Love Is The Drug


Love Is The Drug
Composer(s): Andy Mackay - Bryan Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



T´ain´t no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T´ain´t no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me

Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Originally performed by: The Rolling Stones
Covered by various other artists



I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Gabrielle (Hootenanny Singers)


Gabrielle
Composer(s): Thomas; Rossner
Performer(s): Hootenanny Singers



Gabrielle, torka tåren
När det grönskar i snåren
Skall jag komma med våren
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Gabrielle, torka kinden
Gör dig klar, möt vid grinden
Snart så bär sunnanvinden
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Blå ocean, skiljer oss åt
Skeppet det stävar i natten
Stampar och slår
Rullar och går
Veckor förvandlas till år

Gabrielle, torka tåren
När det grönskar i snåren
Skall jag komma med våren
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Gabrielle, torka kinden
Gör dig klar, möt vid grinden
Snart så bär sunnanvinden
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Havet är stort
Vägen är lång
Från Panama och från Rio
Men vägen hem
Känns ändå kort
Kort mot den väg som bär bort

Gabrielle, torka tåren
När det grönskar i snåren
Skall jag komma med våren
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Gabrielle, torka kinden
Gör dig klar, möt vid grinden
Snart så bär sunnanvinden
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Gabrielle, torka kinden
Gör dig klar, möt vid grinden
Snart så bär sunnanvinden
Hem igen, Gabrielle

Tu avevi scritto con me
pagine piene d'amore
tante parole che poi
sono mancate fra noi
la nostra storia può
non finire così
basta un sorriso, lo sai
ricominciamo, se vuoi
Avevi scritto con me
pagine piene d'amore
tante parole che poi
sono mancate fra noi
la nostra storia può
non finire così
basta un sorriso, lo sai
ricominciamo, se vuoi
Ma domani
potrò gridare a tutto questo mondo
che io ti voglio tanto tanto bene
e non amo che te
ma domani
potrò gridare a tutto questo mondo
che ti voglio tanto tanto bene
tanto tanto bene.

I miss you
Since you went away, dear
Miss you
More than I can say, dear
Daytime, nightime
Nothing I do can make me forget

Why we had to break up
Wondering
If we'll ever make up
Wondering
If you ever miss me
As I miss you

I keep wondering
If you ever miss me
As I miss you

Gabrielle (Johnny Hallyday)


Gabrielle
Composer(s): Tony Cole
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Gabrielle, tu brûles mon esprit
Ton amour étrangle ma vie
Et l'enfer, devient comme un espoir
Car dans tes mains je meurs chaque soir
Je veux partager autre chose que l'amour dans ton lit
Et entendre la vie et ne plus m'essouffler sous tes cris
Oh fini... fini pour moi
Je ne veux plus voir mon image dans tes yeux

{Refrain:}
Dix ans de chaîne sans voir le jour c'était ma peine forçat de l'amour
Et bonne chance à celui qui veut ma place {oui ma place}
Dix ans de chaîne sans voir le jour c'était ma peine forçat de l'amour
J'ai refusé, mourir d'amour enchaîné

Gabrielle, tu flottes dans mon cœur
C'est une illusion de douceur
Et tu chantes, c'est la voix d'une enfant
Avec laquelle tu glaces mon sang
Je veux t'expliquer tu confonds et le jour et la nuit
Je veux t'approcher, mais tu tournes le dos et tu t'enfuis
Oh sais-tu vraiment ce que tu veux faire
Je ne serai plus l'esclave de ta chair

{Refrain}

J'ai refusé, mourir d'amour enchaîné
{ad libitum}

Je Suis À Toi (Sandra Kim)


Je Suis À Toi ((aka Une Poussière Dans Le Coeur (Line Renaud) - 1969))
((Adapted from: Can't Take My Eyes Off You (Frankie Valli) - 1967))
Composer(s): Robert Crewe Jr. - Robert Gaudio - Rosario Marino-Atria
Performer(s): Sandra Kim - 1993

Versions In Other Languages:
1967 - Preciso Olhar Pra Você (Jean Carlo)
1968 - Per Ricominciare (Mina)



Tu m'fais changer comme tu veux
Je suis à toi quand tu veux
Je suis sirène ou tigresse
Cela dépend de ta tendresse
Dès que tu as envie de moi
Tu me fais tourner entre tes doigts
Et moi j'aime tellement ça
Que je me roule dans tes bras

Il suffit que tu retardes
Et tous les murs se lézardent
J'te vois dans tous les fossés
Ou dans les bras d'une poupée
Mais dès que tu passes cette porte
C'est un bonheur fou qui m'emporte
Et soudain je ne sens plus
Cette angoisse qui me tue

Je suis à toi
Pourquoi chercher ailleurs
Ce que t'as déjà
Je suis facile, docile
Si tu ne cherches pas
À te jouer de moi ...

Oh Je suis à toi
Tu n' trouv'ras pas ailleurs
Ce que t'as chez moi
Je suis geisha, gitane
Ou Lolita et chaque nuit
Je suis à toi ...

J'ai eu mon éclair de chance
En faisant ta connaissance
Même s'il a fallu arracher
Ma liberté au monde entier
Pour toi, je n'ai jamais déserté
Le grand lit où tu m'as aimée
Alors je n'imagine même pas
De vivre une seconde sans toi

Je suis à toi
Pourquoi chercher ailleurs
Ce que t'as déjà
Je suis facile, docile
Si tu ne cherches pas
A te jouer de moi ...

Oh Je suis à toi
Tu n' trouv'ras pas ailleurs
Ce que t'as chez moi
Je suis geisha, gitane
Ou Lolita et chaque nuit
Je suis à toi ...

Je suis à toi
Pourquoi chercher ailleurs
Ce que t'as déjà
Je suis facile, docile
Si tu ne cherches pas
A te jouer de moi ...

Miss The Mississippi And You


Miss The Mississippi And You
Composer(s): Bill Haley
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
and various other artists



I'm growing tired on the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
I am sad and weary, far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you

Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I go
Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over
Always along and blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's door
Miss the Mississippi and you

I'm growing tired on the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
I am sad and weary, far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you

Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I go
Miss the Mississippi and you

Ozark Mountain Jubilee


Ozark Mountain Jubilee
Composer(s): Scott Anders; Roger Murrah
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



I hear a rooster crowin'
It's a frosty mornin'
I can almost see the sign
Goin' so fast I can't stop
I'm just a stones-throw from Little Rock
Headin' for that Missouri line

Don't need a map to get there
You can get there from anywhere
When you're goin' in your head
I can see the arms outreachin'
Just like the day I was leavin'
It's been oh so many years

Let me get on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line
Take my time
And see all I can see
Fiddler rosin up your bow
We'll have our own
Ozark Mountain Jubilee

If I can't be a favorite son
I'll be the prodigal one
'Cause I've been gone too long
Oh how the years have flown by
Oh how I've realized
How much of me is gone

(repeat chorus)

Love Is The Answer


Love Is The Answer
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren - Willie Wilcox - Roger Powell
First release by: Utopia - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists



Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here anymore

And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore to shore
If there's a shortcut, I'd have found it
But there's no easy way around it

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls

And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try?

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Tell me, are we alive or a just a dying planet?
What are the chances?
Ask the man in your heart for the answers

And when you feel afraid, love one another
When you've lost your way, love one another
And when you're all alone, love one another
And when you're far from home, love one another
And when you're down and out, love one another
And when your hope runs out, love one another
And when you need a friend, love one another
And when you're near the end, love
We got to love
We got to love one another

Miss Sun

Performer(s): Boz Scaggs;
The Average White Band; Toto



Been thinking 'bout you all night
Guess you got me in your spell
But I think that I'll be allright
Even if I don't get well....

Hey, Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms....

I can still remember
What you told me with your eyes
One kiss
Now it's down to this
Guess it's time you realize

Hey, Miss Sun, what could I say
I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms
Has you back in my arms.....

Hey, Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you but the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning
Has you back in my arms,
In my arms..... ooh.... ooh.... ah.... ah....ahh
Yeah..... yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you but the moon got in my way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms....

One kiss is what I need.....
One kiss.... give it to me......
It won't be long until the morning has you......
Won't be long until the morning has you back in my arms......

One kiss....I realize
One kiss....I can see it in your eyes

Oh, it won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms.....

Oye Guitarra Mía


Oye Guitarra Mía
Composer(s): Ramon Arcusa; Manuel de la Calva
Performer(s): José Feliciano;
Nydia Caro; Angela Carrasco



Oye guitarra mía
tu que sabes hablar mejor
quiero que tu le digas
lo que siente mi corazón
Oye guitarra mía
tu que sabes hablar mejor
quiero que tu le digas
lo que siento yo por su amor

Dile que la luz del día
dile que el amanecer
dile que cada momento
me recuerda su querer
me recuerda su querer

Oye guitarra mía.....

Y que al contemplar la noche
con mi alma enamorada
la negrura de los cielos
me recuerda su mirada
me recuerda su mirada

Oye guitarra mía.....

Dile que en la madrugada
recuerdo sus frases bellas
mientras muero en mis suspiros
con la luz de las estrellas
con la luz de las estrellas

Oye guitarra mía.....

Dile que mientras yo duermo
ella está en todos mis sueños
no preguntes que me pasa
si es que triste me despierto
es que al despertar la pierdo

Oye guitarra mía......

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)
1971 - Al Cuore Non Comandi Mai (by Mina)



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

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

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
