Missing (Arcadia)


Missing
Composer(s): Nick Rhodes; Simon Lebon; Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Arcadia



And as I wander down
to where you lay
The blood rushed up
to meet the roses in your hair
I thought I saw you smile
But now I don't see you
Anywhere

Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me?
When you're not
Really here

Stumbling out I made my way
towards the open door
Climbing fast the Sun poured streaming
laughter down into your empty gaze
I cannot find you
Now I want to join in your game
I hear you calling
I hear you
Calling..

Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
How do you really dare?

Love Is The Seventh Wave


Love Is The Seventh Wave
Composer(s): Sting
First release by: Sting - 1985
Covered by multiple other artists



In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper wave than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper wave than this
Tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of our fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave

Misschien Wordt 'T Morgen Beter


Misschien Wordt 'T Morgen Beter
Composer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk
Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk



Hier zit ik op een vuilnishoop
Ik kijk droevig om me heen
Ik zie vodden en oude flessen
Excuseert u me, ik ween
Ja, ik huil een paar dikke tranen
En ik zing met benard gemoed

Misschien wordt het morgen beter
Maar het wordt toch nooit goed
Misschien wordt het morgen beter
Maar het wordt toch nooit goed

Want burgers, het is een rotzooi
Van het einde tot het begin
Of bent u vooruitstrevend?
Haha! Daar blijf ik bijna in!
Een merkwaardig soort illusie
Naar de afgrond coûte que coûte

En misschien wordt het morgen beter
Maar het wordt toch nooit goed
En misschien wordt het morgen beter
Maar het wordt toch nooit goed

De wereld is vol van dingen
Waar de mensen bang voor zijn
De een kan niet tegen vrouwen
En de ander niet tegen wijn
Eerlijk zullen we alles delen
Jij het zuur en ik het zoet

En misschien wordt het morgen beter
Maar het wordt toch nooit goed
En misschien wordt het morgen beter
Maar het wordt toch nooit goed

Als ik ziek ben, bel ik de dokter
En dat vindt die man wel leuk
Maar radioactieve uitslag
En radioactieve jeuk
Daar bestaan er geen pillen tegen
En het helpt niet wat je doet

En misschien wordt het morgen beter
Al wordt het toch nooit goed
En misschien wordt het morgen beter
Al wordt het toch nooit goed

Onder ons gezegd, burgers,
De wereld is op en neer
Het is een vreselijke bende
Vindt u ook niet, mijnheer
Ik zie helemaal geen strand meer
Tussen eb en tussen vloed

En misschien wordt het morgen beter
Al wordt het toch nooit goed
En misschien wordt het morgen beter
Al wordt het toch nooit goed

Galadriel


Galadriel
Composer(s): John Lees
Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest



She comes up with the morning sun
And tells me life has just begun
Oh what it is to be young

And in the early evening light
She brings me flowers from the sun
Oh what it is to be young

And if you see her you will know
She's like a shadow
Falling softly on the snow

And in the early evening light
She brings me flowers for the night
Oh what it is to be young

Love Is The Foundation


Love Is The Foundation
Composer(s): William C. Hall
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn; Conway Twitty; Charlie Louvin



I've seen him as he awakens in the morning
He reaches out his hand and without a word
As his fingers softly fall upon my face
He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him

And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When he gives me more loving than a lifetime of looking could ever find
And love is the foundation we lean on ...

And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When he gives me more loving than a lifetime of looking could ever find
And love is the foundation we lean on ...

Miss You Nights


Miss You Nights
Composer(s): David Townsend
Originally performed by: Cliff Richard
Covered by various other artists



I’ve had many times
I can tell you
Times when innocence I’d trade for company
And children saw me crying
I thought I’d had my share of that
But these miss you nights
Are the longest

Midnight diamonds
Stud my heaven
Southward burning
Lie the jewels that eye my place
And the warm winds
That embrace me
Jst as surely kissed your face
Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest

How I miss you
I’m not likely to tell
I’m a man and cold day light
Buys the pride I’d rather sell
All my secrets
Are wasted affair
You know them well

Thinking of my going
How to cut the thread
And leave it all behind
Looking windward for my compass
I take each day as it arrives
But these miss you nights
Are the longest

Lay down all thought of your surrender
It’s only me who’s killing time
Lay down all dreams and themes once remembered
It’s just the same
This miss you game
Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest

Gagner Du Temps


Gagner Du Temps
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Tous les matins et tous les soirs Paris marche sur les pieds
Paris me croise sans me voir me bousculant sans se soucier
Des billets de loterie nationale que je lui tends depuis 20 ans
J'me souviens pas qu' la capitale un jour lui sourit en passant

Quand ma voix se veut amicale je m'en repens au même instant
Car je vois l'heure machinale me signifié qu'il est grand temps
Qui l'est grand temps parce que le temps est la conscience du passant
Et c'est surtout pas en parlant qui pourrait bien
Gagner du temps

Et pourtant j'aime les passants il me rappelle mes amis
Ce que j'aurais eu si la vie n'avait pas fait que des passants
Y a les poètes les fous les dignes et ceux qui change tous les jours
Il laisse leurs rêves à la consigne pour les décrocher au retour

Parce que le temps évidemment est la conscience du passant
C'est surtout pas en rêvant qui pourrait bien
Gagner du temps

Et sur les quais je les attends j'attends l'éternel amoureux
Qui tôt les matins tristement descend du train de neuf heures deux
J'attends la fille de neuf heures quatre celle qui arrive toujours trop tard
Pour qu'un jour elle entendre battre le cœur de l'éternel fuyant

Dire que moi seul sait qu'il se cherche dans la cohue des morts vivants
Je voudrais leur tendre la perche oui mais que faire contre le temps

Parce que le temps évidemment n'en a que faire des amants
C'est surtout pas en s'aimant qui pourrait bien
Gagner du temps

Mais moi je reste le vieillard celui qui vient vous ennuyer
Que l'on voit s'éloigner pénard dès qu'on s'empresse d'oublier
Parce que le temps évidemment est la conscience du passant
C'est surtout pas en s' souvenant qui pourrait bien
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps
Gagner du temps

Love Is The Drug


Love Is The Drug
Composer(s): Andy Mackay - Bryan Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



T´ain´t no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T´ain´t no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me

I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah

Gabrielle (Hootenanny Singers)


Gabrielle
Composer(s): Thomas; Rossner
Performer(s): Hootenanny Singers



Gabrielle, torka tåren
När det grönskar i snåren
Skall jag komma med våren
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Gabrielle, torka kinden
Gör dig klar, möt vid grinden
Snart så bär sunnanvinden
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Blå ocean, skiljer oss åt
Skeppet det stävar i natten
Stampar och slår
Rullar och går
Veckor förvandlas till år

Gabrielle, torka tåren
När det grönskar i snåren
Skall jag komma med våren
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Gabrielle, torka kinden
Gör dig klar, möt vid grinden
Snart så bär sunnanvinden
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Havet är stort
Vägen är lång
Från Panama och från Rio
Men vägen hem
Känns ändå kort
Kort mot den väg som bär bort

Gabrielle, torka tåren
När det grönskar i snåren
Skall jag komma med våren
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Gabrielle, torka kinden
Gör dig klar, möt vid grinden
Snart så bär sunnanvinden
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Gabrielle, torka kinden
Gör dig klar, möt vid grinden
Snart så bär sunnanvinden
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Tu avevi scritto con me
pagine piene d'amore
tante parole che poi
sono mancate fra noi
la nostra storia può
non finire così
basta un sorriso, lo sai
ricominciamo, se vuoi
Avevi scritto con me
pagine piene d'amore
tante parole che poi
sono mancate fra noi
la nostra storia può
non finire così
basta un sorriso, lo sai
ricominciamo, se vuoi
Ma domani
potrò gridare a tutto questo mondo
che io ti voglio tanto tanto bene
e non amo che te
ma domani
potrò gridare a tutto questo mondo
che ti voglio tanto tanto bene
tanto tanto bene.

I miss you
Since you went away, dear
Miss you
More than I can say, dear
Daytime, nightime
Nothing I do can make me forget
That I still love you

Why we had to break up
Wondering
If we'll ever make up
Wondering
If you ever miss me
As I miss you

I keep wondering
If you ever miss me
As I miss you

Gabrielle (Johnny Hallyday)


Gabrielle
Composer(s): Tony Cole
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Gabrielle, tu brûles mon esprit
Ton amour étrangle ma vie
Et l'enfer, devient comme un espoir
Car dans tes mains je meurs chaque soir
Je veux partager autre chose que l'amour dans ton lit
Et entendre la vie et ne plus m'essouffler sous tes cris
Oh fini... fini pour moi
Je ne veux plus voir mon image dans tes yeux

{Refrain:}
Dix ans de chaîne sans voir le jour c'était ma peine forçat de l'amour
Et bonne chance à celui qui veut ma place {oui ma place}
Dix ans de chaîne sans voir le jour c'était ma peine forçat de l'amour
J'ai refusé, mourir d'amour enchaîné

Gabrielle, tu flottes dans mon cœur
C'est une illusion de douceur
Et tu chantes, c'est la voix d'une enfant
Avec laquelle tu glaces mon sang
Je veux t'expliquer tu confonds et le jour et la nuit
Je veux t'approcher, mais tu tournes le dos et tu t'enfuis
Oh sais-tu vraiment ce que tu veux faire
Je ne serai plus l'esclave de ta chair

{Refrain}

J'ai refusé, mourir d'amour enchaîné
{ad libitum}

Je Suis À Toi (Sandra Kim)


Je Suis À Toi ((aka Une Poussière Dans Le Coeur (Line Renaud) - 1969))
((Adapted from: Can't Take My Eyes Off You (Frankie Valli) - 1967))
Composer(s): Robert Crewe Jr. - Robert Gaudio - Rosario Marino-Atria
Performer(s): Sandra Kim - 1993

Versions In Other Languages:
1967 - Preciso Olhar Pra Você (Jean Carlo)
1968 - Per Ricominciare (Mina)



Tu m'fais changer comme tu veux
Je suis à toi quand tu veux
Je suis sirène ou tigresse
Cela dépend de ta tendresse
Dès que tu as envie de moi
Tu me fais tourner entre tes doigts
Et moi j'aime tellement ça
Que je me roule dans tes bras

Il suffit que tu retardes
Et tous les murs se lézardent
J'te vois dans tous les fossés
Ou dans les bras d'une poupée
Mais dès que tu passes cette porte
C'est un bonheur fou qui m'emporte
Et soudain je ne sens plus
Cette angoisse qui me tue

Je suis à toi
Pourquoi chercher ailleurs
Ce que t'as déjà
Je suis facile, docile
Si tu ne cherches pas
À te jouer de moi ...

Oh Je suis à toi
Tu n' trouv'ras pas ailleurs
Ce que t'as chez moi
Je suis geisha, gitane
Ou Lolita et chaque nuit
Je suis à toi ...

J'ai eu mon éclair de chance
En faisant ta connaissance
Même s'il a fallu arracher
Ma liberté au monde entier
Pour toi, je n'ai jamais déserté
Le grand lit où tu m'as aimée
Alors je n'imagine même pas
De vivre une seconde sans toi

Je suis à toi
Pourquoi chercher ailleurs
Ce que t'as déjà
Je suis facile, docile
Si tu ne cherches pas
A te jouer de moi ...

Oh Je suis à toi
Tu n' trouv'ras pas ailleurs
Ce que t'as chez moi
Je suis geisha, gitane
Ou Lolita et chaque nuit
Je suis à toi ...

Je suis à toi
Pourquoi chercher ailleurs
Ce que t'as déjà
Je suis facile, docile
Si tu ne cherches pas
A te jouer de moi ...

Miss The Mississippi And You


Miss The Mississippi And You
Composer(s): Bill Haley
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
and various other artists



I'm growing tired on the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
I am sad and weary, far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you

Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I go
Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over
Always along and blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's door
Miss the Mississippi and you

I'm growing tired on the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
I am sad and weary, far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you

Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I go
Miss the Mississippi and you

Ozark Mountain Jubilee


Ozark Mountain Jubilee
Composer(s): Scott Anders; Roger Murrah
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



I hear a rooster crowin'
It's a frosty mornin'
I can almost see the sign
Goin' so fast I can't stop
I'm just a stones-throw from Little Rock
Headin' for that Missouri line

Don't need a map to get there
You can get there from anywhere
When you're goin' in your head
I can see the arms outreachin'
Just like the day I was leavin'
It's been oh so many years

Let me get on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line
Take my time
And see all I can see
Fiddler rosin up your bow
We'll have our own
Ozark Mountain Jubilee

If I can't be a favorite son
I'll be the prodigal one
'Cause I've been gone too long
Oh how the years have flown by
Oh how I've realized
How much of me is gone

(repeat chorus)

Love Is The Answer


Love Is The Answer
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren - Willie Wilcox - Roger Powell
First release by: Utopia - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists



Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here anymore

And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore to shore
If there's a shortcut, I'd have found it
But there's no easy way around it

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls

And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try?

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Tell me, are we alive or a just a dying planet?
What are the chances?
Ask the man in your heart for the answers

And when you feel afraid, love one another
When you've lost your way, love one another
And when you're all alone, love one another
And when you're far from home, love one another
And when you're down and out, love one another
And when your hope runs out, love one another
And when you need a friend, love one another
And when you're near the end, love
We got to love
We got to love one another

Been thinking 'bout you all night
Guess you got me in your spell
But I think that I'll be allright
Even if I don't get well....

Hey, Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms....

I can still remember
What you told me with your eyes
One kiss
Now it's down to this
Guess it's time you realize

Hey, Miss Sun, what could I say
I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms
Has you back in my arms.....

Hey, Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning
Has you back in my arms,
In my arms..... ooh.... ooh.... ah.... ah....ahh
Yeah..... yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you but the moon got in my way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms....

One kiss is what I need.....
One kiss.... give it to me......
It won't be long until the morning has you......
Won't be long until the morning has you back in my arms......

One kiss....I realize
One kiss....I can see it in your eyes

Oh, it won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms.....

Oye Guitarra Mía


Oye Guitarra Mía
Composer(s): Ramon Arcusa; Manuel de la Calva
Performer(s): José Feliciano;
Nydia Caro; Angela Carrasco



Oye guitarra mía
tu que sabes hablar mejor
quiero que tu le digas
lo que siente mi corazón
Oye guitarra mía
tu que sabes hablar mejor
quiero que tu le digas
lo que siento yo por su amor

Dile que la luz del día
dile que el amanecer
dile que cada momento
me recuerda su querer
me recuerda su querer

Oye guitarra mía.....

Y que al contemplar la noche
con mi alma enamorada
la negrura de los cielos
me recuerda su mirada
me recuerda su mirada

Oye guitarra mía.....

Dile que en la madrugada
recuerdo sus frases bellas
mientras muero en mis suspiros
con la luz de las estrellas
con la luz de las estrellas

Oye guitarra mía.....

Dile que mientras yo duermo
ella está en todos mis sueños
no preguntes que me pasa
si es que triste me despierto
es que al despertar la pierdo

Oye guitarra mía......
