Hello Again


Hello Again
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



Hello
hello again!
Hello
hello again!
You might've forgot
The journey ends

You tied your knots
And you made your friends
You left the scene
Without a trace

One hand on the ground

One hand in space
Oh
you passed on mercy

You tried the rest

You gave your body
you gave your best
Staring at the green door living in the sky

You don't want to know it
you just want to fly
Hello
hello
hello again!
Hello
hello
hello again!
I know you're a dreamer who's under the gun

I know you're a dreamer who's only just begun
Hello
hello
hello again!
I say hello
hello
hello again!
Oh
and when there's nothing
nothing left to loose
You leave it all to fade to blue
You wanna feel electric
you wanna feel loose

You wanna be eclectic
you wanna call a truce
Look at the profile staring up the flame
Waiting for the sunshine standing in the rain
Hello
hello again!
I said hello
hello
hello
hello
hello again!
I say hello
hello
hello
hello again!
Hello
hello again
Hello - hello - hello - hello - hello

Having A Real Bad Day


Having A Real Bad Day
Composer(s): John Barlow Jarvis; Delbert McClinton
Performer(s): Taj Mahal



I found her number, and the note she wrote
Deep in the pocket, of a real old coat
It just got by me some way
I'm having a real bad day
Said she was all moved in and her apartment
sure looked fine
Suggested I come by, and see her some time
Said all her fixtures were new, and I'll turn them on for you
She said I get home at a quarter to six
I'll be waiting for your call
I'll fix you something, I'm sure your gonna love
but we don't have to, we don't have to eat at all
that's one of the problems, of life on the road
little notes like this ain't got no area code
I don't know what else to say
I'm having, a real bad day
I don't know what to say
I'm having, a real bad day

Northern Girl


Northern Girl
Composer(s): Kim Breitburg - Karen Kavaleryan - Evgene Fridlyand - Irina Antonyan
First performance by: Prime Minister - 2002



In all my wanderings around the world
I met so many kinds of pretty girls
All of them like precious stones sparkling on their own
I found them fiery, tender, bright and sweet
In Rome and Paris, Lisbon and Madrid
But one girl remains for me still a real mystery
I've been thinkin' about you

Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby?
Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
Northern girl

We drink the sunset like ruby wine
But still you keep your head and hold the line
Even when you look aside, I admire your pride
We stand together closely, skin to skin
You look forbidding as the Snow Queen
But I hear your secret call 'cause your fortress has no walls
I'm still thinkin' about you

Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby?
Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
Northern girl

Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby?
Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
Northern girl

And when you ask me tonight why I search for love so, so far
I will hold you and whisper:
You're my Northern Star, guiding star, baby

Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby?
Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
Northern girl

Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby?
(You're my northern girl)
Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl
(You're my guiding star)
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
(Northern girl)
Northern girl

Northern girl

Hello


Hello
Composer(s): Lionel Ritchie
Performer(s): Lionel Ritchie;
and various other artists



I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
A thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello! is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello! I've just got to let you know

Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you

Hello! is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you

We're havin' a party
Dancin' to the music
Played by the DJ

The Coke's out in the icebox
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby

So Mr., Mr. DJ
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby

Everybody's swingin'

If you take requests I've
Got a few for you
Play that song called "Soul Twist"
Play that song called "I Know"
Don't forget "The Mashed Potatoes"
No other songs will do

So Mr., Mr. DJ...

We're havin' a party
Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music
On the radio

Speel Niet Met Mijn Hart


Speel Niet Met Mijn Hart
(English & French Versions: What Good Does It To Me; Ne Joue Pas)
Composer(s): Art Marotta - Guy Hemric - Remo - Aleda
Performer(s): Dalida



Speel niet met mijn hart
Want als het ooit breken zal
Van leed en van smart
Dan breekt het alleen door jou

Speel niet met mijn hart
Maar wees er toch eerlijk mee
Zo kunnen we liefste
Gelukkig zijn met z’n twee

Mijn hart doet nog meer
Dan jij ooit verwachten zal
Het roept telkens weer
Ik hou zo van jou

Speel niet met mijn hart
Want als het ooit breken zal
Van leed en van smart
Dan breekt het alleen door jou

Speel niet met mijn hart
Maar wees er toch eerlijk mee
Zo kunnen we liefste
Gelukkig zijn met z’n twee

Mijn hart doet nog meer
Dan jij ooit verwachten zal
Het roept telkens weer
Ik hou zo van jou…

Speel niet met mijn hart
Het vraagt om bemind te zijn
Het waarborgt mijn hart
De liefde van jou pracht
Dat klopt alleen, alleen, alleen
Voor mij

Hell Or High Water


Hell Or High Water
Composer(s): T. Graham Brown; Alex Harvey
Performer(s): T. Graham Brown



Now baby don't worry, if he troubles your mind
'Cause it'll all wash away, girl, in the river of time
If you need a shoulder, I'll be around
I'll be your rock to hold onto till the river goes down

It's hell and high water, that your goin' through
But come hell or high water, I'll be here waiting for you

I can't keep you from cryin', and I can't stop your pain
The brightest of sunshine never could stop the rain
But you know that I'll be there just like that ol' sun
To be your good morning when your cryin's all done

It's hell and high water, that your goin' through
But come hell or high water, I'll be here waiting for you

It's hell and high water, that your goin' through
But come hell or high water, I'll be here waiting for you

Havin' Myself A Time
Composer(s): Leo Robin; Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists



I'm havin' myself a time
I mean I'm havin' what I want
Wantin' what I have
Doin' what I like and likin' what I do and I'm
Havin' myself a time
I never could save a dime
And so I'm livin' like a lord
Actin' like a loon
Lyin' in the sun and sighin' in the moon and I'm
Havin' myself a time
When I hum songs
They're all dumb songs without reason or rhyme
But I'm certainly in my prime
I mean I'm happy as a bird
Flyin' up above
Want a little love and get a little love
I'm havin' myself a time

It was a moonlit night in old Mexico
I walked alone between some old adobe haciendas
Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl

(La-la-la)

You better come home, Speedy Gonzales
Away from tannery row
Stop alla your a-drinkin'
With that floozie named Flo
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leakin' like a strainer
There's loadsa roaches in the hall

Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

"Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown
for my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers"

(La-la-la)

Your doggy's gonna have a puppy
And we're runnin' outta coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smelled some perfume in your ear
Well if you're gonna keep on messin'
Don't bring your business back a-here

Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

"Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina

Hell Nep Avenue


Hell Nep Avenue
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Comme j'arrivais la tête en vrac
Entre ma guitare et mon sac
J'entends, malheureux ne bougez plus
Ne bougez plus
Le prochain pas que vous allez faire
Peut vous mener droit en enfer
Personne ne vous a prévenu
Vous êtes sur Hell nep Avenue

Boulevard des papiers qui s'envolent
Le vent y descend droit du pôle
Ça fait des chansons de travers, de travers
Chanteurs aux épaules tombantes
Pris dans les fougères grimpantes
Encore une averse de plus
Sur Hell nep Avenue

Quelques mesures de silence
À l'heure où l'autobus s'avance
Aucune fille n'en descend, et le blues reprend
On peut voir se creuser les rides
De ceux qui attendent dans le vide
Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus
La Hell nep Avenue

Personne ne vous a prévenu
À cette heure-ci elle viendra plus
Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus
La Hell nep Avenue

Avenue du blues, boulevard de personne
On y a vu trainer Robert Johnson
Jusqu'au matin grattant la misère, la misère
Il reste un carré de pelouse
Où quelques silhouettes jalouses
Viennent pour fleurir la statue
Vous êtes sur Hell nep Avenue

Tendresse pendue aux pupitres
Rue des fenêtres sans vitres
Combien d'amoureux étendus, étendus
On y a tous chanté une fois
Une fois et puis t'oublies plus
La hell nep Avenue...

Combien d'amoureux étendus
Tellement, tellement de silhouettes perdues
Encore une averse de plus sur la Hell nep Avenue
Personne ne vous a prévenu
À cette heure-ci elle viendra plus
Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus la Hell nep Avenue...

Haven't You Heard (Porter Wagoner)


Haven't You Heard
Composer(s): Dale Siegenthaler
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner



Haven't you heard there's a new love for me
Haven't you heard you're just my used to be
She held out her hand, said "Haven't you heard"
I saw a gold wedding band, I was lost for words
I wanted to cry I wanted to die
When she said these words ("Oh, haven't you heard*)

Haven't you heard there's a new love for me
Haven't you heard you're just my used to be
She pulled back her hand, I wanted to cry
It was all I could stand to see her wavin' goodbye
I wanted to cry I wanted to die
When she said these words ("Oh, haven't you heard")
When she said these words "Oh, haven't you heard"

Op een mistig koude augustusavond liep ik doelloos langs
witgekalkte huisjes van het Lierse Begijnhof. In de grauwe
stilte weerklonk plots het troosteloos geweeklaag van een
eenzaam meisje

da’s kwezel Eufrazie van Doemmele
van het Begijnenhof in Lier
sinds heure vent stierf van ‘t boemmele
is ‘t menske hiêl diên tijd al hier
ze zit al jare in heur huiske
ze denkt er dikwijls on ne vent
alleen gon slape mè e kruiske
is ze nog altijd ni gewend

Eufrazie van Doemmele
we wete goe wa da ge mist
Eufrazie van Doemmele
wa denkte van ne goeien twist
ik kan ni twiste, ik mag ni twiste
twiste is onze regel ni
begijntjes en kwezelkes twisten ni

van diên moment sliep Eufrazieke
giênen enkelen nacht gerust
ze droomt dat ze bij ieder lieke
door Chubby Checker wordt gekust
na leert ze twiste veur ne spiegel
veur ‘n begijn is da gewaagd
al weurd ze mottig van ‘t gewiegel
ze wacht totdat er iemand vraagt

Eufrazie van Doemmele
we wete wa gij hèt gemist
Eufrazie van Doemmele
wa denkte van ne goeien twist
ik kan goe twiste, ik mag wel twiste
twiste is onze regel wel
begijntjes en kwezelkes twisten wel
come on man, let’s twist again

Hell Is For Children


Hell Is For Children
Composer(s): Pat Benatar; Roger Capps; Neil Giraldo
Performer(s): Pat Benatar; Rosemary's Billygoat



They cry in dark
so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light
so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget
all the while...
Love and pain become one and the same
in the eyes of a wounded child
Because--hell, hell is for children!
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell--hell is for children
and you shouldn't have to pay for your love
with your bones and your flesh...
It's all so confusing
this brutal abusing...
They blacken your eyes
and then apologize...
"Be daddy's good girl
and don't tell mommy a thing"...
"Be a good little boy
and you'll get a new toy
tell grandma you fell from the swing"
Because--hell, hell is for children!
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell--hell is for children
and you shouldn't have to pay for your love
with your bones and your flesh...

Haven't You Heard (George Strait)


Haven't You Heard
Composer(s): Red Lane; Wayne Kemp
Performer(s): George Strait



Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard, Momma is gone

Here I stand with my finger on his door bell
My mind goes back to what I did last night
You see I finally talked his wife into leavin' him
And I'm just here to convince my conscience that it's alright
Well I can see my ole friend sittin' there just starin'
And his little boy's cryin' words that are welded in my mind

Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard, Momma is gone
And either way I am a loser
And I've been cryin' all night long
Mister, haven't you heard

Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard, Momma is gone
And either way I am a loser
And I've been cryin' all night long
Mister, haven't you heard

Ritorna a casa Speedy Gonzales
devi lasciare quel bar
e devi smettere di bere
per scordarti di me

Tu m'hai lasciata sola in casa
tu m'hai lasciato perchè
ho tanto freddo e sono sola
e il tetto lacrima per me

Speedy Gonzales ritorna da me
Speedy Gonzales non lasciarmi mai più

Nascondi il viso col sombrero
e ti vergogni perchè
hai sulle labbra un'altro bacio
mai baciato da me
Se torni incontro alle mie braccia
io ti perdono perchè
berremmo insieme una tequila
e brinderemo al nostro amor

Speedy Gonzales ritorna da me
Speedy Gonzales non lasciarmi mai più

Speedy Gonzales why don't you come home
Speedy Gonzales don't you leave me alone

Hell In A Bucket


Hell In A Bucket
Composer(s): John Perry Barlow; Bob Weir
Performer(s): Grateful Dead; Bob Weir



Well, I was drinking last night with a biker
And I showed him a picture of you
I said, "Pal, get to know her
You'll like her"
Seemed like the least I could do...

'Cause when he's driving his chopper
Up and down your carpeted halls
You will think me by contrast quite proper
Never mind how I stumble and fall
Never mind how I stumble and fall

Chorus:
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
For a taste of your elegant pride
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I'm enjoying the ride
At least I'm enjoying the ride
At least I'm enjoying the ride

Now miss sweet little soft-core pretender
Somehow baby got hard as it gets
With her black leather chrome spiked suspenders
Her chair and her whip and her pets

Well we know you're the reincarnation
Of the ravenous Catherine the Great
And we know how you love your ovations
For the Z-rated scenes you create
The Z-rated scenes you create

You analyze me, pretend to despise me
You laugh when I stumble and fall
There may come a day I will dance on your grave
If unable to dance, I will crawl across it
Unable to dance, I'll still crawl

You must really consider the circus
'Cause it just might be your kind of zoo
I can't think of a place that's more perfect
For a person as perfect as you

And it's not like I'm leaving you lonely
'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
But I know that you'll think of me only
When the snakes come marching in
When the snakes come marching in

Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?


Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow? Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow?
I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice

Have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
I was just passing the time
I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine?

Tell me a story about how you adore me
Live in the shadow, see through the shadow,
Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow
Hate in the shadow, and love in your shadowy life

Have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow?
Has he had another baby, standing in the shadow?
Baby, where have you been all your life?
Talking about all the people who should try anything twice

Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline

Everything I Want


Everything I Want
Composer(s): Milana Vlaovic
First performance by: Vesna Pisarovic - 2002



Since you came into my life, I've been touched by happiness
I feel love is all around 'cause there is no more loneliness
And there's one thing that is true
You should know how much I love you

Love is everything I want, love is everything I need
Thinking of the day we met as sign of destiny
Love is everything I want, I believe in you and me
Let me show you what I feel because my love is real

The girl I was, I left behind, incomplete and insecure
Now I got you on my mind and I feel like I've been cured
And there's one thing that is true
You should know how much I love you

Love is everything I want, love is everything I need
Thinking of the day we met as sign of destiny
Love is everything I want, I believe in you and me
Let me show you what I feel because my love is real

(Ah... ah... ah...) Whoa...

(Love is everything I want, love is everything I need)
(Thinking of the day we met as sign of destiny)
Love is everything I want, I believe in you and me
Let me show you what I feel because my love is real

(Love is everything I want, love is everything I need)
(Thinking of the day we met as sign of destiny) Thinking of the day
(Love is everything I want, I believe in you and me)
(Let me show you what I feel) because my love is real
Because my love is real

He'll Have To Go


He'll Have To Go
Composer(s): Audrey Allison; Joe Allison
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let´s pretend that we´re together all alone
I´ll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he´ll have to go
Whisper to me tell me do you love me true?
Or is he holding you the way I do?
Though love is blind, make up your mind
I´ve got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he´ll have to go
You can´t say the words I want to hear while you´re with another man
If you want me answer "Yes" or "No" darling I will understand
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let´s pretend that we´re together all alone
I´ll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he´ll have to go
