    The Saints Are Coming
    Composer(s): Stuart Adamson - Richard Jobson
    First release by: The Skids - 1979



    I cried to my daddy on the telephone
    how long now
    Until the clouds unroll and you come home
    the line went
    But the shadows still remain since your descent
    your descent

    The saints are coming, the saints are coming
    No matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
    The saints are coming, the saints are coming

    A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
    How long now
    Until a weather change condemns belief
    The stone says
    This paternal guide once had his day
    Once had his day

    The saints are coming, the saints are coming
    No matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
    The saints are coming, the saints are coming

    Clouds And Rain
    Composer(s): Ian Gillan; Roger Glover
    Performer(s): Ian Gillan & Roger Glover



    The time is always now
    the call is always loud
    without a movement a word, without a sound
    love comes crashing in again
    brings along the clouds and rain

    You've got to take a chance you haven't got a choice
    somewhere in the rain you hear a distant voice
    love has to come to stake its claim it's
    when you reach the clouds and rain

    If I close my eyes I can picture you
    this is the place I get the clearest view
    beyond the happiness and pain
    this place they call the clouds and rain

    First you become a lover then you become a friend
    and then you start to wonder will it ever end
    I'd like to ask you just the same
    without feeling any shame
    did you touch the clouds and rain

    I'd like to ask you just the same
    without feeling any shame
    did you touch the clouds and rain

    Reviens, Je T'Aime
    English Title: Midnight
    Composer(s): Bouwens; Claude Carrère; Ibach
    Performer(s): Sheila



    En ce temps là nous n'avions pas grand-chose
    Mais nous aimions ici nous retrouver
    Ce soir sans toi je me sens l'âme triste
    Ta place est vide et le monde a changé

    {Refrain:}
    Reviens, je t'aime
    Tu ne peux pas me laisser toute seule
    Tu ne peux pas me laisser souffrir comme ça
    Reviens, je t'aime
    Tu ne peux pas d'un seul coup briser tout
    Après tant de jours et d'amour entre nous
    la la la ........

    Tu m'as quitté comme un homme en colère
    Et par fierté je t'ai laissé partir
    Mais je voudrais du fond de ma détresse
    Trouver les mots pour te faire revenir
    {au Refrain, 2x}

    Reviens, je t'aime
    Reviens, je t'aime

    The Sailor's Polka
    Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David
    Performer(s): Dean Martin



    Come on and play the sailors' polka
    Make way for Navy blue
    Oh, how the girls all love to polka
    With a sailor who's tried and true

    Where there is music and there's moonlight
    The Navy knows what to do
    So, come on and play the sailors' polka
    Make way for Navy blue

    (Oh, the band will start in playin')
    (When the fleet comes sailin' in)
    (There'll be hip, hip, hip, hoorayin')
    (And the good times will begin)

    There'll be gobs and gobs of misses
    Who'll be waitin' on the shore
    With gobs and gobs of kisses
    (Bass Singer: For the gobs that they adore)

    (Long before they drop anchor)
    (You will hear the music start)
    (Ev'ry pretty girl will hanker)
    (To win a sailor's heart)

    Yeah, the band will start in playin'
    And the dancing will begin
    When the fleet comes sailin' in

    Duet With Dean & Chorus:
    Come on and play the sailors' polka
    (Oh, the band will start in playin' when the fleet comes sailing in)
    Make way for Navy blue
    (There'll be hip, hip, hip, hoorayin' and the good times will begin)
    Oh, how the girls all love to polka

    Clouds (That Pass In The Night)
    Composer(s): Lee David



    When the world is sleeping, and the night is still
    And the moon is creeping slowly above the hill
    Clouds float by and kiss her
    O! What a wond'rous thrill!
    When the clouds are passing in the night, I dream of you
    When the clouds enveil the silv'ry light I dream of you
    But the clouds that pass me in the day
    Hide the sunshine, make the skies look gray
    How I wish and long and wait till they roll by, roll by
    Oft when nights are lonely and I walk the road
    Thinking of you only
    Sweet thoughts of love bestowed
    Ah! my moon is pris'ner
    By fleeting clouds she's towed
    When the clouds are passing in the night, I dream of you
    When the clouds enveil the silv'ry light I dream of you
    But the clouds that pass me in the day
    Hide the sunshine, make the skies look gray
    How I wish and long and wait till they roll by, roll by
    Clouds

    Si tu avais des regrets
    Qui sait, un jour, de m'avoir quitté
    Oh ! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
    Reviens donc chez nous, oh oui

    Bien sûr, j'ai ris
    Mais je sais
    Je sais le mal que ton départ m'a fait
    Oh! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
    Ah, reviens donc chez nous

    Je le sais bien, j'étais fou
    La vie sans toi
    Ce n'est plus rien du tout
    Oh! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
    Reviens donc chez nous

    Il n'y a rien, oh non, d'assez beau
    À te donner
    Si tu reviens bientôt
    Oh! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
    Reviens donc chez nous

    Si tu avais des regrets
    Qui sait, un jour, de m'avoir quitté
    Oh! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
    Reviens donc chez nous

    Allez reviens!

    The Sailor's Hornpipe
    Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall
    Performer(s): Vivian Stanshall



    The hallway

    From outside, an ordinary house
    A great house, true - four hundred and eighty three rooms
    each one with its own marble wash basin and douche, bidet as it may
    But inside, and the positions are reversed
    A human failing, some say a disease
    but a disease that Sir Francis Dashwood knew, and knew it well

    Upstairs, inside and a revelation
    It's a discotheque
    No, no, uh... there are paintings, real
    and look here - a rare seventeenth century masterpiece
    and if I can scrape a little of it off
    beneath I can find hidden a fourteenth century underpiece

    Made entirely of tiny pieces of eggshells
    this lurid work has caused controversy in the world of embroidery and anthropologicky
    No, I'll say it again, anthropolology
    Umm... no quite possibly make an anthropol, no, uh, I mean an apolog... ph...
    It has enthralled distinguished professors
    and in layman's language is "blinking well baffling"

    But to be more obtusely, "buggered if I know"
    Yes, "buggered if I know"
    And that's all we've gleaned so far from experts in fourteenth century painting
    renaissance, greengrocers, and recently revived members of the public
    Buggered if I know

    Cloud Nine
    Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman J. Whitfield
    Originally performed by: The Temptations
    Covered by various other artists



    Childhood part of my life it wasn't very pretty
    You see I was born and raised in the slums of the city
    It was a one-room shack that slept
    Ten other children besides me
    We hardly had enough food or room to sleep
    It was hard times needed something
    To ease my troubled mind
    Listen my father didn't know the meaning of work
    He disrespected momma and treated us like dirt
    I left home seeking a job that I never did find
    Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud 9
    I'm doing fine up here on cloud 9
    Listen one more time I'm doing fine up here on cloud 9

    Folks down there tell me
    They say give yourself a chance, son
    Don't let life pass you by
    But the world of reality is a rat race
    Where only the strongest survive
    It's a dog eat dog world
    And that ain't no lie
    Listen it ain't even safe no more
    To walk the streets at night

    I'm doing fine on cloud 9
    Let me tell you about cloud 9
    Cloud 9, you can be what you wanna be
    You ain't got no responsibility
    And every man, every man is free
    And you're a million miles from reality
    I wanna say I love the life I live
    And I'm gonna live the life I love
    Up here on cloud 9
    I'm riding high on cloud 9
    You're as free as a bird in flight
    There's no difference between day and night
    It's a world of love and harmony
    You're a million miles from reality, cloud 9

    Rêver
    Composer(s): René Rouzaud;
    Rachel Thoreau; Guy Luypaerts
    Performer(s): Lucienne Boyer



    {Refrain:}
    Rêver de toi, la nuit, le jour
    Rêver toujours, au fil des heures
    Jeter au ciel des mots d'amour
    Crier ma peine au vent qui pleure
    Imaginer qu'une présence
    Se penche sur mon chagrin
    Que tout recommence
    Comme une romance
    Flaner tout seul sur les chemins où nous allions jadis ensemble
    Croire un instant que c'est ta main qui prend ma main, ma main qui tremble
    Ecouter les harpes du temps qui fuit
    Voir comme une écharpe, tomber la nuit
    Rêver toujours
    Rêver de toi
    Rêver d'amour

    Ainsi rien qu'en fermant les yeux
    Je fais chanter quand je le veux
    Mes souvenirs comme un lointain prélude
    Et le rappel des jours anciens
    Me fait oublier le chagrin
    De te savoir si loin

    Who’s got girls in every port
    Hanging around like flies
    Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
    The sailor with the navy blue eyes

    Who’s the guy they love to buy
    Dozens of socks and ties
    Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
    The sailor with the navy blue eyes

    When the boat comes home after crossing the foam
    He’s still at sea
    Thinking, wond’ring who’s he gonna take a-rowing on the lake

    Who’s the boy who’s full of joy
    Waving the most goodbyes
    Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
    The sailor with the navy blue eyes

    When the boat comes home after crossing the foam
    And he’s still at sea
    He’ll start a-wond’ring, worrying, all of a flurrying
    Who’s he gonna take rowing on the lake

    Now who’s the boy who’s full of joy
    Waving the most goodbyes
    Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho

    When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love
    You're walkin' on cloud lucky seven
    Hah, seven is the cloud nearest heaven
    When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love

    You never know, you never know, you never know
    There's no way that you can detect it
    It can happen when you least expect it
    You never know, you never know, you never know

    When you meet someone new
    You're on clouds one and two
    With someone who
    makes you feel like singing
    As you see more and more
    of the one you adore
    You're on clouds three and four
    And bell are ringing
    When you reach five and six
    Then your heart bumps and kicks
    There's one more cloud to go

    When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love
    You're walkin' on cloud lucky seven

    When you meet someone new
    You're on clouds one and two

    Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



    Pour un bouquet de lilas
    Qu'il t'offrit ce jour-là
    Reveline
    Tu as rêvé d'un jardin
    Fleurissant tes matins
    Reveline
    Pour un petit brin de cour
    Tu as rêvé d'amour
    Reveline
    Comme si un arc-en-ciel
    Suffit pour que le ciel
    S'illumine

    Reviens sur terre
    Ma douce amie
    La vie n'est guère
    Que la vie

    Avec un soleil pâlot
    Qui se posait sur l'eau
    Reveline
    Tu as rêvé que l'été
    Durait l'éternité
    Reveline
    Une balade en bateau
    Jusqu'au pont de Puteaux
    Reveline
    T'a fait rêver de croisière
    Mexico, le cap Vert
    L'Argentine

    Reviens sur terre
    Ma douce amie
    La vie n'est guère
    Que la vie

    Lorsque mon cœur s'assombrit
    Et que je broie du gris
    Reveline
    Je voudrais avoir tes yeux
    Pour ne voir que du bleu
    Reveline
    Toi, qui changes l'eau en vin
    Toi qui rêves sans fin
    Reveline
    Montre-moi comment tu fais
    Apprends-moi à rêver
    Reveline

    Ne change guère
    Ma douce amie
    La vie n'est guère
    Que la vie

    There's only one thing wrong with the way you hold me (hold me, yeah)

    Clothes Line Saga
    Composer(s): Bob Dylan
    Originally performed by: Bob Dylan
    Covered by: Suzzy Roche



    After a while we took in the clothes
    Nobody said very much
    Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
    Which nobody really wanted to touch
    Mama come in and picked up a book
    An’ papa asked her what it was
    Someone else asked, "what do you care?"
    Papa said, "well, just because"
    Then they started to take back their clothes
    Hang ’em on the line
    It was january the thirtieth
    And everybody was feelin’ fine

    The next day everybody got up
    Seein’ if the clothes were dry
    The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed
    Mama, of course, she said, "hi!"
    "have you heard the news? "he said, with a grin
    "the vice-president’s gone mad!"
    "where?" "downtown" "when?"
    "last night"
    "hmm, say, that’s too bad!"
    "well, there’s nothin’ we can do about it," said the neighbor
    "it’s just somethin’ we’re gonna have to forget"
    "yes, I guess so," said ma
    Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet

    I reached up, touched my shirt
    And the neighbor said, "are those clothes yours?"
    I said, "some of ’em, not all of ’em"
    He said, "ya always help out around here with the chores?"
    I said, "sometime, not all the time"
    Then my neighbor, he blew his nose
    Just as papa yelled outside
    "mama wants you t’ come back in the house and bring them clothes"
    Well, I just do what I’m told
    So, I did it, of course
    I went back in the house and mama met me
    And then I shut all the doors

    Mother please forgive them
    For they know not what they do
    Looking back in history's books
    It seems it's nothing new

    Oh! Let my mother live

    Heaven is for heroes
    And hell is full of fools
    Stupidity, no will to live
    They're breaking God's own rules

    Please let my mother live

    Father, of all creation
    I think we're all going wrong
    The course they're taking
    Seems to be breaking

    And it won't take too long
    Children of the future
    Watching empires fall
    Madness the cup they drink from
    Self destruction the toll
    I had a vision, l saw the world burn
    And the seas had turned red
    The sun had fallen, the final curtain
    In the land of the dead

    Mother, please show the children
    Before it's too late
    To fight each other, there's no-one winning
    We must fight all the hate

    The Sad Cafe
    Composer(s): Joe Walsh - Glenn Frey - Don Henley - J.D. Souther
    First release by: Eagles - 1979
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
    The tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
    Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
    And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Cafe
    Oh, it seemed like a holy place protected by amazing grace
    And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
    We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
    We were part of the lonely crowd
    Inside the Sad Cafe
    Oh, expecting to fly
    we would meet on that shore in the sweet by and by
    Some of their dreams came true
    some just passed away
    And some of the stayed behind inside the Sad Cafe
    The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
    Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
    Now I look at the years gone by
    and wonder at the powers that be
    I don't know why fortune smiles on some and let's the rest go free
    Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
    But things in this life change very slowly
    if they ever change at all
    There's no use in asking why
    it just turned out that way
    So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Cafe
    Why don't you meet me at midnight baby
    inside the Sad Cafe

    Closing Time
    Danish Title: Lukketid
    Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
    Originally performed by: Leonard Cohen



    So we're drinking and we're dancing and the bards are really happening
    And the Johnny Walker wisdom's running high
    And my very sweet companion, she's an angel of compassion
    She's rubbing half the world against her thigh
    And every drinker, every dancer lifts a happy face to thank her
    And the fiddler fiddles something so sublime

    (Repeat:)
    And the women tear their blouses off
    And the men they dance on the polka dots
    And it's partner found and partner lost
    And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
    At Closing Time

    Closing Time

    Well, we're lonely, we're romantic and the cider's spiked with mushrooms
    And the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
    And the moon is spinning naked and the summer night is fragrant
    With the mighty expectation of relief
    So we struggle and we stagger down the snakes and up the ladders
    To the tower where the blessed hours chime

    (Repeat)
    And I swear it happened just like this
    A sigh, a cry, and a hungry kiss
    The gates of love they budged an inch
    And I can't say much has happened since
    But Closing Time

    Closing Time

    I loved you for your beauty but that doesn't make a fool of me
    You were in it for your beauty too
    And I loved you for your body, there's a voice that sounds like God to me
    Declaring that your body's really you
    Well I loved you when our love was blessed
    And I love you know there's nothing left
    But sorrow and a sense of overtime
    And I missed you since the place got wrecked
    And I just don't care what happens next
    Looks like freedom but it feels like death
    It's something in between I guess
    It's Closing Time

    Closing Time

    So we're drinking and we're dancing but there's nothing really happening
    And the place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
    And my very close companion gets me hot and gets me laughing
    She's a hundred but she's wearing something tight
    And I lift my glass to the awful truth that you can't reveal to the ears of youth
    Except to say it isn't worth a dime
    And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
    And it's once for the Devil and it's for the Christ
    But the boss don't like those dizzy heights, we're busted in the blinding lights
    Of Closing Time
    Closing Time

    The Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake
    Composer(s): Steve Marriott
    Performer(s): Humble Pie



    When I was just a kid back in Abeline
    I had to use a gun, well, for my own sake
    I shot a man down when I was just eighteen
    And from that day they call me Shaky Jake
    Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
    Texas Rangers coming after you
    Here's the price you pay for one mistake
    So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
    Ma says I was born under bad sign
    I was lookin' for the chance to make or break
    I cut my teeth on a brandin' iron
    I'm the devil's own son, I'm Shaky Jake
    Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
    Texas Rangers coming after you
    Here's the price you pay for one mistake
    So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
    I keep on the run now
    I travel by night
    I don't need anyone
    But someone, one day, somewhere's gonna see me right
    Dig a hole about six foot deep
    Pray the Lord my soul to take
    I don't want flowers, and nobody's gonna weep
    Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake
    Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
    Texas Rangers coming after you
    Here's the price you pay for one mistake
    So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
    Shakey Jake
    Shakey Jake
    Shakey Jake
    Shakey Jake
    Shakey Jake
    Shakey Jake
    Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
    Texas Rangers coming after you
    Here's the price you pay for one mistake
    So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake

    Closing My Eyes
    Composer(s): Peter Green
    Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac; Naked Blue



    Now it's the same as before
    And I'm alone again

    With no sorrow for myself
    And I'm blaming no one else

    And closing my eyes
    And seeing you standing there

    Now it's the same as before
    You've touched me with your love

    And though you're in my heart
    We're still a world apart
    As now I'm back to the time
    Where I would search for a dream
    But no use to try anymore as before
    Someday I'll die, and maybe then I'll be with you

    So I'm closing my eyes
    To hear the people laugh

    For they're all aglow
    Not knowing where to go

    But is it asking too much
    When the question is what to do
    With the life I'll have
    It seems I know nothing now
    Except my love for you
    And the strength in my hands
    To go on feeding your smile
