Tougher Than The Rest ((Dutch Version: Taaier Dan De Rest (Kris De Bruyne) - 1989)) Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen First release: Bruce Springsteen - 1987 Covered by multiple other artists
Well It's Saturday night you're all dressed up in blue I been watching you awhile maybe you been watching me too So somebody ran out left somebody's heart in a mess Well if you're looking for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome Dan or some good-lookin' Joe On their arms some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo Well 'round here baby I learned you get what you can get So if you're rough enough for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
The road is dark and it's a thin thin line But I want you to know I'll walk it for you anytime Maybe your other boyfriends couldn't pass the test Well if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
Well it ain't no secret I've been around a time or two Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too Well there's another dance all you gotta do is say yes And if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest If you're rough enough for love baby I'm tougher than the rest
They were famous on the trapeze Everywhere the Circus played He would catch her as she twirled While below a dazzled world Would guess about her fate
She knew he was a jealous lover He thought she loved another man No longer could he hold it in She felt his rage begin She saw too late what he had planned
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go Jacamo, why can't you understand My love and my destiny are in your hands And that's the way it's always been Don't you know, Jacamo"
Panic swept across the moment As it swept across the crowd Her tears glistened in the light As every word she cried Fell unanswered to the ground
Though he wanted to believe her A thousand doubts drove him mad He slowly loosened up his grip Her hands began to slip Borrowed time was all she had
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go Jacamo, why can't you understand My love and my destiny are in your hands And that's the way it's always been Don't you know, Jacamo"
When every second seemed a lifetime When every prayer would not take kind Suddenly his fingers tightened His heart had changed its mind
High above the vast arena When it appeared that she would die He had looked upon her face But instead of feeling hate He saw love in her eyes There was love in her eyes
As she cried "Jacamo, don't let go Jacamo, why can't you understand My love and my destiny are in your hands And that's the way it's always been Ooh-ooh, Jacamo, don't let go Jacamo, why can't you understand My love and my destiny are in your hands And that's the way it's always been Ooo-ooh, Jacamo" ...
I had a little Corvair And it's really tough Four on the floor and that was enough I took my baby ridin' Now we're goin' for green There's no doubt about it It's a goin' machine
It was a tough little buggy A tough little buggy A tough little buggy My little Corvair My little Corvair
I was out ridin' one Saturday night And then I saw a terrible sight My old buddy had a corvair too And who's my baby with but you know who
It was a tough little buggy A tough little buggy A tough little buggy My little Corvair My little Corvair
I told him he'd better move out of my way For I was there first and I was there to stay He ????? down and I did too We both peeled rubber 'til the was blue
It was a tough little buggy A tough little buggy A tough little buggy My little Corvair My little Corvair
Now we're both walkin' And it's plane to see No more girl for him No more car for me The boys went down Oh, wouldn't you know She's got her own wheels And a bless my soul
It's a tough little buggy A tough little buggy A tough little buggy My little Corvair My little Corvair

(Today I can feel it touching home)
Today pain became a real life hurtin' thing And the choir of loneliness sang me a song Now I know just what it means to lose a lifetime dream 'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home

I Look At You Composer(s): Johnny Mathis; Jessie Mae Robinson Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; Ray Ellis Orch.
I look at you and I say to myself "What more could I want if I had you?" But I wouldn't dare to speak it out loud I stand and I stare, my head in a cloud
I look at you and I say to my heart "What chance would I have, why let the fire start?" I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you

Touched By The Sun ((French Version: L'année Du Dragon (Etienne Daho) - 2000)) Composer(s): Carly Simon First release: Carly Simon - 1994
If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you'll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun
Often I want to walk The safe side of the street And lull myself to sleep And dull my pain But deep down inside I know I've got to learn from the greats Earn my right to be living Let my wings of desire Soar over the night I need to let them say "She must have been mad" And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun
I've got to learn from the greats Earn my right to be living With every breath that I take Every heartbeat And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun

Turn The Page Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release: Bob Seger - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
moaning out his one note song
You can think about the woman
or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours
and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding
you just wish the trip was through
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Well you walk into a restaurant
strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear them talk
other times you can
All the same old clichés
Is that a woman or a man?
And you always seem outnumbered
you don't dare make a stand
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page
Out there in the spotlight
you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
like the music that you play
Later in the evening
as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
remembering what she said
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
There I go
Janet: I was feeling done in Couldn't win I'd only ever kissed before
Columbia: You mean she...? Magenta: Uh-huh
Janet: I thought there's no use getting Into heavy petting It only leads to trouble And seat wetting Now all I want to know Is how to go I've tasted blood and I want more
Columbia & Magenta: More, more, more!
Janet: I'll put up no resistance I want to stay the distance I've got an itch to scratch I need assistance Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me I wanna be dirty Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me Creature of the night
Then if anything grows While you pose I'll oil you up And rub you down
Columbia & Magenta: Down, down, down!
Janet: And that's just one small fraction Of the main attraction You need a friendly hand And I need action Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me I wanna be dirty Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me Creature of the night
Columbia: Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me Magenta: I wanna be dirty Columbia: Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me Magenta: Creature of the night
