A Rose And A Baby Ruth
A Rose And A Baby Ruth
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): George Hamilton IV
and multiple other artists
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
We had a quarrel
A teenage quarrel
Now I'm as blue as I know how to be
I can't call you on the phone
I can't even see you at your home
So I'm sending you this present
Just to prove that I'm telling the truth
Dear, I believe you won't laugh when you receive
This rose and a Baby Ruth
(Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, ahh)
I could have sent you an orchid of some kind
But that's all I had in my jeans at the time
But when we grow up
Some day I'll show up
Just to prove I was telling the truth
I'll kiss you, too, then I'll hand to you
This rose and a Baby Ruth
(Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, ooh)

Waarom 2000
Waarom 2000
Composer(s): Fred Bekky
Performer(s): Ann Christy
Ik weet niet meer hoever het staat
begrijp niet langer waarover het gaat
Alles mag als men je niet ziet
lief zijn voor elkaar dat past hier niet
Gelul dat moet van de teevee
maar al die praatshows wat moeten w’ ermee?
Kan geweld niet schuil gaan in een woord?
Ik zie vaker mensen door woorden vermoord
Waarom?
Zeg me waarom!
Waarom zijn wij zo brutaal?
We praten maar raak
maar zijn zo glad als een aal
Bloed zie je vloeien
maar inwendige pijn...
Ja, daar loop je mee rond
en je lacht voor de schijn
Waarom?
Romantiek is ouderwets
doe liever mee aan dat «zinnig» geklets
Je gevoelens tonen dat is taboe
want dan sta je zwak en dan roepen ze boe!
Waarom?
Zeg me waarom!
Waarom zijn wij zo brutaal?
We praten maar raak
maar zijn zo glad als een aal
Bloed zie je vloeien
maar inwendige pijn...
Ja, daar loop je mee rond
en je lacht voor de schijn
Waarom?

A Rosa
A Rosa
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Arrasa o meu projeto de vida
Querida, estrela do meu caminho
Espinho cravado em minha garganta
Garganta
A santa às vezes troca meu nome
E some
E some nas altas madrugada
Coitada, trbalha de plantonista
Artista, é doida pela Portela
Ói ela
Ói ela, vestida de verde e rosa
A Rosa garante que é sempre minha
Quietinha, saiu pra comprar cigarro
Que sarro, trouxe umas coisas do Norte
Que sorte, voltou toda sorridente
Demente, inventa cada carícia
Egípcia, me encontra e me vira a cara
Odara, gravou meu nome na blusa
Abusa, me acusa
Revista os bolsos da calça
A falsa limpou a minha carteira
Maneira, pagou a nossa despesa
Beleza, na hora do bom me deixa, se queixa
A gueixa
Que coisa mais amorosa
A Rosa
Ah, Rosa, e o meu projeto de vida
Querida, estrela do meu caminho
Espinho cravado em minha garganta
Garganta
A santa às vezes me chama Alberto
Alberto
Decerto sonhou com alguma novela
Penélope, espera por mim bordando
Suando, ficou de cama com febre
Que febre
A lebre, como é que ela é tão fogosa
A Rosa
A Rosa jurou seu amor eterno
Meu terno ficou na tinturaria
Um dia me trouxe uma roupa justa
Me gusta, me gusta
Cismou de dançar um tango
Meu rango sumiu lá da geladeira
Caseira, seu molho é uma maravilha
Que filha, visita a família em Sampa
Às pampa, às pampa
Voltou toda descascada
A fada, acaba com a minha lira
A gira, esgota a minha laringe
Esfinge, devora a minha pessoa
À toa, a boa
Que coisa mais saborosa
A Rosa
Ah, Rosa, e o meu projeto de vida?
Bandida, cadê minha estrela guia?
VAdia, me esquece na noite escura
Mas jura
Me jura que um dia volta pra casa

Waarheen leidt de weg die we moeten gaan
Waarvoor zijn wij op aard
Wie weet wat er is achter ster en maan
Hoe lang duurt nog de nacht
Waar ligt het land waar we mogen zijn
En wat is de taak die ons wacht
Waar is de geest die met ons leeft
Die ons de vrede geeft
Waar staat de poort die ons binnen laat
En die ons ook beschermt
Hoe veel offers werden er gebracht
Toch nog blijft het nacht
Waar dan is het licht op ons duistere pad
De hand die ons geleidt
En hoe lang, ja hoe lang nog duurt de tijd
Dat wij zijn bevrijd
Waarheen leidt de weg die wij moeten gaan
Waarvoor zijn wij op aard
Wie weet wat er is achter ster en maan
Hoe lang duurt nog de nacht

A Room Without Windows
A Room Without Windows
Composer(s): Ervin Drake
Performer(s): Benny Goodman
and multiple other artists
A room without windows, a room without doors
A room where no guy but I can spy the charms that are yours
Like being marooned on an island
Far from civilized shores
You and me in a room without windows
A room without doors
No bells will be ringing, no telephone calls
In our little well-secluded cell of ceiling and walls
While dozens of males sit 'n' chew their nails
And hate me because
I am yours in a room without windows
A room without doors
If they said "Friend, how would you like to spend The long hereafter?"
I'd tell them what we're after is a one-way ticket to
A room without keyholes, a room with no view
We'd like to reside there, hide there for an era or two
Completely wrapped up in each other
While the whole world ignores
You and me in a room without windows
A room without doors

I Want What I Want When I Want It
I Want What I Want When I Want It
Composer(s): Victor Herbert
Performer(s): Percy Faith
Though fools may prate
Of the married state
And the evils of bachelor life
I’m happier by far
Than the married men are
Who are cursed with a shrew for a wife
I drink my fill if I have the will
With friends who are tried and old
And oft when the company’s good
I stay: I may not get home
Till the break of day
But if dinner is waiting and I am away
There is no one to nag me or scold
For I want what I want when I want it
That’s all that makes life worth the while
For the wine that tonight
Fills my soul with delight
On the morrow may seem to me vile
There’s no worldly pleasure
Myself I deny
There’s no one
To ask me the wherefore or why
I eat when I’m hungry
And drink when I’m dry, for
I want what I want when I want it!
The fireside joys with the fuss and noise
Of children who fight and squall
May do for the man
On the home-staying plan
But it wouldn’t suit me, not at all!
Of course, your life, if you have no wife
Is lonesome at times, and slow, but
Whether you marry or not, they say
You’re bound to regret it either way
Let those who are single
Be sorry who may
I’d be sorrier married, I know

Waar Het Hart Zo Van Vol Is
Waar Het Hart Zo Van Vol Is
Performer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen
Kleine broertje kreeg een auto
En een gangsterhoed in leer
Ook een echte cowboylasso
En een indianenspeer
Al zegt wie 'dat ook is mis'
Kleine broer wordt vast een rover
Daar waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Mama's hebben hun verlangen
Een salon en een tapijt
Alle kamers weer behangen
En om 't werk te doen een meid
Al zegt papa 'dat is mis'
Denk jij dat ik centen tover
Daar waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ik wil altijd bij je leven
Ieder uur van elke dag
En je duizend kussen geven
En genieten van je lach
Ik weet dat ik mij niet vergis
Als ik jou voorgoed verover
Daar waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Waarom heb je in je leven
Elke dag een nieuwe wens
Alles zou je willen geven
Maar er is altijd een grens
Wacht je op een erfenis
Of een huisje in het lover
Daar waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is

A Room With A View
A Room With A View
Composer(s): Noel Coward
First performance by: Jessie Matthews, Sonnie Hale, Adrienne Brune - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists
I've been cherishing
Through the perishing
Winter nights and days
A funny little phrase that means so much to me
That you've got to be with me heart and soul
For on you the whole thing leans
Come with me and leave the noisy crowds
Sunlight shines for us above the clouds
Please don't turn away
Or my dream will stay
Hidden out of sight,
Among a lot of "might have beens"!
A room with a view, and you
And no one to worry us
No one to hurry us through
This dream we've found
We'll gaze at the sky, and try
To guess what it's all about
Then we will figure out why
The world is round
We'll be as happy and contented as birds upon a tree
High above the mountains and the sea
We'll bill and we'll coo-ooo-oo
And sorrow will never come
Oh, will it ever come true
Our room with a view
A room with a view, and you
And no one to give advice
That sounds like a paradise few
Could fail to choose
With fingers entwined, we'll find
Relief from the preachers
Who always beseech us to mind
Our P's and Q's
We'll watch the whole world pass before us while we are sitting still
Leaning on our own window sill
We'll bill and we'll coo-ooo-oo
And maybe a stork will bring
This, that and t'other thing
To our room with a view

Waar En Wanneer
Waar En Wanneer
Performer(s): Bob Benny
Lieveling, waar en wanneer
Vraagt m'n hart keer op keer
Sinds de dag dat je mij
Rendez-vous hebt beloofd
Maar ik wacht reeds zo lang
Meer en meer zwelt de drang
Kom aarzel niet langer meer
Zeg me waar en wanneer
't Was waarschijnlijk bij jou
Geen bedoeling van trouw
En jij dacht er niet aan
Hoe het mij zou vergaan
Jaren heb ik vergeefs
Vol verlangen gewacht
Toch vraag ik steeds als weleer
Zeg me waar en wanneer
Jaren heb ik vergeefs
Vol verlangen gewacht
Toch vraag ik steeds als weleer
Zeg me waar en wanneer

A Room Full Of Nothing
A Room Full Of Nothing
Composer(s): Damon Albarn - Terry Hall
Performer(s): Terry Hall
And whoever said
it was meant to be easy
was someone who knew how to cope
not aimlessly walk
round and round in a circle
to end up without any hope
and the constant reminder
of all that you've missed
from everyone you'll never know
it's hard to stay in
with the popular crowd
but oh so much harder to go
some have it all
like the world at their feet
others have streets with no names
there are those quite prepared
to give up their souls
others who won't play the game
and the constant reminder
of all that you've missed
from everyone that you'll never know
it's hard to stay in
with the popular crowd
but oh so much harder to go
but don't send me postcards
with felt tip best wishes
withering roses, and lip sticky kisses
forget reminiscing
I know what I'm missing
I've got to break free
from this thing that is me
and the constant reminder
of all that I am
and everything I'll never be
'cos all that I've left
is this room full of nothing, but me
in a room full of nothing but me
in a room full of nothing but me
in a room full of nothing but me
in a room full of nothing but me

Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez
Se me hacia tarde, ya me iba
siempre se hace tarde en la ciudad
cuando me di cuenta estaba vivo
vivo para siempre de verdad
hoy compre revistas en el metro
no pensaba en nada, nada mas
y caí que al fin esto en un juego
todo empieza siempre una vez mas
y a rodar, y a rodar, y a rodar
y a rodar mi vida
y a rodar, y a rodar, y a rodar
y a rodar mi amor
yo no se donde va,
yo no se donde va mi vida
yo no se donde va, pero tampoco creo que sepas vos
quiero salir, si, quiero vivir
quiero dejar una suerte de señal
si un corazón triste pudo ver la luz
si hice mas liviano el peso de tu cruz
nada mas me importa ne esta vida
chau, hasta mañana
y a rodar, y a rodar, y a rodar
y a rodar mi vida
y a rodar, y a rodar, y a rodar
y a rodar mi amor
yo no se donde va,
yo no se donde va mi vida
yo no se donde va, pero tampoco creo que sepas vos
quiero salir, si, quiero vivir
quiero dejar una suerte de señal
si un corazón triste pudo ver la luz
si hice mas liviano el peso de tu cruz
nadie tiene a nadie
yo te tengo a vos
dentro de mi alma
siento que me amas
chau, hasta mañana

Gee, gee I'm so hypnotized
Just one touch of your fingertips
One kiss from your sweet, sweet lips
I'll go wherever you want me to go
Everything I've got, everything I've got, darling is yours
Yes it is (Because I love you)
Lah-lah-lah, hah-hah (Love you)
You got me (Hypnotized) in the spell that you cast

Hypnotized (Fleetwood Mac)
Hypnotized
Composer(s): Bob Welch
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
It's the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because there's no explaining what your imagination
Can make you see and feel
Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized
Now it's not a meaningless question
To ask if they've been and gone
I remember a talk about North
Carolina and a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man's ever made that land
Then I think it would've showed
Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized
They say there's a place down in Mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he don't need an airplane or some kind of engine
And he never will
Now you know it's a meaningless question
To ask if those stories are right
'Cause what matters most if the feeling
You get when you're hypnotized
Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized

A River For Him
A River For Him
Composer(s): Emmylou Harris
First release by: Emmylou Harris - 1988
Covered by: Linda Ronstadt - 1993
I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning
I crossed all the bridges
I watched them all burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange land I'm driven
Where all is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how long
His heart will be breaking
But he'll never hear when
The teardrops are falling
Or the sound of my voice
And the name I'm calling
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
So sweep for the sons
And the dear darling daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For all who have passed through
This world long before me
To a far distant shore line
Where no one waits for me
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

Hymns And Arias
Hymns And Arias
Composer(s): Max Boyce
Performer(s): Max Boyce
We paid our weekly shilling for that January trip
A long weekend in London, aye, without a bit of kip
There's a seat reserved for beer by the boys from Abercarn
There's beer, pontoon, crisps and fags and a croakin 'Calon Lan'
And we were singing hymns and arias
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'
Into Paddington we did roll with an empty crate of ale
Will had lost at cards and now his Western Mail's for sale
But Will is very happy though his money all has gone
He swapped five photos of his wife for one of Barry John
And we were....................
We got to Twickers early and were jostled in the crowd
Planted leeks and dragons, looked for toilets all around
So many there we couldn't budge -twisted legs and pale
I'm ashamed we used a bottle that once held bitter ale
And we were singing hymns and arias
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'
Wales defeated England in a fast and open game
We sang 'Cwm Rhondda' and 'Delilah'
damn, they sounded both the same
We sympathised with an Englishman
whose team was doomed to fail
So we gave him that old bottle, that once held bitter ale!
He started singing hymns and arias
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'
So it's down to Soho for the night
to the girls with the shiny beads
To the funny men with lipstick on
with evil minds and deeds
One said to Will from a doorway dark
damn, she didn't have much on
But Will knew what she wanted
aye...his photo of Barry John!
'Cos she was singing hymns and arias
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'
