The Things We Do For Love
The Things We Do For Love
Composer(s): Eric Stewart- Graham Gouldman
First release by: 10cc - 1977
Too many broken hearts have fallen down the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love
(the things we do for love)
Communication is the problem to the answer
You’ve got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather’s turned and all the lines our down
The things we do for love
(the things we do for love)
Like walking in the rain and snow
When there’s nowhere to go
And you’re feeling like a part of you is dying
And you’re looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you wanna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Ooh, you make me love you
Ooh, you’ve got a way
Ooh, you’ve had me crawling up the wall
Like walking in the rain and snow
When there’s nowhere to go
And you’re feeling like a part of you is dying
And you’re looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you wanna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Ooh, you make me love you
Ooh, you’ve got a way
Ooh, you’ve had me crawling up the wall
A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree, but disagree to part
Well after all it’s just a compromise
For the things we do for love
(the things we do for love)
the things we do for love
(the things we do for love)
the things we do for love
(the things we do for love)...

Come On In My Kitchen
Come On In My Kitchen
Composer(s): Robert Johnson; Blind Willie Johnson; Payne
Originally performed by: Robert Johnson
Covered by various other artists
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
You better come on in my kitchen
It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down
Lookin' for yo' good friend, none can be found
You better come on in my kitchen
It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Nnn, the woman I love, took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
She better come on in my kitchen
Baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Mama, can't you hear that wind howl?
Oh how the wind do howl!
You better come on in my kitchen
Mmm baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Nnn, the woman that I love, I crave to see
She's up the country, won't write to me
Then, you better come on in my kitchen
Goin' to be rainin' outdoors
I went to the mountain, far as my eyes could see
Some other man got my woman, lonesome blues got me
But she better come on in my kitchen
'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
My mama dead, papa well's to be
Ain't got nobody to love and care for me
She better come on in my kitchen
'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

River Lady
River Lady
Composer(s): Greg Adams
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker
The day the river freezes is the day it won't seem fair
'Cos they'll come to get the river lady
And I don't think they'll care
I know they'll scrape her paint off
In their same old foolish ways
Now the people see the river
But the old ship's gone away
Water turns cold and gets to freezing
Before you even know it the old girl's easing
Away from her berth round by the point and out of our view
Off in the mist her engines pounding'
Back on the banks that old horn's sounding
A little good-bye
a little I'll do what I must do
A little good-bye
a little I'll do what I must do
I know I will remember when I cannot hear that horn
That would roll up by the mountains
As she took us through the storm
I know they've got to take her
But I can't say I approve
'Cos she's won so many battles
That I hate to see her lose
Water turns cold and gets to freezing

The Things We Did Last Summer
The Things We Did Last Summer
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne
First recording by: Frank Sinatra - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back
The leaves began to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
I've tried so to forget, at times I do, and yet
The mem'ry of you lingers like our song
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long

It's getting outside; you better come on in, girl, yeah baby
I've got a call for you to ride; you better come on in, girl, mmm yeah

Just come on in, come on in, come on in, now look here
Now I've got you home; can I come on in, girl?
You don't have to sit home alone; can I come on in, girl?

Ask a friend for your phone number
But I was too scared to phone
That's why I waited so very long, yeah
You put walls around your heart; let me come on in, girl
I love you from the start; can I come on in, girl?
Oh oh my love is a life saver; in my soul I know you are able
To know what I'm tryin' to say; show me the easy way
I wanna love you every day; let me come on
Come on in, come on in, let me come on in, come on in, oh
Let me come on in, let me, baby, come on in
I wanna come into your heart, just a lonely boy
It's been a long time ...

When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned

And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down
Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows
And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pie
And I love you baby, river deep mountain high
Oh yeah you've gotta believe me
River Deep, Mountain High
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

Tango D'amor
Tango D'amor
Performer(s): Vicky Leandros
Der letzte Abend die letzten schönen Stunden
Der letzte Tango für uns zwei
Nimm mich in deine Arme laß mich vergessen
Wie weh der Abschied tut
Sag mir wir seh'n uns wieder halt mich ganz fest
Sonst verlier ich den Mut
Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir
Mit diesem Tango hat alles angefangen
Und nun hört alles damit auf
Aber ich will nicht weinen den wenn
Das Schicksal es ehrlich, es ehrlich mit uns meint
Weiß ich bald kommt die Stunde
Wo dieses Lied uns für immer vereint
Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir
Langsam verlöscht nun der Lichterglanz
Und das Bandoneon spielt uns den Abschiedstanz
Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir

Things That Dreams Are Made Of
Composer(s): Philip Oakey - Adrian Wright
First release by: The Human League - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
Take time to see the wonders of the world
To see the things you've only ever heard of
Dream life the way you think it ought to be
See things you thought you'd never ever see
Take a cruise to China or a train to Spain
Go round the world again and again
Meet a girl on a boat meet a boy on a train
And fall in love without the pain
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Take a lift to the top of the Empire State
Take a drive across the Golden Gate
March, march, march across Red Square
Do all the things you've ever dared
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Like fun and money and food and love
And things you never thought of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
New York, ice cream, TV, travel, good times
Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of...

Performer(s): Bobby Bare;
Charley Pride; Wynn Stewart; Faron Young
Well, I hear that your new romance has faded
Just the way ours did sometime ago
Why, I've lost count of all the times I've waited
For you to tell me that you've missed me so
So come on home and sing the blues to daddy
When things ain't working out the way you planned
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands
Just like a child who's found a brand new plaything
Each one is more fun than the one before
But there's a faithful one who's always waiting
To be picked up and kicked around some more
So come on home and sing the blues to daddy
When things ain't working out the way you planned
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy
When things ain't working out the way you planned
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands...

River (Gentle Giant)
River
Composer(s): Kerry Minnear;
Derek Shulman; Phil Shulman; Ray Shulman
Performer(s): Gentle Giant
Touching the last of what is past
Moving silent water fell the first that comes
Slow and winding, flowing free
Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums
Trust the shallow virgin stream
Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes
Moving highway, twisting byway
Can't turn back
Singing in the summer rain
Rain that's caught in its flow
Spreading, shining, silver lining
Gold on black
Echoes moods of the moon and sun
Sun that shines from below
Makes a soft and easy way
Left to choose, its path will always be a friend
Touch the last of what has past
Never idle river drifting to the end

You say you think I'm beautiful

You gotta keep tellin' me things I want to hear
You gotta say pretty words every time you're near
You gotta show me that you care
So I'll know you'll be there right through the years
Please tell me, please tell me things I want to hear
Pretty words, pretty words, pretty words
Tell me the words that touch my heart
Promise you want me to stay
Tell me that we will never part
Say I'm the one you'll be loving more each day
You gotta keep tellin' me things I want to hear
You gotta say pretty words every time you're near
You gotta show me that you care
So I'll know you'll be there right through the years
Please tell me, please tell me things I want to hear
Pretty words, pretty words, pretty words
Words I wanna hear (pretty words)...

Rito De Agujeros Y Cipreses
Rito De Agujeros Y Cipreses
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Nada es nuestro, tuyo y mío
ni ese miedo de perderse
al juntar un beso ambiguo
que queríamos valiente
Nada es nuestro, tuyo y mío
ni esa nube que, inconsciente
se dormía como un niño
en el seno de tu vientre
Nada es nuestro, tuyo y mío
ni ese odio que fue siempre
presuroso sinsentido
como un loco impertinente
Nada es nuestro, tuyo y mío
ni el silencio ya indeleble
que nos une en este rito
de agujeros y cipreses

The Thing
The Thing
Composer(s): Charles Randolph Grean
Performer(s): Phil Harris
and multiple other artists
While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day
I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin’ in the bay
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise
Ooh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes
Oh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes
I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king
I took it to a guy I knew who’d buy most any thing
But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, before I call a cop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom before I call a cop
I turned around and got right out, a-runnin’ for my life
And than I took it home with me to give it to my wife
But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don’t come back no more
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don’t come back no more
I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet
A hobo who was looking for a hand-out on the street
He said he’d take most any old thing, he was a desperate man
But when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran
Oh, when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran
I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate
Until one day I came upon St. Peter at the gate
And when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go
Get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below
The moral of this story is if you’re out on the beach
And you should see a great big box and it’s within your reach
Don’t ever stop and open it up, that’s my advice to you
‘Cause you’ll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do
Oh, you’ll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do

Ritme Van De Regen

((French Version: En Écoutant La Pluie (Richard Anthony) - 1963))
Composer(s): John Gummoe - Gerrit den Braber
Performer(s): Rob de Nijs - 1963
Zachtjes tikt de regen tegen 't zolderraam
't ritme van de eenzaamheid
Die regen zegt wij waren zo gelukkig saam, maar nu is dat verleden tijd
De regen valt bij stromen, 't is een trieste dag
want je liet staan me alleen
Ik ken nu de betekenis van tegenslag, omdat je met m'n hart verdween
Kom vertel me regen, regen wat je doet
Zeg, maak je 't tussen ons toch weer een beetje goed
'k Heb niks aan een ander, want ik hou alleen van haar
De regen valt bij stromen, 't is een trieste dag
Want je liet me staan alleen
Ik ken nu de betekenis van tegenslag, omdat je met m'n hart verdween
Kom vertel me regen, regen wat ik voel,
O, maak haar hartje vurig want ze is zo koel
O, vraag, beste regen aan de zon hoe of je dat doet
Zachtjes tikt de regen tegen 't zolderraam, 't ritme van de eenzaamheid
Die regen zegt wij waren zo gelukkig saam, maar dat is nu verleden tijd
