Love Lives Here Composer(s): Ronnie Lane - Ron Wood - Rod Stewart Performer(s): Faces
It's hard to believe that this is the place Where we were so happy all our lives Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain Waitin' for a hammer and a big ball and chain
They can tear it all down and build something new Then only I'll remember what was here Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone How hong will I have to keep returning?
Now I look back, think I've known all the time I've been fightin' myself for so long All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber Disappear on a cart down the road
Ik Zal Je Missen
((Adapted from: Mississippi (by Pussycat) - 1975))
Composer(s): Werner Theunissen - Peter Van Laet
Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 2007
Het water stroomt al jaren naar de zee En het neemt zoveel verhalen met zich mee Maar dat van ons behoeft niet zoveel woorden Alleen een paar akkoorden Vertellen zoveel meer
In gedachten ben je nog altijd bij mij En ik hoor nog al de dingen die je zei Het was toen zoveel mooier dan het heden Ik kan je niet vergeten Je leeft nog diep in mij
Ik zal je missen Ik vergeet je niet Bij wie of waar je ook mag zijn Ik weet het niet en dat doet pijn Want ons verhaal was niet voorbij
Ik zal je missen Ik heb zoveel verdriet Elke dag denk ik aan jou Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou Je komt niet meer terug
Ik speel nog steeds jouw lied Op mijn gitaar Want het afscheid valt me Nog altijd zo zwaar
Dit blijf ik doen Om jou niet te vergeten Hou vast aan het verleden Ik hou nog steeds van jou
Ik zal je missen Ik vergeet je niet Elke dag denk ik aan jou Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou Je komt niet meer terug
Elke dag denk ik aan jou Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou Je komt niet meer terug
Gangland Composer(s): Clive Burr; Steve Harris; Adrian Smith Performer(s): Iron Maiden; Steel Prophet
Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved You pray for daylight to save you for a while You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile
Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- murder's up for sale Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- where jail birds die
Face at the window leers into your own But it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bones How long can you hide? How long till they come? A rat in a trap but you've got to survive
Once you were glad to be free for a while The air tasted good and the world was your friend Then came the day when the hard times began Now your alone but alive for how long?
A knife at your throat another body on the pile A contract to keep and it's service with a smile Murder for vengeance or murder for gain Death on the streets or a blackened out jail
Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- murder's up for sale Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- where jail birds die
Mississippi
((Dutch Version: Ik Zal Je Missen (by Mama's Jasje) - 2007))
Composer(s): Werner Theunissen
First release by: Pussycat - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
Where you can hear a country song from far And someone plays the honky-tonk guitar Where all the lights will go out one by one The people join the sun And the wind takes it away
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea And lovers found the place they'd like to be How many times before the song was ending Love and understanding Everywhere around
Mississippi, I'll remember you Whenever I should go away I'll be longing for the day That I will be returning again Mississippi, you'll be on my mind Everytime I hear this song Mississippi roll along Until the end of time
Now the country song forever lost its soul When the guitar player turned to rock & roll And everytime when summer nights are falling I will always be calling, dreams of yesterday
Mississippi, I'll remember you Whenever I should go ...
Non ti ricordi quei due ragazzini
che in riva al mar andavano ogni sera
tu ed io dalle stelle stranamente vicini
l'avvenire ci rideva che dolce chimera
uho uho uho ma,ma cara bambina, quel dolce visino
non lo vedo più
uho uho uho ma,ma cara bambina
che triste destino saperti laggiù
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
Quante promesse di felicità
tutte sciocchezze della più bella età
e passato con il vento
è finito lo so
Ma io sento che t'amerò per l'eternità
uho uho uho ma, ma cara bambina,quel dolce visino
non lo vedo più
uho uho uho ma, ma cara bambina
che triste destino saperti laggiù
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
There once was a woman with wings Happy with the simple things She had silk suspenders
and high heeled, stocking thighs Helping me in my need She was a friend, indeed She was my baby until the day she died
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues (repeat)
She was a woman who was twice my size She looked into my eyes She said "Only you can blow my blues away" She said "I'll tell you what to do Bring all your friends with you And you can come up and see me any ol' time of day"
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues, ahhh (repeat)
There were twenty-seven guys An unexpected surprise She just kept on rockin' 'til the night was gone She was smilin' through the tears For a hundred and fifty years Just lickin' her lips and helpin' me along
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues
Love Lifted Me Composer(s): Preston Ross - Howard Smith Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
I was sinking deep in sin Far from the peaceful shore Very deeply stained within Sinking to rise no more But the Master of the sea
Heard my despairing cry From the waters lifted me Now safe am I
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me
Souls in danger look above Jesus completely saves He will lift you by his love Out of the angry waves
But the master of the sea Billows His will obey He your saviour wants to be Be saved today
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me

Hit it, Hal
Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville Holding onto a hundred dollar bill Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby Yeah, she looked good, like a lady
Do it to me, James
And the Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime And me, you know, I don't hardly mind
Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting easy Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me
Have a seat and take a load off your feet, and she said ´Yes´ So I said, ´I like your dress' Swamps all around make you feel kind of funny, don't they, honey She crossed her legs and looked at me funny
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing) Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing

Love Lies Bleeding Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
The roses in the window box Have tilted to one side Everything about this house Was born to grow and die
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago To this very day You said I'm sorry honey If I don't change the pace I can't face another day
And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you So I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes Have left a scar on you Like all the burning hoops of fire That you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line I hope you're happy now Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl You'll make it back somehow

Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout If looks could kill, they probably will In games without frontiers, war without tears If looks could kill, they probably will In games without frontiers, war without tears Games without frontiers, war without tears

André has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout If looks could kill they probably will In games without frontiers, war without tears If looks could kill they probably will In games without frontiers, war without tears Games without frontiers, war without tears
Love Letters In The Sand ((Danish Version: Breve I Sandet (Gustav Winckler) - 1957)) Composer(s): Nick Kenny - Charles Kenny - J. Fred Coots First release by: Dolly Dawn - 1931 Covered by multiple other artists
On a day like today We pass the time away Writing love letters in the sand
Oh, you laughed when I cried Each time I saw the tide Take our love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches With every wave that breaks Over love letters in the sand
Mission Bell Composer(s): William Michael; Jesse Hodges Performer(s): Donnie Brooks; Gene Pitney; P.J. Proby
Say you love me Say those three words and I will give my love to you
My love is higher than a mission bell (how deep?) Deeper than a wishing well (how strong?) Stronger than a magic spell My love, for you It's wider than the widest sea (how long?) Longer than a memory (How sweet?) Sweeter than a honey tree My love, uhmmm, for you
Give me your heart of gold Your heavenly magic touch To cherish have and hold I need your love so much
Say you love me Say those three words and I will give my love to you
My love is warmer than a day in spring (how bright?) Brighter than a diamond ring (how great?) Greater than a mighty king My love, for you Is taller than the tallest tree (how soft?) Softer than a summer breeze Oh I ask you please Give your love, your love Sweet love to me
How high (ummm) How deep (ummm) How strong (ummm) How wide (ummm) How long (ummm)

Missing You Italian Title: Mi Manchi Tu Composer(s): Mark Leonard; Charles Sandford; John Waite Originally performed by: John Waite Covered by various other artists
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away And I'm wonderin' why you left And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight You don't know how desperate I've become And it looks like I'm losing this fight In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
Chorus: I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload
(chorus)
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
(chorus)
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you...
