I touch ...

I love myself

I want you to love me

When I feel down

I want you above me

I search myself

I want you to find me

I forget myself

I want you to remind me



I don't want, anybody else

When I think about you

I touch myself

Ohhh, I dont want anybody else

Oh no, oh no, oh no



You're the one who makes me grow money

You're the sun who makes me shine

When you're around I'm always laughing

I wanna make you mine



I close my eyes

And see you before me

Think I would die

If you were to ignore me

Have a look and see

Just how much I adore you

I'd get down on my knees

I'd do anything for you



I don't want, anybody else

When I think about you

I touch myself

Ohhh, I dont want anybody else

Oh no, oh no, oh no



I love myself

I want you to love me

When I feel down

I want you above me

I search myself

I want you to find me

I forget myself

I want you to remind me



I don't want, anybody else

When I think about you

I touch myself

Ohhh, I dont want anybody else

Oh no, oh no, oh no



I want you

I don't want anybody else

And when I think about you

I touch myself

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh



I don't want, anybody else

When I think about you

I touch myself

Ohhh, I dont want anybody else

When I think about you

I touch myself...

Take me with you

I can't disguise the pounding of my heart

It beats so strong

It's in your eyes what can I say

They turn me on



I don't care where we go

I don't care what we do

I don't care pretty baby

Just take me with u



Come on and touch the place in me

That's calling out your name

We want each other oh so much

Why must we play this game?



Don't care where we go

I don't care what we do

I don't care pretty baby

Just take me with u



I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion

I don't care if we spend the night on the town

All I want is 2 spend the night together

All I want is 2 spend the night in your arms



To be around u is so-oh right

You're sheer perfection (thank u)

Drive me crazy, drive me all night

Just don't break up the connection



I don't care where we go

I don't care what we do

I don't care pretty baby

Just take me with u



I don't care where we go

I don't care what we do

I don't care pretty baby

Just take me with u



Just take me with u

Oh won't u take me with u

Honey take me with u

The fool on the hill

Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Well on his way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

woah ooh,
Round and round and round.

He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fool
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Eenzame fietser

Hoe sterk is de eenzame fietser
die kromgebogen over zijn stuur
tegen de wind
zichzelf een weg baant?
Hoe zelfbewust de voetbalspeler
die voor de ogen van het publiek
de wedstrijd wint,
zich kampioen waant?
Hoe lacht vergenoegd de zakenman
zonder mededogen die concurrent
verslagen vindt,
zelf haast failliet gaand.

En ik zit hier tevreden
met die kleine op mijn schoot.
De zon schijnt, er is geen reden
met rotweer en met harde wind
te gaan fietsen met dat kind.

Als ie maar geen voetballer wordt,
ze schoppen hem misschien half dood.

Als ie maar geen voetballer wordt,
ze schoppen hem misschien half dood.

Maar liever dat nog
dan het bord voor zijn kop
van de zakenman,
want daar wordt hij alleen maar slechter van.

Το τρενο φενγι στισ οχτο

Το τραίνο φεύγει στις οχτώ
ταξείδι για την Κατερίνη
Νοέμβρης μήνας δεν θα μείνει
να μή θυμάσαι στις οχτώ
να μή θυμάσαι στις οχτώ
το τραίνο για την Κατερίνη
Νοέμβρης μήνας δεν θα μείνει

Σε βρήκα πάλι ξαφνικά
να πίνεις ούζο στου Λευτέρη
νύχτα δε θα 'ρθει σ' άλλα μέρη
να 'χεις δικά σου μυστικά
να 'χεις δικά σου μυστικά
και να θυμάσαι ποιός τα ξέρει
νύχτα δε θα 'ρθει σ' άλλα μέρη

Το τραίνο φεύγει στις οχτώ
μα εσύ μονάχος σου έχεις μείνει
σκοπιά φυλάς στην Κατερίνη
μεσ' στην ομίχλη πέντε οχτώ
μεσ' στην ομίχλη πέντε οχτώ
μαχαίρι στη καρδιά σου εγίνει
σκοπιά φυλάς στην Κατερίνη

Je suis

Je ne rêve plus
Je ne fume plus
Je n'ai même plus d'histoire
Je suis seule sans toi
Je suis laide sans toi
Je suis Comme une orpheline dans un dortoir
Je n'ai plus envie
De vivre ma vie
Ma vie cesse quand tu pars
Je n'ai plus de vie
Et même mon lit
Se transforme en quai de gare
Quand tu t'en vas...
Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Comme quand ma mère sortait le soir
Et qu'elle me laissant seul avec mon désespoir
Je suis malade
Parfaitement malade
T'arrive on ne sait jamais quand
Tu repars on ne sait jamais où
Et ça va faire bientôt deux ans
Que tu t'en fous...
Comme à un rocher
Comme à un péché
Je suis accroché à toi
Je suis fatiguée, je suis épuisée
De faire semblant d'être heureuse
Quand ils sont là
Je bois toutes les nuits
même tous les whiskys
Pour moi ont le même goût
Et tous les bateaux
Portent ton drapeau
Je ne sais plus où aller tu es partout...
Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Je verse mon sang dans ton corps
Et je suis comme un oiseau mort
Quand toi tu dors
Je suis malade
Parfaitement malade
Tu m'as privée de tous mes chants
Tu m'as vidée de tous mes mots
Pourtant moi j'avais du talent
Avant ta peau...
Cet amour me tue
Si ça continue
Je crèverai seule avec moi
Comme un gosse idiot
Près de ma radio
en écoutant ma propre voix qui chantera...
Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Comme quand ma mère sortait le soir
Et qu'elle me laissait seule avec mon désespoir
Je suis malade
c'est ça je suis malade
Tu m'as privée de tous mes chants
Tu m'as vidée de tous mes mots
Et j'ai le coeur complètement malade
Cerné de barricades
T'entends... Je suis malade...

In dreams

A candy colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper,
"Go to sleep, everything is alright."

I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly say a silent prayer
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep and dream my dreams of you

In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all the time
With you ever in dreams, in dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it
If I cry
I remember that you said goodbye

It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams, beautiful dreams

(Roy Orbison)

The fool on the hill

Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Well on his way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

woah ooh,
Round and round and round.

He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fool
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

(lennon-mccarthny)

It is what is

Shakin’ from left to right
Every move that I make
Can make you understand
There’s a lot o’ love to take

‘cause as you know
it doesn’t matter where or how
the wind might blow
in the end we’ll all watch the show

when travlin’ in the south
eatin’ gravy and melons ripe
kissin’ you on your soft mouth
so you don’t need to wipe

but tears always fall
as does snow in winter
baby behold, if you need me, just call
for I’m waiting for you hinter
across the hall

I see you’re dressed
In white silken robes
While I’m the man in black
Standing waiting in your hall

Wear my ring and sign the paper
For we’ll still be in the fall
And when snow comes
We’ll stay in bed
That, my dearest, is all

(RD)

Don't leave home

Like a ghost don't need a key
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore

Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home

If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

And I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, like a child
Now all your love you give to me

When your heart is all I need

Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home

If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you

And if you're cold I'll keep you warm
And if you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

Cause I will be your safety
and I will be your safety
and I will be your safety
Oh don’t leave home

(Dido)

Zo kan je het ook kaderen uiteraard ...

I found a blue hair comb with a busted tooth gonna comb out my hair in this telephone booth gonna comb out love, gonna
comb out hate gonna get me a new look and I can't wait. I took a lethal dosage of dope in my youth, bit the hook of Jesus
- Oh! The terrible truth. I swallowed it hard for a damn good while,
but now I'm combing my hair in a brand new style. Combing my hair yeah. Combing my hair yeah. Combing my hair yeah.
Combing my hair in a brand new style. I take a midnight stroll in a Love's supermarket. I like passing the rows of candy
for sale. See the pale pretty girls in the magazines? Smiling at me like they know what I mean. You take your candy dandy,
your cheap girls - ruthless! Soul suckers all gonna end up toothless! Gumming the truth of life's discount aisle. Me I'm
combing my hair in a brand new style.
[CHORUS]
He used a blue hair comb with a busted tooth to comb out the tangles of his
messed up youth. Returning in glory to the scene of his trial, he was combing his hair in a brand new style. Yeah the
sorry story of his assorted crimes - his tribulations, his suffering mind all wiped clean and left miles behind. See him
prowling the street? He got the mojo smile. He's combing his hair in a brand new style.
[CHORUS]
I don't want no hoodoos, no
voodoo gurus, no spooked out priesty-beasty, no strippers with pasties, self-professed saviors of my soul, no low-down
top-secret CIA moles, no crackpot psychopathic behavior specialists, no shriners, no shiners, no decisive moment
existentialists, that's right, no vegetable, no mineral, no institution gonna disrupt the constitution of my ingenious
hairdo solution - see I got my sly pomade, my jelly in a jar! Now don't you mistake me for no movie star, 'cause I'm just
a humble jumble of God's crooked smile. Did you check out my hair in the brand new style?
[CHORUS]

(Jim White, combing my hair in a brand new style)

I need your love tonight

Oh, oh, oh I love you so
Uh, uh, uh, I can't let you go
Ooh, ooh, don't tell me no
I need your love tonight

Oh, gee, the way you kiss
Sweedee, too good to miss
Wow-whee, want more of this
I need your love tonight

I've been waiting just for tonight
To do some lovin' and hold you tight
Don't tell me baby you gotta go
I got the hifi high and the lights down low

Hey, now, hear what I say
Oh, wow, you better stay
Pow, pow, don't run away
I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

(reapeat 1 verse-3 verse)

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

Duet

I'm on the right track for lots of kissin'
So that old greenback, I won't be missin'
All the greatest things in life are free
Who needs money, not me

Cash or credit, it doesn't matter
Long as my bank books keep growin' fatter
Easy street is my favorite avenue
Who needs money, I do

Just pity all those millionaires they never can relax
Because they're always worryin' about their income tax
Why waste time on high financin', I'd rather spend it on good romancin'
What if my pockets are empty as can be
Who needs money, not me
Tell me about it

Some folks save it, some folks lend it
But as for me I want to spend it
Give me some green and my skies will be blue
Who needs money, I do

Stocks and bonds, they only bore me
Interest holds no interest for me
Who wants to sit in the lap of luxury
Who needs money, not me

When I go to bed at night instead of counting sheep
I start counting dollar bills and then I fall asleep

Making money never thrills me
It's making love that really kills me
What can I lose with my philosophy
Who needs money, not me

What do you want

I want a big yacht, I can cruise in
The kind that girls just can't refuse in
All it takes is a million or two
Who needs money, I do

Any time some gal starts flirtin'
Now that I'm broke I know for certain
She really digs my personality
Tell me, who needs money not me

Poverty's the only thing that money cannot buy
So rich or poor it pays to have M-O-N-E-Y

A gal who's tender, that's what I love

It's legal tender, I want a pile of
Just let my liquid assets overflow

You can't take it with you when you go
So, who needs money

That lovely, lovely money

Who needs money, not me

Helden

Du
Könntest Du schwimmen
Wie Delphine
Delphine es tun
Niemand gibt uns eine Chance
Doch können wir siegen
Für immer und immer
Und wir sind dann Helden
Für einen Tag

Ich
Ich bin dann König
Und Du
Du Königin
Obwohl sie
Unschlagbar scheinen
Werden wir Helden
Für einen Tag
Wir sind dann wir
An diesem Tag

Ich
Ich glaub' das zu träumen
die Mauer
Im Rücken war kalt
Die Schüsse reissen die Luft
Doch wir küssen
Als ob nichts geschieht
Und die Scham fiel auf ihre Seite
Oh, wir können sie schlagen
Für alle Zeiten
Dann sind wir Helden
Nur diesen Tag
Dann sind wir Helden
Dann sind wir Helden
Dann sind wir Helden
Nur diesen Tag

Dann sind wir Helden

(bowie)

baby baby baby

Baby, baby, baby
Tell me do you really love me
Baby, baby, baby
Will you always be there for me?
I can't live without your loving
Baby, can't you see
Baby, baby, baby
Tell me do you love me now

I can't wait to see your face everyday
I can't explain the way I feel
When I'm around you
There's a space in my heart
That belongs to you only
And nothing else in this world
Comes close to you

Do you understand what I say/
Do you understand me?
My thing for you and I'm not playing
Is all I need to know

Baby, baby, baby
Tell me do you really love me
Baby, baby, baby
Will you always be there for me?
I can't live without your loving
Baby, can't you see
Baby, baby, baby
Tell me do you love me now

Oh, oh, oh

I can't imagine how my life would be without you
I don't know if I'd survive another day
No pressuer, but I'd love to hear you say it
Promise me it's real
And that you would never fake it

(Joss stone)

Les vieux

Les vieux ne parlent plus
ou alors seulement
parfois du bout des yeux,
Même riches ils sont pauvres,
ils n'ont plus d'illusions,
et n'ont qu'un coeur pour deux.
Chez eux ça sent le thym,
le propre, la lavande,
et le verbe d'antan,
Que l'on vive à Paris,
on vit tous en province
quand on vit trop longtemps.
Est-ce d'avoir trop ri
que leur voix se lézarde
quand ils parlent d'hier ?
Et d'avoir trop pleuré
que des larmes encore
leur perlent les paupières ?
Et s'ils tremblent un peu
est-ce de voir vieillir
la pendule d'argent
Qui ronronne au salon,
qui dit oui, qui dit non,
qui dit : "Je vous attends".

2
Les vieux ne rêvent plus,
leurs livres s'ensommeillent,
leurs pianos sont fermés,
Le petit chat est mort.
Le muscat du dimanche
ne les fait plus chanter,
Les vieux ne bougent plus,
leurs gestes ont trop de rides,
leur monde est trop petit,
Du lit à la fenêtre,
puis du lit au fauteuil,
et puis du lit au lit,
Et s'ils sortent encore
bras dessus, bras dessous,
tout habillés de raide,
C'est pour suivre au soleil
l'enterrement d'un plus vieux,
l'enterrement d'une plus laide,
Et le temps d'un sanglot
oublier toute une heure
la pendule d'argent
Qui ronronne au salon,
qui dit oui, qui dit non,
et puis qui les attend.

3
Les vieux ne meurent pas,
ils s'endorment un jour
et dorment trop longtemps,
Ils se tiennent la main,
ils ont peur de se perdre,
et se perdent pourtant
Et l'autre reste là,
le meilleur ou le pire,
le doux ou le sévère,
Cela n'importe pas,
celui des deux qui reste
se retrouve en enfer.
Vous le verrez peut-être,
vous le verrez parfois
en pluie et en chagrin
Traverser le présent.
En s'excusant déjà
de n'être pas plus loin.
Et fuir devant vous
une dernière fois
la pendule d'argent
Qui ronronne au salon,
qui dit oui, qui dit non,
qui leur dit : "Je t'attends",
Qui ronronne au salon,
qui dit oui, qui dit non,
et puis qui nous attend

(Brel)
