Die Ogen Van Jou ((Adapted from: Devoted To You (The Everly Brothers) - 1958)) Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Hugo Matthysen Performer(s): De Nieuwe Snaar - 1989
't mooiste van je mooie gezicht trof me als een bliksemschicht ja, ik ben er voor gezwicht voor die ogen van jou grootvaders vergeten hun jicht de soldaat verwaarloost zijn plicht als je ze plots op hen richt die ogen van jou ik heb al heel wat ogen gezien sterren en diamanten soms gaf ik zelfs acht of negen op tien maar die van jou scoren 't maximum want in het donker geven ze licht zelfs al knijp ze zedig dicht 'k denk dat ik een fanclub sticht voor die ogen van jou

The Middle Of The Night Is My Cryin' Time Composer(s): Sheb Wooley Performer(s): Dean Martin
When you said goodbye I made up a lie Told ev'ryone that I knew Our love was not real, so I play the field And that I never loved you
I put up a front and walk down the street Forcin' a smile all the time And nobody knows I'm missin' you so It's drivin' me out of my mind
The middle of the night is when I cry The middle of the day is when I lie Tell everyone that I'm doin' fine But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
All of our friends ask where I've been They haven't seen me around I just give a wink and I'm hopin' they'll think I've been out paintin' the town
Sometimes it seems, alone in my dreams I'm holdin' you once again When I awake, it's so hard to take And that's when the teardrops begin
Oh, the middle of the night is my cryin' time The middle of the day is my lyin' time I tell ev'ryone that I'm doin' fine But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
I put up a front and walk down the street Forcin' a smile all the time And nobody knows that I'm missin' you so It's drivin' me out of my mind
The middle of the night is my cryin' time The middle of the day is my lyin' time I tell ev'ryone that I'm doin' fine But the middle of the night is my cryin' time (The middle of the night is his cryin' time) The middle of the night is my cryin' time The middle of the night is my cryin' time The middle...
Recollection Composer(s): Rick Wakeman Performer(s): Rick Wakeman
Memories of a life on earth go flashing past Of home, of Grauben, friends of whom he's seen his last Contemplating what his life's been worth While trapped beneath the earth An embryo at birth Pain and fear destroy the beauty I have seen Of caverns, where no other man has been Silurian epoch hosts me as my grave My final blow I wave A life too late to save Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries
The Midas Touch Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green Performer(s): Bernie West and multiple other artists
Aaaahhhhhhh! First you're hot and then you're cold Then you're shy and then you're bold But I'm always sensitive to you
First you fill my heart with pain Then your kiss is novocaine That's no way sensitive to you
You don't see anything, but it hurts Though you can't see the pain Ooh-oh, how it hurts
Midas touch The mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty Midas Touch The Midas touch The mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty Midas Touch Midas touch The mighty, mighty Midas Touch
Gold in the mornin' Gold in the evenin Gold in the Summer Gold in the Winter Doctor Midas said to me "Be sure you take your vitamin G...o...l...d" And that's what he said to me Yeah!
Gold in all its glory And that's the story of the Midas Touch
Chilling Of The Evening Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Warm me from the wind and take my hand A song is sounding, softly singing My song is cast upon the rainbow waves Forever splashing in the sunlight Prove to me there's a love still left In all of this emptiness around me Take me from the chilling of the evening
Though you know my love that I must go A-following the winds that blow inside me I've nowhere left to run or hide Except if you will come and run beside me And even if you do there'll be a lot for us to do To keep believing Take me from the chilling of the evening
And now my time has come down many streets I'm coming from a night decaying The song that itself sings is all alone I cannot even hear it playing Now to leave before I understand Just what it is I'm leaving Take me from the chilling of the evening
Nobody knows this place of mine the nights sad and long after that time I remember forever from that very first time what keeps us together whats bringing us here I believe in you Ooh I just wanted you the sound of your voice sad searching young man made me sure of my choice every time I hear it again while Pharaoh is watching Im following my guide swallowed by the crowd I try to keep you in sight
Chill Factor Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde Performer(s): The Pretenders
Shes getting older Yeah, shes getting wise But a change has changed the girl Gones the sparkle from her eyes
She wants to be a good mother So shell do the best she can But what about the other What about the man
Well its cold to leave a woman With family on her own Its chill factor To the bone
Resignation In her sighs Is a sorry indication Of how time Can brutalise
Take away the hope And the will will follow Take away the faith And goodbye tomorrow
Well its cold to leave a woman With family on her own Its chill factor To the bone
She had her dreams too But how can she pursue Her ambitions, be they great or small
You took her wings and flew But remember when youre through Your rise was due To somebody elses fall
When the hard parts over And the kids are almost grown Youll be their big hero Whenever you make it home Shower them with presents Things she could never buy Delight them with your stories About the great big, great big world outside But dig
Its cold to leave a woman With family on her own Its chill factor Chill factor To the bone

Intro: Dialogue
Jean: What'll you ever be? What'll you ever do? How will you ever know if you don't take a chance?

Jean: I'm gonna go places and look life in the face
Jean (Singing): When I'm in love I'm reckless Each time in love I'm more reckless I won't go weeping For lost romances I pay my losses And I take new chances
I'm reckless And I don't want advice I'll keep on seeking my own paradise I waste no weeping I just keep hoping For one who's hoping for me
-Chorus girl dance sequence-
Jean: I've made my mind up That I'll wind up I'll take what's coming to me
I've been around It's been, why advertise I have lived And I've loved What is life Without love?
Keep your feet on the ground All my friends have advised If you'll fight, you will fall So I fight, and I fell Every time my heart beats calmly
-Dance Routine-
-Gun Fight-
Chorus Girl: I waste no weeping I just keep hoping For one who's hoping for me
Childsong
Composer(s): Pete Brown - Jack Bruce - Tony Hymas
Performer(s): Jack Bruce
She shakes her head and says That her last word is spoken Tumbling down Something she found Where happiness lay Not far away Hear it now
You got so many ways When the last chains are broken Tumbling down You hear a new sound It's dark into day Not far away Hear it now
When summer leaves The tangles that it weaves are floating in the wind Hard to begin To get back in You stay but it's never in only one piece You got to find release
He runs away and plays his laughter is just awoken Tumbling down The eyes of a clown And truth sings today Not far away Hear it now
Récit De Cassard English Title: Watch What Happens Composer(s): Jean Demy; Michel Legrand Performer(s): Elis Regina; Georges Blanès
Autrefois, j'ai aimé une femme Elle ne m'aimait pas On l'appelait longtemps ... autrefois Ensuite, j'ai voulu oublier Alors, j'ai quitté la France Je suis allé au bout du monde
Je ne pense plus qu'à elle J'ai voulu vous parler franchement
Vous ne m'en voudrez pas Il n'en reste bien sur pas question D'en ... Geneviève Geneviève est libre Geneviève est libre Une fois ...
Sometimes when I'm very good, Dad takes me to the fair I love to see the sideshows, and the crowds of people there "What do you want," my Daddy says, "where would you like to go? How about the monkey house, speak up," but I say No
I want to go on the merry-go-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round And ride upon horses that don't touch the ground On the merry-go-merry-go-round The horses with legs that are perfectly still Yet run just as fast, be it up, or down hill Where there's never a stumble and never a spill On the merry-go-merry-go-round
I have to go to Sunday School, most every other week And sit as quiet as a mouse, and never never speak Who wants to go to heaven, said my teacher one fine day "We do," said the other kids, so I said that's O.K.
I want to go on the merry-go-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round And ride on a horse with his feet off the ground On the merry-go-merry-go-round The horse has a post running right through its back Which I hold with both hands as it runs round the track And I only let go, just to give it a smack On the merry-go-merry-go-round
Mother said to me one day, it seems a trifle sad To think that you're an only child, so I've consulted Dad And he suggests a sister dear, with eyes of deepest blue Thank you Mother dear, I said, if it's all the same to you
I want to go on the merry-go-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round 'Cos I know the best horse that's ever been found On the merry-go-merry-go-round My horse is a racer, and runs very fast No horse overtakes it, they never get past My horse comes in first, and the others all last On the merry-go-merry-go-round

Performer(s): Bee Gees
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating We are searchers of the truth, every man's a boy deep down Gotta say it how you mean it - there ain't no easy way
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born To the very last day when the curtains are drawn We are children of the world - asking every question why From arrival to survival - just to make it worth the waiting We are faces in the night - watching every day go by Changes my life, changes your life - there aint no easy way
In the back of your mind there is always a mark There's a wandering solo alone in the dark You can keep it forever or tear it apart
We are children of the world - watching every day go by Changing my life, changing your life - keeps us all anticipating
We are children of the world - watching every day go by Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn We are children of the world - watching every day go by Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating
We are children of the world - watching every day go by Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating

Children Of The Sun Composer(s): Sally Oldfield Performer(s): The Sallyangie
Sunrise shimmers the city walls with yellow light Sunrise feeling with golden fingers, the edges of the night There's a hush in the air, in his silver hair King Solomon is my father
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun I watch the boats go by as evening colours the sand The rain is bringing tears from my lovers land I watch the silver stars melt in love with the sea I cry to the wind bring back my lover to me Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun
My lover's hands are whiter than the wings of a dove His hair is softest fire that fall in heavenly love His smile is a blue birds cry on a midsummer's morn His kiss is the touch of the sun before the earth's new dawn. Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun
My lover used to bring me stars he found in the sand I would lay the singing skies inside his tiny hand Tonight the moon is dripping on the coloured river we knew O take me where he lies cryin' in the mornin' dew
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun I watch the boats go by as evening colours the sand The rain is bringing tears from my lovers land I watch the silver stars melt in love with the sea I cry to the wind bring back my lover to me Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah's sending children of the sun
