Love Is Like Oxygen Composer(s): Trevor Griffin - Andy Scott First release by: The Sweet - 1978
Love is like oxygen You get too much you get too high Not enough and you're gonna die Love gets you high
Time on my side I got it all I've heard that pride Always comes before a fall There's a rumour goin round the town That you don't want me around I can't shake off my city blues Every way I turn I lose
Love is like oxygen You get too much you get too high Not enough and you're gonna die Love gets you high
Time is no healer If you're not there Lonely fever Sad words in the air
Some things are better left unsaid I'm gonna spend my days in bed I'll walk the streets at night To be hidden by the city lights, city lights
Miss Grace Composer(s): Johanna Hall; John Hall Performer(s): The Tymes; The Catalinas; John Hall; Orleans
Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace Satin and perfume and lace The minute I saw your face I knew that I loved you
Hey you, listen to me I got a lot of truth I want to tell you I just met a woman who turned me upside down The rivers turn in their beds Flowers bloom where she treads She turns an awful lot of heads When she comes to town
Miss Grace when you walk by You're the twinkle in my eye There's no need to wonder why I've fallen for you
Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace Satin and perfume and lace The minute I saw your face I knew that I loved you
Strangest thing of all you see Is that this could happen to me Lady Grace she said she'll be so fine Someday I'll make her mine all mine
Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace Satin and perfume and lace The minute I saw your face I knew that I loved you
Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace Satin and perfume and lace The minute I saw your face I knew that I loved you
Miss Duval
(Adapted from: The Shelter Of Your Eyes - 1972)
Composer(s): Don Williams; Boris Bergman
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1980
Elle s'arrête à un feu rouge Met son moteur au point mort A part sa mèche, rien ne bouge Sur le volant, elle s'endort Logique, le feu passe au vert Rien ne se passe et je klaxonne Je me reflète dans ses verres Elle ne peut plus voir personne Ah bon, c'est vous Miss Vous êtes bien pâle Quelque chose ne tourne pas rond Que se passe-t-il? Avez-vous mal? Faut circuler Miss Duval C'est pas l'endroit pour dormir C'est peut-être trop dur à l'école Ces gosses doivent vous faire souffrir C'est quand l'mariage avec Paul? Quand je l'ai sifflée au feu rouge
Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland First release by: The Supremes - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
The love bug done bit me Didn't mean for him to get me Woo, get up in the morning And I'm filled with desire No, no, I can't stop the fire Love is a real life wire Ooh, it's a burning sensation Far behind imagination
Love is like an itching in my heart Tearing it all apart Just an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it Keeps me sighing, ooh Keeps me yearning
No, mama can't help me No, daddy can't help me I've been bitten by the love bug And I need some information To help me out this situation
Now, when you're ill You take a pill When you're thirsty Drink your fill What you gonna do When love gets a hold A hold on you Love is like an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it
Love is a nagging irritation Causing my heart complication Love is a growing infection And I don't know the correction Got me rocking and reeling And I can't shake the feeling
Love is like an itching in my heart Tearing it all apart Just an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it Keeps me sighing, ooh Keeps me yearning
Keeps me burning Keeps me tossing Keeps me turning Keeps me yearning
I've been bitten by the love bug And I need some information To help me out this situation Love is a nagging irritation Causing my heart complication

Overjoyed Composer(s): Stevie Wonder Performer(s): Stevie Wonder; and various other artists
Over time, I've building my castle of love Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason I've gone much too far for you now to say That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming The sandman has come from too far away For you to say come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I looked at you And maybe too, if you would believe You too might be Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover I've come much too far for me now to find The love that I've sought can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I looked at you And maybe too, if you would believe You too might be Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable What do they know for in romance All true love needs is a chance And maybe with a chance you will find You too like I Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you

Well, I told miss Ann once, and I told miss Ann twice Yes, I told miss Ann once, and I told miss Ann twice Boys, when I'm with miss Ann, I'm livin' in paradise

Love is Like a Rock You can't depend on your teacher You can't depend on your preacher You can't depend on politicians You can't depend on superstitions

Miss America Composer(s): J. Kelly Performer(s): Mark Lindsay
As a young girl she ran wild freely gave herself to me who understood She lay naked in the sun giving birth to what was clear and strong and good Oh Lord to hear her laugh was to know a joy that drove us all insane And she'd lead you down a path through her river valleys etched in summer rain
Do you Miss America Miss America Miss America, I know I do
She was offered jewels and fame and she wore the furs of souls who once she loved She was driven to the site of a marble grave where lay a dyin' dove Rage exploded 'cross her face and make up melted on the cemetary lawn And she cried for an embrace and she wrapped her fingers 'round the deep rose dawn
Do you Miss America Miss America Miss America, I know I do
I've seen her in the forest and she's singin' peaceful songs for you and me And I've heard her in the hills and I'm glad to say she's still alive and free Oh Lord her lovin' eyes cating ripples 'neath the sun without a sound And she mirrors clear in sky as her children dance along the rain washed ground
Do you Miss America Miss America Miss America, I know I do
Do you Miss America Miss America Miss America, I know I do
Do you Miss America Miss America Miss America, I know I do
En dat we toffe jongens zijn dat willen we we-e-ten daarom komen wij, daarom komen wij en dat we toffe jongens zijn dat willen we we-e-ten daarom komen wij -overal !

Love Is Like A Big Brass Band Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
For our first time together I wanted everything to be just right I prayed for good weather For we were going to a concert in the park that night I wanted violins and sweet romantic melodies
But when the band began to play It didn't turn out quite that way For there were trumpets and trombones making sad sounds and glad tones And notes that I will never understand And there were tin horns and oboes and saxophone solos Now you know and I know love is like a big brass band
We wasted no time now, we planned a wedding for the first of June Hear the wedding bells chime now And see the folks all watching for the bridge and groom Waiting for violins and sweet romantic melodies
But when we started down the aisle You should have seen the preacher smile For there were trumpets and trombones making sad sounds and glad tones And notes that I will never understand And there were tin horns and oboes and saxophone solos Now I know and you know love is like a big brass band
Miss Amanda Jones Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Originally performed by: The Rolling Stones Covered by: The Flamin' Groovies; March Violets
Down and down she goes Our, Amanda Jones I said down and down and down and down She'd look really lovely at home 'Til somebody gonna come up and ask her To live happily ever after, Miss Amanda Jones
On and on she goes Little Miss Amanda Jones I said on and on and on and on Just watch her as she grow Don't wanna say it very obviously But she's losing her nobility, Miss Amanda Jones
Hey girl don't you realize The money invested in you Hey girl you just got to find Someone who'll really pull your family through
Up and up she goes Our amanda jones I said up and up and up and up She looks quite delightfully stoned She's the darling of the discotheque crowd Of her lineage she's rightfully proud, miss amanda jones
Hey girl with your nonsense nose All pointing right down at the floor Hey girl your suspender shows And the girl behind you looks a bit unsure
Round and round she goes The world of amanda jones I said round and round and round and round The balls and the dinners and show The little girl she just wanders about 'Til it's time for her coming out, miss amanda jones
Round and round and round Round and round and round....

Love Is Life Composer(s): Erroll Brown - Tony Wilson Performer(s): Hot Chocolate
I have seen the way the earth takes a seed And with care, gives us a flower, a tree Or something on which you can feed That is love, love is life, love, I love you
I will see the day when men will come together Every blind man will use his eyes to see There will come a day, I know, 'cause I'm a believer And love will find a way
Every man will sing, love, I love you Hear sweat voices ring, love, I love you Together we will sing, love, I love you
I have seen the way God's earth lives for the sun Welcome, sun, shine on him, on me, on life, on everyone That is love, love is life, love, I love you
I will see the day when men will come together Every blind man will use his eyes to see There will come a day, I know, 'cause I'm a believer And love will find a way
Every man will sing, love, I love you Hear sweat voices ring, love, I love you Together we will sing, love, I love you Yeah, yeah
Misogynie À Part Italian Title: Lei Mi Rompe Composer(s): Georges Brassens Originally performed by: Georges Brassens
Misogynie à part, le sage avait raison Il y a les emmerdant's, on en trouve à foison En foule elles se pressent Il y a les emmerdeus's, un peu plus raffinées Et puis, très nettement au-dessus du panier Y a les emmerderesses
La mienne, à elle seul', sur tout's surenchérit Ell' relève à la fois des trois catégories Véritable prodige Emmerdante, emmerdeuse, emmerderesse itou Elle passe, ell' dépasse, elle surpasse tout Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je
Mon Dieu, pardonnez-moi ces propos bien amers Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde ell' m'emmerde, elle abuse, elle attige Ell' m'emmerde et j'regrett' mes bell's amours avec La p'tite enfant d'Marie que m'a soufflée l'évêque Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je
Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde et m'oblige à me curer les ongles avant de confirmer son cul Or, c'est pas callipyge Et la charité seul' pouss' ma main résignée Vers ce cul rabat-joie, conique, renfrogné Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je
Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, je le répète et quand Ell' me tape sur le ventre, elle garde ses gants Et ça me désoblige Outre que ça dénote un grand manque de tact Ça n'favorise pas tellement le contact Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je
Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, quand je tombe à genoux Pour cetain's dévotions qui sont bien de chez nous Et qui donn'nt le vertige Croyant l'heure venue de chanter le credo Elle m'ouvre tout grand son missel sur le dos Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je
Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, à la fornication Ell' s'emmerde, ell' s'emmerde avec ostentation Ell' s'emmerde, vous dis-je Au lieu de s'écrier: "Encor! Hardi! Hardi!" Ell' déclam' du Claudel, du Claudel, j'ai bien dit Alors ça, ça me fige
Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, j'admets que ce Claudel Soit un homm' de génie, un poète immortel J'reconnais son prestige Mais qu'on aille chercher dedans son uvre pie Un aphrodisiaque, non, ça, c'est d'l'utopie Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je
