Melting Pot Composer(s): Roger Cook; Roger Greenaway Performer(s): Blue Mink and various other artists
I met my girl She was livin' in the melting pot I touched her skin It was greasy from the melting pot Get yourself a weapon 'Cause they slice you up in the melting pot Well, I don't really have time to talk But I wish you lots of luck inin the melting pot
Chorus
And in the end it's always just some game The heartbreak, the laughter has all been in vain Beat up and lied to For your whole life Kick you in the head In the melting pot The hawks live upstairs Where the air is clean in the melting pot They like to swoop down And gnaw at your brain in the melting pot Money, sex and power Jerk you off in the back seat of the melting pot Then they say I saw you last night And you sure were looking sweet in the melting pot
Chorus
They'd like to buy you off If they possibly can in the melting pot With temptation and dreams and persuasion That's what they got In the melting pot Keep you bleeding, begging and snotty here In the melting pot Well, don't you dare laugh out loud They'll take away what you got In the melting pot
One Day I'll Fly Away Composer(s): Will Jennings; Joe Sample Performer(s): The Crusaders; and various other artists
I make it alone When love is gone Still you made your mark Here in my heart One day I'll fly away Leave you love to yesterday What more can your love do for me When will love be through with me I follow the night Can't stand the light When will I begin My life again One day I'll fly away Leave you love to yesterday What more can your love do for me When will love be through with me Why live life from dream to dream Dread the day that dreaming ends One day I'll fly away Leave you love to yesterday What more can your love do for me When will love be through with me Why live life from dream to dream And dread the day that dreaming ends One day I'll fly away
One Day At A Time Composer(s): Marijohn Wilkins; Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Cristy Lane; and various other artists
I'm only human, I'm just a woman Help me believe in what I could be And all that I am Show me the stairway, I have to climb Lord for my sake, teach me to take One day at a time
Chorus: One day at a time sweet Jesus That's all I'm asking from you Just give me the strength To do everyday what I have to do Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus And tomorrow may never be mine Lord help me today, show me the way One day at a time
Do you remember, when you walked among men? Well Jesus you know if you're looking below It's worse now, than then Cheating and stealing, violence and crime So for my sake, teach me to take One day at a time
Les ailes de la Rolls effleuraient des pylônes Quand m'étant malgré moi égaré Nous arrivâmes ma Rolls et moi dans une zone Dangereuse, un endroit isolé
Là-bas, sur le capot de cette Silver Ghost De dix-neuf cent dix s'avance en éclaireur La Vénus d'argent du radiateur Dont les voiles légers volent aux avant-postes
Hautaine, dédaigneuse, tandis que hurle le poste De radio couvrant le silence du moteur Elle fixe l'horizon et l'esprit ailleurs Semble tout ignorer des trottoirs que j'accoste
Ruelles, culs-de-sac aux stationnements Interdits par la loi, le cur indifférent Elle tient le mors de mes vingt-six chevaux-vapeur
Prince des ténèbres, archange maudit Amazone modern' style que le sculpteur En anglais, surnomma Spirit of Ecstasy
Ainsi je déconnais avant que je ne perde Le contrôle de la Rolls J'avançais lentement Ma voiture dériva et un heurt violent Me tira soudain de ma rêverie Merde! J'aperçus une roue de vélo à l'avant Qui continuait de rouler en roue libre Et comme une poupée qui perdait l'équilibre La jupe retroussée sur ses pantalons blancs
One Chance At A Time Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Glen Ballard Performer(s): Kenny Loggins
Hello there You tell me You got a lot of real respect For my kind The Old Timers I'm old enough to know the rules But nobody gave me the book I had to learn to improvise myself 'N time 'n time I let me down Until I learned the hard way How to feel What's real
Chorus:
But you get one chance at a life To give it all and get it right 'N after all this time in mine Everything I thought I knew Was tellin' me To give it up And leave it all behind But you get endless second chances To take it One Chance at a Time
For love 'n money I made a lot-a dumb mistakes In my time Believe me I proved and proved it I can't believe I'm gonna prove it again It's time to reinvent myself But where the hell does the fire come from When makin' it don't make it anymore?
Chorus
Time and Love I been lookin' all my life For time and love Hoping a breeze will come 'n take me I been waiting And waiting And sailing in one place Like a bird against the wind Afraid to turn and fly away
Mélodie Pour Un Amour English Title: Broken Hearted Melody Composer(s): Hal David; Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer; Frank Gérard Performer(s): Caterina Valente; Dalida
Joue toi qui es musicien Joue seulement ce refrain Joue jusqu'au petit matin Joue ça me fait du bien
Car vois-tu ça c'est la Mélodie pour un amour Qui n'a pas duré toujours Mais qui a laissé pourtant Depuis si longtemps toute sa fraîcheur Au fond de mon cur
Car nous n'étions que deux enfants Qui s'aimaient bien tendrement Mais qui découvraient la vie Comme un nouveau fruit Et croyaient encore à l'ile aux trésors
Joue toi qui es musicien Joue seulement ce refrain Joue jusqu'au petit matin Joue ça me fait du bien
Car vois-tu ça c'est la Mélodie pour deux enfants Qui n'ont pas compris à temps Que leur chanson d'amoureux Resterait pour eux jusqu'au dernier jour La mélodie d'un grand amour Joue ou ou ou ou Joue ou ou ou ou...

Melodie poesie Keine sagt so wie die Was ich fühl wenn ich spür Von mir führt ein weg zu dir
One Burning Desire Composer(s): Hugh Cornwell Performer(s): Hugh Cornwell
I'm gonna try and steal a car Drive it off with you somewhere afar I'll start a fire deep inside Find a place where we can hide And as life flashes by You want to know the reasons why I'll be there with words to take you higher One burning desire
I'm gonna try to be a light Set the world on fire day and night We start an education here The signs look good no need to fear The other people come and go Why play the scenes they only know I'll be here to help you walk the wire One burning desire one burning desire
One burning desire One burning desire One burning desire One burning desire
I want to get inside your head Find your ma and pa and what got said And as we get familiar too Find every scar and small tattoo And as we start to play the game I'll confess and take the blame But you're the one who poured fuel on the fire One burning desire one burning desire one burning desire
One burning desire One burning desire One burning desire One burning desire
One Brown Mouse Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Echolyn; The Kelele Brothers; Steve Lieberman
Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder Twitch your whiskers Feel that you're really real Another tea-time, another day older
Puff warm breath on your tiny hands You wish you were a man who every day can turn another page Behind your glass you sit and look at my ever-open book One Brown Mouse sitting in a cage
Do you wonder if I really care for you Am I just the company you keep Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?
Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile And every day we'll turn another page Behind our glass we'll sit and look at our ever-open book One Brown Mouse sitting in a cage

Buiten huilt de wind om 't huis
Maar de kachel staat te snorren op vier
Er hangt een lapje voor de brievenbus
En in de tochtigste kieren zit papier
Wij waren heel erg arm en niemand hield van ons
Maar we hadden thee en nog geen tv
Maar wel radio en lange vingers
We gingen nog in bad, haartjes nat
Nog even op, totdat vader zei: "Vooruit, naar bed"
Dan kregen we een kruik mee
Gezichten op 't behang
Maar niet echt van binnen bang
Toen was geluk heel gewoon
Buiten huilt de wind om 't huis
Maar moeder breit een warme sjaal
En het ganzebord op tafel
stond er de volgende moregen nog helemaal
Ook gingen wij naar 't bos
Daar zijn we toen verdwaald
Van de wag geraakt, carriere gemaakt
Heel die pannekoekensmaak vergeten
En Nederland herrees onder Drees
Fanny Blankers Koen die won vier maal goud in Londen
Als je jokte was dat zonde
De legpuzzle kwam klaar
In het derde vredesjaar
Toen was geluk heel gewoon
Die schooltas bleek het eerste teken
Dat de zaak wal was bekeken
Voor zover je zonder plechtsbesef
Je leven leed, je leven leed
Buiten huilt de wind om 't huis
Maar binnen stond de kolenkit paraat
En de stoep waarop geknikkerd werd
Was het belangrijste stukje van de straat
En Nederland was groot en niemand ging nog dood
En gezelligheid kende nauw'lijks tijd
Bij waxinelichtjes van Verkade
We gingen nog in bad, haartjes nat
Nog even op, totdat vader zei: "Vooruit, naar bed"
Dan kregen we een kruik mee
Gezichten op 't behang
Maar niet echt van binnen bang
Toen was geluk heel gewoon
Melodia De Arrabal Composer(s): Mario Battistella; Carlos Gardel; Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
Barrio plateado por la luna rumor de milongas es toda tu fortuna Hay un fuelle que rezonga en la cortada mistonga mientras que una pebeta linda como una flor espera coqueta bajo la quieta luz de un farol
Barrio, barrio que tenés el alma inquieta de un gorrión sentimental ¡Penas, ruegos! Es todo el barrio malevo melodía de arrabal ¡Viejo barrio! ¡Perdoná si a evocarte se me pianta un lagrimón que al rodar en tu empedrao es un beso prolongao que te da mi corazón
Cuna de taitas y cantores de broncas y entreveros de todos mis amores En tus muros con mi acero yo grabé nombres que quiero Rosa, la milonguita era rubia Margot y en la primer cita la paica Rita me dio su amor
One Boy, Two Little Girls Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye Performer(s): Elvis Presley
One boy, two little girls Three hearts yearning for love Although it's hard to explain I know it may sound insane But this one boy loves two little girls
Folks say three is a crowd To each boy, one girl's allowed But right now I'm having such fun I just can't give up either one 'Cos this one boy loves two little girls
There will come a time I'll have to settle down But until that time I love two girls hanging around
Now one day I must decide Which one I'll choose for my bride But till we three must part I've twice as much love in my heart 'Cos this one boy loves two little girls

One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer Hey mister bartender come here I want another drink and I want it now

Op de dag van jouw ontstaan Had je moeder juist haar C & A'tje aan En je vader droeg een grijze suede jasje Samen zijn ze op die zondag Artis in gegaan Verbaasd dat 't zo zacht was voor de tijd van 't jaar Ze keken naar de dieren in de kooi en naar elkaar Verlegen schoof je moeder dichterbij Waar zij geen naam voor kon bedenken, dat werd jij Je vader was die dag de prins, je moeder een prinses Gezegend door een zonnekoning Werd jij de bekroning op per ongeluk-expres
Op de dag van jouw ontstaan waren alle bomen net begonnen Zich op te maken voor een nieuwe lente Die al weken in de lucht hing, maar toen van start kon gaan Je vader was een zwijger maar hij praatte honderduit Je moeder, in de schaduw, genoot van zijn geluid En 't vreemd geluksgevoel daarbij Waar zij geen naam voor kon bedenken, dat werd jij
Jouw vader was die dag de prins, je moeder een prinses In een land van melk en honing werd jij De beloning, per ongeluk-expres
En al hebben ze dan later, volgens jou Elke fout gemaakt die mensen ook maar maken Die eerste keer schreeuwden mussen 't van de daken En was de hemel van 't allerDelftste blauw
Op de dag van jouw ontstaan Stonden ze, als bij afspraak, op En in een omgebouwde zolderkamer Die 't daglicht nog verdragen kon Heeft ze haar jurk toen uitgedaan De hartstocht en de aandacht waar 't later aan ontbrak Gaf hen vleugels, en ze vlogen hoog boven het dak Getekend voor 't leven, allebei 't Beste dat ze konden geven dat werd jij
Jouw vader was die dag een prins, je moeder de prinses Aanbeden op een bovenwoning Jij werd de bekroning op per ongeluk-expres
Jouw vader was die dag een prins, je moeder de prinses Aanbeden op een bovenwoning Jij werd de bekroning op per ongeluk-expres
