Horse With No Name (America)
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot, and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
Refrain
I’ve been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
‚Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
La la la la….
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
Refrain
After nine days, I let the horse run free
‚Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it’s life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
Refrain
Just The Way You Are (Billy Joel)
Don’t go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore
I wouldn’t leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are
Don’t go trying some new fashion
Don’t change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
That will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
Solo
I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel)
Refrain:
And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files
We’d like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
Refrain:
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It’s a little secret, just the Robinson’s affair
Most of all, you’ve got to hide it from the kids
Refrain:
Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know…
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you’ve got to choose
Every way you look at this, you lose
Refrain
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Woo, woo, woo
What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
Joltin‘ Joe has left and gone away
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (Bob Dylan)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Mama take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s getting dark, too dark to see
I feel I’m knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin‘ down
I feel I’m knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
One (U2)
Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say, one love, one life
When it’s one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don’t care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it’s too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We’re one but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One!
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much? More than a lot
You gave me nothin‘ now it’s all I got
We’re one but we’re not the same
Well we hurt each other then we do it again
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holdin‘ on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life, with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
One
Wonderwall (Oasis)
Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how
Refrain:
Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You’re my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day but they’ll never throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow realized what you’re not to do
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how
Refrain:
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You’re gonna be the one that saves me? (That saves me)
You’re gonna be the one that saves me? (That saves me)
You’re gonna be the one that saves me? (That saves me)
Breakfast In America (Supertramp)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I’ve never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I’m hopin‘, it’s going to come true
But there’s not a lot, I can do
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have ‚em in Texas
‚Cos everyone’s a millionaire
I‚m a winner, I’m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I’m a loser, what a joker
I’m playing my jokes upon you
While there’s nothin‘ better to do
Hey, dadada…..
Don’t you look at my girlfriend (Girlfriend)
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend (Girlfriend)
I’ve never seem to get a lot (What she got in another land)
Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I’m hoping it’s going to come true
But there’s not a lot I can do
Hungry Heart (Bruce Springsteen)
Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don’t know where it’s flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Refrain:
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody’s got a h-h-hungry heart
Oh
I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love, I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again
Refrain:
La-la-la-la-la-la, oh yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la
Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don’t make no difference what nobody says
Ain’t nobody like to be alone
Refrain:
Oh yeah
(Everybody’s got a hungry heart)
(Lay down your money and you play your part)
Oh yeah
(Everybody’s got a hungry heart)
La-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la
Hymn (Barclay James Harvest)
Valley’s deep and the mountain’s so high
If you want to see God you’ve got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don’t try to fly you know you might not come down
Don’t try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
The people said it was a virgin birth
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the savior of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the savior of us all
And said he was the savior of us all
For this we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God, alone we fly
Valley’s deep and the mountain’s so high
If you want to see God you’ve got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don’t try to fly you know you might not come down
Don’t try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
Valley’s deep and the mountain’s so high
If you want to see God you’ve got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don’t try to fly you know you might not come down
Don’t try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash)
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
||:I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire:||
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
So Long, Marianne (Leonard Cohen)
Come over to the window, my little darling
I′d like to try to read your palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home
Refrain
Now so long, Marianne
It′s time that we began
To laugh and cry
And cry and laugh about it all again
Well, you know that I love to live with you
But you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray for the angels
And then the angels forget to pray for us
Refrain
We met when we were almost young
Deep in the green lilac park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
As we went kneeling through the dark
Refrain
Your letters, they all say that you’re beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
I′m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone
Refrain
For now, I need your hidden love‘
I’m cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave
Refrain
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
I see you’ve gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain
Refrain
Angels (Robbie Williams)
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we’re grey and old
‚Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
Refrain
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
When I’m feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
Refrain
Solo

We Will Rock You (Queen)
Buddy, you’re a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place, singin‘
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
Buddy, you’re a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place
We will, we will rock you, sing it
We will, we will rock you
Buddy, you’re an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes,
Gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
We will, we will rock you, sing it
We will, we will rock you, everybody
We will, we will rock you, hmm
We will, we will rock you
We Are The Champions (Queen)
I’ve paid my dues
Time after time
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I’ve come through
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‚Cause we are the champions of the World
I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it’s been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruiseI
consider it a challenge before the human race
And I ain’t gonna lose
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‚Cause we are the champions of the World
Mit 18 (Marius Müller-Westernhagen)
Ich hab ’n Luxus-Auto
Und ich hab ’ne teure Wohnung
(Doch was mir fehlt, doch was mir fehlt)
Das ist ’ne richtige Dröhnung
Hey, mit 18 rannt ich in Düsseldorf rum
War Sänger in ’ner Rock and Roll Band
Meine Mutter nahm mir das immer krumm
Ich sollt was seriöses werden
Wir verdienten vierhundert Mark pro Auftritt
Für ’ne Rolling Stones Kopie
Die Gitarren verstimmt und es ging tierisch los
Und wir hielten uns für Genies
Refrain:
Ich möcht zurück auf die Straße
Möcht wieder singen, nicht schön, sondern geil und laut
Gold find‘ man bekanntlich im Dreck
Und Straßen sind aus Dreck gebaut
Ja, nach jedem Gig zum Hühner-Hugo
Dort verfraßen wir unser Geld
Was soll man schon machen mit den paar Mark
Ich hab ’nen Verstärker bestellt, ja ja
Refrain
An Mädchen hat es uns nie gemangelt
Auch ohne dickes Konto
Wir kratzten den letzten Dope zusammen
Dann flogen wir ab nach… wohin du willst
Refrain
Jetzt sitz ich hier, bin etabliert
Und schreib auf teurem Papier
Ein Lied über meine Vergangenheit
Damit ich den Frust verlier
Refrain
Du-du-duhh, du-du-duhh, du-du-du-dduh, du-du-du-dduh
Du-du-duhh, du-du-duhh, du-du-du-dduh, du-du-du-dduh (yeah)
Wenn der Sommer nicht mehr weit ist (Konstantin Wecker)
Wenn der Sommer nicht mehr weit ist
und der Himmel violett,
weiß ich, dass das meine Zeit ist,
weil die Welt dann wieder breit ist,
satt und ungeheuer fett.
Wenn der Sommer nicht mehr weit ist
und die Luft nach Erde schmeckt,
ist’s egal, ob man gescheit ist,
wichtig ist, dass man bereit ist
und sein Fleisch nicht mehr versteckt.
Und dann will ich, was ich tun will, endlich tun.
An Genuss bekommt man nämlich nie zu viel.
Nur man darf nicht träge sein und darf nicht ruhn,
denn Genießen war noch nie ein leichtes Spíel.
Wenn der Sommer nicht mehr weit ist
und der Himmel ein Opal,
weiß ich, dass das meine Zeit ist,
weil die Welt dann wie ein Weib ist
und die Lust schmeckt nicht mehr schal.
Wenn mein Ende nicht mehr weit ist,
ist der Anfang schon gemacht.
Weil’s dann keine Kleinigkeit ist,
ob die Zeit verta’ne Zeit ist,
die man mit sich zugebracht.
Und dann will ich was ich tun will, endlich tun.
An Genuss bekommt man nämlich nie zu viel.
Nur, man darf nicht träge sein und darf nicht ruh’n,
denn Genießen war noch nie ein leichtes Spiel.
Über den Wolken (Reinhard Mey)
Wind Nord-Ost, Startbahn null-drei
Bis hier hör ich die Motoren
Wie ein Pfeil zieht sie vorbei
Und es dröhnt in meinen Ohren
Und der nasse Asphalt bebt
Wie ein Schleier staubt der Regen
Bis sie abhebt und sie schwebt
Der Sonne entgegen
Refrain:
Über den Wolken
Muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein
Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen
Sagt man
Blieben darunter verborgen
Und dann
Würde was uns groß und wichtig erscheint
Plötzlich nichtig und klein
Ich seh ihr noch lange nach
Die dunklen Wolken erklimmen
Bis die Lichter nach und nach
Ganz im Regengrau verschwimmen
Meine Augen haben schon
Jenen winz′gen Punkt verloren
Nur von fern klingt monoton
Das Summen der Motoren
Refrain:
Dann ist alles still, ich geh
Regen durchdringt meine Jacke
Irgendjemand kocht Kaffee
In der Luftaufsichtsbaracke
In den Pfützen schwimmt Benzin
Schillernd wie ein Regenbogen
Wolken spiegeln sich darin
Ich wär gern mitgeflogen
Refrain:
Hot Summer Night (You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth) (Meatloaf)
It was a hot summer night
And the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
When I listen to your heart
I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there’s not another moment
Not another moment, not another moment to waste
You hold me so close that my knees grow weak
But my soul is flying high above the ground
I’m trying to speak, but no matter what I do
I just can’t seem to make any sound
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh-it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)
Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I′m beginning to grin
Oh, we’re finally alone and we can do what we want to
Oh, the night is young, ain′t no one gonna know where
No one gonna know where
No one’s gonna know where you′ve been
Oh, you were licking your lips and your lipstick’s shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
Oh, we were lying together in a silver lining
By the the light of the moon
You know there′s not another moment to waste
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me
You’ve Got A Friend (Carole King)
When you’re down in troubles
And you need some love and care
And nothing, oh nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
Refrain
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I will be there
Yes I will
(You’ve got a friend)
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you’ll hear me knocking at your door
Refrain
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don’t you let them
Refrain
||:You’ve got a friend:|| 4x
||:Ain’t it good to know:|| 3x
You’ve got a friend
Ein ehrenwehrtes Haus (Udo Jürgens)
In diesem Mietshaus wohnen wir seit einem Jahr und sind hier wohlbekannt
Doch stell dir vor, was ich soeben unter uns’rer Haustür fand
Es ist ein Brief von unsern Nachbarn, darin steht, wir müssen raus!
Sie meinen du und ich wir passen nicht, in dieses ehrenwerte Haus
Weil wir als Paar zusammen leben und noch immer ohne Trauschein sind
Hat man sich gestern hier getroffen und dann hat man abgestimmt
Und die Gemeinschaft aller Mieter schreibt uns nun: „Zieh’n Sie hier aus!“ (hey, hey, hey)
Denn eine wilde Ehe, das passt nicht in dieses ehrenwerte Haus
Es haben alle unterschrieben; schau dir mal die lange Liste an:
Die Frau von nebenan, die ihre Lügen nie für sich behalten kann
Und die vom Erdgeschoß, täglich spioniert sie jeden aus
Auch dieser Kerl, der seine Tochter schlägt, spricht für dies‘ ehrenwerte Haus
Und dann die Dicke, die den Hund verwöhnt, jedoch ihr eignes Kind vergißt
Der Alte, der uns stets erklärt, was hier im Haus verboten ist
Und der vom ersten Stock, er schaut die ganze Zeit zum Fenster raus (hey, hey, hey)
und er zeigt jeden an, der mal falsch parkt, vor diesem ehrenwerten Haus
Der graue Don Juan, der starrt dich jedesmal im Aufzug schamlos an
Die Witwe, die verhindert hat, dass hier ein Schwarzer einziehn kann
Auch die von oben, wenn der Gasmann kommt, zieht sie den Schlafrock aus
Sie alle schämen sich für uns, denn dies ist ja ein ehrenwertes Haus
Wenn du mich fragst, diese HeucheleI halt‘ ich nicht länger aus
Wir packen uns’re sieben Sachen und zieh’n fort
aus diesem ehrenwerten Haus!
Jraaduss (BAP)

Hey Jude (The Beatles)
Hey Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don’t be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Hey Jude, don’t let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You’re waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey Jude, you’ll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah yeah
Hey Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you’ll begin to make it better
Better – better – better – better – better – woah!
Na na na na-na-na-naa
Na-na-na-naa, hey, Jude
Na na na na-na-na-naa

Gute Nacht Freunde (Reinhard Mey)
Refrain:
Gute Nacht Freunde
Es wird Zeit für mich zu gehen
Was ich noch zu sagen hätte
Dauert eine Zigarette
Und ein letztes Glas im Stehen
Für den Tag, für die Nacht unter eurem Dach habt Dank
Für den Platz an eurem Tisch, für jedes Glas, das ich trank
Für den Teller, den ihr mir zu den euren stellt
Als sei selbstverständlicher nichts auf der Welt
Refrain
Habt Dank für die Zeit, die ich mit euch verplaudert hab
Und für eure Geduld, wenn’s mehr als eine Meinung gab
Dafür, dass ihr nie fragt, wann ich komm oder geh
Für die stets offene Tür, in der ich jetzt steh
Refrain
Für die Freiheit, die als steter Gast bei euch wohnt
Habt Dank, dass ihr nie fragt, was es bringt, ob es lohnt
Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass man von draußen meint
Dass in euren Fenstern das Licht wärmer scheint
Refrain 2x
