Married Man Blues Composer(s): Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Listen all you rounders take a tip from me Listen all you rounders take a tip from me Dont you ever marry if you love your liberty
Dont do it boy
A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please But when she gets you shell find an ace up her sleeve
Once I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time But now all I hear rattlin is this ball and chain of mine
When I was a singer I had girls by the score When I was a singer I had girls by the score But now Im married and they dont love me no more
My Mama says marry my Papa says use your head Mama told me to marry my Papa says use your head Because being married is just like being dead
Oh, Sweet Temptation Composer(s): Wayne Carson Performer(s): Gary Stewart
Oh, sweet temptation It's hard to turn away I look into your begging eyes And Lord I wanna stay
But I'll hate myself in the morning And you will hate me too 'Cause after the fire of the night's desire I'll have to say goodbye to you
Must be the wine And the way the candle shines That makes me wanna take you through the night
One of us must be strong For we both been wrong And your waiting ban ??? keeps saying: it's not right
Oh, sweet temptation It's hard to turn away I look into your begging eyes And Lord I wanna stay
But I'll hate myself in the morning And you will hate me too 'Cause after the fire of the night's desire I'll have to say goodbye to you
I can feel the trembling hands Until you really need a man And I could satisfy the need in you Well, it's not that I'm so smart I just don't wanna break your heart Go on home and love the one you're married to
Oh, sweet temptation It's hard to turn away I look into your begging eyes And Lord I wanna stay
But I'll hate myself in the morning And you will hate me too 'Cause after the fire of the night's desire I'll have to say goodbye to you
Marrakesh Express Composer(s): David Crosby; Stephen Stills; Graham Nash Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash
Looking at the world Trough the sunset in your eyes Trying to make the train To clear Moroccan skies Bugs and pigs and chickens call Animal carpet wall to wall American man is five foot tall and you Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind Had to get away to see what we could find Hope the days that lie ahead Bring us back to where they've led Listen up to what's been said to you Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express All on board that train I've been saving all my money just to take you there I smell the garden in your hair Take a train to Casablanca going south Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m,m,m,m,mouth Cold coffins hang in the square Charming corporals in the square Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express They're taking me to Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express They're taking me to Marrakesh All on board that train All on board that train All on board that train

A chord in C is beautiful I heard somebody say it A chord in G is wonderful According to the way you play it
Oh, Suzannah, dust of that old piana My hands are itchin for them keys Our troubles will go wingin The moment we start singin All our favourite melodies Lets get the gang around That used to hang around Its time we had that parlour newly painted Time for us to get reacquainted Oh, Suzannah, Ill let you sing soprano Dust off that old piana tonight
Marquee Moon Composer(s): Tom Verlaine Originally performed by: Television Covered by various other artists
I remember how the darkness doubled I recall lightning struck itself I was listening listening to the rain I was hearing hearing something else
Life in the hive puckered up my night the kiss of death, the embrace of life There I stand neath the Marquee Moon Just waiting Hesitating... I ain't waiting
I spoke to a man down at the tracks I asked him how he don't go mad He said "Look here junior, don't you be so happy And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad"
Well a Cadillac it pulled out of the graveyard Pulled up to me all they said get in Then the Cadillac it puttered back into the graveyard And me I got out again
Oh Sherrie Composer(s): Bill Cuomo; Randy Goodrum; Craig Krampf; Steve Perry Performer(s): Steve Perry; B'Four; Paul London; Thomas
You should've been gone Knowing how I made you feel And I should've been gone After all your words of steel Oh, I must've been a dreamer And I must've been someone else And we should've been over
Oh, Sherrie, our love Holds on, holds on Oh, Sherrie, our love Holds on, holds on
Oh, I want to let go You'll go on hurtin' me You'd be better off alone If I'm not who you thought I'd be
But you know that there's a fever Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else Can't you feel it burnin' On-and-on
Oh, Sherrie, our love Holds on, holds on Oh, Sherrie, our love Holds on, holds on Oh, Sherrie
(Instrumental Interlude)
Oh, Sherrie
But I should've been gone Long ago, far away And you should've been gone Now I know you'd lie You'll stay
Oh, Sherrie, our love Holds on, holds on Oh, Sherrie, our love Holds on, holds on

Oh, People Composer(s): Andy Goldmark; Bruce Roberts Performer(s): Patti Labelle
If we are one big happy family no one would have to beg to eat If we live in a world of dignity, no man would have to live on the street If I tell you you're a part of me, there's no need for disbelief Here is my hand, to let you know that what we dream we all can hold Apart we are weak ... together we're strong
Chorus: Oh, people....we are writing this song We're all living these words together forever There's no reason we can't live and be one... Build the world that we want together For as long as you stand here by me..... we'll live on
Think of all the possibilities that the eyes of a child can see Think of all the opportunities that float right by you and me Take my hand, and we will know all that we dream...we, our own Apart we are weak... together we're strong
Market Square Heroes Composer(s): Derek Dick; Mark Kelly; Steve Rothery; Peter Trewavas; Michael Pointer; Brian Jellyman; Diz Minnett Performer(s): Marillion; Fish
I found smog at the end of my rainbow I found my thoughts shift slowly into phase Declared the constitution of the walkway I realise it's time to plan the day, the day
I'm a Market Square Hero gathering the storms to troop 'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero speeding the beat of the streetpulse Are you following me, are you following me? Well suffer my pretty warriors and follow me
I got a golden handshake that nearly broke my arm I left the ranks of shuffling graveyard people I got rust upon my hands from the padlocked factory gates Silent chimneys provide the silent steeples
'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero gathering the storms to troop 'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero speeding the beat of the streetpulse, the streetpulse Are you following me? are you following me? Well suffer my pretty children and follow me, follow me
Change, change, change! Change, change, change!
I am your Antichrist show me allegiance Are you following me I am your Antichrist pledge to me defiance Are you following me Suffer my pretty warriors Suffer my fallen child Are you following me The time has come to conquer and I'll provide your end Suffer! We March!
I give peace signs when I wage war in the disco I'm the warrior in the ultra violet haze Armed with antisocial insecurity I plan the path of destiny from this maze
'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero gathering the storms to troop 'Cause I'm a Market Square Hero speeding the beat of the streetpulse, the streetpulse Are you following me? are you following me? Well suffer my fallen angels and follow me
I'm the Market Square Hero I'm the Market Square Hero We're Market Square Heroes We're the Market Square Heroes Are you following me?

I met her at the Burger King We fell in love by the soda machine So we took the car downtown The kids were hanging out all around Then we went down to Coney Island On the coaster and around again And no one's gonna ever tear us apart Cause she's my sweetheart All right, oh yeah Oh, oh I love her so Hanging out on a night like this I'm gonna give her a great big kiss I'm gonna make her mine And everything's gonna be real fine
Ik weet waaraan je denkt, Marjolijne Aan die man met dat nobele gezicht Zijn lei is schoner dan de mijne Allicht, allicht
Maar denk eens aan al die wichtjes die je bij hem krijgen zou Al die nobele gezichtjes, niks voor jou, niks voor jou
Doe je wollen sokjes aan, Marjolijne Kom langs de zoldertrap zo zachtjes als je kan Waarom denk je dat die maan daar staat te schijnen Marjolijne, ik word er zo weemoedig van Hier beneden ligt een perkje te geuren Het decor voor het begin van een roman Waarom blijf je nou nog boven zitten zeuren Marjolijne, Marjolijne, Marjolijne, doe je wollen sokjes aan
Ik weet waaran je denkt, Marjolijne Aan die schlemiel met dat parelgrijze vest Zijn banksaldo is hoger dan het mijne Weet ik best, weet ik best
Maar denk eens aan al die visite die je bij hem krijgen zou Allemaal vesten in de suite, niks voor jou, niks voor jou
Doe je wollen sokjes aan, Marjolijne Kom langs de zoldertrap zo zachtjes als je kan Waarom denk je dat die maan daar staat te schijnen Marjolijne, ik word er zo weemoedig van Hier beneden ligt een perkje te geuren Het decor voor het begin van een roman Waarom blijf je nou nog boven zitten zeuren Marjolijne, Marjolijne, Marjolijne, doe je wollen sokjes aan
Ik weet waaraan je denkt, Marjolijne Aan die vent met dat ravenzwarte haar Zijn haar is dikker dan het mijne 't Is waar, 't is waar
Maar denk eens aan al die knulletjes die je bij mij krijgen zou Allemaal donkerblonde krulletjes, die van jou, die van jou
Doe je wollen sokjes aan, Marjolijne Kom langs de zoldertrap zo zachtjes als je kan Waarom denk je dat die maan daar staat te schijnen Marjolijne, ik word er zo weemoedig van Hier beneden ligt een perkje te geuren Het decor voor het begin van een roman Waarom blijf je nou nog boven zitten zeuren Marjolijne, Marjolijne, Marjolijne, doe je wollen sokjes aan
Marjolaine Composer(s): Francis Lemarque; Rudi Révil Performer(s): Francis Lemarque and various other artists
Dans une rue pleins de brouillard Un inconnu sur sa guitare Chantait, chantait une chanson Que répétaient deux autres compagnons
Marjolaine toi si jolie Marjolaine le printemps fleurit Marjolaine j'étais soldat Mais aujourd'hui je reviens près de toi
Elle avait dit je t'attendrai Il avait dit je reviendrai L'était parti encore enfant L'est revenu un homme maintenant
Marjolaine toi si jolie Marjolaine je n'ai pas menti Marjolaine j'étais soldat Mais aujourd'hui je reviens près de toi L'était parti pour dix années Mais dix années ont tout changé Rien n'est pareil et dans les rues A par le ciel il n'a rien reconnu
Marjolaine toi si jolie Marjolaine le printemps s'enfuit Marjolaine je sais trop bien Qu'amour perdu plus jamais ne revient
Un inconnu et sa guitare Ont disparu dans le brouillard Et avec lui ses compagnons Sont repartis emportant leurs chansons
Marjolaine toi si jolie Marjolaine le printemps fleurit Marjolaine j'étais soldat Mais aujourd'hui je reviens près de toi Marjolaine, Marjolaine, Marjolaine
7 E 40 Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol Performer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol
Mi sono informato c'e' un treno che parte alle 7 e 40 Non hai molto tempo il traffico e' lento nell'ora di punta Ti bastano dieci minuti per giungere a casa la nostra La chiave ricorda che e' sempre lì, lì sulla finestra E nel far le valigie ricordati di non scordare Qualcosa di tuo che a te poi mi faccia pensare E ora basta non stare più qui, ti rendi conto anche tu Che noi soffriamo di più ogni istante che passa di più No, non piangere Presto, presto Presto, presto Presto, presto, vai
Da un minuto sei partita e sono solo Sono strano e non capisco cosa c'e' Sui miei occhi da un minuto e' sceso un velo Forse e' solo suggestione o paura, o chissà che. . . E' possibile che abbia fin da ora già bisogno di te. . .
Mi sono informato c'e' un volo che parte alle 8 e 50 Non ho molto tempo il traffico e' lento nell'ora di punta Mi bastano dieci minuti per giungere a casa la nostra La chiave l' hai messa senz'altro lì, lì sulla finestra E nel far le valigie stavolta non devo scordare Di mettere un fiore che adesso ti voglio comprare Con l'aereo in un'ora son lì, e poi prendo un taxi Sono certo così quando arrivi col treno mi vedi Non piangere Presto, presto Presto, presto Presto, presto, vai Presto, presto Presto, presto Presto, presto, fai presto
