King Of The World
King Of The World
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Joe Jackson
Hello one and all
Was it you I used to know
Can't you hear me call
On this old ham radio
All I got to say
I'm alive and feeling fine
If you come my way
You can share my poison wine
Chorus
No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world
As far as I know
I don't want your bread
I don't need your helping hand
I can't be no savage
I can't be no highwayman
Show me where you are
You and I will spend this day
Driving in my car
Through the ruins of Santa Fe
Chorus
I'm reading last year's papers
Although I don't know why
Assassins cons and rapers
Might as well die
If you come around
No more pain and no regrets
Watch the sun go brown
Smoking cobalt cigarettes
There's no need to hide
Taking things the easy way
If I stay inside
I might live til Saturday
Chorus

Two Less Lonely People In The World
Two Less Lonely People In The World
Performer(s): Air Supply
I was down, my dreams were wearing thin
When you're lost where do you begin
My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
Looking for the love, that never came my way
Then you smiled and I reached out to you
I could tell you were lovely too
One look then it all began for you and me
The moment that we touched, I knew that there would be
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people in the world, tonight
Just to think, what I might have missed
Looking back how did I exist
I've dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far
But miracles come true, I know, 'cause here we are
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people in the world, tonight
Tonight I fell in love with you
And all the things I never knew
Seem to come to me somehow
Baby, love is here and now there's
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people in the world, tonight

Why So Lonely
Why So Lonely
Composer(s): Paul Tannen
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
Why so lonely, why is my world in such a spin
Now he's gone and yet, I guess, I still love him
Why so lonely, why all this misery
I knew it couldn't last, he never belonged to me
If I'd been smart I would have never taken that second chance
He hurt me once before and now he's done it again
Why so lonely, why is my world in such a spin
Now he's gone and yet, I guess, I still love him
Why so lonely, why all this misery
I knew it couldn't last, he never belonged to me
Why so lonely, why so lonely

King Tut
Composer(s): Steve Martin
Performer(s): Steve Martin; Hit Crew
You know
one of the greatest art exhibits ever to tour the United
States is the treasures of Tutankamen or King Tut!
(King Tut)
(King Tut)
Now when he was a young man
He'd never thought he'd see
(King Tut)
People stand in line
To see the boy king
(King Tut)
How'd you get so funky?
(Funky Tut)
They said you do the monkey
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut)
(King Tut)
Now if I'd known
They'd line up just to see him
(King Tut)
I'd've taken all my money
And bought me a museum
(King Tut)
Buried with a donkey
(Funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut)
Dancing by the Nile
(Disco dancing)
The ladies love his style
(Fox Tut)
Rockin' for a mile
(Rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile
He gave his life for tourism
(King Tut)
(Tut, tut, tut, tut ...)
Golden idols!
He's an Egyptian!
They're selling you
(King Tut)
Now when I die
Now don't think I'm a nut
(King Tut)
Don't want no fancy funeral
Just one like old King Tut
(King Tut)
He could'a won a Grammy
(King Tut)
Buried in his 'jamies
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, he was born in Arizona)
He's got a condo made of stone-a ...
(King Tut)

Bedankt

Allemaal erg bedankt
Bedankt
Bedankt
Allemaal erg bedankt
Bedankt
Allemaal erg bedankt
Allemaal erg bedankt
Allemaal bedankt dat jullie Griekenland nu willen steunen
Fijn dat wij nu even financieel op jullie mogen leunen
110 miljard gaan jullie met z’n allen aan ons lenen
110 miljard, want ja bij ons was het ineens verdwenen
Het ging zo snel, het is zo moeilijk om het te te verklaren
Ja heel misschien komt het door die corrupte ambtenaren
Zij hebben ons geld zonder pardon over de balk gesmeten
Dat terwijl wij Grieken nietsvermoedend onze gyros vreten
Maar ja, wij zijn onschuldig, want wij konden het niet weten
Maakt u zich geen zorgen over alle wilde spookverhalen
Dat wij jullie lening never nooit meer kunnen terugbetalen
Tuurlijk, 110 miljard dat krijg je terug, dat is een schijntje
Wij zijn niet corrupt we houden mensen heus niet aan het lijntje
O ja dat zijn we wel nou hahahahahaha geintje
Wij hebben jarenlang zonder problemen kunnen graaien
Maar wees gerust hoor mensen, wij gaan jullie heus niet naaien
Naaien op z’n Grieks u weet wat wij daarmee bedoelen
Lekker in de kont, zo hard dat je het wekenlang blijft voelen
Goed, ik dwaal af, ik moet me even blijven concentreren
Had ik al gezegd dat wij de hulp van jullie echt waarderen
Zo lief dat jullie met z’n allen onze schuld betalen
Wij snappen best dat jullie and’re landen daarvan balen
En daarom wil ik namens alle Grieken hier herhalen:
Bedankt
Bedankt
Jongens ontzettend bedankt
Bedankt, Duitsland 22,4 miljard
Bedankt, Frankrijk 16,8 miljard
Jeetje ontzettend bedankt, Spanje 9,8 miljard
Bedankt, Nederland 4,7 miljard
En dat voor zo een klein land
Allemaal erg bedankt
Wij Grieken zijn het nu een keertje zat
Wij Grieken worden teveel onderschat
Vergeet niet, wij zijn toch de bakermat
Maar alles heeft men al van ons gejat
Wij Grieken zijn het nu een keertje zat
Wij Grieken worden teveel onderschat
Vergeet niet, wij zijn toch de bakermat
Maar alles heeft men al van ons gejat
Wij Grieken willen nu ook wel es wat
Want alles hebben jullie al gejat
Want de democratie dat hebben jullie wel van ons
En het rechtssysteem, nou dat hebben jullie wel van ons
En de homosex, nou dat hebben jullie ook van ons
Charisteas, ja nou die mochten jullie houden
En de gyros, ja nou, die hebben jullie wel van ons
En souvlaki, nou ja, dat hebben jullie ook van ons, raki
dat hebben jullie ook van ons, en ouzo, hebben jullie ook van ons
en noem het allemaal maar op, muziek dat hebben jullie ook van ons
cultuur dat hebben jullie ook van ons, theater, allemaal van ons
Porno, dat is dus ook door ons bedacht, zonder ons was er helemaal geen sex
en zeker weten niet anaal, alles komt uit het mooie Griekenland
Maar niemand die ons eens een keer bedankt, dus werd het wel een keertje tijd
Dus die 110 miljard hebben wij gewoon verdiend
Lekker puhuh, want ja we hebben het gewoon verdiend
Alle and’re landen - staan nu in hun nakie
Maar alle Grieken dansen vrolijk de sirtaki!

Burning A Hole In My Mind
Burning A Hole In My Mind
Composer(s): Cy Coben
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
Though it happened long ago, the hurt won't let go
And it's burning a hole in my mind
I see her and I see you and the things we used to do
And it's burning a hole in my mind
I said I'd forget and I tried
But my heart tells my tongue that it lied
Though I try to forgive every moment I live
Is a torture the Devil designed
In my mind's eye I see how you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind
In my mind's eye I see how you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind

Kingdom Of Desire
Kingdom Of Desire
Composer(s): Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar
Performer(s): Toto
You used to be on fire now you chill me to the bone
We used to fly like angels now we're sinking like a stone
You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels
I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing
And oh, one thing I know
There's only one place left for me to go
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed
My sheets feel like sandpaper
And my pillow feels like lead
But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea
I'm sinking like a stone babe that's how it's got to be
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me I'll never feel a thing
And oh, if I don't have you
There's only one thing left for me to do
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
(Instrumental break)
When you dig up God's little acre you lose all peace of mind
You stare into the distance looking for a sign
But that sign it never comes babe
Your wishes won't come true
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you
And oh, one thing I know
There's only one place left for me to go
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
(repeats 2x)
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

Two Heavens
Two Heavens
Composer(s): Don George - Ted Grouya
Performer(s): Doris Day
Two heavens one high in the skies
Two heavens one here in your eyes
I never dreamed I'd kiss an angel
But darling here you are
In an overcoat of moonbeams buttoned with a star
I'm thrilled to high heaven just feeling your touch
My heaven I love you so much
And while our lips are making memories
This moment is divine
I see two heavens and both of them are mine

Two Hearts That Pass In The Night
Two Hearts That Pass In The Night
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye
Two hearts that pass in the night
In the magical light of the moon
Knowing how soon night is gone
Two hearts that join in a glance
And discover romances are made
Only to fade with the dawn
So for an hour you were mine
And my heart was aglow
With a power beyond divining
Two hearts have tasted delight
Must they always be lonely, alas
Two hearts that pass in the night?

Don't Keep Me Lonely Too Long
Composer(s): Melba Montgomery
Performer(s): George Jones
and multiple other artists
It sure gets lonely alone
No one to cry to alone
Time sure get slow since you're gone
Don't keep me lonely too long
I need to hold you in my arms
And hear you say you need me
Don't let me live on dreams alone
Don't keep me lonely too long
Mem'ries are bad for one so lonely
My tortured heart cries out
Because it loves and wants you only
Yes I'm too lonely alone
Afraid I can't stand alone
Without your love I can't go on
Don't keep me lonely too long

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
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

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

And then you promised me a ring
A wedding gown and all of them things

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

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
