American Boy
American Boy
Composer(s): Eddie Rabbitt
Performer(s): Eddie Rabbitt
I wanna live in a place where they name their kids Billy
Turn on the radio, and hear my man Willie
Friday night football, stand up and cheer
Go where I wanna go, I'm a free man here!
I'm an American boy
Drive me a Chevy, ain't got no Peugeot
My older brother was a GI Joe
Red White and Blue from my head to my toes
I'm an American boy
My little brother watches Saturday morning cartoons
I mow the front lawn, in the afternoon
Fixin' up my car, workin' for a livin'
Drive down to the seashore, lookin' at the pretty women
I'm an American boy
Drive me a Chevy, ain't got no Peugeot
My older brother was a GI Joe
Red White and Blue from my head to my toes
I'm an American boy
(voice mix including Martin Luther King Jr.)
I'm an American boy
(I buy American)
I'm an American boy
(Yes I am)
I'm an American boy
(I'll die an American)
I'm an American boy
Drive me a Chevy, ain't got no Peugeot
My older brother was a GI Joe
Red White and Blue from my head to my toes
I'm an American boy
(I buy American)
I'm an American boy
(I'll die an American)
I'm an American boy
I'm an American boy
(Coast to coast)
I'm an American boy
(Just like apple pie baby)
I'm an American boy
Yeah
I'm an American boy
Eye eye I'm an American boy
I'm an American boy

Wrap Your Arms Around Me
Wrap Your Arms Around Me
Dutch Title: Sla Je Arm Om Me Heen
Composer(s): Mike Chapman; Holly Knight
Originally performed by: Agnetha Fältskog
Covered by various other artists
Wrap your arms around me...
When you´re so far away
At the end of each day
Counting the moments till you fade away
Inside my soul
Under passion´s control
Are feelings I can´t find the words to explain
Just like the first time I´m helpless again
Chorus:
Wrap your arms around me
Let your love surround me
Make love to me now like never before
Wrap your arms around me
From the day you found me
You´ll never be alone
The nights are so cold
With just your memory to hold
I´ve tried to be strong, reaching out holding on
Alone in my bed
I cling to each word you said
Wanting you more everyday we´re apart
And each precious moment is safe in my heart
Chorus
Tag mig i din famn/Take me in your arms
Hall om mig/Hold me
Du är den, bara du/You are the one, only you
Jag vill wara hos dig/I want to be with you
Vi hör tillsammans/We belong together
Vi var sa nära/We were so close
Nätterna är sa kalla/The nights are so cold
Vill vara hos dig/Want to be with you
Saknar dig hur som helst/Miss you anyway
Jag vill vara hos dig/I want to be with you
Hall om mig, älska mig, älska mig/Hold me, love me, love me
Just like the first time I´m helpless again...
Chorus
Wrap your arms around me
And you´ll never be alone
Wrap your arms around me
You´ll never be alone
No, you´ll never be alone

A Girl Like You (Adam Faith)
A Girl Like You
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Anne Croswell
Performer(s): Adam Faith
A girl like you could have the pick of any boy she knew
With just a flick of her little fingertip
A boy would flip
There's nothing that he wouldn't do for you
Ooh, a girl like you who's such a cutie
Eyes of baby blue, a living beauty
Could have most anything
Any king would leave his throne and palace too for you
A girl like you who could have had
The yellow moon above
Just for the asking, didn't even ask
You didn't ask a thing but love
That's all I had, a heart to hand you
And a heart that's glad to understand you
I can't believe it's true
A boy like me could ever have a girl like you, like you
A girl like you who could have had
The yellow moon above
Just for the asking, didn't even ask
You didn't ask a thing but love
That's all I had, a heart to hand you
And a heart that's glad to understand you
I can't believe it's true
A boy like me could ever have a girl like you, like you, like you

Sla Je Arm Om Me Heen
Sla Je Arm Om Me Heen
English Title: Wrap Your Arms Around Me
Composer(s): Benny Neyman; Holly Knight; Mike Chapman
Performer(s): Wendy Van Wanten
(Originally performed by: Agnetha Fältskog)
't Is stil hier vannacht
Maar ik slaap niet, ik waak
Lang duren uren als jij er niet bent
Denkend waarom, 'k draaim e honderd keer om
Ik bijt in mijn kussen en kijk naar 't behang
Net als een kind in het donker zo bang
Sla je arm om me heen
Laat me nooit meer alleen
Wees lief,hou me vast
Want de nacht is zo koud
Sla je arm om me heen
Zeg nog een keer alleen
Dat je nog van mij houdt
Ik kijk naar de maan
En de morgen breekt aan
Je weet ik en sterk
Maar dit hou ik niet vol
Maar soms is het net
Of je hier ligt in bed
Dan neem ik de deken
En denk een moment
Even, heel even, dat jij er weer bent
Sla je arm om me heen
Laat me nooit meer alleen
Wees lief,hou me vast
Want de nacht is zo koud
Sla je arm om me heen
Zeg nog een keer alleen
Dat je nog van mij houdt
Na na na na
Net als een kind in het donker zo bang
Sla je arm om me heen
Laat me nooit meer alleen
Wees lief,hou me vast
Want de nacht is zo koud
Sla je arm om me heen
Zeg nog een keer alleen
Dat je nog van mij houdt

America, I Love You
America, I Love You
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie - Archie Gottler
Performer(s): Claude Thornhill
and multiple other artists
A mid fields of clover
'T was just a little over a hundred years ago
A handful of strangers
they faced many dangers to make their country grow
It's now quite a nation of wond'rous population
And free from every king
It's your land, it's my land
A great do or die land
And that's why I sing
From all sorts of places
They welcomed all the races to settle on their shore
They didn't care which one
The poor or the rich one
They still had room for more
To give them protection
By popular election
A set of laws they chose
They're your laws and my laws
For your cause and my cause
That's why this country rose
America, I love you
You're like a sweetheart of mine
From ocean to ocean
For you my devotion, is touching each bound'ry line
Just like a little baby
Climbing it's mother's knee
America, I love you
And there's a hundred million other's like me

America, Here's My Boy!
America, Here's My Boy!
Composer(s): Arthur Lange - Andrew B. Sterling
Performer(s): Henry Burr
There's a million mothers knocking at the nation's door
A million mothers, yes and there'll be millions more
And while within each mother heart they pray
Just hark what one brave mother has to say
America, I raised a boy for you
America, you'll find him staunch and true
Place a gun upon his shoulder, he is ready to die or do
America, he is my only one, my hope, my pride and joy
But if I had another, he would march beside his brother
America, here's my boy!
There's a million mothers waiting by the fireside bright
A million mothers, waiting for the call tonight
And while within each heart there'll be a tear
She'll watch her boy go marching with a cheer
America, I raised a boy for you
America, you'll find him staunch and true
Place a gun upon his shoulder, he is ready to die or do
America, he is my only one, my hope, my pride and joy
But if I had another, he would march beside his brother
America, here's my boy!

We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee
We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee
Composer(s): Sandy Baron; Pat Vegas
Performer(s): Redbone
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
In the name of manifest destiny
You and me you and me you and me
They made us many promises
But always broke their word
They penned us in like Buffalo
Drove us like a heard
And finally on the reservation
We were going for our preservation
We were all wiped out by the seventh Calvary
You and me you and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
In the name of manifest destiny
You and me you and me you and me
Now we make our promises
We won't break our word
Well sing, sing, sing out our story
Till the truth is heard
There's a whole new generation
Which will dream of veneration
Who were not wiped out by the seventh Calvary
You and me you and me.
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
In the name of manifest destiny
You and me you and me you and me

Words (Andy Williams)
Words
Composer(s): Hiller - Graham
Performer(s): Andy Williams & The Royal Philharmonic Orch.
Words are the key to life
To love and all its pleasures
Words that can touch your heart
Are memories to treasure
They break the sound of silence
When there is something in the air
We may be worlds apart
But words bring us together
And as I write this letter
These are the words I give to you
"We only live one life
These words will last for ever!"
They break the sound of silence
When there is something in the air
We may be worlds apart
But words bring us together
Words can bring happiness
And fill you with emotion
One word can bring out
All the loving and devotion!
And in a moment of sadness
Just when you need a helping hand
Words can reach out to you
With love and understanding
Words are the key to life
To love and all its pleasures
Words that can touch your heart
Are memories to treasure
And as I write this letter
These are the words I give to you
"We only live one life
These words will last for ever!"

Wouldn't It Be Nice
Wouldn't It Be Nice
Swedish Title: Skulle De' Va' Skönt
Composer(s): Tony Asher; Mike Love; Brian Wilson
Originally performed by: The Beach Boys
Covered by various other artists
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know it's gonna make it that much better
When we can say good night and sleep together
Wouldn't it nice if we could wake up in the morning
When the day is new
And after having spend the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
With happy times together, we feel spending
Wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice
Maybe if we think, and wish, and hope, and pray
It might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
(We could be married)
or we could be married
(And then we'd be happy)
And then we'd be happy
Oh, wouldn't it be nice
Bah, ba, ba, bu, bum, bum
Bah, ba, ba, bu, bum, bum
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Oh, Wouldn't it be nice
Bah, ba, ba, bu, bum

Donde brilla el tibio sol
con un nuevo fulgor
dorando las arenas
Donde el aire es limpio
aun bajo la suave luz
de las estrellas
Donde el fuego se hace amor
el río es hablador
y el monte selva
Hoy encontré un lugar
para los dos en esa
nueva tierra
¡America, America!
Todo un inmenso jardín
eso es America
Cuando Dios hizo el Edén
pensó en America
Cada nuevo atardecer
el cielo empieza arder
y escucha el viento
Que me trae con su canción
una queja de amor
como un lamento
El perfume de una flor
el ritmo de un tambor
en las praderas
Lanzas de guerra y paz
de un pueblo que aún
no ha roto sus cadenas.
¡America, America!
Todo un inmenso jardín
eso es America
Cuando Dios hizo el Edén
pensó en America
¡America, America!
Todo un inmenso jardín
eso es America
Cuando Dios hizo el Edén
pensó en America

Performer(s): Nena - 1983
and multiple other artists
You and I, and a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Some thing's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic lads, it's a red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine Decision Street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waiting for
This is it boys, this is war
The President is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine knights of the air
Riding super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify, to clarify and classify
Scrambling in the summer sky
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine dreams I have had
Every one a red balloon
Now it's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go

Wouldn't It Be Good
Wouldn't It Be Good
Composer(s): Nik Kershaw
First release by: Nik Kershaw - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy
You don't know when you got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting even though I know I should
The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fibre
My broken spirit is frozen to the core
I don't wanna be here no more
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
The grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we cold live without a care
You must be joking
You don't know a thing about it
You've got no problem I'd stay right there if it were you
I got it harder, you couldn't dream how hard it got it
Stay out of my shoes if you know what's good for you
The heat is stifling, burning me up from the inside
The sweat is coming through each and every pore
Don't wanna be here no more
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was just for one day
And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
The grass is always greener over there
And wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care
I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting even though I know I should
