One More Arrow
One More Arrow
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
He said I want to grow up
And look like Robert Mitchum
And I hope that when I'm gone
There'll be some say that I miss him
He must have been romantic
He must have sensed adventure
And I feel the steel of his strong will
In the frame around his picture
And he's one more arrow flying through the air
One more arrow landing in a shady spot somewhere
Where the days and nights blend into one
And he can always feel the sun
Through the soft brown earth that holds him
Forever always young
He could have been a boxer
But the fight game seemed so dirty
We argued once he knocked me down
And he cried when he thought he'd hurt me
Strictly from the old school
He was quiet about his pain
And if one in ten could be that brave
I would never hate again
One more arrow
One more arrow
One more arrow
Forever always young

Merci Beaucoup (Gilbert Bécaud)
Merci Beaucoup
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud
Pour Monsieur le savant, savant
qui a le prix Nobel
pour les autres qui dans cent ans
nous rendront éternels
pour l'avion qui dans le brouillard
retrouve son terrain
pour la joie de dire le soir
"à demain!"
'merci bien, merci bien
merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup
oh oui'
Pour ceux qui très tôt le matin
s'en vont de leur banlieue
et pour toi qui plantes un sapin
bien que tu sois très vieux
pour le noir qui chante à Saint-Louis
pour le rouge à Moscou
pour le riz du petit Hindou
qui a faim
'merci bien, merci bien, merci bien, merci bien
merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup
oh oui'
Pour Chaplin et pour Picasso
pour Molière et Shakespeare
pour les intelligents, les sots
les meilleurs et les pires
pour le diable et pour le bon Dieu
qui s'entendent si bien
pour tes dents et pour tes cheveux
et pour rien
'merci bien, merci bien, merci bien, merci bien
merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup
oh oui'
Pour les secondes et pour les heures
que nous jette le temps
pour l'enfant qui rit ou qui pleure
mais qui est bon enfant
pour la fille qui va donner
son premier cri d'amour
pour le fils qui prend le chemin
qui retourne
'merci bien, merci bien, merci bien, merci bien
merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup
merci beaucoup'

One Moment In Time
One Moment In Time
Composer(s): John Bettis; Albert Hammond
Performer(s): Whitney Houston;
and various other artists
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

Merci Beaucoup (Corinne Calvet)
Merci Beaucoup
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston; Mack David
Performer(s): Corinne Calvet
Merci beaucoup, thank you monsieur, thank you
The cocktails you served were really supreme
And my heart skipped a beat when you touched my hand
As you served me the caviar and that delightful tea
It was so nice
Merci beaucoup, thank you monsieur, thank you
I'm afraid that the wine, it went to my head
But I got such a thrill when you said
It was so nice
Thank you monsieur, thank you

One Mile Apart
One Mile Apart
Composer(s): Lisa Aschmann;
Michael Johnson; Karen Taylor-Good
Performer(s): Michael Johnson
My name is Mary Francis and I live in El Paso
In a large house on Mt. Franklin, I have quite a view
I can see the desert, pecan trees in the valley
Those little shacks in Juarez, yes I can see them too
My name is Juan Contreras and from my home in Juarez
I can see El Paso and the houses of the rich
I leave my children sleeping to earn a few pesetas
Selling red pistachios to the tourists on the bridge
Chorus:
Which side of the river, did someone flip a coin
It's sad enough to break a river's heart
How can there be so much distance between us
When our houses are one mile apart
My house is Spanish stucco, it has a blue Jacuzzi
Four bedrooms and a fireplace, a swimming pool with heat
My house is brown adobe, I don't have running water
I don't have indoor plumbing, or pavement on my street
Chorus

Mercenary Territory
Mercenary Territory
Composer(s): Lowell George; Richard Hayward
Performer(s): Little Feat
Is it the lies
Is it the style
It's a mercenary territory
I wish you knew the story
I've been out here so long dreaming up songs
I'm temporarily qualmless and sinking
I've died my time in that rodeo
It's been so long and I've got nothing to show
Well I'm so plain loco
Fool that I am I'd do it all over again
Is it the style
Is it the lies
Is it the days into nights
Or the "I'm sorry"s into fights
Now some kind of man, he can't do anything wrong
If I see him I'll tell him you're waiting
'Cause I'm devoted for sure but my days are a blur
While your nights turn into my mornings
Well I did my time in that rodeo
Fool that I am I'd do it all over again
Is it love keeps you waiting so long
Makes you say I'll see you around
The forces that be, they just just don't see
While your nights turn into my mornings
Is it the style
Is it the lies
The days into nights
Or the "I'm sorry"s into fights

One Meatball
One Meatball
Composer(s): Lou Singer; Hy Zaret
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists
Little man walked up and down
To find an eatin' place in town
He looked the menu thru and thru
To see what a dollar bill might do
Chorus:
One meatball
One meatball
One meatball
All he could get was one meatball
He told that waiter near at hand
The simple dinner he had planned
The guests were startled one and all
To hear that waiter loudly call
Repeat Chorus
Little man felt so ill at ease
He said: "Some bread Sir, if you please."
The waiter hollered down the hall:
You get no bread with your one meatball
Little man felt so very bad
One meat ball is all he had
And in his dreams he can still hear that call
You get no bread with your one meatball

Mercedes Benz
Mercedes Benz
Composer(s): Janis Joplin; Mike McClure; Bob Neuwirth
Originally performed by: Janis Joplin
O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
My friends all have Porsches I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
O Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me
I'll wait for delivery each day until 3
O Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Oh Lord won't you buy me a night on the town
I'm counting on you Lord, please don't let me down
Prove that you love me and buy the next round
Oh Lord won't you buy me a night on the town

One Man's Fool
One Man's Fool
Composer(s): Tony Banks; Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Genesis
As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground
And the dust-filled smoke rises in the air
You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're satisfied
To all who think they know
To everyone that knows that they're right
D'you ever wonder why
D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?
Now as the daylight fading ends another day
For too many life will never be the same
And it is all for the reason they will never understand
To all who think they know
To everyone that knows that they're right
D'you ever wonder why
D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?
And on the morning after do you realise
See the ruined faces and the ruined lives
Inside your head do you never have the thought a moment of doubt?
To all who think they know
To everyone that knows that they're right
D'you ever wonder why
D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?
There are only dreams one like any other
What means the earth to one or few means nothing to another
There are only dreams like any other
Drawing lines upon the sand, on the land, on the sea
Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless to me
Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one
Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another
There are only dreams like any other
There are only differences, worth living but not dying for
One man's joy makes another man weep
Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it
One man's saint is another man's fool
One man's hot is another man's cool
And when the war is over, won
Will there be peace for evermore?
Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from gold
Praying for their mercy that won't save their souls
Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one
Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another
There are only dreams like any other
There are only hopes and beliefs one like any other
(there are only dreams like any other)
Worth living but not dying for
Living but not dying for not killing for
There are only dreams like any other like any other
To all of those who think that they know
All I can say yes all I can say
One man's joy makes another man weep
Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it
One man's saint is another man's fool
One man's hot is another man's cool
There are only dreams like any other
There are only hopes and beliefs, one like any other
There are only dreams like any other...

Mer
Mer
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Tuca
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Mer
Mon cœur pèse des tonnes
Et mon corps s'abondonne
Si léger à la mer
La mer pleure ses vagues
Qui ont un goût de larmes
Et s'en vont, éphémères
Se perdre en la terre
Se fondre à la terre
Mer
Magique, originelle
Dans son rhythme essentiel
Le ventre de la mer
Vous garde pour vous jeter
Dans un monde desséché
Qui n'est fait que de terre
Où je n'ai jamais
Su ce qu'il faut faire
Et la vague danse et joue
Puis se brise
Et la mer tout à coup
Devient grise
Mon amour est si lourd à porter
Je voudrais doucement me coucher
Dans la mer
Magique, originelle
Dans son rhythme essentiel
Je voudrais que la mer
Me reprenne pour renaître
Ailleurs que dans ma tête
Ailleurs que sur la terre
Où sans mon amour
Je ne peux rien faire

Sayin' let's get together and feel all right
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)

Noche De Ronda
((English Version: Be Mine Tonight (by Tony Martin & Dinah Shore))
Composer(s): María Teresa Lara
Performer(s): Julio Iglesias
Noche de ronda
qué triste pasas
qué triste cruzas
por mi balcón
Noche de ronda
cómo lastimas
cómo me hieres
el corazón
Luna que se quiebra sobre las tinieblas de mi soledad...
¿Adónde vas?
Dime si esta noche tú te vas de ronda como ella se fue...
¿Con quién está?
Dile que la quiero, dile que me muero de tanto esperar
que vuelva ya
que las rondas no son buenas
que hacen daño, que dan pena
y se acaba por llorar
...¿Adónde vas?
...¿Con quién está?
...Dile que la quiero, dile que me muero de tanto esperar
que vuelva ya
que las rondas no son buenas
que hacen daño, que dan pena
y se acaba por llorar

Composer(s): Saulo Sedano
Performer(s): Javier Solís
and various other artists
Clavaste tus ojos en mi alma
tan sólo un momento
tan sólo un instante
y yo me rendí
Creí que tus labios divinos
me darían la vida
me darían ternura
y yo me rendí
Sentí que tu cuerpo extasiado
se unía con el mío
soñé que a mi alma llegaba
por fin el amor
Mentira, mentira, mentira
tan sólo mentira
era sólo un sueño
un sueño de amor
Sentí que tu cuerpo extasiado
se unía con el mío
Soñé que a mi alma llegaba
por fin el amor
Mentira, mentira, mentira
tan sólo mentira
era sólo un sueño
un sueño de amor
De amor

One Love
Composer(s): Costa; Hermansen; Derrick James;
Hallgeir Rustan; Ryan; Mikkel SE; Webbe
Performer(s): Blue
It's kinda funny how life can change
Can flip 180 in a matter of days
Sometimes love works in mysterious ways
One day you wake up gone without a trace
(bridge)
I refused to give up
I refused to give in
You're my everything
I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in, oh no
Everybody sings
(chorus)
One love - for the mother's pride
One love - for the times we cried
One love - gotta stay alive
I will survive
One love - for the city streets
One love - for the hip-hop beats
One love, Oh I do believe
One love is all we need
Late at night I'm still wide awake
Feel this is far more than I can take
I thought my heart could never break
Now I know that's one big mistake
(bridge)
(chorus)
Baby, just love me love me love me
Baby, just hold me hold me hold me
Oh, love me love me love me, Oooh

Mensonge
Mensonge
Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat
Performer(s): Pierre Rapsat
Pourquoi se mentir
Est-ce un jeu, un plaisir
Qu'est ce qui nous inspire
De mentir comme on respire
Combien de cicatrices
Laissées par ce vice
Le mensonge nous ronge...
Toujours ce désir
Qu'il nous faut assouvir
L'envie de séduire
Ou l'envie de détruire
Que se soit par omission
Conviction, ambition
Le mensonge nous ronge
Détecteur de mensonge
Sérum de vérité
Dans un tissu d'mensonges
Nu comme la vérité
Allez dis-le "je l'jure"
Fais voir ta figure
Pourquoi ta main droite
Soudain devient moite
Le mensonge nous ronge
Et comme une rouille
Attaque nos sentiments
Elle tâche, elle souille
Nos rêves d'enfant
Une sale habitude
Self-défense attitude
À vouloir paraître
Tromper son monde
De tout ce mal-être
Parfois le masque tombe
Alors crois de bois, croix d'fer
Si tu mens c'est l'enfer
Le mensonge nous ronge
Détecteur de mensonge
Sérum de vérité
Dans un tissu d'mensonges
Nu comme la vérité
Allez dis-le "je l'jure"
Fais voir ta figure
Pourquoi ta main droite
Soudain devient moite
Le mensonge nous ronge

One Look Over My Shoulder (Is This Really Goodbye?)
One Look Over My Shoulder (Is This Really Goodbye?)
Composer(s): Roger Ball; Alan Gorrie; Hamish Stuart
Performer(s): The Average White Band
Here we are - untogether
Wish I could say that it isn't so
We've put each other through so much pain
It doesn't make sense anymore
Still it tears me up inside to think
that I might never see you again
I can't pretend
We've been through so much stormy weather
While we've been together
I can't coldly walk away I gotta have
One look over my shoulder
One last look in your eyes
The outlook may be colder
is this really good-bye
It's too late - got to face it
We've come to a fork in the road
The signpost shows a different way
And I realize
I've got to stop thinking with my heart
Make a new start
We've come through so much stormy weather
Tried to stay together
I can't simply walk away without
One look over my shoulder
One last look in your eyes
The outlet may be colder
is this really good-bye
