Move On Up


Move On Up
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Originally performed by: Curtis Mayfield
Covered by various other artists



Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Move on up towards your destination
You may find from time to time
Complications

Bite your lip and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
You cannot slip
So move on up and peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind

So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Just move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Take nothing less - not even second best
And do not obey - you must have your say
You can past the test

Move on up!

(Call Me) Number One


(Call Me) Number One Composer(s): Alan Blakley - Len "Chip" Hawkes Performer(s): The Tremeloes



I picture the rain on windows
And I think of home
I wonder if you remember
Did you ever know?

Walshie

Walshie
Walshie

Places I dream about
I will be getting out
Then I can follow the sun
You will be with me
I know you will give me
A hand to get everything done

Call me number one!
Call me number one!

Will I be afraid to tell you
That I'm coming home
I'm ready to take the highroad
I've been away too long

Then I can follow the sun
You will be with me
I know you will give me
A hand to get everything done

Places I dream about
I will be getting out
Then I can follow the sun
You will be with me
I know you will give me
A hand to get everything done

Take The L (Out Of Lover)


Take The L (Out Of Lover)
Composer(s): Marty Jourard - Martha Davis
Performer(s): The Motels; Barbie Anaka



Watching my hands
Holding my face
One more evening gone to waste
No longer do I know my place

Killing time and missing my cues
Watching her belong to you
Tears could only change my view

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

Growing up has always been tough
Good intentions never good enough
I would take you far away
Do anything to make you stay

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

Every drink and cigarette
All those times we never met
There are things we should forget
Now it's over, over

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

Move On Alone


Move On Alone
Composer(s): Mick Abrahams
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig



I feel so sad now that she's gone
I've been loving that woman too long
There is no place to go because my friends have all moved
Got nothing but sit in the sun
Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone

My bed is so empty and my heart is grown cold
guess I'll just die before I grow old
The place is untidy, that's `cos I ain't done my dirt
I just grown tired of thinking
Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone

Long Live Love (Olivia Newton-John)


Long Live Love
Composer(s): Valerie Avon - Harold Spiro
First performance by: Olivia Newton-John - 1974



Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love
All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner for the Sally Annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love
On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the Sally Annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love

Composer(s): Hank Williams
Originally performed by: Hank Williams
Covered by various other artists



Came in last night at half past ten
That baby of mine wouldn't let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause the big dog's moving in

She's changed the lock on my front door
My door key don't fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause the fat dog's moving in

This dog house here is mighty small
But it's better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog's moving in

She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a mad dog's moving in

She warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don't take no one's advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause the tall dog's moving in

She'll crawl back to me on her knees
I'll be busy scratching fleas
So slide it on over (move it on over)
Sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog cause a mad dog's moving in

Remember pup, before you whine
That side's yours and this side's mine
So shove it on over (move it on over)
Sweep it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in

Take That To The Bank


Take That To The Bank
Performer(s): Shalamar



Take that to the bank
Take that to the bank

A long time we stayed together
Been through the roughest weather, you and I
Still rich with love
We never had to borrow
And baby, only we know why

I’m so glad I saved my love for you
And I did what I had to do
I invested my heart so free
For what you gave me

Open your account to me
‘Cause I’ll give you security, my love
Take that to the bank
My interest is strong
I got a love you can count on, baby love
Take that to the bank

Best believe I shopped around
Good insurance you have found in me
Don’t you worry
No one can steal my heart
Our contract can’t be torn apart
That easily

‘Cause we build a strong love affair
On investments of equal share
Two hearts that beat as one
Just look what love has done

Dime in the socket
Just like money in my pocket, baby love
Take that to the bank
I know how to treat a man
With me you’re in good hands, baby love
Take that to the bank

Keep savin’, keep buildin’ (Baby)
That interest for our love
Take that to the bank
Keep savin’, keep buildin’ (Sugar)
That interest for our love
Take that to the bank

(Huh) Save on love
Save it for me, baby
(Huh) Save on love, yeah

Take that to the bank
Take that to the bank

Keep savin’, keep buildin’
That interest for our love {Love}
Take that to the bank
Keep savin’, keep buildin’
That interest for our love {Love}
Take that to the bank

Open your account to me
‘Cause I’ll give you security, my love
Take that to the bank
My interest is strong
I got a love you can count on, baby love
Take that to the bank

Come on, pretty baby, lets a-move it and a-groove it
Well-a shake, oh baby shake, oh honey please don't lose it

Take That Look Off Your Face


Take That Look Off Your Face
((Dutch Version: Waarom Lach Je Naar Mij (Sanne) - 1996))
Composer(s): Don Black - Andrew Lloyd Webber
First release by: Marti Webb - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



You must be mistaken, it couldn't have been
You couldn't have seen him yesterday
He's doin' some deal up in Baltimore now
I hate it when he's away

You must be mistaken, I'm sure that you are
There's more than one car with stickers on
And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants
And I'd know if he hadn't gone

Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I've got news for you, I knew before

If I'm not mistaken it started last year
I'm not very clear how it began
I noticed the change but I just closed my eyes
As only a woman can

So I didn't dig deep (So I didn't dig deep)
I did not want to know (I did not want to know)
Well you don't interfere
When you're scared of the things you might hear
When you thought, you think I will end this right there and then
Well, my fair weather friend, you're wrong again

(Take that look off your face) Take that look off your face
(I can see through your smile) I can see through your smile
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I've got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore

(Take that look off your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I've got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore

(Take that look off your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right

Kom Dichter


Kom Dichter
English Title: Move Closer
Performer(s): Wendy Van Wanten
(Originally performed by: Phyllis Nelson)



Hey lieverd, jij gaat jou weg
En ik de mijne
Maar op dit moment

Zijn we nog samen
Ted're gebaren
En ons lichaam
Volgt ons gevoel
Als we dansen
Vingers die zoeken
En het ritme
Zachtjes deinend

Kom dichter
Breng je lichaam zo dicht
tot jij voelt
Voelt dat we verder moeten gaan
Kom dichter
Breng je lichaam zo dicht
Tot jij voelt
Voelt dat ik veel meer wil van jou

Zo zoet als honing
Jij smaakt als suiker
Ja, alles wat ik proef smelt op m'n tong
Hoe meer ik proef, hoe meer ik verlang
Ik raak aan jou zo verslaafd

En als ik mocht kiezen
Wil ik jou nooit verliezen
Maar als straks de zon weer schijnt
Weet ik dat jij weer verwijnt
Toe

Kom dichter
Breng je lichaam zo dicht
tot jij voelt
Voelt dat we verder moeten gaan
Kom dichter
Breng je lichaam zo dicht
Tot jij voelt
Voelt dat ik veel meer wil van jou

Hey lieverd, jij gaat jou weg
En ik de mijne

Waarom Lach Je Naar Mij


Waarom Lach Je Naar Mij
((Adapted from: Take That Look Off Your Face (Marti Webb) - 1980))
Composer(s): Don Black - Andrew Lloyd Webber - Erik Van Neygen
Performer(s): Sanne - 1996



Je moet je vergissen
het kan echt niet zijn
het kan mijn man niet zijn
die je gisteren zag
hij moest voor de zaak
naar een beurs in Parijs
oh, wat mis ik zijn lieve lach

je moet je vergissen
ik geloof niks van jou
er is meer dan één auto
met stickers op
en meer dan één man
met een wiegende gang
hij is enkel verliefd op zijn job

waarom lach je naar mij?
ik zie zo door je heen
je geniet van 't idee
je geniet van je rol
als de fee
die komt waarschuwen
voor het immens grote gevaar
wel ik heb nieuws voor jou
ik gun het haar

het is geen vergissing
't begon vorig jaar
hij moest vaker naar het buitenland
hij veranderde zo
maar ik wou het niet zien
hij bracht vaak bloemen mee bovendien

nee, ik vroeg hem niet uit
ik keek zijn jassen niet na
en ik draaide mijn rug
toen je zei
"hij komt nooit meer terug"
want ik wist
't is niet meer dan een dom avontuur
wel mijn beste vriendin
wat zeg je nu?

Hey baby, you go your way

Tender love song softly playin'

Ooh-ooh, move closer
Move your body real close
Until we feel like we're really makin' love

Sayin' my pretty la-ady

Give Me News I Can Use


Give Me News I Can Use
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): Steppenwolf



Good evening one and all, this is channel 24
Bringing you the latest news around the world
Down in Florida today, someone tried to get away
When he commandeered the train at Disney World
Until noon it was a standoff, but then he lost his luck
When someone shot him down, dressed up like Donald Duck
It was a midget G-man
And we're sorry that we could not show it live
But we'll have film of the shooting here at five
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
For the madness has taken it's toll
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
Of my mind which is losing control
From Washington today, called a senator to say
That our future has been cancelled 'cause we're broke
We called the white house without end finally reached the President
Says he don't know if it's real or just a joke
And last night at the playoffs, things got pretty grim
They crucified the referee and tore him limb from limb
Ah, you should have been there
And in the weather, there's a hurricane in sight
And that's the way it is with us tonight
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
For the madness has taken it's toll
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
Of my mind which is losing control
Seems like every single day another mind gets blown away
And the world goes just a little more insane
I got problems of my own, tryin' to keep my house and home
And I sure could stand some cheerful news again
My agent called to tell me my record's on the chart
It's number 90 with an anchor, I never said that it was art
I gotta eat too, ya know
And my buddy who still owes me for his bail
He says, don't worry, your check is in the mail
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
For the madness has taken it's toll
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
Of my mind which is losing control
