Mayo Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; L. Ferrario; M. Grilli Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Era suave aquel incienso de olor a eternidad Mayo Mayo Mayo... era bueno ¿verdad?
Era grande aquel imperio de amor y libertad... Mayo Mayo Mayo... era fuerte ¿verdad?
El tiempo pasa y me enamora... El tiempo pasa arrasa quema y deteriora el viento call... ¿porque? Y en un momento todo olvido me devora
No soy el héroe que dió sus alas y se puso a amar... Mayo ¿no lo entiendes? no te mientas y mírame No soy la isla que tu fantasía quiso imaginar Mayo ciego escucha Mayo roto convéncete
Era injusto aquel infierno Soberbia y ¿ahora que? Mayo Mayo Mayo qué locura que fué... Mayo Mayo Mayo la locura se fué...
On And On Composer(s): Stephen Bishop Performer(s): Stephen Bishop
Down in Jamaica They go lots of pretty women Steal your money Then they break your heart Lonesome sue, she's in love with ol'Sam Take him from the fire into the frying pan
On and on She just keeps on trying And she smiles when she feels like crying On and on, On and on, On and on
Poor ol'Jimmy Sits alone in the moonlight Saw his woman kiss another man So he takes a ladder Steals the stars from the sky Puts on sinatra and starts to cry
On and on He just keeps on trying And he smiles when he feels like crying On and on, On and on, On and on
when the first time is the last time It can make you feel so bad But if you know it, show it Hold on tight Don't let her say: Goodnight
Got the sun on my shoulders And my toes in the sand My woman's left me for the some other man Aw, but I don't care I'll just dream and stay tan Toos up my heart to see where it lands
On and on I just keep on trying And I smile when I feel like dying On and on (9x)
Mayfair Composer(s): Nick Drake Performer(s): Nick Drake
Mayfair strange in the morning light Mayfair strange in the summer night Mayfair strangest in the afternoon Mayfair stretching far above full of fame but lacking love Could it be we see the Mayfair moon?
Mayfair strange across the park In the day or in the dark There's no need to walk or even run Mayfair faces clean and nice But beauty here is cold as ice Could it be we see the Mayfair sun?
Mayfair strange at every hour Hidden frowns with mystic power Starry heights and golden throne Down below you're on you're own
Mayfair strange for passers-by Sights of wonder for the eye Could it be they'll pass by again? Mayfair calling far and near For even trees are wealthy here Could it be we hear the Mayfair rain?
On An Island Composer(s): David Gilmour Performer(s): David Gilmour
Remember that night, white stairs in the moonlight They walked here too, through empty playground, this ghost's town Children again on rusty swings getting higher Sharing a dream on an island it felt right
We lay side by side between the moon and the tide Mapping the stars for awhile
Let the night surround you We're halfway to the stars Ebb and flow, let it go Feel the warmth beside you
Remember that night, the warmth and the laughter Candles burn though the church was deserted At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbor Dreamers may leave but they're here everafter
Let the night surround you We're halfway to the stars Ebb and Flow, let it go Feel the warmth beside you
Maybellene Danish Title: Mælk Og Vin Composer(s): Chuck Berry Originally performed by: Chuck Berry Covered by various other artists
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do
As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do
Pink in the mirror on top of the hill It's just like swallowin' up a medicine pill First thing I saw that Cadillac grille Doin' a hundred and ten gallopin' over that hill Offhill curve, a downhill stretch Me and that Cadillac neck by neck
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do
The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more It then got cloudy and it started to rain I tooted my horn for a passin' lead The rain water blowin' all under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor good
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do
The motor cooled down, the heat went down And that's when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do
On An Evening In Roma Italian Title: Sott'er Celo De Roma Composer(s): Umberto Bertini; Frederics; Sandro Taccani Performer(s): Dean Martin; Patrizio Buanne
Como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette strette como e` tutta bella a passeggiare Sotto il cielo di Roma
Down each avenue or via, street or strata You can see 'em disappearing two by two On an evening in Roma Do they take 'em for espresso Yeah, I guess so On each lover's arm a girl I wish I knew On an evening in Roma
Though there's grining and mandolining in sunny Italy The beginning has just begun when the sun goes down So please meet me in the plaza near your casa I am only one and that's one too few On an evening in Roma
Don't know what the country's coming to But in Rome do as the Romans do Will you on an evening in Roma
Como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette strette como e` tutta bella a passeggiare Sotto il cielo di Roma Don't know what the country's coming to But in Rome do as the Romans do Will you on an evening in Roma Sott'er celo de Roma On an evening in Roma
Maybe You'll Be There Composer(s): Rube Bloom; Sammy Gallop Performer(s): Jane Morgan and various other artists
Each time I see a crowd of people Just like a fool, I stop and stare It's really not the proper thing to do But maybe you'll be there
I go out walking after midnight Along a lonely thoroughfare It's not the time or place to look for you But maybe you'll be there
You said your arms would always hold me You said your lips were mine alone to kiss Now after all those things you told me How could it end like this?
Someday if all my prayers are answered I'll hear a footstep on the stair With anxious heart, I'll hurry to the door And maybe you'll be there
You said your arms would always hold me You said your lips were mine alone to kiss Now after all those things you told me How could it end like this?
Someday if all my prayers are answered I'll hear a footstep on the stair With anxious heart, I'll hurry to the door And maybe you'll be there And maybe you'll be there, maybe you'll be there
On Again! On Again! Composer(s): Jake Thackray Performer(s): Jake Thackray
I love a good bum on a woman, it makes my day To me it is palpable proof of God's existence, a posteriori Also I love breasts and arms and ankles, elbows, knees It's the tongue, the tongue, the tongue on a woman that spoils the job for me
Please understand I respect and admire the frailer sex And I honour them every bit as much as the next misogynist But give some women the ghost of a chance to talk and thereupon They go on again, on again, on again, on again, on again, on again, on ...
I fell in love with a woman with wonderful thighs and hips And a sensational belly, I just never noticed her lips were always moving Only when we got to the altar and she had to say I Do And she folded her arms and gathered herself and took in a breath and I knew ...
She could have gone on again, on again, on again till the entire Congregation passed out and the vicar passed on and the choirboys passed through puberty At the reception I gloomily noted her family's jubilant mood Their maniacal laughter and their ghastly gratitude
She talks to me when I go for a shave, or a sleep, or a swim She talks to me on a Sunday, when I go singing hymns, and drinking heavily When I go mending my chimney pot she's down there in the street And at ninety-five on my motorbike she's on the pillion seat
Wittering on again, on again, on and again and again When I'm eating or drinking, or reading or thinking, or when I'm saying my rosary She will never stop talking to me, she is one of those women who Will never use three or four words when a couple of thousand will easily do
She also talks without stopping to me in our bed of a night Throughout the sweetest of our intimate delights she never gives over Not even stopping while we go hammer and tongs towards the peak Except maybe for a sigh and a groan and one perfunctory shriek
Then she goes on again, on again, on again on and I must Assume that she has never noticed that she's just been interrupted Totally unruffled she is, and as far as I can see I might just as well have been posting a letter or stirring up the tea
She will not take a hint, not once she's made a start I can yawn, or belch, or bleed, or faint, or fart - she'll not drop a syllable I could stand in front of her grimly sharpening up an axe I could sprinkle her with paraffin, and ask her for a match
She'd just go on again, on again, on again even more The hind leg of a donkey is peanuts for her, she can bore the balls off a buffalo Mother of God, I cried one day, Oh, let your kingdom come And in the meantime, Mother, could you strike this bugger dumb?
Well, believe it or not, she appeared to me then and there The Blessed Virgin herself, in answer to my prayer - despite the vulgarity Shimmering softly, dressed in blue and holding up a hand I cocked a pious ear, as the Mother of God began
But she went on again, on again, on again on and I Will have to state how very much I sympathise with the rest of the family Give some women the ghost of a chance to talk and thereupon They go on again, on again, on again, on again, and again, and again, and again, and again
They will go on again, on again, on again, on again, On again, on again, on ...
Maybe Tonight Composer(s): Doug Fieger Performer(s): The Knack
I dont know why I never said it before I dont know why I waited so long to be sure But I ... everything's coming Something's coming, maybe tonight
Funny to think I had to clown and pretend Never knew I saw you as more than a friend But I ... come hold me tighter, come make it right Maybe tonight, oh maybe tonight
Ever since the day I saw you I was blown away 'cause I knew I could not say All the things I had to say I was such a shy guy, I could not tell you I love you Well maybe tonight, yes maybe tonight But I ... come hold me tighter Come make it right, maybe tonight Yes maybe tonight Ever since the day I saw you I was blown away 'cause I knew I had to say All the things I had to say
I was such a shy guy I could not tell you I love you Well maybe tonight Maybe tonight Yes maybe tonight Maybe tonight Maybe tonight
On A Wonderful Day Like Today Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley Performer(s): Lena Horne; Anthony Newley; Matt Monro; Veronica Nunn; Johnny Mathis; Shirley Bassey
On a wonderful day like today I defy any cloud to appear in the sky Dare any rain drop to plop in my eye On a wonderful day like today
On a wonderful morning like this When the sun is as big as a yellow balloon Even the sparrows are singing in tune On a wonderful morning like this
On a morning like this I could kiss everybody I'm so full of love and goodwill Let me say furthermore I'd adore everybody to come and dine The pleasure's mine and I will pay the bill
May I take this occasion to say That the whole human race should go down on its knees Show that we're grateful for mornings like these For the world's in a wonderful way On a wonderful day like today
On a morning like this I could kiss everybody I'm so full of love and goodwill Let me say furthermore I'd adore everybody to come and dine The pleasure's mine and I will pay the bill

Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tonight Composer(s): C. Koerts; G.C. Koerts; H.W.C. Ziech Performer(s): Earth and Fire
When the time will come that the birds return the season is on the turn and the blossom is adorning the land My loneliness, my darling will come to an end

When the sunshine so bright and clean will make trees turn into green our love will turn into what we intend my loneliness my darling will come to an end
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight Its such a wonderful feeling When your back on my side Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight Its such a wonderful feeling
The time has come that birds returned the season is on the turn and blossom is adorning the land My loneliness, my darling will come to an end
On A Tropic Night Composer(s): Ned Washington; Agustín Lara Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour
So lovely is the moon on a tropic night No heart can be immune on a tropic night As a lonely guitar plays a serenade There's music in the heart of each man and maid Stars always linger low on a tropic night What lips can answer "No" when two lips invite When there's wine in the air, lips are always careless Lovers find their delight on a tropic night
Maybe Tomorrow Composer(s): Berry Gordy, Jr.; Alphonso Mizell; Freddie Perren; Deke Richards Performer(s): The Jackson 5
I don't know how many stars there are Up in the heavenly sky I only know my heaven is here on earth Each time you look into my eyes The way .. you do baby
Thank you, thank you baby
My beautiful bird you have flown away I held you to tight, I can see
You're all I need to get by No one else can make me cry The way you do baby
Chorus: You are the book that I read each day You are the song that I sing Gonna sing it to you You are the four seasons of my life But maybe tomorrow, you'll change your mind girl Maybe tomorrow, you'll come back to my arms girl
(maybe she won't)
Maybe
You're all I need to get by No one else can make me cry The way you do baby
On A Tous Besoin D'Amour Composer(s): Jean-Paul Dréau; Saint Preux Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Nous on veut l'amour Rien de plus, rien de moins Pour les curs trop lourds De détresse, de chagrin Nous on veut l'amour Pour toujours prend ma main On a tous besoin d'amour Rien de plus, rien de moins
Donne pour l'amitié Ou simplement pour la différence Donne pour aimer C'est la seule vérité Aime l'autre pour qu'il apprenne à t'aimer
Tu peux tout changer Faire couler l'eau des mots de tes rêves Sur les yeux fermés Qui ne croient plus le beau Parce qu'à trop oublier, ils se taisent
Nous on veut l'amour Rien de plus, rien de moins Pour les curs trop lourds De détresse, de chagrin Nous on veut l'amour Pour toujours prend ma main On a tous besoin d'amour Rien de plus, rien de moins
Donne tout ce que tu veux A tous ceux qui n'ont rien ou si peu Qui tendent les mains Et qui ferment leurs yeux Pour nous dire qu'ils sont là, faute de mieux
Nous on veut l'amour Rien de plus, rien de moins Pour les curs trop lourds De détresse, de chagrin Nous on veut l'amour Pour toujours prend ma main On a tous besoin d'amour Rien de plus, rien de moins
Maybe Tomorrow Composer(s): Don Everly; Phil Everly Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
I'll love you love again Maybe Tomorrow I don't know where or when Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tomorrow
You say, you say you're gonna cry Because they've made us say goodbye Our love will stand the test of time And our ages won't be there To draw the line
I'll love you love again Maybe Tomorrow I don't know where or when Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tomorrow
On A Toujours Le Temps Composer(s): Bernard Dimey; Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
On a toujours le temps mon amour le temps passe On a toujours le temps de mourir pour un mot Un mot d'amour qui flotte à l'heure où tout se casse Un mot sans intérêt qui sonne toujours faux On a toujours le temps de passer la frontière Aux risques et périls de celui qu'on était Il sera toujours temps d'éteindre la lumière Et de te dire encore ici bas je t'aimais
On a toujours le temps mon amour quoi qu'on fasse On a toujours le temps de mourir pour un rien Après avoir surpris brusquement dans la glace Un regard qui déjà ne regardait plus rien On a toujours le temps de revoir dans la glace Le sourire attendri des amants surgelés Viens dormir dans mes bras mon amour le temps passe On a toujours le temps crois-moi de s'en aller
On meurt autour de nous comme on danse à la foire Au milieu du néon des minuits parisiens On plonge d'un seul coup dans une eau froide et noire Ni le temps, ni l'argent n'y pourront jamais rien On a toujours le temps de rejoindre ces ombres Ce soir il fait très beau et quand tu me souris Le soleil se rallume au fond de ces recoins sombres Et mon Eldorado est au creux de ton lit
