Do You Remember When?


Do You Remember When? Composer(s): Peter Wolf - Seth Justman Performer(s): J. Geils Band



I overheard someone mention your name
I overheard now my heart feels the pain
I though that I would get over you with time
But here are again you're back in my mind
Time moves slowly since you've gone away (Tick-tock Tick-tock)
Life moves slowly since you've gone away (Tick-tock Tick-tock)

Chorus
Do you - Do you remember when
Our hearts - Our hearts were together then
You're gone - We're out on our own again
My love - Do you remember when
I walk the room where we both used to sit
I walk the room and I refuse to admit
That I'm all alone and our love's been left behind
And now, once again, you are back in my mind
Life's so empty since you've gone away (Tick-tock Tick-tock)
I'm so empty since you've gone away (Tick-tock Tick-tock)

Chorus
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone

Ask Anybody


Ask Anybody
Composer(s): Christine McVie - Steve Winwood
Performer(s): Christine McVie



He's a devil and an angel
Ooh the combination's driving me wild
Drives me wild
He's a saint and he's a sinner
Ooh somehow he acts just like a beginner
I guess he's still a child

Ask anybody
Ask anybody
They'll say I'm going wrong
They say that I should walk out
But that's not what I want
Ask anybody
And they'll all say the same

But that's all right
'Cause I know somehow
We can make it right
And I'm putting up a fight
Somehow, somewhere
He'll change
And we'll try it all over again
Without all the pain

Ask anybody
Ask anybody
They'll say I'm going wrong
They say that I should walk out
But that's not what I want
Ask anybody
And they'll all say the same

Maar In Amerika


Maar In Amerika
((Adapted from: Ma Che Domenica (by Fiammetta) - 1969))
Composer(s): Gino Mescoli - Vito Pallavicini - Tony Rendall
Performer(s): Marc Dex - 1969



Met drie schepen trok Columbus naar Amerika
als ontdekker van de schatten der natuur
Ik zou liever in het bootje zijn met Erica
want het grote avontuur is mij te duur

Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
is 't hippy, happy, hoep en 't is gedaan

Ik zou graag met jou naar 't einde van de wereld gaan
Maar ik jaag al elke dag in wild geraas
daarom bied ik jou dit blauwe hemelbootje aan
Langs riviertjes van de Schelde en de Maas

Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
is 't hippy, happy, hoep en 't is gedaan

Ik wil varen door de lente van de Vlaamse zon
want hier vond ik toch het allerliefst onthaal
naast de bloempjes in de weiden en op jouw japon
zijn woestijnen van de maan maar dor en schraal

Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
is 't hippy, happy, hoep en 't is gedaan

Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
is 't hippy, happy, hoep en 't is gedaan

Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika
daar vlieg je like a monkey naar de maan
Maar in Amerika, maar in Amerika....

Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio?


Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio? Composer(s): Dee Dee Ramone - Johnny Ramone - Joey Ramone First release by: The Ramones - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists



Do you remember Hullabaloo
Upbeat, Shindig and Ed Sullivan too?
Do you remember rock 'n' roll radio?
Do you remember rock 'n' roll radio?

Do you remember Murray the K
Alan Freed, and high energy?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century

Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin' so no one can see
We need change, we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me

Oh-oh
Will you remember Jarry Lee, John Lennon
T-Rex and Ol' Moulty?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century

Ask Any Girl


Ask Any Girl
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes



Being hurt by the one you love
It's a feeling that's hard to hide
But you don't seem to understand why
When I'm alone I sit and cry

Ask any girl
Who's often left alone
All by herself
Neglectfully pushed aside
Set aside like a doll on a shelf
Just ask any girl
Ooh, and you'll understand why
I sit and cry

Ask any girl
Who knows the fear of losing
Someone dear
And she'll say the same thing
It hurts you deep
Makes it hard to sleep
Don't take my word
Ask any girl
Then you'll understand why
I sit and cry

Ask any girl
Who receives no loving affection
And she'll feel as I feel
It's heartaches by the number
Many nights without slumber
Ask any girl
Ooh, and then you'll know why
I sit and cry
I sit and cry

Do You Remember Me?


Do You Remember Me? Composer(s): Nick Perito - Richard B. Matheson Performer(s): Perry Como



Do you remember me
As I remember you?
I know, many years have passed
Yet I still can’t forget the love we shared

Do you ever regret the day
You turned and walked away?
Leaving a dream behind
One I never could find again

Life went on without you
I willed it from my mind!
But still the memory lingers in my heart
Of how we parted

Do you remember why
You had to say good-bye?
Do you every now and then
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me
Wishing we were together, still in love
The way that we used to be!

Do you remember me
Holding you tenderly?
Do you, every now and then
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me
Wishing we were together, still in love
The way that we used to be!

Asiatic Flu


Asiatic Flu
Composer(s): Johnny Dee
Performer(s): Ebe Sneezer & His Epidemics



There's a little bitty bug that's a-goin' all around
He's a-hittin' all the cities and he's hittin' all the towns
Beetles don't claim him and neither do the fleas
Because he makes everybody (sneeze sound)!
I've got that Asiatic Flu

Well he comes slippin' in when you least expect him
Folks are a-takin' those shots to protect them
I got mine just the other day
Now my sneezin's all gone (sneeze sound)!
Still got that Asiatic Flu

He can make feel you so doggone blue
Your eyes will run and your nose will too
Your head will ache and you'll chill and freeze
But most of all you'll sit and sn-(sneeze sound)!
I've got that Asiatic Flu

Now London has a bridge that's known to the world
And evening in Paris will make your hair curl
Russia's always kickin' up a hullabaloo
And Asia's got a bug called the A-(sneeze sound)!
That Asiatic Flu

Now here we were just as fine we as could be
When in walked a bug just as big as you please
You know what I think about this here disease
Give it back to the Asians and let them sn-(sneeze sound)!
Everybody's got that Asiatic Flu
Everybody's got that Asiatic Flu

Do You Really Love Me Too


Do You Really Love Me Too Composer(s): Mark Barkan - Ben Raleigh First release by: Billy Fury - 1963



Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you
Did I go out on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too

You greet me with a smile
What pretty things you say
But when I want your lips
You turn away

Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you
Did I go out on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too

I'm dancing close to you
And someone else cuts in
Why does your face light up
When you're with him

Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you
Did I go out on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too

Have I been just a fool
From the first day we met
Or is it just that you're
Playing hard to get

Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you
Did I go out on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too
Do you really love me too
Do you really love me too
Do you really love me
Come on and love me
Do you really love me too

I Don't Wanna Die In An Air Disaster


I Don't Wanna Die In An Air Disaster
Composer(s): Albert Hammond
Performer(s): Albert Hammond



The engines spit out fire, I'm pushed back in my chair
The pressure give me thrills as we climb up in the air
And I love to watch the clouds and the mountains and the sky
Swish around a cocktail the stewardess brings by

Lord this is the life for me
Lord oh Lord this is the life for me
But I don't wanna die in an air disaster
I don't wanna die on a plane

Well I fishtail through the lanes, and make my tires squeal
Power at my feet and the glory at the weel
And I wind the windows down
Let the wind blow through my hair
God knows where I'm going, but me, I don't care

Lord this is the life for me
Lord oh Lord this is the life for me
But I don't wanna die in a freeway pile-up
I don't wanna die on the road

Well I'm young and I'm pretty, and I wanna stay that way
Wanna be desirable 'till my dying day
I don't wanna be bedridden, an old and bitter sage
Have the nurses saying I'm young for my age

(He's young for his age)

Oh Lord don't let me go that way
Lord oh Lord don't let me go that way
No, don't let me go like a fading chorus
Don't let me fade like a song

Lord have mercy on your son
Lord oh Lord have mercy on me
'Cause I don't wanna die in an air disaster
And I don't wanna die in a freeway pile-up
And I don't wanna go like a fading chorus
And I don't wanna die for no good reason

And I just wanna go on and on

Así Es La Verdad


Así Es La Verdad
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Como una llama que aparta tinieblas
quemando las dudas en los pensamientos
como ese río que nunca se seca
que sigue su cauce arrastrando a las piedras
como esa sangre que cae sin miedo
sangre que limpia paisajes y penas
así es la verdad

Como esa vida que decimos nuestra
y que nos reconoce por su único dueño
como esa vida que es causa primera
y que lucha por serlo a golpes de fuerza
como esa vida que no quiere muertos
como esa vida que no quiere esperas
así es la verdad

Niño en la playa

Hay un niño en la playa
detenido en la orilla
hay un niño que grita
con profunda agonía

Entre mares de infamia
y una arena sin vida
hay un niño que grita
su dolor noche y día

Vissers Van Capri


Vissers Van Capri
Composer(s): Gerhard Winkler; Johnny Steggerda; Klaas van Beek
Performer(s): Orkest Zonder Naam



refr.:
Als bij Capri de rode zon in zee verzinkt
En de maansikkel zilv'rig bleek aan de hemel blinkt
Gaan de vissers van Capri met snelle boten uit
Leggen netten in zee en hopen op rijke buit
Slechts de sterren geleiden hen aan het firmament
Met hun beelden, die elke vissersman reeds lang kent
En van boot tot boot dit oude lied weerklinkt
Hoor van ver hoe het zingt:
Bella Bella Bella Marie
Slechts voor jou zing ik mijn droommelodie
Bella Bella Bella Marie, vergeet mij niet

Golven van de zee dragen het weer mee
En zij komen dansend met hun lichte last
Vanuit het verschiet
Ergens aan het strand, rustend in het zand
Zitten de geliefden stil te luist'ren naar hun lied

refr.

Fly Away Pretty Flamingo


Fly Away Pretty Flamingo
Performer(s): Peggy March



Regen fällt auf den Strand
Kalter Wind weht ins Land
und es scheint, als sei nie Sommer gewesen
Wie verlassen und leer
ist die Welt um mich her
Gestern noch war hier nur Sonnenschein

Fly, fly away
fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos
in den Sonnenschein
fly, fly away
fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos
denn hin zu ihm
würd ich gern mit euch ziehn

All die Sehnsucht in mir
bringt die Bilder von dir
und ich seh dich noch beim Abschied weinen
Doch das Meer kommt zum Strand
und das ist wie ein Pfand
Wann kommst du zurück in dieses Land?

Fly, fly away
fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos
in den Sonnenschein
fly, fly away
fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos
denn hin zu ihm
würd ich gern mit euch ziehn

Do You Mind?


Do You Mind? Composer(s): Lionel Bart Performer(s): Anthony Newley



If I say I love you do you mind
Make an idol of you do you mind
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is
How I think of heaven do you mind

I want to whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear
Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear

So then
If I say I love you do you mind
Make an idol of you do you mind
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is
How I think of heaven do you mind

I want to whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear
Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear

So then
If I say I love you do ya mind baby
Make an idol of you do you mind
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is
How I think of heaven do you mind

Do you mind
Do you mind
Honey do you mind

Asi Es El Amor


Asi Es El Amor
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Deja que se vayan de una vez esas palabras
y no tengas miedo de abrirles la ventana
Que la rabia es necia y no sabe lo que habla
Que venga el silencio y nos devuelva la calma

Deja que se vayan también los pensamientos
Que sin razón alguna le echan leña al fuego
nublando los sentidos, quemándonos por dentro
Ven siéntate a mi lado fue solo un mal momento

Un beso como la primera vez
para olvidar tanta estupidez
pues el sabe que aunque se nuble el cielo
el sol brillará otra vez

Un te quiero así a media voz
Un corazón latiendo por los dos
que dice hay que empezar de nuevo
pues así es el amor

Deja que se vayan de una vez esas miradas
y no tengas miedo de abrirles la ventana
que el rencor es ciego y nos hiere con su espada
dame una sonrisa, aquí no pasa nada

Deja que despierte de nuevo el sentimiento
un sueño una razón para seguir creyendo
Soltemos las amarras dejemos este puerto
ven siéntate a mi lado, fue sólo un mal momento

Un beso como la primera vez
para olvidar tanta estupidez
pues él sabe que aunque ser nuble el cielo
el sol brillará otra vez

Un te quiero así a media voz
Un corazón latiendo por los dos
que dice hay que empezar de nuevo
pues así es el amor

Asi Como Hoy Matan Negros


Asi Como Hoy Matan Negros
Composer(s): Pablo Neruda - Sergio Ortega
Performer(s): Victor Jara



Asi como hoy matan negros
antes fueron mexicanos
asi matando chilenos
nicaraguenses, peruanos
se desataban los gringos
con instintos inhumanos

Quien les disputa el terreno
y quien de frente los reta
es un bandido chileno
es nuestro Joaquin Murieta

Un dia por la vereda
paso un caballo de seda
ahora por los caminos
galopa nuestro destino
y como dos amapolas
se encendieron sus pistolas

Quien les disputa el terreno
y quien de frente los reta
es un bandido chileno
es nuestro Joaquin Murieta

Ashes To Ashes


Ashes To Ashes
Composer(s): David Bowie
First release by: David Bowie - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
