Any Major Dude Will Tell You Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen First release by: Steely Dan - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
I never seen you looking so bad my funky one You tell me that your superfine mind has come undone
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again When the demon is at your door In the morning it wont be there no more Any major dude will tell you
Have you ever seen a squonks tears? well, look at mine The people on the street have all seen better times
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again When the demon is at your door In the morning it wont be there no more Any major dude will tell you
I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do You can try to run but you cant hide from whats inside of you
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again When the demon is at your door In the morning it wont be there no more Any major dude will tell you
Demain il fera jour C'est quand tout est perdu Que tout commence Demain il fera jour Après l'amour Un autre amour commence Un petit gars viendra en sifflotant Demain... Il aura les bras chargés de printemps Demain... Les cloches sonneront dans votre ciel Demain... Tu verras la lune de miel briller Demain... Car demain Tu vas sourire encore Aimer encore, souffrir encore Toujours... Demain il fera jour
Dans ton cur brisé pour toujours Il reste encore de l'amour Tu crois ta douleur si profonde Que ta vie va s'arrêter là... La plus belle fille du monde Peut toujours donner plus qu'elle a...
Demain il fera jour C'est quand tout est perdu Que tout commence Demain il fera jour Après l'amour Un autre amour commence Un petit gars viendra en sifflotant Demain... Il aura les bras chargés de printemps Demain... Les cloches sonneront dans votre ciel Demain... Tu verras la lune de miel briller Demain... Car demain Tu vas sourire encore Aimer encore, souffrir encore Toujours... Demain il fera jour Demain...

Woman of the country now that I found you Longing for your soft and fertile delta And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing For the warm and tender shelter of your body Oh, Delta Lady
Your mine, yes your mine, Delta Lady Your mine, be all mine Delta Lady
Please don´t ask how many times I found you Standing wet and naked in the garden And I think of the days And the different ways I held you We were closely touching, yes our heart was beating
Your mine, yes your mine, Delta Lady Your mine, be all mine Delta Lady
Oh, when I'm home again in England I think of you my love 'Cause, I love you, love
There are concrete mountains in the city And pretty city women live inside them Oh, but yet it seems the city scene is lacking I'm so glad your waiting for me the country
Your mine, yes your mine, Delta Lady Your mine, be all mine Delta Lady

Alle Liebe dieser Erde findest du allein bei mir alle Liebe dieser Erde will dafür auch ich von dir
Delta Dawn
Composer(s): Alex Harvey - Larry Collins
First release by: Alex Harvey - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
'cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?
Any Kind Of Pain Composer(s): Frank Zappa Performer(s): Frank Zappa
You are the girl Somebody invented In a grim little office On Madison ave.
They were specific They made you terrific Red lips Blue eyes Blonde hair Un-wise You're all-American And, darling, they said so
You'd take any kind of pain from me Wouldn't you, baby? You'd take any kind of pain from me Wouldn't you, baby? Since you haven't got a brain Let me just explain Any kind of pain Is never a maybe
Her head's full of bubbles Her nose is petite! She looks like she never Gets nothin' to eat!
She dines with actors 'n wall street characters Dull talk Nice clothes See her? She blows She's so important 'cause he gets to do talk shows
And she'd take any kind of pain from me Wouldn't you, bobby? She'd take any kind of pain from me Wouldn't you, bobby? Since you haven't got a name Let me just explain Any kind of pain Is probably her hobby
She has moves up now She's come a long way They give her bunches Of words she can say!
When she's in a bold mood 'confinement loaf' sounds good That's right She's wrong! Let's end Her song
(it seems she's everywhere We just can't escape her Is this a miracle of pure evolution? And all the yuppie boys, they dream they will rape her She brings the 80's To a thrilling conclusion!)
Yes, she's every bit as tame as me Isn't she tender? Yes, she's every bit as lame as me Let us remember She gets only half the blame Only half the blame Only half the blame Unless we extend her
Della And The Dealer
Composer(s): Hoyt Axton
Performer(s): Hoyt Axton; King's Singers; Krüger Brothers
It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo
Left the city in a pick up truck
Gonna make some dreams come true
Yea,they rolled out west where the wild sun sets
And the coyote bays at the moon
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
and a cat named Kalamazoo
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word
Down Tucson way there's a small cafe
Where they play a little cowboy tune
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine
By the name of Randy Boone
Yea, Randy played her a sweet love song
And Della got a fire in her eye
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun
and the cat had a shot of Rye
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word
Yea, the dealer was a killer
He was evil and mean
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes
He snorted his coke through a century note
And swore that Boone would die
The stage was set when the lights went out
There was death in Tucson town
Two shadows ran for the bar back door
And one stayed on the ground
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word
Two shadows ran from the bar that night
And dog and cat ran too
And the tires got hot on the pick up truck
As down the road they flew
It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo
Left Tucson in a pick-up truck
Gonna make some dreams come true

Deliver Your Children
Composer(s): Paul McCartney - Denny Laine
Performer(s): Wings; Zelig
Well, The Rain Was A-Failin'
And The Ground Turned To Mud
I Was Watching All The People
Running From The Flood
So I Starred To Payin'
Though I Ain't No Prayin' Man
For The Lord To Come A Helpin'
Knowing He'd Understand
Deliver Your Children To The Good Good Life
Give'em Peace And Shelter And A Fork And Knife
Shine A Light In The Morning And A Light At Night
And If A Thing Goes Wrong You'd Better Make It Right
Well, I Had A Woman
She Was Good And Clean
She Spent All Day With The Washing Machine
But When It Come To Lovin'
She Was Never Around
She Was Out Getting Dirty
All Over Town
Deliver Your Children To The Good Good Life
Give'em Peace And Shelter And A Fork And Knife
Shine A Light In The Morning And A Light At Night
And If A Thing Goes Wrong You'd Better Make It Right
Well, I Was Low On Money
And My Truck Broke Down
I Was On My Way To The Lost And Found
So I Took It To A Dealer
I Said Make It Run
Well, I Ain't Got No Money
But I Got Me A Gun
I Said You Robbed Me Before
So I'm Robbing You Back
And If It Don't Put You Straight
It'll Put You On The Right Track
Well, I Ain't No Devil And I Ain't No Saint
But I Can Tell A Dealer By The Colour Of His Paint
Deliver Your Children To The Good Good Life
Give'em Peace And Shelter And A Fork And Knife
Shine A Light In The Morning And A Light At Night
And If A Thing Goes Wrong You'd Better Make It Right
If You Want Good Eggs
You Gotta Feed That Hen
And If You Wanna Hear Some More
Well, I'll Sing It Again

J'ai tant besoin de toi De tes grands yeux pleins de rêve De tes baisers pleins de fièvre Qu'un seul jour loin de toi Je ne suis plus moi-même Car loin de toi il n'est plus rien Plus rien que j'aime
J'ai tant besoin de toi Que mon amour et ma vie Sont une extase infinie Où tu es dans mes bras Rien qu'à moi, tout à moi Tu le sais bien, j'ai tant besoin Besoin de toi
De voir briller en tes yeux La folle envie des caresses Je donnerai un acteur et le ciel bleu Et toutes leurs richesses
J'ai tant besoin de toi De tes grands yeux pleins de rêve
De tes baisers pleins de fièvre Qu'un seul jour loin de toi Je ne suis plus moi-même Car loin de toi il n'est plus rien Plus rien que j'aime
T'aimer, oui je veux t'aimer Pour oublier que demain Tu peux partir Me laissant tous mes chagrins Et mon amour brisé
J'ai tant besoin de toi Que mon amour et ma vie Sont une extase infinie Où tu es dans mes bras Rien qu'à moi, tout à moi Tu le sais bien, j'ai tant besoin Besoin de toi....

Delilah I saw the light On the night That I passed by her window I saw the flickering shadow Of love on her blind She was my woman As she decieved me I watched and went out of my mind
My my my Delilah Why why why Delilah I could see, that girl Was no good for me But I was lost like a slave That no man could free
At break of day When that man drove away I was waiting I crossed the street to her house And she opened the door She stood there laughing I felt the knife in my hand And she laughed no more
My my my Delilah Why why why Delilah So before they come To break down the door Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
Any Kind Of Love Composer(s): Gary Richrath Performer(s): REO Speedwagon
Well if you're ever in a tight spot and all the things around you are gettin' hot come to me and I can cool you off And if you ever get yourself in a jam and if you ever feel you need to find a man call my number and, darling, you found one
But I know now, it can never work out the way I really wished that it would But a second-hand love is better than no love at all
And the walls get a little closer and my throat gets a little tighter when I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
If you got the feeling it ain't right tonight And if the fire at home ain't as hot as you like I've got a fire that's burning for you And if you ever feel you need to get away To get away from the rest of your life I'll come a-runnin' and show you the world

Du wirst rot, wenn ein Mann zu dir sagt 'Du bist wunderschön' und dir Rosen schenkt Du wirst rot, wenn ein Mann zu dir sagt dass er Tag und Nacht nur an dich noch denkt
Doch nimm das alles nur nicht so schwer und denke stets daran Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an
Und dein Herz, wie es schlägt, wenn ein Mann deine Hand ergreift und sie zärtlich hält Und dein Herz, wie es schlägt, wenn er sagt dass ihm nichts so gut wie dein Mund gefällt
Doch nimm das alles nur nicht so schwer und denke stets daran Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an
Denn du weißt noch nicht was Liebe ist weil dein Leben erst begann Später sieht das alles anders aus liebst du erst einen Mann
Wenn du weinst, weil du plötzlich erfährst dass derselbe Mann eine and're küsst Wenn du weinst, weil das Glück dich verließ und dein Herz jetzt weiß, was Enttäuschung ist
Dann nimm das alles nur nicht so schwer und denke stets daran Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an
Dann nimm das alles nur nicht so schwer und denke stets daran Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an
Delaney's Donkey
Composer(s): Robert Hargreaves
Performer(s): Val Doonican
and multiple other artists
Now Delaney had a donkey that everyone admired Tempo'rily lazy and permanently tired A leg at ev'ry corner balancing his head And a tail to let you know which end he wanted to be fed Riley slyly said "We've underrated it, why not train it?" Then he took a rag They rubbed it, scrubbed it They oiled and embrocated it Got it to the post And when the starter dropped his flag There was Riley pushing it, shoving it, shushing it Hogan, Logan and ev'ryone in town lined up Attacking it and shoving it and smacking it They might as well have tried to push the Town Hall down The donkey was eyeing them Openly defying them Winking, blinking and twisting out of place Riley reversing it Ev'rybody cursing it The day Delaney's donkey ran the halfmile race
The muscles of the mighty never known to flinch They couldn't budge the donkey a quarter of an inch Delaney lay exhausted, hanging round its throat With a grip just like a Scotchman on a five pound note Starter, Carter, he lined up with the rest of 'em When it saw them, it was willing then It raced up, braced up, ready for the best of 'em They started off to cheer it but it changed its mind again There was Riley pushing it, shoving it and shushing it Hogan, Logan and Mary Ann Macgraw She started poking it, grabbing it and choking it It kicked her in the bustle and it laughed "Hee Haw!" The whigs, the conservatives Radical superlatives Libr'rals and tories They hurried to the place Stood there in unity Helping the community The day Delaney's donkey ran the halfmile race
The crowd began to cheer it Then Rafferty, the judge He came to assist them, but still it wouldn't budge The jockey who was riding, little John MacGee Was so thoroughly disgusted that he went to have his tea Hagan, Fagan was students of psychology Swore they'd shift it with some dynamite They bought it, brought it, then without apology The donkey gave a sneeze and blew the darn stuff out of sight There was Riley pushing it, shoving it and shushing it Hogan, Logan and all the bally crew P'lice, and auxil'ary The Garrison Artillery The Second Enniskillen's and the Life Guards too They seized it and harried it They picked it up and carried it Cheered it, steered it to the winning place Then the Bookies drew aside They all commited suicide Well, the day Delaney's donkey won the halfmile race
