Then I'll Stop Loving You Composer(s): Joe Goodwin - Joe McCarthy - Al. Piantadosi
You seem afraid of my love, dear, afraid of the things that I do true love has never run smooth, dear, that's why you think I'm not true It's foolish to tell you my lovetale, I can't think of anything new still I'll admit you are right, dear, maybe I'll stop loving you
Sweethearts must have bits of sorrow, that helps to sweeten the joy sad today, glad on the morrow, life of a girl and boy One smile can chase any frown, dear One kiss can gladden the heart, though I may stop loving you dear, that very day I will start
When the golden sun stops shining, when the flowers cease to grow when a broken heart stops pining, when the waters cease to flow when a lad without a lassie, never feels a trifle blue when a child won't miss it's mother's kiss, then I'll stop loving you
Condition Of The Heart Composer(s): Prince Performer(s): Prince
There was a girl in Paris Whom he sent a letter 2 Hoping she would answer back Now wasn't that a foolhardy notion On the part of a sometimes Lonely musician Acting out a whim is only good 4 a condition of the heart
There was a dame from London Who insisted that he love her Then left him 4 a real prince From Arabia, now isn't that A shame that sometimes money Buys U everything and nothing Love, it only seems 2 buy a Terminal condition of the heart
Thinking about U driving me crazy My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh Every day is a yellow day I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a woman from the ghetto Who made funny faces just like Clara Bow, how was I 2 know That she would wear the same Cologne as U and giggle the same Giggle that U do? Whenever I would act a fool, the fool With a condition of the heart
Thinking about U driving me crazy My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh Every single day is a yellow day I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris) whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2) (Hoping she would answer back) She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy) He's got a condition of the heart (notion ...)
Then I'll Be Tired Of You Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz - E.Y. Harburg First release by: Freddy Martin and His Orch. - 1934 Covered by multiple other artists
You look at me and wonder, you look at me and doubt Darling your eyes are asking, "Will the flame burn out?" Well, no one is sure of sunshine, no one is sure of dawn But I am sure my love will live on and on
I'll be tired of you when stars are tired of gleaming When I am tired of dreaming, then I'll be tired of you
This I know is true: when winds are tired of blowing When grass is tired of growing, then I'll be tired of you
Beyond the years, 'til day is night, 'til wrong is right 'Til birds refuse to sing Beyond the years, the echo of my only love Will still be whispering, whispering
And if my throbbing heart should ever start repeating That it is tired of beating, then I'll be tired of you
Concurrence Déloyale Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Il y a péril en la demeure Depuis que les femmes de bonnes murs Ces trouble-fête Jalouses de Manon Lescaut Viennent débiter leurs gigots À la sauvette
Ell's ôt'nt le bonhomm' de dessus La brave horizontal' déçue Ell's prenn'nt sa place De la bouche au pauvre tapin Ell's retir'nt le morceau de pain C'est dégueulasse
En vérité, je vous le dis Il y en a plus qu'en Normandie Il y a de pommes Sainte-Mad'lein', protégez-nous Le métier de femme ne nourrit plus son homme
Y a ces gamines de malheur Ces goss's qui, tout en suçant leur Pouc' de fillette Se livrent au détournement De majeur et, vénalement Trouss'nt leur layette
Y a ces rombièr's de qualité Ces punais's de salon de thé Qui se prosternent Qui, pour redorer leur blason Viennent accrocher leur vison À la lanterne
Y a ces p'tit's bourgeoises faux culs Qui, d'accord avec leur cocu Clerc de notaire Au prix de gros vendent leur corps Leurs charmes qui fleurent encor La pomm' de terre
Lors, délaissant la fill' de joie Le client peut faire son choix Tout à sa guise Et se payer beaucoup moins cher Des collégienn's, des ménagèr's Et des marquises
Ajoutez à ça qu'aujourd'hui La manie de l'acte gratuit Se développe Que des créatur's se font culbuter à l'il et sans calcul Ah! les salopes!
Ell's ôt'nt le bonhomm' de dessus La brave horizontal' déçue Ell' prenn'nt sa place De la bouche au pauvre tapin Ell's retir'nt le morceau de pain C'est dégueulasse

Dans ce train qui m'emmène loin Je me demande pourquoi Dans le bruit des roues J'entends comme un écho de sa voix Je sais qu'elle me mentait Quand elle me disait qu'elle m'aimait Et maintenant je l'ai quittée Je m'en vais J'avais quand je l'ai connue Tant d'espoir dans le cur Mais j'ai bien compris qu'avec elle Je n'aurais pas de bonheur Quand l'autre soir je l'ai trouvée Dans d'autres bras très fort serrée Je n'ai pas pu le supporter, Je m'en vais Dans la vie quand on s'aperçoit Qu'une fille ne vous aime plus Il faut aller chercher ailleurs L'amour qu'on a perdu Et moi je sais que je vais découvrir Un autre amour bien plus fort Et si ce n'est pas pour demain Eh bien! je chercherai encore Tant pis si tout est gâché Une de perdue dix de retrouvées Moi, je reprends ma liberté Je m'en vais Dans ce train qui s'en va là-bas Mes souvenirs s'éloignent de moi Je m'aperçois que je l'oublie déjà
Concrete And Clay Composer(s): Brian Parker; Tommy Moeller Performer(s): Unit Four Plus Two
You to me Are sweet as roses in the morning And you to me Are soft as summer rain at dawn, in love we share That something rare
The sidewalks in the street The concrete and the clay beneath my feet Begins to crumble But love will never die Because we'll see the mountains tumble Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be In love eternally That's the way Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
All around I see the purple shades of evening And on the ground The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms So tenderly
The sidewalks in the street The concrete and the clay beneath my feet Begins to crumble But love will never die Because we'll see the mountains tumble Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be In love eternally That's the way Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
The sidewalks in the street The concrete and the clay beneath my feet Begins to crumble But love will never die Because we'll see the mountains tumble Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be In love eternally That's the way Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
And that's the way That's the way it's meant to be
That's the way (that's the way it's meant to be) Wo-oh, that's the way That's the way it's meant to be
Roses On The 4th Of July Composer(s): Nanci Griffith Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
He still sends her roses on the 4th of July They're always white roses and she never asks why She still doesn't know where he goes Thursday nights But his wedding band rests on their bedside that night
He was a soldier in the Vietnam war He lost half his right leg whilst daydreaming of her She lit a candle each holy hour he was gone "You Were On My Mind" was their favorite song
Love is a mystery from birth 'till we die It's cross words of a morning, by evening entwined It's all that we dream of, sometimes it's not right Love is white roses, and you never ask why
He's the hands of a draftsman, he's built a good life She works for a season during IRS time Two children they've had, though their boy has now died When they wake of each morning, he's still on their minds
Their friends would all tell you they're like day and night Their daughter's an actress, she is strong and she's bright He meets with his pals from the war Thursday nights She still treasures those roses every 4th of July

Roses Of Picardy French Title: Dansons La Rose (aka Roses De Picardie)
Composer(s): Frederic E. Weatherly; Hayden Wood Performer(s): John McCormack; and various other artists
She is watching by the poplars Colinette with the sea-blue eyes She is watching and longing, and waiting Where the long white roadway lies And a song stirs in the silence As the wind in the boughs above She listens and starts and trembles 'Tis the first little song of love
Roses are shining in Picardy In the hush of the silver dew Roses are flow'ring in Picardy But there's never a rose like you! And the roses will die with the summertime And our roads may be far apart But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy 'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
And the years fly on forever Till the shadows veil their skies But he loves to hold her little hands And look into her sea-blue eyes And she sees the road by the poplars Where they met in the bygone years For the first little song of the roses Is the last little song she hears
Roses are shining in Picardy In the hush of the silver dew Roses are flow'ring in Picardy But there's never a rose like you! And the roses will die with the summertime And our roads may be far apart But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy 'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
Then Came The Last Days Of May Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult
Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back Of a rented ford They couldn't know they weren't going far
Each one with the money in his pocket Could go out and buy himself a brand new car But they all had the money they had Money they hoped would take them very far
The sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck And they hadn't seen a cop around all day They brought everything they needed bags and scales to weigh the stuff The driver said the border's just over the bluff
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped In the middle of a cold and barren place And the other guy turned and spilled Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been lain?
They're ok the last days of may, I'll be breathing dry air I'm leaving soon, the others are already there You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here They say the west is nice this time of year

Roses In The Snow Composer(s): Nico Performer(s): Nico
He came your way And when he had to go There were roses growing in the snow Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul And you know that it was like this before we had to go
You will never see these lights Glowing in your nights Until you feel this way
With every moon it is as though you're getting closer to your soul And then you go alone and with no fear Then you will know That it was like this before we had to go And you will find that you were blind Until you saw these lights glowing in your nights
He came your way And when he had to go There were roses growing in the snow Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul But you know it was like this before we had to go
You will never see these lights Glowing in your nights If you don't know And there are roses growing in the snow
Concessions Composer(s): Guy Thomas Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Avant que je vous fréquente Je vivais dans un taudis Une espèce de soupente Où j'entassais mon fourbi Je veux bien ma chère Estelle Résider dans vos maisons Vivre dans vos grands hôtels Ou vos manoirs à la con
Mais pas dans un' forteresse Pour décrocher tes caresses
Avant que je sois sinoque Affolé par vos appâts Je vous aurais dit ton vioc Au lieu de votre papa Je veux bien pour vous complaire Apprendre votre jargon Dire Monsieur votre Père Est bête au lieu d'un peu con
Mais j'dirai pas mes hommages En dégrafant ton corsage
Avant que je m'amourache De votre petit chignon Je vivais comme un apache Je bouffais comme un cochon Je veux bien bergeronnette Vous faire une concession Me servir dans une assiette Sur une nappe à la con
Mais j'prendrai pas des pincettes Pour enlever ta jupette
Avant que je me dévoue Aux travaux de Cupidon Je menais je vous l'avoue Une vie de patachon Je veux bien mon églantine Changer mes fréquentations Mais j'userai pas mes bottines Dans tes cocktails à la con
Je mettrai pas de jaquette Pour soulever ta liquette
Avant que je vous connaisse Je chopinais du rouquin Vous buviez du vin de messe Ou du Vichy Celestins Je veux bien ma chère amie Sacrifier quelques canons Mais je veux pas d'eau rougie Ni de tisane à la con
Je ne boirai pas d'la flotte Pour enlever ta culotte
