    Maybe I Know
    Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich
    Performer(s): Lesley Gore; Ellie Greenwich



    Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
    Maybe I know that he's been untrue
    But what can I do

    I hear them whispering when I walk by
    He's gonna break her heart and make her cry
    I know it's me they're talking about
    I bet they all think I'll never find out

    Ohhh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
    Maybe I know that he's been untrue but what can I do

    My friends are telling me that he's no good
    He isn't treating me the way he should
    He really loves me that's all I can say
    Before my tears fall I just walk away

    Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
    Maybe I know that he's been untrue
    But what can I do
    Ohhhh

    Deep down inside he loves me
    Though he may run around
    Deep down inside he loves me
    Some day he'll settle down

    Ohhh Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
    Maybe I know that he's been untrue
    But what can I do

    He really loves me that's all I can say
    Before my tears fall I just walk away

    Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
    Maybe I know that he's been untrue
    But what can I do

    Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
    Maybe I know that he's been untrue
    But what can I do

    oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

    Maybe he'll know
    I'm not so sure

    maybe he'll be my cure

    oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

    Maybe he'll know, well
    I'm not so sure
    maybe he'll know why
    maaybe he'll be, oh oh

    Something calls to me
    I know
    I hear an echo start to pound
    like a drum
    chanting a song, anchor me
    but don't take too long, no no
    I got this anxious feeling
    I got this ache engraved
    in me like stone
    don't take too long
    say you`ll never leave me
    say you'll never go
    no no no no

    oh oh, oh oh...

    Om Tarar Vore Guld
    English Title: If Tears Were Gold
    Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
    Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



    Fåglarna sjunger, blommor slår ut
    Allt är sig likt som det varit förut
    Men du är ej här, fast jag minns dig ännu
    Kan inte glömma, jag var ju din fru

    Vad man kan sakna någon ändå!
    Stunder av lycka tänker jag på
    Hur kan en saga så vacker som vår
    Plötsligt ta slut efter så många år?

    Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
    Jag kan aldrig glömma dig
    Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld
    Jag blir aldrig kär igen
    Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
    Nu är jag bara en vän

    Finns det nån mening med allt som var?
    Frågan jag ställer får inget svar
    Varför var ödet så hårt mot oss två?
    Allt blev förändrat när jag såg dig gå

    Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
    Jag kan aldrig glömma dig
    Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld
    Jag blir aldrig kär igen
    Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
    Nu är jag bara en vän

    Om Jag Skriver En Sang
    Composer(s): Eva Dahlgren
    Performer(s): Eva Dahlgren



    Vad ska jag skriva nu
    När alla ord tagit slut
    Å vad ska vi prata om
    När allt är utnött och fult

    Det känns som om alla
    Väntar sig
    Att jag ska hitta på nya ord
    Som inte finns på vår jord

    Men om jag skriver en sång
    Full av kärlek och hat
    En sång som säger att det här är jag
    En sång utan massor av ord
    En sång som man kan sjunga
    Gång på gång
    Och tåren på min kind
    Torkar snabbt i dess vind
    Om natten är lång
    Så vad gör väl de'
    Så länge du är med

    Det känns som om alla gamla sånger
    Aldrig nått sitt mål
    Som om alla dessa nya människor
    Aldrig upplevt en vår
    Så snart de talar till mej
    Känns allt så dumt och fel
    Jag vill få er att se

    Men om jag skriver en sång
    Full av kärlek och hat
    En sång som säger att det här är jag
    En sång utan massor av ord
    En sång som man kan sjunga
    Gång på gång
    Och tåren på min kind
    Torkar snabbt i dess vind
    Om natten är lång
    Så vad gör väl de'
    Så länge du är med

    Maybe After He's Gone
    Composer(s): Chris White
    Performer(s): The Zombies



    She told me she loved me
    With words as soft as morning rain
    But the light that fell upon me
    Turned to shadow when he came...

    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, love me again
    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, want me again

    I remember joy and pain
    Her smile, her tears are part of me
    I feel I'll never breathe again
    I feel life's gone from me...

    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, love me again
    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, want me again

    All the days
    And all the nights
    Are time just passing by
    And all the dreams I'm dreaming now
    Hide the tears that I cry...

    I feel so cold
    I'm on my own
    As the night folds in around me
    Night surrounds me
    I'm alone...

    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, love me again
    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, want me again

    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, love me again
    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, want me again

    Maybe after he's gone
    She'll come back, love me again
    After he's gone
    She'll come back, love me again

    The rain is on the roof
    Hurry high butterfly
    As clouds roll past my head
    I know why the skies all cry
    Om, Om

    The Earth turns slowly round
    Far away the distant sound
    Is with us everyday
    Can you hear what it says?

    Maybe if I pray every night
    You'll come back to me
    And maybe if I cry every day
    You'll come back to stay
    Oh, Maybe

    Maybe if I hold your hand
    You will understand
    And maybe if I kiss your lips
    I'll be at your command
    Oh, Maybe

    I prayed and prayed to the Lord
    To send you back, my Love
    But instead you came to me
    Only in my dream

    Maybe if I pray every night
    You'll come back to me
    And maybe if I cry every day
    You'll come back to stay
    Oh, Maybe

    Olivia
    Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
    Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



    Olivia despertó por la mañana
    como suele hacer la gente
    más o menos con el sol

    Era un sábado más en su ventana
    era otra invitación para la suerte
    era otra semejanza del amor
    con que trenzaba hijas y calor
    con la soledad
    era la soledad
    salía el sol

    Olivia en su península poblada
    por la lentitud del día
    por el tiempo sin hacer

    Sobre su condición iba parada
    como una diosa de la luna fría
    que las estrellas quiere conocer
    y da una piedra errante de comer
    con su soledad
    era la soledad
    y vio llover

    Olivia no sabía que la noche
    tiende puentes de aguacero
    para llegar a su umbral

    Olivia no sabía que hay un coche
    y un precipicio al borde del cochero
    y oyó decir que un astro guía en el mar
    y salió de su isla a caminar
    con su soledad
    era la soledad
    y oyó cantar

    and various other artists



    Don't start that talking
    I could talk all night
    my mind was sleep walking
    While I was putting the world to rights
    Call careers information
    Have you got yourself an occupation
    Olivers Army is here to stay
    Olivers army is on their way
    And I would rather be anywhere else
    But here today
    There was a checkpoint charlie
    He didn't crack a smile
    But it's no laughing party
    When you've been on the murder mile
    All it takes is one itchy trigger
    One more widow one less white nigger
    Olivers Army is here to stay
    Olivers army is on their way
    And I would rather be anywhere else
    But here today
    Hong Kong is up for grabs
    London is full of Arabs
    We could be in Palestine
    Overrun by a Chinese line
    With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
    But there's no danger
    It's a professional career
    Though it could be arranged
    With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
    If you're out of luck or out of work
    We could send you to Johannesburg
    Olivers Army is here to stay
    Olivers army is on their way
    And I would rather be anywhere else
    But here today

    O...L...I...V...E...R...Oliver, twist, yeah

    You ought to see Oliver, go go Oliver
    You ought to see Oliver twist

    He can't mow the grass
    Falls asleep in grammar class
    But he's a sight on Saturday night
    You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver
    You oughta see Oliver twist

    He can't drive like Jim
    Every tree bumps into him
    But on the floor he makes 'em roar
    You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver
    You oughta see Oliver twist

    He can't write a letter
    'Cause he can't spell
    The girls, they wanna wear his sweater
    To catch the eye of that a-fabulous guy

    He can't sing on pitch
    But he's a panic with his twitch
    He raises dickens with them chickens
    You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver
    You oughta see Oliver twist

    (Instrumental Break)

    He can't write a letter
    The cat can't spell
    The girls, they wanna wear his sweater
    To catch the eye of that fabulous guy

    He can't sing on pitch
    But he's a panic with his twitch
    He raises dickens with them chickens
    You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver

    Maya
    Composer(s): Robin Williamson
    Performer(s): The Incredible String Band



    The dust of the rivers does murmur and weep
    Hard and sharp laughter that cuts to the bone
    Ah, but ever face within your face does show
    Going gladly now to give himself his own

    And twelve yellow willows shall fellow the shallows
    Small waves and thunder be my pillow
    Upon the gleaming water two swans that swim
    And every place shall be my native home

    The east gate like a fortress dissolve it away
    The west gate like a prison O come break it down
    Island I remember living here
    Wandering beneath the empty skies

    In time her hair grew long and swept the ground
    And seven blackbirds carried it out behind
    It bore the holy imprint of her mind
    As green-foot slow she moved among the seasons

    The great man, the great man, historians his memory
    Artists his senses, thinkers his brain
    Labourers his growth
    Explorers his limbs
    And soldiers his death each second
    And mystics his rebirth each second
    Businessmen his nervous system
    No-hustle men his stomach
    Astrologers his balance
    Lovers his loins
    His skin it is all patchy
    But soon will reach one glowing hue
    God is his soul
    Infinity his goal
    The mystery his source
    And civilisation he leaves behind
    Opinions are his fingernails

    Maya Maya
    All this world is but a play
    Be thou the joyful player

    The wanderer no sense does make
    His eyes being tied in the true love's knot
    The trees perceive his soul
    Do not detain him long

    Dear little animal dark-eyed and small
    Caring for your fur with pointed paws
    This hawk of truth is swift and flies with a still cry
    A small sweetmeat to the eyes of night

    O dandelion be thou thine
    Reflecting the sun in sexual glory
    In every-changing tongues
    The every-changing story

    The book, man, bird, woman, serpent, sea, sun
    Blessed O blessed are they of the air
    Your eyes are the eyes
    Of the glad land
    Ye twelve that will enter the seasons

    The great ship, the ship of the world
    Long time sailing
    Mariners, mariners, gather your skills

    Jesus and Hitler and Richard the Lion Heart
    Three kings and Moses and Queen Cleopatra
    The Cobbler, the maiden
    The mender and the maker
    The sickener and the twitcher
    And the glad undertaker
    The shepherd of willows
    The harper and the archer
    All sat down in one boat together
    Troubled voyage in calm weather

    Quando você me deixou, meu bem
    Me disse pra ser feliz e passar bem
    Quis morrer de ciúme, quase enlouqueci
    Mas depois, como era de costume, obedeci

    Quando você me quiser rever
    Já vai me encontrar refeita, pode crer
    Olhos no olhos, quero ver o que você faz
    Ao sentir que sem você passo bem demais

    E que venho até remoçando
    Me pego cantando
    Sem mais nem porquê
    E tantas águas rolaram
    Quantos homens me amaram
    Bem mais e melhor que você

    Quando talvez precisar de mim
    'Ce sabe a casa é sempre sua, venha sim
    Olhos nos olhos, quero ver o que você diz
    Quero ver como suporta me ver tão feliz

    May You Never Be Alone
    Composer(s): Hank Williams
    Originally performed by: Hank Williams
    Covered by various other artists



    Like a bird that's lost in maiden flight
    I'm alone and oh so blue tonight
    Like a piece of driftwood on the sea
    May you never be alone like me

    I believed the lies you told to me
    When you whispered dear, I'll worship thee
    Now here I am all alone and blue
    All because I love no one but you

    I have left my friends, I left my home
    When you promised to be mine alone
    Now you're gone our love could never be
    May you never be alone like me

    In the bible,God's own words do say
    For every wrong some day you'll have to pay
    I'll pray the Lord to set me free
    May you never be alone like me

    Goodbye Little Darling

    Goodbye little darling we're parting
    Parting don't always mean goodbye
    Although we have to part, you're always in my heart
    Goodbye little darling goodbye

    Goodbye little darling, I'll miss you
    Miss you like the stars would miss the sky
    I hate to see you go, I'm going to miss you so
    Good bye little darling, goodbye

    Goodbye little darling, I love you
    I'll love you till the day I die
    Will you dream a dream of me, wherever you may be
    Goodbye little darling, goodbye

    Olhar Matreiro (Inteiro)
    Composer(s): Fagner; Cazuza
    Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



    Quando eu voltar pra você
    Eu vou voltar inteiro
    Quando eu chegar
    Com o meu olhar matreiro

    Quando eu tocar a campainha
    Me aninha
    Estou certo que você é minha rainha
    Eu tenho andado tão triste
    Feito lixo ao sol
    Pode dizer que não quer
    Mas você vai ser de novo minha mulher

    É que eu sou tão diferente
    Daquele que te maltratou
    Você vai ver, você vai gostar

    Olha a lua lá no céu
    Magrinha, turca
    Olha o ar, olha o mar, olha as estrelas
    Nada disso tem importância

    A natureza é uma coisa
    Tão sem importância
    Contra a tua natureza

    Ode To Billie Joe
    French Title: Marie-Jeanne
    Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry
    Originally performed by: Bobbie Gentry Covered by various other artists



    It was the third of June
    another sleepy, dusty Delta day
    I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
    And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
    And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
    And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"
    "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
    "Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
    "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
    'n' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
    Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
    And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

    'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
    Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
    And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
    "I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem right"
    "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
    "And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    'n' Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
    "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
    "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
    "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
    "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
    "And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
    'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
    There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
    And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
    And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
    And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

    May You Never
    Composer(s): John Martyn
    Performer(s): John Martyn
    and various other artists



    May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold
    May you never make your bed out in the cold

    Just like a great strong brother of mine, you know that I love you true
    You never talk dirty behind my back and I know that there's those that do
    Please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
    Love is a lesson to learn in our time
    Please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind for me

    You're just like a good close sister to me and you know that I love you true
    You hold no blade to stab me in my back and I know that there's those that do
    Please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
    Love is a lesson to learn in our time
    Please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind for me

    May you never lose your temper if you get hit in a bar-room fight
    May you never lose your woman overnight
