Love Makes Sweet Music Composer(s): David Allen - Kevin Ayers - Mike Ratledge - Robert Wyatt Performer(s): Soft Machine and multiple other artists
Every night it's the same old scene Drinking wine cos you're scared to dream But you know that things will get better If you let your dreams get wetter than wine It's just a waste of time
When it's dark and you hear your heart beat Walk down moonlight's lonely high street Something sings and you feel sunshine But you know you're full of moonshine, too It's staring at you
Love makes sweet music Makes you want to shout out Love makes sweet music Makes you want to run, makes you want to shout out Makes you want to cry, makes you want to run to ... her
Every day it's the same old tune Tell yourself it's coming soon When it comes it comes so fast You get worried cause that thing won't last with her Then you're back where you were
Mississippi Queen Composer(s): Corky Laing; Felix Pappalardi; David Rea; Leslie West Originally performed by: Mountain Covered by various other artists
Mississippi Queen If you know what I mean Mississippi Queen She taught me everything Way down around Vicksburg Around Louisiana way Lived a cajun lady Aboard the Mississippi Queen You know she was a dancer She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks Buddy, beg your pardon, I was getting mine
Mississippi Queen If you know what I mean Mississippi Queen She taught me everything This lady she asked me If I would be her man You know that I told her I'd do what I can To keep her looking pretty Buy her dresses that shine
While the rest of them dudes were making their bread Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine!

Mississippi Mud Composer(s): James Cavanaugh; Harry Barris Performer(s): Paul Whiteman & His Orch. and various other artists
When the sun goes down, the tide goes out The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout "Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud"
What a dance do they do! Lordy, how I'm tellin' you... They don't need no band... They keep time by clappin' their hand... Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi Mud
Lordy, how they play it! Goodness, how they sway it! Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim How they pound the mire with vigor and vim! Joy! that music thrills me! Boy! it nearly kills me! What a show when they go! Say! they beat it up either fast or slow
When the sun goes down, the tide goes out The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout "Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud"
What a dance do they do! Lordy, how I'm tellin' you... They don't need no band... They keep time by clappin' their hand Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi Mud

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 ...

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
