Taaier Dan De Rest
((Adapted from: Tougher Than The Rest (Bruce Springsteen) - 1987))
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen - Kris De Bruyne
Performer(s): Kris De Bruyne - 1989



Wel, het is zaterdagnacht
'k zag je meteen in die jurk
ik hield je stiekem in het oog
want in elke man schuilt er een schurk

zo, jij liet iemand in de steek
hebt iemands hart grondig verpest
wel, als je liefde wil
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest

meisjes willen de ware Jacob
of soms 'n doodbrave juul in hun armen
en sommigen willen
alleen maar het krapuul

maar, hier leer je al gauw (schat)
te pakken wat je pakken kan
dus als j'er taai genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest

de weg is lang
voor wie weet waarover 't gaat
en ik wil dat je weet dat ik
voor jou iedereen achterlaat

als al je vorige vrijers
waren geflest in de test
en j'er klaar en taai genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest

wel, het is hier geen geheim
ik heb hier elk meisje gehad
wel, ik weet niet schat
hoeveel kerels er jou hebben gehad

geef jezelf een kans
al wat ik wil horen is een ja
als je taaie liefde wil
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
als j'er taai en klaar genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest

ik ben taaier dan de rest
ik ben taaier dan de rest

I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City
Composer(s): Leon René; Johnny Lange
Performer(s): Johnny Mercer
and multiple other artists



 I lost my sugar in Salt Lake City
Oh, why did I go there?
I should have stayed down in New Orleans
And never gone nowhere

A man which we talked from kansas city
His words were sweet like wine
He gave us diamonds & limousines
And stole that gal of mine

When night comes creeping
For me there ain't no sleeping
What she sold, she'll be reaping
For she done me wrong
I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With the Salt Lake City blues

Salt Lake City is renowned for it's beauty
The snowcap sasquatch mountains are nearby
In 1929 the factory output was 43 million dollars
Wholesale trade amounted to
71 million five hundred & ten thousand five hundred & seventy three dollars
Retail trade ninety two million
There's salt beds & farm lands producing
alfalfa, green, sugar beats & vegetables in the vicinity
But as far as I'm concerned
I don't care if I ever set foot there again in Salt Lake City
That town is a nemesis to me

Man I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With those blues
Salt lake City blues

Just A Dream Ago
Performer(s): Rita Moss



Just a dream ago
You were in my arms and loved me so
Ev'ry hour was a paradise
You were mine just a dream ago

Just a kiss ago
We were in love all aglow
Making vows that we'd always be
Side by side through eternity

Now you're gone
And my heart cries for you
Darling, why must our plans
All fall through

Oh-oh-oh, please come back again
And ignite the flame that used to glow
Save the spell of a magic dream
That we lived just a dream ago

Oh-oh-oh-oh, please come back again
And ignite the flame that used to glow
Save the spell of a magic dream
That we lived just a dream ago

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

Jacamo
Performer(s): Donna Fargo



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" ...

Just A Dream
Composer(s): Jimmy Clanton
Performer(s): Jimmy Clanton



Just a dream, just a dream
All our plans and our all schemes
How could I think you'd be mine
The lies I'd tell myself each time

I know that we could never last
We just can't seem to in the past
Just a dream I dream in vain
With you I'd only live in pain

Your picture is always with me
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying
Please leave me alone

Why, why do I love you
How can I live in misery
I know that I won't forget you
But now I know it's too late for me

Tough Little Buggy
Composer(s): Dave Allen
Performer(s): The Newbeats



My little Corvair
My little Corvair

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

I Looked Away
Composer(s): Eric Clapton; Bobby Whitlock
Performer(s): Derek & the Dominos; Michael Nesmith



She took my hand
Tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
I looked away
Then she ran away from me today
I'm such a lone, lonely man

Came as a surprise to me
She left me here in misery
Seems like only yesterday
She made a vow
She'd never go away

She took my hand
Tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
I looked away
Then she ran away from me today
I'm such a lone, lonely man

Seemed to me like such a sin
For me to love another man's woman
But I guess I'll keep on sinnin'
Lovin' you 'til my very last day 

I looked away
Then she ran away from me today
I'm such a lone, lonely man

(Traditional)
Performer(s): Patsy Cline & Loretta Lynn;
and various other artists



I am weak but thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to thee

Just a closer walk to Thee
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Through this world of toils and snares
If I falter Lord, who cares
Who with me my burden shares?
None but thee, my dear Lord, none but thee

Just a closer walk to Thee
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

When the journey here is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me to thy distant shore
To thy shore, O dear Lord, to thy shore

Just a closer walk to Thee
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Touching Home
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
and multiple other artists



(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

No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home

No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home
'Cause today I can feel it touchin' home

"Yes I can, Baby"...

Just A Boy

I am just a boy
Not a mighty man
But your love gives me strength
To do the best that I can

I am just a boy
Unwise and full of fears
But your love brings to me
The wisdom of many years

Though I’m young
I still can understand
Your love someday
Will turn this boy into a man

Though I’m just a boy
On this you can rely
You are just the girl
I will love till I die

Though I’m young

Your love someday
Will turn this boy into a man

Though I’m just a boy
On this you can rely
You are just the girl
I will love till I die

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

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

Jusqu'où Je T'Aime
Performer(s): Yves Duteil



Si jamais tu me demandes
Jusqu'où je t'aime
Et si quand tu seras grande
On s'aimera quand même

S'il fallait que je te dise
Tout mon amour
Même en ouvrant les bras
Ça ne suffirait pas
Moi mon amour pour toi
Je crois bien qu'il va

Jusqu'au bout du monde et de la mer
Et du soleil et jusqu'au bout des étoiles
Au-delà du fond des galaxies
Dans l'infini de l'univers sidéral

Aussi loin que porte le regard de mon cœur
Jusqu'au bout du ciel et jusqu'au fond du bonheur
Je t'aime aussi loin

Moi voilà comment je t'aime
Et c'est pour toujours
Ça s'écrit dans mon cœur même
Jour après jour

Pour en prendre la mesure
Sans se tromper
Il faudrait un cadran
Si beau si gros si grand
Que rien qu'en le posant
Il irait sûrement

Jusqu'au bout du monde et de la mer
Et du soleil et jusqu'au bout des étoiles
Au-delà du fond des galaxies
Dans l'infini de l'univers sidéral

Jusqu'à des frontières dont tu n'as jamais rêvé
Au-delà des heures et jusqu'à l'éternité
Je t'aime aussi loin

Jusqu'au bout du monde et de la mer
Et du soleil et jusqu'au bout des étoiles
Au-delà du fond des galaxies
Dans l'infini de l'univers sidéral

Jusqu'au cœur des glaces et jusqu'au fond du désert
Jusqu'au bout du ciel et dans un autre univers
Je t'aime aussi loin

Si jamais tu me demandes
Jusqu'où je t'aime
Je t'aime aussi loin...

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

Lift up your head and shout
There’s gonna be a great day
Angels in the sky
Promise that by and by
There’s gonna be a great day
Gabriel will warn you
Some early morn you
Will hear his horn rootin’, tootin’
It’s not far away
Hold up your hands and say
There’s gonna be a great day

It’s not far away
Hold up your hands and say
There’s gonna be
We’re promised there’ll be
There’s gonna be a great day

Comme un dragon de feu
Qui transperce les étoiles
Réinsuffle la vie et la déraison
Équilibre les contraires
Les défenses tombent
Nos esprits se confondent
Et installent l'harmonie
D'apprendre à se donner
Le meilleur de nous-mêmes
Et en sortir grandis
En toi, l'eau dans le désert
En moi, le sage et le fou
Vont apprendre à ne plus vivre seuls
Être parfois tenté
D'influencer le destin
Triompher des non-dits, épancher ta peine
Oh, mais enfin les larmes te libèrent
La fuite en avant et les voies aériennes
Ne nous détourneront pas de la chance donnée
Ne lutte pas contre moi, ni contre toi-même
Oh, et si j'ai trébuché pour atteindre ton âme
Tu as su me comprendre et je saurai t'attendreComme un dragon de feu
Qui transperce les étoiles
Réinsuffle la vie et la déraison

Performer(s): Natalie Cole
and multiple other artists



Stand up, stand on your own, that’s what they tell me
You can make it alone, but where does it say I have to move
Far away from you to prove I’m strong
Oh when all it really proves is I’m lonely without you
And loneliness has to be wrong, I live for your love, (everyday), every minute

I live for your love, (in my life), want you in it
I live for your love, I admit it, I live for your love
I wake up with no one to kiss, sometimes I wonder, (wonder, wonder) if I just exist
I know there are people I can see, places I could be, and friends who call
Oh but what good does it do, there’s no substitute for you

I want you or nothing at all, I live for your love, (every day), every minute
I live for your love, (in my life), want you in it, I live for your love, I admit it
I live for your love and your kisses, and know how I’m missing
Your sweet tender touch, (tender touch), I need you so much
That I just can’t go on anymore, what I wouldn’t give for

'Cause darling I live for your love, (Everyday), every minute
I live for your love, (Got one life) want you in it
I live for your love, I hate to admit it, but oh, I live for, I’d die for
What I wouldn’t give for your love, (I live for your love…every day)

I live for your love, (got one life) every day, every minute
(I live for your love), I have only got one life, I want you in it
Oh, my baby, yes, yes, I live for your love, ooh, ooh
