Sitting On Top Of The World (The Pogues)
Sitting On Top Of The World
Composer(s): Jem Finer; James Fearnley; Terry Woods
Performer(s): The Pogues
Well it's been a long day but I don't like to moan
It's the middle of summer and I'm chilled to the bone
THere's holes in my shoes where the rain comes in
I'm sitting on top of the world
Walking in the shadows of empty office blocks
I was talking to a stranger and he's on the rocks
Down on the pavement living in a box
I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no can't anybody see
It's been a bad day and I want a little peace
Oh no won't you please help me
I want to lie down but there's no beds free
Down on the corner there's starry eyed preachers
Rattling cans and pimping Jesus
There's madmen on boxes makig speeches
I'm sitting on top of the world
You can't sit in the sunshine or go out after dark
There's dogs on the loose acting like sharks
There's psychos on the streets burning winos in the park
I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no I wish I was gone
I want to get going before too long
Oh no I want to leave town
But I can't drive my car 'cause they put it in the pound
The masters of industry are killing for oil
There's poison in the air the water and the soil
We're all turning mutant they're counting up their spoils
I'm sitting on top of the world
I turn on the TV and it makes me want to cry
There's killing and there's torture there's destruction and there's lies
And our leaders talk rubbish and more people die
I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no I can't take anymore
I'm shaking all over and my nerves are all raw
Oh no my head's a little sore
I want to get out but I can't find the door

If you need assistance - or if all you need is love
there's no point in hiding - tell me what your frieghtened of
You've got a friend just look at yourself
Don't be afraid just look at yourself
Look back and turn back - look at yourself
Don't be afraid just look at yourself

Sitting On Top Of The World (Mississippi Sheiks)
Sitting On Top Of The World
Composer(s): Walter Vinson
First release by: Mississippi Sheiks - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists
Was all the summer, and all the fall
Just trying to find my little all in all
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
An' you come runnin', holdin' up your hand
Can't get me a woman, cranky you can get a man
But now you're gone, and now I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry or cry in vain
But now she's gone, now I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Went to the station, down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train, worked and got to home
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me oh say goodbye
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Performer(s): Alice Cooper
You got your crust
Turning my daydreams into dust
Oh look at you over there ripping the sawdust from my teddy bear
Yeah look at you over there ripping the sawdust from my teddy bear

Oh look at you over there ripping the sawdust from my teddy bear

You make Santa's reindeer look like cattle
You take Tinkerbells rust, turn it into sawdust

Turning my daydreams into dust

Retour (Henri Dès)
Retour
Composer(s): Henri Dès
First performance by: Henri Dès - 1970
Toi qui m'attends au moins toutes les nuits
Et moi qui prends le train pour l'Italie
J'y resterai dix jours, ni trop long ni trop court
C'est un peu loin, je sais, mais tiens-toi bien
À mon retour, j'aurai, dans un écrin
Les photographies de mes p'tites amies
Et l'Italie vaudra bien quelques nuits
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Toi qui as l'âme sœur mieux qu'une sœur
Et moi qui joue carreau avec ton cœur
Je me fais l'affaire, pour les Angleterres
C'est un peu loin, je sais, mais tiens-toi bien
À mon retour, j'aurai, dans un écrin
Deux-trois galipettes et quelques bouclettes
Et ta douleur vaudra bien mon ardeur
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Toi qui donnes l'amour mieux qu'une mère
Et moi qui fais le sourd, comme on prend l'air
J'pars à la conquête de toutes les minettes
Ça n'est pas rien, je sais, mais tiens-toi bien
À mon retour, j'aurai, dans un écrin
Une grande expérience, tu peux m'faire confiance
Et notre amour vaudra bien un détour
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Toi qui fermes les yeux sur mon absence
Toi qui parles si peu, toi la clémence
Je sais qu'entre toutes, au bout de mes routes
Je garderai pour toi, au fond du cœur
Une place de choix, comme une fleur
Et puis une bagouse, qui f'ra des jalouses
Et ton amour vaudra bien mon retour
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...

Look At Us
Look At Us
Composer(s): Max D. Barnes - Vince Gill
Performer(s): Vince Gill
Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other
If you want to see
How true love should be
then just look at us
Look at you
Still pretty as a picture
look at me
Still crazy over you
Look at us
Still believin' in forever
Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other
In a hundred years from now
I know without a doubt
They'll all look back and wonder how
We made it all work out
Chances are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
They'll just look at us

Sitting On A Cloud
Sitting On A Cloud
Composer(s): Ralph Butler; Noel Gay
Performer(s): Leslie Douglas; Jack Simpson & His Sextette
I’m sitting on a cloud that’s silver lined
Feeling in a joyful frame of mind
Through the blue I see a view
A lovely world where dreams come true
I’m living in a dream the whole day long
Singing to myself a cheer-up song
A peaceful mind, my cares behind
I’m on a cloud that’s silver lined
Let me tell you right away
Exactly how I get this way
Why I’m happy, why I’m gay
Here’s the why, because today
I’m sitting on a cloud, I don’t know where
But as it’s silver lined, well I don’t care
Here’s all I want to do
Go sitting on a cloud with you

Look At The Wood
Look At The Wood
Composer(s): Grace Slick - Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner
Look at the wood and the way he carves it
Must have taken him years
I asked him the price and he said it was free
And I couldn't believe my ears
Tell me old man how long have you lived
To have such amazing talent
I'm twenty years short of a century
And the best years are in the balance
As a baby his mother had fed him frogs
And a wide assortment of lizards
It made him tough and wise and strange
And gave him the mind of a wizard
He had a new woman every five years
Faithful to each in her turn
They gave him children and time to smile
And he showed them all the love they could learn
The man had love to burn
Now he's lived his life and he'll live it again
Thru one more gentle soul
You'll know him by his smile and his fork held high
He'll be dining on toads and moles
Look at the wood and the way he carves it
Look at the sun, the golden harvest
Must have taken him years

That Heart Belongs To Me
That Heart Belongs To Me
Composer(s): Webb Pierce
Performer(s): Webb Pierce - 1952
and multiple other artists
There are so many flirty guys with flirty flirty ways
And I'm so afraid that they will steal your heart some day
But don't don't let 'em darlin', 'cause you belong to me
Oh, don't ever let them make you think your heart is fancy free
Don't, don't let 'em darlin', 'cause you belong to me
They'll tell you that I trifle and that you should do the same
They'll tell you that they need your love, so why not make the change
But don't don't do it darlin', that heart belongs to me
Oh, please don't let them blind you, I still love you can't you see
Don't, don't let 'em darlin', that heart belongs to me
They'll offer you a mansion, ask you when you'll be their queen
So they can give you riches, make your life a happy dream
But don't don't let 'em darlin', that dream belongs to me
Oh, sure they'll try to buy your love with riches such as these
But don't don't let 'em darlin', that heart belongs to me

Look At That, Look At That
Look At That, Look At That
Composer(s): Kim Wilson - Jimmie Vaughan - Fran Christina - Preston Hubbard
Performer(s): The Fabulous Thunderbirds
Went to a party on Saturday night
Lookin' real cool and dressed just right
Saved my money every week
Just could not spend it on those fine chicks
(Got) Gotta my car and (walked) in the door
You know (just) what I was lookin' for
Look at that blonde in the redskin tights
Don't go with her she's the one that bites
A fine, fine thing in a short short skirt
She ain't attached and she likes to flirt
A whole lotta woman is where it's at
Hey now boys will you just look at that
I don't know which way to turn
Every way I look my eyeballs burn
Short gals, tall gals skinny and fat
Look at that, look at that, look at that, look at that
See them twins in fishnet hose
I'll take either one or both of those
Sally over there still long and lean
She's got the key to my lovin' machine
All these girls are lookin' just right
At a hip-shakin' party on a Saturday night

Waterman
Waterman
Composer(s): Pieter Goemans
First performance by: The Hearts Of Soul - 1970
Waterman, ben jij een waterman?
Dan past jou sterrenbeeld bij mij
Intuïtief, heb ik je nu al lief
't Is net of jij, eenvoudig hoort bij mij
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Sterrenbeeld, dat niet met harten speelt
Maar mensen helpen wil, altijd
Jij kent gewoon, geen ruwe heerserstoon
Jij zoekt altijd, naar warme menselijkheid
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Die altijd fair bent
Altijd trouw en solidair bent
Maar ook vaak zo goedgelovig
En voor slechtheid ietwat dovig
Soms zo ernstig, haast verlegen
maar oneindig toegenegen
Waterman

Look At That Girl
Look At That Girl
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Frankie Vaughan; Guy Mitchell
Look at the girl, she's like a dream come true
Oh look at that girl, can blue eyes be so blue
Look at the way she walks, listen when she talks
With each word my heart just skips
Oh if I could kiss those lips
Mmmm
Look at that girl, you see what I see
Look at that girl, she's walking straight to me
That's right, last night I held her tight
It happens all the time
I look at that girl, and I can't believe she's mine
Oho, I'm in a whirl whenever that girl appears
Look at that smile, look at that style,
I would go most any place
Just to see that lovely face
Yes my sweetie's come back to me
What can I say to show you the way I feel
When she's with me you're sure to see
A twinkle in my eye
Just look at that girl and you'll know the reason why
Look at that girl, you see what I see
Hey! Look at that girl, she's walking straight to me
That's right, last night I held her tight
It happens all the time
Ain't she a vision of satin and lace
I'm seeing angels all over the place
I look at that girl, and I can't believe she's mine

Kuin Silloin Ennen
Kuin Silloin Ennen
First performance by: Jarkko & Laura - 1969
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki yhtä hyvin taas
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki hyvin taas
Taas tunnen uudestaan kuin silloin ennen
Kuin eilispäivää ollutkaan ei ois
Nyt luokses tulla saan kuin silloin ennen
Ja tiedän, etten lähde koskaan pois
Silmät loistaa sun - vain sen, en enempää mä nää
Sydän toistaa mun, sen minkä livertää
Tuo sinirinta satakieli
Kaikki taas on niin kuin silloin ennen
Ja toivoa en muuta enää vois
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki yhtä hyvin taas
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki hyvin taas
Kaikki taas on niin kuin silloin ennen
Ja toivoa en muuta enää vois
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki yhtä hyvin taas
Kuin silloin ennen, silloin ennen
Silloin ennen, on kaikki hyvin taas

Look At Me Now
Look At Me Now
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
Someone is waithing lurking in the trees
The spirit of her is walking back to me
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
The King of the castle brought her to her knees
Gave the Salvation Army girl a squeeze
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Now she's a sallow face
Scattering her lace - on dewy ground
Ah, I keep searching my head
Now it's spinning around
Lifting her head her countenance redeemed
Re-acted the murder by the silver stream
Ah look at me now displaying emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now so cold and yet so brave
Weave me some wings to take me to her grave
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now

Seven Horses In The Sky
(Dutch Version: 7 Paarden Op De Vlucht - 2003)
Composer(s): Fred Beekmans; Bob Baelemans; Hugo Hubert
Performer(s): The Pebbles - 1968
Got seven horses racing in the sky, yeah
Wich is way too high
Smell of ozone in the air
Jockey, jockey, why ain't you up there?
Hear the clatter of their hoofs
Exploding all around
Hidden in a ditch, I really do admire their fidget
Please don't make them look at me
Got purple horses running in a green pouring sky
Try the heat of their breath, forget the feeling being trampled down
I'll bet you ten to one, you're just too scared to have a try
Search the open field, take a poker in your hand
You'll see they're such a gastronomes!
Seven horses in the sky
Seven horses passing by
Seven horses won't get tired
See how they running
See how they running hasty
See how they running
See how they running way up high
They don't need no feed
The only feed they need
Is my skin to heat
Pa - pa - pa - pa .......
I've got to hear them all around

When our clouds will pass away
And you'll be mine, again I'll pray
I really love you and I want you to know
I'm thinkin' of you, girl, everywhere I go
Look at me, girl
Please don't turn away when I say
That I long to see the day
When our clouds will pass away
And you'll be mine, again I'll pray
