Tell Mama


Tell Mama
Composer(s): Raymond Simmonds
Performer(s): Savoy Brown



Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
Packed my bags, run to the station
Board the train thats eastward bound

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone
Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

Nothing to do, thats why I had to go
Seemed no use in hanging round
I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand
Board the train thats eastward bound

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone
Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone
Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

My Kind Of Girl


My Kind Of Girl
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Matt Monro
and various other artists



She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
And her hair has a kind of curl
To my mind shes my kind of girl

Shes wise like an angel's wise
With eyes like an angel's eyes
And her smile's like a kind of pearl
To my mind shes my kind of girl

Pretty little face
That face just knocks me off-a my feet
Pretty little feet
Shes really sweet enough to eat

She looks like an angel looks
She even cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

Pretty little face
That face just knocks me off-a my feet
Pretty little feet
Shes really sweet enough to eat

She looks like an angel looks
She even cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

And my heart's kinda filled with joy
Because she told me I'm her kind of boy

Goody Two Shoes


Goody Two Shoes
Composer(s): Adam Ant; Marco Pirroni
Performer(s): Adam & The Ants;
Danny Dean & The Homewreckers; The Starlite Singers



With the heartbreak open so much you can't hide
Put on a little make up
make - up

Make sure they get your good side
good side
If the words unspoken get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token
token
write it on a pound note
pound note
Goody Two
Goody Two
Goody-Goody Two Shoes
Goody Two
Goody Two
Goody-Goody Two Shoes
You don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?
You don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?
The subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside
We don't follow fashion that would be a joke
You know we're gonna set them
set them

So evr'yone can take note
take note
When I saw you kneeling crying words that you mean
Opening the eye-balls
eye-balls
Pretending that you're Al Green
Al Green
Goody-Two
Goody-Two
Goody-Goody Two Shoes . . .
No one's gonna tell me what's wrong and what's right

Or tell me who to eat with
sleep with
Or foul up on the big fight
big fight
Look out or they will tell you you're a super star
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far
If the word's unspoken get stuck in your throat . . .
Don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do? . .
Don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?
Don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?
Don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?

Ne Me Splitte Pas


Ne Me Splitte Pas
((Adapted from: Ne Me Quitte Pas (Simone Langlois) - 1959))
Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Hugo Poliart

Bronvermelding: http://www.13lignes.be (22 januari 2011)



Ne me splitte pas
Il faut négocier
Tout peut s'négocier
Qui s'enfuit déjà?
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
À savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
À coups de pourquoi
Le conciliateur
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas...

Moi je t'offrirai
Des tas de compromis
Un nouveau pays
Où on ne chôme pas
Je te laisserai des terres, et la Mer du Nord
Si on peut encore, y boire une bonne bière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l'emploi sera à toi
La sécu sera à moi
Mais on gardera la Reine
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas...

Ne me splitte pas
Je te rédigerai
Des notes insensées
Que tu approuveras
Je te parlerai
De ces partis-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leur score augmenter
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu se reposer
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas...

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
D'un gouvernement
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des têtes brûlées
Prêtes à négocier
Jusqu'au mois d'avril
Mais quand je lis Le Soir
Avec Jan Bucquoy
Le rouge, jaune et noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas?
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas

Ne me splitte pas
Je ne veux plus voter
Je n'vais plus me raser
Je me cacherai là
À te regarder
Parler et sourire
Dans ma petite télé
Pour éviter le pire
Je veux bien grandir
Te tendre la main
Apprendre le latin
Et l'apprendre à mon chien
Mais Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas...

Tell Lorrie I Love Her


Tell Lorrie I Love Her
Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Jeff Barry - Keith Whitley
Performer(s): Keith Whitley



If I were alone in the desert
Without a drink of water around
On my knees and hands in that white, scorching sand
With the hot Sahara sun beating down
If I could be granted my wishes
If anything I want could come true
I know that it might sound funny
But here's what I'd want you to do

Tell Lorrie I love her
Tell Lorrie I need her
Tell her everything would be okay
If I could just see her
Tell Lorrie I love her
Tell Lorrie I need her
If I leave this old world
Tell her she's the only girl for me

If I were adrift on the ocean
A vessel with no sails or steam
Floating aimlessly on and endless sea
Hopelessly lost it would seem
If all of the fish in the water
Could echo my last dying plea
I know you might not understand it
But here's what I'd want it to be

Tell Lorrie I love her
Tell Lorrie I need her
Tell her everything would be okay
If I could just see her
Tell Lorrie I love her
Tell Lorrie I need her
If I leave this old world
Tell her she's the only girl for me

If I leave this old world
Tell her she's the only girl for me

My Isle Of Golden Dreams


My Isle Of Golden Dreams
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Blaufuss
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



Out of the mist lips I have kissed call tenderly
Out of the west, hands I have pressed beckon to me
Over the sea waiting for me lonely and blue
Somebody sighs, somebody cries, I love you, I love you

Drifting in dreams, drifting it seems back to the shore
Where hand in hand over the sand we'll stroll once more
Heart of my heart, we'll never part, I hear her say
But with the dawn my dreams have gone astray

I hear the voice of my land
A-callin' me it seems
Those fair Hawaiian islands
My isle of golden dreams

I hear the voice of my land
A-callin' me it seems
Those fair Hawaiian islands
My isle of golden dreams

Goody Goody


Goody Goody
Composer(s): Matty Malneck; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Julie London;
and various other artists



So you met someone who set you back on your heels - goody goody
So you met someone and now you know how it feels - goody goody
So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do

So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night - goody goody
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah, you had it coming to ya
Goody goody for him - goody goody for me
And I hope you're satisfied you rascal you!

Hey Didier


Hey Didier
Composer(s): Bjorn Raes
Performer(s): Miek Sleurs; Tricolors



Non non, non non non non non, non non non non non
Het land weer plat
Voor de vijfde keer, we zijn het zat, echt zat
’t Ligt niet eens aan Madame Non
Maar ’t ligt aan BHV
Trop da’s echt teveel
Monsieur Leterme
Merci voor het verdelen van ons land, ons land
Doe iets met uw geiten, stop met sorry en verwijten
Word aartsbisschop misschien

Zo kan het niet verder, Albert zoekt echt een herder
Ons land dat wordt steeds armer, ook de burger weet dat wel
Ook Johan begreep dat niet, die zag alleen maar paarden, met hele grote dorst

Kom Didierke, los het nu toch op man
En wacht niet op Genez
Oh Didier, quel est le problème
Didier notre nouveau premier
Non non, non non non non non, non non non non non
Want geef nu toe
We zijn het allemaal toch oh zo moe, ook jij
We weten allemaal, politiek da’s theater
Maar niemand verwachtte deze komedie
On a peur, notre Belgique est si petit, oh si petit
Tu peux reconstruire, mais plus vite serait pas mal
Il y a vraiment des meilleur choses que ce titre mondial

Zo kan het niet verder, Albert zoekt echt een herder
Ons land dat wordt steeds armer, ook de burger weet dat wel
Ook Johan begreep dat niet, die zag alleen maar paarden, met hele grote dorst

Zo kan het niet verder, Albert zoekt echt een herder
Ons land dat wordt steeds armer, ook de burger weet dat wel
Ook Johan begreep dat niet, die zag alleen maar paarden, met hele grote dorst

My Ideal


My Ideal
Composer(s): Newell Chase; Leo Robin; Richard A. Whiting
Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey



Will I ever find the boy in my mind
The one who is my ideal?
Maybe he’s a dream, and yet he might be
Just around the corner waiting for me
Will I recognise the light in his eyes
That no other eyes reveal?
Or will I pass him by
And never even know that he is my ideal?

Or maybe he’s a dream, and yet he might be
Just around the corner waiting for me

Will I recognise the light in his eyes
That no other eyes reveal?
Although he may be late
I trust in fate, and so I wait for my ideal
I wait for my ideal

With all my heart I pray everything is all right
Wherever you are goodnight

Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do, that cannot wait

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

And in the chapel where Laura prays
For Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her...

Composer(s): Russell Alquist; Chad Stuart
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



Each time I leave you, it's like a lifetime
Is there a reason why
But when I'm near to hold you
My how the time goes by

I don't remember what time the clock said
Don't even want to try
You say it's past your bedtime
My how the time goes by

I know I'm gonna hate it leaving you
Where did the hours fly
I really don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh my, oh my

Kiss me again, girl, kiss me and then, girl
Kiss me a last goodbye
Wish I could stay forever
My how the time goes by

I know I'm gonna hate it leaving you
Where did the hours fly
I really don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh my, oh my

Kiss me again, girl, kiss me and then, girl
Kiss me a last goodbye
Wish I could stay forever
My how the time goes by

Wish I could stay forever
My how the time goes
My how the time goes

One kiss and we'll part
And you'll be going
You know I hate to see you go

Tommy my sweetheart is gone now
He's up in heaven somewhere
So little star high above
If you see Tommy tell him of my love

Tell Tommy I love him
Tell Tommy I miss him
Tell him though I may try
My love for him will never die

He drove his car in that stockcar race
To win money so we could wed
He wanted so much to make me his wife
Now our love lives on though he lost his life

I'm so lonely without him near
Oh, how I miss his warm embrace
I'll love no other I want him to know
Oh, little star please tell him so

Tell Tommy I love him
Tell Tommy I miss him
Tell him though I may try
My love for him will never die

Although he wanted to give me the world
Why did he do such a reckless thing
Little star he should have realized
I was richer than a queen when he looked into my eyes

Tell Tommy I love him
Tell Tommy I miss him
Tell him though I may try
My love for him will never die

Tell Tommy I miss him
Tell Tommy I miss him...

My Honeymoon Man


My Honeymoon Man
Composer(s): Lucille M. Sanford; H. Williams



When the night comes softly creeping
and the big bright moon a peeping
Honey moon man, my honey man
down on me his eyes are winking
as with ardent love he's blinking
Honey moon man, my honey man
does he love me true
I wonder on this thought
I often ponder as into his starry eyes I gaze and sigh all night long
I am so lonely 'cause I want you and you only
My honey moon man, my honey man

When the shades of night are falling
can you hear my heart a calling
Honey moon man, my honey man?
It is now the time of wooing
It is now such hearts are cooing
Honey moon man, my honey man
Down thro' lovers lane they're strolling
while the evening bells are tolling and I'm sad at heart
as on their joys I gaze
come to me love with caresses
hold me close and smooth my tresses
My honey moon man, my honey man

My honey moon man
My honey moon man
Won't you come down here to me
while the stars are shining for you I'm pining
I want to sit right on your knee
every thing's asleeping
all the crickets gone to rest
while I wait my heart goes out to you
come down I'm lonely
I want you only
I want you now
My honey moon man

Goodnight, My Someone
Composer(s): Meredith Willson

Goodnight, my someone, goodnight, my love
Sleep tight, my someone, sleep tight, my love
Our star is shining its brightest light
For goodnight, my love, for goodnight

Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight

True love can be whispered from heart to heart
When lovers are parted they say
But I must depend on a wish and a star
As long as my heart doesn't know who you are

Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight

Goodnight! Goodnight!

Tony e Laura si amavano
e lui voleva dare a lei
oltre l'amore
le cose che
la vita aveva negato a lui
Con la chitarra e con il suo amor
una canzone le dedico
in un teatro si presento
la loro storia
a tutti voi canto
dite a Laura che l'amo
e che devo partire
ma sei mi aspetterà
quel giorno sarà
per sempre mia
E la fortuna sorrise a lui
gente applausi chilometri
ma la fatica non sentiva mai
perché pensava sempre a lei
Ma una notte correndo da lei
ad una curva il destino lo fermo
e quando lo trovarono
lui mormoro fino all'ultimo cosi
dite a Laura che l'amo
non le dite che soffro
stasera tarderò
ma appena potrò ritornerò
Ora Laura e sola
ma non lo può dimenticar
la sua voce e ancora la
e con quel disco
lui sempre le dirà
tell Laura i love her
tell Laura i need her
tell Laura not to cry
my love for her
will never die!
tell Laura i love her
tell Laura i need her
tell Laura not to cry
my love for her
will never die!
Dite a Laura che l'amo
Non le dite che soffro
Ma se mi aspetterà
Quel giorno sarà
Per sempre mia?

My Home's In Alabama


My Home's In Alabama
Composer(s): Theodore Gentry; Randy Owen
Performer(s): Alabama



Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night

Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand
why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away
to some other guitar picker in some other late night place

Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away
took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A.
Up to New York City, all across the USA
I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)

..home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred

What keeps me goin'? I don't really know
can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke
could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
when the people really love ya and let you know when it's good

Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
