Another Door
Another Door
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon
Some destination
A footstep in the sand
Some indication
A truth to understand
I'm going hunting
To find it if I can
But it might be just an arrow
To still some other plan
Hidden meanings and love's strange ways
Keep me looking for more and more
But all I find is that behind
Each new door is another door
Time's printed pages
Words you won't forget
go out and try to live them
you'll be an angel yet
I'm going hunting
I think I'll win the bet
But it might end up winning me sorrow
And leaving my soul in debt
Hidden meanings and love's strange ways
Keep me looking for more and more
But all I find is that behind
Each new door is another door

Dead Flowers
Dead Flowers
((Danish Version: Sig Farvel Sigøjner (Peter Belli) - 1971))
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well, when you're sitting back
In your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Another Deal Goes Down
Another Deal Goes Down
Composer(s): Will Jennings - Steve Winwood
Performer(s): Steve Winwood
Midnight comes and the devil's loose
What you want? He's got everything there
What you've got he'll take
And leave you in the cold
One more soul drowns, another deal goes down
The night is full of danger, another deal goes down
On the street, the refugees
From a war that was lost in the heart
No one wants to see them
And the fire is burning slow
Tell me what you're searching for, will you, sister?
Emptiness inside, you will never fill it up with another thrill
Money's spent, all the words are said
Nothing helps, streets are falling apart
Through the night they're burning and the devil's on a roll

Dead End Street
Dead End Street
Composer(s): Ray Davies
First release by: The Kinks - 1966
There's a crack up in the ceiling
And the kitchen sink is leaking
Out of work and got no money
A Sunday joint of bread and honey
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor
No money coming in
The rent collector's knocking, trying to get in
We are strictly second class
We don't understand
(Dead end!)
Why we should be on dead end street
(Dead end!)
People are living on dead end street
(Dead end!)
Gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
On a cold and frosty morning
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning
And my feet are nearly frozen
Boil the tea and put some toast on
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor
No chance to emigrate
I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late
We both want to work so hard
We can't get the chance
(Dead end!)
People live on dead end street
(Dead end!)
People are dying on dead end street
(Dead end!)
Gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
(Dead end!)
People live on dead end street
(Dead end!)
People are dying on dead end street
(Dead end!)
Gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Head to my feet (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
How's it feel? (yeah)
How's it feel? (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
I just couldn't breath
The air was too thin up there
I wanted to leave but nobody seemed to care
Then you came into my life
Brought me hope so I could see my way
And now my life's changed in so many ways
I've been fooling myself, thinking that I.....could make it all by myself
That's living a lie
Then you came into my life
Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost
I won't make it home
I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone
I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm ...............dead and gone

Another Day, Another Town
Another Day, Another Town
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim & Ingrid Croce
My dusty feet have kicked the stones
Between a thousand railroad ties
From Boston down to New Orleans
I left the girls a cryin'
But I've still got some ramblin' in me
Got some miles left on my shoes
And before I take a job again
I'll have to be low-down
Cryin' the blues
So it's goodbye, baby, the whistle is a blowin'
If I miss the train I'll have to stay around
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
I'll be off to another day in another town
You say you'd like to ramble with me
This ain't no life for a girl
Too many people out to get you in a hobo's world
And it gets mighty cold when you're on the road
'Cause a boxcar never was a home
But you could join me if you want
I'm gettin' mighty tired of bein' alone
So it's goodbye, baby, the whistle is a blowin'
If we miss the train we'll have to stay around
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
We'll be off to another day in another town
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
We'll be off to another day in another town
We'll be off to another day in another town

Dead And Gone (Gypsy)
Dead And Gone
Composer(s): Enrico Rosenbaum
Performer(s): Gypsy
Six days of runnin'
I've been trying to make it home
And they pursue me till they get back what I stole
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
I know they're closin' in
I feel them close behind
I just can't shake 'em,
It's as if they knew my mind
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
I won't make it home
I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone
I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm ...............dead and gone
I fell in this hole
Nothing but darkness there
I lost all control believing I'd die there
Then you came into my life
Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost
I just couldn't breath
The air was too thin up there
I wanted to leave but nobody seemed to care
Then you came into my life
Brought me hope so I could see my way
And now my life's changed in so many ways
I've been fooling myself, thinking that I.....could make it all by myself
That's living a lie
Then you came into my life
Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost
I won't make it home
I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone
I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone

Another Day In Paradise
Another Day In Paradise
Composer(s): Phil Collins
First release by: Phil Collins - 1989
Covered by multiple other artists
She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you
You and me in paradise
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
Can't walk but she's trying
Oh think twice ...
Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cos she didn't fit in there
Oh think twice ...

Dead And Gone (Del Reeves)
Dead And Gone
Composer(s): Joe Gibson
Performer(s): Del Reeves
Where are the flowers that bloom in the spring
Where is the song that the birds used to sing
Oh, where is the happiness that they used to bring
Dead and gone, dead and gone
Tall handsome stranger in June wed my troth
Everyone heard me when I made the oath
If I couldn't have her, then I'd see them both
Dead and gone, dead and gone
Lifeless and still on the ground there they lay
What cruel fate made me find them that day
That big old black hearse came and hauled them away
Dead and gone, dead and gone
Soon they will take me away from my cell
Then will my spirit leave this earthly shell
Though God knows I'm innocent, but who can I tell
Dead and gone, dead and gone
Dead and gone, dead and gone

Another Day (The Rutles)
Another Day
Composer(s): Ron Nasty
Performer(s): The Rutles
At times like these when enemies
Can number more than friends
A friend indeed is what I need
Not someone who pretends
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day
You're such a pain
Must I explain my every meaning to you
It's such a drag the way you nag at me
And make me feel blue
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day
You're so pusillanimous, oh yeah
Nature's calling and I must go there
A glass of wine with Gertude Stein
I know I'll never share
But I don't mind
That's just the kind of cross each man must bear
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day
You're so pusillanimous, oh yeah
Nature's calling and I must go there
Another day, I know they say
That all the world's a stage
I'll play the fool, but as a rule
I'd rather act my age
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day

Deacon Blues
Deacon Blues
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
First release by: Steely Dan - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
This is the day of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers, wild gamblers
That's all in the past
You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme
This one's for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line
I'll learn to work the saxaphone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
And I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues
My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind
I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home
(refrain)
This is the night of the expanding man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be

Another Day (Paul McCartney)
Another Day
Composer(s): Linda McCartney - Paul McCartney
First release by: Paul McCartney - 1971
Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath
She Wets Her Hair
Wraps A Towel Around Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair
It's Just Another Day
Slipping Into Stockings
Stepping Into Shoes
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat
Ah, It's Just Another Day
At The Office Where The Papers Grow She Takes A Break
Drinks Another Coffee
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Awake
It's Just Another Day
Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day
Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day
Ay
So Sad, So Sad
Sometimes She Feels So Sad
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell
Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Around
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day
So Sad
Sometimes She Feels So Sad
As She Posts Another Letter To The Sound Of Five
People Gather 'Round Her
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Alive
It's Just Another Day
Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day
Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day
Ay
So Sad, So Sad
Sometimes She Feels So Sad
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell
Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Around
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day
So Sad
Sometimes She Feels So Sad
Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath
She Wets Her Hair
Wraps A Towel Around Her

It's Just Another Day
Slipping Into Stockings
Stepping Into Shoes
Dipping In The Pockets Of Her Raincoat

De Zwemmer
De Zwemmer
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Ruud Engelander
First release by: Boudewijn de Groot - 1980
Een zwemmer zwemt, hij zwemt in zee
Hij zwemt weg van het strand
Maar neemt bepaalde beelden met zich mee
Van wat hij achterliet op het land
Hij zwemt en denkt niet aan later
Hij heeft geen last van angst of aarzeling
Boven hem lucht, onder hem water
Een zwemmer is een enkeling
Hij baant zich een weg door het water
Hij is al flink op weg naar Engeland
Achter zich hoort hij geschater
Iemand die achterbleef op het strand
Wat meegaat, dat laat hij ook achter
Wat in de war van een herinnering
Kijkt hij eens om en zwemt wat zachter
Verdriet is een vertragend ding
De kust is een vage belofte
Het koude water de verzekering
Dat hij alles waarin hij geloofde
Niet zonder reden door iets nieuws verving
Een zwemmer zwemt, hij zwemt in zee
Hij zwemt weg van het strand
Maar neemt bepaalde beelden met zich mee
Van wat hij achterliet op het land

Another Day (Geraldo & His Orch.)
Another Day
Composer(s): H. Fields - H. Barnes - D. John - D. Hurst
Performer(s): Geraldo & His Orch.
Another day, another day without you
How could I know my heart could miss you so
Another day of wishful dreams about you
Our lucky star can’t tell me where you are
And now the day has gone
I sit and watch in vain
And write your name upon
My window pane.
But some sweet day, once more I’ll feel my heart wake
I’ll hear you speak and feel you touch my cheek
And so I pray come back and end my heartache
And in you’re arms I’ll start another day

De Zusters Karamazov
De Zusters Karamazov
Performer(s): Drs. P
Tante Constance en tante Mathilde
Woonden eendrachtig en knus bij elkaar
Een was hardhorend, de andere brilde
In doorsnee waren zij zeventig jaar
In Overveen
Telden zij hun dagen bijeen
Niet meer zo koket als voorheen maar nog altijd flink ter been
Terwijl de kater sliep
En de pendule liep
En de kanarie sprak
Tjiep tjiep tjiep tjiep
Tante Constance en tante Mathilde
Erfden de kleren van tante Heleen
Waardoor ineens hun gehechtheid verkilde
Want van elk soort japon was er maar een
Er werd getwist
En naar provocaties gevist
En er werden dingen vermist
Waar de ander meer van wist
Terwijl de kater sliep
En de pendule liep
En de kanarie sprak
Tjiep tjiep tjiep tjiep
Op zekeren dag maakte tante Mathilde
Akelig lachend de koffie gereed
Daar zij haar zuster vergiftigen wilde
Die in haar eentje een wandeling deed
Met terpentijn
En een snufje rattenvenijn
En gesloten keukengordijn
Moest het wel uitvoerbaar zijn
Terwijl de kater sliep
En de pendule liep
En de kanarie sprak
Tjiep tjiep tjiep tjiep
Toen nu de koffie tot stand was gekomen
Wou zij eens proeven en nam zij een slok
Zij had de juiste dosering genomen
Tante Mathilde viel neer als een blok
Sedert die tijd
Droeg Constance in eenzaamheid
De japonnen die tot haar spijt
Tot een drama hadden geleid
Terwijl de kater sliep
En de pendule liep
En de kanarie sprak
Tjiep tjiep tjiep tjiep

Another Cup Of Coffee
Another Cup Of Coffee
Composer(s): Earl Shuman - Leon Carr
Performer(s): Brook Benton
Another cup of coffee, another cigarette
Another hour of mem'ries so hard to forget
How your crazy-lovin' arms held me so tight
Another cup of java, another lonely night
Put a dime in the jukebox, play a sad, sad song
And all the time I'll be thinkin' about the dream that's gone wrong
And where you used to say "Our love is still alive"
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night
But there'll be me, I don't blame you for walkin' out on me
'cause the way I cheated on you, I deserve this misery
Another love has found you, he's a lucky guy
Another's arms all around you, I'm so sad I could cry
Darling, if you don't come back, I know what's in sight
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night
Whoa, dear, if you don't come back, I know what's in sight
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night
Another cup of coffee, hmmm, another lonely night

De Zomer Van 1910
De Zomer Van 1910
Composer(s): Friso Wiegersma - Harry Bannink
Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld
Zij herinnert zich nog de rozen
De rozen langs het pad, en ook weet zij nog
Dat z' een rode roos had gekozen
Die kleurde zo mooi bij haar wit mousseline
Ze was nog zo jong, zo verschrikkelijk jong
In die zomer van 1910
Zij herinnert zich nog z'n ogen
Z'n mond en het gebaar van z'n hand
Toen hij van haar voorgoed heeft afscheid genomen
En dat zij hem nooit meer, nee nooit meer zou zien
Ze was nog zo jong, zo verschrikkelijk jong
In die zomer van 1910
Die dag is voorbij en die zomer vergaan
Onherroepelijk, onherroepelijk
Toch is die herinnering blijven bestaan
Onveranderlijk, onveranderlijk
De rozen die bloeien nog steeds lang het pad
Waar ze hem voor het laatst heeft ontmoet
Die zomerse dag is verstard tot een beeld
Dat haar bijblijft voor altijd, voorgoed
Die jaren zijn vervlogen
Dat beeld vergeet ze niet, ach, en steeds als zij het ziet
Komen tranen in haar ogen
Omdat het genaad'loos aan haar laat zien
Je wordt nooit meer bedroefd, maar ook nooit meer verliefd
Nooit meer jong als in 1910

Take To The Mountains
Take To The Mountains
((Italian Version: Non Si Muore Per Amore (by I Profeti) - 1971))
Composer(s): Tony Hazzard
First release by: Richard Barnes - 1970
I remember golden days
Autumn falling by the river
How I always failed to give her
Peace of mind
Take a boat or take a plane
And then take away another
The end result is still the same
No peace of mind
Wouldn't you like to know I love you?
Jump on a plane and take a ride
Come on, before I forget you
And take to the mountains and hi hi hide
Wouldn't you like to know I love you?
Jump on a plane and take a ride
Come on, before I forget you
And take to the mountains and hi hi hide
Idle friends play idle games
Keep on asking me to enter
But the feeling's in the centre
When peace of mind
Watch the piper call the tune
Watch the servant beat his master
And wonder why I never asked her
peace of mind
Wouldn't you like to know I love you?
Jump on a plane and take a ride
Come on, before I forget you
And take to the mountains and hi hi hide

De Zigeuners
De Zigeuners
((English, French & Italian Versions: The Gipsies (Dalida); Les Gitans (Dalida); Gli Zingari (Dalida))
Composer(s): Pierre Cour - Hubert Giraud - Willy van Hemert
Performer(s): Corry Brokken
Luister je m'n hart, hoor je die akkoorden
Is het vreugd of smart, wat je voelt, m'n hart
Zie je niet die gloed, waar de vuren branden
Klamp je niet mijn hart, aan deze gloed
Niemand blust het vuur van zigeunerbloed
Sluit die nachtelijke uren, in huizen en schuren
En door brandende vuren, in het woonwagenkamp
De zigeunerlui kwamen, sluit deuren en ramen
En bescherm ons Heer, Amen, bij de veilige lamp
Hoor je ze niet, bij de wilde gitaren
Zie je ze niet, zwarte ogen die staren
't Is een lied over liefde en donker verlangen
Luister niet naar hun zangen, en hun voetengestamp
Nee ik luister niet, 'k luister niet, zigeuner
Naar je lokkend lied, nee ik luister niet
'k Wil de blik niet zien, van je zwarte ogen
Nee 'k wil de wilde blik niet zien
Anders vindt mijn hart nooit meer rust, misschien
Want zigeunerlui erven de drang om te sterven
In de vreemde te sterven, van het vroegste geslacht
't Is hun bloed dat moet stromen, langs oevers vol dromen
Waar geen mens ooit kan komen, waar geen vriend hen verwacht
Ga dus voorbij, met je paard en je wagen
Ga zonder mij, 'k wil je lasten niet dragen
'k Heb een huis en een tuintje en keurige buren
Doof je lokkende vuren, en verdwijn in de nacht!

Non Si Muore Per Amore
