Ashby De La Zouch


Ashby De La Zouch
Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Milton Drake - Jerry Livingston
Performer(s): The Merry Macs; Tommy Turner; Paul Rich



There’s a village that I love in Leicestershire
Always had my heart enthralled
Where the stars are bright above in Leicestershire
Believe it or not it’s called

Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey
That’s the only place that I long to be
Skies are full of blue
And the cows are full of moo
In Ashby De La Zouch By the sea

Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey
It’s a little bit of heaven to me
Girls have pretty curls
And the boys have pretty girls
In Ashby De La Zouch by the sea

It’s just a little hum-drum place
But you’ll be glad that you came
It’s such a beautiful someplace
Ain’t it a shame that it’s got such a name

Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey,
That’s the only place where I long to be
If you want a smooch
And be happy as a pooch
Go to Ashby De La Zouch by the sea

Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans


Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans Composer(s): Louis Alter - Eddie DeLange First recording/First release by: Louis Armstrong and His Dixieland Seven - 1946/1947 Covered by multiple other artists



Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger
The longer I stay away

Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Hurrying into Spring

The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that fills the air
I dream about magnolias in bloom
And I'm wishin I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

Do You Know What I Mean


Do You Know What I Mean Composer(s): Lee Michaels First release by: Lee Michaels - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists



Been forty days since I don't know when
I just saw her with my best friend
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know, know what I mean?

I just saw her yesterday
I just saw her, asked her to stay
Do you know what I mean?
Lawd, Do you know what I mean?

Her and Bobby were steppin out
Her and Bobby didn't know I found out
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know, know what I mean?

So I asked her if she still cared
She didn't hear me, she just stared
Do you know what I mean?
Lawd, Do you know what I mean?

And then she said
Lee you haven't loved me in nearly four years
You haven't noticed that I held back my tears
And now you have, but it's really too late
Better find yourself another girl
Better find another girl
Better find uh, another place

She just left me yesterday
She just left me, had nothing to say
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, do you know what I mean?

She's a dandy, yes indeed
She's a dandy, but now she's free
Do you know what I mean?
Lawd, do you know what I mean?

Been forty days since I don't know when
Do you know what I mean?
Lawd, do you know what I mean?

I just saw her yesterday
I just saw her, learn how to stay
Do you know what I mean?
Lawd, Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, here comes it now..

Hoooo, help.. me

Asesina De Mi Vida


Asesina De Mi Vida
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



No sé cómo te soporto
no sé como te tolero
debe ser el fin de siglo
o que estoy enloqueciendo
Sé que amarte es un combate
donde siempre caigo preso
pero bien valen tus rejas
un descenso a los infiernos

Me someto a tu malicia
como quien profesa un credo
no me quedan más esquemas
que las reglas de tu juego
Bailo al son de tus caprichos
dices negro y digo negro
no te llevo la contraria
porque no deseo hacerlo

Vas a acabar con mis días
y mis noches, asesina
asesina de mi vida.

Tu crueldad es una esponja
que succiona mi cerebro
me torturas lentamente
con tu corazón de hielo
No tienes la sangra fría
que eso es tener sangre al menos
lo que corre por tus venas
es dulcísimo veneno

Mira que te gusta verme
humillado como un perro
qué te importa maltratarme
si ni siento ni padezco
Pero todo se me pasa
como si fuera un mal sueño
cuando veo que tus ojos
me insinúan: ahora quiero

Do You Know The Way To San Jose?


Do You Know The Way To San Jose? ((French Version: La Route Du Bonheur (Liliane Saint Pierre) - 1969)) Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David First release by: Dionne Warwick - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists



Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose

L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

Do you know the way to San Jose?
They've got a lot of space
There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose

Fame and fortune is a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away

I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can't wait to get back to San Jose

Ascot Gavotte


Ascot Gavotte
((English Version: The Ascot Gavotte (by Roger Rees))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Lane & Friends



Dames en Heren:
Elke lady, elke lord is hier
Al wat adel is of wordt, is hier
Wat betoverend, oog- en hart- verov'rend
is toch weer die echte Ascot-sfeer
Aan de start staan alle paarden
wie van hen gaat strijken met de eer?
Wat opwindend, zenuwen verslindend
is toch weer die echte Ascot sfeer
Hoor eens onze
harten bonzen
open monden
O, wat ben ik opgewonden!
Weer begint het spel
sneller klopt ons hart
Hoor!
Daar gaat de bel al!
O, wat snel al
gaan ze ...
Kijk!
Ze zijn gestart!

Wat een vreselijke spanning was dat!
O, men schreeuwt zich bijkans hees
O, wat boeiend, dodelijk vermoeiend
is toch steeds zo'n echte Ascot race!

Dames en Heren en alle anderen
Weer begint het spel
Sneller klopt ons hart.
Hoor!
Het gaat beginnen!
Wie zal winnen
dit keer?
Kijk!
Ze zijn gestart

Do You Know How It Feels To Be Lonesome?


Do You Know How It Feels To Be Lonesome? Composer(s): Barry Goldberg - Gram Parsons Performer(s): The International Submarine Band



Do you know how it feels to be lonesome
When there's just no one left that really cares
Did you ever try to smile at some people
And all they ever seem to do is stare

And you remember how it feels to be cold again
When the happiness of love has gone away
And you never want to go out on the street again
And you only seem to live from day to day

Do you know how it feels to be lonesome
When there's just no one left who really cares
Did you ever try to smile at some people
Yes, and all they ever seem to do is stare
Yes, and all they ever seem to do is stare

The Ascot Gavotte


The Ascot Gavotte
(Dutch Version: Ascot Gavotte)
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Lane & Friends
Performer(s): Roger Rees



Ladies and Gentlemen
Ev'ry duke and earl and peer is here
Ev'ryone who should be here is here
What a smashing, positively dashing
Spectacle: the Ascot op'ning day
At the gate are all the horses
Waiting for the cue to fly away
What a gripping, absolutely ripping
Moment at the Ascot op'ning day
Pulses rushing!
Faces flushing!
Heartbeats speed up!
I have never been so keyed up!
And second now
They'll begin to run
Hark!
A bell is ringing
They are springing
Forward Look!
It has begun...!
What a frenzied moment that was!
Didn't they maintain an exhausting pace?
'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling
Running of the
Ascot op'ning race

Sancta Maria


Sancta Maria
Performer(s): Jo Vally



Sancta Maria, ik kom tot U
Hier bij het kruis bid ik tot U
Vraag ik om raad, hoop in m'n hart
Want Gij troost menselijke smart

Doe ik soms kwaad als ik bemin
Meer dan het geld is zij me waard
Zij maakt m'n lot zo wonderbaar
O, ik leef alleen voor haar

Vergeef me m'n ontroering
Als zij niet bij me is
Vergeef me m'n vervoering
Als zij in m'n armen ligt
Vergeef Sancta Maria
Dit brandend liefdesvuur
En maak Sancta Maria
Dat het voor altijd duurt

Doe ik soms kwaad als ik bemin
Meer dan het goud is zij me waard
Zij maakt m'n lot zo wonderbaar
O, ik leef alleen voor haar

Vergeef me m'n ontroering
Als zij niet bij me is
Vergeef me m'n vervoering
Als zij in m'n armen ligt
Vergeef Sancta Maria
Dit brandend liefdesvuur
En maak Sancta Maria
Dat het voor altijd duurt

Asa Branca


Asa Branca
Composer(s): Luiz Gonzaga - Humberto Teixeira
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quando oiei a terra ardendo
Qual fogueira de São João
Eu preguntei a Deus do céu, ai
Por que tamanha judiação

Que braseiro, que fornáia
Nem um pé de prantação
Por falta d'água perdi meu gado
Morreu de sede meu alazão

Inté mesmo a asa-branca bateu asas do sertão
Entonce eu disse, adeus Rosinha
Guarda contigo o meu coração

Hoje, longe muitas léguas
Numa triste solidão
Espero a chuva cair de novo
Pra mim vortá pro meu sertão

Quando o verde dos teus óio
Se espaiá na prantação
Eu te asseguro, não chore não, viu
Que eu vortarei, viu, meu coração...

Do You Know Any Bob Dylan?


Do You Know Any Bob Dylan?
Composer(s): Eric Bogle
Performer(s): Eric Bogle



At the age of nineteen, I was young, I was keen
And I had just one burning ambition
To be a folk singer, a dope-smoking swinger
Singing songs that were steeped in tradition

So I bought a guitar and I practiced real hard
I wasn't much good, but I was willin'
Till to my chagrin, my girlfriend came in
And she said, "Can you sing any Dylan?"

And I said "No, no a thousand times no!
I'd rather see my life blood spillin'
I'll sing anything, even God Save the King
But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"

And with my guitar I traveled real far
Trying to gain recognition
I sang "Matty Groves" from St. Paul to Glen Cove
In pubs, clubs, and in seamen's missions

I traveled the road for seven long years
The pace, it really was killin'
And wherever I went from Scotland to Kent
They would say, "Can you sing any Dylan?"

And I said "No, no a thousand times no!
I'd rather see my life blood spillin'
I'll sing anything, even God Save the King
But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"

Well I soldiered on but the magic was gone
Leaving naught but a deep sense of failure
So I thought I would go where all failures go
And I took me a ship to Australia

When I landed in Sydney, the sun it shone down
On a view that was lovely and thrilling
But seeing my case, with a smile on his face
Customs said, "Can you sing any Dylan, mate?"

And I said "No, no a thousand times no!
I'd rather see my life blood spillin'
I'll sing anything, even God Save the King
But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"

Well ever since then, again and again
They've asked me the same boring question
And I usually reply with a glint in my eye
And a rather indecent suggestion

But the last straw came one night at a local motel
Where I had a young girl who was willin'
Put my hand up her dress, and she said "I'll say yes
If first you will sing me some Dylan"

And I said "No, no a thousand times no!
I'd rather see my life blood spillin'
I'll sing anything, even God Save the King
But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"

But I tell you my friend, that was the end
Of all my traditional aspirations
If being a folkie meant giving up nookie
There was one way to end my frustrations

So the very next night at another folk club
Where the audience around me was millin'
I took off my coat and I ruptured my throat
And I sang a song just like Bob Dylan

"Fo-o-o-or the ti-i-i-mes they are a-changi-i-i-ing"

And the audience went wild, man, woman and child
They clapped 'til their poor hands were bleeding
And they said, so to speak, that my style was unique
And just what the folk scene was needing

So all you young folkies who play a guitar
If you want to achieve a top billin'
Just murder good prose and sing through your nose
And then you'll sound just like Bob Dylan

Asa Partida


Asa Partida
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Abel Silva
Raimundo Fagner



Esta saudade
O cigarro
A luz acessa
E a noite posta sobre a mesa
Em cada canto da casa
Asa partida
E dor
Gemido morto
Amor
Tão longe vai
Tão longe vou

Nuvem sem rumo é assim mesmo
Eu não queria
A vida desse jeito
Meu olho armando
Bote sem futuro
Fumaça

E continua
O teu sorriso no meu peito
Essa saudade
O cigarro a luz acessa
E essa noite
Posta sobre a mesa

Em cada canto da casa
Asa partida
E dor
Gemido morto
Amor
Tão longe vai
Tão longe vou...

Do You Hear The People Sing?


Do You Hear The People Sing?
((French Version: À La Volonté Du Peuple (Michel Sardou))
Composer(s): Alain Boublil - James Fenton - Herbert Kretzmer - Claude-Michel Schönberg



Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Courfeyrac:
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

As You Said


As You Said
Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Brown
Performer(s): Cream



Let's go down to where it's clean
To see what time it might have been
The tides have carries of the beach
As you said
The sun is out of reach
Let's go back to where it's clean
To see what year it might have been
The roads have carried of the smiles
As you said
To judge them at the trails

So let's go back to now that's bad
To see what time we could have had
The rails have carried off the trains
As you said
I'll never come again

You left me with a problem

As You Like It


As You Like It
Composer(s): Vandyke
Performer(s): Adam Faith



If you don’t like the kooky way I comb my hair for you
And you don’t like the look of the crazy pants
I wear for you
OK my darling, I’ll change each pitch
I only wanna love you
As you like it

If you don’t like the gang that I go around with
On the town
And you don’t like the records I play
Because they bring you down
OK my darling, I’ll have to quit
I only wanna love you
As you like it

If you’re looking for a saint, dear
Betta warn you that you won’t get far
I’m a man that’s only human
I’m gonna change my ways for you
And love you as you are

‘Cause you don’t realise
That I’m gonna make a fight for you
Just a look from your eyes
And I’d set the world alight for you
OK my darling, and now the fuse is lit
You know I’m gonna love you
As you like it

If you’re looking for a saint, dear
Betta warn you that you won’t get far
I’m a man that’s only human
I’m gonna change my ways for you
And love you as you are

But you don’t realise that I’m gonna make a fight for you
Just a look from your eyes
And I’d set the world alight for you
OK my darling, when the fuse is lit
You know I’m gonna love you
As you like it
As you like it

Do You Feel Like We Do


Do You Feel Like We Do Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Mick Gallagher - John Siomos - Rick Wills First release by: Peter Frampton - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists



Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream
I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on - let's do it again
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?
My friend got busted just the other day
They said don’t walk, don’t walk, don’t walk away
He drove into a taxi bent the boot hit the back
Had to play some music otherwise he’d crack
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?

Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?
Champagne for breakfast and a sherman in my hand
Black coat, Black tails, never fails
Must have been a dream
I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on - lets do it again
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?

As We Lay


As We Lay
Performer(s): Dana Harris



It's morning
And we've slept the night away
It happened
Now we can't turn back the hands of time
Yes we've stolen this moment
We've forgot about one simple fact
We both belong to someone else
As we slept the night away

chorus
As we lay
We forgot about tomorrow as we lay
As we lay
Didn't think about the price we had to pay
It's morning
And now it's time for us to say good-bye (good-bye)
(Good-bye, baby) you're leaving me
I know you gotta hurry home and face your wife
I would never never wanna hurt her (never, baby)
She would never ever ever understand
You belong to me for just one night
As we slept the night away

chorus

We should of captured all of our thoughts
But instead we got lost
In the second
In the minute
In the hour (in the hour, baby)

Het Noodlot


Het Noodlot
Performer(s): Zangeres Zonder Naam



Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Alsof je mij niet kende
Het geluk is nu van ons gegaan
Ik zie je weer voor me staan
Waarom moet dit nu zijn
Het leven heeft voor mij geen waarde
Je bleef me toch niet trouw
Je was mijn schat op aarde
Ik hou alleen van jou
Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Waarom moet dit nu zijn

Het noodlot heeft ons van elkander gebracht
Ik sta nu alleen en haat nu de nacht
Jij was voor mij alles, vergeten doe ik niet
Daarom zing ik nu voor jou dit lied

Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Alsof je mij niet kende
Het geluk is nu van ons gegaan
Ik zie je weer voor me staan
Waarom moet dit nu zijn
Het leven heeft voor mij geen waarde
Je bleef me toch niet trouw
Je was mijn schat op aarde
Ik hou alleen van jou
Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Waarom moet dit nu zijn

Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Waarom moet dit nu zijn...

As We Go Along


As We Go Along
Performer(s): The Monkees



I can tell by your face
That you're looking to find a place
To settle your mind
And reveal who you are
And you shouldn't be shy
For I'm not gonna try
To hurt you or heal you or steal your star
Open your eyes
Get up off your chair
There's so much to do in the sunlight
Give up your secrets
Let down your hair
And sit with me here by the firelight
Why think all about
Who's gonna win out
We'll make up our story as we go along
There's so little time
For us to try to rhyme
And so many highways to travel upon
Open your eyes
Get up off your chair
There's so much to do in the sunlight
Give up your secrets and let down your hair
And sit with me here by the firelight
