southern soul 
elke diepenbeck/deep ´n back 

I was walking on a dirty road 
on my way to new orleans 
the sun was burning wild and hot 
I was sweating in my jeans 
a pick-up truck came rolling by 
I asked him for a ride
he told me he was going down 
to the cajun side 
and then he asked me 
"why don´t I feel right,
and can you help me?"

sure I could help the man 
and do you wanna know how 
I took him down to a little club 
to the late nite music show
and boy did he feel better 
when the band began to play
time to move them little feet 
and dance the blues away
and then he told me 
"I sure do feel right, 
how did you do that?" 
(and I said)

chorus
southern soul is what you need 
to get yourself moving
let it show, that´s what 
keeps the thing alive
southern soul is all I got 
for you and it´s grooving 
let it show you´re alive 

in the early morning dew 
two-stepping out control
he tried to stay but that don´t work 
cause it´s plain to see 
that everybody´s gotta have 
a little piece of my southern soul 
I know I told you 
you gotta feel it 
why don´t you take some 

chorus 

yes we can help you 
but you gotta feel it 
come on and have some

count on me
elke diepenbeck/roland kalus

the night was gay
and I was feeling fine
I was sitting in a small cafe
talking to a friend of mine
and then I saw you in the crowd
didn´t know what to do
should I be quiet or cry out loud
only to notice we´re through

chorus
count on me
call me if you need a friend
when your world is tumbling down again
when you need a hand to hold on to
you can count on me

it´s been so long
since we talked about things
somehow it happened that
understanding lost the sense
and I was wondering
what the reason is and why
it´s not possible to meet
without that feeling of goodbye
it seems like friendship is a 
one way street

chorus

good friends are hard to find they say
and if you find one make him stay
and don´t you think that I don´t care
you just don´t know I´m there

chorus

lovely rita´s blues
elke diepenbeck/roland kalus

my name is lovely rita
I got a lovely room
and if you wanna visit me
you better visit soon
cause I don´t know how I got here
I don´t know if I´ll stay
I only know I´m tired baby
and I´ll be on my way
the sooner is the better
to leave it all behind
so hurry if you need me baby
don´t you take your time
I say love, love, give it away

well maybe I´m a loser 
and tomorrow I´ll be gone
but maybe I´m the winner baby 
and then I´m staying home
but if you need a steady girlfriend
I guess I´m not your style
so you better break the habit
take it cool and show a smile
I´m just a cheap little lady
your cheer leading baby
get out and don´t forget
to leave your money on the bed
I say love, love
give it away my baby
(give it away, give it away)
I want your money honey 
(give it away, give it away)
give it to me
(give it away, give it away)
give it away

I don´t know where I´m going
but sure I´m feeling fine
driving in my wagon
the whole world will be mine
a long long way before me
nobody tell me when
or where I gotta be 
to do a certain thing
I ain´t got no restrictions
and sure ain´t feeling blue
the only trouble is 
that soon my money will be through
I say love, love,
I say love, love, love
give it away

sweet home alabama
lynyrd skynyrd 

big wheel keep on turning 
carry me home as soon as I can
singing songs about the southlands
I miss ole `bamy once again

well I heard mr. young sing about us
I heard ole neill he put us down
well I hope neill young will remember
a southern girl don´t need him around

in birmingham they love the governor
well we all did what we had to do
now watergate doesn´t bother me, no
does your conscience bother you

sweet home alabama
where the skies are so blue
sweet home alabama
lord I´m coming home

life is a misery
elke diepenbeck / deep´n back

I used to be such a very happy girl
up to that black day in november
when life took such a cruel turn
I have to admit I was overwhelmed 
by the colour of your eyes
how could I know about 
the hole behind your smile
nobody told me, nobody warned me
now it´s up to me to try to find a way 
to get you out of my sight again 

chorus
life is a misery since I found you 
used to be fantastic till I found you
now I would like to throw things around you 
baby why can´t you see I´m mad about you
why don´t you hit the door
crawl the floor you ugly toad

funny how things could change 
when I found out
how life was rearranged
when you stepped into my world
first you were only beautiful
then I became pityful
now all I can think about is
jump from the highest bridge
fall from the sky without a parachute
step out on the thin ice
steal honey from a wild grizzly bear

chorus

I´m gonna sit on the tracks till the train comes by
I´m gonna stay on the ground till the sea runs dry
I´m gonna hold my breath till I´m more than blue
if you don´t promise that we are through
I´m gonna hop into the tub with the blowdry on
gonna hike in the bronx with all my jewelry on
gonna sink my ship in the raging sea
if you say you ´ll come back to me

chorus

why not rest in peace would be lucky me - yeah!

find a wheel 
elke diepenbeck/norbert rutte 

it´s just another morning 
his eyes are still asleep
his mind´s wide awake 
and questions run so deep
like why do I always have 
to do what my mama say
guess in third grade 
it´s time to slip away

don´t be late now better run now
he´s gotta catch that bus 
in spite of all the rain
teacher´s waiting but he´s oh so glad
cause he´s free again

chorus
find a wheel that keeps turning on
moving endlessly making you fly
find a wheel that keeps turning on
and you´ll never feel like you run out of time

late in the evening 
he´s wondering what to do 
feeling so tired but so many 
papers to go through
looking for something 
in his life to happen naturally
it´s just one step further 
but now he just can´t see

boss is waiting youth is fading
and he´d be glad if he 
don´t see that face again
free your mind and 
read between the lines
make your own design

chorus

getting bolder while you´re older
and soon you find that
things are really in your hands
gotta get up now 
move on down the line
now´s the perfect time

can´t let go
randy weeks

told you baby one more time
don't make me sit all alone and cry
well it's over, I know it, but I can't let go
I'm like a fish out of water, 
a cat in a tree, 
you don't even wanna talk to me
well it's over, I know it, but I can't let go

chorus
he won't take me back when I come around
says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck, 
and I'm broken down like a train wreck
well it's over, I know it but I can't let go

see, I got a candle and it burns so bright 
in my window every night
well it's over, I know it, but I can't let go
you don't like to see me standing around, 
feel like I've been shot and didn't fall down
well it's over, I know it, but I can't let go

chorus

turn off the trouble like you turn off a light, 
went off and left me, it just ain't right
well it's over, I know it, but I can't let go
round every corner, something I see 
brings me right back how it used to be
well it's over, I know it, but I can't let go

after the fire
amy grant 


after the fire is over
after the ash is cool
after the smoke is blown away 
I will be here for you
after the stillness finds you
after the winds of change
all that is good and true between us
this will remain the same

chorus
slowly slowly
we turn the page of life
growing knowing
he comes at quite a price

after the fire is over
after the ash is cool
after the smoke is blown away 
I will be here for you
after your time of wand' ring
along this lonely road
there will be many voices calling
mine will say "welcome home"

chorus
