BEAT GIRL (John Barry / Adam Faith, 1960)
=========


She`s nearly always here
digs all the modern gear
cool ,like a lager beer

Beat Girl

Tries anything for kicks
Lose you with the swinging hips
makes with the pretty lips

Beat Girl

"That`s the Beat girl feeding the coins into the Jukebox, looong black stockings and no make up. Big..big,big wheel setting up the coffee pot,she makes like she`s not over concerned about this extraordinary attention, keeps giving me the looks, like i`m supposed to rate this chick higher or something"

Clowns on the chicken run
gold, but it ain`t no fun
not less you done a ton

Drives in an old Sedan
Drives all the way she can
Jives like the crazy man

Beat Girl


TEACH ME TIGER (April Stevens, 1959)
==============


Hi Tiger...
Teach me tiger, i`ll kiss you...whoowhoowhoooowwhooooowwhoow

This is the first love that i have ever known
What must i do to make you my very own

Teach me Tiger i want to tease you...whoowhoowhoooowwhooooowwhoow
Tiger Tiger i wanna squeeze you...whoowhoowhoooowwhooooowwhoow

All of my love i will give to you
But teach me Tiger......
or i`ll teach you

Tiiiiger.....Tiiiiiiiger...


In Dreams (Roy Orbison, 1963)
=========


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 all right

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 to dream my dreams of you

In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you`re mine all of the time

We`re together 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`ll cry
I remember that you said goodbye

It`s too bad it only seems
It only happens in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams


WHATCHA SEE IS WHATCHA GET (The Dramatics, 1971)
======================================


Some people are made of plastic
And you know some people are made of wood
Some people have hearts of stone
Some people are up to no good

But baby I`m for real
I`m as real as real can get
If what you`re looking for is real loving
Then what you see is what you get

What you see is what you get
What you see is what you get
I said what you see is what you get now baby
And the real thing is the best thing yet

You know some people
Are made of lies to bring you down
And shame your name
But baby, I have good intentions
Cause breaking hearts just ain`t my game
All I want to do is love you
And sugar I won`t pin you with regret
If what you`re looking for is real loving
Then what you see is what you get

What you see is what you get


TAINTED LOVE (Gloria Jones, 1966)
============


Sometimes I feel I`ve got to. . . run away,
I`ve got to. . . get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me.
The love we share seems to go nowhere,
And I`ve lost my life,
For I toss and turn; I can`t sleep at night.

Chorus:
Once I ran to you, now I run from you.
The tainted love you`ve given,
I gave you all a girl could give you.
Take my tears and that`s not really all. . .
Tainted love, ohh, tainted love

Now I know I`ve got to. . . run away,
I`ve got to. . . get away.
You don`t really want any love from me.
To make things right you need someone to hold you tight,
And you think love is to pray,
Well I`m sorry I don`t pray that way.

Chorus

Don`t touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease.
I love you though you hurt me so.
If i do now pack my things and go.
Ohh, tainted love (repeat)
Touch me baby, tainted love (repeat & fade out)

The Millionaire`s Holiday (Combustible Edison, 1993)
=========================


If your pad is a wax museum
Be a swinger if you dare
Join the ranks of the young and exotic
Following a millionaire
A glass and a shaker
Our host is a real scene-maker
The millionaire`s holiday
The millionaire`s holiday
The millionaire`s holiday

Monk Time (The Monks, 1966)
=========


Alright, my name`s Gary.
Let`s go, it`s beat time, it`s hop time, it`s monk time now!
You know we don`t like the army.
What army?
Who cares what army?
Why do you kill all those kids over there in Vietnam?
Mad Viet Cong.
My brother died in Vietnam!
James Bond, who was he?
Stop it, stop it, I don`t like it!
It`s too loud for my ears.
Pussy galore`s comin` down and we like it.
We don’t like the atomic bomb.
Stop it, stop it, I don`t like it . . . stop it!

What`s your meaning Larry?
Ahh, you think like I think!
You`re a monk, I`m a monk, we`re all monks!
Dave, Larry, Eddie, Roger, everybody, let`s go!
It`s beat time, it`s hop time, it`s monk time now!

[CountryJoe]

now let us sing the classic version


I-Feel-Like-I`m-Fixin`-To-Die

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He`s got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We`re gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it`s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don`t ask me, I don`t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it`s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain`t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we`re all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let`s move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds
The only good commie is the one who`s dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we`ve blown `em all to kingdom come.

And it`s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don`t ask me, I don`t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it`s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain`t no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we`re all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don`t move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There`s plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it`s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don`t ask me, I don`t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it`s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain`t no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we`re all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don`t hesitate,
Send `em off before it`s too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it`s one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don`t ask me, I don`t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it`s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain`t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we`re all gonna die.

Halah (Mazzy Star)
=====


Well I think I see another side
maybe just another light that shines
And I look over now through the door
And I still belong to no one else
Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons
that you left.
And close my eyes til I see your surprise
And you`re leaving before my time.
Baby won`t you change your mind?
Surely don`t stay long
I`m missing you now.
It`s like I told you
I`m over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye.
Baby won`t you change your mind?
I guess that hasn`t changed someone
maybe nobody else could understand
I guess that you believe you are a woman
And that I am someone else`s man
But just before I see that you leave
I want you to hold on to things that you said
Baby I wish I were dead.
Surely don`t stay long
I`m missing you now.
It`s like I told you
I`m over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby won`t you change your mind?


Daddy`s Car (The Cardigans)
===========


We took off that sunny day
packed our things and went away
me and friends in daddy`s car
to find out how summers are
found a card to send from wherever we went
From Luxembourg to Rome
from Berlin to the moon
from Paris to Lausanne
from Athens to the sun
our car became a spacecraft
flashing through the world
crashed down in Amsterdam
We`ll take off some rainy day
pack our things and go away
families and hotelbars
to find out how summers are
find a card to send to some really old friends
From Luxembourg to Rome
from Berlin to the moon
from Paris to Lausanne
from Athens to the sun
our car became a spacecraft
flashing through the world
crashed down in Amsterdam



I REMEMBER  YOU (Chet Baker)
===============


Was it in Tahiti ? Or were we on the nile ?
Long long ago, say an hour or so
I recall that i saw you smile
I Remember You
You`re the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago
I remember you
You`re the one who said i love you too
Didn`t you know
And I remember too a distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain out of the blue
And when my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then I shall tell them
I  Remember You


Where the Rhythm takes you (1986, Makin` Time)
==========================

Oh yeah, i feel like rhythm shake me
and don`t you know it wants to make me

Move my body then i`ll start to ride
Over to you thats where i die

oh yeah i feel like rhythm
oh yeah i feel like rhythm
oh yeah i feel like rhythm



Here is My Number (1986, Makin` Time)
=================

When i`m all by myself and got nobody
i`d never thought that i ever need someone
When i see the moonlight, when i see the sunlight
Ain`t nobody here, there ain`t nobody moving

To think i`ve tried so hard
but what the hell they`ve done for me
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Here is my number baby
Take my number and hold it close to your heart
And if i should hurt you baby
Please forgive me girl and try to make a new start

When i`m all by myself and got nobody
i`d never thought that i ever need someone
When i see the moonlight, when i see the sunlight
Ain`t nobody here, there ain`t nobody moving

It always is the same
but i just have myself to blame
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Here is my number

It always is the same
but i just have myself to blame
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Here is my number baby
Take my number and hold it close to your heart
And if i should hurt you baby
Please forgive me girl and try to make a new start

Here is my number
in your heart

I know, I know (1963, Pookie Hudson & The Imperials)
==============


I know, (I know I know)
I know, I know, I know
This love will last for years
and darling I know (I know I know)
I know, I know, I know
That you were made for me

When i put the ring on your finger
and you said you`ll be my wife
Then you said you marry me
and love me for the rest of my life
oh darling

I know, (I know, I know)
I know, I know, I know
This love was made for real
And darling i know (I know, I know)
I know, I know, I know
That you were made for me

This is love i feel
Deep in my heart
There was a time i know
That i was the fool

And darling i know (I know I know)
I know, I know, I know
This love will last for years
This is love i feel
Deep in my heart

[tomoffel]

I get along without you very well (1955,Chet Baker)
==========================


I get along without you very well
of course i do

except when soft rain falls
and drip from leaves then i recall
the thrill of being sheltered in your arms
of course i do

but i get along without you very well

i forgotten you just like i should
of course i have
except to hear your name
or someones laugh that is the same
but i forgotten you just like i should

what a guy, what fool am i
to think my breaking heart could kit the moon
whats in store
should i fall once more
no, its best that i stick to my tune

I get along without you very well
of course i do
except perhaps in spring
but i should never think of spring
for that would surely break my heart in two





Everything happens to me (Chet Baker)
========================


I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I`ll go thru life just catchin colds and missin` trains

Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing
I`ve had the measels and the mumps
And when I play an ace
My partner always trumps
I guess i`m just a fool who never looks before he jumps

Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
that love would turn the trick to end despair
But now I just can`t fool this heart that thinks for me
I`ve mortgaged all my castles in the air

I`ve telegraphed and phoned
I send an `Airmail Special` too
Your answer was `Goodbye`
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you

Everything happens to me


You don`t know what love is (1953,Chet Baker)
===========================


You don`t know what love is,
until you`ve learned the meaning of the blues,
until you`ve loved a love you had to lose

You don`t know what love is

You don`t know how lips hurt
until you`ve kissed and had to pay the cost
until you flipped your heart and you have lost

You don`t know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart fears,
the thought of reminiscence ?
And how lips that taste of tears
lose their taste for kissing

You don`t know how hearts burn
for love that can not live yet never dies
until you faced each dawn with sleepless eyes

You don`t know what love is


Mirza (1965, Nino Ferrer)
=====

Z`avez pas vu Mirza ? Oh la la la la
Z`avez pas vu Mirza ? Oh la la la la
Z`avez pas vu Mirza ? Oh la la la la

Le temps de l`amour (1962, Francoise Hardy)
===================


c`est le temps de l`amour
le temps des copains
et de l`aventure
quand le temps va et vient
on ne pense à rien
malgré ses blessures

car le temps de l`amour
c`est long et c`est court
ça dure toujours
on s`en souvient

on se dit qu`a vingt ans
on est le roi du monde
et qu`eternellement
il y aura dans nos yeux
tout le ciel bleu

c`est le temps de l`amour
le temps des copains
et de l`aventure
quand le temps va et vient
on ne pense à rien
malgré ses blessures

car le temps de l`amour
ça vous met au coeur
beaucoup de chaleur
et de bonheur

un beau jour c`est l`amour
et le coeur bat plus vite
car la vie suit son cours
et l`on est tout heureux
d`être amoureux

c`est le temps de l`amour
le temps des copains
et de l`aventure
quand le temps va et vient
on ne pense à rien
malgré ses blessures

car le temps de l`amour
c`est long et c`est court
ça dure toujours
on s`en souvient



Maybe (1970, The Three Degrees)
=====


You know girls, it`s hard to find a guy that really blows your mind...
And you just dig everything he does like....like when he gives you that great big special hug. And then - mmhh - have a kiss. Girls, you know that kind. The kind that`s in the wrong place, at the wrong time and it really turns you on. Well...i had a guy like that. And at that time, it happens to all of us, we had an argument. And like all, and i mean all of us girls i said some pretty dumb things like, like `Get lost`... `I don`t wanna see you anymore`. But he was cool. He just stood there lookin` so hurt. And he said `If thats the way you want it`. And he split. And i just stood there lookin dumb and let that man walk right out of my life. And i`ve been this evil as a wet hand everysince i told myself i wasn`t gonna sweat it. But i did. Oh, he was inside of me...in my thoughts...in my dreams, everyplace i was all i saw was his face. And my friends, they knew. I know they knew.
And then one evening i was standing at the bus stop and i heard a voice behind me say: `Hi, baby`. Oh, i just fell all over apart inside because i haven`t heard that voice in such a long time. I turned around. And there he was. Looking good! Oh, i just can`t tell ya` how good that man looked to me. And as i stood there trying to maintain...myself, he asked me if i had a few minutes. I really wanted to tell him that i had a lifetime but i couldn`t blow my cool. We stopped in a cozy little place. And i guess the shock of seeing him made me order Martini, because that`s something that i have never done before. But i thought i needed someting stronger than coffee that evening. Oh, the music was soft...and the lights were low...and that drink has started going to my head. He hadn`t said anything about us, so i knew it was my move. And it had to be now. I could feel my nerves building. I couldn`t let him go, not this time. Not this time ! So i took his hand, looked him straight into the eyes. And i said...i said...i said:

Maybe
If i prayed every now (on my knees)
You`ll come home to me

And maybe maybe
If i`ll cried everyday
You`ll come back, you come back to stay

Maybe (Maybe Maybe Maybe)

Maybe
If i could hold your hand (Maybe)
You`d understand (Maybe Maybe Maybe)

Maybe, Maybe, Maybe, Maybe
If i just kiss your sweet lips
You remember to me

Maybe (Maybe Maybe Maybe)
Maybe (Maybe Maybe Maybe)
Maybe (Maybe Maybe)
Maybe



Lover Man (Oh, Where can you be?) (Billie Holiday)
=================================


I don`t know why but I`m feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissin`
Oh, what I`ve been missin`
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

The night is cold and I`m so alone
I`d give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

I`ve heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you`ll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we`ll meet
And you`ll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear

Hugging and a-kissing
Oh, what I`ve been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?


The Killing Moon (Echo & The Bunnymen)
================


Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you`ll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate...
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung up with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate...
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you`ll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate...
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate...
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...

Fate...
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...

Fate...
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate...
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...


Lonely Sea (The Beach Boys)
==========


The Lonely sea
The lonely sea
It never stops
For you or me

It moves along
From day
To day

That`s why my love (oooo-oooo-oooo)
That`s why my love (oooo-oooo-oooo)
You`ll never stay (oooo-oooo-oooo)
You`ll never stay (oooo-oooo-oooo) (Ooooooo)

This pain in my heart (ooooooooo)
These tears in my eyes (ooooooooo)
Please tell the truth (ooooooooo)
You`re like the lonely sea (sea)
Sea (sea)

The lonely sea (sea) (Lonely sea lonely sea)
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
Lonely sea (Lonely sea lonely sea)
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
Lonely sea (Lonely sea lonely sea)
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
Lonely sea


Blue Velvet (Bobby Vinton)
===========


She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours

Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of

Blue velvet
But in my heart there`ll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears

She wore blue velvet
But in my heart there`ll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years

And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears


Blue Moon (Elvis Presley)
=========

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.

Blue moon,
You knew just what I was there for.
You heard me saying a pray for
Someone I really could care for.

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
Blue moon...
Without a love of my own...


Blue Moon Revisited (Song for Elvis) (The Cowboy Junkies)
====================================


I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
`cause he`s my true love
my only one don`t you see?

And on that fateful day
Perhaps in the new sun of May
My baby walks back into my arms
I`ll keep him beside me
forever from harm

You see I was afraid
to let my baby stray
I kept him too tightly by my side
and then one sad day
he went away and he died

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
someone I really could care for

I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
`cause he`s my true love
my only one don`t you see?



The Paris Match - (1984,The Style Council with Tracy Thorn)
===============

Empty hours
Spent combing the street
In daytime showers
They`ve become my beat;
As I walk from cafe to bar
I wish I knew where you are;
Because you`ve clouded my mind
And now I`m all out of time

Empty skies say try to forget
Better advice is to have no regrets;
As I tread the boulevard floor
Will I see once more;
Because you`ve clouded my mind
`Till then I`m biding my time

I`m only sad in a natural way
And I enjoy sometimes feeling this way
The gift you gave is desire
The match that started my fire

Empty nights with nothing to do
I sit and think, every thought is for you;
I get so restless and bored
So I go out once more;

I hate to feel so confined
I feel like I`m wasting my time

I`m only sad in a natural way
And I enjoy sometimes feeling this way
The gift you gave is desire
The match that started my fire

The match that started my fire.....

[Heizkessel]

NIE WIEDER KRIEG, NIE MEHR LAS VEGAS!

Ich bin heut` morgen im Rinnstein aufgewacht
splitternackt mit schwerem Schädel - was für eine Nacht!
Keinen Pfennig in der Tasche und kein Geld mehr auf der Bank
Hallo Leute: ich bin pleite, ich bin total blank
Alles verspielt, ich hab` alles verloren
aber jetzt ist Schluß damit, das hab ich mir geschwor`n:

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Nie wieder in die Spielothek
nie wieder Hütchenspiel, oh, das ganze Geld ist weg
Nie mehr Las Vegas und nie mehr Quartett
nie wieder Hütchenspiel - oder Russisches Roulette

Es fing alles ganz harmlos mit Monopoly an
ich war immer der Reichste, weil ich immerzu gewann
Später spielte ich dann Lotto, natürlich mit System
ich hatte oft 3 Richtige, das war ein schönes Leben
Oft saß ich am Roulettetisch, nächtelang
doch die verdammte Zockerei ist jetzt mein Untergang:

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Nie wieder in die Spielothek
nie wieder Hütchenspiel, oh, das ganze Geld ist weg
Alles durchgebracht, da haben wir den Salat
Nie wieder Hütchenspiel - und auch ganz bestimmt kein Skat!

Oh wie schade, oh, wie schade:
nur noch trocken Brot und keine Schokolade
Oh wie schade, ewig schade:
nur noch trocken Brot und keine Schokolade mehr -
das Leben ist nicht fair!

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Nie wieder in die Spielothek
nie wieder Hütchenspiel, oh, das ganze Geld ist weg
Nie mehr Malefiz und nie mehr Fang den Hut
Nie wieder Hütchenspiel - dann wird alles wieder gut!

[tomoffel]

fade into you (Mazzy Star)
=============


I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that`s true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth

You live your life
You go in shadows
You`ll come apart and you`ll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what`s not there.

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you

I think it`s strange you never knew
A stranger`s light comes on slowly
A stranger`s heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you

I think it`s strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew

Fade into you
I think it`s strange you never knew
I think it`s strange you never knew



dream a little dream of me (1968,Mamas And The Papas, 1931 Wayne King )
==========================


Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me

Just hold me tight and tell me you`ll miss me
While I`m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss

I`m longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
 


The Warmth Of The Sun (Beach Boys,1964)
===================


What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way For I have the warmth of the sun
Within me at night
The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
"I don`t feel the same way" Still I have the warmth of the sun
Within me tonight
I`ll dreams of her arms
And though they`re not real Just like she`s still there
The way that I feel
I loved like the warmth of the sun
It won`t ever die



Someone To Watch Over Me (Gershwin,Ira Gershwin 1926)
========================

There`s an old saying, says that love is blind
Still we`re often told, "Seek and ye shall find."
So I`m going to seek a certain lad
I`ve had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven`t found him yet.
He`s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

I`d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There`s a somebody I`m longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who`ll watch over me

I`m a little lamb who`s lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who`ll watch over me.

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key!

Won`t you tell him please to put on some speed?
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me!



the lady in the radiator song (1977,Peter Ivers/ERASERHEAD)
=============================


in heaven everything is fine
in heaven everything is fine
in heaven everything is fine

you got your good things
and i`ve got mine

in heaven everything is fine
in heaven everything is fine
in heaven everything is fine

you got your good things
and you`ve got mine

in heaven everything...is... fine



THIS SPORTING LIFE (Jimmy Page 1965)
==================

I`m getting tired of just hangin around
Am gonna find me a good girl and settle down
Cause this sporting life is gonna be the death of me

My baby left me, all of my own
Ain`t got no woman and ain`t got no home
And this sporting life, this night life, oh boy, its killing me
Yes it is, yes it is, i can`t take it anymore

There`s only one thing here left to say
I`ve gave all up, all my life away
And this sporting life, this night life, oh boy, its killing me
Finish them boy, don`t you know don`t you know

I`m getting tired of just hangin` around

Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is, yes it is
Yes it is, yes it is
I can`t take it anymore
please, oh come on, oh come on




MARCIA BAILA (1985, Les Rita Mitsouko)
============


Marcia elle danse
Sur du satin de la rayonne
Dur polystyrène expansé
A ses pieds
Marcia danse avec des jambes
Aiguisées comme des couperets
Deux flèches qui donnent des idées
Des sensations
Marcia elle est maigre
Belle en scène belle comme a la ville
La voir danser me transforme
En excitée
Moretto comme ta bouche
Est immense quand tu souris
Et quand tu ris je ris aussi
Tu aimes tellement la vie
Quel est donc ce froid
Que l`on sent en toi?
Mais c`est la mort
Qui t`a assassinée Marcia
C`est la mort
Tu t`es consumée Marcia
C`est le cancer
Que tu as pris sous ton bras
Maintenant tu es en cendres, cendres
La mort c`est comme une chose impossible
Et même à toi qui est forte comme une fusée
Et même à toi qui est la vie même Marcia
C`est la mort qui t`a emmenée
Marcia danse un peu chinois
La chaleur dans les mouvements d’épaules
A plat comme un hiéroglyphe inca
De l’opéra
Avec la tête
Elle danse aussi très bien
Et son visage
Danse avec tout le reste
Elle a cherché
Une nouvelle façon
Et l`a inventée
C`est elle la sauterelle
La sirène en mal d`amour
Le danseur dans la flanelle
Ou le carton
Moretto comme ta bouche
Est immense quand tu souris
Et quand tu ris je ris aussi
Tu aimes tellement la vie
Quel est donc ce froid
Que l`on sent en toi?
Mais c`est la mort
Qui t`a assassinée Marcia
C`est la mort
Tu t`es consumée Marcia
C`est le cancer
Que tu as pris sous ton bras
Maintenant tu es en cendres, cendres
La mort c`est comme une chose impossible pour toi
Qui est la vie même Marcia
Et même à toi
Qui est forte comme une fusée
C`est la mort qui t`a emmenée
Marcia Marcia Marcia Marcia Marcia



L`AVENTURIER (Indochine)
============


Egaré dans la vallée infernale
Le héros s`appelle Bob Morane
A la recherche de l`ombre jaune
Le bandit s`appelle Mr Kali-Jones
Avec l`ami Bill Ballantine
Sauvé de justesse des crocodiles
Stop au trafic des Caraïbes
Escale dans l`opération Nadawieb

Le cur tendre dans le lit de Miss Clark
Prisonnière du sultan de Jarawak
En pleine terreur à Manicouagan
Isolé dans la jungle birmane
Emprisonnant les flibustiers
L`ennemi est démasqué
On a volé le collier de Civa
Le maharaja en répondra

Et soudain surgit face au vent
Le vrai héros de tous les temps
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L`aventurier contre tout guerrier
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L`aventurier contre tout guerrier

Dérivant à bord du sampan
L`aventure au parfum d`Ylalang
Son surnom, Samouraï du soleil
En démantelant le gang de l`archipel
L`otage des guerriers du Doc Xathan
Il s`en sortira toujours à temps
Tel l`aventurier solitaire
Bob Morane est le roi de la terre

Et soudain surgit face au vent
Le vrai héros de tous les temps
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L`aventurier contre tout guerrier
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L`aventurier contre tout guerrier

Et soudain surgit face au vent
Le vrai héros de tous les temps
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L`aventurier contre tout guerrier
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L`aventurier contre tout guerrier


Route Nationale 7 (1981,Honeymoonkillers,1955 Trenet)
=================

De toutes les routes de France d`Europe
Celle que j`préfère ...est celle qui conduit
En auto ou en auto-stop
Vers les rivages du Midi

Na...tio...nale Sept
Il faut la prendre qu`on aille à Rome à Sète
Que l`on soit deux trois quatre cinq six ou sept
C`est une route qui fait recette

Route des vacances
Qui traverse la Bourgogne et la Provence
Qui fait d`Paris un p`tit faubourg d`Valence
Et la banlieue d`Saint-Paul de Vence

Le ciel d`été
Remplit nos cur de sa lucidité
Chasse les aigreurs et les acidités
Qui font l`malheur des grandes cités
Tout excitées

On chante, on fête
Les oliviers sont bleus ma p`tite Lisette
L`amour joyeux est là qui fait risette
On est heureux Nationale 7.



Since Yesterday (1984, Strawberry Switchblade)
===============


Just close your eyes and then remember
The thoughts you`ve locked away
When tomorrow comes you`ll wish
You had today
And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It`s so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday

If your`re still there when it`s all over
I`m scared I`ll have to say
That a part of you has gone
Since yesterday

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It`s so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday

laaa lalalaaa lalalaaa
lala la la la la
laaa lalalaaa lalalaaa
lala la la la la

Well, maybe this could be the ending
with nothing left of you
A hundred wishes couldn`t say
I don`t want to
And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It`s so clear that all we have now
Are thoughts of yesterday

laaa lalalaaa lalalaaa
lala la la la la
laaa lalalaaa lalalaaa
lala la la la la

You Never Can Tell (Chuck Berry)
==================


It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C`est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show younever can tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin` worked outwell
"C`est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show younever can tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C`est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show younever can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, `twas a cherry red `53,
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle
"C`est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show younever can tell

It had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C`est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show younever can tell


The Ballad Of Cable Hogue (Calexico)
=========================


I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run
got myself a little goldmine to bank on
but one day my heart sank when I saw Madam in town
I knew her love would be the death of mine

L`amour passait, l`amour obsolète.
Pourquoi perdre sa vie à chercher l`or d`un coeur?
Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique.
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars.

Do me a favor while I`m hanging here
Take this gold and go and hide

ne gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue

Don`t worry I`ll be free in no time.

She promised me she would be there when I`d return
she didn`t say she`d have an army there as well
she whispered, "J`taime Baby," as she fired that gun at me.

I should`ve stayed way out yonder
better off with the scorpions and snakes
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end
I`m a little late this time,
cause her love would be the death of mine,
mine, all mine


Things We Said Today (Lennon/McCartney)
====================


You say you will love me
If I have to go,
you`ll be thinking of me,
Somehow I will know.
Someday when I`m lonely,
Wishing you weren`t so far away,

Then I will remember
The things we said today.

You say you`ll be mine, girl,
`til the end of time.
These days such a kind girl
seems so hard to find.
Someday when we`re dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.

Then we will tremember
The things we said today.

Me, I`m just the lucky kind.
Love to hear you say that love is luck.
And, though we may be blind,
Love is here to stay. And that`s enough
to make you mine, girl,
Be the only one.
Love me all the time, girl.
We`ll go on and on.
Someday when we`re dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.

Then we will tremember
The things we said today.

Me, I`m just the lucky kind.
Love to hear you say that love is luck.
And, though we may be blind,
Love is here to stay. And that`s enough
To make you mine, girl,
Be the only one.
Love me all the time, girl.
We`ll go on and on.
Someday when we`re dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.

Then we will remember
The things we said today.

La Wally (Sarah Brightman/Alfredo Catalani)
========


Ebbene? ... N`andrò lontana,
come va l`eco della pia campana,
là, fra la neve bianca;
là, fra le nubi d`or;
là, dov`è la speranza, la speranza
il rimpianto, il rimpianto, e il dolor!
O della madre mia casa gioconda,
la Wally n`andra da te, da te lontana assai,
e forse a te, e forse a te,
non farà mai più ritorno,
nè più la rive drai!
mai più, mai più!
N`andrò sola e lontana,
come l`eco [è] della pia campana,
là, fra la neve bianca;
n`andrò, n`andrò sola e lontana!
e fra le nubi d`or!



Herr Rossi sucht das Glück (1960-1977,Franco Godi)
==========================


... denn Herr Rossi sucht das Glück.
Sucht man es, so fehlt ein Stück.
Ja, es fehlt ein Stück vom Glück.

Gestatten, Rossi ...

Ja, Herr Rossi hat ’nen Wunsch:
Eis vom Nordpol flambiert mit Punsch,
eine Schokoladenburg,
dreimal Kuchen, sechs Kaffee,
zwanzig Törtchen, dazu Tee.

Was noch, was noch, was noch?

Ja, Herr Rossi möcht’ noch mehr:
So ein Auto macht was her,
auch mal Sekt statt immer Milch,
mal wie ’n Reicher sich benehmen,
in der Spielbank Geld ausgeben.

Was noch, was noch, was noch?

Ja, Herr Rossi sucht das Glück.
Er will nur vom Glück ein Stück.

Andere können alles haben,
können sich an Feinstem laben.
Und von eben diesen Gaben
möcht’ Herr Rossi auch was haben.

Sonne, Sonne, Himmel, Sonne,
Wasser, Wasser, Strand und Sonne,
Berge, Berge, Echo, Echo,
Blumen, Blumen, zwanzig Blumen.

Ja, das wär’ Herr Rossis Glück.(Hahahaha...)
Das wär’ mehr als nur ein Stück,
doch ihm fehlt ein Stück vom Glück...

Something on my Mind (The Pale Fountains)
====================


Is there something I should say?
What am I to do?
Have I found a way?

And in the small hours when I rise
Honey hold me tight
And say it`s just a game

Is there something I should know?
Shall I stay here for a while
There`s always something on my mind

And as I look up to the sky
And I know down deep inside
There`s always something on my mind

Is there something I should say?
Try to find a way
Love me for one night
To look at me and then to sigh
I could run a mile
And turn round in a day

Shall I turn to you for gold?
Shall I look at you and sigh?
There`s always something on my mind

And when I`m happy can I smile
Just to know down deep inside
there`s always something on my mind
something on my mind...


Crazier (The Pale Fountains)
=======

Sundrenched girl
Crazier, but keeps me going
Makes me smile
Life like sand and so forgiving

What it means to me now
Sundrenched girl
What it means to me now
Sundrenched girl

Sundrenched girl
Fun`s the word and all for living
Tends to fly and sometimes
Sulks of love but knows I`m kidding

What it means to me now
Sundrenched girl
What it means to me now
Sundrenched girl

What it means to me now
Sundrenched girl
To me now
Sundrenched girl

Sundrenched girl
Crazier, but keeps me going
Makes me smile

Life like sand and so forgiving
Life like sand and so forgiving

Sleepwalk (Santo & Johnny, vocal version:1959,Betsy Brye)
=========


Sleepwalk
Instead of dreaming
I Sleepwalk
Cause i lost you
And now what am i to do
Can`t believe that we`re through

Sleeptalk
Cause i miss you
I sleeptalk
While the memory of you
Lingers like a song
Darling, i was so wrong

The night fills my lonely place
I see your face Spinning through my brain

I know, I want you so
I still love you
And it drives me insane

Sleepwalk
Every night I just sleepwalk
And when you come back and when you walk inside the door
I will sleepwalk no more



My Baby Just Cares for Me (1959,Nina Simone)
=========================


My baby don`t care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don`t care for cars and races
My baby don`t care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner`s smile
Is somethin` he can`t see
My baby don`t care who knows
My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby don`t care for shows
And he don`t even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don`t care
For cars and races
My baby don`t care for
He don`t care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace`s smile
Is something he can`t see
Is something he can`t see
I wonder what`s wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me


Danke Schoen (Wayne Newton)

Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen.
Thank you for all the joy and pain.
Picture shows, second balcony,
was the place we`d meet, second seat, go Dutch treat, you were sweet.

Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen.
Thank you for walks down lovers lane.
I can see, hearts carved on a tree,
letters inter-twined, for all time,
yours and mine, that was fine.

Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen.
Thank you for funny cards from Spain.
I recall, Central Park in fall,
how you tore your dress, what a mess, I confess, that`s not all.

Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen.
Thank you for seeing me again.
Though we go, on our seperate ways,
still the memory stays, for always, my heart says,
Danke Schoen.

Danke Schoen, Auf Wiedersehn, Danke Schoen.

*Prendila così* / Una Donna per amico (Lucio Battisti, Mogol)

Prendila così non possiamo farne un dramma
conoscevi già hai detto i problemi miei di donna
certo che lo so certo che lo so
non ti preoccupare tanto avrò da lavorare
forse è tardi e rincasare vuoi.
No che non vorrei io sto bene in questo posto
no che non vorrei questa sera è ancora presto
Ma che sciocca sei ma che sciocca sei
a parlar di rughe a parlar di vecchie streghe
meno bella certo non sarai
E siccome è facile incontrarsi anche in una grande città
e tu sai che io potrei purtroppo non esser più solo
cerca di evitale tutti i posti che frequento e che conosci anche
tu
nasce l`esigenza di sfuggirsi per non ferirsi di più
Lasciami giù qui è la solita prudenza
loro senza me mi hai detto è un problema di coscienza
certo che lo so certo che lo so
non ti preoccupare tanto avrò da lavorare
ora è tardi e rincasare vuoi
No che non vorrei io sto bene in questo posto
no che non vorrei dopo corro e faccio presto...
...meno bella certo non sarai.
E siccome è facile incontrarsi anche in una grande città
e tu sai che io potrei purtroppo anzi spero non esser più solo
cerca di evitale tutti i posti che frequento e che conosci anche tu
nasce l`esigenza di sfuggirsi per non ferirsi di più.


*Amarsi un po`* (Battisti-Mogol)

Amarsi un po` è come bere
più facile è respirare
Basta guardarsi e poi avvicinarsi un po`
e non lasciarsi mai impaurire no
Amarsi un po` è un po` fiorire
aiuta sai a non morire
Senza nascondersi manifestandosi
si può eludere la solitudine
però volersi bene no partecipare
è difficile quasi come volare
Ma quanti ostacoli e sofferenze e poi sconforti e lacrime
per diventare noi veramente noi uniti
indivisibili vicini ma irraggiungibili


*NYC Man* Lou Reed

It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart
If you accidently crush it on the ides of March
I`d prefer you were straight forward
You don`t have to go through all of that
I`m a New York city man, baby
Say "go" and that is that
It`s far too complicated to make up a lie
That you`d have to remember and really why
I would`t want to be around you
If you don`t want to have me around
I`m a M-A-N-N man
Slink your eyes and I`ll gone
Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed
Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain
Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play
But I`m no lear with blinded eyes
Say " go " and I am gone
The stars have shut their eyes up tight
The earth has changed it`s course
A Kingdom sits on a black knight`s back
As he tries to mount a white jeweled horse
While a clock full of butterflies on the hour
Releases a thousand moths
You say " leave" and I`ll be gone
Without any remorse
No letters faxes phones or tears
There`s a difference between
Bad and worse
New York city I love you
Blink your eyes and I`ll be gone
Just a little grain of sand


*Goldfinger*
- Artist: Shirley Bassey
- peak Billboard position # 8 in 1965

Goldfinger, he`s the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider`s touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don`t go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can`t disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he`s kissed her
It`s the kiss of death from Mister
Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can`t disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he`s kissed her
It`s the kiss of death from Mister
Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold

Kiss Them For Me (Siouxsie and the Banshees)
================



It glittered and it gleamed
for the arriving beauty queen
a ring and a car
now you`re the prettiest by far

No party she`d not attend
no invitation she wouldn`t send
transfixed by the inner sound
of your promise to be found

"Nothing or no-one will ever make me let you down"

Kiss them for me...I may be delayed
Kiss them for me...If I am delayed

It`s divoon, oh it`s serene
in the fountains pink champagne
someone carving their devotion
in the heart shaped pool of fame

"Nothing or no-one will ever make me let you down"

Kiss them for me...I may be delayed
Kiss them for me...I may find myself delayed

On the road to New Orleans
a spray of stars hit the screen
as the tenth impact shimmered
the forbidden candles beamed

Kiss them for me...I may be delayed
Kiss them for me...I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me...Kiss them for me
Kiss them for me...I may find myself delayed

It`s Not Unusual (1965 Tom Jones)
================



It`s not unusual to be loved by anyone
It`s not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It`s not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna` die

It`s not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it`s such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It`s not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can`t this crazy love be mine

It`s not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It`s not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you`ve changed at anytime
it`s not unusual to find out that I`m in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Stand By Your Man (Tammy Wynette)
==================



Sometimes it`s hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man

Oh, you have bad times, and you have good times
Doing things that you don`t understand
Hey, but if you love him, you`ll forgive him

Even though he`s hard to understand
And if you love him, be proud of him
`Cause after all, he`s just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And someone warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Let`s Stay Together (Al Green)
===================



I, I`m so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
`Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we`ve been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I`ll never be untrue

Let`s, let`s stay together
Lovin` you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can`t see
You`d never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here`s what I want us to do)

Let`s, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad


Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow (Dean Martin) 1959
===================================



Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we`ve no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Man, it doesn`t show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I`ll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I`ll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying
And my dear we`re still good-byeing
But as long as you`d love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, and snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I`ll hate going out in the storm
But if you really grab me tight
All the way home I`ll be warm

Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And my dear we`re still good-byeing
But as long as you`d love me so
Let it snow......let it snow.....let it snow


My Rifle, My Pony And Me (Dean Martin)
========================



The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in the nest
It`s time for a cowboy to dream...

Purple light...in the canyons
That`s where I... long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, pony and me

Gonna hang (gonna hang) my sombrero (my sombrero)
On the limb (on the limb) of a tree (of a tree)
Coming home (coming home) sweetheart darling (sweetheart darling)
Just my rifle, pony and me
Just my rifle, my pony and me...

Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just my rifle, pony and me

No more cows (no more cows) to be roping (to be roping)
No more strays (no more strays) will I see
Round the bend (round the bend) she`ll be waiting (she`ll be waiting)
For my rifle, pony and me

For my rifle...my pony...and me


appetite (prefab sprout)
========



please be careful, is never careful
till it hears the gun
she will always pay the bills
for the having big fun

he talks so well, what can you do,
it`s pretty plain he means it too
i don`t want to sell you lines,
i only mean to do you right
but i`m a simple slave of appetite,
i`m a poor slave of appetite

hunger howls, hungers red,
hungers stays till it`s fed
then it some h-h-how fades,
then it somehow leaves your sight
depending on it`s appetite,
depending on your appetite

so if you take - then put back good
if you steal - be robin hood
if your eyes are wanting all you see
then i think i`ll name you after me

so if you take - then put back good
if you steal - be robin hood
if your eyes are wanting all you see
then i think i`ll name you after me
i think i`ll call you appetite

here she is with two small problems
and the best part of the blame
wishing she could call him heartache
but it`s not a boy`s name

if you grow - up to be, just like him - just like me
you`re fighting for exclusive rights,
for honeymoons each sleepless night
in which case i`ll call you appetite
yes i think i`ll call you appetite

so if you take - then put back good
if you steal - be robin hood
if your eyes are wanting all you see
then i think i`ll name you after me
i think i`ll call you appetite

so if you take - then put back good
if you steal - be robin hood
if your eyes are wanting all you see
then i think i`ll name you after me
i think i`ll call you appetite

then i think i`ll name you after me
i think i`ll call you appetite

lonesome town (ricky nelson)
=============



there`s a place where lovers go
to cry their troubles away
and they call it lonesome town
where the broken heart stays

you can buy a dream or two
to last you all through the years
and the only price you pay
is a heart full of tears

going down to lonesome town
where the broken hearts stay
going down to lonesome town
to cry my troubles away

in the town of broken dreams
the streets are filled with regret
maybe down in lonesome town
i can learn to forget
maybe down in lonesome town
i can learn to forget




music to watch girls by (andy williams)
=======================



the boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
eye to eye - they solemnly convene to make the scene

which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town
up and down - and over and across, romance is boss

guys talk girl talk, it happens everywhere
eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin` care

it`s keepin` track of the fact, watching them watching back
that makes the world go `round
"what`s that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh
they`re making music to watch girls by

guys talk, girl talk, it happens everywhere
eyes watch, girls walk with tender lovin` care

it`s keepin` track of the fact watching them watching back
that makes the world go `round
"what`s that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh
they`re making music to watch girls by

the boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
la, la, la ,la......
