King Creole
King Creole
From the film "King Creole"
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires;
and various other artists
(King Creole.............Go!)
There's a man in New Orleans who plays a-rock and roll
He's a guitar man with a great big soul
He lays down a beat like a ton of coal
He goes by the name of King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
That-a hip shakin' King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)
When the King starts to do it, it's as good as done
He holds his guitar like a tommy gun
He starts to growl from way down his throat
He bends a string and that's all she wrote
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
That-a hip shakin' King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)
He sings a song about a crawdad hole
He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about pork and greens
He wails some blues 'bout New Orleans
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
That-a hip shakin' King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)
(Instrumental Break)
(Yeah!) He plays somethin' evil, then he plays somethin' sweet
No matter what he plays, you got to get up on your feet
And when he gets the rockin fever, baby, heaven sakes
He don't stop playin' till his guitar breaks
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
That-a hip shakin' king creole
(King Creole, yeah go!)
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shakin' King Creole
(Creole, Creole, Creole, Creole)

Composer(s): Georges Koger - Henri Varna - Vincent Scotto - Jack Murray - Barry Trivers
Performer(s): Perry Como - 1947

Two loves have I and they tear me apart
Two loves have I, both are in my heart
One is a flower and the other a flame
Two loves have I, but they're not the same
When I'm in a gay mood, 'tis then my light love I crave
Then again at times my other love can make me a slave
I can't deny that to both I am true
Two loves have I, both of them are you
I can't deny that to both I am true
Two loves have I, both of them are you

Ich Suchte Liebe Bei Dir
Ich Suchte Liebe Bei Dir
Composer(s): J. Heider; J. Relin
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Ich suchte Liebe bei dir
Ich suchte Sonne und Licht
Doch ich bin einsam und frier
Was mir so fehlt, fand ich nicht
Wege die nirgendwo enden hast du mir gezeigt
Hast du ein Märchen für uns beide erzählt
Ganz wunderschön ist doch die Wahrheit verschweigt
Nur Fragen stehen hier vor mir, hier vor mir
Ich wollte einmal nur seh'n
Das du die Wunder verstehst
Die nur aus Liebe gescheh'n
Du drehst dich um und gehst
Wege die nirgendwo enden hast du mir gezeigt
Hast du ein Märchen für uns beide erzählt
Ganz wunderschön ist doch die Wahrheit verschweigt
Nur Fragen stehen hier vor mir, hier vor mir
Ich suchte Liebe bei dir
Ich suchte Sonne und Licht
Doch ich bin einsam und frier
Was mir so fehlt, fand ich nicht ...

King For A Day
King For A Day
Composer(s): Tom Bailey; Alannah Currie; Joe Leeway
Performer(s): The Thompson Twins
If I was king for just one day
I would give it all away for loving you
I know you well And I can tell
Something's on your mind
'Cos in your dreams The demon screams
And I know he's going to hurt you blind
Some people hunger spend a fortune all their lives
The saddest fools in paradise
If I was king for just one day
I would give it all away
I would give it all away for loving you
If I was king for just one day
Diamond rings And all those things
They never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame It's just a name
That only satisfies you for a while
I've heard it said
Or maybe read
Only money makes the world go 'round
But all the gold
Won't heal your soul
If your world should tumble to the ground
So listen,
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah
If I was king for just one day
I would give it all away
I would give it all away for loving you
If I was king for just one day
If I was king for just one day
I would give it all away
I would give it all away for loving you
If I was king for just one day
If I was King
For just one day
For just one thing to say
Love...

Watching The Clouds Roll By
Watching The Clouds Roll By
From the Broadway Show "Animal Crackers" (1928)
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar; Harry Ruby
Performer(s): Bernice Ackerman & Milton Watson
Milton:
Nearly ev'ry new day for me was a blue day
My life was just one blue Monday
How the days would drag on, if they had no tag on
I couldn't tell which was Sunday
I kept my eyes on the horizon
But only clouds were there
Nothing could move them or improve them
Nobody seemed to care
Suddenly you stepped in
And happiness crept in
And ev'rything changed in one day
Now you and I can clear the sky.....
Looking for the sun
Two loving hearts are better than one
We'll have lots of fun
Watching the clouds roll by
Cares don't mean a thing
Whether it's Winter, whether it's Spring
While two hearts can sing
Watching the clouds roll by
We'll be as near as love birds
As any two
And, dear, if we're like love birds
What are a few April showers
When it's dark or fair
What does it matter, what do we care
If we both are there
Watching the clouds roll by
Bernice:
Life for me was boredom, each hour was more dumb
Than ev'ry one that preceded
Time would slowly tick off, I wanted to kick off
The hours could not be speeded
I counted all days, Spring and Fall days
Just like so many sheep
Even the night through, I'd go right through
Counting them in my sleep
Suddenly I woke up
And all the clouds broke up
For you were all that I needed
My clouds I find are silver lined
Looking for the sun
Two loving hearts are better than one
We'll have lots of fun
Watching the clouds roll by
Cares don't mean a thing
Whether it's Winter, whether it's Spring
While two hearts can sing
Watching the clouds roll by
We'll be as near as love birds
As any two
And, dear, if we're like love birds
What are a few April showers
When it's dark or fair
What does it matter, what do we care
If we both are there
Watching the clouds roll by

King George Street
King George Street
Composer(s): Chris Difford; Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze
She left in the middle of the night with the kids
Wrapped in a blanket with a packet of crisps
Heading for her mother's on another estate
The kids looked up at the light and the rain
In the middle of the night
Such adventures made
For two little kids
Staying up late
It was rainy and windy
As winter was bleak
At four in the morning on King George Street
She couldn't get to sleep, where on earth had he gone?
The door opened wide and the light went on
He was drunk as a lord with a tyre marked hat
Falling in the hall on top of the cat
Singing viva espana
To a crying wife
He took a swing at the shade
On the light
They were knocking on the door
Dressed like refugees
In the pouring rain on King George Street
She won't have that behavior
In her house anymore
He's got to sober up or get kicked out of the door
Down on the corner, the kids at his feet
As Daddy comes home on King George Street
As Daddy comes home
They stood around the kettle and watched as it brewed
Sneezing into hankies hands all blue
The next evening he came around to the house
With a bunch of flowers; they locked him out
He peered through the window
Mouthed words in the air
Her lips to a cup
She saw him out there
The kids came running
But were they happy to see
Their Daddy back home on King George Street
Their Daddy back home on King George Street

Two Lovely Black Eyes
Two Lovely Black Eyes
Composer(s): Charles Coburn
Performer(s): Charles Coburn
Strolling so happy down Bethnal Green
This gay youth you might have seen
Tompkins and I, with his girl between
Oh! what a surprise!
I prais'd the Conservatives frank and free
Tompkins got angry so speedilee
All in a moment he handed to me
Two lovely black eyes!
Next time, I argued I thought it best
To give the conservative side a rest
The merits of Glad-stone I freely pressed
When
Oh! what a surprise!
The chap I had met was a Tory true
Nothing the Liberals right could do
This was my share of that argument too
Two lovely black eyes!
The moral you've caught I can hardly doubt
Never on politics rave and shout
Leave it to others to fight it out, if
You would be wise
Better, far better, it is to let
Lib'rals and Tories alone, you bet
Unless you're willing and anxious to get
Two lovely black eyes!
Two lovely black eyes!
Oh! what a surprise!
Only for telling a man he was wrong
Two lovely black eyes!

Ich singe dir ein Liebeslied
Ein literatur ......? ziert
Dass so heiß wie meine Sehnsucht blüht
Darf ich dir mein kleines Lied verschenken?

Wird so eine Weile mein Gedenken
Meine Wünsche, meine Klagen

Drum singe ich dir ein Liebeslied
Ein Lied in dem die Sehnsucht blüht
Und was mir mit Worten nie gelang
Soll dir heut' Verrater mein Gesang
(Heilfroh, dass du ein Unfall läßt, hier)???
Wie soll ich's sagen dir, damit du nicht von mir gehst
Wenn ich dir mein Herz zu Füßen leg
Weiss ich nur einen Weg, dass du mich verstehst
Ich singe dir ein Liebeslied
Ein literatur ......? ziert
Dass so heiß wie meine Sehnsucht blüht
Darf ich dir mein kleines Lied verschenken?
Vielleicht ....? dich mein Lied bewegt
Ich hab' mein Herz hineingelegt
Wenn der Wind zu dir die Töne trägt
Wird so eine Weile mein Gedenken
Meine Wünsche, meine Klagen
Habe ich nie gewagt zu sagen
Drum singe ich dir ein Liebeslied
Ein Lied in dem die Sehnsucht blüht
Und was mir mit Worten nie gelang
Soll dir heut' Verrater mein Gesang

Two Lost Souls
Composer(s): Jerry Ross - Richard Adler
First release: Gwen Verdon and Stephen Douglass - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists
Two lost souls on the highway of life
We ain’t even got a sister or brother
But ain’t it just great?
Ain’t it just grand?
We got each other
Two lost ships on a stormy sea
One with no sail and one with no rudder
But ain’t it just great?
Ain’t it just grand?
We got each other
Two lost sheep in the wiles of the hills
Far from the other Jacks and Jills
We wandered away and went astray
But we ain’t fussin’ ‘cause we got us ’n
We’re two lost souls on the highway of life
There is no one with whom we would rather
So, ain’t it just great?
Ain’t it just grand?
We got each other
Mama said “No”, so we eloped
And, oh, we ain’t got a castle
For which we hoped
We got a lot
Because we got each other

Niemals wirklich wahr

In der Sonne liegen
Heimat spüren
Wo Musik erklingt
Durch Zeit und Raum

King Midas In Reverse
King Midas In Reverse
Composer(s): Graham Nash; Allan Clarke; Tony Hicks
Performer(s): The Hollies;
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; The Posies
If you could only see me
And know exactly who I am
You wouldn't want to be me
Oh I can assure you of that
I'm not the guy to run with
'Cos I'll throw you off the line
I'll break you and destroy you
Given time
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
It's plain to see it's hopeless
Going on that way we are
So even though I lose you
You'd be better of by far
He's not the one to hold your trust
Everything around him turns to dust
In his hand
Nothing he can do is right
He'd even like to sleep at night
But he can't
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
I wish someone would find me
And help me gain control
Before I lose my reason and my soul
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse

Two Little Orphans
Two Little Orphans
(aka Two Little Children)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Roy Acuff
and multiple other artists
Two little children, a girl and a boy
Stood by an old church door
The little girls feet were as brown as the curls
That hung upon the dress that she wore
The little boy's coat was all tattered and torn
And tears hung in his blue eyes
Why Don't you go home to your mother I said
And this was the maiden's reply
Mama's in Heaven, Angels took her away
She is gone to that land fair and bright
She said she would come for her darlings some day
Perhaps she will come tonight
We can't earn our bread, we're too little, she said
Jim's five and I'm only seven
We can't earn our living since Papa is dead
And our darling Mama's in heaven
Papa got drowned on the sea long ago
We waited all night by the shore
For he was a lifesaving captain you know
And he never came back anymore
Perhaps, there's no room up in Heaven, she said
For two little darlings to keep
She then placed her hand under Jims little head
She kissed him, and both fell asleep
The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for two orphans to dwell
In heaven with Mama that night

English & French Titles: I Never Will Marry - 1933/1939; Jamais Je Ne Me Marierai
Composer(s): W. Brandin
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Er ging von mir im Morgengrau'n
Zerbrach was uns zwei verband
Und mein Weg wird nun sehr einsam sein
Ich geb keinem mehr die Hand
Ich kann nicht vergessen
Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
Und wo gibt es einen
Der so ist wie er
Sein Zug fuhr fort nach Irgendwo
Ich weiß nicht einmal sein Ziel
Es gibt wohl keine Wiederkehr
Weil soviel in Scherben hier
Ich kann nicht vergessen
Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
Und wo gibt es einen
Der so ist wie er
Kein Tag sieht wie der andre aus
Und das wird auch bei mir so sein
Manch Mädchen schenkt sein Herz auf Zeit
Aber ich bleibe wohl allein
Ich kann nicht vergessen
Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
Und wo gibt es einen
Der so ist wie er
Ich kann nicht vergessen
Denn er fehlt mir so sehr
Und wo gibt es einen
Der so ist wie er

King Of Pain
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): The Police;
and various other artists
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
Tha's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
That's my soul up there
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my sould up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
That's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
Ther's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of pain
There's a red fox thorn by a huntsman's pack
That's my soul up there
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
That's my soul up there
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
I'll always be king of pain

Two Little Girls In Blue
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - Vincent Youmans
Performer(s): Madeline & Marion Fairbanks
(Dolly)
It seems as if this trip
Would take forever and a day
But where there is a will
You know, there has to be a way
(Polly)
I know a million reasons now
Why we should turn and run
But really, I'm so frightened
That I can't remember one
(Both)
With an Irish cook and a wild-man crew
And a mate who is Portuguese and six feet two
Ooh! Ooh! I wonder what they'd do
If they ever knew - if they ever knew -
We were two little girls in blue
Not one
But two little girls in blue
(Polly)
With you along, I know
I won't be very terrified
But dear, you know a trunk's
An awful place in which to hide
(Dolly)
Now be a Pollyana, Polly
And I'm sure you'll find
The trunk as comfy as the two
By four we left behind
(Both)
We can fool the cook and the wild-man crew
For we fooled our mother and our father too
Ooh! ooh! When we made our debut
And the old stork flew - and before they knew -
There were two litttle girls in blue
Not one
But two little girls in blue

Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Der Herbst packt seine Koffer jetzt, Helene
Der Winter hat sein buntes Kleid zerfetzt
Was du tätst? Schau nicht so entsetzt, Helene
ich halte dich schon warm
ich halte dich schon warm
Geh'n wir zum Träumen an die Seine, Helene
ein letztes grünes Fleckchen finden wir
wenn's doch zu kühl wird rück zu mir, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm
Dazu lege ich sofort für alle Fälle
gleich meinen Arm um dich
und frierst du auch dann
zieh ich dir auf der Stelle
noch meine Jacke an
Wenn dann vielleicht der Wind sich dreht, Helene
Und nun aus Norden noch viel kälter weht
Dräng dich an mich so nah es geht, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm
Zwingt die Kälte uns dann doch zu fliehen
Ich bring dich und mein Glück in Sicherheit
Mein kleines Zimmer ist nicht weit, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich schliess die Fenster und die Jalousien
Ich sperr die Tür von innen zweimal zu
Und mach ein Feuer an im Nu, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich werd mit dem Holz für dich bestimmt nicht geizen
Ist keins mehr da was soll's?
Dann werd ich komplett die Möbel noch verheizen
Nur eines nicht, das Bett
Frierst du dann trotz allem doch, Helene
Noch fester leg ich nur um dich den Arm
Und lieb dich zehnmal heisser noch, Helene
Ich halte dich schon warm
Ich halte dich schon warm
