Alone (i-TEN)
Alone
Composer(s): Tom Kelly - Billy Steinberg
First release by: i-TEN - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
You don't know how long I have wanted to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own and my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone

With A Little Bit Of Luck
With A Little Bit Of Luck
(Dutch Version: As 'T Efkes Kan, Ja Dan)
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway, Gordon Dilworth, Rod McLennan
and multiple other artists
The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
So he could do his job and never shirk
The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
Someone else will do the blinkin' work
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you'll never work)
The Lord above made liquor for temptation
To see if man could turn away from sin
The Lord above made liquor for temptation
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
When temptation comes you'll give right in
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you'll give right in)
Oh you can walk the straight and narrow
But with a little bit of luck you'll run amok
The gentle sex was made for man t'marry
To share his nest and see his food is cooked
The gentle sex was made for man t'marry
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
You can have it all and not get hooked
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you won't get hooked)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)
The Lord above made man to help his neighbor
No matter where on land or sea or foam
The Lord above made man to help his neighbor
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
When he comes around you won't be home!!
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you won't be home)
They're always throwing goodness at you
But, with a little bit of luck a man can duck
Oh it's a crime for man to go philanderin'
And fill his wife's poor heart with grief and doubt
Oh it's a crime for man to go philanderin'
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
You can see the bloodhound don't find out
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck she won't find out)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)
A man was made to help support his children
Which is the right and proper thing to do
A man was made to help support his children
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
They'll go out and start supporting you
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck they'll work for you)
(He doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket)
(The poorest bloke you'll ever hope to meet)
(He doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket)
(But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck)
(He'll be movin' up to Easy Street)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck I'm movin' up)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)

Alone (Bee Gees)
Alone
Performer(s): Bee Gees
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron man
I had a master plan
But I was alone
I could hear you breathing
With a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what a night it's been
And for the state I'm in
I'm still alone
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow I always end up alone
Always end up alone
So I play, I'll wait
'Cause you know that love takes time
We came so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
And since you're busy every minute.
I just stay at home
I make believe you care
I feel you everywhere
But I'm still alone
I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
'Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate
Am I the subject of the pain
An I the stranger in the rain
I am alone
And if there glory there to behold
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told
So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told
So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
Gone, but not out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone
Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean
And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home

With A Gun
With A Gun
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan
I could be wrong but I have seen your face before
You were the man that I saw running from his door
You owed him money but you gave him something more
With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?
You were the founders of the clinic on the hill
Until he caught you with your fingers in the till
He slapped your hand so you settled up your bill
With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?
When you’re born to play the fool
And you’ve seen all the western movies
Woe to the one who does you wrong
You hide in the bushes
Murder the man
With luger in hand
I understood that you will soon be leavin’ town
Don’t try to call me when they finally run you down
Just give fair warning any time you come around
With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?

Composer(s): Queen Liliuokalani
Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1961
Proudly swept the rain cloud by the cliffs
As on it glided through the trees
Still following ever the "liko"
The "Ahihi lehua" of the vale...
Farewell to thee
Farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwellst among the bow'rs
One fond embrace
Before I now depart
Until we meet again
Thus sweet memories come back to me
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own
From thee, true love shall ne'er depart
I have seen and watched thy loveliness
Thous sweet Rose of Maunawili
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip the honey from thy lips
Proudly swept the rain cloud by the cliffs
As on it glided through the trees
Still following ever the "liko"
The "Ahihi lehua" of the vale...
Farewell to thee
Farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwellst among the bow'rs
One fond embrace
Before I now depart
Until we meet again
Thus sweet memories come back to me
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own
From thee, true love shall ne'er depart
I have seen and watched thy loveliness
Thous sweet Rose of Maunawili
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip the honey from thy lips

Witchy Woman
Witchy Woman
Composer(s): Bernie Leadon; Don Henley
Performer(s): The Eagles
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spriit on an endless flight
Woo-hoo witchy woman, see how high she flies
Woo-hoo witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes
She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
You know she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Ah
I know you want to love her, but let me tell you brother
She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
There's some rumors going round
Someone's underground
She can rock you in the night until your skin turns red

Neem Eens Een Kind Bij De Hand
Neem Eens Een Kind Bij De Hand ((Ode Aan Maastricht (Benny Neyman) - 1979))
((Adapted from: Prendre Un Enfant (Yves Duteil) - 1978))
Composer(s): Yves Duteil - Henri Heymans - Luk Vandriessche
Performer(s): Paul Roelandt - 1980
Versions In Other Languages:
1986 - Gib Einem Kind Deine Hand (Nana Mouskouri)
1987 - Taking A Child By The Hand (Nana Mouskouri)
Neem eens een kind bij de hand
het neemt je mee naar het land
van duizend dromen, een sprookje gelijk
een kind is de koning te rijk
Neem eens een kind bij de hand
je hart haalt het op je verstand
je maakt een gebaar dat de wereld omspant
Neem eens een kind bij de hand
Neem eens een kind op je schoot
al is zijn verdriet nog zo groot
een enkel lief woord kan soms wonderen doen
als dank krijg je steevast een zoen
Neem eens een kind op je schoot
en voel je eens een keer niet te groot
om paardje te spelen, of krijger, of piloot
Neem eens een kind op je schoot
Neem eens een kind aan je hart
zijn wereld is echt heel apart
je hoeft niet veel woorden, doe liefst heel gewoon
een kind deelt met jou van zijn woord
Neem eens een kind aan je hart
al maakt het je eerst wat verward
Jarenlang leef je alleen of met twee
plots leeft een kind met je mee
plots leeft een kind met je mee

Alms For The Beggarman
Alms For The Beggarman
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Performer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Clopin and Friends
Alms for the beggar man
Please help the indigent of Paris
Madame I need a bit of sympathy
Alms for the beggar man
Who's there, don't be afraid of touching me
Blindness is not exactly leprosy
Alms for the beggar man
Kind sir can you spare a franc for some food
I'll take any gift you give but shoes
Alms for the beggar man
Hey look, these were hiding inside my clothes
At last I've got some hands to pick my nose
My God it's a miracle
My eyes have suddenly begun to see
Turns out it was just this handkerchief
Mais oui, call the doctors and physicians
To see
My legs in excellent reconditioned
We three, suddenly have found religion
Look in my eyes
At my arms
And my legs
And you'll see a true epiphany
We are the kings of lies disguise and deception
When we beg or steal it's devoid of detection
Real work is simply out of the question
There's no occupation
For gypsies crooks and thieves
So come on boys let's count up all the donations
Split the take and have a little libation
Hard work deserves a little vacation
A celebration, so join us in this dance
Alms for the beggar men
Reach out for someone who truly needs
We are the beggar men
We'll take anything you have to give
Voilà we have to live

Witches Hat
Witches Hat
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): Robin Williamson; The Incredible String Band
Certainly
The children have seen them
In quiet places where the moss grows green
Coloured shells
Jangle together
The wind is cold, the year is old
The trees whisper together
And bent in the wind they lean
If I was a witches hat
Sitting on her head like a paraffin stove
I'd fly away and be a bat
Across the air I would rove
Stepping like a tightrope walker
Putting one foot after another
Wearing black cherries for rings
If I was a witches hat
Sitting on her head like a telegraph pole
Id fly away and be a bat
Across the air I would roll
Stepping like a tightrope walker
Putting one foot after another
Wearing black cherries for rings

Almost there, we're almost there
We're, we're almost there
How wonderful, wonderful our love will be
For you, for me
We're almost there where we will share
A warm caress, tenderness, a dream come true
For me, for you
Love has waited such a long time
Now we're a kiss apart
Darling, this is the right time
To let the kisses start
For you're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes for we're almost there
You're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes for we're almost there
Almost there
A-a-almost there

Almost Said Goodbye
Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Dennis Greaves - Mark Hudson
Performer(s): Peter Frampton
Living inside myself I -- Didn't need no one else
I was alright Yeah -- Alright Yeah
Every night was lonely -- And nobody ever told me
Look inside -- Look inside
I was blind and I couldn't see that was right in front of me
You could tell that I lived in a shadow
Locked away in my darkness and pain
And my heart was shut down and in prison
You were sent here to free it again
And the moment I almost went under
you came through cause I almost said goodbye
Shattered and broke down I -- Was hopin to turn it round
There's no way -- There's no way
I couldn't find a reason -- When there's nothing to believe in
Anyway -- Anyway
I was blind and I couldn't see what was right in front of me
I been contemplating -- Been so down I wanna die
Almost said goodbye
And in the end I -- Hope I find a friend who's
Just like you -- Just like you
Happiness surrounds you
Now that I finally found me too -- Me and you

Witchcraft
Witchcraft
Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh; Cy Coleman
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes indeed" in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one that I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes indeed" in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one that I'd never switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
