All Roads To The River


All Roads To The River
Composer(s): Janis Ian - Jon Vezner
Performer(s): Janis Ian; Jon Vezner



I am master and slave
I am sunlight and shadow
I am all roads to the river
I am lost, I am saved
I am beloved and betrayed
All roads to the river

And the river runs wide
The river runs deep
And I spit in the eye of safe company
When I dive right down to the undertow
The deeper I drown, the higher I go

I am whispering dreams
I am howling revolutions (revolutions)
All roads to the river
I am valentine sweet
I am every mother's nightmare (nightmare)
All road to the river

The river runs wide
The river runs deep
I spit in the eye of safe company
Gonna dive right down to the undertow
'Cause the deeper I drown, the higher I go

I dream of still water
Silent and clear
But I run for the thunder
That'll drown my fear

And he river runs wide
The river runs deep
And I spit in the eye of safe company
Gonna dive right down to the undertow
'Cause the deeper I drown, higher I go

Wie Sie Sagen


Wie Sie Sagen ((Adapted from: Comme Ils Disent (Charles Aznavour) - 1972)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Eckart Hachfeld - Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1972

Versions In Other Languages: 1972 - What Makes A Man (Charles Aznavour) 1972 - Quello Che Si Dice (Charles Aznavour) 1996 - Como Dicen (Charles Aznavour)



Ich wohn' alleine mit Mama
In einem alten Haus ganz nah
Bei dem Theater
Und da ich immer einsam war
Hab' ich noch ein Kanari-Paar
Und einen Kater
Mama strengt alle Arbeit an
Ich geh' zum Markt und koche dann
Mit viel Routine
Ich wasche ab und mache rein
Und näh', sollt' es nötig sein
Auf der Maschine
Mir macht fast jede Arbeit Spaß
Weil ich Gefühl für Form und Maß
Und Stil besitze
Doch nachts erwacht erst mein Genie
Denn in der Kunst der Travestie
Da bin ich Spitze
Bewundert ist mein Striptease-Akt
Am Ende steh' ich völlig nackt
Ich kann das wagen
Und alle Gäste rings im Raum
Die trauen ihren Augen kaum
Ich bin ein Homo, wie sie sagen

Mit Freunden wird die Nacht gezecht
Da wird nach Neigung und Geschlecht
Nicht unterschieden
In irgendeiner Bar am Eck
Da spült man die Komplexe weg
Und ist zufrieden
Wir reden von den Leuten dann
Die unsereins nicht riechen kann
Die wir entsetzen
Wir spotten mit Humor und Geist
Mit scharfem Witz, der lachend beißt
Statt zu verletzen
Mitunter finden Kerle sich
Die suchen laut und lächerlich
uns nachzumachen
Sie haben Freude wie ein Kind
Uns arme Teufel, die wir sind
Noch auszulachen
Sie sind im Ton und Gang bemüht
So, wie man uns von außen sieht
Sich zu betragen
Wenn es auch mancher übelnimmt
Mich läßt es kalt, weil es ja stimmt
Ich bin ein Homo, wie sie sagen

Wenn dann der neue Tag erwacht
Kehr' ich zurück in meine Nacht
Der Einsamkeiten
Das Kleid und die Perücke fällt
Ich bin ein Clown vor aller Welt
Nur da zu leiden
Ich schlafe nicht, ich liege wach
Ich träume Liebesstunden nach
Die freudlos blieben
Und von dem Jungen, der - verdammt -
Mich immer wieder neu entflammt
Ihn heiß zu lieben
Doch keinem werd' ich dieses Leid
Den süßen Schmerz der Zärtlichkeit
Je anvertrauen
Er, der zum Wahnsinn mich gebracht
Liegt nämlich leider jede Nacht
Im Bett bei Frauen
Nein, keiner hat von euch das Recht
Hier als entartet oder schlecht
Mich anzuklagen
Der Grund, daß ich so anders bin
Liegt von Natur aus in mir drin
Ich bin ein Homo, wie sie sagen

All Roads Lead To You


All Roads Lead To You
Composer(s): Marc Beeson - Desmond Child
Performer(s): Chicago



Headed north on a one-way trip
I never thought I'd be back this way
I never thought I'd be missing you
Enough to suffer for the whole night through
Headed south and I didn't look back
I rode the wind off a beaten track
Tried running from the thought of you
Haunted down by what I know is true

To the north
To the south
It don't matter
Every road leads to you

(I'm coming home)

All roads lead to you
Wherever I go
Everytime I told you I was just passing through
What my heart didn't know, was all roads lead to you
Headed east on an amtrak train
I hit the city in the pouring rain
I never thought I'd be calling you
Every hour from that hotel room
Headed west on a jumbo jet
I rode off into the red sunset
I stood there knocking on the devil's door
Wondering what the hell iõm searchin' for

To the east
To the west
It don't matter
Every road leads to you

(I'm coming home)

All roads lead to you
Wherever I go
Everytime I told you I was just passing through
What my heart didn't know, was all roads lead to you

All my life, the winding road I've followed, has led me straight to your arms

All roads lead to you
(gotta get back to you, baby)
Wherever I go
(ah, yeah, yeah)
Everytime I told you I was just passing through
What my heart didn't know, was all roads lead to you

I'm coming home to you , baby, oooooo

All roads lead to you
(I'm coming home)
All roads lead to you
(never goin' away again)
All roads lead to you
(ah, ha, yeah)
All roads lead to you
All roads lead to you
(gotta get back to you, woman)
All roads lead to you
All roads lead to you
All roads lead to you

Wie Leeft Met Je Mee


Wie Leeft Met Je Mee ((Adapted from: Don't Leave Me This Way (Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes) - 1975)) Composer(s): Kenny Gamble - Leon Huff - Cary Gilbert - Mary Boduin Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre - 1997



Wie leeft met je mee
Als je vermoeid neervalt in je stoel
Je ogen sluit en afvraagt
Wie leeft met je mee
Wanneer je denkt
Hoe alleen je bent
Dat het nooit went
Wie leeft met je mee

Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken
Dat jij bij mij zoals altijd jezelf mag zijn
Jij die weet hoe enkel jij mij happy maakt
En hoe je mij in mijn diepste gedachten raakt
Dat ik hier op je wacht en oh ik droom ervan
Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan

Wie leeft met je mee
Als het niet gaat
Alles tegenslaat
Je weg wil gaan
Wie leeft met je mee, oh

Wie leeft met je mee
Geef je haar tijd
En gelegenheid
Voor tederheid
Wie leeft met je mee

Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken
Dat jij bij mij zoals altijd jezelf mag zijn
Jij die weet hoe enkel jij mij happy maakt
En hoe je mij in mijn diepste gedachten raakt
Dat ik hier op je wacht en oh ik droom ervan
Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan
Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan
Beginnen kan

Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken
Wie leeft met je mee

Wie leeft met je mee
Als het niet gaat
Alles tegenslaat
Je weg wil gaan
En afvraagt
Wie leeft met je mee
Geef je haar tijd
En gelegenheid
Voor tederheid
Wie leeft met je mee

Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken
Dat jij bij mij zoals altijd jezelf mag zijn
Jij die weet hoe enkel jij mij happy maakt
En hoe je mij in mijn diepste gedachten raakt
Dat ik hier op je wacht en oh ik droom ervan
Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan
Hoe alles weer opnieuw, opnieuw beginnen kan
Hoe alles weer opnieuw beginnen kan
Baby, je weet toch dat ik al je slechte streken ken
Dat jij bij mij zoals altijd jezelf mag zijn
Baby

All Right Now


All Right Now
Composer(s): Paul Rodgers - Andy Fraser
First release by: Free - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Whoa-oh-oh-oh-woha
There she stood in the street
smilin' from her head to her feet

I said, "Hey, what is this?
Now maybe, baby
maybe she's in need of a kiss"

I said, "Hey, what's your name?
Maybe we can see things the same

"Now don't you wait, or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate"

All right now, baby, it's a-all right now
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now

(Let me tell you now)
I took her home to my place
Watchin' every move on her face

She said, "Look, what's your game?
Are you tryin' to put me to shame?"

I said "Slow, don't go so fast, don't you think that love can last?"

She said, "Love, Lord above
now you're tryin' to trick me in love"

All right now, baby, it's a-all right now
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now

Wie Kan Me Nog Vertellen?


Wie Kan Me Nog Vertellen?
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Wie kan me nog vertellen
Van de vroege morgenstond
Met goudsel in de mond
Waar de dichters over dichten
Hoe laat kwam toen die eerste zwaluw uit het zomerfront
Gemeten in boezeroen
Om de schoonmaak te verlichten
De melkman om vier uur op om koeien te gaan melken
Om eieren te gaan melken bij de kippen op de stok
En in de straat de vullisman die niemand wil begroeten
Gezicht vol honingsproeten
Verdiende toen een meier
Bij dode spullen man
Waar is die zoete gouwe tijd
Waar is die in de gauwigheid
Leven ik hou van jou altijd

Er werd nogal gesproken over Kraai de kanselein
Z'n lichaam deed 'm pijn want hij leed toen aan de tering
Maar verder was het leven goed en ieder was tevreden
Er werd veel fiets gereden en men leefde van de nering
Alleen op zondag was het stil
Dan sliep men in de kerken
Dat was heel goed te merken want de collecte was nihil
En 's avonds als het donker was dan ging je op de beren
Daar stoven dan de heren totdat de nacht verdomde
En de dag gebroken was
Waar is die zee, die gouwe tijd
Waar is ie in de gauwigheid
Leven ik hou van jou altijd

Wie kan me nog vertellen van de eerste vliegmachien
Heeft u het nog gezien hoe ie naar beneden stortte
Nu grinnikt u, maar u grinnikt niet als u te pletter vliegt
Een vliegtuig is een smiecht waar niet mee valt te spotten
En onze straat ging nooit tekeer
Geen auto's en geen fietsers
Geen bussen en geen fietsers want die had je toen niet meer
Zo was het leven nog een storm vol sagen en legenden
Vol wagen en bekenden
Gereed om uit te rukken
Bij de eerste koude vorst
Waar is die zilte kouwe tijd
Waar is die in de gauwigheid
Leven ik hou van jou altijd

Wie kan me nog vertellen van die dagen in 't verleden
Het valt me nogal tegen om tot ziens te moeten tellen

All Right


All Right
Composer(s): Christopher Cross - Dean Dinning - Randy Guss - Todd Nichols - Glen Phillips
Performer(s): Christopher Cross



I know, I know what's on your mind
And I know it gets tough sometimes
But you can give it one more try
Find a reason why
You should pick it up
And try it again

'Cause it's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might just work out this time
It's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might work out fine this time
It's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might just work out
'Cause it's not too late for that
Too late for me (love)

I know I've been hurt before
And I know I really shouldn't give any more
But this time
This time things seem just a little different
And when I look in your eyes
You know I can see that it's true
And I hear you say it's all right

Just when you feel helpless
Nothing left to say
Love will find us
The past behind us
Then we're on our way

Time and time again I see
People so unsure like me
We all know it gets hard sometimes
You can give it one more try
Find another reason why
You should pick it up
You should kick it up
And try it again

Wie Der Wind


Wie Der Wind
Swedish Title: Som En Vind Kom Du Till Mej
Composer(s): D. Zimmermann; H.U. Weigel
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Wie der Wind
Kamst du zu mir
Es war Abend am Strand
Und die Wellen schlugen leise ans Land

Wie der Wind
Wie das Meer und der Sand
So einsam und leer
War mein Leben bevor ich dich fand

Man sagt, wenn zwei Menschen sich lieben
Daß die Welt voller Wunder sein kann
Und heut' nach dem ersten Kuß von dir
Glaube ich wirklich daran

Wie der Wind
Wolken bringt in der Nacht
So hast du in meine Träume
Zum ersten Mal die Liebe gebracht

Die ganze Welt hielt den Atem an
Und ein Märchen von heute begann

Wie der Wind
Wenn der Morgen beginnt
So kamst du zu mir

All Quiet On The Western Front


All Quiet On The Western Front
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



All quiet on the Western Front, nobody saw
A youth asleep in the foreign soil, planted by the war
Feel the pulse of human blood pouring forth
See the stems of Europe bend under force

All quiet
All quiet
All quiet on the Western Front

So tired of this garden's grief, nobody cares
Old kin kiss the small white cross, their only souvenir
See the Prussian offense fly, weren't we grand
To place the feel of cold sharp steel in their hands

It's gone all quiet on the Western Front, male angels sigh
Ghosts float in a flooded trench as Germany dies
Fever reaps the flowers of France, fair-haired boys
String the harps to Victory's voice, joyous noise

Wie Der Nächste Autobus


Wie Der Nächste Autobus
Composer(s): D. Zimmerman; F. Jay
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Wie der nächste Autobus
So kommt die nächste Liebe
Wenn du eine and're küsst
Dann lauf' ich dir nicht nach

Und wenn ich auch noch so gern
Bei dir für immer bliebe
Diesmal mein' ich jedes Wort
Und werd' bestimmt nicht schwach

Ich weiss an Charme
Bist du nicht arm
Du wirst auch immer gleich
Im Ton so zärtlich weich

Doch ich bin schlau
Durchschau die Show
Ich fall darauf nicht 'rein
Nein, nein!

Wie der nächste Autobus
So kommt die nächste Liebe
Wenn du mir nicht treu sein willst
Dann lass es eben sein

Wie der nächste Autobus
So kommt die nächste Liebe
Wenn du eine and're küsst
Dann lauf' ich dir nicht nach

Mein Herz das bricht
Ganz Sicher nicht
Es gibt noch ein paar mehr
Für die ich richtig wär'

Ich kenne zwei
Vielleicht auch drei
Die wären jederzeit
Bereit

Wie der nächste Autobus
So kommt die nächste Liebe
Wenn du mir nicht treu sein willst
Dann tut es mir sehr leid

You know we all need someone we can talk to
No matter what they say, we both know I’m right
After all we’ve been through

And now you walked right out of my heart
You know it’s all over town
I said you walked (walked), right (right), out of my heart
You know the word’s goin’ ’round
Now it’s all over

I said you walked (walked), right (right), out of my heart
You walked right out of my heart
And now it’s all over town

Wide, Wide River


Wide, Wide River
Composer(s): Lionel Goldbart; Ken Weaver
Performer(s): The Fugs



River of shit
River of shit
Flow on, flow on, river of shit
Right from my toes
On up to my nose
Flow on, flow on, river of shit
I've been swimming
In this river of shit
More than 20 years
And I'm getting tired of it
Don't like swimming
Hope it'll run dry
Got to go on swimming
'Cause I don't want to die

Oh I can feel another 1000 years
Of the flapjacks of Sorrow!
Unless!
Unless we make 2000 A.D.!
2000 A.D.
Our glorious deadline
A glorious deadline to make the
World a better place!
Or else the flapjacks of sorrow
Are going to slide down our throats
Slide down our throats
For another millenium
Of pain and war and oppression
And all our children's children's children's
Children's children children
Shall have to wade and to swim
In the same grim river
In which we now swim
Sing along with us
Sing sing sing sing sing sing sing sing!
(Repeat first verse)

All Over The World (Françoise Hardy)


All Over The World
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



All over the world, people must meet and part
There's someone like me feeling the pain in their heart
Some may meet agin, under that same white star
If maybe some night you come back from afar
Who cares if tonight I don't know where you are?

Are you thinking of me now
Missing having me around?
If you have forgotten me
My world will come tumbling down

All over the world, others are sad tonight
There's someone like me watching the sun's fading light
All over the sky there is the same warm glow
Here under that star I'm wanting you to know
Wherever you are, that I still love you so

Wide Eyed And Legless


Wide Eyed And Legless
Composer(s): Andy Fairweather Low
Performer(s): Andy Fairweather Low



Wherever I go and whatever I do
I seem to spend some of my time
Trying to turn the black night, blue
Well I’m tired of it all
It’s the same thing every night
But the rhythm of the glass
Is stronger than the rhythm of night

Wide eyed and legless
I’ve gone and done it again
Wide eyed and legless
This world is full of my shame
Shame, I can’t get free from these chains
Oh, oh-oh

Wide eyed and legless
I’ve gone and done it again
Wide eyed and legless
This world is full of my shame
Shame, I can’t get free from these chains
Oh, oh-oh

I’ve been here before
But this time it feels like the end
I should’ve known better, I know
But my memory’s no friend
Well, I’ve tried every thing
That I know will get rid of this fling
And I can’t understand
Why I’m wide eyed and legless again

Wide eyed and legless
I’ve gone and done it again
Wide eyed and legless
This world is full of my shame
Shame, I can’t get free from these chains
Oh, oh-oh

All Over The World (Electric Light Orchestra)


All Over The World
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin’ for a showdown

Bad dreamer, what’s your name
Looks like we’re ridin’ on the same train
Looks as through there’ll be more pain
There’s gonna be a showdown

And it’s rainin’ all over the world
It’s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There’s gonna be a showdown

Save me, oh save me
It’s unreal, the suffering
There’s gonna be a showdown

And it’s rainin’ all over the world
It’s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

Wicked Messenger


Wicked Messenger
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): The Small Faces;
and various other artists



There was a wicked messenger
from Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied
the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
he answered with a thumb
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

He stayed behind the assembly hall
it was there that he made his bed
Often times he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared
with a note in his hand which read
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"

The leaves began to fallin'
And the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told these last few words
Which opened up his heart
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"

All Over The Place


All Over The Place
Composer(s): Andrew Eyton - Noel Gay
Performer(s): Billy Thorburn
and multiple other artists



All over the place
Wherever the sea may happen to be
A sailor is found, knocking around
All over the place

All over the place
The North and the South the East or the West
There's half of the world tattooed on his chest
And all over the place

All around the universe in any port of call
Getting his fun, the son of a gun
Never staying very long in any place at all
He's here, he's there, he's every-bloomin'-where

He's all over the place
The ladies adore to get him ashore
He's theirs for the day
And then he's away
All over the place

Wichita Lineman
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell



I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that that stretch down south
Won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

All Over Nothing At All


All Over Nothing At All
Composer(s): J. Keirn Brennan - Paul Cunningham - James Rule



Our dreaming, our scheming, was all in vain
One lover's quarrel brought endless pain
We had a wonderful start
Who ever thought we would part?

How could we, why should we say it's the end
Is this the one break nothing can mend?
When there is so much at stake
Why let our hearts ache and ache?

All over nothing at all
Was our affections so small?
Must I go on living like this
Without the bliss of a sweet kiss?
I'm so sorry I made you cry
We could patch it up if we'd try
Why must we both say Good Bye
All over nothing at all!

Why'd ya make me fall in love
Why'd ya mention stars above
Why'd ya make me fall in love with you?
When I thought that love was blind
Why'd ya make me change my mind
Why'd ya make me fall in love with you?
Fine thing Mister Smarty
Fine thing thought you had a party
Why'd ya make me fall so hard
Should-a stayed in your own backyard
Why'd ya make me fall in love with you?
