Orgullecida
Orgullecida
Composer(s): Eliseo Silveira
Performer(s): Compay Segundo; Ry Cooder
Orgullecida estoy de ser divina
Y de tener tan linda perfección
Tal vez será que soy alabastrina
Serán los filtros reinos del amor
Luego vendrán los celos del cariño
De aquel volcán de llama tentadora
Y tú podrás lograr que yo te quiera
Porque tú has sido mi única ilusión

Midnight To Six Man
Composer(s): Bobby Graham; Dick Taylor
Originally performed by: The Pretty Things
Covered by various other artists
I'll never see
The people I know
In the bright lights of day
So how can I say
That you're any friend of mine
See you any time
I'm feelin' fine
Midnight till six
Well that's my time
That's your time
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
Midnight, midnight to six
I sleep through the day
I wake around four
But I always feel down
Never get off the floor
Till the night comes around
See you downtown
Yeah take in some sound
Baby we'll score
Oh tell me some more
Tell him some more
See you downtown
Yeah take in some sound
Baby we'll score
Oh tell me some more
Tell him some more

Orgone Accumulator
Orgone Accumulator
Composer(s): Dave Brock; Robert Calvert
Performer(s): Hawkwind;
Pop Will Eat Itself; ST 37; Nik Turner
I've got an orgone accumulator
It makes me feel greater
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator
It's no social integrator
It's a one man isolator
It's a back brain stimulator
It's a cerebral vibrator
Those energy stimulators
Just turn your eyeballs into craters
But an orgone accumulator
Is a superman creator
It's no social integrator
It's a one man isolator
It's a back brain stimulator
It's a cerebral vibrator
I've got an orgone accumulator
And it makes me feel greater
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator

Midnight Sun (Lionel Hampton)
Midnight Sun
Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Lionel Hampton; Johnny Mercer
Originally performed by: Lionel Hampton
Covered by various other artists
Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
Warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
Rising to a snowy height
Each star it's own aurora borealis
Suddenly you held me tight
And I could see the Midnight Sun
I can't explain the silver rain that found me
Or was that a moonlight veil?
The music of the universe around me
Or was that a nightingale?
And then your arms miraculously found me
Suddenly the sky turned pale
I could see the Midnight Sun
Was there ever such a night?
It's a thrill I still don't quite believe
But after you were gone
There was still the stardust on my sleeve
The flame of it may dwindle to an ember
And the stars forget to shine
And we may see the meadow in December
Icy white and crystalline
But oh my darling always I'll remember
When your lips were close to mine
And we saw the Midnight Sun

Organ Blues
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): Tyrannosaurus Rex
There's gold in the mountains
And a people living in the sea
I love you and don't you know
That you love me
Yes you do
We make feasties of the beasties
But the beasties just live in the wild
You know that you're slower now
And you were faster when you were a child
Yes you were

Midnight Sun
Composer(s): Pete Ham
Performer(s): Badfinger
Oh no
Oh no
I think it's time for me to run
Well I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come
And if you feel like reminiscing - well come into the midnight sun
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I think I've been away too long
Well I've been coming and I'm going
All the time is growing with fun
And if you feel like something's missing
Well come into the midnight sun
Never be a gooseberry for gooseberries should never see it
Drop the one who's looking at you
Looking at the one who's seeing
you be it
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I think I've been away too long
Well I've been waiting all the summer - counting all the trophies I've won
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun
Oh no
Oh no
I think it's time for me to run
Well I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun
And if you feel like something's missing
Well come into the midnight sun
And if you feel like reminiscing
Well come into the midnight sun

Ordinary People
Ordinary People
Composer(s): George Posford; Eric Maschwitz
Performer(s): George Formby
You know Sally
when I was just a kid like all the others did
I used to dream a out my life's ambition
In turn I planned to be, aye, a sailor on the sea
A crook, a boy scout or even a politician
But here I am with all the dreams I've had
An ordinary chap but still I'm glad
Ordinary people like you and me, happy and contented as we can be
We can walk on air on our ordinary feet
Strolling hand in hand along an ordinary street
Ordinary people are we until, the ordinary time of day is through
And when the ordinary moon - is in the ordinary sky
What extraordinary things we'll do
I had my dreams as well, though they're not much to tell
My schoolgirl head was filled with idle fancies!
But most of all by far I longed to be a star
The heroine of Hollywood romances!
But here I am with nothing as I planned
An ordinary girl and gee, it's grand!
Ordinary people like you and me, happy and contented as we can be
We can walk on air on our ordinary feet
Strolling hand in hand along an ordinary street
Ordinary people are we until, the ordinary time of day is through
And when the ordinary moon - is in the ordinary sky
What extraordinary things we'll do
What extraordinary things we'll do

Midnight Show
Midnight Show
Composer(s): Ron Dante; Gene Allan
Performer(s): Ron Dante
The days will be lonely and the nights so long
But don't you know they're playin' my song
Got myself together and I'm due in L.A.
It's killin' me to leave ya
But I just can't stay
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me
Don't cry for me, you'll make me cry too
Be glad for me, it's all I wanna do
It's what my life's about, it's all that I know
Come lay beside me once more before I go
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me
We had just a moment, still there's no time to spend
I've got to see what happens, see it through to the end
I'm torn between my music, girl, and my love for you
Oh, I'd give the whole thing up now, if you asked me to
Please don't ask me to
Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me
Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so
But they're callin' me ...

Ordinary Man
Ordinary Man
Composer(s): Rik Emmett; Michael Levine; Gil Moore
Performer(s): Triumph
Look in the mirror tell me what do you see
Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me
Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right
Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night
You want to think you're different, but you know you never can
You're just another ordinary man
Hey politician, can't believe a word you say
Almighty media, whose truth d'you sell today?
Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you?
Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to?
The more I get to see, the less I understand
I'm just another ordinary man
Chorus:
Ordinary man
Comes a time to take a stand
No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can
The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman
Everybody plays the game they played since time began
Lawyers and accountant - your media man
Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said
You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head
I see the flash of lightnin'
I hear the thunder roll
A hungry knive, a slice of life
It cuts another soul
Power finds a way to those who take a stand
Stand up ordinary man
Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free
But now I feel the chains of its responsibility
I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe
I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith
I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can
That's the only answer ... for an ordinary man
Chorus
No such thing as easy answers
You play to win and you take your chances
Chorus
Here's to health, here's to wealth
May you never doubt yourself
Chorus

Midnight Rocks
Midnight Rocks
Composer(s): Al Stewart; Peter White
Performer(s): Al Stewart
You say with best intention
Let's throw away convention
Set sail across the water
To find the tides of fortune
I say please understand it
Don't let our love be stranded
Upon the midnight rocks
Upon the midnight rocks
You say there's no endeavour
We couldn't try together
No storm we couldn't weather
We'll ride the wind forever
I hear the words you've spoken
Don't let our love be broken
Upon the midnight rocks
Upon the midnight rocks
Ah, you know you know it's easy
Ah, to let it go believe me
Ah, you know, you know you feel it
Ah, don't lose it when you need it
I know that fascination
With living each sensation
In your imagination
There is no hesitation
I know your mind is turning
Don't let our love lie burning
Upon the midnight rocks
Upon the midnight rocks
I know that fascination
With living each sensation
In your imagination
There is no hesitation
I say please understand it
Don't let our love be stranded
Upon the midnight rocks

Orchids In The Moonlight
Orchids In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Edward Eliscu; Vincent Youmans
Performer(s): Rudy Vallée;
and various other artists
When orchids bloom in the moonlight
And lovers vow to be true
I still can dream in the moonlight
Of one dear night that we knew
When orchids fade in the dawning
They speak of tears and good-bye
Though my dreams are shattered
Like the petals scattered
Still my love can never die
There is peace in the twilight
When the day is through
But the shadows that fall
Only seem to recall
All my longing for you
There is a dream in the moonbeams
Upon the sea of blue
But the moonbeams that fall
Only seem to recall
Love is all, love is you

Midnight Rider
Midnight Rider
Composer(s): Gregg Allman; Robert Payne
Originally performed by: The Allman Brothers Band
Covered by various other artists
Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
And I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've got one more silver dollar
(Repeat three times)
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider

Orchard Road
Orchard Road
Composer(s): Leo Sayer; Alan Tarney
Performer(s): Leo Sayer
To tell the truth it's really such a sad affair
Standing here waiting in the cold night air
But I've got to make this call
'Cause my heart is breaking
I hear the bips drop a coin in the slot
Has it been that long
I thought you'd forgotten me
Well I know that it's getting late
But I just couldn't wait
Will I have the nerve to say
I just wanna come back
You shouldn't just go away
I just wanna come back
I've been struck by such a bad luck
I need a place a little happiness and some love
I think I can see it now
Now let me paint the picture
It's twelve o'clock and the curtains are drawn
They're counting sheep down in orchard road
You're hanging on the telephone line tonight
And I wish I could be in orchard road
Not much been happening here
I think I've got a job
They're gonna call me next week
And I'll be working out of town
But it sure beats hanging around
What's that? Tomorrow at two
You're kidding me -- No
Is it allright with you
I don't know what to say
It'll be like a holiday
When you say you're all alone
Makes me wanna come back
And this house is not a home
I just gotta go back
It's twelve ten when I put down the phone
The moon's shining down on orchard road
And I'm feeling like a schoolboy again and tonight
I'll see you in my dreams of orchard road
It's funny but I thought I'd never go back
I think sometimes I might loose track
But I remember you and the things we do
And I want it back
In orchard road you've got my heart
I left it in your doorway
In orchard road a welcome back
Is waiting there just for me
In orchard road the sun will shine
Again I know, I know
In orchard road you keep my love
Just waiting there for me
It's eight o'clock and the dawn's arrived
In orchard road it's breakfast time
I climb in my car and I turn the key and I'm gone
I am coming home
To Orchard Road
I'm coming home

Midnight Ride
Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders
Well, listen, my children, and-a you're gonna hear
About the midnight ride of-a Paul Revere
He had a hopped-up on his shoulder and mighty hot
Stand on his tail and off like a shot
He was a goin'-tide cat, this ol' Revere (rockin' Paul Revere)
You know he said to "stand on the shoulder and watch for the lights
I'm gonna blink 'em once, oh or blink 'em twice
Once if I hear and twice if I see
Then off of my trail they ain't gonna catch me"
He was a cautious mudder, this ol' Revere (rockin' Paul Revere)
He was a-rockin' and a-ridin' (rockin' and a-ridin')
He was a-peelin' and a-hidin' (peelin' and a-hidin')
He was a-tearin' up the lane like a man insane
Rockin' Paul Revere
(Rockin' Paul Revere)
Well, studs drove the message and they pulled down the zips
They headed for the bridge to cut off the ships
When they got there they shuffled it tight
They polished their pieces and got set to fight
They got the word, man, from ol' Revere (rockin' Paul Revere)
He was a-rockin' and a-ridin' (rockin' and a-ridin')
He was a-peelin' and a-hidin' (peelin' and a-hidin')
He was a-tearin' up the lane like a man insane
Rockin' Paul Revere
Studs saved their bridge and they saved their pads
They were one big bunch of-a happy dads
They licked the mean casses, had nothin' but fear
But they coded homage to Paul Revere
He was a real good head, this ol' Revere (rockin' Paul Revere)
Ah, tell 'em that, Revere!
Oh, ride that on, travel, yeah!
Look at him a-smokin' down that road!
First they got to see him push them red cats right into the sea!
Oh, travel on! (Rockin' Paul Revere) ...

Orange Colored Sky
Orange Colored Sky
Composer(s): Milton DeLugg; William Stein
Performer(s): Nat "King" Cole;
and various other artists
I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange-coloured sky
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Wonderful you came by
I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
When out of that orange-coloured view
Wham! Bam! Alakazam!
I got a look at you
One look and I yelled "Timber"
"Watch out for flying glass"
'Cause the ceiling fell and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout,
"I've been hit, This is it, This is it!"
I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Out of an orange-coloured sky

Midnight Rambler
Midnight Rambler
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Originally performed by: The Rolling Stones
Covered by various other artists
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
Everybody got to go
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
The one that shut the kitchen door
He don't give a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
He don't go in the light of the morning
He split the time the cockerel crows
Talking about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Talking about the midnight gambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall
Sighing down the wind so sadly
Listen and you'll hear him moan
Talking about the midnight gambler
Everybody got to go
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
Well, honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show
Well, I'm Talking about the midnight gambler
Yeah, everybody got to go
Well did you hear about the midnight gambler?
Well honey its no rock-in' roll show
Well I'm talking about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Oh don't do that, oh don't do that, oh don't do that
Don't you do that, don't you do that (repeat)
Oh don't do that, oh don't do that
Well you heard about the Boston...
It's not one of those
Well, Talking 'bout the midnight...sh...
The one that closed the bedroom door
I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe...
Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler
You know, the one you never seen before
So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
Coming down your marble hall
Well he's pouncing like proud black panther
Well, you can say I, I told you so
Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler
Play it easy, as you go
I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows
Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall
And did you hear about the midnight gambler
And did you see me make my midnight call
And if you ever catch the midnight rambler
I'll steal your mistress from under your nose
I'll go easy with your cold fanged anger
I'll stick my knife right down your throat, baby
And it hurts!

Orange Cats
Orange Cats
Composer(s): Norm Hacking
Performer(s): Norm Hacking & Kirk Elliott
Best friends can come in lots of shapes and sizes
That's why they're always such wonderful surprises
Mine has four legs and a lot of orange fur
He tells me life is great with the world's loudest purr
His name is Syd and when his owner moved away
He came a-knocking at my door one day
He said "I sure need a home, oh, won't you let me in?
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends"
Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends
It's been nearly 20 years since he came to stay
He's been my best friend in so many ways
From a handsome young mouser to a wise old man
Syd, the orange cat, he's been my very best friend
Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends
Well, they're not in it for the food, not in it for the money
Just give their chin a scratch, let them sleep where it's sunny
You don't need a turtle or a gerbil or a bunny
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends
'Cause orange cats make the very best friends
