Absolutely Sweet Marie ((Swedish Version: Utan Tvekan Min Marie (by Mikael Wiehe & Ebba Forsberg) - 2007)) Composer(s): Bob Dylan First release by: Bob Dylan - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it Sometimes it gets so hard, you see I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet With all these promises you left for me But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick Yes, I waited for you when you hated me Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic When you knew I had some other place to be Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately
Well, six white horses that you did promise Were fin'lly delivered down to the penitentiary But to live outside the law, you must be honest I know you always say that you agree But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I don't know how it happened But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate But ev'rybody else, even yourself They're just gonna have to wait
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets The Persian drunkard, he follows me Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it You see, you forgot to leave me with the key Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed That a man can't give his address out to bad company And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad In the ruins of your balcony Wond'ring where you are tonight, sweet Marie
We Want Our Daddy Dear, Back Home (aka Hello Central, Give Me France) Composer(s): James M. Reilly; Harry De Costa
A little girl woke when the dawn was near And the nurse said "See your new brother," dear She went to her mother with wondring stare And their thoughts were of Dad who's "over there" The little girl crept down the stairs all alone And this love call she sent through the telephone
The little girl smiled, then the clock struck one As the Central called White House, Washington The President heard and he understood Like the father of this great country should He cabled in code every word Central said In the trenches in France the proud Daddy read
Hello, Central, give me France I want to talk to Daddy dear Because I'd like to tell him while I got the chance The stork brought a brand new baby here Won't you say that its "me" And he'll answer you'll see So hurry, please, and get him on the phone Hello, Central, give me France 'Cause we want our Daddy dear back home
Utan Tvekan Min Marie ((Adapted from: Absolutely Sweet Marie (by Bob Dylan) - 1966)) Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Mikael Wiehe Performer(s): Mikael Wiehe & Ebba Forsberg - 2007
Ah, din pansardörr, jag orkar inte med den Ibland så får jag bara kris Så jag sitter här och fingrar lite på trumpeten och undrar om du tänker komma hit Var är du ikväll, min Marie
Jag vänta på dej när jag var trött och sliten Jag vänta på dej när du var kall som is Jag vänta på dej mitt i eftermiddagstrafiken när jag varken hade pengar eller tid Så var är du ikväll, min Marie
Dom andra du har är dubbelt så bra som jag uppenbart Men sen är del klart att inte många kan va som du Och dee ju tur
Dom vita varor, du hade lånat har äntligen kommit tillbaka hit till vårt menageri Ska man va laglös får man hålla det man lovar och ingen var så lovande som vi Så var är du ikväll, min Marie
Dee svårt att förstå men kaptenen på pråmen han känner mej Men resten av stan får vänta ett tag Det gäller också dej
Jag har fått feber i hela kroppen Nåt persiskt fyllo tar min tid Jag kan ta honom till din port men inte låsa upp den Du vet, du gav mej aldrig nycklar dit Var är du ikväll, min Marie
Jag fick ditt brev när jag satt inne och förstod att det inte finns nån gräns för mänskligt hyckleri Och nu står jag vid ditt hus med mina minnen och tycker mest det liknar en ruin Var är du ikväll, min Marie
Absolutely Right Composer(s): Les Emmerson Performer(s): Five Man Electrical Band; AC-Rock
I'm knockin' on your door So you let me in I swear I won't be the way I was before Don't you know that I was thinking About what you told me Rollin' it over in my mind And much to my surprise I find That you were absolutely right You've been right all along You're absolutely right and I'm wrong Second time around should be easy Break down the wall between me and you So we can see completely How easy love can be I know it was you who said It would be me who'd come crawlin' Back to you upon my knees And you were absolutely right You've been right all along You're absolutely right and I'm wrong I wish that you could see Oh how bad I want to be Oh the kind of man to who You'd give your key If you'd let me in the room again Come supper time we'll be sittin' By the fire this evening Drinkin' homemade wine We can laugh and dance and sing And play and love the night away
We Three (My Echo, My Shadow, And Me) Composer(s): Nelson Cogane; Sammy Mysels; Dick Robertson Performer(s): The Ink Spots; and various other artists
We three, we're all alone Living in a memory My echo, my shadow, and me
We three, we're not a crowd We're not even company My echo, my shadow, and me
What good is the moonlight The silvery moonlight that shines above? I walk with my shadow I talk with my echo but where is the one I love? We three, we'll wait for you Even till eternity my echo, my shadow, and me
We three we're all alone Seems like we're living in a memory That's my echo my shadow and me We three we ain't no crowd Fact is we ain't even company That's my echo my shadow and me You know I been wondering-what good is the moonlight that silvery moonlight that shines way, way up above? Yeah, I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo but where is that gal that I love? We three, we'll wait for you Even till eternity My echo, my shadow, and me
Absolute Beginners Composer(s): Paul Weller Performer(s): The Jam
In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream I looked across this world, there was no one to be seen This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away I saw no warmth in life , no love was in my eyes I stared a century thinking this will never change As I hesitated, time rushed onwards without me Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall But the Absolute luck is, love is in our hearts
I lost some hours thinking of it I need the strength to go and get what I want I lost a lifetime thinking of it and lost an era daydreaming like I do
I stared a century thinking this would never change As I hesitated, time marched onwards without me Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall But the Absolute luck is, love is in our hearts
In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream But look around this world, there's millions to be seen Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools, 'cos love is in our hearts!
I lost some hours thinking of it I need the strength to go and get what I want I lost a lifetime thinking of it and lost an era daydreaming like I do
You can lose some hours thinking of it You need the strength to go and get what you want You can lose a lifetime thinking of it And lose an era daydreaming like I do
We Should Be Together Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Maria Muldaur
We should be together Like the walls and ceiling Like a door and doorknob Like the hat on your knob Like butler goes with doorbell Keyhole with key I think we'll get by If you'll stick with me
We should be together Like the frame and picture Like shoes and stockings Like the clocks tick tockings Like tap and toe, like high and low Stop and go honey Your a perfect lady Your a regular guy We should be together, you and I
We should be together Like bread and butter We should be together Like putt and putter Like corned beef with cabbage And lamb with stew How lucky I am that I go with you
We should be together Like rhyme and reason Like a coat and muffler When the weather's freezin' Like June and Moon In every popular song Baby, your a cup of coffee Your a peachy pie We should be together, you and I
Absolute Beginners Composer(s): David Bowie First release by: David Bowie - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
I've nothing much to offer There's nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner And I'm absolutely sane As long as we're together The rest can go to hell I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners With eyes completely open But nervous all the same
If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true
Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake Oh we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners But if my love is your love We're certain to succeed
If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true
I remember the sun beating down Across my back The taste of olives and pleasures that You taught me And we broke bread and then we drank Cheap white wine Memories of happiness frozen for all time
I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love
And i remember laughing so much we cried You knew my every thought, there was Nothing i could hide We celebrated moons we marvelled at The night sky With flute and drum and pen we were Grateful for our lives
I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love
I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love
We Saw The Sea Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Fred Astaire; and various other artists
We joined the Navy to see the world And what did we see? We saw the sea We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic But the Atlantic isn't romantic And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be
We joined the Navy to do or die But we didn't do and we didn't die We were much too busy looking at the ocean and the sky And what did we see? We saw the sea We saw the Atlantic and the Pacific But the Pacific isn't terrific And the Atlantic isn't what it's cracked up to be
They tell us that the Admiral Is as nice as he can be But we never see the Admiral Because the Admiral has never been to sea
We joined the Navy to see the girls And what did we see? We saw the sea Instead of a girl or two in a taxi We were compelled to look at the Black Sea Seeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be
Sailing, sailing home again To see the girls upon the village green Then across the foam again To see the other seas we haven't seen
We owe the Navy an awful lot For they taught us how to do the Sailor's Hornpipe And they showed us how to tie a sailor's knot But more than that, they showed us the sea We never get seasick sailing the ocean We don't object to feeling the motion We're never seasick but we are awful sick of sea
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder Composer(s): Samuel M. Lewis - Harry Warren - Joseph Young Performer(s): Dean Martin; The Ames Brothers; Russ Morgan
If you should leave me I know it would grieve me So honey please remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder For somebody else
I love you dearly I'm yours sincerely But honey please remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder For somebody else
When the cat's away the mice will play I don't say I will but still I may I may be blue away from you And then again I may be gay
When I get fretful I get forgetful So honey please remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder For somebody else
When the cat's away the mice will play I don't say I will but still I may I may be blue away from you And then again I may be gay
When I get fretful I get forgetful So honey please remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder For somebody else For somebody else
We Said Hello, Goodbye (Don't Look Back) Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
We said goodbye to a dear old friend And we packed our bags and left feeling sad It's the only way We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads Gave a smile It's the only way Only way Turn your head And don't look back Set your sails for a new horizon Don't turn around don't look down Oh there's life across the tracks And you know it's really not surprising It gets better when you get there oh Well it really don't matter much where you are Cause home is in your heart It's a feeling that you wake with one day Some people key p running all their life And still find they haven't gone too far They don't see it's the feeling inside - the feeling inside oh Turn your head and don't look back Just set your sails for a new horizon Don't turn around don't look down Oh there's life across the tracks And you know it's really not surprising It gets better when you get there We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads Gave a smile - it's the only way
We pretend that the end hasn't found us And we cling to the things left behind us Line by line, every rhyme has been written And time left us here unaware
In our eyes gentle sighs went unspoken Yes, the days will remain unforgotten Love went by and we tried once too often To save all the dreams that we share
And here we stand, the silent strangers Afraid to ask which way to go Our empty hands at last surrender The reason why we'll never know
We pretend that the end of our rainbow Cannot die if it lies like a shadow Willows bend when the wind blows to conquer The leaves that have withered away
We can't run to the sun like we used to Nothing lasts from the past that we once knew You and I can deny that it's over And yet we must face it somehow
Yet here we stand, the silent strangers Afraid to ask which way to go Our empty hands at last surrender The reason why we'll never know
We pretend that the end hasn't found us And we cling to the things left behind us Line by line, every rhyme has been written And time left us here unaware
In our eyes gentle sighs went unspoken Yes, the days will remain unforgotten Love went by and we tried once too often To save all the dreams that we share
Seinem Geiste bekenne Ich Mich Ein Sehnen verzehret sein schönes Gesicht Das ermattet von Güte beschattet allmächtig ist
Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht Im Träume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt
Den heulenden Jubel erkenne Ich nicht Der Mir den heiligen Frieden zerbricht Sein schweigender Mund, seine schlafende Brust Harren zärtlich der süßen Lust
Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht Im Träume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt

Abre Tu Ventana Composer(s): Victor Jara Performer(s): Victor Jara
Maria, abre la ventana y deja que el sol alumbre por todos los rincones de tu casa Maria, mira hacia afuera nuestra vida no ha sido hecha para rodearla de sombras y tristezas
Maria ya ves no basta nacer, crecer, amar para encontrar la felicidad Paso lo mas cruel ahora tus ojos se llenan de luz y tus manos de miel tus manos de miel tus manos de miel Maria...
Tu risa brota como la mañana brota en el jardin Maria Tu risa brota como la mañana brota en el jardin Maria
(We Must Have Been) Out Of Our Minds Composer(s): Melba Montgomery Performer(s): Bobby Bare; and various other artists
We said our goodbyes long ago Never thinking we'd miss each other so All the memories we can't leave behind Oh, we must have been out of our minds
I thought I loved another, not you How foolish I thought the same, too They both turned out to be the wrong kind Oh, we must have been out of our minds
Let's forgive and forget the past we've known And reap together the wild seeds we've sown Surely they can forgive us and find That we must have been out of our minds
I thought I loved another, not you How foolish I thought the same, too They both turned out to be the wrong kind Oh, we must have been out of our minds Yes, we must have been out of our minds
