Catch The Rainbow
Catch The Rainbow
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Ronnie James Dio
First release by: Rainbow - 1975
When evening falls
She'll run to me
Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can't see, ooh
Soft and warm
She'll touch my face
A bed of straw
Against the lace, ooh
We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me, oh bless me yeah, bless me
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Ooh, ooh..
Mmm, mmm
Ooh, ooh
A light is all that see
Off to you and me
Ooh, ooh
Ride the night
See the light
Ooh
Take him to the sky, yeah
Ooh, oooh
Oo-oo-ooh, ooh
Through the door
Ride the sky
Make it shine
For you and I
See the light
Through the night
Make it shine
To the night
Catch the rainbow, see the light
Catch the rainbow
And ride the sky
Make it shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine!
Shine! Shine, for you and I

Following In Your Footsteps
Following In Your Footsteps
Composer(s): Ian Hunter; Mick Ronson
Performer(s): Ian Hunter;
The Hunter Ronson Band
Some folk leave courage
some folk leave you hope
Why am I out here hangin'
like a fool at the end o' my rope
Some folk leave you wisdom
some folk leave you signs
You can never be sure
what went on before
Life is just a matter of time
Picture of you
clouding my view
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to make some sense of it all
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
but that's where my footsteps fall
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to hang on to your dreams
You never got what you wanted
So I never got what I need
I'm following in your footsteps
'cos that's where the footsteps lead
Someone must have given me anger
someone must have given me hate
Or why would I stand here shakin'
when there's so many chances to take
Pictures of you
climb into view
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to make some sense of it all
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
but that's where my footsteps fall
I'm following in your footsteps
watchin' my children grow
They're following in my footsteps
Takin' it on the road
We're following in your footsteps
'cos that's where the footsteps go
We're following in your footsteps, yeah
'cos that's where your footsteps go

The Family Of Man
The Family Of Man
Composer(s): Jack Conrad - Paul Williams
Performer(s): Three Dog Night
This tired city was somebody's dream
Billboard horizons as black as they seem
Four level highways across the land
We're building a home for the family of man
And it's so hard whatever we are coming to
Yes it's so hard with so little time
And so much to do
Time running out for the family of man
One man to lead us with so much to say
Moving the mountains that got in our way
Prayer books and meetings to find a plan
Deciding the fate of the family of man
Memories replacing the loves that we've lost
Burning our bridges as soon as they're crossed
Factories built where the rivers ran
And time running out for the family of man

Catch A Wave
Catch A Wave ((aka Sidewalk Surfin' (Jan & Dean) - 1964))
Composer(s): Brian Wilson
First release by: The Beach Boys - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world
Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world
So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Every Saturday boy
But don't treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world

Follow The River
Follow The River
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin
Performer(s): London Studio Symphony Orch.
Follow the river
The river knows the way
Come to me, I pray
I miss you more each day
Follow the river
Wherever you may be
Follow the river back to me
Sometimes I feel like I will jump for the moon
And tell the sky up high
Does it matter how full is the moon
If you've an empty heart
Bring back the great love
The love that once we knew
Make my dream come true
The dream I had with you
Follow the river
Wherever you may be
Follow the river back to me

His summersand at dawn

And with a silverdin arise

Beside his singing silverwaves
And his dancing rebelrace

A sound inside my candle light

Silverframe my candlelight

Silverframe my candlelight
The falconer is sitting on
His summersand at dawn
Unlocking flooded silvercages
And with a silverdin arise
All the lovely faces
And the lovely silvertraces erase
My empty pages

50 Jaar Televisie
50 Jaar Televisie
((Adapted from: De Lichtjes Van De Schelde (Bobbejaan Schoepen) - 1952))
Performer(s): Ronny Mosuse
Composer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen - Jan Stevens - Anton Beuving - Karel Vereertbrugghen
Doedoedoedoe...
Zeg weet je nog schat onze eerste TV
Ik ben hem toen zelf nog gaan halen
Hij stond op die kast, op een stuk toile cirée
Die doos ging ons leven bepalen
Jij hebt leren koken met 'Penelope'
Ik viel voor Regine in 'Zuid-Noord'
En weet je nog wel, onze dochter Josée
Is verwekt tijdens 't Is maar een woord'
Zie ik de beelden op de schermen
Dan gaat mijn hart wat sneller slaan
Daar ligt er eentje luid te kermen
Daar loopt een ventje op de maan
50 jaar lang al televisie
50 jaar lang die schone buis
Lichtpunt in het lastig leven
Een halve eeuw een vriend aan huis
Het paringsgedrag van de roodborsttapuit
Problemen met tandartspraktijken
Het beste beleg voor een zeemansbeschuit
Wij weten het dankzij veel kijken
De kinderen zijn groot en wij zijn nu alleen
Dat valt allemaal nog wel mee
Wij maken nooit ruzie, wij zijn nooit gemeen
We zitten gewoon voor TV
Zie ik de beelden op de schermen
Lalalalalalalala
Daar ligt er eentje luid te kermen
Lalalalalalalala
50 jaar lang al televisie
50 jaar lang die schone buis
Lichtpunt in het lastig leven
Een halve eeuw een vriend aan huis
Doedoedoedoe...

Catch A Star
Catch A Star
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Men At Work
Experience babe, kickin' stones and cans
Experience babe, cigarette-stained hands
It's not too late, hear it in the wind
It's not too late, feel passion creepin' in
Intoxication, familiar smells of the hotels
Infatuation, of knowing who you are
You and I, You and I, You and I
Arrow through my heart
Catch a star
Isolation, rows and rows of cars
Isolation, like Jupiter and Mars
Staring faces, set in celluloid
Welcome to the late show, starring Null and Void
Complications, things get in the way
Sweet sensation of knowing you are near and not too far
You and I, You and I, You and I
Arrow through my heart
Catch a star
You and I, You and I, You and I
Freeway through your heart
Catch a star
Catch a star!

Follow That Dream
Follow That Dream
German Title: Ich Vertraue Dem Traum
Composer(s): Fred Wise; Ben Weisman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Cheyenne Jackson
(Follow that dream, I've got to follow that dream)
Keep a-movin', move along, keep a movin'
I've gotta follow that dream
wherever that dream may lead
I gotta follow that dream to find the love I need
When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you
There's just one thing that you can do
You've gotta follow that dream
wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream
to find the love you need
Keep a-movin', move along, keep a movin'
Gotta find me someone whose heart is free
Someone to look for my dream with me
And when I find her I may find out
That's what my dreams are all about
I've gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I gotta follow that dream to find the love I need
I-I-I gotta to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I gotta to follow that dream to find the love I need
(Keep a-movin', move along)
Keep a-movin', move along
Keep a-movin', move along
Keep a-movin'..........

The Faithful Hussar (Don't Cry My Love)
The Faithful Hussar (Don't Cry My Love)
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
A soldier boy, so brave and gay
With head held high, he marched away
His sweetheart wept, but every night
He'd think of her and he would write
Don't cry, my love, while I am gone
Don't sigh, my love, just carry on
The leaves of green turned brown and gold
The days grew short and nights were cold
But when the winter winds blew chill
Afire with love, he'd write her still
Don't cry, my love, while I am gone
Don't sigh, my love, just carry on
Then came the day he'd hungered for
When he need live on dreams no more
For he could write and it was true
My dear, I'll soon be home to you
Don't cry, my love, I'm coming home
Don't sigh, my love, no more I'll roam
We two again will never part
Stand easy, love, you've won my heart

Catch A Falling Star
Catch A Falling Star
Composer(s): Paul Vance - Lee Pockriss
First recording/First release by: Perry Como - 1957/1958
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night
Just in case you feel you want to hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night
Just in case you feel you want to hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight
(Pocketful of starlight, hm,hm,hm,hm,hm,hm)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
(Save it for a rainy, save it for a rainy, rainy, rainy, day)
For when your troubles start multiplyin' and they just might
It's easy to forget them without tryin'
With just a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
(Save it for a rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day

Follow My Leader
Follow My Leader
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the mill
Follow my leader , follow my leader
Through the green meadow, and over the hill
Over the bridge, and along by the stream, with
Never a thought of a stumble, or spill
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the mill
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the farm
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Be sure when you follow, you come to no harm
Down shady lanes, and through hedges, and ditches
Careful to cause wandering hens, no alarm
Passing the hen-coops, barns, and the cow-sheds
Follow my leader, down to the farm
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the sea
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Heedless of waves, and the wind blowing free
Over the rocks, that lay bare in the sunlight
shouting and laughing in pure childish glee
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the sea

The Fairest Of The Seasons
The Fairest Of The Seasons
Composer(s): Gregory Copeland - Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Nico
Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end
Now that it's real
Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe try another time
And do I really have a hand in my forgetting?
Now that I've tried
Now that I've finally found that this is not the way
Now that I turn
Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe finally split the rhyme
And do I really understand the undernetting?
Yes and the morning has me
Looking in your eyes
And seeing mine warning me
To read the signs carefully
Now that it's light
Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind
Now that it's here
Now that I'm almost not so very far behind
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe follow another sign
And do I really have a song that I can ride on?
Now that I can
Now that it's easy, ever easy all around
Now that I'm here
Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And do I have to do just one
And can I choose again if I should lose the reason?
Yes, and the morning
Has me looking in your eyes
And seeing mine warning me
To read the signs more carefully
Now that I smile
Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside
Now that I see
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
It's now I know do I stay or do I go
And it is finally I decide
That I'll be leaving
In the fairest of the seasons

Catch
Catch
Composer(s): Simon Gallup - Robert Smith - Porl Thompson - Lol Tolhurst - Boris Williams
First release by: The Cure - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists
Yes I know who you remind me of
a girl I think I used to know
Yes I'd see her when the day got colder
on those days when it felt like snow
You know I even think that she stared like you
she used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven and make like I just wasn't there
And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name
And sometimes we would spend the night just rolling about on the floor
And I remember even though it felt soft at the time, I always used to wake up sore
You know I even think that she smiled like you, she used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away and stay like that for quite a while
And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name
Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her
But I never even caught her name

Follow Me (John Denver)
Follow Me
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
to be so in love with you and so a-lone
Chorus:
Follow me where I go what I do and who I know
make it part of you to be a part of me
follow me up and down all the way and all around
take my hand and say you'll follow me
It's long been on my mind you know it's been a long, long time
I'll try to find the way that I can make you understand
the way I feel about you and just how much I need you
to be there where I can talk to you when there's no one else around
Chorus
You see, I'd like to share my life with you and show you things I've seen
places that I'm going to places where I've been
to have you there beside me and never be alone
and all the time that you're with me then we will be at home
