Hey girl how's by you
Sing your rock and roll
Sing your blues
But I'm all right you know I pay my dues
Got 'em comin' to me
Got 'em comin' to you

I'm gonna try again
Don't matter if I win or lose
Gonna try again anyway
Yes I am, gonna try anyway
Yes I will

But I know you
You gonna be so cool
Ain't gonna try no sweet talkin'
I ain't no fool
'Cause I know you love me girl
Just like I love you
Got my feet on the ground
And I know what I got to do

I'm gonna try again
Don't matter if I win or lose
Gonna try again anyway
Yes I will, gonna try anyway
Yes I will

Do you know where you're goin'?
Honey where have you been?
Do you see the games they're playin'?
Do you really believe you can win?

I'm gonna try again
Don't matter if I win or lose
Gonna try again anyway
Yes I will, gonna try anyway
Yes I will

Desolation Row


Desolation Row Composer(s): Bob Dylan First release by: Bob Dylan - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists Versions In Other Languages: 1974 - Via Della Povertà (Fabrizio De André) 2010 - De Verloren Straat (Ernst Jansz)



They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row

Cinderella, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You Belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row

Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row

Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid

To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row

Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row

Across the street they've nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
They're spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words

And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get Outa Here If You Don't Know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row"

Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row

Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody's shouting
"Which Side Are You On?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row

Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the door knob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row

I'll Find My Way Home


I'll Find My Way Home
Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Vangelis
Performer(s): Jon & Vangelis



You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is lost
How will I find what is near
Don't question I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home
My sun shall rise in the east
So shall my heart be at peace
And if you're asking me when
I'll say it starts at the end
You know your will to be free
Is matched with secretly
And talk will alter your prayer
Somehow you'll find you are there
Your friend is close by your side
And speaks in far ancient tongue
A seasons wish will come true
All seasons begin with you
A world we all come from
A world we melt into one
Just hold my hand and we're there
Somehow we're going somewhere
Somehow we're going somewhere

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is strong
I know it can't be long
No questions I'm not alone
Sometime I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
Sometime I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
Sometime I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home

Desnúdate, Desnúdame


Desnúdate, Desnúdame Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo; Azucar Moreno; Johnny Ray



Deja que entre en tu mirada
y descúbreme la mía
desnúdate, desnúdame
Que tu boca sea mi boca
y mi risa tu alegría
desnúdate, desnúdame
Y, así, desnudo el corazón
podré sembrar en ti el amor
Que tu vuelo sea mi vuelo
y mis ojos sean tu guía
desnúdate, desnúdame
Que mi alma sea tu casa
y tu cuerpo sea la mía
desnúdate, desnúdame... Desnúdate
Deja que te cuente todo
y háblame como es tu vida
desnúdate, desnúdame
Que al amarnos se hagan libres
todas nuestras fantasías
desnúdate, desnúdame
Y, así, sin miedo entre los dos
se hará más grande nuestro amor
Que tu vuelo sea mi vuelo
y mis ojos sean tu guía
desnúdate, desnúdame
Que mi alma sea tu casa
y tu cuerpo sea la mía
desnúdate, desnúdame
Amor, no dudes mas de mi
desnúdate, desnúdame

Anytime That You Need Someone


Anytime That You Need Someone
Performer(s): Tony Moore



There’s a smile in my eyes – put there by you
To remind me time flies – when you’ve got lots to do
So I’m filling my days – with all kinds of junk
Just to find brand new ways of not getting drunk
There’s a voice in my heart – with a new alphabet
Telling me I must start - to slowly forget
But I’m a stubborn old fool – who can’t say goodbye
And I’m breaking the rule – that says hope has to die
And I can’t say goodbye to you
Cos the words just won’t leave my tongue
And I’m waiting to fly to you
Anytime that you need someone
There’s a dream that we share
No one else can quite see
And I know it’s not fair – how they won’t let us be
But I live for my faith – and what it can bring
Not a day will I waste – while my heart still can sing
And I can’t say goodbye to you
Cos the words just won’t leave my tongue
And I’m waiting to fly to you
Anytime that you need someone
Anytime that you need someone
I would crawl across the universe
It is no distance to traverse
I would wait a million years for you
If that’s the only thing that I can do
And I can’t say goodbye to you
Cos the words just won’t leave my tongue
And I’m waiting to fly to you
Anytime that you need someone
And I can’t let you leave my life
Cos you have no comparison
I will be there both night and day
Anytime that you need someone
There’s a smile in my eyes……

Desnúdate Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo - Ray Girado Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Como las flores se abren a la luz

Then The Music Stopped


Then The Music Stopped
Composer(s): Werner Theunissen
Performer(s): Pussycat



Then the music stopped, all the lights went out
Someone is crying now a time ago
For a moment we wished reality wasn't meant to be hurting so
A falling star, music and candlelight
You know where they are
So darling lead me through the night
When the music stopped, we just walked away
Into every day people go
Cloudy summer nights, dying city lights, now I know that I need you so

Please stay by me 'cause I can still feel the falling rain
I wanna be loved by you and the music starts again

A falling star, music and candlelight
You know where they are, so darling lead me through the night
When the music stopped, we just walked away
Into every day people go
Cloudy summer nights, dying city lights, now I know that I need you so
Please stay by me 'cause I can still feel the falling rain
I wanna be loved by you and the music starts again

Come along with me
I wanna be loved by you and the music starts again
Come along with me
I wanna be loved by you and the music starts again

Desnúdame


Desnúdame
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Desnúdame muy lenta lentamente
Desnúdame y cuenta cuéntame
que es lo que vez
nena en mi interior

Me hago leer el porvenir y qué...
hago decir que ya no vivo aquí
me meto en mi caparazón
y voy silbando al amanecer
una canción de borrachos en tren
tan solo para volverte a ver
y los dos sitiados
y los dos mojados
justo al filo de hacer el amor

Desnúdame muy lenta lentamente
Desnúdame y cuenta cuéntame
que es lo que vez
nena en mi interior

Voy por las calles dibujando rayos
en las paredes de los edificios
dejando rastros en vano
es como la terrible sensación
de estar flotando en un lago azul
mientras el bote vuelve a la orilla
sin nosotros
y los dos sitiados
y los dos mojados
justo al filo de hacer el amor

Desnúdame muy lenta lentamente
Desnúdame y cuenta cuéntame
que es lo que vez
nena en mi interior

Desnúdame, desnúdame y cuéntame

Desnúdame muy lenta lentamente
Desnúdame y cuenta cuéntame
que es lo que vez
nena en mi interior

Anytime (I'll Be There)


Anytime (I'll Be There)
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka; Frank Sinatra



Anytime you need me babe
Just call I'll be there
Call and see what a good friend can be
When you need someone to care
Nothing more than understanding
Just a man who's undemanding
Like a leaf that's only landing suddenly
Goes when the wind gently blows

And I'm asking nothing of you love
Only what you want to give
And I wish you what I wish myself
As long as I may live
Other arms will surely hold you
Just remember the things that I told you
When these arms of mine enfold you
It's not out of greed but for love
And for need

I love you so, I still do
I'm sure you know when I'm holding you
The sad part of seeing you is goodbye
Call and I'll come when your world's come undone
I'm like you, I get lonely too
And I need someone to hold
Knowing well this world can be hell
And sometimes very cold

Nothing firm and nothing binding
Now and then a slight reminding
Waking up one day and finding
Somewhere to run, somewhere to run
Somewhere to run when your world's come undone
Oh babe, I'll be there, I'll be there anytime

There's a certain thing about you
Summer, fall and spring about you
I could write and sing about you
And never run out, never run out (no)
Never run out of what you're all about
Oh babe, I'll be there , I'll be there anytime

Something Happened


Something Happened
Composer(s): Brian Wilson - G. Van Cleve
Performer(s): Paul Anka



Something happened
To this heart of mine
When I saw you standing
In the sun

Something happened
And I can't define
How I knew you
Were the one

The world stood still
While my head
Went spinning round
I always will
Thank the Lord
For what I found

Something happened
And my prayers were heard
Now I'm walking in
The sun with you

Something happened
And without a word
I was sure you

Loved me too

The world stood still
While my head
Went spinning round
I always will
Thank the Lord
For what I found

Something happened
And my prayers were heard
Now I'm walking in
The sun with you

Something happened
And without a word
I was sure you
Loved me too

I was sure you
Loved me too
I was sure you
Loved me too

Desiree


Desiree
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



It was the third of June
On that younger day
Well I became a man
At the hands of a girl
Almost twice my age
And she came to me
Just like a morning sun
And it wasn't so much
Her words as such
As the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung

Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of you loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh Desiree
Somehow I knew
I could only have you
Til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet Desiree, you made it right.

Then came the fourth of June
On that sleepless night
Well I tossed and I turned
While the thought of her burned
Up and down my mind
For she was there and gone
Without one regret
But she continues on
Like the words of a song
I could not forget
I could not forget

Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you
Til the morning light
The night was long, the time was right
Do you remember, Desiree

Designer Life


Designer Life Composer(s): K. Crouch - Kirsty MacColl Performer(s): Kirsty MacColl



There’s a brand new car in your driveway
And a blonde new girl in your bed
You’ve everything you ever wished for
Happy little bubblehead
And you can’t fill it up with promises
You can’t fill it up with lies
And you can’t fill it up with business lunches
Oh but you can try
Who am I to criticise you?
Just a girl that you despise
Welcome to designer living
This is your designer life

There’s a big house high on a hilltop
And another house in spain
Mummy’s little soldier’s riding on the gravy train
And my you’re looking lovely
May you stay forever young
May you never get a conscience
About the things that you have done

Who am I to criticise you?
Just a girl to twist the knife
Welcome to designer living
This is your designer life

Who am I to criticise you?
Just a girl that you despise
Welcome to designer living
This is your designer life

This is your designer life
You and your designer life

((French Version: Faute À Qui? (by Ivan Cevic) - 2007))
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne - Roy Orbison - Tom Petty - Roger Baeten
Performer(s): Conny Fabry - 1989



Telkens ik in jouw verliefde ogen kijk
Heb ik het gevoel dat jij me nog verleidt
Die blik van jou betovert mij
Ik hoop dat jij steeds bij me blijft

Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het
Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het
Baby

Ik heb soms wel spijt van dingen die ik deed
‘t Was niet slecht bedoeld, ik hoop dat je mij vergeeft
Ik leef voortaan voor jou alleen
Jouw hart en ‘t mijn, ze slaan als één

Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het
Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het
Baby

Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt
Wat je hart verlangt

Je krijgt het

Ik wil je nooit, nee, nooit meer kwijt
Van jou heb ik nog geen dag spijt

Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het
Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het
Baby

Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het
Wat je hart verlangt, je krijgt het
Baby

Alles wat je wil, je krijgt het
Alles wat je vraagt, je krijgt het

Desierto


Desierto Performer(s): Fito Paéz



Mi aspecto perverso, mi lívido porno Mi circulo abierto, mi tacto de oro Tu espalda es un arpa, tus piernas un coro que tienen en mente hacérmelo todo Yo soy ese rayo que cayó del cielo que vino a quemarte hasta el mismo infierno Vos sos el espacio que habitan tus miedos Yo tengo coraje y tengo deseo Quiero tu lado salvaje, no necesito palabras quiero sacarme las ropas, que no me sirven de nada No soy turista del viaje, soy pasajero intranquilo No me provoques ahora, tengo un cuchillo con filo Y nada de lo que me digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto Con látigo en mano, me siento indefenso la rabia que escupo, se la lleva el viento Hay gente que inspira, que come excremento hay gente que aspira la coca y el tiempo Tu punto de vista, tu lado importante Tu chumbo en la mano, sos un vigilante Yo soy un espectro, soy un habitante un cuerpo y un alma, un lucro cesante Voy a salir a la calle a deshacer mi destino Que es bueno estar en la lona y equivocar el camino Podés comprarte una casa, podés comprarte un asilo Hay cosas que no se compran, vos sabes bien lo que digo Y nada de lo que me digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto La falsa utopía de un mundo perfecto se hundió hace unos días en un baño infecto Políticamente, decente y correcto Sos un policía, sos como un insecto Flotás tranquilo y seguro, alrededor de la mierda te veo andando derecho, resbalando por izquierda no existe nadie que sepa, ninguna cosa en la tierra y si estás libre de dudas, tirá la primera piedra Y nada de lo que digas, amor, va a sacarme de este desierto Desierto... nena, estoy desierto, desierto...

Hallo Hier Ben Ik Dan


Hallo Hier Ben Ik Dan
Composer(s): J. Bral - J. de Nijs
Performer(s): Luk Bral



Ik vond er niks meer aan, 't was beter om maar weg te gaan
Ik voelde mij geroepen tot de vrijheid en 't onbekende
Ik liet al m'n vrienden achter en m'n kalm bestaan
En op een dag ben ik op pad gegaan

En na 'n jaar of twee van zwerven wou ik terug naar huis
Er kwam toch niks dan rotzooi van, toen bleef er mij niet veel meer over
'k Heb alle bruggen en de steden achter mij verbrand
En na m'n tocht ben ik weer in dit land aangeland

Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein
Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder
Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn
Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij

Ik maak een wandeling door 't dorp langs de zilveren rivier
Tot aan de houten brug, ach kijk 't is nog allemaal hetzelfde
Op alle plekjes waar ik speelde blijf ik even staan
Wat zet er mij er toch toe aan om weg te gaan

Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein
Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder
Hallo hier ben ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn
Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij

't Vetgemeste kalf wordt op m'n vaders erf geslacht
't Hele dorp komt naar 't feest, ik krijg wel honderden cadeautjes
Er wordt gedanst, er wordt gevierd, met heel wat roemers wijn
't Is zo mooi, 't kan niet mooier zijn

Maar dan opeens is 'r de drang om terug op pad te gaan
't Feest is nog in volle gang en ik zit voor me uit te staren
Al die verre horizinten trekken mij weer aan
Ik neem een slok en trek m'n schoenen aan, om weg te gaan

Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein
Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder
Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn
Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij

Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag mensen op 't plein
Dag pierlala, dag Saskia, dag kleine blonde varkenshoeder
Adieu daar ga ik dan, dag dronken kastelijn
Dag dikke dolle Titia en dag papa, dag dorp van mij ...

Desiderata


Desiderata Composer(s): Max Ehrmann - Werner Ehrmann Performer(s): Les Crane and multiple other artists



Go placidly amid the noise and haste
and remember what peace there may be in silence

As far as possible, without surrender
be on good terms with all persons

Speak your truth quietly and clearly
and listen to others
even to the dull and ignorant
they too have their story

Avoid loud and aggressive persons
they are vexations to the spirit

If you compare yourself with others
you may become vain or bitter
for always there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble,
it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time

Exercise caution in your business affairs
for the world is full of trickery
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is
many persons strive for high ideals
and everywhere life is full of heroism

Be yourself
Especially do not feign affection
Neither be cynical about love
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantement
it is as perrenial as the grass

Take kindly the counsel of the years
gracefully surrendering the things of youth

Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness

Beyond a wholesome discipline
be gentle with yourself

You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars
you have a right to be here
And whether or not it is clear to you
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

Therefore be at peace with God
whatever you conceive him to be
And whatever your labors and aspirations
in the noisy confusion of life
keep peace in your soul

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams
it is still a beautiful world
Be cheerful
Strive to be happy

Déshabillez-Moi


Déshabillez-Moi
((English Version: Undress Me (Marc Almond) - 1996))
Composer(s): Robert Nyel - Gaby Verlor
First release by: Juliette Gréco - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Oui, mais pas tout de suite, pas trop vite
Sachez me convoiter, me désirer, me captiver
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Mais ne soyez pas comme tous les hommes, trop pressés
Et d'abord, le regard
Tout le temps du prélude
Ne doit pas être rude, ni hagard
Dévorez-moi des yeux
Mais avec retenue
Pour que je m'habitue, peu à peu...

Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Oui, mais pas tout de suite, pas trop vite
Sachez m'hypnotiser, m'envelopper, me capturer
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Avec délicatesse, en souplesse, et doigté
Choisissez bien les mots
Dirigez bien vos gestes
Ni trop lents, ni trop lestes, sur ma peau
Voilà, ça y est, je suis
Frémissante et offerte
De votre main experte, allez-y...

Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Maintenant tout de suite, allez vite
Sachez me posséder, me consommer, me consumer
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Conduisez-vous en homme
Soyez l'homme... Agissez!
Déshabillez-moi, déshabillez-moi
Et vous... déshabillez-vous!
