One Wonderful Night (You Told Me You Loved Me) Composer(s): E. Clinton Keithley; Joe Lyons; Clarence M. Jones
From afar in the sky stars were gleaming the moon softly shone from above happy was I in my dreaming, happy in dreams of love in your eyes then the lovelight was beaming yearning was my heart for thee clasped in your arms "One Wonderful Night" You told me you loved me
Seems I hear in the twilight your calling I watch, dear, and wait there for you softly like dew that is falling comes back a love we knew then I know by the throb of my heart, dear just why I'm longing for thee I can't forget "One Wonderful night" You told me you loved me
Love me, love me again, won't you love me again? My heart's yearning I'm lonely, I love, love you only dreaming, dreaming of you always dreaming of you take me back once again, dear to "One wonderful night"
One Wink At A Time Composer(s): Paul Westerberg Performer(s): The Replacements
One wink at a time one wink at a time
Magazine she flips through is the special double issue smells like perfume she leaves it on the plane
Baggage claim is this way so watch her walk down that way in a hurry to put an end to his day
She's got the devil in her eyes only one way to exorcise him one wink at a time one wink at a time
A mail order ring wrapped tight around a Singapore sling at night thinkin' to yourself it needs some more rum use me to lean against
You try to hail an ambulance try sticking out your tongue she's got the devil in her eyes only one way to exercise him one wink at a time one wink at a time
any other time's cool any other time's cool any other time's cool any other time's cool one wink at a time
She's got the devil in her eyes and only one way to exercise him and that's one wink at a time one wink at a time
One wink one wink at a time one wink at a time
She's got the devil in her eyes and only one way to exorcise him and that's one wink at a time one wink at a time
Met Her On A Plane Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Jimmy Webb; Ian Matthews
I met her on a plane I had forgotten I was made of glass I watched the cars and crows and cities pass You know, I watched the sun till I was blind I tried to drive her from my mind But I kept seeing her and I Disappearing in the scenery I was humming, humming inside Mmm mmm humming, I was humming inside
She told me of her pain She did not know that I was hearing her She did not know that I was nearing her You know the sun it did remain And from the glaciers to the plain Her eyes burned bluer than the skies That still exist over Nevada I was humming, humming inside Mmm mmm humming, humming inside
One Way Street Composer(s): Steven Tyler Performer(s): Aerosmith; Lou Ann Barton
Hey look yonder What's that I see Well that old bogus, honey Comin' after me
I goin' told you Was out of town I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
Say, listen babe Don't go wastin' your time You keep comin' 'round You'll hear the same old line
You got a thousand boys You say you need 'em You take what's good for you And I'll take my freedom
'Cause lately it's been so hard to make ends meet And honey, you're headin' down a One Way Street And I gotta go the other way (heh, heh, heh)
I thought I knew her My cagey lady How come my sunshine Was so damn shady She'll say she love to talk A conversation But I'm the one Who makes my situation
This one way city That I thought I knew It's such a pity, honey That's it for you 'Cause lately it's been so hard to make ends meet And honey, you're headin' down a One Way Street And I gotta go the other way
There's nothing over here I never showed you I made it pretty clear I'm glad to know you
You know your brother Spike He's on the level But you always lookin' Like you're mad at the devil
Don't say I cop a 'tude It's all forgotten It's just you're much too rude Your fruits are rotten
You know I work so hard to keep it alive Now all I hear from you Is nothing but jive
Lately it's been so hard Now to make ends meet And honey, you're headin' down a One Way Street And I'm goin' on the other way Yes I do!
And lately it's been so hard To make ends meet And honey, you're headin' down a One Way Street And I really been feelin' Like I could be movin' on
You're headin' down a one way street You're foolin' everybody you meet I said, you're headin' down a one way street You're foolin' everybody but me I said, you're headin' down a one way street You're foolin' everybody you meet I said, you're headin' down a one way street You're foolin' everybody but me... You got to get yourself back on your feet
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
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

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
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...
