Calle Schewens Vals
Calle Schewens Vals
Composer(s): Evert Taube
Performer(s): Evert Taube; Anders Lundin
On Roslagen´s isle, in a flowery bay
Where ripples wash in from the sea
The reeds slowly rock, and the sweet new-mown hay
Is wafting its fragrance to me
There I sit alone ´mid the trees by the way
And gaze at the sea-birds on high
They dive to the water with glitter of spray
And feed, while I watch them and sigh
I´m mixing my coffee quite freely with rum
To a strength and a flavour just right!
The accordion's measures alluringly come
From my cabin so gaily alight
I feel like a boy, though a granddad am I
My spirit my grey hair belies
I only get worse as the years pass me by
With waltzes and maidens´ bright eyes
Look – there is a gull with a fish he has caught
But I´m caught by arms soft and white!
My heart is so happy, my years are as naught
Then play, for I´m dancing to-night!
The sea sends a song, and its fragrance the glade
To-night you must stay as my guest
Here dances Calle Scheven with Roslagen´s maid
The sunset is in the Northwest
My flowery isle on your bosom you hold
You tranquil and darkling blue seas!
While June twilight shadows so tender, enfold
All the slumbering bushes and trees
You're dancing so quietly, sweet little miss
I think that all men you despise
It trembles, that small childish hand that I kiss
While in minor the waltz softly dies
But hey, all you fellows who visit my bay
I´m really a sober old man
When morning has come I must stack up my hay
And catch all the fish that I can!
The deuce take you, twilight; the morn you disclose
In firtops agleam one by one
Here dances Calle Scheven with Roslagen´s rose
He dances while up comes the sun!

Family Tradition
Family Tradition
Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.;
and various other artists
Country music singers
have always been a real close family
but lately some of my kin folks
have disowned a few others and me
I guess it's because
I kinda changed my direction
I guess I went and broke the family tradition
they get on me wanna know Hank
why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
over and over
everybody made my prediction
so if I get stoned
I'm just carryin'
on an old family tradition
I am very proud
of my daddys name
although his kinda music
and mine ain't exactly the same
stop and think it over
put yourself in my position
if I get stoned and sing all night long
it's a family tradition
Don't ask me Hank
why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a Honky-Tonk
Some ol' slicks tryin to give me corrections
I'll say leave me alone
I'm singin all night long
it's a family tradition
Lordy, I have loved some ladies
and I have loved Jim Beam
and they both tried to kill me
in 1973
when that doctor asked me
Son how did you get in this condition
I said hey sawbones I'm just carryin on
an old family tradition
So don't ask me Hank
why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs you wrote?
Stop and think it over
Try and put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long
It's a family tradition!

The Animal Trainer And The Toad
The Animal Trainer And The Toad
Composer(s): Leslie West - Sue Palmer
Performer(s): Mountain
For many a year I was so confused
and didnt know what to play
But then I met a man who picked up his horn
and showed me just what to say
He was skinny and lean and he kept himself clean
and he knew how to write them tunes
Then came a day when we started to play
And you know we conquered the moon
I'm in a band
A rock and roll band
I'm in a band
We called him Beethoven and then we showed them
exactly where we wanted to go
So we started a band and toured all the land
A-rakin' in all of that dough
We smoked a few cigs and we played a few gigs
and never missed nearly a one
We covered the States and we hit the Great Lakes
And boy, did we have us some fun
I'm in a band
A rock and roll band
I'm in a band
We had an idea so we put it in gear
and soon we were out on the road
We did it to play and they started to say
The Animal Trainer and the Toad

Calle Latina
Calle Latina
Performer(s): José Feliciano
El sol quedo dibujado sobre la esquina
la noche se fue a dormir con la luna clara
la gente va despertando de la rutina
mi calle latina empieza a mostrar la cara
Gentes de todas partes
de mi América inmortal
mosaico de piel morena
que sabe a fiesta y a carnaval
Gente que está orgullosa
de nuestra música y de nuestra raza
calle que baila al ritmo
mi rica cumbia, merengue y salsa
Soy latino, como tu
Orgulloso como tu
Calle latina, calle latina
barrio que aprende, jamás olvida
Calle latina, calle latina
I love my salsa, I love mi esquina

Performer(s): The O'Jays - 1975;
and various other artists
It's so nice to see
All the folks you love together
Sittin' and talkin' 'bout
All the things that's been goin' down
It's been a long, long time
Since we had a chance to get together
Nobody knows the next time we see each other
Maybe years and years from now
Family reunion {Got to have}
A family reunion
Family reunion
{It's so nice to come together} To come together
{To get together}
I wish grandma could see
The whole family
I sure miss her face
And her warm and tender embrace
And if grandpa was here
I know he'd be smiling for me a tear
To see what he has done
All the offsprings from his daughters and sons
A family reunion (Gonna have)
A family reunion (Ooh, ooh)
Family reunion
(It's so nice to come together) To come together
(To get together)
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
At least once a year we should have
Family reunion
A family reunion (We need to do it for the young )
Family reunion
(It'll be nice, it'll be nice to come together) To come together
To get together
Family reunion (Sister knows, heaven knows)
A family reunion (It's good to see you)
Family reunion (I said we are sinkin' hands, makin' plans)
(Maybe next year) To come together (Maybe next year)
A family reunion (Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...)
A family reunion {We gotta have, we gotta have}
Family reunion (It'll be nice, it'll be so nice)
(To come together) To come together
(To get together)
You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today
Now let's take a look at the family
In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director
Not domineering, but showing love, guidance
For everyone else in the family
Now if we could get all the fathers of the world
To stand up and be fathers
That would be great
Then we have mothers
Who are the right arm of the father
There's supposed to-to-to do the cooking
Raise the children, do the sewing
And help the father to guide and direct
Then there's the son
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
So we're back again to the father
And he is guiding in the right way
The son is definitely gonna be alright
Then we have the daughter
Watching her mother
Be-because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother
And she'll have her own sons and daughters
It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or
Of-of yours or mine
It's a universal family
Under one divine purpose
And one divine father
That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed
Because that's all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not
'Cause you'll bleed
Hoo...
Family, family reunion
It'll be nice, so nice, so nice

Christmas In New Orleans
Composer(s): Dick Sherman - Joe Van Winkle
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong
and multiple other artists
Magnolia trees at night, sparkling bright
Fields of cotton look wintery white
When it's Christmastime in New Orleans
A barefoot choir in prayer fills the air
Mississippi folks gathering there
'Cause it's Christmastime in New Orleans
You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band to a good old Creole beat
Golly what a spirit, you can only hear it
Down on Basin Street
Your kids will disappear, when you hear
Hallelujah, St. Nicholas is here
When it's Christmastime in New Orleans
You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus
A-leading the band to a good, good old Creole beat
And golly what a spirit, and you can only hear it
A-down on Basin Street
Your kids will disappear, and when you hear
Hallelujah, old Santa is near
When it's Christmastime in New Orleans
Yes, when it's Christmastime
When it's Christmastime in New Orleans

Performer(s): Adam & The Ants
a lot of people in this great big-world
say "love everybody"
a lot of people busy busy busy busy busy
being very modern
chorus:
but the family of noise is here
and it's come to save everybody
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save you and me
it goes:
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save everybody
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save you and me
a lot of people in the ancient world
they loved only quiet
and then along came the machine
and a new direction
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save everybody
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save you and me
it goes:
in the morning
last thing at night
in the darkness
standing in the light
a lot of people in this great big world
just searching for the "pure" sound
they're just looking to the machine
they don't listen to the noise
the family of noise is here
and it's come to save you and me

Call The Doctor
Call The Doctor
Composer(s): J.J. Cale
Performer(s): J.J. Cale
and multiple other artists
Somebody call for the doctor, I think I’m sick
Ain’t had my medicine in over a week
My mind’s fine but my body feels weak
Call the doctor, I think I’m sick
A shady lady took all my bread
Ravished my body, lord, and messed with my head
I don’t know but I’ve had my fill
Call the doctor and tell him I’m ill
My money’s gone and I’ve got no place to go
I don’t believe I’ve ever felt so low
If you’ve got the time while you hang around
Call the doctor and tell him I’m down

Family Doctor
Family Doctor
Composer(s): James Griffin; Robb Royer
Performer(s): Bread
Went to my family doctor
For a pain inside my head
Told him that since you left me
I was feelin' like just about dead
Doctor, what can you give me
And should I take one or two
Can you tell me just what it's gonna do
Will it save me from what I'm goin' through
Will it ease the pain
Will it ease the pain
Will it help to pacify my brain
He told me not to worry
He said to come back next week
He asked me for a picture
Of the girl who made me lose my sleep
Well, all week long I suffered
Didn't know what to do
But went back to him when the week was
Through
And he gave me an artificial you
And it eased the pain
Yes, it eased the pain
It completely satisfied my brain

I need me a destination
I ain't the kinda cat's gon' just jump in his car an' drive
I'm usin' my transportation
so then when am I going to arrive?

the American in me
and I guess it's just
the way I'm apt to be
and I guess it's just
they're stoppin' me out on the freeway
'n they ask of me what I do and where I'm bound
I used to get a lot more leeway
hey, well, now I get a lot more down
and I guess it's just
the American in me
and I guess it's just
the way I'm apt to be
and I guess it's just
the off ramp backed up miles today
and the carbon fumes
were drifting towards the sky
the sky began to cry
and the thunder booms
an' I'm back once again on the car lot
an' I ain't even paid for that thing I drove up in yet
well, I might make a trade an' I might not
but I know I'll remain in debt

Family Affair
Family Affair
Composer(s): Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart
Performer(s): Steve Winwood
It's a family affair ....
One child grows up to be somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be someone who needs concern
Mother loves both of them, you see it's in the blood
Father loves both of them, blood's thicker than the mud
It's a family affair ....
Newly-wed a year ago, still checkin' each other out
Nobody wants to blow, nobody wants to be left out
You can't leave cos your heart is there
But you can't stay cos you been somewhere else
You can't cry cos you look broke down
But you cry anyway cos you're all broke down
It's a family affair ...
Na na na one family, na na na one love ...

Altar Boy And The Thief
Altar Boy And The Thief
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez
At night in the safety of shadows and numbers
Seeking some turf on which nothing encumbers
The buying and selling of casual looks
Stuff that gets printed in x-rated books
Your mother might have tried to understand
When you were hardly your daddy's little man
And you gave up saluting the chief
To find yourself some relief
Finely plucked eyebrows and skin of satin
Smiling seductive and endlessly Latin
Olympic body on dancing feet
Perfume thickening the air like heat
A transient star of gay bar fame
You quit your job and changed your name
And you're nearly beyond belief
As you hunt down a little relief
The seven foot black with the emerald ring
Broke up a fight without saying a thing
As the cops cruised by wanting one more chance
To send Jimmy Baldwin back over to France
And a trucker with kids and a wife
Prefers to spend half of his life
In early Bohemian motif
Playing pool and getting relief
My favorite couple was looking so fine
Dancing in rhythm and laughing in rhyme
In the light of the jukebox all yellow and blue
Holding each other as young lovers do
To me they will always remain
Unshamed, untamed, and unblamed
The altar boy and the thief
Grabbing themselves some relief
The altar boy and the thief
Catching a little relief

Call Of The Wild
Call Of The Wild
Composer(s): Tillman Franks
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
My mother was gypsy, my father a wayfarin' man
My home was the river, the mountains and warm desert sand
The roar of a train, or a mad raging sea is
The call of the wild and it's callin' to me
My restless heart keeps repeatin' I have to be free
There's memories to haunt me and torture my wild savage soul
The heat in my veins like the beating of drums makes me roar
You want me to stay but I know I must roam
For the call of the wild keeps a-callin' me on
Your kisses are sweet but I know that I have to be free
No woman can tame me or chain me or tie me for life
There's oft times a sweetheart but never, oh never a wife
Born to be happy but born to be free
I never look back for I know it must be
It's the call of the wild and I know that it's callin' to me
There are strange foreign lands that keep callin', yes callin' to me
To the wide open spaces I know that I'm destined to be
A slave to a voice much stronger than a hand
That can bring out the beast deep in my kind of man
It's the call of the wild and I'll have to obey, to obey
To obey it's command

Ständig rappelt der Recorder

BTX
Computerspiele
tausend Tricks
Pantoffel-Cockpit, Heimpiloten
das sind echte Videoten
Und das Hänschen spielt so gerne
Krieg der Knöpfe, Krieg der Sterne
richtig süchtig, Atari-Junkie
voll verseuchtes kleines Kranki
Und man sieht ihn auch vor'm Testbild liegen
und sich ohne Grund vor Lachen biegen
und überhaupt, wie toll, denkt er, dass man
mit Computi besser spiel'n kann als mit Jan von nebenan
Familie Kabeljau
glotzt die Non-Stop-Schau
mit dem Vierkantauge im Gesicht
und der Erleuchtung im dunklen Flimmerlicht
Familie Kabeljau

mit dem Schlafwagenhirn und der Neandertalstirn
Ja, in den Kabeln hängt der hohle Kopf
wie an einem Tropf
Und es sprach der Herr Minister
Dr. h. c. Kabelknister
von der schönen neuen Welt
Keine Arbeit, trotzdem Geld!
Ja, der Mikrochip aus Taiwan macht die Arbeit dann
und wenn dann nix mehr zu tun is, fahr'n wir nach Tunis
Wo wir in der Sonne sitzen
und ganz locker um die Ecke schwitzen

glotzt die Non-Stop-Schau

Christmas In My Heart (Letter From A Soldier)
Christmas In My Heart (Letter From A Soldier)
Performer(s): Dave Foss
When I was nine years old, I woke up on Christmas mornin'
Dragged you out of bed, down the stairs and to the tree
I didn't know back then that your head had just hit your pillow
Stayin' up all night, wrappin' Christmas presents just for me
So I thank you, Mom, you're an inspiration
Your endless smile is my salvation
Because of you, I got Christmas right here in my heart
Seventeen years old, I woke up on Christmas mornin'
Only three short months since Mom, she passed away
Still you found the time, Dad, to make Christmas somethin' special
You kept our spirits high, I think about it to this day
So I thank you, Dad, you're an inspiration
Your endless strength is my salvation
Because of you, I got Christmas right here in my heart
Christmas in my heart, it may seem crazy here
In my barracks layin' so very far away
But I know my job is to serve my country
And I think about you all, each and ev'ry day
Now I'm twenty-nine, as I write this on Christmas mornin'
And I bless the day that we shared our wedding vows
When I close my eyes, it seems that you're right beside me
By the grace of God, I'll make it back to you somehow
So I thank you, Girl, you're an inspiration
Your endless love is my salvation
Because of you, I got Christmas right here in my heart
And because of you, I got Christmas right here in my heart
