86: Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - Don't give up



in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose

don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good

though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn

drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground

don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong

rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up

'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing

moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs

don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong

Ik had Kate Bush in gedachten, maar aangezien hierboven...
Is al de tweede keer Mostlyanthony

Wat houdt je tegen? Alsof het in de echte Top 2000 niet voorkomt, dat sommige songs van artiesten dicht bij elkaar zitten?

Hooverphonic - Jackie Cane



Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake

The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn't harden

Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She'd melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained

She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour

Salty days for jackie cane

Da's waar ja, maar ik wacht wel even met t nummertje,

OK, mijn laatste voor vanavond

84: Ayreon - Day two: Isolation



[Me] I can't move, I can't feel my body
I don't remember anything
What place is this...how did I get here?
I don't understand, what's happening...

Am I alone?

[Fear] You've been deserted, everyone has left you
You know it's always been that way
Those frantic years, the people you've neglected
Now the time has come to pay

You're alone
No one here is dancing to your tune

[Me] Is this a dream or is it real?
[Reason] Sometimes the dream becomes reality
[Me] But I don't know what to feel
[Reason] Then I will guide you through this haze
[Me] But who are you, why are you here?
[Reason] I am you and you are all of us
[Me] I can't think, my mind ain't clear
[Reason] Then I will free you from this maze

[Passion] Can't you feel it burn
Deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn
Don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire?
Scorching you soul?
A wounded man's desire
Out of control

[Pride] I can't believe you're giving up
That's not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay

You always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice

[Me] You are delusions of my mind
[Reason] And so we are, we're all a part of you
[Me] Am I a part of some design?
[Reason] The one design is in your head
[Me] How can it be you look so real...
[Reason] We are as real as you imagine us
[Me] I can touch you, I can feel...
[Reason] Then take my hand and follow me

[Passion] Can't you feel it burn
Deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn
Don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire?
Scorching you soul?
A wounded man's desire
Out of control

[Pride] I can't believe you're giving up
That's not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay

You always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice

[Love] Close your eyes, listen to your heart beat
Surrender to its soothing pulse
Silence the cries, gentle and carefree
Good or bad, true or false...

You're not alone

You'll find me here whenever they oppose you
I am the strongest of them all
No need to fear these feelings that enclose you
I'm here to catch you when you fall

You're not alone
I am here dancing to your tune

[Passion] Can't you feel it burn
Deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn
Don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire?
Scorching you soul?
A wounded man's desire
Out of control

[Pride] I can't believe you're giving up
That's not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay

You always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice

Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King



Far away
In a land caught between
Time and space
Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah

His deep
Dark eyes
Keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the Mountain King calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge(?) here but I was forever on the run

Madness reigns
(my friends)
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

81 Jonathan Richman - I`m A Little Dinosaur



Well, I'm a little dinosaur
I'm a little dinosaur
I'm a little dinosaur
But I'm planning to go away.

Now, I am real old, don't you know
Born ten billion years ago.
But they don't love me here enough and so
I'm planning to go away

Now the children upon their lawns
Will wake up and wonder where I've gone.
And the flies that buzz around where I now be
They're all gonna have to get along without me.

They'll say,
Where's the little dinosaur?
Where's the little dinosaur?
Where's that little dinosaur?
He must have gone away.

Oh no, please don't go
Oh no, please don't go
Don't go, little dinosaur,
Please don't go away.

Oh no, please don't go
Oh no, please don't go
Don't go, little dinosaur,
Please don't go away.

Okay, I'll come back
You know I'm back to stay
'Cause I'm just your little dinosaur
And I could never really go
Never really go
Never really go away.

78: Luar na Lubre - Tu gitana



Tu gitana que adivinhas me lo digas pues no lo se si saldré desta
Aventura o si nela moriré.

O si nela perco la vida

76 The Who - Magic Bus



Every day I get in the queue (Too much, the Magic Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Your house is only another mile (Too much, the Magic Bus)

But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Nooooooooo!

I don't care how much I pay (Too much, the Magic Bus)

Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus
Give me a hundred (Magic Bus)
I won't take under (Magic Bus)
Goes like thunder (Magic Bus)
It's a bus-age wonder (Magic Bus)

Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus
I want it, I want it, I want it...(You can't have it!)
Think how much you'll save...(You can't have it!)]
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can't have it!)

Thruppence and sixpence every day
Just to drive to my baby
Thruppence and sixpence each day
'Cause I drive my baby every way

75 Dismemberment Plan - Girl O'clock



If I don't have s-s-s-s-s-s-sex by the end of the week, I'm g-g-g-going to die
If I don't feel a p-p-p-p-pair of s-s-s-soft l-l-l-l-lips on my own, oh, I'm going to hang my head and cry.
If I don't feel w-w-w-warm breathe on the n-n-n-nape of my n-n-n-n-neck or feel a nice post-coital sigh
C'mon baby, you can tell the cops why...
(Various oh oh's and yea yea's)
And ya don't know th-th-th-the ice ice cold vice that grips my head
And ya don't know th-th-th-the burning, the burning I feel when I try to get out of bed
And ya don't know how these urges, all these urges, can be so very very misread
C'mon baby, was it something I said?
(Various oh oh's and yea yea's)
When the sun, the stars up in the sky, you know it's girl o'clock
I don't know, but I've been told it's so, you know it's good as gold, you know it's tick tock ya don't stop.
If I don't have a n-n-n-n-nervous b-b-b-breakdown by the end of the week
I'm going to be very, very surprised

73 The Beach Boys - God Only Knows

Misschien wel te laag, maar hij moet er gewoon in, dus dan maar nu! Het zou het eerste popliedje zijn met het woord God in de titel. Dat zal allemaal wel. Het is een fantastisch nummer! Dat weet niet alleen God.



I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you

72 Four Tops - Reach Out I'll Be There

Eén van de meest klassieke Motown releases ooit, dit nummer uit 1966 geschreven Holland-Dozier-Holland.


Now if you feel that you can't go on (can't go on)
Because all of your hope is gone (all your hope is gone)
And your life is filled with much confusion (much confusion)
Until happiness is just an illusion (happiness is just an illusion)
And your world around is crumbling down, darlin
Reach out come on girl reach on out for me
Reach out reach out for me
I'll be there with a love that will shelter you
I'll be there with a love that will see you through

When you feel lost and about to give up (to give up)
Cause your life just ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
And your feel the world has grown cold (has grown cold)
And your drifting out all on your own (drifting out on your own)
And you need a hand to hold, darlin
Reach out come on girl reach out for me
Reach out reach out for me
I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you

I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there to love and comfort you
I can tell the way you hang your head (hang your head)
Your not in love now, now your afraid (you're afraid)
And through the tears you look around (look around)
But there's no piece of mind to be found (no piece of mind to be found)
I know what your thinking,
You're alone now, no love of your own, but darling
Reach out come on girl reach out for me
Reach out reach out.......... just look over your shoulder
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
And I'll be there you can always depend on me
I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there to love and comfort you

71 Blondie - Living in the Real World

In 1979 kwam het 4e Blondie album uit, Eat to the Beat. Hierop een mengelmoes van stijlen, sommige doen nog denken aan de punk en wave van de eerste albums, maar ook disco, reggae is aanwezig. Wat wel leuk is is dat er een video is uitgebracht met daarop van elk nummer clip.
Dat geeft in elk geval de mogelijkheid ook de minder bekende nummers in deze lijst te zetten. En dus het beste nummer van het album op 71.

70 Kinks - Waterloo Sunset

Wat moet je er nog over zeggen? Luisteren!



Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine

Maar ik denk elke keer: er wordt straks toch nog een Mostly Autumn nummer hoger geplaatst Ik bewaar trouwens nog een andere van de Kinks...

Ik ben benieuwd welke. Ik gooi nu alles er maar in wat er wat mij betreft echt in moet, want met dit tempo kan je zomaar te laat zijn.
