The Door Is Still Open To My Heart
The Door Is Still Open To My Heart
Performer(s): Dean Martin
(The door is still open to my heart)
I must confess that I cry from loneliness
And the door is still open to my heart
You are to me like honey is to the bee
And the door is still open to my heart
I'm not ashamed to cry
It's better then to hold it inside
And I won't be satisfied
Until you're here by my side
You're as close to me as two is to three
And the door is still open to my heart
(I'm not ashamed to cry
It's better than to hold it inside)
And I won't be satisfied
Until you're here by my side
You're as close to me as two is to three
And the door is still open to my heart
And the door is still open to my heart

Cars Hiss By My Window
Composer(s): John Densmore - Robbie Krieger - Ray Manzarek - Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
I got this girl beside me
But she's out of reach
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Can't hear my baby
Though I called and called
Yeah, right
Woo!
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom, boom
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room
Yeah, woo
Ride
Ride on
Weooooo!
Wawa, eooo!
Oooo, owa, owaaa!
Wa, waaaaea!
Ooo, wa, wa, wa, wa, waa!
Uh-huh

Flip Flop And Fly
Composer(s): Chuck Calhoun; Lou Willie Turner
Performer(s): Big Joe Turner;
and various other artists
When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair
When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair
If the blues ever take me gonna rock right away from here
Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone
Now when I get lonesome I get on the telephone
I call my baby and tell him I'm on my way back home
Now flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me don't ever say good-bye
Here comes my baby flashing a new gold tooth
Here comes my baby flashing a new gold tooth
He's so skinny he can mambo in a payphone booth
Give me on last kiss and hold it a long, long time
Give me on last kiss and hold it a long, long time
'Til the feeling over comes me with a feelin' in my head like wine
Now flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me don't ever say good-bye

The Door Is Always Open
The Door Is Always Open
Composer(s): Bob McDill - Dickey Lee
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
and multiple other artists
Saw your picture in the paper and I see you married good
And I know that he can give you all the things I never could
But I know that he can't give you what you need most of all
So the door is always open, and the lights on in the hall
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call
When night falls on that mansion and you're lying in his bed
When he begs you for attention, will you think of me instead
When he reaches out to touch you, is your face turned to the wall
Well the door is always open, and the lights on in the hall
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call

Cars Are Cars
Cars Are Cars
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Similarly made
Similarly sold
In a motorcade
Abandoned when they're old
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Engine in the front
Jack in the back
Wheels take the brunt
Pinion and a rack
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
But people are strangers
They change with the curve
From time zone to time zone
As we can observe
They shut down their borders
And think they're immune
They stand on their differences
And shoot at the moon
But cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Drive 'em on the left
Drive 'em on the right
Susceptible to theft in the middle of the night
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
I once had a car
That was more like a home
I lived in it, loved in it
Polished its chrome
If some of my homes
Had been more like my car
I probably wouldn't have
Travelled this far
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world

The Door Into Summer
The Door Into Summer
Composer(s): William E. Martin - Douglas Farthing Hatlelid
First release by: The Monkees - 1967
With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left King Midas there, as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer
Well, it's travel onto "maybe next year" 's places
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
And he pays for every year he cannot buy back with his tears
As he finds out there's been no one keeping score
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

Composer(s): Gary Numan
First release by: Gary Numan - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live in cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days in cars.
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please
If I open my door in cars
Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right in cars

Flight Of The Rat
Flight Of The Rat
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Ian Gillan;
Roger Glover; Jon Lord; Ian Paice
Performer(s): Deep Purple
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didn't want to know
She wouldn't see the show
What a fright
I couldn't do it right
Oh what a night
Mystic demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town
When I was seventeen
Me mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so much
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried
In my mind
I had to find
A kind of new way
Of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded
English fool
Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldn't even speak
Shaking put a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
Now I'm free
And I can see
And I can see
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
Now I'm free
And I can see
And I can see
Please stay away

Voilà plus d’un an

Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver
J’ai pleuré des nuits
Tu sais toi aussi
Ce que ça fait mal!
Ce que ça fait mal!
Comme dans les romans
Je voulais mourir
Et puis, maintenant
J’ai envie de rire
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver
Tu ne m’aimes pas
Mais ça ne fait rien
Puisque tu es là
Je me sens si bien
Voilà plus d’un an
Mais c’est oublié
Je veux maintenant
Tout recommencer
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver...

Flickorna På TV2
Composer(s): Per Gessle; Mats Persson
Performer(s): Gyllene Tider
Kommer hem helt desperat har jobbat som fan
Sätter på TV2 sönderstressad av stan
Rapport med sport och väder snart är dom där
En blick som får mej att falla åh Gud - jag tror jag är kär
Åhå åhå hå Flickorna på TV2 - åhå hå
Flickorna på TV2 - åhå hå
Det är ni som får jorden att gå runt
Mittemellan två program får dom en minut
Jag sitter i min soffa mina läppar putar ut
Jag låter mej förföras jag frustar som en tjur
Åh Flickorna på TV2 ni har gjort mej till ett djur
Tänk att få sätta på TV2 - åhå hå
Tänk att få sätta på flickorna på TV2 - åhå hå
Tänk att få sätta på TV2 - åhå hå
Tänk att få sätta på flickorna på TV2

The Donkey Serenade
The Donkey Serenade
((Adapted from: Chansonnette (Rudolf Friml) - 1923))
Composer(s): Rudolf Friml - Herbert Stothart - Robert Wright - George Forrest
Performer(s): Allan Jones - 1937
and multiple other artists
There's a song in the air
But the fair senorita doesn't seem to care
For the song in the air
Oh, I'll sing to the mule
If you're sure she won't think that I am just a fool
Serenading a mule
Amigo mio, does she not have a dainty bray?
(Boy:) Que, esta?
(Jones:) She listens carefully to each little tune you play
(Boy:) Oh, la bella senorita!
(Jones:) Si, si, mi muchachito
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way
But try as she may, in her voice there's a flaw
And all that the lady can say
Is hee-haw-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w
Senorita, donkey's feet are
Not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my chiquita
You're the one for me!
There's a light in her eye
Though she may try to hide it, she cannot deny
There's a light in her eye
Oh, the charm of her smile
So beguiled Don Diego that he rode a mile
For the charm of her smile
Amigo mio, is she listening to my song?
(Boy:) Que, esta?
(Jones:) No, no, mi muchachito, how can you be so wrong?
(Boy:) Si, la bella senorita!
(Jones:) Si, si, la senorita
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way
Her face is a dream, like an angel I saw
And all that my darling can scream
Is hee-haw-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w
Senorita, donkey's feet are
Not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my chiquita
You're the one for me!
Ole!

Carry On Wayward Son
Carry On Wayward Son
Composer(s): Kerry Livgren
First release by: Kansas - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin'
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Flickan Och Kråkan
Flickan Och Krakan
Composer(s): Mikael Wiehe
Performer(s): Sofia Karlsson
Jag satt häromdagen och läste min tidning
en dag som så många förut
Och jag tänkte på alla dom drömmar man drömt
som en efter en har ta'tt slut
Då såg jag en bild av en flicka
med en skadskjuten kråka i famn
Hon springer iväg genom skogen
så fort som hon bara nånsin kan
Hon springer med fladdrande lockar
hon springer på taniga ben
Och hon hoppas och tror och hon bönar och ber
att det inte skall vara försent
Och flickan är liten och hennes hår är så ljust
och hennes kind är så flämtande röd
Och kråkan är klumpig och kraxande svart
och om en stund är den alldeles död
Men flickan hon springer för livet
med en skadskjuten kråka i famn
Hon springer mot trygghet och värme
för det som är riktigt och sant
Hon springer med tindrande ögon
hon springer på taniga ben
För hon vet att det är sant, det som pappa har sagt
att finns det liv, är det aldrig försent
Och jag började darra i vånda och nöd
jag skaka av rädsla och skräck
För jag visste ju alldeles tydligt och klart
att det var bilden av mig som jag sett
För mitt hopp är en skadskjuten kråka
och jag är ett springande barn
som tror det finns nå'n som kan hjälpa mig än
som tror det finns nå'n som har svar
Och jag springer med bultande hjärta
jag springer på taniga ben
Och jag bönar och ber, fast jag egentligen vet
att det redan är all'es för sent

The Dollar Bill Song
The Dollar Bill Song
Composer(s): Andy Breckman
Performer(s): Andy Breckman
She took a dollar bill from her wallet
She picked up a fountain pen
She wrote down the words 'I love you'
Next to the picture of George Washington
She took the dollar bill to the grocery store
And bought herself a chocolate cake
She gave the dollar bill to the grocery man
And then she went back home to wait
The grocery man gave the dollar bill
To a fat guy from Baton Rouge
He spent the bill at the hardware store
On a box of flat-top screws
The hardware store gave the dollar bill
To a customer named Clive
Who, by the way, is the son
Of one of the original Dave Clark Five
He spent the bill at the laundramat
They gave it to a lady named Fran
Fran's younger son stole the bill from her purse
And went to see Star Wars again
The movie theatre guy spent the dollar bill
On a subway ride uptown
Three minutes later the bill was in the pocket
Of a gamblin' man named Brown
Brown blew the bill in a poker game
He was fishin' for an inside straight
The dollar went home with a man named Jones
Who was sitting on a pair of eights
Jones took the bill to a savings bank
The teller's name was Dan
Dan gave the bill to
Oh my God, it's Rabbi Finkelman
I'm with you all the time
I can hear ya loud and clear
Just give a tug along the line
Ya know I will be there
Anyway the Rabbi spent the bill
On a ham and cheese to go
They gave the bill to a guy named Phil
Who gave it to his best friend Joe
Joe had planned to spend it
On some flowers for his bride
But he was mugged by a junkie named Doug
In the parking lot outside
Doug's old lady spent the bill
On a couple o' cans o' beer
She eventually becomes a very famous poet
But that don't matter here
The liquor store guy put the dollar bill
In his register, but then
Doug the junkie said "Stick 'em up"
And the dollar was his again
He gave the bill to a girl named Jill
Who gave it to a girl named Flo
She gave the bill to a real short guy
Who's name I do not know
He gave the bill to another short guy
Who gave it to a guy named Jake
Jake took the bill to a bar 'n' grill
And bought himself a sirloin steak
Later that day I happened to say
"Think I'll stop by the bar 'n' grill"
The cashier counted out my change
And handed me the dollar bill
Well I ran to a phone and I dialled in her number
As fast as my fingers could do
I said "Baby, I just got your message"
I said "Baby,I love you too"
I said, I am with you all the time
I can hear you loud and clear
Just give a tug along the line
You know I will be there"
I said, Mary, you don't need no dime
You don't need no subway fare
Just give a tug along the line
I said I'm with you everywhere
I said I'm with you everywhere
I said I'm with you everywhere

First release by: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1970
and multiple other artists
One morning I woke up and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way, I knew
I should see it along
Go your way, I'll go mine and
Carry on
The sky is clearing and the night
Has gone out
The sun, he come, the world
is all full of light
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
To carry on
The fortunes of fables are able
To sing the song
Now witness the quickness with which
We get along
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and
Carry on
Carry on
Love is coming
Love is coming to us all
Where are you going now my love?
Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness?
Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?
Girl when I was on my own
Chasing you down
What was it made you run?
Trying your best just to get around
The questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

À mon amour qui m'a tout pardonné
Souvent je lui donne
À mon ami sur qui je peux compter
Souvent je lui donne
Fleurs d'amour et d'amitié aussi

Sans un amour un homme n'est plus rien
Oh non sans personne
Sans un ami à qui tendre la main, ho non
Et je donne
Pour tout l'amour que je vois dans vos yeux
Souvent je vous donne
Vous mes amis qui m'écoutez en ce moment
Je vous donne
Fleurs d'amour et d'amitié aussi
Vont toujours avec ce collier
Fleurs de joies et fleurs de l'espoir aussi
C'est pour ça que je vous les ai cueillies
Fleurs d'amour et d'amitié aussi
Mets autour du cou ce collier
Fleurs de peines nous verrons pousser ainsi
Des jardins pour embellir notre vie
Fleurs d'amour fleurs d'amitié
Fleurs d'amour fleurs d'amitié
Fleurs d'amour fleurs d'amitié
Fleurs d'amour ouais fleurs d'amour...
