What's The Reason (I'm Not Pleasin' You)
Composer(s): Jimmie Grier; Carl Hatch;
Coy Poe; Pinky Tomlin
Performer(s): Fats Waller;
and various other artists
Everything I do, I do for no one else but you
And everything I get, I feel you ought to share it too
I want to be with you dear anywhere that you may go
But when I ask if you love me, you don't say yes or no
Why don't we get along
Everything I do is wrong
Tell me, what's the reason
I'm not pleasin' you
I may kiss you but then
You don't say Kiss me again
Tell me what's the reason
I'm not pleasin' you
If you must keep me in doubt
How will I know what to do
You can change me about
I'll be what you want me to
Though I try and I try
Still I never satisfy
Tell me what's the reason
I'm not pleasin' you

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
Composer(s): Phil Collins
First release by: Phil Collins - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, 'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho
Just take a look at me now

Again We Love
Again We Love
Composer(s): Billy Currie - Rusty Egan - Dave Formula - Steve Strange - Midge Ure
Performer(s): Visage
My shining hour has come upon me here
The moment lingers in my room
These words of mad music ringing clear
I drink them in but it's gone too soon
We cry
We sigh
Again we love
And in my sweating palm, I hold the key
The image déjà-vu's again
My head is spinning with a rhapsody
The moment's over but it's not the end
We cry
We sigh
Again we love
These passing shapes feel so cool to me
The taste of perfume in the air
The crystal shimmer of a blue sea
Sun kissed beaches, but there's no one there
We cry
We sigh
Again we love

What's The Good Of A Birthday (The Birthday Song)
What's The Good Of A Birthday (The Birthday Song)
Composer(s): L. Elliott
Performer(s): Gracie Fields
I've had a birthday come today, it's been a bit of a washout too
Though I had presents from everyone of the useful kind
Without much fun and a bit of a party do
Birthdays are jolly my mummy said
Ha-ha, mine's finished up being sent to bed
What's the good of a birthday if you can't have what you like
What's the good of a hankerchief to a fellow who wants a bike
They gave me a brush to clean me teeth and a tube of paste as well
And it wasn't the paste with the peppermint taste, it was a nasty carbollicky smell
So I squeezed all the paste on the carpet for fun
And I stood on the toothbrush so that break was done
And I won't use me hanky
I'll just let it run
What's the good of a birthday
And the birthday party too it wasn't much good to me
I'd honey sandwiches, then some jam, some trifle jelly with cream and jam
And seven big cups of tea
And just then I noticed a big pork pie - I couldn't have it - now I ask you why
What's the good of a birthday if you can't eat till you're sick
What's the good of a piece of cake if a fella can't have his pick
They told me I'd be a P.I.G. and that I'd best beware, ha-ha
I said P.I.G.'s are happier than me, so why should I bloomin'well care
Then I crept in the larder and guess what I got
A tin of sardines and I et all the lot, he-he
Then I showed them if I could be sick or not, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hoo-hoo
It was awful - all over the place
When I'd been sick they said that's that and me birthday they said was done
They washed me hands and washed me face, I was sent to bed
I was in disgrace - just as if being sick was fun
They took all me clothes from the bedroom
'Cause then they said I'd have to stay where I was
What's the good of a birthday if a fella's sent to bed
What's the good of a party, 'ey, if a fella's upstairs instead
The Reverend Brown, I knew was down in the dining room below
With Mrs Devine and Willy and Jean all laughing with Aunty Flo
I wandered and wanted to join in the din but I knew in pyjamas I mustn't go in
So I just took 'em off and went down in me skin, ha-ha-ha...
Ah, what's the good of a birthday if a fella can't have a joke
What's the good of a birthday suit if it shocks all the grown up folk
'Cause now I'm back in bed again and I've promised not to play any more pranks
'Cause mummy's cross and daddy's cross and when daddy's cross he spanks
So I'm lying in bed, I'm in more disgrace
And I'm smarting and smarting in one certain place
And I guess for tonight I should sleep on me face
What's the good of a birthday?

Again And Again
Again And Again
Composer(s): Rick Parfitt - Jackie Lynton - Andy Bown
First release by: Status Quo - 1978
Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n roll-show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin' guitar
Found himself a beat and he pkayed it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Again and again
and again and again and again
And again and again
Why don't you do it
Why don't you do it again
Again and again and again ...
Travelled round the world in a rock and roll band
He stood like a giant with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll
Again and again
Now we've got the rhythm in us
now we've got the rock
Time didn't matter
never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him play his rock and roll
Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
He couldn't find a rhythm
'cos he couldn't find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again and again and again
And again and again
Why don't you do it
Why don't you do it again
Why don't you do it
Why don't you it again

What's So Easy For Two Is So Hard For One
What's So Easy For Two Is So Hard For One
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson
Performer(s): Mary Wells
Well well well well
Let's get together and go for a walk in the park
And while we're walking we can steal a little kiss in the dark
I wanna walk with you (I wanna walk with you)
I wanna talk with you (I wanna talk with you)
But it's up to you to say "Come on baby"
If you don't hurry up I'll go crazy
'Cause a walk in the park all alone is just no fun
Chorus:
What two can easily do, what two can easily do
Is so hard to be done by one
I'm sure that you know that I love you with all of my heart
But a love that's true really takes two to start
I wanna do my share (I wanna do my share)
To show you that I care (to show you that I care)
'Cause a one-sided love will never do
You gotta show me that you love me too
'Cause falling in love all alone is just no fun
(chorus)
One can build a love affair slowly
Two can build a love affair fast
One can make a love get started
Two can make it last
So come on and take me by the hand
Lead me up to the preacher man
Together we can do all the things that should be done
(repeat chorus)

Again (Janet Jackson)
Again
Composer(s): James Harris - Janet Jackson - Terry Lewis
Performer(s): Janet Jackson
I heard from a friend today
And she said you were in town
Suddenly the memories came back to me in
My mind
How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again
A wounded heart you gave
My soul you took away
Good intentions you had many
I know you did
I come from a place that hurts
an' God knows how I've cried
And I never want to return
Never fall again
Making love to you oh it felt so good and
Oh so right
How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again
So here we are alone again
Didn't think it'd come to this
And to know it all began
With just a little kiss
I've come too close to happiness
To have it swept away
Don't think I can take the pain
Never fall again
Kinda late in the game
And my heart is in your hands
Don't you stand there and then tell me
You love me
Then leave again
'Cause I'm falling in love with you again
Hold me, hold me
Don't ever let me go
Say it just one time
Say you love me
God knows I do love you again

Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt;
and various other artists
What's new
How is the world treating you
You haven't changed a bit
Handsome as ever I must admit
What's new
How did that romance come through
We haven't met since then
Gee but it's nice to see you again
What's new
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand
I understand
Adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed
I still love you so
Adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed
I still love you so

Again
Composer(s): Dorcas Cochran - Lionel Newman
Performer(s): Ida Lupino
and multiple other artists
Again, this couldn't happen again
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine
What's more, this never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now and yet never so near
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
What matters, dear, for
When this doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again (never, never)
We'll have this moment for ever
But never, never again (never, never)

Agadoo
Composer(s): Delancray - Giuliana Peramezza - Mya Simille
Performer(s): Black Lace
and multiple other artists
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Well, she was selling pineapple, playing ukulele
And when I went to the girl, "Come on and teach me to sway"
She laughed and whispered to me, "Yes, come tonight to the bay"
The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singing this song
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
And down on the shore they gather romance
She showed me much more, not only to dance
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singing this song
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee

Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

What's Love Got To Do With It?
What's Love Got To Do With It?
Composer(s): Terry Britten; Graham Lyle
Performer(s): Tina Turner
You must understand
that the touch of your hand
makes my pulse react
that it's only that thrill
of boy meeting girl
opposites attract
It's physical
only logical
You must try to ignore
that it means more than that
(Chorus)
Oh What's love got to do with it
What's love but a second-hand emotion
What's love got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken
It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase for it
But whatever the reason
You do it for me
(Chorus)
I've been thinking of a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel that way
What's love got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old-fashioned notion
What's love got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

Aftertones
Aftertones
Composer(s): Janis Ian
Performer(s): Janis Ian
Sometimes it's all too much to say aloud
The sound's a shroud
The meanings crowd
Sometimes the words are painful to the ear
They disappear and nothing's clear
And all that's left of me are aftertones
I take them home
We live alone
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me
This song's for free
Within the mem'ries of our life gone by
Afraid to die, we learn to lie
And measure out the time in coffee spoons
In fading suns and dying moons
Till all that's left to see are aftertones
And no one knows where meaning goes
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me
This song's for free
And, ooo, I like the sound
Of harmony from time to time
I really do believe
In some kind of tomorrow
When it speaks to me
Dinsdag 9 december 1997
What's In A Kiss?
What's In A Kiss?
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just a moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
What's in a dream
Is it all the things you'd like to have been
All the places that you haven't yet seen
Tell me what's in a dream
I know it's really rather stupid of me
But I honestly don't know
Every time I try to find a solution
I'm surprised at how quickly I become so slow
What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
And any time you need a light refreshment
Baby you can count on me
I am your very own delicatessen
Well equipped to supply you with your every need
Well what's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
Tell me what's in a kiss?
Tell me what's in a kiss?

Afternoon Tea
Afternoon Tea
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks
Tea time won't be the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I think about that small cafe
That's where we used to meet each day
And then we used to sit a while
And drink our afternoon tea
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)
You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)
Like you talking to me
Because you ease my mind
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Tea time still ain't the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I went to our cafe one day
They said that Donna walked away
You'd think at least she might have stayed
To drink her afternoon tea
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
I take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
Every day of the week (afternoon tea)
Please come along if you like
Because I like you, girl
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
