    Melancholy Melon
    Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul; James Coburn
    Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul



    I am feeling like a melon
    I am feeling like a meloncholy melon
    I am feeling like a meloncholy melon in a heatwave

    Wish I wasn't so mellow
    Wish I wasn't so mellow turning yellow
    Wish I wasn't so mellow turning yellow in a heatwave

    I need your soft breeze
    Blowing 'cross the desert from the palm trees
    To cool me down
    I want your slow rain
    Falling in the valleys and the low plains

    Can't you see I'm not a cactus
    Can't you see the fact is I'm not a cactus
    Can't you see the fact is I'm not a cactus in a heatwave

    aaah...

    Don't want more sunshine
    I can't take more heat
    I don't need more nothing to make me ripe and sweet

    I need your soft breeze
    Blowing 'cross the desert from the palm trees
    To cool me down
    I want your slow rain
    Falling in the valleys and the low plains

    Don't you know that I am ready
    Don't you know that I am edible and ready
    Don't you know that I am edible and ready and I'm hot

    I am feeling like a melon
    I am feeling like a melancholy melon
    I am feeling like a melancholy melon in a heatwave

    aaah...

    1 + 1 = 3
    Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



    Noche de sortilegio y superstición
    Una gitana habla de traición
    Al ver la línea de su corazón
    ¡Ay, las cosas del querer!
    ¡ay, su orgullo de mujer!
    Celos, llenos de amor
    Sombras de confusión
    Uno más uno, tres
    Le dijo la mujer
    Su honra pisada, su alma ultrajada
    El odio araña a Carmen de España
    Corre con la venganza dentro de la piel
    Y al ver su hombre con otra mujer
    Le arde la sangre hasta enloquecer
    ¡Ay, la vida en un puñal!
    ¡ay, fatídico final!
    Celos llenos de amor
    Sombras de confusión
    Uno más uno, tres
    Le dijo la mujer
    Rayos de luna en nubes oscuras
    Ríos de muerte y amantes sin suerte
    Uno más uno, tres
    Le dijo la mujer
    Fuego de infierno y frío de invierno
    Dos cuerpos brillan y al fondo Sevilla
    Uno más uno, tres
    Celos de una mujer
    Uno más uno tres
    Celos de una mujer
    ¡Ay, amor! lo haría, sin dudar por tu amor
    ¡ay, amor! no pude soportar tu traición
    Uno más uno, tres
    Le dijo la mujer
    Rayos de luna en nubes oscuras
    Ríos de muerte y amantes sin suerte
    Uno más uno, tres
    Le dijo la mujer
    Fuego de infierno y frío de invierno
    Dos cuerpos que brillan y al fondo Sevilla
    ... Celos de amor, celos
    Uno más uno, tres
    celos de una mujer
    uno más uno, tres
    celos de una mujer
    Uno más uno tres

    Melancholy Me
    Composer(s): Howard Biggs; Joe "Cornbread" Thomas
    Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald; Eddy Howard



    Melancholy me
    Melancholy over you
    All alone and feelin' blue
    Are you melancholy too

    Miss you every day
    Ever since you went away
    Melancholy over you
    Are you melancholy too

    While each minute seems
    Like hours to me
    Each hour seems like years
    Each day is an eternity
    Of sadness and tears

    All I do is yearn
    Though I know you'll soon return
    But until you do, I'll be
    Just a melancholy me

    While each minute seems
    Like hours to me
    Each hour seems like years
    Each day is an eternity
    Of sadness and tears

    All I do is yearn
    Though I know you'll soon return
    But until you do, I'll be
    Just a melancholy me

    Once Upon A Time
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



    Every morning you wake up alone
    And you shake up your soul
    But nothing stirs
    So you take the love of whoever
    you please
    But you can't find no reason
    For giving yours

    'Cause, once upon a time
    You held a love so strong and fine
    That all the others simply don't compare
    She's always on your mind
    But once upon a time
    You had her there

    Drive into town 'most every night
    On the chance that there might be someone
    Waiting for you
    You tell yourself you'll
    Give it your best
    Maybe settle for less
    But you never do

    'Cause, once upon a time
    You held a love so strong and fine
    That all the others simply don't compare
    She's always on your mind
    But once upon a time
    You had her there

    Every morning you wake up alone
    And you shake up your soul
    But nothing stirs
    So you take the love of whoever
    you please
    But you can't find no reason
    For giving yours

    'Cause, once upon a time
    You held a love so strong and fine
    That all the others simply don't compare
    She's always on your mind

    2000 Miles Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde First release by: The Pretenders - 1983




    He's gone
    2000 miles
    is very far
    The snow is falling down
    It's colder day by day
    I miss you
    The children will sing
    "He'll be back at Christmas time"

    In me it's frozen in silent nights
    Sometimes in a dream
    You appear
    Outside under the purple sky
    Diamonds in the snow
    Sparkle
    Our hearts were singing
    It felt like Christmas time

    2000 miles
    is very far through the snow
    I'll think of you
    Wherever you go

    He's gone
    2000 miles
    is very far
    The snow's falling down
    It's colder day by day

    I miss you
    I can hear people singing
    It must be Christmas time
    I hear people singing
    It must be Christmas time

    Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
    All get no jury to defend you
    You tried but you couldn't try
    When they see you
    You want me to hang around
    With you always
    But you lie and die
    When all you ever give me is disgrace
    That's the way down
    That's the way down
    That's sedation
    That's sedation
    Or one of the two
    Or one of the two
    With our saturation eyes
    You think you can disguise all those meat things
    But can you grovel in the dust
    With masochistic lust and make the song sing
    Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
    All get no jury to defend you
    You tried but you couldn't cry
    When they see you
    That's the way down

    Melancholy Man
    Composer(s): Mike Pinder
    Performer(s): The Moody Blues



    I´m a melancholy man
    That´s what I am
    All the world surrounds me
    And my feet are on the ground
    I´m a very lonely man
    Doing what I can
    All the world astounds me
    And I think I understand
    That we´re going
    To keep growing
    Wait and see

    When all the stars are falling down
    Into the sea and on the ground
    And angry voices carry on the wind
    A beam of light will fill your head
    And you´ll remember what´s been said
    By all the good men this world´s ever known
    Another man is what you´ll see
    Who looks like you and looks like me
    And yet somehow he will not feel the same
    His life caught up in misery
    He doesn´t think like you and me
    ´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see

    When all the stars are falling down
    Into the sea and on the ground
    And angry voices carry on the wind
    A beam of light will fill your head
    And you´ll remember what´s been said
    By all the good men this world´s ever known
    Another man is what you´ll see
    Who looks like you and looks like me
    And yet somehow he will not feel the same
    His life caught up in misery
    He doesn´t think like you and me (A melancholy man)
    ´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see (A very lonely man)
    (Repeat both verses together)

    Composer(s): Levitt; Snyder
    Performer(s): John Gary



    There were blue butterflies golden daffodils
    And a pale August sky filled with whippoorwills
    When we fell in love once upon a summer afternoon
    I remember a kiss and an apple tree
    And the sound of her laughter still follows me
    We were so in love once upon a summer afternoon
    But the end of the dream always makes me cry
    I can still hear the word goodbye
    Only blue butterflies, golden daffodils, apple trees
    And my heart knows I love her still
    Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon
    Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon

    Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
    Let’s diffuse all the bad times
    I’m melancholy too
    Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
    Put yourself in my shoes
    I’m melancholy too

    Let’s be sad, it’s so bad
    Let’s just sit and cry
    Let it go, let it out
    It’s what this melancholy evenin’s all about!

    Let’s sit by the fire and turn the hi-fi higher
    With the saddest songs we’ve found
    Let’s sit by the fire and turn the hi-fi higher
    So the sad stories go round and round
    Round and round and round!

    Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
    Let’s diffuse all the bad times
    I’m melancholy too
    Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
    Put yourself in my shoes
    I’m melancholy too

    I can see you’re down like me
    Let’s have a bottle of wine
    I can see you’re down like me
    But our troubles will go in time

    Let’s raid the fridge, grab the jambalaya dish
    And stuff ourselves with food
    Deep in talk, deep in thought
    The jambalaya will help to melt away
    To melt away… this melancholy mood

    Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
    Let’s diffuse all the bad times
    I’m melancholy too
    Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
    Put yourself in my shoes
    I’m melancholy too

    Bella belinda e' innamorata
    parla da sola con l'insalata
    non guarda il piatto ma la finestra
    scende una lacrima nella minestra
    gioca col pane bella belinda
    fa le palline con la mollica
    nel uo bicchiere bella belinda
    vede i suoi occhi pieni d'amore
    mille pensieri son come farfalle
    mille carezze sui suoi capelli
    brividi dolci lungo le spalle
    piu' e' innamorata e piu' si fa bella
    e' unica al mondo bella belinda
    scende le scale come volando
    e' da romanzo bella belinda
    vive l'amore e salta il pranzo
    quando fa notte bella belinda
    si copre tutta sino ai capelli
    no, non e' il vento bella belinda
    sono i sospiri di chi ti pensa
    mille pensieri son come farfalle
    mille carezze sui suoi capelli
    brividi dolci lungo le spalle
    piu' e' innamorata e piu' si fa bella

    Foi só morder a maçã para sonhar
    Sonhar que ia também, meu bem quero ir
    Quando for pra ilha
    Irmão me leva, irmã me leva
    Foi só pensar em você, já estava lá
    Pra lá de um céu todo azul
    Na beira do mar
    Lá estava a ilha
    A cor morena, o mel da ilha
    Moendo a cana, movendo a ilha

    Não esqueça de dizer adeus sorrindo
    Recados vão na brisa do mar
    Nobreza seja o mel da nossa lha
    O sonho pode ser seu, qualquer lugar
    (Bis)

    Riqueza de viver e ter amigos
    Não esqueça não esquecer de me levar
    Foi só pensar em você para sonhar

    Oh girl
    I looked you over once or twice
    I think that you are very nice
    And you're just meant for me

    Oh girl
    I think you got a messed up mind
    But if you will take the time
    Baby I can set you free

    Well I'm not trying to be
    What I am not
    But I think what you need
    Is what I got

    Girl I'm no philosopher
    But I can offer you that cure
    To mend your broken heart
    I know that you are not blind
    I know you see my messed up mind
    I bet you see my broken heart too

    So won't you
    Bring your heart and your mind
    That's out on the run
    Fuse them with my broken heart
    In my mind
    We'll be one

    Girl I looked you over once or twice
    I think that you are very nice
    And you're just meant for me

    Girl I think you got a messed up mind
    Now that you know yours is just like mine
    Baby, won't you set me free

    Performer(s): The Misfits



    They're calling me, creatures of the night
    Beautiful music
    Animal instincts survived

    The serpent's tongue
    So ancient before the dawn of time
    Fed throughout the ages
    On the blood of mankind

    I've seen it all
    From grace men fall
    Babylon
    Curse of all creations
    Winged serpent of the pit
    Monstrosity

    One million years BC

    Ten thousand centuries ago
    Cast down from Heaven
    To pillage below

    The serpent's eyes

    Le Train
    Performer(s): Esther Ofarim



    Le train, le train que j'attends
    le train, le train que j'attends
    un matin s'arrêtera
    et mon amour en descendra
    Oho oho ...

    Cette gare , j'y viens chaque jour
    d'un cœur léger ou d'un cœur lourd
    et sur un banc de marronnier
    je rêve de te retrouver
    Oho oho ...

    Le train, le train que j'attends
    le train, le train que j'attends
    je l'ai vu là devant moi
    mais mon amour n'y était pas

    Oho oho ...
    Hou hou ...

    Performer(s): The Tremeloes; James Last



    She was just a dream
    I can't explain just the way I feel
    Strange as if they seemed
    But in my mind she was very real

    Once on a Sunday morning
    Before the sunlight was in the air
    Once on a Sunday morning
    Before my eyes she was standing there

    Reaching for my hand
    She smiled at me, we walked away
    Tried to understand
    But I could see through a sunny day

    Once on a Sunday morning
    Before the sunlight was in the air
    Once on a Sunday morning
    Before my eyes she was standing there

    Lalalalala..

    Saturday was done
    I went to bed, but I couldn't sleep
    Sunday came along
    The memory I will always keep

    Once on a Sunday morning
    Before the sunlight was in the air
    Once on a Sunday morning
    Before my eyes she was standing there

    Lalalalala..

    Dididididi..

    On a Sunday morning
    On a Sunday morning
    On a Sunday morning
    On a Sunday morning
    On a Sunday morning
    On a Sunday morning

    10 Degrees And Getting Colder Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists



    He was standin' by the highway
    with a sign that just said Mother
    When he heard a driver comin'
    'Bout a half a mile away
    Then he held the sign up higher
    Where no decent soul could miss it
    It was ten degrees or colder
    Down by bolder dam that day

    He was raised up in Milwaukee
    Though he never was that famous
    He was just a road musician
    To the taverns he would go
    Singin' songs about the ramblin'
    The lovin' girls and gamblin'
    How the world fell on his shoulders
    Back in Boulder I don't know

    It was out in Arizona
    That he heard the lady listenin'
    To each word that he was sayin'
    To each line that he would write
    So he sat down by her table and
    They talked about the weather
    Ninety-eight point six and risin'
    Down by Boulder dam that day

    And she told him she would take him
    For a ride in the mornin' sun
    Back in Boulder he had told her
    I don't know when I had a better friend

    Now he's traded off his Martin
    But his troubles are not over
    For his feet are almost frozen
    And the sun is sinkin' low
    Won't you listen to me brother
    If you ever loved your mother
    Please pull off on the shoulder
    If you're goin' Milwaukee way
    It's ten degrees and getting colder
    Down by Boulder dam today
