Buttermilk Boy
Buttermilk Boy
Composer(s): Steve Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie
Yeah, she pays no mind to methods you employ
She wants a big city man, not a country boy
Go get your long hair cut
Scrape the mud off your boots
Eh, wash the hell behind those ears
Buy yourself some tailored suits
Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knickers down
She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
Makes no difference how you strive
She couldn't care if you were dead or alive
A burly, beefy, strong arm man
Is all she cares to meet
Before you ever heard the word guitar
Yes, your mother used to see her as a star
Yes, she spent her teens?
In chauffered limosines
And I heard tell you can't get insured
For a clapped out '45 drop head Ford
Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knick, knick, knick, knickers down
She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
She'll tear you down like a steer comin' through
Like I said she ain't no use to you
A lumpy hairy mundane brain
Is all she cares to make
So let me put you straight, yeah
Marry farm-yard Kate
Yep, she weighs two hundred pounds its said
Oh, she'll keep you warm in bed
Oh, Buttermilk Boy, you better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knick, I say, knickers down
Well, a musclely man all gristle and bone
So you like to think you know where its about
But she'll suck you in and then she'll blow you out
Yeah, Kate will keep you satisfied
Until your dying day
Yeah, let me hear some of that strong-arm music

Like A Hurricane (Neil Young)
Like A Hurricane
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded, hazy bar
dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moon beams
I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream
and you could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
that perfect feeling when time just slips away
between us and our foggy trips
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away
You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream
and you could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
that perfect feeling when time just slips away
between us and our foggy trips
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away

Composer(s): Appell; Mann
Performer(s): Bobby Rydell
Butterfly Baby, lookin' around
Flyin' like crazy, all over town
Oh you little Butterfly Baby, I'll hang around
Hopin' that maybe someday you'll settle down
When you're done and there's only one
Who will your honey be?
Hear my plea, won't you let it be me
it better be me!
Butterfly Baby, 'bout time you knew
I love you like crazy, I love only you
Oh you little Butterfly Baby when will you see
Butterfly Baby, oooo, you've got a trial with me
When you're done and there's only one
Who will your honey be?
Hear my plea won't you let it be
Me, it better be me!
Butterfly Baby, when you are free
You'll be my baby, ya, exclusively
Oh you little Butterfly Baby, then you will see
Butterfly Baby, oooo, you'll only fly with me
Wa-ooooo, wa-ooooo

Like A Hurricane (Marie Osmond)
Like A Hurricane
Composer(s): Michael Clark
Performer(s): Marie Osmond
Baby, the girls want to know about you
they want to know what you do to make me so crazy
'Cause lately, they see how I've turned around
my feet never touch the ground since you've been near me
They're asking "Is the boy really that hot?"
I tell them yes you are
"Can you tell us what the boy's got?"
Well, that's kind of hard
You see, it's not that easy
I know they wouldn't believe me....
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
After lovin' you.......
But baby, they didn't believe a word
they said that they've never heard of a boy like that
That maybe I was stretchin' out the truth
tryin' to take them for a fool with a story like that
They kept asking "Is the boy really that hot?"
I tell them yes you are
"Can you tell us what the boy's got?"
Well, that's kind of hard
You see, it's not that easy
I know they wouldn't believe me....
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
After lovin' you.......
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
'Cause you love me like a hurricane ...

Composer(s): Howard Barnes; Ralph Bernet;
Chuck Davidson; Danyel Gérard
Originally performed by: Danyel Gérard
Covered by various other artists
Fell in love in the wink of an eye
With the girl who was called Butterfly
She said she loved me so she could not let me go
But still I had to say goodbye
Butterfly my Butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly my Butterfly
Wait for me don't fly away
Never fly in the heat of the sun
Close your wings when the long day is done
Stay home and wait for me till I get back
And then counting the minutes one by one
Butterfly my Butterfly...
When a man longs to be free
He will sail to the end of the sea
I won't be gone too long but while I travel on
Just close your wings and wait for me
Butterfly my Butterfly...
Butterfly my Butterfly...

Lights
Composer(s): Steve Perry - Neal Schon
Performer(s): Journey
When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my City
Ooh, ooh.....
So you think you're lonely
Well my friend I'm lonely too
I want to get back to my City by the bay
Ooh, ooh.....
It's sad, oh there's been mornings out on the road without you
Without your charms
Ooh, my, my, my ...

Composer(s): Ralph Bernet; Danyel Gérard
Originally performed by: Danyel Gérard
Covered by various other artists
Tu me dis loin des yeux, loin du cœur
Tu me dis qu'on oublie le meilleur
Malgré les horizons,
Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais surnommée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
L'océan c'est petit, tout petit
Pour deux cœurs où l'amour a grandi
Malgré ce que tu dis,
Tu vois qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais enlacée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
Notre amour est si grand, oui si grand
Que le ciel y tiendrait tout dedans
Malgré ce que tu dis,
Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais embrassée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais

Lightning's Girl
Lightning's Girl
Composer(s): Lee Hazlewood
Performer(s): Nancy Sinatra; Lydia Lunch
I've told you that I'm Lightning's girl
But you keep hanging 'round
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to put you down
About six feet!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down...yeah
Better stop your grooving 'round
Another rooster's hen
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to do you in
In about two minutes!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Here comes Lightning down the street
While you just stand there talking
If I were you I'd start to move
And tell my story walking
About a hundred miles an hour!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l

You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true
Then you fly around with somebody new
But I'm crazy about you, you butterfly

Lightning Express
Lightning Express
Composer(s): Bradley Kincaid
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
and multiple other artists
The Lightning Express from the depot so grand
Had started out on its way
All of the passengers that were on board
Seemed to be happy and gay
But one little boy, who sat by himself
was reading a letter he had
You can plainly tell by the look on his face
that the contents of it made him sad
The stern old conductor then started his round
taking tickets from everyone there
And finally reaching the side of the boy
he gruffly demanded his fare
'I have no ticket,' the boy then replied
'but I'll pay you back, someday'
'Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make'
but he stopped when he heard the boy say
'Please Mr. Conductor, don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world, sir
is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment, sir
and may not live through the day
I want to reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'
A girl, sitting near, was heard to exclaim
'If you put him off, it's a shame!'
Taking his hat, a collection she made
The boy's way was paid on the train
'I'm obliged to you, miss
for your kindness to me'
'You're welcome,' she said, 'never fear'
Each time the conductor would pass through the car
The boy's words would ring in his ear
'Please Mr. Conductor, don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world, sir
is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment, sir
and may not live through the day
I want to reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'

Butterflies In The Rain
Butterflies In The Rain
Composer(s): Sherman Myers; Erell Reaves
Performer(s): Ray Noble & Al Bowlly
and various other artists
When the rain is pattering helter skelter
And the butterflies are caught out in the rain
Leafy hollyhocks would murmur come and shelter
Until the rainbow shines again
In the heart of every roses apron
From the pitter patter pitter pat refrain
There's protection from the showers
From the sympathetic flowers
For the butterflies in the rain
Pretty things, you'll have to fold your wings
Waiting for the bright and placid sun showers
`Neath the broad protection of the sunflowers
Gone the rain, the sky is clear again
You can carry on your sweet flirtation
With every blushing rose

Lightnin' Strikes
Lightnin' Strikes
Composer(s): Lou Christie - Twyla Herbert
First release by: Lou Christie - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Listen to me, baby, you got to understand
You're old enough to know the makings of a man
Listen to me, baby, it's hard to settle down
Am I asking too much for you to stick around
Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you
Won't you wait but 'til then
When I see lips beggin' to be kissed (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again
Nature's takin' over my one-track mind
Believe it or not, you're in my heart all the time
All the girls are sayin' that you'll end up a fool
For the time being, baby, live by the rules
When I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I'll make up for all lost time
If she's put together fine and she's readin' my mind (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again
There's a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us around the bend
Picture in your mind
Love forever, but 'til then
If she gives me a sign that she wants to make time (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again

Performer(s): Michael Jackson
Butterflies
Butterfly fly
All you gotta do is just walk away and pass me by
Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all you gotta do is not answer my calls when I'm tryin' to get through
Keep me wondering why when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch you
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
`Cause you give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
All I gotta say is that I must be dreamin', can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel you near to me, near
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful, listen
I would give you anything, baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh, baby, you give me butterflies
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
`Cause you give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
`Cause you give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
If you would take my hand, baby, I will show you
Guide you to the light, baby
If you would be my love, baby I will love you, love you
Till the end of time
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
`Cause you give me butterflies inside
Inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
Said I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside

Een Vrouw Naar M'n Hart
Een Vrouw Naar M'n Hart ((aka Trouwen, M'n Zoon, Moet Je Zeker Niet Doen (Paul Severs) - 1995))
((Adapted from: Bachelor Boy (Cliff Richard) - 1962))
Composer(s): Cliff Richard - Bruce Welch - Daniel Ditmar
Performer(s): Luc Steeno - 2002
Eeuwig op zoek naar die vrouw uit mijn droom
Die ik nog altijd niet vond
Tot ik het beu was - werd ik plots beloond
Kwam zij die niet bestond
En ik zei jij
jij bent de vrouw naar m'n hart
Op jou heb ik gewacht
Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur
Voor jou ga ik door vuur
Zoals jij praat,zo rechttoe,zo rechtaan
Die sproeten op haar neus
Lach op haar monden,die ogen zo klaar
Niet stout maar ook niet preuts
Dus ik zei jij
Jij bent een vrouw naar m'n hart
Op jou heb ik gewacht
Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur
Voor jou ga ik door vuur
Nog geen minuut heb ik spijt van die keer
Waarop zij zo plots voor me stond
Waar zij voorgoed in mijn leven verscheen
En 't geluk voor ons beiden begon
Want ik zei jij
Jij bent een vrouw naar m'n hart
Op jou heb ik gewacht
Jij,jij bent zo rechtdoor, zo puur
Voor jou ga ik door vuur

Originally performed by: Tommy Steele
Butterfingers, I let you go
But love still lingers, why I don't know
For that short moment you were with me
I never knew your worth
Tho' I lost you, please forgive me
Now I've come down to earth
Butterfingers is waiting for
Something to bring us together once more
And when that happens
I'm gonna hold you
In my loving arms and then
I won't have butterfingers again
And when that happens
I'm gonna hold you
In my loving arms and then
I won't have butterfingers again

Lighthouse Keeper
Composer(s): Erika Eigen
Performer(s): Sunforest
I want to marry a lighthouse keeper and keep him company
I want to marry a lighthouse keeper and live by the side of the sea
I'll polish his lamp by the light of day

Won't that be okay
We'll take walks along the moonlit bay
Maybe find a treasure too
I'd love living in a lighthouse
How about you?
I dream of living in a lighthouse, baby, every single day
I dream of living in a lighthouse, a white one by the bay
So if you want to make my dreams come true
Go be a lighthouse keeper, do
We could live in a lighthouse, a white one by the bay-ay-hay
Won't that be okay
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta!
