Stuck On You (Elvis Presley)


Stuck On You ((French Version: Comme Un Fou (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1975)) Composer(s): Aaron Schroeder - J. Leslie McFarland First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists



You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake, shake, sugar but you'll never shake me

Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh
I'm gonna to stick like glue
Because I'm stuck on you

Yea, I'm gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear

Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh
I'm gonna to stick like glue
Because I'm stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch you and the kissing starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart

Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how our love is going to keep us tied

Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh
I'm gonna to stick like glue
Because I'm stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch you and the kissing starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart

Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how our love is going to keep us tied

Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh
I'm gonna to stick like glue
Because I'm stuck on you

I'm gonna to stick like glue, ooh, ooh
Because I'm stuck on you

You Are The Woman


You Are The Woman
Composer(s): Rick Roberts
Performer(s): Firefall; Josh Kelley



You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much the things you say to me
It's not the things you do
It's how I feel each time you're close to me
That keeps me close to you, woh oh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much your pretty face I see
It's not the clothes you wear
It's more that special way you look at me
That always keeps me there, woh oh woh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's hard to tell you all the love I'm feeling
That's just not my style
You've got a way to send my senses reeling
Every time you smile, woh oh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

Of my heart
Oh oh of my heart

Comme Un Fou


Comme Un Fou
(Adapted from: Stuck On You (by Elvis Presley) - 1960))
Composer(s): Aaron Schroeder - J. Leslie McFarland - Michel Mallory
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1975



Sur le trottoir d'en face
Je la vois passer
Elle mange une glace
Et elle n'est pas pressée
Oh oh oh! Elle me sourit... Oh oh oh!
Pour une fille comme ça
Moi, je suis comme un fou
Moulée dans un t-shirt
Et un vieux jean usé
Elle a des yeux noisette
Et ses cheveux sont dorés
Oh oh oh! Elle me sourit... Oh oh oh!
Pour une fille comme ça
Moi, je suis comme un fou
Elle a des hanches à faire rêver
Et son t-shirt ne peut rien cacher
Tout ce que j'ai, si elle veut je lui donne
Ouais, mais contre son numéro de téléphone
Oh oui, mais elle me fait un signe
Un geste de la main
C'est pour moi, elle m'appelle
Salut les copains
Oh oh oh! Elle me sourit... Oh oh oui!
Pour une fille comme ça, hum oui
Moi, je suis comme un fou
Elle a des hanches à faire rêver
Et son t-shirt ne peut rien cacher
Tout ce que j'ai, si elle veut je lui donne
Ouais, mais contre son numéro de téléphone
Oh oui, mais un taxi s'arrête
Elle monte et elle s'en va
Le signe de la main ce n'était pas pour moi
Oh oh oh! J'ai tout compris... Oh oh oui!
Alors je reste là
Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou
Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou
Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life


You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
((French Version: Le Soleil De Ma Vie (by Sacha Distel & Brigitte Bardot) - 1972))
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears
Who-o-o-o Who-o-o-o

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be heaven
How could so much love be inside of you

Stuck In The Middle With You


Stuck In The Middle With You
((Dutch Versions:
Gevangen Met U (by Kasper van Kooten) - 2005; Ik Zit Gevangen Met Jou (by Mama's Jasje) - 2007))
Composer(s): Gerry Rafferty - Joe Egan
First release by: Stealers Wheel - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Try to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cruel to go to sleep on the floor
Yeah I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

And you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Yeah I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

You Are The Only Song


You Are The Only Song
Performer(s): Harry Chapin



Oh, I've sung it all tonight
Almost ev'ry story that I know
And now when they turn out those spotlights
Ya' know, I'm never sure, where I'm s'posed to go

And I get so hoarse that I can't hit the high notes
It's just a whisper, way down low
But when... you sing from the inside
Ya' know ya' hope that something shows......

And that... is... why....
Yes, you are the only song, the only song I need
You're my laughter, and you're my lonely song
You're the harvest; yes you're the seed
And you're my first and my final song
For you own me indeed
Oh yes, oh yes
Yes, after all is said and done
You're the one song that I need

I have sung my songs to silence
To empty clubs and crowded bars
I've even sung my songs to standing rooms
And I'll sing 'em, I'll sing 'em, to the stars
And all the faces, they all fade together
The applause, it's gone so fast
And the story of every darkened stage
Is that this glory, this glory will not last

And that... is... why....
Yes after all is said and done
You're the one song that I need

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

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...

Why don't you dream anymore

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


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!
