Liefde alleen
Deel van herinnering
Liefde alleen
Deel van de eeuwigheid
Hoe voor mij 't leven opnieuw begon
Met enkel licht en zon
En ik zie jou nog voor me
Toen liefde kwam
Hevig als laaiend vuur
Alles werd eindeloos en puur
Ik was jong
M'n hart en ziel zo vrij
'k Werd een deel van jou
En jij een deel van mij
Licht was de klank van ons eeuwig bestaan
Ieder gebaar, ieder woord, elke traan
Tedere kleuren vol warmte als jij
Leefde in mijn gedachten
Liefde alleen
Deel van herinnering
Liefde alleen
Deel van de eeuwigheid
Elke dag was weer een nieuw verhaal
Met weer een nieuwe taal
En ik zie jou nog voor me
Toen liefde kwam
Hevig als laaiend vuur
Alles werd eindeloos en puur
Ik was jong
M'n hart en ziel zo vrij
'k Werd een deel van jou
En jij een deel van mij
Tedere kleuren vol warmte als jij
Leefde in mijn gedachten
Liefde alleen
Deel van herinnering
Liefde alleen
Deel van de eeuwigheid
Elke dag was weer een nieuw verhaal
Met weer een nieuwe taal
En ik zie jou nog voor me
Toen liefde kwam
Hevig als laaiend vuur
Alles werd eindeloos en puur
Ik was jong
M'n hart en ziel zo vrij
'k Werd een deel van jou
En jij een deel van mij

Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors
We could be so good together
Ya, so good together
We could be so good together
Ya, we could, I know we could
Tell you lies
I tell you wicked lies
Tell you lies
Tell you wicked lies
Tell you 'bout the world that we'll invent
Wanton world without lament
Enterprise, expedition
Invitation and invention
Ya, so good together
Ah, so good together
We could be so good together
Ya, we could, know we could
Alright!
Do da do do do do do bup bup de day
We could be so good together
Ya, so good together
We could be so good together
Ya, we could, know we could
Tell you lies
Tell you wicked lies
Tell you lies
Tell you wicked lies
The time you wait subtracts the joy
Beheads the angels you destroy
Angels fight, angels cry
Angels dance and angels die
Ya, so good together
Ah, but so good together
We could be so good together
Ya, we could, know we could

J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage
Un matin au pays des cigales
La folie et le génie voyagent
Bien au-delà du temps
Bien par-dessus les océans
J'en ai lu j'en ai tourné des pages
Pendant mes années folles ou sages
Pour quelqu'un qu'on ne met pas en cage
C'est un beau cadeau l'amour en héritage
Et si ma vie se traduit en je t'aime
Si mes chemins ont croisé des torrents
On est toujours un oiseau de bohème
Une enfant du printemps
J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage
Un matin au pays des cigales
La folie et le génie voyagent
Bien au-delà du temps
Bien par-dessus les océans
J'en ai lu j'en ai écrit des pages
Avant de poser mes bagages
J'en ai vu tomber des pluies d'orage
Avant de trouver l'amour en héritage
J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage
Un matin au pays des cigales
La folie et le génie voyagent
Bien au-delà du temps
Bien par-dessus les océans
J'en ai lu j'en ai écrit des pages

J'en ai vu tomber des pluies d'orage
Avant de trouver l'amour en héritage

First release: The Beatles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - Tout Peut s'Arranger (Richard Anthony)
1966 - Nelle Mani Tue (Mike Liddell & Gli Atomi)
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run a risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out

Aber Dann ...
Aber Dann ...
Composer(s): Maria Grever - R.M. Siegel
Performer(s): Greta Keller
Es begann wie ein Spiel
Als wir zwei uns gesehen
Nein, wir fragten nicht viel
Und schon war es geschehen
Aber dann, aber dann
Als der Sturm sich gelegt
War es das aller wert
Daß wir zwei uns gehört
Trafen wir uns zu zweit
Waren wir schon so froh
Für ein Glück ohne Zeit
Irgendwann, irgendwo
Aber dann, aber dann
Als der Sturm sich gelegt
War die Angst das nicht wert
Daß wir zwei uns gehört
Jeder Tag, jede Nacht
Bin ich jetzt ohne dich
Niemals hätte ich gedacht
Du kamst aus ohne mich
Aber dann, aber dann
Es war doch etwas wert
Daß wir zwei uns gehört
Denn nun weiß ich allein
Wie mit dir wird es hier
Nie wieder sein

We Can Talk
We Can Talk
Composer(s): Richard Manuel
Performer(s): The Band
We can talk about it now
It's that same old riddle only starting from the middle
I'd fix it but I don't know how
Well, we could try to reason but you might think it's treason
One voice for all
Echoing across the hall
Don't give up on father clock
We can talk about it now
Come, let me show you how
To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to keep the engine churnin'
Did you ever milk a cow
I had the chance one day but I was all dressed up for Sunday
Everybody, everywhere
Do you really care
Pick up your heads and walk
We can talk about it now
It seems to me we've been holding something underneath our tongues
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
It would likely burst your lungs
Woh, stop me, if I should sound kinda down in the mouth
But I'd rather be burned in Canada than to freeze here in the south
Pulling that eternal plough
We've got to find a sharper blade or have a new one made
Rest awhile and cool your brow
Don't need it, no need to slave, the whip is in the grave
No salt, no trance
It's safe now to take a backward glance
The leaves have turned to chalk
We can talk about it now
We can talk about it now

Zweie, die mich weisen
Zu Himmels-Paradeisen

We Can Reach An Understanding
We Can Reach An Understanding
Composer(s): David & Rozaa
Performer(s): David Essex
You won't ever be entirely mine
But can't we meet from time to time?
We can reach an understanding
Sharing, caring
We can reach an understanding
Half your love is good enough
All or nothing, that's what I should say
But can't we find another way?
We can reach an understanding
Sharing, caring
We can reach an understanding
Half your love is good enough
If there's someone else with a claim on you
Then I shouldn't hope for too much
But I'd rather go for a day or two
Than a life without your touch
We can reach an understanding
Sharing, caring
We can reach an understanding
Half your love is good enough
We can reach an understanding
Sharing, caring...

A-Beggin' I Will Go
A-Beggin' I Will Go
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Ewan MacColl
Of all the trades in England the beggin' is the best
For when a beggar's tired, he can sit him down and rest
And a-beggin' I will go-o-o
And a-beggin' I will go
I've a poke for me ma'le and another for me rye
I've a bottle by me side, to drink when I am dry
I've a poke for me salt an another for me malt
I've a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can halt
I've a poke for me salt an another for me malt
I've a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can halt
I've been abeggin' seven years with me ol' wooden leg
For lame I've been, since I was born, and so I'm forced to beg
I've a poke for me salt an another for me malt
I've a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can halt
In a hollow tree I pass the night, and there I pay no rent
Providence provides for me, and I am well content
I've a poke for me salt an another for me malt
I've a pair of little crutches, you should see how I can halt

We Can Fly
We Can Fly
Composer(s): Bill Cowsill; Steve Duboff; Artie Kornfeld
Performer(s): The Cowsills; Loveletter
See how the fluffy clouds move by us
(See how the clouds move by)
See how the morning mist can hide us away, (hide us away)
And how the day (and how it's) is so much fun!
Isn't it groovy in a daydream? (Dreaming today)
Doesn't it seem the day could never end? (Could never end)
And so, my friend, we're one
Baby, it's funny how I can feel so sunny?
When you're beside me, we can fly!
Oh, we can fly!
Hey, Mr. Wind, just keep us sailing
(Keep us sailing along)
High in the sky, there's no curtaining our fun
So everyone, come on!
Hey, you on the ground!
Take a look up, and see what we've found!
Nothing to tie us, bluebirds come up to guide us
When you're beside me, we can fly!
Oh, we can fly!
We can fly!
Hey!
Everyone on the ground, let's fly!

Abdul Abulbul Amir
Abdul Abulbul Amir (aka The Ballad Of Ivan Petrofsky Skevar)
(Adapted from: Abdulla Bulbul Ameer)
Composer(s): William Percy French
Performer(s): Frank Crumit - 1928
and multiple other artists
The sons of the Prophet are brave men and bold
And quite unaccustomed to fear
But the bravest by far in the ranks of the Shah
Was Abdul Abulbul Amir
If you wanted a man to encourage the van
Or harass the foe from the rear
Storm fort or redoubt, you had only to shout
For Abdul Abulbul Amir
Now the heroes were plenty and well known to fame
In the troops that were led by the Czar
And the bravest of these was a man by the name
Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
One day this bold Russian, he shouldered his gun
And donned his most truculent sneer
Downtown he did go where he trod on the toe
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
"Young man," quoth Abdul, "Has life grown so dull
That you wish to end your career?
Vile infidel know, you have trod on the toe
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"
"So take your last look at the sunshine and brook
And send your regrets to the Czar
For by this I imply, you are going to die
Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar"
"My friend, your remarks in the end
Will avail you but little, I fear
For you ne'er will survive to repeat them alive
Mister Abdul Abulbul Amir"
Then this bold Mameluke drew his trusty skibouk
Singing, "Allah! Il Allah! Al-lah!"
And with murderous intent he ferociously went
For Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
They parried and thrust, they side-stepped and cussed
Of blood they spilled a great part
The philologist blokes, who seldom crack jokes
Say that hash was first made on the spot
They fought all that night neath the pale yellow moon
The din, it was heard from afar
And huge multitudes came, so great was the fame
Of Abdul and Ivan Skavar
As Abdul's long knife was extracting the life
In fact he was shouting, "Huzzah!"
He felt himself struck by that wily Calmuck
Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
The Sultan drove by in his red-breasted fly
Expecting the victor to cheer
But he only drew nigh to hear the last sigh
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir
Czar Petrovich, too, in his spectacles blue
Sauntered up in his gold-plated car
And arrived just in time to exchange a last line
With Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
There's a tomb rises up where the Blue Danube rolls
And engraved there in characters clear
Is, "Stranger, when passing, oh pray for the soul
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"
A splash in the Black Sea one dark moonless night
Caused ripples to spread wide and far
It was made by a sack fitting close to the back
Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar
A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps
Neath the light of the cold northern star
And the name that she murmurs in vain as she weeps
Is Ivan Skavinsky Skavar

We can be together
Ah you and me
We should be together
We are all outlaws in the eyes of America
In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge Fred?

We Call On Him
We Call On Him
Composer(s): Fred Karger; Ben Weisman; Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Allen Karl
We call on Him
Whenever storm clouds gather
We call on Him to light our darkest day
Why must it be that only when we're lonely
And hopes are dim, we call on Him
Why don't we call on Him before we lose our way
To count our blessings and thank Him while we may
We call on Him when no-one else will answer
We ask of Him a reason to go on
When our cup of joy becomes a cup of sorrow
Filled to the brim, we call on Him
Why don't we call on Him before we lose our way
To count our blessings and thank Him while we may

We Built This City
We Built This City
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Martin Page;
Bernie Taupin; Peter Wolf
Performer(s): Jefferson Starship
Chorus
We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Repeat Chorus
Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible write us off the page
Repeat Chorus
It's just another Sunday in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold oh and we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us 'cos we're just simple fools
Looking for America crawling through your schools
(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday I've seen that bumper-to-bumper traffic)
Don't you remember (remember)
(Here's your favorite radio station in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay the city that rocks the city that never sleeps)
Repeat Chorus twice
(We built we built this city) built this city (we built we built this city)
Repeat

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Performer(s): Sesame Street
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
I wish I knew exactly what I mean
It starts out like an A-word
As anyone can see
But somewhere in the middle
It gets awfully QR to me
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
If I ever find out just what this word can mean
I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen
It might be kind of an elephant
Or a funny kind of kazoo
Or a strange exotic turtle
You never see in a zoo
Or maybe a kind of a doggie
A particular shade of blue
Or maybe a pretty flower
Naah, not with a name like that...uh, uh!

We Both Walk
We Both Walk
Composer(s): Tom Shapiro; Chris Waters
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan
Here you are on the porch again
With your hat in your hand and a guilty grin
Well baby I ain't gonna fall for that just because I always have
And I'm not the only one who won't be taken in
Don't you try to come through my door
I can't watch you leave anymore
When you go we both walk
When you go we both walk
You walk away and I walk alone
Whenever you get that itch to go
You think I just sit and wait at home
But I've walked miles behind these walls without getting anywhere at all
And I think I've had enough of going down that road
Don't you try to come through my door
I can't watch you leave anymore
When you go we both walk
When you go we both walk
You walk away and I walk alone
Don't you try to come through my door
I can't watch you leave anymore
When you go we both walk
When you go we both walk
You walk away and I walk alone
You walk away and I walk alone
