Marian


Marian
Composer(s): A. Muhren
Performer(s): The Cats



Where are the roses that I bought you, my love?
Where are the poems that I wrote?
You cast your eyes down when I watch you, my love
Have I been too long on the road?

I came back to find a stranger in tears
She was once the girl I used to know, for some years
Marian, tell me you still care for me
Marian, remember how good those days used to be

Marian, for don't you believe?

What kind of music fills your head now, my love?
What kind of place became your mind?
You tried to find out 'bout your feelings, my love
Where you ever thinking of mine?

I came back to find a stranger in tears
She was once the girl I used to know, for some years
Marian, tell me you still care for me
Marian, remember how good those days used to be

Marian, for don't you believe?

I came back to find a stranger in tears
She was once the girl I used to know, for some years
Marian, tell me you still care for me
Marian, remember how good those days used to be

Creamers; Gloss; Screeching Weasel



If you think you can
well come on man I was a Green Beret in Vietnam
No more of your fairy stories
'Cause I got my other worries

53rd and 3rd Standing on the street
53rd and 3rd I'm tryin' to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd You're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd Don't it make you feel sick?

Then I took out my razor blade
Then I did what God forbade
Now the cops are after me
But I proved that I'm no sissy

53rd and 3rd Standing on the street

Maria Luisa, Maria Luisa, Maria Luisa, mon amour
Sur la terre tout s'éclaire, je t'espère pour toujours
Je t'adore, je t'implore, plus encore chaque jour
Maria Luisa, Maria Luisa, Maria Luisa, mon amour
Quand en passant par hasard j'ai croisé ton regard mystérieux
J'ai vu comment le miroir éclairait nos espoirs sous le ciel bleu
Puis ton sourire enchanteur a conquit tout mon cœur
Et depuis ce beau soir là, ah! l'amour est à moi

Maria Luisa, Maria Luisa, Maria Luisa, mon amour
Sur la terre tout s'éclaire, je t'espère pour toujours
Je t'adore, je t'implore, plus encore chaque jour

5-4-3-2-1
Composer(s): Paul Jones; Mike Hugg; Manfred Mann
Performer(s): Manfred Mann; Les 5-4-3-2-1



(title x7, 1st time slowly)
Always onward rode the 600 (5-4-3-2-1)
Down the valley on their horses they thundered (5-4-3-2-1)
Ah but once they're down they really blundered (5-4-3-2-1)
Uh huh, it was the Manfreds

(title x2)
The soldiers waited at the gate for weeks (5-4-3-2-1)
& onward on horses to the city they sneaked (5-4-3-2-1)
Pulled out & then, was it the Greeks? (5-4-3-2-1)
Uh huh, it was the Manfreds

(title x5)
Uh huh, it was the Manfreds

Mariage


Mariage
Composer(s): Henri Contet; Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Édith Piaf
and various other artists



Six heures, Place de la Trinité
Quand le coup de feu a claqué
Juste en face du petit café
La dame qui avait tiré
Regardait d'un air étonné
L'homme en gris qui était tombé

On ajouta un numéro
Sur le registre de bureau
Du commissariat de police
La dame, elle ne veut pas parler
Et quand le juge est fatigué
Elle bavarde avec son passé...
Dire que tout ça a commencé
En même temps qu'un soleil d'été
Qui avait l'air fait pour durer
Et le soleil s'était posé
Sur un jeune homme en gris foncé
Qui avait l'air fait pour danser
Alors, bien sûr, elle a valsé
Et puis après, l'a embrassé
Il n'en faut pas plus pour aimer

On ajouta un numéro
Sur le registre de bureau
De la mairie du quatorzième
Alors, tout devient merveilleux
Dans les beaux rêves, on ne fait pas mieux
La dame, elle en ferme les yeux
Elle revoit, elle revoit
Le seul jour de da vie, je crois
Où elle a fait un signe de croix
Car tout était miraculeux
L'église chantait rien que pour eux
Et même le pauvre était heureux
C'est l'amour qui faisait sa tournée
Et, de là-haut, à toutes volées
Les cloches criaient: "Vive la mariée!"

Sonnez, sonnez, carillonnez!
S'il a juré fidélité
Il a menti, le bien-aimé
Sonnez, sonnez, carillonnez!
Il a juré fidélité
Il a menti, le bien-aimé...
Carillonnez!...

55 Days At Peking


55 Days At Peking
From the film "55 Days At Peking"
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen; - 1963
The Brothers Four; Richard Chamberlain



Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

The year was Nineteen-Hundred
T'is worth remembering
The men who lived through
Fifty-five days at Peking

T'was called the Boxer Insurrection
A bloody, Oriental war
Against all nations
Of the Diplomatic Corps

The flags of France and Britain
How they fluttered in the breeze
The Italian and the Russian
And the flag of the Japanese

Then came the sound of bugles
The rolling drums of fury
And the streets of Peking
Were as empty as a tomb

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

The Empress of all China
Gave the signal to begin
Let the foreign devils
Be driven from Peking

They stormed the French Ligation
They attacked with shot and shell
And they came in blood red blouses
Screaming "Sha Shou" as they fell

The drums have long been muffled
The bugles cease to ring
But through the ages
You can hear them echoing

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
Fifty-five days at Peking

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
Fifty-five days at Peking

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom.........Fade

Maria, Maria


Maria, Maria
Composer(s): W. Jean; J. Duplessis;
Carlos Santana; K. Perazzo; R. Rekow
Performer(s): Santana



Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star

Maria Maria

She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of a guitar
Yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer

Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later

Ahora venga mama chola
Mama chola

I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water
To put out the fire
Mi canto la esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise

Ahora venga mama chola
Mama chola

Maria you know you're my lover
When the wind blows I can feel you
Through the weather and even when we're apart
It feels like we're together

57 Channels


57 Channels
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Teddy "Zig-Zag"



I bought a bourgeois house in the hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable tv
We settled in for the night my baby and me
We switched ’round and ’round ’til half-past dawn
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on

Well now home entertainment was my baby’s wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish
I tied it to the top of my japanese car
I came home and I pointed it out into the stars
A message came back from the great beyond
There’s fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on

Well we might’a made some friends with some billionaires
We might’a got all nice and friendly if we’d made it upstairs
All I got was a note that said "bye-bye john
Our love is fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on"

So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of elvis well I just let it blast
’til my tv lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for disturbing the almighty peace
Judge said "what you got in your defense son?"
"fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on"

I can see by your eyes friend you’re just about gone
Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on...

Maria no mas
Es tu nombre y tal vez lo sabrás
Yo prefiero que te llames tan solo Maria, Maria no mas

Maria, Maria no mas
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria no mas

'57 Chevrolet


'57 Chevrolet
Composer(s): Roger Bowling
Performer(s): Billie Jo Spears



Come and look at this old faded photograph
Honey, tell me what it brings to mind
It's a picture of that '57 Chevrolet
I wish that we could ride it one more time

I still get excited when I think about
The drive-in picture shows you took me to
But I don't recall a lot about the movie stars
Mostly that old Chevrolet and you

They don't make cars like they used to
I wish we still had it today
The love we first tasted
The good love we're still living
We owe it to that old '57 Chevrolet

Remember when we used to park it in the lane
And listen to the country radio?
We'd hold on to each other while the singer sang
And we'd stay like that 'til it was time to go

Now it makes me sad to think the good old days are gone
Although our love is still as strong today
But the world would have a lot more lovers hanging on
If they still made '57 Chevrolets

They don't make cars like they used to
I wish we still had it today
The love we first tasted
The good love we're still living
We owe it to that old '57 Chevrolet

We owe it to that old '57 Chevrolet

... to fade

María Me Espera


María Me Espera
Performer(s): Raphael



Yo quisiera poder otro rato seguir
Yo quisiera charlar y otra copa tomar
Pero no puedo, tengo que irme
Porque maria me esta esperando
Ella sabe que hoy tarde no iba a llegar
No quisiera faltar, se podria enfadar
No me critiquen, tengo que irme
Porque maria me esta esperando

Cuando maria me espera yo siento
Que ni un minuto debiera tardarme
Alas quisiera, volar como el viento
Con tal de verme tan cerca de maria
Y es que ninguno de ustedes conoce
La gran dulzura que tiene maria
Es un poema, es un tierno suspiro
Ojala que tengan, ojala se encuentren
A otra maria

59 Lyndhurst Grove


59 Lyndhurst Grove
Composer(s): Jarvis Cocker
Performer(s): Pulp



There's a picture by his first wife on the wall
stripped floor-boards in the kitchen and the hall
a stain from last week's party on the stairs
no-one knows who made it
or how it ever got there
They were dancing with children round their necks
Talking business, books and records, art and sex
All things being considered
you'd call it a success
you wore your black dress

He's an architect and such a lovely guy
and he'll stay with you until the day you die
and he'll give you everything you could desire
oh well almost everything
everything that he can buy
So you sometimes go out in the afternoon
Spend an hour with your lover in his bedroom
hear old women rolling trolleys down the road
back to Lyndhurst Grove
Lyndhurst Grove, Oh

Maria Maria
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle;
P. Massara; J. Mocchetti; Manipoli
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Tu passes dans mes insomnies comme un soleil de nuit
Tu es le visage inconnu du paradis perdu

Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitié de moi

Je te cherche partout comme un chien, comme un fou
J'ai donné à mon rêve ton nom
Et c'est lui qui m'réveille et c'est lui que j'appelle
A tous les vents de mes illusions

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitie de moi

Je ne retrouve le matin que le gris quotidien
Tu disparais dans les fumées de la réalité

Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria je ne suis que la moitié de moi

Je voudrais me lever, je voudrais te toucher
Et je sais que tu n'es pas très loin
Et qu'au fond de tes nuits tu m'attends toi aussi
Mais c'est long la moitié du chemin

Je voudrais me lever, je voudrais te toucher
Et je sais que tu n'es pas très loin
Et qu'au fond de tes nuits tu m'attends toi aussi
Mais c'est long la moitié du chemin

Maria, Maria, sans tes yeux, sans ton corps, sans ta voix
Maria, Maria, je ne suis que la moitié de moi

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria

5.905


5.905
Composer(s): John Entwistle
Performer(s): John Entwistle



Mother was an incubator
Father was the contents
Of a test tube in the icebox
In the factory of birth
My name is 905
And I've just become alive
I'm the newest populator
Of the planet we call earth

In suspended animation
My childhood passed me by
If I speak without emotion
Then you know the reason why
Knowledge of the universe
Was fed into my mind
As my adolescent body
Left its puberty behind

And everything I know is what I need to know
Everything I do's been done before
Ev'ry sentence in my head
Someone else has said
At the end of my life is an open door

Automatically defrosted
My manhood came on time
I became a man
I left the ICE school behind
And now I'm to begin
The life that I'm assigned
A life that's been lived before
A thousand times

I have a feelin' deep inside
That something is missin'
There's a feelin' in my soul
And I can't help wishin'
That one day I'll discover
That we're livin' a lie
And I'll tell the whole world
The reasons why

But until then, all I know is what I need to know
Everything I do's been done before
Ev'ry idea in my head
Someone else has said
At the end of my life is an open door

Marie-Trottoir


Marie-Trottoir
Composer(s): Charles Dumont; Michel Vaucaire
Performer(s): Édith Piaf



Marie-Trottoir, bonsoir Marie
Marie, bonsoir
Toi qui n'attend personne
Et un peu tout le monde
Perchée sur tes talons
Sur tes trops hauts talons
Marie qui vend du rêve
À ceux qui ont envie d'espoir
Tu as d'ailleurs
De quoi plaire à certains rêveurs
Tu es assez fardée
Tu es un peu trop blonde
Et puis tu as aussi
Aussi un parapluie
Marie qui pense à tout
Même à se mettre à l'abri
Marie-Trottoir, bonsoir Marie
Marie, bonsoir
Toi qui n'attend personne
Et un peu tout le monde
Marie née à Angers
À Nice, ou à Saint-Dié
Marie qui vend du rêve
À ceux qui ont besoin d'aimer
Bonsoir Marie-Trottoir
Tu fais rien dans le noir
Ne parle pas, souris, vas-y
Joue les Jocondes
Marie qui a toujours
Pour tous les sans-amour
Marie qui a un coeur
Grand comme une roue de secours
Marie-Trottoir, bonsoir Marie
Marie, bonsoir...

Maria Lando
Composer(s): César Calvo; Chabuca Granda
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar;
Susana Baca; David Byrne



Dawn breaks shattering like a statue
like a statue of wings that scatter throughout the city
And noon sings like a bell made of water
A bell made of golden water that keeps us from loneliness
And the night lifts its tall goblet
its tall, tall goblet, early moon over the sea

But for Maria there is no dawn
But for Maria there is no midday
But for Maria there is no moon
lifting its red goblet over the waters

Maria has no time to lift her eyes
Maria to lift her eyes, broken by lack of sleep
Maria broken by lack of sleep from so much suffering
Maria from so much suffering, all she does is work

Maria just works and works
Maria only works
and her work enriches others

6 a.m. Or Nearer


6 a.m. Or Nearer
Composer(s): Randy Bachman
Performer(s): The Guess Who



There ain't no reason to talk about the things I could have done
My livin' don't come easy and I've hardly just begun
I'm not getting back the heartaches like before
Anymore
Anymore

They say seeing is believing so I lent myself to travel
Soon became experienced and my soul turned into gravel
Turned every stone and opened every door
Like before
Like before

Sun was hardly shining
It was 6 A.M. or nearer
My mind was sick of trying
As the sky became a mirror
I really felt like dying
It was 6 A.M. or nearer
I was drowning
I was drowning

I soon got sick of falling
So I took a try in praying
I heard somebody calling
Might have been a baby playing
And I fell down from the ceiling to the floor
Like before
Like before

Sun was hardly shining
It was 6 A.M. or nearer
My mind was sick of trying
As the sky became a mirror
I really felt like dying
It was 6 A.M. or nearer
I was drowning
I was drowning

6060-842
Composer(s): Kate Pierson; Fred Schneider;
Keith Strickland; Ricky Wilson
Performer(s): The B-52's



6060-842!

Tina went to the Lady's room
Saw written on the wall
"If you'd like a very nice time
Just give this number a call"

It was 6060-842
606 and I'm waitin' for you
6060-842
606 and I'm waitin' for you

Tina reached in her pocketbook
Pulled out a thin dime
Dropped it in the phone slot
Prayin' she'd get the line

It was 6060-842
606 and I'm waitin' for you
6060-842
606 and I'm waitin' for you

Dial the number to call
Get no answer at all
Dime's in the slot
Ready to trot

Uh, 6060-842
I've been tryin' all day
And I'm makin' no headway
Operator, what's wrong?
I dial stupid number all day long

Operator said,
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected

Hello?
I'm sorry
Hello?
I'm sorry
Hello?
I'm sorry
