Ik Zit Gevangen Met Jou


Ik Zit Gevangen Met Jou - 2007 ((aka Gevangen Met U (by Kasper van Kooten) - 2005))
((Adapted from: Stuck In The Middle With You (by Stealers Wheel) - 1972))
Composer(s): Gerry Rafferty - Joe Egan - Peter Van Laet
Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 2007



Ik weet niet wat het is maar ik zweef
het voelt zowat alsof ik herleef
men voeten komen weer van de grond
ik wist niet dat zoiets nog bestond

links van de hemel
rechts van de hel
middenin
zit ik gevangen met jou

ik weet niet wat het is maar ik beef
ik twijfel of ik nog om je geef
als je vraagt of ik wil leven met jou
dan zweet ik en dan krijg ik het koud

want links zie ik de hemel
recht zie ik de hel
middenin
zit ik gevangen met jou

ja waar ben ik aan begonnen
waar ben ik toch al weer beland
ik had beter iets verzonnen
toen je in mijn ogen keek en zei
please
please

ik weet niet waar ik heen moet gaan
ik probeer het allemaal te verstaan
is het groener aan de andere kant
spreekt mijn hart
of spreekt alweer mijn verstand

links van de hemel
rechts van de hel
middenin
zit ik gevangen met jou

ja waar ben ik aan begonnen
waar ben ik toch al weer beland
ik had beter iets verzonnen
toen je in mijn ogen keek en zei
please
please

ik weet niet wat het is maar ik zweef
toch twijfel ik of ik om je geef
sla ik af of ga ik even rechtdoor
komt het goed of ga ik hier onderdoor

dicht bij de hemel
dichter bij de hel
middenin
zit ik gevangen met jou

ik zit gevangen met jou
ik zit gevangen met jou
ik zit gevangen met jou

You Are The New Day


You Are The New Day
Composer(s): John David
Performer(s): Airwaves; King's Singers;
The Searchers; Seattle Men's Chorus



I will love you more than me
and more than yesterday
If you can but prove to me
you are the new day

Send the sun in time for dawn
Let the birds all hail the morning
Love of life will urge me say
you are the new day

When I lay me down at night
knowing we must pay
Thoughts occur that this night might
stay yesterday

Thoughts that we as humans small
could slow worlds and end it all
lie around me where they fall
before the new day

One more day when time is running out
for everyone
Like a breath I knew would come I reach for
the new day

Hope is my philosophy
Just needs days in which to be
Love of life means hope for me
borne on a new day

You are the new day

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Sing it over
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
See the little baby
Wrapped in a manger
On Christmas morning
Singing in a temple
Talking with the elders
Tomorrow there's wisdom

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Hallelujah
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Down at the Jordan
John was baptizing
And saving all sinners
See him at the seaside
Talking with the fishermen
And made them disciples

Keep on pushin' now
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Hallelujah now
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

You Are The Ideal Of My Dreams


You Are The Ideal Of My Dreams
Composer(s): Herbert Ingraham
Performer(s): Oliver Hardy;
and various other artists



At last I meet you face to face
The ideal of my dreams
I've waited to behold you, dear
For years and years 'twould seems

And now you've come to live, to breathe
From out the mystic night
My burning heart, my very soul
Cries out in all it's might

I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the ideal of my dreams
I always knew, t'would be someone like you
I've loved you forever it seems

For years in my mind's fondest fancy
A picture of your face I drew
And I knew you somehow
When I met you just know
You are the ideal of my dreams

Somehow I feel you can't be real
You'll vanish like the mist
Before I hold you in my arms
Before your lips I've kissed

But no, you speak, you really live
Warm blood through your veins flows
Come nestle to my throbbing breast
I want the world to know

I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the ideal of my dreams
I always knew, t'would be someone like you
I've loved you forever it seems

For years in my mind's fondest fancy
A picture of your face I drew
And I knew you somehow
When I met you just know
You are the ideal of my dreams

Amen (Lucio Dalla)


Amen
Composer(s): Lucio Dalla - Mauro Malavasi
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla



Non io non so perché
Ma c'è una brutta bestia dentro di me
Che mi butta giù, ogni giorno vado sempre più giù
Io lo so cos'è quel pezzo di cervello che
che ancora lì, lì con me
Nella testa e non si muove più
Non io non voglio, voglio darlo via
Voglio in cambio una TV
La metto in fondo al letto di casa mia
Così poi non ci penso più

Non io non so perché
Ma c'è un'altra brutta bestia dentro di me
Che mi strozza se...se mi vieni ancora in mente te
Io lo so cos'è quel pezzo del mio cuore che
È ancora lì...lì con me
E ogni tanto batte senza un perché
No, io non voglio, voglio darlo via
Voglio in cambio un'altra TV
La metto a fianco a me nel letto di casa mia
Gli dico "baby mi vuoi bene anche tu"
Così io sento che c'è rimasto poco dentro di me
Una palla e via, l'altra ho perso la scommessa
E non so più dov'è

Ma adesso non parlare, non parlare
Devi solo stare zitto, devi stare ad ascoltare
E quindi non pensare, non pensare
Dove sei Ruby....Ruby
Ma adesso non parlare, non parlare
Devi solo stare zitto, devi stare ad ascoltare
E quindi non pensare, non pensare
Dove sei Ruby....Ruby

Sono diventato una TV
Adesso son perfetto non mi muovo più
Mi accendo e poi mi spengo non reagisco più
Hey ti stai spegnendo anche tu

Io lo so cos'è
E stan cercando di fregare anche te
Non fidarti mai
Siam seduti sopra un cesso prima o poi cadrai
Io lo so cos'è
E stan cercando di fregare anche te
Non fidarti mai
Siam seduti sopra un cesso prima o poi cadrai...

You Are The Girl
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



Why don't you dream anymore
What's in the way
How come you point to the door
And ask me to stay-ay
Why don't you flash that smile
Like you used to do
Why don't you stay for awhile
Uh well it's up to you, cause

You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel all right
You are the girl
Well you give me a twirl
You are the girl
In my dreams

Why don't ya talk anymore
What did I say
How is it what I came for
Is floating away
Why don't you flash that smile
Like you used to do
Why don't you stay for awhile
Uh well it's up to you, cause

You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel all right
You are the girl
You are the girl
Well you give me a twirl
You are the girl

You Are The Best Part Of Me


You Are The Best Part Of Me
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



My baby's cryin' on a Saturday night
She thinks that nothin's ever
Gonna go right
But she'll make it
And we'll make it
There's no way that
I'm leavin' the best part of me

There was a time
I wanted out on my own
I even thought I'd be okay alone
But oh, baby
I know, baby
That I'd be walkin'
Away from the best part of me

You are the best part of me
The best that I am or ever will be
You baby
You're the part that allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always known
You're the best part of me

Love isn't easy
And it's not always kind
Sometimes you only have to
Make up your mind
That you can make it
And you can make it
I know I made it
By keeping the best part of me

You are the best part of me
The best that I am or ever will be
You baby
You're the part that allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always known
You're the best part of me

My baby's cryin'
'Cause she can't run away
And if she could
It wouldn't last for a day
And she knows it and I know it
It just shows that
She is the best part of me

It's true baby
You're the best part of me
The best that I am or ever will be
You baby
You're the part that allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always known
You're the best part of me
Yes, you are the best part of me

Stuck In The August Rain



Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Brings jasmine tea on a painted tray
and bends to kiss my frown away
But I'm still still stuck in the August rain
stuck out in the cloudburst once again
The cover's on, the coast is clear
We're all battened down, only us here
But I'm still still stuck in the August rain
stuck out in the cloudburst once again
She walks between the lines
and she can read my signs

Stuck out in the August rain
Out in the cloudburst once again

Single-minded in my gloom
I appear to revel in this darkened room
But I'm still still stuck in the August rain
stuck out in the cloudburst once again
She walks between the lines
and she can read my signs

Stuck out in the August rain
Out in the cloudburst once again

Stuck In A Moment


Stuck In A Moment
Performer(s): U2



I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

You Are Not Alone


You Are Not Alone
Composer(s): Robert Kelly
Performer(s): Michael Jackson; Ovid Alexis;
Robert Avellanet; Ron Brown; Pam Hall;
Rupert Parker; Diana Ross; Spectrum; Kim Waters



Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone...

All You Need Is Elves


All You Need Is Elves
Composer(s): Dennis Amero - Joe Bryant - Spike O'Neill - Bob Rivers)
Performer(s): Bob Rivers & Twisted Radio



Elves, elves, elves
Elves, elves, elves
Elves, elves, elves

Santa doesn't shop at Toys "R" Us
Doesn't have to fight the Christmas rush
He's never out of stock of even the hardest toys and games
It's easy

Nothing in his sack he really made
No one gets forgotten Christmas day
So if you wanna know how he gets it done in the knick of time
It's easy

All you need is elves
That's us!
All you need is elves
The little people
All you need is elves, Love
Elves are all you need

Toys "R" Elves
All toys are made by elves
Elves, elves, elves
There's nothing we can't make.
Elves, elves, elves
Do you have any idea how hard it is to make a 64-bit video system out
of wood?

Ho, ho, let me tell you, it ain't easy

No kidding!

Tell me about it!

All you need is elves
All you need is elves
We're non-union labor
All you need is elves, Love
Elves are all you need

Nothing you can know not much is known
'Cause no one's ever caught one in his home
They're never really seen but that doesn't mean that they're make
believe
They're teensy
Hey! Watch where you're stepping, you big freak!

All you need is elves
All you need is elves
We're too short for Space Mountain
All you need is elves, Love
Elves are all you need
Elves are all you need
Elves are all you need
Elves are all you need
Elves are all you need…

He loves you, ho, ho, ho
He loves you, ho....

You Are Never Far Away From Me
Composer(s): Allan Roberts; Robert Allen
Performer(s): Perry Como; Ray Charles Singers;
Ray Ellis; Carolyn Leonhart



You are never far away from me
When we part I hold your memory!
You linger in my dreams
When day has flown
And through the lonely night
I'm not alone!

When two sweethearts care, as you and I
There's no sadness in the word, good-bye!
Because you're always in my heart my love
Wherever I may be
You are never far away from me!

You Are My World
Composer(s): Paul Vance; Bobby London
Performer(s): Perry Como



If I told you, how I feel inside
Would you understand the love I'm feelin'
Would you run away and hide?

Love's not a word I've often spoken
You make my restless heart stand still!

You're every dream of love come true,
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!

(I will ...) I will ... (love you ...) love you ...

An' should you ever ask how much I love you
I'd say I couldn't love you more!

Here is my heart for you to hold
You're every dream of love come true
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!

Cowpuncher's Cantata


Cowpuncher’s Cantata
Composer(s): Max Bygraves
Performer(s): Max Bygraves



I travelled across to America
And when I arrived in America
They said, “Son, you know, you can’t go wrong
If you finish your show with a cowboy song”
So I practiced all day to get the song right
And I dreamed of those songs all through the night

That night I heard the wild goose cry
He’d got mixed up with the riders in the sky
Tried to sleep, but it was in vain
Have you ever tried sleeping on a mule train

Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiioooooooowwwww!

My heart goes where the mule train goes
And I must go where the mule train goes
Brother goose, mother goose, don’t you fear
‘Cos I’ve arrived, and to prove it I’m ‘ere

Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooowwwww!
Aha, Yma Sumac?

The riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
If you’re looking for the wild goose, he’s on the mule train
So cowboy mend your ways today, forget your life of sin
And you will be in time to meet the shrimp boats coming in

Oyoyoyoy, giddup there, go on old paint there, go on

My heart goes where the shrimp boats go
And I must go where the shrimp boats go
I’m gonna ride that dusty trail
‘Cos they’ve locked up my lover in Allentown jail

You know this kinda reminds me of the first time I blew into Tombstone city
Yessir, that night I slept on the prairie and all night long those prairie dogs
kept howlin’. I couldn’t understand why they kept howlin’, then I found out
Ain’t no trees on the prairie, jest cactus.

If ever the devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you, Sonny Boy

You Are My Sunshine
Composer(s): Charles Mitchell; Jimmy Davis
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
and no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
you have shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You Are My Miracle
Composer(s): Roger Whittaker
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker



You are my nights
You are my days
You are my miracle
In so many ways

You give me hope
You carry on
You are my miracle
For you make me strong

The wonder of the love
To feel and to share
Does ev'ry lover feel as I do?

How happy when we meet
How cheerful when we part
To feel the joy and pain as I do

You are my nights
You are my days
You are my miracle
In so many ways

You give me hope
You carry on
You are my miracle
For you make me strong

If I could have a wish
I'd wish for everyone
I'd wish that all could feel as I do

I'd give to every heart
The miracle of love
To know the joy of life as I do

You are my nights
You are my days
You are my miracle
In so many ways

You give me hope
You carry on
You are my miracle
For you make me strong

You are my nights
You are my days
You are my miracle
In so many ways

You give me hope
You carry on
You are my miracle
For you make me strong
