Weile Weile Waile


Weile Weile Waile
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Dubliners



Well there was an old woman and she lived in the woods
Weile weile waile
There was an old woman and she lived in the woods
Down by the river Saile

She had a baby 3 months old weile weile waile
She had a baby 3 months old, down by the river Saile

She had a penknife long and sharp, weile weile waile
She had a penknife long and sharp, down by the river Saile

She stuck the penknife in the baby's heart weile weile waile
She stuck the penknife in the baby's heart, down by the river Saile

Three hard knock came knocking on the door, weile weile waile
Three hard knocks came knocking on the door, down by the river Saile

Are you the woman that killed the child weile weile waile
Are you the woman that killed the child, down by the river Saile

The rope was pulled and she got hung weile weile waile
The rope was pulled and she got hung, down by the river Saile

And that was the end of the woman in the woods weile weile waile
And that was the end of the woman in the woods down by the river Saile

Ace Of Hearts


Ace Of Hearts
Composer(s): Steve Ferrone - Alan Gorrie - Hamish Stuart
Performer(s): Average White Band



Just to be with you now
is one thing I can't imagine
'Cos the part you play today
is the one that was missing
And from where I stand right now
I can see - so clearly
that with every passing day
I want more of this magic

You're the ace of hearts
number one in everything
that comes to mind
I think about it all the time
how you won my heart - easy,
Easy was the game you played -
Easy 'cos you had it made

So you see what you have done
and there's no way to undo it
I have only just begun
to understand it
Now on thing is clear to me
there is love and there is real love
and the only way to know
is feel what I'm feeling

You're the ace of hearts
number one in everything
that comes to mind
I think about it all the time
how you won my heart - easy
Easy was the game you played -
Easy 'cos you had it made

Wegen


Wegen
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Al ben ik meer dan eens de weg kwijt
En rij ik hele einden om
Al zou ik niet weten waar je woont
Ik ben op weg om je te vinden
Dus wees gerust vannacht ik kom

Ik zal eindeloos blijven reizen
Zelfs al mis ik de laatste trein
Ik wil alleen maar bij je zijn

Al leiden honderdduizend wegen
Allemaal naar een ander doel
Al zou ik niet weten wie je bent
Ik ben op weg om je te vinden
Vannacht rij ik op m'n gevoel

Laten we er niet aan denken
Hoeveel wegen er nog zijn
Ik wil alleen maar bij je zijn

Al zou ik niet weten waar ik vandaan kom
En ook niet wat ik gister deed
Ik weet alleen maar wat ik wil
Ik ben op weg om je te vinden
En ik weet dat jij dat weet

Hoe ver het ook is, hoe lang de wegen
Vanavond is de wereld klein
Ik wil alleen maar bij je zijn

Hoe ver het ook is, hoe lang de wegen
Vanavond is de wereld klein
Want ik wil bij je zijn
Ik wil alleen maar bij je zijn

Ace In The Hole (Mary Jane Walsh, Sunnie O'Day, Nanette Fabray)


Ace In The Hole
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance by: Mary Jane Walsh, Sunnie O'Day, Nanette Fabray - 1941
Covered by multiple other artists



Sad times, may follow your tracks
Bad times, may bar you from Sak's
At times, when Satan in slacks
Breaks down your self control

Maybe, as often it goes
Your Abe-y, may tire of his rose
So baby, this rule I propose
Always have an ace in the hole

Sad times, may follow your tracks
Bad times, may bar you from Sak's
At times, when Satan in slacks
Breaks down your self control

Maybe, as often it goes
Your Abe-y, may tire of his rose
So baby, this rule I propose
Always have an ace in the hole

Always have an ace in the hole

Weer Gelukkig Zijn


Weer Gelukkig Zijn
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Andy Free
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Klamp je vast aan wat je wereld nog kan geven
Ook al draait die niet zo rond meer als voorheen
Laat je zorgen en problemen niet regeren
Over alles wat je lief is om je heen
In het diepst van onze donker grauwste nachten
Houden jij en ik ons laatste wapen klaar
Want in liefde schuilen ongewone krachten
Die de mensen weer doen leven voor elkaar

Weer gelukkig zijn
Veel meer tederheid
Weer tevreden zijn
Dat is 't geheim
Weer gelukkig zijn
Meer genegenheid
Meer gezelligheid
En neem meer tijd

Geef je kleren weer de kleuren van de vreugde
Laat je in die grijze mensenmassa zien
Durf je weer in elke morgen te verheugen
En geniet van wat het toeval heeft voorzien
Stop een glimlach in de motor van je leven
Speel weer Romeo op zoek naar romantiek
Durf weer vrijen met de zwier van 007
En slik elke dag je dosis fantasie

Weer gelukkig zijn
Veel meer tederheid
Weer tevreden zijn
Dat is 't geheim
Weer gelukkig zijn
Meer genegenheid
Meer gezelligheid
En neem meer tijd
Weer gelukkig zijn
Veel meer tederheid
Weer tevreden zijn
Dat is 't geheim
Weer gelukkig zijn
Meer genegenheid
Meer gezelligheid
En neem meer tijd
Weer gelukkig zijn
Veel meer tederheid
Weer tevreden zijn

Ace In The Hole (George Strait)


Ace In The Hole
Composer(s): Dennis Adkins
Performer(s): George Strait



You've got to have an ace in the hole
A little secret that nobody knows
Life is a gamble, a game we all play
But you need to save something for a rainy day
You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole

If you're headed down a one way street
And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go
In money or love, or all the above
Have a little more than what you show
When life deals out a surprise
Have a few surprises of your own
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole

You've got to have an ace in the hole
A little secret that nobody knows
Life is a gamble, a game we all play
But you need to save something for a rainy day
You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole

Don't put it all on the line for just one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole

Weep No More My Lady (Let Me See Your Smile)


Weep No More My Lady (Let Me See Your Smile)
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert



Harold Jones he courted little Josephine and what a queen, was Josephine
'Till she started reading Laura Libbey Jean
and now's she lost her little winning disposition
no more loving sunny smile, sobbing, sighing, all the while
Harold couldn't stand it, so he said "My dear, I want to say right here"

Crazy 'bout the photo play is Josephine
the crying scene up on the screen reads a novel of every night
and in between woeful Josie cries enough to fill a bucket
'fact I've heard some people say, she read "Three Weeks" in one day
Every time it's raining Harold always sneers "Those are Josie's tears"

Weep no more my lady I want to see your sunny smile!
Stop now, stop now you weeping willow!
All night you cry upon your pillow
Weep no more my lady can't you stop that for awhile
I know you show you're temperamental, but it won't go
please don't be sentimental, 'cause you won me with your wonderful smile

We sit in the same room
Side by side
I give you the wrong lines
Feed you

Look into my eyes
We both smile
I could kill you
Without trying
That's accuracy

Practice all day for accuracy

Weekend In New England


Weekend In New England
Composer(s): Randy Edelman
Performer(s): Barry Manilow;
and various other artists



Last night, I waved goodbye, now it seems years
I'm back in the city, where nothin' is clear
But thoughts of me, holdin' you, bringin' us near

Chorus
And tell me
When will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearnin' end?
And when will I hold you again?

Time in New England, took me away
Long rocky beaches and you by the bay
We started a story whose end must now wait

Chorus

I feel the change comin', I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring!, I feel my blood flow, oh
With you I could bring out all the love that I have
With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad

Chorus

Again

Accroche Un Ruban


Accroche Un Ruban
((Adapted from: Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round The Ole Oak Tree (by Dawn & Tony Orlando) - 1973
Composer(s): Irwin Levine - L. Russell Brown - Jean Broussolle
Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1973



J'ai fait trois ans
J'ai fait mon temps
Pendant trente-six mois
Je n'ai pensé qu'à toit
Si tu as reçu mon mot
Comme quoi j'arrivais bientôt...
Tu sais ce que tu dois faire
Si tu m'aimes encore...
Si tu m'aimes encore...

Accroche un ruban au bord de ton balcon
Ce sera ta façon de dire oui ou non
Et s'il n'y a pas de ruban au bord du balcon
Moi dans mon taxi, j'aurai vite compris
Que tout est fini...
S'il n'y a pas de ruban au bord de ton balcon...

Monsieur l'taxi
Je vous en prie...
Regardez pour moi
Moi je ne pourrai pas...
J'ai si peur qu'elle ne m'aime plus
Je suis complètement perdu...
D'un simple ruban, mais oui
Dépend toute ma vie...
Car, j'avais écrit...

Accroche un ruban au bord de ton balcon
Ce sera ta façon de dire oui ou non
Et s'il n'y a pas de ruban au bord du balcon
Moi dans mon taxi, j'aurai vite compris
Que tout est fini...
S'il n'y a pas de ruban au bord de ton balcon...

Soudains je n'en crois pas mes yeux
Car je vois à l'horizon...
Des milliers de rubans
Au bord de ton balcon...

Weekend (Smokey Robinson)


Weekend
Performer(s): Smokey Robinson



The weekend is near
You're planning what to do
The parents are out
There's a party at stews
You're discussing at lunch
Talking to your friend
Telling him how you want some beer
How you want school to end
The clock in your face
Sitting in your last class
Today's a Friday
You need some beer in your glass
The bell just rang
So you run to your car
You tell the boys to come over
So you make your house look like a bar
You're bearly under-age
So you need a pull-out
Get me Mickeys and Corona
And some lime with no doubt

First release by: Dawn & Tony Orlando - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me
If you still want me

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me? (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

Bus driver, please look for me
'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison
And my love, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me? (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree

I'm comin' home, mmm, mmm

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

Weekend (Earth And Fire)


Weekend
Composer(s): Gerard Koerts; C. Koerts; H. Ziech
Performer(s): Earth And Fire



Sunday and it's so hard to say goodbye
I don't know what to do
bare seems the day without you
Friday night when I'll see you again
you make a fool out of me
I don't wanna be your lover for the weekend

sometimes when I'm looking
at your face there's something in your eyes
that makes me realize we've got no chance
if we're going on this way means such a lot to me
I don't wanna be your lover for this weekend

Love in a woman's heart
I wanna have the whole and not a part
it's strange that this feeling
is growing more and more
'cause I've never loved someone before

According To My Heart


According To My Heart
Composer(s): Gary Walker
First recording/First release by: Jim Reeves - 1956



According to my heart
You're the one for me
The one love of my life
Is here when you're with me

If someone stole your love
My heart would beat no more
For you're the one my heart
Is always longing for

Though I don't know the reason why
My dreams don't turn out right
Still I'll keep listening to my heart
Who knows someday they might

For according to my heart
My future will be bright
And every day I pray
That my heart knows what's right

Though I don't know the reason why
My dreams don't turn out right
Still I'll keep listening to my heart
Who knows someday they might

And every day I pray
That my heart knows what's right...

Weeds


Weeds
Composer(s): Nick Banks; Jarvis Cocker;
Candida Doyle; Steve Mackey; Mark Webber
Performer(s): Pulp



We came across the North Sea with our carriers on our knees
Wound up in some holding camp somewhere outside Leeds
Because we do not care to fight, my friends - we are the weeds
Because we got no homes they call us smelly refugees
Ah

We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth
Thru' cracks in the pavement: there weeds will grow - the places you don't go
This cut-price dairy produce that turns our bones to dust
You want some entertainment?
Go on, shove it up me - if you must
Make believe you're so turned on by planting trees and shrubs
But you come round to visit us when you fancy booze 'n' drugs
Ah

We are weeds, vegetation, etc.
If you think it's a crime
We'd like to get you out of your mind
It's just a matter of time, yeah
We'd like to get you out of your mind
Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah
We'd like to get you out of your mind
For a little time: for all time
Weed

Accordéon


Accordéon
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Juliette Gréco



Dieu que la vie est cruelle
Au musicien des ruelles
Son copain son compagnon
C'est l'accordéon
Qui c'est-y qui l'aide à vivre
À s'asseoir quand il s'enivre
C'est-y vous, c'est moi, mais non
C'est l'accordéon

Accordez accordez accordez donc
L'aumône à l'accordé l'accordéon

Ils sont comme cul et chemise
Et quand on les verbalise
Il accompagne au violon
Son accordéon
Il passe une nuit tranquille
Puis au matin il refile
Un peu d'air dans les poumons
De l'accordéon

Accordez accordez accordez donc
L'aumône à l'accordé l'accordéon.

Quand parfois il lui massacre
Ses petits boutons de nacre
Il en fauche à son veston
Pour l'accordéon
Lui, emprunte ses bretelles
Pour secourir la ficelle
Qui retient ses pantalons
En accordéon

Accordez accordez accordez donc
L'aumône à l'accordé l'accordéon.

Mais un jour par lassitude
Il laissera la solitude
Se pointer à l'horizon
De l'accordéon
Il en tirera cinquante
Centimes à la brocante
Et on fera plus attention
À l'accordéon

Wee, Wee, Marie (Will Yo Do Zis For Me)


Wee, Wee, Marie (Will Yo Do Zis For Me)
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Joe McCarthy; Fred Fisher



Poor Johnny's heart went pitty pat
Somewhere in sunny France
He met a girl by chance with ze naughty naughty glance
She looked just like a kitty kitty cat
She loved to dance and play
Tho' he learned no French when he left the trench
He knew well enough to say

They walked along the boule boulevard
He whispered "You for me
Some day in gay Paree I will make you marry me"
Just then a bunch of bully bully boys
Threw kisses on the sly
Marie got wise when they rolled their eyes
They sang as they passed her by

Wee Wee Marie, will you do zis for me
Wee Wee Marie, then I'll do zat for you
I love your eyes they make me feel so spoony
You'll drive me loony, you're teasing me
Why can't we parleyvous like other sweethearts do
I want a kiss or two from Ma Cherie
Wee Wee Marie, if you'll do zis for me
Then I'll do zat for you
Wee Wee Marie

Accidents Will Happen


Accidents Will Happen
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello



Oh I just don't know where to begin
Though he says he'll wait forever
It's now or never
But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she can't go home
Without a chaperone

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you're not the only one

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I don't want to hear it
'Cause I know what I've done

There's so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on
They say you're so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone

And it's the damage that we do
And never know
It's the words that we don't say
That scare me so

There's so many people to see
So many people you can check up on
And add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on
Until you're well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

And it's the damage that we do
And never know
It's the words that we don't say
That scare me so

I know, I know (repeat)

Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.


Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.
(aka Somewhere They Can't Find Me)
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel



I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight

She is soft, she is warm, but my heart remains heavy
And I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving
And tonight will be all I have left to recall

Oh, what have I done; why have I done it
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law
For twenty-five dollars and pieces of silver
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store

My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion
A scene badly written in which I must play
Yet I know as I gaze at my young love beside me
The morning is just a few hours away

Accidents Never Happen


Accidents Never Happen
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri
First release by: Blondie - 1979



No, I don't believe in luck
No, I don't believe in circumstance no more
Accidents never happen in a perfect world, so I won't believe in luck
I saw you walking in the dark, so I slipped behind your footsteps for a while
Caught you turning 'round the block...
Fancy meeting in a smaller world
After all, accidents never happen
Could have planned it all
Precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Complications disappear
Now you love me
I, yeah, I can tell
I never lied
I never cried
And you, you knew so well
Like the Magi on the hill, I can divinate your presence from afar
And I'll follow you until I can bring you to a perfect world
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Accidents never happen
