Off And Running


Off And Running
Composer(s): Carole Bayer Sager; Toni Wine
Performer(s): Lesley Gore;
Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders



No matter what you do, no matter what you say
I've had enough of you; I'm gonna break way
I'm off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go
I've had it up to here and I want out

I'd rather get my kicks; I'd rather have me fun
Ain't gonna take your tricks; my life has just begun
Well baby, I'm off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go
I've had it up to here and I want out

Took my love for granted & you pushed your luck too far
Well, you play things underhanded & now I know just what you are
So baby, I'm off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go
I've had it up to here and I want out, yeah

(instrumental)

No matter what you do, oh no matter what you say
I've had enough of you; I'm gonna break way
Oh baby I'm off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go
I've had it up to here and I want out

(repeat & fade)
Yes I am off and I'm runnin' just as far as I can go
I've had it up to here and I want out

Of Niet Soms


Of Niet Soms
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Het mooie van de zon is dat de dag ermee begon
Het aangename van een dame is dat ze niet alleen een vrouw is
Maar voornamelijk een dame
En nog mooier dan dit alles bij elkaar
Is een mooi meisje van veertien jaar

't Is toch goed zoals het is of niet soms
En waarom dan niet als ik mag vragen
Of had u soms iets anders nog gewenst

Het mooie van de maan is dat je hem nooit ziet ondergaan
Het aardige van jou is dat je jongen bent of meisje
Een man, misschien een vrouw
En nog mooier dan dit alles bij elkaar
Zijn de 365 dagen van het jaar

't Is toch goed zoals het is of niet soms
Wat is er van uw dienst, u zoekt het zelf maar uit
En jij, weet je wat je doet, je ziet maar

't Is toch goed zoals het is of niet soms
Wat is er van uw dienst, u zoekt het zelf maar uit
En jij, weet je wat je doet, je ziet maar

Oei, Oei, Oei


Oei, Oei, Oei
Composer(s): Peter Koelewijn
Performer(s): Johan Cruijff



Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei
Het was net of je zomaar uit je schoenen woei
Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei
Heb je dat gezien
Die tellen we voor tien
Jongens wat een loei
Oei, oei, oei

We gingen naar het boksen kijken van een verre neef
Wat kreeg die jongen klappen want die ander was op dreef
Toen kwam die derde ronde en die werd mijn neef fataal
Zijn gympjes onder op de mat en hij lag in de zaal

Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei
Het was net of je zomaar uit je schoenen woei
Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei
Heb je dat gezien
Die tellen we voor tien
Jongens wat een loei
Oei, oei, oei

En na de wedstrijd gingen wij met onze neef op sjouw
We hoopten dat hij zo zijn blauwe oog vergeten zou
Maar in een zaakje riep hij dat er dubbel werd geteld
De ober haalde uit en zei: Dit is je wisselgeld

Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei
Het was net of je zomaar uit je schoenen woei
Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei
Heb je dat gezien
Die tellen we voor tien
Jongens wat een loei
Oei, oei, oei

Toen was de lol eraf en hebben wij met man en macht
Onze arme neef maar meteen naar huis gebracht
Maar zijn echtgenote wachtte woedend in de gang
Dit was de mooiste wedstrijd en wij zaten eerste rang

Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei
Het was net of je zomaar uit je schoenen woei
Oei, oei, oei dat was me weer een loei
Heb je dat gezien
Die tellen we voor tien
Jongens wat een loei
Oei, oei, oei

Oedipus Rex


Oedipus Rex
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer; Evy Mayer



From The Bible to the popular songs
There's on theme that we find all along
With all the things we hail as good
The most sublime is motherhood

There once was an whom so it seems
Once carried this ideal to extremes
He loved his mother and she loved him
And yet his story is rather grim

There once was a man named Oedipus Rex
You may have heard about his odd complex
His name appears in Freud's index
Cause he loved his mother

His rivals used to say quite a bit
That as a monarch he was quite unfit
But still in all they had to admit
That he loved his mother

Yes, he loved his mother like no other
He daughter was his sister
And his son was his brother
One thing on which you can depend is
He sure knew who a boy's best friend is

When he found what he had done
He tore his eyes out one-by-one
A tragic end for a loyal son
Who loved his mother

So be sweet and and kind to mother
Now and then have a chat
About her candy-coloured blossoms
Or a brand new hat
But P'raps you'd better let it go at that

Or you might end up with a quite complex, Complex
And you may end up like Oedipus
I'd rather marry a duck-billed platypus
Than end up like old Oedipus Rex!

Odile


Odile
Composer(s): René Laquier; Etienne Lorin
Performer(s): André Bourvil



C'était en dix neuf cent vingt six
Que sur la grand' route de Senlis
Ell' eu un' pann' d'automobile
Et tandis que je tâtonnais, en essayant de la dépanner
Ell' me murmura, j' m'appelle Odile

Ell'avait un sac en croco, oh oh Odile
Ell'avait une belle auto, oh oh Odile
Ell'avait aussi un très beau châssis, l'automobile
Quand on appuyait sur ses jolies poires
Ca faisait pouet pouet (coin coin)
Oh oh oh ell' avait un sac en crocro oh oh Odile
Ell'avait une belle auto, oh oh Odile
Et sous l'pont arrièr', un peu de poussièr' l'automobile
Ell'avait de bell' couleur, oh oh Odile

Comme je vérifiais l'essieu
Dans mes beaux yeux elle vit les cieux
Mon charme avait conquis Odile
En faisant démarrer l'moteur
J'ai cru entendre parler son cœur
Ainsi démarra notr' idylle

Ell'avait un sac en croco, oh oh Odile
Ell'avait une belle auto, oh oh Odile
Très bien carrossée, la ligne élancée, l'automobile
Quand elle avait froid
Avant d'partir ell' faisait comm' ça, heuh heuh
Oh oh oh ell' avait un sac en crocro, oh oh Odile
Ell'avait une belle auto, oh oh Odile
Deux petits par chocs qu'étaient pas en toc, l'automobile
Ell' se conduisait bien, oh oh Odile

{Instrumental}

Et comme' elle' était très bonn' à croquer, moi je jubile
Car l'ayant épousée, je croque Odile!

Ódiame


Ódiame
Composer(s): Rafael Otero
Performer(s): José Feliciano;
and various other artists



Ódiame por piedad yo te lo pido
ódiame sin medidas ni clemencias
odio quiero más que indiferencia
porque el rencor hiere menos que el olvido (Repeat)

Si tu me odias quedaré yo convencido
de que me amaste mujer con insistencia
pero ten presente de acuerdo a la experiencia
que tan solo se odia lo querido

Que vale más yo niño, tu orgullosa
vale más tu débil hermosura
piensa que en le fondo de la fosa
llevaremos la misma vestidura (Repeat)

Si tu me odias quedaré......

Odeur Des Myrtils


Odeur Des Myrtils
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers
Que demeure-t-il
De nous au grenier
Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers

Ombre mon royaume
Je retrouverais
Les anciens arômes
Et les noirs portraits
Les enfants qui dorment
Les fauteuils boiteux
Les ombres difformes
La trace des jeux

Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers
Que demeure-t-il
De nous au grenier
Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers

C'était moi peut-être
Ou peut-être vous
Les yeux des fenêtres
Sont vides et fous
Dans les mois de paille
Il fait doux guetter
Le cri court des cailles
Divisant l'été

Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers
Que demeure-t-il
De nous au grenier
Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers

Le vent se repose
Aux bords bleus du temps
Les hérons gris-rose
Marchent sur l'étang
Il me semble entendre
Un train loin d'ici
Dans les osiers tendres
Le jour est assis

Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers
Que demeure-t-il
De nous au grenier
Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers

La fin d'août paresse
Et les arbres font
De lentes caresses
Aux plafonds profonds
Mémoire qui meurt
Photos effacées
Rumeur ô rumeur
Des choses passées

Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers
Que demeure-t-il
De nous au grenier
Odeur des myrtils
Dans les grands paniers

Odessa (City On The Black Sea)


Odessa (City On The Black Sea)
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees



Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety nine
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign
Baa baa black sheep, you haven't any wool
Captain Richardson left himself a lonely wife in Hull

Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic sea
I'm on an iceberg running free
Sitting, filing this berg to the shape of a ship
Sailing my way back to your lips
One passing ship gave word that you have moved out of your old flat
You love the Vicar more then words can say
Tell him to pray that I won't melt away
And I'll see your face again

Odessa, how strong am I?
Odessa, how time goes by

Treasure, you know the neighbours that live next door
They haven't got their dog anymore
Freezing, sailing around in the North Atlantic
Can't seem to leave the sea anymore
I just can't understand why you just moved to Finland
You love that Vicar more than words can say
Ask him to pray that I won't melt away
And I'll see your face again

Odessa, how strong am I?
Odessa, how time goes by

Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety nine
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign

Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back


Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back
Composer(s): Billy Edd Wheeler
Performer(s): Billy Edd Wheeler



They past an ordinance in the town
Said we'd have to tear it down
That little brown shack out back so dear to me
Though the health department said
It's day was over and dead
It will stand forever in my memory

Don't let 'em tear that little brown building down
Don't let 'em tear that little brown building down
Don't let 'em tear that little brown building down
There's not another like it in the country or the town

It was not too long ago
That I went tripping through the snow
Out to that house behind my old hound dog
Where I'd sit me down to rest
Like a snow bird on her nest
And read the Sears and Roebuck catalog

I would hum a happy tune
Peeping through the quarter moon
Just like my Pappy's kin had done before
It was in that quiet pot
Daily cares could be forgot
And it gave the same relief to rich and poor

It was not a castle fair
I could build my future there
Build castles to the yellow jacket's drone
I could orbit round the sun
Fight with General Washington
Or be a king upon his own throne

It wasn't fancy built at all
Had newspapers on the wall
It was air conditioned in the wintertime
It was just a humble hut
But it's door was never shut
And a man could get inside without a dime

Ode To Liberty


Ode To Liberty
Composer(s): Jimmy Bain; Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Phil Lynott



The dream was not a vision
Or some preminition like we were told
It was no figment of the imagination
To prove that we could be bought or sold
The doctor of the dimond run
Could be revealed to the intelligent
But this is what I resent
Who cares for the ignorent, the intelligent
The synics approach was mean
Who cares for anything in this whole wide world except me
And this opinion must not confuse the issue
My appearence, my condition
Or state of delivery
I am stating the obvious
This is a protest
There must me a collusion
This is no Shakespearean speach
This is a statement
Made by one who can not practice what he preaches
The statue of liberty
Has engraved on it's wall
Give me your poor, give me your needy
Give me them all
We need something like this
For this world to coexist
It would be so easy
To act so pretencious
To act as if it was hypocracy
To act condecending
When in fact it's the world we're mending
And that's why I can't relax
Cause inside my coat it's a pistol that I pack
We must beware of a suprise neuclear attack
We must be ready to strike back
I'm not pretending
Our defense needs clearly mending
We must leave those standing
Forget the third world is ending
Is starving, Is crying
Is desolate, Is oh so late
I would dearly love to return
Through a mirror in twenty years
And learn what the future has in store for us
And if I learned that we lost
And there was no hope
For those that fight
I would turn to drink
And drink is drugs
And drugs would help me sink
And like of boat, I float
I sail out to the sky
To the universe and back
Maybe to give it another try
I don't know why, why Jack
Just to confirm our Father
Just to learn, just to heal us

Odds And Ends (Bits And Pieces)


Odds And Ends (Bits And Pieces)
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Jody Miller



A photograph that's signed with love
Your lipstick and a tiny glove
Why did you leave so many things
To tear at my heart strings

I made a shamble of our love
That was our king by god above
I broke your heart and now I pay
With memories night and day

Odds and ends, bits and pieces
Of an old love affair
Old love letterers, and some flowers
That you wore in your hair
Odds and ends, bits and pieces
Of those happy by gone years
Odds and ends that keep tugging at my tears

Octubre Azul


Octubre Azul
Performer(s): Victor Heredia



Con el último suspiro de las olas
dieron las doce de un octubre azul
y tu sonrisa viajera por mis venas
abrió las puertas del nacido amor
y allí volvieron enero y la alegría
de aquella tarde en el país del sol
Y habrá en alguna calle
un beso deshojado
una palabra al viento
que grita nuestro amor, amor, amor
y en el espacio abierto de las manos
tendré el amor hablándome de vos

Octopus's Garden


Octopus's Garden
Composer(s): Ringo Starr
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you

Octobre


Octobre
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Le vent fera craquer les branches
La brume viendra dans sa robe blanche
Y aura des feuilles partout
Couchées sur les cailloux
Octobre tiendra sa revanche
Le soleil sortira à peine
Nos corps se cacheront sous des bouts de laine

Perdue dans tes foulards
Tu croiseras le soir
Octobre endormi aux fontaines
Il y aura certainement
Sur les tables en fer blanc
Quelques vases vides et qui traînent
Et des nuages pris aux antennes

Je t'offrirai des fleurs
Et des nappes en couleurs
Pour ne pas qu'Octobre nous prenne
On ira tout en haut des collines
Regarder tout ce qu'Octobre illumine
Mes mains sur tes cheveux
Des écharpes pour deux

Devant le monde qui s'incline
Certainement appuyés sur des bancs
Il y aura quelques hommes qui se souviennent
Et des nuages pris aux antennes
Je t'offrirai des fleurs
Et des nappes en couleurs
Pour ne pas qu'Octobre nous prenne

Et sans doute on verra apparaître
Quelques dessins sur la buée des fenêtres
Vous, vous jouerez dehors
Comme les enfants du nord
Octobre restera peut-être
Vous, vous jouerez dehors
Comme les enfants du nord
Octobre restera peut-être

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care?

And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on and on

Ochentango


Ochentango
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Le hemos dado al mundo
una canción
como para que cante
su decepción,
el ritmo en 2x4
macho y tristón
mueve a Buenos Aires
sin ton ni son

Tokio y Nueva York
aún lo bailan
Valentino y Disepolín
necesitan compañía
Tango, tango, tango
su puño los inspira
tango, tango, tango

Esta suerte de danza
tan sublimal
es parte del folklore
de la ciudad
no hay nadie que se atreva
a desafiar
el misterio del tango
y el arrabal

San Juan, Boedo, París
¿cuál será su raíz?
nena, bailémoslo apretados
Tango, tango, tango
Nena, si sientes algo extraño es
tango, tango, tango

Och Han Väntar På Mej


Och Han Väntar På Mej
English Title: And He Is Waiting For Me
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Bosse Carlgren
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Smyger till fönstret, ser ut över gården
Jag känner att hjärtat står stilla en stund
Jag bär mej ju åt precis som en tonårstjej
Och han står där ännu och han väntar på mej

Väntar i porten, förklarar sin kärlek
Och trapphuset baddar i ljus när han ler
Och allt som han ber om så svarar jag alltid ``nej''
Men han står där ännu och han väntar på mej

Han är ju ett litet barn, kanske femton, och han är kär
Vi talar i nån minut, kanske femton, vet att jag måste gå
Men vill stanna kvar ändå
Kan inte förstå

Sitter på jobbet och bläddrar i papper
Jag tänker på honom och ler åt mej själv
Så löjligt att undra om han har gått hem till sej
Eller står där ännu för att vänta på mej

Han är ju ett litet barn, kanske femton, och han är kär
Jag röker en cigarett, kanske femton, sitter här leende
Sånt fånigt beteende
Kan inte förstå

Väntar i porten, förklarar sin kärlek
Och trapphuset baddar i ljus när han ler
Och allt som han ber om, så svarar jag alltid ``nej''
Men han står där ännu och han väntar på mej
Men han står där ännu och han väntar på mej

Ocean Gypsy


Ocean Gypsy
Composer(s): Michael Dunford; Betty Thatcher
Performer(s): Renaissance;
Blackmore's Night; Annie Haslam



Tried to take it all away
Learn her freedom just inside a day
And find her soul
To find their fears allayed

Tried to make her love their own
They took her love they left her there
They gave her nothing back
That she would want to own

Gold and silver rings and stones
Dances slowly of the moon
No-one else can know
She stands alone

Sleeping dreams will reach for her
She cannot say the words they need
She knows she's alone
And she is free

[Chorus:]
Ocean gypsy of the moon
The sun has made a thousand nights
For you to hold
Ocean gypsy where are you
The shadows followed by the stars
Have turned to gold, turned to gold

Then she met a hollow soul
Filled him with her light
And was consoled she was the moon
And he, the sun was gold

Eyes were blinded with his light
The sun she gave
Reflected back the night
The moon was waning almost out of sight

Softly ocean gypsy calls
Silence holds the stars awhile
They smile sadly
For her where she falls

Just the time before the dawn
The sea is hushed
The ocean calls her
Day has taken her and now she's gone

[Chorus]

No-one noticed when she died
Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide
The ebbing waves were turning
Spreading wide

Something gone within her eyes
Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand
Her battered soul was lost
She was abandoned

Silken threads like wings still shine
Winds take pleasure still make patterns
In her lovely hair
So dark and fine

Stands on high beneath the seas
Cries no more
Her tears have dried
Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs

[Chorus]

Ocean Deep


Ocean Deep
Composer(s): Jon Sweet; Rod Trott
Performer(s): Cliff Richard; William Hung



Love can’t you see I’m alone
Can’t you give this fool a chance
A little love is all I ask - a little kindness
In the night
Please don’t leave me behind
No - don’t tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask and that is all

Oh love I’ve been searching so long
I’ve been searching high’n’low
A little love is all I ask - a little sadness
When you’re gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don’t let’s pretend
A little love is all I ask and that is all

I wanna spread my wings - but I just can’t fly
As a string of pearls and pretty girls go sailing by

Ocean deep - I’m so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my -
Solitary room
Ocean deep - will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I’ll keep - ocean deep

Love can’t you hear when I call
Can’t you hear a word I say
A little love is all I ask
A little feeling when we touch
Why am I still alone?
I’ve got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask - and that is all

I wanna spread my wings - but I just can’t fly
As a string of pearls and pretty girls go sailing by

Ocean deep - I’m so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my -
Solitary room
Ocean deep - will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I’ll keep - ocean deep

I’m so lonely lonely lonely...
Maybe..
