SOME GREAT LYRICS

MISSISSIPPI

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

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

Chorus

Mississippi, I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi, You'll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this sing
Mississippi rolls along
Until the end of time

Now the country song forever lost it's soul
When the guitar player turned to rock 'n' roll
And everytime when summer nights are falling
I always will be calling
Dreams of yesterday

Repeat Chorus

GEORGIE

Georgie, your love reminds me of a song
When it's near you put it on,
And it's refrain
You'll remember
Georgie, But when the song is often played
Another song that has been made
Makes you forget
That you lied the other day

Chorus

Georgie, There was a time you played our love.
Remember, I'm not a record you can play
And turn it off
Georgie, like many songs you will return
Every minute I will yearn
And when it comes
You can see me standing there

Repeat Chorus

Georgie, like many songs you will return
Every minute I will yearn
And when it comes
You can see me standing there
Georgie I'm telling you I'll be standing there
To hold your hand
To kiss your lips
To say "please love me"

SMILE

There were days I couldn't weep
Nights I couldn't sleep
And everything I did just turned out wrong
Till there was you to dry my tears
Whisper love words in my ears
And this is why I'm glad you came along

Chorus

Now there's a smile
To cheer me up when I'm lonely
That I can call whenever I'm feeling down
Smile and you know that I'm only
Longing for the minute you'll be around
Help me 'cause I'm trying to get over
The way I thought of love many times before
If ever you should go away,
And nobody else would be near
There's always a smile to remember that you were here

If I could fly I'd fly away
To a bright blue summer's day
Trying to share my love with you forever more
Darling you made my life complete
You're everything I need
And this is why I'm glad you came along

Repeat Chorus

MY BROKEN SOUVENIRS

For each moment of tears
I stll have my souvenirs
Cherished in a poket full of dreams
I could hold, I could feel
Kept pretending they were real
Long time after lovers stayed away
Now a picture of you
I had cherished so true
Even kissed till I'd see you again,
But when

Chorus

I've been crying today
Threw my memories away
Someting died, as I cried
For my broken souvenirs
As I reach for the sun
Find a place I belong
Now your one of my broken souvenirs

If you need me again,
There's no way you really can
Pasted pieces never make a whole
And if you leave your room
On some windy afternoon
Tried to see where all the pices flew
It was hard to get on
Since my memories were gone
But if you'll ever see me again
I can.

Repeat Chorus

Now your one of my broken souvenirs
Baby your one of my broken souvenirs

I'LL BE YOUR WOMAN

You say, this world is getting harder
Everytime you seek for someone to be loved
There's some evil might
That keeps your right for hopes to come true
The room is getting smaller
And a doller's worth a dime
And I shall be your woman

You searched for love to be much deeper
And you tried to get up
Everytime you felt the dust
Now you've lost your trust
And anything I say could be true
Trouble getting higher
Please let me pull you through

Chorus

I'll be your woman in sorrow and pain
I'll be your woman in sunshine or rain
There's a start, easy or hard to get by
Maybe we're used and thrown away
Maybe were drowned in tears everyday
Say you'll share it with me
And I'll be your woman

You say that your a loser
But losers never die
'Cause they've a lot to gain
And if you could let me teach ya
To reach out your hand just for me
Everytime you're feeling lonely
Darling here's what I will be

And...

Repeat Chorus

IF YOU EVER COME TO AMSTERDAM

I loved to be with you, but now I'm leaving
I really did enjoy each single evening
Moments here with you I will remember
Those rainy days that come

Summer love have left my heart enchanted
It's hard to go away before it ended
There's kisses on a mountain
And three coins in a fountain
The time has come that we must say goodbye.

Chorus

If you ever come to Amsterdam
I'll be waiting there for you
And I'll show you where young lover's go
On a sunny afternoon
Where the summer nights of Amsterdam
Covered flowers at you side
I'll be yours the day we'll meet again
In Amsterdam

I'm calling everyday 'cos when I hear you (when I hear you)
I'm dreaming of the moment I'll be near you (I'll be near you)
I've found a four-leafed clover
I'd like to send it over
And maybe there's a time we'll meet one day

Repeat Chorus

WET DAY IN SEPTEMBER

Wet day in september
Raindrops falling tender
As I stare outside my window
And I see the clouds are passing by
I am feeling lonely
Ooh I love ya, ooh I want ya
Ooh I need ya so I think I'll die

And as I fall asleep
And All the tears I weep
Just because Ooh I love ya, ooh I want ya
Ooh I need ya so I think I'll die
there's the morning sun
And dawn wakes up that pain and find that all my dreams are gone

Chorus

But how can I dream when your gone my love
And you're making love
With every girl but not with me
Yes times have been changed since you went away
That I heard you say

Dear I love ya, I need ya
So much I think I'll die
Dear I love ya, I need ya,
So much I think I'll die

Why must I remember
every wet day in September
just because ooh I love ya, ooh I want ya
Ooh I need you so I think I'll die
there's the morning sun
And dawn wakes up that pain and find that all my dreams are gone

Repeat Chorus

DADDY

He smelt the briny ocean when he was seventeen,
just said goodbye, cause sailors never cry
When the life ashore became no more
Than just a point of dad, he tried to realize
The words the old man said:
Son, you'll never live in Clover,
But the last word's up to you
If you really thought it over, do what you must do.

Daddy, I don't know if I'm wrong
Dad, but it's there where I belong
Daddy, once I'll be back to see
If at home it's really better like you said to me.

He sailed across the seven seas from England to Japan
He saw all the places in the world.
But somewhere in his heart, there is a start of yearning
For the land he left behind, that he adored.

Son, you'll never live....etc.

Daddy I know that I was wrong
Dad I'm coming back where I belong
Daddy, those words you used to say:
That at home it's really better - feel it every day.

LET FREEDOM RANGE

One hundred years
How long to go?
Not long! but how
the seasons can flow
before you'll lay
your hand in mine
I still have a dream sometime
that once there'll be a day
that everyone
knows ev'ry colours
been made by the sun
and though "the lies"
are dressed up in line
we'll have a dream sometime (if 2x)

Let freedom range!
Over the mountains
like the wind blows up the sea
changing you, changing me
Let freedom range!
from every dark side
of a city east or west
free at last (we're) free at last
(thank God Allmighty we're free at last!)

One hundred years
Were hard to go
and even now still nobody knows
How long? not long!
A king said to me:
'I've seen the Glory' (yes...2x)

DOIN' LA BAMBA

In a Mexican village a heavy week's workin' is done
All the boys and the girls comin' out in the streets havin' fun
Doin' la bamba
They're doin' la bamba, come on
Tomorrow's so far away
Let's dance till the morning sun

All our troubles and sorrow can wait till tomorrow's back again
Drink tequilla and wine find a friend now the evening began
Doin' la bamba
They're doin' la bamba, come on
Tomorrow's so far away
Let's dance till the morning sun
Bamba,
Doin' la bamba
Forget what you are and the music
Takes you away
So come on and dance with me
Bamba
Doin' la bamba
Under the moon and the stars
Lovers must be
So come on and dance with me

In the Mexican village the moon says hello to the sun
Will two lovers discover another week's workin' begun
Doin' la bamba
They're doin' la bamba, come on
Tomorrow's so far away
Dancing for six days on

UNE CHAMBRE POUR LA NUIT

Hitchhiking down "la route du soleil"
still six hundred miles to go to Marseille
Suddenly a good looking frenchman stopped
and he said: "Bonsoir Mademoiselle"

Just as I wondered if there's nothing to say
He drove his Mercedes 350 S.L.E.
into a motel parkin-garage at Lyon.

Une chambre pour la nuit (3x)
qu'est que c'est, qu'est c'est
qu'est que c'est que ca?
Une chambre pour la nuit (3x)
that's a room to make l'amour
au secours, au secours, au se- se- secours!

Mademoiselle. Oh la la vous êtes belle
Maybe it's loving, you never can tell
Mademoiselle, Oh la la you and me
Jodeladelohiti(2x)

Hey man, I want ye to make a beau geste
I'm getting chivery when I'm being undressed
he said: "That's no problem, cherie
there's me to keep you chaud!" Comment? Hot!

Une chambre pour la nuit (3x)
que'est que c'est, qu'est que c'est
qu'est que c'est que ca?
Une chambre pour la nuit (3x)
qu'est que c'est, qu'est que cést
qu'est que c'est que ca?

TEENAGE QUEENIE

Your mammy has been looking
while daddy stayed inside
and if you ever show up
before the morninglight
ev'rything that's said and done
is not your point of view
You stayed the whole night through
with your friend Jeany
teenage queenie

You may be goodlooking
but you don't know how to be
your wardrobe's always empty
and no'one 'll ever see
You've been growing for some time
had lovers quite a few
now all you ever do
is being dreamy
teenage queenie

Teenage queenie, you're lost ev'ry night
and your mammy worried
your daddy's uptight
Teenage queenie, you still gotta grow
(and) cause if you wanna be free
it's a long way to go!

You like to hear the music
dance on the beat
wher'ever it goes slowly
it's not your kind of speed
Your sister has been seeing you
in some big shining car
He owned the bar
a fellah called Rossini
teenage queenie

THEN THE MUSIC STOPPED

Then the music stopped
All the lights went out
Someone's crying out "Time to go"
For a moment we wished reality
Wasn't there to be hurtin' so
A Falling star, music and candle light
You know where they are so darlin'
Lead me through the night

When the music stopped
We just walked away
Into everyday, where people go
Cloudy summernights, dying citylights
Now I know that I need you so
Please stay by me 'cause I can still
Feel the falling rain
I wanna be loved by you
And the music starts again

Come along with me
I wanna be loved by
And the music starts again
