Friends Of Mine
Friends Of Mine
Composer(s): Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies; Chrysanthemums
When we're all in a crowd
And you catch her eye
And then you both smile
I feel so good inside
And when I'm with her
She talks about you
The things that you say
The things that you do
It feels so good to know two people
So in love...
So in love...
They are friends of mine
(Joyce and Terry)
They are friends of mine
(Paul and Molly)
And they've got something
(Liz and Brian)
It's so hard to find
(Joy and David)
They are friends of mine
(Kim and Maggie)
They are friends of mine
(June and Daffy)
And they've got something
(Jean and Jim)
You don't often find
(And Jim and Christine)
She takes your hand
When the world stays outside
That's something to see
That's nothing to hide
And when I feel bad
When people disappoint me
That's when I need you two
To help me believe
It feels so good to know two people
So in love...
So in love...
They are friends of mine
(Joyce and Terry)
They are friends of mine
(Paul and Molly)
And they've got something
(Liz and Brian)
It's so hard to find
(Joy and David)
They are friends of mine

They are friends of mine
(June and Daffy)
And they've got something

The Kid's Last Fight
The Kid's Last Fight
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Frankie Laine; The Statler Brothers
It was Tiger Wilson versus Kid McCoy
In the summer of `ninety-three
Now the Kid was everybody's pride and joy
Just as game as a kid could be
And his darlin' Bess was in the second row
She was prayin' with all her might
Sayin, "Kid, we need that little bungalow
Oh, you've just gotta win tonight"
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
Let's hit him with a left and a right
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
Now the Kid had fever to the very bone
But nobody would ever guess
He was in there fightin' on his heart alone
'Cause he just had to win for Bess
Oh, the Kid was battered, the Kid was floored
But the count never got to ten
Though his brain was reelin' when the people roared
He was up on his feet again
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
Let's hit him with a left and a right
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
Said the Tiger, scowlin', don't you know you're through
I can whip you just like a child
I'm gonna take the fight and take your woman too
When he heard that the Kid went wild
Said the Kid, "For that I'll tear you limb from limb"
And he sprang like an angry colt
He said a punch a-flyin at the Tiger's chin
Knocked him out like a thunderbolt
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
Let's hit him with a left and a right
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
To the crowd that saw it there was little doubt
That the Kid was a champ that night
But the champ would never have another bout
`Twas the fever that won the fight
Gather round, I'm bettin' even money folks
There's a bell soundin' way up high
And the champ is climbin' through the golden ropes
Of the Big Ring up in the sky
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
Let's hit him with a left and a right
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight

Friends In Love
Composer(s): Bill Champlin;
David Foster; Jay Graydon
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis;
The Countdown Singers; Dionne Warwick
Sometimes, lonely nights turn into sunny days
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never knew that you and I
were meant to be in love
Oh, darling, you've always been around
to see me through
How was I to know
you'd make my dreams come true?
Time and time again before, always on our own
but now we're friends in love
Hoping that we'll always
still be friends in love
It's dawn and we're together
Darling, now we got forever and a day
Don't you go away
Remember everytime you cried
you came to me
Much to my surprise, I found someone to see
Even nights of loneliness
you were always there for me
We're friends in love
repeat chorus
You turned around, looked my way
I can't say that it hasn't crossed my mind
I've loved you all along
Ah now we're leavin' yesterday behind
we'll never be alone
We're friends in love
repeat chorus

The Kids Are Alright
((Finnish Version: Sexi On In (Clifters) - 1989))
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release by: The Who - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I got to get away
Bells chime, I know I got to get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I got to get away
Bells chime, I know I got to get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Champs Du Possible
Champs Du Possible
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Devant nous l'an 2000, quelques heures nous séparent
Quel ordre se profile, quel rapport de pouvoir?
Devant nous l'an 2000
Qui aurait pu prévoir
Qu'il ne restait qu'un fil accroché à l'histoire?
Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison
Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme
Les mots d'amour
Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent
Qui m'entourent
Devant nous l'an 2000 et le monde en furie
Le grand ordre mondial et les nations unies
Pas de contre-pouvoir aux dollars qui défilent
Et puis dans les couloirs les banquiers qui se faufilent
Derrière nous 2000 ans et des années lumières
Quelques tyrans sanglants, quelque beaux militaires
Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison
Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme
Les mots d'amour
Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent
Qui m'entourent
Devant nous l'an 2000 et le champ du possible
Il faut revisiter en partant du sensible
Aux artistes il échoit des choses à inventer
Et prendre quelques rêves pour la réalité
Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison
Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme
Les mots d'amour
Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent
Qui m'entourent

I've always wanted to hold you?

Our love for each other will guide us

We always know when it's laid on the line

Well, I know in our heart we agree
We don't have to be one or the other

Ô Sylvie mon amour, de toi je suis fou
Sylvie mon amour, la nuit et le jour
Sylvie mon amour, de toi je suis fou
Sylvie, Sylvie, avec tes yeux si bleus
Sylvie, Sylvie, et de si longs cheveux
Sylvie, Sylvie, tu vas me rendre fou

Et quand parfois, tu danses entre mes bras

Et depuis, mon coeur n'est plus tranquille

Sylvie mon amour, de toi je suis fou
Sylvie, Sylvie, avec des yeux si bleus
Sylvie, Sylvie, et de si longs cheveux
Sylvie, Sylvie, tu vas me rendre fou

Champion At Keeping Them Rolling
Champion At Keeping Them Rolling
Composer(s): Ewan MacColl
Performer(s): The Dubliners; Eric Andersen
I am an old-timer, I travel the road
I sit in me wagon and lumber me load
Me hotel is the jungle, a camp me abode
And I'm well known to Blondie and Mary
Me liquor is diesel oil laced with strong tea
And the old highway code was me first ABC
And I cut me eye teeth on an old AEC
And I'm champion at keeping them rolling
I've sat in the cabin and broiled in the sun
Been snowed up on scaffs on the Manchester run
I've crawled through the fog with me twenty-two ton
Of fish that was stinking like blazes
From London to Glasgow to the Newcastle quay
From Liverpool, Preston and Bristol City
The polons on the road give the thumb sign to me
But I'm champion at keeping them rolling
You may sing of your soldiers and sailors so bold
But there's many and many a hero untold
Who sits at the wheel in the heat and the cold
Day after day without sleeping
So watch out for cops and slow down at the bend
Check all your gauges and watch your big end
And zing with your lights when you pass an old friend
You'll be champion at keeping them rolling
So watch out for cops and slow down at the bend
Check all your gauges and watch your big end
And zing with your lights when you pass an old friend
You'll be champion at keeping them rolling

Friends
Composer(s): Danny Morrison; Johnny Slate
Performer(s): Razzy Bailey
You were always there to talk to
And I was always hanging around
You were always there to pick me up
After love let me down
I never would have made it without you
I almost waited too late to see
That all the time I was leaning on you
You were leaning on me
Friends, that's what we've been
Is friends, through thick and thin
We've been friends, and our love begins
And who makes better lovers than friends
Friends should always be something special
You never know where freindship will lead
You are sailing high on the sea of love
And forever we'll be
(And forever we'll be)
Friends, that's what we've been
Is friends, through thick and thin
We've been friends, and our love begins
And who makes better lovers than friends
Friends, that's what we've been
Is friends, through thick and thin
We've been friends, and our love begins
And who makes better lovers than friends

The Key
The Key
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh
Each time that I hold you, your eyes fill with fear
You can't lose control now, the price is too dear
But love, I have heard you crying in the dark
And the tears on your pillow came bleeding, weeping from your heart
Oh sinner, you're losing all that you had
Your day is in peaces, your night has gone mad
And love cannot touch you, the search has no end
And the one you've forgotten was really your only friend...
Then your soul flies to Heaven
You reach out for me
But the door will not open
You've thrown away the key
No the door will not open
You've thrown away the key...
Oh stranger beware the life that you lead
Is filled with the warnings you can or will not read
Your castle has fallen, it lies in the sand
I heard your voice calling, I thought I felt the brush of your hand...
Oh gambler remember the love that you lend
Will never come back for the game has no ending
The smiler is calling, you turn for the deal
And the aces keep falling with every spin of the wheel
Then you gather your winnings
You're ready to leave
But the door will not open
You've thrown away the key
Oh there's no point in staying
So don't wait to see
For the door will not open
You've thrown away the key...

Champagne
Champagne
Composer(s): Depsa - Mimmo Di Francia - Sergio Iodice
First release by: Peppino Di Capri - 1973
Champagne per brindare a un incontro
con te che già eri di un altro
ricordi c´era stato un invito
stasera si va tutti a casa mia
Così cominciava la festa
e già ti girava la testa
per me non contavano gli altri
seguivo con lo sguardo solo te
Se vuoi ti accompagno se vuoi
la scusa più banale per rimanere soli io e te
e poi gettare via i perché amarti come sei
la prima volta l´ultima
Champagne per un dolce segreto
per noi un amore proibito
ormai resta solo un bicchiere
ed un ricordo da gettare via
Lo so mi guardate lo so
mi sembra una pazzia
brindare solo senza compagnia
ma io, io devo festeggiare
la fine di un amore
cameriere champagne....

Friends
Composer(s): Jon Mark
Performer(s): Mark-Almond
So good to watch my friends dreaming their lives away
So good to watch my friends dreaming all through the day
If I could take them with me, well, you know I would
If I could show them all the things that I've seen, I wish I could
So sad to watch my friends growing older
So sad to watch my friends growing colder
If I could give them all some sunshine you know I would
If I could take them all to Monterrey I wish I could
So sad to watch my friends as they watch me
So sad to hear them talking about the things that used to be
One day perhaps I will buy myself a big boat
And take all my friends away
Maybe one day I will buy myself an island
And there with my friends you know I'll stay
So long, old buddies, I'm going away
So long, old buddies, I'm leaving today
But don't forget all the things that we will do
And I know you'll spare a thought

You took me runnin' up a wrong way street
When we got there, you said, "Can't you read?"
I must be blind, but now and then I see
Another number where mine used to be
You keep on changin' your face, like a Chameleon
You keep on changin' your face, like a Chameleon
I say what's up, and then you say it's down
I see triangles, and you say it's round, round, round
Saw an empty glass; you said it's full
Lord, it's so hot, then you come on cool, cool
You keep on changin' your face, like a Chameleon
You keep on changin' your face, like a Chameleon
You keep on changin' your face, like a Chameleon
You keep on changin' your face, like a Chameleon
