Message To Martha
Message To Martha (aka "Message To Michael" or "Kentucky Bluebird")
German Title: Kleine Treue Nachtigall
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Originally performed by: Jerry Butler
Covered by various other artists
Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
She sings each night in some café
In her search to find wealth and fame
I hear Martha has gone and changed her name
It's a year since she was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
Tell her I love her more each day
As the train pulled out down the track
Martha promised she'd soon be coming back
Oh, tell her how my heart just breaks in two
Since she journeyed far
And even though her dreams of fame fell through
To me she will always be a star
Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
Tell her to start for home today
When you find her please let her know
Rich or poor, I will always love her so
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, fly away, fly away.........

One Tin Soldier
One Tin Soldier
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter
Performer(s): Original Caste;
and various other artists
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom, on a mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Burried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the burried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the kingdom
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain
N' all the riches burried there
Now the valley cried in anger
Mount your horses
Draw your sword
And they killed the mountain people
So they won their just reward
Now they stood beside the treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turn the stone and which beneath it
"Peace on Earth"
Was all it said
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There wont be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away

Message Personnel
Message Personnel
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Michel Berger
Originally performed by: Françoise Hardy
Covered by various other artists
Au bout du téléphone, il y a votre voix
Et il y a des mots que je ne dirai pas
Tous ces mots qui font peur quand ils ne font pas rire
Qui sont dans trop de films, de chansons et de livres
Je voudrais vous les dire
Et je voudrais les vivre
Je ne le ferai pas
Je veux, je ne peux pas
Je suis seule à crever, et je sais où vous êtes
J'arrive, attendez-moi, nous allons nous connaître
Préparez votre temps, pour vous j'ai tout le mien
Je voudrais arriver, je reste, je me déteste
Je n'arriverai pas
Je veux, je ne peux pas
Je devrais vous parler
Je devrais arriver
Ou je devrais dormir
J'ai peur que tu sois sourd
J'ai peur que tu sois lâche
J'ai peur d'être indiscrète
Je ne peux pas vous dire que je t'aime peut-être
Mais si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes
Ne crois pas que tes souvenirs me gênent
Et cours, cours jusqu'à perdre haleine
Viens me retrouver
Si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes
Et si ce jour-là tu as de la peine
A trouver où tous ces chemins te mènent
Viens me retrouver
Si le dégoût de la vie vient en toi
Si la paresse de la vie
S'installe en toi
Pense à moi
Pense à moi
Mais si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes
Ne le considère pas comme un problème
Et cours, cours jusqu'à perdre haleine
Viens me retrouver
Si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes
N'attends pas un jour, pas une semaine
Car tu ne sais pas où la vie t'emmène
Viens me retrouver
Si le dégoût de la vie vient en toi
Si la paresse de la vie
S'installe en toi
Pense à moi
Pense à moi
Mais si tu...

One Thing
One Thing
Composer(s): B. Guthro; M. Jones
Performer(s): Runrig
Walk out the door, your eyes filled with tears
or stay and confront me and face all your fears
linger in silence neither distant or near
it's not going to change a thing
Lay down beside me and question my face
or hold me with all the love we have made
share all your secrets or hide them away
it's not going to change a thing
Lie here and talk of whatever you want
or dare to compare all the things we've made wrong
what care the world when we're all dead and gone
it's not going to change a thing
The picture is painted, the colours are bold
one for each season of life I suppose
it no longer matters, the story is told
it's not going to change a thing

Message Of Love
Message Of Love
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Originally performed by: Pretenders
Now the reason we're here
As man and woman
Is to love each other
Take care of each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good, good
Like Brigitte Bardot
Now look at the people
In the streets, in the bars
We are all of us in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars
Look round the room
Life is unkind
We fall but we keep gettin' up
Over and over and over and over and over and over
Me and you, every night, every day
We'll be together always this way
Your eyes are blue like the heavens above
Talk to me darlin' with a message of love
Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Talk to me darlin'

One Sweet Letter From You
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Sidney Clare; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Ted Lewis
and multiple other artists
I'm so blue
Lonesome, too
And I wonder where you are tonight
Not one word
Have I heard
If you think of me, why don't you write?
Oh, dear, how I need one sweet letter from you
How I'd love to read one sweet letter from you
You know that you left me so worried and blue
I always keep singing, oh, what'll I do
Though it's not fair, and you don't care for me dearly
Drop me a line, if you just sign, "Yours sincerely"
You know that I'm praying the night and day through
Just hoping I'll get one sweet letter from you
(Patter):
Mail for Missus Jones
Missus Jones don't need it
Missus Jones is happy all the day
Mail for Missus Brown
Missus Brown don't read it
Opens them and throws them right away
Mail man rings, then he sings
Got some letters for you
Here's what he brings
Mail for the baker
My dress maker
Word from the landlord, too
I get letters from ev'rybody
Not a single word from you
Here's what to do, even though you never crave me
And though you lie, say that you cry, it might save me!
You know that I'm praying the night and day through
Just hoping I'll get one sweet letter from you
Since you're gone
I keep on
Feeling just as sorry as can be
I just wrote
You a note
I'd be happy if you'd answer me...
Oh, dear, how I need one sweet letter from you
How I'd love to read one sweet letter from you
You know that you left me so worried and blue
I always keep singing, oh, what'll I do
Though it's not fair, and you don't care for me dearly
Drop me a line, if you just sign, "Yours sincerely"
You know that I'm praying the night and day through
Just hoping I'll get one sweet letter from you

One Step Closer
One Step Closer
Composer(s): Keith Knudsen; John McFee; Carlene Carter
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
Baby, there’s a chance you ought to take
Chance of a mistake you gotta make
Maybe I’m mistaken too
To take my chance with you
I need you like a shadow needs a light
I’ll follow you like morning follows night
When nothin’s left ahead of you
I’ll be right behind you
Shadows disappear at night
We both know it’s a shame if you should lose one
Why is it so hard to find
Tell me that you’re right there too
One step baby
Two steps maybe
One step closer
I’ll be next to you
Baby, it’s a secret I can’t keep
Trouble comes and suddenly you’re weak
I don’t believe you got the strength
To fight this kind of love
I know it’s risky now and then
What with all the what ifs and the whens
Who is there to say we’re wrong - to tell us it can’t be
Come on, baby, please don’t go
I’m no heart of stone and you know
Why is it so hard to do
Tell me that you’re right there too, baby
Baby, can’t you see we’re runnin’ late
Can’t you see we ain’t got time to wait
Might be that you’re scared of me
Of something you might feel
Hold on to me, baby, hold on tight
I can take us through the night all right
Maybe I will stay here too
Take my chance with you
Shadows disappear at night
We both know it’s a shame if you should lose one
Why is it so hard to find
Tell me that you’re right there too
One step baby
Two steps maybe
One step closer

Tell me how can a color determine whether
You're wrong or right
We all have our faults...

Temptations: What do you see?

Temptations:
Two eyes
Eddie:
A nose, and a mouth just like me, oh!
Eddie:
Your eyes are open
But you refuse to see
The laws of society
Were made for both you and me
Because of my color
I struggle to be free
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But in the end
You're gonna' see my friend, oh!
Temptations:
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

Heartaches and sad dreams
Take away the moonbeams

One small photograph of you
Take away the sad dreams

Come back my darling and stay

And things you gave me, honey

If my fortune lessens
I'll be satisfied possessin'

Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Mes yeux sont fous
Ou mes yeux sont fous
Ou là, devant moi
C'est la fille que j'aime
Et, dans ses bras, c'est mon meilleur ami
Mais non, je ne peux croire ça
Ça me ferait trop mal
Elle ne ferait pas ça
Ça me ferait trop mal
Elle ne dirait pas ça, pas ça
Mon amour, mon amour, mon amour
Ou mes yeux sont fous
Ou la vie me joue un tour
Mais pourquoi me faire ça
Je veux si peu
Je demandais qu'elle m'aime un peu
Mais c'était beaucoup
Leurs lèvres qui se cherchent
Ça me ferait trop mal
Et ces mots qu'elle lui crie
Ça me ferait trop mal, trop mal
Mon amour, mon amour, mon amour
Cet ami qui trahit
Ça me ferait trop mal
Cette fille qui m'oublie
Ça me ferait trop mal
Mes yeux se sont trompés
Mes yeux sont fous
Oh, non ce n'est pas vrai
Ce n'est pas vrai

One Rainy Wish
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix;
Phil Brown; Eugene Chadbourne; Brian May
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
Never to grow old
There you were under a tree of song, sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played, waiting there for me
I have never laid eyes on you
Not before this timeless day
But you woke and you smiled my name
And you stole my heart away
Stole my heart away little girl
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
Never to grow old
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago,
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, gold and rose
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
It's only a dream but I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across the rainbows above me and you
Gold and rose, the color of the velvet walls that surrounds us

Mes Souvenirs, Mes Seize Ans
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Le Calypso Bar du Square de la Trinité
En a vu passer des stars de quartier
Mais ils ont tell'ment rêvé tout éveillés
Le hasard, la magie les a réalisés
Jacques Dutronc ne pensait pas encore à Hardy
Long Chris confondait diligence et taxi
Jean-Philippe Smet ignorait tout de Johnny
Et piquait mes disques dans les surprises-parties
Mes seize ans brûlent encore dans mes souvenirs
Des clichés qui n'arrivent pas à mourir
Les premiers blousons T-shirts et jean délavés
Les premiers rockers légendaires et pionniers
Gene Vincent qui pleurait sur "Ba Baby Blue"
On aimait tout ça et passait pour des fous
Mes seize ans brûlent encore dans mes souvenirs
Des clichés qui n'arrivent pas à mourir
Ma première guitare s'est brisée dès le premier jour
J's'rai pas musicien, mais chanteur faut d'l'humour
Nostalgie tu reviens un peu trop souvent rôder
Parfois tu fais mal mais comment t'oublier
Mes seize ans brûlent encore dans mes souvenirs
Des clichés qui n'arrivent pas à mourir
Mes seize ans brûlent encore dans mes souvenirs
Des clichés qui n'arrivent pas à mourir

One Piece At A Time
One Piece At A Time
Composer(s): Wayne Kemp
Performer(s): Johnny Cash;
and various other artists
Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black
One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand
CHORUS
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive ever'body wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now I never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years
The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home
Now up to now my plan went allright
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone
So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an adaptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on
The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin"
So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear ever'body laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds
Chorus
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive ever'body wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
(Spoken)
Ugh! Yow, Red Ryder
This is the Cotton Mouth
In the Psycho-Billy Cadillac
Come on
Huh
This is the Cotton Mouth
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there Red Ryder
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it
Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55
'56 '57, '58' 59' Automobile
(Fade)
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 Automobile
