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

I wanna love you like i never loved you tonight
If it's alright
I wanna tell you things I've never said in my life
I'm gonna hold you when the sun refuses to shine

And you need me there

So why don't you stay a while
And when you want me to
I'll wait for you...

Meisjelief, luister 'ns even
Wat ik je nu zeggen moet
Je bent 't schoonst in m'n leven
't Doet toch m'n hart zo goed
Je figuurtje, zo slank en zo prachtig
Reusachtig je lijn
Maar van alles bij jou
't Meeste ik hou
Dat zing ik in dit refrein
refr.:
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
't Komt door die kijkers van jou, Korenbloemblauw
Ik wil je mijn liefde schenken
Met jou steeds gelukkig zijn
Bij alles wil 'k aan je denken
Regen, 't zij zonneschijn
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
refr.
Daarom, m'n liefste, zweer ik je trouw
't Komt door die kijkers van jou, Korenbloemblauw

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)
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

If I should stay

That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not wat you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love
I will always love you
I will always love you

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

Wo Yeah! (Wo, wo)
Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me

But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheatin' like I don't know how
But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now
This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin'
Don't you know you know the duece is still wild
Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry
Don't you see the time flashin' by
Honey, got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
Say now baby, I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime
But baby, I can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin'
Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice
Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter
Playin' the field ev'ry night
But baby, I can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' dice

Got to roll me (yayes)

Got to roll me (Oh yeah)

Got to roll me (hit me)
Baby I'm down

Performer(s): Ann De Winne - 1998
Vaarwel, ik moet nu gaan
Maar besef dat ik bij jou blijf
Al zeg ik nu dag, diep in mijn hart, verdwijn jij nooit
Want ik weet dat jij daar woont
En altijd zal ik van je houden
Altijd van je houden
Alleen, alleen maar van jou
Lief en leed, ooit gedeeld
Blijft de troost die mij leiden zal
Afscheid maakt wangen nat
Laat dit zo, ik was niet wie je dacht
En altijd zal ik van je houden
Altijd van je houden
Rest mijn hoop, blijf steeds die man
Lief en zacht die z'n dromen beleeft
En bewaar jouw lach die warmte geeft
Maar vooral wens ik dat je liefde vindt
En altijd zal ik van je houden
Altijd van je houden
Altijd zal ik van je houden
Alleen maar van jou
Alleen maar van jou
Alleen maar van jou
Hm hm hm, alleen maar van jou

Kuifje
Composer(s): W. Kerkhof; C. Pons
Performer(s): The Amazing Stroopwafels
Met het dapper hondje Bobby
gaat hij weer op avontuur
Dwars door Tibet, zwarte rotsen, op de maan en door het vuur
Kuifje wint het van de boeven en wurgt en passant een slang
Blikskaters! Pang! Sapristie! Onze Kuifje is niet bang
Kuifje! Kuifje! Kuifje is niet bang
Hij is steeds hetzelfde ventje nu al vijftig jaren lang
Kuifje! Kuifje! Kuifje is niet bang
Zelfs bij windkracht 31 en een huizenhoge zee
Blijft z'n kuifje overeind staan
Was getekend door Hergé
Captain Haddock is weer dronken van de whiskey en de gin
Hij valt bijna uit het plaatje, Kuifje trekt hem er weer in
Goed gedaan hoor, zegt eerst Jansen, 't was een dubbeltje op z'n kant
Goed gedaan hoor, zegt dan Janssen, 't was een stuiver op de rand
Kuifje! Kuifje! Kuifje is niet bang
Hij is steeds hetzelfde ventje nu al vijftig jaren lang
Kuifje! Kuifje! Kuifje is niet bang
Duizend bommen en granaten, ook al zit het soms niet mee
Blijft z'n kuifje overeind staan
Was getekend door Hergé
Kuifje in de zonnetempel, Kuifje in Amerika
Kuifje peddelt door de jungle diep in donker Afrika
Uele uele maliba makase
Op naar nieuwe avonturen reizen wij met Kuifje mee

Tumbas De La Gloria
Tumbas De La Gloria
Performer(s): Fito Paez
Tu amor abrió una herida
porque todo lo que te hace bien
siempre te hace mal
tu amor cambio mi vida como un rayo
para siempre, para lo que fue y será
la bola sobre el piano la mañana aquella
que dejamos de cantar
llego la muerte un día y arraso con todo
todo, todo, todo un vendaval
y fue un fuerte vendaval
algo de vos llega hasta mi
cae la lluvia sobre París
pero me escape hacia otra cuidad
y no sirvió de nada
porque todo el tiempo estabas dando vueltas
y mas vueltas que pegue en la vida para tratar de reaccionar
un tango al mango revoleando la cabeza como un loco
de aquí para allá, de aquí para allá
después vinieron días de misterio y frío,
casi como todos los demás
lo bueno que tenemos dentro es un brillante
es una luz que no dejare escapar jamas
algo de vos llega hasta mi
cuando era pibe tuve un jardín
pero me escape hacia otra ciudad
y no sirvió de nada porque todo el tiempo estaba yo en un mismo lugar
y bajo una misma piel y en la misma ceremonia
yo te pido un favor, que no me dejes caer en las tumbas de la gloria

I Was Telling Him About You
I Was Telling Him About You
Composer(s): Moose Charlap; Don George
Performer(s): Nancy Wilson
and multiple other artists
My arms were around him, my eyes were aglow
The moment was tender, the music was low
But while we were dancing, I think you should know
I was telling him about you
He kept coming closer, the magic was there
He wore an expression that made people stare
It looked so romantic, but Darling, I swear
I was telling him about you
When you passed by, and caught my eye
You didn't say a word
You turned about and walked right out
And the silence was the loudest I've ever heard
Come back to me, Darling, I must make you see
That things aren't always what they seem to be
The boy in my arms meant nothing to me
I was telling him about you

Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely life time
If you want me to I will
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
And you know I will
I will
Ooo, la
