http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4NhzKXCFY0&mode=related&search= NEW WORLD IN THE MORNING Words and Music by Roger Whittaker
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning so they say.
I, myself don't talk about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning, that's today.

And I can feel a new tomorrow comin' on.
And I don't know why I have to make a song. Everybody talks a bout a new world in the morning. New world in the morning takes so long.

I met a man who had a dream he had since he was twenty. I met that man when he was eighty-one. He said too many people just stand and wait up til the mornin', Don't they know tomorrow never comes.

And he would feel a new tomorrow coming on. And when he'd smile his eyes would twinkle up in thought. Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. New world in the morning never comes.
And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on.
And I don't know why I have to make a song. Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. New world in the morning takes so long.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov-e2Jc-QPI Roger Whittaker (w/Chet Atkins) "The Last Farewell"
There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

refrain:
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
(repeat)

I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death; it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell

refrain:
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
(repeat)

Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return safe home again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dell

refrain:
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
(repeat)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY-2einPmd4&mode=related&search= I Don't Believe In If Anymore
Now if you load your rifle right
And if you fix your bayonet so
And if you kill that man my friend
The one we call the foe
And if you do it often lad
And if you do it right
You'll be a hero overnight
You'll save your country from her plight
Remember God is always right
If you survive to see the sight
A friend now greeting foe

No you won't believe in If anymore
It's an illusion
It's an illusion
No you won't believe in If anymore
If is for children
If is for children
Building daydreams

If I knew then what I know now
(I thought I did you know somehow)
If I could have the time again
I'd take the sunshine leave the rain
If only time would trickle slow
Like rain that melts the fallen snow
If only Lord if only
If only Lord if only

Oh I don't believe in If anymore
It's an illusion
It's an illusion
No I don't believe in If anymore
If is for children
If is for children
Building daydreams

No I don't believe in If anymore
It's an illusion
It's an illusion
No I don't believe in If anymore
If is for children
If is for children
Building daydreams

I ll translate,

Went down the tea room boy was it a drag
I met kyliel Greten with the big Bontjas:eek:
Some people are so arrogant:mad:
Made me a sambo, of some ham and that:p:
It made my stomach bleed, and hangover id rather have:D
Cheers herman
Don't know Dutch, but from what i see this is what it says LOL

Nice try, thanks for a good laugh :)

Okay, I'll have a go:

When I noticed you slowly entering the pink tea room
In your threadbare fur-coat and with your arrogant smile
I couldn't help wondering how in heaven's name I even recognized you
You were a picture of hunger and misery...

Believe it or not, this is actually a funny song!

It then goes on-

Je hebt me belazerd
Je hebt me bedonderd
En wat me nu na al die jaren nog verwonderd
Dat ik dat nooit vergeten zal al word ik honderd
Je hebt me belazerd
Je hebt me bedonderd

You have betrayed me
You have cheated on me
And the thing that after all these years still surprises me
Is that I will never forget it if I live to be a hundred
You have betrayed me
You have cheated on me

Hope there are some Dutch people on this forum who might have gotten a laugh out of this.
 
See The Funny Little Clown


See him laughing as you walk by
Everybody thinks he's happy
Cause you never see a tear in his eye
No one knows he's crying
No one knows he's dying on the inside
Cause he's laughing on the outside
No one knows
No one knows
See the funny little clown
He's hiding behind a smile
They all think he's laughing
But I know he's really crying all the while
How his heart is aching
How his heart is breaking on the inside
But he keeps laughing on the outside
No one knows
No one knows
This funny little clown
You never used to see him around
Without his girl beside him to love
Until one day his girl just walked away
And to this very day
He says he never loved her anyway

ps: dont you just love Wikipedia ;) A Clown acknowledges his audience. The clown's humor today is often visual and includes many elements of physical comedy or slapstick humor but not exclusively.

Clowns spread in cultures of any time and place, because they meet some deeply rooted needs in humanity: violation of taboos, the mockery of sacred and profane authorities and symbols, reversal of language and action, and an ubiquitous obscenity (it almost makes you wanna be one ;) yes? you'd like to think so, wouldnt you? :) )
 
Ween's 12 golden country greats has some rippers - a take-off of country music but with famous country session musicians. This one strikes a chord with "something more precious than fine ore..":

I'm flyin' (flyin')
In a frame of my mind that time cannot erase
I'm seein' (seein')
The future, the past as I lay the present to waste
I'm scopin' (scopin')
All these feelings I have and hopin' for them to come true
And I'm holdin' something more precious than fine ore, baby
I'm holdin' you

I'm breathin' (breathin')
The fumes of the grid that rid my lobe of oxygen
I'm climbin' (climbin')
The walls to where good and evil make amends
I'm trippin', writhin' and squealin', pukin'
Looking for someone like you
And i'm holdin' something more precious than fine ore, baby
I'm holdin' you

I'm flyin' (flyin')
In a frame of my mind that time cannot erase
I'm seein' (seein')
The future, the past as I lay the present to waste
I'm scopin' (scopin')
All these feelings I have and hopin' for them to come true
And I'm holdin' something more precious than fine ore, baby
I'm holdin' you
And I'm holdin' something more precious than fine ore, baby
I'm holdin' you
 
Walking in My Shoes


I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I’ve been subjected to
But the lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I’m not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You’ll stumble in my footsteps ;)
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate’s made of me
But I promise you, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn’t have been purer
My case is easy to see

I’m not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I’ve been through
And before we talk of repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You’ll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
 
ONE

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this LIFE off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, wake me

Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh god, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

Watch the clip for the rhythm, Gotta love those double kicks, The solo :D Heh Heh

Allison Kraus When you say nothing at all

In your arms I can still feel the way you
Want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
When you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there ain’t no way--
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t no way--
And there ain’t not how
I’ll never see that day....

’cause I’m keeping you
Forever and for always
We will be together all of our day
Wanna wake up every
Morning to your sweet face--always

Mmmm, baby
In your heart--i can still hear
A beat for every time you kiss me
And when we’re apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there ain’t no way--
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t now way--
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day....

(I wanna wake up every morning)

In your eyes--(I can still see
The look of the one) I can still see
The look of the one who really loves me
(I can still feel the way that you want)
The one who wouldn’t put anything
Else in the world above me
(I can still see love for me) I can
Still see love for me in your eyes
(I still see the love)

And there ain’t no way--
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t no way--
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day....


I’m keeping you forever and for always
I’m in your arms
