Amsterdam (Liesbeth List)
Amsterdam ((aka Amsterdam (In Het Havenkwartier) (by Will Ferdy) - 1998))
((Adapted from: Amsterdam (by Jacques Brel) - 1964))
Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Ernst van Altena
Performer(s): Liesbeth List - 1969

In dat oud-Amsterdam
in de buurt van de haven
gaan de zeelui zich laven
drinken 't hek van de dam
In dat oud-Amsterdam
liggen zeelieden dronken
als een wimpel zo lam
in de dokken te ronken
In dat oud-Amsterdam
krijgt een zeeman de stuipen
tot hij zich grauw van gram
in het bier wil verzuipen
Maar in oud-Amsterdam
zie je zeelui ontkatert
als de ochtendzon schatert
over Damrak en Dam
In dat oud-Amsterdam
zie je zeelieden wikken
zilveren haringen slikken
bij de staart uit de hand
Van de hand in de tand
smijten zij met hun knaken
want ze zullen hem raken
als een kat in het want
En ze stinken naar aal
in hun grofblauwe truien
en ze stinken naar uien
daarmee doen ze hun maal
Na dat maal staan ze op
om hun broek op te hijsen
en dan gaan ze weer hijsen
tot het boert in hun krop
In dat oud-Amsterdam
zie je zeelieden zwieren
en de meiden versieren
lijf aan lijf, warm en klam
en draaien hun wals
als een wentelende zon
op de klank, dun en vals
van een akkordeon
En zo rood als een kreeft
happen zij naar wat lucht
tot opeens, met een zucht
de muziek het begeeft
Met een air van gewicht
voeren zij, met wat spijt
dan hun Mokkumse meid
weer terug in het licht
In dat oud-Amsterdam
gaan de zeelui aan 't drinken
Aan 't drinken en drinken
en daar nog eens op drinken
tot het oude kerksplein
op hun thuishaven lijkt
en de hoer in 't kozijn
net als moedertje kijkt
En haar borst is de borst
van verloofde of vrouw
en daarna weer zo'n dorst
en de nacht wordt al grauw
Want op de terugvaart is beschuit
en de kater breekt aan
en ze slikken het uit
tegen meerpaal en kraan
In dat oud-Amsterdam
In dat oud-Amsterdam
In dat oud-Amsterdam
In dat oud-Amsterdam

De Doodgewoonste Dingen
De Doodgewoonste Dingen
Performer(s): Passe Partout
De doodgewoonste dingen die brengen mij tot zingen
Ik zing van al 't mooie dat ik zie
Het dagelijkse leven is m'n allermooist gegeven
In harmonie op melodie
Soms zie ik 't vervagen, dat zijn de trieste dagen
Die brengen mij dan even van m'n stuk
Maar meestal zijn de dingen als de vogels die mooi zingen
Van eindeloos geluk
De hebzucht van de mensen moesten we meer verwensen
Je ziet met angst en beven het oppervlakkig leven
Van nooit tevreden mensen om je heen
Het ego is me alsmaar nummer 1
Maar rijkdom doet bedriegen, de mooiste droom vervliegen
geluk is simpel, dat geldt algemeen
De doodgewoonste dingen die brengen mij tot zingen
Ik zing van al 't mooie dat ik zie
Het dagelijkse leven is m'n allermooist gegeven
In harmonie op melodie
Soms zie ik 't vervagen, dat zijn de trieste dagen
Die brengen mij dan even van m'n stuk
Maar meestal zijn de dingen als de vogels die mooi zingen
Van eindeloos geluk
De wijsheid die we wensen, leeft onder alle mensen
In alle regionen vaak onder doodgewonen
De wijsheid die geluk voor ogen heeft
En iedereen voldoende kansen geeft
Om in dit korte leven elkaar geluk te geven
Gelukkig doen waarvoor de mensheid leeft
De doodgewoonste dingen die brengen mij tot zingen
Ik zing van al 't mooie dat ik zie
Het dagelijkse leven is m'n allermooist gegeven
In harmonie op melodie
Soms zie ik 't vervagen, dat zijn de trieste dagen
Die brengen mij dan even van m'n stuk
Maar meestal zijn de dingen als de vogels die mooi zingen
Van eindeloos geluk
Maar meestal zijn de dingen als de vogels die mooi zingen
Van eindeloos geluk

Amsterdam (John Cale)
Amsterdam
Composer(s): John Cale
First release by: John Cale - 1970
She's back from Amsterdam
And I think the journey did her well
Her face has lost it's touch
The tell tale signs of loneliness inside
But I love her still
And need her company still more
Come down, come down once more
And I think, the journey, did her well
She says she fell in love
With men who knew the way to treat a lady
Her life has settled for the best of things
That I couldn't give her
And it's not her fault, she's not the one to blame
Come down, come down, come down once more
And I do believe the journey did her well
Yes I do believe the journey did her well

Dance Little Lady Dance
Composer(s): Biddu Appaiah; Ron Roker; Gerry Shury
Performer(s): Tina Charles; Polly Browne
Yeah, yeah …..
Someone taught me how to dance last night
What a move he was
And someone taught me how to do it right
What a groover he was
He taught me all the steps he knew to rock ‘n roll
I found my sense of rhythm but I lost my self-control
When he said dance little lady, dance
Dance, little lady, dance
You know you’ve got only one chance
So come on, dance, dance, oh!
Someone taught me how to move last night
What a looker he was
Someone taught me how to do it right
What a cooker he was
Now we boogie and we bump until we’re fit to trop
And when he gets me going, I don’t want to stop
When he says, dance, little lady, dance
Dance, little lady, dance
You know you’ve only got one chance
So come on, dance, dance, dance, oh!
Yeah, yeah!
We boogie and we bump until we’re fit to trop
And when he gets me going, I don’t want to stop
When he says, dance, little lady, dance
Dance, little lady, dance
You know you’ve only got one chance
So come on, dance, dance, dance!
That’s what he told me
Oh, what a mover!
That’s what he told me
Oh, what a groover!
Dance, little lady

Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui chantent
Les rêves qui les hantent
Au large d'Amsterdam
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui dorment
Comme des oriflammes
Le long des berges mornes
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui meurent
Pleins de bière et de drames
Aux premières lueurs
Mais dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui naissent
Dans la chaleur épaisse
Des langueurs océanes
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui mangent
Sur des nappes trop blanches
Des poissons ruisselants
Ils vous montrent des dents
À croquer la fortune
À décroisser la lune
À bouffer des haubans
Et ça sent la morue
Jusque dans le cœur des frites
Que leurs grosses mains invitent
À revenir en plus
Puis se lèvent en riant
Dans un bruit de tempête
Referment leur braguette
Et sortent en rotant
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui dansent
En se frottant la panse
Sur la panse des femmes
Et ils tournent et ils dansent
Comme des soleils crachés
Dans le son déchiré
D'un accordéon rance
Ils se tordent le cou
Pour mieux s'entendre rire
Jusqu'à ce que tout à coup
L'accordéon expire
Alors le geste grave
Alors le regard fier
Ils ramènent leur batave
Jusqu'en pleine lumière
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui boivent
Et qui boivent et reboivent
Et qui reboivent encore
Ils boivent à la santé
Des putains d'Amsterdam
De Hambourg ou d'ailleurs
Enfin ils boivent aux dames
Qui leur donnent leur joli corps
Qui leur donnent leur vertu
Pour une pièce en or
Et quand ils ont bien bu
Se plantent le nez au ciel
Se mouchent dans les étoiles
Et ils pissent comme je pleure
Sur les femmes infidèles
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Dans le port d'Amsterdam

Dance Little Lady (This Year Of Grace)
Dance Little Lady (This Year Of Grace)
Composer(s): Noel Coward
Performer(s): Michael Law
and various other artists
‘Tho’ you’re only seventeen
Far too much of life you’ve seen
Syncopated child
Maybe if you only knew
Where your path is leading to
You’d become less wild
But I know it’s vain
Trying to explain
While there’s this insane
Music in your brain
Dance, dance, dance little lady
Youth is pleasing to the rhythm
Beating in your mind
Dance, dance, dance little lady
So obsessed with second best
No rest you’ll ever find
Time and tide and trouble
Never, never wait
Let the cauldron bubble
Justify your fate
Dance, dance, dance little lady
Dance, dance, dance little lady
Leave tomorrow behind
Time and tide and trouble
Never, never wait
Let the cauldron bubble
Justify your fate
Dance, dance, dance little lady
Dance, dance, dance little lady
Leave tomorrow behind

Amphetamine Annie
Amphetamine Annie
Composer(s): Adolfo de la Parra - Bob Hite - Skip Taylor - Henry Vestine
Performer(s): Canned Heat; Walter Trout
This is a song with a message
I want you to heeeeed my warning
Wanna tell you all a story, about this chick I know
They call her Amphetamine Annie, and she's always shovelin' snow
I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear
I don't mind you gettin' high but there's one thing you should fear
Your mind might think it's flyin' baby on those little pills
But you ought to know it's dyin', cause - speed kills!
But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor
She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door
Her mouth was like a grindin' mill, her lips where cracked and sore
Her skin was turnin' yellow, I just couldn't take it no more
She thought her mind was flyin' on those litte pills
She didn't know it was going down fast, cause - speed kills!
Yaaaa, speed can kill you too baby, yaa
Well I sat her down and told her, I told her one more time
The whole wide human raice has taken far too much methadrine
She said "I don't care what a lymie says, I got to get it on
I'm not hip to the scene of the man who comes from across the pond"
She wouldn't heed my warning, Lord she wouldn't hear what I said
Now she's here in the grave yard, and she's awfully dead
Ya, speed gonna kill you!
Anybody
Speed will get you!
Speed from over the pond
There ain't no hope baby...
Yaa, aah hah
Spoon a Spoon a Spoon.... huah...

Dance Little Jean
Dance Little Jean
Composer(s): Jimmy Ibbotson
Performer(s): John Denver;
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; John McEuen
I played a wedding for the money
And I wished that I could tell the bride and groom
Just what I think of marriage
What's in store after the honeymoon
I was grumbling to the dancers
'Bout how men and women ought to live apart
How a promise never made could not be broken
And would never break a heart
Suddenly from out of nowhere
This little girl came spinning across the floor
Her crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico she wore
As her joy fell on the honored guests
Each one of them was drawn into her dream
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
And hollered at her, "Dance little Jean!"
Dance, little Jean, this day is for you
Two people you love, stood up and said "I do"
Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had
Was answered today, your Mama's marrying your Dad
Well, my cynical heart just melted
'Cause I knew what this get together meant
How it ended year of tears and sad confusion
That the little girl had spent
Well they told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut the cake
But we played as long as they stayed
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake
Dance, little Jean, this day is for you
Two people you love, stood up and said "I do"
Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had
Was answered today, your Mama's marrying your Dad

((Dutch Version: Elke Dag Verliefd (by Willy Sommers) - 2000))
Composer(s): Mario Panzeri - Daniele Pace - Micky Del Prete - Luciano Beretta - Yves Dessca
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1974
Qu'est-ce qui me prends je me sens soudain tout drôle
Comme si j'avais un oiseau sur mon épaule
Qu'est-ce qu'il m'arrive aujourd'hui je suis amoureux de ma femme
Comme au premier jour je suis amoureux de ma femme
J'ai envie de l'embrasser besoin de la caresser
Je sens me piquer au cœur une merveilleuse et tendre douleur
Comme un collégien je suis amoureux de ma femme
Je la trouve belle je la chante sur toute la gamme
Demain je brise les ponts, je prends deux billets d'avion
Et je vais me l'emmener prendre des vacances en jeunes mariés
Depuis longtemps déjà n'existait plus rien
Nous restait seulement la bourse en commun
Et souvent s'installait au fond de mon cœur
Pour un jour ou deux un nouveau bonheur
Qui sait peut-être nous nous sommes mariés trop jeunes
Et j'avais besoin de vivre ma vie d'homme
De tout mes idylles j'en ai fait le tour
Je sais que c'est elle mon unique amour
C'est drôle aujourd'hui je suis amoureux de ma femme
Comme au premier jour je suis amoureux de ma femme
Je me sens prêt à passer trois jours à rester coucher
Trois jours à lui faire l'amour trois nuits sans dormir
Trois jours sans sortir
Qui sait peut-être nous nous sommes mariés trop jeunes
Et j'avais besoin de vivre ma vie d'homme
De toutes mes idylles j'en ai fait le tour
Je sais que c'est elle mon unique amour
Quelle chance aujourd'hui je suis amoureux de ma femme.........

Dance Into The Light
Dance Into The Light
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins; Wildside
It's there in the eyes of the children
In the faces smiling in the windows
You can come on out, come on open the doors
Brush away the tears of freedom
Now we're here, there's no turning back
We have each other
We have one voice
Hand in hand we will lay the tracks
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
There'll be no more hiding in shadows of fear
There'll be no more chains to hold you
The future is yours - you hold the key
And there are no walls with freedom
Now we're here, we won't go back
We are one world
We have one voice
Side by side we are not afraid
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
Do you see the sun - it's a brand new day
Oh, the world's in your hands, now use it
What's past is past, don't turn around
Brush away the cobwebs of freedom
Now we're here, there's no turning back
You have each other
You have one voice
Hand in hand you can lay the tracks
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light

Composer(s): Gilbert Bécaud - Pierre Grosz
Performer(s): Dalida
Je ne me souviens plus du tout des circonstances
Mais vous m'avez dit
Tu as eu de la chance, de la chance
La mort à marché si près de moi
Que j'ai même fait un petit pas
Vers l'autre bord
J'ai ouvert les yeux tiens la vie recommence
J'ai eu dans les yeux d'un coup le ciel immense
De la chance
Je ne sais pas comment l'expliquer
Mais je me sens miraculé et aujourd'hui
Je suis amoureuse de la vie
Et c'est bon d'embrasser la vie
Chaque minute de ma vie
Je fais l'amour avec la vie
Puisque rien de rien dans la vie
N'est plus important que la vie
Que la vie
Et quand je mets une nouvelle robe
Je mets vraiment une nouvelle robe
Et quand je croque une pomme
Je croque vraiment une pomme
Puisqu'aujourd'hui...
Je suis amoureuse de la vie
Et c'est bon d'embrasser la vie
Chaque minute de ma vie
Je fais l'amour avec la vie
Moi qui sombrait vers l'infini
Je suis là et c'est Dieu merci
Pour t'aimer et danser
Toute la vie

Une nuit je m'endors avec lui
Mais je sais qu'on nous l'interdit
Et je sens la fièvre qui me mord
Sans que j'aie l'ombre d'un remords
Et l'aurore m'apporte le sommeil
Je ne veux pas qu'arrive le soleil
Quand je prends sa tête entre mes mains
Je vous jure que j'ai du chagrin
Et je me demande
Si cet amour aura un lendemain
Quand je suis loin de lui
Quand je suis loin de lui
Je n'ai plus vraiment toute ma tête
Et je ne suis plus d'ici
Oh! je ne suis plus d'ici
Je ressens la pluie d'une autre planète
Quand il me serre tout contre lui
Quand je sens que j'entre dans sa vie
Je prie pour que le destin m'en sorte
Je prie pour que le diable m'emporte
Et l'angoisse me montre son visage
Elle me force à parler son langage
Mais quand je prends sa tête entre mes mains
Je vous jure que j'ai du chagrin
Et je me demande
Si cet amour aura un lendemain
Quand je suis loin de lui
Quand je suis loin de lui
Je n'ai plus vraiment toute ma tête
Et je ne suis plus d'ici
Non je ne suis plus d'ici
Je ressens la pluie d'une autre planète

Dance In The Smoke
Composer(s): Rod Argent; Chris White
Performer(s): Argent
We will light it and dance in the smoke
Every brand we'll tie somebody's worries to it
We will burn it and dance in the smoke
I recall it was to tall
To see the flames grow high
But on tiptoe
The flames would grow
And burn into the sky
We will light a giant burning fire tonight
We will light it and dance in the smoke
Every brand we'll tie somebody's worries to it
We will burn it and dance in the smoke

Performer(s): Kikki Dee - 1973
Strands of light on our bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this is not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Reaching out I touch another's skin
Breathing out as he's breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same
I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet
Close together in the afterglow
I remember how his loving flowed
Turned the key into another world
Made a woman of a simple girl
Daylight comes as we both know it must
Soon my fantasy will turn to dust
But I would give him anything he asked
If my first love could be my last
I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not regret
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet

De regen koelt m'n zinnen af
Je veegt een vlek weg op m'n jas
Het laatste spoor van een dolle nacht
Ik hoor de trein waar ik op wacht
Ik ben op weg voor een lange reis
Tussen Brussel en Parijs
Een leeg hotel en een sigaret
Ik leg je foto naast m'n bed
God, ik wist het
dat hier toch nooit iets van kon komen
Is dit het einde nu?
Of net een nieuw begin?
Duizend vragen en het antwoord schuldig...
Nu ben ik ver van jou
en dan weer heel dichtbij
Een verhaal met een open einde
Een open einde
Drie uur 's nachts, eenzaamheid heeft
herinneringen weggeveegd
De prijs voor een hart was me veel te duur
En elke seconde lijkt een uur
God, ik wil je
en geen moment van je zijde wijken
Is dit het einde nu?
Of net een nieuw begin?
Duizend vragen en het antwoord schuldig...
Nu ben ik ver van jou
en dan weer heel dichtbij
Een verhaal met een open einde
Een open einde
Nu ben ik ver van jou
en dan weer heel dichtbij
Een verhaal met een open einde
Een open einde

Dance Hall Crashers
Dance Hall Crashers
Performer(s): Hall & Oates
Don't try selling me your heartbreak
'Cause I can't take another sales pitch
You don't wanna be the last one
Who's no fun
The one that's always left behind
I know it's hard
To see clearly all of the time
So go do what you want
And I'll try hard to be more understanding
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb behind your back
I just wanna be there to see the last laugh
I'll try killing you with kindness
Forget the mindless things I might've said
And I won't try to catch you or stop you
From doing what you think is right
I'll look the other way
Maybe I was wrong this one time
It's got to be hard
When the rest of the world's gone crazy around you
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just wanna be there to see the last laugh
Back and forth you swing
From routine to obscene
And I know that you're just like me
And that's exactly what I like about you
I guess I'm probably insane
Two by four is what I'd use to smack you upside your head
'Cause you drive me crazy
So don't keep singing me your sad song
It's been so long
Since I've gotten through
And I'm not gonna be the last one
Who's no fun
The one that's always left behind
Don't get me wrong
When I don't tell you what you wanna hear
And go do what you wnat
And I'll try hard to be more understanding
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just wanna be there to see the last laugh
