ABBA thank you for the music                                                                          1

I’m nothing special in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

CHORUS           So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be, without a song or a dance, what are we
So I say, thank you for the music, for giving it to me.

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
Mm-mm, she says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

chorus

            I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
            I wanna sing it out to everybody
            What a joy, what a life, what a chance

chorus


Mother says i was a dancer before i could walk
She says i began to sing long before i could talk
And i’ve often wondered how did it all start ?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well whoever it was im a fan

chorus


So i say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

ABBA the day before you came                                                                 2

I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I’m certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned


I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch

at half past twelve or so, the usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I’m pretty sure it must have rained

the day before you came

I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away


At five I must have left, there’s no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I’ve done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again

undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I’m sure my life was well within it’s usual frame

the day before you came

Must have opened my front door at eight o’clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I’m sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There’s not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn’t see


I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It’s funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came

And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

ABBA – One of Us                                                               2a

They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it’s different, I want you to know

chorus:
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That’s how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I’ve changed and I want you to know

chorus
never left at all


Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call

Abba – The winner takes it all                                 2b

I don’t wanna talk about the things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me, now it’s history
I’ve played all my cards, and that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play

The winner takes it all, the loser standing small
Beside the victory, that’s her destiny

I was in your arms, thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense, building me a fence
Building me a home, thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool, playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here, loses someone dear
The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall
It’s simple and it’s plain, why should I complain?

But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same when she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you
But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide the likes of me abide
Spectators of the show, always staying low
The game is on again, a lover or a friend
A big thing or a small, the winner takes it all

I don’t wanna talk if it makes you feel sad
And I understand you’ve come to shake my hand
I apologize if it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence

But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

All that she wants  –  ace of base                                     3

she leads a lonely life
she leads a lonely life

when she woke up late in the morning light
and the day had just begun
she opened up her eyes and thought
oh what a morning

it`s not a day for work
it`s a day for catching tan
just laying on the beach and having fun
she`s going to get you

all that she wants is another baby
she`s gone tomorrow boy
all that she wants is another baby, yeah
all that she wants is another baby
she`s gone tomorrow boy
all that she wants is another baby, yeah

so if you are in sight and the day is right
she`s the hunter you`re the fox
the gentle voice that talks to you won`t talk forever

it is a night for passion
but the morning means goodbye
beware of what is flashing in her eyes
she`s going to get you

all that she  wants    2 x

Brian Adams – Heaven                                                        4

Oh thinkin’ about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin’ can take you away from me
We’ve been down that road before
But that’s over now
You keep me comin’ back for more


Chorus:
Baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heaven


Oh – once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you’re feelin’ down
Ya-nothin’ could change what you mean to me
Oh there’s lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way


Chorus

I’ve been waitin’ for so long
For somethin’ to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin’ true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya – I’ll be standin’ there by you

Brian Adams – Summer of ’69                                               5

I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled, it was the summer of ’69

Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Joey got married, I should’ve known we’d never get far

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I’d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life (hey)

Ain’t no use in complainin’ when you got a job to do
Spent my evenin’s down at the drive-in

and that’s when I met you! yeah

chorus:             Standin’ on your mama’s porch
                                    You told me that you’d wait forever
                                    Oh and when you held my hand
                                    I knew that it was now or never
                                    Those were the best days of my life

                                    Back in the summer of ’69

Man we were killin’ time, we were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin’ can last forever – forever, no…


And now the times are changin’

Look at everything that’s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about you wonder what went wrong

chorus

Bryan Adams/Tina Turner – It’s Only Love                       5a

When the feelin’ is ended
There ain’t no use pretendin’
Don’t ya worry it’s only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain’t nothin’ else matters
It ain’t over it’s only love, that’s all yeah


When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain’t easy but it’s only love
And if your life ain’t worth livin’
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember that it’s only love

that’s all it is baby

it’s only love

       You can live without the aggravation
       Ya gotta wanna win ya gotta wanna win
       You keep lookin’ back in desperation
       Over and over and over again                  

                         ***
Yeah yeah
It’s only love baby (it’s only love baby)
Yeah, it’s only love, love, love (it’s only love love love)
When your world is shattered
Ain’t nothin’ else matters
It ain’t over it’s only love

If your life ain’t worth livin’
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember that it’s only love
Yeah, that’s all

       -it’s only love – it’s only love baby
       -it’s only love, love, love (it’s only love love love)
Yeah it ain’t easy baby
But it’s only love – and that’s all!

Aha – Take on me                                                               6

We’re talking away
I don’t know what I’m to say, I’ll say it anyway
Today’s another day to find you
Shying away, I’ll be coming for your love, okay?

Chorus:
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I’m odds and ends, I’ll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It’s no better to be safe than sorry

chorus

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or just to play my worries away
You’re all the things I’ve got to remember
You’re shying away
I’ll be coming for you anyway

chorus

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I’ll be gone (take on me)
In a day (take me on) (take on me)

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
Take on me

Ashford & Simpson – Solid                                               6a

And for love’s sake, each mistake you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away – it was no time to play
We built it up, built it up, built it up

chorus:

And now it’s solid, solid as a rock

that’s what this love is
That’s what we’ve got
Solid, solid as a rock
And nothing’s changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

You didn’t turn away when the sky went gray
Somehow we managed, we had to stay together
You didn’t bat an eye when I made you cry
We knew down the line, we could make it better

And for love’s sake, each mistake you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away – it was no time to play
We built it up, built it up, built it up

chorus

Knock knock on wood, you understood

Love was so new, we did what we had to
And with that feeling we were willing to take a chance
So against all odds we made a start
We got serious
This wouldn’t turn to dust
We built it up, built it up, built it up

chorus solid!

Rick Astley  –  Never gonna give you up                                      6b

We’re no strangers to love, you know the rules and so do I
A full commitments what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy.
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling, gotta make you understand.

chorus
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching, but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it.
And if you askme how I’m feeling don’t tell me you’re too blind to see.

Chorus 2 x

(Ooh, give you up, ooh, give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up)

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching, but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it.
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling, gotta make you understand.

Bangles – Walk like an Egyptian                                                       9

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don’t you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They’re falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

Walk like an Egyptian

Blond waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They’ve got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink and they give you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They’re walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian                                    solo  fluitsolo

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops
They’re hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh 

Walk like an Egyptian 2 x

Pat Benatar – Love is a battlefield                                     10

chorus:

We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand

No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield


Whoo

We are strong
No one can tell us we’re wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You’re begging me to go, then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
It would help me to know, do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you’ve had

Believe me, believe me, I can’t tell you why
But I’m trapped by your love
And I’m chained to your side

chorus

When I’m losing control, will you turn me away
Or touch me deep inside
And when all this gets old, will it still feel the same
There’s no way this will die


But if we get much closer I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you’ll need me to hold

chorus

Berlin – Take my breath away                                    11

Watching every motion in my foolish lover’s game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting, still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion in this foolish lover’s game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there’s a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn my way and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Rory Block – Loving whiskey                                                          12

Well if you live in dusty twilight baby, that’s OK
‘Cause there are women at the bar to greet you everyday

And you can take them back to lie with you and visit Jamie’s room
But they can never take the pain away or brighten all the gloom

And if your hands are cleansed with sorrow
May it help you ease your pain
Though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain

And if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me
May it hit the painful memories, maybe then you’ll see

That if you drown yourself in liquor because it keeps you company
Then just remember who you’re losing and be proud to set me free

Because it don’t talk back or disagree
It just makes you see so hazily
But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind
Scattered with the wind

Well they tell you on the telephone to let him go
I said they tell you he’s a sinking ship and he’s trying to pull you down
Don’t you know

That every time you call me up and say you want me back
You know you break my heart
You said you want me to come back home and try again
You want me to make a brand new start

But if wisdom says to let him go

then it’s hell, because you just don’t know
Until you’ve tried to love a man who’s loving whiskey, loving whiskey

solo

My baby left me for the bottle and the lure of the nightlife
Good times and crazy women and another glass of Tanqueray

But if wisdom says to let him go

then it’s hell, because you just don’t know
Until you’ve tried to love a man who’s loving whiskey, loving whiskey

Bon Jovi – Dead or alive                                                    13

It’s all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we’re wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I’d drive all night just to get back home

[Chorus:]
I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it’s not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you’re alone all you do is think

[Chorus]

I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, ‘cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, and I’m standing tall
I’ve seen a million faces an I’ve rocked them all

I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
I’m a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I’m wanted dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive [x4]

Living on a prayer  –  Bon Jovi                                                         14

Once upon a time, not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union´s been on strike
He´s down on his luck, it´s tough, so tough


Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love – for love

She says we´ve got to hold on to what we´ve got
it doesn´t make a difference if we make it or not
We´ve got each other and that´s a lot
For love – we´ll give it a shot

Woh we´re half way there
Whoo Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand- we´ll make it I swear
Whoo Livin’ on a prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he´s holding in what he used
To make it talk – so tough, it´s tough


Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby it´s okay, someday


We´ve got to hold on to what we´ve got
it doesn´t make a difference if we make it or not
We´ve got each other and that´s a lot
For love – we´ll give it a shot

chorus

Solo
We´ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when that´s all that you´ve got     chorus

Bon Jovi  –  shooting star                                     15

Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song

Love Me Do, I think it was and from there it didn’t take him long

Got himself a guitar, used to play every night

Now he’s in a rock & roll outfit

and everything’s all right, don’t you know?

chorus

Don’t you know that you are a shooting star? Don’t you know

Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?

And all the world is gonna love you

just as long as long as you are

Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one

Suddenly everybody wanted to hear him sing the song

Watching the world go by, surprisin’ it goes so fast

Johnny looked around him and said, I made it big time at last

Don’t you know, oh yeah

chorus

Johnny died one night, died in his bed

Bottle of whiskey, sleepin’ tablets in his head

Johnny’s life passed him by like a warm summer day

When you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play

Don’t you know, oh yeah

chorus

Bow wow wow  – Do you wanna hold me                                 16

Children, I wanna warn ya
‘Cause I’ve been to California
Where Mickey Mouse is such a demon
Where Mickey Mouse is as big as a house

Ba da ba ba da ba

Life is wasted on illusion
Tom and Jerry’s no solution
Evil games for cartoon demons
Pinocchio’s a real boy, look around!

Ba da ba ba da ba

And I cry all night
Do you wanna hold me, hold me tight?
Do you wanna hold me? Oh yeah
Do you wanna hold me, hold me there?

Children, you got to hear me
You just got to understand me
Love and death ain’t no physical thing
‘Cause Mickey Mouse, he don’t wanna know!


Ba da ba ba da ba

And I cry all night
Do you wanna hold me, hold me tight?
Do you wanna hold me? Oh yeah
Do you wanna hold me, hold me there?
Do you wanna?

And I cry all night
Do you wanna hold me, hold me tight?

David Bowie – Absolute beginners                                            17

I’ve nothing much to offer
There’s nothing much to take
I’m an absolute beginner
And I’m absolutely sane


As long as we’re together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we’re absolute beginners


With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same


chorus:
If our love song could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean, just like the films
There’s no reason to feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It’s absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can’t shake
Oh we’re absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake


As long as you’re still smiling
There’s nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we’re absolute beginners


But if my love is your love
We’re certain to succeed

chorus:
If our love song could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches, just like the films
There’s no reason to feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It’s absolutely true

David Bowie – China girl                                                18

I couldn’t escape this feeling with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing

I’m a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the morning, where’s my little China Girl
I hear her heart’s beating loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing down

I’m feeling tragic like I’m Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It’s in the white of my eyes

My little China Girl
You shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything you are
You know;
I’ll give you television
I’ll give you eyes of blue
I’ll give you men who want to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says … sh-sh-shhh

In new york city

David Bowie – Let’s dance                                         20

Let’s dance

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let’s dance
To the songs playin’ on the radio

Let’s sway
While colour lights up your face
Let’s sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I’ll run with you
If you say hide, we’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let’s dance
For fear your grace should fall
Let’s dance
For fear tonight is all

Let’s sway
You could look into my eyes
Let’s sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

And if you say run, I’ll run with you
And if you say hide, we’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let’s dance

David Bowie – Modern love                                                           21                                                           

I know when to get out, and when to stay in, get things done

I catch a paper boy
But things don’t really change
I’m standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try

There’s no sign of life
It’s just the power to charm
I’m lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try

chorus

Never gonna fall for
Modern love – walks beside me
Modern love – walks on by
Modern love – gets me to the church on time
Church on time – terrifies me
Church on time – makes me party
Church on time – puts my trust in god and man
God and man – no confessions
God and man – no religion
God and man – don’t believe in modern love

solo


It’s not really work
It’s just the power to charm
I’m still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye

But I try, I try

chorus
Modern love herh.

David Bowie – This is not America                                      22

This is not America, sha la la la la

A little piece of you, the little peace in me
Will die [This is not a miracle]
For this is not America

Blossom fails to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long [This is not America]
For this is not the miracle

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea

For this is not America, sha la la la la


This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la la

Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground [This could be the biggest sky]
So bloody red tomorrow’s clouds

A little piece of you, the little piece in me
Will die [This could be a miracle]
For this is not America

There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea

For this is not America, sha la la la la


This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la   3 x

David Bowie & Freddie Mercury – Under pressure    23

Pressure, pushing down on me

pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure, that burns a building down

splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

umbababeh   tidada tidada that’s okay

It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming `Let me out’
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Padada, okay
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours

edoo babeh

People on streets, dee doh dee da dee

It’s the terror of knowing  etc

Pressure on people, people on streets
Turned away from it all, like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don’t work
Keep coming up with love but it’s so slashed and torn
Why why why?       Love love love love

Insanity laughs, under pressure we’re cracking
Can’t we give ourselves one more chance
Why can’t we give love one more chance
Why can’t we give love, give love etc

Cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance (x2) this is ourselves Under pressure

Edie Brickell – Circle                                                 24

Me, I’m a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don’t come around
Me, I think it all depends
on you touching ground with us. but

Chorus:
I quit. I give up.
Nothing’s good enough for anybody else, it seems.
And I quit. I give up.
Nothing’s good enough for anybody else it seems.

And being alone is the best way to be.
When I’m by myself it’s the best way to be.
When I’m all alone it’s the best way to be.
When I’m by myself nobody else can say

Goodbye.

Everything is temporary anyway.
When the streets are wet the color slip into the sky.
But I don’t know why that means you and I are

that means you and

chorus

Me, I’m a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don’t come around.


Jackson Browne – You’re a friend of mine              25

Striking out? Well count me in
I’m gonna stand right by your side

through thick or thin
Ain’t no doubt, we’re gonna win
A walk through hell ain’t bad compared to where we’ve been

Oh you can depend on me over and over

over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who always makes you laugh

until you cry
And you can call on me

until the day you die

Years may come and go

here’s one thing I know
All my life you’re a friend of mine

I never introduced my favorite ones to you

Stop – Sam Brown                                                                                26

All that I have is all that you’ve given me
did you ever worry that I’d come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
now I find you’ve lied and I can’t believe it’s true

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
and I can’t help but wonder if she knows what’s going on
you talk of love but you don’t know how it feels
when you realise that you’re not the only one

chorus  Oh you’d better stop before you tear me all apart
                        you’d better stop before you go and break my heart
                        ooh you’d better stop

Time after time I’ve tried to walk away
but it’s not that easy when your soul is torn in two
so I just resign myself to it every day
now all I can do is to leave it up to you

                        Oh you’d better stop before you tear me all apart
                        you’d better stop before you go and break my heart
                        ooh you’d better stop

Kate Bush – Cloudbusting                                                                  27

I still dream of Orgonon, I wake up crying.
You’re making rain, and you’re just in reach,
When you and sleep escape me.

You’re like my yo-yo that glowed in the dark.
What made it special made it dangerous,
So I bury it.. and forget.

But every time it rains, you’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

On top of the world, looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small in their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.

I hid my yo-yo in the garden.
I can’t hide you from the government.
Oh, God, Daddy, I won’t forget

‘Cause every time it rains, you’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna to happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

It’s you and me, daddy              Yeahieyeahieyeah


every time it rains you’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out, like your son’s coming out,
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
Ooh, just saying it could even make it happen.

We’ve been cloudbusting daddy

Your sun’s coming out. Your son’s coming out.

Kate Bush – Running up that hill                                                          28

It didn’t hurt me. Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn’t hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I’m making?

You, It’s you and me.

Chorus:

And if I only could, I’d make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places
Be running up that road, be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh…

You don’t want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware, I’m tearing you asunder.
Ooh, There is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones who love?
Tell me we both matter don’t we?

You, it’s you and me,
It’s you and me who won’t be unhappy.

chorus

You,  it’s you and me,
It’s you and me who won’t be unhappy.

Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on angel, come on come on darlin’

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with God,

Tracey Chapman – Fast Car                                                                                    31

You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better, starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something, me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us out of here
I’ve been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won’t have to drive too far, just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs and fin’lly see what it means to be living

See my old man’s got a problem

he lives with the bottle that’s the way it is
He says his bodys too old for working

I say his bodys too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him

she wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebodys got to take care of him

so I quit school and that’s what I did

You got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision, we leave tonight or live and die this way
chorus:
I remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car, we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job and I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better, you’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter, buy a big house and live in the suburbs
chorus

You got a fast car, I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better

thought maybe together you and me’d find it
I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere

so take your fast car and keep on driving

chorus

You got a fast car, but is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision, you leave tonight or live and die this way

Cheers – where everybody knows your name.      32

Making your way in the world today

takes everything you’ve got

Taking a break from all your worries

sure would help a lot

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name

and they’re always glad you came

You wanna be where you can see

our troubles are all the same

you wanna be where everybody knows your name.

You wanna go where people know

people are all the same,
You wanna be where everybody knows your name.

Hard to say i’m sorry – Chicago                                             33

“Everybody needs a little time away,”

I heard her say, “from each other.”
“Even lover’s need a holiday far away from each other.”

Hold me now, it’s hard for me to say I’m sorry.
I just want you to stay
After all that we’ve been through,
I will make it up to you, I promise to
And after all that’s been said and done
You’re just the part of me I can’t let go

Couldn’t stand to be kept away
just for the day from your body.
Wouldn’t wanna be swept away,
far away from the one that I love


Hold me now.
It’s hard for me to say I’m sorry.
I just want you to know.
Hold me now. I really want to tell you I’m sorry.
I could never let you go.

After all that we’ve been through,
I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that’s been said and done,
You’re just the part of me I can’t let go.

After all that we’ve been through,
I will make it up to you. I promise to.

You’re gonna be the lucky one.

You’re the inspiration  –  Chicago                                             34

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go

In my soul, baby

CHORUS:
You’re the meaning in my life
You’re the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You’re the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin’
No one needs you more than I need you

And i know, yes I know that it’s plain to see
We’re so in love when we’re together

From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul

Phil Collins – Against all odds                                                             36

How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
‘Cause we’ve shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

chorus:

So take a look at me now
Well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Ooh, Take a look at me now
Well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

chorus

Now Take a look at me now
‘Cause that’s just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that’s what I’ve got to face

Take a good look at me now
‘Cause I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve got to take


Take a look at me now

Phil Collins & Philip Bailey – Easy Lover                                             37

chorus:
Easy lover, she’ll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover
She’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other
And I’m just trying to make you see

She’s the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You’d better forget it, you’ll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it, oh you’ll regret it

                        No you’ll never change her, so leave it, leave it
                        Get out quick ‘cause seeing is believing
                        It’s the only way you’ll ever know


chorus


You’re the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You’d better forget it, you’ll never get it
For she’ll say there’s no other
Till she finds another
Better forget it, oh you’ll regret it

                        And don’t try to change her, just leave it, leave it
                        You’re not the only one, cause seeing is believing
                        It’s the only way you’ll ever know, oh

Phil Collins – In the air tonight                                     38

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well if you told me you were drowning

I would not lend a hand
I’ve seen your face before my friend

but I don’t know if you know who I am


Well I was there and I saw what you did

I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies

chorus:

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember don’t worry
How could I ever forget
It’s the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No you don’t fool me
The hurt doesn’t show but the pain still grows
It’s no stranger to you and me

Phil Collins – One more night                                                       39

And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night
Give me one more night
One more night ‘cause I can’t wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night

Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you’re not alone

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, ‘cause I can’t wait forever


I know there’ll never be a time you’ll ever feel the same
And I know it’s only words
But if you change your mind you know that I’ll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, ‘cause I can’t wait forever
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, ‘cause I can’t wait forever

Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin – Separate lives                    40

You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you’re alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

Chorus:

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
We can’t go on just holding on to time
Now that we’re living separate lives

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we’re living (living)
Separate lives

Ooh, it’s so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger

chorus


Yes for now, we’ll go on living separate lives

Crowded house – Four seasons in one day                             42

Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain

Even when you’re feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day

Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again

You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can’t explain
Four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

It doesn’t pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

Crowded House – Weather with you                         43

Walking ‘round the room singing Stormy Weather
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well it’s the same room, but everything’s different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream

Things ain’t cookin’ in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn’t conquer the blue sky

Well, there’s a small boat made of china
It’s going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather

the weather with you

mondharmonica stukje

There’s the loving in your eyes
All the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
I’m a man without conviction
I’m a man who doesn’t know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Didn’t hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling, our love is strong
When you go, you’re gone forever
You string along, you string along

chorus

bridge:
Every day is like survival
You’re my lover, not my rival

You come and go, you come and go

Debarge – Rhythm of the night                                             45

When it feels like the world is on your shoulders
And all of the madness has got you goin’ crazy

It’s time to get out, step out into the street
Where all of the action is right there at your feet, well

I know a place where we can dance the whole night away
Underneath the electric stars
Just come with me and we can shake your blues right away
You’ll be doin fine once the music starts, oh!

Chorus:

To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
We can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night..
Oohh the rhythm of the night, ooohh yeah

Look out on the street now, the party’s just beginning
The music’s playing, a celebration’s starting

Under the streetlights, the scene is being set
A night for romance a night you won’t forget, so

bridge:

Come join the fun, this ain’t no time to be staying home
Mmm, there’s too much going on, oh!
Tonight is gonna be a night like you’ve never known
We’re gonna have a good time the whole night long, oh!

Depeche mode – People are people                                   46

People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So we’re different colors and we’re different creeds
And different people have different needs
It’s obvious you hate me though I’ve done nothing wrong
I’ve never even met you, so what could I have done

I can’t understand what makes a man
Hate another man, help me understand

chorus:
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

Help me understand 2 x

Now you’re punching and you’re kicking
And you’re shouting at me
I’m relying on your common decency
So far it hasn’t surfaced but I’m sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fist

I can’t understand what makes a man
Hate another man, help me understand

I can’t understand what makes a man

Depeche mode – Somebody                                                          47

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details


Someone who’ll stand by my side and give me support
And in return she’ll get my support


            She will listen to me when I want to speak
            About the world we live in and life in general


            Though my views may be wrong
            They may even be perverted
            She’ll hear me out
            And won’t easily be converted


To my way of thinking
In fact she’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me, aaah       -solo-

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath


Someone who’ll help me see things in a different light
All the things I detest, I will almost like


            I don’t want to be tied to anyone’s strings
            I’m carefully trying to steer clear of those things


            But when I’m asleep, I want somebody
            Who will put their arms around me, kiss me tenderly


Though things like this make me sick
In a case like this, I’ll get away with it, aaah

Should have known  better  –  Jim Diamond                           49

And I should have known better
To lie to one as beautiful as you.
Yeah I should have known better
To take a chance on ever losing you,
But I thought you’d understand.
Can you forgive me?

I saw you walking by the other day
I know that you saw me you turned away and I was lost.
You see I’ve never loved no one as much as you
I’ve fooled around but tell me now just who is hurting who?

Chorus

And I should have known better
To lie to one as beautiful as you.
Yeah I should have known better
To take a chance on ever losing you,
But I thought you’d understand.
Can you forgive me?

Aiaiai I should have known better


It’s true I took our love for granted all along
And trying to explain where I went wrong I just don’t know.

I cry but tears don’t seem to help me carry on,
And now there is no chance you’ll come back home,
Got too much pride

And I should have known better
To lie to one as beautiful as you.
Yeah I should have known better
To take a chance on ever losing you,
But I thought you’d understand.
Can you forgive me?

I,I,I,I,I love you
And I should have known better
To lie with one as beautiful as you

Dirty Dancing – I’ve had the time of my life                          50

Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
and I owe it all to you

‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you

I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I’ve finally found someone to stand by me

We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There’s no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other’s hand
‘Cause we seem to understand the urgency

bridgeD

Just remember you’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something

This could be love because

chorus:

I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
and I owe it all to you

With my body and soul
I want you more than you’ll ever know

So we’ll just let it go
Don’t be afraid to lose control, no

Yes, I know what’s on your mind when you say
“Stay with me tonight” (stay with me)

Doe Maar – sinds een dag of twee (32 jaar)                               54

Sinds een dag of twee vlinders in m`n hoofd
Sinds een dag of twee aangenaam verdoofd
`K was haast vergeten hoe `t voelt om verliefd te zijn
Ik kijk om me heen door een roze bril
Veel te lang alleen `k stond een beetje stil
Hoe kon ik weten m`n wereldje was zo klein

`T is wel een beetje raar twee en dertig jaar
Trillend op m`n benen
Als ze is verdwenen
Ze is ze is van mij

Mannen bij de vleet wachtend in een rij
`T doet me toch geen reet want ze kijkt naar mij
Liefde oh liefde waar was jij toch al die tijd
Alles wat ze zegt slik ik voor zoete koek
En m`n scherpe blik is ook al dagen zoek
`T kan me niet schelen zolang ze maar met me vrijt

`T is wel een beetje raar twee en dertig jaar
Trillend op m`n benen
Als ze is verdwenen
Ze is ze is van mij

Doe Maar – Tijd genoeg                                                 55

Ze zeggen: er is haast geen tijd
En hebben daarom altijd haast en spijt
Dat deze dag niet langer duren wou

Maar voor mij ligt de dag zo lang
Alleen zijn maakt me bang
En ik verlang de hele dag naar jou

refrein:
Want wat ook een ander zegt
Er is tijd genoeg
Voor jou voor mij voor iedereen
En als je wilt dan is elk ogenblik voor jou
En alles wat je vragen zou
Maar laat mij dan niet alleen

Ze zeggen: er is tijd tekort
Ze zeggen dat het donker wordt
Ze zeggen: regen regen regen op je kop

Maar al zijn die dagen nog zo grauw
Ik weet het zeker als jij wou
Dan verfde jij de wolken blauw

She’s a liar and she’s a crier
She’s a dumb little girl who pushes to get higher
She’s a teaser and she’s a squeezer
you gotta get away from her, ‘cause she’s a cheater

I don’t wanna be loved by you                          B   Gis   A   B
She has made your brown eyes blue
Gotta leave her alone, ‘cause she’s a liar
Don’t let her get down on you
Don’t let her pull tricks on you
She’s a girl who likes to play with fire

She’s a dreamer and she’s a screamer
She’s not the kind of girl like people see her
She’s a loser and she’s a boozer
She likes to get it done her way, so she can use you

Save a prayer  –  Duran Duran                                              57

You saw me standing by the wall,
Corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain’t much fun,
So you’re looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

chorus          Don’t say a prayer for me now,
                    Save it ’til the morning after
                    No, don’t say a prayer for me now,
                    Save it ’til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into the well
If you can, you’ll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance like all dreamers can’t find another way
You don’t have to dream at all, just live a day

chorus

Pretty looking road,
I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don’t ask me why I’ll keep my promise, melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise

chorus

Erasure – Sometimes                                       57a

It’s not the way you lead me by the hand into the bedroom
It’s not the way you throw your clothes upon the bathroom floor

Been thinking about ya, I just couldn’t wait to see
Fling my arms around ya as we fall in ecstasy

chorus:
Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh, sometimes
It’s the broken heart that decides

It’s not the way that you caress me, toy with my affection
It’s not my sense of emptiness – you fill with your desire

Climb in bed beside me, we can lock the world outside
Touch me, satisfy me, warm your body next to mine

Here comes the rain again – Eurythmics                              58

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me

Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion

I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

Miracle of love – Eurythmics                                                59

How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That’s covering your mind?
I’ll show you something good
Oh I’ll show you something good.
When you open your mind
You’ll discover the sign
That there’s something
You’re longing to find…

chorus   The miracle of love
             Will take away your pain
             When the miracle of love
              Comes your way again.

Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears.
Tender is the one
That wipes away your tears.
There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously –
They say the greatest coward
Can hurt the most ferociously.
But I’ll show you something good.
Oh I’ll show you something good.
If you open your heart
You can make a new start
When your crumbling world falls apart

Eurythmics – When tomorrow comes                                     61

Underneath your dreamlit eyes
Shades of sleep have driven you away.
The moon is pale outside
And you are far from here.


Breathing shifts your careless head
Untroubled by the chaos of our lives.
Another day – another night
Has taken you again my dear.


And you know that I’m gonna be the one
Who’ll be there
When you need someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes…

Wait till tomorrow comes – yea yea
When tomorrow comes

Last night while you were lying in my arms
And I was wondering where you were
You know you looked just like a baby
Fast asleep in this dangerous world.


Every star was shining brightly
Just like a million years before.
And we were feeling very small
Underneath the universe.


Chorus

Who’s that girl  – Eurythmics                                              62

The language of love
Slips from my lover’s tongue
Cooler than ice cream
And warmer than the sun
Dumb hearts get broken
Just like china cups
The language of love
Has left me broken on the rocks

But there’s just one thing
(Just one thing)
But there’s just one thing
And I really wanna know

Who’s that girl
Running around with you?
Tell me
Who’s that girl
Running around with you?

The language of love
Has left me stony grey
Tongue tied and twisted
At the price I’ve had to pay
Your careless notions
Have silenced these emotions
Look at all the foolisness
Your lover’s talk has done

EBTG – Each and everyone                                             63

If you ever feel the time to drop me a loving line
maybe you should just think twice
I don’t wait around on your advice


You tell me I can go this far, but no more
Try to show me heaven and then slam the door
You offer shelter at a price much too dear
And your kind of love’s the kind that soon disappears

So don’t brag how you have changed
And everything’s been rearranged
I thought all that was over and done
But I still get the same from Each and Everyone


Being kind is just a way to keep me under your thumb
and I can cry because that’s something we’ve always done
you tell me I’m free of the past now and all those lies
then offer me the same thing in a different guise

You tell me I can go this far, but no more
Try to show me heaven and then slam the door
You offer shelter at a price much too dear
And your kind of love’s the kind that soon disappears

Sheila E. – The Glamorous Life                                                  63a

She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summer time
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl’s got a lot on her mind

She’s got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl, she really wants is to be in love with a man

[Chorus]
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don’t need a man’s touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
But without love it ain’t much

woooohwoow


She saw him standing in the section marked
If you have to ask you can’t afford it lingerie
She threw him bread and said make me scream
In the dark what could he say

Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don’t impress me in bed
She said I need a man’s man baby
Diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head

[Chorus]

They made haste in the brown sedan
They drove to fifty five Secret street
They made love and by the seventh wave
She knew she had a problem


She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is forever that’s all your life
Love is heaven sent – it’s glamorous

Fairground Attraction – Perfect                                                          64

We have the chance, to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write

Down the barrel of a gun?

Five Star – All fall down                                                               67a

All fall down
All fall down

I used to wake up at night, feeling so lonely
Before I knew you really loved me
I used to cry in my sleep, tears on my pillow
I didn’t know you wanted to know


Now you changed my world I’m wondering
How to keep myself from falling over
You’re a special boy, my baby
And when you touch me..

All fall down
Does it have to make me feel that way?
It’s pickin’ me up to the highest love I’ve ever known
(All fall down) I’m dizzy when I think of you
If ever a star was the brightest
You know you can lead me home

Higher
Higher, yeah

I used to be so unsure, afraid I’d discover
You’d want a friend but not a lover
But there’s no fear in my mind cos now we’re together
Our love keeps growin’, bigger, better


I could jump for joy, you sweet thing
See me walk on air, and people staring
They’re looking at a mystery
And when, when it’s not really

You’re making me dance, make me sing
Anything as long as you are here with me
I’ve found I can’t touch the ground
You know you make my inhibitions

gotta take a little time

a little time to think things over
I better read between the lines

in case I need it when I’m older

Now this mountain I must climb

feels like a world upon my shoulders

Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life

Het Goede Doel – Vriendschap                                             69b

Als kind had ik een vriend waarmee ik alles deed
Als hij begon te vechten, dan vocht ik met hem mee
Als ik in het water sprong, dook hij er achteraan
Een mooiere vriendschap, kon er in m’n ogen niet bestaan
Totdat hij verhuisde naar een andere stad
Ik heb als ik het goed heb nog een kaart van hem gehad

Eén keer trek je de conclusie
Vriendschap is een illusie
Vriendschap is een droom
Een pakketje schroot, met een dun laagje chroom

Ik kreeg toen een vriendin waarmee ik alles deed
Als zij begon te zoenen, dan vree ik met haar mee
Als ik begon te janken, kwam ze naast me staan
Een mooiere vriendschap, kon er in m’n ogen niet bestaan
Tot het moment dat ze spontaan mijn naam vergat
En bleek dat ze een ander vriendje had

Refrein:
Eén keer trek je de conclusie
Vriendschap is een illusie
Vriendschap is een droom
Een pakketje schroot, met een dun laagje chroom

Als het gaat om geld, als het gaat om vrouwen
Als het gaat om alles wat je lief hebt, wie kun je dan vertrouwen?

Golden Earring – When the lady smiles                         69c

When the lady smiles, you know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resourceful
When her fingertips go drawing circles in the night
Then the mood is soft and sensual, hu-u


And I love it, yeah I love it
It’s the answer to all my dreams


Every time it feels like the earth is shakin’
It doesn’t matter, a glass is fallin’, I hear it shatter,
Maybe it’s raining, faster and faster, shadow dancin’


brug: Together oh I, I’m a bettin’ on the game of love
        Oh oh oh I, I’m bettin’ that love is gonna come out
        When the walls no longer shout, back at me and I’m feelin’ proud

chorus:

When the lady smiles, she holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles, I can’t resist her call
As a matter of fact, I don’t resist at all
‘cos I’m walking on clouds and she is leadin’ the way

My friends tell me she’s the beast inside your paradise
I guess you’ve heard it all before
A fallen angel, that has got you hypnotized
And that always needs some more, hu-u


And I love it, yeah I love it
She’s done nothin’ to mislead me


‘cos every time we meet, the earth is shakin’
It doesn’t matter, a glass is fallin’, I hear it shatter,
Maybe it’s raining, faster and faster, shadow dancin’

Go West – We close our eyes                                                       70

Inside everyone hides one desire
Outside no one would know
Danger close to edge of the knife
Safer not to let go


And while we miss chances
You can almost hear time slipping away

chorus:

We close our eyes, we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes to time slipping away

No show, Wednesday girl waits with the wine
She knows just what to say
While no one listens
You can almost hear time slipping away

chorus
We close our eyes and we can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
We are tigers in the dark – we are burning

We close our eyes

Heroes never give into the night
He knows how far he can run
And as he surrenders
You can almost hear time slipping away

chorus 2 x

We close our eyes

We close our eyes aaah we walk on water
Lets us take the blame
We are burning

Well Jo’anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh

It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo’anna see
How everybody could a live as one

Gimme hope, Jo’anna, hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna ‘Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo’anna, hope, Jo’anna
Hope before the morning come

I hear she makes all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of another son


Sneakin’ across all the neighbours’ borders
Now and again having little fun
She doesn’t care if the fun and games she play
Is dang’rous to ev’ryone

Chorus

She got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to the city sun
Jo’anna give them the fancy money
Oh to tempt anyone who’d come
She even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo’anna makes
They got a good explanation

Chorus

Even the preacher who works for Jesus
The Archbishop who’s a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you’re blind Jo’anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drum
Can’t you see that the tide is turning
Oh don’t make me wait till the morning come
Chorus

Eddy Grant – I don’t wanna dance                                 72

chorus

I don’d wanna dance
dance with you baby no more
I’ll never do something to hurt you though

Oh but the feeling is bad, the feeling is bad.

I love your personality
but I don’t want our love on show.
Sometimes I think it’s insanity girl the way you go.

With all of the guys on the corner
baby you’re the latest trick
you seem to have their number
look they are dancing still

chorus
But I don’t wanna dance

Baby now the party’s over
For us so I’ll be on my way.
Now that the things which moved me are standing still


I know it’s only superstition
Baby but I won’t look back
Even though I feel your music
Baby that is that.

chorus

Guns ‘N Roses – Sweet child of mine                                 73

She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
It takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long I’d probably break down and cry

chorus              Woah oh woah sweet child o’ mine
                                    Woah oh oh oh sweet love of mine

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies as if they thought of rain
I’d hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

chorus  2x

Ooh where do we go now

Where do we go
Sweet child
Ooh where do we go now

Don Henley -BOYS OF SUMMER                                                                74

Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.
I feel it in the air, the summers out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.
I’m driving by your house, though i know that you not home

And i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair combed back, sunglasses on baby

and i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boy of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights, i wonder if it was a dream
remember how you drove me crazy? remember how i made you scream?

now i don’t understand what happed to our love
now baby gonna get you back, gonna show you what i’m made of…

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you know your walking real slow, smiling at everyone

i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone.


out on the road today i saw a dead head sticker on a cadillac
a voice inside my head said don’t look back, you can never look back

i thought i knew what love was, what did i know
those days are gone forever, i should just let them go but…

        i can see you
        your brown skin shining in the sun
            you got your top pulled down, radio on baby

        and i can tell you
        my love for you will still be strong
        after the boys of summer have gone.

Whitney Houston – How Will I Know                                                 74a

There’s a boy I know, he’s the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above, mm mm
Oh I lose control, can’t seem to get enough, uh huh
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love, ooo

Ooh how will I know (Don’t trust your feelings)
How will I know, how will I know (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know

chorus:
How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I’m asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if he’s thinking of me
I try to phone but I’m too shy (can’t speak)
Falling in love is so bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak

Oh, wake me, I’m shaking, wish I had you near me now, uh huh
Said there’s no mistaking, what I feel is really love, ooo tell me

Ooh how will I know (Don’t trust your feelings)
How will I know, how will I know (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know

chorus

If he loves me, if he loves me not
If he loves me ooo, if he loves me not
If he loves me, if he loves me not

How will I know

chorus

How will I know
How will I know
How will I know

Whitney Houston – I know him so well                                   75

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back, I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well

chorus:
Wasn’t it good, wasn’t it fine
Isn’t it madness he can’t be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then

chorus

Didn’t I know how it would go if I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart

Wasn’t it fine
Isn’t it madness he can’t be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took some to understand him
Hoo ooh I know him so well

Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody                       75a

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I’ve done alright up to now
It’s the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls, my loneliness calls

chorus:
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

I’ve been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who’ll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

chorus

Somebody ooh Somebody ooh
Somebody who loves me yeah
Somebody ooh Somebody ooh
To hold me in his arms oh


I need a man who’ll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls

chorus

Don’tcha wanna dance with me baby     3x
With somebody who loves me

Whitney Houston – Saving All My Love for You                          75b

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You’ve got your family and they need you there
Though I’ve tried to resist being last on your list
But no other man’s gonna do
So I’m saving all my love for you

It’s not very easy living all alone
My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
But each time I try I just break down and cry
‘Cause I’d rather be home feeling blue
So I’m saving all my love for you


            You used to tell me we’d run away together
            Love gives you the right to be free
            You said be patient just wait a little longer
            But that’s just an old fantasy

I’ve got to get ready just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
‘Cause tonight is the night for feeling alright
We’ll be making love the whole night through
So I’m saving all my love for you
Yes I’m saving all my love
Yes I’m saving all my love for you

No other woman is gonna love you more
‘Cause tonight is the night that I’m feeling alright
We’ll be making love the whole night through
So I’m saving all my love
Yeah I’m saving all my lovin’
Yes I’m saving all my love for you
For you

Whitney Houston – the greatest love of all                  76

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody’s searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity

chorus:
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all

I believe that children are etc

I decided long ago  etc.

chorus


And if, by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Human League – Don’t you want me baby                                          77

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too.

Don’t. Don’t you want me?
You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me
Don’t. Don’t you want me?
You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me

It’s much too late to find
When you think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don’t you want me, baby? 4 x

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I’d find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good at times
I still love you
But now I think it’s time I lived my life on my own
I guess it’s just what I must do

Don’t. Don’t you want me?
You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me
Don’t. Don’t you want me?
You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me

It’s much too late find
When you think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don’t you want me, baby?

(REPEAT x3)

Michael Jackson/Siedah Garret – I Just Can’t Stop Loving You              77a

Each time the wind blows, I hear your voice so

i call your name
Whispers at morning, our love is dawning
Heaven’s glad you came

         You know how I feel, this thing can’t go wrong
         I’m so proud to say I love you
         Your love’s got me high, I long to get by
         This time is forever, love is the answer

I hear your voice now, you are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven’s in my heart, at your call I hear harps
And angels sing

         You know how I feel, this thing can’t go wrong
         I can’t live my life without you

         I just can’t hold on, I feel we belong
         My life ain’t worth living if I can’t be with you

chorus:
I just can’t stop loving you
I just can’t stop loving you
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do

Cause I just can’t stop loving you

At night when the stars shine I pray in you I’ll find
A love so true
When morning awakes me, will you come and take me
I’ll wait for you

You know how I feel, I won’t stop until
I hear your voice saying “I do”
This thing can’t go wrong, this feeling’s so strong
Well, my life ain’t worth living if I can’t be with you


chorus

We can change all the world tomorrow
We can sing songs of yesterday
I can say, hey farewell to sorrow
This is my life and I want to see you for always

Michael Jackson/Paul McCartney – Say Say Say                 77b

Say, say, say what you want

Take, take, take what you need

but don’t leave me with no direction


            All alone I sit home by the phone

she’s out of my life – Michael Jackson                                            78

she’s out of my life
She’s out of my life
And I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
I don’t know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She’s out of my life

It’s out of my hands
It’s out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted, I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
It’s out of my hands

So I’ve learned that love’s not possession
And I’ve learned that love won’t wait
Now I’ve learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

And she’s out of my life
She’s out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She’s out of my life

The way you make me feel – Michael Jackson                                      79

Hey pretty baby with the high heels on
You give me fever
Like I’ve never, ever known
You’re just a product of loveliness
I like the groove of your walk,
Your talk, your dress

I feel your fever
From miles around
I’ll pick you up in my car
And we’ll paint the town
Just kiss me baby
And tell me twice
That you’re the one for me

Chorus     The way you make me feel
                You really turn me on
                You knock me off of my feet
                My lonely days are gone

I like the feelin’ you’re givin’ me
Just hold me baby and I’m in ecstasy
Oh I’ll be workin’ from nine to five
To buy you things to keep you by my side
I never felt so in love before
Just promise baby, you’ll love me forever more
I swear I’m keepin’ you satisfied
‘Cause you’re the one for me

Chorus


Go on girl!


I never felt so in love before
Promise baby, you’ll love me forevermore
I swear I’m keepin’ you satisfied
‘Cause you’re the one for me…

Chorus

Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney – The girl is mine                       80

Every night she walks right in my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I’m so proud I am the only one who is special in her heart
The girl is mine, the doggone girl is mine


I know she’s mine because the doggone girl is mine

I don’t understand the way you think
Saying that she’s yours not mine
Sending roses and your silly dreams
Really just a waste of time
Because she’s mine, the doggone girl is mine


Don’t waste your time because the doggone girl is mine

I love you more than he (Take you anywhere)
But I love you endlessly (Loving we will share)
So come and go with me, two on the town

But we both cannot have her, so it’s one or the other
And one day you’ll discover
That she’s my girl forever and ever

Don’t build your hopes to be let down
Cause I really feel it’s time
I know she’ll tell you I’m the one for her
Cause she said I blow her mind
The girl is mine, the doggone girl is mine


Don’t waste your time because the doggone girl is mine

She’s mine, she’s mine
No, no, no, she’s mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine

The girl is mine (mine mine), yep she’s mine (mine mine)
The girl is mine (mine mine), yes she’s mine (mine mine)

Don’t waste your time because the doggone girl is mine
The girl is mine, the girl is mine

Billie Joel – For the longest time                                              81

woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time

if you’d say goodbye to me tonight
there would still be music left to write
what else could I do, I’m so inspired by you
that hasn’t happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
now I know that happiness goes on
that’s where you found me, when you put your arms around me
I haven’t been there for the longest time

woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time

I’m that voice your hearing in the hall
and the greatest miracle of all
is how I need you, and how you needed me too
that hasn’t happened for the longest time

bridge –            maybe this won’t last very long
                        but you feel so right and I could be wrong
                        maybe I’ve been hoping too hard, I’ve gone this far
                        and it’s more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we’ll go on
maybe I’ll be sorry when your gone
I’ll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is
I haven’t been there for the longest time

bridge –            I had second thoughts at the start
                        I said to myself hold on to your heart
                        now I know the woman that you are
                        you’re wonderful so far and it’s more than I hoped for

I don’t care what concequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad, I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

woohoohoohoo for the longest time

Billie Joel – Goodnight Saigon                                                82

We met as soul mates on Parris Island
We left as inmates from an asylum
And we were sharp as sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives

We came in spastic like tameless horses
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
And we learned fast to travel light
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight

We had no home front we had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy they gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep and shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all our might

We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes
And it was dark so dark at night

And we held on to each other like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we’d write

And we would all go down together
We said we’d all go down together

Remember Charlie, remember Baker
They left their childhood on every acre
And who was wrong? And who was right?
It didn’t matter in the thick of the fight

We held the day in the palm of our hand
They ruled the nigh,and the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks on Parris Island

We held the coastline, they held the highlands
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted the rotors and waited for us to arrive

And we would all go down together
We said we’d all go down togetherYes we would all go down together

Chaka Kahn – Ain’t nobody                                                                83

Captured effortlesly. That’s the way it was.
It happens so naturely. I did not know it was love.
The next thing I felt was you. Holding me close
What was I gonna do. I let myself go.

And now we fly through the stars.
Want this night will last for ever.

I’ve been waiting for you. It’s been so long.
I knew just what I would do when I heard your song.
I fill my heart with your kiss. It gave me freedom.
You knew I could not resist. I needed someone.

And now we’re flying through the stars.
I hope this night lasts for ever.

Chorus             Ain’t nobody loves me better
                                    Makes me happy, makes me feel this way
                                    Ain’t nobody, loves me better

I wait for nighttime to come to bring you to me.
Can’t believe I’m the one. I was so lonely.
I feel like no-one can feel. I must be dreamin’.
I want this dream to be real. I’m in this feeling.

I make my whish upon a star
And hope this night will last for ever.

Chorus


first you put your arms around me.
then you put your arms around me.
I can’t resist this sweet surrender.
Oh, my night’s so warm and tender.
We stare into each others eyes.
And what we see is no surprise.
I’ve got a feeling most would treasure.
And our love’s so deep we cannot measure.

Chorus


Katrina & the waves – Walking on sunshine                        84

Oh! Ohhhh yeeeaaaah
I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I´m sure
And I just can’t wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
Cause I just can´t wait till you write me you´re coming around

chorus:

I’m walking on sunshine, wooah 3 x
And don’t it feel good!!

Hey, alright now, and don’t it feel good!! yeah

I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it’s true
And I don’t want to spend my whole life, just waiting for you
Now I don’t want you back for the weekend
Not back for a day, no no no
I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay

chorus

Walking on sunshine
Walking on sunshine

I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that’s really real
I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that’s really real

I’m on sunshine baby
I’m on sunshine baby

chorus

Nik Kershaw – The riddle                                                  85

I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon
Time to carry on and try
For sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
Wise men save

chorus:

Near a tree by a river there’s a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there’s a wrong and a right
But he’ll never, never fight over you

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Oh, for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you

It’s not me you see
Pieces of valentine
And just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold

chorus

       I got time to kill
       Sly looks in corridors without a plan of yours
       A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
       Thanks to the calling of the wild
       Wise men’s child

chorus 2x

Kokomo – a little bit further away                                                      86

A little bit further, a little bit further away

Wipe those tears from your eyes
No use in holding on to the past
The love has gone now
The time has come to say goodbye

And even though it hurts so bad

you must set free the love that you once had
Had, baby, baby

chorus
There’s no point in fighting for

a love you can have no more
If you do it, you got a high price to pay
You’re just pushin’ any love that’s left

a little bit further away
You’re pushing your love

a little bit further (A little bit further), a little bit further away

Now there’s no reason or why

why love should say hello and then goodbye
Just up and leave you in the middle of the night

If you accept the reasons why

you know that true love won’t completely die


chorus  herhalen

Kool & the gang – cherish                                                                       87

Let’s take a walk together near the ocean shore
Hand in hand you and I
Let’s cherish every moment we have been given
The time is passing by
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night

chorus:

Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love

The world is always changing
Nothing stays the same
But love will stand the test of time
The next life that we live in
Remains to be seen
Will you be by my side


I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night

chorus

Cyndi Lauper – Money Changes Everything                                   87a

I said I’m sorry baby I’m leaving you tonight
I found someone new, he’s waitin’ in the car outside
Ah honey how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
I said well yeah I know but when we did;
There was one thing we weren’t
Thinking of and that’s money

Money changes everything
I said money, money changes everything
We think we know what we’re doin’
That don’t mean a thing
It’s all in the past now
Money changes everything

They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we’ll be your friends
We’ll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody’s only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust
I’ll tell you it’s just
Nobody else’s money

Money changes everything
I said money, money changes everything
You think you know what you’re doin’
We don’t pull the strings
It’s all in the past now
Money changes everything

Money, money changes everything
I said money, money changes everything
We think we know what we’re doing
We don’t know a thing
It’s all in the past now

Money changes everything
Money changes everything etc

Cyndi Lauper – Time after time                                                       88

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights, almost left behind
Suitcases of memories, time after-

Sometimes you picture me, I’m walking too far ahead
You’re calling to me, I can’t hear what you’ve said
Then you say, go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

chorus:

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you’re wondering if I’m okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside, the drum beats out of time

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

You said go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

True colours  –  Cyndi Lauper                                        89

with the sad eyes
don’t be discouraged, though I realize it’s hard to
take courage in a world, full of people,
you can lose sight of it
And the darkness inside you
will make you feel so small

chorus:
But I see your true colors, shining through
I see your true colors, and that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid, to let them show
your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful, like a rainbow

Show me a smile, don’t be unhappy
I can’t remember when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy and
you’ve taken in all you can bare
You call me up- because you know I’ll be there

chorus


I can’t remember when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
and you take in all you can bare
You call me up- because you know I’ll be there

Cyndi Lauper – When You Were Mine                           89a

When u were mine I gave u all of my money
Time after time U done me wrong
Cause, just like a train

U let all my friends come over and eat
And u were so strange

U didn`t have the decency to change the sheets
Oh, when u were mine I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine, maybe that`s the reason that it hurt me so

chorus:

I know, that you`re goin with another girl
But I don`t care, cause I love u baby that`s no lie
Love u more mine than I did when u were mine

When u were mine U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind, I let u fool around
I never cared, I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there, sleepin in between the two of us


chorus


When u were mine U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time, following her whenever she`s with u
I know that you`re goin with another girl
But I don`t care, cause I love u baby that`s no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine

Annie Lennox/Al Green – Put a little love in your heart   89b

Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it’s getting late, oh, please don’t hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me

Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know, we won’t let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see. Wait and see

Take a good look around and if you’re lookin’ down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart

Don’t, don’t close your heart to how you feel
dream, don´t be afraid that dream is not real
close your eyes pretend its just the two of us again

how my love for you will go on and on and…

Madonna – Crazy for you                                                     94

Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark

Can’t you feel the weight of my stare
You’re so close but still a world away


What I’m dying to say, is that I’m

chorus:

crazy for you
Touch me once and you’ll know it’s true
I never wanted anyone like this
It’s all brand new, you’ll feel it in my kiss
I’m crazy for you, crazy for you

Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we meet, no words at all

Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I’m deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time

Chorus:

Don’t go for second best baby, put your love to the test
You know, you know, you’ve got to make him express how he feels
And maybe then you’ll know your love is real

You don’t need diamond rings or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast, you know they never last, no, no

What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can’t come down

Long stem roses are the way to your heart but he needs to start with your head

You’ll do much better baby on your own

Express himself Hey hey

What you need is a big strong hand   etc

Boy you’ve got to prove your love to me, yeah

Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm’s right

I’m tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I want to dance with someone else

Madonna – La Isla Bonita                                                     97

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro,
Just like I’d never gone, I knew the song,
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away.

Chorus:
Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free,
This is where I long to be, la isla bonita.
And when the samba played,
The sun would set so high

ring through my ears and sting my eyes,
Your Spanish lullaby.

I fell in love with San Pedro,
Warm wind carried on the sea,
He called to me “Te dijo, te amo”,
I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast.

Chorus

solo

I want to be where the sun warms the sky,
When it’s time for siesta, you can watch them go by,
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world,
Where a girl loves a boy and a boy

loves a girl.

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro,
It all seems like yesterday, not far away.

Chorus 2 x

Madonna – Like a prayer                                                                 98

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Chorus:

When you call my name it’s like a little prayer
I’m down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I’ll take you there

I hear your voice, it’s like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I’m falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

(chorus)

Like a child you whisper softly to me
You’re in control just like a child
Now I’m dancing
It’s like a dream, no end and no beginning
You’re here with me, it’s like a dream
Let the choir sing

(chorus)

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I’ll take you there
It’s like a dream to me

Madonna – Live to tell                                                                    99

I have a tale to tell

Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall

chorus:

A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned

’till then it will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives
I’ve seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can’t take that from me

chorus

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

If I ran away, I’d never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know

chorus

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

chorus

Madonna – Material Girl                                                                          100

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they’re ok
If they don’t give me proper credit I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead but they can’t see the light (that’s right)
‘Cause the boy with the cold hard cash is always Mister Right

chorus:
‘Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That’s all right with me
If they can’t raise my interest then I have to let them be

Some boys try and some boys lie but I don’t let them play (no way)
Only boys who save their pennies make my rainy day

chorus 2 x


Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world


Boys may come and boys may go and that’s all right you see
Experience has made me rich and now they’re after me

‘Cause everybody’s living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

chorus

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world

Madonna – Papa Don’t Preach                                                              101

Papa I know you’re going to be upset
‘Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I’m not a baby

You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what I’m saying

The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
We’re in an awful mess, and I don’t mean maybe – please

chorus:
Papa don’t preach, I’m in trouble deep
Papa don’t preach, I’ve been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I’m keeping my baby, oh
I’m gonna keep my baby, mmm…

He says that he’s going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we’ll be all right
It’s a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I’m too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please

chorus

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he’s been treating me
You’d give us your blessing right now
‘Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please

chorus


Madonna – True blue                                                                             102

I’ve had other guys, I’ve looked into their eyes

True love, you’re the one I’m dreaming of

Just think back and remember dear, those words whispered in your ear

Richard Marx – Right Here Waiting                                   102a

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn’t stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

chorus:
Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can’t get near you now

Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me going crazy

chorus


I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I’m with you
I’ll take the chance

Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me going crazy

chorus
Waiting for you

Malcolm McLaren – Madame Butterfly                                                106

Today’s the day that I see clear, a tiny thread of smoke appears
Where blue skies border the ocean and a ship is set in motion

All the while I sing this song, I see a dot on the horizon
Growing bigger every second, gleaming white in my direction

Who on earth can it be, coming up the path for me?
What on earth will he say? Shall I run to him or run away?

Freaking out he’s come to get me

my feet are stuck but just won’t let me
Run to him do I dare? Madam Butterfly – don’t blow it

chorus:

Calling Butterfly, Madam Butterfly
That’s the name he used to give me, he’s my man till the day I die
Oh sweet Butterfly, so sweet Butterfly, she’s waiting

He’ll be back, I have faith in this love track

Gotta have something to believe in, my white honkey, I do miss him
Someday soon he’ll come around just to stop my nervous breakdown

Call me fool! Call me stupid! Bend my arrow kill this cupid
Say it with me: he’ll be back, I have faith in this love track

chorus

Little sweet sweet Butterfly I hear him crowing faintly
He thinks I’m just still sweet sixteen, I guess I’ll tease him gently

Calling Madam Butterfly, his angel plucked right from the sky
Hide my baby in mystic places, I feel the fear that I might die

Right in his arms and embraces, softly kissing my eyelashes
Got no right no right to doubt it, ain’t no doubt no doubt about it
Call me fool! Call me stupid! Bend this arrow kil this cupid
I have faith I’ll always pray my white honkey’s here to stay

chorus

Mecano – Hijo de la luna                                                                        107

onto que no entienda –  cuenta una leyenda
Que una hembra gitana

conjuro a la luna hasta el amanecer

Llorando pedia
Al llegar el dia desposar un calé


Tendràs a tu hombre piel morena
Desde el cielo hablo la luna llena

Pero a cambio quiero

el hijo primero que le engendres a él
Que quien su hijo inmola
Para no estar sola, poco le iba a querer

refrein
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer con un niño de piel, aha
Hijo de la luna

De padre canela nacio un niño
Blanco como el lomo de un armiño
Con los ojos grises en vez de aceituna niño albino de luna
Maldita su estampa este hijo es un payo, y yo no me lo cayo

refrein

Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
De quien es el hijo?
Me has engañao fijo y de muerte la hirio
Luego se hizo al monte
Con el niño en brazos y alli le abandano

refrein

Y las noches que haya luna llena
Sera porque el niño este de buenas
Y si el niño llora
Menguara la luna para hacerle una cuna.
Y si el niño llora
Menguara la luna para hacerle una cuna

Anita Meijer en Lee Towers – Run to me                   108

If ever you got rain in your heart,
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And let it be like they said it would be –
me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

Run to me whenever you’re lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

And when you’re out in the cold,
no one beside you, and no one to hold,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And when you’ve got nothing to lose,
nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me

Run to me whenever you’re lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

Anita Meijer – They don’t play our lovesong anymore   109

Once we used to sing along in perfect harmony
to a song that used to sell well in our days
Every-one who heard that song would sing that melody
Yes it’s funny how the time has slipped away

I haven’t heard it for a while, correct me if I’m wrong
But it’s been ages since I’ve heard that song

They don’t play our lovesong anymore
No-one in the world will sing the parts to that score
and it’s bringing me down ‘cause the love we once
found is gone. They play a diff’rent lovesong now

And as we talked it over we kept thinking of that song
and the way we used to dance when it would play, Yeah
we’d been growing older, staying home nights for too long
so we tried the places where the bands still played
I walked up to the man who sang the song I loved so well
and he laughed and told me, man it wouldn’t sell
I’m sorry to tell you but…

We don’t play that lovesong anymore
and no one in the band will play the parts to that score
‘cause the beat goes out of time
and the words they don’t seem to rhyme anymore

They don’t play our lovesong anymore
though it worked for a while, seems that song is out of style
like our love, just like our love

a little ditty about Jack and Diane
2 American kids growin’ up in the heartland
Jacky’s gonna be a football star
Diane’s debutante backseat of Jacky’s car

Suckin’ on a chili dog outside the tastee freeze
Diane’s sittin’ on Jacky’s lap, he’s got his hands between her knees
Jacky say, “Hey Diane lets run off behind a shady tree
Dribble off those Bobby brooks legs and do what I please”
And say a

chorus  Oh yeah life goes on
                        Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone
                        Say a, “Oh yeah life goes on
                        Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone 

walk on

Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
Well man, me and Diane, we gotta rock this city
Diane says “Baby, you ain’t missing not a thing
Jacky says

chorus

Gonna let it rock, let it roll
Let the Bible belt come on and save my soul
Hold on to 16 as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

chorus

A little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids doin’ the best they can

Men at work – land down under                                             110

Traveling in a fried-out Kombie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said…

chorus:  Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover!

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said, Do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled a
nd gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said…

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover!

Lyin’ in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?
And he said…

George Michael – A Different Corner                              110a

I’d say love was a magical thing
I’d say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there

I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don’t dare, no I don’t dare

‘Cause I’ve never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I’m so scared, I’m so scared

Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care

I don’t understand it, for you it’s a breeze
Little by little you’ve brought me to my knees
Don’t you care

No I’ve never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I’m so scared of this love

And if all that there is is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

George Michael – Careless whisper                                      111

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

chorus:

I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find

chorus

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one’s gonna dance with me
Please stay  chorus

George Michael – Faith                                                                    112

Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you.

Oh, but I gotta think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play because I play them, too.

Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion,
Time to pick my heart up off the floor.
And when that love comes down without devotion,
Well, it takes a strong man baby

but I’m showing you the door

Cause I gotta have faith

Baby, I know you’re asking me to stay
Saying please, please, please don’t go away
You say I’m giving you the blues.

Maybe you mean every word you say, can’t help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me,
But I’ll wait for something more.

Cause I gotta have faith


Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
(I’ve just got to have faith)
I’ve reconsidered my foolish notion

Yeah, I need someone to hold me,
But I’ll wait for something more….


Cause I gotta have Faith

George Michael – I knew you were waiting > with Aretha Franklin  112a

zij:        Like a warrior that fights
 And wins the battle
 I know the taste of victory
 Though I went through some nights
 Consumed by the shadows
 And was crippled emotionally
Hij:
Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes I did, I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith, kept my faith

(Chorus)
When the river was deep I didn’t falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didn’t stop me
I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me

zij:        With an endless desire
 I kept on searching
 Sure in time our eyes would meet
 And like the bridge is on fire
 The hurt is over
 One touch and you set me free

Hij:       I don’t regret a single moment, no I don’t, looking back

            when I think of all those disappointments
            I just laugh, I just laugh

Chorus

So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be

I knew you were waiting – oooh
I knew you were waiting – I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me

The Rose – Bette Midler                                                     113

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
an endless aching need


I say love, it is a flower
and you, it’s only seed

It’s the heart, afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It’s the dream, afraid of waking
that never takes the chance


It’s the one who won’t be taken
who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love,
In the spring becomes the rose

Alannah Miles – Black Velvet                                                             114

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell.
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high.
Mama’s dancin’ with a baby on her shoulder.
The sun is settin’ like molasses in the sky.
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything.
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for.

Black velvet in that little boy’s smile.
Black velvet with that slow southern style.
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees.
Black velvet if you please.

Up in Memphis the music’s like a heatwave.
White lightning, bound to drive you wild.
Mama’s baby’s in the heart of every school girl.
“Love me tender” leaves ‘em cryin’ in the aisle.
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true.
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for.

Black velvet and that little boy’s smile.
Black velvet with that slow southern style.
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees.
Black velvet if you please.

Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
What could you do?

(Solo)

Black velvet and that little boy’s smile.
Black velvet with that slow southern style.
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees.
Black velvet if you please.

Black velvet and that little boy’s smile.
Black velvet with that slow southern style.
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees.
Black velvet if you please.

If you please.3x

I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed

Alison Moyet- that ole devil called love                               116

It’s that ole devil called love again,
Gets behind me

and keeps giving me that shove again,
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams,
And rocks in my heart.

It’s that sly ole son of a gun again,
He keeps telling me

that I’m the lucky one again.
But I still have that rain, still have those tears,
And those rocks in my heart.

S’pose I didnt stay – ran away – didn’t play,
The devil, what a potion, he would brew.
He’d follow me around, build me up, tear me down,
Till I’ll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do.

Might as well, give up the fight again.
I know darn well he’ll convince me that he’s right again.
When he sings that sorry song

I’m just gonna tag along,
With that ole devil called love.

He’d follow me around, build me up, tear me down,
Till I’ll be so bewildered I wont know what to do.
Might as well, give up the fight again.
I know darn well he’ll convince me that he’s right again.
When he sings that sorry song

I’m just gonna tag along,
With that ole devil called love

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
(It takes your breath and it’ll leave you blind)

And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real

An everlasting world and you’re here with me eternally

Billy Ocean – Suddenly                                           118

I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
Until that first hello until that first smile
But if I had to do it all again I wouldn’t change a thing
Cause this love is everlasting

Suddenly life has new meaning to me
There’s beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up suddenly you’re in love

Girl you’re everything a man could want and more
One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
Holding hands as we walk along the shore
Never felt like this before now you’re all I’m living for

chorus

Each day I pray this love affair would last forever

Billy Ocean – When the Going Gets Tough                                              118a

Mike Oldfield – Moonlight shadow                                                     119

The last time ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn’t find how to push through

The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow


All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn’t find how to push through

chorus:

I stay, I pray
See you in heaven far away
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven one day

Four a.m. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow


Stars roll slowly in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to terms with me this night
But she couldn’t find how to push through

chorus                        solo

Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy and the air was alive
But she couldn’t find how to push through

Dolly Parton – 9 to 5                                                        120

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin’
The folks like me on the job from nine to five.

Workin’ nine to five, what a way to make a living
Barely gettin’ by it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Nine to five, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me.

They let you dream just to watch ‘em shatter
You’re just a step on the boss-man’s ladder
But you got dreams he’ll never take away
You’re in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in
Then the tide’s gonna turn and it’s all gonna roll your way.

Workin’ nine to five what a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Nine to five, yeah, they got you where they want you
There’s a better life and you think about it, don’t you
It’s a rich man’s game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin’ money in his wallet.

Nine to five, whoa, what a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it.

Nine to five, yeah, they got you where they want you
There’s a better life and you dream about it, don’t you
It’s a rich man’s game no matter what they call it…

Dolly Parton – I will always love you                            121

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go, but I know
I’ll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That’s all I am taking with me
Good-bye, please don’t cry
We both know that I’m not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life, treats you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
And I wish you joy
And happiness
But above all of this
I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers– islands in the stream  122


Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
I was soft inside there was something going on.

You do something to me that I can’t explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain ev’ry beat of my heart
We got something going on.

Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication.
All this love we feel needs no conversation.

Chorus:  We ride it together uh huh
             Makin’love with each other uh huh.
             Islands in the stream, that is what we are
             No one in between how can we be wrong
             Sail away with me to another world
             And we rely on each other uh huh
             From one lover to another uh huh.

I can’t live without you if the love is gone
Ev’rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin sight of the real thing.

But that won’t happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the messages is clear
This could be the year of the real thing.

No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never.
We start and end as one in love forever

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, I’ll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I’ll be watching you

Oh, can’t you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I’ll be watching you

Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, “Baby, baby, please”

Oh, can’t you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I’ll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take, I’ll be watching you

Every bond you break, every step you take (I’ll be watching you)

Every smile you fake, every claim you stake (I’ll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I’ll be watching you)

Propaganda – duel                                                  125

Eye to eye stand winners and losers
hurt by envy, cut by greed
face to face with their own disillusion
the scars of old romances still on their cheeks


and when blow by blow the passion dies

sweet little death just have been lies

the memories of gone by time
would still recall the lie

the first cut won’t hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming

it’s too late the decision is made by fate
time to prove what forever should last
whose feelings are so true as to stand the test
whose demands are so strong as to parry all attempts


and when blow by blow the passion dies

sweet little death just have been lies

the memories of gone by time
would still recall the lie

the first cut won’t hurt at all
the second only makes you wonder
the third will have you on your knees
you start bleeding I start screaming

Queen – Crazy little thing called love                             126

This thing called love, I just can’t handle it
This thing called love, I must get round to it
I ain’t ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

       There goes my baby
       She knows how to Rock’n’Roll
       She drives my crazy
       She gives me hot and cold fever
       Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool relax, get hip, get on my track’s
Take a back seat, hitch hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I’m ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool relax get hip, get on my track’s etc


This thing called love
I just can’t handle it
This thing called love
I must get round to it
I ain’t ready
Crazy little thing called love.

Queen – I want to break free                                                                                                   127


I want to break free  2x
I want to break free from your lies
You’re so self-satisfied I don’t need you, I’ve got to break free
God knows
God knows I want to break free

I’ve fallen in love
I’ve fallen in love for the first time
and this time I know it’s for real, I’ve fallen in love
God knows
God knows I’ve fallen in love

It’s strange but it’s true
I can’t get over the way you like me like you do
But I have to be sure when I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free (there, there)
Oh how I want to be free
Oh how I want to break free

But life still goes on,
I can’t get used to livin’ without you by my side
I don’t want to live alone
God knows
I’ve got to make it on my own
So baby can’t you see
I’ve got to break free

I’ve got to break free
I want to break free
I want I want I want I want to break free


Queen – Radio ga ga                                                                        128

Radio
I’d sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds – invaded by Mars
You made ‘em laugh – you made ‘em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio

So don’t become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don’t know or just don’t care
And just complain when you’re not there


You had your time, you had the power
You’ve yet to have your finest hour
Radio – radio

All we hear is radio ga ga radio goo goo radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga radio blah blah
Radio what’s new ? Radio, someone still loves you

We watch the shows – we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Let’s hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around ‘cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual


You had your time – you had the power
You’ve yet to have your finest hour – radio

All we hear is   etc.

Rah band – Clouds across the moon                                                   129

Hi darlin’ ! How are you doing?
Hey baby, where’re your sleeping?
Oh I’m sorry, but I’ve been really missing you

Hi darlin’ ! How’s the weather?
Say baby, is that cold better now?
Oh I’m sorry, is there someone there with you?


Ooooh…since you went away, there’s nothing goin’ right
I just can’t sleep alone at night

I’m not ashamed to say I badly need a friend…or it’s the end.

chorus
Now, when I look at the cloud’s across the moon.
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon.
Oh baby, you’ll hurry home to me.


Hi darlin’, the kids say they love you.
Hey baby, is everything fine with you?
Please forgive me, but I’m trying not to cry.


Ooooh…I’ve had a million different lovers on the phone.
But I just stayed right here at home.
I don’t think that I can take it anymore this crazy war.

Deviate to contemplate this audio visual opiate
One hundred years from now

                In America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah


A pocket full of posies and cheap scented roses
Every house should have it’s hat on
So in and out and round and round, up and down and lost and found
Hey ah ha!

Will you hear us in the heart of America?

Something’s going on that’s not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights
We’re gonna have a party, it’s starting tonight

[Chorus]
Oh, what a feeling
When we’re dancing on the ceiling

Ooh it looks like everybody is having a ball

            Come on! Let’s get down!

Just getting started

Everybody clap your hands
Come on
Everybody let’s dance

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Lionel Richie – Hello                                                     131a

I’ve been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I’ve kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You’re all I’ve ever wanted, and my arms are open wide
‘Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I’ve just got to let you know

‘Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven’t got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you

Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

Cock Robin – The promise you made                                    132

If I laid down my love to come to your defense
Would you worry for me with a pain in your chest?
Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along?
Tell me

chorus:

You’ll be there in my hour of need
You won’t turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

If I gave you my soul for a piece of your mind
Would you carry me with you to the far edge of time?
Could you understand if you found me untrue
Would we become one, or divided in two
Please tell me

chorus

Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along
Please tell me

You’ll be there in my hour of need
You won’t turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

Roxette – It Must Have Been Love                                            133


Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, there is an air silence
In the bedroom all around

Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away

It must have been love, but it’s over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it’s over now
From the moment we touched till the time I ran out

Make believing we’re together
That I’m sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I turn to water
Like a teardrop in your palm

And it’s a hard winter’s day, I dream away

It must have been love, but it’s over now
It was all that I wanted, now I’m living without
It must have been love, but it’s over now
It’s where the water flows, it’s where the wind blows

It must have been love, but it’s over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it’s over now
From the moment we touched till the time I ran out

Yeah it must have been love, but it’s over now
It was all that I wanted, now I’m living without
It must have been love, but it’s over now
It’s where the water flows, it’s where the wind blows

It must have been love, but it’s over now

Jennifer Rush – The Power of Love                                        133a

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

chorus:
‘Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can

Lost is how I’m feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside’s too
Much to take
That all ends when I’m with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I’m far away
Never wonder where I am
‘Cause I am always by your side

chorus

We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love

            The sound of your heart beating
            Made it clear suddenly

            the feeling that I can’t go on
            Is lightyears away

chorus

Smooth operator  –  Sade                                          134

Diamond life, lover boy
He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start

No need to ask he’s a smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator, smooth operator

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale

Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase

A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold

No need to ask he’s a smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator, smooth operator

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale

Smooth operator, smooth operator

Sade – Sweetest taboo                                                                    135

If I tell you, if I tell you now
Will you keep on will you keep on loving me
If I tell you, if I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me

You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you’re giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

There’s a quiet storm and it never felt like this before
There’s a quiet storm that is you
There’s a quiet storm and it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that’s taboo
(Sometimes I think you’re just too good for me)

You give me the sweetest taboo
That’s why I’m in love with you
You give me the sweetest taboo
Sometimes I think you’re just too good for me

I’d do anything for you, I’d stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don’t let it slip away

There’s a quiet storm   etc

You give me the sweetest taboo
That’s why I’m in love with you
You give me, you’re giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

You’ve got the biggest heart
Sometimes I think you’re just too good for me
Every day is Christmas, and every night is new years eve

Will you keep on loving me
Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

Your love is king –  Sade                                                       136

Your love is king, crown you with my heart
Your love is king never need to part
Your kisses ring round and round and round my head


Touching the very part of me
It’s making my soul sing
Tearing the very heart of me
I’m crying out for more


Your love is king, crown you with my heart
Your love is king, you’re the ruler of my heart
Your kisses ring round and round and round my head


Touching the very part of me
It’s making my soul sing
I’m crying out for more
Your love is king

I’m coming out
I’m coming
You’re making me dance inside

Your love is king      etc

Touching the very part of me
It’s making my soul sing
I’m crying out for more
Your love is king

This is no blind faith
This is no sad or sorry dream
This is no blind faith

Your love, your love is real

Gotta crown me with your heart
Never never need to part
Touch me

Stop – Sam Brown                                                                                                      137

All that I have is all that you’ve given me
did you ever worry that I’d come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
now I find you’ve lied and I can’t believe it’s true

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
and I can’t help but wonder if she knows what’s going on
you talk of love but you don’t know how it feels
when you realise that you’re not the only one

chorus  Oh you’d better stop before you tear me all apart
                        you’d better stop before you go and break my heart
                        ooh you’d better stop

Time after time I’ve tried to walk away
but it’s not that easy when your soul is torn in two
so I just resign myself to it every day
now all I can do is to leave it up to you

                        Oh you’d better stop before you tear me all apart
                        you’d better stop before you go and break my heart
                        ooh you’d better stop


bridge

if love me                                                         (you will remember)
now’s the time to be sorry         (that day forever)
I won’t believe that you’d walk out on me

                        Oh you’d better stop before you tear me all apart
                        you’d better stop before you go and break my heart
                        ooh you’d better stop

Feargal Sharkey – A Good Heart                                         137a

I hear a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true,
all about love, and what it can do to you.
Highest risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt,
and still, I have so much to learn.
I know, ‘cause I think about it all the time.
I know that real love ist quite a price.

Chorus:
And a good heart these days is hard to find,
(a good heart) True love, the lasting kind.
A good heart these days is hard to find,
so please be gentle with this heart of mine.

My expectations may be high, I blame it on my youth.
Soon enough I’ll learn the painful truth.
I’ll face it like a fighter, then boast of how I’ve grown,
anything is better than being alone.
I know ‘cause I learn a little every day.
I know ‘cause I listen when the experts say-

chorus

Yes, I’m reflecting all my childhood dreams.
My ideas of love weren’t as foolish as they seemed.
If I don’t start looking now, I’ll be left behind,
and a good heart these days, it’s hard to find.
I know it’s a dream I’m willing to defend.
I know it will all be worth it in the end.

chorus
A good heart

                                    Love’s strange, so real in the dark

As you walk on by will you call my name
When you walk away

Oh    Will you walk away, will you walk on by  Come on, call my name
Will you call my name –    I said  La, la la la la

Carly Simon – Coming Around Again                                   138a

Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering

chorus:
I know nothin’ stays the same
But if you’re willin’ to play the game
It’s comin’ around again
So don’t mind if I fall apart
There’s more room in a broken heart

Pay the grocer
You fix the toaster
You kiss the host goodbye
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflé
Scream a lullaby

chorus

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
So in love with you

chorus

Snowy White – Bird Of Paradise                                                  138b

Saw you flying by
Flash of Turquoise Blue
I just had to try
To keep your life in view

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise

Wish that I could fly
I’d be beside you now
But I can only sigh
And watch you circle round

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise

So you fly away
When will you come again
So I can watch you play
In the pouring rain

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise

Spandau Ballet – Gold                                                                    139

Thank you for coming home
I’m sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn

These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away
Just another play for today
Oh but I’m proud of you,but I’m proud of you

Nothing left to make me feel small
Luck has left me standing so tall

Chorus:
Gold – Always believe in your soul
You’ve got the power to know you’re indestructable
Always believe in
Cause you are gold – glad that you’re bound to return
There’s something I could have learned
You’re indestructable,always believe in

After the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
Remember we were partners in crime

It’s only two years ago
The man with the suit and the pace
You knew that he was there on the case
Now he’s in love with you, he’s in love with you

My love is like a high prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall

Chorus

My love is like a high prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall

(Chorus)


Spandau Ballet – through the barricades                          140

Mother doesn’t know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that’s turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice

chorus              And now I know what they’re saying
                                    As our sun begins to fade
                                    And we made our love on wasteland
                                    And through the barricades

Father made my history
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
He taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart but now that’s torn in two

chorus

Born on different sides of life
But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I’m asleep
And we’ll cross the line and dance upon the streets

chorus

bridge:
Oh, turn around and I’ll be there
Well there’s a scar right through my heart but I’ll bare it again
Oh, I thought we were the human race
But we were just another borderline case
And the stars reach down and tell us
That there’s always one escape


Oh, I don’t know where love has gone
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
Friday’s child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose, there’s everything to go

chorus 2 x

How many times – Lori Spee                                                          141

How many times will you fall
Stand alone with your back to the wall
How many times will it take
’till you crawl out from behind your mistake

Refrein:     How many points did you win today
                   How many times will you trough ém all away
                   What is it you wanna hear from me
                   But i think I’m running out of sympathy

I don’t know what you expected
I can’t get into your shoes
The minute you decide, you gonna take that ride
There’s a chance you might win but then again you might lose

I never said it’ be easy
And I never gave guarantees
The things you have to do are mostly up to you
And I wouldn’t stop ya, I couldn’t even if I tried

Come on and give me that smile, I’d like to think you’re worth my while

Refrein

You don’t get something for nothing
They don’t give it away
You wanna do what’s right, you gotta stand and fight
And don’t pay much attention to the empty things they say

Life can be something you suffer
Something you can enjoy
When I combine the two, I still come up with you
Standing before me with fire in your eyes

Come on and give me that smile, I’d like to think you’re worth my wile

Refrein

How many times will you fall
Stand alone with your back to the wall
How many times will it take
’till you crawl out from behind your mistake
Refrein


Dancing in the dark  –  Bruce Springsteen                                  142

I get up in the evening and I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired
Man I´m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby I could use just a little help

-Chorus-
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer, radio’s on and I’m moving ‘round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain’t getting nowhere just living in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is                          -Chorus-

You sit around getting older
There’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
I’ll shake this world off my shoulder
Come on baby the laugh’s on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they’ll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby I’m just about starving tonight
I’m dying for some action
I’m sick of sitting ‘round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction, come on now baby gimme just one look

You can’t start a fire sitting ‘round crying over a broken heart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You can’t start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

Donna Summer – The woman in me                              142-1


Dancing close feeling restless, it’s a slow sultry night
It will be a life time til sunrise, if you don’t stay with me tonight
Feel your breath caress my shoulder as your heart frees my mind
You don’t have to tell me anything I can see everything in your eyes

chorus
It’s so easy with you, I don’t need an excuse to be the woman in me
It’s so hard to believe that I’m feelin so free to be the woman in me
Baby theres so much no man has ever touched of the woman in me

I might be tremblin but I’m not scared, just my desire breakin free
I never had the chance like this before, to unlock all the doors

to the woman in me

chorus

Like the dark side of the full moon
i’ve never shown
what I’m showing to you

Donna Summer – State of independence                                         142a

State of life, may I live, may I love
Coming out the sky, I name me a name
Coming out silver word for what it is
It is very nature of the sound, the game

Shablamidi, shablamida

Shot to the soul the flame of oroladian
Essence of the word

Sounds like a signal from you
Bring me to meet your sound
And I will bring you to my heart

Love, like a signal you call
Touching my body, my soul
Bring to me, you to meet me here

Home, be the temple of your heart
Home, be the body of your love
Just like holy water to my lips(Hey, hey)

Yes, I do know how I survive
Yes, I do know why I’m alive
To love and be with you
Day by day by day by day

Time, time again, it is said
We will hear, we will see
See it all in his wisdom hear

This truth will abound the land
This state of independence shall be 2 x

Say, yeah-e-yay, yeah-e-yo
Be the sound of higher love today Yeah-e-yeah (hey, hey)

Time, time again, it is said etc

Starship – Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now                                  142b

Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I’ve found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I’m feeling for you

Let ‘em say we’re crazy, I don’t care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby, don’t ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we’re heart to heart

chorus:
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

I’m so glad I found you
I’m not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I’m gonna do

Let ‘em say we’re crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby, don’t ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we’re heart to heart

chorus
Ooh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever, hey  (solo)

Survivor – Eye of the tiger                                          143

Rising up back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor, stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all, in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor, stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all, in the eye of the tiger

Risin’ up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor, stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all, in the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Tears for fears – Everybody wants to rule the world       144

Welcome to your life
There’s no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behavior-Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world.

It’s my own design
It’s my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world.

There’s a room where the light won’t find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I’ll be right behind you.
So glad we’ve almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world.

I can’t stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you’ll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world.

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world.

Toto – Africa                                                                              145

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She’s coming in twelve thirty flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars
That guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some long forgotten words
Or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say,
Hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you

chorus
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing
For some solitary company
I know that I must do what’s right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
Above the Serangetti
I seek to cure what’s deep inside,
Frightened of this thing that I’ve become

chorus

solo

Hurry boy, she’s waiting there for you

chorus

Toto – Rosanna                                                                    145a

All I want to do when I wake up in the morning

is see your eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you

could ever care for me, Rosanna

All I want to do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn’t know you were looking for more than I could ever be

chorus:

Not quite a year since she went away

Rosanna
Now she’s gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way

meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way

meet you all the way, Rosanna

I can see your face still shining through the window

on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn’t know that a girl like you

could make me feel so sad, Rosanna

All I want to tell you is now you’ll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna

Toto – Stop Loving You                                                          145b

Reflections in my mind, thoughts I can’t define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh, coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings


Well intended lies, contemplating alibis
Is it really you, or is it me I’m blaming
A distant memory – flashes over me
Even though you’re gone, I feel you deep inside

Woooh

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

[Chorus:]
I can’t stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won’t stop till I’m through loving you, girl

There’s a window in a heart, I’ve tried to look through from the start
You’re never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someone’s broken something new, another altered point of view
_ Just a certain someone’s conscience playing

I held it in my hand, I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Tried to catch a shooting star, what seems so close can’t be that far
I’m living in a dream that’s never ending

Woooh
Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

[Chorus]        solo

Woooh, oooh dancing with that look that’s in your eyes

[Chorus]  2x
 loving you…

Bonnie Tyler – Total eclipse of the heart                                                    146
Turnaround

Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild

Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I’m lying like a child in your arms

Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I’ve got to get out and cry

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes

chorus

Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you’ll only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
Cause we’ll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

 solo

Turnaround bright eyes 2 x


Turnaround

Every now and then I know you’ll never be the boy you always wanted to be

But every now and then I know you’ll always be the only boy

who wanted me the way that I am

Every now and then I know there’s no one in the universe

as magical and wondrous as you

Every now and then I know there’s nothing any better

and there’s nothing that I just wouldn’t do
chorus

U2 – With or Without You                                                   146a

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

Where the streets have no name – U2                         147

I want to run, I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It’s all I can do

The city’s aflood and our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind trampled in dust
I’ll show you a place, high on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

chorus

Our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love, see our love turn to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It’s all I can do

The unforgettable fire                                  147a

Ice, your only rivers run cold
These city lights they shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night your eyes as black as coal

Walk on by, walk on through
Walk ’til you run and don’t look back for here I am

Carnival, the wheels fly and the colors spin
Through alcohol, red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face in a dry and waterless place

Walk on by, walk on through
So sad to beseige your love so hang on
Stay in this time, stay tonight in a lie
I’m only asking but I, I think you know


Come on take me away
Come on take me away
Come on take me home
Home again

And if the mountain should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay in this time, stay tonight in a lie
Ever after is a long time and if you save your love
Save your, save it all

Don’t push me too far, don’t push me too far
Tonight

UB40 – Red red wine                                              148

Red, red wine, goes to my head,
makes me forget that I
still need you so

Red, red wine, it’s up to you
All I can do, I’ve done
But memories won’t go
No, memories won’t go

I’d have thought that with time
thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine, stay close to me
don’t let me be alone
it’s tearing apart
my blue, blue heart

I’d have thought that with time
thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine, stay close to me
don’t let me be alone
it’s tearing apart
my blue, blue heart

Ultravox – Vienna                                                            148a

Walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until

The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna


The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings
A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance


The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna


This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

Van Halen – Why can’t this be love                                       149

Oh here it comes
That funny feeling again winding me up inside
Every time we touch
Hey I don’t know
Oh, tell me where to begin cause I never ever felt so much

bridge
And I can’t recall any love at all
Baby this blows ‘em all away

chorus
It’s got what it takes
So tell me why can’t this be love?
Straight from my heart
Oh, tell me why can’t this be love?

I tell myself
Hey only fools rush in an only time will tell
If we stand the test of time
All I know
You’ve got to run to win an I’ll be damned if
I’ll get hung up on the line

bridge

chorus

It’s got what it takes
So tell me why can’t this be love
Straight from the heart
Oh, tell me why can’t this be love

Baby why can’t this be love
Got to know why can’t this be love
I wanna know why can’t this be love

Suzanne Vega – Luka                                                      150

Myname is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you’ve seen me before


if you hear something late at night
some kind of trouble some kind of fight
just don’t ask me what it was  3 x


I think it’s ‘cause I’m clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
maybe it’s because I’m crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
after that you don’t ask why
you just don’t argue anymore   3 x


Yes I think I’m okay
I walked into the door again
if you ask that’s what I’ll say
and it’s not your business anyway
I guess I’d like to be alone
with nothing broken, nothing thrown
just don’t ask me how I am   3 x


My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you’ve seen me before

They only hit until you cry
after that you don’t ask why

Suzanne Vega – Marlene on the wall                                                151

Even if I am in love with you all this to say, what’s it to you?
Observe the blood, the rose tattoo of the fingerprints on me from you

Other evidence has shown that you and I are still alone
We skirt around the danger zoneAnd don’t talk about it later

chorus:
Marlene watches from the wall her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall of every soldier passing

But the only soldier now is me I’m fighting things I cannot see
I think it’s called my destiny that I am changing
Marlene on the wall

Well, I walk to your house in the afternoon
By the butcher shot with the sawdust strewn
“Don’t give away the goods too soon”
Is what she might have told me

And I tried so hard to resist
When you held me in your handsome fist
And reminded me of the night we kissed
And why I should be leaving

chorus   

1e couplet en 2e herhalen

Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every man who’s been here

But the only one here now is me
I’m fighting things I cannot see
I think it’s called my destiny
That I am changing, changing,
changing, changing, changing,


Rosie Vela – Magic smile                                                     151a

I can’t imagine how

you`d thrill me and then you`d walk away.
I can`t imagine how

you`d love me and then you`d go away.

Chorus:
Oh but Oh Oh magic is there when you smile.
Just like a Hollywood child.
And I haven`t noticed just where you`ve been.
Like a stranger.

Like in a wind. I could tell you were a fast-as-ya-can-man.
And good advice I could give to you.
I wanna see you now.
I don`t care. I don`t eat. I don`t sleep. I don`t cry.
No no. We`re 2 of a kind. Oh no.
Tell me control. It`s too much time.

I been tryin` to see ya baby. I been dyin` to keenovay.
I been tryin` to see ya baby. Any way that I can.
I been tryin` to see ya baby. I been dyin` to keenovay.
I been tryin` to see ya baby. And I wonder why.

chorus

Like in my heart I could tell
You were a fast-as-ya-can-man. etc

I can`t imagine how

you`d love me and then you`d run away.
I`m over my head. I can`t believe it.
I can`t imagine how

you`d love me and then go away. Oh but oh da da da da…


I just have to say. Modern Man was meant to win.
Lovin` you is all I want. I can taste, I can feel…No no.
Guess love`s real. That`s what they say now.
Undiscovered consciousness they call love.
I said less than this, less than this: goodbye.
It`s too much time.

Everyday I hear a different story
People saying that you’re no good for me
“Saw your lover with another and she’s making a fool of you”

If you loved me baby you’d deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I’m a baby, and I don’t understand

            But you know that I’ll forgive you

            just this once, twice, forever
            ‘Cause baby, you could drag me to hell and back
            Just as long as we’re together
            And you do

chorus:
I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don’t need your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can’t escape until you love me
I just go from day to day knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I’m a fool to give you all that I do
I bet you someday baby someone says the same to you

            But you know that I’ll forgive you   etc

Wham! – The Edge of Heaven                                                                  151d

I would lock you up but I could not bear to hear you
Screaming to be set free
I would chain you up if I’d thought you’d swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me


I would strap you up but don’t worry baby
You know I wouldn’t hurt you ‘less you wanted me to
It’s too late to stop, won’t the heavens save me?
My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you

chorus:
You take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul’s forgiven
Hide you baby’s eyes and we can,
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
         When the passion dies,
         It’s just a matter of time before my heart is looking for a home

I’m like a maniac, at the end of the day
I’m like a doggie barking at your door
So come take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do it once more

You say I’m dangerous, but don’t worry baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there’s a place for us in a dirty movie
‘cause no-one does it better than me and you

chorus
Please don’t tell me lies
It’s just a matter of time before my heart is looking for a home

         I ain’t got no more worries
         I’m gonna spend some times with you
         Loving you takes such courage
         And don’t you think that I know it              solo

chorus
Don’t you tell me lies, because believe me baby
One day you’ll wake up on your own.

I ain’t got no more worries, I ain’t got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage, everyone’s got their eyes on you
I ain’t got no more worries, I ain’t got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don’t you think that I know it

Jitterbug 4x

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin’ starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang ’til my feet do the same


But something’s bugging you
Something ain’t right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin’ in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead.


Chorus:
Wake me up before you go-go
Don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don’t want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
‘Cause I’m not plannin’ on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I want to hit that high (yeah, yeah)

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

‘Cause you’re my lady, I’m your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let’s not fight
We’ll go dancing, everything will be all right

chorus(Jitterbug)
Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We’ll go dancing tomorrow night
It’s cold out there, but it’s warm in bed
They can dance, we’ll stay home instead

Let’s hear it for the boy – Deniece Williams                         153

My baby he don’t talk sweet
He ain’t got much to say
But he loves me, loves me, loves me
I know that he loves me anyway

And maybe he don’t dress fine
But I don’t really mind
Because every time he pulls me near
I just want to cheer

Let’s hear it for the boy
Let’s give the boy a hand
Let’s hear it for my baby
You know you go to understand

Whoa, maybe he’s no Romeo
But he’s my lovin’ one-man show
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Let’s hear it for the boy

My baby may not be rich
He’s watchin’ every dime
But he loves me, loves me, loves
We always have a real good time

And maybe he sings off key
But that’s alright by me
Because what he does he does so well
Makes me wanna yell

chorus


Higher love – Steve Winwood                                        154                                       

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, I’ll look inside mine

bridge: Things look so bad everywhere
                        In this whole world, what is fair?
                        We walk blind and we try to see
                        Falling behind in what could be

chorus:

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we’re just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning and it’s real to me
There must be someone who’s feeling for me

bridge

chorus

I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I’m not too late for it
Until then, I’ll sing my song
To cheer the night along

solo

            I could light the night up with my soul on fire
            I could make the sun shine from pure desire
            Let me feel that love come over me
            Let me feel how strong it can be  

chorus

I could rise above on a higher love

Paul Young – Come back and stay                                                                 155

Since you’ve been gone
I shut my eyes
And I fantasize
That you’re here with me

Will you ever return?
I want you satisfide
‘Till you’re by my side
Don’t wait any longer…

Why don’t you come back?
Please hurry, Why dont you come back?
Please hurry…
Come back and stay for good this time 2x


You said goodbye
I was trying to hide
What I felt inside
Untile you passed me by

You said you’d return
You said that you’d be mine
‘Till the end of time
Don’t wait any longer!

Please hurry, why don’t you come back? 2x
Please hurry…
Come back and stay for good this time 2x

Since you’ve been gone…
Opened my eyes
And I realize
What we had together

Will you ever return?
I’ll have you change your mind
If you won’t stay mine
Just love me forever!
love me forever…

Please hurry, why don’t you come back?
Please hurry!
Come back and stay for good this time   Don’t ever leave me
