Love Is Stronger Far Than We


Love Is Stronger Far Than We
((Adapted from: Plus Fort Que Nous (by Nicole Croisille & Pierre Barouh) - 1966))
Composer(s): Francis Lai - Pierre Barouh
Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto - 1969
and multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1970 - Vår Lust Var Starkare Än Vi (by Sylvia Vrethammar)

We tell ourselves
another season
We turn away
and find the reason
We close our eyes
to what we see
But love is stronger
far than we

When we are close
the world is singin'
And when we touch
the moonlight is wingin'
And there's no way
to disagree
For love is stronger
far than we

When hearts are
meant for caring
And lives are
meant for sharing
Then we are joined
by destiny
For love is stronger
far than we

Yes, we may say
another season
May say goodbye and
find the reason
But love decides
how things must be
For love is stronger
far than we ...
Love is stronger
far than we

Miss Sarajevo


Miss Sarajevo
Composer(s): Sonny Bono; Adam Clayton;
The Edge; Brian Eno; Larry Mullen Jr.
Originally performed by: Passengers
Covered by: George Michael



Is there a time for keeping a distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to walk for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colors
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for east 17
Is there a time to turn the mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the crown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes

Luciano Pavarotti:
Dici che il fiume
trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
e le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
come fiume
L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare

Bono:
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
When the night is set to freeze

Plus Fort Que Nous


Plus Fort Que Nous

Avec notre passé pour guide
On se devrait d'être lucide
Mais notre méfiance est à bout
L'amour est bien plus fort que nous

Qu'on espère ou qu'on se résigne
Quand il le veut, il nous désigne
Voilà ça devait être à nous
L'amour est bien plus fort que nous

Quand tu es près de moi, qu'y faire?
Le temps s'habille de mystère
Et le vent du soir est plus doux
L'amour est bien plus fort que nous

Vivre libre en un marécage
Ou vivre heureux dans une cage
Qu'importe il fait son choix sans nous
L'amour est bien plus fort que nous

On croyait qu'il pourrait suffire
Pour ne plus aimer de le dire
Pourtant ça devait être à nous
L'amour est bien plus fort que nous

Avec notre passé pour guide
On croyait qu'il pourrait suffire
On se devrait d'être lucide
Pour ne plus aimer de le dire
Notre méfiance est à bout
Voilà ça devait être à nous
L'amour est bien plus fort que nous

Miss Otis Regrets


Miss Otis Regrets
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Originally performed by: Douglas Byng
Covered by various other artists



Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
but last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her love down, madam
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam
They strung her upon the old willow across the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam......
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today

Oye


Oye
Composer(s): Roberto Livi; Alejandro Vessani
Performer(s): Raphael



Oye
Con quien te crees que estas hablando
A quien estas amenazando
Que te marchas para siempre,
Que no vuelves nunca mas

Oye
Que yo puedo querer mucho
Pero amenazas yo no escucho
Porque no voy a permitirte
Que me lleves por delante

Mira que te estas equivocando
Y esta vez no voy a perdonarte
Que el amor asi se va gastando
Mira que se rompe al maltratarle
Se cuanto te quiero y no lo niego
Se que si te vas voy a extrañarte
Pero si cruzas esa puerta
Yo la cerrare para olvidarte

Oye
Que de verdad me estas perdiendo
Y si me quieres no comprendo
El porque querer probarme
Que dominas nuestro amor

Oye
Que tu actitud no va conmigo
Y aunque me duela yo te olvido
Porque no voy a permitirte
Que me lleves por delante

Performer(s): Mina - 1971

Versions In Other Languages:

Con quello
che mi è capitato
io non ci avrei mai
riprovato
ma ti ho incontrato
e come sai
al cuore non comandi mai
Ci si guardava un pò esitanti
non volevamo farci amanti
l'amore ha fatto tutto lui
al cuore non comandi mai
Appena te ne vai amore
è proprio strano non ti pare
io tremo e penso a come stai
al cuore non comandi mai
Con quello
che mi è capitato
io non ci avrei mai
riprovato
ma ti ho incontrato
e come sai
al cuore non comandi mai
Avevo scelto
pure io
di stare sola
amore mio
ma puoi lottare
fin che vuoi
al cuore non comandi mai

Miss Liberty


Miss Liberty
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Full Company



Liberty, Miss Liberty, we welcome you here to our shores
Liberty, Miss Liberty, the key to the city is yours
Liberty, Miss Liberty, you're not just the symbol of a statue that we love
But the most beautiful girl in the world

Would you like to dine some evening at the Astors? ....... I'd love to
Would you like to play a week at Tony Pastor's? ....... I'd love to
Would you like to come to Trinity on Sunday? ....... I'd love to
Would you like to launch a battleship on Monday? ....... I'd love to

Here's some orchids fresh with dew from the President to you
Here's some winter flannels from the nation's mothers
Here's some tickets for our ball, you'll be welcome at the hall
Here's some cough drops from the famous bearded brothers

I represent Pratt's Astral Oil
The finest application for a pimple or a boil
We'll pay you handsomely for very little toil
Your picture with a bottle of Pratt's Astral Oil

I thank you, I thank you, I'm grateful to be sure
Like money in the bank, you have made me feel secure
Your Congress, your Senate, your President, so dear
But mostly Mister Bennett, the man who brought me here

Owner Of A Lonely Heart


Owner Of A Lonely Heart
Composer(s): Jon Anderson;
Trevor Horn; Trevor Rabin; Chris Squire
Performer(s): Yes;
and various other artists



Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser

See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you - and that's the only way

Shake - shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Say - you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before

Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

After my own decision
They confused me so
(Owner of a lonely heart)
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
(Owner of a lonely heart)
And don't you hesitate at all - no no

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
(Owner of a lonely heart)
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start
(Owner of a lonely heart)

Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
(Owner of a lonely heart)
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it

Miss Hit And Run


Miss Hit And Run
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul; Barry Blue
Performer(s): Barry Blue



All of the guys in this town
Say get out of her way, slow down
You've never met Miss Hit and Run

She will break your heart in two
You don't know what she can do
Of any of the girls you meet
She's gonna lead you down a one way street
And then you're really hurtin' deep

You should have known better, you should have known better
You should have known better, you should have known better
I should have known better, I should have known better
You should have known better, you should have known better

She will break your heart in two
You don't know what she can do
Watch out fella's she's gonna hit your heart
She's gonna run - run

She will take you for a ride
And leave you hurtin' deep inside
And if you see her red light
And you think you should stop, you're dead right
You've never met Miss Hit and Run

You should have known better, you should have known better ....

She will break your heart in two
You don't know what she can do
She will take you for a ride
And leave you hurtin' deep inside ....

Love Is Like Oxygen


Love Is Like Oxygen
Composer(s): Trevor Griffin - Andy Scott
First release by: The Sweet - 1978



Love is like oxygen
You get too much you get too high
Not enough and you're gonna die
Love gets you high

Time on my side
I got it all
I've heard that pride
Always comes before a fall
There's a rumour goin round the town
That you don't want me around
I can't shake off my city blues
Every way I turn I lose

Love is like oxygen
You get too much you get too high
Not enough and you're gonna die
Love gets you high

Time is no healer
If you're not there
Lonely fever
Sad words in the air

Some things are better left unsaid
I'm gonna spend my days in bed
I'll walk the streets at night
To be hidden by the city lights, city lights

Miss Grace


Miss Grace
Composer(s): Johanna Hall; John Hall
Performer(s): The Tymes;
The Catalinas; John Hall; Orleans



Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace
Satin and perfume and lace
The minute I saw your face
I knew that I loved you

Hey you, listen to me
I got a lot of truth I want to tell you
I just met a woman who turned me upside down
The rivers turn in their beds
Flowers bloom where she treads
She turns an awful lot of heads
When she comes to town

Miss Grace when you walk by
You're the twinkle in my eye
There's no need to wonder why
I've fallen for you

Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace
Satin and perfume and lace
The minute I saw your face
I knew that I loved you

Strangest thing of all you see
Is that this could happen to me
Lady Grace she said she'll be so fine
Someday I'll make her mine all mine

Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace
Satin and perfume and lace
The minute I saw your face
I knew that I loved you

Ooh ooh ooh Miss Grace
Satin and perfume and lace
The minute I saw your face
I knew that I loved you

Overs


Overs
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel;
and various other artists



Why don't we stop fooling ourselves?
The game is over
Over
Over

No good times, no bad times
There's no times at all
Just The New York Times
Sitting on the windowsill
Near the flowers

We might as well be apart
It hardly matters
We sleep separately

And drop a smile passing in the hall
But there's no laughs left
'Cause we laughed them all
And we laughed them all
In a very short time

Time
Is tapping on my forehead
Hanging from my mirror
Rattling the teacups
And I wonder
How long can I delay?
We're just a habit
Like saccharin

And I'm habitually feelin' kinda blue

But each time I try on
The thought of leaving you
I stop...
I stop and think it over

Love Is Like Champagne


Love Is Like Champagne
Performer(s): Jane Morgan



Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
La da da da da da da

Love me and my heart grows dizzy
Love is something like champagne
I could climb the Eiffel Tower
I could swim the River Seine

Kiss me and I walk in sunshine
Though the world be drenched in rain
Love me and my heart goes crazy
Love is something like champagne

Love's a wedding carousel
Love's a magic wishing well
Love's a golden wedding bell
Love do right by mademoiselle

Kiss me and I'm painting pictures
Only lovers can explain
Love me and my heart grows dizzy
Love is something like champagne

Tu me fais tourner la tête
Mon manège à moi c’est toi
Je suis toujours à la fête
Quand tu me prends dans tes bras

Kiss me and I walk in sunshine
Though the world be drenched in rain
Love me and my heart goes crazy
Love is something like champagne

Miss Duval


Miss Duval (Adapted from: The Shelter Of Your Eyes - 1972) Composer(s): Don Williams; Boris Bergman Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1980



Elle s'arrête à un feu rouge
Met son moteur au point mort
A part sa mèche, rien ne bouge
Sur le volant, elle s'endort
Logique, le feu passe au vert
Rien ne se passe et je klaxonne
Je me reflète dans ses verres
Elle ne peut plus voir personne
Ah bon, c'est vous Miss
Vous êtes bien pâle
Quelque chose ne tourne pas rond
Que se passe-t-il?
Avez-vous mal?
Faut circuler Miss Duval
C'est pas l'endroit pour dormir
C'est peut-être trop dur à l'école
Ces gosses doivent vous faire souffrir
C'est quand l'mariage avec Paul?
Quand je l'ai sifflée au feu rouge

Overkill


Overkill
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Men At Work



I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perahaps its just my imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart


Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland
First release by: The Supremes - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



The love bug done bit me
Didn't mean for him to get me
Woo, get up in the morning
And I'm filled with desire
No, no, I can't stop the fire
Love is a real life wire
Ooh, it's a burning sensation
Far behind imagination

Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearing it all apart
Just an itching in my heart
And baby, I can't scratch it
Keeps me sighing, ooh
Keeps me yearning

No, mama can't help me
No, daddy can't help me
I've been bitten by the love bug
And I need some information
To help me out this situation

Now, when you're ill
You take a pill
When you're thirsty
Drink your fill
What you gonna do
When love gets a hold
A hold on you
Love is like an itching in my heart
And baby, I can't scratch it

Love is a nagging irritation
Causing my heart complication
Love is a growing infection
And I don't know the correction
Got me rocking and reeling
And I can't shake the feeling

Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearing it all apart
Just an itching in my heart
And baby, I can't scratch it
Keeps me sighing, ooh
Keeps me yearning

Keeps me burning
Keeps me tossing
Keeps me turning
Keeps me yearning

I've been bitten by the love bug
And I need some information
To help me out this situation
Love is a nagging irritation
Causing my heart complication

I've been bitten by the love bug ...

Overjoyed


Overjoyed
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder;
and various other artists



Over time, I've building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I've sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know for in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you
