to cheer But he only drew nigh to hear the last sigh Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
Czar Petrovich, too, in his spectacles blue Sauntered up in his gold-plated car And arrived just in time to exchange a last line With Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
There's a tomb rises up where the Blue Danube rolls And engraved there in characters clear Is, "Stranger, when passing, oh pray for the soul Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"
A splash in the Black Sea one dark moonless night Caused ripples to spread wide and far It was made by a sack fitting close to the back Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps Neath the light of the cold northern star And the name that she murmurs in vain as she weeps Is Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
We Can Be Together Composer(s): Paul Kantner Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
We can be together Ah you and me We should be together We are all outlaws in the eyes of America In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge Fred? Hide and deal We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young But we should be together Come on all you people standing around Our life's too fine to let it die and We can be together All your private property is Target for your enemy And your enemy is We We are forces of chaos and anarchy Everything they say we are we are And we are very Proud of ourselves Up against the wall Up against the wall Fred (motherfucker) Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Come on now together Get it on together Everybody together We should be together We should be together my friends We can be together We will be We must begin here and now A new continent of earth and fire Come on now getting higher and higher Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Tear down the walls Won't you try
