2 Years On
2 Years On
Composer(s): Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees
One year, two years, time goes by
People laugh and people cry
Ev'ry morning the clock strikes eight
I go to work. I close the gate
And on my way, I sing a song
About my wife, where I belong
If the clouds get together and talk about the weather
If it's rain they anticipate
Baby make no mistake
Yes the storm will break but never me you see
Two years on
Two years on
But only you can see me
Only you can see me
For what I've got
Sir Lancelot was just a dream and I am not
For I am he with something more
It's you and I reality
If the cloud get together and talk about the weather
If it's rain they anticipate
Baby, make no mistake
Yes the storm will break but never me you see
Two years on
Two years on
But only you can see me
Only you can see me
Two years on
Two years on
Ah...

I'd Rather Be Me
I'd Rather Be Me
Composer(s): Felix Bernard; Eddie Cherkose; Sam Coslow
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
For anyone else would never have you to love
I’m awfully glad to be just plain little me
No hero supreme, just someone you’re dreaming of
If I were Sinatra
Or someone like Bing
And you weren’t beside me
What would it mean, not a thing
I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
Somehow I find it more fun
Just being the one you love
Oh yes indeed, yes indeed
I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
Somehow I find it more fun
Just being the one you love

Kijk In De Spiegel
Kijk In De Spiegel
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; N. Byl
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Geef de schuld niet aan een ander
Als die jou niet meer begrijpt
Zeg niet hop en je verandert
Op zo een korte tijd
Kijk in de spiegel
Kijk in de spiegel
Vlak in het gelaat
Van wie daar voor je staat
En voordat je durft beweren
Dat je nooit wat hebt misdaan
En je van je hele leven
Geen hart hebt pijn gedaan
Kijk in de spiegel
Kijk in de spiegel
Vlak in het gelaat
Van wie daar voor je staat
Iedereen heeft zijn gebreken
Eigen schuld herken je niet
Maar indien je eens wil weten
Hoe een ander je wel ziet
Zie je steeds dezelfde ogen
Even vriendelijk en klaar
Die van eerlijkheid getuigen
Of die van een huiver lacht
Kijk in de spiegel
Kijk in de spiegel
Vlak in het gelaat
Van wie daar voor je staat
Iedereen heeft zijn gebreken
Eigen schuld herken je niet
Maar indien je eens wil weten
Hoe een ander je wel ziet
Geef de schuld niet aan een ander
Als die jou niet meer begrijpt
Zeg niet hop en je verandert
Op zo een korte tijd
Kijk in de spiegel
Kijk in de spiegel
Vlak in het gelaat
Van wie daar voor je staat

Two Ton Tessie (From Tennessee)
Two Ton Tessie (From Tennessee)
Composer(s): Lou Handman - Roy Turk
Performer(s): Mickey Guy's Hottentots
and multiple other artists
Down in Nashville, Tennessee (Oh yeah)
There's a sight you oughta see (Oh yeah)
But as long as you can't get down there
I'll tell you all, so listen to me
There's a girl named Tessie Town (Oh yeah)
And she weighs about four hundred pounds (Oh yeah)
She's fat and fair, she don't care
'Cause the boys all hang around
They call her Two Ton Tessie from Tennessee
Holds ten sweeties up on her knee
When she does, all the fun begins
When they play tennis on her double-chin
They all answer to her demands
And bring her tires for wedding bands
But I just got a little inside tip
They promised her a nightclub on her hip
Yeah, Two Ton Tessie from Nashville, Tennessee
(She's from Tennessee)
(Ev'ry time she struts around) Uh-huh
(She puts on an extra pound) Is that right?
(But it doesn't seem to worry her)
(The weight is making Tessie reknowned)
(Is a-trying to reduce)
(And she's got a good excuse)
(Fat and fair, but she don't care)
('Cause the boys all hang around)
(They call her) Two Ton Tessie from Tennessee
Goes in swimming up to her knee
Once she went in to her neck
The tide rose up and made the town a wreck
She was hit on the railroad track
Engines hit her and bounced right back
Her appendix had to come out fast
They couldn't operate, so they had to blast
On Two Ton Tessie from Nashville, Tennessee
(She's from Tennessee)
On a streetcar I heard 'em say
Six men gave her a seat one day
All the baseball players have stopped their gym
They run around Tessie just to stay in trim
Two ton Tessie from Knoxville, I mean a-Memphis
Oh-ah, Nashville, Tennessee
(She's from Tennessee) A-that's right!

I'd Rather Be Blue Over You (Than Happy With Somebody Else)
I'd Rather Be Blue Over You (Than Happy With Somebody Else)
Composer(s): Fred Fisher; Billy Rose
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
I'd rather be blue thinking of you
I'd rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else
I'm crazy about'cha, without'cha
For you I'm strong
I can't do without'cha
Howcha magoucha?
Don't stay too long
I need a little ah, bedroom, little oh
And I'm knocking on wood
Ah, honey hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
It's so hard to be good
I'd rather be blue thinking of you
I'd rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else
Will I be good? Will I be bad?
Don't be a fool, you fool
My little flat, I'm turning that
Into a Sunday school
While you're away, I'm here to say
There'll be no iceman there
Singin' the blues I'm gonna use
Nothin' but Frigidaire
I'd rather be blue thinking of you
I'd rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else
Blue over you, I'd rather be blue over you
Than be hap-hap-hap-happy
With somebody else

Kijken Hoe Het Morgen Wordt
Kijken Hoe Het Morgen Wordt
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Wees stil en blijf nog even
In dit warme, witte bed
Luisteren naar het eerste leven
Nog is de nacht niet weggedreven
Onze dromen op de tocht gezet
Nu wordt de kamer licht en kouder
De slaap was ons alweer te kort
En jouw gezicht lijkt plotseling ouder
Terwijl je peinzend over m'n schouder
Ligt te kijken hoe het morgen wordt
Jij denkt aan al die uren
Van werk en haast en vlijt
Geen tijd voor tedere avonturen
Tussen de duizend blinde muren
Van brood en haat en nijd
De krant ligt in de bus te wachten
En strakjes ligt die op je bord
Een droevig ding vol jammerklachten
Kom, laten we nog even wachten
En kijken hoe het morgen wordt
De avond veegt ons samen
Vermoeid en soms gewond
We zitten ons verward te schamen
Verwonderd hoe we zover kwamen
Dan snoert het eten ons de mond
Vertrouwen we op loze kreten
Of is de dag alweer te kort
We zullen nooit de waarheid weten
Kom, laten we vandaag vergeten
Laten we vandaag vergeten
En kijken hoe het morgen wordt

Two Teardrops
Two Teardrops
Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Steve Wariner
Performer(s): Steve Wariner; The Countdown Singers
Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
One teardrop said to the other
I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love
I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry
She was so happy she just got married
I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove
I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
The other tear said we've got a connection
I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame
She told him they would be lifelong companions
Left him with questions and not any answers
I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name
I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
Two more teardrops somebody cried
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
And someday they'll be teardrops again
Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain
Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again
Last night I sat in the waiting room
The nurse walked in and gave me the news
It's a baby girl and they're both fine
An old man sittin' not 10 feet away
Just lost his wife and he said to me
You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine
I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away
And we both wiped a teardrop from our face
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
Two more teardrops somebody cried
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
A whole new circle of life begins
Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain
'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again
Two teardrops floatin' down the river
Two teardrops floatin' down the river

I'd Rather Be
I’d Rather Be
Composer(s): Cindy Walker
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
I'd Rather Be in a dirty old jailhouse
Wearing a ball and a chain
Than be with a girl who don’t love me
Chained by a wedding ring
I'd rather be just an old lonesome hobo
Riding the rails where they whine
Than stay with a girl who don’t want me
And lets me know it all the time
And so you’re free you can go were you want to
I wouldn’t stand in you way
If you don’t want me I don’t want you
And there’s nothing else left to say
I'd Rather Be in my grave six feet under
Shaded by some faithful tree
Than be with a girl who’s unfaithful
And that’s what you’d rather be
Ah Buddy Edmonds now
And so you’re free you can go were you want to
I wouldn’t stand in you way
If you don’t want me I don’t want you
And there’s nothing else left to say
Because I'd Rather Be in my grave six feet under
Shaded by some faithful tree
Than be with a girl who’s unfaithful
And that’s what you’d rather be

Kilburn Towers
Kilburn Towers
Composer(s): Robin Gibb; Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees; Idle Wilds
I am a bird
watch me go drifting by
With my feathers of power
I laugh as the hours go slowly by
That could mean ev'rything
I am a street watching the people walk.
As I listen their conversations glisten as they start to talk
Then I hear ev'rything
Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers
as we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill
till the early hours
Then I am ev'rything
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers
(music)
That could mean ev'rything
Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers
as we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill
till the early hours
Then I am ev'rything
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers

Two Summers
Two Summers
Composer(s): Bruce Woodley
Performer(s): The Seekers
The blue sky grows dark now
You're gone, you're gone
The good times have gone with you
You're gone
No use in me wishing, You're far, far away
Far away, away
gone from me
Our love knew two summers
But now you're gone
The days pass to winter
You're gone
Yet often I've wished that time would stand still
Time would stand still, still
You're gone from me
Two summers, two winters
And the time between
Yes, those were the good years
The years of gold and green
Two summers, two winters
And the time between
Yes, those were the good years
The years of gold and green
The warm winds grow cold now
You're gone, you're gone
My love couldn't hold you
You're gone
You were wild as the wind and born to be free
Born to be free, free
And gone from me
And gone from me

Who's Leaving Who
Who's Leaving Who
Composer(s): Mark Spiro; Jack White
Performer(s): Anne Murray; Hazell Dean
Here we are with goodbye in our eyes
running out of reasons to try
the leaves of change have fallen down
with both of us wondering why
We're all alone but still it seems
We’re thousands of miles apart
the sense of time has shifted now
and the end is beginning to start
'Cause I don't know the answers
'cause I don't know the questions
I'm just crying 'cause I don't even know
Who's leaving who
is it me
is it you
d’you think we could change
if we knew
tell me who's leaving who
is there anything left we can do
can you tell me who's leaving who
Talk to me is there a chance
of working it out heart to heart
when we get beyond our angry eyes
before everything else falls apart
'Cause I don't know the answers
'cause I don't know the questions
I'm just crying 'cause I don't even know
Who's leaving who
is it me
is it you
you think we could change
if we knew
tell me who's leaving who
is there anything left we can do
can you tell me who's leaving who
Tell me who's leaving who
is it me
is it you
d’you think we could change
if we knew
tell me who's leaving who
is there anything left we can do
can you tell me who's leaving who
Tell me who's leaving who
is it me
is it you ...

Two Steps From The Blues
Two Steps From The Blues
Composer(s): Johnny Brown - Deadric Malone
First recording/First release: Bobby Bland - 1960/1961
One day from the month, I first met you
your promises proved to be untrue
Step by step, I've been a fool
That's why I'm two steps from the blues
Here is a chance to be loved or be lonely
my heart awaits your call
I know it's better to have loved and lost
than never have loved at all
The reason we didn't get along,
was telegram and telephone
One brings badness, the other rendevouz
That keeps me two steps from the blues
So darling let's try and make amends
and if it should fail, let's try and try again
It makes no difference what you say or do
I'm so forgiving, I'm so forgiving
I can't stand living two steps from the blues

I'd Never Find Another You
I’d Never Find Another You
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): Billy Fury
and multiple other artists
Don’t ever worry that I’d leave you
That’s such a foolish thing to do
How could I ever go
When in my heart I know
I’d never find another you
I might find other arms to hold me
But they’d only leave me blue
The thrill of your embrace
Is what I can’t replace
I’d never find another you
Though there are times when we may quarrel
I can’t stay mad at you
For more than just a minute or two, now
I know I’d never want to leave you
‘Cause if I search my whole life through
I know there’d only be a second best for me
I’d never find another you
I know I’d never want to leave you
‘Cause if I search my whole life through
I know there’d only be a second best for me
I’d never find another you
I’d never find another you

Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
Well here you come and I know what I'm gonna say
My mind's made up and I'm a leavin' you today
Well I'm tired of askin' you where you've been
I'm tired of all this mis'ry I'm in
Two steps forward and six steps back again
Well my clothes're packed and I'm a headin' for the door
Don't look for me back cause I won't be back no more
Well I may think of you now and then
But don't hold your breath cause I don't know when
Two steps forward and six steps back again
Two steps forward and six steps back
You think I didn't want to go
These tears in my eyes they're not so real
I'm just puttin' on a show
I'm leavin' this town and that's for certain
Not much I ain't a cryin' not much I ain't a hurtin'
Two steps forward and six steps back again
Two steps forward and six steps back...
Yeah two steps forward and six steps back again

I'd Love To Live In Loveland (With A Girl Like You)
Composer(s): W.R. Williams
Performer(s): The Chordettes; Dennis Day
I want to tell you a story
A story of love that is true
Fill'd with adventure and glory
Of wonderful things we can do
Though we have trouble with Cupid
Love always finds the way
Though the story is old
'Tis the sweetest that's told
So dearie, I just want to say
Ev'rything's lovely in loveland
Where ev'ry heart's beating in tune
Like turtle doves are in Doveland
And life seems a grand honeymoon
There we can stroll in the moonlight
By babbling brooks we'll stray
Won't you come, girl of mine
To that wonderful clime
And lovelight will show us the way
I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you
And ev'ry day a holiday with skies of baby blue
Where roses bloom forever, and sweethearts are always true
I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you
I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you
And ev'ry day a holiday with skies of baby blue
Where roses bloom forever, and sweethearts are always true
I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you

Killarney, My Home Ov'r The Sea
Killarney, My Home Ov'r The Sea
Composer(s): Frederic Knight Logan
There's a place in Old Ireland that's dear to my heart
't Is the scene of my childhood so fair
From its hills and its valleys, 't was sadness to part
From the Lakes of Killarney
With beauty so rare
Tho' a stranger, alone o'er this wide world I stray
And thy lakes and thy mountains no longer I see
Still the bloom of that valley in mem'ry shall stay
For Erin, Mavourneen, my heart beats for thee
Sure there ne'er was a land where the grass grew so green
Nor a place where the sky was more fair
With the rocks and the rills one harmonious scene
By the Lakes of Killarney
With beauty so rare
I remember the colleens and lads who were there
As they danced in the glen on a bright summer's night
To the pipers glad tune as it rang on the air
Oh to think of that scene, fills my heart with delight
And I long for dear Ireland, Green Isle of the West
Where the shamrock and flow'rs bloom'd for me
There the Angels of Peace fold their bright wings and rest
By the Lakes of Killarney, my home o'er the sea
