Take A Giant Step
((Portuguese Version: Dê Um Passo À Frente (The Sunshines) - 1967))
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King
First release by: The Monkees - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
I will melt your heart again
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time you felt like you did then
There's just no percentage in remembering the past
It's time you learned to live again at last

Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind

You stare at me in disbelief
You say for you there's no relieve
But I swear I'll prove you wrong
Don't stay in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom
That's not where you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the tast of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen

Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind

Morning Hymn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn



Wind chimes flicker
Brittle corners slide away
Smile back at the day
Shadows flying
Like the mist before the sun

See the sadness run
Silk-spun web of pearls
Glistens in the grass in summer
North wind changes all the fields
To dazzling glass in winter

Come near to me
Hear this song I sing to you
are you singing, too?

Girl of my dreams, I love you
Honest I do, you are so sweet
If I could just hold your charms 
Again in my arms

Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!
 
And after all's said an' done
There's only one 
Girl of my dreams, it's you!
 
Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!
 
And after all's said an' done
There's only one 
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

Well, I'm lookin' at you
And I'm wond'rin' what you're gonna do
Looks like you got no friends

But now you're lonely ev'ry night
Well, you need a friend
Someone on whom you can always depend

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good ...
So good

Yes, you need some advice
Well, let me put it to you nice
I said you need a friend
Someone who'll stick with you to the end

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good ...
So good

First release by: Cat Stevens - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Morning has broken like the first morning
blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word

Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven
like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
sprung in completeness where God's feet pass

Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
born of the one light Eden saw play! 
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day!

Morning Glory

Performer(s): Tim Buckley
Covered by various other artists



I lit my purest candle 
close to my window 
hoping it would catch the eye 
of any vagabond who had passed it by 
and I waited in my fleeting house 

Before he came 
I felt him drawing near 
Asked him in 
I felt the ancient fear 
that he had come to my door and jeered 
and I waited in my fleeting house 

Tell me stories, I called to the hobo 
Stories of Cold, I smiled to the hobo 
Stories of old, I knelt to the hobo 
and he stood before me 
in my fleeting house

No, said the hobo 
no more tales of time 
don't ask me now to wash away the grime 
I can't come in 'cause 
it's too hard a climb 
and he walked away from my fleeting house 

Then you'll be damned 
I screamed to the hobo 
Leave me alone, I wept to the hobo 
Turn into stone, I knelt to the hobo 
and he walked away from my fleeting house 

I lit my purest candle 
Close to my window 
hoping it would catch the eye 
of any vagabond who passed it by 
and I waited in my fleeting house

Girl Goodbye
Composer(s): David Paich
Performer(s): Toto



Well I’m out on the road, and the devil’s got my soul
And I’m looking for the lord in New York city

Yeah I’m out on the run, got some heat, got a gun
If they don’t find me soon, it’ll be a damn pity

So it’s

Chorus:
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
It’s so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
Must be in the way that she cries, must be in the way that she cries
Must be in the way that she cries

Oh there’s smoke in the air and there’s blood everywhere
But I’m hoping that the white man don’t recognize me

I’m so sorry what I’ve done, and I say it not in fun
When I tell you that there’s no one left inside me

And it’s - chorus

So it’s - chorus

Oh j'ai trouvé le livre magique
Y a tout dedans, c'est logique
Génial, Carabosse n'a qu'à bien se tenir
Restons logiques, la Belle doit nous attendre au château
Allez, en route
Oh oui en route, je ne veux pas rater le bal

On n'a plus la trouille de la Carabosse
Avec une citrouille on fait un carrosse
Il y a cinq notes de musique
Qu'un seul mot pour ça
Voilà la formule magique
Abbacadabra

Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

Trois lunes dans le ciel, c'est presque irréel
Et personne ne sait comment
On tourne les pages du pays des images
Entre l'espace et le temps
Mais ce n'est pas tout
Les murs ne tiennent pas debout
Le soleil tourne autour de nous
En musique
J'ai la clef du monde enchanté
Un lapin blanc me l'a donnée
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

On n'a plus la trouille de la Carabosse
Avec une citrouille on fait un carrosse
Il y a cinq notes de musique
Qu'un seul mot pour ça
Et le pays merveilleux
On y est déja
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

C'est vraiment génial
J'vois les cartes postales
Que j'enverrai à ma petite sœur
Mais ce n'est pas tout
On est collés jusqu'à six heures
Si on rentre pas chez nous à l'heure
Dramatique
Vous serez déjà revenus à la fin de la retenue
Abbacadabra, venez avec moi

Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà 
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà

Morning Girls
Performer(s): Maddy Prior and The Answers



Soft focus on the lady who gets up late
In languid and sleepy state
Lashings of eau de toilette
Perfumes of faint violet
Slinky silky Crêpe de Chine
Nothing ever petty or mean
Tracing fingers on her pillow
Where the lawn runs down to the willow
And the river flows gently on
Singing a skylark summer song

Working girls are early to rise
Cold tile floor and sleep in their eyes
The working day begins
When the alarm bell rings
Fumble for something clean to wear
Scraping a brush through unwashed hair
Pull on a dress
An old pair of tights
Patch up make up
From last night
A fast breakfast of cornflakes and toast
Catch the news
Running for the bus in the rain
Waiting for the eight o'clock train

Morning Girls
Morning Girls
Morning Girls
Morning Girls

Morning sickness throwing up
How much must you give up
Will it ruin your career
Must you finish school this year
Is it wanted
Were you caught
Time for joy
Or time to abort
Take the strain of getting fat
Take the pain are you ready for that

Woken by a baby needing a drink
Scheming by the cooker and kitchen sink
Visions of the supermarket
Brought home in an empty basket
Fantasies of a hoover day drone
Leisurely cleaning a spotless home
Dreams of fame and fortune
While tidying up the front room

Girl From The North Country
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds

Please see for me if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair hangs long 
That's the way I remember her best

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day 

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Kippen jong en fit
lekker aan het spit
Kippen met wat tijm
gesauteerd in de wijn

Kippen uit de supermarkt
Kippen uit de muur
Kippen vol met lamsgehakt
Kippen in zoetzuur

Kippen geel of wit
Kippen hebben geen gebit
Kippen heel pikant
lichtjes aangebrand

Kippen uit één stuk en ook
Kippenfricassee
Kippen in een saus met look
Kippen met hachee

Doe nu met ons mee (hm wat een lekker kippetje)
Koop een kip of twee

Kippen zijn voedzaam, licht en verteerbaar, niet te versmaden
Gestoofd in wat ajuintjes, met goudgele frietjes en verse salade

Luister nu maar niet
Naar het nieuws, want dat is funest, wat men zegt over vogelpest
Da's bullshit
De bevolking, men maakt haar bang
en dat net voor de stembusgang
Ja dit is het werk
Van Stefaan De Clerck

Kip voor jou en mij
Kipfilet met prei
Kip met ananas
Dat is eerste klas

Kippen op de scharrelwei
Kippen voor de fun
Kippen in de batterij
Kippen on the run

Kippenworst met brood
Kippen met de billen bloot
Kippenborst bien cuit
Met bouquet garni

Kippen uit het kippenhok
Kip met appelsien
Kippen op een witte stok
Kippen die ook zien

Doe nu met ons mee (Kippetjes! Lekkere kippetjes!)
Koop een kip of twee

Jawel hoor
Kippen zijn voedzaam, mak'lijk bereidbaar, niet te versmaden
Gestoofd met wat truffels, een uurtje in de oven op tweehonderd graden

Luister nu maar niet
Naar het nieuws, want dat is funest; wat men zegt over vogelpest
Da's bullshit
De bevolking, men maakt haar bang
en dat net voor de stembusgang
Wie heeft dat gedaan?
't Is Jean-Luc Dehaen(e)

Morning Girl

Shaun Cassidy; The Lettermen



Mornin' girl, how'd ya sleep last night?
You're sev'ral ages older now
Your eyes have started showin' how
The little girl's growin' now

Mornin' girl, was that you last night?
Crying on the radio
Beggin' for a way to go
To go back where love wasn't jumbled so

Oh, no, things are different now than they were before
You know love is more than kisses
A whole lot more

Mornin' girl, put your dreams away
And read your box of Cheerios
And powder-puff that pretty nose
And go out and find your man where the wild wind blows
Mornin' girl

Girl From La Poma
Spanish Title: La Pomeña
Composer(s): Cuchi Leguizamón; Manuel J. Castilla
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



Eulogia Tapia in La Poma
gives her tenderness to the air
If she passes over the sand
she went stepping on the moon

The wheat that she cuts
matures by her waist
Looking at alfalfa flowers
her black eyes become blue

The willow of your house
is crying for you
because they take you away, Eulogia
for Carnival

Her face gets covered with flour
Her shadow gets covered with sand
Chanting and disenchanting
her sorrows get jumbled up

She comes on a white horse
the caja drum trembles in her hands
and when she sinks into the night
she is a dark dahlia

Or the colour of the skin that she's wrapped in
All I want is a personality

And if by chance she's new to romance

I'll teach her to make love night and day

Performer(s): Harry Nilsson



It was take 54
When she walked through the door
With the red light on it
I knew in a minute 
If I wanted to get in it
Then I'd have to get on it

I sang my balls off for you baby
I worked my fingers to the bone
I closed my eyes to get the high note
but when I woke up I was alone
Baby, baby come back 
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

Well I saw her today
Back in studio A
We were just gettin' started
I sang for a minute
She couldn't get in it
I felt broken hearted

I sang my balls off for you baby
I almost broke the microphone
I even sang the song that you wrote
But when I woke up I was alone
Oh!  Baby, baby, come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

High note
But when I woke up I was alone

Baby, baby come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
B-b-b-baby come back 

Morning Comes Too Early
Composer(s): Dennis Morgan; Kye Fleming

The night falls around us and you're in my arms again
For hours we'll just lie here and love
Wishing the night would never end

Morning comes too early
Nighttime ends too soon
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you

Your hair is soft on my pillow
Your lips are warm on mine
The whole world must be sleeping but I don't even want to close my eyes

Morning comes too early
Nighttime ends too soon
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you
