Together As One


Together As One
Composer(s): Lucky Dube
Performer(s): Lucky Dube



In my whole life
My whole life
I've got a dream
I've got a dream

Too many people
Hate apartheid
Why do you like it?
Why do you like it?

Hey you rasta man
Hey European,Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese

Hey you rasta man
Hey European,Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese

Hey you rasta man
Hey European,Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese

The cats and the dogs
Have forgiven each other
What is wrong with us
What is wrong with us

All those years
Fighting each other
But no solution
But no solution

Hey you rasta man
Hey European,Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese

Hey you rasta man
Hey European,Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese

I Feel The Earth Move


I Feel The Earth Move
Composer(s): Carole King
First release by: Carole King - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
Tumbling down, tumbling down...

Jim


Jim
Composer(s): Caesar Petrillo;
Edward Ross; Nelson Shawn
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists



Why am I sitting alone tonight
when I could be out where the lights are bright?
It's all because of Jim
It's all because of Jim
Why am I wasting these precious years?
Why am I crying these bitter tears?
It's all because of Jim
It's all because of Jim

(Chorus):
Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours
Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim
Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire
I never seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years I've wasted on him

Sometimes when I get feeling low
I say "Let's call it quits"
Then I hang on and let him go
Breaking my heart in bits
Some day I know that Jim will up and leave me
But even if he does you can believe me
I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim

Rose:
Wherever we go, whatever we do
we're gonna go through it together
We may not go far, but sure as a star
wherever we are, it's together

Wherever I go I know he goes
Wherever I go I know she goes
No fits, no fights, no feuds
and no egos, Amigos, together!

Through thick and through thin
all out or all in
And whether it's win, place or show
With you for me and me for you
we'll muddle through whatever we do
Together, wherever we go

Rose & Herbie:
Wherever we go, whatever we do
we're gonna go through it together
Rose: Wherever we sleep, if prices are steep
Herbie:We'll always sleep cheaper together

Rose: Whatever the boat I row, you row

Herbie: A duo

Rose: Whatever the row I hoe, you hoe

Louise: A trio

Rose: And any I. O. U., I owe you-oh's?

Herbie: Who, me-oh? No, you-oh

Louise: No, we-oh

All: Together!

We all take the bow

Rose: Including the cow

All: though business is lousy and slow

Rose: With Herbie's vim, Louise's verve

Herbie & Louise: Now all we need is someone with nerve

Rose: Together

Herbie & Louise: Together

Rose: Wherever

Herbie & Louise: Wherever

Rose: Together, wherever

All: Together, wherever we go

Rose: We go in a group

All: We tour in a troupe
We land in the soup, but we know
the things we do, we do by threes
A perfect team

Rose: No, this way, Louise!
Together

Herbie & Louise: Together

Rose: Wherever

Herbie & Louise: Wherever

All: Together, wherever we go!

Jilted


Jilted
Composer(s): Robert Colby; Dick Manning
Performer(s): Teresa Brewer
Diana Decker; Alma Cogan; Joan Regan



Jilted, I've been jilted
You've found a new love
Didn't even say, "We're through, Love"
Jilted, I've been jilted
But I'm as happy as can be

I've been thinking it over
Ever since your slippin' around begun
Now I'll become a rover
Two can play that game as well as one
And even though our hot romance has
Wilted, wilted, thanks for the favour
Baby, you're a real lifesaver
I'm happy that you jilted me

So I've been jilted
I've been jilted

But I'm as happy as can be

I've been thinking it over
Ever since your slippin' around begun
Now I'll become a rover
Two can play that game as well as one
And even though our hot romance has
Wilted, wilted, thanks for the favour
Baby, you're a real lifesaver
I'm happy that you jilted me

Jilted, jilted
I'm happy that you jilted me

Together
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Buddy DeSylva - Ray Henderson
Performer(s): Dick Haymes & Helen Forrest
and multiple other artists



(Helen)
We strolled the lane together
Laughed at the rain together
Sang loves refrain together
And we’d both pretend it would never end
One day we cried together
Passed love aside together
You’re gone from me but in my memory
We always will be together

(Dick)
We strolled the lane together
Laughed at the rain together
Sang loves refrain together
And we’d both pretend it would never end
Through storm and sun together
Our hearts as one together
You’re gone from me but in my memory
We always will be together

(Helen)
You’re gone from me but in my memory

(Both)
We always will be together

'K Voel Me Heerlijk


'K Voel Me Heerlijk ((Adapted from: I Feel Pretty (Carol Lawrence, Marilyn Cooper, Reri Grist, Carmen Gutierrez, Elizabeth Taylor & The Shark Girls) - 1957)) Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein - Stephen Sondheim - Koen Van Dijk Performer(s): Ann De Winne - 1998



'k Voel me heerlijk, o zo heerlijk
´k Voel eindelijk helemaal vrouw
Zeg eens eerlijk, kun je zien dat ik van iemand hou

Hij komt hierheen, hij komt bij me
En ik weet, dat is waar ik op wacht
Geen geheimen, en nu delen wij de hele nacht

Kijk die mooie meid in de spiegel daar
Ik ben zo jaloers dat ik stik
Kijk dat mooie haar, kijk die mooie strik
Kijk dat´s gebaar, kijk die mooie ik

Ik wil draaien, ik wil dansen
Nu mijn fraaie romance begint
´k Wordt geliefd, er is iemand die me bemint

Ik heb klasse, zoveel klasse
Het is echt een verassend niveau
Zo volwassen, ik krijg alles wat ik wil cadeau

Ik wil zingen, ik wil fluiten
Ik wil springen, 't is buitengewoon
Zoveel klasse, miss Amerika ik eis je kroon

Kijk die mooie meid in de spiegel daar
(Wie, wat, doe, waar)
Ik ben zo jaloers dat ik stik
(Wie, wat, doe, daar )
Kijk dat mooie haar, kijk die mooie blik
Kijk ´s dat gebaar, kijk die mooie ik

Ik wil draaien, ik wil dansen
Nu mijn fraaie romance begint
´k Wordt geliefd, er is iemand die me bemint

Jij Bent Nu Daarbinnen


Jij Bent Nu Daarbinnen
Performer(s): Ramses Shaffy & Liesbeth List



Jij bent nu daarbinnen
Wat moet ik beginnen
'k Sta jou te beminnen
In kou en regen
De angst houdt me tegen
Om onverwacht binnen te komen bij jou

Ik sta wat te fluiten
't Licht schijnt door de ruiten
Misschien kom je buiten
Ik hou me tegen
Ik wacht in de regen
Want ik kom misschien ongelegen bij jou

Ik hoor je ergens praten
't Maakt me zo verlaten
't Is al zo vreselijk laat
En ik wou dat ik de moed had
Dat ik de moed had
Om binnen te komen bij jou

Jij zult het nooit weten
Hoe ik, door elkaar gesmeten
Stond in godvergeten kou en regen
De maan lacht me tegen
Ik lach en ik huil
En ik glimlach om jou

Qu'est-Ce Que J'vais Faire Plus Tard


Qu'est-Ce Que J'vais Faire Plus Tard
((Adapted from: When I Kissed The Teacher (ABBA) - 1976))
((Dutch Version: Toen Ik De Leraar Kuste (Ann Christy) - 1977))
Composer(s): Björn Ulvaeus - Benny Andersson - Alain Boublil - Daniel Boublil
Performer(s): Marie-France Roussel & Stéphane & les enfants d'Asnières - 1983



J'suis nul en histoire
Qu'est-ce que j'vais faire plus tard?
Zéro en géographie
Mal barré dans la vie
J'serai pas docteur
Pas dentiste, ni architecte, ni ingénieur
Ca c'est sûr
Mais en attendant, on est collé jusqu'à six heures

Qu'est-ce qu'on va faire plus tard?
Et si on parlait plutôt de c'qu'on va faire ce soir?
J'pourrai pas sortir
Pas d'ciné, pas de télé et puis le pire
J'suis puni, j'irai pas chez Marie-Claire
Pour son anniversaire

C'est pas facile
D'expliquer qu'on a la matière grise en rodage
C'est inutile
Et d'ailleurs la leçon ne vaut sans doute pas un fromage

Qu'est-ce que j'vais faire plus tard?
Qu'est-ce que j'vais faire plus tard?
Qu'est-ce que j'vais faire plus tard?

I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight


I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight
Composer(s): Chris Wall
Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker; Alice Stuart; Chris Wall



Well, I could live my whole life, without a phone call
The likes of which I got today
It was only my wife, said “hello” then “goodbye”
And told me she’s going away

Well I didn’t cry
It was all cut and dried
I hung up before I realized
Turned up my stereo, I walked to the window
Stared at the storm clouds outside

And I play classical music when it rains
I play country when I am in pain
But I won’t play Beethoven, the mood’s just not right
Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight

There’s no explanation, not even a reason
No talk of the good times we had
Was it me, was it her, I don’t know for sure
And that’s why I’m feelling so bad

Hey, I play jazz when I am confused
I play country whenveer I lose
Bird’s saxaphone, it just don’t seem right
Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight

Lately I’ve been thinkin’, I just might quit drinkin’
Now I don’t know all-in-all
I just might stay home, get drunk all alone
And punch a few holes in the wall

But when I’m rel high I play rock ’n’ roll
I play country when I’m losing control
I don’t play Chuck Berry quite as much as I’d like
Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight

Jij Bent Het Leven


Jij Bent Het Leven
Composer(s): Pieter Verlinden; Rita Van Dievel
Performer(s): Ann Christy



Een ijskoude blik van je ogen
als een gletsjerwind
strijkt langs mijn leden
en rillend word ik er warm van

Refrein
Want jij bent het leven
waarin ik moet leven
Jij bent de eik
ik ben klimop langs je stam

Een kwetsend gebaar van je handen
als een horzelsteek
verwondt mijn lichaam
geslagen word ik gestreeld

Refrein
Want jij bent het leven
waarin ik moet leven
Jij bent de elk
ik ben klimop langs je stam

Toen Ik De Leraar Kuste


Toen Ik De Leraar Kuste
((Adapted from: When I Kissed The Teacher (ABBA) - 1976))
((French Version: Qu'est-Ce Que J'vais Faire Plus Tard (Marie-France Roussel & Stéphane & les enfants d'Asnières) - 1983))
Composer(s): Björn Ulvaeus - Benny Andersson - Walter Ertvelt
Performer(s): Ann Christy - 1977



't Is te gek, maar waar
Wat ik ga vertellen
't Verhaal van een verre droom
Uit een ver verleden

Mijn vriendinnen weten 't wel
Dat ik toen de leraar kuste
Dat hij erg verrast was

Maar je moet geloven
Dat de oplossing was voor mij
Toen ik de leraar kuste
Kon hij niet geloven
Toen ik de leraar kuste
Moest ik hem beloven
Dit nooit meer te zullen doen
Iedereen lachtte me uit
Maar hij lachtte naar mij
Toen ik de leraar kuste

Maar vandaag nog
Zal ik hem zeggen dat hij vannacht bij me was
Maar vandaag nog
Zal ik hem zeggen dat ik vannacht bij hem was

En ik vond het fijn
Toen ik de leraar kuste
Stond hij maar in vuur en vlam
Toen ik de leraar kuste
De leraar fysica
Sprak over wetten van de algebra
Wie weet wat was fout
Toen ik de leraar heb gekust

Maar vandaag nog
Zal ik hem zeggen dat hij vannacht bij me was
Maar vandaag nog
Zal ik hem zeggen dat ik vannacht bij hem was

En hij vond het fijn
Toen ik de leraar kuste
Verloor hij z'n hart
Toen ik de leraar kuste
Heb ik hem beloofd
Het nog te zullen doen
Hij keek in mijn ogen
Alles werd toen groen
Toen ik de leraar kuste

Oeh, kuste kuste
Oehoehoeh, kuste kuste
Oehoehoeh, kuste kuste kuste kuste

I Feel Like Buddy Holly


I Feel Like Buddy Holly
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Performer(s): Alvin Stardust



I watched the planes come in on the early morning flights
But I could not stand to see them land without you
Now I'm thumbing through my fortyfives on another endless night
And the same old lines going back in time
Tell me this is nothing new

Well
I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart
All the sad songs take me back to you now that we are apart

Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say
I wish it was Yesterday

So I sit here playing Solitaire; it's a game I know so well
Ever since that day when you called to say: It's over
Now I've made my reservation at the Heartbreak Hotel
While I'm living without you
I'm thinking about you like Only The Lonely do

Well
I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart

Now I know what Paul Simon meant by the words he found
I wish I was Homeward Bound

Well
I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart

Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say
I wish it was Yesterday
I wish it was Yesterday

Jigsaw Feeling


Jigsaw Feeling
Composer(s): John McKay; Steven Severin
Performer(s): Siouxsie And The Banshees



Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals, send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling

One day I'm feeling total
The next I'm split in two
My eyes are doing somersaults
Staring at my shoe

My brain is out of my hand
There's nothing to prevent
The impulse is quite meaningless
In a cerebral non-event

Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals, send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling

Five fingers do my walking
Ten toes unravel knots
Amorphous jigsaw pieces
Falling into slots

Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals, send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling

So I just sit in reverie
Getting on my nerves
The intangible bonds that keep me

Sitting on the verge
Of a breakdown
Of a reaction
Of a result

Defeat me, complete me, maybe
Defeat me, defeat me
Jigsaw feeling, defeat me

Siempre Fuiste Mío


Siempre Fuiste Mío
((Italian Version: Eccomi (Mina) - 1972))
Composer(s): Dario Baldan Bembo - Paolo Limiti - Mina - Mónica Naranjo - Cristóbal Sansano
Performer(s): Mónica Naranjo - 2000



Siento a cada paso mil susurros
Que me incitan a entregarme a tí
Lloros de lamento paseando
Y regalando más que amores

Es mucha
La intanquilidad que me rodea
Y que me inquieta el no saber de tí

Ahora que es tan tarde
Pienso en adentrarme

Mío!
Te siento siempre aunque
No eres mío

Más!
Con todo y tanto que me
Quisiste amar

Retomando mi camino
Sin escudo, sin orgullo ahora
Me resbalo y me lastimo
Cuando me doy cuenta de la
Realidad

Te perdí
Ahora siento que me voy
Inevitablemente yo
No vivo una derrota más

Te perdí
No pienses que me quedo aquí, no
Intransigente vuelvo a tí
Desnuda al fín
Sin preocuparme qué dirán de mí

Es una obsesión que me camela
Me atormenta y que me postra a tí
Es el mar que viene y me traga amo
Sin escupir; amores

Te perdí
Una razón para vivir
Sólo tú, mi fantasía
Pues es a tí a quien yo daría mi vida

Mi malestar, mi locura, mi fé
Que se van tras de tí

Miles de pasos ardiendo que hoy
Forman parte de mí

La oscuridad de mi alma
Me encierra y me esfuerza
A sentir que no hay ni un camino

Bien, te perdí
Y el tiempo que te resté aquí
No olvides:
"Siempre fuiste mío"

I Feel Like A Feather In The Breeze


I Feel Like A Feather In The Breeze
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel
Performer(s): Mezz Mezzrow
and multiple other artists



I feel like a feather in the breeze
Ridin' on high, high in the sky
Honey, and I'm walkin' on air
Since the moment that you told me that you care

Feel like a feather in the breeze
Floatin' through space in your embrace
Dancing on clouds way up above
Since the second that you beckoned to my love

I'm happy, so happy when you're near
My troubles just disappear
As soon as you're by my side
Then, I'm satisfied

I feel like a feather in the breeze
Havin' my fun, kissin' the sun
And it's because well you are the one
So I'm singin' like the birdies in the trees

And feelin' like a feather in the breeze
I'm happy, so happy when you're near
My troubles just disappear
As soon as you're by my side, satisfied

I feel like a feather in the breeze
Havin' my fun, kissin' the sun
And it's because well you are the one
So I'm singin' like the birdies in the trees

And feelin' like a feather
Feelin' like a feather
Feelin' like a feater in the breeze

Jezebel (English Version)


Jezebel
Composer(s): Wayne Shanklin
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



Jezebel, Jezebel

If ever the devil was born without a pair of horns
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
If ever an angel fell, Jezebel, it was you
Jezebel, it was you

If ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me, leaving me blue
Jezebel, it was you

If ever the devil's plan was made to torment man
It was you, Jezebel, it was you

Could be better that I never know a lover such as you
Forsaking dreams and all for the siren call of your arms

Like a demon, love possessed me, you obsessed me constantly
What evil star is mine, that my fate's design should be Jezebel?

If ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me, leaving me blue
Jezebel, it was you

If ever the devil's plan was made to torment man
It was you, Jezebel, it was you, night and day, every way
Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel!!!!

First release by: Johnnie Taylor - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



All my life I been a po' boy
It's been hard to get a dime
Everythin' I got, umm, hmm
I had to pay for it on time, but that's all right

Long as I got a toehold
As long as I got a piece of you
As long as I got a toehold
I can make it through

Now listen
I said I went to my doctor
First thing he talked about is malnutrition
I'm not tryin' to be a fatman
I've got to look after my ambition

Long as I got a toehold
Long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toehold
I can make it through

Oh, now give it to me baby
A little little little little little little little little little toehold
A little little little little little little little little little toehold
Oh!

So, baby!, if you're with me
I'll let the whole world be against me
I don't expect to ever get rich
You may find me diggin' in a ditch

Long as I got a toehold
Long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toehold
I can make it through

Oh, give it to me baby
A little little little little little little little little little toehold
A little little little little little little little little little toehold
Owwww!
That's all I want baby
I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold
I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold
Owwww!...

I Feel Free


I Feel Free
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
First release by: Cream - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all I want to know
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free

I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud

I feel free, I feel free, I feel free

I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see
Though my eyes want to cry out loud
Though my eyes want to cry out loud

Dance floor is like the sea
Ceiling is the sky
You're the sun and as you shine on me
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free ...
