As The Sun Still Burns Away
As The Sun Still Burns Away
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After
A thousand cities in the night
Each one waiting for the light
Ten million people plan their day
As the sun still burns away
As the earth just spins in space
People plan their daily race
As the sun still burns away
Few say "thank you for the day"
All the people in their ties
Forget to look up at the sky
They exist another day
As the sun still burns away
I wonder just how long we’ll last
When the final die is cast
Every day brings forth the time
When the sun forgets to shine

Do What You Wanna Do
Composer(s): John Latouche - Vernon Duke
Performer(s): Diahann Carroll
Do what you wanna do
It's your life and brother it's up to you
Say what you wanna say
Speak your piece and trouble will fly away
Go on and live like a crazy elf
Put your inhibitions up on the shelf
You're sure to be what you wanna be
If you're free to do what you wanna do

As The Raven Flies
As The Raven Flies
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
She'll bring you stories
That just never sound true
She'll bring you secrets
That were never meant for you
And just as you come round
She'll send you back through
She's in love with you
She's in love with you
Darker, darker
Don't let her talk her way
Into you.
Lonely, lonely
You know she's only
No good for you
I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies

As The Night Goes By
As The Night Goes By
Performer(s): Patti Smith
Darlin' come under cover
Another night to discover
Let's slip where senses gather
Let's drift between the sea and sky
As the night goes by
Sands shift
Orchids so strange
In the moonlight
Brushing our faces
Places where love blooms
And dies
While the night goes by
Oh, and the spirits call
Sun upon your shadows fall
Tracing every breath we draw
Come into my dreams
Come into my dreams
Darlin' let's go where the night goes
Let's drift where senses gather
Let's make this night last forever
Into my dreams
Into my dreams
Darlin' let's go
Where the night goes
Time slips
Oh darlin' how it flies
When the night goes by
All through the night
Sirens call
Come to me
I'll come to you
As the night softly
goes by bye
Midnight
Moon on our shoulder
Daybreak
Another one older
Darlin' heavenly blue
Glories fade into view
Let's go
Under the stars
That are beating
Under the moonlight
Stars shoot
Dusk just a whisper
Make this night
Last forever
Oh how I wonder
Where the night goes
Oh Let's wonder
Where the night goes
As the night goes
By bye
By Bye

Do What You Do, Do Well
Do What You Do, Do Well
Composer(s): Ned Miller
First release by: Ned Miller - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Gør Hvad Du Kan (Gustav Winckler)
1966 - Prends La Vie Comme Elle Vient (Sheila)
He couldn’t move a mountain
Or pull down a big oak tree
But my Daddy became a mighty big man
With this simple philosophy
Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well
Sometimes he’d kiss my mother
And hold her tenderly
Then he’d look across the top of her head
Then he’d wink and say to me
Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well
Well he was a man of laughter
But a tragedy came by
The tears ran free and he’d say to me
Never be afraid to cry
Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well
Today I still remember just like yesterday
About a mighty big man
With a mighty big heart
And a mighty few words to say
Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

Do What You Do
Do What You Do
Composer(s): Larry DiTomaso - R. Palladino
Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson
Why don't you do what you do
When you did what you did to me
Love was so good, that it fills up all my needs
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right, go so wrong
My love, sweet love
Why don't you say what you say
When you say what you said anymore
Your eyes couldn't lie, so long goodbye, close the door
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right go so wrong
Tell me something I didn't do
Why did someone else put you through
Did they steal you away like a thief in the night
Love like wings, must take flight
Why don't they play what they played
On the nights you danced with me
Remember the one we made love to endlessly
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right go so wrong

As Tears Go By

Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Andrew Loog Oldham - Keith Richards
First release by: Marianne Faithfull - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by

Hoelang Zou 'T Duren?
Hoelang Zou 'T Duren?
Performer(s): Cees & Marjan
Voordat ik ga slapen zeg ik jou goedenacht, slaap maar gauw
In het donker zie ik zonder licht heel dichtbij jouw gezicht
Heerlijk om te doen alsof je hier bent, laat me nog eens strelen door je haar
Ook al ben je mijlenver van mij, in gedachten ben je heel dichtbij
Hoelang zal het duren voor ik jou weer zie
Om te tijd te doden zing ik deze melodie
Hoelang zal het duren voor je bij me bent
'k Zie je nog steeds voor me zoals ik je heb gekend
'k Houd van jou een foto in m'n hand uit een ver en vreemd land
Lachend kijk je mij in stilte aan en ik denk: hoe zal het gaan
Kon ik nu je stem nog maar eens horen, woorden die ik nimmer meer vergeet
Al je brieven lees ik nog eens door en 't is net alsof ik jou weer hoor
Hoelang zal het duren voor ik jou weer zie
Om te tijd te doden zing ik deze melodie
Hoelang zal het duren voor je bij me bent
'k Zie je nog steeds voor me zoals ik je heb gekend

weg de café's waar da ge'n borrel kreeg
De sterke drank moest feitelijk verdwijnen - dus

as 't efkes kan, ja dan
zuip ik heel alleen die flessen leeg!
Alle drie:
as 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan
as 't efkes kan ... ja dan
zuip ik alles leeg!
Doolittle:
G'hebt as ne man zoveel misère
Dus as het efkes kan
dan profiteer 'k ervan
't zwakke geslacht, dat denkt direkt aan trouwen
ik vraag me af waarom moetda zo vlug
't zwakke geslacht dat denkt direkt aan trouwen
dus as 't efkes kan, ja dan
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
trekt den deze zich op tijd terug
Alle drie:

as 't efkes kan, ja dan
zorgde da'ze niets in 't snuitje krijgt
Alle drie:
As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan ...
As 't efkes kan, een schatje nog d'r bij
As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan ...
As 't efkes, efkes, efkes kan

As 't efkes kan, ... as 't efkes kan

Hij zit altijd bedolven onder schulden
en de belasting heeft hem in de schaar
en hij verzuipt zijn allerlaatste gulden ... dus
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
wordt hem graag een beetje miljonair!
As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan ...
As 't efkes kan een beetje miljonair!

Do What I Have To Do
Do What I Have To Do
Composer(s): Phil Ochs
Performer(s): Phil Ochs; Exene Cervenka
All around this country, trouble in the air
And I hear the voices calling me
Asking do you know and do you care?
Do you know and do you care?
So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?
Don’t want to cause no sorrow
Don’t want to cause no pain
I’m only gonna cause what I have to cause
Until this land is free of shame
’til this land is free of shame
So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?
Only one thing I know, I know we’re not alone
Was a million here before we came
Be a million when we’re gone, we’re gone
Million when we’re gone
So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?
Oh, I’m afraid of trouble, yes I’m afraid of jail
But I’m more afraid, lord, not to try
More afraid of what happens, now, if we fail
What happens now if we fail
So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?

As Strong As Samson
As Strong As Samson
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
Psychiatrists and lawyers destroying mankind
Drivin’ ’em crazy...and stealing ’em blind
Bankers and brokers ruling the world
Storing the silver and hoarding the gold
Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom
Famine and hardship in true living colour
Constant reminders...the plight of our brother
Daily starvation our diet of news
Fed to the teeth with a barrage of views
Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom
Black men and white men, and arabs and jews
Causing congestion and filling the queues
Fighting for freedom the truth and the word
Fighting the war for the end of the world
Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
Weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom

Hello Loretta

Darlin' I knew it was you
Oh please tell me what to do
You gave me the will to go on
As soon as I picked up the phone
The talk, is around that we're through
Oh darlin', tell me what to do
I knew that you'd tell me, they where wrong
As soon as I picked up the phone
Oh no, oh no
I can't believe that it's true
Oh no, oh no
I can't believe that we're through
You tell me it's over and done
You say that you had all your fun
But I can't believe you'll be gone
As soon as I hang up the phone
As soon as I hang up the phone

Do The Walls Come Down
Do The Walls Come Down
Composer(s): Paul Samwell-Smith - Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the wall come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in
Something in my pocket
That was written years ago
In faded ink it says "You are my fire"
Do you think so....
Is it easier for you to say
You never loved me anyway
Or do you hide me in your attic trunk
Like a stowaway…

As Safe As Yesterday Is
As Safe As Yesterday Is
Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie
Can I face tomorrow
With the, with the news you bring me
My soul feels cold like ice
A pinprick makes no pain
Oh, hear me, listen, help me
I felt our thing change
From love to something else
Well, how can it plague my mind
A pinprick makes no pain
Oh, hear me, listen, help me
I shall find myself
But I must have the time
To sow the seeds of something new
Farmer, farmer plough the field
Harvest, harvest all you can
A corn field smells so sweet
A pinprick makes no pain
Hear me, listen, help me
But to follow the weaver of dreams
Behind the sun that knows, it seems that
I'm foresworn--a naked troubadour
I sit at court and I sing
To the Princess of Beauty and Light
She favours me though I'm merely
A minstrel of the night
There on my right
Sits the King with his clowns
He pays to laugh
While his queen lives on downs
And the smile on his brow is the crown
Morning bird sing, fill my ears
With the joy of our sorrow unmasked
Lend me your wings for the sunrays of dawn
Are here to last
I take my leave, as I leave I must take
All I have seen in my dreams--then I wake
And it is as safe as yesterday is

Do The Strand
Do The Strand
Composer(s): Brian Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1973
and multiple other artists
There's a new sensation a fabulous creation
A danceable solution to teenage revolution
Do the strand love when you feel love
It's the new way and that's why we say
Do the strand
Do it on the tables Quaglino's place or Mabel's
Slow and gentle sentimental
All styles served here
Louis Seize he prefer Laissez faire strand
Tired of the tango fed up with fandango
Dance on moonbeams slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans you know what I mean
Do the strand
Had your fill of quadrilles the madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the beguine the samba isn't your scene
They're playing our tune by the pale moon
We're incognito down the Lido
And we like the strand
Arabs at oases Eskimos and Chinese
If you feel blue look through who's who
See la goulue and Nijinsky
Do the strandsky
Weary of the waltz and mashed potato schmaltz
Rhododendron is a nice flower
Evergreen it last forever
But it can't beat strand power
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica
