Light Your Windows
Light Your Windows
Composer(s): David Freiberg - Gary Duncan
Performer(s): Quicksilver Messenger Service
Hold on girl, now don't be blue
dry those tears for me and you
Can't you see our love is true, when you remember
To do just what you say you'll do, can't you see I live for you?
And I need you to trust me too, open your eyes
So the sun can shine lights in you, will light on your windows
And change all your baby blues to golden sparks that light your eyes
When you finally realize that your fears were all just lies
So open those eyes and let the sun shine lights in you
Light on your windows and take all your baby blues

Buttered Popcorn
Buttered Popcorn
Composer(s): Barney Ales; Berry Gordy Jr.
Performer(s): The Supremes;
Claudine Clark; The Vows
My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn
He took me to a show
He said he wanted some more
I said kiss me please
He said after I eat
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn
For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats buttered popcorn
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do
When I asked him what was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more butter, more
My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn
For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats buttered popcorn
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do
When I asked him
What was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more butter, more
My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn

Composer(s): George Wyle - Edward Pola
Performer(s): Doris Day
Light your lamp, and turn up the wick
I'll be there on the double quick
Wanna tell you I've been missin'
Your caressin' and you kissin'
So I'm comin' home tonight
Light your lamp so that I can see
All the love that you saved for me
Here's a lover in a hurry
In a tizzy and a flurry
Till my arms can hold you tight
How's your heart, did you check its beat
How's your kiss, is it warm and sweet
Be prepared honey when we meet
`cause I'm makin' up for lost time
Light your lamp, and turn up the wick
I'll be there pretty jiffy quick
Oh I know I've been a rover
But my roamin' days are over
And I'm comin' home tonight
Light your lamp, and turn up the wick
I'll be there on the double quick
Wanna tell you I've been missin'
Your caressin' and you kissin'
So I'm comin' home tonight
Light your lamp so that I can see
All the love that you saved for me
Here's a lover in a hurry
In a tizzy and a flurry
Till my arms can hold you tight
How's your heart, did you check its beat
How's your kiss, is it warm and sweet
Be prepared honey when we meet
`cause I'm makin' up for lost time
Light your lamp, and turn up the wick
I'll be there pretty jiffy quick
Oh I know I've been a rover
But my roamin' days are over
And I'm comin' home tonight
You'd better go light your lamp
I'm comin' home tonight

Keith Strickland; Cindy Wilson; Ricky Wilson
Performer(s): The B-52's
Yeah, if you go down to Athens, G.A.
And you're driving in your car
You won't get very far
You hear people shoutin' out
What's that?
Butterbean! Yeah!
Gramps and grannies
Kids in their teens
Junkyard dogs and campus queens
Yeah, everybody likes butterbeans
Don't you wait, don't you linger
Butterbean will slip through your fingers
Pass me a plate full
I'll be grateful
1-2-3-4
Pick 'em, pull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Pick 'em pod by pod by pod)
Pick 'em, pull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Yeah, make 'em jump outta the pot)
Come here, you butterbean, you
Come on!
Butterbean, butterbean
Butterbean, butterbean
Butterbean, butterbean
Butterbean, butterbean
Butterbean grows on the vine
Some people are fat, some people are lean
But I want you to show me the person
Who doesn't like butterbeans
Yay!
Well, you can have your yams
You can have your collard greens
But if you want to please little ol' me
You better fix butterbeans
Don't you wait, don't you linger
Butterbean will slip through your fingers
Pick 'em, pull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Pick 'em pod by pod by pod)
Pick 'em, pull 'em, put on the steam
That's how we fix butterbeans
(Pick 'em for me now, pick 'em for me now)

Light Up The Sky
Light Up The Sky
Composer(s): Alex Van Halen - David Lee Roth - Eddie Van Halen - Michael Anthony
Performer(s): Van Halen
and multiple other artists
Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates
takin' chances
We're the crash and burn
Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave
a love cross the line where none return
I watch my television; almost lost my mind
It said, "Open your eyes
Leave it all behind"
I heard the wind a whisp'rin'
strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies
Won't recognize them any more
Ooh, mama, see the firelight
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight
Wolves at my door wised up quick
Turn here and gone from on the go
Seems the old folks who come up short were the pretty
little kids who didn't want it, no
I had to pay admission when I came tonight
And it said, "Open my eyes
Leave it all behind"
I heard the wind a whisp'rin'
strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies
Won't recognize them any more
Ooh, mama, see the firelight
Ooh, lightin' up the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light 'em up!

Butter Beans
Butter Beans
Composer(s): Charles D. Colvin
Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the cornbread if you please
I don't want no collard greens
All I want is a bowl of butter beans
Just a piece of country ham
Pass the butter and the jam
Pass the biscuits if you please
And some more o' them good ol' butter beans
Red eye gravy is all right
Turnip sandwich a delight
But my children all still scream
For another bowl of butter beans
Some folks think that cornpone's best
Some likes grits more than the rest
But if I was a man of means
I'd just want them good ol' butter beans
See that lady over there
With the curlers in her hair
She's not pregnant as she seems
She's just full o' them good ol' butter beans
See that big, fat, ugly lad
He's made everybody mad
They don't love him, by no means
He's the hog that ate the last of the butter beans
When they lay my bones to rest
Place no roses upon my chest
Plant no blooming evergreens
All I want is' a bowl of butter beans
Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the cornbread if you please
I don't want no collard greens
All I want is a bowl of butter beans

Liefde is blind, deur ow word ik niet bemind

Ragazzo Triste
Ragazzo Triste
English Title: But You're Mine
Composer(s): G. Boncompagni; Sonny Bono
Performer(s): Patty Pravo; Ivan Cattaneo
(Originally performed by: Sonny & Cher)
Ragazzo triste come me ah ah
che sogni sempre come me ah ah
non c'e' nessuno che ti aspetta mai perché non sanno come sei
Ragazzo triste sono uguale a te
a volte piango e non so perché
tanti son soli come me e te ma un giorno spero cambierà
Nessuno può star solo
non deve stare solo quando si e' giovani così
Dobbiamo stare insieme, amare tra di noi
scoprire insieme il mondo che ci ospiterà
Ragazzo triste come me...
Hey hey hey vedrai - hey hey hey vedrai
non dobbiamo star soli mai
non dobbiamo star soli mai...

But You're Mine
But You're Mine
Italian Title: Ragazzo Triste
Composer(s): Sonny Bono
Originally performed by: Sonny & Cher
Covered by: Patty Pravo
When people say you're not my kind
And that your clothes are out of line
And that your hair isn't combed all the time
You're not real pretty but you're mine
We have a great big old society
That won't make room for folks like you and me
But I got some real bad news for them my friend
They're on the outside looking in
We've got a great thing going
And its gonna keep on growing
And I hope that soon they'll see the light
But until that time they'll have to blow their mind
Cos it ain't us that's gonna lose this fight
So when we're walking I don't care
When all those people stop and stare
If they'd look in your eyes they'd see
You're not real pretty but you belong to me
Hey hey hey now
Hey hey hey now
When you're lovin' me baby
And when I hold you baby
[When I kiss you]
I know you love me baby
[When I hold you]
You know I'll never leave you
[When I touch you]
I know I'll always love you
[Every day now]
You know I love you baby
You know I love you baby

Light Motiv
Light Motiv
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Déjate de rebeldías
que la Historia ha superado
¿o nos ves que la anarquía
se ha instalado en el Mercado?
Qué te importa si es injusto
que se muera la poesía
Lo sublime es darle gusto
Al gusto de la mayoría
Qué divina, lo moderna moda moderada
De lo light
Al final después de tantas calorías esto es lo que hay
Desde Texas a Chamberi
se escuchaba siempre el mismo
"light-motiv"
Déjate de hacer discursos
sobre el Logos y la Nada
lo más sabio es el concurso
de la inmensa marujada
Qué te importa que el futuro
sea un túnel sin salida
si hemos derribado el Muro
con la 'chispa de la vida'
Qué divina la, moderna moda moderada ...
Déjate de post-cultura
que eso apesta a mausoleo
aunque a veces la pintura
Sirva para algún blanqueo
Deja de volverte loco
con el Fin de la Utopía
hazte un poco neo-barroco
y, ¡a vivir que son dos días!
Qué divina la moderna moda moderada ...

But You Know I Love You
But You Know I Love You
Originally performed by: Kenny Rogers & The First Edition
When the morning sun
Streaks across my room
And I've waken up
From another dream of you
Yes I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All I've left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know I love you
Yes I love you
Oh I love you
How I wish that love
Was all we’d need to live
What a life we'd live
'Cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong
Deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keeping us apart
But you know I love you
Yes I love you
Oh I love you
And if I could only find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life of mine didn't cross our minds
All the answers were found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you
I'd come running back to you
And you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
Just to pay the rent
I must leave you all alone
But you know I made my choice
Many years ago
Now this traveling life
Is the only one I know

Light Is Faster Than Sound
Light Is Faster Than Sound
Composer(s): Peter Albin
Performer(s): Janis Joplin; Big Brother & the Holding Company
Light is faster than sound
My head to the ground
Mind going round
Faster than sound
What goes up must go down
World goes around
Sun shines around
Faster than sound
Suddenly I see your face
Faster than sound
Through the emptiness of space
Faster than sound
You’re turning my mind all around
Faster than sound
‘Cause life is faster than sound
Faster than sound
Faster than sound
Light is faster than sound
My head to the ground
Mind going round
Faster than sound
What goes up must go down
World goes around
Sun shines around
Faster than sound
Whoa, suddenly I see your face
Faster than sound
Through the emptiness of space
Faster than sound
You’re turning my mind all around
Faster than sound
‘Cause life is faster than sound
Faster than sound
Faster than sound

But Where Are You?
But Where Are You?
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Harriet Hilliard
and various other artists
The moon is high
The sky is blue
And here am I
But where are you?
A night like this
Was meant for two
And I am here
But where are you?
Have you forgotten
The night that we met?
With so much to remember
How could you forget?
The dreams I dreamed
Have yet to come true
My dreams and I are here
But where are you?

Light Flight
Light Flight
Composer(s): Bert Jansch - Danny Thompson - Jacqui McShee - John Renbourn - Terry Cox
Performer(s): Pentangle; Clare Teal
Let's get away, you say, find a better place
Miles and miles away from the city's race
Look around for someone lying in the sunshine
Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Stepping from cloud to cloud passing years of light
Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight
Star becomes a vision, never mind the meaning
Hidden there, moving fast, it won't last...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by
Now a thousand moons are about to die
No time to reflect on what the time was spent on
Nothing left, far away, dreamers fade
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Strange visions pass me by, winging sweetly close inside
O-ver the wa-ter, ah....
Swirling, the waters rise up above my head
Gone are the curling mists how they all have fled
Look, the door is open, step into the space
Provided there
Da do da, da, do da...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da ...

But One Day
But One Day
Composer(s): Mick Bower
Performer(s): The Master's Apprentices
Ah..........
Ah..........
He isn't shaken by his ways
He has 40 new girls every day
Love comes, love goes, what the difference anyway?
Today's girl loves him, yesterdays will cry
Ah..........
Ah..........
Daddy's car is always at his hand
A car that runs on tears and treat you like a man
Aftershave and suede shoes, might not have the blues
With cigarettes and car seats, what else would he choose?
Ah..........
Ah..........
Chorus
He knows the score
I don't know anything
But One Day he'll see.....that he's wrong

Life's Too Short
Life's Too Short
Performer(s): The Lafayettes
Well life's too short
And you're too sweet
Every day of your life, child
You've got to spend with me
Now let me tell you 'bout Sally
She's a-really tough
And girl you know about Emmy
She's cool enough
Oh, but life's too short to mess around
Don't you give me no stuff, child
And don't you put me down
A-no no, a-no no, a-no no, a-no
I, I keep a-tellin' you, I, I keep a-tellin' you
I, I keep a-tellin' you, aah
I, I said I told a-you baby
I said I told-a you all
I said, bah, oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hooooh
And you're too wild
To pass me by, baby
With just a kiss and a smile
We gotta up and get married
Before my hair turns gray
I need you for real, baby
I've had my time to play
Now c'mon, a-c'mon
A-c'mon, don't make me so blue
(C'mon, c'mon)
A-hey-hey, a-hey-hey
(C'mon, c'mon)
A-hey-hey, a-hey-hey ...

Niks Voor Mij
Niks Voor Mij
English Title: But Not For Me
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin;
Chef van Dijk; Max Tak
Performer(s): Greetje Kauffeld
Al wil ik nog zo graag, ik maak geen kans
Als ik een dansje waag, 'k heb nooit eens sjans
Ik maak me steeds weer druk, maar ik hoor eigenlijk
Thuis in zo'n treurig stuk van Heyermans
Ik lijk wel gek, dat ik het nog probeer
Maar ik ben niet gek, ik pik het ook niet meer
Het is voorgoed voorbij, weg met de dromerij liefde is niks voor mij
Al wil ik nog zo graag, ik maak geen kans
Als ik een dansje waag, 'k heb nooit eens sjans
Ik maak me steeds weer druk, maar ik hoor eigenlijk
Thuis in zo'n treurig stuk van Heyermans
Ik lijk wel gek, dat ik het nog probeer
Maar ik ben niet gek, ik pik het ook niet meer
Het is voorgoed voorbij, weg met de dromerij liefde is niks voor mij
Liefde is niks voor mij...
