You think love is a game Love is a motion Endless and so deep Always emotion I've got many ways To reach tomorrow Love will always grow No pain, no sorrow When you take me in your arms You can break me with your heart I feel the magic of your charm Oh, you're tearing me apart
Midnight lady, love takes time Midnight lady, it's hard to find Midnight lady, I call your name I know you can ease my pain Midnight lady, just you and me Midnight lady, eternaly Midnight lady, I can fly in your arms I'll get high
Magic touched my life I'm still dreaming Anything before has lost its meaning Heaven in your eyes My soul is on fire Oh, my feelings grow, we can't go higher Oh, I just want a girl Baby, just to call my own And I just wanna dream I don't have to dream alone
O'Rafferty's Motor Car Composer(s): Tommie Connor Performer(s): Val Doonican
Now Dinny O'Rafferty's motor car is the greatest I declare It's made up of bits and pieces that he's picked up here and there The engine must be ages old, but it's still got lots of power With a gallon of stout in the petrol tank it does ninety miles an hour
What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green On TV and the radio and in every public bar The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car
Now two of the wheels are triangular and the third one's off a pram The fourth is the last remaining wheel from off a Dublin tram The number plate's in Gaelic and the plug's won't even spark And the chassis came off a tinker's cart that collapsed in Phoenix Park
What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green On TV and the radio and in every public bar The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car
Now go for a ride in that motor car and you'll end up with the shakes The road from Cork to Dublin is a vale of pains and aches When traffic lights turn red ahead, then you'd best jump out the door For the moment that Dinny treads on the break, then his foot goes through the floor
What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green On TV and the radio and in every public bar The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car
Now if you could see the upholstery, then your eyes would start to pop It's nothing but empty beer crates with a load of sacks on top The windscreen's gone to Lord knows where and there's mothballs in the horn And I reckon he'd only get half a quid if he took it to the pawn
What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green On TV and the radio and in every public bar The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car
Now Dinny was driving around last week when the engine did the splits It went up in smoke and nearly blew O'Connell Street to bits They searched around for Dinny and found that he'd landed up by heck Away on top of the GPO with his L-plates round his neck
What a wonderful motor car, it's the greatest ever seen It used to be black as me father's hat, now it's forty shades of green On TV and the radio and in every public bar The burning question of the day is O'Rafferty's motor car

Oração De São Francisco Composer(s): Padre Irala Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Senhor, fazei-me instrumento de vossa paz Onde houver ódio que eu leve o amor Onde houver ofensa que eu leve o perdão Onde houver discórdia que eu leve união Onde houver dúvida que eu leve a fé Onde houver erro que eu leve a verdade Onde houver desespero que eu leve a esperança Onde houver tristeza que eu leve alegria Onde houver trevas que eu leve a luz
Oh! Mestre, fazei que eu procure mais Consolar que ser consolado Compreender que ser compreendido Amar que ser amado Pois é dando que se recebe É perdoando que se é perdoado E é morrendo que se vive Para a vida eterna
Midnight Cruiser Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen Originally performed by: Steely Dan
Felonius my old friend Step on in and let me shake your hand So glad that you're here again For one more time Let your madness run with mine Streets still unseen we'll find somehow No time is better than now
Tell me where are you driving Midnight cruiser Where is your bounty Of fortune and fame I am another Gentlemen loser Drive me to Harlem Or somewhere the same
The world that we used to know People tell me it don't turn no more The places we used to go Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before The time of our time has come and gone I fear we been waiting too long
Tell me where are you driving Midnight cruiser Where is your bounty Of fortune and fame I am another Gentlemen loser Drive me to Harlem Or somewhere the same
Opzij Composer(s): Herman van Veen; Erik van der Wurff Performer(s): Herman van Veen
Opzij opzij opzij, maak plaats maak plaats maak plaats Wij hebben ongelofelijke haast Opzij opzij opzij, want wij zijn haast te laat We hebben maar een paar minuten tijd
We moeten rennen, springen, vliegen, duiken, vallen, opstaan en weer doorgaan We kunnen nu niet blijven, we kunnen nu niet langer blijven Een andere keer misschien, dan blijven we wel slapen En kunnen dan misschien als het echt moet Wat over koetjes, voetbal en de lotto praten Nou dag tot ziens, adieu het gaat je goed
We moeten rennen, springen, vliegen, duiken, vallen, opstaan en weer doorgaan We kunnen nu niet blijven, we kunnen nu niet langer blijven Een andere keer misschien, dan blijven we wel slapen En kunnen dan misschien als het echt moet Wat over koetjes, voetbal en de lotto praten Nou dag tot ziens, adieu het gaat je goed
Opus One Composer(s): Sid Garris; Sy Oliver Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
Oh! baby, I'm rackin' my brain, to think of a name To give to this tune, so Perry can croon And maybe old Bing will give it a fling And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing
The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat But if you can swing, it's got a good beat And that's the main thing, to make it complete 'Cause everyone's swingin' today
So we call it Opus One, it's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey Opus One, it's got to swing, not sway, baby
If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned And Ray Anthony could rock it for me There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out Whenever you get near Opus One
Midnight Bus Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk and various other artists
Me and my baby, we got on the midnight bus Pulled out of Durham and left in a cloud of dust Headed for the border of North and South Caroline This time tomorrow she'll be mine
After we had ridden for a while on the midnight bus We fell out and had an awful fuss Said goodbye, I pulled the buzzer chord I got off and the driver slammed the door
Standin' in the highway, holdin' my suitcase tight Watching that midnight bus pull out of sight She's gone, my baby's gone and I'm alone
Left and lost my baby on the midnight bus Left and lost my baby on the midnight bus She's gone, my baby's gone and I'm alone
Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me) Composer(s): Sandy Linzer; Denny Randell Performer(s): Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
I can see There ain't no room for me You're only holdin' up your heart in sympathy If there's another man Then girl I understand Go on and take his hand And don't you worry 'bout me I'll be blue And I'll be cryin' too But girl you know I only want what's best for you What good is all my pride If our true love has died Go on and be his bride And don't you worry 'bout me
I'll be strong I'll try to carry on Although you know it won't be easy when you're gone I'll always think of you The tender love we knew But somehow I'll get through So don't you worry 'bout me Ooo-oo Baby Sweetie pie Before you say goodbye Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry Don't cry alone in pain Don't ever feel ashamed If you want me again Just don't you worry 'bout me I love you No matter what you do I'll spend my whole life waitin' if you want me too And if this is goodbye You know I'd rather die Than let you see me cry 'Cause then you'd worry 'bout me
I'll be strong I'll try to carry on Although you know it won't be easy when your gone I'll always think of you The tender love we knew But somehow I'll get through So don't you worry 'bout me I'll be strong I'll try to carry on Although you know it won't be easy when your gone I'll always think of you The tender love we knew But somehow I'll get through So don't you worry 'bout me
Midnight Blue Composer(s): Carole Bayer Sager; Melissa Manchester Originally performed by: Melissa Manchester Covered by various other artists
Whatever it is, it'll keep 'til the morning Haven't we both got better things to do? Midnight Blue Even though simple things become rough Haven't we had enough?
And I think we can make it One more time If we try... One more time for all the old times
For all of the times you told me you need me Needing me now is something I could use Midnight Blue. Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend? Maybe it's not the end
And I think we can make it One more time If we try... One more time for all the old times
Wouldn't you give your heart to a friend? Think of me as your friend
I think we can make it If we try Looks like we can make it If we try...
Midnight Avenue Performer(s): The Sutherland Brothers Band
In the midnight avenue That's when you think of what's to do Decide it's best to use more force But then it never works out of course
All the things you look upon Just to watch them till they're gone The ones you know you can't afford But still you try to buy with words In the midnight avenue
On a windswept open beach The kind that's always out of reach To meet an ocean where it ends The old eternal poet's friend
Make your peace with what you will Your life depends upon your skill In keeping lovers at your call And sharing each with one and all In the midnight avenue
If your spirit flies away And they tell you it's gone to stay Will you die and call it a day Or will you live a different way
When the crystals smash your brain Will you think of love, oh yeah Will you think of paradise Will you hope it turns out nice In the midnight avenue
Got a Chopin crazy black That took a sleigh ride, oh yeah Gone in the asteroid, oh yeah
All the things you've looked upon Just to watch them till they're gone The ones you know you can't afford But still you try to buy with words In the midnight avenue
Öppna Landskap English Title: Open Landscapes Composer(s): Ulf Lundell Performer(s): Ulf Lundell
Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap,nära havet vill jag bo några månader om året, så att själen kan få ro Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap, där vindarna får fart Där lärkorna slår högt i skyn, och sjunger underbart Där bränner jag mitt brännvin själv, och kryddar med Johannesört och dricker det med välbehag, till sill och hembakt vört Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap, nära havet vill jag bo
Jag trivs bäst i fred och frihet, för både kropp och själ ingen kommer in i min närhet, som stänger in och stjäl Jag trivs bäst när dagen bräcker, och fälten fylls av ljus när tuppar gal på avstånd, när det är långt till närmsta hus Men ändå så pass nära, att en tyst och stilla natt när man sitter under stjärnorna, kan höra festens skratt Jag trivs bäst i fred och frihet, för både kropp och själ
Jag trivs bäst när havet svallar, och måsarna ger skri när stranden fylls med snäckskal, med havsmusik uti När det klara och det enkla, får råda som det vill när ja, är ja, och nej, är nej,och tvivlet tiger still Då binder jag en krans av löv, och lägger den runt närmaste sten där runor ristats för vår skull, nån gång för länge sen Jag trivs bäst när havet svallar, och måsarna ger skri
