Tupelo Honey
Tupelo Honey
Composer(s): Van Morrison
First release: Van Morrison - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright...
I'll tell a tale of old Manhattan
Adirondack bus to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my number's gonna show

I Will Follow
I Will Follow
Composer(s): Bono; The Edge; Adam Clayton; Larry Mullen
First release by: U2 - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
I was on the outside, when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself, I was blind
I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why?
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow
I was on the inside
when they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found
Walkaway, Walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow
(Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there)
Your eyes, your eyes
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow
I will follow
I will follow...

Will you stay in our lovers' story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing
Will you stay in our lovers' story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing
We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow
And a book of rules
On what to say to people when they pick on you

Tunnel Of Love
Tunnel Of Love
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
and I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
and I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am
in a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light
she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
it's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this
it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say
hey Mister give me two give me two cos any two can play
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
money for muscle and another girl I dig
another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
she put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss
and in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
and now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the Spanish city to me when we were kids

Meisjelief, luister 'ns even
Wat ik je nu zeggen moet
Je bent 't schoonst in m'n leven

Reusachtig je lijn
Maar van alles bij jou
't Meeste ik hou
Dat zing ik in dit refrein

Korenbloemblauw, zijn jou ogen die mij aan jouw binden
Korenbloemblauw, is de hemel waar wij ons bevinden
Daarom, m'n liefste, zweer ik je trouw

Ik wil je mijn liefde schenken
Met jou steeds gelukkig zijn
Bij alles wil 'k aan je denken

En gebeurt 't soms 'ns dat er nare
Gevaren ons dreigt
Dan kijk ik in je toet
't Wordt dan weer goed
Als mijn blik de jouwe krijgt

Tune Up
Tune Up
Composer(s): Miles Davis - Joan Cartwright
First release: The Miles Davis Quartet - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists
Music we will play
Let your body sway
When you hear the band tune up you know
They're gettin' ready for the show
Searing high and free
With your flute in key
Play the sounds that lift us off the ground
And take us back to harmony
On the piano
Music starts to flow
Melodies that say to you and me
"Come on, we're tuned up for the show!"
Now, we're on the move
Get into the groove
When you hear the bassman strum along
You know the tune-up's going strong
Listen to the beat
You can tap your feet
When you hear the drummer drum you know
There's really rhythm in your soul
Let your body sway
Hear the music play
Tune up time is just the time to say
We want to groove you all the way

I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am
I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
First recording/First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Things I learned in the hobo jungle
Were things they never taught me in a class room
Like where to find a hand out
While thumbin' through Chicago in the afternoon
Hey, I'm not braggin' or complainin'
I'm just talkin' to myself man to man
This old mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot o' doin'
But I take a lot of pride in what I am
I guess I grew up a loner
Don't remember ever havin' any folks around
But I keep thumbin' through the phone books
And lookin' for my Daddy's name in ev'ry town
And I meet lots of people
But I always wind up leavin' on the lam
Hey, where I've been or where I'm going didn't take a lot o' knowin'
But I take a lot of pride in what I am
I never travel in a hurry
'Cause I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere
Home is anywhere I'm livin'
If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square
Or if I'm working on some road gang
Or just livin' off the fat of our great land
I never been nobody's idol, but at least I got a title
And I take a lot of pride in what I am
This old mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot o' doin'
And I take a lot of pride in what I am
Oh, where I've been or where I'm going didn't take a lot o' knowin'
But I take a lot of pride in what I am

Krikkit's Song (Passing Through)
Composer(s): Schmit
Performer(s): Poco
Passing through I bring love to you
Let me see your smile
Though it seems so untrue, I'm standing
Right here beside you
Can I stay a while
I been too long feeling kinda low
Help me to follow through
From the start
'cause I can't seem to find a way to go
Is it for me to know my mind
In a place that holds no time
For a little while
'cause soon we must part
Passing through I bring love to you
Let me see your smile
Though it seems so untrue, I'm standing
Right here beside you
Can I stay a while
Firefly dance for you and I, and don't go
Leaving us hollow through
From the start
'cause moonlight don't seem right
When you're alone
Is it for you to know my mind
With a hope that you might find
Me with you sometime
But, soon we must part
Passing through I bring love to you
Let me see your smile
Though it seems so untrue, I'm standing
Right here beside you
Can I stay a while

Tumbling Tumbleweeds
Tumbling Tumbleweeds
Composer(s): Bob Nolan
First release: The Sons Of The Pioneers - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a roaming cowboy riding all day long
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song
Nights underneath the prairie moon
I ride along and sing this tune
See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
I know when night has gone
That a new world's born at dawn
I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

So goodbye, please don't cry

And I hope you have all you dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

Krokodil
Krokodil
Composer(s): Rob Chrispijn; Harry Sacksioni
Performer(s): Conny Vandenbos
De krokodil in mij
is stiekum blij
als iemand iets onaardigs doet
de krokodil in jou
is veel te gauw
gekwetst en beledigd; je speelt het goed
als ik zeg dat ik uren heb gewacht
niet wist waar je bleef vannacht
dan nog ben je niet eerlijk, recht op de man
je maakt er liever een drama van
Krokodillentranen
krokodillentranen
zijn vandaag
in de reklame
krokodillentranen
ze verdonkeremanen
een hart van steen
lak aan iedereen
vaak maak ik me kwaad
's avonds laat
om krokodillen in Den Haag
zo'n krokodil in beeld
eerst nog verveeld
tot ie close-up hinderlijk wordt ondervraagd
politici hebben een dikke huid
maar deze barst in snikken uit
mijnheer, de minima; ik doe wat ik kan
ik lig er nachten wakker van
De krokodil privé
schuwt geen cliché
en koestert zijn holle woordenschat
de krokodil schreeuwt moord
en brand maar stoort
zich enkel aan de oplaag van zijn roddelblad
daarin doen sterren een bekentenis
ze stralen niet of er is iets anders mis
zodat eens per week Nederland geniet
van lief en leed en andermans verdriet
