Orly


Orly
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel;
Florent Pagny; François Rauber



Ils sont plus de deux mille
Et je ne vois qu'eux deux
La pluie les a soudés
Semble-t-il l'un à l'autre
Ils sont plus de deux mille
Et je ne vois qu'eux deux
Et je les sais qui parlent
Il doit lui dire: je t'aime
Elle doit lui dire: je t'aime
Je crois qu'ils sont en train
De ne rien se promettre
C'est deux-là sont trop maigres
Pour être malhonnêtes

Ils sont plus de deux mille
Et je ne vois qu'eux deux
Et brusquement ils pleurent
Ils pleurent à gros bouillons
Tout entourésqu'ils sont
D'adipeux en sueur
Et de bouffeurs d'espoir
Qui les montrent du nez
Mais ces deux déchirés
Superbes de chagrin
Abandonnent aux chiens
L'exploir de les juger

Mais la vie ne fait pas de cadeau!
Et nom de dieu!
C'est triste Orly le dimanche
Avec ou sans Bécaud

Et maintenant ils pleurent
Je veux dire tous les deux
Tout à l'heure c'était lui
Lorsque je disais il
Tout encastrés qu'ils sont
Ils n'entendent plus rien
Que les sanglots de l'autre
Et puis infiniment
Comme deux corps qui prient
Infiniment lentement ces deux corps
Se séparent et en se séparant
Ces deux corps se déchirent
Et je vous jure qu'ils crient
Et puis ils se reprennent
Redeviennent un seul
Redeviennent le feu
Et puis se redéchirent
Se tiennent par les yeux
Et puis en reculant
Comme la mer se retire
Ils consomment l'adieu
Ils bavent quelques mots
Agitent une vague main
Et brusquement ils fuient
Fuient sans se retourner
Et puis il disparaît
Bouffé par l'escalier

La vie ne fait pas de cadeau!
Et nom de dieu!
C'est triste Orly le dimanche
Avec ou sans Bécaud

Et puis il disparaît
Bouffé par l'escalier
Et elle elle reste là
Cœur en croix bouche ouverte
Sans un cri sans un mot
Elle connaît sa mort
Elle vient de la croiser
Voilà qu'elle se retourne
Et se retourne encore
Ses bras vont jusqu'a terre
Ça y est elle a mille ans
La porte est refermée
La voilà sans lumière
Elle tourne sur elle-même
Et déjà elle sait
Qu'elle tournera toujours
Elle a perdu des hommes
Mais là elle perd l'amour
L'amour le lui a dit
Revoilà l'inutile
Elle vivra ses projets
Qui ne feront qu'attendre
La revoilà fragile
Avant que d'être à vendre
Je suis là je le suis
Je n'ose rien pour elle
Que la foule grignote
Comme un quelconque fruit

Mienten


Mienten
Composer(s): Roque Narvaja
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Mienten
el amarillo sol sobre mi frente
el hijo azul que prospera en tu vientre
la vida se detuvo hace tiempo
y de repente
Mienten
la sonrisa del adolescente
las pretenciones de los pretendientes
miente el feliz reflejo en el espejo
de alguna gente

Y mienten
quien dice que no es urgente
porque el fantasma del hambre
se aparece entre mi gente
y no me puedo enderezar
y estoy parado
naci para trabajar, naci para trabajar
y no hay trabajo

Mienten
esa agonia sobre mi pecho verde
la mala racha de un hombre valiente
las cuatro puñaladas de esos cuatro
delincuentes

Mienten
yo te iba a dar lo que tu me pidieses
que no soy yo quien merece perderte
con lo que te he buscado amor mio
no me dejes

Y mienten
que nadie se llame a engaño
han marcado la baraja
y me han robado la suerte
y no me puedo enderezar
y estoy parado
naci para trabajar, naci para trabajar
y no hay trabajo

Orión


Orión
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Cuando la luz de la televisión
no alumbre ya y puedas ver el sol
descubrirás que en un lugar de Orión
se muere una canción
en lunas amarillas, en cielos de vapor

Vendrán sin dar una señal
los que sellaron nuestra edad
Y yo, sentado en mi rincón
incendiaré un papel
apagaré el dolor

No quiero estar, no quiero presentir
No puedo dar, no debo recibir
Sé que hay un momento para no mirar atrás
pero ya no puedo, sólo quiero olvidar
soledad...

Mil estrellas caen en un vaso de cristal
Ya no tengo alas ya no te puedo alcanzar
Siento tanto frío, cómo quisiera descansar
olvidar... soledad

Ángeles de mi sombra beban luces de mí
Mis cadenas y mis fronteras rompo al fin
Despertará tu corazón en un invierno de marfil
y yo andaré un espacio absurdo sin ti

Tal vez nos duela despertar
Tal vez no puedas recordar
que allá, en un lugar de Orión
reencarna una canción
y se apaga una luz...

Miedo A La Oscuridad


Miedo A La Oscuridad
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Yo no soy culpable, ni responsable
por tanta confusión
yo no te hice nada, es mi palabra
palabra de ladrón
de ladrón honrado, a quien le han robado
la luz del corazón...
y esta empezando a salir el sol

Uhh!! si estuvieras hoy aquí
uhh!! yo podría vivir
sin miedo a la oscuridad

Tu plan fue perfecto, yo fui electo
mataste aquel que había en mí
quemaste la evidencia, en tu conciencia
y la enterraste en el jardín
hiciste que parezca un accidente
antes de huir...
el sol esta empezando a salir

Uhh!! si estuvieras hoy aquí
uhh!! yo podría vivir
sin miedo a la oscuridad
si acaso pudieras entender...
yo podría vencer
el miedo a la oscuridad...

Cuando te vi, te vi tan sola y yo me rendí...
por miedo a la oscuridad yo me rendí...
y tuve que amplificar el corazón
para escuchar, escucharlo bien...

Tal vez me veas solo en la noche
esperando el sol
tal vez aquí de nuevo junto al fuego
con un simulador...

Hay luces... luces en el mar...
luces en el mar...

Uhh!! si estuvieras hoy aquí
uhh!! yo podría vivir
sin miedo a la oscuridad
si acaso pudieras entender...
yo podría vencer
el miedo a la oscuridad...

Oriental "Some Day In Araby"


Oriental "Some Day In Araby"
Composer(s): Richard Coborn; Vincent Rose



Dreams of you and I
Beneath the swaying palms of sunlit gardens
Heart of mine, I sigh
For just one glimpse of Araby

Neath a cloudless sky
We'll roam the desert you and I together
Golden hours that fly
When dreams come true in Araby

Some day I will be back in Araby
Land of mystery
Ever dear to me
Over desert sands
Come love's sweet commands
Eyes and lips and hands
Tenderly call to me Araby

Midnight, with the stars and you
Midnight, and a rendezvous
Your eyes held a message tender
Saying, "I surrender all my love to you"

Midnight brought us sweet romance
I know all my whole life through
I'll be remembering you
Whatever else I do
Midnight with the stars and you

O-Rhesus-Negativ


O-Rhesus-Negativ
Performer(s): Udo Lindenberg



Es war Mitternacht, ich ging spazieren
da bemerkte ich
ein Finstermann mit 'm grossen Hut
verfolgte mich
und dann sprach er mich an
schmatzend und mit knirschenden Zähnen
"Ach, würden Sie wohl so freundlich sein
und Ihre Blutgruppe mal erwähnen!"

Ich dachte mir, das ist 'n Vampir
da muß man vorsichtig sein
ich sagte: "Moment, ich guck' mal eben in meinen Ausweis rein"
0-Rhesus-Negativ. Da verzog er sein Gesicht
und meinte: "So 'n Mist, ausgerechnet diese Sorte vertrag' ich nicht!"

Um ihn zu trösten, lud ich ihn ein
auf ein Glas Bier
doch er meinte, das wär' für ihn kein Plaisier
"Es muß schon dieser rote Spezialsaft sein
Es gibt nur ein Getränk, das find' ich gut, und das ist Blut!"

Wir unterhielten uns noch ganz prima
über Klima, Gott und die Welt
und er erzählte mir von seinem Vampirleben
und daß es ihm gut gefällt
er sagt': "Ich brauch' nicht zu malochen
jeden Tag ins Büro zu laufen
am Tag schlaf' ich in meinem Sarg
und nachts geh' ich mich besaufen!"

Ja, wenn das so ist, möchte ich auch Vampir sein
da sagt' er: "Reichen Sie doch mal 'n Antrag
beim transsilvanischen Prüfamt ein
dazu brauchen Sie aber vom Zahnarzt 'n Tauglichkeitsschein
denn wenn die Beisser zu kurz sind
kommen Sie nie rein in unseren Verein!"

Midnight Voyage


Midnight Voyage
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas



On a midnight voyage
One that has no ending
And it's sending me
The things that I need

Far away from shore
Further than I've been before
But I feel the strength of the new sea

Dreams come and go
And I sift through them
Love starts to glow
From the thoughts that I find within them

On a midnight voyage
Searching for my pleasure
Reaching with my mind for something I've dreamed

Loves come and go
And I dream through them
Dreams start to flow
From the love that I find within them

On a midnight voyage
One that has no ending
And it's sending me
Right into my mind

On a midnight voyage!

Come on let's take a midnight voyage
Let me take you on a little trip
Come on, come on
Whoa-whoa-woah, come on
Would you dare to take a little journey
All aboard, all ashore
At your leasure take a pleasure trip
On shore, ashore
Everybody needs a pleasure trip

Orgullo De Metal


Orgullo De Metal
Composer(s): Marco Antonio Solís
Performer(s): Raphael



Que me conoces
Le cuentas a todos
Que no he parado por ti
De llorar

Y hasta presumes
Que pronto estare
Muriendome por querer
Regresar

Dices que esto
Es solo un escarmiento
Para que no se me vaya
A olvidar

Que en cosas de sentimientos
Yo soy
La vieja barca
Y tu eres el mar

Mira hasta donde te traiciono
Tu orgullo de metal
Tu ausencia es el remedio
Que precisaba para mi mal

Mira que te han fallado
Las predicciones que hiciste en mi
Y si eres adivina, a ver, adivina
A quien tengo aqui

Mira hasta donde te traiciono
Tu orgullo de metal
Tu ausencia es el remedio
Que precisaba para mi mal

Midnight Train To Georgia


Midnight Train To Georgia
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips



L.A. proved too much for the man
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know
He said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago
He's leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
He kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So he pawned all his hopes
and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would
Be leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
Go, gonna board, gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
(repeat)

Orgullecida


Orgullecida
Composer(s): Eliseo Silveira
Performer(s): Compay Segundo; Ry Cooder



Orgullecida estoy de ser divina
Y de tener tan linda perfección
Tal vez será que soy alabastrina
Serán los filtros reinos del amor

Luego vendrán los celos del cariño
De aquel volcán de llama tentadora
Y tú podrás lograr que yo te quiera
Porque tú has sido mi única ilusión

Midnight To Six Man


Midnight To Six Man
Composer(s): Bobby Graham; Dick Taylor
Originally performed by: The Pretty Things
Covered by various other artists



I'll never see
The people I know
In the bright lights of day
So how can I say
That you're any friend of mine
See you any time
I'm feelin' fine
Midnight till six
Well that's my time
That's your time

Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six

I sleep through the day
I wake around four
But I always feel down
Never get off the floor
Till the night comes around
See you downtown
Yeah take in some sound
Baby we'll score
Oh tell me some more
Tell him some more

See you downtown
Yeah take in some sound
Baby we'll score
Oh tell me some more
Tell him some more

Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six

Orgone Accumulator


Orgone Accumulator
Composer(s): Dave Brock; Robert Calvert
Performer(s): Hawkwind;
Pop Will Eat Itself; ST 37; Nik Turner



I've got an orgone accumulator
It makes me feel greater
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator

It's no social integrator
It's a one man isolator
It's a back brain stimulator
It's a cerebral vibrator

Those energy stimulators
Just turn your eyeballs into craters
But an orgone accumulator
Is a superman creator

It's no social integrator
It's a one man isolator
It's a back brain stimulator
It's a cerebral vibrator

I've got an orgone accumulator
And it makes me feel greater
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator

Midnight Sun (Lionel Hampton)


Midnight Sun
Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Lionel Hampton; Johnny Mercer
Originally performed by: Lionel Hampton
Covered by various other artists



Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
Warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
Rising to a snowy height

Each star it's own aurora borealis
Suddenly you held me tight
And I could see the Midnight Sun

I can't explain the silver rain that found me
Or was that a moonlight veil?
The music of the universe around me
Or was that a nightingale?

And then your arms miraculously found me
Suddenly the sky turned pale
I could see the Midnight Sun

Was there ever such a night?
It's a thrill I still don't quite believe
But after you were gone
There was still the stardust on my sleeve

The flame of it may dwindle to an ember
And the stars forget to shine
And we may see the meadow in December
Icy white and crystalline

But oh my darling always I'll remember
When your lips were close to mine
And we saw the Midnight Sun

Organ Blues
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): Tyrannosaurus Rex



There's gold in the mountains
And a people living in the sea

I love you and don't you know
That you love me

Yes you do

We make feasties of the beasties
But the beasties just live in the wild

You know that you're slower now
And you were faster when you were a child

Yes you were

Midnight Sun (Badfinger)


Midnight Sun
Composer(s): Pete Ham
Performer(s): Badfinger



Oh no
Oh no
I think it's time for me to run
Well I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come
And if you feel like reminiscing - well come into the midnight sun
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I think I've been away too long
Well I've been coming and I'm going
All the time is growing with fun
And if you feel like something's missing
Well come into the midnight sun
Never be a gooseberry for gooseberries should never see it
Drop the one who's looking at you
Looking at the one who's seeing
you be it
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I think I've been away too long
Well I've been waiting all the summer - counting all the trophies I've won
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun
Oh no
Oh no
I think it's time for me to run
Well I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun
And if you feel like something's missing
Well come into the midnight sun
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun

Ordinary People


Ordinary People
Composer(s): George Posford; Eric Maschwitz
Performer(s): George Formby



You know Sally when I was just a kid like all the others did
I used to dream a out my life's ambition
In turn I planned to be, aye, a sailor on the sea
A crook, a boy scout or even a politician
But here I am with all the dreams I've had
An ordinary chap but still I'm glad

Ordinary people like you and me, happy and contented as we can be
We can walk on air on our ordinary feet
Strolling hand in hand along an ordinary street
Ordinary people are we until, the ordinary time of day is through
And when the ordinary moon - is in the ordinary sky
What extraordinary things we'll do

I had my dreams as well, though they're not much to tell
My schoolgirl head was filled with idle fancies!
But most of all by far I longed to be a star
The heroine of Hollywood romances!
But here I am with nothing as I planned
An ordinary girl and gee, it's grand!

Ordinary people like you and me, happy and contented as we can be
We can walk on air on our ordinary feet
Strolling hand in hand along an ordinary street
Ordinary people are we until, the ordinary time of day is through
And when the ordinary moon - is in the ordinary sky
What extraordinary things we'll do
What extraordinary things we'll do

Midnight Show


Midnight Show
Composer(s): Ron Dante; Gene Allan
Performer(s): Ron Dante



The days will be lonely and the nights so long
But don't you know they're playin' my song
Got myself together and I'm due in L.A.
It's killin' me to leave ya
But I just can't stay

Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me

Don't cry for me, you'll make me cry too
Be glad for me, it's all I wanna do
It's what my life's about, it's all that I know
Come lay beside me once more before I go

Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me

We had just a moment, still there's no time to spend
I've got to see what happens, see it through to the end
I'm torn between my music, girl, and my love for you
Oh, I'd give the whole thing up now, if you asked me to
Please don't ask me to

Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me

Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me ...

Ordinary Man


Ordinary Man
Composer(s): Rik Emmett; Michael Levine; Gil Moore
Performer(s): Triumph



Look in the mirror tell me what do you see
Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me
Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right
Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night
You want to think you're different, but you know you never can
You're just another ordinary man

Hey politician, can't believe a word you say
Almighty media, whose truth d'you sell today?
Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you?
Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to?
The more I get to see, the less I understand
I'm just another ordinary man

Chorus:
Ordinary man
Comes a time to take a stand

No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can
The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman
Everybody plays the game they played since time began
Lawyers and accountant - your media man

Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said
You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head
I see the flash of lightnin'
I hear the thunder roll
A hungry knive, a slice of life
It cuts another soul

Power finds a way to those who take a stand
Stand up ordinary man

Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free
But now I feel the chains of its responsibility
I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe
I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith
I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can
That's the only answer ... for an ordinary man

Chorus

No such thing as easy answers
You play to win and you take your chances

Chorus

Here's to health, here's to wealth
May you never doubt yourself

Chorus

Midnight Rocks


Midnight Rocks
Composer(s): Al Stewart; Peter White
Performer(s): Al Stewart



You say with best intention
Let's throw away convention
Set sail across the water
To find the tides of fortune
I say please understand it
Don't let our love be stranded
Upon the midnight rocks
Upon the midnight rocks

You say there's no endeavour
We couldn't try together
No storm we couldn't weather
We'll ride the wind forever
I hear the words you've spoken
Don't let our love be broken
Upon the midnight rocks
Upon the midnight rocks

Ah, you know you know it's easy
Ah, to let it go believe me
Ah, you know, you know you feel it
Ah, don't lose it when you need it

I know that fascination
With living each sensation
In your imagination
There is no hesitation
I know your mind is turning
Don't let our love lie burning
Upon the midnight rocks
Upon the midnight rocks

I know that fascination
With living each sensation
In your imagination
There is no hesitation
I say please understand it
Don't let our love be stranded
Upon the midnight rocks
