Analyse Time


Analyse Time
Composer(s): Rossi - Brown
Performer(s): Status Quo



I still remember when I would be the only one
I used to think that I'd be a darlin' boy
Never worried 'bout bad times, only wanted those good times

And then it took a nasty turn and you became the strangest one
And now I look back, I didn't help at all
Falling over my own feet, always taking that back seat, oh no

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again

We had our bad days but never thought that we would fall
Into the same trap that other people do
We were gonna be perfect, we were gonna be magic

Before we knew it there were cracks appearing in the photograph
It was a time bomb, a-ticking all the while
We were gonna be lovers, now we're running for cover, oh no

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again?

Calm down and get your feet on the ground
Come round, we're on the same side of town
Fall down, d'you want to call it an end
Hold on, it's analyse time again

We gotta put it on the straight and narrow 'fore we fall apart
We gotta get down and do it on our own
Never worried 'bout bad times, always looking at good times, good times

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? so talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again?
Calm down and get your feet on the ground
Come round, we're on the same side of town
Fall down, d'you want to call it an end
Hold on, it's analyse time again

Yeah, analyse time again
It's analyse time again
It's analyse time again
It's analyse time again

Dancing In The Moonlight


Dancing In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Sherman Kelly
Performer(s): King Harvest



We get it on most every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose they keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing In The Dark


Dancing In The Dark
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and various other artists



Dancing in the dark
Till the tune end
We’re dancing in the dark
And it soon ends
We’re waltzing in the wonder
Of why we’re here
Time hurries by
We’re here and gone
Looking for the light
Of a new love
To brighten up the night
I have you to love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What though love is old?
What though song is old?
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Make yours part of mine
Dear one, tell me that we’re one!
Dancing in the dark!

Anagram


Anagram
Composer(s): Geddy Lee - Alex Lifeson - Neil Peart
Performer(s): Rush



There's a snake coming out of the darkness
Parade from paradise
End the need for eden
Chase the dreams of merchandise

There is tic and toc in atomic
Leaders make a deal
The cosmic is largely comic
A con they couldn't conceal

There is no safe seat at the feast
Take your best stab at the beast
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Raise the art to resistance
Danger dare to be grand
Pride reduced to humble pie
Diamonds down to sand

Take heart from earth and weather
The brightness of new birth
Take heart from the harvest
Shave the harvest from the earth

Reasoning is partly insane
Image just an eyeless game
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Miracles will have their claimers
More will bow to Rome
He and she are in the house
But there's only me at home

Rose is a rose of splendor
Posed to respond in the end
Lonely things like nights,
I find, end finer with a friend

I hear in the rate of her heart
A tear in the heat of the art
The night turns thin
The saint turns to sin

Dancing Girls


Dancing Girls
Composer(s): Nick Kershaw
Performer(s): Nik Kershaw



Cold and lonely, tired and bored
Just like the day before
Missing out on life's reward
Of that you an be sure

So bring on the dancing girls
Take off the cold night and the sad day
Bring on the dancing girls
Take off the twilight and the skies so grey

And they dance for him inside his head

Soul destroyed by life's demands
With nothing to believe
Our hero sits with head in hands
And heart upon his sleeve

So bring on the dancing girls
Take off the cold night and the sad day

Bring on the dancing girls
Bring on the girls to dance his blues away

And they danced for him inside his head

Angels watching from above
While the Sandman fills your eyes
With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
Sweet dreams, my love and goodnight

Dancing Days
Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Originally performed by: Led Zeppelin
Covered by various other artists



Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident
In the way you're wearing your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Dude!

You told your mamma I'd get you home
But you didn't say that I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart heart heart
You'll be my only
my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
You are my flower, you are my power baby
You are my woman who knows

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only yes, my one and only yes
Is that the way it should start?
I know it is yeah!

Ana, La Dulce


Ana, La Dulce
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Dulce Ana, con tan sólo 16
Dulce Ana, tiempo de burlar la ley
Oh oh oh, no hay escuela esta mañana
no hay caricias en la cama
Sólo tu dulce cara contra la ventana
y digo oh oh oh
Descalza en el corredor
papá y mamá no hacen más el amor
por eso quién tiró
la naranja contra el pizarrón

Dulce Ana, rock`n roll en un cassette
Dulce Ana, un espejo y tu sostén
Oh, oh, oh
Papá golpeando en la mesa
su puño vuelca la cerveza
sobre un dibujo obsceno
en tu cuaderno bueno
y digo oh oh oh
saliste corriendo a la calle
llevando tiza de color
y dibujaste en el muro
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad

Ah..! Ana adónde vas
toda pintada y ese vestido
Ah..! Ana a qué hora llegas
quién es el tipo del clarinete?

Oh oh oh
un bolsón y una manzana
un amigo en la ventana
Janis Joplin y Mozart
abriendo la cama
y digo oh oh oh
la nena está dejando casa
hagan algo por favor
una puerta cerró
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad

Dulce Ana, dulce Ana
por eso quién tiró
la naranja contra el pizarrón
Dulce Ana, dulce Ana
un sol, un tren
y el rostro de la felicidad

Dancing Bear


Dancing Bear
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas;
Avalon Rising; Broceliande



I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep
All black from head to foot
From climbing in them chimneys
And cleaning out that soot
With a broom and ladder and pail
The darkened walls I scale
And far..and high...
I see a patch of sky

I'd rather be the gypsy
(I'd rather be the gypsy)
Whose camped at the edge of town
(Camped at the edge of town)
The one who has the dancing bear
That follows him around
And he lifts his big foot up
He puts his big foot down
And bows...and twirls...
And dances `round and `round

I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream
Bound upon a magic ship for a land I'd never seen
And the moon she filled our sails
And the stars they steered out course
And on our bow there was a golden horse

The queen eats fruit and candy; the bishop nuts and cheese
And when I am a grown man, I'll taste just what I please
The honey from the bee, the shellfish from the sea
The earth, the wind, a girl, someone to share these things with me

I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep...
(I'd rather be the gypsy ...)
(I dreamed I was a cabin boy ...)

Stuck On You (Ray Stevens)


Stuck On You
Composer(s): Ray Stevens
Performer(s): Ray Stevens



Well it all started back
About a week or two
I bought this instant Wonder Glue
I'd seen it work on TV and I just had to try me some

Well when I got home
I spilled the stuff
And I reached for a towel to wipe it up
And that towel stuck to my hand like another thumb

And as if that wasn't trouble enough
Here come Rover chasing Fluff

And that cat jumped up
And stuck right to my knee

(He doesn't have a knee!)

Well I reached down to hold the dog away
And I touched his ear and that's where my hand stayed
And he lit out a yelping dragging the cat and me

Well running through the house
We knocked the bird cage down

And the parakeet got loose and was flying all around
And finally landed and stuck to the top of my head

And I was tryin' to be careful, but I just wasn't able
And we were stickin' to ashtrays, lamps n tables
And I was wishin' that I had bought a roll
Of Duct Tape instead

Well I finally fell exhausted into a chair
And then you came in and found me there
With the bird on my head and my hand on the dog
And the cat stuck to my knee

And you said the scene looked
Heaven sent that I looked like a man perfectly content
A regular St. Francis of Asissi
And before I could stop you
You laid a big kiss on me

Now Honey, I'm stuck on you
Yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog
And stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too

Ever since I bought that tube of
Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me
And now I'm stuck on you

Well I got to thinkin' sittin' there that day
How did they make that stuff anyway
I mean there must be workers
Stuck all over the factory

I bet there's shoes on the floor and shirts on the walls
And hat's on the ceiling and all up and down the halls
Why just gettin' this stuff in the tube
Has got to be a miracle to see

Now if we could ever make it to the telephone
And get the paramedics out to our home
Maybe they could surgically remove you and the dog
And the cat and the parakeet

And as soon as we're all healed up enough
We're gonna sneak into the plant where they make that stuff
And for revenge we'll put instant Wonder Glue
On all their toilet seats

Hee Hee Hee ...

Until then I'm stuck on you
Yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog
And stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too

Ever since I bought that tube of Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me and now I'm stuck on you
Ohhh, I'm stuck on you, yes I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck to the dog and stuck to the cat
And stuck to the parakeet too

Ever since I bought that tube of Instant Wonder Glue
Everything has stuck on me and now I'm stuck on you

Als De Zon Schijnt


Als De Zon Schijnt
Composer(s): R. Ortolani; M. Franc; André van Duin
Performer(s): André van Duin



Als ie boven aan de hemel staat is 't net of alles beter gaat
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Iedereen komt uit z'n winterslaap door die mooie rooie koperen knaap
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Niemand is zich meer van kwaad bewust, alle narigheid wordt uitgeblust
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
En de allergrootste pessimist wordt een veelgevraagde humorist
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt

Heel de wereld is een bloemtapijt, en de buurvrouw een mooie meid
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Zilveren vogels vliegen door de lucht, ieder drama wordt een dolle klucht
Alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt
Alle ziekenhuizen raken leeg, en de bakkersvrouw rolt door het deeg
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
Ja, de wereld krijgt een nieuwe kleur, overal hangt zo'n zalig, zoete geur
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt

O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt
En terrasjes zitten overvol, alle mensen raken uit hun bol
O wat is het leven fijn in de zon
Als de zon er toch niet was geweest was er nooit een reden voor een feest
O wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt

Ana De Amsterdam


Ana De Amsterdam
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Rey Guerra
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Sou Ana do dique e das docas
Da compra, da venda, da troca de pernas
Dos braços, das bocas, do lixo, dos bichos, das fichas
Sou Ana das loucas
Até amanhã
Sou Ana
Da cama, da cana, fulana, bacana
Sou Ana de Amsterdam

Eu cruzei um oceano
Na esperança de casar
Fiz mil bocas pra Solano
Fui beijada por Gaspar

Sou Ana de cabo a tenente
Sou Ana de toda patente, das Índias
Sou Ana do oriente, ocidente, acidente, gelada
Sou Ana, obrigada
Até amanhã, sou Ana
Do cabo, do raso, do rabo, dos ratos
Sou Ana de Amsterdam

Arrisquei muita braçada
Na esperança de outro mar
Hoje sou carta marcada
Hoje sou jogo de azar

Sou Ana de vinte minutos
Sou Ana da brasa dos brutos na coxa
Que apaga charutos
Sou Ana dos dentes rangendo
E dos olhos enxutos
Até amanhã, sou Ana
Das marcas, das macas, da vacas, das pratas
Sou Ana de Amsterdam

Dancing Barefoot


Dancing Barefoot
Composer(s): Ivan Kral; Patti Smith
Originally performed by: Patti Smith
Covered by various other artists



She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with he

Here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...

Chorus:
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin/e

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He, who is chosen by she

Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...

(Chorus)

She is re-creation
She, intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she...

Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...

(Chorus)

(Oh God I fell for you)

The plot of our lives sweats in the dark like a face
The mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
Grave visitations
What is it that calls to us?
Why must we pray screaming?
Why must not death be redefined?
We shut our eyes and we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
An afixiation a fix on anything
The line of life the limb of a tree
The hands of he and the promise that she is blessed among women

Ana Ariki
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Cuenta la leyenda que una noche sin estrellas
Ana Ariki de la isla se marchó
y le dijo a Tongaroki espera volveré
algún día volveré

Tongaroki, como un loco, corre por la playa
de Anakena tras la huella
que ella le dejó al partir
Tongaroki sabe que ella nunca volverá
que otro mundo fue a buscar

Ana Ariki volverá, Ana Ariki por el mar
Make Make la traerá a la isla llegará
Ana Ariki hokiro mai
Ana Ariki aroto i te vai
Make Make e mauro mai
qui Rapa Nui tu uro mai

Con sus manos rudas y con materia del volcán
una figura de piedra le construyó
porque todo el tiempo
las piedras pueden esperar
pero no un corazón…

Y una tarde de invierno sólo se le vio
alejarse entre las olas
como persiguiendo al sol
y en la isla queda una silueta sin hablar
cuerpo de piedra ojos de sal…

Ana Ariki volverá, Ana Ariki por el mar
Make Make la traerá
a la isla llegará
Ana Ariki hokiro mai
Ana Ariki aroto i te vai
Make Make e mauro mai
qui Rapa Nui tu uro mai

Dancin' Shoes


Dancin' Shoes
Composer(s): Carl Storie
Performer(s): Nigel Olsson



Too many long converstaions
And no one is hearing a word
Just trying to escape the frustrations
Till a song in the night can be heard

Put on your dancin' shoes
Throw out those one night blues
Here's one to love and to chance
For a spin on that wheel of romance

Too slow to unriddle all your problems
Too lonely for someone to care
Long, lonely silence keeps haunting
Till the song in the night finds you there

Put on your dancin' shoes
Throw out those one night blues
And here's one to love and to chance
For a spin on that wheel
Spin on that wheel
Spin on that wheel of romance

A face like an angel, she's waiting
She smiles and looks over at you
You yearn for this situation
Now finally your dreams have come true

Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
'Cause here's one to love and to share
Caught on that wheel
Caught on that wheel
Caught on that wheel of romance

Put on your dancin' shoes
Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
Put on your dancin' shoes
Sweep her away with you
You, you, oh, you

Put on your dancin' shoes
Put on your dancin' shoes

An Old Straw Hat


An Old Straw Hat
From the film "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm" (1938)
Composer(s): Harry Revel - Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Bunny Berigan & His Orch.; Maria Muldaur



What is all this dizzy busy hustling for
People running helter-skelter on their way
What is all this hazy crazy bustling for
No time to notice it's a sunny day

Why don't you take a vacation
Looks like you've got to have relaxation
Aw, come on, forget your troubles for a while
Why don't you try to feel like I do

If I had one wish to make
This is the wish I would choose
I'd want an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes

Just let me roam around
Laughing at big city blues
With an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes

Howdy, Mister Brown
Ho-hum!
Goin' fishin'? Hope you get a bite
Howdy Mister Jones!
Ho-hum!
How's about a hay ride Saturday night?

Sing hi-ho the merri-o
What've you got, what've you got to lose
Get an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes
