The One That Got Away Composer(s): Jim Reeves - Buddy Killen Performer(s): Jim Reeves
Out with someone new almost ev'ry day People look at me, I can hear them say He's so lucky, he has everything going his way
I can't let them know that I really don't I'm not with the one that I really want And I'm still in love with the one that got away
The one that got away took all my love, not just a part The one that got away, got away with my heart
If we chance to meet on some lonely street And I pass you by without a word to say I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away If we chance to meet on some lonely street And I pass you by without a word to say I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away
Prayers On Fire Composer(s): Nick Cave Performer(s): The Birthday Party
This place is hell to me With the devil in my bed And the devil in this bottle And the devil in my head I'll meet you in heaven again If you wear that dress again (I'll have one more drink, my friend) Where my heart is kept on ice And prayers burst into flames Prayers on fire
Pick Me Up On Your Way Down (French Version: J'attendrai Le Prochain Train - 1975) Composer(s): Harlan Howard First release by: Charlie Walker - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
You were mine for just a while Now you're puttin' on the style And you've never once looked back At your home across the track You're the gossip of the town But my heart can still be found Where you tossed it on the ground Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down When you're blue and all alone When their glamour starts to bore you Come on back where you belong You may be their pride and joy But they'll find another toy Then they'll take away your crown Pick me up on your way down
They have changed your attitude Made you haughty and so rude Your new friends can take the blame Underneath you're still the same When you've learned these things are true I'll be waiting here for you As you tumble to the ground Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down When you're blue and all alone When the glamour starts to bore you Come on back where you belong You may be their pride and joy But they'll find another toy Then they'll take away your crown Pick me up on your way down
Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition Composer(s): Frank Loesser Performer(s): Kay Kyser; and various other artists
Down went the gunner, a bullet was his fate Down went the gunner, then the gunner's mate Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look And manned the gun himself as he laid aside The Book, shouting...
"Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition And we'll all stay free"
Praise The Lord, and swing into position Can't afford to sit around a-wishin' Praise The Lord, we're all between perdition And the deep blue sea"
Yes, the sky pilot said it You've got to give him credit For a son-of-a-gun of a gunner was he Shouting...
"Praise The Lord, we're on a mighty mission All aboard, we're not a-goin' fishin' Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition And we'll all stay free"

T'aimer Follement (English, German, & Italian Versions: Makin' Love; So Verrückt; T'amero' Dolcemente) Composer(s): Floyd Robinson - André Salvet - Jacques Plait Performer(s): Dalida
Tout autour de nous Les gens sont jaloux Ils me reprochent surtout D'avoir pour toi des yeux trop doux Et de t'aimer follement Mon amour De t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Ça n'est pas gentil Mais ça m'est égal Je me moque de ce qu'on dit Car moi je trouve que c'est normal De t'aimer follement Mon amour De t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Je pense à chaque instant Que tout peut m'arriver Mais mon cur ne peut changer Il sera toujours vraiment content De t'aimer follement Mon amour De t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Un jour si tu veux On peut partir tous deux Partir en se moquant De ceux qui enragent en nous voyant Nous aimer follement Mon amour Nous aimer follement Nuit et jour
Ah que la vie est douce Quand on est amoureux Un rien me rend heureux Le ciel est plus bleu et tout me pousse À t'aimer follement Mon amour À t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Mais quand tu n'es pas là Je pense encore à toi Car je sais que tu reviendras Et personne au monde ne m'empêchera De t'aimer follement Mon amour De t'aimer follement Nuit et jour
Power Play Composer(s): John Kay Performer(s): Steppenwolf; Etta James
What gives you the right hey you To stand there and tell me what to do Tell me who gave you the power To stop me from living like I do Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where None of your clever lies fill the air I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin Just might all gang up on you Turn the knob and do you in
Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you
This never ending power play "between Jealous greed and vicious hate Is grinding us like giant millstones But it can't be our only fate It's time we got our heads together And let them know that we're awake
Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind They're breaking from your strangle hold on their minds Those that can see don't need no one to cross the street Be careful who you're pushing round They just might find you obsolete
Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Wenn du fort bist, und all' die Vögel singen doch Wenn du fort bist, und die Blumen blühen doch Wenn ich einsam, und all' die Menschen um mich her tun Als ob nichts geschehen wär'...
Wenn du fort bist, hör' ich das Vogelsingen nicht Wenn du fort bist, ist selbst die Sonne trübes Licht Was ich tue, es ist alles ward und leer Dann fehlst du mir so sehr
Doch wenn du da bist, und ich atme deine Naehe Mir ganz nah bist, und ich in die Augen sehe Wenn du da bist, und ich dich in die Arme nehme Dann vergessen wir die Welt ringsum uns her Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Bäume wieder blühen Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Blumen wieder blühen Wenn du da bist, ja denn wünsch' ich mir so sehr Bitte geh nicht fort nie mehr
Wenn du fort bist, laufe ich ohne Ziel umher Ganz verloren, fül' ich mich ausgehoellt und leer Wenn du fort bist, habe ich keine Plaene mehr Dann fehlst du mir so sehr
Doch wenn du da bist, und ich atme deine Naehe Mir ganz nah bist, und ich in die Augen sehe Wenn du da bist, und ich dich in die Arme nehme Dann vergessen wir die Welt ringsum uns her Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Bäume wieder blühen Wenn du da bist, seh ich die Blumen wieder blühen Wenn du da bist, ja denn wünsch' ich mir so sehr Bitte geh nicht fort nie mehr

Power And The Passion Composer(s): Peter Garrett; Rob Hirst; Jim Moginie Performer(s): Midnight Oil
People, wasting away in paradise Going backward, once in a while Moving ahead, falling behind What do you believe, what do you believe What do you believe is true Nothing they say makes a difference this way Nothing they say will do
Take all the trouble that you can afford At least you won't have time to be bored
Oh the power and the passion, oh the temper of the time Oh the power and the passion Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line
Sunburnt faces around, with skin so brown Smiling zinc cream and crowds, Sundays the beach never a cloud Breathing eucalypt, pushing panel vans Stuff and munch junk food Laughing at the truth, cos Gough was tough til he hit the rough Uncle Sam and John were quite enough
Too much of sunshine too much of sky It's enough to make you want to cry
Oh the power...
I see buildings, clothing the sky, in paradise Sydney, nights are warm Daytime telly, blue rinse dawn Dad's so bad he lives in the pub, it's a underarms and football clubs Flat chat, Pine Gap, in every home a Big Mac And no one goes outback, that's that You take what you get and get what you please It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

Beaux messieurs, belles dames Musique au programme Chanteurs, à vos gammes Que le meilleur gagne
Les frontières sont ouvertes Que déclarer si ce soir c'est la fête? Les vedettes sont inquiètes Elles se maquillent Fument une cigarette Avant d'aller sur la sellette
Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision Eurovision, Eurovision, Eurovision
Vieille Europe acclame le pays qui gagne Puis verse une larme, c'est la fin du charme
Les yeux du monde entier guettent, impatients Les flashs télévisés Qui vont leur annoncer Par satellites et par câbles blindés Ce qui se passe en leurs contrées

Power Composer(s): R. Goodrum; Steve Morse; Steve Walsh Performer(s): Kansas
Sometimes a smile can deceive the one who has made you promise Suddenly you can't believe, the truth only leaves you cold Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror Something the world needs to hear but no one is even listening
Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To back up the things you say Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To cut through the chains Breakaway
Fortune can werar a disguise Pride is a grand illusion And when it's your name up in lights fate proves this one conclusion Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror Something the world needs to hear the truth only leaves you cold
Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To back up the things you say Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To cut through the chains Breakaway Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To fight back and not be afraid Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To cut through the chains Breakaway
All that you see someday will be Lost in the shadows of time Mountains must fall Someday this all Will be darkness where light used to shine All I Wanted
You say it's time to stay behind All I wanted was to hold you All I wanted was to touch you
No need for blame cause we're not the same All I wanted was to love you That's all I wanted
How many times will it take Hurting me the way you do How many times till I break You're hurting me the way I'm loving you the way I do
It's not so strange for us to change All I wanted was to love you That's all I wanted
How many times will it take Hurting me the way you do How many times till I break You're hurting me the way
Powderfinger Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Neil Young; and various other artists
Look out Mama, there's a white boat coming down the river With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail I think you'd better call John 'cause it don't look like they're here To deliver the mail And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't come to stay It's got numbers on the side and a gun And it's making big waves
Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou So the powers that be left me here to do all the thinking And I just turned twenty two I was wondering what to do And the closer they came the more those feelings grew
Daddy's rifle in my arms felt reassuring He told me red means run son, numbers add up to nothing But when that first shot hit the dock I saw it coming Raised the rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why Then I saw black and my face flashed in the sky
Shelter me from the powder and the finger Cover me in the thought that pulled the trigger Just think of me as one who never figured To fade away so young With so much left undone Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her
