Son histoire a commencé Par marcher derrière son dos Et rentrer dans les cafés En parlant à demi-mots Et, pendant qu'il buvait Son histoire s'en allait En laissant comme pourboire Des "on dit" sur les comptoirs...
On dit qu'il a... On dit qu'il est... On dit qu'il a fait... A fait ceci, a fait cela... Et qu'il a dit ça...
Les maisons de sa ville Ont les yeux de rideaux Blancs regards qui le filent Et se clouent dans son dos C'est la ronde assassine Qui l'étouffe et l'efface Met son cur en vitrine Et son nom sur la glace
On dit qu'il a... On dit qu'il est... On dit qu'il a fait... A fait ceci, a fait celà... Et qu'il a dit ça... Non! Il a dit ça? Oui, il a dit ça!
Et le monde l'a couché Dans le lit des malfaisants L'a bordé d'un débauché D'un tricheur, d'un impuissant Son histoire continue A parler dans les rues Lui fabrique une vie Qu'on affiche à la mairie...
On dit qu'il a... On dit qu'il est... On dit qu'il a fait... A fait ceci, a fait cela... Et qu'il a dit ça...
Un couteau de méfiance Est planté parce que On l'achève en silence Avec des "parce que" En quatre, on découpe On le pend sur la place On le brûle, on le coupe En morceaux de grimaces...
On dit qu'il a... On dit qu'il est... On dit qu'il a fait... A fait ceci, a fait cela Et qu'il a dit ça... Non! Il a dit ça? Oui, il a dit ça!
Mais c'est dur à supporter Un salaud préfabriqué Qu'on habille de votre peau Et qui porte vos chapeaux Un beau jour, il s'est mis Au milieu des "on dit" Sur la place du marché De sa ville endimanchée
On dit qu'il a... On dit qu'il est... On dit qu'il a fait... Il a crié: "Mais c'est pas vrai !" C'est pas vrai! C'est pas vrai !
Ils ont fait la pirouette Et, la main dans la main Leur esprit de girouette A changé de refrain Ils avaient un coupable Ils en font un mécène Le voilà formidable Mais les mots sont les mêmes
On dit qu'il a... On dit qu'il est... On dit qu'il a fait... A fait ceci, a fait cela... Et qu'il a dit ça... Non! Il a dit ça? Oui, il a dit ça! Il a dit ça, il a dit ça, il a dit ça Il a dit ça, il a dit ça, il a dit ça Il a dit ça... Oui, il a dit ça! Non!!! Oui!...
Midnight French Title: Reviens, Je T'Aime Composer(s): Johannes Bouwens Originally performed by: George Baker Covered by various other artists
I'm sittin' on the station Gar du Nord I'm waitin' for a train that never comes For me there is no future and no past I only think about the days we had
Waiting 'till midnight Waitin' for a time to see my baby Waitin' for a time to kiss my lady now
Waiting 'till midnight Waitin' for a time to kiss my honey Waitin' for a time to spend my money now
Revien, cherie, quand tu m'aimes I want to lead you in my loneliness The rain is fallin' and the leaves are fallin' down And so I wait to see you here around
Waiting 'till midnight Waitin' for a time to see my baby Waitin' for a time to kiss my lady now
Waiting 'till midnight Waitin' for a time to kiss my honey Waitin' for a time to spend my money now
Waiting 'till midnight Waitin' for a time to see my baby Waitin' for a time to kiss my lady now
Waiting 'till midnight Waitin' for a time to kiss my honey Waitin' for a time to spend my money
Waiting 'till midnight Waitin' for a time to see my baby Waitin' for a time to see my baby Waitin' for a time to kiss my lady now
Waiting 'till midnight Waitin' for a time to kiss my honey Waitin' for a time to spend my money now
Ophélie
Composer(s): J. Goldbird; C. Juwens; P. Loiseau Performer(s): Dave
Elle se croyait toute seule près de l'eau quand soudain je l'ai vu se pencher un peu trop Devinant qu'elle voulait noyer son chagrin je n'ai pu m'empêcher de lui crier de loin
Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime Ophélie, Ophélie, pense à moi Dire adieu à la vie serait une folie dit bonjour à l'amour sèche tes larmes, sèche tes larmes
Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime Ophélie, Ophélie, pense à moi Dire adieu à la vie serait une folie dit bonjour à l'amour sèche tes larmes, sèche tes larmes
Elle a essuyé les larmes de ses joues et soudain sur la Terre, il n'y avait que nous Que m'importe son prénom puisque aujourd'hui c'est toujours Ophélie qui fait chanter ma vie
Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime Ophélie, Ophélie, pense à moi Dire adieu à la vie serait une folie dit bonjour à l'amour sèche tes larmes, sèche tes larmes
Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime Ophélie, Ophélie, pense à moi Dire adieu à la vie serait une folie Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime
Am Ufer der Seine da spricht ein Mann ein ganz bezauberndes Mädchen an Midi Midinette so schön ist Paris Midi Midinette und du bist so süss Midi Midinette an Place Pigalle weiss ich ein Lokal für uns ideal Midi Midinette mein Herz ist noch frei Midi Midinette wie werds mit uns zwei Sei dich nicht gesehen dann muss ich gestehen Midi Midinette Paris ist so schön

Am Ufer der Seine da sprach ein Mann ein ganz bezauberndes Mädchen an (chorus)
White summer So far I have gone to see you again Hiding your face in the palm of your hands Finding solace in the words I do despise You snatch at every sound And even though you believe that I am shackled within death memories are tainted with paleness Crestfallen still Those eyes...empty like a barren well It was the only task I would undertake To reap the harvest that was mine The seed that had sprung into a florid meadow and left me helpless in your embrace The bond we never spoke of, once stark and enticing now slowly smoldering to dust The celestial touch, from grey to black A fathomless void enclosing Unwritten secrets beneath the cobwebs I can not endure And so I rose from my sleep The moon turned away its face Overture of the long, black night begins...something you said "Eerie circles upon the waters" Until now we have shared the same aura My ashes within your hands My breath in the sepulchral mound You know that your night is my day The final spark that blew life into me the Demon Of The Fall
Middle Of The Road Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde Performer(s): Pretenders and various other artists
In the middle of the road Is trying to find me I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me
But, I got a smile For everyone I meet Long as you don't try dragging my bay Or dropping a bomb on the street
Come on baby Get in the road Come on now In the middle of the road, yeah
In the middle of the road You see the darnest things Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world The babies just come with the scenery
Come on baby Get in the road Come on now In the middle of the road, yeah
One Two Three Four Five Six
In the middle of the road Is my private cul de sac I can't get from the cab to the curb Without some little jerk on my back Don't harass me kid Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell I'm not the cat I used to be I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby Get in the road Come on now In the middle of the road
Nem assaz alhures e antanho Era um evento tamanho A sagração nupcial Vinha a noiva de gargantilha Caçoleta e rendilha Diadema e torçal
Mas se houvesse algum embaraço Dera a moça um mal passo Quanto horror e desdém Ela ia parar no convento Ia dormir ao relento Ou deitar nos trilhos do trem
Do pudor da noiva a bandeira Após a noite primeira Desfraldava-se ao sol A sua virtude escarlate Igual brasão de tomate Enobrecendo o lençol
Mas se não houvesse tal mancha É que outra mancha mais ancha Se ocultava por trás E o rapaz pagava o malogro Com a vendeta do sogro Ou com a malícia dos mortais
``Oh meu pai, oh meu pai, por favor Condenai o nosso amor De langor e luxúria! Mas poupai, oh meu pai Nosso filho Da fúria do Senhor!''
O guri nasceu apressado Nem um mês de casado Tinha quem o gerou Quando o pai caiu nos infernos Foi nos braços maternos Que ele se pendurou
Quando a mãe caiu na sarjeta Foi seguindo a opereta Na garupa do avô Quando o avô caiu do cavalo Foi chorar no intervalo E mais um ato começou
Palhaço, corista Trapézio, dançarina Maestro, cortina É fé na flauta e pé na pista
Middle Age Crazy Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton Performer(s): Tom Jones and various other artists
Today he traded his '98 Oldsmobile He got a heck of a deal on a new Porsche car He isn't wearing his usual gray business suits He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star
'Cause today he's 40 years old, going on 20 But don't look for the gray in his hair 'Cause he ain't got any He's got a young thing beside him That just melts in his hands And he's middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can
He's got a woman he's loved for a long, long time at home But the thrill is all gone, when they turn down the lights And today he's 40 years old, going on 20 And don't look for the gray in his hair 'Cause he ain't got any
And that young thing beside him, you know she understands He's just middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can Yes, he's middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can
Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce; Rodney Crowell; Toby Lightman
Operator oh could you help me place this call You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded She's living in L.A. With my best old ex-friend Ray A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Chorus:
Isn't that the way they say it goes But let's forget all that Give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels
Operator oh could you help me place this call Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me There's something in my eye's You know it happens every time I think about the love that I thought would save me
(Repeat Chorus)
Operator let's forget about this call There's no one there I really wanted to talk you Thank you for your time Oh you've been so much more than kind And you can keep the dime

Operator Composer(s): Ron McKernan Performer(s): Grateful Dead
Operator, can you help me Help me if you please Give me the right area code And the number that I need My rider left upon the midnight flyer Singing like a summer breeze
I think she's somewhere down south Down about Baton Rouge But I just can't remember no number A number I can use Directory don't have it, Central done forgot it Got to find a number to use
Trying to check out her number Trying to run down her line Operator said that's privileged information And it ain't no business of mine It's flooding down in Texas, the poles are down in Utah Got to find a private line
She could be hanging round a steel mill Working in a house of blue light Riding a getaway bus out of Portland Talking to the night I don't know where she's going, I don't care where she's been Long as she's been doing it right Long as she's been doing it right
J'ai un Mickey Maousse Un gourdin dans sa housse Et quand tu le secousses Il mousse J'ai un Mickey Maousse Une espèce de pousse De bambou dans sa brousse Qui pousse
J'ai un Mickey Maousse Un gourdin dans sa housse Et quand tu le secousses Il mousse J'ai un Mickey Maousse De quatre pieds six pouces Qui fiche aux blondes aux rousses La frousse
J'ai un Mickey Maousse Un gourdin dans sa housse Et quand tu le secousses Il mousse J'ai un Mickey Maousse Une paire de pamplemousses En avant toutes et tous Je pousse
