Half A Mind


Half A Mind
Composer(s): Rodger Miller; Glen Tubb; Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
and various other artists



I don't love you like I used to do but I'm afraid to tell you so
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go
Words to tell you just don't come to me guess my courage is too slow
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go

Now time may prove that you're not to blame
But now's the time I need to know
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go

Mitä mä teen niin, että jälleen
pitää sua saisin lähelläin
Mistä löytää langan elämälleen
Mihin tukisin, kun yksin jäin
Miten sinut saisin välittämään
vain hetkiseksi vielä itsestäin
Miten sinut saisin ymmärtämään
kyyneleesi jälkeen kaiken näin

Jos saisin, jos saan
sanan sanoa, jonka taisin
jo kauan sitten unohtaa
Jos saisin, jos saan
vain sanotuksi saisin
Niin on aina mun
anteeksi kai pyytää vaikeaa
(2x)

Mitä mä teen sä, että voisit
nähdä koko yksinäisyytein
Mitä mä teen sä, että soisit
anteeksi nyt sen
summan virheiden
Anteeksi on pyytää vaikeaa

Half A Boy And Half A Man


Half A Boy And Half A Man
Composer(s): Nick Lowe
Performer(s): Nick Lowe;
and various other artists



You'd better run
you'd better hide

You'd better lock you house and keep the kids inside
Here come the twentieth century's latest scam
he's a half a boy and half a ma]
He ain't a fool but he's a tool

Because his left don't know what his right hand's doin'
He'd keep a King Kong eating out of the palm of his hand

Now he's a half a boy and half a man

Or else the S.P.G. 's gonna clear the streets
They never made no provision in the original plan for half a boy and half a man
Oh
when his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night
When his people stalk in
baby
let me tell you
nothing comes out right
Best be fleet up on your feet

Oh
when his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night

You'd better run
you'd better hide

He's a half a boy and half a man
he's a half a boy and half a man

He's a half a boy and half a man - come on

Wat moet ik nu nog doen, om jou te houden
We hebben alles samen al beleefd
Wat doe ik met mijn zelfvertrouwen
Sinds jij het met verwijten hebt doorzeefd

Probeer toch weer eens naar me te verlangen
En zet jouw jaloezie maar overboord
Of zeg: 'Het spijt me!', dan is het over
Maar "Sorry" is voor jou een moeilijk woord

Je bent bang!
Te bang, bang om me gelijk te geven!
Heb je angst, dat het jouw ego stoort?
Het is fijn, best fijn
Om een keer toe te geven
Kom, zeg het in mijn oor
Want "Sorry" is toch niet zo'n moeilijk woord

Je bent bang!
Te bang, bang om me gelijk te geven!
Heb je angst, dat het jouw ego stoort?
Het is fijn, best fijn
Om een keer toe te geven
Kom, zeg het in mijn oor
Want "Sorry" is toch niet zo'n moeilijk woord

Wat moet ik nog doen om jou te houden
Ik zal mezelf verbeteren, accoord
We hebben beiden onze fouten
Fluister het in mijn oor
Zeg het maar in mijn oor
Is dat "Sorry" nou zo'n vreselijk moeilijk woord?

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji)
Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
He was always in love, in love, in love

Come to my tent, oh, my beloved
Bring me your lips, warm as the sun
Hear my lament, oh, my beloved
Come to my arms, oh, wonderful one

Enter my heart and stay there forever
Lost in the spell of stars up above
And we'll be like the man Hajji Baba
Always in love, always in love

Deep in each soul, carefully hidden
There's a desire to be indiscrete
Hajji has said, "When love is forbidden
Love is so sweet, love is so sweet"

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
He was always in love, in love, in love

Come to my arms, oh, my beloved
(Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji

Sorry (The Easybeats)


Sorry
Composer(s): Stephen Wright - George Young
First release by: The Easybeats - 1966



Mailman came this moring
Brought a message by
Said it from my baby
I think I know just why

With a girl named named Flo
And I just remembered
Had a date with her

Brought a message by
Said it was from my baby

Didn't go last night
Didn't go last night

Haitian Divorce


Haitian Divorce
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan



Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said
So in love the preacher's face turned red
Soon everybody knew the thing was dead
He shouts, she bites, they wrangle through the night
She go crazy
Got to make a getaway
Papa say

Chorus:
Oh - no hesitation
No tears and no hearts breakin'
No remorse
Oh - congratulations
This is your Haitian Divorce

She takes the taxi to the good hotel
Bon marché as far as she can tell
She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell
She feels alright, she get it on tonight
Mister driver
Take me where the music play
Papa say

Chorus

At the Grotto
In the greasy chair
Sits the Charlie with the lotion and the kinky hair
When she smiled, she said it all
The band was hot so
They danced the famous Merengue
Now we dolly back
Now we fade to black

Tearful reunion in the USA
Day by day those memories fade away
Some babies grow in a peculiar way
It changed, it grew, and everybody knew
Semi-mojo
Who's this kinky so-and-so?
Papa go

Chorus

Sorry (Phil Keaggy)


Sorry
Composer(s): Phil Keaggy
Performer(s): Phil Keaggy



Here's a story of ten virgins
Who went out to meet the Groom
Five of them were foolish
Though their beauty was in bloom

They took no oil with their lamps
To see them through the night
They thought they'd be alright and ready

The other five were very wise
And made provision for the night
They carried extra oil
And their lamps were burning bright

Then one by one they fell asleep
The Bridegroom had delayed
Then there came a messenger who said

He is coming, His waiting bride to take
He's coming, the choice is yours to make
Come and greet Him, He'll soon be at the gate
Will you meet Him before you realize that it's too late?

They all arose and trimmed their lamps
Knowing they would soon see Him
The foolish then discovered
That their lamps were growing dim

Share with us your oil
We've run out of our supply!
Then the wise would answer them and cry

We're so sorry, there's not enough to take
We're sorry, the choice was yours to make
Now go hurry, He'll soon be at the gate
Now you worry, although you knew
That it was getting late

While they went to make the purchase
That was when the Bridegroom came
The ready ones went with Him
To the feast and wore His name

The others then returned and said
Lord let us come in too
But He answered, I do not know you

They were sorry, don't make the same mistake
So sorry, the choice is yours to make
Come and greet Him, He'll soon be at the gate
Will you meet Him before you've realized
That it's too late?

Hair Of Gold, Eyes Of Blue


Hair Of Gold, Eyes Of Blue
Composer(s): Sunny Skylar
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



I came down from Butte, Montana
for a little change of scene
And I stopped to stay in Santa Fe
where I met a pretty queen
Hair of gold, eyes of blue
lips like cherry wine
She's the prettiest gal I ever know and I'm gonna make her mine
Now I planned to leave on Monday
but she held me kinda tight
So I stood my ground and hung around
and then I left on Friday night
Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue
lips like cherry wine
The prettiest gal I ever knew and I'm gonna make her mine

De Eerste Keer


De Eerste Keer
First performance by: Maxime & Franklin Brown - 1996



Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na

'k Was stomverbaasd toen je me belde
Na zo lange tijd
M'n hart sloeg plotseling heel even over

Oh en jij klonk nog hetzelfde
En het meisje in mij
Bracht zomaar weer het onderste boven

Woo hoo hoo
Wat is het lang geleden
Lang geleden
Lang geleden

't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"
't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"

Wel wat met jou

Ik vond je toen te gek, ik was stapel op jou
Heel macho en overal tegen

Oh, en wat je nooit geweten hebt
Ik hield veel van jou
Maar eigenlijk was ik toen heel verlegen

Woo hoo hoo
Wat is het lang geleden
Lang geleden
Lang geleden

't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"
't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"

Wel wat

Waar spreken we af en zien we elkaar snel weer?

Kom we pikken het weer op zoals de eerste keer

Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Yeah

't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"
't Was als de eerste keer
Het klikte zomaar weer
De tijd stond even stil
Ik dacht weer "ja ik wil"

Zoals de eerste keer

Sorrow Tomorrow


Sorrow Tomorrow
Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Bobby Darin



Sorrow, tomorrow
Sorrow, tomorrow …

Makin’ eyes at all the guys
While you dance with me
I must be blind to love your kind
‘cause it’s so plain to see …

If I should love you
For more than tonight …

There would be sorrow
There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow

Havin’ fun with anyone
Livin’ for today
My achin’ heart is torn apart
I just can’t live that way …

If I should love you
For more than tonight …

There would be sorrow
There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow

Trouble’s waitin’ just around the corner
Heartache’s waitin’ just around the bend
I don’t want to think about tomorrow
‘cause tomorrow my happiness could end

I asked my pride to step aside
I know this love’s so wrong
Can’t stand the pain
Of lovin’ in vain it’s not where I belong …

If I should love you
For more than tonight …

There would be sorrow
There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow

You believe me …
There would be sorrow
There would be heartache

There would be sorrow, tomorrow …

I know … you know
That there would be … sorrow
There would be … heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow

Hair


Hair
Composer(s): Gerome Ragni; James Rado
Performer(s): Galt McDermot



She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling

Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Down to here
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself

They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair

My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Sorrow Is A Woman


Sorrow Is A Woman
Composer(s): Savage - Clark - Willis - Elliott
Performer(s): Def Leppard



You're always pretending to be
Someone who prefers to be free
You think you can fool me with your lying eyes
But what is this game that you play
When all that your trying to say
Is that your lonely, in need of a friend
Oh yeah, sorrow woman
I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman
If only you could see you as I do
And can't you see that it's true
There's someone as lonely as you
Trying so hard, so hard to get through
And why can't everyone see
The way that it really should be
Why hide your feelings and suffer the pain
Oh yeah, sorrow woman
I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman
If only you could see you as I do
You know that sorrow is a woman
You know that she'll make you feel sad
You know that sorrow is a woman
Oh yeah sorrow woman
I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman
If only you could see you as I do

Hail, Vermont!


Hail, Vermont!
Composer(s): Josephine Hovey Perry



Hail to Vermont!
Lovely Vermont!
Hail to Vermont so fearless!
Sing we a song!
Sing loud and long!
To our little state so peerless!
Green are her hills
Clear are her rills
Fair are her lakes, and rivers and valleys
Blue are her skies
Peaceful she lies
But when roused to a call she speedily rallies

Hail to Vermont! Dear old Vermont!
Our love for you is great
We cherish your name
We laud! We acclaim!
Our own Green Mountain State

Proud of Vermont
Lovely Vermont
Proud of her charm and her beauty
Proud of her name
Proud of her fame
We're proud of her sense of duty
Proud of her past
Proud first and last
Proud of her lands and proud of her waters
Her men are true
Her women too
We're proud of her sons and proud of her daughters

Hail to Vermont!
Dear old Vemont!
Our love for you is great
We cherish your name
We laud! We acclaim!

I Evighet


I Evighet
Composer(s): Torhild Nigar
First performance by: Elisabeth Andreassen - 1996



Dagen går mot kveld, er borte, blir snart glemt
Men alt vi gav den står igjen, et frø som gror og vokser frem

Slik er kjærlighetens vei når den møter deg og meg
Først når vi lærer og forstår, vil den modnes og bli vår

Selv om dagene går, de svinner hen og blir til år
Alltid vil kjærlighet bestå i tid og evighet
I evighet

Elven renner stille hen over sletter, skog og eng
Men på sin vei får å nå frem, gikk den over stryk og stein

Selv om dagene går, de svinner hen og blir til år
Alltid vil kjærlighet bestå i tid og evighet
I evighet

Selv om dagene går, de svinner hen og blir til år
Alltid vil kjærlighet bestå i tid og evighet
I evighet

Alltid vil kjærlighet bestå i tid og evighet
I evighet

Hail Glorious Saint Patrick


Hail Glorious Saint Patrick
Composer(s): Sr. Anges; H.F. Hemy
Performer(s): Daniel O'Donnell



Hail, glorious St. Patrick, dear saint of our isle
On us thy poor children bestow a sweet smile
And now thou art high in the mansions above
On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love

(optional repeat)
On Erin's green valleys, on Erin's green valleys
On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love

Hail, glorious St. Patrick, thy words were once strong
Against Satan's wiles and a heretic throng
Not less is thy might where in Heaven thou art
Oh, come to our aid, in our battle take part!

In a war against sin, in the fight for the faith
Dear Saint, may thy children resist to the death
May their strength be in meekness, in penance, and prayer
Their banner the Cross, which they glory to bear

Thy people, now exiles on many a shore
Shall love and revere thee till time be no more
And the fire thou hast kindled shall ever burn bright
Its warmth undiminished, undying its light

Ever bless and defend the sweet land of our birth
Where the shamrock still blooms as when thou wert on earth
And our hearts shall yet burn, wherever we roam
For God and St. Patrick, and our native home

Sophisticated Lady


Sophisticated Lady
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Irving Mills - Duke Ellington
First release by: Duke Ellington & His Orch. - 1933
Covered by multiple other artists



They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and dies away
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you somehow
I see you now

Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want

No. Sophisticated lady I know
You miss that love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry
You cry, you cry
