Oh England My Lionheart Composer(s): Kate Bush Performer(s): Kate Bush
Oh! England, my Lionheart I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms The soldiers soften, the war is over The air raid shelters are blooming clover Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes My London Bridge in rain again Oh! England, my Lionheart! Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames That old river poet that never, ever ends Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in And keep the tower from tumbling Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart I don't want to go Oh! England, my Lionheart! Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge Give me one kiss in apple-blossom Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing In the orchard, my English rose Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart I don't want to go Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart Oh! England, my Lionheart I don't want to go

Oh boy! Vilket vackert väder, solen skiner idag Oh boy! Inga tunga kläder behövs och det gillar jag
Så opp och hoppa det är sol idag Och en sån dag kan man inte ligga och dra Nej lämna idet och häng med mej ut För sommarn´ kommer nu är vintern slut
Oh boy! Hör på fågelsången, dom sjunger så man blir yr Oh boy! Här på trädgårdsgången, går vägen till ett äventyr Tänk nu på att man kan bli så glad av allt ljust, blommor och av gröna blad Och va med dej å kommer hem igen, från glömda drömmar och till sommaren Oh boy!
Oh boy! Vilka glada toner, det rycker å spritter i mej Oh boy! Tusen millioner kramar vill jag ge dej Ja tänk dej att det kan va så lätt ibland, så enkelt som å sträcka ut en hand Å torka gruset av en barnakind, å känna värmen från en sommarvind
Oh boy! Sicken skänk från ovan det är å leva ida´ Oh boy! Rena gudagåvan, är det konstigt att man är gla´ För solen skiner och du är här, å jorden spinner i sin himlasfär Å faktiskt när man mår på detta vis, är världen nära på ett paradis
Oh boy! Vilket vakert väder, solen skiner idag Oh boy! Inga tunga kläder behövs och det gillar jag Oh boy! Hör på fågelsången, dom sjunger så man blir yr Oh boy! Här på trädgårdsgången, går vägen till ett äventyr
Oh You Pretty Things Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): Peter Noone; and various other artists
Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Wake up you sleepy heads Put on some clothes shake up your beds Put another log on the fire for me I need some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window and what do I see A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to There's no room for me no fun for you I think about a world to come Where the books were found by the golden one
Written in pain, written in awe By the puzzled man who questioned what we were here for All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look at your children Their faces in golden rays Don't kid yourself they belong to you They're the start of the coming race
The earth is a beast we've finished our news Homo sapiens have outgrown their use All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Oh What A Beautiful Dream Composer(s): By Dunham; Joe Hooven; Marilyn Hooven Performer(s): Doris Day
Stardust started falling You should have seen the moon The moon was like a red balloon There were clouds of pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
We landed on a building a thousand stories high We sat and watched the world roll by Baby stars were all a gleam What a beautiful dream
The world seemed empty of people The air so pure and clean It was the most fantastic place I've ever seen I know I heard a choir and distant church bells chime
The bells were ringing all the time Wedding cake and pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
I know I heard a choir and distant church bells chime The bells were ringing all the time Wedding cake and pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
Oh what a beautiful dream Have some pink ice cream
Oh Well Composer(s): Peter Green Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac; and various other artists
I can't help it, 'bout the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to
Now when I talked to God, I knew he'd understand He said "Stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to"
Oh Very Young Composer(s): Cat Stevens Performer(s): Cat Stevens; Susan Egan; David West
Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while And though your dreams may toss and turn you now They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans Denim Blue fading up to the sky And though you want him to last forever You know he never will (You know he never will) And the patches make the goodbye harder still
Oh very young What will you leave us this time There'll never be a better chance to change your mind And if you want this world to see a better day Will you carry the words of love with you Will you ride the great white bird into heaven And though you want to last forever You know you never will (You know you never will) And the goodbye makes the journey harder still
Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while Oh very young What will you leave us this time
Oh Urania (Take Me Away) Composer(s): Andrew Gold Performer(s): Andrew Gold
One hundred million billion stars up in the sky Each one looks so beautiful reflected in your eyes I wonder if there could be life up there A perfect world evolving anywhere
Down here the people have such problems on their hands Nothing to believe in and fear divides the land Can it be so unhappy everywhere? Is there a place where everybody cares?
Oh Urania... Take me with you Oh... Take me away
One hundred million billion stars up in the sky Each one looks so beautiful reflected in your eyes I wonder if there could be life up there A perfect world evolving anywhere
Oh Urania... Take me with you Oh... Take me away
Uh...
Oh Urania... Take me with you Oh... Take me away
Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away)
Oh That's Good, No That's Bad Composer(s): DeWayne; Richard Blackwell Performer(s): Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs; Nine Pound Hammer
(Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!
Not long ago I was walking down the street When a woman in a car knocked me off my feet (Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!
My insurance paid me a lot of dough More money than I'd seen in a year's payroll (Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!
My doctors' bills is where my money went And all I had left was a very bad limp (Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!
'Cause the way I walked got me a role As the marshall's partner on a TV show Pretty young actresses started hanging 'round And every night we'd do the town
(Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!
I ended up back in a hospital bed 'Cause my horse fell on my bad leg (Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!
'Cause just when I was feeling my worst I fell in love with a beautiful nurse (Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!
'Cause I found out she was the doctor's wife Now I'll be in a wheelchair the rest of my life 'Cause no matter how I pleaded and begged He operated on my good leg
Oh So Many Years Composer(s): Frankie Bailes Performer(s): The Everly Brothers; and various other artists
All these many years I've loved you no one has ever known No one has ever known but you alone I've kept it locked inside my heart and smiled through all my tears My darling I have loved you Oh so many years
Each night within my lonely room I cried dear over you and prayed to God that things would turn out right But when the dawn of day appears I brush away my tears My darling I have loved you Oh so many years
I'll go on pretending that my life is all so gay and happy dear without you by my side When all the time my heart is longing just to have you near My darling I have loved you Oh so many years
Maybe fate will lead us down a path where we will meet again and then we'll both be free to love anew Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips will banish all my fears My darling I have loved you Oh so many years
Oh No, Not My Baby Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King Performer(s): Manfred Mann; and various other artists
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby Not my girl"
When my friends told me you had someone new I didn't believe a single word was true I told them all I had faith in you I just kept on sayin'
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby She don't go with other guys & I don't think she would tell me lies" My mama told me when rumors spread There's truth somewhere & I should use my head But I didn't listen to a word she said I kept right on sayin'
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby She's not like these other girls, you see & I believe she's in love with me Oh no no no no no, not my girl"
Well, you might have had a last-minute fling But I am sure it didn't mean a thing 'Cause yesterday you accepted my ring & now I'm glad that I just kept on sayin'
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby Not my girl, not my girl"
