Ich Fühl Wie Du


Ich Fühl Wie Du
Performer(s): Peter Maffay



(Er)
Ich fühl wie du
Ja es ist soweit
Für immer du
in alle Ewigkeit
Ich fühl wie du
und will dich fühlen
ich hör dir zu
Auch ohne Worte
kann ich dich versteh'n
Du wirst seh'n
denn bist du da
geht die Sonne auf
und ich geh wie auf Wolken
Oh - und werd es immer tun

Ich fühl wie du
ein Abenteuer
In mir brennt
ein neues Feuer
Ich gebe zu
Zärtlichkeit war
vor dir nur ein Wort
nicht mehr
ich mag dich sehr
und bist du nicht da
hört mein Herz auf zu schlagen
und wird es nie mehr tun

(Sie)
Ich fühl wie du
du bist mein Leben
Für immer du
es wird niemals anders sein
Ich hör dir zu
Auch ohne Worte
kann ich dich versteh'n
du wirst seh'n

(Beide)
Bricht der Himmel zusammen
Geht ein Sturm durch mein Blut
Steht die Erde in Flammen
Und wird es immer tun!

When We Were Two Little Boys


When We Were Two Little Boys
Composer(s): Edward Madden - Theodore Morse
First release: Billy Murray - 1903
Covered by multiple other artists



Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summers day
Warriors both of cause
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horses head
Wept for his toy, then cried with joy
As his young playmate said

Did you think I would leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here, Jack and don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we'll both be soliders
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember when we were
Two little boys

Long years past, war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud and in the mad crowd
Wounded and dieing lie, up goes a shout
A horse dashes out, out from the ranks so blue
Gallops away to where Joe lay, then came a voice he know

Did you think I would leave you dieing
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here, Joe we'll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two
Did you say Joe I'm all a tremble, perhaps it's the battles noise
But I thinks it's that I remember when we were two little boys

Do you think I would leave you dieing
There's room on my horse for two
Climb up here, Joe we'll soon be flying
Back to the ranks so blue
Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble, perhaps it's the battles noise
But I think it's that I remember when we were two little boys

I Wouldn't Treat My Dog (Like You Treat Me)


I Wouldn't Treat My Dog (Like You Treat Me)
Composer(s): Cy Coben
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis



I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me
If I made my dog cry like you made me cry yesterday
The neighbors all would go and call the ASPCA

I wouldn't hurt my dog like you hurt me, babe
I wouldn't say those mean old things to him
If I pushed my little hound the way you push me around
A fightin' bitin' mean ol' pooch he'd be, babe
But I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me

I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
At least I'd take him out once in a while
I wouldn't pet another dog if he was standing there
I'd hug him and I'd kiss him and I'd let him know I care

I'd give him love and kindness all the time, babe
And he pays me back with loyalty
Though he's just a D-o-g, he's got feelings too, you see
And I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
No, I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me

King Of The Whole Wide World


King Of The Whole Wide World
From "Kid Galahad"
Composer(s): Ruth Batchelor; Bob Roberts
Performer(s): Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires



A poor man wants the oyster
The rich man wants the pearl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), oh-ho-ho
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world

The rich man wants the princess
The poor man just wants a girl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), oh-ho-ho
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world

(Instrumental Break)

A poor man wants to be a rich man
The rich man wants to be a king
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), a-ha-ha
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), a-ha-ha
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Of the whole wide world

Two Little Babes In The Wood


Two Little Babes In The Wood
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Julia Silvers & George Hale; Irene Bordoni; Cole Porter



Listen, my children, and don't say a word...

Now you'll grant me that Denmark has ne'er had a grander son
Than her great author, old Hans Christian Andersen
All of you know him, so just to be good to you
I'll tell his tale of the Babes in the Wood to you

There's a tale of two little orphans
Who were left in their Uncle's care
To be reared and ruled and properly schooled
Till they grew to be ladies fair
But, oh, the luckless pair
For the Uncle, he was a cruel trustee
And he longed to possess their gold
So he led them hence to a forest dense
Where he left them to die of cold
That, at least, is what we're told

They were two little babes in the wood
Two little babes, oh so good
Two little hearts, two little heads
Longed to be home in their two little beds
So, two little birds built a nest
Where the two little babes went to rest
While the breeze, hovering nigh
Sang a last lullaby
To the two little babes in the wood

Listen, my children, and don't say a word...

Now in spite of all efforts to strengthen and quicken it
Andersens's tale never had any kick in it
So his descendant, John Murray, in fantasy
Add a scene for the tired businessman to see

They were lying there in the freezing air
When fortunately there appeared
A rich old man in a big sedan
And a very, very fancy beard
He saw those girls and cheered
Then he drove them down to New York Town
Where he covered them with useful things
Such as bonds and stocks, and Paris frocks
And Oriental pearls in strings
And a showcase full of rings

Now those two little babes in the wood
Are the talk of the whole neighbourhood
For they've too many cars, too many clothes
Too many parties and too many beaus
They have found that the fountain of youth
Is a mixture of gin and vermouth
And the whole town's agreed
That the last thing in speed
Is the two little babes in the wood

Give 'Em My Number


Give 'Em My Number
Composer(s): Dave Loggins
Performer(s): Rick Nelson
and multiple other artists



I met you at a party, I gave you my number
You called me and we started goin' out
You'd call me every night, you moved into my life
And you called me to say you're movin' out

Now that you won't have any use for it, it'd sure be nice
If somebody walks up to you and they ask you for some advice
Tell 'em if they're lookin' like they need a love in their life, in their life
Give 'em my number

Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
You know I'd do the same for you
Give 'em my number, give 'em my number

I don't know a lot of people, I'm a little shy
And seldom have any place to go
I can remember how it was when we were in love
How you used to call and tell me so
Now that you won't have any use for it, it'd sure be nice
If somebody walks up to you and they ask you for a dime
Before you let 'em dial another line
Give 'em my number

Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
You know I'd do the same for you
Give 'em my number, give 'em my number

Any hour of the day or night, if you run into somebody
That looks like they'd be my type
Sad or blue, look anything like you
Give 'em my number

Give 'em my number, tell them I'm waitin' by the phone
Give 'em my number, tell 'em I hate to be alone
Give 'em my number, and say somethin' kind about me baby
You know I'd do the same for you
Give 'em my number, give 'em my number...

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


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
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

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

Promises, Promises


Promises, Promises
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
