Sprakeloos


Sprakeloos
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre



Oh wat moet ik nu beginnen
Want dit duurt alweer een tijd
M'n gevoelens houd ik binnen
Anders raak ik die nog kwijt

Maar lieverd, als je voor me staat
Dan gaat m'n hart tekeer
Het zweet staat in m'n handen
En het gebeurt me telkens weer

Want ik ben sprakeloos
Als ik bij je ben, als ik jou weer zie
Sprakeloos
Hopeloos, radeloos

Hoe heeft het ooit zover kunnen komen
Want ik ken je al zolang
Je neemt bezit van al mijn dromen
Ja, deze liefde maakt me bang

Je slaat je arm om m'n schouder
En geeft een zoen op mijn wang
Maar ik ben van je gaan houden
Ik heb me niet meer in bedwang

Want ik ben sprakeloos
Als ik bij je ben, als ik jou weer zie
Sprakeloos
Hopeloos, radeloos
Sprakeloos
Als ik in je ogen kijk

En in m'n dromen ben ik vrij
(in m'n dromen ben ik vrij)
Maar als ik 's nachts wakker word
Ben ik hopeloos sprakeloos

Want ik ben sprakeloos
Als ik bij je ben, als ik jou weer zie
Sprakeloos
Hopeloos, radeloos
Sprakeloos
Als ik in je ogen kijk
Sprakeloos
Hopeloos hou ik van jou
Sprakeloos
Als ik in je ogen kijk
Ben ik sprakeloos

Hear The Wind Howl


Hear The Wind Howl
Composer(s): Leo Kottke
Performer(s): Leo Kottke



Hear the Wind Howl
Some cloudy day the sun won't shine my blues away
And all I've lived for seems far away
Some cloudy day

Hear the wind howl
Hear the wind

You can't go back, it's not the same
Things have changed
While I counted hours and time remained
And time remained

Watch the sun rise
Watch the sun rise

Some cloudy day the sun won't shine my blues away
And all I've lived for seems far away
Some cloudy day

Hear the wind howl
Hear the wind howl

Dime (Beth)


Dime
First performance by: Beth - 2003



Mar en calma, en un atardecer
Y todo vuelve a ser como era entonces
Juego con la arena entre mis pies
Dibujando sin querer tu nombre

Cuántas veces te llamé en la noche
Cuántas veces te busqué
Por mis recuerdos yo vuelvo y no pierdo la fe

Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida
Vamos a olvidar el ayer y a comenzar otra vez
Sin mentiras
Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida

Me han contado que tu estás igual
y que te sientes mal como yo
No permitas que el orgullo sea
quién decida por los dos

Porque tu sabes que te quiero
y todo lo que dije no es verdad
Deja tus miedos, podemos si quieres
Volverlo a intentar

Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida
Vamos a olvidar el ayer y a comenzar otra vez
Sin mentiras
Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida

Que tu y yo sabemos
Que no debemos seguir así
Vuelve junto a mí

Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida
Vamos a olvidar el ayer y a comenzar otra vez
Sin mentiras
Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida

Hear My Song, Violetta


Hear My Song, Violetta
Composer(s): Buddy Bernie; Bob Emmerich;
Othmar Klose; Rudolph Lukesch
Performer(s): Josef Locke;
and various other artists



Hear my song, Violetta
Hear my song beneath the moon
Come with me in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

Serenade across the water

Can't you hear it soft and low
A tale of love that lovers used to sing
Long ago

Hear my song, in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

The moon on an old lagoon
A mandolin softly is played
And someone in love, `neath a window
Singing this serenade

Serenade across the water

Can't you hear it soft and low
A tale of love that lovers used to sing
Long ago

Hear my song, in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

S'posin'


S'posin'
Composer(s): Paul Denniker - Andy Razaf
Performer(s): Dean Martin



S'posing I should fall in love with you
Do you think that you could love me too?
S'posing I should hold you and caress you
Would it impress you, or distress you

S'posing I should say "for you I yearn"
Would you think I'm speaking out of turn?
S'posing I declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posing I'm in love with you

S'posing I should say "for you I yearn"
Would you think I'm speaking out of turn?
S'posing I declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posing, I'm not s'posing
I'm not s'posing I'm in love with you

Hear me call on you
Hear me calling
Hear me call on you
If you don't come soon

Hear me calling
Hear me calling loud
Hear me calling
Hear me calling loud
If you don't come soon
I'll be wearing a shroud

Let's Get Happy
Composer(s): Ralph Siegel - Bernd Meinunger
First performance by: Lou - 2003



(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
Whoah...

Last night in the discotheque
All my friends seemed to look and wait
Just lookin' for trouble
'Cause everything's drivin' 'em mad
(Yeah, drivin' 'em mad)

No fun, not a smilin' face
And down at heart in so many ways
Hey, baby, what's on?
And why's everyone so sad?

Let's get happy and let's be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let's get happy and let's be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day

(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
Yeah, yeah
(On that day, everything will be okay)

See the girl with the high heel shoes
I wanna know why she's got the blues
Don't ya stop a-rockin'
And get the ball a-rollin' tonight
(Yeah, get the ball a-rollin' tonight)

Everyone's kinda cool and stressed
Gotta move, or you'll miss the best
Whatever you do now
You just gotta do it right

Let's get happy and let's be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let's get happy and let's be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day

(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
On a brand new day
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
We will be on our way
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
And we'll have lots of fun together
(That's right)

Let's get happy and let's be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let's get happy and let's be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day

(Let's stop feelin' sad and down)
(Let's just take off from the ground)
Whoah... let's get happy

Healing Time


Healing Time
Composer(s): Michael Allen; Gordon Chambers; Darryl McClary
Performer(s): Stephanie Mills



I don't wanna go
But I can't stay
So I'm making up the bed where we used to lay
Take my pictures from the frame
And don't call my name
And don't come around
It's such a shame
But time heals all pain
And I'll be ok
I love you from afar
And you'll do the same

(You go your way and i'll go mine)
(It's healing time)
It'll be bad for you, but good for me
The healing time
Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be
But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie
It' s healing time

Trying to be friends sometimes don't work
The closer we get, the more it hurts
So just give back my gifts
And please don't say please
And don't, don't, don't play that song
The one called 'on bended knees'
Just say goodbye
Don't let me see you cry
Maybe we'll meet again under some other sky

(You go your way and I'll go mine)
(It's healing time)
(It'll be bad for you, but good for me)
(The healing time) The healing time
(Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be)
(But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie)
(It' s healing time, healing time)

Don't look for no words
There's nothing to say
You can't change my mind
'Cause there ain't no way
Please no last kiss, I gave one last try
We can't be friends, Lord knows we've tried

(You go your way and i'll go mine)
(It's healing time)
(It'll be bad for you, but good for me)
(The healing time) It's healing time
(Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be)
Never, ever, ever, ever be
(But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie)
(It' s healing time, healing time) No-woh
(You go your way and i'll go mine) Go your way
(It's healing time) And I'll go mine
(It'll be bad for you, but good for me) Bad for you
(The healing time)
(Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be)
Will never, ever be
(But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie)
It' s healing time, healing time

Go your way, I'll go mine
Never be, never be, never be, no, no more, babe
Bye-bye, baby, bye- bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
I've got to go
Think I held on too long.........

Spoonful


Spoonful
Composer(s): Willie Dixon
First release by: Howlin' Wolf - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



Could fill spoons full of diamonds
Could fill spoons full of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Will satisfy my soul

Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Could fill spoons full of coffee
Could fill spoons full of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Is that enough for me?

Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Could fill spoons full of water
Save them from the desert sands
But a little spoon of your forty-five
Saved you from another man

Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Give me your hand, give me your smile
Give me your kiss, baby, please just be mine
I need your love, I need you tonight

All of my life

I'm feeling alive when you're looking at me

I'm feeling alive when you call out my name
So please tell me, baby, that you feel the same

I'm feeling alive when you stand close to me
I'm feeling alive when you call out my name
(I'm feeling... I'm feeling alive)
So please tell me, baby, that you feel the same

I'm feeling alive when you're looking at me
(I feel so alive)
I'm feeling alive when you stand close to me
I'm feeling alive when you call out my name
(You call out my name)
So please tell me, baby, that you feel the same

(Feeling... feeling alive)

Headlines


Headlines
Composer(s): Alice Cooper; Davey Johnstone; Fred Mandel
Performer(s): Alice Cooper



Do a show
Save a child
Raise a million bucks
That'll last a while
Fight at parties
Buy a horse
Lose a couple
Win that big divorce
I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines

Saw my chance
Made my break
Took the biggest float
In the Rose parade
Got jailed
No disgrace
A hundred million people
Saw my face

Called a conference
With the press
Announced my marriage plans
In a wedding dress
Climb a building
At six-below
On New Year's Eve
Without a stitch of clothes

I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines
As long as they spell my name right
I hope that they catch my best side

Popped out
From a cake
At the President's ball
What a big mistake
Fifty guns
Aimed at me
I was nearly killed
But what publicity
Nominated
Something big
Stole the hottest scene
Says the Globe And Trib
Porno movie
Comes to light
But I was starving then
So that's alright

I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines

As long as the spell my name right
Hope that they catch my best side
Keep my sidewalk status star bright
Feel free to walk on me tonight
Just don't spit on me

Headlines, headlines
Headlines, headlines
Headlines, headlines
Headlines

Spooky


Spooky
(Finnish Version: Outo Tapa - 1984)
Composer(s): Harry Middlebrooks - Mike Shapiro - Buddy Buie - James Cobb
First release by: Mike Sharpe - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



In the cool of the evening when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and see a movie
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, "All right"
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky!

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I'll propose... on Halloween
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Headaches


Headaches
Composer(s): Hoffman; Klenner
Performer(s): Allan Sherman



Headaches, headaches
Aspirin commercials give me headaches
Just when I'm feeling chipper as you please
That's when they show me all my sinus cavities
Headaches, headaches
Those sponsors don't care how my head aches
See that announcer, he looks so fine
His head should ache like mine
Headaches, headaches
Those pounding hammers give me headaches
They say it once and then they say again
Oh tension, pressure, pain, oh tension pressure pain
Headaches, headaches
Those sponsors love it when my head aches
Mother, don't hand me those pills from the shelf
I'd rather do it myself
(Mommy, can't you keep Daddy's car out of the driveway?!)
Headaches, headaches
Those sponsors love it when my head aches
There is one remedy that's unsurpassed
And their commercials give me headaches "fast fast fast"
Headaches, headaches
Aspirin commercials give me headaches
Today I swallowed the best cure yet
I ate my TV set

Deixa-Me Sonhar (Só Mais Uma Vez)


Deixa-Me Sonhar (Só Mais Uma Vez)
First performance by: Rita Guerra - 2003



Leva o sol, leva o mar
Leva contigo a luz do meu luar
Leva o amanhecer
Do céu, leva a cor
Deixa o anoitecer, e a minha dor

Mas quando fores...

Deixa-me sonhar
Só mais uma vez
Pensar que vais ficar sempre junto a mim
Faz-me acreditar
Só mais uma vez
Que eu ainda sou tudo para ti

Leva o ar que eu respiro
Deixa a minha vida
Sem sentido...
Leva o meu sorriso, o meu coração
Leva o meu destino, na tua mão

E quando fores...

Deixa-me sonhar
Só mais uma vez
Pensar que vais ficar sempre junto a mim
Fas-me acreditar
Só mais uma vez
Que eu ainda sou tudo para ti

E se o tempo não passar
Nos teus braços é onde eu quero ficar

Deixa-me sonhar
Só mais uma vez
Pensar que vais ficar sempre junto a mim
Faz-me acreditar
Só mais uma vez
Que eu ainda sou tudo para ti

Head Over Heels


Head Over Heels
Composer(s): Roland Orzabal; Curt Smith
Performer(s): Tears For Fears



I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away

I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away

And it's my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover

Splish Splash, I was taking a bath
Long about a saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxing in the tub
Thinking everything was alright

Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door, and then
Splish, Splash! I jumped back in the bath
Well how was I to know there was a party going on

They was a-splishing and a-splashing
Reelin' with the feelin', moving and a-grooving
Rocking and a-rolling, yeah!

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancing on my living room rug, yeah!
Flip flop, they was doing the bop
All the teens had the dancing bug

There was lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too!
A-well-a, Splish Splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancing shoes on, yay...

Head Held High


Head Held High
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground;
and various other artists



My mama told me, ever since I was seven
Hold your head up high
My parents toldmy ever since I was eleven
Hold your head up high
They said the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head high
Oh, just like I figured, they’re always disfigured
With their heads up high

Now I’m older, I’m getting so much bolder
With my head up high
Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
Since your head’s up high, baby
Oh, just like I figured
You know, they was disfigured
Hold your head up high
You know, they says the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head high, boy

Ever since I was a baby on my mama’s knee
Oh, just listened to what everybody told me
Oh yes I did. but still the answer was to become a dancer
And hold your head high
But, just like I figured, they’re always disfigured
They hold their heads up high, watch out!

Do the dog! oh, watch out!

And now I’m older, they say I’m so much bolder
Got your head up high
Oh, and the answer was, hey, to become a dancer
Head up high
Well, but just like I figured, they’re always disfigured
They got their heads up high
But the answer was, now, boy, to become a dancer
With your head up high

Head up high
Head up high...
