Theres a village that I love in Leicestershire Always had my heart enthralled Where the stars are bright above in Leicestershire Believe it or not its called
Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey Thats the only place that I long to be Skies are full of blue And the cows are full of moo In Ashby De La Zouch By the sea
Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey Its a little bit of heaven to me Girls have pretty curls And the boys have pretty girls In Ashby De La Zouch by the sea
Its just a little hum-drum place But youll be glad that you came Its such a beautiful someplace Aint it a shame that its got such a name
Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey, Thats the only place where I long to be If you want a smooch And be happy as a pooch Go to Ashby De La Zouch by the sea
Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans
Composer(s): Louis Alter - Eddie DeLange
First recording/First release by: Louis Armstrong and His Dixieland Seven - 1946/1947
Covered by multiple other artists
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans And miss it each night and day I know I'm not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger The longer I stay away
Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines Where mockingbirds used to sing I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi Hurrying into Spring
The moonlight on the bayou A Creole tune that fills the air I dream about magnolias in bloom And I'm wishin I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans When that's where you left your heart And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans

Covered by multiple other artists
Been forty days since I don't know when I just saw her with my best friend Do you know what I mean? Do you know, know what I mean?
I just saw her yesterday I just saw her, asked her to stay Do you know what I mean? Lawd, Do you know what I mean?
Her and Bobby were steppin out Her and Bobby didn't know I found out Do you know what I mean? Do you know, know what I mean?
So I asked her if she still cared She didn't hear me, she just stared Do you know what I mean? Lawd, Do you know what I mean?
And then she said Lee you haven't loved me in nearly four years You haven't noticed that I held back my tears And now you have, but it's really too late Better find yourself another girl Better find another girl Better find uh, another place
She just left me yesterday She just left me, had nothing to say Do you know what I mean? Oh, do you know what I mean?
She's a dandy, yes indeed She's a dandy, but now she's free Do you know what I mean? Lawd, do you know what I mean?
Been forty days since I don't know when Do you know what I mean? Lawd, do you know what I mean?
I just saw her yesterday I just saw her, learn how to stay Do you know what I mean? Lawd, Do you know what I mean?
Asesina De Mi Vida Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
No sé cómo te soporto no sé como te tolero debe ser el fin de siglo o que estoy enloqueciendo Sé que amarte es un combate donde siempre caigo preso pero bien valen tus rejas un descenso a los infiernos
Me someto a tu malicia como quien profesa un credo no me quedan más esquemas que las reglas de tu juego Bailo al son de tus caprichos dices negro y digo negro no te llevo la contraria porque no deseo hacerlo
Vas a acabar con mis días y mis noches, asesina asesina de mi vida.
Tu crueldad es una esponja que succiona mi cerebro me torturas lentamente con tu corazón de hielo No tienes la sangra fría que eso es tener sangre al menos lo que corre por tus venas es dulcísimo veneno
Mira que te gusta verme humillado como un perro qué te importa maltratarme si ni siento ni padezco Pero todo se me pasa como si fuera un mal sueño cuando veo que tus ojos me insinúan: ahora quiero
Do You Know The Way To San Jose?
((French Version: La Route Du Bonheur (Liliane Saint Pierre) - 1969))
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
First release by: Dionne Warwick - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Do you know the way to San Jose? I've been away so long I may go wrong and lose my way Do you know the way to San Jose? I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose
L.A. is a great big freeway Put a hundred down and buy a car In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas
Do you know the way to San Jose? They've got a lot of space There'll be a place where I can stay I was born and raised in San Jose I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose
Fame and fortune is a magnet It can pull you far away from home With a dream in your heart you're never alone Dreams turn into dust and blow away And there you are without a friend You pack your car and ride away
I've got lots of friends in San Jose Do you know the way to San Jose? Can't wait to get back to San Jose

Dames en Heren: Elke lady, elke lord is hier Al wat adel is of wordt, is hier Wat betoverend, oog- en hart- verov'rend is toch weer die echte Ascot-sfeer Aan de start staan alle paarden wie van hen gaat strijken met de eer?

Daar gaat de bel al! O, wat snel al gaan ze ... Kijk! Ze zijn gestart!
Wat een vreselijke spanning was dat! O, men schreeuwt zich bijkans hees O, wat boeiend, dodelijk vermoeiend is toch steeds zo'n echte Ascot race!
Dames en Heren en alle anderen Weer begint het spel Sneller klopt ons hart. Hoor! Het gaat beginnen! Wie zal winnen dit keer? Kijk! Ze zijn gestart
Do You Know How It Feels To Be Lonesome?
Composer(s): Barry Goldberg - Gram Parsons
Performer(s): The International Submarine Band
Do you know how it feels to be lonesome When there's just no one left that really cares Did you ever try to smile at some people And all they ever seem to do is stare
And you remember how it feels to be cold again When the happiness of love has gone away And you never want to go out on the street again And you only seem to live from day to day
Do you know how it feels to be lonesome When there's just no one left who really cares Did you ever try to smile at some people Yes, and all they ever seem to do is stare Yes, and all they ever seem to do is stare
The Ascot Gavotte (Dutch Version: Ascot Gavotte) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Lane & Friends Performer(s): Roger Rees
Ladies and Gentlemen Ev'ry duke and earl and peer is here Ev'ryone who should be here is here What a smashing, positively dashing Spectacle: the Ascot op'ning day At the gate are all the horses Waiting for the cue to fly away What a gripping, absolutely ripping Moment at the Ascot op'ning day Pulses rushing! Faces flushing! Heartbeats speed up! I have never been so keyed up! And second now They'll begin to run Hark! A bell is ringing They are springing Forward Look! It has begun...! What a frenzied moment that was! Didn't they maintain an exhausting pace? 'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling Running of the Ascot op'ning race
Sancta Maria, ik kom tot U Hier bij het kruis bid ik tot U Vraag ik om raad, hoop in m'n hart Want Gij troost menselijke smart
Doe ik soms kwaad als ik bemin Meer dan het geld is zij me waard Zij maakt m'n lot zo wonderbaar O, ik leef alleen voor haar
Vergeef me m'n ontroering Als zij niet bij me is Vergeef me m'n vervoering Als zij in m'n armen ligt Vergeef Sancta Maria Dit brandend liefdesvuur En maak Sancta Maria Dat het voor altijd duurt
Doe ik soms kwaad als ik bemin Meer dan het goud is zij me waard Zij maakt m'n lot zo wonderbaar O, ik leef alleen voor haar
Vergeef me m'n ontroering Als zij niet bij me is Vergeef me m'n vervoering Als zij in m'n armen ligt Vergeef Sancta Maria Dit brandend liefdesvuur En maak Sancta Maria Dat het voor altijd duurt
Do You Know Any Bob Dylan? Composer(s): Eric Bogle Performer(s): Eric Bogle
At the age of nineteen, I was young, I was keen And I had just one burning ambition To be a folk singer, a dope-smoking swinger Singing songs that were steeped in tradition
So I bought a guitar and I practiced real hard I wasn't much good, but I was willin' Till to my chagrin, my girlfriend came in And she said, "Can you sing any Dylan?"
And I said "No, no a thousand times no! I'd rather see my life blood spillin' I'll sing anything, even God Save the King But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"
And with my guitar I traveled real far Trying to gain recognition I sang "Matty Groves" from St. Paul to Glen Cove In pubs, clubs, and in seamen's missions
I traveled the road for seven long years The pace, it really was killin' And wherever I went from Scotland to Kent They would say, "Can you sing any Dylan?"
And I said "No, no a thousand times no! I'd rather see my life blood spillin' I'll sing anything, even God Save the King But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"
Well I soldiered on but the magic was gone Leaving naught but a deep sense of failure So I thought I would go where all failures go And I took me a ship to Australia
When I landed in Sydney, the sun it shone down On a view that was lovely and thrilling But seeing my case, with a smile on his face Customs said, "Can you sing any Dylan, mate?"
And I said "No, no a thousand times no! I'd rather see my life blood spillin' I'll sing anything, even God Save the King But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"
Well ever since then, again and again They've asked me the same boring question And I usually reply with a glint in my eye And a rather indecent suggestion
But the last straw came one night at a local motel Where I had a young girl who was willin' Put my hand up her dress, and she said "I'll say yes If first you will sing me some Dylan"
And I said "No, no a thousand times no! I'd rather see my life blood spillin' I'll sing anything, even God Save the King But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"
But I tell you my friend, that was the end Of all my traditional aspirations If being a folkie meant giving up nookie There was one way to end my frustrations
So the very next night at another folk club Where the audience around me was millin' I took off my coat and I ruptured my throat And I sang a song just like Bob Dylan
"Fo-o-o-or the ti-i-i-mes they are a-changi-i-i-ing"
And the audience went wild, man, woman and child They clapped 'til their poor hands were bleeding And they said, so to speak, that my style was unique And just what the folk scene was needing
So all you young folkies who play a guitar If you want to achieve a top billin' Just murder good prose and sing through your nose And then you'll sound just like Bob Dylan
Do You Hear The People Sing? ((French Version: À La Volonté Du Peuple (Michel Sardou)) Composer(s): Alain Boublil - James Fenton - Herbert Kretzmer - Claude-Michel Schönberg
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see? Courfeyrac: Then join in the fight That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give So that our banner may advance Some will fall and some will live Will you stand up and take your chance? The blood of the martyrs Will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!
As You Said Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Brown Performer(s): Cream
Let's go down to where it's clean To see what time it might have been The tides have carries of the beach As you said The sun is out of reach Let's go back to where it's clean To see what year it might have been The roads have carried of the smiles As you said To judge them at the trails
So let's go back to now that's bad To see what time we could have had The rails have carried off the trains As you said I'll never come again
As You Like It Composer(s): Vandyke Performer(s): Adam Faith
If you dont like the kooky way I comb my hair for you And you dont like the look of the crazy pants I wear for you OK my darling, Ill change each pitch I only wanna love you As you like it
If you dont like the gang that I go around with On the town And you dont like the records I play Because they bring you down OK my darling, Ill have to quit I only wanna love you As you like it
If youre looking for a saint, dear Betta warn you that you wont get far Im a man thats only human Im gonna change my ways for you And love you as you are
Cause you dont realise That Im gonna make a fight for you Just a look from your eyes And Id set the world alight for you OK my darling, and now the fuse is lit You know Im gonna love you As you like it
If youre looking for a saint, dear Betta warn you that you wont get far Im a man thats only human Im gonna change my ways for you And love you as you are
But you dont realise that Im gonna make a fight for you Just a look from your eyes And Id set the world alight for you OK my darling, when the fuse is lit You know Im gonna love you As you like it As you like it As you like it

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine? Must have been a dream I dont believe where Ive been Come on - let's do it again Do you, you feel like I do? Do you, you feel like I do? My friend got busted just the other day They said dont walk, dont walk, dont walk away He drove into a taxi bent the boot hit the back Had to play some music otherwise hed crack Do you, you feel like I do? Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do? Do you, you feel like I do? Champagne for breakfast and a sherman in my hand Black coat, Black tails, never fails Must have been a dream I dont believe where Ive been Come on - lets do it again Do you, you feel like I do? Do you, you feel like I do?
It's morning And we've slept the night away It happened Now we can't turn back the hands of time Yes we've stolen this moment We've forgot about one simple fact We both belong to someone else As we slept the night away
chorus As we lay We forgot about tomorrow as we lay As we lay Didn't think about the price we had to pay It's morning And now it's time for us to say good-bye (good-bye) (Good-bye, baby) you're leaving me I know you gotta hurry home and face your wife I would never never wanna hurt her (never, baby) She would never ever ever understand You belong to me for just one night As we slept the night away
chorus
We should of captured all of our thoughts But instead we got lost In the second In the minute In the hour (in the hour, baby)
Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Alsof je mij niet kende Het geluk is nu van ons gegaan Ik zie je weer voor me staan Waarom moet dit nu zijn Het leven heeft voor mij geen waarde Je bleef me toch niet trouw Je was mijn schat op aarde Ik hou alleen van jou Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Waarom moet dit nu zijn
Het noodlot heeft ons van elkander gebracht Ik sta nu alleen en haat nu de nacht Jij was voor mij alles, vergeten doe ik niet Daarom zing ik nu voor jou dit lied
Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Alsof je mij niet kende Het geluk is nu van ons gegaan Ik zie je weer voor me staan Waarom moet dit nu zijn Het leven heeft voor mij geen waarde Je bleef me toch niet trouw Je was mijn schat op aarde Ik hou alleen van jou Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Waarom moet dit nu zijn
Eens was je altijd bij mij Nu loop jij me voorbij Waarom moet dit nu zijn...
I can tell by your face That you're looking to find a place To settle your mind And reveal who you are And you shouldn't be shy For I'm not gonna try To hurt you or heal you or steal your star Open your eyes Get up off your chair There's so much to do in the sunlight Give up your secrets Let down your hair And sit with me here by the firelight Why think all about Who's gonna win out We'll make up our story as we go along There's so little time For us to try to rhyme And so many highways to travel upon Open your eyes Get up off your chair There's so much to do in the sunlight Give up your secrets and let down your hair And sit with me here by the firelight
