Glad And Sorry
Glad And Sorry
Composer(s): Ronnie Lane
Performer(s): Faces; Billy Bragg & The Blokes;
Golden Smog; Ian McLagan; Susan Voelz
Thank you kindly for thinking of me
If I'm not smiling I'm just thinking
Glad and sorry, happy or sad
When all is done and spoken
You're up or I'm down
Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can I
Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can I

Tal Vez
Tal Vez
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Qué hacer cuando ser uno mismo
es cine de terror
qué hacer cuando el deseo
es policía del amor
qué hacer cuando es un éxito
matar al perdedor
qué hacer cuando la máscara
le sobra al impostor
Tal vez huir
huir a la vida
tal vez vivir
vivir en la huida
tal vez
Qué hacer cuando mirar no es ver
aquello que se ve
qué hacer cuando el futuro
es un espejo en la pared.
qué hacer cuando el mercado
de almas es dogma de fe
qué hacer cuando ser libre
es preguntarse: ¿para qué?
Tal vez huir...
Qué hacer cuando los héroes
persiguen un balón
qué hacer cuando es anónima
la carne de cañón
qué hacer cuando los monstruos
se han cargado de razón
qué hacer cuando el latido
ya dispara al corazón
Tal vez huir...

Taking The Chance
Taking The Chance
Composer(s): Graham Russell
Performer(s): Air Supply
You're in-between a page of life you never dreamed
The answer won't come from that magazine
This time it's real and you're not sure just what to feel
Who can I trust to say
Should I give love now should I take love now
I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on
Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near
I needed to make this choice on my own
To let love in when I'm so scared when things begin
Don't ever run away I feel close to you now
You know I need you now
I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
On you
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

Mr. Bad Example
Mr. Bad Example
Composer(s): Jorge Calderon; Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon
I started as an altar boy working at the church
Learning all my holy moves doing some research
Which led me to a cash box labelled "Children's Fund"
I'd leave the change and tuck the bills inside my cumberbund
I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
Laying tackless stripping and housewives by the score
I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane
Auctioned off every last naugahyde divan
I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth
I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross
I'm, intruder in the dirt
I llike to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history
Of course I went to law school and got a law degree
And counselled all my clients to plead insanity
Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald
Where very few are chosen, fewer still are called
Then on to Monte Carlo play chemin de fer
I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute
Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?
Fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
Looking through the want ads sipping Foster's in the shade
I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot
I'm, intruder in the dirt
I llike to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history
I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
See you in the next life, wake me up for meals

Glad All Over
Composer(s): Roy Bennett
Performer(s): Carl Perkins;
and various other artists
Ain't no doubt about it
Ain't no doubt about it, this must be love
One little kiss from you and I feel glad all over
Ooh baby, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
I got goose pimples baby, 'cause it feels so good
When you cuttle me like you do and I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, I'm a real cool pappy and I'm happy
And I'm glad all over
Well your touch goes through me like electric fire
Well, every part of me glows
It don't take much lookin' to see what I got
'Cause it shows, shows!
Come on honey please one more time
Everytime you do, well I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Well I'm tryin' to tell you I'm cookin' inside
When we're cheek to cheek
Temperature's low but my fever is hot
I can't speak, I'm so weak
Come on honey-bunny kiss me one more time
Everytime you do, well I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, hot-dong-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Ooh, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over

Let's come on and get together

Of the days when we were free

Let's come on and get together
Like the sky with the sea
Like the sky with the sea
Just taking some time on

Mr. Apollo
Mr. Apollo
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall; Neil Innes
Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band
I have seen Mr. Apollo uproot trees with his bare hands
I have seen Mr. Apollo's body-building plan
He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
And-- and you can beat up bullies until they cry
"oh lor'!
Oh, crikey let go, you rotter
Don't punish me!"
And you're tough (You're very fit)
Your voice is gruff (It sounds like grit)
You are so strong (and proud of it)
Thanks to Mr. Apollo
Follow Mr. Apollo
Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind
Follow Mr. Apollo
Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind
You know
He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
And-- you can kick the sand right back in their faces
Kick! (laugh)
Chorus
(Chorus In Background)
Yes
Just give me ten years of your life
and I'll trade in that puny flab for living muscle
The physique you deserve!
Strong
Chesty shoulders to hold your shirt up (He can do it for you)
Five years ago, I was a four-stone apology
Today, I am two separate gorillas
No tiresome excercises
No tricks
No unpleasant bending
Wrestle poodles and win!
Play beachball!
Shave your legs (Yes, he can do it for you)
Knock over walls
Tease people!
Brush them aside as though they were matchsticks
Impress your friends

Giving Up
Giving Up
Composer(s): Van McCoy
Performer(s): Donny Hathaway;
and various other artists
Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone
Giving up .... so hard to do
When you still depend upon
Her warm and tender touch
Her kiss and her hug..........her caress
Oooooh that used to mean so much
And bring you happiness
Woooo ooooooooh
Giving up, so hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use
Giving up, so hard to do
I said I've tried
But it just ain't no use
But my light of hope is burning dim
But
But in my heart I pray
That my love and faith in the girl
My love...will bring her back someday
I'm talking 'bout when you really love someone
Whether
Whether she knows or not
She really needs me too
The little girl is all I got
Yes she is
And giving, giving up is hard to do
Giving up
So hard to do
Heey...giving up
So very hard to do
I said I've tried
Hey, but I just can't get loose
Giving up
So hard for me to do
I don't want to lose you
Cause you mean so much to me

Taking My Business Elsewhere
Taking My Business Elsewhere
Composer(s): Richard Thompson
Performer(s): Richard Thompson
If she's not here by now, then I guess she's not coming
If she's not here by now, then I guess she don't care
Oh waiter, I won't waste your time anymore
You've already started to sweep down the floor
And I guess she's not coming, so I'll head for the door
I'll be taking my business elsewhere
It wasn't for me, that spark in her eyes
It wasn't for me, that halo in her hair
When she touched me a lump rose up into my throat
But she must act that way with any old soak
And waiter you don't seem to share in the joke
So I'll be taking my business elsewhere
She called me her fantasy
And boldly she kissed me
I'll never get over the sheer surprise
Of her acting that way
And I'm healing okay
But for the eyes of her...
Oh it's cold in the rain and it's dark and it's sad
And I'll miss her tonight on my lonely back stair
I'm sorry for taking so much of your space
I'll move down the street to some friendlier place
'Cause I guess she's not coming, and you're sick of my face
I'll be taking my business elsewhere

Mr. And Mrs. Used To Be
Mr. And Mrs. Used To Be
Composer(s): Joe Deaton
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
Loretta Lynn; Leon Redbone
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
For oh so long I've loved you I know that you loved me
But time moved on and we grew far apart
It's not the way I wanted but the judge has set you free
Although you're still the first one in my heart
I just don't understand it how people such as we
Could know the love that we have known but somehow disagree
I hope that you'll be happy the same to you from me
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
At first it was like heaven on earth for you and me
But heaven's sure has changed a lot since then
I can't put all the blame on you for some belongs to me
What started out as heaven reached an end
I guess we could have made it but pride stood in our way
For love to live it must have worked we never seemed the same
And so I say goodbye now, kiss the kids for me
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

Giving It All Away
Giving It All Away
Composer(s): David Courtney; Leo Sayer
Performer(s): Roger Daltrey; Leo Sayer
I paid all my dues so
I picked up my shoes
got up and walked away
Oh! I was just a boy
I didn't know how to say?
Worked hard and failed
now all I can say
is I threw it all away
Oh! I was just a boy
giving it all away
Sail away, Sail away
Oooooooh! Well I know better now
I know better now
giving it all away
Oooooooh! Well I know better now
I know better now
giving it all away
Went out in this world
to much for my nerve
only myself to blame
Oh! I was just a boy
nobody else to blame
I've done all I can
now it's out of my hands
stand on my head and say
Oh! I was just a boy
giving it all away
Sail away, Sail away
Ooooooh! Well I know better now
I know better now
giving it all away...
....Just a boy, giving it all away
I was just a boy giving it all away
I was just a boy, giving it all away
Just a boy giving it all away
Just a boy!

Taking a child by the hand
Teaching him just how to stand
So he'll accept what tomorrow may bring
Taking a child for a king
Taking a child in your arms
And as you feel your heart sing
Drying his tears as you're letting him cling
Taking a child for a king
Taking a child to your heart
Soothing away his distress
Softly in silence to soothe and caress
Taking a child to your heart
Taking a child in your arms
And as you feel your heart sing
Tears start to fall as you're letting him cling
Taking a child for a king
Taking a child by the hand
Singing him nursery rhymes
So that he'll sleep at the end of the day
Singing his troubles away
Taking a child to your breast
Soothing away his unrest
And looking on to the future you've planned
Taking a child by the hand
Years on your own, now no longer alone
Taking a child for your own

Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
Voor wie niet weet waar dat ligt
Ergens in het uiterste zuiden van het land
Parel van het Limburgse land
Stad met een eigen gezicht
Door de Romeinen gesticht
En door de Fransen beinvloed als geen
Kom maar, dan gaan we er heen
Kom met me mee en flaneer
Proef die Bourgondische sfeer
Stad van traditie, van wierrook en bier
Altijd het grootste plezier
Stad aan de kolkende Maas
Weinig bezongen, helaas
Stad zoals jij bent, zo is er niet een
Kom maar dan gaan we er heen
Hmmmmm, hmmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmmm
Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
Stad met het oude gezicht
Stokoude straten maar jong nog van hart
Altijd een beetje apart
Stad aan de kolkende Maas
Weinig bezongen helaas
Zo'n zachte G als jij heeft er niet een
Kom maar dan gaan we er heen
Stad als een onuigesproken gedicht
Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
Groeten uit Maastricht
