L-o-v-e l-o-v-e love There couldn't be a bad word I haven't heard you say Don't you know the needs of any woman You speak words my ears have never heard of The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love L-o-v-e a word you never use l-o-v-e your lips never choose It's enough to make a woman want to give of The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love
It would tear me all to pieces if you ever came to me With more to give than one robbed kiss at nighttime You'll never know the longing that my heart does The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love L-o-v-e a word you never use ...
Mississippi Kid Composer(s): Robert Burns; Al Kooper; Ronnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd and various other artists
I've got my pistols in my pockets boys I'm Alabama bound I've got my pistols in my pockets boys, I'm I'm Alabama bound Well, I'm not looking for no trouble But nobody dogs me 'round
Well, I'm going to fetch my woman, people Tri-cities here I come Well, I'm going to fetch my woman, people Tri-cities here I come Cause she was raised up on that cornbread And I know she's gonna give me some
When the kid hits Alabama, people Don't you try and dog him 'round When the kid hits Alabama, people Don't you try and dog him 'round Cause if you people cause me trouble Then I've got to put you in the ground
Well, I was born in Mississippi And I don't take any stuff from you Well, I was born in Mississippi And I don't take any stuff from you And if I hit you on your head Boy, its got to make you black and blue
Garde-Moi Dans Ta Poche
Adapted from: I Can't Help Myself - 1965
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Eddie Holland; J. Renard
Performer(s): Sylvia Vartan - 1966
Garde-moi dans ta poche Maintenant que je sais Qu'il ne faut jamais Oh non plus jamais nous séparer Et vivre de nous de notre amour Comme la feuille et l'arbre Ne peuvent vivre l'un sans l'autre J'ai tellement pleuré sur notre amour Sur ce qui était à nous que je te le demande Maintenant garde-moi dans ta poche
Garde-moi dans ta poche Pour que tu ne sois jamais seul Et je te ferai oublier toute ta peine Chaque fois que la nuit vient Et qu'on est très loin l'un de l'autre Je veux crier ton nom Oh oui crier ton nom Si ton cur a souffert à cause de nous Nous allons refaire le chemin de notre amour {ad lib}
L-o-v-e (Love) Composer(s): Al Green - Teenie Hodges - Willie Mitchell First release by: Al Green - 1975
I started to write this song about you And then I decided that I would write it all about love And it appeared to me That you wasn't happy And that's for sure, positively That's what the world is made of So give me more L-O-V-E, love Love is a walk down Main street (oh love) Love is an apple that is so sweet (love) Love is something that can't be beat (love)
L-O-V-E is strange to me, Oh I can't explain this feeling Can't you see that salvation is freeing It's all in the heavens, can't you see You can always depend on me To give you love
Love is a flower in my soul (oh love) Love is a story that just can't be told (love) Can't you feel it burning more and more (love) Stop and look at the big wheel roll I can't explain this feeling Can't you see that salvation is freeing I would give my life for the glory Just to be able to tell the story About love I didn't mean to make you mad A sweet story, I thought I had But maybe time will bring us together And I can be such a happy fella About love Love is something that is so divine (oh love) Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love) It can't be measured by no sign (love) In your heart or even in your mind About love, Love is as bright as the morning sun
Mississippi Delta City Blues Composer(s): Terry Kath Performer(s): Chicago
I've got a smile That I put on When I'm not at home When I'm not alone
But it is so hard To make that smile 'Cause I know I'll be at home And alone in a while And if I look in a mirror I see my eyes start to tear I can't help but cry Since you said goodbye
I've got to hide Whhat I'm feelin' inside Can't let them see How you're hurtin' me
So I guess that's what I'll do Won't let them see through Won't let them know That you could hurt me so
I've got a laugh That I put on When I'm not at home When I'm not alone
But it is so hard To fake that laugh When my insides are cryin' And my heart's torn in half And all the music I hear And things I valued so dear Make me feel so blue They all remind me of you
(Now) What can I do (Now) That our love is through And my purpose is gone Still I got to live on
I guess that's what I'll do I won't let them see through I won't let them know That you could hurt me so
Garde Du Corps Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
La limousine stoppe devant le chasseur Je descends, jette un il, écarte les gêneurs C'est mon heure de gloire, je roule, j'redresse le dos J'suis un peu la "star" du show
Je lui ouvr' sa portière, les yeux dans l'horizon Elle dévoile un genou et puis pose un talon Décolleté, robe du soir, hum! sa peau qui sent bon J'suis son garde du corps just' pour ce soir
Elle m'a pris à l'essai Comme on prend un verre d'eau Comme ça d'un trait Sec, ne me montrant que son dos Moi j'aurais aimé pouvoir lui parler d' son passé De mes exploits, c'est qu' moi j'en ai du métier
Comm' salaire, faut l'savoir, c'est pas si mal payé Y a plus cher mais c'est rare et faut être cultivé Si j'provoque des bagarres c'est pour mieux me justifier J'suis son carde du corps just' pour ce soir
Les remords et les regrets J'ignore, j'sais pas c'que c'est Comme ces idiots Mercenaires mal dans leur peau, J'entretiens tout l'temps mon corps, j'le muscule, j'le "gymnastique" L'aspect physique c'est "top' et puis ça fait "pro"
Carde du corps pour un soir, vous pouvez m'appeler J'laisse ma carte au cas où ça pourrait vous brancher Carde du corps pour un soir, j'sais que c'est cher, ça peut payer Pour s'la donner, pour le show
Qui veut un garde du corps? Besoin d'un garde du corps? Qui veut un garde du corps?
Love Looks So Well On You Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Lew Spence - Michael Keith Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Simavi
Like moonlight looks on a country side, like a rose that's silvered with dew Like sunlight looks on a meadow, love looks so well on you Like children look on a carousel, all the joys they feel shining through Like picnics look on a Sunday, love looks so well on you It's bright as the starlight in your eyes, with stardust in your hair And oh, that expression on your face, is one you should always wear Everyday you grow even lovelier, yes, you do, my darling, you do I love you every day of your life, cause love looks so well on you

M I double S I double S I double P I M I double S I double S I double P I Right in the middle of the cotton belt Down in the Mississippi Delta Wearin' last years possum belt Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta
Have me a little that Johnny cake A little bit of that apple pan dowdy Picking them scuppernon's off that vine Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy
Ate me a bucket of Muscadine Sit on the riverbank after dark Drop my line down a crawdad hole Do him in with a scaly bark
M I double S I double S I double P I M I double S I double S I double P I Right in the middle of the cotton belt Down in the Mississippi Delta Wearin' last years possum belt Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta
Sittin and scratchin' mosquito bites Old fox done give him the slip Watchin' the mornin' glories grow In Biloxi on an overnight trip
I bet five dollars to win two bits Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday Ain't no use in'a hurrying up Can't leave till a week from Monday
Ganz Paris Träumt Von Der Liebe Composer(s): Kurt Feltz; Cole Porter Performer(s): Caterina Valente
Ganz Paris träumt von der Liebe denn dort ist sie ja zuhaus Ganz Paris träumt dieses Märchen wenn es wahr wird Ganz Paris grüßt dann das Pärchen das ein Paar wird Ganz Paris singt immer wieder immer wieder nur vom Glück Wer verliebt ist wer verliebt ist in die Liebe kommt nach Paris zurück
Love Lives Here Composer(s): Ronnie Lane - Ron Wood - Rod Stewart Performer(s): Faces
It's hard to believe that this is the place Where we were so happy all our lives Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain Waitin' for a hammer and a big ball and chain
They can tear it all down and build something new Then only I'll remember what was here Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone How hong will I have to keep returning?
Now I look back, think I've known all the time I've been fightin' myself for so long All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber Disappear on a cart down the road
Ik Zal Je Missen
((Adapted from: Mississippi (by Pussycat) - 1975))
Composer(s): Werner Theunissen - Peter Van Laet
Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 2007
Het water stroomt al jaren naar de zee En het neemt zoveel verhalen met zich mee Maar dat van ons behoeft niet zoveel woorden Alleen een paar akkoorden Vertellen zoveel meer
In gedachten ben je nog altijd bij mij En ik hoor nog al de dingen die je zei Het was toen zoveel mooier dan het heden Ik kan je niet vergeten Je leeft nog diep in mij
Ik zal je missen Ik vergeet je niet Bij wie of waar je ook mag zijn Ik weet het niet en dat doet pijn Want ons verhaal was niet voorbij
Ik zal je missen Ik heb zoveel verdriet Elke dag denk ik aan jou Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou Je komt niet meer terug
Ik speel nog steeds jouw lied Op mijn gitaar Want het afscheid valt me Nog altijd zo zwaar
Dit blijf ik doen Om jou niet te vergeten Hou vast aan het verleden Ik hou nog steeds van jou
Ik zal je missen Ik vergeet je niet Elke dag denk ik aan jou Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou Je komt niet meer terug
Elke dag denk ik aan jou Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou Je komt niet meer terug
Gangland Composer(s): Clive Burr; Steve Harris; Adrian Smith Performer(s): Iron Maiden; Steel Prophet
Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved You pray for daylight to save you for a while You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile
Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- murder's up for sale Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- where jail birds die
Face at the window leers into your own But it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bones How long can you hide? How long till they come? A rat in a trap but you've got to survive
Once you were glad to be free for a while The air tasted good and the world was your friend Then came the day when the hard times began Now your alone but alive for how long?
A knife at your throat another body on the pile A contract to keep and it's service with a smile Murder for vengeance or murder for gain Death on the streets or a blackened out jail
Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- murder's up for sale Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- where jail birds die
Mississippi
((Dutch Version: Ik Zal Je Missen (by Mama's Jasje) - 2007))
Composer(s): Werner Theunissen
First release by: Pussycat - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
Where you can hear a country song from far And someone plays the honky-tonk guitar Where all the lights will go out one by one The people join the sun And the wind takes it away
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea And lovers found the place they'd like to be How many times before the song was ending Love and understanding Everywhere around
Mississippi, I'll remember you Whenever I should go away I'll be longing for the day That I will be returning again Mississippi, you'll be on my mind Everytime I hear this song Mississippi roll along Until the end of time
Now the country song forever lost its soul When the guitar player turned to rock & roll And everytime when summer nights are falling I will always be calling, dreams of yesterday
Mississippi, I'll remember you Whenever I should go ...
Non ti ricordi quei due ragazzini
che in riva al mar andavano ogni sera
tu ed io dalle stelle stranamente vicini
l'avvenire ci rideva che dolce chimera
uho uho uho ma,ma cara bambina, quel dolce visino
non lo vedo più
uho uho uho ma,ma cara bambina
che triste destino saperti laggiù
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
Quante promesse di felicità
tutte sciocchezze della più bella età
e passato con il vento
è finito lo so
Ma io sento che t'amerò per l'eternità
uho uho uho ma, ma cara bambina,quel dolce visino
non lo vedo più
uho uho uho ma, ma cara bambina
che triste destino saperti laggiù
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
There once was a woman with wings Happy with the simple things She had silk suspenders
and high heeled, stocking thighs Helping me in my need She was a friend, indeed She was my baby until the day she died
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues (repeat)
She was a woman who was twice my size She looked into my eyes She said "Only you can blow my blues away" She said "I'll tell you what to do Bring all your friends with you And you can come up and see me any ol' time of day"
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues, ahhh (repeat)
There were twenty-seven guys An unexpected surprise She just kept on rockin' 'til the night was gone She was smilin' through the tears For a hundred and fifty years Just lickin' her lips and helpin' me along
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues
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

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

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
