The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion) Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Bill Kreutzmann - Philip Lesh - Ron McKernan - Bob Weir First release by: The Grateful Dead - 1967
See that girl barefooting along Whistling and singing, she's a-carrying on Got laughing in her eyes Dancing in her feet She's a neon diamond She can live on the street
Hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party Every day Hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party every day
Well, everybody's dancing in a ring around the sun Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun So take off your shoes, child And take off your hat Try on your wings And find out where it's at
Hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party Every day Hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party every day
Take a vacation, fall out for a while Summer's coming in and it's going out in style Well, lie down smoking, honey Have yourself a ball 'Cause your mother's down in Memphis Won't be back till the fall
Hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party Every day Hey, hey, come right away Come and join the party every day
Cent Ans De Plus Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Cent ans dans la peau de l'esclave Et juste après cent ans de plus Chercher des miettes sous les tables Avant que les blancs ne marchent dessus Dormir sur des paquets de planches Chanter seulement le dimanche Tu vois la femme noire Dans le rôle de la bonne Avec tout à côté Tout tordu son bonhomme Après ça faut pas que tu t'étonnes
C'est Eux qui ont fait Eux qui ont fait Son House et Charlie Patton Howlin' Wolf et Blind Lemon
Bien rouge le sang de l'Afrique Sur la jolie fleur du coton La toute nouvelle Amérique La belle démocratie "Welcome" Bateaux déportant les villages Au bout de l'immense voyage Gravé dans la mémoire Pour des années-lumière Chaque larme d'ivoire Chaque collier de fer Après ça faut pas que tu t'étonnes
C'est Eux qui ont fait Eux qui ont fait Son House et Charlie Patton Howlin' Wolf et Blind Lemon
Toujours plaire aux marchands de fantômes Elle qu'on achète et lui que l'on donne Naître avec la peine maximum Toujours vivant dans ce que nous sommes Peuple interdit du reste des hommes Cherchant le bleu de l'ancien royaume Eux qui ont fait faut pas que ça t'étonne

Cenizas Composer(s): Wello Rivas Performer(s): Javier Solís
Después de tanto soportar la pena de sentir tu olvido después que todo te lo dio mi pobre corazón herido has vuelto a verme para que yo sepa de tu desventura por la amargura de un amor igual al que me diste tú
Ya no podré ni perdonar ni darte lo que tú me diste has de saber que de un cariño muerto no existe rencor y si pretendes remover las ruinas que tú mismo hiciste sólo cenizas hallarás de todo lo que fue mi amor

Cemento Armato
Composer(s): Aldo Tagliapietra - Antonio Pagliuca
Performer(s): Le Orme
Cemento armato la grande città senti la vita che se ne va vicino a casa non si respira è sempre buio ci si dispera Ci son più sirene nell'aria che canti di usignoli E meglio fuggire e non tornare più
Dolce risveglio il sole è con me Nell'aria le note di una chitarra la casa è lontana, gli amici di ieri è tutto svanito , non li ricordo più
Cemento armato la grande città senti la vita che se ne va

Second verse
Forever man, forever man, forever man Forever man, forever man, forever man Try to be your forever man
Forever man, forever man, forever man Forever man, forever man, forever man Try to be your forever man
The Gnu Song Composer(s): Michael Flanders - Donald Swann Performer(s): Flanders & Swann; John Lithgow
A year ago, last Thursday I was strolling in the zoo when I met a man who though he knew the lot He was laying down the law about the habits of baboons And how many spines a porcupine has got So I asked him "What's that creature there?" He answered, "Oh, it's a h'Elk" I might of gone on thinking that was true If the animal in question hadn't put that chap to shame And remarked, "I h'aint a h'Elk, I'm a Gnu"
"I'm a Gnu I'm a Gnu The g-nicest work of g-nature in the zoo I'm a Gnu How do you do You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho's I'm a Gnu Spelt G-n-u I'm g-not a Camel or a Kangaroo So let me introduce I'm g-neither man or moose Oh g-no g-no g-no I'm a Gnu"
I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington-on-Sea Whence I travelled on to Ashton-under-Lyne it was actually And the second night I stayed there I was woken from a dream That I'll tell you all about some other time Among the hunting trophies on the wall above my bed Stuffed and mounted, was a face I thought I knew A Bison? No, it's not a Bison. An Okapi? Unlikely Really A Hartebeest? When I though I heard a voice...
"I'm a Gnu I'm a Gnu A g-nother gnu I wish I could g-nash my teeth at you I'm a Gnu How do you do You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho's I'm a Gnu Spelt G-n-u Call me Bison or Okapi and I'll sue G-nor am I the least like that dreadful Hartebeest Oh, g-no, g-no, g-no G-no g-no g-no, I'm a Gnu G-no g-no g-no, I'm a Gnu"

The Gnome Composer(s): Syd Barrett First release by: Pink Floyd - 1967
I want to tell you a story 'Bout a little man If I can A gnome named Grimble Gromble And little gnomes stay in their homes Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine
He wore a scarlet tunic A blue-green hood, it looked quite good He had a big adventure Amidst the grass, fresh air at last Wining, dining, biding his time
And then one day Hooray, another way for gnomes to say Oooh, my...
Look at the sky Look at the river Isn't it good? Look at the sky Look at the river Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go
And then one day Hooray, another way for gnomes to say Oooh, my... Oooh, my...
Taka Takata (La Femme Du Toréro) Composer(s): Claude Lemesle Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Taka takata kata kata kata J'entends mon cur qui bat Taka takata kata kata kata Au rythme de ses pas
La sangria coulait À la feria de Tolède La fille qui dansait M'était montée à la tête Quand un banderillo Me dit "l'ami, reste calme Prends garde au torero Si tu regardes sa femme" Mais elle s'avance vers moi Et laisse tomber sa rose Avec un billet qui propose Un rendez-vous à l'hacienda
On s'était enlacés sous l'oranger Mais la dueña dont c'était le métier Criait "vengeance, aux arènes!" Le matador trompé Surgit de l'ombre et s'avance Moi, sur mon oranger J'essaie de faire l'orange
Taka takata kata kata kata J'entends mon cur qui bat Taka takata kata kata kata Au rythme de ses pas
"L'homme, tu vas payer" Dit-il, "voici l'estocade Mes picadors sont prêts Et mon il noir te regarde" Et c'est depuis ce jour Qu'un toréro me condamme A balayer sa cour Pour l'avoir faite à sa femme
Taka takata kata kata kata J'entends mon cur qui bat Taka takata kata kata kata Au rythme de ses pas
Forever For You Composer(s): Paul Barry; John Oates; Mark Taylor; Steve Torch Performer(s): Darryl Hall & John Oates
Does anyone know what love can cost It'll take you so high then leave you lost Is it a mystery that runs too deep for such a simple heart Can anyone stop the hands of time and put back the loving in your eyes Though it's his name I hear when you are sleeping I'll pretend it's mine
(chorus)
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you If the road to my heart will always stay true I'll say forever I'll say forever for you When they ask will I stand right there beside you and they don't see you and me the way that I do I'll say forever I'll say forever for you
A rose is a rose by any name but a thorn will still cut you just the same I'm losing your love I know so sad the feeling I can tell somebody's stealing Stealing away your heart
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you If the road to my heart will always stay true I'll say forever I'll say forever for you When they ask will I stand right there beside you and they don't see you and me the way that I do I'll say forever I'll say forever for you
I don't know if I should tell you how you live in my heart There's no room for another If you leave me now my heart would not recover
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you If the road to my heart will always stay true I'll say forever I'll say forever for you When they ask will I stand right there beside you and they don't see you and me the way that I do I'll say forever I'll say forever for you

Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer Lead us lest too far we wander Love's sweet voice is calling yonder Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer Hey, there don't get dimmer, dimmer Light the path below, above And lead us on to love!
Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire Glow like an incandescent wire Glow for the female of the species Turn on the AC and the DC This night could use a little brightnin' Light up you little ol' bug of lightnin' When you gotta glow, you gotta glow Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow and glimmer Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer Thou aeronautical boll weevil Illuminate yon woods primeval See how the shadows deep and darken You and your chick should get to sparkin' I got a gal that I love so Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, turn the key on You are equipped with taillight neon You got a cute vest-pocket *Mazda* Which you can make both slow and *fazda* I don't know who you took a shine to Or who you're out to make a sign to I got a gal that I love so Glow little glow-worm, glow Glow little glow-worm, glow Glow little glow-worm, glow Glow little glow-worm, glow!!
Celui Qui Ne Savait Pas Pleurer
Composer(s): Henri Contet - Jean-Claude Normant
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
C'est l'histoire d'un type moyen Qui n'avait jamais pu pleurer Il en avait pas les moyens Pourtant, il aurait bien aimé Car de pleurer, ça vous soulage Et ça vous met du baume dans l'cur Mais lui, il avait passé l'âge D'apprendre le chagrin par cur Il essayait de se concentrer Pour s'émouvoir à l'improviste Mais non : il savait pas pleurer Et c'est ça qui le rendait triste Pour se payer ce petit instant Où l'on est vraiment malheureux Y s'fabriquait des embêtements Inventait des ennuis sérieux Et pour ça, il savait s'y prendre À en juger par son passé Il avait même tenté de se pendre Preuve qu'il aimait pas rigoler Quand s'présentait un beau malheur Tout de suite il lui faisait du charme Mais il avait beau s'crever l'cur Il pouvait pas trouver une larme Ça lui a passé subitement Rencontrant près d'une fontaine Où se débarbouillait l'printemps Une gosse qui avait de la peine Dans son petit tablier de toile Elle pleurait comme une enfant Il a vu ses yeux pleins d'étoiles Alors il en a fait autant Un type comme ça, c'est pas commun Car il était pas comme nous autres Puisque, pour qu'il ait du chagrin Il lui fallait l'chagrin des autres La gosse était toute seule au monde Tout' seule le jour, tout' seule la nuit Et puis surtout, elle était blonde Alors il l'a prise avec lui Il est content puisque c'est elle Qui lui a appris à pleurer Mais la leçon était trop belle La fille aussi... tout a raté Il est devenu bien malheureux Trompé plus qu'il ne le mérite Et tous les jours, il pleure un peu Maintenant qu'il sait, il en profite
Forever Faithful Composer(s): Robert Bateman; J. Wicker Performer(s): Florence Ballard
Memories of the love we had are still a part of me I pushed your love away and knew that one day I would yearn for your return
Chorus: Forever Faithful, yes I am I guess my love will live for you Just wishin' and hopin' for your return
Now I'm all alone, it hurts to be alone Won't you please come see about me? This time I'll do right, need you to hold me tight Darling, you, you control my destiny Oh oh oh
(chorus)
On and on, deep down inside, I have no one but myself to blame I have but one wish, that you return, conquer the love that remains Oh oh oh
