Bei Dir War Es Immer So Schön Composer(s): Hans Fritz Beckmann; Theo Mackeben Performer(s): Hildegard Knef and various other artists
Bei dir war es immer so schön Und es fällt mir unsagbar schwer, zu gehn Denn nur bei dir war ich wirklich zuhaus Doch der Traum, den ich hier geträumt, ist aus
Warum hast du mir denn so weh getan Und was fang ich ohne dich an Bei dir war es immer so schön Doch weil du eine andre liebst, muss ich gehn
Nun muss alles, alles enden Weil ich dich nun doch verlor Und dass meine kleine Welt Wie ein Kartenhaus zerfällt, schmerzt mich sehr
Ich steh da mit leeren Händen Und bin arm wie nie zuvor Denn mein Reichtum warst nur du Und nun frag ich mich, wozu kam ich her
Bei dir war es immer so schön Und es fällt mir unsagbar schwer, zu gehn Denn nur bei dir war ich wirklich zuhaus Doch der Traum, den ich hier geträumt, ist aus
Warum hast du mir denn so weh getan Und was fang ich ohne dich an? Bei dir war es immer so schön Doch weil du eine andre liebst, muss ich gehn

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - À La Même Heure (by Sheila) 1966 - Non Ridere Di Me (by I Ragazzi Del Sole)
Why can't I, be like any guy? Why do they try to make me run? Son of a gun, now
What do they care, about the clothes I wear? Why get their kicks from making fun, yeah
This world's got a lot of space and if they don't like my face It ain't me that's going anywhere, no
so I don't care Let 'em laugh at me If that's the fare I have to pay to be free then baby Laugh at me, and I'll cry for you and I'll pray for you and I'll do all the things that the man upstairs says to do I'll do 'em for you I'll do 'em I'll do 'em all for you
I'll make sure that she's mine And maybe the next guy that don't wear a silk tie he can walk by and say "Hi" say, "Hi" instead of why instead of why instead of why babe instead of why what did I do to you I don't know what to do
Behind Those Swinging Doors Composer(s): Fleming Allan) Performer(s): Spike Jones
T'was Saturday night in an old mining town Jake's bar room was merry and gay While far from the laughter a mother did wait For Pop to come home with his pay "What's keeping dear Father, why doesn't he come?" The daughter exclaimed through her tears The Mother replied, "I'm sadly afraid Your Father has stopped for some beers"
Oh .Oh! The doors swing in, the doors swing out Where some pass in, and others pass out Your Father, I fear, has his nose in the beer Behind those swinging door-or-ors (Hic) Behind those swinging doors
"Oh I shall go fetch him" the daughter declared "He shan't bring disgrace to our name" Then straight-way she ran to the corner saloon To save her poor Father from shame "Dear Father, Dear Father come home with me now The clock in the steeple strikes two" (Ding, Ding, Ding) "Dear Mother is waiting, the rent must be paid Don't spend all your money for brew"
Oh .Oh! The doors swing in, the doors swing out Where some pass in, and others pass out Through the smoke and the haze There stood Pop in a daze Behind those swinging door-or-ors (Hic) Behind those swinging doors
Each Saturday night at the corner saloon The miners come in with their gold And Father blows in all his wages for gin And Nellie blows home in the cold "Dear Mother", she wailed, "My mission I've failed My Father will ne'er mend his ways" The Mother explained "We'll suffer the shame It's always the woman who pays"
Oh .Oh! The doors swing in, the doors swing out Where some pass in, and others pass out This story is told of a fool and his gold Behind those swinging door-or-ors (Hic Burp) Behind those swinging doors

Quand tu es parti Tous deux, on s'est promis De penser l'un à l'autre À la même heure
Et comme tous les soirs Ensemble, on va pouvoir Enfin, s'aimer de loin À la même heure
Oui! Je pense à toi Ne te tourmente pas Puisque tu resteras seul Dans mon coeur
Je te dis mes peines Je te dis mes joies Tu sais que je t'aime Qu'il n'y a que toi Oui, rien que toi!
Avant de m'endormir Le soir, je prie pour toi Et si je le fais C'est que je sais Qu'il est écrit Que ma vie doit se faire avec toi Et tu peux être sûr Que jamais, jamais, je ne l'oublierai!
Et nous nous marierons Nous aurons des enfants Il n'y a pas de raison Qu'il en soit autrement Puisque nous nous aimons Et que c'est pour la vie Mais oui! Oui, je pense à toi! Je pense à toi! Je pense à toi! Je pense à toi! Je pense à toi mon amour! ...
Behind The Lines Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Phil Collins
I held the book so tightly in my hands I saw your picture, heard you call my name It was strange I could not look away I had to be there, I wanted to go
You gave me no reason you gave me no warning But I was with you, by your side Give me the strength, so I can help you And I can be strong now, they don't frighten me
It's written in the book
The sun is hotter than before But inside it's cold, I wonder why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Well I believe we can make it right
It's time now to show our feelings Looking through you your heart's empty Whatever happened to you, you can't change it Nowhere to run to, please, oh please don't let me down
But wait a minute I don't understand it's getting stronger, hold my hand Don't want to leave you I don't want to go But I'm a' losing all control Can't you see me I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here Oh Lord
It's written in the book
I held the book so tightly in my hands Saw your picture, heard you call my name Oh, and even though we never, never touched I keep waiting for you just the same
La la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la..
Laugh And Walk Away Composer(s): Art LaMonica - Robert Racioppo Performer(s): Shirts
I haven't found the formula to measure my distress The tick-tock of my heart-clock tells my mind I'm so depressed I searched behind the mirrors and I broke down all the walls Is it something rare or new or is it something old? Is it something old? My job it takes me everywhere but I ain't seen a thing At eighty miles an hour rolling hills all seem the same I've searched the mountains and the streams but I can't find a clue Is it something old or worn or is it something new? I go where I go (I go where I go) I go where I go, I don't know Such a silent world and an empty road Behind that world is a pot of gold... I woke up from a deep deep sleep and out the door I went I didn't bother to turn back, my feet were sore and red I searched behind the mirrors and I broke down all the walls Is it something revenue or is it something new? I go where I go (I go where I go) I go where I go, I don't know Such a silent world and an empty road I go where I go (I go where I go) I go where I go, I don't know Such a silent world and an empty road Behind that world is a pot of gold... I'm sick of greedy people who just want a piece of me They're all so clever and so bright and modern to the T You smell them from a mile away but I don't really care When it comes down to the facts I laugh and walk away (laugh and walk away)
Behind Closed Doors Danish Title: Bag En Lukket Dør Composer(s): Kenny O'Dell Originally performed by: Charlie Rich Covered by various other artists
My baby makes me proud, Lord don't she make me proud She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd 'Cause people like to talk, Lord, how they love to talk But when they turn out the lights, I know she'll be leaving with me
And when we get behind closed doors Then she lets her hair hang down And she makes me glad I'm a man Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors My, behind closed doors
My baby makes me smile, Lord don't she make me smile She's never too far away or too tired to say "I want you" She's always a lady, just like a lady should be But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me
And when we get behind closed doors Then she lets her hair hang down And she makes me glad I'm a man Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors My, behind closed doors
Laugh And Be Happy Composer(s): Lee Penny Performer(s): "Sheriff" John Rovick
Come on now Laugh and be happy and the world will laugh with you When people see you smiling they can't help smiling too When you look out the window to a dark and gloomy day Break out a smile and in a while the gloom will go away So laugh and be happy with a merry melody A song will make a hat rack look like a Christmas tree Get rid of worry in a hurry, chase the blues away Just laugh and be happy all the live.... long..... day..
L'attente Composer(s): Françoise Hardy - G. Kawcsyski Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Lui, il voudrait croire qu'il est libre il ferme la porte et s'en va sans me dire s'il reviendra et voilà moi, je vais faire un tour en ville je rentre dans un cinéma et après je ne sais pas ça dépend des fois quelquefois je me promène j'attends, je traîne ou je retourne chez moi lui, il croit qu'aimer une fille c'est parfois comme être en prison et pour mieux voir l'horizon il s'en va moi, je n'me sens pas très utile en face de la télévision toute seule à la maison je ne tourne pas rond quelquefois je change les draps j'appelle untel et lui dis viens chez moi
This is a song without a verse and just to make matters worse
After I composed this melody, not a single rhyme would come to me That is why I have to call it The Beguine Without A Name I wrote Senorita, youre divine Beautiful woo cha cha, please be mine But I couldnt find another line For the beguine without a name
Then I wrote about a honeymoon Even thought of spoon and croon and June Had so many ifs and ands and buts I got up and yelled Im going nuts! There is just another line or two And beguine without a name is through All you have to sing is toodle-oo And end it I love you
Once I said that gay fiesta time And Brazilian moonlight is sublime But I couldnt find another line For the beguine without a name Then I thought fiesta in Brazil Sounded good with palm trees on a hill But I had another line to fill For the beguine without a name
So it makes no difference how you speak English, French, Brazilian, Dutch or Greek All you have to sing is toodle-oo And end it I love you
This was a song without a verse but now weve made the matter worse
Le Cadavre Exquis Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Si l'on jouait au jeu du cadavre exquis Histoire d'nous passer un peu notre ennui Tu écris un mot n'importe quoi Et moi j'en inscris un autre après toi La petite mouche à merde A mis des bouchées doubles Y a des coups d'pied qui s'perdent Dans les roubles Oui c'est ça le jeu du cadavre exquis Nous allons y jouer toute la nuit Emmanuelle aime les caresses Buccales et manuelles Remue un peu tes fesses Me dit-elle Moi j'préfère jouer au jeu du cadavre exquis Que de l'enfiler toute la nuit L'humour noir vient d'Afrique Exemple Amin DiDi Je bande magnétique Pour lui Si l'on jouait au jeu du cadavre exquis Histoire d'nous passer un peu notre ennui
L'Atlantique Composer(s): Michel Sardou - Pierre Delanoë - Jacques Revaux - Roger Loubet Performer(s): Michel Sardou
Il est midi à Paris et toi tu dors encore À Cold Canyon Water L.A. Il est midi à L.A. et toi tu entres en scène Sur les bords de la Seine Paris
Nous vivons des deux côtés d'un monde À dix heures d'écart entre hier et demain 2 degrés 20 minutes et 14 secondes C'est l'histoire du premier méridien
Il est midi à Paris et pour toi c'est l'aurore Là-haut à Berverly L.A. Je t'imagine endormi et si tu l'aimes encore Est-ce que tu m'aimes un peu aussi
Il fait noir boul'vard du crépuscule Il y a des orages même au paradis Mais si l'on décidait d'accorder nos pendules D'aller du zéro à l'infini
L'Atlantique au milieu Et chacun sur sa rive L'Atlantique au milieu Un coup d'aile et j'arrive
Les oiseaux de l'Occident Nous verrons passer au jour levant Dans une machine Qui court plus vite que le vent Attends avant de te réveiller attends Que je t'embrasse Que je te dise bonjour Avant de faire la traversée Juste pour passer Par dessus le temps Et pour effacer les océans
L'Atlantique au milieu De nos lointains rivages L'Atlantique au milieu De nous deux c'est dommage
Il est midi à Paris et mon avion taxi Vient juste de quitter le sol Il fait soleil à L.A. prends pas ton parapluie Je t'attends sous mon parasol Il est midi à Paris et nous on dort encore À Cold Canyon Water L.A. Autour de nous c'est la nuit mais si tu m'aimes aussi Je me fous bien de l'heure qu'il est Il est midi à Paris et nous on dort encore À Cold Canyon Water L.A. Autour de nous c'est la nuit mais si tu m'aimes aussi Je me fous bien de l'heure qu'il est ...
Beginnings Composer(s): Robert Lamm Originally performed by: Chicago
When I'm with you
it doesn't matter where we are, or what we're doing I'm with you, that's all that matters Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing I wish I could sing it to you, oh no, I wish I could sing it to you Mostly I'm silent Never think of the right words to say
When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings The color of chills all over my body And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one I should try to put into words, oh no, try to put into words Mostly I'm silent Silent
Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever Only the beginning, only just the start I've got to get you into my life mama, got to get you next to me Only the beginning, only just the start Only the beginning, only the beginning, only the beginning, only the beginning

Well Im beginning to see the light Well Im beginning to see the light Some people work very hard But still they never get it right Well Im beginning to see the light Well Im beginning to see the light Now Im beginning to see the light
Wine in the morning And some breakfast at night Well Im beginning to see the light Here we go again Playing the fool again Here we go again Acting hard again Well Im beginning to see the light Well Im beginning to see the light Now Im beginning to see the light

Lather Composer(s): Grace Slick Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane and multiple other artists
Lather was thirty years old today They took away all of his toys His mother sent newspaper clippings to him About his old friends who'd stopped being boys There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty-three His leather chair waits at the bank And Seargent Dow Jones, twenty-seven years old Commanding his very own tank But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do To lie about nude in the sand Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps And thrashing the air with his hands
But wait, oh Lather's productive you know He produces the finest of sound Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose Snorting the best licks in town But that's all over...
Lather was thirty years old today And Lather came foam from his tongue He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said Is it true that I'm no longer young? And the children call him famous And the old men call him insane And sometimes he's so nameless That he hardly knows which game to play... Which words to say... And I should have told him, "No, you're not old" And I should have let him go on...smiling...babywide
Beginner's Luck Composer(s): Jim Shaw Performer(s): Susan Raye
It must have been beginner's luck with me
I found myself a horseshoe And I hung it on the door I found myself a four leaf clover And I looked around for more
I bought up every lucky charm They carried in the store I was desperate as a Girl in love can be
When walking on a sidewalk I never stepped on cracks I avoided every kitty cat That looked like it was black
I collected lucky pennies And piled up quite a stack And sure enough, He fell in love with me
Beginner's luck, it really had to be The first time I fell in love And he fell in love with me It happens in the story books And I've seen it on TV But it must have been Beginner's luck with me
I found a turkey wishbone And I broke it right in two I had a gypsy fortune teller Tell me all she knew
Tossed pennies in a wishing well To make my dream come true I was desperate as a Girl in love can be
I found myself a rabbit's foot And carried it around I knocked, and knocked, and knocked On every piece of wood I found
When I saw a ladder I was sure to walk around And just like that He fell in love with me
Beginner's luck, it really had to be The first time I fell in love And he fell in love with me It happens in the story books And I've seen it on TV But it must have been Beginner's luck with me
Late November Composer(s): David Surkamp - Pavlov's Dog - Steve Scorfina Performer(s): Pavlov's Dog; Steve Scorfina
Oh, she wants, she wants it badly And I, I can't believe all she said Because she's cool, yeah she's cool She's just like lightening Take her home, keep her warm in late November
I can't say why she's so strange now Why did I always believe all she said She's came down, held me close Came down from night skies Take her home, keep her warm in late November
She just goes to show you never know What's in your heart, what's in your soul She just goes to show you never know What's in your heart, what's in your soul
She's home now, but far away she flies But she don't know how she came Or how she leaves 'Cause she's cool, yeah she's cool She's just like lightening Take her home, keep her warm in late November
She just goes to show you never know What's in your heart, what's in your soul (Repeat to end)
