10cc – Dreadlock holiday 1
I was walkin’ down the street, concentratin’ on truckin’ right
I heard a dark voice beside of me, and I looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces one mad, a brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other
I say: I don’t like cricket oh no, I love it
I don’t like cricket no no, I love it
Don’t you walk thru my words
You got to show some respect
Don’t you walk thru my words
‘Cause you ain’t heard me out yet
Well he looked down at my silver chain, he said I’ll give you one dollar
I said You’ve got to be jokin’ man, it was a present from me Mother
He said I like it I want it, I’ll take it off your hands and you’ll be sorry
you crossed me, you’d better understand that you’re alone
a long way from home
And I say: I don’t like reggae no no, I love it
I don’t like reggae oh no, I love it
Don’t you cramp me style
Don’t you queer me pitch
Don’t you walk thru my words
‘Cause you ain’t heard me out yet
I hurried back to the swimming pool, sinkin’ pina colada
I heard a dark voice beside me say, would you like something harder
She said I’ve got it you want it, my harvest is the best
And if you try it you’ll like it and wallow in a dreadlock holiday
And I say: Don’t like Jamaica oh no, I love her
Don’t like Jamaica oh no, I love her oh yea
Don’t you walk through her words
You got to show some respect
Don’t you walk thru her words
‘Cause you ain’t heard her out yet
I don’t like cricket oh no, I love it (Dreadlock holiday)
I don’t like reggae oh no, I love it (Dreadlock holiday)
I don’t like Jamaica oh no
I love her (Dreadlock holiday)
10cc – I’m not in love 2
I’m not in love, so don’t forget it
It’s just a silly phase I’m going through
And just because I call you up
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because..
I like to see you, but then again
That doesn’t mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don’t make a fuss
Don’t tell your friends about the two of us
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because..
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that’s lying there
So don’t you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn’t mean that much to me
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because..
Ooh you’ll wait a long time for me
Ooh you’ll wait a long time 2 x
I’m not in love
So don’t forget it
It’s just a silly phase I’m going through
And just because I call you up
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made
I’m not in love
I’m not in love
ABBA – Dancing queen 3
Ooh you can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing, you come to look for a king
DAnybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
chorus:
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
You’re a teaser, you turn ‘em on
Leave ‘em burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
chorus
ABBA – Does Your Mother Know 4
You’re so hot, teasing me
so you’re blue but I can’t take a chance on a chick like you
That’s something I couldn’t do
There’s that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you’re only a child
chorus:
Well I can dance with you honey if you think it’s funny
Does your mother know that you’re out
And I can chat with you baby, flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you’re out
Take it easy (take it easy) better slow down girl
That’s no way to go, does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy) try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow, does your mother know?
I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I’m not the one
Now you’re so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile
But girl you’re only a child
chorus
Take it easy (take it easy) better slow down girl
chorus

ABBA – Eagle 5
They came flying from far away, now I’m under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They’ve seen places beyond my land and they’ve found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I’m an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
chorus:
Flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There’s no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real?
Is it true I’m an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?
chorus:
Flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
2 x
And to go anywhere that I please
ABBA – Fernando 6
Can you hear the drums Fernando
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I’m not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
chorus:
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose, there’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we’re old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
chorus 2 x
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
ABBA – Honey honey 7
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I’d heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you’re a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, don’t conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey
The way that you kiss goodnight
The way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing
brug:
I don’t wanna hurt you, baby, I don’t wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
But I’m gonna stick to you, boy
you’ll never get rid of me
There’s no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, touch me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
You look like a movie star
But I know just who you are
And, honey, to say the least, you’re a dog-gone beast
brug:
-instrumentaal-
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
-instrumentaal-
There’s no other place in this world where I rather would be

ABBA – Knowing me, knowing you 8
more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
tears in my eyes
This is where the story ends
this is goodbye
chorus:
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we’re through
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do
Memories, good days, bad days
They’ll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms
children would play
Now there’s only emptiness
nothing to say
chorus 2 x
ABBA – Mamma Mia 9
I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don’t know how but I suddenly lose control
There’s a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh
chorus:
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.
I’ve been angry and sad about the things that you do
I can’t count all the times that I’ve told you we’re through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won’t be away too long
You know that I’m not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh
chorus
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, it’s a game we play
Bye bye doesn’t mean forever
chorus.
ABBA – Ring ring 10
I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It’s a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing’s going right
Won’t you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?
Yes I’m down and feeling blue
And I don’t know what to do, oh-oh
chorus:
Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won’t you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Oh, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
You were here and now you’re gone
Hey did I do something wrong?
I just can’t believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won’t you hear me cry and you will know that my heart
is breaking
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
chorus
ABBA – Waterloo 11
My my
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
chorus:
Waterloo I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo finally facing my Waterloo
My my
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Oh yeah
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
chorus
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo- knowing my fate is to be with you
Oh, oh Waterloo- finally facing my Waterloo
Wooo Waterloo- knowing my fate is to be with you
Oh, oh Waterloo- finally facing my Waterloo
Waterloo- knowing my fate is to be with you
Beatles – The long and winding road 12
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I’ve been alone
And many times I’ve cried
Anyway you’ll never know
The many ways I’ve tried
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
-solo-
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
Bee Gees – How deep is your love 13
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I want to feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
chorus:
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
How deep is your love? I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you, you know the door to my very soul
You’re the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You’re my savior when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it’s me you need to show
chorus
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
chorus 3 x

When you smile it’s like a dream
And I’m so lucky ‘cause I found a boy like you

Yes, we’re lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together

Kate Bush – Wuthering heights 18
Out on the wiley, windy moors
We’d roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you, too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
chorus:
Heathcliff, it’s me, Cathy, come home, I’m so cold!
Let me in-a-your window 2 x

Falls through without you

My only master
Too long I roam in the night
I’m coming back to his side, to put it right
I’m coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
You know it’s me, Cathy!

The Carpenters – Close to you 20
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of golden
starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
-solo-
On the day that you were born

Carpenters – Top of the world 21
Such a feelin’s comin’ over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky Got the sun in my eyes
And I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear It’s because you are here
You’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve seen
chorus:
I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation
And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I’ve found
ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it’s tellin’ me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There’s a pleasin’ sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
chorus
Johnny Cash – A Thing Called Love 22
Six-foot-six, he stood on the ground
He weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of a man who would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him cryin’ like a little whipped pup because of love
[Chorus]
You can’t see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love
It can lift you up, never let you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time, nothing’s ever been found
That’s stronger than love
Most men are like me: they struggle in doubt
They trouble their minds, they in and they out
Too busy with livin’ to worry about a little word like love
But when I see a mother’s tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank God that the world’s been blessed
With a thing called love
[Chorus]
Ever since time, nothing’s ever been found
That’s stronger than love
Tina Charles – I love to love 23
Oh I love to love

Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Oh I love to love but there’s no time for our romance
No no no oh
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance .
The minute the band begins to swing it
He’s on his feet to dig it and dance the night away
Stop I’m spinning like a top
We’ll dance until we drop, but if I had my way
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
He wants to dance, he loves to dance, he’s got to dance
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Oh I love to love but he won’t give our love a chance
No no no oh
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance .
Stop I’m spinning like a top
We’ll dance until we drop
But if I had my way
Sundown instead of going downtown
We’ll stay at home and get down
To what I’m tryin’ to say
I love to love but my baby just loves to dance yeah yeah

I love to love but my baby just loves to dance, yes he does

Chicago – If you leave me now 24

And if you leave me now

Ooh, that’s why I’m easy

No!
Chorus
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, babe!

Alice Cooper – How You Gonna See Me Now 27
Dear darlin’ surprised to hear from me?
Bet you’re sittin’ drinkin’ coffee, yawnin’ sleepily
Just to let you know
I’m gonna be home soon
I’m kinda awkward and afraid
Time has changed your point of view
chorus:
How you gonna see me now
Please don’t see me ugly babe
‘Cause I know I let you down
In oh so many ways
How you gonna see me now
Since we’ve been on our own
Are you gonna love the man
When the man gets home
Listen darlin’ now I’m heading for the west
Straightened out my head but my old heart is still a mess
Yes I’m worried honey
Guess that’s natural though
It’s like I’m waiting for a welcome sign
Like a hobo in the snow
chorus
And just like the first time we’re just strangers again
I might have grown out of style in the place I’ve been
And just like the first time I’ll be shakin’ inside
When I walk in the door there’ll be no place to hide
How you gonna see me now
Please don’t see me ugly babe
‘Cause I know I let you down
In oh so many ways

chorus
John Denver – Annie’s song 28
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
John Denver – Calypso 29
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and living
In search of the answers to the questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand
chorus:
Aye Calypso the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be
chorus 2 x
John Denver – Take Me Home Country Roads 30
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze.
Chorus:
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
All my memories gathered ‘round her,
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine,
Teardrop in my eye.
chorus
I hear her voice, in the mornin’ hour she calls me,
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling that
I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
chorus
Doobie Brothers – Listen to the music 31
Don’t you feel it growing, day by day
People getting ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad

What the people need is a way to make ‘em smile
It ain’t so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message, get it on through
Oh now mama, don’t you ask me why
chorus:
Whoa listen to the music
Whoa listen to the music
Whoa listen to the music
all the time
Well I know, you know better everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We’ll be happy and we’ll dance
Oh, we’re gonna dance our blues away
And if I’m feeling good to you and you’re feeling good to me
There ain’t nothing we can’t do or say
Feeling good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play
chorus
Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Listening for the happy sounds and I got to let them fly
chorus
The Eagles – Hotel California 32
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She’s got the Mercedes benz
She’s got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain, Please bring me my wine
He said: “We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969”
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
They’re livin’ it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice
And she said: “We are all just prisoners here of our own device”
In the master’s chambers they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
but they just can’t kill the beast
solo
Last thing I remember I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
“Relax”, said the nightman “We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like but you can never leave
Roberta Flack – Killing Me Softly 33
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song,
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him,
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy,
A stranger to my eyes
chorus
I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters,
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on
chorus
He sang as if he knew me,
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me, As if I wasn’t there
And he just kept on singing,
Singing clear and strong
chorus 2 x
He was strumming my pain
Yeah, he was singing my life
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Fleetwood Mac – Dreams 34
Now here you go again, you say
You want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It’s only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost, and what you had, and what you lost
chorus:
Thunder only happens when it’s raining
Players only love you when they’re playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know
you’ll know
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself, it’s only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and,
Have you any dreams you’d like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering, what you had,
And what you lost and what you had and what you lost
chorus 2 x
You’ll know, you will know, you’ll know
Fleetwood Mac – Don’t stop 35
If you wake up and don’t want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You’ll see things in a different way
chorus:
Don’t stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be, better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you’ve done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
chorus
All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don’t believe that it’s true,
I never meant any harm to you.

Fleetwood Mac – Go Your Own Way 36
Loving you
Isn’t the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel
If I could
Maybe I’d give you my world
How can I when you won’t take it from me
chorus:
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Everything turned around
Packing up, shacking up’s all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I’d give you my world
Open up, everything’s waiting for you

Fleetwood Mac – You Make Loving Fun 38
Sweet wonderful you,
You make me happy with the things you do,
Oh, can it be so,
This feeling follows me wherever I go.
I never did believe in miracles,
But I’ve a feeling it’s time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But I’m beginning to wonder why.
I never did believe in miracles,
But I’ve a feeling it’s time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But I’m beginning to wonder why.
Don’t, don’t break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will,
You, you make loving fun,
And I don’t have to tell you but you’re the only one.
You, you make loving fun
It’s all I want to do
You, you make loving fun
It’s all I want to do
You, you make loving fun
It’s all I want to do
You, you make loving fun
It’s all I want to do
Michel Fugain – Une Belle Histoire 39
C’est un beau roman, c’est une belle histoire
C’est une romance d’aujourd’hui
Il rentrait chez lui, là-haut vers le brouillard
Elle descendait dans le midi, le midi
Ils se sont trouvés au bord du chemin
Sur l’autoroute des vacances
C’était sans doute un jour de chance
Ils avaient le ciel à portée de main
Un cadeau de la Providence
Alors pourquoi penser au lendemain?
Ils se sont cachés dans un grand champ de blé
Se laissant emporter par le courant
Se sont raconté leur vie qui commençait
Ils n’étaient encore que des enfants, des enfants
Qui s’étaient trouvés au bord du chemin
Sur l’autoroute des vacances
C’était sans doute un jour de chance
Qui cueillirent le ciel au creux de leurs mains
Comme on cueille la Providence
Refusant de penser au lendemain
C’est un beau roman, c’est une belle histoire
C’est une romance d’aujourd’hui
Il rentrait chez lui, là-haut vers le brouillard
Elle descendait dans le midi, le midi
Ils se sont quittés au bord du matin
Sur l’autoroute des vacances
C’était fini le jour de chance
Ils reprirent alors chacun leur chemin
Saluèrent la Providence
En se faisant un signe de la main
Il rentra chez lui, là-haut vers le brouillard
Elle est descendue là-bas dans le …………. midi

Gloria Gaynor – I Will Survive 39a
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
And so you’re back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I’d known for just one second you’d be back to bother me
chorus:
Go on now, go! Walk out the door
Just turn around now cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive, hey hey
It took all the strength I had, not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
and you see me, somebody new
I’m not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I’m saving all my lovin’ for someone who’s loving me
chorus
(Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye)
Oh…… chorus

Billy Joel – Just the way you are 41
Don’t go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore
I wouldn’t leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times; I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are
Don’t go trying some new fashion
Don’t change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
brug:
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?
I said I love you and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
Billy Joel – Always a woman to me 42
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes.
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies.
And she only reveals what she wants you to see.
She hides like a child, but she’s always a woman to me.
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you.
She can ask for the truth but she’ll never believe.
And she’ll take what you’ll give her as long as it’s free.
Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she’s always a woman to me.
chorus:
Oooh, she takes care of herself.
She can wait if she wants, she’s ahead of her time.
Oooooh, and she never gives out, and she never gives in,
she just changes her mind.
And she’ll promise you more than the Garden of Eden.
And she’ll carelesly cut you and laugh while you’re bleeding.
But she’ll bring out the best and the worst you can be.
Blame it all on yourself, cause she’s always a woman to me.
Hmmmmmm Mmmmmm Hmmmmm Mmmmmm
chorus
She is frequently kind and she’s suddenly cruel.
But she can do as she pleases, she’s nobody’s fool.
And she can’t be convicted, she’s earned her degree.
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,
but she’s always a woman to me.
Hmmmmmm

Lucifer – House For Sale 44a
The sign went up one rainy morning
Just a couple of hours after dawn
Mrs Handley peaked out through her curtains
Wondering what was going on
The neighbours said over coffee cups
That nice young couple is breaking up
In the living room the linen and the crystals
Sit all packed and set to go
I tell myself once more I won`t be here this spring
To see my roses grow
And all the things you tried to fix
The roof still leaks the door still sticks
chorus:
House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine
And tomorrow some strangers will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share
I know you`ve always loved that painting
From that funny little shop in Spain
Remember how we found it when we ducked in
From that sudden summer rain
But I think I`ll keep the silver tray
My mother gave us on our wedding day

Don McLean – Vincent (Starry Starry Night) 48
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey, look out on a summer’s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils, catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they’ll listen now.
Starry starry night
Flaming flo’rs that brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent’s eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain, weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they’ll listen now.
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night.
You took your life as lovers often do; but I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
Starry starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls, frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget.
Like the stranger that you’ve met
The ragged men in ragged clothes, the silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they’re not list’ning still
perhaps they never will.
Meatloaf – Paradise by dashboard the light 49
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh, so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C’mon, hold on tight, c’mon, hold on tight
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Ain’t no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed
‘Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed
Ain’t no doubt about it
Baby got to go out and shout it
Ain’t no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed
‘Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Baby don’t ya hear my heart? You got it drowing out the radio
I’ve been waiting so long for you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let you know, no, you’re never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise, it’ll feel all right
Well, I wanna make you motor run
And now our bodies are oh, so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C’mon, hold on tight, C’mon, hold on tight
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night

Let me sleep on it and I’ll give you an answer in the morning –
I gotta know right now! Do you love me?will you etc. Let me sleep on it, baby baby etc
Do you LOVE ME?? Will you love me forever?
‘Let me sleep on it!’ ‘Will you love me forever?’
I couldn’t take it any longer, Lord, I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time
So now I’m praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive
‘Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don’t think that I can really survive
I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I’m praying for the end of time, that’s all that I can do
I’m praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you
It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
It never felt so good, It never felt so right
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Liza Minelli – New York, New York 49a
Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it, in old New York
If I can… make it there, I’ll make it…. anywhere
It’s up to you, New York, New York
omhoog
…… New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find I’m A number one, head of the list,
Cream of the crop, at the top of the heap.
(langzaam)These little town blues, are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it, in old New York
And….if I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere

It’s up to you, New York, New York

Normaal – Oerend Hard 51
Ik zeg oeh! (Oeh!) Ik zeg ah! (Ah!) Ik zeg oeh! (Oeh!) Oeh! (Oeh!)
Oehoe oehoerend hard kwamen zie daor aangescheurd
Oehoe oehoerend hard want zie hadden van de motorcross geheurd
Langzaam rijden dat deeien zie nooit
Dat vonden zie toch maar tied verknooid
Bertus op zien Norton en Tinus op de BSA
Naar de motorcross op het Hengelse Zand
De hoender en de vrouw
Die stoven aan de kant
Bertus op zien Norton en Tinus op de BSA
refrein: Zie gingen oeh, oehoe oehoe
Oehoe oehoe oehoerend hard
Zie gingen oeh, oehoe oehoe
Oehoe oehoe oehoerend hard
Oehoe oehoerend hard scheurden zie na de cross naar huus
Oehoe oehoerend hard want dan waren zie eerder thuus
Zie hadden ellerbarstend gein gehad
Zie waren allebei een heel klein beetjen zat
Bertus op zien Norton en Tinus op de BSA
Aan ’t gevaor hadden zie nog nooit gedacht
Zie waren koning op de weg en dachten alles mag
Bertus op zien Norton en Tinus op de BSA
chorus
Maar zoals altied kom an dat gejakker een end
Deur ’n zatte kerel die de snelheid van een motor niet kent
Bertus ree d’r op en Tinus kwam d’r vlak achteran
Iedereen die zei van die lui heur-ie nooit meer wat van
Zie gingen nooit, nee nee nooit, nooit meer oerend hard 2x
Maar wie gaot oeh, oehoe oehoe, oehoe oehoe oehoerend hard Maar wie gaot oeh, oehoe oehoe, oehoe oehoe oehoerend hard herhalen
Billy Paul – Me and Mrs. Jones 52
Chorus:
Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing, goin’ on
We both know that it’s wrong
But it’s much too strong, to let it go now
We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty and no one knows she’ll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the juke box plays our favorite songs
chorus
We gotta be extra careful
That do we don’t build our hopes up too high
Because she’s got her own obligations
And so, and so, do I
chorus
Well, it’s time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she’ll go her way and I’ll go mine
Tomorrow we’ll meet
The same place, the same time
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin’ on
We gotta be extra careful
We can’t afford to build our hopes up too high
I wanna meet and talk with you
At the same place, the same cafe, the same time
And we gonna holBd hands like we used to
We gonna talk it over, talk it over
We know, they know, and you know what I know that it was wrong
But our thing is strong, we gotta let ‘em know now
That we gotta thing going on, a thing going on
Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody 53
Is this the real life, is this just fantasy -Caught in a landslide no escape from reality
Open your eyes. look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I’m easy come, easy go, a little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun but now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo, didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I’ve got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo, I don’t want to die, I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo Figaro – magnifico
But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah! No we will not let you go – let him go 3 x
Will not let you go – let me go (never), never let you go let me go
Never let me go ooo, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me solo
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby can’t do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here solo
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows

Queen – We Are the Champions 56
I’ve paid my dues
time after time
I’ve done my sentence
but committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
but I’ve come through
(And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)
chorus:
We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end
We are the champions, we are the champions
No time for losers ‘cause we are the champions
of the world
I’ve taken my bows
and my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it’s been no bed of roses
no pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
and I ain’t gonna lose
(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
chorus 2 x
Wim Sonneveld – Het dorp 57
Thuis heb ik nog een ansichtkaart waarop een kerk een kar met paard
een slagerij J. van der Ven.
Een kroeg, een juffrouw op de fiets, het zegt u hoogstwaarschijnlijk niets,
maar ’t is waar ik geboren ben.
Dit dorp, ik weet nog hoe het was, de boerenkind’ren in de klas,
een kar die ratelt op de keien,
het raadhuis met een pomp ervoor, een zandweg tussen koren door,
het vee, de boerderijen.
Refrein:
En langs het tuinpad van m’n vader
zag ik de hoge bomen staan.
Ik was een kind en wist niet beter,
dan dat nooit voorbij zou gaan.
Wat leefden ze eenvoudig toen in simp’le huizen tussen groen
met boerenbloemen en een heg.
Maar blijkbaar leefden ze verkeerd, het dorp is gemoderniseerd
en nou zijn ze op de goeie weg.
Want ziet, hoe rijk het leven is, ze zien de televisiequiz
en wonen in betonnen dozen
met flink veel glas, dan kun je zien hoe of het bankstel staat bij Mien
en d’r dressoir met plastic rozen
Refrein
De dorpsjeugd klit wat bij elkaar in minirok en beatle-haar
en joelt wat mee met beat-muziek.
Ik weet wel, het is hun goeie recht, de nieuwe tijd, net wat u zegt,
maar het maakt me wat melancholiek.
Ik heb hun vaders nog gekend, ze kochten zoethout voor een cent
ik zag hun moeders touwtjespringen.
Dat dorp van toen, het is voorbij, dit is al wat er bleef voor mij:
een ansicht en herinneringen.
Toen ik langs het tuinpad van m’n vader
de hoge bomen nog zag staan.
Ik was een kind, hoe kon ik weten
dat dat voorgoed voorbij zou gaan.
Simon & Garfunkel – the Boxer 58
I am just a poor boy. Though my story’s seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jests. Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmmmm
When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
in the quiet of the railway station, running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
Asking only workman’s wages I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there, le le le le le le le
solo
Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
Then I’m laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone, going home
Where the New York City winters aren’t bleeding me,
Leading me, going home
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
“I am leaving, I am leaving” but the fighter still remains, mmm mmm
Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
Starland Vocal Band – Afternoon delight 59
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto’s always been ‘when it’s right, it’s right’
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything’s a little clearer in the light of day..
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way..
Thinkin’ of you’s workin’ up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin’ sticks and stones together, makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin’ you is getting so exciting
chorus:
Sky rockets in flight- afternoon delight
Afternoon delight > 2 x
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who wouldn’t bite
But you’ve got some bait a waitin’ and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
chorus
-solo-
Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around..
We could make a lot of lovin’ ‘for the sun goes down..
Thinkin’ of you’s workin’ up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin’ sticks and stones together, makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin’ you is getting so exciting
chorus
Afternoon delight 2 x
Cat Stevens – Morning has broken 60
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day
Tavares – Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel 61
Chorus:
Heaven must be missin’ an angel
Missin’ one angel, child, ‘cause you’re here with me right now
Your love is heavenly, baby
Heavenly to me, baby
Your kiss, filled with tenderness
I want all I can get of your sexiness
Showers, your love comes in showers
And every hour on the hour
You let me feel your loving power
There’s a rainbow over my shoulder
When you came, my cup runneth over
You gave me your heavenly love
And if one night you hear crying from above
chorus
Ooh, heaven (heaven) 4 x
Ooh, I’m captured by your spell
You’re different, girl, I can tell
When you’re layin’ on my pillow, baby
Above your pretty head
There’s a halo, that’s why I know
chorus
Ooh, my sweet little angel (heaven)
My pretty little angel (heaven)
I love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, baby (heaven)
Say it right now (heaven)
Ooh, heaven (heaven)
etc
James Taylor – You’ve got a friend 62
When you’re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
chorus:
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you’ve got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep you head together
And call my name out loud now
Soon you’ll hear me knocking at you door
chorus
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
people can be so cold
they’ll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them, don’t you let ‘em
chorus
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend
Oh, ye yeah, you’ve got a friend
Stevie Wonder – Isn’t she lovely 63
Isn’t she lovely
Isn’t she wonderful
Isn’t she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we’d be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn’t she lovely made from love
Isn’t she pretty
Truly the angel’s best
Boy, I’m so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can’t believe what God has done
Through us he’s given life to one
But isn’t she lovely made from love
Isn’t she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That’s so very lovely made from love
