Here the roar a coming
Here the roar a coming
Here the roar a coming now

Got news for your mother
Got news for your mother
Got news for your mother tonight

Sister I have touched the evergreen
And I promise that it's life should go unseen
Now it says the birds upon the fire
And the message from the country rises higher

Hear the birdie calling
Hear the birdie calling
Hear the birdie calling for life

Message from the country
Message from the country
Message from the country rising high

Sister I have touched the evergreen
And I promise that it's life should go unseen
Now it says the birds upon the fire
And the message from the country rises higher

One Step Closer
Composer(s): Keith Knudsen; John McFee; Carlene Carter
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



Baby, there’s a chance you ought to take
Chance of a mistake you gotta make
Maybe I’m mistaken too
To take my chance with you
I need you like a shadow needs a light
I’ll follow you like morning follows night
When nothin’s left ahead of you
I’ll be right behind you
Shadows disappear at night
We both know it’s a shame if you should lose one
Why is it so hard to find
Tell me that you’re right there too

One step baby
Two steps maybe
One step closer
I’ll be next to you

Baby, it’s a secret I can’t keep
Trouble comes and suddenly you’re weak
I don’t believe you got the strength
To fight this kind of love
I know it’s risky now and then
What with all the what ifs and the whens
Who is there to say we’re wrong - to tell us it can’t be
Come on, baby, please don’t go
I’m no heart of stone and you know
Why is it so hard to do
Tell me that you’re right there too, baby

Baby, can’t you see we’re runnin’ late
Can’t you see we ain’t got time to wait
Might be that you’re scared of me
Of something you might feel
Hold on to me, baby, hold on tight
I can take us through the night all right
Maybe I will stay here too
Take my chance with you

Shadows disappear at night
We both know it’s a shame if you should lose one
Why is it so hard to find
Tell me that you’re right there too

One step baby
Two steps maybe
One step closer

Message From A Black Man
Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): The Tempations
and various other artists



Melvin: 
Yes, my skin is black
But that's no reason to hold me back

Eddie: 
Why don't you think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it
Think about it...
I have wants and desires
Just like you
So move on the side
'Cause I'm comin' through, oh!

Temptations: 
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

Eddie and Temptations: 
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now, oooh...

Melvin: 
Yes, your skin is white...
Does that make you right?

Eddie: Why don't you think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it
Think about it...
This is a message
A message to y'all
Together we stand
Divided we fall, oh!

Dennis: 
Black is a color
Just like white
Tell me how can a color determine whether
You're wrong or right
We all have our faults...
Yes we do

Eddie: 
So look in your mirror

Temptations: Look in the mirror

Eddie: What do you see?

Temptations: What do you see?

Eddie: Two eyes

Temptations: 
Two eyes

Eddie: 
A nose, and a mouth just like me, oh!

Eddie: 
Your eyes are open
But you refuse to see
The laws of society
Were made for both you and me
Because of my color
I struggle to be free
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But in the end
You're gonna' see my friend, oh!

Temptations: 
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(chorus repeated several times through music, or "the bridge")

(after a few minutes, above chorus is repeated
as song nears end, and then...)

Temptations: 
Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

Temptations: 
Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

Temptations: 
Say it!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

Temptations: 
Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

Temptations: 
Say it loud!

Dennis: 
I'm black and I'm proud!

Temptations: 
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

Temptations: 
Say it loud!

Dennis: 
I'm black and I'm proud!

Temptations: 
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

One Small Photograph
Composer(s): Kevin Shegog
Performer(s): Rex & Noelene Franklin
and various other artists



Heartaches and sad dreams
Take away the moonbeams
Memories that made me so blue
All I have to cheer me
I always keep it near me
One small photograph of you

I've got lots of money
And things you gave me, honey
I've got a house and a Cadillac or two
If my fortune lessens
I'l1 be satisfied possessin'
One small photograph of you

Take away the sad dreams
Bring back the moonbeams
Come back my darling and stay
If you say you'll love me
By all the stars above me
I'll put my little photograph away

I've got lots of money
And things you gave me, honey
I've got a house and a Cadillac or two
If my fortune lessens
I'll be satisfied possessin'
One small photograph of you

Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Mes yeux sont fous

Ou mes yeux sont fous
Ou là, devant moi
C'est la fille que j'aime
Et, dans ses bras, c'est mon meilleur ami
Mais non, je ne peux croire ça

Ça me ferait trop mal
Elle ne ferait pas ça
Ça me ferait trop mal
Elle ne dirait pas ça, pas ça

Mon amour, mon amour, mon amour

Ou mes yeux sont fous
Ou la vie me joue un tour
Mais pourquoi me faire ça
Je veux si peu
Je demandais qu'elle m'aime un peu
Mais c'était beaucoup

Leurs lèvres qui se cherchent
Ça me ferait trop mal
Et ces mots qu'elle lui crie
Ça me ferait trop mal, trop mal

Mon amour, mon amour, mon amour

Cet ami qui trahit
Ça me ferait trop mal
Cette fille qui m'oublie
Ça me ferait trop mal
Mes yeux se sont trompés
Mes yeux sont fous
Oh, non ce n'est pas vrai
Ce n'est pas vrai

One Rainy Wish
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix

Phil Brown; Eugene Chadbourne; Brian May



Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
Never to grow old
There you were under a tree of song, sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played, waiting there for me
I have never laid eyes on you
Not before this timeless day
But you woke and you smiled my name
And you stole my heart away
Stole my heart away little girl
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
Never to grow old
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago,
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, gold and rose
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
It's only a dream but I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across the rainbows above me and you
Gold and rose, the color of the velvet walls that surrounds us

Mes Souvenirs, Mes Seize Ans
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Le Calypso Bar du Square de la Trinité
En a vu passer des stars de quartier
Mais ils ont tell'ment rêvé tout éveillés
Le hasard, la magie les a réalisés
Jacques Dutronc ne pensait pas encore à Hardy
Long Chris confondait diligence et taxi
Jean-Philippe Smet ignorait tout de Johnny
Et piquait mes disques dans les surprises-parties
Mes seize ans brûlent encore dans mes souvenirs
Des clichés qui n'arrivent pas à mourir
Les premiers blousons T-shirts et jean délavés
Les premiers rockers légendaires et pionniers
Gene Vincent qui pleurait sur "Ba Baby Blue"
On aimait tout ça et passait pour des fous
Mes seize ans brûlent encore dans mes souvenirs
Des clichés qui n'arrivent pas à mourir
Ma première guitare s'est brisée dès le premier jour
J's'rai pas musicien, mais chanteur faut d'l'humour
Nostalgie tu reviens un peu trop souvent rôder
Parfois tu fais mal mais comment t'oublier
Mes seize ans brûlent encore dans mes souvenirs
Des clichés qui n'arrivent pas à mourir
Mes seize ans brûlent encore dans mes souvenirs
Des clichés qui n'arrivent pas à mourir

One Piece At A Time
Composer(s): Wayne Kemp
Performer(s): Johnny Cash;
and various other artists



Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand

CHORUS 
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive ever'body wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now I never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home

Now up to now my plan went allright
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an adaptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin"

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear ever'body laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds

Chorus
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive ever'body wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around

(Spoken) 
Ugh! Yow, Red Ryder
This is the Cotton Mouth
In the Psycho-Billy Cadillac
Come on
Huh
This is the Cotton Mouth
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there Red Ryder
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55
'56 '57, '58' 59' Automobile
(Fade) 
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67 
'68, '69, '70 Automobile

Mes Premières Vraies Vacances
Composer(s): Jacques Datin; Maurice Vidalin
Performer(s): France Gall



Mes premières vraies vacances
J'en rêvais depuis longtemps
Et cette année j'ai la chance
De partir sans mes parents
Ce n'est pas que ma famille
Soit vraiment collet monté
Mais moi je suis grande fille
J'ai besoin de liberté

Fini de toujours dire où l'on est
Fini la trempette où l'on à pied
Fini de s'habiller pour dîner
Bien fini
J'aurai le droit de marcher nus pieds
J'aurai le droit d'être décoiffée
J'aurai le droit d'aller me baigner
Sans bonnet

Mes premières vraies vacances
Moi je veux en profiter
Pour sortir de mon enfance
Par les portes de l'été
Mes premières vraies vacances
Comme elles me semblaient loin
Et voilà qu'elles commencent
Je serai là-bas demain

Faudra que je me trouve un garçon
Faudra qu'il danse comme un champion
Faudra qu'il soit pas trop polisson
Faudrait pas
D'accord pour la ballade en bateau
D'accord pour qu'il m'offre des gâteaux
D'accord mais s'il m'en demande trop
Pas d'accord

Mes premières vraies vacances
Je ne veux pas les gâcher
En écoutant ces romances
Qu'il ne chante qu'un été
Car je pense, quand j'y pense
Que c'est trop pour quinze jours
Des premières vraies vacances
Et un premier grand amour
Des premières vraies vacances
Et un premier grand amour.....

One Particular Harbour
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Bobby Holcomb
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



"We're going to that one particular harbour
Take our Caribbean roots with us, huh? 
You certainly look dressed for the occasion"
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

I know I don't get there often enough
But God knows I surely try
It's a magic kind of medicine
That no doctor could prescribe

I used to rule my world from a pay phone
Ships out on the sea
But now times are rough
Oh I got too much stuff
I can't explain the likes of me

Chorus:
But there's this one particular harbor
So far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
Finally disappear

But now I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In my younger days I was so bad
Laughin' about all the fun we've had

I seen enough to feel the world spin
Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Lakes below the mountain
Flow into the sea
Like oils applied to canvas
Oh how they permeate through me

But there's this one particular harbor
Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe within

A most mysterious calling harbor
So far but yet so near
Where I can see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

(Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)

Mes Mains Sur Tes Hanches
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Sois pas fachée si je te chante les souvenirs de mes quinze ans
Ne boude pas c'que tu es absente de mes rêveries d'adolescent
Ces amourettes insignifiantes ont preparé un grand amour
Et c'est pourquoi je te les chante et les présentant tour à tour

Mais laisse mes mains sur tes hanches
Ne fais pas ses yeux furibond
Oui, tu l'auras ta revanche: tu seras ma dernière chanson

Dans chaque fille que j'ai connu, c'est un peu toi que je cherchais
Quand, dans mes bras, je t'ai tenu, moi je tremblais, je comprenais
Que tu est sortie d'une fâble pour venir habiter mon rêve
Et ce serait bien regrettable que notre amour ainsi s'achève
Oui, se serait bien regrettable que notre amour ainsi s'achève

Mais laisse mes mains sur tes hanches
Ne fais pas ses yeux furibond
Oui, tu l'auras ta revanche: tu seras ma dernière chanson

Laisse mes mains sur tes hanches
Ne fais pas ses yeux furibond
Oui, tu l'auras ta revanche: tu seras ma dernière chanson

One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen;
Drunk; Harvey Milk



I lit a thin green candle
To make you jealous of me
But the room just filled up with mosquitoes
They heard that my body was free
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
And I put it in your little shoe
Then I confess that I tortured the dress
That you wore for the world to look through

I showed my heart to the doctor
He said I'd just have to quit
Then he wrote himself a prescription
And your name was mentioned in it
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
With the details of our honeymoon
and I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse
and his practice is all in a ruin

I heard of a saint who had loved you
So I studied all night in his school
He taught that the duty of lovers
Is to tarnish the golden rule
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
He drowned himself in the pool
His body is gone, but back here on the lawn
His spirit continues to drool

An Eskimo showed me a movie
He'd recently taken of you
The poor man could hardly stop shivering
His lips and his fingers were blue
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
And I guess he just never got warm
But you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
O please let me come into the storm

Mes Mains
Composer(s): Gilbert Bécaud; Pierre Délanoë
Originally performed by: Gilbert Bécaud
Covered by: Gérard Darmon



Mes mains
Dessinent dans le soir
La forme d'un espoir
Qui ressemble à ton corps

Mes mains
Quand elles tremblent de fièvre
C'est de nos amours brèves
Qu'elles se souviennent encore

Mes mains
Caressent dans leurs doigts
Des riens venant de toi
Cherchant un peu de joie

Mes mains
Se tendent en prière
Vers ton ombre légère
Disparue dans la nuit

Mes mains
Elles t'aiment à la folie
D'un amour infini
Elles t'aiment pour la vie

As-tu déjà effacé ce passé qui m'obsède?
As-tu déjà oublié que ces mains ont tout donné?

Mes mains
Qui voudraient caresser
Un jour seront lassées
D'attendre ton retour

Mes mains
Elles iront te chercher
Là où tu t'es cachée
Avec un autre amour

Mes mains
Méprisant les prières
Trembleront de colère
Et je n'y pourrai rien

Mes mains
Pour toujours dans la nuit
Emporteront ta vie
Mais puisque tu le sais

Reviens
Et tout comme autrefois
Elles frémiront pour toi
Dans la joie retrouvée

Reviens
Ne les repousse pas
Ces mains tendues vers toi
Et donne-leur tes mains

One Of Those Songs
Composer(s): Gerard Calvi; Will Holt
Performer(s): Jimmy Durante;
and various other artists



Well, this is one of those songs 
that you hear now and then
You don't know just where and you don't know just when
It's one of those songs that are over and then
It's one of those songs that starts playing again

Yes, it's one of those songs that you hear for awhile
That come into fashion, then go out of style
It's one of those songs that you think you forgot
But it's one of those songs you cannot

Because it's one of those songs that can make you recall
A ride in the springtime, a walk in the fall
A day in the country, a night on the town
The sun coming up or the rain coming down

Or else the evening you parted, the morning you met
The love of your life you can never forget
The reason is simple, the memory belongs
To one of those wonderful songs

Well, this is one of those songs that's so easy to hear
You listen just once, and you play it by ear
It's hummed on verandas and strummed on guitars
And all you remember is "lah-dah-dah-dah"

But later on you recall it in some other year
You may start to smile or you may shed a tear
You'll find that a part of your lifetime belongs
To one of those wonderful songs

Fluister In Mijn Oren

Fluister, fluister in mijn oren

Men zegt,wij zijn te jong voor de liefde
men zegt dat wij daarvan nog niets verstaan
maar ach het laat me koud wat ze zeggen
ik trek me van de mensen toch niets aan

Fluister, fluister in mijn oren
niemand hoeft het toch te horen
wanneer jij me zegt, zachtjes tot me zegt
dat jou liefde groot is en oprecht

wij blijven steeds bijeen
't is een groot geheim van ons alleen
't is een groot geheim van ons alleen

Come here, baby
Let me wrap you around my fingers
I want you so much
And love's just a touch away
So touch me, baby
And you'll feel a man on fire
Just hold on to me
'Cause it's gonna be one of those nights

Oh one of those nights
When love has us right in its hands
Oh here in the dark
What you do to my heart
Woman, your wonder don't end
And it's one of those nights
One of those nights again

Darling, I know
I know this ain't no time for talking
But you know I've just got to tell you
I just have to tell you
How I feel right now
And I wanna say, baby, you're something
And I'm wrapped around your finger
I want you again
'Cause I'm so far into one of those nights

Oh one of those nights
When love has us right in its hands
Oh here in the dark
What you do to my heart
Woman, your wonder don't end
And it's one of those nights
One of those nights again

Blijf je bij mij of is alles nu voorbij

Toen geloofde ik jouw lieve woorden
En nu dat je mij vandaag hier zo laat staan
Wat zin heeft mijn leven nog voortaan

Waar ga je heen oh ik kan niet zonder jou
Voor het leven had ik jou gekozen
En niemand, nee niemand zal jou ooit verstaan
Daarom zeg me wat heb ik misdaan

One Of These Things First
Composer(s): Nick Drake
Performer(s): Nick Drake;
Eugene Chadbourne; Chris Gestrin



I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first

I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend
A whole long lifetime could have been the end
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first

I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first
