    Toch Ben Je Oma
    Performer(s): Louis Neefs



    Jij hebt toch nog altijd dat mondaine in je tred
    Jij bent 's morgensvroeg altijd het eerste uit ons bed
    En jij zingt nog steeds hetzelfde lied aan 't ontbijt
    En jij bent die zwieper uit je heupen nog niet kwijt
    Jij draagt nog japonnen met een tikje olala
    Af en toe, dan loopt een vreemde man jou nog 's na
    Kijk, dat zijn toch dingen die belangrijk zijn voor jou
    Nee, jij staat nog lang niet in de kou

    Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
    Zo'n oma waar ik trots op ben
    M'n kloek, m'n goed gebouwde hen
    Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
    Met al een kleinzoon van een jaar
    En opa in de twijfelaar

    Als ik jou zie lopen in bikini, werk'lijk waar
    Denk ik wel 's: 'Ach, misschien is dit het laatste jaar'
    Maar dat denk ik nu al zoveel zomers op een rij
    Door een hapje minder ben j'r ieder jaar weer bij
    Met je strakke rokken en wat duurder ondergoed
    Zit toch alles nog precies zoals het zitten moet
    Kijk, dat zijn toch dingen die belangrijk zijn voor jou
    Nee, jij staat nog lang niet in de kou

    Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
    Zo'n oma waar ik trots op ben
    M'n kloek, m'n goed gebouwde hen
    Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
    Met al een kleinzoon van een jaar
    En opa in de twijfelaar

    Jij hebt toch nog altijd zo dat hippe in je stiel
    Jij laat je nog pakken door de tandarts, voor tien mille
    Hier een kroontje, daar een brug, hij maakt jouw bekkie pas
    Jij vindt alles beter dan jouw tandjes in het glas
    Af en toe wil jij nog wel een keertje op de toer
    Zomaar voor een aardigheidje, nee geen grand amour
    Kijk, dat zijn toch dingen die belangrijk zijn voor jou
    Nee, jij staat nog lang niet in de kou

    Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
    Zo'n oma waar ik trots op ben
    M'n kloek, m'n goed gebouwde hen
    Toch ben je 'n oma, een echte oma
    Met al een kleinzoon van een jaar
    En opa in de twijfelaar

    I Don't Want To Know
    Composer(s): Chris White
    Performer(s): The Zombies



    If you can't find better things to do
    Than tell me stories about her that you think are true
    I don't wanna hear anything about her that's bad
    I don't wanna hear anything that makes me sad
    I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
    I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
    I don't want to know; you'd better turn around and go
    I don't want to know

    I don't wanna listen; I'm not gonna hear you
    I believe what I want, no matter what you do
    I believe what I want, no matter what you do
    I believe what I want, no matter what you do

    I don't care, don't want another word of anything you say
    I don't wanna hear anything; you just keep away
    I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
    I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
    I don't want to know; you'd better turn around and go
    I don't want to know

    Jesse
    Composer(s): Janis Ian
    Performer(s): Roberta Flack;
    and various other artists



    Jesse, come home, there's a hole in the bed
    Where we slept, now it's growing cold
    Jesse, your face and the place where we lay
    By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart
    And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
    No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
    Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home

    Jesse, the stairs and the hall, recalling
    Your step, and I remember too
    All the pictures are shaded and fading in gray
    And I still set a place at the table at noon
    And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
    No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
    Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home

    Jesse, the spread on the bed, it's like
    When you left, I kept it for you
    All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
    And are seemingly new -- Hey Jess, me and you
    Will swallow the light on the stairs
    I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unaware
    Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home

    Tocando Fondo
    Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
    Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



    Tocando fondo
    Tocando fondo nací un buen día
    tocando fondo ando todavía
    Menos hermosos que como fuera
    menos odioso que de otra manera

    Me declaro imperfecto
    pateando la sombrilla
    Prefiero ser abierto
    a pasearme anunciando
    que soy la maravilla

    Me publico completo
    me detesto probable
    Si uno no se desnuda
    se transfigura en reto
    todo lo desnudable

    Tocando fondo, como ir cantando
    es algo hondo, que no anda esperando
    No tocar duro nuestras verdades
    levantando muros, pudre capitales

    Quizás sea inoportuno
    o acaso delirante
    Soy de tantas maneras
    como gente pretenda
    nomás calificarme

    Asumirse los fueros
    es no dictaminarse
    Me publico completo
    me espero mejorable
    desde mi parlamento
    de guitarra sonante

    Tocando fondo nací un buen día
    tocando fondo ando todavía

    Jesse, what have you done wrong?
    You can't sit there feeling sorry for yourself

    I just need someone to be there"

    I know someone that can solve all your pain
    He was there for me and for you he will too

    Nobody ever does
    I'm too frustrated in my life
    I wanna get off and end it with no fuss"

    Jesse (oh Jesse)
    I understand, (take my hand) take my hand (take my hand) (take my hand)
    Take my hand, feel alright

    Oh Jesse, don't you feel that way
    Hear the words I say (hear the words I say)
    Make the world today
    Hold your hands to pray, yeah

    Close your mind, others cries, peoples lies
    I understand, so take my hand, and don't tell lies
    Don't be afraid of plans you've made (don't be afraid)
    Won't you take it what I say, it's not too late

    Don't you feel that way (don't you feel that way)

    Face the world today
    Hold your hands to pray ...

    Versions In Other Languages:
    1964 - Tobacco Road (French Version) (Dick Rivers)

    I was born in a trunk
    My mama died and my daddy got drunk
    And they left me to die or grow
    Up in the middle of Tobacco Road

    I grew up in a rusty shack
    All I owned was a hangin' on my bony back
    Only Lord knows how I loathe
    This place called Tobacco Road

    But it's home
    The only life I ever, ever know
    Yeah, but the Lord knows how I loathe
    Tobacco Road

    Gonna leave it, get me a job

    With the help and the grace of God, no matter
    Save my money, get rich I know
    Bring it back to Tobacco Road

    Bring dynamite and a crane
    I'm gonna blow it up and start all over again
    I'm gonna build a town be proud to show
    Keep the name Tobacco Road

    Oh 'cos it's home
    The only life I ever know
    I despise you 'cos you're so fïlthy
    But I love you 'cos you're home

    I know that it's getting late
    but I don't want to go home
    I am in no hurry baby time can wait
    I don't want to go home
    Listen to the man sing his song
    I don't want to go home
    I don't mind baby to stay all night long
    'cause I don't want to go home

    Listen baby

    I know we had to try
    to reach up and touch the sky baby
    what ever happened to you and I
    that I don't want to go home

    Look at all the people staying
    Saying I don't want to go home
    In the night .....
    I don't want to go home
    I know the words to the song I feel
    I don't want to go home
    I know it's talking about the way I feel
    I don't want to go home

    Listen baby

    I know we had to try
    to reach up and touch the sky baby
    what ever happened to you and I
    that I don't want to go home

    I want to hear people laughing and having a good time
    I want to know why she told me she had to go
    Why did she leave me lonely

    I know it's time to go
    but I don't want to go home
    You don't play the blues soft and low
    'cause I don't want to go home

    Listen baby

    I know we had to try
    to reach up and touch the sky baby
    what ever happened to you and I
    that I don't want to go home

    Oh Mama say a prayer for me
    Jesse's back in town, it won't be easy
    Don't let him near me, don't let him touch me
    Don't let him seize me

    Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
    No Jesse, and I won't make the wine cold for you
    No Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you
    I won't put on cologne, I won't sit by the phone for you

    Annie, keep reminding me that he cut out my heart
    Like a paper doll
    Sally, tell me once again how he set me up
    Just to see me fall

    Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
    No Jesse, I won't make the wine cold for you
    No Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you
    I won't put on cologne, I won't sit by the phone for you
    No, no, no

    Jesse, quick come here, I won't tell a soul
    (Not even myself)
    Jesse, that you've come back to me, my friends will all say
    (She's gone again)
    How can anyone know what you are to me
    That I'm in heaven again
    Because you've come back to me
    Ooooh, Jesse

    Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
    And Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
    Oh Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
    And put on cologne and sit by the phone for you
    Oh yeah

    Jesse, lets open the wine
    And drink to the heart
    Which has a will of it's own
    My friends (My friends)
    It's tough for them
    They're feeling bad
    They think I've sunk so low

    Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
    And Jesse, I will make the wine cold for you
    Oh Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
    And put on cologne and I will wait by the phone for you

    Toad In The Hole
    Performer(s): Ian Anderson



    I walk along the strand
    to catch the late ride home
    Shuttle through the evening gloom
    knowing I forgot to phone
    The back door's open
    There's a chill blowing in
    Take your warm hands off me
    Let the night begin
    Shush your mouth
    Listen to me
    I won't say nothing
    Just let me be your
    Toad in the Hole
    Kicking through the wet leaves lying
    all along the station road
    Past tired graffitti wailing
    raw emotion to unload
    There's coal in the fireplace
    and money in the bank too
    Deep-pile carpets, tinsel wallpaper
    Still got the back room to do
    Don't be late
    Got a day's work behind me
    Feel a little devastated
    but my nights are assigned to you
    No tom-cat creeping, now
    could ever be so bold
    to hang around our place tonight
    when I come in from the cold
    There's a straight-six in the garage
    and some fine wine to cool
    Labour-savers in the kitchen
    room in the garden for a pool
    Shush your mouth
    Let imagination run
    here in bed-sit heaven
    where all the best wishing's done
    to warm Toad in the Hole

    Move on over closer to me baby
    For I can see that wantin’ in your eyes
    Oh, I think it’s only fair that I should warn you
    That you probably only stay for just a while

    Oh, we’ll just let our bodies do the talking
    ‘ Cause words can only get in the way
    Oh, I’ll take you home and love you like you never been
    But I don’t wanna fall in love again

    I’ve been watching you girl from the corner
    And you looked as lonesome as I ever been
    Now, nothing could be wrong if you just come along with me
    And wake up in the morning, as friends

    I don’t wanna hurt you, ‘cause I know girl
    What promises of love can do to you
    Oh, but I’ll take you home and love you like you never been
    But I don’t want to fall in love again

    For love I might not need
    Let me feel your poor lips touching me
    We’ll just let our bodies do the talking
    ‘Cause words can only get in the way

    Oh, I’ll take you home and love you like you never been
    But I don’t want to fall in love
    And I ain’t gonna fall in love
    I don’t want to fall in love again

    Jerusalén Año Cero
    Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
    Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



    De mano en mano se pasa la verdad
    y en cada mano olvidará
    algo de cierto y también se llevará
    de cada mano el parecer
    Si camináramos calendario atrás
    todo estaría al revés

    Algunos dicen que es falso
    y otros repiten que es cierto
    que entró en Jerusalén siendo de día
    se dice que su túnica era blanca
    que iba posada en sus ojos
    un ave del mediodía

    Aquel fue tiempo de tumbas
    aquel fue tiempo de flautas
    de mercaderes, de Legión Romana
    Se dice que la chusma lo seguía
    que en su palabra sencilla
    se lavaba la mañana

    El Rey de los judíos
    el hijo de los hombres
    El Cristo, El Nazareno
    lo llamaban

    Jerusalén año cero y se cambió
    la suerte con lo que pasó
    Jerusalén, año cero y Nazaret
    y el caserío de Belén
    Jerusalén año cero fue el lugar
    donde ocurrió, o donde no

    Fue enemigo del Imperio
    y amigo de la palabra
    decía que todo era para todos
    se dice que enseñaba a los pastores
    a compartir las ovejas
    y a cuidarse de los lobos

    Tanta enseñanza hizo ruido
    en el poder de los templos
    y en la madera lo clavaron recio
    Se dijo que por mago o hechicero
    pero si la historia es cierta
    fue porque hiciera silencio

    El Rey de los judíos
    el hijo de los hombres
    El Cristo, El Nazareno
    lo llamaban

    I know an angel on the east side of Heaven
    Who lives in a first storey room
    We meet on a rooftop and dream in the dark
    When the lights of New York are in bloom

    All through the daytime it's the same old Manhattan
    But evening again sets me free
    Then I turn off Broadway to the east side of heaven
    Where an angel waits for me

    All through the daytime it's the same old Manhattan
    But evening again sets me free
    Then I turn off Broadway to the east side of Heaven

    For God to make me strong till ya get back home
    No, no, no, no I don't wanna do it
    But my heart keeps tellin' me to
    I know I tried with all of my might
    Ah ha I think I've lost this fight
    (I don't wanna do wrong) I don't wanna do wrong
    (But it's been so long) it's been so long
    (I just can't help myself)
    I just can't (no, no, no)
    Oh yeah, No I don't wanna
    No I didn't wanna do it ooh, ooh, oh

    But then again my dear
    Time passed and I didn't hear
    A comforting word from you to make me see
    That you were still in love with me
    So if by chance you've found ya' another girl
    Love her and I wish ya' all the happiness in the world
    'Cause I've found a new love and I can't break loose
    I hope I can find happiness too
    (I don't wanna do wrong)
    I don't wanna do wrong
    (But it's been so long) baby, baby, baby
    (I just can't help myself) I just can't (no, no, no)
    I just can't (I don't wanna do wrong)
    Don't wanna do wrong no
    (But it's been so long)
    Baby, baby, baby (I just can't help myself)
    I just can't (no, no, no)

    Jerusalem Tomorrow
    Composer(s): David Olney
    Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; Paul K. & The Weathermen;
    James King; David Olney



    Man you should have seen me way back then
    I could tell a tale, I could make a spin
    I could tell you black was white I could tell you day was night
    Not only that I could tell you why
    Back then I could really tel a lie

    Well I'd hire a kid to say he was lame
    Then I'd touch him and make him walk again
    Then I'd pull some magic trick I'd pretend to heal the sick
    I was takin' everything they had to give
    It wasn't all that bad a way to live

    Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
    But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
    I make my lame kid walk I make a dumb guy talk
    I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
    But everyone just turns and walks away

    Well I can see that I'm only wasting time
    So I head across the road to drink some wine
    This old man comes up to me He says I seen you on the street
    You're pretty good if I do say myself
    But the guy that come thru here last month he was somethin' else

    Instead of callin' out for fire from above
    He just gets real quiet and talks about love
    And I'll tell you somethin' funny He didn't want nobody's money
    Now I'm not exactly sure what this all means
    But it's the damndest thing I swear I've ever seen

    Well since that time every town is the same
    I can't make a dime, I don't know why I came
    I decide I'll go and find him And find out who's behind him
    He has everyone convinced that he's for real
    Well I figure we can work us out a deal

    So he offers me a job and I say fine
    He says I'll get paid off on down the line
    Well I guess I'll string along Don't see how too much can go wrong
    As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
    We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow

    To You My Love
    Composer(s): Allan Clarke - Tony Hicks - Graham Nash
    Performer(s): The Hollies



    Since you took my heart
    I can give you everything
    So I'll give my everything to you, my love
    I will send my all to you
    As we're far apart

    And I'll send my whole life, too, to you, my love

    Long to be near you and hold you and kiss you, my sweet
    When I am with you, I know that my life is complete

    Coming back to give my love
    Now I'm coming home

    To the one I'm dreaming of, to you, my love
    Long to be near you and hold you and kiss you, my sweet
    When I am with you, I know that my life is complete
    Now I'm coming home

    Coming back to give my love
    To you, my love
    to the one I'm dreaming of, to you, my love
    To yo-ou, my love

    Jerusalem
    Composer(s): Hubert Parry; William Blake
    (Traditional)



    And did those feet in ancient time
    Walk upon England's mountains green?
    And was the holy Lamb of God
    On England's pleasant pastures seen?

    And did the Countenance Divine
    Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
    And was Jerusalem builded here
    Among these dark Satanic mills?

    Bring me my bow of burning gold
    Bring me my arrows of desire
    Bring me my spear
    O clouds unfold!
    Bring me my chariot of fire!

    I will not cease from mental fight
    Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
    Till we have built Jerusalem
    In England's green and pleasant land

    East Orange, New Jersey
    Performer(s): Bob Dylan



    First time I ever worked in East Orange, New Jersey
    Folks, never go to East Orange, New Jersey
    It's a horrible town
    I one had to play in a coffeehouse out there
    It was so bad -- uh -- so bad
    People playing chess out there -- uh --
    It's all they thought about
    Was chess 'n' chess 'n' chess
    People come up to me
    You play a song, you play a real quiet song'
    In the middle of the song ya hear "check"
    And "Hey, that was a good move"
    And all kinds of stuff like that
    Yes, folks, it was so bad I had a little dream out there
    The first night I worked
    About this chess playing stuff
    I dreamed I went to work out in East Orange, New Jersey
    And -- uh -- about the time I quit in two days
    I went there to ask the guy for my money
    "I worked two days for you"
    He says, "Uh, well, o.k., we don't pay money around here, though"
    I says, "Uh, yeah?" He says, "Uh, well"
    He says, "Uh, we pay chessmen"
    I said, "Uh, well, gimme my chessmen then
    I worked for two days"

    I was sort of -- didn't really figure --
    I thought he was lying at first
    But I took it anyway
    He gave me a king and a queen for working two days
    I says, "Uh, fine, that's o.k."
    So I took my king and queen, went down to a bar, the nearest bar I could find
    I walked in the bar and ordered a pint
    Down the bar, the bartender
    I says, "Can I have a pint?"
    I'll be damned, he give me a pint
    He asks me for the money
    I gave him my king and queen
    I'll be damned, he took that king and queen
    Threw it under the counter
    And brought me out four pawns, two bishops, and a rook for change

    Little story about East Orange, New Jersey

    I Don't Want To
    Composer(s): Janice Torre; Fred Spielman
    First release by: Elvis Presley - 1962



    I don't want to, I don't want to
    I don't want to let you know how much I want you
    Don't come near me, I don't trust you
    I don't trust the way you thrill me when I touch you

    I was happy free and easy, I could go around
    And do the things that please me
    I don't want to get tied down with a girl like you
    I don't want to ... love you, but I do

    I was happy free and easy, I could go around
    And do the things that please me
    I don't want to get tied down with a girl like you
    I don't want to ... love you, but I do
    I don't want to love you, but I do
