Merde À Vauban Composer(s): Pierre Seghers; Léo Ferré Performer(s): Léo Ferré
Bagnard, au bagne de Vauban Dans l'îl' de Ré J'mang' du pain noir et des murs blancs Dans l'îl' de Ré À la vill' m'attend ma mignonn' Mais dans vingt ans Pour ell' je n'serai plus personn' Merde à Vauban
Bagnard, je suis, chaîne et boulet Tout ça pour rien, Ils m'ont serré dans l'îl' de Ré C'est pour mon bien On y voit passer les nuages Qui vont crevant Moi j'vois s'faner la fleur de l'âge Merde à Vauvan
Bagnard, ici les demoiselles Dans l'îl' de Ré S'approch'nt pour voir rogner nos ailes Dans l'îl' de Ré Ah ! Que jamais ne vienne celle Que j'aimais tant Pour elle j'ai manqué la belle Merde à Vauban
Bagnard, la belle elle est là-haut Dans le ciel gris Ell' s'en va derrière les barreaux Jusqu'à Paris Moi j'suis au mitard avec elle Tout en rêvant À mon amour qu'est la plus belle Merde à Vauban
Bagnard, le temps qui tant s'allonge Dans l'îl' de Ré Avec ses poux le temps te ronge Dans l'îl' de Ré Où sont ses yeux où est sa bouche Avec le vent On dirait parfois que j'les touche Merde à Vauban
C'est un p'tit corbillard tout noir Etroit et vieux Qui m'sortira d'ici un soir Et ce s'ra mieux Je reverrai la route blanche Les pieds devant Mais je chant'rai d'en d'ssous mes planch's Merde à Vauban
One More Sunrise German Title: Morgen Composer(s): Karl Mosser; Noel Sherman Performer(s): Petula Clark; Leslie Uggams
One more sunrise One more day to get through One more sunrise One more day without you And false lips that I knew could never be true
One more (one more) sunrise (sunrise) Now the heartaches begin Wond'rin' (wond'rin') wand'rin' (wand'rin') Through the places we've been Hopin' that I can keep my sunny-side grin
Though our love is dead and gone In my heart it still lives on and on Feel like some poor dyin' swan Tired of flyin', tryin', day by day I'm dyin'
One more sunrise One more day we're apart One more sunrise One more daybreak for a breakin' heart
One more sunrise One more daybreak for a brea-a-kin' hear-ear-ear-ear-eart
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy Composer(s): Johnny "Guitar" Watson; Larry Williams; Joe Zawinul Originally performed by: Marlena Shaw
My baby she may not a-look Like one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club But she got somethin' much greater than gold Crazy bout that girl 'cause she got so much soul
I said she got the kind of lovin', kissin' and a-huggin' Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow and I know That she knocks me off my feet Have mercy on me 'Cause she knocks me off my feet There is no girl in the whole world That can love me like you do
My baby when she walks by All the fellows go mmmm, and I know why It's simply 'cause that girl she looks so fine And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind [repeat chorus]
Everybody in the neighborhood Will testify that my girl she looks so good She's so fine she'd give eyesight to the blind And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind [repeat chorus]
Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel, yeah, it's all right Mercy, mercy, mercy
One More Sign Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield
No, I'm not gonna to hide my feelings Couldn't if I tried No, I'm not holding them inside Holding back is so close to stealing Though we both have tried We could lose it all if we lied
Someday it's later than The feelings we have now It's of the ground I've always played around But now I don't know how
Listen easy because I'm saying What I mean this time Sharing words I always said were mine I was breezy, now I'm swaying Like the tree we climbed Asking you to give me one more sign
Mercy Mercy Me (Ecology) Composer(s): Marvin Gaye Originally performed by: Marvin Gaye Covered by various other artists
Woo ah, mercy mercy me Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury Ah oh mercy, mercy me Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no Radiation under ground and in the sky Animals and birds who live nearby are dying Oh mercy, mercy me Ah things ain't what they used to be What about this overcrowded land How much more abuse from man can she stand?

One More Saturday Night Composer(s): Bob Weir; Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead; Bees Make Honey; Kingfish; David Murray; The Persuasions
I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight
Chorus Uh huh, hey, Saturday night One more Saturday night Hey, Saturday night
Everybody's dancing down at the local armory With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery Temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly
[chorus]
I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news Says I got no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues His wife says don't get crazy, Lord you know what to do Just crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes
[chorus]
Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth Thought he'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it planet earth Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes When the rocking, rolling music meets the rising, shining sun
Ik Kreeg Toen De Schuld Van Jou Composer(s): P. Kartner Performer(s): Corry Konings
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen Jij hebt mij geluk gebracht Nooit had ik er aan gedacht Dat het ooit nog stuk zou gaan Kijk mij eenmaal aan
Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer trug wil zien Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij
Waarom ging die droom voorbij Want jij houd niet meer van mij Niets was mooier op deez aard Niets was toch meer waard
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen
Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer trug wil zien Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij
Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw Toch liet jij mij hier alleen Waar moet ik nou heen Waar moet ik nou heen
One More Red Nightmare Composer(s): Robert Fripp; Richard Palmer-James; John Wetton Performer(s): King Crimson; Realm
Pan American nightmare Ten thousand feet fun-fair Convinved that I dont care Its safe as houses I swear I was just sitting musing The virtues of cruising When altitude dropping My ears started popping One more red nightmare
Sweat beginning to pour down My neck as I turn round I heard fortune shouting Just get off of this outing A farewell swan song See you know how turbulence can be The stewardess made me One more red nightmare
Reality stirred me My angel had heard me The prayer had been answered A reprieve has been granted The dream was now broken Thought rudely awoken Really safe and sound Asleep on the greyhound One more red nightmare
Mercy Mercy Composer(s): Don Covay; Ronald Dean Miller Originally performed by: Don Covay & the Goodtimers Covered by various other artists
Have mercy, have mercy, baby Have mercy, have mercy on me Well I went to see the gypsy To have my fortune read She said "Man, your baby gonna leave you Her bags are packed up under the bed" That's right

Please give me one more night, give me that one more night Oh one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever Please give me one more night, just give me that one more night Oh one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
I've been sitting here so long, just wasting time, just staring at the phone And I was wondering, should I call you, then I thought, maybe you're not alone
Oh please give me one more night, just give me that one more night One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever Please give me one more night, just give me that one more night One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever Just give me one more night, give me that one more night Just one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
Like a river to the sea, I will always be with you And if you said a word, I would follow you
To give me one more night, just give me that one more night One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same And I know it's only words But if you change your mind, you know that I'll be he And maybe we both can learn

Non andare via Puoi dimenticare Tutto quello che, se n'è andato già Tutti i malintesi, e tulti i perchè Che uccidevano, la felicità Puoi dimenticare, tutto il tempo che E passato già, non esiste più Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via Non andare via Io io ti offriro Perle di pioggia venute da dove non piove mai Apriro la terra giù fino nel fondo Per coprirti d'oro, d'oro e di luce E ti portero, dove non c'è più Che quel che tu vuoi, che quel che tu cerchi Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via Non andare via Non andare via Per te inventero Le parole pazze, che tu capirai E ti parlero, di due amanti che Per due volte già, hanno visto il fuoco Ti raccontero, la storia di un re, che mori perchè Non li vide mai Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via Nel vulcano spento, che credevi morto Molte volte il fuoco è rinato ancora Ed il fuoco brucia, tutto quanto intorno E non riconosce, niente e nessuno E quando c'è sera, e c'è il fuoco in cielo Il rosso ed il nero, non hanno un confine Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via Non andare via Non andare via Io non piango più, io non parlo più, mi nascondero E ti guardero, quando riderai e ti sentiro, quando canterai Saro solo l'ombra, della tua ombra Della tua mano, l'ombra del tuo cuore Non andare via, non andare via Non andare via

(French Version: Jésus Bambino - 1971)
Composer(s): Paola Pallottino; Lucio Dalla
First release by: Lucio Dalla - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Dice che era un bell'uomo e veniva, veniva dal mare... parlava un'altra lingua... però sapeva amare
e quel giorno lui prese mia madre sopra un bel prato.. l'ora più dolce prima di essere ammazzato
Così lei restò sola nella stanza la stanza sul porto con l'unico vestito ogni giorno più corto
e benché non sapesse il nome e neppure il paese m'aspetto' come un dono d'amore fino dal primo mese
Compiva sedici anni quel giorno la mia mamma le strofe di taverna le cantò a ninna nanna!
e stringendomi al petto che sapeva sapeva di mare giocava a far la donna col bimbo da fasciare
E forse fu per gioco o forse per amore che mi volle chiamare come nostro signore
Della sua breve vita, il ricordo il ricordo più grosso e' tutto in questo nome che io mi porto addosso
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte e bevo vino per la gente del porto mi chiamo Gesù bambino
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte e bevo vino per la gente del porto mi chiamo Gesù bambino
One More Kiss, Dear Composer(s): Peter Skellern; Vangelis Performer(s): Vangelis; Badi Assad; Riccardo Eberspacher; New American Orch.; Space 2000
One more kiss, dear One more sigh Only this, dear It's goodbye For our love is such pain And such pleasure And I'll treasure till I die So for now, dear Aurevoir, madame
But I'm how-d'ye, not farewell For in time we may have a love's glory Our love story to tell
Just as every autumn Leaves fall from the tree Tumble to the ground and die So in the springtime Like sweet memories They will return as will I Like the sun, dear Upon high We'll return, dear To the sky And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow Until tomorrow goodbye one more kiss, dear One more sigh Only this, dear Is goodbye For our love is such passion And such pleasure And I'll treasure till I die
Like the sun, dear Upon high We'll return, dear To the sky And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow Until tomorrow goodbye

One More Day Composer(s): Sid Tepper; Roy C. Bennett Performer(s): Mickey Shaughnessy
I'm up in the mornin' with the risin' sun I work like a slave till the day is done Just workin' and sleepin' and nothin' more And ev'ry day is just like the day before
One more day One more day One day older and nearer to my Lord One more day
Listen to the prayer of a lonely man Livin' day by day the best he can Give me the strength to carry my load Glory waits for me at the end of the road
One more day One more day One day older and nearer to my Lord One more day
De nos tanières de draps blancs De nos gravats mangés en rêves De notre pain de temps en temps Et de nos miettes marche ou crève Avec la vie au beau milieu Et puis la faim qui nous soulève Nous te disons merci mon dieu
De nos salaires raccourcis Et qui rallongent notre gêne De l'or qui pousse au quat'jeudis De nos éternelles semaines Avec la rage au beau milieu Et puis l'envie qui nous malmène Nous te disons merci mon dieu
De notre terre à ciel perdu De nos fusils à cicatrices De nos enfants qui n'ont pas pû Éloigner d'eux l'amer calice Avec la guerre au beau milieu Et puis le héros qui s'y glisse Nous te disons merci mon dieu
Des chevaux d'avoine posthumes Qui traînent leurs derniers convois Des chiens perdus que l'on transhume Vers leurs derniers pipis de croix Avec la mort au beau milieu Et la pitié qui nous consumme Nous te disons merci mon dieu
De cette croix du Golghota Qui crucifie tant de poitrines Et de ton fils qui n'a fait ça Que pour la peau et les épines Avec l'amour au beau milieu Et puis ton ciel qu'on imagine Nous te disons pourquoi mon dieu
One More Day Composer(s): James Pankow; Carmen Grillo Performer(s): Chicago
Listen to the wind Hear the voice inside you Something in the air Something you've been blind to People everywhere are dying to be free Time has come to live our lives in harmony
Chorus: Give the children of the world one more day Give the children of the world, give them one more day
Where do we begin? When will freedom find us? Bring the new day in Free the chains that bind us People reaching out for just a little more Love is all we need to open up the door
Chorus
Now the future's up to you Take a stand and see things thru For the children of tomorrow Give the world one more day Time enough to find a way To start over a way to go on
One more day One more day Give the children of the world One more day One more day One more day Give the children of tomorrow One more day
