One Burning Desire Composer(s): Hugh Cornwell Performer(s): Hugh Cornwell
I'm gonna try and steal a car Drive it off with you somewhere afar I'll start a fire deep inside Find a place where we can hide And as life flashes by You want to know the reasons why I'll be there with words to take you higher One burning desire
I'm gonna try to be a light Set the world on fire day and night We start an education here The signs look good no need to fear The other people come and go Why play the scenes they only know I'll be here to help you walk the wire One burning desire one burning desire
One burning desire One burning desire One burning desire One burning desire
I want to get inside your head Find your ma and pa and what got said And as we get familiar too Find every scar and small tattoo And as we start to play the game I'll confess and take the blame But you're the one who poured fuel on the fire One burning desire one burning desire one burning desire
One burning desire One burning desire One burning desire One burning desire
One Brown Mouse Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Echolyn; The Kelele Brothers; Steve Lieberman
Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder Twitch your whiskers Feel that you're really real Another tea-time, another day older
Puff warm breath on your tiny hands You wish you were a man who every day can turn another page Behind your glass you sit and look at my ever-open book One Brown Mouse sitting in a cage
Do you wonder if I really care for you Am I just the company you keep Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?
Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile And every day we'll turn another page Behind our glass we'll sit and look at our ever-open book One Brown Mouse sitting in a cage

Buiten huilt de wind om 't huis
Maar de kachel staat te snorren op vier
Er hangt een lapje voor de brievenbus
En in de tochtigste kieren zit papier
Wij waren heel erg arm en niemand hield van ons
Maar we hadden thee en nog geen tv
Maar wel radio en lange vingers
We gingen nog in bad, haartjes nat
Nog even op, totdat vader zei: "Vooruit, naar bed"
Dan kregen we een kruik mee
Gezichten op 't behang
Maar niet echt van binnen bang
Toen was geluk heel gewoon
Buiten huilt de wind om 't huis
Maar moeder breit een warme sjaal
En het ganzebord op tafel
stond er de volgende moregen nog helemaal
Ook gingen wij naar 't bos
Daar zijn we toen verdwaald
Van de wag geraakt, carriere gemaakt
Heel die pannekoekensmaak vergeten
En Nederland herrees onder Drees
Fanny Blankers Koen die won vier maal goud in Londen
Als je jokte was dat zonde
De legpuzzle kwam klaar
In het derde vredesjaar
Toen was geluk heel gewoon
Die schooltas bleek het eerste teken
Dat de zaak wal was bekeken
Voor zover je zonder plechtsbesef
Je leven leed, je leven leed
Buiten huilt de wind om 't huis
Maar binnen stond de kolenkit paraat
En de stoep waarop geknikkerd werd
Was het belangrijste stukje van de straat
En Nederland was groot en niemand ging nog dood
En gezelligheid kende nauw'lijks tijd
Bij waxinelichtjes van Verkade
We gingen nog in bad, haartjes nat
Nog even op, totdat vader zei: "Vooruit, naar bed"
Dan kregen we een kruik mee
Gezichten op 't behang
Maar niet echt van binnen bang
Toen was geluk heel gewoon
Melodia De Arrabal Composer(s): Mario Battistella; Carlos Gardel; Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
Barrio plateado por la luna rumor de milongas es toda tu fortuna Hay un fuelle que rezonga en la cortada mistonga mientras que una pebeta linda como una flor espera coqueta bajo la quieta luz de un farol
Barrio, barrio que tenés el alma inquieta de un gorrión sentimental ¡Penas, ruegos! Es todo el barrio malevo melodía de arrabal ¡Viejo barrio! ¡Perdoná si a evocarte se me pianta un lagrimón que al rodar en tu empedrao es un beso prolongao que te da mi corazón
Cuna de taitas y cantores de broncas y entreveros de todos mis amores En tus muros con mi acero yo grabé nombres que quiero Rosa, la milonguita era rubia Margot y en la primer cita la paica Rita me dio su amor
One Boy, Two Little Girls Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye Performer(s): Elvis Presley
One boy, two little girls Three hearts yearning for love Although it's hard to explain I know it may sound insane But this one boy loves two little girls
Folks say three is a crowd To each boy, one girl's allowed But right now I'm having such fun I just can't give up either one 'Cos this one boy loves two little girls
There will come a time I'll have to settle down But until that time I love two girls hanging around
Now one day I must decide Which one I'll choose for my bride But till we three must part I've twice as much love in my heart 'Cos this one boy loves two little girls

Op de dag van jouw ontstaan Had je moeder juist haar C & A'tje aan En je vader droeg een grijze suede jasje Samen zijn ze op die zondag Artis in gegaan Verbaasd dat 't zo zacht was voor de tijd van 't jaar Ze keken naar de dieren in de kooi en naar elkaar Verlegen schoof je moeder dichterbij Waar zij geen naam voor kon bedenken, dat werd jij Je vader was die dag de prins, je moeder een prinses Gezegend door een zonnekoning Werd jij de bekroning op per ongeluk-expres
Op de dag van jouw ontstaan waren alle bomen net begonnen Zich op te maken voor een nieuwe lente Die al weken in de lucht hing, maar toen van start kon gaan Je vader was een zwijger maar hij praatte honderduit Je moeder, in de schaduw, genoot van zijn geluid En 't vreemd geluksgevoel daarbij Waar zij geen naam voor kon bedenken, dat werd jij
Jouw vader was die dag de prins, je moeder een prinses In een land van melk en honing werd jij De beloning, per ongeluk-expres
En al hebben ze dan later, volgens jou Elke fout gemaakt die mensen ook maar maken Die eerste keer schreeuwden mussen 't van de daken En was de hemel van 't allerDelftste blauw
Op de dag van jouw ontstaan Stonden ze, als bij afspraak, op En in een omgebouwde zolderkamer Die 't daglicht nog verdragen kon Heeft ze haar jurk toen uitgedaan De hartstocht en de aandacht waar 't later aan ontbrak Gaf hen vleugels, en ze vlogen hoog boven het dak Getekend voor 't leven, allebei 't Beste dat ze konden geven dat werd jij
Jouw vader was die dag een prins, je moeder de prinses Aanbeden op een bovenwoning Jij werd de bekroning op per ongeluk-expres
Jouw vader was die dag een prins, je moeder de prinses Aanbeden op een bovenwoning Jij werd de bekroning op per ongeluk-expres

One and one is two What am I to do Now that I'm in love with you I'm hoping every day I'm gonna hear you say You really make my dreams come true
Can't you see, I loved you from the start Don't you love me too? I love you, but you're breaking my heart From wanting you
One and one is two What am I to do Now that I'm in love with you I'm hoping every day I'm gonna hear you say You really make my dreams come true
If you say that you're gonna be mine Everything's alright All the world would look so fine
One and one is two What am I to do Now that I'm in love with you I'm hoping every day I'm gonna hear you say You're really make my dreams You're really make my dreams You're really make my dreams come true

Mélissa, métisse d'Ibiza Vit toujours dévêtue Dites jamais que je vous ai dit ça Ou Mélissa me tue... Le matin derrière ses canisses alors qu'elle est moitié-nue Sur les murs devant chez Mélissa Y a tout plein d'inconnus
"Descendez, ça, c'est défendu! Oh! c'est indécent!" Elle crie mais bien entendu Personne ne descend... Sous la soie de sa jupe fendue En zoom en gros-plans Tout un tas d'individus Filment, Noirs et Blancs...
Mélissa, métisse d'Ibiza A des seins tout pointus Dites jamais que je vous ai dit ça Ou Mélissa me tue...
"Descendez, ça c'est défendu Mater chez les gens!" Elle crie mais bien entendu Y a jamais d'agent... Elle crie, c'est du temps perdu Personne ne l'entend... La police c'est tous des vendus Dix ans qu'elle attend
Mélissa, métisse d'Ibiza A toujours sa vertu Dites jamais que je vous ai dit ça Ou Mélissa me tue...
Ouh! Matez ma métisse Ouh! Ma métisse est nue Ouh! Matez ma métisse Ouh! Ma métisse est nue
Mélissa, métisse d'Ibiza Vit toujours dévêtue Dites jamais que je vous ai dit ça Je vous ai jamais vu
Le matin derrière ses canisses alors je vends des longues-vues Mais si jamais Mélissa sait ça Là, c'est moi qui vous tue...
Ouh! Matez ma métisse Ouh! Ma métisse est nue Ouh! Matez ma métisse Ouh! Ma métisse est nue...

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah The gypsy flies from coast to coast Knowing many, loving none Bearing sorrow, having fun But, back home he'll always run To sweet Melissa Mmmm-hmmm
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same And no one knows the gypsy's name And no one hears his lonely sighs There are no blankets where he lies Lord, in his deepest dreams the gypsy flies With sweet Melissa Mmmm-hmmm
Again, the mornin's come Again, he's on the run A sunbeam's shinin through his hair Fear not to have a care Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on Roll on
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? Lord, Lord Or will you hide the dead man's ghost? Or will he lie, beneath the clay? Or will his spirit float away? But, I know that he won't stay Without Melissa Yes, I know that he won't stay, yeah Without Melissa Lord, Lord, it's all the same Mmmmm-hmmmmm
Lovely lady, falling, laughing down the glory of a rainbow Lovely lady, reaching, crying for the comfort of the day-glow Melinda, more or less, Melinda, more or less, in dreams
But if and when she wakes again she knows it all begins again Sleeping, waking, rising, falling, dumb but calling out to deafened friends That's how it ends, Melinda, more or less, in dreams Melinda, more or less, Melinda, more or less, in dreams
Fade, Melinda, fade into fantasy Tell them you won't be played like any other instrument of fate Fade, Melinda, fade into your fantasy Tell them you're not prepared to wait for your dream of the end Melinda, more or less, in dreams
Lovely lady, falling, laughing down the glory of a rainbow Lovely lady, reaching, screaming for the comfort of the day-glow Melinda, more or less, Melinda, more or less, in dreams

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, whoa-oh, worse than two
It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away

Melinda Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Yves Montand
This is a dream Melinda Just a mirage, so they say This whole affair they all declare Was dreamed every step of the way You're a mere dream, Melinda Out for a gaily loose spin Telling me lies before my eyes of days that never have been There's no Melinda, they say for sure But don't go Melinda I know and you know That you're no mere dream, Melinda Gone when the dawn gleam is through You and I know that long ago before the dream there was you There was, was you
