Hits Van Toen


Hits Van Toen
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; W. Bellon
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Weet je nog de jaren zestig
De discotrend bestond nog niet
Iedereen zong de liedjes mee
Men danste toen nog met z'n twee
Alles leek toch zo eenvoudig
Computers waren onbekend
Men wist niets af van digitaal
Maar dit zong men in elke zaal
"Als een kus naar tranen smaakt"

Geen video of CD speler
Geen turbo of zestien klep
Op zaterdag moest je nog naar school
De Beatles waren ons idool
Meisjes droegen korte rokjes
De jongens hadden heel lang haar
Op zestien kreeg je een eerste zoen
Luister naar een hit van toen
"Zo mooi, zo blond en zo alleen"

Uitgaan met je vaders auto
Dat was een gebeurtenis
Je vertrok rond kwart voor acht
Maar zeker thuis voor middernacht
De bioscoop deed gouden zaken
Men zag z'n lievelingsfilm in kleur
Kermis was een feest voor jong en oud
Nog een lied waarvan je houdt
"Breng die rozen naar Sandra, 't is misschien niet te laat"

Het is nu al zo lang geleden
Oh wat gaat de tijd toch snel
Een ding blijft toch steeds uniek
De kracht die uitgaat van muziek
"Niemand weet hoeveel ik van je hou"
Dit waren dan de hits van toen

Hit-Parade


Hit-Parade
Composer(s): G. Aber; Tommy Brown
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Dans un fauteuil vous êtes là
Sans problèmes et sans tracas
Moi je dois chercher déjà
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Avec les cuivres on est bon
Faudra-t-il des violons
Elle en pose des questions
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Une chanson qui devra plaire
Au public voilà l'affaire
Qui parlerait de l'amour
Désespéré sans retour

Au courrier des auditeurs
Elle est classée quel bonheur
Par tous les programmateurs
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Je me sens très fatigué
Mon parolier sans idées
Elle n'est pas enregistrée
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Il faut trouver un gimmick
Des sons très psychédelics
Pour danser dans tous les clubs
Alors là on tient le tube

Et voilà mes musiciens
Qui n'y comprennent plus rien
La voilà dans le pétrin
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Des photos pour les journaux
Des questions pour la radio
Et vous écoutez bientôt
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Si vous l'entendez chanter
Un peu partout c'est gagné
Dans les juke-box et les clubs
Alors là je tiens le tube

Stay With Me (Frank Sinatra)


Stay With Me
Composer(s): Jerome Moross - Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



Should my heart not be humble, should my eyes fail to see
Should my feet sometimes stumble on the way, stay with me
Like the lamb that in springtime wanders far from fold
Comes the darkness and the frost, I get lost, I grow cold
I grow cold, I grow weary, and I know I have sinned
And I go seeking shelter and I cry in the wind
And though I grope and I blunder and I kneel and I'm wrong
Though the rose buckles under where I walk, walk along
Till I find to my wonder every task least to see
Or that I can do it, pray, stay with me
Stay with me

Hitchy Koo


Hitchy Koo



Oh! Every evening hear him sing
It's the cutest little thing
With the cutest little swing
Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo

Oh, simply meant for Kings and Queens
Don't you ask me what it means
I just love that Hitchy-koo
Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo

Say he does it just like no-one could
When he does it say he does it good
Oh, every evening hear him sing
It's the cutest little thing
With the cutiest little swing
Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo....

Stay With Me

First release by: Faces - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Woo

Get in there

In the mornin' a don't say you love me
'Cause I'll only kick you outta the door
I know your name is Rita, 'cause your perfume's smellin' sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
Guitar, woo

You won't need to much persuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin'
But with a face like that you got nothing to laugh about
A-red lips, hair and fingernails
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Let's go upstairs and read my tarot cards
Come on honey

Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
Woo yeah
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Ah wacko
Oh ho

So in the mornin', please don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne
Just don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up
C'mon honey

Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me
Sit down, get up, get out
Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me
Hey, what's your name again?
Oh no

Get out
Woo

Oh, oh no

Woo

Get yourself home

Slow down there
Woo, hoo hoo
Wait a minute
Woo

Hitchin' A Ride


Hitchin' A Ride
Composer(s): Peter Callander; Mitch Murray
Performer(s): Vanity Fare



A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It's nearly 1 AM and here am I
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home before the mornin' light

I've got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drownin' in the pourin' rain
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Long-distance call I got today
She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to keep her satisfied

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Won't somebody stop to help a guy
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
I've been away too long from my baby's side

(several times):
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

(repeat):
Ride, ride

Love Or Leave


Love Or Leave
Composer(s): Julija Ritcik
First performance by: 4Fun - 2007



Stars in the sky
When the shadows fall, when the sunlight dies
Empty streets are filled with the pale lamplight
We are just two lonely shades walking in the night

Words lose their sense
When I feel you near, when I touch your hands
I'm trying not to think that at break of dawn
You'll be gone and I'll be lost, numb and all alone

When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Left to live another day, in joy or sadness, on my own
When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Every time at break of dawn

Weak and unwise
I betray all fears that I should disguise
Melting in your arms, I fail to realise
Why the mornings always change the colour of your eyes

When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Every time at break of dawn

Love or leave, I'm with and without you
How come I am up to this senseless game?
How could I stop thinking about you?
Love or leave, don't play with my heart again

Love or leave, I'm with and without you
How come I am up to this senseless game?
How could I stop thinking about you?
Hey... love or leave, don't play with my heart again

Hitch A Ride


Hitch A Ride
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston; Smokin'



Day is night in New York City
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living things that's died

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into
I've got to crack this ice and fly

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Stay While The Night Is Young


Stay While The Night Is Young
Composer(s): Chris Youlden
Performer(s): Savoy Brown; Thaddaeus Quince & The New Originals



Don't worry 'bout the
morning
Because the day might never
come
Don't worry 'bout the
future
Just stay while the night
is young

Don't pretend that it's your
first time
Don't pretend that it's
no fun
Don't tell me 'bout your
mother
Just stay while the night
is young

It's so easy to relax if
you try
Please don't think about the
time going by
You can tell me 'bout the
things on your mind
Just lie back and
unwind

Just experience the
moment
Instead of thinking what's
to come
Can't have the fall before
the summer
So stay while the night
is young

Both:
Bye bye baby
Time to hit the road to dreamland

Well it was divine but the cuckoo has finally crowed
Time to hit the road Time to hit the road

Unsubstantial Blues


Unsubstantial Blues
Composer(s): Magdi Rúzsa - Imre Mózsik
First performance by: Magdi Rúzsa - 2007



How many times have you fooled me and denied that
It's her who you love, and it sure isn't me?
So now that it's over, I'll try and take it sober
Leave questions unasked, remember us laughing at the broken past
God, if I could make it on without you

You're such a casual man, oh, wavin' an empty hand
I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you
Yes, you're a casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose

I used to dream we'd take it nice and easy
Get jobs, settle down in Jameson Town
If now you could see me, you'd think twice about leaving
You said forever is the time you gonna spend around

So why did you leave me?
And why should I believe it?
You say goodbye
Oh, why, oh... why you leave me?
Said, why?

You're such a casual man, oh, wavin' an empty hand
I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you
You're such a casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose

Casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose
Except an evanescent unsubstantial blues

Hit The Road Jack


Hit The Road Jack
Composer(s): Percy Mayfield
Performer(s): Ray Charles



Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back
No more no more no more no more
Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back
No more
What'd you say

Old woman old woman, oh you treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I ever have seen
Well I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)

Now Baby, listen Baby, don't you treat me this-a way
'Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do, 'cause it's understood
You got no money, and you just ain't no good
Well I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)

Well ...
Uh, what you say?
I didn't understand you
You can't mean that ...
Aw now Baby
Please
What you trying to do to me!?

Hit The Ground Running


Hit The Ground Running
Composer(s): Tim Finn
Performer(s): Tim Finn



San Francisco New York City
strangely silent strangely empty
His graffiti filled the subway
But where's my brother
He could keep you up for hours
in a town of wilting flowers
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
Deadly virus so few survivors
creeps up quickly leaves you darkly
But where's my brother
when you're standing shoulder to shoulder
Fear and anger make you bolder
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
He could keep you up for hours
He could keep you up for hours
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
I can always hit the street swaying
but there's no one there to catch you when you fall
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
I went to the river on the Lower East Side
cried and cried and cried and cried
Went to the River on the Lower East Side
I cry cry cry cry cried

Leave Me Alone (Hanna Pakarinen)


Leave Me Alone
Composer(s): Martti Vuorinen - Miikka Huttunen - Hanna Pakarinen
First performance by: Hanna Pakarinen - 2007



I have to leave, but you are still sleeping
There's nothing to say, our time has run out
You took me to bed, that's what you were seeking
But you don't even care what I am about

I wanna, I wanna wake you

Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
The day will still come when I see you crying
'Cause you will get yours, just leave me alone

But what if I stay and wait till she comes home?
She don't even know she loves you in vain
The lies that you told will turn into sorrow
I gotta go crazy just to stay sane

I wanna, I wanna break you

Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
The day will still come when I see you crying
'Cause you will get yours, just leave me alone

I gotta, I gotta hate you

Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I couldn't care less if love just lies dying
And this is goodbye, just leave me alone

Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)


Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)
Composer(s): Mitch Albom; Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon



He was born in Big Beaver by the borderline
He started playing hockey by the time he was nine
His dad took the hose and froze the back yard
And Little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard
He grew up big and he grew up tough
He saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks
But he wasn't that good with a puck

Buddy's real talent was beating people up
His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up
Through pee-wee's and juniors, midgets and mites
He must have racked up more than three hundred fights
A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon
Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon
Son, we've always got room for a goon"

There were Swedes to the left of him
Russians to the right
A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight
Brains over brawn--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?

Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared
When Buddy the goon came over the boards
"Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals"
The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role
The fast guys get paid, they shoot, they score
Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for

Protection is what you're here for
Protection--it's the stars that score
Protection--kick somebody's ass
Protection--don't put the biscuit in the basket just
Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears
Blood on the ice ran down through the years
The king of the goons with a box for a throne
A thousand stitches and broken bones
He never lost a fight on his icy patrol
But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal
He just wanted one damn goal

There were Swedes at the the blue line
Finns at the red
A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head
Brains over brawn--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?

In his final season, on his final night
Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight
Thirty seconds left, the puck took a roll
And suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal

The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot
Twenty years of waiting went into that shot
The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too
And coldcocked Buddy on his follow through
The big man crumbled but he felt all right
'Cause the last thing he saw
was the flashing red light
He saw that heavenly light

There were Swedes to the left of him
Russians to the right
A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight
Take care of your teeth--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?

She was meant, meant to be the one for me
She was once, not now, my only love
Why don't you know, why don't you care
Why don't you realise?
What she did to me, meant to me
Leave me, why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you know, why don't you care
Why don't you realise?
What she did to me, meant to me
Leave me, why don't you leave me alone?
I'd like to make it clear
To make it crystal
To make you know at first, show at first
Leave me

I'd like to make it clear
To make it crystal
To make you know at first, show at first
Leave me

I hate her now, despise her now, loathe her now
Hate hate hate, hate her now, yeah
She's disgusting
Disgusting to me
Why don't you know, why don't you care
Why don't you realise?
What she did to me, meant to me
Leave me, why don't you leave me alone?
On and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on
How much I loved her, loved her

Why don't you know, why don't you care
Why don't you realise?
What she did to me, meant to me
Leave me, why don't you leave me alone?
On and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on
How much I loved her, loved her, loved her
Leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Leave me
Alone

Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick


Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Composer(s): Ian Dury; Chas Jankel
Performer(s): Ian Dury & The Blockheads



In the deserts of Sudan and the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan, ev'ry woman, ev'ry man

Hit me your rhythm stick, hit me, hit me
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich, hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me slowly, hit me quick
Hit me, hit me, hit me

In the wilds of Borneo and the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho, move their body to and fro

Hit me with your rhythm stick, hit me, hit me
Das ist gut, c'est fantastique, hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
It's nice to be a lunatic
Hit me, hit me, hit me

Hit me, hit me, hit me!

In the dock of Tiger Bay, on the road to Mandalay
From Bombay to Santa Fé, o'er the hills and far away

Hit me with your rhythm stick, hit me, hit me
C'est si bon, mm? Ist es nicht? Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Two fat persons, click, click, click
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me, hit me - hit me, hit me ....

Stay Just A Little While
Composer(s): Steve Allen - Eula Parker
Performer(s): Andy Williams



Stay just a little while with me
Say that you'll share a smile with me
I need the touch of a friendly hand
Somehow I know that you'll understand
So, though we have to say adieu
Soon I'll be back again with you
And when tomorrow comes
I promise you that I'll
Stay a little while

And when tomorrow comes
I promise you that I'll
Stay a little while

History Repeating


History Repeating
Composer(s): Alex Gifford
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey;
and various other artists



The word is about, there's something evolving
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving...
They say the next big thing is here
that the revolution's near
But to me it seems quite clear
that it's all just a little bit of history repeating

The newspapers shout a new style is growing
but it don't know if it's coming or going
there is fashion, there is fad
some is good, some is bad
and the joke rather sad
that it's all just a little bit of History repeating

... and I've seen it before
... and I'll see it again
... yes I've seen it before
... just little bits of history repeating

Some people don't dance, if they don't know who's singing
why ask your head, it's your hips that are swinging
Life's for us to enjoy
woman, man, girl and boy
feel the pain, feel the joy
aside set the little bits of history repeating

... just little bits of history repeating
... and I've seen it before
... and I'll see it again
... yes I've seen it before
... just little bits of history repeating
