One More Time To Live


One More Time To Live
Composer(s): John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye

One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldy rhymes

and he who wants to fight begins the end of time
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these

Desolation
Creation (Tell me someone why there's only confusion)
Evolution (Tell me someone that this is all an illusion)
Pollution (Tell me someone)
Saturation (Tell me someone)
Population
Annihilation
Revolution (Tell me someone why this talk of revolution)
confusion (Tell me someone when we're changing evolution)
Illusion (Tell me someone)
Conclusion (Tell me someone)
Starvation
Degredation
Humiliation
Contemplation (Changes in my life)
Inspiration
Elation (Changes in my life)
Salvation (Changes in my life)
Communication
Compassion
Solution

Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by
Hear the birds sing such

One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine
Turn the earth to sand and still commit no crime
How one thought will live provide the others die
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these

(Repeat middle part)

Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye

Merde À Vauban


Merde À Vauban
Composer(s): Pierre Seghers; Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Léo Ferré



Bagnard, au bagne de Vauban
Dans l'îl' de Ré
J'mang' du pain noir et des murs blancs
Dans l'îl' de Ré
À la vill' m'attend ma mignonn'
Mais dans vingt ans
Pour ell' je n'serai plus personn'
Merde à Vauban

Bagnard, je suis, chaîne et boulet
Tout ça pour rien,
Ils m'ont serré dans l'îl' de Ré
C'est pour mon bien
On y voit passer les nuages
Qui vont crevant
Moi j'vois s'faner la fleur de l'âge
Merde à Vauvan

Bagnard, ici les demoiselles
Dans l'îl' de Ré
S'approch'nt pour voir rogner nos ailes
Dans l'îl' de Ré
Ah ! Que jamais ne vienne celle
Que j'aimais tant
Pour elle j'ai manqué la belle
Merde à Vauban

Bagnard, la belle elle est là-haut
Dans le ciel gris
Ell' s'en va derrière les barreaux
Jusqu'à Paris
Moi j'suis au mitard avec elle
Tout en rêvant
À mon amour qu'est la plus belle
Merde à Vauban

Bagnard, le temps qui tant s'allonge
Dans l'îl' de Ré
Avec ses poux le temps te ronge
Dans l'îl' de Ré
Où sont ses yeux où est sa bouche
Avec le vent
On dirait parfois que j'les touche
Merde à Vauban

C'est un p'tit corbillard tout noir
Etroit et vieux
Qui m'sortira d'ici un soir
Et ce s'ra mieux
Je reverrai la route blanche
Les pieds devant
Mais je chant'rai d'en d'ssous mes planch's
Merde à Vauban

One More Sunrise


One More Sunrise
German Title: Morgen
Composer(s): Karl Mosser; Noel Sherman
Performer(s): Petula Clark; Leslie Uggams



One more sunrise
One more day to get through
One more sunrise
One more day without you
And false lips that I knew could never be true

One more (one more) sunrise (sunrise)
Now the heartaches begin
Wond'rin' (wond'rin') wand'rin' (wand'rin')
Through the places we've been
Hopin' that I can keep my sunny-side grin

Though our love is dead and gone
In my heart it still lives on and on
Feel like some poor dyin' swan
Tired of flyin', tryin', day by day I'm dyin'

One more sunrise
One more day we're apart
One more sunrise
One more daybreak for a breakin' heart

One more sunrise
One more daybreak for a brea-a-kin' hear-ear-ear-ear-eart

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy


Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
Composer(s): Johnny "Guitar" Watson;
Larry Williams; Joe Zawinul
Originally performed by: Marlena Shaw



My baby she may not a-look
Like one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club
But she got somethin' much greater than gold
Crazy bout that girl 'cause she got so much soul

I said she got the kind of lovin', kissin' and a-huggin'
Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow and I know
That she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me
'Cause she knocks me off my feet
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do

My baby when she walks by
All the fellows go mmmm, and I know why
It's simply 'cause that girl she looks so fine
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
[repeat chorus]

Everybody in the neighborhood
Will testify that my girl she looks so good
She's so fine she'd give eyesight to the blind
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
[repeat chorus]

Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel, yeah, it's all right
Mercy, mercy, mercy

One More Sign


One More Sign
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield



No, I'm not gonna to hide my feelings
Couldn't if I tried
No, I'm not holding them inside
Holding back is so close to stealing
Though we both have tried
We could lose it all if we lied

Someday it's later than
The feelings we have now
It's of the ground
I've always played around
But now I don't know how

Listen easy because I'm saying
What I mean this time
Sharing words I always said were mine
I was breezy, now I'm swaying
Like the tree we climbed
Asking you to give me one more sign

Mercy Mercy Me (Ecology)


Mercy Mercy Me (Ecology)
Composer(s): Marvin Gaye
Originally performed by: Marvin Gaye
Covered by various other artists



Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

One More Saturday Night


One More Saturday Night
Composer(s): Bob Weir; Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead;
Bees Make Honey; Kingfish;
David Murray; The Persuasions



I went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine
I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign
Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white
Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight

Chorus
Uh huh, hey, Saturday night
One more Saturday night
Hey, Saturday night

Everybody's dancing down at the local armory
With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery
Temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high
Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly

[chorus]

I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news
Says I got no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues
His wife says don't get crazy, Lord you know what to do
Just crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes

[chorus]

Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth
Thought he'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it planet earth
Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes
When the rocking, rolling music meets the rising, shining sun

[chorus]

Ik Kreeg Toen De Schuld Van Jou


Ik Kreeg Toen De Schuld Van Jou
Composer(s): P. Kartner
Performer(s): Corry Konings



Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou
Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw
Toch liet jij mij hier alleen
Waar moet ik nou heen
Jij hebt mij geluk gebracht
Nooit had ik er aan gedacht
Dat het ooit nog stuk zou gaan
Kijk mij eenmaal aan

Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer t’rug wil zien
Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien
Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij
Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij

Waarom ging die droom voorbij
Want jij houd niet meer van mij
Niets was mooier op deez aard
Niets was toch meer waard

Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou
Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw
Toch liet jij mij hier alleen
Waar moet ik nou heen

Wanneer komt de tijd dat jij me weer t’rug wil zien
Of heb je voorgoed een ander na mij misschien
Is het nu tussen ons dan voorgoed voorbij
Eens heb jij mij toch gezegd, jij bent altijd van mij

Ik kreeg toen de schuld van jou
Maar jij was mij ook niet trouw
Toch liet jij mij hier alleen
Waar moet ik nou heen
Waar moet ik nou heen

One More Red Nightmare


One More Red Nightmare
Composer(s): Robert Fripp;
Richard Palmer-James; John Wetton
Performer(s): King Crimson; Realm



Pan American nightmare
Ten thousand feet fun-fair
Convinved that I don’t care
It’s safe as houses I swear
I was just sitting musing
The virtues of cruising
When altitude dropping
My ears started popping
One more red nightmare

Sweat beginning to pour down
My neck as I turn round
I heard fortune shouting
Just get off of this outing
A farewell swan song
See you know how turbulence can be
The stewardess made me
One more red nightmare

Reality stirred me
My angel had heard me
The prayer had been answered
A reprieve has been granted
The dream was now broken
Thought rudely awoken
Really safe and sound
Asleep on the greyhound
One more red nightmare

Composer(s): Don Covay; Ronald Dean Miller
Originally performed by: Don Covay & the Goodtimers
Covered by various other artists



Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, have mercy on me
Well I went to see the gypsy
To have my fortune read She said "Man, your baby gonna leave you
Her bags are packed up under the bed"
That's right

Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, have mercy on me
But if you leave me baby
Girl if you put me down
I'm gonna make it to the nearest river child
And jump overboard and drown
That's right

Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, have mercy on me
I said hey hey baby, hey hey now
What you trying to do
Hey hey baby, hey hey now
Please don't say we're through

Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, have mercy on me
But if you stay baby
I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna work two jobs, seven days a week
And bring my money home to you
That's right
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, have mercy on me
Yeah

Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, have mercy on me

One More Night (Phil Collins)


One More Night
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



I've been trying oh so long, to let you know
let you know how I feel
So if I stumble and if I fall, just help me back
so I can make you see

Please give me one more night, give me that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, just give me that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long, just wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering, should I call you, then I thought, maybe you're not alone

Oh please give me one more night, just give me that one more night
One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, just give me that one more night
One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
Just give me one more night, give me that one more night
Just one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea, I will always be with you
And if you said a word, I would follow you

To give me one more night, just give me that one more night
One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever

I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words
But if you change your mind, you know that I'll be he
And maybe we both can learn

Ah give me just one more night, give me that one more night
Just one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever
Just give me one more night, oh give me that one more night
Just one more night, 'cos I can't wait forever

Mercy


Mercy
Composer(s): Steve Feldman; Joey Levine
Performer(s): Ohio Express



I love you mercy, mercy
Oh, you know, you're such a beautiful thing
You're laying kisses on me girl
All you know all the pleasure it brings
Ah, ah, ah, ah
You're spending all my money
And you're making me crawl up the wall
Mercy, mercy
You're doing me without any mercy at all
And I'm calling you
Have mercy, mercy have mercy on me
Have mercy, mercy, mercy on me
A man's supposed to be stronger
And is used to getting his way, ah
But mercy girl you got my number
And I'll do any thing that you say
But stop playing with me
Have mercy, mercy have mercy on me
Have mercy, mercy, mercy on me

One More Mountain To Climb


One More Mountain To Climb
Composer(s): Al Kasha; Joel Hirschhorn
Performer(s): Ronnie Dove



You open your arms when you see me
You cry when I walk away
But though you tell me you need me
There's still one word you won't say

I've got one more mountain to climb
One more river to cross
Say you love me this time
I've got one more mountain to climb

I know that somebody hurt you
He broke each promise he made
But I'd rather die than desert you
So love me and don't be afraid

I've got one more mountain to climb
One more river to cross
Say you love me this time
I've got one more mountain to climb

You need me, I know it
You do little things to show it
I keep getting closer to you
So why can't you say you love me too?

One more mountain to climb
One more river to cross
Say you love me this time
I've got one more mountain to climb

Non Andare Via


Non Andare Via ((aka Non Lasciarmi Solo (by Duilio Del Prete) - 2002)) ((Adapted from: Ne Me Quitte Pas (by Simone Langlois) - 1959)) Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Gino Paoli Performer(s): Gino Paoli - 1962 and multiple other artists Titles In Other Languages: 1961 - Laat Me Niet Alleen (by Jacques Brel) 1963 - Bitte Geh' Nicht Fort (by Marlene Dietrich) 1966 - If You Go Away (by Damita Jo) 1968 - Se Você Voltar (by Agnaldo Timóteo) 1984 - Ala Vetää Vaan (by Susanna Haavisto) 1990 - Não Me Deixes Mais (by Raimundo Fagner)



Non andare via
Puoi dimenticare
Tutto quello che, se n'è andato già
Tutti i malintesi, e tulti i perchè
Che uccidevano, la felicità
Puoi dimenticare, tutto il tempo che
E passato già, non esiste più
Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via
Non andare via
Io io ti offriro
Perle di pioggia venute da dove non piove mai
Apriro la terra giù fino nel fondo
Per coprirti d'oro, d'oro e di luce
E ti portero, dove non c'è più
Che quel che tu vuoi, che quel che tu cerchi
Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via
Non andare via
Non andare via
Per te inventero
Le parole pazze, che tu capirai
E ti parlero, di due amanti che
Per due volte già, hanno visto il fuoco
Ti raccontero, la storia di un re, che mori perchè
Non li vide mai
Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via
Nel vulcano spento, che credevi morto
Molte volte il fuoco è rinato ancora
Ed il fuoco brucia, tutto quanto intorno
E non riconosce, niente e nessuno
E quando c'è sera, e c'è il fuoco in cielo
Il rosso ed il nero, non hanno un confine
Non andare via, non andare via, non andare via
Non andare via
Non andare via
Io non piango più, io non parlo più, mi nascondero
E ti guardero, quando riderai e ti sentiro, quando canterai
Saro solo l'ombra, della tua ombra
Della tua mano, l'ombra del tuo cuore
Non andare via, non andare via
Non andare via

4 Marzo 1943


4 Marzo 1943 (French Version: Jésus Bambino - 1971) Composer(s): Paola Pallottino; Lucio Dalla First release by: Lucio Dalla - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists



Dice che era un bell'uomo
e veniva, veniva dal mare...
parlava un'altra lingua...
però sapeva amare

e quel giorno lui prese mia madre
sopra un bel prato..
l'ora più dolce
prima di essere ammazzato

Così lei restò sola nella stanza
la stanza sul porto
con l'unico vestito
ogni giorno più corto

e benché non sapesse il nome
e neppure il paese
m'aspetto' come un dono d'amore
fino dal primo mese

Compiva sedici anni quel giorno
la mia mamma
le strofe di taverna
le cantò a ninna nanna!

e stringendomi al petto che sapeva
sapeva di mare
giocava a far la donna
col bimbo da fasciare

E forse fu per gioco
o forse per amore
che mi volle chiamare
come nostro signore

Della sua breve vita, il ricordo
il ricordo più grosso
e' tutto in questo nome
che io mi porto addosso

E ancora adesso che gioco a carte
e bevo vino
per la gente del porto
mi chiamo Gesù bambino

E ancora adesso che gioco a carte
e bevo vino
per la gente del porto
mi chiamo Gesù bambino

One More Kiss, Dear


One More Kiss, Dear
Composer(s): Peter Skellern; Vangelis
Performer(s): Vangelis; Badi Assad;
Riccardo Eberspacher; New American Orch.; Space 2000



One more kiss, dear
One more sigh
Only this, dear
It's goodbye
For our love is such pain
And such pleasure
And I'll treasure till I die
So for now, dear
Aurevoir, madame

But I'm how-d'ye, not farewell
For in time we may have a love's glory
Our love story to tell

Just as every autumn
Leaves fall from the tree
Tumble to the ground and die
So in the springtime
Like sweet memories
They will return as will I
Like the sun, dear
Upon high
We'll return, dear
To the sky
And we'll banish the pain
and the sorrow
Until tomorrow goodbye
one more kiss, dear
One more sigh
Only this, dear
Is goodbye
For our love is such
passion
And such pleasure
And I'll treasure till I
die

Like the sun, dear
Upon high
We'll return, dear
To the sky
And we'll banish the pain
and the sorrow
Until tomorrow goodbye

Quand on arrive à l'usine
La gaité nous illumine
L'idée de faire nos huit heures
Nous remplit tous de bonheur
D'humeur égale et joyeuse
Nous courons vers la pointeuse
Le temps d'enfiler nos bleus
Et nous voilà tous heureux
La ï ti la la la ï ti la la ï hé

Merci patron merci patron
Quel plaisir de travailler pour vous
On est heureux comme des fous
Merci patron merci patron
Ce que vous faites ici bas
Un jour Dieu vous le rendra

Quand on pense à tout l'argent
Qu'au fin de mois on vous prend
Nous avons tous un peu honte
D'être aussi près de nos comptes.
Tout le monde à la maison
Vous adore avec passion
Vous êtes notre bon ange
Et nos chantons vos louanges
La ï ti la la la ï ti la la ï hé

Merci patron merci patron
Quel plaisir de travailler pour vous

A vous le plaisir de travailler pour nous
Vous serez heureux comme un fou
Nous serons patron nous serons patron
Ce que vous avez fait pour nous
Nous le referons pour vous

One More Day (Mickey Shaughnessy)


One More Day
Composer(s): Sid Tepper; Roy C. Bennett
Performer(s): Mickey Shaughnessy



I'm up in the mornin' with the risin' sun
I work like a slave till the day is done
Just workin' and sleepin' and nothin' more
And ev'ry day is just like the day before

One more day
One more day
One day older and nearer to my Lord
One more day

Listen to the prayer of a lonely man
Livin' day by day the best he can
Give me the strength to carry my load
Glory waits for me at the end of the road

One more day
One more day
One day older and nearer to my Lord
One more day

Merci Mon Dieu (Léo Ferré)


Merci Mon Dieu
Performer(s): Léo Ferré



De nos tanières de draps blancs
De nos gravats mangés en rêves
De notre pain de temps en temps
Et de nos miettes marche ou crève
Avec la vie au beau milieu
Et puis la faim qui nous soulève
Nous te disons merci mon dieu

De nos salaires raccourcis
Et qui rallongent notre gêne
De l'or qui pousse au quat'jeudis
De nos éternelles semaines
Avec la rage au beau milieu
Et puis l'envie qui nous malmène
Nous te disons merci mon dieu

De notre terre à ciel perdu
De nos fusils à cicatrices
De nos enfants qui n'ont pas pû
Éloigner d'eux l'amer calice
Avec la guerre au beau milieu
Et puis le héros qui s'y glisse
Nous te disons merci mon dieu

Des chevaux d'avoine posthumes
Qui traînent leurs derniers convois
Des chiens perdus que l'on transhume
Vers leurs derniers pipis de croix
Avec la mort au beau milieu
Et la pitié qui nous consumme
Nous te disons merci mon dieu

De cette croix du Golghota
Qui crucifie tant de poitrines
Et de ton fils qui n'a fait ça
Que pour la peau et les épines
Avec l'amour au beau milieu
Et puis ton ciel qu'on imagine
Nous te disons pourquoi mon dieu
