Something For The Boys
Something For The Boys
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Evelyn Dall
and multiple other artists
I’m always doing something
Something for the boys
I’m always doing something
For the lads if it adds to their joy
So don’t tell me it’s a wrong thing
If I’m out with ‘em nightly till three
‘cos I’m always doing something for the boys
Or they’re doing something for me
Back in the days of gifty giving
When all God’s daddies had greens
I was oh so busy living
Beyond several gentlemen’s means
I didn’t care much where I fluttered
Long as my bank roll was buttered
But now my life’s completely cluttered
With soldiers, sailors
Not to speak of those big marines
‘cos I’m always doing something
Something for the boys
I’m always doing something
For the lads if it adds to their joy
So don’t tell me its a wrong thing
If I flop on some corporal’s knee
‘cos I’m always doing something for the boys
Or they’re doing something for me

Up On Cripple Creek
Up On Cripple Creek
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): The Band;
and various other artists
When I get off of this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi river
To the Gulf of Mexico
To Lake George, Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
And she told me just to come on by
If there's anything she could do
{Refrain}
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win
And I bet on another to show
Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag came around the track
Sure enough he had won
{Refrain}
I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and blew it in my face
Just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world
I sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine
Dips her doughnut in my tea
{Refrain}
Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings
But I love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my heart a fall
To the bottom of my feet
And I swore and I took another pull
My Bessie can't be beat
{Refrain}
Now, it's hot in California
And up north it's pretty cold
And this living off the road
Is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call up my big mama
Tell her I'll be rolling in
Bet you know, deep down, I'm kinda tempted
To see my sweet Bessie again
{Refrain}

Give A Little Love Back To The World
Give A Little Love Back To The World
Composer(s): Paul Curtis
First performance by: Emma - 1990
We've come so far on this great planet
We should be proud of all the great things we've achieved
But in our search for life's great knowledge
We go on takin' out and never plant new seeds
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
Give a little love back to the world
We've got to stop, think of tomorrow
One day our children may have nothing left to share
Let's do it now, then in the future
They will look back at us with pride and know we cared
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
We got no time to hesitate
Tomorrow it may be too late
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
We still got time, we can do it together
Give a little love back to the world
(Give a little love back) to the world

Something Following Me
Something Following Me
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
While standing at the junction on 42nd Street
I idly kick a pebble lying near my feet
I hear a weird noise, take a look up and down
The cause of the commotion is right there on the ground
Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home
but there's no doubt about it, it's my own tombstone
I went into a shop, and bought a loaf of bread
I sank my teeth into it, thought I'd bust my head
I dashed to the dentist, said, 'I've got an awful pain!'
The man looks in my mouth and screams, 'This boy is insane!'
Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home
but there's a lump in my mouth of my own tombstone
I went to see a movie, got the only empty seat
I tried to stretch out in it, something blocking my feet
Finally the lights came up, and I could clearly see
a slab of engraved marble, just staring up at me
Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home
but there's no doubt I'm sitting on my own tombstone

Quand Je Te Rêve
Quand Je Te Rêve
First performance by: Céline Carzo - 1990
Je te vois tout en haut des tours dans les buildings de Singapour
Sous un peu de pluie à Cherbourg, dans les jardins du Luxembourg, loin toujours...
Un vol d'oiseaux sur Manhattan revient me dire que tu t'éloignes
Je dessine notre amour au fil de tes absences
Et c'est comme un été qui commence!
Quand je te rêve, y a plus d'heure, plus de distance
Rien n'a plus d'importance, j'oublie tous mes états d'urgence
Quand je te rêve, tu me prends, tu me soulèves
Un sourire sur tes lèvres et j'ai peur du jour qui se lève
Quand je te rêve, quand je te rêve
Tu m'attends sur le banc d'un square dans toutes les salles des aérogares
Je te croise au fond des regards derrière les glaces bleues des miroirs
Je devine ton visage dans toutes les transparences
Des voyages que je fais en silence
Quand je te rêve, y a plus d'heure, plus de distance
Rien n'a plus d'importance, j'oublie tous mes états d'urgence
Quand je te rêve, c'est comme un vent qui m'enlève
Qui me donne la fièvre, viens avant que la nuit s'achève
Viens dans mon rêve, viens dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve, viens dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve!
Oh... viens dans mon rêve
Oh...
Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!
Viens dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve, dans mon rêve!

Up The Hill Backwards
Up The Hill Backwards
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie
The vacuum created
by the arrival of freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling
witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
up the hill backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo
While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled
it's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you
if one can grasp it
More idols than realities
I'm OK, you're so-so
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

Come with me
And we shall run across the sky
And il-lum-inate the night

Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be

Closer to heaven

Stay with me
And we shall let expression sing

Hear freedom's virtues ringing

Can't you hear 'em ringing?

Oh, oh, oh

Memories of yesterday
Yesterday's broken dreams
Don't you know
They'll all fade away
If you'll come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be
Mary:
Where we can be
Cindy:
Where we can be
Closer to heaven

Ik Wil Alles Met Je Delen
Ik Wil Alles Met Je Delen
First performance by: Maywood - 1990
Jij bent niet de enige die zich verloren voelt
En al kwamen woorden harder aan dan ik ze had bedoeld
Ik meende alles wat ik zei, ik heb ook geleerd
Om te vechten voor een nieuwe dag, is dat dan verkeerd
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn
En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn
Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol
Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol
Het leven is een carrousel, het leven is een straat
Die eens doodloopt als je niet meer weet hoe het verder gaat
Even, ja heel even maar denk je 't is voorbij
Maar ik hou van jou zoals je bent, hou je ook van mij
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn
En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn
Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol
Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol
Als ik het licht zie aan de horizon
Weet ik nog hoe het was, hoe het eens begon
Ik wil alles met je delen, 'k wil alles voor je zijn
En als je me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn
Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol
Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol

Up The 'Pool
Up The 'Pool
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
I'm going up the `pool from down the smoke below
to taste my mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo
The candyfloss salesman watches ladies in the sand
down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting
Mister Universe
The iron tower smiles down upon the silver sea
and along the golden mile they'll be swigging mugs of tea.
The politicians there who've come to take the air
while posing for the daily press
will look around and blame the mess on Edward Bear
There'll be bucket, spades and bingo, cockles, mussels, rainy days,
seaweed and sand castles, icy waves
Deck chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down,
sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze
We're going up the `pool from down the smoke below
to taste my mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo
The candy floss salesman watches ladies in the sand
down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting
Mister Universe
There'll be buckets, spades and bingo, cockles, mussels, rainy days,
seaweed and sand castles, icy waves
Deck chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down,
sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze
Oh Blackpool
Oh Blackpool

Something About You
Something About You
Composer(s): Brian Holland - Lamont Dozier - Eddie Holland
First release by: The Four Tops - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Darlin' darlin'
If I could have you to call my very own
I work my fingers to the bone, I am alone
To you I'd always come home
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you set my soul on fire
I need you, yeah, badly
I know what price I have to pay
'Cause without you, darlin', I'd worry hard
I love you anyway
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you're my only desire
I'm just yours puppet on a string
And tears sometimes it brings
Do me any way you wanna when you wanna
I'll keep you just the same
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
You're a real heartbreaker
You will never let me sit down
There's something about you, baby
That shakes me all up inside
You're a real heartbreaker
But I need you just the same ...

Up The Revolution
Up The Revolution
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): Elton John; The Bee Gees
I tell you the truth can be painful
And the mainstream of life can be cruel
If you believe in your chances today
you could be a fool, don't you be a fool, oh no
Revenge is mine, oh no
A case of do or die
Gather round if you want to be free
Sing the words to this song
We go up the revolution, go down to what you mean to me
When achieving the impossible is a possibility
It's a time for any loser to win, it's how you play the game
Don't you start the revolution without me in another name
Stand by your bunbury notions
That is how you get to be strong
Now you come here from over the sea
Where you don't belong, no you don't belong, oh no
Friend of mine, oh no
A case of do or die
Gather round if you want to be free
Sing the words to this song
We go up the revolution, go down to what you mean to me
When achieving the impossible is a possibility
It's a time for any loser to win, and you can overthrow
We go up the revolution, freedom strike another blow
Oh no, revenge is mine, oh no
A case of do or die
Gather round if you want to be free
Sing the words to this song
We go up the revolution, go down to find a brighter day
If you dream the unapproachable dream, you find a better way
If it's just another corner you're in, then you can overthrow
We go up the revolution, freedom strike another blow

Macédomienne
Macédomienne
Composer(s): Philippe Lafontaine
First performance by: Philippe Lafontaine - 1989
Quand elle pleure, c'est tout l'Adriatique
Qui se déchaîne dans ses yeux
Quand elle dort, c'est pas très loin d'Ohrid
Elle fait des rêves au bord de beaux lacs tout bleus
Je la revois, petite fille aux pieds nus
De la pluie dans ses cheveux
Dans sa maison, au sol en terre battue
Elle a laissé les illusions de tous ses jeux
Qu'elle veut rien qu'à elle
Elle a le charme des Macédomiennes
C'est vital que je l'aime, que j'y tienne
Quoique vous fassiez, quoique vous pensiez
Mais elle est plus belle
Ceux qui s'en défient qu'ils y viennent
Ils verront combien j'y gagne et qu'elle est mienne
Vous pouvez crier, vous pouvez pleurer, vous pouvez rire
Surtout pas d'elle
Quand elle se couche sur fond de colline
Elle fait de mon corps ce qu'elle veut
C'est un tournesol émigré dans la vigne
Au cœur aride et qui fait flamme de tout feu
Un cri tzigane caché dans ses murmures
Elle vit l'amour sans désaveu
Quand elle se bat du haut de ses blessures
Elle fait semblant de tout
Elle fait la nique aux dieux
Trop ont envie d'elle
Elle a le charme des Macédomiennes
C'est vital que je l'aime, que j'y tienne
Quoique vous fassiez, quoique vous pensiez
Mais elle est plus belle
Et ceux qui s'en défient qu'ils y viennent
Ils verront combien j'y gagne et qu'elle est mienne
Vous pouvez crier, vous pouvez pleurer, vous pouvez rire
Surtout pas d'elle

Up The Wooden Hills To Bedfordshire
Up The Wooden Hills To Bedfordshire
Composer(s): Ian MacLagan
Performer(s): The Small Faces
When you're slipping into sleep
That's the time to unwind
Sinking down into the deep
That's the time of no time
When you're slipping into sleep
All the sounds around you
Seem to have a new meaning
Leave your body behind
With a different feeling
When you're slipping into sleep
The day is night
The night is day
So squeeze out the light as I slip away
Up the wooden hills to Bedfordshire
Up the wooden hills to Bedfordshire
When you're slipping into sleep
There's a world you will find
That's all yours and you can keep
That's the only thing to keep
When you're slipping into sleep
All the sounds around you
Seem to have a new meaning
Leave your body behind
With a different feeling
When you're slipping into sleep

Something About The Way You Look Tonight
Something About The Way You Look Tonight
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
and multiple other artists
There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun
I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay
And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight
With a smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start

Up To Me
Up To Me
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Take you to the cinema
and leave you in a Wimpy Bar
you tell me that we've gone to far
come running up to me
Make the scene at Cousin Jack's
leave him put the bottles back
mends his glasses that I cracked
well that one's up to me
Buy a silver cloud to ride
pack the tennis club inside
trouser cuffs hung far too wide
well it was up to me
Tyres down on your bicicle
your nose feels like an icicle
the yellow fingered smoky girl
is looking up to me
Well I'm a common working man
with a half of butter bread and jam
and if it pleases me I'll put one one you man
when the copper fades away
The rainy season comes to pass
the day-glo pirate sinks at last
and if I laughed a bit too fast
Well it was up to me

Bandido
Bandido
Composer(s): Jose L. Abel - Raul Orellana - J. Stinus
First performance by: Azúcar Moreno - 1990
La luna me embrujó y me llevó hasta ti, veneno del amor que yo feliz bebí
Y aunque mi pecho ardió y me abrasó la piel, me supo dulce como la miel
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón
Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Y ahora cada vez que de mi lado te vas, siento el dolor crecer más y más
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón
Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Así que abrázame con furia de huracán, que el fuego de tu amor sea como un volcán
Y luego bésame, atrápame en tu red, que al fin tus labios colmen mi sed
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón
Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión
Tus ojos bandido robaron con cuentos la sangre y la vida de mi corazón
Tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos, suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión

Up Where We Belong
Up Where We Belong
Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie;
Will Jennings; Jack Nitzsche
Performer(s): Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes;
The Starsound Orch.; Tramaine Hawkins; Glen Campbell
Who knows what tomorrow brings
in a world where few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real
I keep it alive
The road is long
There are mountains in the way
but we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to used to be
live their lives looking behind
When all we have is here and now
All our lives
out there to find
The road is long
There are mountains in the way
but we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow
Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive... today
Love lift us up where we belong
where the eagles cry
on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
far from the world we know
up where the clear winds blow
(Repeat Chorus)
