Sunfighter


Sunfighter
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Paul Kantner



You know we found a place on the land
Where we can lay down and watch the ocean roll
And we walk in the sand my lady and me
And we watch and see the child grow

But the hand of man came runnin thru
Runnin thru you and me
Hurricane nighttime sympathy for you and for me

And there ain't no more room here, no more room here
No more room on this planet to grow

The rambler man he comes and he goes in our land
And gets you people on and we sing his song
With a little bit of San Francisco added on
Gonna get you people here all together, gonna roll
Roll on you - try to move your minds together
Gonna try to pull you thru

Sub carbon oscillation, sunshine blurring fascination
Pulsar craft, moving fast, gonna take me past the hand of man to you

The sword of the lord don't mean nothin to me if he won't get down
On the people makin' such a mess of the land and the sea all around me...

Got to learn to leave the planet be
No more room here to fuck around like we did before
Just maybe one more chance to leave it be

Sunfighter - gunfighter
Mount the earth and learn to ride her
Feel the land movin' under you

I can feel you all around me
I can feel you huntin, bowstring weary
Hear me clearly - I see you
And I like it here
I like it here

Sunfighter - gunfighter
Mount the earth and learn to ride her
Feel the land, nighttime hurricane - movin' under you

Zonder Vrienden Kan Ik Niet

Zonder Vrienden Kan Ik Niet
Performer(s): Boudewijn De Groot



Je kunt desnoods wel zonder geld
Al is dat voor je maag niet fijn
Nog erger als een vrouw je kwelt
Want dan doet ook je hart nog pijn
Ik weet het kan verschrikkelijk zijn

Liefst heb ik een vriend met wie ik alras
Langdurig zeuren kan hoe 't was
En ik heb troost in mijn verdriet
M'n makker, schenk me nog een glas
Want zonder vrienden kan ik niet

Raar is het leven toch, ik hou
Al niet zo veel van alcohol
Maar uitgerekend om een vrouw
Sla ik naar binnen tot ik vol
En snikkend van de bittere lol

Subiet in slaap val in een stoel
Daar vindt een vriend mij, ruimt mijn boel
Ik wankel, prevel vals een lied
Omdat ik me toch gelukkig voel
Want zonder vrienden kan ik niet

Bedrogen ben ik vaker wel
Ook heb ik meer een vrouw bemind
Uit ging het steeds, maar aan die hel
Denkt toch geen mens als het begint
Een man blijft toch altijd een kind

Wie droomt niet van het paradijs
Ineens wordt niemand oud en wijs
Je krijgt voor vreugde vaak verdriet
Niet over rozen gaat de reis
Maar zonder vrienden kan ik niet

Laat mij maar schuiven, want ik red
Er toch nog altijd wel iets van
Nu prince, verhoor dan dit gebed
Neem alles als het niet anders kan
Alleen mijn vrienden, laat die dan

Er blijft mij anders niets, o Heer
Rampzaliger kan toch niet meer
Terwijl u mij in tranen ziet
Zweer ik desnoods 'ik drink niet meer'
Maar zonder vrienden kan ik niet

Sundown


Sundown
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs

She's bin lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

I can picture ev'ry move that a man could make
Gettin' lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs

Sundown you better take care
If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

Zoo Station

Zoo Station
Composer(s): Bono; Adam Clayton;
The Edge; Larry Mullen Jr.
Performer(s): U2



I'm ready
I'm ready for the laughing gas
I'm ready
I'm ready for what's next
I'm ready to duck
I'm ready to dive
I'm ready to say
I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready
I'm ready for the push

The cool of the night
The warmth of the breeze
I'll be crawling 'round
On my hands and knees

Just down the line ... Zoo Station
Gotta make it on time ... Zoo Station

I'm ready
I'm ready for the gridlock
I'm ready...to take it to the street
I'm ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go of the steering wheel
I'm ready
Ready for the crush

(She's just down the line) ... Zoo Station
(Got to make it on time) ... Zoo Station

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, hey baby
It's alright, it's alright

(Alright, you can turn it up)

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass

I'm just down the line from your love ... (Zoo Station)
You know I'm under the sign ... (Zoo Station)
I've gotta make it on time
Make it on time ... (Zoo Station)
That's alright ... (Zoo Station)
Just two stops down the line ... (Zoo Station)
Just a stop down the line ...

Sunday's Not My Day


Sunday's Not My Day
((Adapted from: Je Hais Les Dimanches (by Juliette Gréco) - 1955))
((Dutch Version: Wat Haat Ik De Zondag (by Conny Vandenbos) - 1968))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Florence Véran - Robert E. Morrison
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Though the days of the week wear the same empty face
There's a day in the week I would like to replace
It's the Sunday, so smuggly pretending to be
Something more than a day that has nothing for me
I've reasons to say, Sunday's not my day

Harrassed by its crowds, how they pass and defile
An expressionless crowd with a time-wearied smile
Though I walk through its streets, my direction's unknown
Sunday's worthless to one who must spend it alone
It's always this way, Sunday's not my day

You must work this day Sunday, the one day I'm free
This is why Sunday seems so oppressive to me
If only you were near, you would open my eyes
I'd be ready to like all the things I despise

All the Sundays in Spring, light and blue there we were
All our cares taking wing, as we breath, as we dare
Lying there in the grass, watching children at play
Watching lovers who pass, like the wind on its way
The skies deep and blue, they would smile for you

We would dance through the streets, we would join this parade
We would do all the things, for which Sunday is made
Without trying to know what tomorrow will be
Having only one hope that together we'd see
Our Sunday again, Sunday back again

Of the people I see, in their Sunday disguise
There are those who believe they are hopeful and wise
Some are going to church, for appearances' sake
Some are willing to give half as much as they make
Some will sleep the whole day, having nowhere to go
Some will visit a grave, some will put on a show,
Well rehearsed in their part, they will pass review
Some will make Sunday love, to have something to do

Yet, I envy their joy
When their Sundays arrive, they frolic, they play
I'm less than alive, what more can I say
Sunday's not my day

Zoom (Fat Larry's Band)

Zoom
Composer(s): Len Barry; Bobby Eli
Performer(s):
Fat Larry’s Band; Murphy's Law



Zoom, just one look
and then my heart went boom

Suddenly, and we were on the moon
Flying high in a neon sky oh

Bang, just one touch and all the church bells rang
Heaven called and all the angels sang
Sunrise shine in a midnight sky oh

Zoom, you chased the day away I knew
The moon and stars came out to play and then
My whole wide world went

Zoom, moonbeams dancing in the afternoon
Shadows blowing as the roses bloom
Looking down on a wonderland oh

Smack, just one kiss and I was outta whack
All at once there was no turning back
Oh so far above the brightest star oh

Zoom, you chased the day away
I knew, the moon and stars came out to play

Zoom, you chased the day away I knew
The moon and stars came out to play and then
My whole wide world went zoom

I touched a rainbow as we went flyin’ by
Faster and faster we were higher than high
For once in my life time I was finally free
And you gave that to me

Zoom, you chased the day away
I knew, the moon and stars came out to play oh, oh
Zoom, you chased the day away I knew
The moon and stars came out to play oh, oh
Zoom, you chased the day away I knew
The moon and stars came out to play
Spoken: zoom

Sunday, Monday or Tuesday
Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
I want you near
Every day in the year

Oh, won't you tell me when
We will meet again
Sunday, Monday or always

If you're satisfied
I'll be at your side

My heart begins to pound and pound

And what am I to do
Can't I be with you
Sunday, Monday or always

Always and forever I must be with you
Beginning Sunday and Monday and then forever

Oh, won't you tell me when
We will meet again

Zoom (The Commodores)

Zoom
Composer(s):
Ronald LaPread; Lionel Richie
Performer(s): The Commodores; Big Bub;
Maysa; Lionel Richie



I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Oh I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream
Dream my dream
Zoom

I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind is fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Where everybody can be what they wanna be

I'd like the greet the sun each morning
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life
Well I've shared so many pains
And I've played so many games
But everyone finds the right way
Somehow
Somewhere
Someday
Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be

I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom someday would come
Someday would come
Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Everybody can be what they wanna be
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
You and me, baby
Walking free
Don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?

Sunday Will Never Be The Same


Sunday Will Never Be The Same
Composer(s): Terry Cashman - Gene Pistilli
Performer(s): Spanky & Our Gang
and multiple other artists



Ba-ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba-ba-ba-da

I remember Sunday morning, I would meet him at the park
We'd walk together hand in hand till it was almost dark

Now I wake up Sunday morning, walk across the lane to find
Nobody waiting for me, Sunday's just another day

Sunday will never be the same (Sunday will never be the same)
I lost my Sunday sun, he'll not be back again

Sunny afternoons that made me feel so warm inside
Have turned as cold and gray as ashes as I feel the embers die

No longer can I walk these paths, for they have changed
I must be off, the sun is gone and I think it's gonna rain

Sunday will never be the same (Sunday will never be the same)
I lost my Sunday sun, he'll not be back again

I remember children feeding flocks of pigeons
I remember sunshine and you were mine

Ba-ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba-ba-ba-da-aaahhh

Sunday will never be the same (Sunday will never be the same)
I lost my Sunday sun, he'll not be back again

Sunday will never be the same
Sunday will never be the same
Sunday will never be ...

Zorro

Performer(s): The Chordettes; Mellomen



Sound of hoof beats
Zorro, Zorro
Zorro, Zorro
Zorro, Zorro
Sound of blade going through the air
Sound of hoof beats again

Out of the night when the full moon is bright
Comes a horseman known as Zorro
He's already gave his mark of Z with his blade
A Z that stands for Zorro

Zorro, Zorro, Zorro
The fox of cunning and creed
Zorro, Zorro, Zorro
He makes the sign of the Z

Zorro, Zorro
Zorro, Zorro
Zorro, Zorro

He is alive let the wicked take fright
When they catch the sight of Zorro
He's a friend of the weak and the poor and the meek
This very unique Senor Zorro

Zorro, Zorro, Zorro
The fox of cunning and creed
Zorro, Zorro, Zorro
He makes the sign of the Z

Zorro, Zorro
Zorro, Zorro
Zorro, Zorro

Sunday Morning Coming Down


Sunday Morning Coming Down
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
First release by: Ray Stevens - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1971 - Søndag Morgen (by John Mogensen)
1979 - Zondagmiddag Lilian (by Louis Neefs)
1975 - Nedelní Ráno (by Pavel Bobek)



Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I'd smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken
And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way

On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down

In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singing
Then I headed down the street
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down

Want och diê vent wou aa alleen, da kind da was nen blok on oe been

Jeg stod op en søndag morgen
kigged´ ud og så en himmel trist og grå
fik mig vasket lidt en kam igennem håret
skægget lod jeg bare stå
Hvorfor pynte sig, en ensom mand
der blot skal ha´ en lang dag til at gå
og for øvrigt knækked´ snørrebåndet
det var det, der mangled´
Jeg fik nok
Jeg sprang ned a´ trappen, ud på gaden
blæsten kom og rusked´ mig i nakken
Jeg blev hurtigt kølet af, slog kraven op
og fandt den sidste mønt i frakken
På en kaffebar i nabolaget sad jeg lidt og lytted´ efter snakken
det´ svært at være ene, når man ønsker
man var medlem af en flok
Så´n en tidlig søndag morgen er der ingen brug for mig
Alle andre holder fridag, slapper af, kun ikke jeg
Når man lever helt alene uden no´en at holde af
må man nok ha´ lov at mene, søndag er den værste dag
I en park så jeg en far
som stod og leged´ med sin pige ved en gynge
Fra et åbent vindue hørtes barnegråd
en mor fik standset ved at synge
Det var mer´ end jeg ku´ ta´
det var som sten blev lagt på hjertet i en dynge
Jeg blev syg i sjælen
længtes efter kærlighed, et sted at gå i dok
Så´n en tidlig søndag morgen er der ingen brug for mig
Alle andre holder fridag, slapper af, kun ikke jeg
Når man lever helt alene uden no´en at holde af
må man nok ha´ lov at mene, søndag er den værste dag

You oughta be in pictures
You’re wonderful to see
You oughta be in pictures
Oh what a hit you would be!
Your voice would thrill a nation
Your face would be adored
You’d make a great sensation
with wealth and fame your reward
And if you should kiss the way you kiss
When we’re alone
You’d make ev’ry girl and man
A fan worshiping at your throne
You oughta shine as brightly
As Jupiter and Mars
You oughta be in pictures
My star of stars

The Children Of Bethlehem


The Children Of Bethlehem Composer(s): Tom Paxton Performer(s): John Denver



The children of Bethlehem One cold winter's night Were wakened by singing And a heavenly light With whispers and murmurs On pattering feet The children of Bethlehem Came into the street The people were sleeping All safely in bed The children heard singing In the sky overhead They heard, "Peace will be with you Whoever you are Oh, come to the stable Come, follow the Star!" And the children of Bethlehem That cold winter's night Came down to the stable They followed the light Now the roosters were crowing At the dawning of day The baby lay sleeping In the manger he lay The children of Bethlehem Came in two by two They came to the manger That the Star brought them to They came to the manger Where the sweet Baby lay The children of Bethlehem Showed us the way

You Ought To Be With Me


You Ought To Be With Me
Composer(s): Al Green;
Willie Mitchell; Al Jackson
Performer(s): Al Green; Al Jarreau



Sit right down and talk to me
about how you want to be
you ought to be with me
ya, you ought to be with me
Thinking about what people do
talking about how I love you
thinking there's nothing to what they say
you ought to be with me, anyway
They don't want to see us do
all of the dumb things we want to
you ought to be with me
hey, you ought to be with me
You don't have to waste my time
if you want to be a friend of mine
you can be denied and walk away
and turn your back for another day
You ought to be the kind of girl
that can brighten up this old world
and it's hard to see why you and me
can't be together happily
I'm trying to realize
you being with some other guy
I don't know the reason why
you ought to be with me until I die
(you ought to be with me until I die)
I don't want to waste my time
if you want to be a friend of mine
I want to hold you tight, love you right
put good feelin' in your night

Sunday Morning Christian


Sunday Morning Christian
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Harlan Howard



Mr. Jones, this car you sold me, isn't all that I desired
You swore it was young and healthy, now I find it's old and tired
But a deal's a deal you tell me and there's nothing to be done
Mr Jones, I'd like you better if you robbed me with a gun

You're a Sunday morning Christian, sir, singin' louder than the rest
Beg forgiveness at the altar, with your chin down on your chest
But tomorrow will be Monday, you'll revert back to your ways
Gougin' kickin' cheatin' shovin', with no thoughts of God or lovin'
Don't let me stand in your way
Surely God will forgive you next Sunday

Mrs. Smith, your fine attendance shows the Christian life you live
But I know your little secret, you expect God to forgive
You'll kiss your husband Monday mornin', see him safely on his way
Then get ready for your lover, it's a long time till Sunday

You're a Sunday morning Christian, ma'm, singin' louder than the rest
Beg forgiveness at the altar, with your chin down on your chest
But tomorrow will be Monday, you'll revert back to your ways
Gougin' kickin' cheatin' shovin', with no thoughts of God or lovin'
Don't let me stand in your way
Surely God will forgive you next Sunday

You Only Live Twice


You Only Live Twice
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; John Barry
Performer(s): Nancy Sinatra;
and various other artists



You Only Live Twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Till one dream appears and love is its name

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone

This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone

This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice
