Tellement Bu, Tellement Fumé Composer(s): Joe Dassin - Claude Lemesle - Pierre Delanoë First release by: Joe Dassin - 1979
Je n'me souviens même pas de la couleur de ses yeux Je crois bien qu'ils était verts, j'parie qu'ils étaient bleus Je me rappelle seulement que je les aimais Tellement bu, tellement fumé
Dans ma mémoire brouillard, je ne retrouve plus son prénom Dans mes idées fumées j'fais à peine son brouillon Je n'sais plus c'qu'elle disait, sauf que j'y ai cru Tellement fumé, tellement bu
L'oubli ça tient à quoi? Des glaçons dans un verre Un halo de tabac Dansant dans la lumière Ca tient à rien du tout, l'oubli C'est comme la vie
Je revois vaguement un studio mal meublé Mais qui pourrait me dire la couleur du papier? Y'avait sûrement un lit, puisqu'on s'est aimé Tellement bu, tellement fumé
L'oubli ça tient à qui? Une inconnue qui passe Qui s'égare une nuit Au fond de mon impasse L'oubli ça tient à rien du tout Mais pas à nous
Une fugue en Normandie, pour arroser le beau temps Un retour à Paris, je n'sais plus trop comment Sauf la vague impression que c'était foutu Tellement fumé, tellement bu
Qu'est-ce que je suis con d'avoir déchiré sa photo J'aimerais bien la revoir, j'ai plus son numéro De toute façon je n'sais plus téléphoner Tellement bu, tellement fumé
My Little Town Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel and various other artists
In my little town I grew up believ--ing God keeps His eye on us all And He used to lean upon me As I pledged allegiance to the wall Lord I recall My little town
Coming home after school Flying my bike past the gates Of the factories My mom doing the laundry Hanging our shirts In the dirty breeze
And after it rains There's a rainbow And all of the colors are black It's not that the colors aren't there It's just imagin-ation they lack
Everything's the same Back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town
In my little town I never meant nothin' I was just my fathers son Saving my money Dreaming of glory Twitching like a finger On the trigger of a gun
Leaving nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town
Got You On My Mind Composer(s): Howard Biggs; Joe "Cornbread" Thomas Performer(s): Eric Clapton; and various other artists
I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same
No matter how I try My heart just don't see why I can't forget you If ever it should be You want to come back to me You know I'd let you
I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
Chorus
I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
Tell Your Story (Sing Your Song) Composer(s): Chris Farlowe Performer(s): Atomic Rooster
Tell your story, sing your song Can't you see I'm flying Through the mountains, to the sun Catch the daylight dying Tell your story, sing your song Fortune's wheel is turning Time will pass, and you'll be gone Teach the life you're learning
Tell your story, sing your song Catch me quick, I'm leaving Silver sunflower trapped in space In the web I'm weaving Tell your story, sing your song Breaking through confusion Cut the knot of lights we've lit Life is an illusion
Tell your story, sing your song Can't you see I'm flying Through the mountains, to the sun Catch the daylight dying Tell your story, sing your song Fortune's wheel is turning Time will pass, and you'll be gone Teach the life you're learning
Tell your story, sing your song Catch me quick, I'm leaving Silver sunflower trapped in space In the web I'm weaving Tell your story, sing your song Breaking through confusion Cut the knot of lights we've lit Life is an illusion...
My Little Red Book Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Originally performed by: Manfred Mann Covered by various other artists
I just got out my little red book The minute that you said goodbye I thumbed right through my little red book I wasn't gonna sit and cry And I went from A to Z I took out every pretty girl in town They danced with me and as I held them
All I did was talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you... oh, no...
There ain't no girl in my little red book Who could ever replace your charms And each girl in my little red book Knows you're the one I'm thinkin' of Oh won't you please come back Without your precious love I can't go on Where can love be I need you so much
All I did was talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you... oh, no...
Oh won't you please come back Without your precious love I can't go on It's haunting me I need you so much
All I did was talk and talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you All I did was talk and talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you... oh no
Got To Go Back Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison
When I was a young boy Back in Orangefield I used to gaze out My classroom window and dream And then go home and listen to Ray sing "I believe to my soul" after school Oh that love that was within me You know it carried me through Well it lifted me up and it filled me Meditation contemplation too
Chorus: Oh we've got to go back Got to go back Got to go back Got to go back For the healing go on with the dreaming
Well there's people in the street And the summer's almost here We've got to go outside in the fresh air And breathe while it's still clear Breathe it in all the way down To your stomach too And breathe it out with a radiance into the nightime air
We've got to go back etc. etc...
Got my ticket at the airport Well I guess I've been marking time I've been living in another country That operates along entirely different lines Keep me away from porter or whiskey Don't play anything sentimental it'll make me cry I've got to go back my friend Is there really any need to ask why

My Little Persian Rose Composer(s): Edgar Allan Woolf; Anatol Friedland Performer(s): Peerless Quartet
I've seen flowers rare growing everywhere but I've never seen a rose like you From your haunt if I could tear you right up on my heart I'd wear you and no one could ever share you, I would be so true But roses are like love and they fade as fast with all the storms that blow; love can't ever last I'll shield you from all harms I'm mad about your charms I'll hold you in my arms till all dangers passed
When the fall draws near and the world looks drear and the roses start to droop and fade I will wrap you completely in my loving arms so neatly that you'll keep on blooming sweetly so don't be afraid when winter comes along with its frost and snows and an icy blanket then over the world it throws Little "Bride-Rose" have no fear, for the spring will then be near to bring us rosebuds, dear little Persian Rose
My little Persian Rose, nobody knows how I love you Oh pretty flower, here in your bower, with love I'll shower you every hour a garden just for two I'm sure will do for me and you, Dearie I'm wild about you, can't live without you, my little Persian Rose

I used to go out to parties And stand around 'Cause I was too nervous To really get down And my body yearned to be free So I got up on the floor and found Someone to choose me No more standin' along the side walls Now I've got myself together, baby And I'm havin' a ball Long as you prove it There's always a chance Somebody watches I'm gonna make romance With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night Get down and prove it, feel all right Keep on dancin' Got to give it up
Tell My Sister Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle
Weather man on the radio threatens rain maybe snow He just forecasts he don't know I need blue skies I've got to go
I'm not a cowboy, I've never been shot I'm not a convict I've never been caught Tell my sister To tell my mother I'm coming home Home alone
Sunday morning I boarded a plane Leaving London England In the pouring rain Tell my sister To tell my mother I'm coming home Home alone
Someday I'll be back again To that green and pleasant land Between the Channel and the sea Across the ocean, that's where I want to be
But until the, tie me to the ground I've got to let these weary bones rest From all that runnin' around Tell my sister To tell my mother I'm coming home Home alone

Got to get you off of my mind I know it's just a matter of time You've found somebody new And our romance is through Yes it is
Gonna throw your picture away You didn't want my love, any old way You've found somebody new And our romance is through Yes it is
Some folks love is hard and strong That's the kind of love that lingers on Some folks love is swift and fast That's the kind of love that'll never last
We had a love that was in between And to me it was like a dream If we had stayed together till June Not a problem, bride and groom
That's why Got to get you off of my mind I know it's just a matter of time You've found somebody new And our romance is through Listen to me
Got to get you off of my mind I know it's just a matter of time Got to get you off of my mind I know it's just a matter of time
A Media Luz ((English Version: Tell Me, Marianne (Victor Sylvester & His Ballroom Orch.)) Composer(s): Carlos Cesar Lenzl - Edgardo Donato - E. Lengui Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; Julio Iglesias
Corrientes tres cuatro ocho, segundo piso, ascensor No hay porteros ni vecinos, adentro cocktel de amor
Pisito que puso Maple, piano, estera y velador Un telefón que contesta, una fonola que llora Viejos tangos de mi flor y un gato de porcelana pa que No maulle el amor
Y todo a media luz, que es un brujo el amor A media luz los besos, a media luz los dos Y todo a media luz, crepúsculo interior Que suave terciopelo la media luz de amor
Juncal doce venticuatro, telefonea sin temor De tarde té con masitas, de noche tango y amor Los domingos té danzante, los lunes desolación
Hay de todo en la casita, almohadones y divanes como en botica Coco, alfombras que no hacen ruido y mesa puesta al amor...
My Little Lady Composer(s): Blakley; Hawkes; Pace; Panzeri; Pilat Performer(s): The Tremeloes
I think about my baby a perfect little lady I think about her shiny golden hair I've never been a dreamer but every time I see her I start to float away into the air Oh, oh, my little lady
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine and if you could have your way every day would be fine It's no wonder for as long as I may live I will give you all the love I am able to give
I wake up in the morning without a single warning before I finish yawning she is there I think about my baby a perfect little lady I think about her shiny golden hair Oh, oh, my little lady
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine and if you could have your way every day would be fine It's no wonder for as long as I may live I will give you all the love I am able to give
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine and if you could have your way every day would be fine It's no wonder for as long as I may live I will give you all the love I am able to give
La la la la la ...
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine and if you could have your way every day would be fine It's no wonder for as long as I may live I will give you all the love I am able to give
My Little Inspiration French Title: Ma Petite Muse Composer(s): Jeanine Deckers Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (aka The Singing Nun)
My little inspiration is You oh Lord Your happiness melts in my heart My little inspiration is You oh Lord You fill me with happiness The meadows all offer me a thousand flowers All the Clairs de Lunes have heart shaped lips The city streets all smile at the sun All of man's joys are the color of heaven The stars all wink their eyes at me The rainy days have all stopped mourning All the evenings fall asleep to the lullaby of the birches All the mornings drink of Your May wine

Don't you know what's wrong with me? I'm seeing things I don't want to see Sniffing things that ain't no good for me I'm going down fast, won't you say a prayer for me?
It's got to get better in a little while It's got to get better in a little while It's got to get better in a little while It's got to get better in a little while
The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday
Revolution all across the land Just like Sly, you got to take a stand Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down Give them a helping hand to get off the ground
Chorus
The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday
Still one thing that you can do Fall down on your knees and pray I know the Lord's gonna answer you Don't do it tomorrow, do it today
