Out In The Street (Bruce Springsteen)


Out In The Street
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen



Put on your best dress baby
And darlin', fix your hair up right
Cause there's a party, honey
Way down beneath the neon lights
All day you've been working that hard line
Now tonight you're gonna have a good time

I work five days a week girl
Loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
And meet my girl down on the block
And Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got Friday on my mind

When that whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes
When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
When I'm out in the street
When I'm out in the street

When I'm out in the street, girl
Well, I never feel alone
When I'm out in the street, girl
In the crowd I feel at home
The black and whites they cruise by
And they watch us from the corner of their eye

But there ain't no doubt girl, down here
We ain't gonna take what they're handing out
When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
Baby, out in the street I don't feel sad or blue
Baby, out in the street I'll be waiting for you

When the whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes
When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk

When I'm out in the street
Pretty girls, they're all passing by
When I'm out in the street
From the corner, we give them the eye

Baby, out in the street I just feel all right
Meet me out in the street, little girl, tonight
Meet me out in the street
Meet me out in the street

Mind If I Make Love To You?


Mind If I Make Love To You?
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; (Film Soundtrack) - 1956
Joyce Breach; Jane Powell



In the heavens, stars are dancing
And the mountain moon is new
What a rare night for romancing
Mind if I make love to you?

Since the dear day of our meeting
I've wanted to tell you all I long to do
Dawn is nearing, time is fleeting
Mind if I make love to you?

If you let me, I'll endeavor
To persuade you I'm your party for two
And from then on, you will never mind
If I make love to you?

Out In The Fields


Out In The Fields
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore;
and various other artists



It doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference if you're black or if you're white
All men are equal till the victory is one
No color or religion ever stopped a bullet from a gun

Out in the fields, the fighting has begun
Out on the streets, they're falling one by one
Out from the skies, a thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter if you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause for which you fight
There'll be no prisoners taken when the day is done
No flag no uniform ever stopped a bullet from a gun

Out in the fields, the fighting has begun
Out in the streets, they're falling one by one
Out from the skies, a thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again

Out the fields
Out in the fields, they are falling one by one
Out in the fields, no flag has ever stopped a bullet from a gun
Death is just a heartbeat away

Out in the fields...

Mind Games


Mind Games
Composer(s): John Lennon
Originally performed by: John Lennon
Covered by various other artists



We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower you got to let it, you got to let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future outta the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender you got to let it, you got to let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the Karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love

(I want you to make love, not war
I know you've heard it before)

Out In The Country


Out In The Country
Composer(s): Paul Williams; Roger Nichols
Performer(s): Three Dog Night;
and various other artists



Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Or feel the need to get away-ay-ay
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Whenever I feel them closing in on me
Or need a bit of room to move
When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time

Mind Demons


Mind Demons
Composer(s): Suzi Quatro; Lennie Tuckey
Performer(s): Suzi Quatro



I couldn't sleep last night
Too much emptiness
It made me so uptight
I needed your caress
Whoo
You were across the hall
And I was too proud to call
Instead I fantasized
I guess that wasn't wise
Whoo - Mind Demons
Whoo - In my brain
Whoo - Mind Demons
Whoo - Drivin' me crazy
I turned on the light
Another sleepless night
I grabbed a magazine
You know the kind I mean
Whoo - Mind Demons
Whoo - In my brain
Whoo - Mind Demons
Whoo - Drivin' me crazy

Out In The Cold Again


Out In The Cold Again
Composer(s): Rube Bloom; Ted Koehler
Performer(s): Dean Martin;
and various other artists



(Out in the cold)
The song that you sang so sweetly
You called it our love refrain
It's gone and I'm left completely
Out in the cold again

I dreamed that our love would linger
But just memories remain
As I gaze at that ringless finger
Out in the cold again

True it hurts my pride to step aside for somebody new
But deep down inside my whole world depended on you
I wanted your arms around me
To shelter me from the rain
But now I'm back where you found me
Out in the cold again

(True it hurts my pride to step aside for somebody new)
(But deep down inside my whole world depended on you)
I wanted your arms around me
To shelter me from the rain
But now I'm back where you found me
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold

Mind Blowing Decisions


Mind Blowing Decisions
Composer(s): Johnnie Wilder Jr.
Originally performed by: Heatwave



Mind...... blow.....ing
Mind blowing decisions causes head on collisions
Mind blowing decisions causes head on collisions

So I talk to myself, I give plenty time
To all these decisions lying in my mind
Holding hands or put my arms around her waist
Neither one of these two will I try in haste
Taking my time to work the problem out
Yet trying to convince her that there is no need for doubt

Mind blowing decisions causes head on collisions
Mind blowing decisions causes head on collisions

So I tell myself again to dig deep within
And remember when we first met we were only friends
Throw a kiss or try to taste her tender lips
Will these be the factors that will make our lives a trip
But just in case things don't settle well with her
I'll say that I'm sorry and keep hoping for the best

Mind blowing decisions causes head on collisions
Mind blowing decisions causes head on collisions

Must decide how to go. Is she mine I want to know
(Well if you think long you think wrong
So don't think too long)

-sing over chorus-
Must decide how to go
Is she mine I want to know
Must decide how to go
Is she mine I want to know

Marriage or shacking, which way do we go
One of us must let the other know
By taking our time we will work our problems out
'Til death do we part or as friends we'll begin...

Mind blowing (...again) decisions causes head on collisions
Mind blowing decisions causes head on collisions

(repeat chorus)

Out Here On My Own


Out Here On My Own
Composer(s): Michael Gore; Lesley Gore
Performer(s): Irene Cara;
and various other artists



Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
Make believin' is hard alone
Out here on my own

We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin'
For that risin' star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own

When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby be strong for me
Baby belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

Until the morning sun appears
Making light
Of all my fears
I dry the tears
I've never shown
Out here on my own

But when I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
I may not win
But I can't be thrown
Out here on my own

Out here on my own

Mind Baby


Mind Baby
Composer(s): John Palumbo
Performer(s): Crack the Sky



Oh, Mama, baby's a queen in her costumes and cars
Oh, Mama, baby's a sweetie at the fashion show bars
Hey, baby, the lady's a woman and the woman's a child
Oh, Mama, the child's a toy, and the toy has gone wild

And she's over, I mean she thinks she is
And she's over, I mean she looks like she is
And she's over, I mean she still hasn't found her mind, baby

Her mind baby

Oh, Mama, she lives in a house with no lock on the door
Oh, Mama, there's no one upstairs, but there's a great bottom floor
Hey, baby, you throw her a look and she'll comfort your day
Oh, Mama, you throw her a book and she'll throw it away

And she's over, I mean she thinks she is
And she's over, I mean she looks like she is
And she's over, I mean she still hasn't found her mind, baby

Mind baby
Mind baby
Mind baby

And she's over, I mean she thinks she is
And she's over, I mean she looks like she is
And she's over, I mean she still hasn't found her mind, baby

Out From Under


Out From Under
Composer(s): Allan Holdsworth; Robinson
Performer(s): Allan Holdsworth; Gary Husband



She makes it hard to guess, is it a yes?

Left my bet to ride, my hands are tied
Oh, to see inside
Take the world for a ride...

Coming Out From Under stone
you're not alone

Playing solo, is it a no?

He's some fool and alright
what's done is done
pull out a plum

maybe I'll just cut and run..

(drums and wild chords, 'babe walking')

Out From Under stone
you're not alone

She needs no partner, disheartener

I always came loaded, leaving light
aces all run dry, no longer eye to eye..

Under a stone, you're not alone...

Mina Ögon


Mina Ögon
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Björn Ulvaeus; Bosse Carlgren
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Mina ögon, blå i glädje
Som fick se dig le av lycka, min vän
Mina ögon, grå i vrede
Som du kysste blå och mjuka igen
Får inte längre liv av elden inom mig
Som brann när jag var nära dig
Mina ögon fylls av frusen eld som liknar tårar

Minns du mina ögon där du såg hur stark du var
Och hur jag brann, hur elden brann?
Mina ögon fylls av frusen eld som liknar tårar

Mina ögon, som jag frågar
När jag undrar om jag drömt att du fanns
Mina ögon, som jag plågar
Varje gång jag ser din bild någonstans
Får inte längre kraft av elden inom mig
Som brann när du var här hos mig
Mina ögon fylls av frusen eld som liknar tårar

Minns du mina ögon där du såg hur stark du var
Och hur jag brann, hur elden brann?
Mina ögon fylls av frusen eld som liknar tårar
Mina ögon fylls av frusen eld som liknar tårar

Out And About


Out And About
Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart
Performer(s): Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart



Nothing going on around here
That hasn't gone on all year
Stayin' in day out and day in
Wishin' I was outside playin'

Out and about, I got a little thing going for me
Out and about, free from all the things that bore me
Out and about, riding all around the city
Out and about, all the girls they look so pretty

I'm fine, when I'm, when I'm out and about

Things I want, I can't afford 'em
Nothing in this house but boredom
Magazines are torn and tattered
Running out of reading matter

I gotta run outside and see what's happening

Out and about, where the sun is always shining
Out and about, look at all the fun I'm finding
Out and about, bumping into friends and laughing
Out and about, what a groovy time we're having

We'll have a good time

When I'm out and about, out and about
When I'm out and about, out and about

Min Soldat


Min Soldat
Composer(s): Jokern
Performer(s): Ulla Billqvist



Min fästman han var modelejon, dandy, charmör
kan hända för min skull, jag är svag just därför
men nu är den tiden länges'en förbi
jag såg på hans fotografi

Hans skor är för stora och hans mössa för trång
hans byxor för smala och hans rock är för lång
men det gör det samma för han är min soldat
någonstans i Sverige

Jag har sett på hans kort att han är oklippt och dann
han rakar sej ej på flera veckor ibland
Men det gör det samma för han är min soldat
någonstans i Sverige

I givakt vi måste stå
vi kvinnor små för våra gossar blå
som ligga här och där, i skogar och på skär

Han sa: "Den är ganska knapp den lönen vi får
så vi kan nog inte ha något bröllop i år"
Men det gör det samma för han är min soldat
någonstans i Sverige

I går, jag vid station
min älskling mötte han fått permission
Vi åkte hem i bil
han klädde sej civil
Se'n Cecil med dans, ett bord för två i alkov
han sa inte mycke', nej, han nicka och sov
Men det gör det samma, för han är min soldat
Någonstans i Sverige

Oural Ouralou


Oural Ouralou
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



C'est dans l'aube chère à Verlaine
Que tu courais notre domaine
Humant l'air des quatre saisons
Odeurs de thym et de bruyère
Sous tes pattes fraîches légères
S'élevaient comme une oraison
Berger des landes familières
Tu vivais digne et solitaire
Animal doué de raison
J'écris ce jour anniversaire
Où tu reposes sous la terre
A deux pas de notre maison

Hourrah oural ouralou
Oural ouralou

Hourrah oural ouralou
Oural ouralou

On voit souvent des souveraines
A la place des rois qui règnent
Rien qu'en posant leurs yeux dessus
Il faut se méfier du paraître
De nous deux qui était le maître
Nous ne l'avons jamais bien su
Tu vécus la vie parisienne
La nuit sur les quais de la Seine
Les music-halls et les tournées
Et cette vie qui fût la mienne
Il me semble que tu l'entraînes
A la semelle de tes souliers

Hourrah oural ouralou
Oural ouralou

Hourrah oural ouralou
Oural ouralou

Jour après jour il faut l'admettre
Voir ceux qu'on aime disparaître
C'est ce qui fait vieillir trop tôt
Au paradis des chiens peut-être
Ton long museau à la fenêtre
Tu nous accueilleras bientôt
Au triple galop caracole
Je vois tes pattes qui s'envolent
Chevauchant l'herbe et les nuées
Le vent siffle dans ton pelage
Vole vole mon loup sauvage
Comme au temps des vertes années

Hourrah oural ouralou
Oural ouralou

Hourrah oural ouralou
Oural ouralou

Min Farbror Jonathan


Min Farbror Jonathan
Composer(s): Agnetha Faltskog; D. Zimmerman
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Min farbror Jonathan
Han är en riktig man
Han tjusar flickorna
Och gör nåt, oh la la
Som ingen annan kan
Min farbror Jonathan
Här har ni tidens man
Om ni får honom se
Så ska ni bara le
Mot denne gamle man

Han kommer ibland
Med käppen i hand
Att han är en snobb det ser man
Han är sjuttiotvå
Han har inget hår
Och tänder det har han inga

När tjejerna ser
Att han går och ler
Då skakar de först på huvudet
Men efter en stund
De vänder sig om
Oj oj, vilken gullig gubbe

Min farbror Jonathan
Han är en riktig man
Han tjusar flickorna
Och gör nåt, oh la la
Som ingen annan kan
Min farbror Jonathan
Här har ni tidens man
Om ni får honom se
Så ska ni bara le
Mot denne gamle man

Jag minns än idag
En gång när han sa
Om jag skulle ta och fria
Till bruden jag såg
På stranden igår
Jag tror hon heter Fia

Jag skrattade och sa
Nej, skäms gamle karl
Hon vill inte ha nån gubbe
Då log han och sa
Men mig vill hon ha
För jag är en riktig snubbe

Min farbror Jonathan
Han är en riktig man
Han tjusar flickorna
Och gör nåt, oh la la
Som ingen annan kan
Min farbror Jonathan
Här har ni tidens man
Om ni får honom se
Så ska ni bara le
Mot denne gamle man

Toi...
Rien que toi...
Oui, que toi...
Encore toi...
Toujours toi...
Partout toi...
Tout pour toi...
Tout par toi...

Un ouragan de toi
Se déchaîne sur moi
Et moi, pleurant de joie
Baignée de soleil
Je vois un arc-en-ciel...
Ciel tout semé d'étoiles...
Toile entre terre et ciel...
Mais ton souffle se lève
Balayant le temps
Et, jettée sous le rêve
Moi je crie d'amour
Mon amour...
Aaaah!...Les vagues de toi
Qui déferlent sur moi
Aaaah!...L'océan de joie
Qui m'emporte avec toi...

Mimile (Un Gars De Ménilmontant)


Mimile (Un Gars De Ménilmontant)
Composer(s): Jean Boyer; Georges Van Parys
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier



Une casquette sur l'œil
Marchant avec orgueil
En bombant le thorax
C'est le dénommé Mimile
Bien plus bouillant qu'Achille
Et bien plus beau qu'Ajax
C'est pourquoi tout lui est dû
Dans toutes les rues du vingtième arrondissement
Mais sous son air de terreur
Se cache un bon petit cœur
Plein d'jolis sentiments

C'est un gars d'Ménilmontant
Un vrai p'tit Parigot, un gavroche
Un titi, un marrant, Mimile
Il est toujours content
C'est fou c'qu'il est complaisant
Avez-vous besoin d'lui?
Appelez le simplement en faisant
"Mimile" Mimile répond "Présent!"
On peut dire que c'est lui la coqueluche
De toutes les petites femmes de Ménilmuche
Dans ses bras, une à une, elles trébuchent
Il ne leur fait jamais
Des vœux d'fidélité, oui mais...
Le p'tit gars d'Ménilmontant
Est un coq si vaillant
Que les poules disent en le quittant
"Mimile... Il met toujours dans l'mille...
Mimile est épatant!"

Il joue au mauvais garçon
Il imite leurs façons
Il trouve que ça fait chic
Mais c'est pas un méchant loup
Il traverse dans les clous
Et il salue les flics
Y n'fait pas "bosser" les dames
Pour lui le macadam
C'est un vilain bis'ness
Il vote, il paie son loyer
Faudrait pas l'supplier
Pour qu'il aille à la mess'...

C'est un gars d'Ménilmontant
Un vrai p'tit Parigot, un gavroche
Un titi, un marrant, Mimile
Il est toujours content
C'est fou c'qu'il est complaisant
Avez-vous besoin d'lui?
Appelez le simplement en faisant
"Mimile" Mimile répond "Présent!"
Comme danseur on ne fait pas plus chouette
Il vous danse la valse dans une assiette
Et quand il arrive dans un musette
Il faut qu'le mastroquet
Distribue aux dames des tickets...
Le p'tit gars d'Ménilmontant
Est un coq si vaillant
Que les poules disent en le quittant
"Mimile... Il met toujours dans l'mille...
Mimile est épatant!"

Si Mimile vous est sympa
Surtout n'le cherchez pas
Il a quitté l'quartier
Son départ s'est fait sans bruit
On avait besoin d'lui
Pour un autre métier
Alors rangeant sa gapett'
Ses ch'mises en satinette
Couleur de rhatloukoum
Il rejoignit l'premier jour
Mais en blaguant toujours
"J'm'en vais au badaboum..."

C'est un gars d'Ménilmontant
Un vrai p'tit Parigot, un gavroche
Un titi, un marrant, Mimile
Il est au front maintenant
Il a l'moral et comment
Faut-il un volontaire?
Qui donc se présente immédiatement?
Mimile, c'est l'as du régiment
Il a déjà gagné la croix d'guerre
Il attend la médaille militaire
Il s'ra bientôt sous-off, il l'espère
Il peut tout obtenir
Gam'lin n'a qu'a bien se tenir...
C'est un gars d'Ménilmontant
Un brav' petit bonhomme
Comme chez nous aujourd'hui y'en a tant
Mimile... Y'en a comm' ça des mille...
Chez tous nos combattants

Our World


Our World
Composer(s): Herbie Flowers; Pickett
Performer(s): Blue Mink



Suddenly I woke this morning
The light was dawning on me
Tumbling from my bed
And scratching my head
I looked up to see
Bright new day here to stay

People all around
Not making a sound
But taking the air
Trying not to choke
Breathing the smoke
They leave everywhere
Bright new day

Chorus:
The world is ours
The place we all share together
And all together there's such a lot to share
Let's keep our world a fair place for people to live in
And we can live in a world for which we care

Why does everybody try to rule everything
That really matters in the world today
Don't they know that this is our world
And this is our world
And this is our world
Everbody's joking
And the kids are busy smoking
People really must be joking
If they think it doesn't happen here
Yes it happens in our world

Suddenly it seems the ocean has lost its motion for me
Troubled water gently gliding, a black cloud sliding by me
Wish I knew what to do
Take a look ahead
Don't bury your head
Like an ostrich below
Everybody stop blowing the top
Up a wonderful world
Everyone having fun

Chorus

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
It's our world
This is our world

Milwaukee, Here I Come


Milwaukee, Here I Come
Composer(s): Lee Fikes
Performer(s): John Prine
and various other artists



I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee

Milwaukee is where we were before we came here
Working in a brewery making the finest beer
You came to me on a payday night said let's go to Tennessee
So we drove to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry

I'm gonna get on that old turpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
Which one you want the most those Opry stars or me
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee

We were watching TV Ernest Tubb was singing loud
I said that's the man for me I love him, there's no doubt
I'm leaving you and going now to find out where he's at
If I can't get him I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt

I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
Which one you want the most
Me or Jerry Lee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
