Action Speaks Faster
Action Speaks Faster
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Difford & Tilbrook
Action speaks faster
Faster than words
Pull her towards you
Let love be heard
And when we kissed there was a room that had been emptied
You said so much without a word I’d been tempted
Love’s not for sale there’s not a price
Who could have rented
Who lives here now come out and be found where I have nested
My eyelashes swam up through the tears
The moments that passed took two or three years
And when we talked there was rain and no attraction
Hand to my head, eyes to the ground, no reaction
Our love was home, now it’s a fort that’s held up to ransom
What of us now, now there’s no laughs, where is the action

We're An American Band
We're An American Band
Composer(s): Don Brewer
Performer(s): Grand Funk Railroad
Out on the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock, put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie, doin' her act
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact
Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker's his thing
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band
Four young chiquitas in Omaha
Waitin' for the band to return from the show
A feelin' good, feelin' right and it's Saturday night
The hotel detective, he was outta sight
Now these fine ladies, they had a plan
They was out to meet the boys in the band
They said, "come on dudes, let's get it on"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band
We're an American Band, wooo
We're an American Band, wooo
We're an American Band, wooo

Action Man In A Motown Suit
Action Man In A Motown Suit
Performer(s): 10 cc
Let's stay a while and watch him
He's moving into action man
He's looking good but maybe
He's in the wrong direction man
But he wanna get a little, get a little
Every night, get a little, get a little
Something for his appetite
Everybody needs to have a recreation
Everybody needs a little comfort for the soul
You'll never make it in a motown suit
No way to fake it man they're not your roots
No, you'll never make it in a motown suit
You can't be a drummer without rhythm
Can't blow your horn if you ain't blue
Some folks they just ain't got it in `em
Tell me boy now does that sound like you
He's cruising with the singles
Down the margarita bar
He's boring to distraction
Pushing words and talking stars
(What's your sign)
He's gotta take a little, take a little
On the side, make a little, make a little
Something for his appetite
Everybody needs a little lubrication
Someone with imagination got to break the ice
You'll never make it in a motown suit
No way to fake it man they're not your roots
No, you'll never make it in a motown suit
You can't be a lover without rhythm
Don't blow your horn if you ain't true
No point in playing Valentino
He's a sham and brother so are you
You can't be a drummer without rhythm
Can't blow your horn if you ain't blue
Some folks they just ain't got it in `em
Tell me boy now does that sound like you

We're Almost There
Composer(s): Brian Holland; Eddie Holland

The task may seem
Don't give up our plans
Don't give up our dreams
No broken bridges

'Cause what we're searchin' for
Will soon be found
Chorus:
'Cause we're almost there
Just one more step
('Cause we're almost there)
Just one more step
(Just one more step)
Don't give up
'Cause we're almost all almost there
('Cause we're almost there)
(Look at the lovers)
Look at the lonely lovers
That didn't make it
Life's long hard climb
(Life's long hard climb)
They just couldn't take it
(They just couldn't take it)
Don't let it happen to me and you
Hold on together, darlin'
We'll make it through
Darlin', keep on reachin' out for me
Keep on reachin, do it for me
Do it for me, cause baby
Chorus:
('Cause we're almost there)
(We're almost there)
('Cause we're almost there)
We're so close
I can taste it
A life so sweet
Can't afford to waste it
(Can't afford to waste it)
Need to feel your hand
Slippin' from mine?
Just hold on tighter now, darlin'
Keep on tryin'
Chorus:
Baby, do it for me, do it do it baby
('Cause we're almost there)
Just one more step

Don't give up
('Cause we're almost there)
Just one more step
Baby baby, don't give up
('Cause we're almost there)
Keep on, keep on
(We're almost there)
Just one more step
('Cause we're almost there)
'Cause we're almost there
Juste one more step
'Cause we're almost there
We've come to far
To turn around
Ooh!!
Keep on reachin'
For higher ground
We've had our ups and we've had our downs
Let nothin' in the world darlin'
Turn us around
'Cause we're almost there
We're almost there
We're almost there
Everything we're lookin' for
We're almost there
Keep on reachin' out for me
'Cause we're almost there darlin'
We're almost there
We're almost there darlin'
We're almost there
We're almost there
Ah we're almost there

Action In The Streets
Action In The Streets
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Well don't move
Why don't you listen to what I'm saying
And hey you
You better get up if you plan to be staying
Get loose
You got to listen to what the band is playing
Oh tonight
There's action in the street all night
We're bopping to the big beat, go
Get up off your seat and roll
At school
The girls you know their dancing, mister 's just my speed
And hey cool
If action is the thing you need
Well don't fool
The kid's satisfaction guaranteed
Oh tonight
There's action in the street all night
We're bopping to the big beat, go
Get up off your seat and roll
Well hey man
Yeah don't let the little girl sigh
Understand
If you just move your body side to side
Raise your hand
Shout until you're satisfied
Oh tonight
There's action in the street all night
We're bopping to the big beat, go
Get up off your seat and roll

We're All Alone
We're All Alone
Composer(s): Boz Scaggs
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs;
and various other artists
Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forever more, forever more
Close your eyes and dream
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves
Through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone, we're all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do, lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear, oh-oh-oh, hold me dear
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone, ooh-ooh, we're all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Owe it to the wind, my love

Wer Schreibt Heut' Noch Liebesbriefe
Wer Schreibt Heut' Noch Liebesbriefe
Composer(s): D. Zimmerman; Renée Marcard
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich
Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu'
Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich
Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Wenn man sich heut' was sagen will dann ist das schnell getan
Man geht zum nächsten Telefon und ruft einfach an
Und ist sie in Gerzerslo
Er jedoch anderswo
Ist man ganz modern
Und spricht eben fern
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich
Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu'
Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich
Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Ich führ' auch noch ein Tagebuch weil ich romatisch bin
Auf jeder Seite stehst du da hundertmal schon drin
Ich träume auch noch gern zu zwein
Auf einer Bank im Mondenschein
Und bin gerne wahr
Ganz sentimental
Wer schreibt heut' noch Liebesbriefe? Ich, ich, ich
Weil ich das nun mahl so gerne tu'
Doch ich schreib' sie alle nur an dich, dich, dich
Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu
Denn Liebe, wahre Liebe, die gehört zu Liebesbriefen schon dazu

Acting Very Strange
Acting Very Strange
Composer(s): Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Mike Rutherford
If I step into the light
And hold it in my hand
Nothing left to see,
Nothing left for me, anyway
I feel the world is slipping
Out of reach (I'm all alone)
It's a memory
It's a memory that used to be
In a little while
I know it'll be too late
Somebody help me, please
Cos you're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
Oh, you never come here any more
You never even call
To see if I'm alright
Get me through the night
Like you used to do
In a little while
I know it'll be too late
Now I'm certain
That you're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
Another lonely day without you, oh
I'm acting very strange without you, oh
Another lonely day without you, oh
I'm acting very strange without you, oh
Oh, the place is getting very hot
I'm afraid to stay
Something's going on
Something's very wrong with you and me
If I reach out to touch your face
There's nothing there to touch
It's a memory
It's a memory of you and me
In a little while
I know it'll be too late
Now I'm certain
That you're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
You're acting very strange
I'm acting very strange without you, oh
Another lonely day without you, oh
I'm acting very strange without you, oh
Another lonely day without you, oh
You're acting very strange...
I'm acting very strange without you, oh...

Wenn Ich Träum
Wenn Ich Träum
English Title: When I Dream
Composer(s): S. Mason-Theoret; Michael Künze
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Rosen vor dem Fenster
Und der Blick auf's Meer hinaus
Ein verwunschener alter Park
Ein Kiesweg vor dem Haus
Kleider und Geschenke
Was man sich nur wünschen kann
All das geb ich gerne her
Mir liegt nichts daran
Denn wenn ich träum
Träum ich von dir
Und frage mich wann
Kommst du zu mir
Keine Schwäche zeigen
Sich von ihrem Zwang befrei'n
Unabhängig selbstbewusst
Ich wollt es immer sein
Ich lege das Make up auf
Und zeige nicht was ich fühl
Doch ich glaube selbst nicht an
Die Rolle, die ich spiel
Denn wenn ich träum
Träum ich von dir
Und frage mich wann
Kommst du zu mir
Ja wenn ich träum
Träum ich von dir
Und frage mich wann
Kommst du zu mir

Act Of War
Act Of War
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John; Millie Jackson
This ain't no battle honey, this ain't no fight
How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night
If I take a drink, is that against the law
And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war
Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home
I didn't build it up for you to live here on my own
And if you think it's easy to forget about me
You'd better think twice, you'd better believe it's an act of war
We're living on the front line you and me
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh go ahead bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war
Give it all you've got `cause I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war
Well I'm a man of convenience I work a long hard day
After twelve long hours ain't I got the right to play
If living together is getting in the way
Then I call that an act of war
Well if that's your game then honey two can play
I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way
Ain't no way baby this girl's gonna stay
I call it, I call it an act of war
And it looks like time ain't been on our side
If we could turn the clock back
We might survive this act of war

Wenn Ich 64 Bin
Wenn Ich 64 Bin
English Title: When I'm Sixty-Four
Performer(s): Udo Lindenberg
Wenn ich mal alt bin, die Haare sind futsch, im Jahr 2010
Wirst Du dann immer noch bei mir sein?
Uh, das fänd' ich schön
Wenn ich senil bin
mit'm riesigen Bauch und 'nem schönen Doppelkinn
Wirst Du mich lieben, immer noch lieben, wenn ich 64 bin?
(Kehrreim:)
Wenn ich am Tag nur noch zwei Schnäpse vertrag'
und nur noch einmal im Monat bumsen mag
Wirst du mich lieben, immer noch lieben, wenn ich 64 bin?
Jeden Sommer mieten wir uns ein Häuschen auf Sylt
wenn die Rente reicht, die Enkel kommen uns besuchen
ich spiel' mit denen am Strand, bau 'ne Burg aus Sand
und Du backst den Haschischkuchen
Wenn ich mal alt bin, ich geh' am Stock, und in den Knien ganz weich
Wenn ich dann mit glänzendem Nostalgie-Blick am Onkel Pö vorüberschleich'
Wirst Du dann sagen: Alter, keine Panik, für mich bist Du immer noch der King
Wirst Du mich lieben, oh, immer noch lieben, wenn ich 64 bin?

Act Of Faith
Composer(s): Bob Marlette - Tim Pierce - Rick Springfield
Performer(s): Rick Springfield
I tell you honestly
Don’t you go and throw your heart away
I know it’s so hard to do
You’ve got to let go when you want to hold on
I know how much you miss him celebrate what you had
Don’t cry about the things left unsaid
It’ll do no good
You look for mercy and a meaning somewhere
You know that the hurting won’t go
’til you walk through the fire
It’s gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
It’s gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It’s gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find it’s way back into your life
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Stand up, don’t you fall
You just take good care of where you are
You’re thinking life’s through with you
That’s not what he’d want or what you should do
I know you loved him baby celebrate who he was
I know you know you’ve got to go on and live your life
Go down to the river of the spirit that runs through you
And lay yourself down in the healing waters
It’s gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
It’s gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It’s gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find it’s way back into your life
Love is a healer
There is no purpose served in holding on
Love is a healer
There is no understanding why
Love is a healer
There is no sin in you that brought this to your door
My love, it just is
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Here’s my heart my love is in it
Here’s my heart my love is in it
It’s gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
It’s gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It’s gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find it’s way back into your life
It’s gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
It’s gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It’s gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find it’s way back into your life...

Wenn Ich Ein Junge Wär'
Wenn Ich Ein Junge Wär'
Composer(s): H. Buchholz; G. Loose
Performer(s): Rita Pavone; Nina Hagen
Wenn ich ein Junge wär, das wäre wunderschön
dann könnt ich jeden Tag in langen Hosen gehn
Und käm ich abends spät nach Haus
macht Mama nicht ein Drama daraus
das wäre halb so schwer
wenn ich ein Junge wär
Doch wenn Tino Tino Tino mich küsst
und wenn Tino Tino lieb zu mir ist
wird bei Tino Tino Tino mir klar
eine picco, piccolina, carina, bambina
si si, signorina zu sein, ist wunderbar!
Wenn ich ein Junge wär mit einem Motorrad
dann wäre ich bekannt, bald in der ganzen Stadt
Ich trau mir zu, im Fußballverein
ein guter Mittelstürmer zu sein
das wäre halbso schwer
wenn ich ein Junge wär
Doch wenn Tino...
Wenn ich ein Junge wär, dann wüsste ich so gut
was ein verliebter Boy aus lauter Liebe tut
das wäre halb so schwer
wenn ich ein Junge wär

For thou art the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory
Forever and ever. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,
Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy...

And I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment

I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace
To confess my sins, to do penance, to amend my life
And to avoid the temptations of evil
Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee
And I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment
But most of all, because my God, I have offended Thee
Who art all good

And deserving of all my love
I reserve, I reserve, I reserve
I reserve, I resolve
I have a reservation
I have a reservation!

Wenn Du Mich Noch Magst
Wenn Du Mich Noch Magst
Performer(s): Caterina Valente
Ja du hast mir sehr weh getan
Doch ich klage dich niemals an
Wenn ein Mann eine and're liebt
ist niemand schuld daran
Dass ich mir viel zu sicher war
wurde mir erst viel später klar
Doch nun hab' ich gehört
dir soll's nicht gutgeh'n
und du bist allein
Wenn du mich noch magst
wenn du mich noch willst
wenn du mich noch liebst
dann komm doch wieder zurück zu mir
Versuch' noch einmal dein Glück mit mir
Wenn du mich noch magst
wenn du mich noch willst
wenn du mich noch liebst
dann mach doch einfach die Türe auf
ich warte nur darauf
Ich hab' lang drüber nachgedacht
warum jeder den Fehler macht
daá er Liebe für selbstverständlich hält
in seiner Welt
Erst im Dunkel der Einsamkeit
sehnt man sich nach Gemeinsamkeit
Alle Tage nur deine Hand zu halten
mehr wünsch' ich mir nicht
Wenn du mich noch magst
Denn immer noch klingen die Lieder
die Lieder von einst
Sie sagen mir
alles wird wieder
wird wieder wie einst
Wenn du mich noch magst
soll alles and're vergessen sein
ich bin und bleibe dein
