Burning A Hole In My Mind
Burning A Hole In My Mind
Composer(s): Cy Coben
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
Though it happened long ago, the hurt won't let go
And it's burning a hole in my mind
I see her and I see you and the things we used to do
And it's burning a hole in my mind
I said I'd forget and I tried
But my heart tells my tongue that it lied
Though I try to forgive every moment I live
Is a torture the Devil designed
In my mind's eye I see how you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind
In my mind's eye I see how you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind

Kingdom Of Desire
Kingdom Of Desire
Composer(s): Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar
Performer(s): Toto
You used to be on fire now you chill me to the bone
We used to fly like angels now we're sinking like a stone
You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels
I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing
And oh, one thing I know
There's only one place left for me to go
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed
My sheets feel like sandpaper
And my pillow feels like lead
But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea
I'm sinking like a stone babe that's how it's got to be
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me I'll never feel a thing
And oh, if I don't have you
There's only one thing left for me to do
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
(Instrumental break)
When you dig up God's little acre you lose all peace of mind
You stare into the distance looking for a sign
But that sign it never comes babe
Your wishes won't come true
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you
And oh, one thing I know
There's only one place left for me to go
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
(repeats 2x)
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

Two Heavens
Two Heavens
Composer(s): Don George - Ted Grouya
Performer(s): Doris Day
Two heavens one high in the skies
Two heavens one here in your eyes
I never dreamed I'd kiss an angel
But darling here you are
In an overcoat of moonbeams buttoned with a star
I'm thrilled to high heaven just feeling your touch
My heaven I love you so much
And while our lips are making memories
This moment is divine
I see two heavens and both of them are mine

Two Hearts That Pass In The Night
Two Hearts That Pass In The Night
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye
Two hearts that pass in the night
In the magical light of the moon
Knowing how soon night is gone
Two hearts that join in a glance
And discover romances are made
Only to fade with the dawn
So for an hour you were mine
And my heart was aglow
With a power beyond divining
Two hearts have tasted delight
Must they always be lonely, alas
Two hearts that pass in the night?
Dinsdag 2 september 1980
Don't Keep Me Lonely Too Long
Don't Keep Me Lonely Too Long
Composer(s): Melba Montgomery
Performer(s): George Jones
and multiple other artists
It sure gets lonely alone
No one to cry to alone
Time sure get slow since you're gone
Don't keep me lonely too long
I need to hold you in my arms
And hear you say you need me
Don't let me live on dreams alone
Don't keep me lonely too long
Mem'ries are bad for one so lonely
My tortured heart cries out
Because it loves and wants you only
Yes I'm too lonely alone
Afraid I can't stand alone
Without your love I can't go on
Don't keep me lonely too long

Kings
Kings
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan
Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin'
Chorus:
We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John
While he plundered far and wide
All his starving children cried
And though we sung his fame
We all went hungry just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line
Chorus

Two Hearts Beat As One
Two Hearts Beat As One
Composer(s): Bono - The Edge - Adam Clayton - Larry Mullen
First release: U2 - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
I don't know
I don't know which side I'm on
I don't know my right from left
Or my right from wrong
Say I'm a fool
You say I'm nothing
But if I'm a fool for you
Oh, that's something
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts...
I can't stop the dance
Honey, this is my last chance
I said, can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts...
They beat on black, beat on white
Beat on everything don't get it right
Beat on you, beat on me, beat on love
I don't know
How to say what's got to be said
I don't know if it's black or white
There's others see it red
I don't get the answers right
I leave that to you
Is this love out of fashion
Or is it the time of year
Are these words distraction
To the words you want to hear
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
I try to spit it out
I try to explain
The way I feel
Oh, yeah
Two hearts
I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance

Composer(s): Wiley Smith; Carlyle Hughey
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
You promised you would be true to me
But we both know you could never be
You've been puttin' me on since the day we met
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
And then you promised me a ring
A wedding gown and all of them things
I ain't seen no diamond yet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
Promises, promises, that's all I get
All you gave me since the day we met
You'll break my heart in two again I bet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
And now you tell me you're goin' away
You swear to me that this time you'll stay
I can't believe I'm rid of you yet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
Promises, promises, that's all I get
All you gave me since the day we met
You'll break my heart in two again I bet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
Promises, promises, that's all I get

King's Call
King's Call
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy
It was a rainy night the night the king went down
Everybody was crying
it seemed like sadness had surrounded the town
Me I went to the liquor store
And I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin
I played his records all night
Drinking with a close, close friend
Now some people say that that ain't right
And some people say nothing at all
But even in the darkest of night
You can always hear the king's call
You can always hear the king's call
Well they put him away in Memphis
Six feet beneath the clay
Everybody was crying
Everybody said it was a plain grey day
Me I went to the liquor store
And I bought another bottle of wine and another bottle of gin
I played his records all night
And I got drunk all over again
Now some people say that that ain't right
That ain't right
And some people say nothing at all
I say nothing
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
And I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you
Now some people say that that ain't right
And some people say nothing at all I say nothing
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing here
They might as well bring the curtain down
I cried the night the king died

Two Hearts Are Better Than One
Two Hearts Are Better Than One
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Two heads together
Are better than one in rainy or sunny weather
The outlook can’t be a glum one
When there’s someone who cares
Just when you’re sinking without a straw in sight
Someone starts thinking and everything’s all right
Birds of a feather
Can never be shown that living alone is fun
When two hearts are better than one
Two heads together
Are better than one in rainy or sunny weather
The outlook can’t be a glum one
When there’s someone who cares
Rain in the doorway can have its sunny side
When someone goes your way and her umbrella’s wide
Birds of a feather
Can never be shown that living alone is fun
When two hearts are better than one

((Adapted from: Love In Portofino (by Fred Buscaglione - 1958))
Composer(s): Fred Buscaglione - Leo Chiosso - Hertha
Performer(s): Angèle Durand - 1960
Ich fand ein herz in Portofino
Das lieb ich heute noch so sehr
Es war mein schicksal mein destino
In Portofino mein traum am Meer
In jenen wunderbaren tagen
Vergass ich alles um mich her
Dein kuss der löschte tausend fragen
In Portofino am blauen Meer
Was du voll liebe mir gesungen
Das konnten nicht nur lieder sein
Die zarten worte sind verklungen
Und ich bin wieder so allein
Ich fand ein herz in Portofino
Das lieb ich heute noch so sehr
Und einst erfüllt sich mein destino
In Portofino mein traum am meer
La la la ...
Nel dolce incanto del mattino
Il mare ti ha portato a me
Su chiudo gli occhi e a me vicino
A Portolino rivedo te
Was du voll liebe mir gesungen
Das konnten nicht nur lieder sein
Die zarten worte sind verklungen
Und ich bin wieder so allein
Ich fand ein herz in Portofino
Das lieb ich heute noch so sehr
Und einst erfüllt sich mein destino
In Portofino, in Portofino
Am blauen meer, am blauen meer

Kings Of The Party
Kings Of The Party
Composer(s): Cub Koda; Michael Lutz; Henry Weck
Performer(s): Brownsville Station; The Smugglers
(Spoken)
All right now, get your
Ears lowered down to the speakers
So you can understand
What I'm talking about
You know it seems like
No matter where we go
To play a concert at
There's one thing
That remains constant
>From the beginning to the
Cery end of the show
You can always count on about
One hundred to five hundred people
Down at the very front row
Screaming one word at the
Top of their lungs, boogie
And sometimes, the feeling
Prevails upon em so hard, beloved
But they just have to
Mount up on the stage
And get to gigging with the band
And when they do, uh oh
Here comes the security fuzz
And the scene is something like this
Hey, you guys are really good, man
I dig up on you guys
When you gonna play
Smokin In The...ow ow ow
Man, you made me drop my
Bottle of wine on the floor
See, there you go
So we're gonna dedicate this
Song to everybody listening
Because the ones that get into it
Are definitely the kings of the party
Well, every Friday night
There's a concert in their town
You know they all get together
And they're ready to party down
And ole Brownsville Station
Really digs em cause they get it on
You see the chicks
They all go crazy, oh
When the band begins to play
And the guys make so much noise
They scare all the cops away
But together we start to
Change the show into a
Rock and roll holiday
We're the kings of the party
We're the baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
Aw, come on and slip me five
Now we're the kings of the party
Cause we're the baddest people alive
Ten thousand eyes watching
While we leave the floor
Ten thousand tongues
Screaming more, more
And there were fifteen hundred
Still waiting outside the door
Cause we're the kings of the party
The baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
Come on and slip me five
We're the kings of the party
Yes, we're the baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
The baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
Come down, down on and slip me five
We're the kings, the kings
Of the rock and roll party
Cause we get it on
We're the kings of the party
We're the baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
Aw, come on and slip me five
We're the kings of the party
Cause we're the baddest people alive

One heart's not enough, baby
Two hearts make you feel crazy
One kiss makes you feel so nice
Two kisses put you in paradise

Two arms make me know that you care

Two kisses hotter than an oven
Two hearts, two kisses make one love
Lovin' you, baby, is my desire
I know that you could set this world afire
A little spark is burnin' deep inside
Love should be made by two (hoop-de-doo-oo)

Meine Ruhe ist dahin
mit einem Wort
ich weiß nicht, was ich beginn
seitdem du fort
Trostlos sieht mein Leben aus
im Augenblick
leer ist ohne dich das Haus
drum komm zurück
Was bisher mein Herz erfreut
das lässt mich kalt
Ich bin müde und zerstreut
hab keinen Halt
Was ich anfass', das zerbricht
wie unser Glück
Gib mir wieder Zuversicht
und komm zurück
Je t'attends - ich erwarte dich
erwarte dich von früh bis spät
komm, die Zeit vergeht
Je t'attends, bitte, warte nicht
ich brauche dich wie Luft und Licht
komm, bevor's zu spät
Meine Ruhe war an vielem schuld
das geb ich zu
Doch dir fehlte die Geduld
ganz entre nous
Ist der Weg auch schwer und weit
das letzte Stück - schafft viel leichter
wenn man zu zweit
drum komm zurück
Es gab in all den Jahren
manch schöne Zeit
Wo wir restlos glücklich waren
ich seh noch heut
Wie du vor mir stehst und weinst
vor lauter Glück
alles wird so sein wie einst
nur komm zurück
Je t'attends - ich erwarte dich
erwarte dich von früh bis spät
komm, die Zeit vergeht
Je t'attends - bitte, warte nicht
ich brauche dich wie Luft und Licht
komm, bevor's zu spät
Je t'attends

King's Song
King's Song
Composer(s): Jim Croce; Ingrid Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
He struggled so hard to be king
Working night and day
Dreaming of only one thing
Never a holiday
Somewhere along the way
He forgot she was only a girl
Now his kingdom has fallen
And it's really quite a tragic tale
Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen
But the queen claimed he built her a jail
He struggled so hard to be king
He wanted everything
He built her a house by the sea
Just to keep her in
Somewhere along the way
He forgot she needed a friend
Now his kingdom has fallen
And it's really quite a tragic tale
Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen
And the queen claimed he built her a jail
It happened so quickly before he could know
She was gone, far gone
Far from the castle, the diamonds and things
She had worn to the ball
There was a note that she carefully wrote
Signed it best wishes to all
Oh you struggled so hard to be king
Working night and day
Dreaming of only one thing, never a holiday
Somewhere along the way
You forgot that I needed a man
When they found him they took him back where he belonged
And his family and friends saw him annually
And they say it's a shame what's become of the king

Two Hearts (Phil Collins)
Two Hearts
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Philip Bailey - Phil Collins - Lamont Dozier - Maurice White
Performer(s): Phil Collins
Well, there was no reason to believe
she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there to behind you
just to remind you
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
You know we're two hearts
believing in just one mind
Cos there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her
and it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts
believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place
in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her
We're two hearts...

Pasa el tiempo y sin ti no sé vivir
la razón es para mí siempre sufrir
y ahora el viento al pasar me da a entender
que en la vida sólo a ti esperaré
Yo recuerdo tu mirar y tu besar
tu sonrisa bajo el sol primaveral
estoy solo sin saber lo que tú harás
en mi alma hay dolor al esperar
Ven... a mí ven no tardes más
ven por favor te ruego yo
no podré esperar ven a mí
yo quiero saber si has de venir
por fin así dímelo amor
Es la herida que envejece sin piedad
más mi amor siempre será eternidad
en mis blancas noches tú revivirás
el recuerdo de mi amor al despertar
En mi mente siempre como un altar
y tu rostro grabo en mí para soñar
el momento ha de llegar muy pronto ya
y veré la realidad al despertar
Ven... ven a mí ven, ven no tardes más
ven por favor te ruego yo no podré esperar
ven... oh ven a mí yo... yo quiero saber
si has de venir por fin así dímelo amor ...

Kingston
Kingston
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Si tu rêves de tropiques, c'est vraiment tropical
Le reggae dans la rue, calypso dans la salle
Si tu veux tout de suite qu'on réponde aux questions
Remonte dans ton jet et retourne à Nation
Tu trouveras ici non pas ce que tu penses
Non pas ce que tu cherches, ça n'a pas d'importance
La beauté, la violence, posées sur la balance
Affamées comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
J'écoute à la radio une chanson d'amour
Qui dit qu'il n'y a qu'un Dieu, un pays, trois couleurs
Douze tribus dans la Bible, des coups d'flingues dans la cible
Des blancs pour le gâteau, cinq cent mille au ghetto
Un million dans la ville qui brûle en plein soleil
Deux millions dans une île, juste en-dessous du ciel
Affamés comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
Si tu prends ma machette juste entre les oreilles
C'est fini pour la fête, fini pour le soleil
Plus j'ai faim, plus je fume, plus je fume, plus je crois
Le Dieu qui m'a bâti doit fumer comme moi
Je suis beau comme lui, je danse comme un fauve
Le lion des rastas rôde dans les villas
Affamé comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
Cadenas sur les grilles, des familles d'en haut
La brume qui scintille au-dessus du ghetto
A Trensh Town ça bouge, t'arrête pas aux feux rouges
A Tivoli Garden, no good man
La lumière qui saute, Kingston est dans le noir
Les gun-men qui rôdent transformés en passoires
Et la mort qui s'en va, affamée comme moi...
