Jij En Ik (Miek & Roel)
Jij En Ik
Composer(s): Niki Bovendaerde - Roel Van Bambost
Performer(s): Miek & Roel
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel woorden
Maar allen die ons hoorden, voelden zich beroofd
Van hun geloof, hun ideaal
Hun levensdoel, hun zegepraal
Zij schudden met het hoofd
Zij zeggen 'wat een kwaaie tong'
Zij zeggen 'ze zijn veel te jong'
Zij zeggen 'dat beloofd'
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel liefde
Maar velen die het griefden, hoe liefdeloos we zijn
Voor moeders met hun wijde schoot
Voor God en voor de kerkdespoot
Voor mannen in de mijn
Voor kinderen in 't pensionaat
De blinde man en de soldaat
Voor vogels op het plein
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel pretjes
Met vetjes en met metjes van donker in het bed
Vertellen we die wel eens voort
Dan zegt men dat het echt niet hoort
Tenzij in 't cabaret
Dat wordt voor ons een goeie zaak
Je steekt met alles maar de draak
En krijgt nog een cachet
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel liedjes
En ieder voelt zich nietjes die zo niet zingen kan
Wij zingen van een fijne lach
Een klein verdriet, een mooie dag
Of van de zwarte man
Wij zingen voor de ganse straat
De buur die op de muren slaat
Daar zingen wij niet van
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel dromen
Maar als de mensen komen vervelen zij zich ziek
Wij lachen als het echt niet past
Wij bokken niet, dat is een last
Wij zijn antipathiek
Wij hebben ons in droom gehuld
Men zegt 'het is Roel z'n schuld'
Maar 't is de schuld van Miek
Wij hebben ons een droom gehuld
Men zegt 'het is Roel z'n schuld'
Maar 't is de schuld van Miek

Well, all right so I'm being foolish
Well, all right let people know

Well, all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right
Well, all right, so I'm going steady
It's all right when people say

For the love that comes their way
Well, all right, well all right

Well, all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well, all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right

I took my loved one out to dinner
So we could get a bite to eat
And though we both had been much thinner
She looked so beautiful I could eat her

just like to librals in the sun

and how the hell we could get thing done
Well Well Well
Oh Well
I took my loved one to a big field
So we could watch the english sky
Were both feeling guilty
And neither one of us knew just why
Well Well Well
Oh Well

Across The Universe
Across The Universe
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Words are flowing out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of earth
are ringing through my opened ears
inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

We'll Sing In The Sunshine
We'll Sing In The Sunshine
Composer(s): Gale Garnett
Performer(s): Trini Lopez
We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way
I will never love you
The cost of love's too dear
But though I'll never love you
I'll stay with you one year
And we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way
I'll sing to you each morning
I'll kiss you every night
But darling, don't cling to me
I'll soon be out of sight
But we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way
My daddy he once told me
'Hey, don't you love you any man'
'Just take what they may give you'
'And give but what you can'
'And you can sing in the sunshine'
'You'll laugh every day'
'You'll sing in the sunshine'
'Then be on your way'
And when our year has ended
And I have gone away
You'll often speak about me
And this is what you'll say
'We sang in the sunshine
'You know, we laughed every day'
'We sang in the sunshine'
'Then she went away'

Across The Sea
Across The Sea
Composer(s): Ernest Kaai - Ray Kinney - John Noble
Performer(s): Ray Kinney
and multiple other artists
Listen to the song the birds are singing
Of the southern isles across the sea
Island gems within a coral setting
Islands of the sunny southern sea
Bright the sky above with golden sunshine
Flooding all the lands with warmth and light
See the palm trees swaying to the ocean
Whispering songs of love by day and night
Hui:
Across the sea and isle is calling me
Calling to the wanderer to retrun
Bidding me come back to fair Hawai`i
To these sunny isles across the sea
See the surf comes rolling ever onwards
Meets the land and melts in creamy foam
Breaks upon the shore and scatters quickly
Like a million pearls let loose to roam
Watch the spray which melts in liquid sunshine
Tossed up from the bosom of the deep
High above in varied colors forming
Like the mermaids rising from their sleep

We'll Rant And We'll Roar (Like True Newfoundlanders)
We'll Rant And We'll Roar
(Like True Newfoundlanders)
(aka "Spanish Ladies" or "Farewell And Adieu")
Composer(s): Le Mesurrier
My name it is Robert, they call me Bob Pittman
I sail in the Ino with skipper Tom Brown
I'm bound to have Dolly or Biddy or Molly
As soon as I'm able to plank the cash down
Chorus:
We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true Newfoundlanders
We’ll rant and we’ll roar on deck and below
Until we see bottom inside of two sunkers
Then straight through the channel to Toslow we’ll go
I’m the son of a seacook and a cook in a trader
I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main boom
I can handle a jigger and I cuts a fine figure
Whenever I gets in a boat’s standing room
If the voyage is good then this fall I will do it
I want two pound ten for a ring and a priest
A couple of dollars for clean shirts and collars
And a handful of coppers to make up a feast
I went to a dance one night in Fox Harbour
There were plenty of girls as nice as you’d wish
There was one pretty maiden a-chawing on frankgum
Just like a young kitten a-knawing fresh fish
There’s plump little Polly, her name is Goldsworthy
There’s John Coady’s Kitty and Mary Tibbo
There’s Clara from Brule and young Martha Foley
But the nicest of all is my girl from Toslow
Farewell and adieu to ye fair ones of Valen
Farewell and adieu to ye ones in the cove
Now let ye be jolly, don't be melancholy
For I can’t marry all or in the chokey I’d be
Farewell and adieu to you girls of Fox Harbour
Oderin and Presque, Crabbes Hole and Brule
I’m bound to the westward to the wall with the hole in
For I can’t marry all or in the chokey I’d be
Farewell and adieu to ye girls of St. Kyran's
Of Paradise and Presque, big and little Bona
I'm bound unto Toslow to marry sweet Biddy
And if I don't do so, I'm afraid of her da
I've bought me a house from Katherine Davis
A twenty-pound bed from Jimmy McGraw
I'll get me a settle, a pot and a kettle
And then I'll be ready for Biddy - hurrah!

Across The Great Divide
Across The Great Divide
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
Performer(s): The Band
Standin' by your window in pain
A pistol in your hand
And I beg you, dear Molly, girl
Try and understand your man the best you can
Across The Great Divide
Just grab your hat, and take that ride
Get yourself a bride
And bring your children down to the river side
I had a goal in my younger days
I nearly wrote my will
But I changed my mind for the better
I'm at the still, had my fill and I'm fit to kill
Pinball machine, and a queen
I nearly took a bust
Tried to keep my hands to myself
Ya say it's a must, but who can ya trust?
Harvest moon shinin' down from the sky
A weary sign for all
I'm gonna leave this one horse town
Had t' stall till the fall, now I'm gonna crawl!
Now Molly dear, don't ya shed a tear
Your time will surely come
you'll feed your man chicken ev'ry Sunday
Now tell me, hon, what-cha done with the gun
Across The Great Divide
Just grab your hat, and take that ride
Get yourself a bride
And bring your children down to the river side

Farewell And Adieu
Farewell And Adieu
(aka "Spanish Ladies"
or "We'll Rant And We'll Roar (Like True Newfoundlanders)")
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Lesley Nelson-Burns
Farewell and adieu to you fine Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu all you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail for old England
And perhaps we shall never more see you again
Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll range and we'll roam over all the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues
Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'-west, my boys
Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear
Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, my boys
And straight up the Channel of old England did steer
Chorus
So the first land we made it is called the Deadman
Next Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and the Wight
We sailed hy Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness
And then bore away for the South Foreland light
Chorus
Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor
All on the Downs that night for to meet
Then stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters
Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets
Chorus
Now let every man drink up his full bottle
Let every man drink up his full bowl
For we will be jolly and drown melancholy
With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul
Chorus

Across The Borderline
Across The Borderline
Composer(s): Jim Dickinson - John Hiatt - Ry Cooder
First release by: Ry Cooder - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists
There's a land where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
When it's time to take your turn
Here's a lesson that you must learn
You can lose more than you'll ever find
When you reach the broken promise land
Every dream slips through your hand
You'll know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you paid the price to come to far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal the secret no one can define
The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Who's the next to cross the borderline
Hope remains when pride is gone
And it keeps you moving on
Calling you across the borderline
And you're still just across the borderline

We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again
We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again
Composer(s): Jeffrey Comanor
Performer(s): England Dan & John Ford Coley;
Deardorff & Joseph; Kerri Sherwood
Turn on the radio
We'll play it way down low
There's a tear in your eye
That's reflecting the fire's glow
and I wish the night would never end
The sun ain't gonna be my friend
Lying here waiting and wishing I knew when
We'll never have to say goodbye again
We'll never have to say goodbye again
You must leave I know you will
I won't let you go until you show me
some secret for making this time stand still
And somewhere, sometime from now
Together again somehow
All of the waiting will seem like a moment and then
We'll never have to say goodbye again
We'll never have to say goodbye again
The whole night afraid to see the light
And the whole day cryin
Wishin I knew when
We'll never have to say goodbye again
We'll never have to say goodbye again
And I wish the night would never end
The sun ain't gonna be my friend
We'll never have to say goodbye again
We'll never have to say goodbye again

Across The Board
Across The Board
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner
Somebody aimed you when you were young
But nobody ever fired
Now you just sit there inside the gun
Bullet you're getting old and tired
If you want out - get out and get it all
I mean a fair trial is no trial at all
You're not guilty you can't even move without
A human hand
You can't cock yourself woman
You need a man
All the way you need him
All the way
All the way across the floor
Across the board
The man's only got one finger
He doesn't need anymore
He makes his way one prong down
All the way
All the way
All the way across the floor
Seven inches of pleasure
Seven inches going home
Somebody must have measured
All the way down the old bone
All the way
All the way
All the way
Down the old bone

We'll Meet Again
Composer(s): Albert Ross Parker; Hughie Charles
Performer(s): Vera Lynn;
and various other artists
We'll meet again
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say hello to the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singing this song
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day
So will you please say hello to the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singing this song
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

Across The Alley From The Alamo
Across The Alley From The Alamo
Composer(s): Joe Greene
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passin' by
The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
On the people passin' by
One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passing by
Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough
For the people passing by
They thought that they would make some easy bucks
By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux
A pair of very conscientious clucks
To the people passin' by
Then they took this cheap vacation, their shoes were polished bright
No, they never heard the whistle, Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the starlight beams its tender glow
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
For the people passin' by
One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin'
Toot! Toot!, they never came back
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passin' by
Across the alley from the Alamo

We'll Make Hay While The Sun Shines
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
Billy Merrin; Nick Langdon
Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains
Take me where the song birds
Thrill you with sweet refrains
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains
From the hustle and the bustle of the city
We'll become a pair of country folks
In a little cottage sitting pretty
We'll be Mr. and Mrs. Doakes
Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains

Across 110th Street
Across 110th Street
Composer(s): J.J. Johnson - Bobby Womack
Performer(s): Bobby Womack
I was the third brother of five
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
I'm not saying what I did was alright
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester
Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street
I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now
Hey brother, there's a better way out
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're copping out
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive
The family on the other side of town
Would catch hell without a ghetto around
In every city you find the same thing going down
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street
Yes he can, oh
Look around you, just look around you
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah

Well I ask ya
What a way to treat a guy
What a way to cheat and lie
Because I wanted you
Well I ask ya
Did you have to beat me down
Did you have to go to town

Oh Baby, just you ask me
Get down on your knees and try
I won't break till I see you cry
Like me when I asked you
Alright...
Don't think you're gettin' away with it
You're gonna pay me some how
You cruelly wrecked my life
But oh, you want me now
Just you ask me
Get down on your knees and try
I won't break till I see you cry
Like me when I asked you
Well I ask ya
Well I ask ya
Well I ask ya
Well I .....
