Två Tungor
Två Tungor
Composer(s): Finn Kalvik - Fred Åkerström
Performer(s): Fred Åkerström; Sofia Karlsson
Två tungor har mitt hjärta
Två viljor har mitt sinn
Jag älskar dig för evigt
och jag blir aldrig din
Djupt i det röda mörkret
fick livet dubbel form
Där kuttrar det en duva
Där väser det en orm
Två tungor har mitt hjärta
Hör på det likaväl
Bli hos mig och gå från mig
och fräls mig från mig själv
Djupt i röda mörket
fick livet dubbel form
Där kurrar det en duva
Där väser det en orm
Två tungor har mitt hjärta
Två viljor har mitt sinn
Jag älskar dig för evigt
och jag blir aldrig din

I Wonder (John Entwistle)
I Wonder
Composer(s): John Entwistle
Performer(s): John Entwistle
I wonder what would happen if my dog could talk
Would he look me in the eye and say take me for a walk
When I gave him his dinner would he shake his head
And say take it away I want caviar instead?
Thank you Mother Nature
For the way you got things planned
Don't ever change a thing, I'm happy as I am
Imagine living in a place where the sea was red
And your legs were in the position now occupied by your head
Imagine living in a place where black was white
And white was black, even the night
I wonder what would happen if my fish could fly
Would it leap from its tank and hit the cat in the eye
Out through the window and into the sky
I'm so glad that sharks can't fly
Thank you Mother Nature
For the way you got things planned
Don't ever change a thing, I'm happy as I am
Imagine living in a place where the sea was red
And your legs were in the position now occupied by your head
Imagine living in a place where black was white
And white was black, even the night
I wonder what would happen if the moon fell down
Would it leave a white circle
Where they painted around
I wonder what would happen if the sun went out

TV Screen
TV Screen
Composer(s): Goran Bregovic - Iggy Pop
Performer(s): Iggy Pop
Find a beautiful old street
Not rushing through this time
In a bar where a fat lady reigns supreme
Come in and drink with a false name
In circus clothes forget their pain
They are the zombie bodies
Caught in the glow of the TV screen
Just forget it?
Forget it all
The TV screen
TV screen makes you feel small
No life at all
Now that you have turned it off
It's harder than you thought
No one wants to give a damn
Or even hear a thought
They rush from one fad to the next
You talk and it has no effect
You are the target for stars
And the planets on the TV screen
Just forget it?
Forget it all
The TV screen
TV screen makes you feel small
No life at all

I Wonder (Dickie Valentine)
I Wonder
Composer(s): Samuel M. Lewis; George W. Meyer; Pete Wendling
Performer(s): Dickie Valentine
I wonder who paints the skies so blue
Who makes the snow flakes white
Who wakes the sun up every day
And lights the stars at night
Who perfumes all the roses
Early in the spring
And tells each little robin
Just what melody to sing
I wonder how each mother knows
What baby tries to say
Why little children learn to walk
And someday walk away
I wonder why the rainbow
Follows rain and thunder
I wish that I could tell you why
But I can only wonder

Knight In Rusty Armour
Knight In Rusty Armour
Composer(s): Mike Leander; Charlie Mills
Performer(s): Peter & Gordon
Long ago in days of old
There lived a knight who
Wasn't quite as bold
As a knight should be
He rode an old grey mare called Bess
Searchin' for a damsel in distress
Just to see if he
Could set her free
See the knight in rusty armour ride
To her aid
Trusty sword is hanging at his side
With a rusty blade
Up the tower steps he sneaked
But as he moved
His rusty armour squeaked
Such a mournful note
And all the sentries at their posts
Thought it must have been the castle ghost
They jumped for their lives
In the moat
So the knight in rusty armour won
His fair maid
Had no need to draw his trusty sword
With a rusty blade
As he bent to kiss his bride
He found that he was
Rusted up inside
In his battle dress
And I can't guess
How they still got married
And had twins
They came in tins
Every suit of armour ever made
Has a kink
Chain mail pants with a missing link

Well I laid down last night
And I turned my TV on

Want me to get my TV fixed
Ohuuu she was cryin'
Wanna get my TV fixed
She said our TV needs service
And she needs it mighty quick
By the way now
Well I called the TV doctor
He came over right away
He said to see what he can do
He'd have to haul my tube away
I told no Damn well I'll never do
Man if you don't get the picture
I'm gonna do some work on you
Work a while go ahead now

Got my TV working
My old tube is like brand new
And now I got my TV workin'
My old tube is like brand new
Yes come over baby
And I show my tube to you
haha
How do you like my tube?

I Wonder (Departure)
French Title: Imagine-Moi - 1983
Composer(s): Stig Erik Leopold Anderson; Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
First release by: ABBA - 1977
This park and these houses, old streets I have walked
Everything dear, will it be here
One day when I am returning?
My friends will get married, have children and homes
It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises
I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don't leave it
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong
My friends and my family, this dull little town
Buses I've missed, boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar
I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don't leave it
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it...
Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong

Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Knight of the Woeful Countenance!

Oh my brave cavalier
Ride onward to glorious strife

TV Is The Thing This Year
TV Is The Thing This Year
Composer(s): William Sanford - Philip E. Medley
Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Lee Aaron; Dianne Reeves
Well if you wanna have fun come home with me
You can stay all night and play with my TV
TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
Last night I was watchin' old Tom Mix
My TV broke and I was in a fix
Got on the phone an' called my man, I said
"Get here, Daddy, as fast as you can"
TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
He turned my dial to channel one
I knew that this was gonna be fun
Turned right up to channel two
That station thrilled me through and through
Moved one notch to channel three
I said how I love what you're doin' to me
TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
He moved on up to channel four
Just about the time someone knocked on the door
And the way he eased into channel five
I swear that man had fluid drive
Moved one notch to channel six
Opened up his little bag o' tricks
On channel seven, the show was late
But we still got our kicks on channel eight
TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
He grooved on up to channel nine
Said, "Sweet baby, are you satisfied?"
Turned it up to channel ten
And then, we did it, all over again
He finally hit, on channel eleven
I cried, "More, more", you treat your Daddy good
TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

Roane County Prison
Roane County Prison
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and multiple other artists
In the beautiful hills, way back in Roane County
There's where I roamed for many long years
There's where my heart's been tending most ever
That's where the first step of misfortune I made
I was about thirty years when I courted and married
Amanda Gilbraith was then called my wife
Her brother stabbed me for some unknown reason
Just three months later I'd taken Tom's life
For twenty five years this whole world I rambled
I went to old England, to France and to Spain
But I thought of my home way back in Roane County
I boarded a steamer and came back again
I was captured and tried in the village of Kingston
Not a man in the county would speak one kind word
When the jury came in with the verdict next morning
A lifetime in prison was the words that I heard
When the train pulled out poor mother stood weepin'
And sister she sat alone with a sigh
And the last words I heard was "Willie, God bless you"
Was "Willie, God bless you, God bless you, good bye"
In the scorching hot sand of the foundry I'm workin'
Toiling and working my poor life away
They'll measure my grave on the banks of old Cumberland
Just as soon as I finish the rest of my days
Sweet Martha was grave but Corey was better
There's better and worse, although you can see
Boys when you write home from the prison in Nashville
Place one of my songs in your letter for me

I like cake and no mistake
But baby, if you insist
I'll cut out the cake, just for your sake
Baby! C'mon, knock me a kiss
I like pie, I hope to die
Just get a load of this
When you get high, doggone the pie
Baby! C'mon, knock me a kiss
When you pressed your sweet little lips to mine
Then I understood
They taste like candy, brandy and wine
Peaches, bananas and everything fine
I love jam and no film flam
Scratch that off my list
This aint no jam, the jam can scram
Baby! C'mon, knock me a kiss
Yeah baby, when you pressed your sweet little lips to mine
Twas then I understood, oh babe
They taste like candy, brandy and wine
Peaches, bananas and everything fine
I love jam and no film flam
Scratch that off my list
This aint no jam, the jam can scram
Baby! C'mon, knock me a kiss
Knock me a kiss

TV Is King
TV Is King
Composer(s): Cotton Bend - Fee Waybill - Prince - Vince Welnick
Performer(s): The Tubes
I wish I was the man with the mechanical heart
I'd conquer all my enemies alone
I'd tear the guys apart
then scatter the pieces
I wish I was the man in the soundproof booth
I wish I had a chance to stump the band
or maybe tell truth
and maybe I could win a color television
I really love my--television
I love to sit by--television
Can't live without my--television
TV is king
You're my everything
I wish I had the girl with the bouncy hair
We'd ride off in a brand new car
or fly a plane somewhere
like probably Jamaica
I brush my teeth, shampoo my hair, and shave my face
Apply the necessary aerosol
in the appropriate place
And we'll spend the night together watching television
I can't turn off my--television
Don't really know why--television
I understand my--television
You got your works in a drawer and your color's on track
You have to break away but you always come back
You make a hundred changes but you're always the same
You make me so excited and you make me so lame
You're just a tube full of gas and a box full of tin
But you show me your charms and I want to jump in
Oh if only your chassis was covered with skin
'Cause TV you're my everything
I really love my--television
I love to sit by--television
Can't live without my--television
I can't turn off my--television
Don't really know why--television
I understand my--television
I really love my--television
TV is king
You're my everything
TV is king

Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Dorothy Parker
First performance by: Bing Crosby - 1935
and multiple other artists
I wished on the moon, for something I never knew
Wished on the moon, for more than I ever knew
A sweeter rose, a softer sky, an April day
That would not dance away
I begged of the stars to throw me a beam or two
Wished on the stars and asked for a dream or two
I looked for every loveliness, it all came true
I wished on the moon .... for you

Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where I belong
Way down south in Birmingham
I mean south in Alabam'
There's an old place where people go
To dance the night away
They all drive or walk for miles
To get jive that southern style
It's an old jive that makes you want
To dance till break of day
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long town, I'm heading for
Tuxedo Junction now
Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where I belong
Way down south in Birmingham
I mean south in Alabam'
There's an old place where people go
To dance the night away

To get jive that southern style
It's an old jive that makes you want

At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love
And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth, I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best, I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love
And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth, I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best, I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

and various other artists
Hey girl what ya doin' down there
Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
If you look out your window tonight
Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
Only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
