    Matilda Mother
    Composer(s): Syd Barrett
    Originally performed by: Pink Floyd
    Covered by various other artists



    There was a king who ruled the land
    His majesty was in command
    With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
    Showers silver on the people
    Oh Mother, tell me more
    Why'd'ya have to leave me there
    Hanging in my infant air
    Waiting?
    You only have to read the lines
    They're scribbly black and everything shines
    Across the stream with wooden shoes
    With bells to tell the king the news
    A thousand misty riders climb up
    Higher once upon a time
    Wandering and dreaming
    The words have different meaning
    Yes they did
    For all the time spent in that room
    The doll's house, darkness, old perfume
    And fairy sories held me high on
    Clouds of sunlight floating by
    Oh Mother, tell me more
    Tell me more
    Aaaaaaaah
    Aaaaaaaah
    Aaaaaaaah

    Covered by various other artists



    Ma mère voici le temps venu
    D'aller prier pour mon salut
    Mathilde est revenue
    Bougnat tu peux garder ton vin
    Ce soir je boirai mon chagrin
    Mathilde est revenue
    Toi la servante toi la Maria
    Vaudrait peut-être mieux changer nos draps
    Mathilde est revenue
    Mes amis ne me laissez pas
    Ce soir je repars au combat
    Maudite Mathilde puisque te v'là

    Mon cœur mon cœur ne t'emballe pas
    Fais comme si tu ne savais pas
    Que la Mathilde est revenue
    Mon cœur arrête de répéter
    Qu'elle est plus belle qu'avant l'été
    La Mathilde qui est revenue
    Mon cœur arrête de bringuebaler
    Souviens-toi qu'elle t'a déchiré
    La Mathilde qui est revenue
    Mes amis ne me laissez pas
    Dites-moi dites-moi qu'il ne faut pas
    Maudite Mathilde puisque te v'là

    Et vous mes mains restez tranquilles
    C'est un chien qui nous revient de la ville
    Mathilde est revenue
    Et vous mes mains ne frappez pas
    Tout ça ne vous regarde pas
    Mathilde est revenue
    Et vous mes mains ne tremblez plus
    Souvenez-vous quand je vous pleurais dessus
    Mathilde est revenue
    Vous mes mains ne vous ouvrez pas
    Vous mes bras ne vous tendez pas
    Sacrée Mathilde puisque te v'là

    Ma mère arrête tes prières
    Ton Jacques retourne en enfer
    Mathilde m'est revenue
    Bougnat apporte-nous du vin
    Celui des noces et des festins
    Mathilde m'est revenue
    Toi la servante toi la Maria
    Va tendre mon grand lit de draps
    Mathilde m'est revenue
    Amis ne comptez plus sur moi
    Je crache au ciel encore une fois
    Ma belle Mathilde puisque te v'là te v'là

    Well interstate eighty we was cuttin' the fog

    But this gal's built like a burlap bag full of wildcats, she's got it together
    Well she filled my tank, I says thank you honey
    Her name is Mavis, I gave her the money
    Old Sloan just set there a watchin' an' waggin' an whooshin'

    I says you wait in the truck boy

    Well we went inside, she said "what'll it be"
    I says a cup of yer best and a number three
    She come back with an order to go, an' a quart of hot C, and a bone for Sloan
    I said much obliged, old Sloan give a bark
    I left her a buck, an' he left his heart
    At the Old Home Filler-up an' Keep On a-Truckin' Café

    (Oh the Old Home Filler-up an' Keep On a-Truckin'
    Oh the Old Home Filler-up -) It never closes
    (Oh the Old Home Filler-up an' Keep On a-Truckin' Café)

    Well I got me a stool, took a load off my shoes
    Made Mavis an offer that she couldn't refuse
    I says how'd ya like to go for a ride with me an' old Sloan, I just had my truck washed
    She allowed as how it sounded like a whole lotta fun
    But we was gonna have to wait until the dishes was done
    And was it all right with me if she brought along her mother as a chaperone

    I said why not...

    Well we geared that tranny into super low
    And the four of us went to see a picture show
    Yeah I took 'em to the drive in theater over by Pisgah, to see True Grit
    Saw the late late show, old Sloan hit the sack
    And then along about two o'clock I hauled 'em on back
    To the Old Home Filler-up an' Keep On a-Truckin' Café

    (Oh the Old Home Filler-up an' Keep On a-Truckin'
    Oh the Old Home Filler-up an' Keep On a-Truckin'

    Le vent du passé me murmure un conte effacé
    Eveillant mes amours fanées
    Valse du souvenir, mélodie des désirs oubliés
    Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi
    Valsez Mathilda
    Valsez Mathilda
    Charmant fantôme de mes jours fleuris
    Tourbillon parfumé
    En valsant vous étiez si jolie
    Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi

    Comme un vent léger qui passe et ne revient jamais
    En souriant m'avez quitté
    J'ai retrouvé ce soir le chemin des Espoirs envolés
    Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi
    Où êtes-vous Mathilda?
    Où êtes-vous Mathilda?
    Où dansez-vous Mathilda, sans moi?
    Si jolie vous étiez
    Hélas ! Jamais plus ne me reviendrez
    Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi

    Si jolie vous étiez
    Hélas! Jamais plus ne me reviendrez
    Quand vous dansiez Mathilda, pour moi

    Old Hippie
    Composer(s): David Bellamy
    Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers



    He turned thirty-five last Sunday
    In his hair he found some gray
    But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
    He likes it better the old way
    So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
    He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense
    He get's out there in the twilight zone
    Sometimes when it just don't make no sense

    He gets off on country music
    Cause disco left him cold
    He's got young friends into new wave
    Buts he's just too friggin old
    And he dreams at night of Woodstock
    And the day John Lennon died
    How the music made him happy
    And the silence made him cry
    Yea he thinks of John sometimes
    And he has to wonder why

    Chorus:
    He's an old hippie
    And he don't know what to do
    Should he hang on to the old
    Should he grab on to the new
    He's an old hippie
    His new life is just a bust
    He ain't trying to change nobody
    He just trying real hard to adjust

    He was sure back in the sixties
    That everyone was hip
    Then they sent him off to Vietnam
    On his senior trip
    And they forced him to become a man
    While he was still a boy
    And in each wave of tragedy
    He waited for the joy
    Now this world may change around him
    But he just can't change no more

    Chorus

    Well he stays away a lot now
    From the parties and the clubs
    And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
    Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
    Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
    And pretty soon the species
    Will just up and fade away
    Like the smoke from that torpedo
    Just up and fade away

    Old friends, old friends
    Sat on their parkbench like bookends
    A newspaper blown through the grass
    Falls on the round toes
    of the high shoes of the old friends
    Old friends, winter companions, the old men
    Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
    The sounds of the city sifting through trees
    Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

    Can you imagine us years from today
    Sharing a parkbench quietly
    How terribly strange to be seventy

    Old friends, memory brushes the same years
    Silently sharing the same fears

    Matchstalk Men And Matchstalk Cats And Dogs

    Performer(s): Brian & Michael and various other artists



    He painted Salford's smokey tops
    On cardboard boxes from the shops
    And parts of Ironcoats where I used to play
    I'm sure he once walked down our street
    'Cause he painted kids who had nowt on their feet
    The clothes we wore had all seen better days

    Now they said his works of art were dull
    No room, all round the walls are full
    But Lowry didn't care much anyway
    They said he just paints cats and dogs
    And matchstalk men in boots and clogs
    And Lowry said that's just the way they'll stay

    And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
    He painted kids on the corner of the street with the sparking clogs
    Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gates
    To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

    Now canvas and brushes were wearing thin
    When London started calling him
    To come on down and wear the old flat cap
    They said tell us all about your ways
    And all about them Salford days
    Is it true you're just an ordinary chap

    And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
    He painted kids on the corner of the street with the sparking clogs
    Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gates
    To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

    Now Lowries hang upon the wall
    Beside the greatest of them all
    And even the Mona Lisa takes a bow
    This tired old man with hair like snow
    Told northern folk its time to go
    The fever came and the good Lord mopped his brow

    And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
    He left us kids on the corner of the street with sparking clogs
    Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly gates
    To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

    And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
    He left us kids on the corner of the street with sparking clogs
    Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly gates

    Old Friends
    Composer(s): Roger Miller
    Performer(s): Roger Miller; Willie Nelson



    Old friends, pitching pennies in the park
    Playing croquet 'til it's dark, old friends
    Mmm old friends, swapping lies of lives and loves
    Pitching popcorn to the doves, old friends

    Old friends, looking up to watch a bird
    Holding arms to climb a kerb, old friends
    Old friends, lord when all my work is done
    Bless my life and grant me one, old friend
    At least one, old friend

    Old friends, looking up to watch a bird
    Holding arms to climb a kerb, old friends
    Old friends, lord when all my work is done
    Bless my life and grant me one, old friend
    At least one, old friend

    Matchmaker
    Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick; Jerry Bock



    Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match
    Find me a find, catch me a catch
    Matchmaker, matchmaker, look through your book
    And make me a perfect match

    Matchmaker, matchmaker, I'll bring the veil
    You bring the groom, slender and pale
    Bring me a ring, for I'm longing to be
    The envy of all I see

    For Papa, make him a scholar
    For Mama, make him rich as a king
    For me, well, I wouldn't holler
    If her were as handsome as anything

    Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match
    Find me a find, catch me a catch
    Night after night, in the dark, I'm alone
    So, find me a match of my own

    Hey old friend
    are you ok old friend
    what'll you say old friend
    are we or are we unique
    time goes by
    everything else keeps changing
    you and I we get continued next week
    most friends fade
    or they don't make the grade
    new ones are quickly made
    and in a pinch, sure they'll do
    but us old friends
    what's to discuss old friend
    here's to us
    who's like us
    damn few

    Covered by various other artists



    I said I'm sitting here watching
    matchbox hole in my clothes
    I said I'm sitting here wondering
    matchbox hole in my clothes
    I ain't got no matches
    but I sure got a long way to go

    I'm an old poor boy
    I'm a long way from home
    I'm an old poor boy
    and I'm a long way from home
    I've never been happy
    'cause everything I ever did was wrong

    Well, if you don't want my peaches
    honey please don't shake my tree
    If you don't want any of those peaches
    honey, please don't mess around my tree
    I've got news for you baby
    Leave me here in misery, all right!

    Well let me be your little dog
    till your big dog comes
    Let me be your little dog
    till your big dog comes
    And when your big dog gets here
    watch how your puppy dog runs

    Well I said I'm sitting here watching
    matchbox hole in my clothes
    I said I'm sitting here wondering
    matchbox hole in my clothes
    I ain't got no matches
    but I sure got a long way to go

    Old Folkie
    Composer(s): Harry Chapin
    Performer(s): Harry Chapin



    He's the man with the banjo and the 12-string guitar
    And he's singing us the songs that tell us who we are
    When you look in his eyes you know that somebody's in there
    Yeah, he knows where we're going and where we been
    And how the fog is gettin' thicker where the future should begin
    When you look at his life you know that he's really been there
    Still, what is the name that they're calling that man?
    What is the name that they're calling that man?
    You know, it's always the "Old Folkie"
    They say he's always bleedin'
    But whenever somebody's needing him
    He's the one who cares
    It's always the "Old Folkie"
    Whenever somethin's burning
    Or a lesson needs some learning
    Or a tide that needs some turning
    To a better world somewhere
    Yeah, the "Old Folkie's" there
    Yeah, for forty years now he's been pushin' on
    Carrying the dream 'cause Woody's long gone
    He's the last voice singing that "Bound for Glory" song
    And if you never seen him you might take a look
    He's the man who put the meaning in the music book
    Yeah, the world may be tired but Pete's still going strong
    Still, what is the name that they're calling that man?
    What is the name that they're calling that man?
    You know, it's always the "Old Folkie"
    They say he's always bleedin'
    But whenever somebody's needing him
    He's the one who cares
    It's always the "Old Folkie"

    Matacuervos
    Composer(s): T. Méndez
    Performer(s): Raphael



    Paisaje de Campogrado
    Todo es silencio y grandiosidad
    Sólo el rumor de las aves
    Rompe el arrullo de la soledad
    Las nubes vienen sombreando
    A Matacuervos que ya sanó
    Torazo que fue indultado
    Que nunca en la vida jamás les pidió
    Matacuervos, Matacuervos
    Por algo te puse así
    Yo vi llevarse en tus cuernos
    A cuervos traviesos cuando eras así
    Matacuervos, Matacuervos
    La plaza entera te vio llorar
    Cuando bravo te negabas
    Y tú no querías el ruedo dejar
    La luna en el Campogrado
    Mientras que alumbra rezando está
    Verónicas de oro y seda
    En Matacuervos pensando está
    La niebla viene bajando
    Con Matacuervos quiere jugar
    Que así jugaban antaño
    Cuando era un becerro
    Becerro sin par

    Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You)
    Composer(s): Pebe Sebert; Hugh Moffatt
    Performer(s): Dolly Parton;
    and various other artists



    Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
    I use to take comfort from long before I met you
    I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
    With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire

    Old flames can't hold a candle to you
    No one can light up the night like you do
    Flickering embers of love
    I've known one or two
    But old flames can't hold a candle to you

    Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
    I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
    Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
    Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn

    Old flames can't hold a candle to you
    No one can light up the night like you do
    Flickering embers of love
    I've known one or two
    But old flames can't hold a candle to you
    Old flames can't hold a candle to you
    Mmmm ......

    Masterpiece
    Composer(s): Kenny Nolan
    Performer(s): Atlantic Starr



    A simple touch of your hand
    And everything is right
    The gentle way you look at me
    When we kiss goodnight
    You've given me the freedom no other love has known
    And now I thank you girl, thank you girl

    The countless ways you've touched my heart
    Is more than I can say
    The beauty that you've shown to me
    takes my breath away
    A picture perfect painting, that's what our love is
    And yes I need you so, and now I know

    Chorus:
    ooooh
    I've found a masterpiece in you
    a work of art it's true
    And I treasure you my love
    ooooh
    I've found a masterpiece in you
    a work of art it's true
    And I treasure you

    Sometimes I wonder what I'd be
    Had I not found you
    A least and lonely soul this world
    could show me nothing new

    But now my life's a canvas
    painted with your love
    And it will always be
    And now I see

    The two of us together
    Through time will never pass
    This fairy tale we shared
    is real inside our hearts
    let it be forever
    never let it end
    this promise I do make
    Heaven is ours to take

    Chorus

    When I'm lost and insecure
    you build me up and make me sure
    that everything will turn out right
    My love

    Chorus

    (This fairy tale we're sharing
    is real inside our hearts
    Let it be forever
    never let it end)

    I saw you staring at each other
    I saw your eyes begin to glow
    And I could tell you once were lovers
    You ain't hidding nothing I don't know

    There's an old flame, burning in your eyes
    That tears can't drown, and make-up can't disguise
    That old flame may not be stronger, but it's been burning longer
    Than any spark I might have, started in your eyes

    You said it ended when he left you
    You say your love for him is gone
    But those old memories still upset you
    For I might be a memory before to long

    There's an old flame, burning in your eyes
    That tears can't drown, and make-up can't disguise
    That old flame may not be stronger, but it's been burning longer
    Than any spark I might have, started in your eyes

    'Cause there's an old flame, burning in your eyes

    Master Song
    Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
    Performer(s): Leonard Cohen



    I believe that you heard your master sing
    when I was sick in bed
    I suppose that he told you everything
    that I keep locked away in my head
    Your master took you travelling
    well at least that's what you said
    And now do you come back to bring
    your prisoner wine and bread?

    You met him at some temple, where
    they take your clothes at the door
    He was just a numberless man in a chair
    who'd just come back from the war
    And you wrap up his tired face in your hair
    and he hands you the apple core
    Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare
    of all the kisses we put on some time before

    And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk
    with a collar of leather and nails
    and he never once made you explain or talk
    about all of the little details
    such as who had a word and who had a rock
    and who had you through the mails
    Now your love is a secret all over the block
    and it never stops not even when your master fails

    And he took you up in his aeroplane
    which he flew without any hands
    and you cruised above the ribbons of rain
    that drove the crowd from the stands
    Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane
    and, an ape with angel glands
    erased the final wisps of pain
    with the music of rubber bands

    And now I hear your master sing
    you kneel for him to come
    His body is a golden string
    that your body is hanging from
    His body is a golden string
    my body has grown numb
    Oh now you hear your master sing
    your shirt is all undone

    And will you kneel beside this bed
    that we polished so long ago
    before your master chose instead
    to make my bed of snow?
    Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red
    and you're speaking far too low
    No I can't make out what your master said
    before he made you go

    Then I think you're playing far too rough
    for a lady who's been to the moon
    I've lain by this window long enough
    to get used to an empty room
    And your love is some dust in an old man's cough
    who is tapping his foot to a tune
    and your thighs are a ruin, you want too much
    let's say you came back some time too soon

    I loved your master perfectly
    I taught him all that he knew
    He was starving in some deep mystery
    like a man who is sure what is true
    And I sent you to him with my guarantee
    I could teach him something new
    and I taught him how you would long for me
    no matter what he said no matter what you'd do

    I believe that you heard your master sing
    while I was sick in bed
    I'm sure that he told you everything
    I must keep locked away in my head
    Your master took you travelling
    well at least that's what you said
    And now do you come back to bring
    your prisoner wine and bread?

    I’ve got that old-fashioned love in my heart
    And there, it shall always remain
    You’re like that old ivy vine
    Cling a little closer all the time
    Through the years, joy and tears, just the same

    I’ve got that old-fashioned dream in my heart
    And there it shall always be
    Although the land may change to sea
    It will never make any change in me
    I’ve got that old-fashioned love in my heart

    (Rep once more)
