Love Me Warm And Tender Composer(s): Paul Anka First release by: Paul Anka - 1962
Love me warm and tender, dear Love me warm like the glow of the morning sun Love me warm and tender, dear Love me so just as though I'm the o-o-o-only-y one
Kiss me warm and tender, dear Kiss me strong, kiss me long 'til the end of time Kiss me warm and tender, dear Let me know, tell me so 'til the end of time
I'm in heaven in your embrace See the glow of your angel face Heaven sings, heaven rings, on your wings we will fly away We will fly, you and I, to the sky where we'll always stay
Love me warm and tender, dear Take my lips, take my arms, they belong to you Love me warm and tender, dear I'm a part of your heart for my whole life through
Love me warm and tender, dear Love me warm like the glow of the morning sun Love me warm and tender, dear
Love me so just as though I'm the o-o-o-only-y one
Mistress Of Mine Composer(s): Graham Goble Performer(s): Little River Band; Birtles Shorrock Goble; Beeb Birtles
She's there like the heat, she dances like the fireflies I'm torn like the wind, there's magic in her eyes... I'm a slave to her love, I'm fooled by her disgui-ise That mistress of mi-ine, that mistress of mine
She turns like the tide and takes me where I've never been There's peace at her side, she's a lady and a gypsy quee-een I'm caught by her spell, sometimes I wish I'd never see-een That mistress of mi-ine, that mistress of mine
So I say to myself, it's no good being left in the co-old It's no fun to be out on a she-e-elf And so sad to be lonely when your old But I'll never give in, I accept the way that she lives But could I ever start agai-ai-ain If I cease to share the love that she gives That mistress of mi-ine Dah-da-da-dah, dah-da-dah Dah-da-dah, dah-da-dah, dah-da-dah Dah-da-da-dah
She's there like the heat, she dances like the fireflies I'm torn like the wind, there's magic in her eyes... I'm a slave to her love, I'm fooled by her disgui-ise That mistress of mi-ine, that mistress of mine

Mistral Wind Composer(s): Sue Ennis; Roger Fisher; Ann Wilson; Nancy Wilson Performer(s): Heart
No wind when I took the watch My ship was still and waitin' I lay on that mirrored sky A restless sail or waitin' I closed my eyes said the Words of will for the gentle Breathin' that moves the seas Make my sails fill
Whisper waves cloud the glass Awake at last like a lover It rushed around the talkin' sweet Roll over, roll over, roll over And in my ear he blew his name It sound so strange but I heard it plain Mistral Mistral wind
I have always held the wheel but I let the wind steal my power Spin me 'round lose my course Nights run be like hours Well, it would show me the way To the deepest mountains Too high and beautiful to be Mistral, mistral wind
All the hours on the watch I wait for that breeze to move me And blow me back to that place Magic space all through me And I sigh your name Across the empty water You made a crazy dreamer out of me Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral Mistral, mistral
Gather In The Mushrooms Composer(s): Benny Hill Performer(s): Benny Hill
Lucy went down on a farm, tried to milk a cow Though she tried
she couldn't get the hang of it somehow The farmer looked at Lucy and murmured with a frown "Well you just hang on tightly, gal, and she'll jump up and down"
Chorus: Oh, gather in the mushrooms, put 'em in a pot Pop 'em in the oven an serve 'em piping ho-ot
To make herself more beautiful she thought she'd bathe in milk She said, "I'll have a bathful," to her milkman Jackie Wilke He said, "Do you want it pasturized before I pour it in?" She said, "No, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chin"
Chorus
The farmer called at Lucy one dark and stormy night She said, "You are too old for me because your hair is white" He looked into her eyes and then he knew he'd have to tell her "There's snow upon the roof but there's a fire in the cellar!"
Chorus
She took him in the kitchen, she was his turtle dove And then she started cooking dumplings on the stove She wore a low cut dress, oh it was as green as clover He jumped with glee 'cause he could see her dumplings boiling over
Chorus
She said, "You give me half a crown I will read your palm" And then she saw his love line went half way up his arm So now she's changed her prices, although she's just as willing It's big fat men at two pound ten and little boys a shilling
Oh, gather in the mushrooms, put 'em in a pot Pop 'em in the oven and serve 'em piping hot We're gonna gather in the mushrooms, put 'em in a pot Pop 'em in the oven and serve them pi-ping ho-o-ot

Mistero Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Velezia Performer(s): Lucio Battisti
Che mistero è la vita Che mistero sei tu Ti credevo già sopita Ed invece stai fiorendo Sempre di più Sei creativa Positiva Coinvolgente Quando agiti le tue belle mani E fai pensare a genti e mondi lontani E quando tutti stanno ad ascoltare A bocca aperta in silenzio Quello che sai dire Mi dico Che mistero è la vita Che mistero sei tu Io ti avevo definita Ma mi sbagliavo in te c'è molto di più Sei profonda
Sei vitale Non sei mai banale Io mi ero lasciato entusiasmare Da quel tipo intellettuale appariscente Che in fondo in fondo non valeva niente Una cosa che non so capire davvero Che mistero è la vita Che mistero sono anch'io Per tanti anni ti avevo sognata Senza sapere che quel sogno era già mio Sei fatale Micidiale Con te non si sta male
Gates Of The West Composer(s): Mick Jones; Joe Strummer Performer(s): The Clash
I would love to be the lucky one on chill avenue Who could keep your heart warm
when ice has turned it blue But with the beggin' sleeping losers
as they turn in for the night I'm looking back for home
and I can see the lights
I should be jumpin' shoutin'
that I made it all this way From Camden town station to 44th and 8th Not many make it this far and many say we're great But just like them we walk on an' we can't escape our fate Can't you hear the sighing Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue Both say they needed something new
So I'm standing at the gates of the west I burn money at the lights of the sign The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime I'm standing at the gates of the east I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
The immigrants an' remnants of all the glory years Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates He's telling the waitress he's great
Ah say I know somewhere back'n'forth in time Out on the dustbowls, deep in the roulette mine Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday There's a move into the future for the USA
I hear them crying Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue Both said they needed something new
Standing at the gates of the west In the shadow again I'm standing at the gates of the west In the shadow again

But do you love me like I love you baby Say you'll always love me Ooh like I love you And do you need me like I need you baby You know that I'll always be in love with you
I should have known better than to give my heart away (heart away) Well I know true love will always have it's day Your love can last forever In love we'll be together Sharing our love forever more

Love Me For What I Am Composer(s): John Bettis - Palma Pascale Performer(s): The Carpenters; Martin Nievera
We fell in love On the first night that we met Together Weve been happy I have very few regrets The ordinary problems Have not been hard to face But lately little changes Have been slowly taking place Youre always finding something Is wrong in what I do But you cant rearrange my life Because it pleases you
Youve got to love me For what I am For simply being me Dont love me For what you intend Or hope that I will be And if youre only using me To feed your fantasy Youre really not in love So let me go I must be free
If what you want Isnt natural for me I wont pretend to keep you What I am I have to be The picture of perfection Is only on your mind For all your expectations Love can never be designed We either take each other For evrything we are Or leave the life Weve made behind And make another start
Youve got to love me For what I am For simply being me Dont love me For what you intend Or hope that I will be And if youre only using me To feed your fantasy Youre really not in love So let me go I must be free
And if yore only using me To feed your fantasy Youre really not in love So let me go I must be free
Youre really not in love So let me go I must be free
