Meu Caro Amigo Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Francis Hime Performer(s): Chico Buarque and various other artists
Meu car amigo me perdoe, por favor Se eu não lhe faço uma visita Mas como agora apareceu um portador Mando notícias nessa fita Aqui na terra 'tão jogando futebol Tem muito samba, muito choro e rock'n'roll Uns dias chove, noutros dias bate sol Mas o que eu quero é lhe dizer que a coisa aqui tá preta Muita mutreta pra levar a situação Que a gente vai levando de teimoso e de pirraça E a gente vai tomando que, também, sem cachaça Ninguém segura esse rojão
Meu caro amigo eu não pretendo provocar Nem atiçar suas saudades Mas acontece que não posso me furtar A lhe contar as novidades Aqui na terra 'tão jogando futebol Tem muito samba, muito choro e rock'n'roll Uns dias chove, noutros dias bate sol Mas o que eu quero é lhe dizer que a coisa aqui tá preta É pirueta pra cavar o ganha-pão Que a gente vai cavando só de birra, só de sarro E a gente vai fumando que, também, sem cigarro Ninguém segura esse rojão
Meu caro amigo eu quis até telefonar Mas a tarifa não tem graça Eu ando aflito pra fazer você ficar A par de tudo que se passa Aqui na terra 'tão jogando futebol Tem muito samba, muito choro e rock'n'roll Uns dias chove, noutros dias bate sol Mas o que eu quero é lhe dizer que a coisa aqui tá preta Muita careta pra engolir a transação E a gente tá engolindo cada sapo no caminho E a gente vai se amando que, também, sem um carinho Ninguém segura esse rojão
Meu caro amigo eu bem queria lhe escrever Mas o correio andou arisco Se permitem, vou tentar lhe remeter Notícias frescas nesse disco Aqui na terra 'tão jogando futebol Tem muito samba, muito choro e rock'n'roll Uns dias chove, noutros dias bate sol Mas o que eu quero é lhe dizer que a coisa aqui tá preta A Marieta manda um beijo para os seus Um beijo na família, na Cecília e nas crianças O Francis aproveita pra também mandar lembranças A todo o pessoal Adeus
Only A Dream A Rio Composer(s): James Taylor Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson; and various other artists
More than a distant land over a shining sea More than the steaming green More than the shining eyes Well they tell me it's only a dream in Rio Nothing could be as sweet as it seems on this very first day down They remind me, "Son, have you so soon forgotten?" Often as not it's rotten inside and the mask soon slips away Strange taste of a tropical fruit, romantic language of the Portuguese Melody on a wooden flute, samba floating in the summer breeze
It's all right, you can stay asleep, you can close your eyes you can trust the people of paradise to call your keeper and tender your good-byes
Oh, what a night, wonderful one in a million frozen fire Brazilian stars Oh, holy southern cross, later on take me way downtown in a tin can Can't come down from the bandstand, I'm never thrown for such a loss when they say Quando a nossa mãe cordar, andaremos ao sol Quando a nossa mãe acordar, cantará pelo sertão Quando a nossa mãe acordar, todos os filhos saberão Todos os filhos saberão e regozijarão
Caught in the rays of the rising sun on the run from the soldier's gun Shouting out loud from the angry crowd, the mild the wild and the hungry child I'll tell you there's more than a dream in Rio I was there on the very day and my heart came back alive There was more, more than the singing voices more than the upturned faces and more than the shining eyes
But it's more than the shining eye, more than the steaming green more than the hidden hills, more than the concrete Christ more than a distant land over a shining sea more than a hungry child, more like another time Born of a million years, more than a million years
Meu Bem, Meu Mal Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso and various other artists
Você é meu ca minho Meu vinho, meu vício Desde o início estava você Meu bálsamo benigno Meu signo, meu guru Porto s eguro, onde eu vou ter Meu mar e minha mãe Meu medo e meu champ anhe Visando o es paço sider al Onde o que eu sou se afoga Meu fumo e minha ioga Você é minha droga Paixão e carnaval Meu zen, meu bem, me u mal Meu zen, meu bem, me u mal Meu zen, meu bem, me u mal Meu zen, meu bem...
Oney Composer(s): Jerry Chestnut Performer(s): Johnny Cash; Kyle Jennings
I dedicate this song to the workin' man.... For every man that puts in a hard eight or ten hours a day of work and toil and sweat.... Always got somebody lookin' down his neck.... Tryin' to get more out of 'im than he really ought to have to put in.....
After twenty-nine long years of workin' In this shop with Oney standin' over me Today when that old whistle blows I'll check in all my gear and I'll retire
The superintendent just dropped by and said They'd planned my little get together Then he said I'd never a-made it If old Oney hadn't held me to the fire
I've seen him in my dreams at night And woke up in the mornin' feelin' tired And old Oney don't remember, when I came here How he tried to get me fired
With his folded hands behind him Every mornin' Oney waited at the gate Where he'd rant and rave like I committed murder Clockin' in five minutes late
But today they'll gather 'round me Like I've seen 'em do when any man retires Then old Oney's gonna tell me From now on I'm free to do what I desire
He'll present me with that little old gold watch They give a man at times like this But there's one thing he's not countin' on Today's the day I give old Oney his.
I've been workin', buildin' muscles Oney's just been standin' 'round and gettin' soft And today about four-thirty I'll make up for every good night's sleep I've lost
When I'm gone I'll be remembered As the workin' man who put his point across With a right hand full of knuckles 'Cause today I show old Oney who's the boss
Hmmmm! What time is it? Four thirty! Hey, Oney! Oney! Ha ha ha ha!
One's On The Way Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Loretta Lynn; and various other artists
They say to have her hair done Liz flies all the way to France And Jackie's seen in a discothèque, doin' a brand new dance And the White House social season, should be glitterin' 'n gay
But here in Topeka, the rain is a fallin' The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin' One of 'em a-toddlin' and one is a crawlin' And one's on the way
I'm glad Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act While the TV's showin' Newlyweds, a real fun game to play
But here in Topeka, the screen door's a bangin' The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a hangin' One wants a cookie and one wants a changin' And one's on the way
Now, what was I doin', Jimmy get away from there Darn, there goes the phone Hello honey, what's that you say?
You're bringin' a few ole buddies home? You're callin' from a barn? Get away from there! No, not you honey, I was talkin' to the baby Wait a minute, honey, the door bell Honey, could you stop at the market and... Hello? Hello? Well I'll be
The girls in New York City, they all march for women's lib And Better Homes and Garden shows, the modern way to live And the pill may change the world tomorrow, but meanwhile, today
Here in Topeka, the flies are a buzzin' The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin' One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin' Lord, one's on the way
Métro Composer(s): Robert Lamoureux; Henri Bourtayre; Bob Castella Performer(s): Yves Montand
On a chanté la Tour Eiffel Montmartre et puis l'quartier Javel Paris, c'est grand, c'est beau c'est fou Mais c'est parce qu'il y a dessous Un brave homme d'employé Qui l'matin sur le quai Fait des "huit" compliqués Métro! C'est l'journal à huit francs Qu'on lit d'bout en roulant Gêné par un chapeau Métro! C'est la dame qui s'déplace Pour se voir dans la glace D'un air indifférent Métro! L'chef de train qui s'embête Et joue sur sa trompette Un p'tit air rigolo C'est l'Métro! Le visage de la Capitale N'est pas celui d'la rue Pigalle Ça c'est l'argent, le jeu, l'amour Mais la vie de tous les jours
C'est l'monsieur étourdi Qui s'lève et puis qui crie "Bon sang, j'descend ici Mais attendez, mais attendez!" C'est à six heures du soir A la gare Saint-Lazare La sortie des bureaux Métro! Les trottins qui papotent Les amants qui s'bécotent La dame et son tricot Métro! La fille aux yeux si doux Qu'on suivrait n'importe où Mais qui descend trop tôt C'est l'Métro! Roule, roule toujours Tes chagrins, tes amours Tes joies de tous les jours Métro! Emmène au rendez-vous Les heureux, les jaloux D'un bout à l'autre bout Métro! Qui s'en va, qui revient C'est le sang parisien Toujours vif et nouveau Métro! Ce qui fait que Paris Hier comme aujourd'hui Est toujours aussi beau C'est l'Métro! Ce qui fait que Paris Hier comme aujourd'hui Est toujours aussi beau C'est l'Métro!
Les stations, couleurs vives Les biscuits, la lessive Les petits, les grands panneaux Métro! Rendez-vous à "Glacière" Juste en face des premières A demain mon coco N'oublie pas! Tous les yeux du wagon Fixés sur un g'nou rond Qui s'découvre un peu trop Métro! L'apprenti du plombier Qui nous pose sur le pied Son sac de trente kilos C'est l'Métro!

One Year Of Love Composer(s): John Deacon Performer(s): Queen; Kelly Allyn; Elaine Paige
Just one year of love Is better than a lifetime alone One sentimental moment in your arms Is like a shooting star right through my heart Its always a rainy day without you Im a prisoner of love inside you Im falling apart all around you - yeah My heart cries out to your heart Im lonely but you can save me My hand reaches for to your hand Im cold but you light the fire in me My lips search for your lips Im hungry for your touch Theres so much left unspoken And all I can do is surrender To the moment just surrender
And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much Oooh yes it hurts And pain is so close to pleasure And all I can do is surrender to your love Just surrender to your love Just one year of love Is better than a lifetime alone One sentimental moment in your arms Is like a shooting star right through my heart Its always a rainy day without you Im a prisoner of love inside you Im falling apart all around you And all I can do is surrender
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

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
