Action In The Streets Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Well don't move Why don't you listen to what I'm saying And hey you You better get up if you plan to be staying Get loose You got to listen to what the band is playing Oh tonight There's action in the street all night We're bopping to the big beat, go Get up off your seat and roll
At school The girls you know their dancing, mister 's just my speed And hey cool If action is the thing you need Well don't fool The kid's satisfaction guaranteed Oh tonight There's action in the street all night We're bopping to the big beat, go Get up off your seat and roll
Well hey man Yeah don't let the little girl sigh Understand If you just move your body side to side Raise your hand Shout until you're satisfied Oh tonight There's action in the street all night We're bopping to the big beat, go Get up off your seat and roll
We're All Alone Composer(s): Boz Scaggs Performer(s): Boz Scaggs; and various other artists
Outside the rain begins And it may never end So cry no more On the shore a dream Will take us out to sea Forever more, forever more
Close your eyes and dream And you can be with me 'Neath the waves Through the caves of hours Long forgotten now We're all alone, we're all alone
Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told It can't help but grow old Roses do, lovers too So cast your seasons to the wind And hold me dear, oh-oh-oh, hold me dear
Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin All's forgotten now We're all alone, ooh-ooh, we're all alone
Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin Owe it to the wind, my love
Action Composer(s): Steve Venet - Tommy Boyce Performer(s): Freddy Cannon and multiple other artists

Wer Schreibt Heut' Noch Liebesbriefe Composer(s): D. Zimmerman; Renée Marcard Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu' Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Wenn man sich heut' was sagen will dann ist das schnell getan Man geht zum nächsten Telefon und ruft einfach an Und ist sie in Gerzerslo Er jedoch anderswo Ist man ganz modern Und spricht eben fern
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu' Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Ich führ' auch noch ein Tagebuch weil ich romatisch bin Auf jeder Seite stehst du da hundertmal schon drin Ich träume auch noch gern zu zwein Auf einer Bank im Mondenschein Und bin gerne wahr Ganz sentimental
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu' Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Acting Very Strange Composer(s): Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Mike Rutherford
If I step into the light And hold it in my hand Nothing left to see, Nothing left for me, anyway I feel the world is slipping Out of reach (I'm all alone) It's a memory It's a memory that used to be
In a little while I know it'll be too late Somebody help me, please Cos you're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange
Oh, you never come here any more You never even call To see if I'm alright Get me through the night Like you used to do
In a little while I know it'll be too late Now I'm certain That you're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange
Another lonely day without you, oh I'm acting very strange without you, oh Another lonely day without you, oh I'm acting very strange without you, oh
Oh, the place is getting very hot I'm afraid to stay Something's going on Something's very wrong with you and me If I reach out to touch your face There's nothing there to touch It's a memory It's a memory of you and me
In a little while I know it'll be too late Now I'm certain That you're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange You're acting very strange
I'm acting very strange without you, oh Another lonely day without you, oh I'm acting very strange without you, oh Another lonely day without you, oh
Wenn Ich Träum English Title: When I Dream Composer(s): S. Mason-Theoret; Michael Künze Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Rosen vor dem Fenster Und der Blick auf's Meer hinaus Ein verwunschener alter Park Ein Kiesweg vor dem Haus Kleider und Geschenke Was man sich nur wünschen kann All das geb ich gerne her Mir liegt nichts daran
Denn wenn ich träum Träum ich von dir Und frage mich wann Kommst du zu mir
Keine Schwäche zeigen Sich von ihrem Zwang befrei'n Unabhängig selbstbewusst Ich wollt es immer sein Ich lege das Make up auf Und zeige nicht was ich fühl Doch ich glaube selbst nicht an Die Rolle, die ich spiel
Denn wenn ich träum Träum ich von dir Und frage mich wann Kommst du zu mir
Ja wenn ich träum Träum ich von dir Und frage mich wann Kommst du zu mir
Act Of War Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John; Millie Jackson
This ain't no battle honey, this ain't no fight How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night If I take a drink, is that against the law And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war
Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home I didn't build it up for you to live here on my own And if you think it's easy to forget about me You'd better think twice, you'd better believe it's an act of war
We're living on the front line you and me Fighting on this battleground of misery Oh go ahead bring on your artillery And we'll make this an act of war Give it all you've got `cause I'm all dug in Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin Winner takes all, let the best man win And we call it an act of war
Well I'm a man of convenience I work a long hard day After twelve long hours ain't I got the right to play If living together is getting in the way Then I call that an act of war
Well if that's your game then honey two can play I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way Ain't no way baby this girl's gonna stay I call it, I call it an act of war
And it looks like time ain't been on our side If we could turn the clock back We might survive this act of war
Wenn Ich 64 Bin English Title: When I'm Sixty-Four Performer(s): Udo Lindenberg
Wenn ich mal alt bin, die Haare sind futsch, im Jahr 2010 Wirst Du dann immer noch bei mir sein?
Uh, das fänd' ich schön Wenn ich senil bin
mit'm riesigen Bauch und 'nem schönen Doppelkinn Wirst Du mich lieben, immer noch lieben, wenn ich 64 bin?
(Kehrreim:) Wenn ich am Tag nur noch zwei Schnäpse vertrag' und nur noch einmal im Monat bumsen mag Wirst du mich lieben, immer noch lieben, wenn ich 64 bin?
Jeden Sommer mieten wir uns ein Häuschen auf Sylt wenn die Rente reicht, die Enkel kommen uns besuchen ich spiel' mit denen am Strand, bau 'ne Burg aus Sand und Du backst den Haschischkuchen
Wenn ich mal alt bin, ich geh' am Stock, und in den Knien ganz weich Wenn ich dann mit glänzendem Nostalgie-Blick am Onkel Pö vorüberschleich' Wirst Du dann sagen: Alter, keine Panik, für mich bist Du immer noch der King Wirst Du mich lieben, oh, immer noch lieben, wenn ich 64 bin?

Wenn Ich Ein Junge Wär' Composer(s): H. Buchholz; G. Loose Performer(s): Rita Pavone; Nina Hagen
Wenn ich ein Junge wär, das wäre wunderschön dann könnt ich jeden Tag in langen Hosen gehn Und käm ich abends spät nach Haus macht Mama nicht ein Drama daraus das wäre halb so schwer wenn ich ein Junge wär
Doch wenn Tino Tino Tino mich küsst und wenn Tino Tino lieb zu mir ist wird bei Tino Tino Tino mir klar eine picco, piccolina, carina, bambina si si, signorina zu sein, ist wunderbar!
Wenn ich ein Junge wär mit einem Motorrad dann wäre ich bekannt, bald in der ganzen Stadt Ich trau mir zu, im Fußballverein ein guter Mittelstürmer zu sein das wäre halbso schwer wenn ich ein Junge wär
Doch wenn Tino...
Wenn ich ein Junge wär, dann wüsste ich so gut was ein verliebter Boy aus lauter Liebe tut das wäre halb so schwer wenn ich ein Junge wär
Act Of Contrition Composer(s): Madonna Performer(s): Madonna
For thou art the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory Forever and ever. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy...
Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee And I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment But most of all, because I have offended Thee, oh my God Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace To confess my sins, to do penance, to amend my life And to avoid the temptations of evil
Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee And I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment But most of all, because my God, I have offended Thee Who art all good Like I knew you would And deserving of all my love I reserve, I reserve, I reserve I reserve, I resolve I have a reservation I have a reservation! What do you mean it's not in the computer??!!
Wenn Du Mich Noch Magst Performer(s): Caterina Valente
Ja du hast mir sehr weh getan Doch ich klage dich niemals an Wenn ein Mann eine and're liebt ist niemand schuld daran
Dass ich mir viel zu sicher war wurde mir erst viel später klar Doch nun hab' ich gehört dir soll's nicht gutgeh'n und du bist allein
Wenn du mich noch magst wenn du mich noch willst wenn du mich noch liebst dann komm doch wieder zurück zu mir Versuch' noch einmal dein Glück mit mir
Wenn du mich noch magst wenn du mich noch willst wenn du mich noch liebst dann mach doch einfach die Türe auf ich warte nur darauf
Ich hab' lang drüber nachgedacht warum jeder den Fehler macht daá er Liebe für selbstverständlich hält in seiner Welt
Erst im Dunkel der Einsamkeit sehnt man sich nach Gemeinsamkeit Alle Tage nur deine Hand zu halten mehr wünsch' ich mir nicht
Wenn du mich noch magst
Denn immer noch klingen die Lieder die Lieder von einst Sie sagen mir alles wird wieder wird wieder wie einst Wenn du mich noch magst soll alles and're vergessen sein ich bin und bleibe dein
Wenn Alle Ströme Versiegen Performer(s): The Hootenanny Singers
Wenn alle Ströme versiegen Wenn Rosen blühen im Schnee Wenn keine Vögel mehr fliegen kein Fisch mehr schwimmt in der See Wenn alle Sterne fallen und nachts der Himmel leer Erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling liebe ich dich nicht mehr
Wenn winters die Knospen zerspringen im Frühling verdorrt jedes Laub Wenn keine Kinder mehr singen die Berge zerfallen zu Staub Strömt Wasser durch die Wüste und sind die Städte leer erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling liebe ich dich nicht mehr
Erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling liebe ich dich nicht mehr

Welterusten Mijnheer De President Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot; Lennaert Nijgh Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Meneer de president, welterusten Slaap maar lekker in je mooie witte huis Denk maar niet teveel aan al die verre kusten Waar uw jongens zitten eenzaam ver van huis
Denk vooral niet aan die 46 doden Die vergissing laatst met dat bombardement En vergeet het vierde van die 10 geboden Die u als goed Christen zeker kent
Denk maar niet aan al die jonge frontsoldaten Eenzaam stervend in de verre tropennacht Laat die bleke pacifistenkliek maar praten Meneer de president, slaap zacht
Droom maar van de overwinning, en de zege Droom maar van uw mooie vredesideaal Dat nog nooit door bloedig moorden is verkregen Droom maar dat het u wel lukken zal ditmaal
Kijk maar niet naar al die mensen die verrekken Hoeveel vrouwen, hoeveel kind'ren zijn vermoord Droom maar dat u aan het langste eind zult trekken En geloof van al die tegenstand geen woord
Bajonetten met bloedige gevesten Houden ver van hier op uw bevel de wacht Voor de glorie en de eer van 't vrije westen Meneer de president, slaap zacht
Schrik maar niet te erg, wanneer u in uw dromen Al die schuldeloze slachtoffers ziet staan Die daarginds bij het gevecht zijn omgekomen En uw vragen hoelang dit nog zo moet gaan
En u zult toch ook zo langzaamaan wel weten Dat er mensen zijn die ziek zijn van 't geweld Die het bloed en de ellende niet vergeten En voor wie nog steeds een mensenleven telt
Droom maar niet teveel van al die dooie mensen Droom maar fijn van overwinning en van macht Denk maar niet aan al die vredeswensen Meneer de president, slaap zacht!
Across This Town And Gone Composer(s): Buck Owens - Gene Price Performer(s): Buck Owens
It's time to leave so let me go I've just been wasting time I'll call you in a year or so If I can spare a dime
We couldn't change the bad to good The good Lord knows we tried And a one way love just ain't no good And I can't live a lie
So I'll just hit the road a cryin' low I'll walk so fast you'll never know I'm cryin' and dyin' Before one teardrop hits the ground I'll be halfway across this town and gone
Perhaps in time the hurt will heal If I just walk away I love you so I hate to go But there's no other way So I'll just hit the road
Before one teardrop hits the ground I'll be halfway across this town and gone...
