Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar


Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar
((Adapted from: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan) - 1962)) ((Dutch Version: Huiswaarts (Ernst Jansz) - 2010)) Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Nationalteatern Performer(s): Nationalteatern - 1978



Om idag inte var en ändlös landsväg och i natt en vild och krokig stig om i morgon inte kändes så oändlig Då är ensamhet ett ord som inte finns Men bara om min älskade väntar och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå... Bara om hon låg här tätt intill mig kan jag bli den jag var igår Jag kan inte se min spegelbild i vattnet Jag kan inte säga sorgelösa ord Jag hör inte mitt eko slå mot gatan Kan inte minnas vem jag var igår Men bara om min älskade väntar... Det finns skönhet i flodens silversånger Det finns skönhet i gryningssolens sken Men då ser jag i min älskades ögö en skönhet större än allting som jag vet! Och bara om jag vet att hon väntar och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå Bara om hon låg tätt intill mig kan jag bli den jag var igår

Tomorrow And Tomorrow


Tomorrow And Tomorrow
Composer(s): Fripp - McDonald - Lake - Giles - Sinfield
Performer(s): King Crimson



The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams

Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

I Got The Sun In The Morning


I Got The Sun In The Morning
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists



Taking stock of what I have and what I haven’t
What do I find? The things I got will keep me satisfied
Checking up on what I have and what I haven’t
What do I find? A healthy balance on the credit side

Got no diamonds, got no pearls
Still I think I’m a lucky girl
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I’m happy with what I’ve got
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way
Got no cheque books, got no banks
Still I’d like to express my thanks
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening
I’m all right

De-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

De-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way
Got no cheque books, got no banks
Still I’d like to express my thanks
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
And with the sun in the morning, moon in the evening
I’m doing all right
Doing all right
Doing all right
I’m doing all right

Johnny Reb


Johnny Reb
Composer(s): Merle Kilgore
Performer(s): Johnny Horton;
and various other artists



Chorus:
You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb

Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee
You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain
Even tho' you lost they speak highly of your name, 'cause

(Chorus)

I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
I saw the young boys as they began to fall
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all, but

(Chorus)

I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red
When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead, 'cause

(Chorus)

When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe

You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb

(Chorus)

Tomorrow (Dennis King & Carolyn Thomson)


Tomorrow
Composer(s): Rudolf Friml - Brian Hooker
Performer(s): Dennis King & Carolyn Thomson
and multiple other artists



Lanza:
When you say "Not today", I would ask you then
Will your beauty ever be quite so fair again
When you frown and look down, let me ask of you
Can I ever love you more than today I do

Tomorrow is too far away
Tomorrow is long to delay
Tomorrow today will be only a memory
Tomorrow we may learn that each
Tomorrow is still out of reach
So borrow tomorrow with me

Raskin:
When you sigh love is nigh, I would have you know
Love is not a passerby, lovers come and go
When you smile, wait a while, I would understand
Will you care to keep my heart when you have my hand

Lanza: Tomorrow is too far away
Raskin: Tomorrow will you stay
Lanza: Tomorrow is long to delay
Raskin: Tomorrow will you, Dear
Lanza: Tomorrow today will be
Raskin: Tomorrow will you want to be
Lanza: Only a memory
Raskin: A tender little memory
Lanza: Tomorrow we may learn that each
Raskin: Tomorrow I may reach
Lanza: Tomorrow is still out of reach
Raskin: The sun is still up high
Lanza: So borrow
Raskin: To spend a day
Both: Tomorrow with me

I Got The Same Old Blues


I Got The Same Old Blues
Composer(s): J.J. Cale
First release by: J.J. Cale - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Have you heard that rumour that's going around
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway, but you was gone
I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
When you give me the business, you know I get a mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
Yeah, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

Johnny One Time


Johnny One Time
Composer(s): A.L. Owens; Dallas Frazier
Performer(s): Brenda Lee; Henson Cargill;
Loretta Lynn; Jody Miller; Willie Nelson



So he told you that you're the dream that he's been searching for
And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry wine
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

Did he tell you that your heart would soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

So he told you that he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you that he'd love you forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time

Oh, did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
And did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Oh, did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time.

Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Oh, did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

Tomorrow (Bill Anderson)


Tomorrow
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



What a wonderful thing that our love would have been tomorrow
What a pity that our dreams didn't stay around to see tomorrow
But your love has gone away and our dreams vanished too
Starved for so many things I intended to do
I'm alone with a love I meant to give to you tomorrow
I'll be the woman that you want tomorrow I got to many things to do today
Tomorrow I'll have lots of time to love you and I let it go another day
I promised all the love you'd need tomorrow
Say all the words you crave to hear me say
And somewhere in your lonely waiting hours
You packed your hungry heart and went away
What a wonderful thing our love would have been tomorrow
What a pity our dreams didn't stay around to see tomorrow
But your love has gone away and our dreams vanished too
Starved for so many things that I intended to do
I'm alone with a love meant to give you tomorrow
Yes your gone today and our dream gone astray
There were still so many things that I intended to do
I'm all alone with a love I meant to give you tomorrow

Tomo Y Obligo


Tomo Y Obligo
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Manuel Romero
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel



Tomo y obligo, ¡mándese un trago!
que hoy necesito el recuerdo matar
sin un amigo, lejos del pago
quiero en su pecho mi pena volcar
Beba conmigo, y si se empaña
de vez en cuando mi voz al cantar
no es que la llore porque me engaña
¡yo sé que un hombre no debe llorar!

Si los pastos conversaran
esa pampa le diría
de qué modo la quería
con qué fiebre la adoré
cuántas veces de rodillas
tembloroso yo me hincaba
bajo el árbol deshojado
donde un día la besé
Y hoy al verla envilecida
a otros brazos entregada
fue pa' mí una puñalada
y de celos me cegué
y le juro, todavía
no consigo convencerme
cómo pude contenerme
¡si ahí no más no la maté!

Tomo y obligo, ¡mándese un trago!
¡De las mujeres mejor no hay que hablar!
Todas, amigo, dan muy mal pago
y hoy mi experiencia lo puede afirmar
Siga un consejo: ¡no se enamore!
y si una vuelta le toca hocicar
¡fuerza, canejo, sufra y no llore
que un hombre macho no debe llorar!

I Got The Hoss
Composer(s): House
Performer(s): Mel Tillis



Hey baby!
Let me see your brand new saddle
I'll put that pretty thing up on my hoss
Let's get it on real tight now
'Cause we don't want you a fallin' off

I got the hoss and she got the saddle
We like to ride side by side
Boy, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

In the moonlight, by the river
By the honeysuckle vine
We'll be ridin', peepin' and hidin'
Till we see the morning light

Well, I got the hoss and you got the saddle
We gonna ride side by side
Whoa, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Hey baby!
Let's stop for a little while
I need to give my old hoss a rest
And you know they ain't no use
In us tryin' to wear out your brand new saddle

Hear the cricketts singin' softly
Never heard a sweeter sound
And you know cricketts do their singin'
By just rubbin' their legs around

Well, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
We like to ride side by side
Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Well, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
We like to ride side by side
Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Yeah, and I got the hoss and she got the saddle
We like to ride side by side
Oh, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Play the guitar, play it again, my Johnny
Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside
I was always a fool for my Johnny
For the one they call Johnny Guitar

Play it again Johnny Guitar

Whether you go, whether you stay, I love you
But if you're cruel, you can be kind I know
There was never a man like my Johnny
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar

Tommy’s Doll


Tommy’s Doll
Composer(s): Glen Tubb - Jack Moran
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



The kids all laughed at Tommy's Doll but Tommy didn’t care
Cause he felt so much better when that little doll was their
His Mom and Dad were busy doing things that parents do
So Tommy's Doll was all he had to tell his troubles too

When Tommy reach the age of five his Daddy said
“Now Son… It’s time to trade your dolly in for this soldier and this gun”
But Tommy said “O Daddy please… My dolly wants to stay”
But his father said “Now be a man” and he threw the doll away

Tommy never talked much after that
He just sort of went into a shell
But he never cried he just held inside
All those things he couldn’t tell

Then one day he saw his dolly way from a trashcan across the street
And like a flash he darted out his little friend to meet
He never saw the speeding car nor heard the screeching sound
And before the driver knew it, he had run poor Tommy down

The people came as people do and looked down at the boy
He just laid there for a moment like a tragic broken toy
Then reaching out his little arms he sat up straight and tall
And whispered with his dieing breath “Someone please hand me my doll”

I Got The


I Got The
Composer(s): Labi Siffre
First release by: Labi Siffre - 1975



I got the blues but I don't mind
All I have to do is get to you
And than I feel just fine

I'm on a downer, but not all the way
When I'm feelin' low you do your thing just so
And then I feel OK

Your so good the way you give
So good, you're the best there is

I got the blues
Got it oh so bad
When I think of me its hard to be
A person quite so sad

You got the answer
And it makes me glad
When I'm feelin' small you give me rock n' roll
And then I'm feelin' bad

Your so good the way you give
So good, you're the best there is

Just a lonely soul slowly dyin'
I was smilin' hard but I was lyin'
Then you sailed along with you're sweet dream
When you stole my heart I was with it

Mornin' come Sun don't shine
I'll get by without you
I was lost but now I'm found
Tell me love it was you

Mornin' come Sun don't shine
I'll get by without you
I was lost but now I'm found
Tell me love it was you

Just a lonely soul slowly dyin'
I was smilin' hard but I was lyin'
Then you sailed along with you're sweet dream
When you stole my heart I was with it

Johnny Get Angry
Composer(s): Hal David;
Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer
Performer(s): Joanie Sommers; Shelley Fabares



Johnny, I said we were through
Just to see what you would do
You stood there and hung your head
Made me wish that I were dead

Chorus
Oh, Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad
Give me the biggest lecture I ever had
I want a brave man, I want a cave man
Johnny, show me that you care, really care for me

Every time you danced with me
You let Freddy cut in constantly
When he'd ask, you'd never speak
Must you always be so meek?

Chorus

Every girl wants someone who
She can always look up to
You know I love you, of course
Let me know that you're the boss

Chorus

Johnny, get angry, Johnny
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

Took a freighter to Spain
Met up with a bull fighter
He soon taught me the score
Now my claim to fame is the crazy name
Tommy, the Toreador

No bullfighter in Spain
Sees a bull and turns whiter
Please don't leave me ashore
Kids that follow me, keep on calling me
Tommy, the Toreador

I've got a sword, I've got a cloak,
But when that bull is coming at you, it's no joke!

I would notify Spain
Find another bullfighter
But the ladies adore
Throwing roses to, growing closer to
Tommy, the Toreador

I would notify Spain
Find another bullfighter
But the ladies adore
Throwing roses to, growing closer to

And I'm never gonna leave once I arrive
'Cause I'm done
Uh-uh, I got stung!

Johnny, Reviens!
English Title: Johnny B. Goode
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'étais avec une fille qui me plaisait bien
Mais j'ai du la quitter sans attendre demain
Malgré son amour elle ne me comprenait pas
Car elle était trop différente de moi

Elle n'a pas su comprendre
Pourquoi je l'ai quitté
Sitôt que je la vois
Elle ne sait que répéter

Reviens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Ah! Reviens vers moi

Et quand j'aurai voulu l'avoir seul avec moi
Elle amenait des copainss qui troublaient ma joie
Quand je voulais sortir elle ne le voulait pas
Si je ne cédait pas elle pleurait dans mes bras

Elle n'a pas su comprendre
Pourquoi je l'ai quitté
Sitôt que je la vois
Elle ne sait que répéter

Reviens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Ah! Reviens vers moi

Je l'ai retrouvé hier au soir avec mes copains
Elle m'a semblé changé elle n'avait plus de chagrin
Je croyais bien qu'elle m'avait enfin oublié
Mais il n'en était rien j'ai pu le constater

Elle n'a pas su comprendre
Pourquoi je l'ai quitté
Toujours elle ne fait que répéter

Reviens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Johnny reviens, viens
Ah! Reviens vers moi

Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969



Tommy:
Welcome to the camp
I guess you all know why we're here
My name is Tom and I became aware this year
If you want to follow me
you've got to play pinball
So put in your ear plugs
put on your shades
and you know where to put the cork!
He you getting drunk
so sorry, I've got you susses
He you smoking mother nature
you missed the bus
He hung up old mister normal
Don't try to gain my trust
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me
any of those ways
although you think you must!

We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We don't have to take it
Gonna break it!
Gonna shake it!
Let's forget it better still!

Tommy:
Now you can't hear me
your ears are truly sealed
You can't speak either
your mouth is filled
You can't see nothing
and pinball completes the scene...
Here comes Uncle Ernie
to guide you to
your very own machine

We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
and as far as we can tell
we ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take you!
We forsake you!
Gonna rape you!
Let's forget you better still!
We forsake you
gonna rape you
Let's forget you... better still

Tommy:
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet!
Right behind you I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get opinions
From you I get the story
