Once Upon A Time (Dan Fogelberg)
Once Upon A Time
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
you please
But you can't find no reason
For giving yours
'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there
Drive into town 'most every night
On the chance that there might be someone
Waiting for you
You tell yourself you'll
Give it your best
Maybe settle for less
But you never do
'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there
Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
you please
But you can't find no reason
For giving yours
'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there

2000 Miles
2000 Miles
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
First release by: The Pretenders - 1983
He's gone
2000 miles
is very far
The snow is falling down
It's colder day by day
I miss you
The children will sing
"He'll be back at Christmas time"
In me it's frozen in silent nights
Sometimes in a dream
You appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow
Sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like Christmas time
2000 miles
is very far through the snow
I'll think of you
Wherever you go
He's gone
2000 miles
is very far
The snow's falling down
It's colder day by day
I miss you
I can hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
I hear people singing
It must be Christmas time

1 Of The 2
1 Of The 2
Composer(s): Brian James
Performer(s): The Damned
Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't try
When they see you
You want me to hang around
With you always
But you lie and die
When all you ever give me is disgrace
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
With our saturation eyes
You think you can disguise all those meat things
But can you grovel in the dust
With masochistic lust and make the song sing
Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you
You want me to hang around
With you always
But you lie and die
When all you ever give me is disgrace
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
One of the two
Or one of the two
Or one of the two

Melancholy Man
Melancholy Man
Composer(s): Mike Pinder
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
I´m a melancholy man
That´s what I am
All the world surrounds me
And my feet are on the ground
I´m a very lonely man
Doing what I can
All the world astounds me
And I think I understand
That we´re going
To keep growing
Wait and see
When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you´ll remember what´s been said
By all the good men this world´s ever known
Another man is what you´ll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn´t think like you and me
´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see
When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you´ll remember what´s been said
By all the good men this world´s ever known
Another man is what you´ll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn´t think like you and me (A melancholy man)
´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see (A very lonely man)
(Repeat both verses together)

Once Upon A Summer Afternoon
Once Upon A Summer Afternoon
Composer(s): Levitt; Snyder
Performer(s): John Gary
There were blue butterflies golden daffodils
And a pale August sky filled with whippoorwills
When we fell in love once upon a summer afternoon
I remember a kiss and an apple tree
And the sound of her laughter still follows me
We were so in love once upon a summer afternoon
But the end of the dream always makes me cry
I can still hear the word goodbye
Only blue butterflies, golden daffodils, apple trees
And my heart knows I love her still
Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon
Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon

Hey hey hey hey hey
Gotta go gotta play around no more
Hey hey hey,hey hey

Melancholy Country Blues
Melancholy Country Blues
Performer(s): Carol Douglas
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Let’s diffuse all the bad times
I’m melancholy too
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Put yourself in my shoes
I’m melancholy too
Let’s be sad, it’s so bad
Let’s just sit and cry
Let it go, let it out
It’s what this melancholy evenin’s all about!
Let’s sit by the fire and turn the hi-fi higher
With the saddest songs we’ve found
Let’s sit by the fire and turn the hi-fi higher
So the sad stories go round and round
Round and round and round!
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Let’s diffuse all the bad times
I’m melancholy too
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Put yourself in my shoes
I’m melancholy too
I can see you’re down like me
Let’s have a bottle of wine
I can see you’re down like me
But our troubles will go in time
Let’s raid the fridge, grab the jambalaya dish
And stuff ourselves with food
Deep in talk, deep in thought
The jambalaya will help to melt away
To melt away… this melancholy mood
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Let’s diffuse all the bad times
I’m melancholy too
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Put yourself in my shoes
I’m melancholy too

Belinda (Gianni Morandi)
Belinda
Composer(s): Francesci Migliacci - J. Ray
Performer(s): Gianni Morandi
Bella belinda e' innamorata
parla da sola con l'insalata
non guarda il piatto ma la finestra
scende una lacrima nella minestra
gioca col pane bella belinda
fa le palline con la mollica
nel uo bicchiere bella belinda
vede i suoi occhi pieni d'amore
mille pensieri son come farfalle
mille carezze sui suoi capelli
brividi dolci lungo le spalle
piu' e' innamorata e piu' si fa bella
e' unica al mondo bella belinda
scende le scale come volando
e' da romanzo bella belinda
vive l'amore e salta il pranzo
quando fa notte bella belinda
si copre tutta sino ai capelli
no, non e' il vento bella belinda
sono i sospiri di chi ti pensa
mille pensieri son come farfalle
mille carezze sui suoi capelli
brividi dolci lungo le spalle
piu' e' innamorata e piu' si fa bella
bella belinda e' innamorata
parla da sola con l'insalata
non guarda il piatto ma la finestra

Mel Da Ilha
Mel Da Ilha
Composer(s): Ronaldo Bastos
Performer(s): Cláudio Nucci & Renato Ze
Foi só morder a maçã para sonhar
Sonhar que ia também, meu bem quero ir
Quando for pra ilha
Irmão me leva, irmã me leva
Foi só pensar em você, já estava lá
Pra lá de um céu todo azul
Na beira do mar
Lá estava a ilha
A cor morena, o mel da ilha
Moendo a cana, movendo a ilha
Não esqueça de dizer adeus sorrindo
Recados vão na brisa do mar
Nobreza seja o mel da nossa lha
O sonho pode ser seu, qualquer lugar
(Bis)
Riqueza de viver e ter amigos
Não esqueça não esquecer de me levar
Foi só pensar em você para sonhar

Once Or Twice
Once Or Twice
Composer(s): Terry Kath
Performer(s): Chicago
Oh girl
I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Oh girl
I think you got a messed up mind
But if you will take the time
Baby I can set you free
Well I'm not trying to be
What I am not
But I think what you need
Is what I got
Girl I'm no philosopher
But I can offer you that cure
To mend your broken heart
I know that you are not blind
I know you see my messed up mind
I bet you see my broken heart too
So won't you
Bring your heart and your mind
That's out on the run
Fuse them with my broken heart
In my mind
We'll be one
Girl I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Girl I think you got a messed up mind
Now that you know yours is just like mine
Baby, won't you set me free

1,000,000 Years B.C.
1,000,000 Years B.C.
Performer(s): The Misfits
They're calling me, creatures of the night
Beautiful music
Animal instincts survived
The serpent's tongue
So ancient before the dawn of time
Fed throughout the ages
On the blood of mankind
I've seen it all
From grace men fall
Babylon
Curse of all creations
Winged serpent of the pit
Monstrosity
One million years BC
Ten thousand centuries ago
Cast down from Heaven
To pillage below
The serpent's eyes

Le Train
Le Train
Performer(s): Esther Ofarim
Le train, le train que j'attends
le train, le train que j'attends
un matin s'arrêtera
et mon amour en descendra
Oho oho ...
Cette gare , j'y viens chaque jour
d'un cœur léger ou d'un cœur lourd
et sur un banc de marronnier
je rêve de te retrouver
Oho oho ...
Le train, le train que j'attends
le train, le train que j'attends
je l'ai vu là devant moi
mais mon amour n'y était pas
Oho oho ...
Hou hou ...

Once On A Sunday Morning
Once On A Sunday Morning
Composer(s): Luis Aguile; Alan Blakley;
Len "Chip" Hawkes; Kusik; Snyder
Performer(s): The Tremeloes; James Last
She was just a dream
I can't explain just the way I feel
Strange as if they seemed
But in my mind she was very real
Once on a Sunday morning
Before the sunlight was in the air
Once on a Sunday morning
Before my eyes she was standing there
Reaching for my hand
She smiled at me, we walked away
Tried to understand
But I could see through a sunny day
Once on a Sunday morning
Before the sunlight was in the air
Once on a Sunday morning
Before my eyes she was standing there
Lalalalala..
Saturday was done
I went to bed, but I couldn't sleep
Sunday came along
The memory I will always keep
Once on a Sunday morning
Before the sunlight was in the air
Once on a Sunday morning
Before my eyes she was standing there
Lalalalala..
Dididididi..
On a Sunday morning
On a Sunday morning
On a Sunday morning
On a Sunday morning
On a Sunday morning
On a Sunday morning

10 Degrees And Getting Colder
10 Degrees And Getting Colder
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
He was standin' by the highway
with a sign that just said Mother
When he heard a driver comin'
'Bout a half a mile away
Then he held the sign up higher
Where no decent soul could miss it
It was ten degrees or colder
Down by bolder dam that day
He was raised up in Milwaukee
Though he never was that famous
He was just a road musician
To the taverns he would go
Singin' songs about the ramblin'
The lovin' girls and gamblin'
How the world fell on his shoulders
Back in Boulder I don't know
It was out in Arizona
That he heard the lady listenin'
To each word that he was sayin'
To each line that he would write
So he sat down by her table and
They talked about the weather
Ninety-eight point six and risin'
Down by Boulder dam that day
And she told him she would take him
For a ride in the mornin' sun
Back in Boulder he had told her
I don't know when I had a better friend
Now he's traded off his Martin
But his troubles are not over
For his feet are almost frozen
And the sun is sinkin' low
Won't you listen to me brother
If you ever loved your mother
Please pull off on the shoulder
If you're goin' Milwaukee way
It's ten degrees and getting colder
Down by Boulder dam today

Le Venin
Le Venin
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Une mélodie mélancolique viendeto du ghetto
L'après-midi plombé à mort lui donne ce tempo
Sous un ciel d'encre, des enfants jouent à lancer leurs couteaux
Au-dessus des caisses où des vieux sages planquent leurs dominos
Cette mélodie mélancolique qui vient de la Havane
Contient des ondes maléfiques aux allures de Gitane
M'a dit un vieux conteur d'histoires, buveur de rhum hors-pair
Connu à Kingston un beau soir, en lui payant des verres
Il y a longtemps, un marin fou, amant d'une Gipsy
Elle voulait tout lui donner, tout, mais lui n'a rien compris
J'ai un peu oublié la suite, qui parle de vengeance
Du danger des vraies amoureuses, de poison et de rance
Cette mélodie mélancolique qui vient de la Havane
Contient des ondes maléfiques aux allures de Gitane
Amour couvert ou très obscur, provoquant le destin
Cette mélodie porte-malheur, et s'appelle le venin
viendeto
viendeto
viendeto du ghetto
Une mélodie mélancolique viendeto du ghetto
La pluie qui envahit la rue lui donne ce tempo
Une chanson bizarre et maléfique qui fait fuir les marins
Moi je la chante pour le risque, on verra bien demain...

Meisjes Van 13
Meisjes Van 13
Performer(s): Paul van Vliet
Hebben van die wapperende voeten
Lopen altijd overal tegenop
Weten helemaal niet wat ze moeten
Kauwen dus de hele dag maar drop
Moeten oude jurken van hun grote zusjes aan
Die hun moeders hen nu juist zo enig vinden staan
Houden niet van zomerkampen moeten daar toch heen
En zijn daar met z'n honderden verschrikkelijk alleen
Meisjes van dertien, niet zo gelukkig
Meisjes van dertien, en net tussenin
Te groot voor de poppen, te groot voor de merels
Te klein voor de liefde, te klein voor de kerels
Met een glimmende neus
En met knokige knietjes
En in hun dagboek
Staan de kleine verdrietjes
Meisjes van dertien, vlak voor 't begin
Meisjes van dertien, er net tussenin
Hebben van die dromerige koppies
Hebben van dat dunne steile haar
Willen niet meer samen met de jongens
Willen nou alleen nog met elkaar
Giechelen bij de naam van 't onbereikbare idool
Giechelen om hun vader en de leraren op school
Giechelen van ongemak en giechelen van spijt
Giechelen zich een weggetje naar een betere tijd
Meisjes van dertien, niet zo gelukkig
Meisjes van dertien, en net tussenin
Te groot voor de poppen, te groot voor de merels
Te klein voor de liefde, te klein voor de kerels
Nog nergens een vrouw, ja van boven voorzichtig
Maar verder nog nergens, nog te dun en te spichtig
Meisjes van derien, droom er maar van
Meisjes van dertien, giechel maar an

Once More
Composer(s): Dusty Owens
Performer(s): Roy Acuff;
and various other artists
Once more to be with you dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give up a fortune
If I could see you once more
Forget the past, this hurt can't last
Oh I don't want it to keep us apart
Your love I'll crave, I'll be your slave
If you'll just give me all of your heart
Once more to be with you dear
Just for tonight to hold you tight
Once more I'd give a fortune
If I could see you once more
Once more
