The Galaxy Song Composer(s): Eric Idle - John Du Prez Performer(s): Monty Python and multiple other artists
Whenever life get you down, Mrs. Brown And things seem hard or tough And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff!
Just - re-member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned the sun that is the source of all our power The Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see are moving at a million miles a day In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars it's 100,000 light-years side-to-side It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick but out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point we go round every 200 million years And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding in all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure how amazingly unlikely is your birth And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space because there's bugger all down here on Earth
Ce Qui Ne Va Pas Chez Toi
Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadianmandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
J' suis politiquement correct J'appartiens à aucune secte Je fais pas d' vague
T'es toujours prête à militer Pour toutes les causes désespérées Pour tes états d'âme
Tu n'peux pas prendr' tout' la misère du monde A toi tout' seule, pour ton compte T'as pas le cur assez grand pour gérer tout ça
Mais c' qui ne va pas chez toi, c'est moi Car c'est où et quand tu veux sans moi J' peux pas t' suivre dans tout' tes idées Et sauver le monde entier Non, c' qui n' va pas chez toi, c'est moi Car c'est où et quand tu veux sans moi Tu trouves égoïste de penser À d'abord nous sauver
J'aimerais être "extraordinaire" Être un seigneur de la guerre Pour l'arrêter
Mais j'suis qu'un homme ordinaire J'fais c' que j' peux sur cette Terre Je n' fais que passer
Ne plus penser aux chiens abandonnés Ne plus faire d' la charité Un ch'min d' croix, un business, qui te montr' du doigt
Mais c' qui ne va pas chez toi, c'est moi Car c'est où et quand tu veux sans moi J' peux pas t' suivre dans tout' tes idées Et sauver le monde entier Non, c' qui n' va pas chez toi, c'est moi Car c'est où et quand tu veux sans moi Tu trouves égoïste de penser À d'abord nous sauver
For The First Time Composer(s): Allan Dennis Rich; Jud Friedman; James Newton Howard Performer(s): Kenny Loggins; and various other artists
Are those your eyes, is that your smile I've been lookin at you forever But I never saw you before Are these your hands holdin' mine Now I wonder how I could've been so blind For the first time I am looking in your eyes For the first time I'm seein' who you are I can't believe how much I see When you're lookin back at me Now I understand what love is....... Love is.....for the first time..... Can this be real, can this be true Am I the person I was this morning And are you the same you It's all so strange how can it be All along this love was right in front of me For the first time I am looking in your eyes For the first time I'm seein' who you are I can't believe how much I see When you're lookin back at me Now I understand what love is....... Love is.....for the first time..... Such a long time ago I had given up on findin' this emotion....ever again But you're here with me now Yes I've found you somehow And I've never been so sure And for the first time I am looking in your eyes For the first time I'm seein' who you are Can't believe how much I see When you're lookin back at me Now I understand what love is....... Love is.....for the first time.....

Ce Que Tu As Fais De Moi Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Il y avait en moi quelque part de la tendresse Il y avait en moi peut-être de l'amour Non, je n'étais pas ce que tu as fais de moi Cet homme inconnu qu'aujourd'hui je ne connais plus
Il y avait en moi autre chose que la haine Que ce cur de pierre mort pour un je t'aime Non je n'étais pas ce que tu as fais de moi L'ombre sans lumière et l'arbre sans terre que voilà
Mais il y avait tes yeux Il y avait ton corps Et je me noyais en toi Jusqu'à tomber mort Au champ d'amour dans tes bras Mais il y avait tes reins Il y avait tes seins Et il y avait ma folie Je n'avais plus rien à perdre que ma vie
Il n'y a plus en toi rien qui ressemble à l'amour Et ton vrai visage se cache toujours Sous le maquillage des mensonges de ta vie Et tes seules larmes n'étaient que des gouttes de pluie
Mais il y avait tes yeux Il y avait ton corps Et je me noyais en toi Jusqu'à tomber mort Au champ d'amour dans tes bras Mais il y avait tes reins Il y avait tes seins Et il y avait ma folie Je n'avais plus rien à perdre que ma vie
Je n'avais plus rien à perdre que ma vie
Mais il y avait tes yeux Il y avait ton corps Et je me noyais en toi Jusqu'à tomber mort Au champ d'amour dans tes bras Mais il y avait tes reins Il y avait tes seins Et il y avait ma folie Je n'avais plus rien à perdre que ma vie

Cool in you, cool in This for the chill in you Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool This for you cool in you Cool in you, cool in This for the chill in you Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
Looking on back at all the changes That I put you through Any other girl in your position Sho-nuff would've been through Thinkin' about how you made it easy Always there for me Never once did you turn your back and leave
For every tear you've cried, I've cried a thousand times Never once did I want you to hurt inside I wanna thank you for the chill in you Especially for you being so cool This is for the cool in you
For every tear you've cried, I've cried a thousand times Never once did I want you to hurt inside I wanna thank you for the chill in you Especially for you being so cool This is for the cool in you

Ce Que Je Sais
Composer(s): Didier Golemanas - Pascal Obispo
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Ce que je sais, c'est que je suis là Ce que j'en sais, c'est que j'en suis là Je crois ce que j'ai vu je sais ce que je dois savoir Et c'est la seule rue qui mène quelque part Ce que j'étais, c'était avant toi Je sais où j'étais, j'y étais sans toi Et viva Zapatta qu'on criait sur les toits Comme à chaque fois, chaque fois qu'on y croit
Si je m'en sors moins mort que vivant Et si je sens mieux le feu, le feu et le sang C'est que jamais, oh jamais non personne N'a su pour moi ce que je sais ce que je sens Non jamais non personne n'a su pour moi Ce que je sais ce que je ressens Ça je le sais, oh je le sais maintenant
Ce que j'ai fait, je l'ai fait pour toi Ce que j'en ai fait, ça ne t'en fait pas Je tire un trait et on se barre Sur le seul freeway qui mène quelque part
Si je m'en sors moins mort que vivant Et si je sens mieux le feu, le feu et le sang C'est que jamais, oh jamais non personne N'a su pour moi ce que je sais ce que je sens Non jamais non personne n'a su pour moi Ce que je sais ce que je ressens Ça je le sais, oh je le sais maintenant
Ça je le sais, oh je le sais maintenant Mais jamais non personne Non n'a su pour moi Ce que je sais, ce que je ressens Ça je le sais, je le sais maintenant
Ce P'tit Air Là
Composer(s): Étienne Lorin - Pierrette Bruno
Performer(s): André Bourvil
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Aimez-vous ce p'tit air là C'est un air qui chante en moi Depuis que vous êtes là La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Il est bien ce p'tit air là Vos grands yeux si malicieux En ont fait un air joyeux
Quand il apperçoit vos dents Mon p'tit air devient gourmand Pour mieux encore l'inspirer Il faudra tout lui montrer
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Quel coquin ce p'tit air là Il est fou de tout c'qu'il voit Et bien plus de c'qu'il n'voit pas
Je fais mon malin comme ça Mais quand je vous imagine dans mes bras Je sens déjà mon coeur qui bat Qui bat, qui bat, qui bat
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Mon p'tit air sera béa Si jamais vous dévoilez Tous vos charmes les plus secrets Là mon petit air se taira L'émotion ça coupe la voix Il est vrai qu'dans ces cas là C'est bien mieux quand on n'parle pas
Et si nous pleurons de joie Nous saurons très bien pourquoi C'est parc'que tout simplement Nous nous aimerons vraiment
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Mon p'tit air rechantera Pour montrer aux gens curieux Qu'on est bien heureux nous deux Qu'on est bien heureux nous deux
For Once In Our Lives Composer(s): Paul Carrack; Chris Difford Performer(s): Paul Carrack
Since this morning Ive been thinking how Things have changed between the two of us Weve been falling through the here and now Its time for us to reinvest our trust
Cant you see for once in our lives Now our love has finally come to ground This flame we have is burning so bright Burning for ever, now were back together
Since this morning Ive been asking why Why we let this sweet love slip away When we knew love, was for you and I The reason we could face the darkest days
Cant we see for once in our lives All the things we wanted have appeared Now that we have love realised Realised forever
For once in our lives theres no turning back No running away and no covering our tracks For once in our lives theres no one to blame No broken hearts cause weve found love again For once, for once in our lives
Since this morning Ive been so relieved Theres no more pressure from within I had this sense that you would get to see There was no lasting love in him
For once in our lives theres no turning back
Maybe we cant believe, how things can be so wrong Maybe its time that we learn To reach out for the feeling of love
I'm a little merry frog And I am another That old lady on the log She's our darling mother Father had his legs cut off And the Frenchmen ate them Naughty wicked cannibals! How we froggies hate them! Knee deep, Knee deep Nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep We're a pair of happy froggies Singing in the ponds and boggies Knee deep, Knee deep Nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep
When we see a naughty boy, in we go, kah-chung Good Saint Patrick, so they say Kicked us out of Erin But we're mighty glad to stay In the land that we're in If the naughty boys would be And quit their naughty throwin' There's one now-- Good gracious me! We had best be goin'! Knee deep, knee deep Beh-dah-dee, beh-dah-dee Beh-dah-dee, beh-dah-dee
We're a pair of happy froggies Singing in the ponds and boggies Knee deep, Knee deep Nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep When we see a naughty boy, in we go, kah-choo We once had a brother too Cute and cunnin' feller He was spotted green and blue And a muddy yeller Every night he'd serenade And the air he'd fill it A Frenchman ended his career Put him in a skillet Knee deep, knee deep Beh-dah-dee, beh-dah-dee Beh-dah-dee, beh-dah-dee
We're a pair of happy froggies Singing in the ponds and boggie Knee deep, Knee deep Nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep When we see a naughty boy In we go, Kah-chook And we had a cute sister Her legs were so pretty Then one day why we missed her Wasn't it a pity Cannibals came out our way Blinded little sister And they stuck some thing in her That was when we missed her Knee deep, Knee deep, Knee deep Nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep nee-deep
For Once In My Life Composer(s): Ronald Norman Miller; Orlando Murden Performer(s): Tony Bennett; and various other artists
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me Someone I've needed so long For once unafraid I can go where life leads me And somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Someone warm like you Could make my dreams come true For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before For once I've got someone I know won't desert me And I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it" As long as I've got love I know I can make it For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

Ce Petit Chemin
Composer(s): Mireille Darc - Jean Franc Nohain
Performer(s): Mireille Darc
and multiple other artists
Pour aller à la Préfecture Prends la route numéro trois Tu suis la file des voitures Et tu t'en vas tout droit, tout droit... C'est un billard, c'est une piste Pas un arbre, pas une fleur Comme c'est beau, comme c'est triste Tu feras du cent trente à l'heure Mais moi, ces routes goudronnées Toutes ces routes Me dégoûtent Si vous m'aimez, venez, venez Venez chanter, venez flâner Et nous prendrons un raccourci Le petit chemin que voici...
Ce petit chemin... qui sent la noisette Ce petit chemin... n'a ni queue ni tête On le voit Qui fait trois Petits tours dans les bois Puis il part Au hasard En flânant comme un lézard C'est le rendez-vous de tous les insectes Les oiseaux pour nous, y donnent leur fêtes Les lapins nous invitent Souris-moi, courons vite Ne crains rien, Prends ma main Dans ce petit chemin! Les routes départementales Où les vieux cantonniers sont rois Ont l'air de ces horizontales Qui m'ont toujours rempli d'effroi... Et leurs poteaux télégraphiques Font un ombrage insuffisant Pour les idylles poétiques Et pour les rêves reposants... A bas les routes rabattues Les tas de pierres, La poussière Et l'herbe jaune des talus... Les cantonniers, il n'en faut plus! ... Nous avons pris un raccourci Le petit chemin que voici...
Ce petit chemin... qui sent la noisette Ce petit chemin... m'a tourné la tête J'ai posé Trois baisers Sur tes cheveux frisés... Et puis sur Ta figure Toutes barbouillée de mûres... Pour nous observer, des milliers d'insectes Se sont installés par dessus nos têtes Mais un lièvre au passage Nous a dit "Soyez sages!" Ne crains rien Prends ma main Dans ce petit chemin!
For Ol' Times Sake Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Mitchell John; Tony Joe White
Before you go walk out on me Take a look around tell me what you see Here I stand like an open book Is there something here you might have overlooked 'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be
The years we had were not all bad In fact I know the good outweighed the bad Now you say that you've grown tired You want to be by yourself a while It would be a shame if you should go And find that freedom was a long, long time ago
I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you They just keep on drivin' us apart You could go where I could never find you But could you go far enough to get away from your heart
So one more time, for ol' times sake Come and lay your head upon my chest Please don't throw this moment away We can forget the bad and take the best If you don't have nothing left to say Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
If you don't have nothing left to say Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
The Freshman Year Composer(s): Ken Albers - Bill Cormstock Performer(s): The Four Freshmen
Autumn, hayrides, winter sleighrides in the snow Every moment's a souvenir of our wonderful freshman year Springtime dances, new romances come and go And each memory brings a tear for our wonderful freshman year Tho graduation day will pass and friends may drift apart The warm and happy freshman year will live within my heart We'll remember each September And you know all the days were so sweet and dear in our wonderful freshman year We'll remember one September that set our hearts aglow All the days were so sweet and dear in our wonderful freshman year
Ce N'est Rien Que Du Vent
Composer(s): Joe Dassin - Pierre Delanoë - Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
De l'alcool et du brouillard J'en ai plein la tête Et dans la lumière noire Je me vois danser
Ce n'est rien, ce n'est que du vent Ce n'est rien, ce n'est que le vent qui fait rêver Je t'ai trouvée au hasard, je te serre très fort Mais ce n'est rien que du vent, que du vent Je me sens bien contre toi, on n'a rien dit encore Mais ce n'est rien que du vent, que du vent
Je ne sais rien de ta vie Mais ta peau est douce Tu ne sais rien de celui Qui te fait danser
Ce n'est rien, ce n'est que du vent Ce n'est rien, ce n'est que le vent qui fait rêver Quelques regards, un sourire, et on s'est embrassé Mais ce n'est rien que du vent, que du vent On va s'asseoir, on va boire, pas besoin de penser Mais ce n'est rien que du vent, que du vent
Ce n'est rien, ce n'est que du vent Ce n'est rien, ce n'est que le vent qui fait rêver On va partir tous les deux pour un restant de nuit Mais ce n'est rien que du vent, que du vent Si ce n'est pas de l'amour, c'est quand même joli Mais ce n'est rien que du vent, que du vent
