Anyway I Love You Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Here's another little song for you I hope you'll listen to it well Means no different than the others do And it won't change you I can tell Anyway, I love you Everyday I get more sure Anyway, I love you More and more and more and more and more I have so much I can offer you More to please you with than most But trying to tie you down is harder than Trying to hold on to a ghost
So if you ever feel the need for me Let it carry you along Don't be shy and try to hold it down 'Cause what you feel just can't be wrong

and multiple other artists
Désormais On ne nous verra plus ensemble Désormais Mon cur vivra sous les décombres De ce monde qui nous ressemble Et que le temps a dévasté Désormais Ma voix ne dira plus je t'aime Désormais Moi qui voulais être ton ombre Je serai l'ombre de moi-même Ma main de ta main séparée
Jamais plus Nous ne mordrons au même fruit Ne dormirons au même lit Ne referons les mêmes gestes Jamais plus Ne connaîtrons la même peur De voir s'enfuir notre bonheur Et du reste désormais
Désormais Les gens nous verrons l'un sans l'autre Désormais Nous changerons nos habitudes Et ces mots que je croyais nôtres Tu les diras dans d'autres bras Désormais Je garderai ma porte close Désormais Enfermé dans ma solitude Je traînerai parmi les choses Qui parleront toujours de toi
Jamais plus Nous ne mordrons au même fruit Ne dormirons au même lit Ne referons les mêmes gestes Jamais plus Ne connaîtrons la même peur De voir s'enfuir notre bonheur Et du reste désormais
Hey girl how's by you Sing your rock and roll Sing your blues But I'm all right you know I pay my dues Got 'em comin' to me Got 'em comin' to you
I'm gonna try again Don't matter if I win or lose Gonna try again anyway Yes I am, gonna try anyway Yes I will
But I know you You gonna be so cool Ain't gonna try no sweet talkin' I ain't no fool 'Cause I know you love me girl Just like I love you Got my feet on the ground And I know what I got to do
I'm gonna try again Don't matter if I win or lose Gonna try again anyway Yes I will, gonna try anyway Yes I will
Do you know where you're goin'? Honey where have you been? Do you see the games they're playin'? Do you really believe you can win?
I'm gonna try again Don't matter if I win or lose Gonna try again anyway Yes I will, gonna try anyway Yes I will
Desolation Row
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1974 - Via Della Povertà (Fabrizio De André)
2010 - De Verloren Straat (Ernst Jansz)
They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town Here comes the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants And the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go As Lady and I look out tonight From Desolation Row
Cinderella, she seems so easy "It takes one to know one," she smiles And puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davis style And in comes Romeo, he's moaning "You Belong to Me I Believe" And someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend You better leave" And the only sound that's left After the ambulances go Is Cinderella sweeping up On Desolation Row
Now the moon is almost hidden The stars are beginning to hide The fortunetelling lady Has even taken all her things inside All except for Cain and Abel And the hunchback of Notre Dame Everybody is making love Or else expecting rain And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing He's getting ready for the show He's going to the carnival tonight On Desolation Row
Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window For her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic She wears an iron vest Her profession's her religion Her sin is her lifelessness And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow She spends her time peeking Into Desolation Row
Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood With his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago With his friend, a jealous monk He looked so immaculately frightful As he bummed a cigarette Then he went off sniffing drainpipes And reciting the alphabet Now you would not think to look at him But he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On Desolation Row
Dr. Filth, he keeps his world Inside of a leather cup But all his sexless patients They're trying to blow it up Now his nurse, some local loser She's in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read "Have Mercy on His Soul" They all play on penny whistles You can hear them blow If you lean your head out far enough From Desolation Row
Across the street they've nailed the curtains They're getting ready for the feast The Phantom of the Opera A perfect image of a priest They're spoonfeeding Casanova To get him to feel more assured Then they'll kill him with self-confidence After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls "Get Outa Here If You Don't Know Casanova is just being punished for going To Desolation Row"
Now at midnight all the agents And the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone That knows more than they do Then they bring them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that nobody is escaping To Desolation Row
Praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn And everybody's shouting "Which Side Are You On?" And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot Fighting in the captain's tower While calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow And nobody has to think too much About Desolation Row
Yes, I received your letter yesterday (About the time the door knob broke) When you asked how I was doing Was that some kind of joke? All these people that you mention Yes, I know them, they're quite lame I had to rearrange their faces And give them all another name Right now I can't read too good Don't send me no more letters no Not unless you mail them From Desolation Row
I'll Find My Way Home Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Vangelis Performer(s): Jon & Vangelis
You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is lost How will I find what is near Don't question I'm not alone Somehow I'll find my way home My sun shall rise in the east So shall my heart be at peace And if you're asking me when I'll say it starts at the end You know your will to be free Is matched with secretly And talk will alter your prayer Somehow you'll find you are there Your friend is close by your side And speaks in far ancient tongue A seasons wish will come true All seasons begin with you A world we all come from A world we melt into one Just hold my hand and we're there Somehow we're going somewhere Somehow we're going somewhere
You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is strong I know it can't be long No questions I'm not alone Sometime I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home Sometime I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home Sometime I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home

Anytime That You Need Someone Performer(s): Tony Moore
Theres a smile in my eyes put there by you To remind me time flies when youve got lots to do So Im filling my days with all kinds of junk Just to find brand new ways of not getting drunk Theres a voice in my heart with a new alphabet Telling me I must start - to slowly forget But Im a stubborn old fool who cant say goodbye And Im breaking the rule that says hope has to die And I cant say goodbye to you Cos the words just wont leave my tongue And Im waiting to fly to you Anytime that you need someone Theres a dream that we share No one else can quite see And I know its not fair how they wont let us be But I live for my faith and what it can bring Not a day will I waste while my heart still can sing And I cant say goodbye to you Cos the words just wont leave my tongue And Im waiting to fly to you Anytime that you need someone Anytime that you need someone I would crawl across the universe It is no distance to traverse I would wait a million years for you If thats the only thing that I can do And I cant say goodbye to you Cos the words just wont leave my tongue And Im waiting to fly to you Anytime that you need someone And I cant let you leave my life Cos you have no comparison I will be there both night and day Anytime that you need someone Theres a smile in my eyes

Then The Music Stopped Composer(s): Werner Theunissen Performer(s): Pussycat
Then the music stopped, all the lights went out Someone is crying now a time ago For a moment we wished reality wasn't meant to be hurting so A falling star, music and candlelight You know where they are So darling lead me through the night When the music stopped, we just walked away Into every day people go Cloudy summer nights, dying city lights, now I know that I need you so
Please stay by me 'cause I can still feel the falling rain I wanna be loved by you and the music starts again
A falling star, music and candlelight You know where they are, so darling lead me through the night When the music stopped, we just walked away Into every day people go Cloudy summer nights, dying city lights, now I know that I need you so Please stay by me 'cause I can still feel the falling rain I wanna be loved by you and the music starts again
Come along with me I wanna be loved by you and the music starts again Come along with me I wanna be loved by you and the music starts again
Desnúdame Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Desnúdame muy lenta lentamente Desnúdame y cuenta cuéntame que es lo que vez nena en mi interior
Me hago leer el porvenir y qué... hago decir que ya no vivo aquí me meto en mi caparazón y voy silbando al amanecer una canción de borrachos en tren tan solo para volverte a ver y los dos sitiados y los dos mojados justo al filo de hacer el amor
Desnúdame muy lenta lentamente Desnúdame y cuenta cuéntame que es lo que vez nena en mi interior
Voy por las calles dibujando rayos en las paredes de los edificios dejando rastros en vano es como la terrible sensación de estar flotando en un lago azul mientras el bote vuelve a la orilla sin nosotros y los dos sitiados y los dos mojados justo al filo de hacer el amor
Desnúdame muy lenta lentamente Desnúdame y cuenta cuéntame que es lo que vez nena en mi interior
Desnúdame, desnúdame y cuéntame
Desnúdame muy lenta lentamente Desnúdame y cuenta cuéntame que es lo que vez nena en mi interior
Anytime (I'll Be There) Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka; Frank Sinatra
Anytime you need me babe Just call I'll be there Call and see what a good friend can be When you need someone to care Nothing more than understanding Just a man who's undemanding Like a leaf that's only landing suddenly Goes when the wind gently blows
And I'm asking nothing of you love Only what you want to give And I wish you what I wish myself As long as I may live Other arms will surely hold you Just remember the things that I told you When these arms of mine enfold you It's not out of greed but for love And for need
I love you so, I still do I'm sure you know when I'm holding you The sad part of seeing you is goodbye Call and I'll come when your world's come undone I'm like you, I get lonely too And I need someone to hold Knowing well this world can be hell And sometimes very cold
Nothing firm and nothing binding Now and then a slight reminding Waking up one day and finding Somewhere to run, somewhere to run Somewhere to run when your world's come undone Oh babe, I'll be there, I'll be there anytime
There's a certain thing about you Summer, fall and spring about you I could write and sing about you And never run out, never run out (no) Never run out of what you're all about Oh babe, I'll be there , I'll be there anytime
Tu ressembles à la musique que tu danses
Tu es violence, cadence et décadence
Robot, rebelle, madone des décibels
Deux grands yeux métal
Comme un ciel sans étoile
Deux scotch, un rock, on parle, on rit, on danse
Super gadget de discothèque qui danse, danse
Désirée
Désirée, oh, Désirée
Dans le cur t'as le spleen de ta génération
Désirée, oh, Désirée
T'as le corps en blue-jeans et les rêves en jupon
Et les rêves en jupon
Désirée
Tu portes bien ton nom
Désirée
Ton appartement, une petite kitchenette et un balcon
Poster de Jane Fonda sur le mur
Des poupées sur le lit
Je n'ai rien demandé
Tu m'apportes un whisky
Tu pars, tu r'viens
Baignoire de bain romantique
On fait l'amour trop tôt, pas bien, mécanique
Désirée
Désirée, oh, Désirée
Dans le cur t'as le spleen de ta génération
Désirée, oh, Désirée
T'as le corps en blue-jeans et les rêves en jupon
Et les rêves en jupon
Désirée
Tu portes bien ton nom
Désirée
Tu as l'angoisse de tout, de toi, de l'av'nir
Tu caches ta peur derrière ton rire
Oui tu es belle comme le désir
Désirée
Comme je t'aim'rais
Si tu savais pleurer
Désirée, oh, Désirée
Dans le cur t'as le spleen de ta génération
Désirée, oh, Désirée
T'as le corps en blue-jeans et les rêves en jupon
Et les rêves en jupon
Désirée
Tu portes bien ton nom
Désirée...
It was the third of June On that younger day Well I became a man At the hands of a girl Almost twice my age And she came to me Just like a morning sun And it wasn't so much Her words as such As the way they were sung It was the way they were sung
Desiree Oh, Desiree There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of you loving song Time was right, the night was long Remember, Desiree Oh Desiree Somehow I knew I could only have you Til the morning light If only for that single night Sweet Desiree, you made it right.
Then came the fourth of June On that sleepless night Well I tossed and I turned While the thought of her burned Up and down my mind For she was there and gone Without one regret But she continues on Like the words of a song I could not forget I could not forget
Desiree Oh, Desiree There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of your loving song Time was right, the night was long Remember, Desiree Oh, Desiree And though somehow I knew I could only have you Til the morning light The night was long, the time was right Do you remember, Desiree

Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het Baby

Mi aspecto perverso, mi lívido porno
Mi circulo abierto, mi tacto de oro
Tu espalda es un arpa, tus piernas un coro
que tienen en mente hacérmelo todo
Yo soy ese rayo que cayó del cielo
que vino a quemarte hasta el mismo infierno
Vos sos el espacio que habitan tus miedos
Yo tengo coraje y tengo deseo
Quiero tu lado salvaje, no necesito palabras
quiero sacarme las ropas, que no me sirven de nada
No soy turista del viaje, soy pasajero intranquilo
No me provoques ahora, tengo un cuchillo con filo
Y nada de lo que me digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
Con látigo en mano, me siento indefenso
la rabia que escupo, se la lleva el viento
Hay gente que inspira, que come excremento
hay gente que aspira la coca y el tiempo
Tu punto de vista, tu lado importante
Tu chumbo en la mano, sos un vigilante
Yo soy un espectro, soy un habitante
un cuerpo y un alma, un lucro cesante
Voy a salir a la calle a deshacer mi destino
Que es bueno estar en la lona y equivocar el camino
Podés comprarte una casa, podés comprarte un asilo
Hay cosas que no se compran, vos sabes bien lo que digo
Y nada de lo que me digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
La falsa utopía de un mundo perfecto
se hundió hace unos días
en un baño infecto
Políticamente, decente y correcto
Sos un policía, sos como un insecto
Flotás tranquilo y seguro, alrededor de la mierda
te veo andando derecho, resbalando por izquierda
no existe nadie que sepa, ninguna cosa en la tierra
y si estás libre de dudas, tirá la primera piedra
Y nada de lo que digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
Desierto... nena, estoy desierto, desierto...
