Midnight, The Stars And You
Composer(s): Jimmy Campbell; Reginald Connelly; Harry Woods
Performer(s): Al Bowlly & Ray Noble;
Jay Epstein; Hal Kemp



Midnight, with the stars and you
Midnight, and a rendezvous
Your eyes held a message tender
Saying, "I surrender all my love to you"

Midnight brought us sweet romance
I know all my whole life through
I'll be remembering you
Whatever else I do
Midnight with the stars and you

O-Rhesus-Negativ
Performer(s): Udo Lindenberg



Es war Mitternacht, ich ging spazieren
da bemerkte ich
ein Finstermann mit 'm grossen Hut
verfolgte mich
und dann sprach er mich an
schmatzend und mit knirschenden Zähnen
"Ach, würden Sie wohl so freundlich sein
und Ihre Blutgruppe mal erwähnen!"

Ich dachte mir, das ist 'n Vampir
da muß man vorsichtig sein
ich sagte: "Moment, ich guck' mal eben in meinen Ausweis rein"
0-Rhesus-Negativ. Da verzog er sein Gesicht
und meinte: "So 'n Mist, ausgerechnet diese Sorte vertrag' ich nicht!"

Um ihn zu trösten, lud ich ihn ein
auf ein Glas Bier
doch er meinte, das wär' für ihn kein Plaisier
"Es muß schon dieser rote Spezialsaft sein
Es gibt nur ein Getränk, das find' ich gut, und das ist Blut!"

Wir unterhielten uns noch ganz prima
über Klima, Gott und die Welt
und er erzählte mir von seinem Vampirleben
und daß es ihm gut gefällt
er sagt': "Ich brauch' nicht zu malochen
jeden Tag ins Büro zu laufen
am Tag schlaf' ich in meinem Sarg
und nachts geh' ich mich besaufen!"

Ja, wenn das so ist, möchte ich auch Vampir sein
da sagt' er: "Reichen Sie doch mal 'n Antrag
beim transsilvanischen Prüfamt ein
dazu brauchen Sie aber vom Zahnarzt 'n Tauglichkeitsschein
denn wenn die Beisser zu kurz sind
kommen Sie nie rein in unseren Verein!"

Midnight Voyage
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas



On a midnight voyage
One that has no ending
And it's sending me
The things that I need

Far away from shore
Further than I've been before
But I feel the strength of the new sea

Dreams come and go
And I sift through them
Love starts to glow
From the thoughts that I find within them

On a midnight voyage
Searching for my pleasure
Reaching with my mind for something I've dreamed

Loves come and go
And I dream through them
Dreams start to flow
From the love that I find within them

On a midnight voyage
One that has no ending
And it's sending me
Right into my mind

On a midnight voyage!

Come on let's take a midnight voyage
Let me take you on a little trip
Come on, come on
Whoa-whoa-woah, come on
Would you dare to take a little journey
All aboard, all ashore
At your leasure take a pleasure trip
On shore, ashore
Everybody needs a pleasure trip

Orgullo De Metal
Composer(s): Marco Antonio Solís
Performer(s): Raphael



Que me conoces
Le cuentas a todos
Que no he parado por ti
De llorar

Y hasta presumes
Que pronto estare
Muriendome por querer
Regresar

Dices que esto
Es solo un escarmiento
Para que no se me vaya
A olvidar

Que en cosas de sentimientos
Yo soy
La vieja barca
Y tu eres el mar

Mira hasta donde te traiciono
Tu orgullo de metal
Tu ausencia es el remedio
Que precisaba para mi mal

Mira que te han fallado
Las predicciones que hiciste en mi
Y si eres adivina, a ver, adivina
A quien tengo aqui

Mira hasta donde te traiciono
Tu orgullo de metal
Tu ausencia es el remedio
Que precisaba para mi mal

Midnight Train To Georgia
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips



L.A. proved too much for the man
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know
He said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago
He's leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
He kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So he pawned all his hopes 
and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would
Be leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
Go, gonna board, gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
(repeat)

Orgullecida
Composer(s): Eliseo Silveira
Performer(s): Compay Segundo; Ry Cooder



Orgullecida estoy de ser divina
Y de tener tan linda perfección
Tal vez será que soy alabastrina
Serán los filtros reinos del amor

Luego vendrán los celos del cariño
De aquel volcán de llama tentadora
Y tú podrás lograr que yo te quiera
Porque tú has sido mi única ilusión

Midnight To Six Man
Composer(s): Bobby Graham; Dick Taylor
Originally performed by: The Pretty Things

I'll never see
The people I know
In the bright lights of day
So how can I say
That you're any friend of mine
See you any time
I'm feelin' fine
Midnight till six
Well that's my time
That's your time

Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six

I sleep through the day
I wake around four
But I always feel down
Never get off the floor
Till the night comes around
See you downtown
Yeah take in some sound
Baby we'll score
Oh tell me some more
Tell him some more

See you downtown
Yeah take in some sound
Baby we'll score
Oh tell me some more
Tell him some more

Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six

Orgone Accumulator
Composer(s): Dave Brock; Robert Calvert
Performer(s): Hawkwind;
Pop Will Eat Itself; ST 37; Nik Turner



I've got an orgone accumulator
It makes me feel greater
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator 

It's no social integrator
It's a one man isolator
It's a back brain stimulator
It's a cerebral vibrator

Those energy stimulators
Just turn your eyeballs into craters
But an orgone accumulator
Is a superman creator

It's no social integrator
It's a one man isolator
It's a back brain stimulator
It's a cerebral vibrator

I've got an orgone accumulator
And it makes me feel greater
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator

Midnight Sun
Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Lionel Hampton; Johnny Mercer
Originally performed by: Lionel Hampton
Covered by various other artists



Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
Warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
Rising to a snowy height

Each star it's own aurora borealis
Suddenly you held me tight
And I could see the Midnight Sun

I can't explain the silver rain that found me
Or was that a moonlight veil?
The music of the universe around me
Or was that a nightingale?

And then your arms miraculously found me
Suddenly the sky turned pale 
I could see the Midnight Sun

Was there ever such a night?
It's a thrill I still don't quite believe
But after you were gone
There was still the stardust on my sleeve

The flame of it may dwindle to an ember
And the stars forget to shine
And we may see the meadow in  December
Icy white and crystalline

But oh my darling always I'll remember
When your lips were close to mine
And we saw the Midnight Sun

Organ Blues
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): Tyrannosaurus Rex



There's gold in the mountains
And a people living in the sea

I love you and don't you know
That you love me

Yes you do

We make feasties of the beasties
But the beasties just live in the wild

You know that you're slower now
And you were faster when you were a child

Yes you were

Midnight Sun
Composer(s): Pete Ham
Performer(s): Badfinger



Oh no
Oh no
I think it's time for me to run
Well I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come
And if you feel like reminiscing - well come into the midnight sun
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I think I've been away too long
Well I've been coming and I'm going
All the time is growing with fun
And if you feel like something's missing
Well come into the midnight sun
Never be a gooseberry for gooseberries should never see it
Drop the one who's looking at you
Looking at the one who's seeing
you be it
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I think I've been away too long
Well I've been waiting all the summer - counting all the trophies I've won
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun
Oh no
Oh no 
I think it's time for me to run
Well I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun
And if you feel like something's missing
Well come into the midnight sun
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun

Ordinary People
Composer(s): George Posford; Eric Maschwitz
Performer(s): George Formby



You know Sally
when I was just a kid like all the others did
I used to dream a out my life's ambition
In turn I planned to be, aye, a sailor on the sea
A crook, a boy scout or even a politician
But here I am with all the dreams I've had
An ordinary chap but still I'm glad

Ordinary people like you and me, happy and contented as we can be
We can walk on air on our ordinary feet
Strolling hand in hand along an ordinary street
Ordinary people are we until, the ordinary time of day is through
And when the ordinary moon - is in the ordinary sky
What extraordinary things we'll do

I had my dreams as well, though they're not much to tell
My schoolgirl head was filled with idle fancies!
But most of all by far I longed to be a star
The heroine of Hollywood romances!
But here I am with nothing as I planned 
An ordinary girl and gee, it's grand!

Ordinary people like you and me, happy and contented as we can be
We can walk on air on our ordinary feet
Strolling hand in hand along an ordinary street
Ordinary people are we until, the ordinary time of day is through
And when the ordinary moon - is in the ordinary sky
What extraordinary things we'll do
What extraordinary things we'll do

Midnight Show
Composer(s): Ron Dante; Gene Allan
Performer(s): Ron Dante



The days will be lonely and the nights so long
But don't you know they're playin' my song
Got myself together and I'm due in L.A.
It's killin' me to leave ya
But I just can't stay

Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me

Don't cry for me, you'll make me cry too
Be glad for me, it's all I wanna do
It's what my life's about, it's all that I know
Come lay beside me once more before I go

Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me

We had just a moment, still there's no time to spend
I've got to see what happens, see it through to the end
I'm torn between my music, girl, and my love for you
Oh, I'd give the whole thing up now, if you asked me to
Please don't ask me to

Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me

Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me ...

Ordinary Man
Composer(s): Rik Emmett; Michael Levine; Gil Moore
Performer(s): Triumph



Look in the mirror tell me what do you see
Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me
Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right
Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night
You want to think you're different, but you know you never can
You're just another ordinary man

Hey politician, can't believe a word you say
Almighty media, whose truth d'you sell today?
Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you?
Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to?
The more I get to see, the less I understand
I'm just another ordinary man

Chorus:
Ordinary man
Comes a time to take a stand

No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can
The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman
Everybody plays the game they played since time began
Lawyers and accountant - your media man

Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said
You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head
I see the flash of lightnin'
I hear the thunder roll
A hungry knive, a slice of life
It cuts another soul

Power finds a way to those who take a stand
Stand up ordinary man

Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free
But now I feel the chains of its responsibility
I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe
I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith
I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can
That's the only answer ... for an ordinary man

Chorus

No such thing as easy answers
You play to win and you take your chances

Chorus

Here's to health, here's to wealth
May you never doubt yourself

Chorus

Midnight Rocks
Composer(s): Al Stewart; Peter White
Performer(s): Al Stewart



You say with best intention 
Let's throw away convention 
Set sail across the water 
To find the tides of fortune 
I say please understand it 
Don't let our love be stranded 
Upon the midnight rocks 
Upon the midnight rocks 

You say there's no endeavour 
We couldn't try together 
No storm we couldn't weather 
We'll ride the wind forever 
I hear the words you've spoken 
Don't let our love be broken 
Upon the midnight rocks 
Upon the midnight rocks 

Ah, you know you know it's easy 
Ah, to let it go believe me 
Ah, you know, you know you feel it 
Ah, don't lose it when you need it 

I know that fascination 
With living each sensation 
In your imagination 
There is no hesitation 
I know your mind is turning 
Don't let our love lie burning 
Upon the midnight rocks 
Upon the midnight rocks 

I know that fascination 
With living each sensation 
In your imagination 
There is no hesitation 
I say please understand it 
Don't let our love be stranded 
Upon the midnight rocks

Orchids In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Edward Eliscu; Vincent Youmans
Performer(s): Rudy Vallée;
and various other artists



When orchids bloom in the moonlight
And lovers vow to be true
I still can dream in the moonlight
Of one dear night that we knew

When orchids fade in the dawning
They speak of tears and good-bye
Though my dreams are shattered
Like the petals scattered
Still my love can never die

There is peace in the twilight
When the day is through
But the shadows that fall
Only seem to recall
All my longing for you

There is a dream in the moonbeams
Upon the sea of blue
But the moonbeams that fall
Only seem to recall
Love is all, love is you

Midnight Rider 
Composer(s): Gregg Allman; Robert Payne
Originally performed by: The Allman Brothers Band
Covered by various other artists



Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding 
And I'm bound to keep on riding 
And I've got one more silver dollar 
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no 
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider 

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing 
And the road goes on forever 
And I've got one more silver dollar 
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no 
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider 

And I've gone by the point of caring 
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing 
And I've got one more silver dollar 

(Repeat three times) 
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no 
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider

Orchard Road
Composer(s): Leo Sayer; Alan Tarney
Performer(s): Leo Sayer



To tell the truth it's really such a sad affair
Standing here waiting in the cold night air
But I've got to make this call
'Cause my heart is breaking

I hear the bips drop a coin in the slot
Has it been that long
I thought you'd forgotten me
Well I know that it's getting late
But I just couldn't wait

Will I have the nerve to say
I just wanna come back
You shouldn't just go away
I just wanna come back

I've been struck by such a bad luck
I need a place a little happiness and some love
I think I can see it now
Now let me paint the picture

It's twelve o'clock and the curtains are drawn
They're counting sheep down in orchard road
You're hanging on the telephone line tonight
And I wish I could be in orchard road

Not much been happening here
I think I've got a job
They're gonna call me next week
And I'll be working out of town
But it sure beats hanging around

What's that? Tomorrow at two
You're kidding me -- No
Is it allright with you
I don't know what to say
It'll be like a holiday

When you say you're all alone
Makes me wanna come back
And this house is not a home
I just gotta go back

It's twelve ten when I put down the phone
The moon's shining down on orchard road
And I'm feeling like a schoolboy again and tonight
I'll see you in my dreams of orchard road

It's funny but I thought I'd never go back
I think sometimes I might loose track
But I remember you and the things we do
And I want it back

In orchard road you've got my heart
I left it in your doorway
In orchard road a welcome back
Is waiting there just for me
In orchard road the sun will shine
Again I know, I know
In orchard road you keep my love
Just waiting there for me

It's eight o'clock and the dawn's arrived
In orchard road it's breakfast time
I climb in my car and I turn the key and I'm gone
I am coming home
To Orchard Road

I'm coming home

Midnight Ride 
Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders



Well, listen, my children, and-a you're gonna hear 
About the midnight ride of-a Paul Revere 
He had a hopped-up on his shoulder and mighty hot 
Stand on his tail and off like a shot 
He was a goin'-tide cat, this ol' Revere (rockin' Paul Revere) 

You know he said to "stand on the shoulder and watch for the lights 
I'm gonna blink 'em once, oh or blink 'em twice 
Once if I hear and twice if I see 
Then off of my trail they ain't gonna catch me" 
He was a cautious mudder, this ol' Revere (rockin' Paul Revere) 

He was a-rockin' and a-ridin' (rockin' and a-ridin') 
He was a-peelin' and a-hidin' (peelin' and a-hidin') 
He was a-tearin' up the lane like a man insane 
Rockin' Paul Revere 

(Rockin' Paul Revere) 

Well, studs drove the message and they pulled down the zips 
They headed for the bridge to cut off the ships 
When they got there they shuffled it tight 
They polished their pieces and got set to fight 
They got the word, man, from ol' Revere (rockin' Paul Revere) 

He was a-rockin' and a-ridin' (rockin' and a-ridin') 
He was a-peelin' and a-hidin' (peelin' and a-hidin') 
He was a-tearin' up the lane like a man insane 
Rockin' Paul Revere 

Studs saved their bridge and they saved their pads 
They were one big bunch of-a happy dads 
They licked the mean casses, had nothin' but fear 
But they coded homage to Paul Revere 
He was a real good head, this ol' Revere (rockin' Paul Revere) 

Ah, tell 'em that, Revere! 
Oh, ride that on, travel, yeah! 
Look at him a-smokin' down that road! 
First they got to see him push them red cats right into the sea! 
Oh, travel on! (Rockin' Paul Revere) ...

Orange Colored Sky
Composer(s): Milton DeLugg; William Stein
Performer(s): Nat "King" Cole;
and various other artists



I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange-coloured sky
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Wonderful you came by

I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine 
When out of that orange-coloured view
Wham! Bam! Alakazam!
I got a look at you

One look and I yelled "Timber"
"Watch out for flying glass"
'Cause the ceiling fell and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout,
"I've been hit, This is it, This is it!"

I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Out of an orange-coloured sky
