Die kleine Countryband
Die heute jeder kennt
Sie hats nicht immer leicht gehabt
Sie spielte schon in Hamburg
Als es noch keine Panik gab
Ein Jazzer sagt mal
Das ist mir zu banal
Das gibt doch keine Cowboys hier
Wir sind doch nicht im wilden Westen
Er hat sich schwer geirrt
Der wilde, wilde Westen
Fängt gleich hinter Hamburg an
In einem Studio in Maschen
Gleich bei der Autobahn
Hier hört man Geige, Banjo, Steelgituar
Hier sind sie gut gelaunt
Die Cowboys von der Waterkant
Mit ihrem Nashvillesound
Ob du aus Bayern kommst
Oder in Hamburg wohnst
Das ist doch so was egal
Solang du denkst du bist im Honkytonk
Und stehst in Bierlokal
Mit ein paar Cowboyboots und einem Fernwehblues
Und einem kleinen Knacks im Herz
Dein Kreislauf geht nach oben
Wenn du die Cowboys singen hörst
Der wilde, wilde Westen
Fängt gleich hinter Hamburg an
In einem Studio in Maschen
Gleich bei der Autobahn
Hier hört man Geige, Banjo, Steelgituar
Hier sind sie gut gelaunt
Die Cowboys von der Waterkant
Mit ihrem Nashvillesound
Der wilde, wilde Westen
Fängt gleich hinter Hamburg an
In einem Studio in Maschen
Gleich bei der Autobahn
Hier hört man Geige, Banjo, Steelgituar
Hier sind sie gut gelaunt
Die Cowboys von der Waterkant
Mit ihrem Nashvillesound
Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd meet shepherd
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate
It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear
You almost feel ashamed
That someone could be that important
That without them, you feel like nothing
No one will ever understand how much it hurts
You feel hopeless; like nothing can save you
And when it's over, and it's gone
You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back
So that you could have the good
Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love a life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Guesch Patti - L'Homme Au Tablier Vert/Fleurs Carnivores (1990)
Lyrics:
C'est l'homme au tablier vert
Bizarre mais si drôle
Il veut changer l'univers
Un nouveau controle
C'est l'homme au tablier vert
Jamais au dehors
Au fond d'une serre il s'en sert
Des fleurs carnivores
Au cœur de la rumeur
Personne n'en meurt - mais
Il voudrait un monde meilleur
Au cœur de la rumeur
Un vieux farceur - mais
Professeur un peu dictateur
Chez l'homme au tablier vert
A qui l'ecchymose
Nourrit ses machines de guerre
En voila la cause
Chez l'homme au tablier vert
Satisfait du sort
Que réservent tous les mystères
Des fleurs carnivores
Au cœur de la rumeur
Personne n'en meurt - mais
Il voudrait un monde meilleur
Au cœur de la rumeur
Un vieux farceur - mais
Professeur un peu dictateur
Au fond d'une serre il s'en sert
Des fleurs carnivores
Au cœur de la rumeur
Personne n'en meurt - mais
Il voudrait un monde meilleur
Au cœur de la rumeur
Un vieux farceur - mais
Professeur un peu dictateur
Moi j'adore qu'on me dévore...
C'est l'homme au tablier vert
Toujours en éveil
Gardant son jardin d'hiver
A nul autre pareil
C'est l'homme au tablier vert
Comme impérator
Il effectue un transfert
Des fleurs carnivores
Au cœur de la rumeur
Personne n'en meurt - mais
Il voudrait un monde meilleur
Au cœur de la rumeur
Un vieux farceur - mais
Professeur un peu dictateur
Au fond d'une serre il s'en sert
Des fleurs carnivores
Au cœur de la rumeur
Personne n'en meurt - mais
Il voudrait un monde meilleur
Au cœur de la rumeur
Un vieux farceur - mais
Professeur un peu dictateur
C'est l'homme au tablier vert
Ses machine de guerre
English translation:
It is the man with the green apron
Odd but so funny
He wants to change the universe
A new control
It is the man with the green apron
Never with the outside
At the bottom of a greenhouse he makes use of it
Flesh-eating plants
At the heart of the rumour
Nobody dies - but
He would like a better world
At the heart of the rumour
An old jokester - but
Professor a little dictator
At the man with the green apron
With which it bruise
Nourishes his machines of war
In veiled the cause
At the man with the green apron
Satisfied with the fate
Which holds all mysteries
Flesh-eating plants
At the heart of the rumour
Nobody dies - but
He would like a better world
At the heart of the rumour
An old jokester - but

Always in awakening
Keeping his wintergarden
With no one another similar
It is the man with the green apron
Like *impérator*
He carries out a transfer
Flesh-eating plants

Serge Devant was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, but grew up in the US. His music is stylistically diverse and transcends the boundaries of the genre, adding up to a hard-hitting, riveting but classically beautiful sound.
Not very long after his humble beginnings studying classical music in the former Soviet Union, Serge’s early electronic career is already marked with the achievements of a seasoned veteran.
Serge Devant’s first single 'Transparent' in 2005 is recorded with trance diva Jan Johnston. But his career progression took dizzy heights in 2008, when Coca-Cola has brought Serge on board with an exclusive track 'Peace on Earth' for the Olympics in Beijing and clothing maker Armani Exchange had invited him to represent the brand. Serge Devant hit the coveted DJ Mag Top 100 List and became the youngest resident DJ at New York’s legendary Crobar.
DJ Tiësto names him one of his top 5 favorite DJ’s. Tiësto and many of the worlds DJ elite personally request Serge to share the stage while Serge himself holds residencies in major U.S. cities and headlines globally. With Serge on stage, crowds witness a skillful exhibition from one of the most promising young talents in the industry today.
In 2009 he released his first album, entitled Wanderer, on which has worked with several vocalists, such as ex-iiO's Nadia Ali and Hadley Poole.
Here my favourite two tracks, but I can recommend the entire album!
Serge Devant feat. Hadley - Addicted (2009)
Serge Devant feat. Jaren - No Good (2009)
Serge Devant feat. Coyle Girelli - On Your Own (2012)
Look what popped up on my iPod shuffle today! Really must make more use of it - a real treasure. Tarkan's 'Touch' wasn't released as a standalone single, but may as well have been. Hüseyin Karadayı remixed it, which made it a popular tune for local clubs in Turkey, Germany and Austria. The original version I also included here has a - hmmm... how shall I put it... - rather saucy (but classy) video available on YouTube. I guess a quality tune warrants someone to put in the effort.

Lyrics:
When your heart dictates the moment
And the room feels like you own it
And all you see is for the asking
But just one look is all you're after
It opens a whole new world
It's not what you're saying
But it's everything you do
It drives me crazy
And it's all because of you
Slide over here
Skin against skin
Melt into me
Forget where you begin yeah
Cause everyone needs a touch
Everyone needs a touch
You're like a desert I'm like rain
I poor down you soak me in
It's amazing
It's just like a new horizon
Somehow you make me
Feel just like I'm flying
Slide over here
Skin against skin
Melt into me
Forget where you begin yeah
Cause everyone needs a touch
Cause everyone needs a touch
No matter who you are or where you're from
Somewhere down the road gonna need someone yeah
Cause everyone needs a touch
Everyone needs a touch
Wearing nothing but the summer breeze
Baby doing what comes naturally
Doing what comes naturally
Slide over here
Skin against skin
Melt into me
Forget where you begin yeah
Cause everyone needs a touch
Everyone needs a touch
Rosenstolz - Auch im Regen - Tom Novy Remix (2006)
DE#8, AT#35
Lyrics:
Wie kannst du dir so sicher sein?
Du bist doch viel zu wütend
Um irgendwas zu seh'n
Du schreibst dich selbst mal groß
Mal klein
Am Ende ist's verwirrend
Und sehr schwer zu versteh'n
Ich weiß nur, es wird regnen
Und hört so schnell nicht auf
Glaub mir, es wird kälter
Wann hört das wieder auf?
Ist da draußen kein Licht?
Wolken nehmen dir die Sicht
Auch im Regen
Auch im Regen
Siehst du mich
Wenn dein Boot untergeht
Und du gar nichts mehr verstehst
Auch im Regen
Selbst im Regen
Find' ich dich
Zersäg den Ast auf dem du sitzt
Spring ab, fang an zu laufen
Das kann ich für dich nicht
Lass von dir hör'n wenn's soweit ist
Du musst dich auch nicht ändern
Es ändert sich für dich
Ich weiß nur, es wird regnen
Und hört so schnell nicht auf
Glaub mir, es wird kälter
Wann hört das wieder auf?
Ist da draußen kein Licht?
Wolken nehmen dir die Sicht
Auch im Regen
Auch im Regen
Siehst du mich
Wenn dein Boot untergeht
Und du gar nichts mehr verstehst
Auch im Regen
Selbst im Regen
Find' ich dich
Bald siehst du Land
Halt bitte noch durch
Ich seh' ganz sicher dort hinten ein Licht
Schwimm um den Verstand
Gib jetzt noch nicht auf
Ich führ' dich aus diesem Irrgarten raus
Auch im Regen
Auch im Regen
Siehst du mich
Auch im Regen
Selbst im Regen
Find' ich dich
Auch im Regen
Auch im Regen
Siehst du mich
Auch im Regen
Selbst im Regen
Find' ich dich
Auch im Regen
Auch im Regen
Siehst du mich
Auch im Regen
Selbst im Regen
Find' ich dich
English translation:
Even in the Rain
How can you be so sure?
You are far too angry
To see anything
Sometimes you capitalize yourself
Sometimes you don't
In the end it's confusing
And very hard to understand
I only know that it will rain
And that it won't stop very quickly
Believe me, it will get colder
When will it stop again?
Isn't there a light out there?
Clouds block your view
In the rain as well
In the rain as well
You see me
When your boat sinks
And you don't understand anything anymore
In the rain as well
Even in the rain
I will find you
Saw up the branch that you sit on
Jump up, start running
I can't so that for you
Give me a sign when you are ready
You don't have to change, either
It will change for you
I only know that it will rain
And that it won't stop very quickly
Believe me, it will get colder
When will it stop again?
Isn't there a light out there?
Clouds block your view
In the rain as well
In the rain as well
You see me
When your boat sinks
And you don't understand anything anymore
In the rain as well
Even in the rain
I will find you
Soon you will see land
Please, hang on
I do see a light over there
Swim madly
Don't give up now
I will lead you out of this maze
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
You see me
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
I will find you
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
You see me
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
I will find you
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
You see me
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
I will find you
As I watch you move, across the moonlit room
There's so much tenderness in your loving
Tomorrow I must leave, the dawn knows no reprieve
God give me strength when I am leaving
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
As we move to embrace, tears run down your face
I whisper words of love, so softly
I can't believe this pain, it's driving me insane
Without your touch, life will be lonely
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
Morning has come,
I must pack my bags and say goodbye,
Goodbye
Suicide blonde, suicide blonde
Suicide blonde, suicide blonde
Suicide blonde was the colour of her hair
Like a cheap distraction
For a new affair
She knew it would finish
Before it began
Something tells me you lost the plan
You want to make her
Suicide Blonde
Love devastation
Suicide Blonde
You want to make her
Suicide Blonde
Love devastation
Suicide Blonde
She stripped to the beat
But her clothes stay on
White light everywhere
But you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze
A mad, sad moment
Glory to you, glory to you, take me there
Got some revelation put into your hands
Save you from your misery
Like rain across the land
Don't you see
The colour of deception
Turning your world around again
You want to make her
Suicide Blonde
Love devastation
Suicide Blonde
You want to make her
Suicide Blonde
Love devastation
Suicide Blonde
Howard Jones - What is Love? (1983)
UK#2, DE#6, IT#17, AUS#31, US#33
Lyrics:
I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think that i don't
Sometimes i find you doubt my love for you, but i don't mind
Why should i mind, why should i mind
What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway
Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Never worry never be sad
The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
This is why i don't mind you doubting
And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked
To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting
Randy Crawford & The Crusaders - Street Life (1979)
UK#5, SWE#8, NL#13
Lyrics:
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
You never people see
Just do you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
A temptin' masquerade
You dress you walk you talk
You're who you think you are
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel, for a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon
Street life, street life, street life, oh street life
Hmm, Yeah, oh
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
There's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
Oh !
Street life, street life, street life, oh street life...
Born 1970 in Istanbul, Serdar Ortaç today is one of the most popular and successful artists of the Turkish pop scene. While many younger singers enjoyed the support of the more established stars in the country's entertainment industry, such as Sezen Aksu, Serdar was left to fight for himself - and made it to the top. Having received the KRAL (Turkey's answer to MTV) Award for male breakthrough artist in 1994 for his debut album Aşk İçin, which sold over 2 million copies in the Turkish language region, it wasn't until 2006 that I heard of him after getting to know my husband Mehmet and Gee, whom introduced me to a Turkish/Greek/Arabian Club Night 'Yalla' in London's Green Lanes.
Dansöz was one of the first Turkish tracks I grew fond of. It tells - of course - a story of love and a broken heart, rebound and that that there are 'so many fish in the sea', except that that is expressed as 'there are so many dancers (dansöz)'
Serdar Ortaç - Dansöz (2006)
Lyrics:
İtiraf ediyorum sana itiraf.
Başladı yaralı aşklara tadilat
Masumum, dışarıdan daha masumum,
Maalesef, bunun için sana mecburum.
Yüksek uçan kuşun, yüreği sarhoşun.
Acı çeker gibi, kölesi olmuşum.
Kavga edenlere, bana küsenlere.
Yüreği çark edip, geri dönenlere.
Affet diyen kim? Ez geç diyen kim?
Aşktan çeken kim? Benim kadar...
Ölene kadar aşık olamazsın
Birisi çıkar onu anlayamazsın
Sen o tür oyunlara katlanamazsın
Senin bir kalbin var...
Hadi diyelim biri çok deli sevdi
Senin için her şeyi her şeyi verdi
Ya bir gün olur sana bel kıvırırsa?
Binlerce dansöz var...

I am confessing to you, confessing
Love has undergone a horrible transformation
I'm innocent, more innocent than a bystander
But I am afraid for this I need you
To the heart of the high flying bird
To love drunk heart sickness
It seems I've become a slave
To the instigators, those pissed at me
Those who change their mind and come back
Who's gonna say sorry? gonna say love em n' leave em?
Who's suffered the pangs of love? More than me...
You can't die for love
One will come along that you won't understand
You can't play that kind of game
You have a heart, heart, heart
Alright, let's say she's a bit head over heals
For you she'll give everything, everything
Oh one day she might even shake those hips for you
There are thousands of belly dancers...

Lyrics:
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?
I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don't know life so far away
But I know that its just a trip
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I'Ve build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don’t wanna run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
Posted this to my blog on 1st Jan 2012, remembering her song for the 1988 Olympics in LA, in anticipation of what this year would bring for London. Little did we know that 2012 would also be the year of tragic events for herself. Farewell Whitney. Farewell.

Lyrics:
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

A recordacao vai estar com ele aonde for
a recordacao vai estar pra sempre aonde for
danca sol e mar, guardare no olmar

lambando estarei ao lembrar que esta amor
por um dia um istante foi rei
A recordacao vai estar com ele aonde for
a recordacao vai estar pra sempre aonde zu for
chorando estara ao lembrar de um amor
que um dia nao soube cuidar
cancao riso e dor, melodia de un amor
un momento que fica nu are
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own…
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own…
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
...and being close to you
...and being close to you.
Lady hear me tonight
Coz' my feeling is just so right

Meja - All 'bout the Money (1998)

Lyrics:
Sometimes,
I find another world inside my mind.
When I realize the crazy things we do.
It makes me feel ashamed to be alive.
It makes me want to run away and hide.
Its all about the money,
its all about the dum dum duh dee dum dum.
I don't think its funny.
To see us fade away.
Its all about the money,
its all about the dum dum duh dee dum dum.
and I think we got it all wrong anyway.
We find strange ways,
of showing them how much we really care.
When in fact we don't seem to care at all.
This pretty world is gettin out of hand.
So tell me how we failed to understand.
Its all about the money,
its all about the dum dum duh dee dum dum.
I don't think its funny.
to see us fade away.
Its all about the money,
its all about the dum dum duh dee dum dum.
and I think we got it all wrong anyway.
İyi ki varsın,
İyi ki sevmişim seni
Hem aldın, hem çaldın
Helal sana
Yok istemem diyen gönlüm
Çöle bile razı şimdi
Yanlış yola giden bendim
Lütfen dön gel
Ben yazdım kadere hüznü perişanı
Sonu gelmez yine de bitemez ümitler
Ama yoksa bahçemin eski şanı
Sebebi koparılan çiçekler
English translation:
I'm glad you exist,
I'm glad I fell in love with you
You have both taken and stolen (my heart)
Good for you!
My heart, which didnt want before,
Would even be pleased with desert now
I was the one who took the wrong path
Please come back
I'm the one who wrote sorrows and misery in (my) destiny,
Which are endless, but still I cant be hopeless.
But if my garden isnt as glorious as it used to be,
It's because of the flowers been plucked.
Beautiful sunrise in your eyes
Burning like a flame
Beautiful colors inside me
Calling out your name
You came down on me like summer rain
Wearing nothing but you love
I can't explain the shivers I get when you call my name
Painting rainbows on my soul
Beautiful sunrise in your eyes
Burning like a flame
Beautiful colors inside me
Calling out your name
Beautiful sunrise in your eyes
Burning like a flame
Beautiful colors inside me
Calling out your name
She is blown me away like an ocean storm
And she moved her lips and says:"Don't be afraid"
Here I am lost in your eyes to be found again
Cause you've changed my life today
Beautiful sunrise in your eyes
Burning like a flame
Beautiful colors inside me
Calling out your name

Another divine moment in British concert history: Robbie Williams live at Knebworth in the summer of 2003. Robbie hosted three consecutive evenings, which attracted the largest UK gig audience to date: a jaw-dropping 375,000! Memorable for many is Robbie's rather emotional moment at the end of 'Feel'. The DVD recording which saw subsequent release is a mix of the arguably best moments over the series of nights. Amongst other places, the DVD is available at places below. Worth every penny - money well spent!

A totally brilliant concert last year was Adele's performance at the Royal Albert Hall. And here it is, the all 1 hour and 28 minutes of it. The syncronisation between tone and picture is a bit off, but then you can always buy the DVD - it's totally worth it, and below are places where you can obtain and purchase a copy! :-)

Giant Jr. & Eartha Kitt - I Want To Be Evil (2011)
Lyrics:
I've posed for pictures with Iv'ry Soap
I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender
I've been made Miss Reingold, though I never touch beer
And I'm the person to whom they say, "You're sweet, my dear"
The only etchings I've seen, have been behind glass
And the closest I've been to a bar, was at ballet class
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been kissed
Well, I'm tired of being pure and not chased
Like something that seeks its level
I wanna go to the devil
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies
I want to wake up in the morning
With that dark brown taste
I wanna see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more than that, I wanna be bad
I wanna be evil and trump an ace
Just to see my partner's face
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
And in the theatre
I want to change my seat
Just so I can step on everybody's feet
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose
I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be
In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn't
It was different in many ways, as so were those that did the fighting
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam he was 19
In Vietnam he was 19
The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles west of Saigon
I really wasn't sure what was going on
Ni-ni-ni 19, 19, ni-19 19
19, 19, 19, 19
In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served
A twelve month tour of duty
But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday
Ni-ni-ni 19, Ni-ni-ni 19
Hundreds of thousands of men who saw heavy combat
In Vietnam were arrested since discharge
Their arrest rate is almost twice that of non-veterans of the same age
There are no accurate figures of how many of these men
Have been incarcerated
But a Veterans Administration study
Concludes that the greater of vets
Exposure to combat could more likely affect his chances
Of being arrested or convicted
This is one legacy of the Vietnam War
All those who remember the war
They won't forget what they've seen
Destruction of men in their prime
Whose average was 19
De-de-destruction
De-de-destruction
War, war
De-de-destruction, wa, wa, war, wa, war, war
De-de-destruction
War, war
After World War II the men came home together on troop ships
But the Vietnam vet often arrived home within 48 hours of jungle combat
Perhaps the most dramatic difference between
World War II and Vietnam was coming home
None of them received a hero's welcome
None of them received a heroes welcome, none of them, none of them
Ne-ne-ne, ne-ne-ne, none of them, none of them, none of them
None of them received a hero's welcome
None of them received a hero's welcome
According to a Veteran's Administration study
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what
Psychiatrists call
Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder
Many vets complain of alienation, rage or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to ten years after coming home
Almost eight hundred thousand men are still fighting the Vietnam War
When we came back it was different, everybody wants to know
"How'd it happened to those guys over there"
There's gotta be something wrong somewhere
We did what we had to do
There's gotta be something wrong somewhere
People wanted us to be ashamed of what it made us
Dad had no idea what he went to fight and he is now
All we want to do is come home
All we want to do is come home
What did we do it for?
All we want to do is come home
Was it worth it

English Version:
Lyrics:
Mädchen, habt Ihr schon mal nachgedacht,
Was passiert, wenn Ihr 'nen Jungen anlacht,
Wie er den Tag und die folgende Nacht
Tausend Gedanken sich macht:
War das nur ein Versehen oder meint sie mich?
Ist es ehrlich oder nicht?
Oder bin ich nur der fünfte Typ,
Den sie anlügt?
(Wenn er Dich dort sieht mit Deinen Freundinnen stehen,
Und alle reden und zu ihm sehen,
Er würde gern die Worte verstehen,
Meint Ihr ihn oder wen?)
Mädchen, denkt einmal nach, was Ihr wollt und wie sehr,
Wenn Ihr uns nicht sagt, was Ihr fühlt, wird es schwer.
Wir wollen doch zusammen mit Euch glücklich sein.
Sollen wir Freunde sein oder wird es mehr?
Boys - now I'm talking about
Boys - 'cause you don't know about
Boys - with your love we are happy
Boys - oh, I like being one of them
Boys - now I'm talking about
Boys - oh, the hyped up and psyched up
Boys - always thinking about lovely.
Boys
Es ist soweit, Ihr habt die Zeit und Ihr seid zu zweit,
Die Eltern sind weg und weit und breit
Niemand in Sicht, der Euch stört, zuhört, abtörnt,
Trotzdem weiss er nicht, wie verhalt ich mich?
Er denkt: Sicherlich erst mal das Licht gedämmt und dann
Wie fängt man's an, wie geht man ran?
Habt Ihr schon mal dran gedacht, welche Angst er hat,
Welche Sorgen er sich macht, dass es nicht klappt?
Soll er Dich küssen und Dir langsam Dein T-Shirt ausziehen,
Oder wär' das der Grund für Dich nach Haus zu gehen?
Er denkt, vielleicht ist er nur Dein Teddy, Deine Puppe,
Du hast nur Deinen Spass und er ist Dir wirklich schnuppe.
Mädchen, denkt bei einem Jungen daran:
Es gibt viele Dinge, die er nicht wissen kann.
Also nimm ihm die Angst, dass er versagt,
Und sag ihm, was Du willst, was Du brauchst, was Du magst.
Boys - now I'm talking about
Boys - 'cause you don't know about
Boys - with your love we are happy
Boys - oh, I like being one of them
Boys - now I'm talking about
Boys - oh, the hyped up and psyched up
Boys - always thinking about lovely.
Boys
Mädchen, Ihr müsst auch einfach mal verstehen,
Dass wir auch vor dem Spiegel stehen
Und wissen wollen, bevor wir ausgehen,
Ob wir gut aussehen.
Und dann, sind wir zu zweit einmal ganz allein,
Wollen wir das Beste vom Besten sein,
Doch wenn Ihr uns Euren Wunsch nicht sagt,
Dann wird es hart.
Mädchen, denkt einmal nach, was Ihr wollt und wie sehr,
Wenn Ihr uns nicht sagt, was Ihr fühlt, wird es schwer.
Wir wollen doch zusammen mit Euch glücklich sein.
Sollen wir Freunde sein oder wird es mehr?
Boys - now I'm talking about
Boys - 'cause you don't know about
Boys - with your love we are happy
Boys - oh, I like being one of them

English translation:
Hey girls, have you ever thought about
About all of those little doubts
That keep comin’ up in a boy’s mind
When you just smile
Cause baby, how should he know what you really feel
If that look was fake or real
Or if he’s the 5th or 6th guy
To whom your smile
Baby, think about the way that you treat a boy
Cause no one likes to be treated like a toy
If you’d really like him spend the night
Then baby, go and tell me right
Boys
‘cause now I’m talking about
Boys
you don’t know about
Boys
with your love we are happy
Boys
oh, I like being one of them
Boys
‘cause now I’m talking about
Boys
oh, the hyped up and psyched up
Boys
always thinking about lovely
Boys
And now I’m thinking that the time is right for a hot night
To make you hold me tight and make you feel right
And if there’s something that you want that I got
You can have it all night, non-stop
I wanna treat you right and take you higher and higher
I wanna hold you tight and make you hot like fire
I wanna stay all night, I wanna quench your desire
Was something I forgot? I think not!
But girl now, hey, how should I know what you’d say
If I’d ask you to play for a night and a day
Would you say, hey baby, I’d like you to stay
Or would you say, no, no, no, no way
Girls, if you want us to stay, you gotta say so
And if you want us to leave, you gotta say no
Is it a friendship or the real deal?
Girls tell us what you want, what you need, what you feel!
Boys
‘cause now I’m talking about
Boys
you don’t know about
Boys
with your love we are happy
Boys
oh, I like being one of them

Hey girls, if you like a boy, then you know
That’s alright to make a show
You can play little hard to get
Just to make him sweat
But baby, if you keep him waiting too long
Then one day, he might be gone
So just tell him what is right
And what you like
Baby, think about the way that you treat a boy
Cause no one likes to be treated like a toy
If you’d really like him to spend the night
Then baby, go and tell him right
Boys
‘cause now I’m talking about
Boys
you don’t know about

Das Schicksal hat mich angelacht
und mir ein Geschenk gemacht
Warf mich auf einen warmen Stern
Der Haut so nah dem Auge fern
Ich nehm mein Schicksal in die Hand
Mein Verlangen ist bemannt
Wo das süße Wasser stirbt
weil es sich im Salz verdirbt
trag ich den kleinen Prinz im Sinn
Ein König ohne Königin
Wenn sich an mir ein Weib verirrt
dann ist die helle Welt verwirrt
Mann gegen Mann
Meine Haut gehört den Herren
Mann gegen Mann
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern
Mann gegen Mann
Ich bin der Diener zweier Herren
Mann gegen Mann
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern
Ich bin die Ecke aller Räume
Ich bin der Schatten aller Bäume
In meiner Kette fehlt kein Glied
wenn die Lust von hinten zieht
Mein Geschlecht schimpft mich Verräter
Ich bin der Alptraum aller Väter
Mann gegen Mann
Meine Haut gehört den Herren
Mann gegen Mann
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern
Mann gegen Mann
Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen
Mann gegen Mann
Kalte Zungen die da schlagen
Schwule
Mich interessiert kein Gleichgewicht
Mir scheint die Sonne ins Gesicht
Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen
Kalte Zungen die da schlagen
Schwule
Mann gegen Mann
English translation:
Destiny has smiled on me
and given me a present
Thrown me on a warm star
The skin so near, the eye so far away
I'm taking my destiny in my hand
My desire is manned
Where the fresh water dies
because it's debased into salt
I bear the little prince in mind
A king without a queen
If a woman strays with me
then the bright world is confused
Man against man
My skin belongs to the masters
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together
I'm the servant of two masters
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together
I am the corner of all rooms
I am the shadow of all trees
There's no link missing from my chain
when lust lures from behind
My sex calls me a traitor
I'm the nightmare of all fathers
Man against man
My skin belongs to the masters
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together
Man against man
Yet some days my heart freezes
Man against man
Cold tongues lash
Gays
I'm not interested in a sense of balance
The sun's shining in my face
Yet some days my heart freezes
Cold tongues lash
Be honest: who didn't fancy Chris Isaak back in his heyday? Phwoar! What a hunk he was. Born 26 June 1956 in Stockton, California, his music reflects the flavour of music at the time of his birth. He signed a record deal in 1984 for his album Silvertone. If not in 1987, with his international debut Blue Hotel, it was surely three years later, in 1990, when millions of hearts melted: Chris Isaak released his track 'Wicked Game', the video for which largely contributed to his popularity: his record company hired Helena Christensen, supermodel at the time. The 'love story' that unfolded on screen would become somewhat of a legend: apparently Chris fell in love with Helena, only to be re-buffed by her for lack of food and the chilling winds as the recording was made.

Lyrics:
Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway,
Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way.
Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway,
Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way.
I wait alone each lonely night.
Blue Hotel... Blue Hotel...
Blue Hotel, every room is lonely,
Blue Hotel, I was waiting only.
The night is like her lonely dream.
Blue Hotel... Blue Hotel...
Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway,
Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way.
I wait alone each lonely night.
Blue Hotel... Blue Hotel...

Lyrics:
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
No, I don't want to fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
With you, With you
What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
And I don't want to fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't wanna fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
With you, With you
