Something Happened
Something Happened
Composer(s): Brian Wilson - G. Van Cleve
Performer(s): Paul Anka
Something happened
To this heart of mine
When I saw you standing
In the sun
Something happened
And I can't define
How I knew you
Were the one
The world stood still
While my head
Went spinning round
I always will
Thank the Lord
For what I found
Something happened
And my prayers were heard
Now I'm walking in
The sun with you
Something happened
And without a word
I was sure you
Loved me too
The world stood still
While my head
Went spinning round
I always will
Thank the Lord
For what I found
Something happened
And my prayers were heard
Now I'm walking in
The sun with you
Something happened
And without a word
I was sure you
Loved me too
I was sure you
Loved me too
I was sure you
Loved me too

Desiree
Desiree
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
It was the third of June
On that younger day
Well I became a man
At the hands of a girl
Almost twice my age
And she came to me
Just like a morning sun
And it wasn't so much
Her words as such
As the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung
Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of you loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh Desiree
Somehow I knew
I could only have you
Til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet Desiree, you made it right.
Then came the fourth of June
On that sleepless night
Well I tossed and I turned
While the thought of her burned
Up and down my mind
For she was there and gone
Without one regret
But she continues on
Like the words of a song
I could not forget
I could not forget
Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you
Til the morning light
The night was long, the time was right
Do you remember, Desiree

Designer Life
Designer Life
Composer(s): K. Crouch - Kirsty MacColl
Performer(s): Kirsty MacColl
There’s a brand new car in your driveway
And a blonde new girl in your bed
You’ve everything you ever wished for
Happy little bubblehead
And you can’t fill it up with promises
You can’t fill it up with lies
And you can’t fill it up with business lunches
Oh but you can try
Who am I to criticise you?
Just a girl that you despise
Welcome to designer living
This is your designer life
There’s a big house high on a hilltop
And another house in spain
Mummy’s little soldier’s riding on the gravy train
And my you’re looking lovely
May you stay forever young
May you never get a conscience
About the things that you have done
Who am I to criticise you?
Just a girl to twist the knife
Welcome to designer living
This is your designer life
Who am I to criticise you?
Just a girl that you despise
Welcome to designer living
This is your designer life
This is your designer life
You and your designer life

((French Version: Faute À Qui? (by Ivan Cevic) - 2007))
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne - Roy Orbison - Tom Petty - Roger Baeten
Performer(s): Conny Fabry - 1989
Telkens ik in jouw verliefde ogen kijk
Heb ik het gevoel dat jij me nog verleidt
Die blik van jou betovert mij
Ik hoop dat jij steeds bij me blijft
Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het
Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het
Baby
Ik heb soms wel spijt van dingen die ik deed
‘t Was niet slecht bedoeld, ik hoop dat je mij vergeeft
Ik leef voortaan voor jou alleen
Jouw hart en ‘t mijn, ze slaan als één
Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het
Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het
Baby
Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt
Wat je hart verlangt
Je krijgt het
Ik wil je nooit, nee, nooit meer kwijt
Van jou heb ik nog geen dag spijt
Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het
Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het
Baby
Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het
Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het
Baby
Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het

Desierto
Desierto
Performer(s): Fito Paéz
Mi aspecto perverso, mi lívido porno
Mi circulo abierto, mi tacto de oro
Tu espalda es un arpa, tus piernas un coro
que tienen en mente hacérmelo todo
Yo soy ese rayo que cayó del cielo
que vino a quemarte hasta el mismo infierno
Vos sos el espacio que habitan tus miedos
Yo tengo coraje y tengo deseo
Quiero tu lado salvaje, no necesito palabras
quiero sacarme las ropas, que no me sirven de nada
No soy turista del viaje, soy pasajero intranquilo
No me provoques ahora, tengo un cuchillo con filo
Y nada de lo que me digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
Con látigo en mano, me siento indefenso
la rabia que escupo, se la lleva el viento
Hay gente que inspira, que come excremento
hay gente que aspira la coca y el tiempo
Tu punto de vista, tu lado importante
Tu chumbo en la mano, sos un vigilante
Yo soy un espectro, soy un habitante
un cuerpo y un alma, un lucro cesante
Voy a salir a la calle a deshacer mi destino
Que es bueno estar en la lona y equivocar el camino
Podés comprarte una casa, podés comprarte un asilo
Hay cosas que no se compran, vos sabes bien lo que digo
Y nada de lo que me digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
La falsa utopía de un mundo perfecto
se hundió hace unos días
en un baño infecto
Políticamente, decente y correcto
Sos un policía, sos como un insecto
Flotás tranquilo y seguro, alrededor de la mierda
te veo andando derecho, resbalando por izquierda
no existe nadie que sepa, ninguna cosa en la tierra
y si estás libre de dudas, tirá la primera piedra
Y nada de lo que digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto
Desierto... nena, estoy desierto, desierto...

Hallo Hier Ben Ik Dan
Hallo Hier Ben Ik Dan
Composer(s): J. Bral - J. de Nijs
Performer(s): Luk Bral
Ik vond er niks meer aan, 't was beter om maar weg te gaan
Ik voelde mij geroepen tot de vrijheid en 't onbekende
Ik liet al m'n vrienden achter en m'n kalm bestaan
En op een dag ben ik op pad gegaan
En na 'n jaar of twee van zwerven wou ik terug naar huis
Er kwam toch niks dan rotzooi van, toen bleef er mij niet veel meer over
'k Heb alle bruggen en de steden achter mij verbrand
En na m'n tocht ben ik weer in dit land aangeland
Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein
Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder
Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn
Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij
Ik maak een wandeling door 't dorp langs de zilveren rivier
Tot aan de houten brug, ach kijk 't is nog allemaal hetzelfde
Op alle plekjes waar ik speelde blijf ik even staan
Wat zet er mij er toch toe aan om weg te gaan
Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein
Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder
Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn
Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij
't Vetgemeste kalf wordt op m'n vaders erf geslacht
't Hele dorp komt naar 't feest, ik krijg wel honderden cadeautjes
Er wordt gedanst, er wordt gevierd, met heel wat roemers wijn
't Is zo mooi, 't kan niet mooier zijn
Maar dan opeens is 'r de drang om terug op pad te gaan
't Feest is nog in volle gang en ik zit voor me uit te staren
Al die verre horizinten trekken mij weer aan
Ik neem een slok en trek m'n schoenen aan, om weg te gaan
Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein
Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder
Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn
Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij
Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein
Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder
Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn
Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij ...

Desiderata
Desiderata
Composer(s): Max Ehrmann - Werner Ehrmann
Performer(s): Les Crane
and multiple other artists
Go placidly amid the noise and haste
and remember what peace there may be in silence
As far as possible, without surrender
be on good terms with all persons
Speak your truth quietly and clearly
and listen to others
even to the dull and ignorant
they too have their story
Avoid loud and aggressive persons
they are vexations to the spirit
If you compare yourself with others
you may become vain or bitter
for always there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble,
it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time
Exercise caution in your business affairs
for the world is full of trickery
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is
many persons strive for high ideals
and everywhere life is full of heroism
Be yourself
Especially do not feign affection
Neither be cynical about love
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantement
it is as perrenial as the grass
Take kindly the counsel of the years
gracefully surrendering the things of youth
Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness
Beyond a wholesome discipline
be gentle with yourself
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars
you have a right to be here
And whether or not it is clear to you
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should
Therefore be at peace with God
whatever you conceive him to be
And whatever your labors and aspirations
in the noisy confusion of life
keep peace in your soul
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams
it is still a beautiful world
Be cheerful
Strive to be happy

Composer(s): Robert Nyel - Gaby Verlor
First release by: Juliette Gréco - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Oui, mais pas tout de suite, pas trop vite
Sachez me convoiter, me désirer, me captiver
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Mais ne soyez pas comme tous les hommes, trop pressés
Et d'abord, le regard
Tout le temps du prélude
Ne doit pas être rude, ni hagard
Dévorez-moi des yeux
Mais avec retenue
Pour que je m'habitue, peu à peu...
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Oui, mais pas tout de suite, pas trop vite
Sachez m'hypnotiser, m'envelopper, me capturer
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Avec délicatesse, en souplesse, et doigté
Choisissez bien les mots
Dirigez bien vos gestes
Ni trop lents, ni trop lestes, sur ma peau
Voilà, ça y est, je suis
Frémissante et offerte
De votre main experte, allez-y...
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Maintenant tout de suite, allez vite
Sachez me posséder, me consommer, me consumer
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Conduisez-vous en homme
Soyez l'homme... Agissez!
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Et vous... déshabillez-vous!

Blue Brown Eyed Lady
Performer(s): Jack Jersey
Brush the tears from your eyes, Maria, please don't cry
'Cause you know how much I really hate to say goodbye
You and I we had good times together
From an older girl as long
Blue brown-eyed lady
Let's pretend and just hold on
Yo te quiero mucho, Maria, you're my love
You're the only one I keep on thinking of
We can stay a lifetime together, so it seems
Adios, adios, my love, we'll meet again in dreams
So now I'll be far away from you, Maria, cross the sea
Where the memories will always be a part of me
You and I, we fell in love so deeply
Was it right or was it wrong?
Blue brown-eyed lady
Let's pretend and just hold on
Yo te quiero mucho, Maria, you're my love
You're the only one I keep on thinking of
We can stay a lifetime together, so it seems
Adios, adios, my love, we'll meet again in dreams
Yo te quiero mucho, Maria, you're my love
You're the only one I keep on thinking of

Performer(s): Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Some friends of mine and me stayed up all through the night
Rockin' pretty steady til l the sky went light
And I didn't go to bed, didn't go to work
I picked up the telephone, told the boss he was a jerk
Your mama don't like it when you run around with me
But we gotta hip your mama that you gotta live free
Don't need her, don't need school
You don't like your daddy, and you don't like rules
So come baby, let's go, don't you hear the rock n' roll
Playin' on the radio sounds so right
Girl you better grab hold, everybody's gotta know
Anything that's rock n' roll fine
Oh, oh, oh, hold me little baby
I'm a little bit shakin' and a little bit crazy
But I know what I want, I want it right now
While the electric guitar is playin' way up loud
So come baby let's go don't you hear the rock n' roll
Playin' on the radio sounds so right
Girl you better grab hold, everybody's gotta know
Anything that's rock n' roll fine
Fine, fine, it's so fine

Deserted Cities Of The Heart
Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Pete Brown
Performer(s): Cream
and multiple other artists
Upon this street where time has died
The golden treat you never tried
In times of old, in days gone by
If I could catch your dancing eye
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
The street is cold, its trees are gone
The story's told the dark has won
Once we set sail to catch a star
We had to fail, it was too far
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
I felt the wind shout like a drum
You said, "My friend, love's end has come"
It couldn't last, had to stop
You drained it all to the last drop
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
On this dark street the sun is black
The winter life is coming back
On this dark street it's cold inside
There's no retreat from time that's died
It was on the way
On the road to dreams
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yeah
Now my heart's drowned in no love

First Taste Of Love
Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Phil Spector
Performer(s): Ben E. King & The Drifters
Mmm, the very first time you kissed me it was so thrilling
What made it so great was I knew that your heart was willing
I never thought that I'd give love a try
Then you came a-walking by and gave me my first taste of love
Mmm, the very first time you held me it was so nice
I finally found this place they call paradise
Oh, I was such a sad and lonely guy
Then you came a-walking by and gave me my first taste of love
Your lips upon my lips, your arms around my waist
How can I forget that first date ...
Mmm, so keep your head on my shoulder
Stay real close, baby, don't let go
Don't think of tomorrow let's live for tonight
Because I love you so
You see that love light gleaming in my eyes
Swear it's gonna never die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love
Swear it's gonna never die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love
Swear it's gonna never die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love

Desert Rose
Desert Rose
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting
and multiple other artists
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die
And near the flames
The shadows play in the shape of the man’s desire
This desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this
And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing’s as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of hidden hearts and souls
This desert flower
This rare perfurme is the sweet intoxication of love

Desert Pete
Desert Pete
Composer(s): Billy Edd Wheeler
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists
I was travellin' West a buckskin on my way to a cattle run
Cross a little cactus desert under a hot blisterin' sun
I was thirsty down to my toenails, stopped to rest me on a stump
But I tell ya I just couldn't believe it when I saw that water pump
I took it to be a mirage at first, it'll fool a thirsty man
Then I saw a note stuck in a bakin' powder can
"This pump is old", the note began, "but she works so give'r a try"
"I put a new sucker washer in 'er, you may find the leather dry"
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe"
"You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet"
"Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
"Yeah, you'll have to prime the pump, work that handle like there's a fire"
"Under that rock you'll find some water I left in a bitters jar"
"Now there's just enough to prime it with so dontcha go drinkin' first"
"You just pour it in and pump like mad, buddy, you'll quench your thirst"
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe"
"You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet"
"Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
Well I found that jar and I tell ya nothin' was ever prettier to my eye
And I was tempted strong to drink it, cuz that pump looked mighty dry
But the note went on "have faith my friend, there's water down below"
"You got to give until you get-I'm the one who ought to know"
So I poured in the jar and I started pumpin' and I heard a beautiful sound
Of water bubblin' and splashin' up outta that hole in the ground
I took off my shoes and I drunk my fill of that cool refreshing treat
I thank the Lord and thank the pump and I thank old Desert Pete
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe"
"You've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet"
"Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
"Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet"
"Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete"
