Marie, Marie, Marie
Marie, the dawn is breaking Marie, (ooh, Marie) you'll soon be waking To find you heart is aching And tears (and tears) will fall (will fall) as you recall The moon in all its splendor A kiss (ooh, a kiss) so very tender The words, "Will you surrender To me, (Marie), Marie, (Marie-ee)?"

50,000 Miles Beneath The Brain Composer(s): Alvin Lee Performer(s): Ten Years After
I want to know you I want to show you I want to grow you Inside of me I want to see you I want to free you I want to be you Inside of me Love me 50,000 miles beneath my brain Love me 50,000 times and then again
Can you love me with a thousand eyes? Can you see right through my bones? Can you kiss me with a thousand lips? Can you melt a solid stone? Can you hear me from a thousand miles When you're screaming at the stars? Can you pull me up to Jupiter When I'm all hung up on Mars? Burn my eyes with your flame Let your world spin free Let it go, baby I'll do the same All depends on me Let it go It's all the same What with jewels that you can't see Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, babe Bring it on home to me...
50,000 Names Composer(s): Jamie O'Hara Performer(s): George Jones; Jamie O'Hara; Robin & Linda Williams
There's teddy bears and high school rings And old photographs that mamas bring Of daddies with their young boys playin' ball There's combat boots he used to wear When he was sent over there And there's 50,000 names carved in the wall
There's cigarettes and cans of beer And notes that say: "I miss you dear" And children who don't say anything at all There's purple hearts and packs of gum Fatherless daughters and fatherless sons And there's 50,000 names carved in the wall
They come from all across this land In pick-up trucks and mini vans Searchin' for a boy from long ago They scan the wall and find his name The teardrops fall like pourin' rain Then silently they leave a gift and go
There's stars of David and rosary beads And crucifixion figurines And flowers of all colours large and small There's a boy scout badge and a merit pin Little American flags wavin' in the wind And there's 50,000 names carved in the wall
Mais ... Marie Est Venue Performer(s): Claude Barzotti
Voilà que tu débarques, voilà que tu reviens Comme si c'était hier, comme si ce n'était rien Et tu parles de nous, comme d'une évidence Tu viens je ne sais d'où, tu veux qu'on recommence
Mais Marie est venue, sans rien me demander Et elle seule a su, m'apprendre à t'oublier
Voilà que je comprends, que je ne t'aime plus Que t'étais assemblant, rien qu'un mal entendu Toi tu dis que tu m'aimes et que tout va changé Qu'on ne fait plus de scène quand on a trop pleuré
Mais marie est venue, et elle m'a guéri M'a soigné et m'a plu, m'a redonné la vie
Voilà que tu arrives, comment t'es reconquises Que tu dis à Marie, que la place était prise Et puis moi je comprends combien j'aime Marie Combien je veux d'enfants que va faire Marie
Car Marie est venue, elle m'a consolée Je n'aurais jamais cru, que j'allais tant l'aimer {x2}

500 Miles Away From Home Composer(s): Bobby Bare; Hedy West; Charlie Williams Performer(s): Bobby Bare; and various other artists
(I'm five hundred miles away from home)
Teardrops fell on Mama's note When I read the things she wrote She said "We miss you, son, we love you, come on home" Well I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
SPOKEN: I know this is the same coat I took when I left home But it sure looks different now And I guess I look different too But time changes everything I wonder what they'll say, When they see their boy lookin' this way SUNG: Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home
Can't remember when I ate It's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still five hundred miles away from home If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Oh, I'm still five hundred miles away from home
----------
As performed by Reba McEntire:
Teardrops fell on Mama's note When I read the things she wrote She said "We miss you, son, we love you, come on home" Well I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
It's hard to tell the state I'm in Where I'm goin', where I've been But there's a dream I've been followin' so long If Mama knew the things I've done She'd forgive them ev'ryone But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
(Instrumental Break)
Can't remember when I ate It's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still five hundred miles away from home If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Marianne Composer(s): Richard Dehr; Terry Gilkyson; Frank Miller Originally performed by: Terry Gilkyson & The Easy Riders
Marianne Oh, Marianne Oh won't you marry me? We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in the tea Leave your fat old Nanna home She never will say yes If mamma don't know now She can guess, my, my, yes
All night, all day, Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand
When she walks along the shore People pause to greet While birds fly around her Little fish come to her feet In her heart is love, but I'm the only mortal man Who's allowed to kiss my Marianne Don't rush me
All night, all day, Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand
When we marry, we will have A time you never saw I will be so happy I will kiss my mother-in-law Children by the dozen, in and out the bamboo hut One for every palm tree, and cok-y-nut Hurry up now
All night, all day, Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside sifting sand

Marianne, och vi skulle bara se Marianne, skulle blott se henne le Vita tänder, lingult hår Fyller sjutton nu i år Än har ingen gett dig ringen, Marianne
Marianne, jag vet ingen lika fin Marianne, lika söt och feminin Blotta namnet är musik Du är ingen annan lik Ingen annan har den pannan, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne Marianne
Marianne, vem skall bli din hjärtekung Marianne, du är lycklig du är ung Kanske blomma vårar än Innan du skall finna den Finna vännen ibland männen, Marianne

Nos Souvenirs Dutch & English Titles: Maanlicht; Memory Composer(s): Trevor Nunn; T.S. Elliot; Eddy Marnay; Andrew Lloyd Webber Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
(Originally performed by: Elaine Paige)
Sans toi La nuit est sans lumières On dirait que la terre Oublie ces souvenirs Feuilles mortes Qui s'envolent à chacun de mes pas Le passé Marche avec moi
L'automne Et ses heures tranquilles Et les rues de la ville Ont fait nos souvenirs J'étais belle Sans le savoir et je souriais J'étais belle De t'aimer
Dans cette ville Endormie Où nos amours se promènent Je fais un vu Et je lève les yeux Mon dieu qu'il me revienne
Et moi Ce matin qui se lève Je voudrais qu'il devienne Un de nos souvenirs Que l'histoire Perdue un jour au coin de la vie Recommence Aujourd'hui
Je te vois Venir à moi Peut-être bien que je rêve Peut-être bien Que tu es là cette fois Alors je veux te dire
Prends-moi L'avenir sera tendre Je n'ai fait que t'attendre A travers chaque nuit On s'embrasse Pour effacer tous nos souvenirs Tout commence Aujourd'hui

The love in me is never straight and narrow Unless the love is tried and true You take a chance with new beginnings Still we try, win or lose, take the highs With the blues
Always one more, you're never satisfied Never one for all, only one for me So why draw the line, meet you half the way If you don't know what that means
I feel like running politician Just trying to please all the time I give you my share with no conditions Going wide, running long, feeling lost But not for a long
Always one more, you're never satisfied Never one for all, only one for me So why draw the line, meet you half the way If you don't know what that means
Solo
Always one more, you're never satisfied Never one for all, only one for me So why draw the line, meet you half the way If you don't know what that means
Marianne Composer(s): David Blue Performer(s): David Blue
I loved Marianne in the winter In the loft of her favorite lover She was growing older The winter nights were cold She told me I'm frightened I said yes I know
Her eyes held me to her They burned with such a fire For the saints on the walls Holy candles in the halls For those who had left her I held her and cried
Oh Marianne you are beautiful To be this friend To a stranger who Leaves you only to fall Do not cry you have helped me I will not say goodbye
I knew her from another song Her older poet wrote before We played it in the morning laughing on the floor Till he came knocking on the lower East Side door
Yes you know I miss her Her and her stories of the night I called her a rabbit She gave me back my life I haven't heard her voice since the Isle of Wight
Oh Marianne you are beautiful To be this friend To a stranger who Leaves you only to fall Do not cry you have helped me I will not say goodbye
