Kings
Kings
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan
Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin'
Chorus:
We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John
While he plundered far and wide
All his starving children cried
And though we sung his fame
We all went hungry just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line
Chorus

Two Hearts Beat As One
Composer(s): Bono - The Edge - Adam Clayton - Larry Mullen
First release: U2 - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
I don't know
I don't know which side I'm on
I don't know my right from left
Or my right from wrong
Say I'm a fool
You say I'm nothing
But if I'm a fool for you
Oh, that's something
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts...
I can't stop the dance
Honey, this is my last chance
I said, can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts...
They beat on black, beat on white
Beat on everything don't get it right
Beat on you, beat on me, beat on love
I don't know
How to say what's got to be said
I don't know if it's black or white
There's others see it red
I don't get the answers right
I leave that to you
Is this love out of fashion
Or is it the time of year
Are these words distraction
To the words you want to hear
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
I try to spit it out
I try to explain
The way I feel
Oh, yeah
Two hearts
I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance

Composer(s): Wiley Smith; Carlyle Hughey
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
You promised you would be true to me
But we both know you could never be
You've been puttin' me on since the day we met
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
And then you promised me a ring
A wedding gown and all of them things
I ain't seen no diamond yet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
Promises, promises, that's all I get
All you gave me since the day we met
You'll break my heart in two again I bet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
And now you tell me you're goin' away
You swear to me that this time you'll stay
I can't believe I'm rid of you yet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
Promises, promises, that's all I get
All you gave me since the day we met
You'll break my heart in two again I bet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
Promises, promises, that's all I get

King's Call
King's Call
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy
It was a rainy night the night the king went down
Everybody was crying
it seemed like sadness had surrounded the town
Me I went to the liquor store
And I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin
I played his records all night
Drinking with a close, close friend
Now some people say that that ain't right
And some people say nothing at all
But even in the darkest of night
You can always hear the king's call
You can always hear the king's call
Well they put him away in Memphis
Six feet beneath the clay
Everybody was crying
Everybody said it was a plain grey day
Me I went to the liquor store
And I bought another bottle of wine and another bottle of gin
I played his records all night
And I got drunk all over again
Now some people say that that ain't right
That ain't right
And some people say nothing at all
I say nothing
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
And I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you
Now some people say that that ain't right
And some people say nothing at all I say nothing
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing here
They might as well bring the curtain down
I cried the night the king died

Two Hearts Are Better Than One
Two Hearts Are Better Than One
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Two heads together
Are better than one in rainy or sunny weather
The outlook can’t be a glum one
When there’s someone who cares
Just when you’re sinking without a straw in sight
Someone starts thinking and everything’s all right
Birds of a feather
Can never be shown that living alone is fun
When two hearts are better than one
Two heads together
Are better than one in rainy or sunny weather
The outlook can’t be a glum one
When there’s someone who cares
Rain in the doorway can have its sunny side
When someone goes your way and her umbrella’s wide
Birds of a feather
Can never be shown that living alone is fun
When two hearts are better than one

Composer(s): Fred Buscaglione - Leo Chiosso - Hertha
Performer(s): Angèle Durand - 1960
Ich fand ein herz in Portofino
Das lieb ich heute noch so sehr
Es war mein schicksal mein destino
In Portofino mein traum am Meer
In jenen wunderbaren tagen
Vergass ich alles um mich her
Dein kuss der löschte tausend fragen
In Portofino am blauen Meer
Was du voll liebe mir gesungen
Das konnten nicht nur lieder sein
Die zarten worte sind verklungen
Und ich bin wieder so allein
Ich fand ein herz in Portofino
Das lieb ich heute noch so sehr
Und einst erfüllt sich mein destino
In Portofino mein traum am meer
La la la ...
Nel dolce incanto del mattino
Il mare ti ha portato a me
Su chiudo gli occhi e a me vicino
A Portolino rivedo te
Was du voll liebe mir gesungen
Das konnten nicht nur lieder sein
Die zarten worte sind verklungen
Und ich bin wieder so allein
Ich fand ein herz in Portofino
Das lieb ich heute noch so sehr
Und einst erfüllt sich mein destino
In Portofino, in Portofino
Am blauen meer, am blauen meer

Kings Of The Party
Kings Of The Party
Composer(s): Cub Koda; Michael Lutz; Henry Weck
Performer(s): Brownsville Station; The Smugglers
(Spoken)
All right now, get your
Ears lowered down to the speakers
So you can understand
What I'm talking about
You know it seems like
No matter where we go
To play a concert at
There's one thing
That remains constant
>From the beginning to the
Cery end of the show
You can always count on about
One hundred to five hundred people
Down at the very front row
Screaming one word at the
Top of their lungs, boogie
And sometimes, the feeling
Prevails upon em so hard, beloved
But they just have to
Mount up on the stage
And get to gigging with the band
And when they do, uh oh
Here comes the security fuzz
And the scene is something like this
Hey, you guys are really good, man
I dig up on you guys
When you gonna play
Smokin In The...ow ow ow
Man, you made me drop my
Bottle of wine on the floor
See, there you go
So we're gonna dedicate this
Song to everybody listening
Because the ones that get into it
Are definitely the kings of the party
Well, every Friday night
There's a concert in their town
You know they all get together
And they're ready to party down
And ole Brownsville Station
Really digs em cause they get it on
You see the chicks
They all go crazy, oh
When the band begins to play
And the guys make so much noise
They scare all the cops away
But together we start to
Change the show into a
Rock and roll holiday
We're the kings of the party
We're the baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
Aw, come on and slip me five
Now we're the kings of the party
Cause we're the baddest people alive
Ten thousand eyes watching
While we leave the floor
Ten thousand tongues
Screaming more, more
And there were fifteen hundred
Still waiting outside the door
Cause we're the kings of the party
The baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
Come on and slip me five
We're the kings of the party
Yes, we're the baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
The baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
Come down, down on and slip me five
We're the kings, the kings
Of the rock and roll party
Cause we get it on
We're the kings of the party
We're the baddest people alive
We're the kings of the party
Aw, come on and slip me five
We're the kings of the party
Cause we're the baddest people alive

One heart's not enough, baby
Two hearts make you feel crazy
One kiss makes you feel so nice
Two kisses put you in paradise

Two kisses hotter than an oven

A little spark is burnin' deep inside
Love should be made by two (hoop-de-doo-oo)

Meine Ruhe ist dahin
mit einem Wort
ich weiß nicht, was ich beginn
seitdem du fort
Trostlos sieht mein Leben aus
im Augenblick
leer ist ohne dich das Haus
drum komm zurück
Was bisher mein Herz erfreut
das lässt mich kalt
Ich bin müde und zerstreut
hab keinen Halt
Was ich anfass', das zerbricht
wie unser Glück
Gib mir wieder Zuversicht
und komm zurück
Je t'attends - ich erwarte dich
erwarte dich von früh bis spät
komm, die Zeit vergeht
Je t'attends, bitte, warte nicht
ich brauche dich wie Luft und Licht
komm, bevor's zu spät
Meine Ruhe war an vielem schuld
das geb ich zu
Doch dir fehlte die Geduld
ganz entre nous
Ist der Weg auch schwer und weit
das letzte Stück - schafft viel leichter
wenn man zu zweit
drum komm zurück
Es gab in all den Jahren
manch schöne Zeit
Wo wir restlos glücklich waren
ich seh noch heut
Wie du vor mir stehst und weinst
vor lauter Glück
alles wird so sein wie einst
nur komm zurück
Je t'attends - ich erwarte dich
erwarte dich von früh bis spät
komm, die Zeit vergeht
Je t'attends - bitte, warte nicht
ich brauche dich wie Luft und Licht
komm, bevor's zu spät
Je t'attends

King's Song
King's Song
Composer(s): Jim Croce; Ingrid Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
He struggled so hard to be king
Working night and day
Dreaming of only one thing
Never a holiday
Somewhere along the way
He forgot she was only a girl
Now his kingdom has fallen
And it's really quite a tragic tale
Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen
But the queen claimed he built her a jail
He struggled so hard to be king
He wanted everything
He built her a house by the sea
Just to keep her in
Somewhere along the way
He forgot she needed a friend
Now his kingdom has fallen
And it's really quite a tragic tale
Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen
And the queen claimed he built her a jail
It happened so quickly before he could know
She was gone, far gone
Far from the castle, the diamonds and things
She had worn to the ball
There was a note that she carefully wrote
Signed it best wishes to all
Oh you struggled so hard to be king
Working night and day
Dreaming of only one thing, never a holiday
Somewhere along the way
You forgot that I needed a man
When they found him they took him back where he belonged
And his family and friends saw him annually
And they say it's a shame what's become of the king

Two Hearts
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Philip Bailey - Phil Collins - Lamont Dozier - Maurice White
Performer(s): Phil Collins
Well, there was no reason to believe
she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there to behind you
just to remind you
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
You know we're two hearts
believing in just one mind
Cos there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her
and it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts
believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place
in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her
We're two hearts...

Pasa el tiempo y sin ti no sé vivir
la razón es para mí siempre sufrir
y ahora el viento al pasar me da a entender
que en la vida sólo a ti esperaré
Yo recuerdo tu mirar y tu besar
tu sonrisa bajo el sol primaveral
estoy solo sin saber lo que tú harás
en mi alma hay dolor al esperar
Ven... a mí ven no tardes más
ven por favor te ruego yo
no podré esperar ven a mí
yo quiero saber si has de venir
por fin así dímelo amor
Es la herida que envejece sin piedad
más mi amor siempre será eternidad
en mis blancas noches tú revivirás
el recuerdo de mi amor al despertar
En mi mente siempre como un altar
y tu rostro grabo en mí para soñar
el momento ha de llegar muy pronto ya
y veré la realidad al despertar
Ven... ven a mí ven, ven no tardes más
ven por favor te ruego yo no podré esperar
ven... oh ven a mí yo... yo quiero saber
si has de venir por fin así dímelo amor ...

Kingston
Kingston
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Si tu rêves de tropiques, c'est vraiment tropical
Le reggae dans la rue, calypso dans la salle
Si tu veux tout de suite qu'on réponde aux questions
Remonte dans ton jet et retourne à Nation
Tu trouveras ici non pas ce que tu penses
Non pas ce que tu cherches, ça n'a pas d'importance
La beauté, la violence, posées sur la balance
Affamées comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
J'écoute à la radio une chanson d'amour
Qui dit qu'il n'y a qu'un Dieu, un pays, trois couleurs
Douze tribus dans la Bible, des coups d'flingues dans la cible
Des blancs pour le gâteau, cinq cent mille au ghetto
Un million dans la ville qui brûle en plein soleil
Deux millions dans une île, juste en-dessous du ciel
Affamés comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
Si tu prends ma machette juste entre les oreilles
C'est fini pour la fête, fini pour le soleil
Plus j'ai faim, plus je fume, plus je fume, plus je crois
Le Dieu qui m'a bâti doit fumer comme moi
Je suis beau comme lui, je danse comme un fauve
Le lion des rastas rôde dans les villas
Affamé comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
Cadenas sur les grilles, des familles d'en haut
La brume qui scintille au-dessus du ghetto
A Trensh Town ça bouge, t'arrête pas aux feux rouges
A Tivoli Garden, no good man
La lumière qui saute, Kingston est dans le noir
Les gun-men qui rôdent transformés en passoires
Et la mort qui s'en va, affamée comme moi...

Two Heads Are Better Than One
Two Heads Are Better Than One
Performer(s): Willie Nelson
Well, I remember the sparks that flew
In the summer of '79
My brother went wild
For a pretty girl's smile
But he didn't care that she was mine
We fought each other
Like never before
And beat till we were black and blue
And when we told her it was time
She'd made up her mind
She said, "I've had it with the both of you"
That was when the pact was made, uh
No woman could sever
We swore it brother for the rest of our lives
We would stick together forever
'Cause
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one
(woo hoo hoo)
It's double the pleasure babe
It's triple the fun
I said
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one
(better than one)
It'll make you come undone
Two heads are better than one
Well we found ourselves in Vegas
The city of sin
We were restless and looking to play
When this little blonde dolly
In the hotel lobby
Blew a kiss as she walked our way
She said, "I'm feelin kind of lonely"
And gave us a wink
Feeling bold we expressed our intentions
We said, "you gotta have both"
She said, "That's a joke."
"It takes two, just to get my attention"
Both to share and share alike, uh
That's a part of our lifestyle
So I'm gonna tell you baby
Just where we stand
If you won't love us both
It ain't what's wild
Because
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one
(woo hoo hoo)
It's double the pleasure
Triple the fun
I said
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one
It'll make you come undone
Two heads are better than one
We've come this far together
It's too late for turning back
But it's only fair to warn you
That when you rock with the boys
You never come back
(oh no)
Hey!
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one
(woo hoo hoo)
It's double the pleasure
Triple the fun
I'll tell ya
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one
(better than one)
It'll make you come undone
Nothing's better than
Two (two) heads (heads) are better than one
(woo hoo hoo)
It's double the pleasure babe
I'ts triple the fun
Two heads
Are better than one
(better than one)
It'll make you come undone
Two heads are better than one (one)
Two heads are better than one (one)
Two heads are better than one (one)
Whoa whoa whoa, baby
Two heads are better than one (one)
Two heads are better than one (one)
Two heads are better than one (one)

Ich Denk' An Dich
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Ben Juris
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Manchmal kommt ein Tag im Leben
Den man nie vergessen kann
So war's auch bei unserm Abschied
Als die Einsamkeit begann
Tränen war'n in deinen Augen
Doch da sagte ich dir leis
Ich denk' an dich wenn die Kraniche zieh'n
Und wenn der Frühling erwacht
Ich denk' an dich wenn weisser Flieder blüht
Ich denk' an dich und werde auf Dich warten
Ich denk' an dich denn so schön war die Zeit
Schön war die Zeit nur mit dir
Ich denk' an dich und fühle du denkst da auch an mich
Und kommst bald bald wieder zu mir
Jeder hat so seine Sorgen
einer wenig, einer mehr
Doch weil wir uns beide lieben
ist das alles nicht so schwer
Einmal sehen wir uns wieder
glaube mir wo du auch bist
Ich denk' an dich wenn die Kraniche zieh'n
Und wenn der Frühling erwacht
Ich denk' an dich wenn weisser Flieder blüht
Ich denk' an dich und werde auf Dich warten
Ich denk' an dich denn so schön war die Zeit
Schön war die Zeit nur mit dir
Ich denk' an dich und fühle du denkst da auch an mich
Und kommst bald bald wieder zu mir

Kingston Town
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte
Down the way, where the nights are gay
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
and when I reach Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say
I'm on my way
won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
and the dancing girls swing to and through
I must declare my heart is there
thou I've been from Maine to Mexico
But I'm sad to say
I'm on my way
won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
At the market you can hear
ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
acky rice, salt, fish are nice and the rum is fine any time a year
But I'm sad to say
I'm on my way
won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Down the way, where the nights are gay
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
and when I reach Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say
I'm on my way
won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Sad to say
I'm on my way
won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town

Two Heads
Two Heads
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
You want two heads on your body
And you've got two mirrors in your hand
Priests are made of brick with gold crosses on a stick
And your nose is too small for this land
Inside your head is your town
Inside your room your jail
Inside your mouth the elephant's trunk
And booze, the only key to your bail
Two heads can be put together
And you can fill both your feet with sand
No one will know you've gutted your mind
But what will you do with your bloody hands?
Your lions are fighting with chairs
Your arms are incredibly fat
Your women are tired of dying alive
If you've had any women at that
Wearing your comb like an ax in your head
List'ning for signs of life
Children are sucking on stone and lead
And chasing their hoops with a knife
New breasts and jewels for the girl
Keep them polished and shining
Put a lock on her belly at night, sweet life
For no child of mine
Want two heads on your a- a- body
And you've got two mirrors in your ha-a-a-a-and-a

Ich Denk An Dich
((French Version: Ce Sera Moi (Nana Mouskouri))
Composer(s): Christoph Busse - A. Taylor
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Wenn der leichte Wind leise durch das Tal weht
Und wenn Du den Adler fliegen siehst
Wenn ein weicher Regen Tränen auf Dein Herz legt
Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich
Bin ohne Dich in diesem fremden Land
Auf einem Weg dem ich nicht folgen kann
So viele Zeichen an der Wand keines ist von Dir
Ich träum mich langsam fort von hier eh ich mich verliere
Wenn der leichte Wind leise durch das Tal weht
Und wenn Du den Adler fliegen siehst
Wenn ein weicher Regen Tränen auf Dein Herz legt
Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich
Und wenn Du schläfst dann halt ein Fenster auf für mich
Denn ich bin der Wind der durch Dein Zimmer fliegt
Hör auf jeden Flügelschlag denn der Adler das bin ich
Und an einem Morgen irgendwann komm ich selbst zurück
Wenn der leichte Wind leise durch das Tal weht
Und wenn Du den Adler fliegen siehst
Wenn ein weicher Regen Tränen auf Dein Herz legt
Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich
Verliebte schau'n bei Nacht die Sterne an
Vereint in dem was auch der andre sehen kann
Ich hab keine Sterne hier nur Lichter dieser Stadt
Blenden meine Augen so und jagen durch die Nacht
Wenn der leichte Wind leise durch das Tal weht
Und wenn Du den Adler fliegen siehst
Wenn ein weicher Regen Tränen auf Dein Herz legt
Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich
Denk ich an Dich, denk ich an Dich
