Look At The Wood
Look At The Wood
Composer(s): Grace Slick - Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner
Look at the wood and the way he carves it
Must have taken him years
I asked him the price and he said it was free
And I couldn't believe my ears
Tell me old man how long have you lived
To have such amazing talent
I'm twenty years short of a century
And the best years are in the balance
As a baby his mother had fed him frogs
And a wide assortment of lizards
It made him tough and wise and strange
And gave him the mind of a wizard
He had a new woman every five years
Faithful to each in her turn
They gave him children and time to smile
And he showed them all the love they could learn
The man had love to burn
Now he's lived his life and he'll live it again
Thru one more gentle soul
You'll know him by his smile and his fork held high
He'll be dining on toads and moles
Look at the wood and the way he carves it
Look at the sun, the golden harvest
Must have taken him years

That Heart Belongs To Me
That Heart Belongs To Me
Composer(s): Webb Pierce
Performer(s): Webb Pierce - 1952
and multiple other artists
There are so many flirty guys with flirty flirty ways
And I'm so afraid that they will steal your heart some day
But don't don't let 'em darlin', 'cause you belong to me
Oh, don't ever let them make you think your heart is fancy free
Don't, don't let 'em darlin', 'cause you belong to me
They'll tell you that I trifle and that you should do the same
They'll tell you that they need your love, so why not make the change
But don't don't do it darlin', that heart belongs to me
Oh, please don't let them blind you, I still love you can't you see
Don't, don't let 'em darlin', that heart belongs to me
They'll offer you a mansion, ask you when you'll be their queen
So they can give you riches, make your life a happy dream
But don't don't let 'em darlin', that dream belongs to me
Oh, sure they'll try to buy your love with riches such as these
But don't don't let 'em darlin', that heart belongs to me

Look At That, Look At That
Look At That, Look At That
Composer(s): Kim Wilson - Jimmie Vaughan - Fran Christina - Preston Hubbard
Performer(s): The Fabulous Thunderbirds
Went to a party on Saturday night
Lookin' real cool and dressed just right
Saved my money every week
Just could not spend it on those fine chicks
(Got) Gotta my car and (walked) in the door
You know (just) what I was lookin' for
Look at that blonde in the redskin tights
Don't go with her she's the one that bites
A fine, fine thing in a short short skirt
She ain't attached and she likes to flirt
A whole lotta woman is where it's at
Hey now boys will you just look at that
I don't know which way to turn
Every way I look my eyeballs burn
Short gals, tall gals skinny and fat
Look at that, look at that, look at that, look at that
See them twins in fishnet hose
I'll take either one or both of those
Sally over there still long and lean
She's got the key to my lovin' machine
All these girls are lookin' just right
At a hip-shakin' party on a Saturday night

Waterman
Waterman
Composer(s): Pieter Goemans
First performance by: The Hearts Of Soul - 1970
Waterman, ben jij een waterman?
Dan past jou sterrenbeeld bij mij
Intuïtief, heb ik je nu al lief
't Is net of jij, eenvoudig hoort bij mij
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Sterrenbeeld, dat niet met harten speelt
Maar mensen helpen wil, altijd
Jij kent gewoon, geen ruwe heerserstoon
Jij zoekt altijd, naar warme menselijkheid
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Die altijd fair bent
Altijd trouw en solidair bent
Maar ook vaak zo goedgelovig
En voor slechtheid ietwat dovig
Soms zo ernstig, haast verlegen
maar oneindig toegenegen
Waterman

Look At That Girl
Look At That Girl
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Frankie Vaughan; Guy Mitchell
Look at the girl, she's like a dream come true
Oh look at that girl, can blue eyes be so blue
Look at the way she walks, listen when she talks
With each word my heart just skips
Oh if I could kiss those lips
Mmmm
Look at that girl, you see what I see
Look at that girl, she's walking straight to me
That's right, last night I held her tight
It happens all the time
I look at that girl, and I can't believe she's mine
Oho, I'm in a whirl whenever that girl appears
Look at that smile, look at that style,
I would go most any place
Just to see that lovely face
Yes my sweetie's come back to me
What can I say to show you the way I feel
When she's with me you're sure to see
A twinkle in my eye
Just look at that girl and you'll know the reason why
Look at that girl, you see what I see
Hey! Look at that girl, she's walking straight to me
That's right, last night I held her tight
It happens all the time
Ain't she a vision of satin and lace
I'm seeing angels all over the place
I look at that girl, and I can't believe she's mine

Kuin Silloin Ennen
Kuin Silloin Ennen
First performance by: Jarkko & Laura - 1969
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki yhtä hyvin taas
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki hyvin taas
Taas tunnen uudestaan kuin silloin ennen
Kuin eilispäivää ollutkaan ei ois
Nyt luokses tulla saan kuin silloin ennen
Ja tiedän, etten lähde koskaan pois
Silmät loistaa sun - vain sen, en enempää mä nää
Sydän toistaa mun, sen minkä livertää
Tuo sinirinta satakieli
Kaikki taas on niin kuin silloin ennen
Ja toivoa en muuta enää vois
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki yhtä hyvin taas
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki hyvin taas
Kaikki taas on niin kuin silloin ennen
Ja toivoa en muuta enää vois
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki yhtä hyvin taas
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki hyvin taas

Look At Me Now
Look At Me Now
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
Someone is waithing lurking in the trees
The spirit of her is walking back to me
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
The King of the castle brought her to her knees
Gave the Salvation Army girl a squeeze
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Now she's a sallow face
Scattering her lace - on dewy ground
Ah, I keep searching my head
Now it's spinning around
Lifting her head her countenance redeemed
Re-acted the murder by the silver stream
Ah look at me now displaying emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now so cold and yet so brave
Weave me some wings to take me to her grave
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now

Seven Horses In The Sky
Seven Horses In The Sky
(Dutch Version: 7 Paarden Op De Vlucht - 2003)
Composer(s): Fred Beekmans; Bob Baelemans; Hugo Hubert
Performer(s): The Pebbles - 1968
Got seven horses racing in the sky, yeah
Wich is way too high
Smell of ozone in the air
Jockey, jockey, why ain't you up there?
Hear the clatter of their hoofs
Exploding all around
Hidden in a ditch, I really do admire their fidget
Please don't make them look at me
Got purple horses running in a green pouring sky
Try the heat of their breath, forget the feeling being trampled down
I'll bet you ten to one, you're just too scared to have a try
Search the open field, take a poker in your hand
You'll see they're such a gastronomes!
Seven horses in the sky
Seven horses passing by
Seven horses won't get tired
See how they running
See how they running hasty
See how they running
See how they running way up high
They don't need no feed
The only feed they need
Is my skin to heat
Pa - pa - pa - pa .......
I've got to hear them all around

I'm tryin' hard to make you see
That it won't do, my bein' free

It's just me, oh I'm all set
Please remember, don't forget what I say
I really love you and I want you to know
I'm thinkin' of you, girl, everywhere I go
Look at me, girl
Please don't turn away when I say
That I long to see the day
When our clouds will pass away
And you'll be mine, again I'll pray
I really love you and I want you to know
I'm thinkin' of you, girl, everywhere I go
Look at me, girl
Please don't turn away when I say
That I long to see the day
When our clouds will pass away
And you'll be mine, again I'll pray
Look at me girl ...

7 Paarden Op De Vlucht
7 Paarden Op De Vlucht
(Adapted from: Seven Horses In The Sky - 1968)
Composer(s): Fred Beekmans; Bob Baelemans; Hugo Hubert; Dirk Blanchart
Performer(s): De Flandriens - 2003
Arizona is het kookpunt nabij
in de middagzon
elk gebaar is te veel in deze hitte hitte
en daarom
verdwijn ik in de schaduw
aan de rand van de woestijn
ik rook een sigaret
denk aan wat ik liefst zou willen
gebeden worden soms verhoord
een stofwolk in de verte komt
langzaam aan mijn richting uit
'k hou me stil, maak me klein
neem ene verrekijker en kijk uit
ze zijn met (zijn) zeven
en de grootste kijkt me aan
het parelt op zijn flanken
en het schuimbekt rond zijn lippen
wij zijn van hetzelfde soort
7 paarden op de vlucht
7 paarden onbeducht
7 paarden wild en vrij
zie ze daar lopen zie ze daar lopen rennen
zie ze daar lopen zie ze daar lopen rennen
ik wou dat ik zo' mooi
zonder zwaartekracht
door de luchten zwevend
paard kon zijn
ik wou dat ik er (zo) een was
7 paarden op de vlucht
7 paarden op de vlucht

Look at me
This at least you owe me
Just a glance to show me
That you really care

Waiting to adore you

One look will do
That's all it took
To make me fall in love with you
So turn around
I'll be looking for you
Waiting to adore you
Baby, look at me

Seven Days To A Holiday
Seven Days To A Holiday
Composer(s): Cass; Myers
Performer(s): Cliff Richard & The Shadows
I’ve got it! (Got what?)
Got this bus, London Transport said, "OK"
(OK? OK to what?)
OK to use this bus for transport on our holiday
They’re with it (With what?)
With the plan that I have landed them today
(What plan?) (That’s right, what plan?)
If we can do it once, they’ll back us all the way
7 Days to a holiday and there’s such a lot to do
Come on fellas, it’s up to you
we’re in an awful stew
get us out of this spot
Are you with us, or not?
6 Days to a holiday, and this bus must look like new
Shiny bright as a birthday gift
Give it a real face-lift
and its body the sheen, of a top beauty queen
5 More days, just 5 more days
to fix up dozens of things
Let’s spring-clean it, from front to rear
(Yes, I've cleaned all the springs!)
4 Days to a holiday and we know before we’re through
our bus will be safer than any bank
tough as an army tank
We will check everywhere, though it’s hard to get there
3 Days to a holiday and those sunny skies of blue
By the time that it leaves our shed
our bus will be bright red
and we know that we will...
(...paint Pa-ree redder still!
Voilà!)
2 Days to a holiday, all of the inside to do
so this old London bus can pass, as a hotel first class
We’ll make everything fit
Including...(Ah, yes, that’s it)
1 More day, just one more day
so we must not waste an hour
Come on let’s get the plumbing in
(Cor, blimey...what a shower!
Off we go on our holiday, and it’s you we have to thank...
"Fellas, I cannot thank you enough for helping us with our bus"

Back to the hills of Caroline
I want to see that blue-eyed girl, she's the sweetest in the world
And the cabin in the hills of Caroline
And when it's late at night, and the moon is shinin bright
And the whipoorwill is callin from the hill
Then I'll tell her of my love, beneath the stars above
How I love her and I know I always will
