    Love Lifted Me
    Composer(s): Preston Ross - Howard Smith
    Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



    I was sinking deep in sin
    Far from the peaceful shore
    Very deeply stained within
    Sinking to rise no more
    But the Master of the sea

    Heard my despairing cry
    From the waters lifted me
    Now safe am I

    Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
    When nothing else could help
    Love lifted me
    Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
    When nothing else could help
    Love lifted me

    Souls in danger look above
    Jesus completely saves
    He will lift you by his love
    Out of the angry waves

    But the master of the sea
    Billows His will obey
    He your saviour wants to be
    Be saved today

    Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
    When nothing else could help
    Love lifted me
    Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
    When nothing else could help
    Love lifted me

    Mississippi
    Composer(s): John Phillips
    Performer(s): John Phillips



    Hit it, Hal

    Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville
    Holding onto a hundred dollar bill
    Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
    Yeah, she looked good, like a lady

    Do it to me, James

    And the Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime
    And me, you know, I don't hardly mind

    Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting easy
    Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me

    Have a seat and take a load off your feet, and she said ´Yes´
    So I said, ´I like your dress'
    Swamps all around make you feel kind of funny, don't they, honey
    She crossed her legs and looked at me funny

    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing

    Joseph

    Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville (Louisville)
    Holding onto a hundred dollar bill
    Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
    Yeah, she looked good, like a lady

    And the Mississippi River, it runs like molasses in the summertime
    And me, you know, I don't hardly mind

    Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting easy
    Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me

    Everybody sing

    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (2x)

    Have a seat, take a load off your feet, and she said ´Yes´
    So I said, ´I like your dress
    Swamps all around make you feel kind of funny, don't they, honey
    She crossed her legs and looked at me funny

    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
    Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing

    Love Lies Bleeding
    Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
    Performer(s): Elton John



    The roses in the window box
    Have tilted to one side
    Everything about this house
    Was born to grow and die

    Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
    To this very day
    You said I'm sorry honey
    If I don't change the pace
    I can't face another day

    And love lies bleeding in my hand
    Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
    I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
    But my guitar couldn't hold you
    So I split the band
    Love lies bleeding in my hands

    I wonder if those changes
    Have left a scar on you
    Like all the burning hoops of fire
    That you and I passed through

    You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
    I hope you're happy now
    Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
    You'll make it back somehow

    Mission In The Rain
    Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter
    Performer(s): Jerry Garcia;
    Emory Joseph; RatDog



    I turn and walk away then I come 'round again
    It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same

    I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break
    You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take

    Someone called my name you know I turned around to see
    It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me

    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

    Ten years ago, I walked this street my dreams were riding tall
    Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dream at all

    Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true
    But everything you gather is just more that you can lose

    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

    All the things I planned to do I only did half way
    Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday

    There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
    No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same

    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

    Games Without Frontiers
    Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
    Performer(s): Peter Gabriel; Pop Will Eat Itself



    A one, two, one two four

    Jeux sans frontières
    Jeux sans frontières
    Jeux sans frontières
    Jeux sans frontières

    Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
    Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
    Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
    Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it

    Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
    Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle

    It's a knockout
    If looks could kill, they probably will
    In games without frontiers, war without tears
    If looks could kill, they probably will
    In games without frontiers, war without tears
    Games without frontiers, war without tears

    Jeux sans frontières
    Jeux sans frontières
    Jeux sans frontières

    André has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
    They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
    Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
    Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names

    Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
    Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle

    It's a knockout
    If looks could kill they probably will
    In games without frontiers, war without tears
    If looks could kill they probably will
    In games without frontiers, war without tears
    Games without frontiers, war without tears

    Jeux sans frontières (repeat to fade)

    Love Letters In The Sand
    ((Danish Version: Breve I Sandet (Gustav Winckler) - 1957))
    Composer(s): Nick Kenny - Charles Kenny - J. Fred Coots
    First release by: Dolly Dawn - 1931
    Covered by multiple other artists



    On a day like today
    We pass the time away
    Writing love letters in the sand

    Oh, you laughed when I cried
    Each time I saw the tide
    Take our love letters in the sand

    You made a vow that you would always be true
    But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you

    Now my poor heart just aches
    With every wave that breaks
    Over love letters in the sand

    Say you love me
    Say those three words and
    I will give my love to you

    My love is higher than a mission bell (how deep?)
    Deeper than a wishing well (how strong?)
    Stronger than a magic spell
    My love, for you
    It's wider than the widest sea (how long?)
    Longer than a memory (How sweet?)
    Sweeter than a honey tree
    My love, uhmmm, for you

    Give me your heart of gold
    Your heavenly magic touch
    To cherish have and hold
    I need your love so much

    Say you love me
    Say those three words and
    I will give my love to you

    My love is warmer than a day in spring (how bright?)
    Brighter than a diamond ring (how great?)
    Greater than a mighty king
    My love, for you
    Is taller than the tallest tree (how soft?)
    Softer than a summer breeze
    Oh I ask you please
    Give your love, your love
    Sweet love to me

    How high (ummm)
    How deep (ummm)
    How strong (ummm)
    How wide (ummm)
    How long (ummm)

    Gamblin' Man
    Composer(s): Woody Guthrie; Lonnie Donegan
    Performer(s): Lonnie Donegan



    I've gambled down in Washington
    And I've gambled up in Maine
    I'm going down into Georgia
    To knock down my last game
    I'm a gamblin' man man man
    I'm a gamblin' man

    Well I'd not been in Washington
    Many more weeks than three
    When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
    And she fell in love with me
    I'm a gamblin' man
    I'm a gamblin' man

    I'm a gamblin' man man man
    I'm a gamblin' man man man
    I'm a gamblin' man man man
    I'm a gamblin' man

    I'm a gamblin' man man man
    I'm a gamblin' man man man
    I'm a gamblin' man man man
    I'm a gamblin' man

    She took me in her parlour
    Cooled me with her fan
    She said oh mother, mother
    I'm in love with a gamblin' man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    She said oh daughter, daughter
    How could you treat me so
    Leave your poor old mother
    With that gambler go
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    A gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    I would not marry a farmer
    He's always in the rain
    I'd rather marry a gamblin' man
    With a gold watch and chain
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    And I'd never marry a railroad man
    Here's the reason why
    I've never known a railroad man
    Wouldn't tell his wife a life
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    How about Jimmy

    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    How about

    I hear that train a-coming
    A-coming round the curve
    Whistling, a-screaming
    straining every nerve
    He's a gamblin' man man man
    He's a gamblin' man

    Mi Manchi Tu
    English Title: Missing You
    Performer(s): Paola Turci
    (Originally performed by: John Waite)



    Non lo sai ma ci sei tu
    In fondo a questo cuore
    E poi ancora tu la cosa migliore
    Che non ritroverò mai più
    Così lontano perché
    Io che ti vorrei vicino a me
    Mi bevo un the
    Vaniglia e lacrime
    E un sapore di malinconia
    È colpa tua o è colpa mia
    Il fatto che tu non ci sia
    Mi manchi tanto lo sai
    Ma sei troppo lontano ormai
    Non senti che ti chiamo
    Ma non lo sai cos’è
    Ti sto gridando ti amo
    E allora perché
    Perché guardo tra i dettagli
    E non mi piaccio più comunque sia
    Mi convinco che sono magica
    E pronta per un’altra follia
    E poi sbaglio e poi piango
    E poi magari è colpa mia
    Mi manchi tanto lo sai
    Ma sei così lontano ormai
    Non senti che ti chiamo
    Ma cosa fai cos’è
    Ti sto gridando ti amo
    E allora perché
    Perché la notte non perdona mai
    E tu come me allora soffrirai
    Ma sei così lontano io che ti vorrei
    Ma dove sei? Dove sei?
    Non senti che ti chiamo
    Quando verrai dame
    Ti sto gridando ti amo
    Ecco cos’è è che
    È che mi manchi tu
    Oh mi manchi tu
    Perché la notte non perdona mai
    E mi sento sola ormai
    Non senti che ti chiamo
    Ma non lo sai cos’è
    È che mi manchi tu
    E allora ecco cos’è
    Mi manchi tu
    Oh mi manchi tu
    Non senti che ti chiamo

    I don't know what love is, but I think I must have it bad
    Yeah, you I don't know what love is, people
    whoah, but I think I must have it bad
    Yeah, you know some people say love is just a gamble
    but whatever it is, it's enough to drive old me mad

    They say love is just a proposition, people
    it's strictly a game of give and take
    Yeah, they tell me love, love, love is a proposition
    people, they say it's strictly a game of give and take
    Whoah, but my woman took all I gave her

    She just got up early this mornin'
    didn't even say good-bye
    But I love you, I love you
    you know I love you baby, although you made me cry
    Yes, there are a lot of women who love me
    oh, but how you satisfy

    That nobody else has ever found
    In the middle of the desert or the deep blue sea
    It doesn't make any difference to me
    It'll be my new-found home
    A country all of its own

    You'd better hurry up and get here soon
    Before I'm all sold out

    A true true love and honesty
    That's gonna be my policy
    We'll be members of the United Nations

    And I'm wonderin' why you left
    And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight

    I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
    I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
    And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight

    I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
    I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say

    There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
    You don't know how desperate I've become
    And it looks like I'm losing this fight
    In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
    And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight

    Chorus:
    I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
    I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say

    And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul
    And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload

    (chorus)

    I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself

    And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight

    (chorus)

    Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
    Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no
    No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you...

    Gamble Gold (Robin Hood)
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Steeleye Span



    There chanced to be a pedlar bold
    A pedlar bold he chanced to be
    He rolled his pack all on his back
    And he came tripping o'er the sea

    By chance he met two troublesome blades
    Troublesome blades they chanced to be
    One of them was Robin Hood
    The other was little John so free

    Chorus
    Gentlemen on high born blood
    Gamble Gold and Robin Hood

    ``Oh pedlar, pedlar what's in the pack
    Come speedily and tell to me''
    ``I've several suits of the gay green silk
    And silken bow strings two of three''

    ``If you have suits of the gay green silk
    And silken bow strings two of three''
    ``Then by my body'' cries Robin Hood
    ``Half your pack belongs to me''

    Chorus

    ``Oh no, oh no,'' says the pedlar bold
    ``No that can never be
    There's never a man in Nottingham
    Can take one half my pack from me!''

    The Robin Hood he drew his sword
    And the pedlar by his pack did stand
    They fought 'till the blood in streams did flow
    And he cried ``Pedlar hold hold your hand''

    Chorus

    ``Oh pedlar, pedlar what's thy name
    Come speedily and tell to me''
    ``I'm Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
    I've travelled far beyond the sea''

    ``If you're Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
    Then my cousin you must be
    Let us away to a tavern near
    And bottles crack most merrily''

    Chorus

    Love Itself
    Composer(s): Leonard Cohen - Sharon Robinson
    Performer(s): Leonard Cohen; Sharon Robinson



    The light came through the window
    Straight from the sun above
    And so inside my little room
    There plunged the rays of Love

    In streams of light I clearly saw
    The dust you seldom see
    Out of which the Nameless makes
    A Name for one like me

    I'll try to say a little more
    Love went on and on
    Until it reached an open door

    Then Love Itself
    Love Itself was gone

    All busy in the sunlight
    The flecks did float and dance
    And I was tumbled up with them
    In formless circumstance

    I'll try to say a little more
    Love went on and on
    Until it reached an open door

    Then Love Itself
    Love Itself was gone

    Then I came back from where I'd been
    My room, it looked the same

    But there was nothing left between
    The Nameless and the Name

    All busy in the sunlight
    The flecks did float and dance
    And I was tumbled up with them
    In formless circumstance

    I'll try to say a little more
    Love went on and on
    Until it reached an open door

    Then Love itself
    Love Itself was gone
    Love Itself was gone

    Missing You
    Composer(s): Lionel Richie
    Performer(s): Diana Ross



    Since you've been away
    I've been down and lonely
    Since you've been away
    I've been thinking of you
    Trying to understand
    The reason you left me
    What were you going through?

    I'm missing you
    Tell me why the road turns
    Ooh ooh
    I'm missing you
    Tell me why the road turns

    As I look around
    I see things that remind me
    Just to see you smile
    Made my heart fill with joy
    I'll still recall
    All those dreams we shared together
    Where did you run to, boy?

    I'm missing you
    Tell me why the road turns
    Ooh ooh
    I'm missing you
    Tell me why the road turns

    Sometimes I've wondered
    I didn't understand
    Just where you were trying to go
    Only you knew the plan
    And I tried to be there
    But you wouldn't let me in

    But now you've gone away boy
    I feel so broken hearted
    I knew the day we started
    That we were meant to be
    If only you'd let me!
    I've cried so many tears
    Gotta face now all my fears
    We let time slip away
    I need you boy
    Here today!

    There was so much you gave me
    To my heart
    To my soul
    There was so much of your dreams
    That were never told
    You had so much hope
    For a brighter day
    Why were you my flower
    Plucked away

    I'm missing you
    Tell me why the road turns
    Ooh ooh
    I'm missing you
    Tell me why the road turns

    Gambella (The Gamblin' Lady)
    Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
    Performer(s): Frankie Laine & Jo Stafford



    (Gambella, Gambella, Gambella,
    Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady)

    Frankie Laine:
    Oh, I'm a two-fisted gambler
    I've travelled this country afar
    From River to highway, I make 'em play my way
    From peanuts to cold caviar

    I'm cool as a shark in the water
    My luck is my own to command
    But I got no home, or a place for a woman
    Who bluffs me right out of my hand

    (Gambella, Gambella)
    Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady
    (She carries her umbrella)
    To cover a past that is shady
    Gambella, Gambella, Gambella,
    Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady

    Jo Stafford:
    Oh, gamblin' is my profession
    I travel all over the land
    From roulette to Reno, from Reno to keno
    The jokers eat out of my hand

    The dice roll at my direction
    In poker, I win at a glance
    But more satisfying and more gratifying
    is takin' a chance on romance

    (Gambella, Gambella)
    Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady
    (She carries her umbrella)
    To cover a past that is shady
    Gambella, Gambella, Gambella, Gambella,
    Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady

    Frankie Laine:
    The girls all gather around me
    They fall for my slick city ways
    But if I go courtin', the diamond I'm sportin'
    Will be holdin' up one of her stays

    Jo Stafford:
    Oh, he's a two-fisted gambler
    But now I don't think he can stand
    He's been double-crossed, he gambled and lost
    And I got a ring on my hand

    JS: Don't gamble on love, my boy
    FL: Gambella, Gambella
    JS: Don't gamble on love
    FL: Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady
    JS: Shoot for a seven
    FL: She carries her umbrella
    JS: And wait for eleven
    FL: To cover a past that is shady
    JS: But don't ever gamble on love

    Gambella, Gambella, Gambella
    Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady
    Gambella, Gambella, Gambella,
    Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady

    Gambella, the Gamblin' Lady

    Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)
    Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus
    Performer(s): ABBA



    Do you remember the first time, and all of your sweet sweet talk
    Ain't heard it a lot since then love
    Now look at that guy, he's making me cry
    He leaves everybody and he only says goodbye
    But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
    Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
    Darling I know

    We gotta have patience
    Love isn't just a sensation
    Some of the time it gets rough
    Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    Giving love is a reason for living
    But a few things can be tough
    Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)

    From the first moment I saw you I've treated you like a queen
    I've given you lots of presents
    Now listen to that, just look at that cat
    You'd think he was an angel but he's talking through his hat
    But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
    Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
    Darling I know

    We gotta have patience
    Love isn't just a sensation
    Some of the time it gets rough
    Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    Giving
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    Love is a reason for living
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    But a few things can be tough
    Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)

    Patience (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    Love isn't just a sensation
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    Some of the time it gets rough
    Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    Giving
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    Love is a reason for living
    (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
    But a few things can be tough
    Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough ...

    Missing In Action
    Composer(s): Helen Kays; Arthur Q. Smith
    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
    Jim Eanes & His Shenandoah Valley Boys



    The warships had landed and I came ashore
    the fighting was over for me evermore
    For I had been wounded, they left me for dead
    a stone for my pillow and snow for my bed
    The enemy found me and took me away
    and made me a prisoner of war so they say
    but God in his mercy was with me one day
    the gate was left open and I ran away

    I returned to the old home, my sweet wife to see
    the home I had built for my darling and me
    The door was left open and there on a stand
    I waw a picture of her and a man
    The clothes she was wearing told me a sad tale
    my darling was wearing a new bridal veil
    Then I found a letter and these words I read
    "Missing in Action"
    She thought I was dead

    So I kissed her picture and whispered good-bye
    my poor heart was breading but my eyes were dry
    I know she'd be happy if she never learned
    I know she must never know I had returned
    A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam
    because there was no one to welcome me home
    The face of my darling no more will I see
    for Missing in Action for ever I'll be
