Galway Bay
Galway Bay
Composer(s): Arthur Colahan
Performer(s): Johnny Cash;
and various other artists
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
Then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play
For the breezes blowing over the seas from Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands digging praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know
For the strangers came and tried to teach their way
They scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star
And if there is going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there's going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish Sea

Love Is The Thing
Love Is The Thing
Composer(s): Ned Washington - Victor Young
Performer(s): Ethel Waters
and multiple other artists
My darling all around us people clamour
They're striving for the thing they'll never own
The only thing that hasn't lost its glamour
Is love, and love alone
What does it matter if we're rich or we're poor
Fortune and fame they never endure
For love is the thing, love is the thing
What good is money if your heart isn't light
And here in your arms I'm wealthy tonight
When youth has its fling, love is the thing
While others fight for power
We can walk among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is the thing that is free
Love for you and me
And even though our castles crumble and fall
We have the right to laugh at them all
For love is still king, love is the thing
While others fight for power
We can walk among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is the thing that is free
Love for you and me
And even though our castles crumble and fall
We have the right to laugh at them all
For love is still king, love is the thing

Missing (Bernard Lavilliers)
Missing
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Panique chez les producteurs
Plus aucune nouvelle du chanteur
Personne aux fumeries d'opium
Au fond du 13ème, dans le gang des gongs
Personne chez les salseros
Les fumeurs de crack latinos
Idem dans le ganja system
Chez les rastamen de la plaine
Disparu, l'animal, sur les traces d'une perverse
Qui bougeait bien les fesses
Disparu, en cavale, parti avec la caisse
Sans laisser d'adresse
Personne dans les nuits douteuses
Des banquettes en skaï des gagneuses
Motus chez le Président
Madame a gardé des penchants
Silence chez les Parisiens
Mais la gauche caviar ne sait vraiment rien
C'est sûr qu'il s'est fait la belle
Sous le nez des balances de Pradel
Disparu, l'animal, sur les traces d'une perverse
Qui bougeait bien les fesses
Perdu de vue, en cavale, parti avec la caisse
Sans laisser d'adresse
Sourires chez les scélérats
Chez les bookmakers, les malfrats
Ramdam chez les Siciliens
Mais ils ne parlent pas, tu sais bien
Silence dans les stands de tir
Y a vraiment personne qui l'a vu partir?
Questions sur le faux passeport
Mais le ministère fait le mort
Disparu, l'animal, sur les traces d'une perverse
Qui bougeait bien les fesses
Disparu, en cavale, parti avec la caisse
Sans laisser d'adresse
Disparu, l'animal, sur les traces d'une perverse
Qui bougeait bien les fesses
Disparu, en cavale, parti avec la caisse
Sans laisser d'adresse

Galveston
Galveston
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell;
and various other artists
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston

On The Street Where You Live
On The Street Where You Live
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
First performance/First release by: John Michael King - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages
1958 - La Calle Donde Vives (Salvador Quiroz)
1960 - De Straat Waar Jij Woont (Richard Prince)
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

Love Is The Sweetest Thing
Love Is The Sweetest Thing
Composer(s): Ray Noble
Performer(s): Ray Noble
and multiple other artists
Love is the sweetest thing
What else on earth could ever bring
Such happiness to ev'rything
As Love's old story
Love is the strangest thing
No song of birds upon the wing
Shall in our hearts more sweetly sing
Than Love's old story
Whatever heart may desire
Whatever fate may send
This is the tale that never will tire
This is the song without end
Love is the greatest thing
The oldest yet, the latest thing
I only hope that fate may bring
Love's story to you

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

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

You've been starring in my dreams

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"

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
