Demolition Man
Composer(s): Vivian Campbell - Phil Collen - Joe Elliott
Performer(s): Def Leppard
Let me loose, I just got back I was pushed and I got dragged I tasted mud, I tasted wine I've kissed the life I've left behind So say I choose to stick around I've got news for this here town I kick the ball, I catch the bus And raise the roof for all of us
Destination anywhere So far gone, I'm almost there Can't you see I can't deny I'm out of here like I'm on fire
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal Television newsman so subliminal Bringing down the walls of wonderland Just another highbrow cowboy telling me Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be Here I am, your demolition man
Steal your car and leave a wreck Kiss your bride, I cash your check And Tyson plus I'm ripped and torn Been on the edge since I was born I kick the jukebox, change the tune I break the bank and jump the moon I sink the fleet to catch a buzz And raise a glass for all of us
Destination anywhere So far gone, I'm almost there Can't you see I can't deny I'm out of here like I'm on fire
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal Television newsman so subliminal Bringing down the walls of wonderland Just another highbrow cowboy telling me Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be Here I am, your demolition man
I'm a beast in space, I'm an acid taste I'm a primitive gong stuffed in your face It's enough to bring you to your knees
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal Television newsman so subliminal Bringing down the walls of wonderland Just another highbrow cowboy telling me Everything, everyone and all the things I ought to be Here I am, your demolition man Living like a caged-up animal, criminal Television newsman so subliminal Bringing down the walls of wonderland Just another highbrow cowboy telling me Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be Here I am, your demolition man
Überall auf der Welt scheint die Sonne Und das Leben erwacht von ihren Strahlen Überall suchen Menschen die Liebe Und sie glauben und hoffen für sich und für die Welt
Jede Nacht gehen Träume verloren Jeden Tag werden Wünsche neu geboren Überall auf der Welt blüh'n die Rosen Und die Wunder der Liebe gescheh'n Tag für Tag
Und auch dir und auch mir sind diese Wunder gemacht Sie gescheh'n wenn wir zwei uns begegnen Darum geh ich den Weg führt er durch Licht oder nicht Darum geh ich den Weg bis zu dir
Scheint die Zeit dir bis dahin noch weit Geh nicht traurig und leer durch das Leben
Überall auf der Welt scheint die Sonne Alle Schatten vergeh'n wenn wir uns wiederseh'n Glaube mir für uns zwei bleibt die Welt so schön Glaube mir für uns zwei bleibt die Welt so schön So schön so schön

Any Old Iron Composer(s): Charlie Collins - Terry Shepherd Performer(s): Peter Sellers and multiple other artists
Just a week or two ago my dear old Uncle Bill He went and kicked the bucket and he left me in his will So I went around the road to see my Auntie Jane She said, "your Uncle Bill has left you a watch and chain" So I put it on right across my derby kell The sun was shining on it and it made me look a swell I went out, strolling round about A crowd of kiddies followed me and they began to shout
"Any old iron? Any old iron? Any, any, any old iron? You look neat. Talk about a treat! You look so dapper from your napper to your feet Dressed in style, brand-new tile And your father's old green tie on But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch and chain Old iron, old iron"
I won't forget the day I went to London on the spree I saw the mayor of London there That's who I went to see He came along in a carriage and a pair I shouted, "come on, boys! All throw your hats up in the air" Just then the mayor, he began to smile Pointed to my face and said, "Lor Lummy, what a dial!" Started Lord-a-mayoring, and then to my dismay He pointed to my watch and chain and shouted to me "Hey Any old iron? ..."
I shan't forget the day I married Miss Elisa Brown The way the people laughed at me, it made me feel a clown I arrived in a carriage called a hack When I suddenly discovered I'd my trousers front to back So I walked down the aisle, dressed in style The vicar took a look at me and then began to smile The organ started playing The bells began to ring The people started laughing and the choir began to sing "Any old iron? ..."
Demain L'on Se Marie Composer(s): Jacques Brel Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Puisque demain l'on se marie Apprenons la même chanson Puisque demain s'ouvre la vie Dis-moi ce que nous chanterons
Nous forcerons l'amour A bercer notre vie D'une chanson jolie Qu'à deux nous chanterons Nous forcerons l'amour Si tu le veux, ma mie A n'être de nos vies Que l'humble forgeron
Puisque demain l'on se marie Apprenons la même chanson Puisque demain s'ouvre la vie Dis-moi ce que nous y verrons
Nous forcerons nos yeux A ne jamais rien voir Que la chose jolie Qui vit en chaque chose Nous forcerons nos yeux A n'être qu'un espoir A deux nous offrirons Comme on offre une rose
Puisque demain l'on se marie Apprenons la même chanson Puisque demain s'ouvre la vie Dis-moi encore où nous irons
Nous forcerons les portes Des pays d'orient A s'ouvrir devant nous Devant notre sourire Nous forcerons, ma mie Le sourire des gens A n'être plus jamais Une joie qui soupire
Puisque demain s'ouvre la vie Ouvrons la porte à ces chansons Puisque demain l'on se marie Apprenons la même chanson
Du sollst nicht weinen Wenn ich einmal von dir gehen muß Oh, denk nicht dran, noch ist der Tag so weit Auch morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen Für dich und mich, genau so schön wie heut
Du sollst nicht weinen Weil die Jahre viel zu schnell vergehen Und weil dein Junge einmal groß sein wird Denk an die Jahre, die noch vor uns liegen Vergiß den Tag, der mich einst von dir führt
Du sollst nicht weinen Wenn ich einmal von dir gehen muß Oh, denk nicht dran, ich bin ja noch bei Dir Auch morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen Und Rosen blühen noch lang vor deiner Tür Und Rosen blühen noch lang vor deiner Tür
Demain Je Recommence Composer(s): Guy Béart Performer(s): Guy Béart
Petit à petit tout s'effiloche Tout finit Je ne reçois plus que des taloches De la vie J'ai le cur qui fait la gueule Mais je pédale encor tout seul Je me retrouve au fond de l'eau A vélo
J'ai sonné portes et portes Téléphones Pour moi les saisons sont mortes Plus personne Quand je fais la queue je suis tranquille Je choisis la mauvaise file Comme ça j'ai à faire j'attends J'ai tout le temps
Mais demain je recommence Mais demain Je vais retrouver ma chance C'est certain J'ai gardé comme une flamme Qui éclaire un peu mon âme J'ai craqué une allumette Dans ma tête
Adieu ma chance Adieu destin Je recommence Et demain reviendra le matin
Je ne suis plus depuis une paye Dans le coup Toutes ces pubs quand je me réveille Ça me rend fou Je ne sais plus ce qui se trafique En politique en musique Les nouvelles en mal en bien Ça me dit rien
Je n'ai plus de pièces de rechange Pour rouler Maintenant tout le temps ça change C'est le progrès Je l'ai cassée ma courroie Mon klaxon reste sans voix Je n'ai même plus ma voie de garage Au chômage
Mais demain je recommence Mais demain Je repars en ambulance A Cochin Ils vont me guérir bien vite Après quoi je prendrais la lutte A pied à cheval à bécane A Sainte Anne
Adieu ma chance Adieu destin Je recommence Et demain reviendra le matin
Je ne vous entends plus mes proches Mes copains Vous avez vos femmes vos mioches Je le sais bien Je ne vous entends plus les gars Dans ma tête y a du dégât Vous ne me reconnaissez plus C'est bien vu
Où es-tu ma douce ma belle Reviens-moi Toi qui me donnais des ailes Autrefois Mon cur est cuit désormais Après toi je peux plus aimer Je vais tirer un coup en l'air C'est moins cher
Mais demain je recommence Mais demain Je retrouverai la romance Les câlins Il fera chaud en plein décembre Une fille dans ma chambre Un lit à deux jamais froid Bien étroit
Bonjour ma chance Bonjour destin Je recommence Et demain reviendra le matin
Mais demain je recommence Mais demain Je vais retrouver ma chance C'est certain J'ai gardé comme une flamme Qui éclaire un peu mon âme J'ai craqué une allumette Dans ma tête Aimer encore, souffrir encore Toujours... Demain il fera jour Demain...

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...

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

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
