You And Me Against The World
You And Me Against The World
Composer(s): Kenny Ascher; Paul Williams
Performer(s): Helen Reddy;
and various other artists
You and me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world
When all the others turn their backs and walked away
You can count on me to stay
Remember when the circus came to town
How you were frightened by the clown
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for
You and me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world
And for all the times we've cried I always felt that
God was on our side
And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
Of you and me against the world

Let's have fun, fun, fun
You son of a gun of a gun, take your stand
Form a line, oh, oh
Come on, let's go
Hey, leader, strike up the band!
There is work to be done, to be done
Let's have fun, fun, fun
Come on, son of a gun of a gun, take your stand
Form a line, oh, oh
Come on, let's go
Hey, Mr. Leader
Hey, Mr. Leader
Please strike up the band!

Strike The Bell Second Mate
Strike The Bell Second Mate
(Traditional)
Down on the quarter deck and walking about
There is the second mate so steady and so stout
What he is a-thinkin' of he doesn't know himself
And we wish that he would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
Strike the bell second mate, let us go below
Look ya well to windward you can see it's gonna blow
Look at the glass, you can see it has fell
Oh we wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
Down on the main deck and workin' at the pumps
There is the starboard watch just longing for their bunks
Look out to windward, and see a great swell
And we wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
Forward on the forecastle head and keepin' sharp lookout
Yonder Johnson standin', a-longin' fer to shout
Lights' a-burnin' bright sir and everything is well
And he's wishin' that the second mate would strike, strike the bell
Aft at the wheelhouse old Anderson stands
Graspin' at the helm with his frostbitten hands
Lookin' at the compass through the course is clear as hell
And he's wishin' that the second mate would strike, strike the bell
Aft on the quarter deck our gallant captain stands
Starin' out to sea with a spyglass in his hand
What he is a-thinkin' of we know very well
He's thinkin' more of shortenin' sail than strikin' the bell

You And Me (Charles Aznavour)
You And Me
((French Version: Toi Et Moi (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jean-Pierre Bourtayre - Jacques Revaux
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
You and me
Two hearts that melt and flow into infinity
We leave the world we know to voyage breathlessly
Our bed, the sea
And in its waves, just you and me
You and me
Free of wrong and right of old taboos and lies
And in our endless night
Come dreams and whispered sighs
Caressingly, to you and me
Through deserted hopes that we must hold anew
Love has filled our emptiness and waiting
The unprotected children that we were before
Turned into you and me
Reborn in love once more
Carry me beyond all doubt and fears
Of passion's fantasy
To God created spirits, desire's destiny
Made heavenly for you and me
Aahhh-aahh-aahh
When I had no faith, you taught me how to care
Giving me a second chance of living
Most words are only words
But your's become my prayer
My body and my soul, you echo everywhere
Pleasure me, until the early morning light
Make love to me
I hear your every turn
So all my days can be
Drowned in the sea, aahhhh, you and me

Baby's Awake Now
Baby's Awake Now
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Lee Wiley
Out of the ether and into the air Baby opens her eyes and cries
"Let the party start again!"
Powders her nose and fixes her hair, sees how the landscape lies and sighs
"Bring your baby all the men!"
And then, out where the wild gardenias grow
Baby has got her chance
So let her dance!
Baby's awake now!
Baby can do things!
Ready to shake her chassis
Baby has new springs!
Baby can learn how
Baby can dance rings round ev'ry other lassie
Baby can do things!
Her deportment isn't so mild
Mammy, get your wandering wild child!
Beat on the big drum!
She's making her bow, burn up the baby's cradle!
Baby's awake now!

Strike Another Match
Strike Another Match
From the Musical Show "Wedding In Paris" (1954)
Composer(s): Hans May - Sonny Miller
Performer(s): Anton Walbrook
I have tried to use a modicum of philosophy
With the ladies who've considered me quite a catch
For I've always learned before you burn your fingers
Strike another match!
When I had a funny feeling that I was weakening
And I thought I might be softening in the thatch
I recall I learned before you burn your fingers
Strike another match!
The women are the hunters now
And men their lawful prey
But I'm the one that took the bait
And always got away
I'll admit I've had to struggle to keep my sanity
When they dimmed the light and quietly slid the latch
But I've always learned before you burn your fingers
Light another match!

Ozzie Nelson; Lynn Taylor; Martha Tilton
You and I know love has found us
Why does my heart beat now?
Why is the world sweet now?

There is a glow all around us
Like a new dawn breaking
Is it romance waking?
You and I know
Oh! This ecstasy, that makes me cry
It will stay with me until I die
Easy to see we were fated never to be lonely
Love such as this only you and I know

You And I
Composer(s): Klaus Meine
Performer(s): Scorpions
I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
There's something in your eyes that is sayin' tonight
I'm not a child anymore, life has opened the door
To a new exciting life
I lose control when I'm close to you babe
I lose control don't look at me like this
There's something in your eyes, is this love at first sight
Like a flower that grows, life just wants you to know
All the secrets of life
It's all written down in your lifelines
It's written down inside your heart
You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place
Where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now
Forever and a day
I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
There's something in your eyes that is sayin' tonight
I'm so curious for more just like never before
In my innocent life
It's all written down in your lifelines
It's written down inside your heart
You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place
Where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now
Forever and a day
Time stands still
When days of innocence are falling for the night
I love you girl I always will
I swear I'm there for you till the day I'll die

Strike
Strike
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Des british aux niakouées jusqu'aux filles de Perse
J'ai tiré les plus belles filles de la terre
Hélas l'amour est délétère
Comme l'éther et les popers
De mon buncoeur j'ai abaissé la herse
Sarrasine je crains les invasions la der
Des ders dur dur affaire
Classée à la solitude aujourd'hui je m'exerce
Après avoir connu des fortunes diverses
Blondes brunettes red heads platines châtain clair
En moi-même je me dis qu'il serait peut-être préférable de faire
L'amour en allongeant quelques sesterces
De Jane au gin peut-être est-ce l'inverse
Je me suis pété la gueule au ginger
Ale sait qu'au bout du compte je m'en irai amer
Empoisonné tel le roi de Perse Artaxerxès

You And I (Shirley Bassey)
You And I
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey
You and I will travel far together
We'll pursue our little star together
We'll be happy as we are together
We may never get to heaven
But it's heaven, at least to try
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I
You and I, You and I, ...

Alfie, The Christmas Tree
Alfie, The Christmas Tree
Composer(s): John Denver - Lee Holdridge
Performer(s): John Denver
Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree
Who just didn't want to change the show
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels
He liked icicles and snow
He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears
And critters and creatures that crawl
Why, bugs were some of his very best friends
Spiders and ants an' all
Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On a vision of twinkling lights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
And a thousand other delights
And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer
And a jolly old man in a sleigh
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things
And a story of Christmas Day
Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas alright
He was full of Christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year
To him it was more than a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way
You see, some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of Santa Claus
They've never heard the story of the Son of God
That made Alfie pause
Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
Or the brotherhood of man
Or know how to love, or know how to give
If they can't, no one can
You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you
So when you're at Christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if I'd ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there too

You And I
Composer(s): Rick James; Art Stewart
Performer(s): Rick James
You and I
We fit together like a glove on hand
That's right
Don't you know
That I would gladly take you anywhere
You wanted to go
You and me
We are as close as three-part harmony
Wouldn't you agree
And if by chance
Our romance ended it would surely be
The end of me
Some people might say I'm infatuated
But I don't care
'Cause they really don't know
They'll never see of hear
The things I do with you
So far as I'm concerned
They all can go to hell
Woe, baby yeah
Now sing it, sugar
Do-do-do (etc.)
You and I
We'll be together til the six is nine
That's right
When you need me
I never hesitate, I always come
It's so much fun, yeah
You and I
Although we're poor
Our love has greater wealth
Than Hughes himself
And if by chance
There is an afterlife when we die
Hope it's with you and I
Repeat I
Sing it do, do, do (etc)
You and I
You and me
We'll be together eternally
Everybody on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Can you sing it on time
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Dance and shout
Funk yourself right out
Funk yourself right out
Funk yourself right out
We laid this groove
So you can move
On the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody shake your body down

Stressé
Stressé
Composer(s): Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
C'est pas tout ça mais faut qu'on se cause
Mais t'as pas l'temps faut que tu t'sauves
T'es pressée
T'es stressée
Tu passes devant moi, tu ne m'vois pas
J'te parle, tu ne m'écoutes même pas
Oppressée
T'es stressée
Y a pas que les grands de ce Monde
Qui flippent, qui sentent pas les ondes
Le stress a atteint toutes les couches de la Société
Y a peut-être encore dans le Tiers-Monde
Une famine par seconde
Mais nous on s'inquiète de grossir, faut nous materner
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
Cassé casse-tête guitare vidéo
Tue ta télé, toi tu es claustro
Je veux t'aimer
Sans stresser
On n'explique pas l'inexplicable
Comme j'sais pas faire tourner les tables
J'vais t'quitter
J'vais t'quitter
Y a pas que les grands de ce Monde
Qui flippent, qui sentent pas les ondes
Le stress a atteint toutes les couches de la Société
De la princesse au plombier
Gratte pas, le vernis peut craquer
Le Monde a besoin d'un lifting pour décompresser
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé

You And I (Queen)
You And I
Composer(s): John Deacon
Performer(s): Queen
Music is playing in the darkness
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering
My heart's jittering
Just you and I
Not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's sunny and bright
No No No
Come tomorrow
Cos then we'll be waiting for the moonlight
We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don't mean a thing
When you're by my side
Please stay a while
You know I never could foresee the future years
You know I never could see
where life was leading me
But will we be together for ever
What will be my love, can't you see that I just don't know
No no not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's gonna be alright
Wait and see
If tomorrow
We'll be as happy as we're feeling tonight
We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where to lie
No more questions now
Let's enjoy tonight
Just you and I
Just you and I

Streets Of London
Streets Of London
Composer(s): Ralph McTell
First release by: Ralph McTell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1973 - Straßen Unserer Stadt
2001 - Op Straat
Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hands held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
The same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
So how can you tell me that you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
In our city winter the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which doesn't care
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
