Animals In The Zoo Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
You're just an animal in the zoo Sittin' round feeling persecuted and abused You're locked up and I'm on the loose But I can't quite tell who's looking at who 'Cause I'm an animal, too But you're locked up in a zoo And you look at me and I look at you
God made the heaven and the deep blue sea But man picked the flowers and he pulled up the trees God mad the moon and the rain and the sun But man made the money and the bombs and the guns So we're all animals, too But you're locked up in a zoo And you look at me and I look at you
I'm a prisoner but I got no cage I'm locked up but I got no chain But the good guys lose and the bad guys win That's why you're looking out and I'm looking in But we're all animals, too But you're locked up in a zoo 'Cause you look at me and I look at you
De La Luz Y La Sombra Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Ir andando sin norte sin oeste, sin este y extraviado del sur como gira este mundo de la luz a la sombra de la sombra a la luz de la luz y la sombra a ti
I know what I need I need you I can't see nothin else all I can see is you I don't care what they say about my state of mind I know what's good for me and you are just my kind We are animals We are animals We are animals We are animals
I know what I want I want you Shed your cloths forget your codes You know this is nothing new I smell your scent I taste your sweat I feel this passion too Let's trust our senses not our minds Let's break all the rules We are animals We are animals We are animals We are animals We are animals We are animals
Come with me run with me leave this world behind Come to me come with me I know that we will find We are animals We are animals We are animals We are animals We are animals We are animals
Animal Zoo Composer(s): Jay Ferguson Performer(s): Spirit
Living in the city I've been abused (He has) Jobs I keep and people I meet They don't do more than make me amused Everywhere I turn now, just more bad news So don't look now and don't ask how Gonna find me a way to the animal zoo Oh no, something went wrong Well you're much too fat and a little too long Hey hey, got too much to lose Got to get on back to the animal zoo
Looking at my body, I'm slipin down (So far) The air I breathe and the water I drink Is selling me short and turning me around Everyone I see now, on their way too (Everybody) So don't look now and don't ask how Gonna find a way home to the animal zoo Oh no, something went wrong Well you're much too fat and a little too long Hey hey, got too much to lose Got to get on home to the animal zoo Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(Look Out)
Oh no, something went wrong Well you're much too fat and a little too long Hey hey, got too much to lose Got to get on home to the animal zoo Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh no, something went wrong Well you're much too fat and a little too long Hey hey, got too much to lose Got to get on home to the animal zoo Oh no, something went wrong Well you're much too fat and a little too long Much too fat and a little too long Much too fat and a little too long (Repeat)
The Animal Speaks Composer(s): Robert Kidney Performer(s): The Golden Palominos; John Lydon; The Numbers Band
Gotta cross these night sky lights Down through the doorway, where I could lose a life The mess, obsessed, immersed in the lewd perfume Feel some woman in the room Maybe somewhere in the room See, watching where you feel, the way you walked back down Not about turning heads Pretending not to know what it's all about But it's about how you move me And how I'd like to make you feel (But in your mind charades?) Know what I am, know what I am Alone, afraid, living fast as I can No one will save me if I cannot save myself It's in my mind sometimes at night And I wait, for daylight, for you Eye to eye, the feeling rushes inside Eyes go wide they look away, already feel what's left to say Is it great to you? Does the desperation show? It's in my mind sometimes at night when I'm waiting for the daylight But nothing is said My mind is wound too tight Strangers been talking, pretending to know me Do you believe every lie they say? (Ha ha ha) Like I think all these women really want me And all these people - they're running around Ripping it up and tearing it down It's about how you move me, and how I'd like to make you feel It's in my mind sometimes at night while I wait for the daylight And I'm waiting eye to eye
De Kleine Schoorsteenveger Composer(s): William Blake - Boudewijn de Groot - Ruud Engelander
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
He kleine schoorsteenveger Je gezicht is nat van verdriet Wie heeft je in de kou gezet
He kleine schoorsteenveger Zijn je papa en mamma d'er niet Die zitten in de kerk en knielen voor het gebed
Omdat ik best tevreden was Al hadden we het niet rijk En ijzige kou me niet kon deren Kleden ze me in zwarte dode kleren En leerden ze me het lied van ongelijk
En omdat ik blij ben En ik zing altijd onder het werk Dachten ze dat ze geen onrecht begingen Prijzen God en de dominee en de koning in iedere kerk Die ook zo handig zijn in het goed praten van dingen Die ook zo handig zijn in het goed praten van dingen Die ook zo handig zijn in het goed praten van dingen Die ook zo handig zijn in het goed praten van dingen
Animal Instinct Composer(s): Bernie Baum - Bill Giant - Florence Kaye First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1965
Don't ever take your eyes off me Not even for a minute 'cause like a panther I might pounce And there'll be danger in it
I can be sneaky, fast as a snake I strike like a cobra, make no mistake And baby you'll be trapped, quick as a wink It's animal instinct
Don't think that I won't pin you down No matter how you plead it I'm like a lion who's been caged And you are gonna meet it
Watch out I'll warn ya', sharp as a hawk I'm wild as a tiger, I prowl and I stalk 'cause when a man feels thirst, he takes a drink It's animal instinct
You better not be caught off guard This wolf is on the search now A leopard just can't change it's spots And I'm about to lurch now
I roar like the jungle, I fight tooth and nail I just gotta get you, you'll fall without fail I'm ready for the kill, I'm right on the brink It's animal instinct It's animal instinct, animal instinct

De kinderen van de zee zijn alleen alleen met de wind die niets te spelen vindt dan regen, sneeuw, grijze mist een meeuw die wegvliegt over zee Leeg is nu het strand waar ik sliep met jou Het water beweegt over het zand en jij wilde aan land, zo ver weg
De kinderen van de zee waren heel alleen laten niets dan enkel wat verdriet dat pijn doet, vreemd, onbekend een lied dat aanvliegt over zee
Zwart is nu de nacht en nergens een schim Je weet dat ik hier op je wacht en zeg je dan zo zacht ja nergens
De kinderen van de zee zijn alleen alleen met de wind, die niets te spelen vindt dan regen, sneeuw, grijze mist een meeuw die wegvliegt over zee
Animal Farm Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
This world is big and wild and half insane Take me where real animals are playing Just a dirty old shack Where the hound dogs bark That we called our home I want to be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home
While I lay my head upon my pillow Little girl, come play beneath my window Though she's far from home She is free from harm And she need not fear She is by my side And the sky is wide So let the sun shine bright On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home
Girl, It's a hard, hard world, if it gets you down Dreams often fade and die in a bad, bad world I'll take you where real animals are playing And people are real people not just playing It's a quiet, quiet life By a dirty old shack That we called our home I want to be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm Animal Farm
Hij was twaalf, had rappe leden Jongen uit de Hof van Eden Als hij lachte, lachten luidkeels Alle leeuweriken mee Met zijn blikkering van tanden Met zijn marmerbleke handen Leek hij op een tere engel Uit een sierlijk bal masque
Hij kon klaterhelder zingen En zijn haar rook naar seringen Oh hij was een waterprins Die in zijn pak van goudlamee Was ontstegen aan de zee
Zij was dertien, een gazelle En haar naam was Annabelle Annabelle noemden haar zowel De hinde als het ree Met haar helderrode wangen Met haar glinsterende spangen Leek zij in haar gazen bruidsjurk 't Meest nog op een toverfee
Blauw waren haar vreemde ogen Blauw maar zonder mededogen Oh ze was een kleine meermin Die maar net van lieverlee Was ontstegen aan de zee
Samen in het ochtendgloren Wandelden ze langs het koren Mild en zonder ze te storen Scheen het zonlicht naar benee En onder de roze stralen Kuste hij haar lippen dralend En hij zei haar wonderwoorden Zelfs het gras luisterde mee
Op het horen van die woorden Week voor hen gedwee het korenen En het lispelde 'wees welkom' En bood doorgang aan die twee Zoals eens de Rode Zee
Toen hij, op geblaf van honden Dagen later werd gevonden Lag de blanke prins geschonden In het koren zonder fee Met z'n dode grote ogen Keek hij roerloos naar omhoog En langzaam ritselde zijn bloed nog uit een gruwelijke snee
Niemand wist meer te vertellen Hoezeer kleine Annabelle Had gehouden van haar engel Uit het sierlijk bal masque Maar nog altijd ruist de zee
No More I Love You's Composer(s): David Freeman - Joseph Hughes First release by: The Lover Speaks - 1986
I used to be lunatic from the gracious days I used to be woebegone and so restless nights My aching heart would bleed for you to see Oh but now... (I don't find myself bouncing round whistling and fortunes to make me cry) No more "I love you's" The language is leaving me No more "I love you's" Changes are shifting outside the word (The lover speaks about the monsters) I used to have demons in my room at night Desire,despair,desire,so many monsters Oh but now... (I don't find myself bouncing round whistling and fortunes to make me cry)
No more "I love you's" The language is leaving me No more "I love you's" The language is leaving me in silence No more "I love you's" Changes are shifting outside the word
They were being really crazy They were on the come And you know what mammy? Everybody was being really crazy Uh huh The monsters are crazy There are monsters outsides
No more "I love you's" The language is leaving me No more "I love you's" The language is leaving me in silence No more "I love you's" Changes are shifting outside the word
De Jodelende Fluiter Composer(s): Jo Dante Performer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen
De jodelende fluiter gaat op weg door bos en hei Maakt een praatje met de koeien in de wei Loopt dan opgewekt en vrolijk, zwaait eens lustig met z'n stok Maakt eens kennis met een geitje of een bok
En de kippen, of de vogels Weten zich door hem vereerd Zelfs een varken knort 'goeiemorgen' Als hij het kot passeert
De jodelende fluiter Dat is ne rare snuiter
Als hij jodelt, ja dan fluit hij niet Als hij fluit klinkt er een vrolijk lied Hij kent vast geen zorgen en verdriet Omdat hij nooit ergens kwaad in ziet
I went to the animal fair The birds and the beasts were there The big baboon by the light of the moon Was combing his auburn hair The monkey he got drunk And sat on the elephant's trunk The elephant sneezed and fell on her knees But what became of the monk, the monk The monk, the monk But what became of the monk?
The kangaroo was dressed In an elegant velvet vest The horse and pig were dancing a jig To the tune they loved the best The seal began to croon While juggling pink balloons The kangaroo had nothing to do But rattle the silver spoons, the spoons The spoons, the spoons But rattle the silver spoons
The lion made a bow And tried to kiss the cow The cow refused with several moos Which made the lion howl The parrots in the trees Were watching the chimpanzees The chimps were shy and covered their eyes And swung on the high trapeze, with ease With ease, with ease And swung on the high trapeze
De Igual A Igual
Composer(s): León Gieco - Luis Gurevich
Performer(s): León Gieco
Soy bolita en Italia soy colombo en Nueva York soy sudaca por España y paragua de Asunción Español en Argentina alemán en Salvador un francés se fue pa' Chile japonés en Ecuador
El mundo está amueblado con maderas del Brasil y hay grandes agujeros en la selva misionera Europa no recuerda de los barcos que mandó Gente herida por la guerra esta tierra la salvó
Si me pedís que vuelva otra vez donde nací yo pido que tu empresa se vaya de mi país Y así será de igual a igual Y así será de igual a igual
Tico, nica, el boricua, arjo, mejo, el panameño hacen cola en la Embajada para conseguir un sueño En tanto el gran ladrón lleno de antecedentes si lo para Inmigración pide por el presidente
Si me pedís que vuelva otra vez donde nací yo pido que tu empresa se vaya de mi país Y así será de igual a igual Y así será de igual a igual
Los llamados ilegales que no tienen documentos son desesperanzados sin trabajo y sin aliento Ilegales son los que dejaron ir a Pinochet Inglaterra se jactaba de su honor y de su ley
Si me pedís que vuelva otra vez donde nací yo pido que tu empresa se vaya de mi país Y así será de igual a igual Y así será de igual a igual
Animal Crackers In My Soup Composer(s): Irving Caesar - Ray Henderson - Ted Koehler Performer(s): Shirley Temple and multiple other artists
Once Mother said My litle pet you ought to learn your alphabet So in my soup I used to get All the letters of the alphabet I learned them all from A to Z And now my Mothers giving me
Animal crackers in my soup Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop Gosh oh gee but I have fun Swallowing animals one by one
In every bowl of soup I see Lions and Tigers watching me I make 'em jump right through a hoop Those animal crackers in my soup
When I get hold of the big bad wolf I just push him under to drown Then I bite him in a million bits And I gobble him right down
When their inside me where its dark I walk around like Noahs Arc I stuff my tummy like a goop With animal crackers in my soup
Animal crackers in my soup Do funny things to me They make me think my neighbourhood Is a big menagerie
For instance there's our Janitor His name is Mr Klein And when he Hollers at us kids He reminds me of a Lion
The Grocer is so big and fat He has a big moustache He looks just like a Walrus Just before he takes a splash
De Grenade À Seville Composer(s): Pierre Cour - Hubert Giraud - Georges Liferman Performer(s): Dalida
De Grenade à Séville S'en allait une fille voilée d'une mantille Qu'elle est belle, belle, quand on la voit Une rose sauvage fleurissait son corsage Un si joli corsage pas si sage, sage, sage que ça
Car l'amour est le roi de la terre Au printemps quand fleurit le muguet Gaie gaie gaie la jolie lavandière Dans sa robe légère voguait
De Grenade à Séville Des yeux noirs qui pétillent et regardent la fille Qui s'approche, proche, proche déjà Si la rose est sauvage l'est bien moins le corsage Un baiser sous l'ombrage ça n'engage, gage pas plus que ça!
Car l'amour est le roi de la terre Au printemps quand fleurit le muguet Gaie gaie gaie la jolie lavandière Dans sa robe légère voguait
De Grenade à Séville Par-dessus la charmille à volé la mantille Que la brise, brise emporte là-bas Et la rose sauvage éfeuillée par l'orage Est tombée du corsage pas plus sage, sage, sage que ça
Car l'amour est le roi de la terre Au printemps quand fleurit le muguet Gaie gaie gaie la jolie lavandière Dans sa robe légère voguait
De Grenade à Séville S'en vont main dans la main Un garçon une fille tout au long du chemin
