    Tulips From Amsterdam
    Performer(s): Max Bygraves



    When it's Spring again I'll bring again
    Tulips from Amsterdam
    With a heart thats true I'll give to you
    Tulips from Amsterdam
    I can't wait until the day you fill
    These eager arms of mine
    Like the windmill keeps on turning
    That's how my heart keeps on yearning
    For the day I know we can share these
    Tulips from Amsterdam

    When it's Spring again I'll bring again
    Tulips from Amsterdam
    With a heart thats true I'll give to you
    Tulips from Amsterdam
    I can't wait until the day you fill
    These eager arms of mine
    Like the windmill keeps on turning
    That's how my heart keeps on yearning
    For the day I know we can share these
    Tulips from Amsterdam

    Share these tulips from Amsterdam

    Please Mr. Brown
    Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Don Raye
    Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan



    Please Mr. Brown
    Take it easy you’re spoiling my gown
    Oh I know music brings out that yearning
    But right now you’re learning to tango

    Please Mr. Jones
    Not so tight you are crushing my bones
    I’ll just bet you’re an expert on wooing
    But right now we’re doing a tango

    You boys, in spite of all the dancing lessons you bought
    Out on the dance floor, have but one school of thought
    And that is anything but what my dancing teacher taught

    Please Mr. Smith
    It’s a lady that you’re dancing with
    There’s a time and a place for romancing
    But not while we’re dancing the tango

    Now you guys are just a bunch of wolves in ivy league clothes
    Think as long as music’s playing anything goes
    No one who wants a fellow wants a slow one
    But I’m a gal who wants to know one
    Who knows what every lady knows

    Please Mr. Smith
    It’s a lady that you’re dancing with
    There’s a time and a place for romancing
    But not while we’re dancing
    The tango

    Kyrie
    Composer(s): Steve George; Lang; Page
    Performer(s): Mr. Mister



    The wind blows hard against this mountainside
    Across the sea into my soul
    It reaches in to where I cannot hide
    Setting my feet upon the road
    My heart is old it holds my memories
    My body burns a gemlike flame
    Somewhere between the soul & soft machine
    Is where I find myself again

    Kyrie Eleison
    Down the road that I must travel
    Kyrie Eleison
    Through the darkness of the night
    Kyrie Eleison
    Where I'm going will you follow
    Kyrie Eleison
    On a highway in the light

    When I was young I thought of growing old
    Of what my life would mean to me
    Would I have followed down my chosen road
    Or only wished what I could be

    Tulips And Heather
    Composer(s): Milton Carson
    Performer(s): Perry Como
    and multiple other artists



    The spray of tulips and heather tied up together
    I sent my love today
    A spray of tulips and heather, asking her whether
    Love’s dream had gone astray
    For there’s a meaning to all the flowers
    They tell the story that never lies
    This purple heather means lonely hours
    And tulips weep for a love that dies
    And so I pray when they reach you
    If they can teach you all that is in my heart
    My spray of tulips and heather bring us together
    Never again to part

    (For there’s a meaning)
    My tulips and heather
    (To all the flowers)
    Are tied up together
    (They tell you a story)
    They tell you a tale
    That never lies
    (This purple heather)
    This beautiful heather
    (Means lonely hours)
    Means lonely forever
    (And tulips weep for)
    These tulips convey
    A love that dies

    And so I pray when they reach you
    If they can teach you all that is in my heart
    My spray of tulips and heather bring us together
    Never again to part
    My darling, never again to part

    I Was Wrong
    Composer(s): Graham Parker
    Performer(s): Graham Parker



    I dreamed I was someone special In another life
    They gave me my fifteen minutes Then they pulled the knife

    It was just another deal It was just another reel
    On a tape that keeps on turning In the dark in another world

    I thought I was right I was wrong
    I thought I had something I was wrong
    I must have been dreaming All along
    I was wrong I was wrong

    I had been replaced By a man who had no face
    And who could not be traced To an address Just a better place

    Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh
    Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh
    Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh

    I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong

    If you see my darlin' with somebody new Keep it a secret whatever you do Why should you tell me and break my poor heart Then foolish pride would just drive us apart If you see my darlin' in some rendezvous Painting the town with a boy she once knew Pay no attention and just let it be But keep it a secret from me If you see my darlin' in some rendezvous Painting the town with a boy she once knew Pay no attention and just let it be But keep it a secret from me

    Tulip Time In Sing Sing
    Composer(s): Jerome Kern - P.G. Wodehouse
    Performer(s): Merwin Goldsmith



    Up the river there's a college
    Which authorities acknowledge
    Is a cosy sort of place to go and dwell
    And with joy each student chortles
    As he passes through its portals
    And the faculty conducts him to his cell

    How I wish that there I'd waited
    Wish I'd never graduated
    For the memory of those days still stirs me so
    And the birdies every Spring sing
    "Aren't you coming back to Sing Sing
    Where you used to be so happy long ago"

    When it's tulip time in Sing Sing
    Oh, it's there that I would be
    There are gentle hearts in Sing Sing
    Watching and yearning for me
    Oh, I wish that I was back
    With a rock or two to crack
    With my pals of the class of ninety-nine
    And I miss the peace and quiet
    And the simple, wholesome diet
    Of that dear, old-fashioned prison of mine!

    Oh, I'd give a lot to go there
    Life was never dull or slow there
    Every night there was a concert or a hop
    Or I'd sit discussing Coué
    With my old pal Bat-eared Louie,
    Quite the nicest man who ever slugged a cop

    We were just a band of brothers
    Each as good as all the others
    As the humblest sort of sneak thief you might rank,
    But when you'd been there a week, well
    You were treated as an equal
    By the high and mighty swells who'd robbed a bank

    When it's tulip time in Sing Sing
    Oh, it's there that I would be
    There are gentle hearts in Sing Sing
    Watching and yearning for me
    Oh, there's no place like home
    And I'm tired of having to roam
    Through the world with its women and its wine
    So just bob my hair and shove me
    Where I know the warders love me
    In that dear old-fashioned prison of mine!

    I Was Warned
    Composer(s): Robert Cray; Dennis Walker
    Performer(s): Robert Cray



    Oh, I was warned about her love
    But like a fool I went on
    Whether they're right or wrong
    At least the mystery is gone

    The more people talked about her
    The more I had to see
    I had to find out for myself
    What could she do for me
    Her lips were so inviting
    Her hands soft to touch
    After just one kiss
    I knew I was out of luck
    From then on I was hers to control
    And knowing that, she robbed me
    Of my heart and robbed me of my soul

    Oh I was warned about her love
    And I'll have to stay strong
    Whether they're right or wrong
    At least the mystery is gone
    From then on I was hers to control
    And knowing that she robbed me of my heart
    And robbed me of my soul, yeah

    Oh I was warned about her love
    But like a fool I went on
    Whether they're right or wrong
    At least the mystery is gone

    She had a left hand filled with diamonds
    And the other filled with lies
    She saw right through me
    There was no p[lace to hide
    Now I've finally learned my lesson
    But you'll never tell
    the pain her love left me
    I hide so well
    I go on day by day in fear
    And knowing that I'll never, never love again
    Only brings tears

    Oh I was warned about her love
    And I'll have to stay strong
    Whether they're right or they're wrong
    At least the mystery is gone
    Whether they're right or wrong
    At least the mystery is gone
    I was warned about her love

    Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Eugene West
    First release: Chuck Berry - 1970
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop
    Back under the counter, was the cream of the crop
    Everything was clickin' and the business was good
    'Til one day, lo and behold, an officer stood
    Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
    But Tulane made it over Johnny as he yelled

    Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
    Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
    Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
    Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
    Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind
    Go 'head on, Tulane go head on

    Go by your father's house and tell him business is slow
    And see if he will loan us something, soon as he hits the dough
    Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
    Go by Doctor Keller's, tell him you swallowed some perfume
    Tell him we need him quick, 'cuz he may have to testify
    That you been sick all day and that's a perfect alibi

    Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
    Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
    Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
    Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
    Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind
    Go 'head on, Tulane go head on

    Go, let Danny drive in case you run into the Man
    Back by the shop and git the stuff and hide it in the van
    Go back by your father's, get the money for the bail
    And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail
    We gotta get a lawyer in the click of politics
    Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fix

    Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
    Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
    Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
    Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
    Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind
    Go 'head on, Tulane go head on

    Go Tulane

    Composer(s): John Fletcher; Frances Kyle
    Performer(s): The Sons Of The Pioneers
    and multiple other artists



    In the sky the bright stars glittered
    On the grass the moonlight fell
    Hush'd the sound of daylight bustle
    Closed the pink eyed pimpernell
    As adown the moss grown wood path
    Where the cattle love to roam
    From an august evening party
    I was seeing Nellie home

    In the sky the bright stars glittered
    On the grass the moonlight shone
    From an august evening party
    I was seeing Nellie home

    When the autumn tinged the greenwood
    Turning all its leaves to the gold
    In the lawn by elders shaded
    I my love to Nellie told
    As we stood together gazing
    On the star bespangled dome
    How I blessed the august evening
    When I saw sweet Nellie home

    In the sky the bright stars glittered
    On the grass the moonlight shone
    From an august evening party
    I was seeing Nellie home

    White hairs mingled with my tresses
    Furrows steal upon my brow
    But a love smile cheers and blesses
    Life's declining moments now
    Matron in the snowy kerchief
    Closer to my bosom come
    Tell me do'st thou still remember
    When I saw sweet Nellie home

    In the sky the bright stars glittered
    On the grass the moonlight shone
    From an august evening party
    I was seeing Nellie home

    El Necio
    Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute and multiple other artists



    Para no hacer de mi ícono pedazos
    para salvarme entre únicos e impares
    para cederme un lugar en su Parnaso
    para darme un rinconcito en sus altares
    me vienen a convidar a arrepentirme
    me vienen a convidar a que no pierda
    mi vienen a convidar a indefinirme
    me vienen a convidar a tanta mierda

    Yo no se lo que es el destino
    caminando fui lo que fui
    Allá Dios, que será divino
    Yo me muero como viví

    Yo quiero seguir jugando a lo perdido
    yo quiero ser a la zurda más que diestro
    yo quiero hacer un congreso del unido
    yo quiero rezar a fondo un hijonuestro
    Dirán que pasó de moda la locura
    dirán que la gente es mala y no merece
    más yo seguiré soñando travesuras
    (acaso multiplicar panes y peces)

    Yo no se lo que es el destino
    caminando fui lo que fui
    Allá Dios, que será divino
    Yo me muero como viví

    Dicen que me arrastrarán po sobre rocas
    cuando la Revolución se venga abajo
    que machacarán mis manos y mi boca
    que me arrancarán los ojos y el badajo
    Será que la necedad parió conmigo
    la necedad de lo que hoy result anecio
    la necedad de asumir al enemigo
    la necedad de vivir sin tener precio

    Yo no se lo que es el destino
    caminando fui lo que fui
    Allá Dios, que será divino
    Yo me muero como viví

    It's A Tug Of War
    What With One Thing And Another
    It's A Tug Of War
    We Expected More
    But With One Thing And Another
    We Were Trying To Outdo Each Other
    In A Tug Of War
    In Another World
    In Another World We Could
    Stand On Top Of The Mountain
    With Our Flag Unfurled
    In A Time To Come
    In A Time To Come We Will Be
    Dancing To The Beat Played
    On A Different Drum

    It's A Tug Of War
    Though I Know I Mustn't Grumble
    It's A Tug Of War
    But I Can't Let Go
    If I Do You'll Take A Tumble
    And The Whole Thing Is Going To Crumble
    It's A Tug Of War

    Pushing Pushing, Pulling Puliing
    Pushing And Pulling

    In Years To Come They May Discover
    What The Air We Breathe And The Life We Lead

    Soon Enough For Me
    No It Won't Be Soon Enough

    In A Time To Come We Will Be

    We Will Be Dancing To The Beat
    Played On A Different Drum

    Ever since I was a kid at school
    I messed around with all the rules
    Apologised then realised
    I'm not different after all

    Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
    Valentinos all of us
    My dad said we looked ridiculous
    But boy we broke some hearts
    In and out of jobs, running free
    Waging war with society
    Dumb blank faces stare back at me
    But nothing ever changed

    Promises made in the heat of the night
    Creeping home before it got too light
    I wasted all that precious time
    and blamed it on the wine

    I was only joking my dear
    Looking for a way to hide my fear
    What kind of fool was I
    I could never win

    Never found a compromise
    Collected lovers like butterflies
    Illusions of that grand first prize
    are slowly wearing thin
    Susy baby you were good to me
    Giving love unselfishly
    But you took it all too seriously
    I guess it had to end

    I was only joking my dear
    Looking for a way to hide my fear
    What kind of fool was I
    I could never win

    Now you ask me if I'm sincere
    That's the question that I always fear
    Verse seven is never clear
    But I'll tell you what you want to hear
    I try to give you all you want
    But giving love is not my strongest point
    If that's the case it's pointless going on
    I'd rather be alone
    'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
    Pouring my heart out in a song
    Owning up for prosperity
    For the whole damn world to see

    Quietly now while I turn a page
    Act one is over without costume change
    The principal would like to leave the stage
    The crowd don't understand

    Composer(s): Fabiana Cantilo - Pedro Aznar Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



    Tuve amor pero siempre a destiempo
    Nunca vi esa estrella fugaz
    Al pedir tres deseos al viento
    Reviví en tu amor que se va

    Si morir es cobarde o valiente
    Decidí que en mis manos está
    Junto a mí vive toda esa gente
    Sin vivir sin morir siempre así

    Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
    Y nadie me enseñe a vivir
    Tengo sangre en las venas
    Que arde más que esta pena de amor

    Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
    Y los tiempos vengan así
    No estoy viva por nada
    Hoy mis alas atadas abrí

    Yo no quiero volverme tu igual
    Ni saber si estoy bien o estoy mal
    No soy de estos tiempos, soy de este momento
    Soy la lluvia que lava este mar

    Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
    En mi amor aprendo a vivir
    Ya cambió la marea
    Y mis pies son la huella del sol

    I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees

    It's my life baby but I don't care

    Ain't that tuff enuff

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    For you baby I would swim the sea
    Nothing I'd do for you that's too tuff for me
    I'd put out a burning building with a shovel and dirt
    And not even worry about getting hurt

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    I'd work twenty four hours, seven days a week
    Just so I could come home and kiss your cheek
    I love you in the morning and I love you at noon
    I love you in the night and take you to the moon

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    I'd lay in a pile of burning money that I've earned
    and not even worry about getting burned
    I'd climb the Empire State Building, fight Muhammad Ali
    Just to have you baby close to me

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    I Was Only 19 (A Walk In the Light Green)
    Composer(s): John Schumann
    First release by: Redgum - 1983



    Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing-out parade at Puckapunyal
    It was a long march from cadets
    The sixth battalion was the next to tour, and it was me who drew the card
    We did Canungra, Shoalwater before we left

    And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay
    This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean
    And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens
    God help me, I was only nineteen

    From Vung Tau, riding Chinooks, to the dust at Nui Dat
    I'd been in and out of choppers now for months
    But we made our tents a home, VB and pinups on the lockers
    And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub

    And can you tell me, doctor, why I stil can't get to sleep?
    And night-time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16?
    And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
    God help me, I was only nineteen

    A four week operation when each step could mean your last one on two legs
    It was a war within yourself
    But you wouldn't let your mates down til they had you dusted off
    So you closed your eyes and thought about something else

    Then someone yelled "Contact!" and the bloke behind me swore
    We hooked in there for hours, then a Godalmighty roar
    Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon
    God help me, he was going home in June

    I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
    On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
    And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle
    Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row

    And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
    And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
    I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
    God help me, I was only nineteen

    And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
    And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet?
    And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
    God help me, I was only nineteen

    El Mundo
    Composer(s): G. Meccia - Fontana - Pes - A. Martínez Performer(s): Javier Solís



    No, en esta noche ya no pienso amor en ti
    abrí los ojos solamente para ver
    si en torno a mí giraba el mundo como siempre
    Gira el mundo gira en su espacio infinito
    con amores que comienzan con amores que terminan
    con las penas y alegrías de otras gentes como yo

    El mundo, por eso ahora yo te miro
    y en tu silencio yo me pierdo
    y no soy nada al verte a ti
    El mundo que no ha parado ni un momento
    su noche muere y viene el día y ese día verá

    El mundo, por eso ahora yo te miro
    y en tu silencio yo me pierdo
    y no soy nada al verte a ti
    El mundo que no ha parado ni un momento
    su noche muere y viene el día y ese día verá
    El mundo

    Tuesday's Gone
    Composer(s): Ronnie Van Zant - Allen Collins
    First release: Lynyrd Skynyrd - 1973
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Train roll on, on down the line
    Won't you please take me far away?
    Now I feel the wind blow outside my door
    Means I'm leaving my woman behind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    My woman's gone with the wind

    And I don't know where I'm going
    I just want to be left alone
    Well, when this train ends I'll try again
    But I'm leaving my woman at home

    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    My woman's gone with the wind

    Train roll on many miles from my home
    See, I'm riding my blues away
    Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
    But somehow I've got to carry on

    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    My woman's gone with the wind

    I Was Made To Love Her
    Composer(s): Stevie Wonder; Lula Mae Hardaway; Henry Cosby; Sylvia Rose Moy
    First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1967
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I was born in Lil' Rock
    Had a childhood sweetheart
    We were always hand in hand

    I was hightop shoes and shirt tails
    Suzy was in pig tails
    I know I loved her even then

    You know my papa disapproved it
    My mama boohooed it
    But I told them time and time again
    "Don't you know I was made to love her
    Built a world all around her"
    Yah! Hey, hey, hey

    She's been my inspiration
    Showed appreciation
    For the love I gave her through the years

    Like a sweet magnolia tree
    My love blossmed tenderly
    My life grew sweeter through the years

    I know that my baby loves me
    My baby needs me
    That's why we made it through the years

    I was made to love her
    Worship and adore her
    Hey, hey, hey

    All through thick and thin
    Our love just won't end
    'Cause I love my baby, love my baby
    Ah!

    My baby loves me
    My baby needs me
    And I know I ain't going nowhere

    I was knee high to a chicken
    When that love bug bit me
    I had the fever with each passing year

    Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
    If this whole world crumbles
    By her side I'll still be standing there

    'Cause I was made to love her
    I was made to live for her, yeah!

    Ah, I was made to love her
    Built my world all around her
    Hey, hey, hey

    Oo baby, I was made to please her
    You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no
    Hey, hey, hey

    Oo wee baby, my baby loves me
    My baby needs me
    Hey, hey, hey

    OO my baby loves me...
