Messing About On The River
Composer(s): Tony Hatch
Performer(s): Josh MacRae; Tony Hatch



When the weather is fine you know it's the time
For messin' about on the river
If you take my advice there's nothing so nice
As messin' about on the river
There's big boats and wee boats ands all kinds of craft
Puffers and keel boats and some with no raft
With the wind in your face there's no finer place
Than messin' about on the river

There are boats made from kits that'll reach you in bits
For messin' about on the river
And you might want to skull in a glass fibred hull
Go messin' about on the river
Anchors and tillers and rudders and cleets
Ropes that are sometimes referred to as sheets
With the wind in your face there's no finer place
Than messin' about on the river

Skippers and mates and rowing club eights
All messin' about on the river
Capstans and quays where you tie up with ease
All messin' about on the river
Outboards and inboards and dinghies you sail
The first thing you learn is the right way to bale
In a one man canoe you're both skipper and crew
Messin' about on the river

Moorings and docks, tailors and locks
All messin' about on the river
Whirlpools and weirs that you must not go near
Messin' about on the river
Backwater places all hidden from view
Mysterious wee islands just waiting for you
So I'll leave you right now, go cast off your bow
Go messing about on the river

One Way Out
Composer(s): Elmore James; Marshall Sehorn
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band;
and various other artists



Ain't but one way out baby, Lord I just can't go out the door
Ain't but one way out baby, Lord I just can't go out the door
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know

Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more
So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow
And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be
Talking that stuff that they don't know

Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place
Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know

The original Elmore James version is a bit different: 
Raise your window baby, I ain't going out that door
I said raise your window baby, I ain't going out that door
There's a man downstairs, he may be your husband, I don't know

I said raise your window baby, let me ease on round the floor
Raise your window baby, let me ease on real slow
Your neighbours can't stop talking, a lot of junk that they don't know

Ain't but one way out, I ain't going out the door
Ain't but one way out, baby, I ain't going out that door
I wan't you to raise your window baby, let me ease out real slow

I said raise, I said raise it
I said raise, I said raise it
If I get away this time, I won't be caught back here no more

Messieurs Les Jurés
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Billy Joel; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Messieurs les jurés
donnez-moi cinq minutes avant de me condamner
Messieurs les jurés 
vous serez peut-être un jour au banc des accusés
Est-ce que j'ai l'air d'un assassin
Voyez-vous du sang sur mes mains
Est-ce qu'on n'a plus droit d'aimer

Messieurs les jurés, un matin de novembre on est venu me chercher
Ma femme depuis deux jours était partie, on l'avait retrouvée
Du côté de la ferme aux loups
J'ai failli en devenir fou
Est-ce qu'on n'a plus droit d'aimer

Messieurs les jurés, croyez-vous qu'une vie, ça s'écrit sur du papier
Croyez-vous qu'un avocat qui ne me connaît pas, peut en parler
Je n'avais rien, je n'étais rien
Pour elle au moins j'étais quelqu'un
Est-ce qu'on n'a plus droit d'aimer

Messieurs les jurés, sachez que moi aussi, je suis mort à la ferme aux loups
Il peut m'arriver n'importe quoi, si vous saviez comme je m'en fous
Quand on n'a plus rien dans la vie
Quand on n'a même plus envie
On dit salut la compagnie

Messieurs les jurés, buvons à ma santé le verre de condamné
Dormez bien en paix, pardonnez-moi encore de vous avoir dérangés
Je m'en vais me faire pendre ailleurs
Dans un monde même pas meilleur
Si l'on n'a plus droit d'aimer

One Way Love
Composer(s): Jerry Ragovoy; Bert Russell
Performer(s): The Drifters



Go and find the kind of girl
Who thinks you're the only ..guy in the world
No more half-hearted kisses, that's bad enough
Whoa-oh-oh no more teardrops, no more (one-way love)
No, no more (one-way love)

Don't look for someone who likes to love fast
Ya know that kind of love will never last
If she's fast and furious, aww, that can be tough
But oh-oh-oh if she's kinda serious, you'll never have a (one-way 
love)
Oh, you'll never have a (one-way love)

Well, there are girls who like to cheat and flirt
Those kind of girls are worst of all
How they lie, whoa, how they hurt
And you (soon will fall)
She's gonna (make you fall)

Take it from me I know what I say
I'll find me a girl who don't like to play
Aww, that pain and heartbreak, that's mighty rough
Whoa-oh-oh, no more fancy painted-up women, no more (one-way love)
Oh, no more, no more (one-way love)

Messed Around
Composer(s): Chris Difford; Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze



She wants to give up love for good
She kicks the fence and splits the wood
She cries her eyes out in the rain
She swears aloud and so again
She feels messed around
She takes her coat off as it pours
The passing daytime she ignores
Sits with a problem on a bench
And with her heel she digs a trench
She feels messed around
She rips her skirt and tears her dress
Climbing over his garden fence
Mud on her mourning as tears still fall
She's in no mood for his love at all
She feels messed around

Her door won't shut, her match won't light
The bulb went out, her skirts too tight
She feels messed around
The words don't match, her heart won't heal
The phone won't pip, her fruit won't peel
She feels messed around

She left herself open for him all the time
But always kept off of his cloud
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Have come to mess her around

One Way Donkey Ride
Composer(s): Sandy Denny
Performer(s): Sandy Denny;
Mary Black; Vikki Clayton; No Grey Faith



There you may stand in your splendour and jewels
Swaying me in both directions
One is the right one, the other for fools
How do I make my selection?
The city lies silent in the warm morning light
The sand is as golden as saffron
Oasis of love, sweet water of life
God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried

Someone is drowning down there in the flood
But this river will dry by tomorrow
Is it ocean or stream, this love in my blood
Bringer of joy or of sorrow?
The end of the journey must soon be in sight
Birth is the start of the swansong
Oasis of love, sweet water of life
God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied

No one is given the map to their dreams
All we can do is to trace it
See where we go to
Know where we've been
Build up the courage to face it
While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light
Roaming the land of the ancients
Oasis of love, sweet water of life
God bless the poor ones whose patience never died

While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight
Searching for trees in the forest
Oasis of love, sweet water of life
God bless the poor ones, so helpless they have cried
God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried
God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied
God bless the poor ones whose patience never died
God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride

Messaggio
Composer(s): Alice; Franco Battiato; Giusto Pio
Performer(s): Alice; Gennaro Cosmo Parlato



Tra migliaia di persone sicure per fedeltà
dagli occhi come diamanti
che strano dovevo cadere con te
davvero speravo in qualcosa di meglio

C'è che ho poca fortuna in amore
non merito certe avventure
da poco da niente
da fine stagione

C'è che nella mia vita
no non voglio padroni
e con te
con te voglio farla finita

Domani
stasera
ti lascio un messaggio domani
adesso ti scrivo così
Vai via dalla mia vita
basta
con te voglio farla finita
nella mia vita
detesto i tuoi giri e i tuoi guai

Oh quante parole sul tema l'infedeltà
Ho voglia di andare a dormire da sola
sognarmi sdraiata con creme
su spiagge infuocate dal sole d'oriente

C'è che nella mia vita
no non voglio padroni
e con te
con te voglio farla finita

Domani
stasera
ti lascio un messaggio domani
adesso ti scrivo così
Vai via dalla mia vita
basta
con te voglio farla finita
nella mia vita...

Ti lascio un messaggio
domani stasera

Message To My Girl
Composer(s): Neil Finn
Originally performed by: Split Enz
Covered by various other artists



I don't want to say "I love you"
That would give away too much
It's hip to be detached and precious
the only thing you feel is vicious

I don't want to say "I want you"
even though I want you so much
It's wrapped up in conversation
it's whispered in a hush

Though I'm frightened by the word
think it's time I made it heard

No more empty self possession
visions swept under the mat
It's no New Years resolution
it's more than that

Now I wake up happy
warm in lovers embrace
No one else can touch us
while we're in this place

So I'll sing it to the world
this simple message to my girl

No more empty self possession
visions swept under the mat
It's no New Years resolution
it's more than that

Though I'm frightened by the word
think it's time I made it heard

So I'll sing it to the world
this simple message to my girl

No more empty self possession
visions swept under the mat
It's no New Years resolution
it's more than that

Oh there's nothing quite as real
as the touch of your sweet hands
I can't spend the rest of my life
buried in the sand

One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Awaitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Whoooo do you love, I hope it's me
I've bin a changin', as you can plainly see
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain
that my momma said
If I should choose to make a part of me
surely strike me dead
Now I'm one toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
I'm waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I bin away a country mile
Now I'm returnin' showin' off a smile
I met all the girls and loved myself a few
Ended by surprise like everything else I've been through
It opened up my eyes and now I'm
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
Don't you just know I waitin'
for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Don't you just know I waitin'
for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I want to be 
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Don't you just know I waitin'
for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over line
One toke, one toke over the line

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Spread your wings for New Orleans

In search to find wealth and fame

Tell him I miss him more each day
As his train pulled out down the track

In two since he journeyed far
And even though his dreams of fame fell through
To me he will always be a star

One To Ten
Composer(s): Mildred Burk
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Loretta Lynn



If I had counted one, two, three before I made you cry
If I had counted four and five and made another try 

If we’d a counted six, seven, eight and made a bran new start
If we’d a counted nine and ten we wouldn’t be apart

One, two, three come back to me and let bygones go by 
Four and five I know that I've been a foolish guy 

Six, seven, eight give me a date and I'll be as good as pie 
Nine and ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye 

Instrumentals 

If I had counted one, two, three before I walked away 
If I had counted four and five well I'd whispered darling stay 

If we had counted six, seven, eight and turned on all our charms 
If we had counted nine and ten we'd be in each other's arms 

One, two, three come back to me and let bygones go by 
Four and five I know that I've been a foolish guy 

Six, seven, eight give me a date and I'll be as good as pie 
Nine and ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye

One to ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye

One Tin Soldier
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter
Performer(s): Original Caste;
and various other artists



Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom, on a mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Burried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the burried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the kingdom
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain
N' all the riches burried there

Now the valley cried in anger
Mount your horses
Draw your sword
And they killed the mountain people
So they won their just reward
Now they stood beside the treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turn the stone and which beneath it
"Peace on Earth"
Was all it said

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away

Au bout du téléphone, il y a votre voix
Et il y a des mots que je ne dirai pas
Tous ces mots qui font peur quand ils ne font pas rire
Qui sont dans trop de films, de chansons et de livres
Je voudrais vous les dire
Et je voudrais les vivre
Je ne le ferai pas
Je veux, je ne peux pas
Je suis seule à crever, et je sais où vous êtes
J'arrive, attendez-moi, nous allons nous connaître
Préparez votre temps, pour vous j'ai tout le mien
Je voudrais arriver, je reste, je me déteste
Je n'arriverai pas
Je veux, je ne peux pas
Je devrais vous parler
Je devrais arriver
Ou je devrais dormir
J'ai peur que tu sois sourd
J'ai peur que tu sois lâche
J'ai peur d'être indiscrète
Je ne peux pas vous dire que je t'aime peut-être

Mais si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes
Ne crois pas que tes souvenirs me gênent
Et cours, cours jusqu'à perdre haleine
Viens me retrouver
Si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes
Et si ce jour-là tu as de la peine
A trouver où tous ces chemins te mènent
Viens me retrouver
Si le dégoût de la vie vient en toi
Si la paresse de la vie
S'installe en toi
Pense à moi
Pense à moi

Mais si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes
Ne le considère pas comme un problème
Et cours, cours jusqu'à perdre haleine
Viens me retrouver
Si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes
N'attends pas un jour, pas une semaine
Car tu ne sais pas où la vie t'emmène
Viens me retrouver
Si le dégoût de la vie vient en toi
Si la paresse de la vie
S'installe en toi
Pense à moi
Pense à moi

Mais si tu...

One Thing
Composer(s): B. Guthro; M. Jones
Performer(s): Runrig



Walk out the door, your eyes filled with tears
or stay and confront me and face all your fears
linger in silence neither distant or near
it's not going to change a thing

Lay down beside me and question my face
or hold me with all the love we have made
share all your secrets or hide them away
it's not going to change a thing

Lie here and talk of whatever you want
or dare to compare all the things we've made wrong
what care the world when we're all dead and gone
it's not going to change a thing

The picture is painted, the colours are bold
one for each season of life I suppose
it no longer matters, the story is told
it's not going to change a thing

Message Of Love
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Originally performed by: Pretenders



Now the reason we're here
As man and woman
Is to love each other
Take care of each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good, good
Like Brigitte Bardot

Now look at the people
In the streets, in the bars
We are all of us in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars
Look round the room
Life is unkind
We fall but we keep gettin' up
Over and over and over and over and over and over

Me and you, every night, every day
We'll be together always this way
Your eyes are blue like the heavens above
Talk to me darlin' with a message of love

Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

Talk to me darlin'
