L-o-v-e (Love)


L-o-v-e (Love)
Composer(s): Al Green - Teenie Hodges - Willie Mitchell
First release by: Al Green - 1975



I started to write this song about you
And then I decided that I would write it all about love
And it appeared to me
That you wasn't happy
And that's for sure, positively
That's what the world is made of
So give me more L-O-V-E, love
Love is a walk down Main street (oh love)
Love is an apple that is so sweet (love)
Love is something that can't be beat (love)

L-O-V-E is strange to me, Oh
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
It's all in the heavens, can't you see
You can always depend on me
To give you love

Love is a flower in my soul (oh love)
Love is a story that just can't be told (love)
Can't you feel it burning more and more (love)
Stop and look at the big wheel roll
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story
About love
I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I can be such a happy fella
About love
Love is something that is so divine (oh love)
Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love)
It can't be measured by no sign (love)
In your heart or even in your mind
About love, Love is as bright as the morning sun

Mississippi Delta City Blues


Mississippi Delta City Blues
Composer(s): Terry Kath
Performer(s): Chicago



I've got a smile
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone

But it is so hard
To make that smile
'Cause I know I'll be at home
And alone in a while
And if I look in a mirror
I see my eyes start to tear
I can't help but cry
Since you said goodbye

I've got to hide
Whhat I'm feelin' inside
Can't let them see
How you're hurtin' me

So I guess that's what I'll do
Won't let them see through
Won't let them know
That you could hurt me so

I've got a laugh
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone

But it is so hard
To fake that laugh
When my insides are cryin'
And my heart's torn in half
And all the music I hear
And things I valued so dear
Make me feel so blue
They all remind me of you

(Now) What can I do
(Now) That our love is through
And my purpose is gone
Still I got to live on

I guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so

Garde Du Corps


Garde Du Corps
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



La limousine stoppe devant le chasseur
Je descends, jette un œil, écarte les gêneurs
C'est mon heure de gloire, je roule, j'redresse le dos
J'suis un peu la "star" du show

Je lui ouvr' sa portière, les yeux dans l'horizon
Elle dévoile un genou et puis pose un talon
Décolleté, robe du soir, hum! sa peau qui sent bon
J'suis son garde du corps just' pour ce soir

Elle m'a pris à l'essai
Comme on prend un verre d'eau
Comme ça d'un trait
Sec, ne me montrant que son dos
Moi j'aurais aimé pouvoir lui parler d' son passé
De mes exploits, c'est qu' moi j'en ai du métier

Comm' salaire, faut l'savoir, c'est pas si mal payé
Y a plus cher mais c'est rare et faut être cultivé
Si j'provoque des bagarres c'est pour mieux me justifier
J'suis son carde du corps just' pour ce soir

Les remords et les regrets
J'ignore, j'sais pas c'que c'est
Comme ces idiots
Mercenaires mal dans leur peau,
J'entretiens tout l'temps mon corps, j'le muscule, j'le "gymnastique"
L'aspect physique c'est "top' et puis ça fait "pro"

Carde du corps pour un soir, vous pouvez m'appeler
J'laisse ma carte au cas où ça pourrait vous brancher
Carde du corps pour un soir, j'sais que c'est cher, ça peut payer
Pour s'la donner, pour le show

Qui veut un garde du corps?
Besoin d'un garde du corps?
Qui veut un garde du corps?

Love Looks So Well On You


Love Looks So Well On You
Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Lew Spence - Michael Keith
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Simavi



Like moonlight looks on a country side, like a rose that's silvered with dew
Like sunlight looks on a meadow, love looks so well on you
Like children look on a carousel, all the joys they feel shining through
Like picnics look on a Sunday, love looks so well on you
It's bright as the starlight in your eyes, with stardust in your hair
And oh, that expression on your face, is one you should always wear
Everyday you grow even lovelier, yes, you do, my darling, you do
I love you every day of your life, cause love looks so well on you

M I double S I double S I double P I
M I double S I double S I double P I
Right in the middle of the cotton belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last years possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

Have me a little that Johnny cake
A little bit of that apple pan dowdy
Picking them scuppernon's off that vine
Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy

Ate me a bucket of Muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
Drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bark

M I double S I double S I double P I
M I double S I double S I double P I
Right in the middle of the cotton belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last years possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

Sittin and scratchin' mosquito bites
Old fox done give him the slip
Watchin' the mornin' glories grow
In Biloxi on an overnight trip

I bet five dollars to win two bits
Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday
Ain't no use in'a hurrying up
Can't leave till a week from Monday

One-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni

In the Mississippi Delta

Composer(s): Kurt Feltz; Cole Porter
Performer(s): Caterina Valente



Ganz Paris träumt von der Liebe
denn dort ist sie ja zuhaus
Ganz Paris träumt dieses Märchen
wenn es wahr wird
Ganz Paris grüßt dann das Pärchen
das ein Paar wird
Ganz Paris singt immer wieder
immer wieder nur vom Glück
Wer verliebt ist
wer verliebt ist in die Liebe
kommt nach Paris zurück

Hmmm-hmm...

Ganz Paris...

Love Lives Here


Love Lives Here
Composer(s): Ronnie Lane - Ron Wood - Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Faces



It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives
Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain
Waitin' for a hammer and a big ball and chain

They can tear it all down and build something new
Then only I'll remember what was here
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone
How hong will I have to keep returning?

Now I look back, think I've known all the time
I've been fightin' myself for so long
All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber
Disappear on a cart down the road

Ik Zal Je Missen


Ik Zal Je Missen ((Adapted from: Mississippi (by Pussycat) - 1975)) Composer(s): Werner Theunissen - Peter Van Laet Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 2007



Het water stroomt al jaren naar de zee
En het neemt zoveel verhalen met zich mee
Maar dat van ons behoeft niet zoveel woorden
Alleen een paar akkoorden
Vertellen zoveel meer

In gedachten ben je nog altijd bij mij
En ik hoor nog al de dingen die je zei
Het was toen zoveel mooier dan het heden
Ik kan je niet vergeten
Je leeft nog diep in mij

Ik zal je missen
Ik vergeet je niet
Bij wie of waar je ook mag zijn
Ik weet het niet en dat doet pijn
Want ons verhaal was niet voorbij

Ik zal je missen
Ik heb zoveel verdriet
Elke dag denk ik aan jou
Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou
Je komt niet meer terug

Ik speel nog steeds jouw lied
Op mijn gitaar
Want het afscheid valt me
Nog altijd zo zwaar

Dit blijf ik doen
Om jou niet te vergeten
Hou vast aan het verleden
Ik hou nog steeds van jou

Ik zal je missen
Ik vergeet je niet
Elke dag denk ik aan jou
Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou
Je komt niet meer terug

Elke dag denk ik aan jou
Maar hoe graag ik dat ook wou
Je komt niet meer terug

Gangland


Gangland
Composer(s): Clive Burr; Steve Harris; Adrian Smith
Performer(s): Iron Maiden; Steel Prophet



Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave
You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved
You pray for daylight to save you for a while
You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile

Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- murder's up for sale
Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- where jail birds die

Face at the window leers into your own
But it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bones
How long can you hide? How long till they come?
A rat in a trap but you've got to survive

Once you were glad to be free for a while
The air tasted good and the world was your friend
Then came the day when the hard times began
Now your alone but alive for how long?

A knife at your throat another body on the pile
A contract to keep and it's service with a smile
Murder for vengeance or murder for gain
Death on the streets or a blackened out jail

Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- murder's up for sale
Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- where jail birds die

In Gangland you tell no tales

Mississippi (Pussycat)


Mississippi ((Dutch Version: Ik Zal Je Missen (by Mama's Jasje) - 2007)) Composer(s): Werner Theunissen First release by: Pussycat - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists



Where you can hear a country song from far
And someone plays the honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
The people join the sun
And the wind takes it away

Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they'd like to be
How many times before the song was ending
Love and understanding
Everywhere around

Mississippi, I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be returning again
Mississippi, you'll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time

Now the country song forever lost its soul
When the guitar player turned to rock & roll
And everytime when summer nights are falling
I will always be calling, dreams of yesterday

Mississippi, I'll remember you
Whenever I should go ...

Non ti ricordi quei due ragazzini che in riva al mar andavano ogni sera tu ed io dalle stelle stranamente vicini l'avvenire ci rideva che dolce chimera uho uho uho ma,ma cara bambina, quel dolce visino non lo vedo più uho uho uho ma,ma cara bambina che triste destino saperti laggiù la la la la la la la la la la la la Quante promesse di felicità tutte sciocchezze della più bella età e passato con il vento è finito lo so Ma io sento che t'amerò per l'eternità uho uho uho ma, ma cara bambina,quel dolce visino non lo vedo più uho uho uho ma, ma cara bambina che triste destino saperti laggiù la la la la la la la la la la la la

Gang Bang


Gang Bang
Performer(s): Alex Harvey



There once was a woman with wings
Happy with the simple things
She had silk suspenders and high heeled, stocking thighs
Helping me in my need
She was a friend, indeed
She was my baby until the day she died

Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues
(repeat)

She was a woman who was twice my size
She looked into my eyes
She said "Only you can blow my blues away"
She said "I'll tell you what to do
Bring all your friends with you
And you can come up and see me any ol' time of day"

Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues, ahhh
(repeat)

There were twenty-seven guys
An unexpected surprise
She just kept on rockin' 'til the night was gone
She was smilin' through the tears
For a hundred and fifty years
Just lickin' her lips and helpin' me along

Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues

Love Lifted Me


Love Lifted Me
Composer(s): Preston Ross - Howard Smith
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



I was sinking deep in sin
Far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained within
Sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea

Heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me
Now safe am I

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me

Souls in danger look above
Jesus completely saves
He will lift you by his love
Out of the angry waves

But the master of the sea
Billows His will obey
He your saviour wants to be
Be saved today

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me

Mississippi (John Phillips)


Mississippi
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): John Phillips



Hit it, Hal

Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville
Holding onto a hundred dollar bill
Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
Yeah, she looked good, like a lady

Do it to me, James

And the Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime
And me, you know, I don't hardly mind

Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting easy
Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me

Have a seat and take a load off your feet, and she said ´Yes´
So I said, ´I like your dress'
Swamps all around make you feel kind of funny, don't they, honey
She crossed her legs and looked at me funny

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing

Joseph

Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville (Louisville)

And the Mississippi River, it runs like molasses in the summertime
And me, you know, I don't hardly mind

Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting easy
Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me

Everybody sing

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (2x)

Have a seat, take a load off your feet, and she said ´Yes´
So I said, ´I like your dress
Swamps all around make you feel kind of funny, don't they, honey

Love Lies Bleeding


Love Lies Bleeding
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die

Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

Mission In The Rain


Mission In The Rain
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Jerry Garcia;
Emory Joseph; RatDog



I turn and walk away then I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same

I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break
You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take

Someone called my name you know I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me

Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

Ten years ago, I walked this street my dreams were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dream at all

Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true
But everything you gather is just more that you can lose

Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

All the things I planned to do I only did half way
Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday

There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same

Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

Games Without Frontiers


Games Without Frontiers
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel; Pop Will Eat Itself



A one, two, one two four

Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it

Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle

It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
Games without frontiers, war without tears

Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières

André has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names

Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle

It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
Games without frontiers, war without tears

Jeux sans frontières (repeat to fade)

Love Letters In The Sand


Love Letters In The Sand
((Danish Version: Breve I Sandet (Gustav Winckler) - 1957))
Composer(s): Nick Kenny - Charles Kenny - J. Fred Coots
First release by: Dolly Dawn - 1931
Covered by multiple other artists



On a day like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand

Oh, you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters in the sand

You made a vow that you would always be true
But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you

Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

Mission Bell


Mission Bell
Composer(s): William Michael; Jesse Hodges
Performer(s): Donnie Brooks;
Gene Pitney; P.J. Proby



Say you love me
Say those three words and
I will give my love to you

My love is higher than a mission bell (how deep?)
Deeper than a wishing well (how strong?)
Stronger than a magic spell
My love, for you
It's wider than the widest sea (how long?)
Longer than a memory (How sweet?)
Sweeter than a honey tree
My love, uhmmm, for you

Give me your heart of gold
Your heavenly magic touch
To cherish have and hold
I need your love so much

Say you love me
Say those three words and
I will give my love to you

My love is warmer than a day in spring (how bright?)
Brighter than a diamond ring (how great?)
Greater than a mighty king
My love, for you
Is taller than the tallest tree (how soft?)
Softer than a summer breeze
Oh I ask you please
Give your love, your love
Sweet love to me

How high (ummm)
How deep (ummm)
How strong (ummm)
How wide (ummm)
How long (ummm)
