This Is Not America Composer(s): David Bowie - Pat Metheny - Lyle Mays First release by: David Bowie and Pat Metheny Group - 1985 Covered by multiple other artists
This is not America, sha la la la la
A little piece of you The little peace in me Will die [This is not a miracle] For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom This season Promise not to stare Too long [This is not America] For this is not the miracle
There was a time A storm that blew so pure For this could be the biggest sky And I could have The faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la la]
Snowman melting From the inside Falcon spirals To the ground [This could be the biggest sky] So bloody red Tomorrow's clouds
A little piece of you The little piece in me Will die [This could be a miracle] For this is not America
There was a time A wind that blew so young For this could be the biggest sky And I could have the faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la This is not America, no, this is not This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la]
Crazy Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr. Performer(s): The Manhattans
Ah...
Girl, I can't believe The love you're givin' me Took me by surprise For your love wears no disguise
And ah...you turn my head around You blow my mind with a love That makes me feel so good
My world is upside down And the feeling's strong You really got me going
Crazy About your lovin', girl It's crazy
Please stay my lady Without your love I'll just go crazy
Thinking back in time When loneliness was mine My life was bare Without a love to share
But now you turned my life around You build me up and I know I'm really winning In you, the love I've found (I'm all shook up) My head is spinnin', girl
It's just crazy How much I love you, girl It's crazy
Please stay my lady Without your love I'll just go crazy
So let me hold you in a warm embrace In our love all fears erase Far as the sun shall surely rise Never a tear shall touch your eyes
`Cause I'm crazy About your lovin', girl It's crazy
Please stay my lady Without your love I'll just go crazy
Whoa, whoa, it's crazy How much I love you, girl It's crazy
Please stay my lady Without your love I'll just go crazy

J'aime, j'aime, j'aime la chanson
que tu me chantais souvent J'aime, j'aime, j'aime la chanson qui rappelle nos quinze ans (A quinze ans on rêvait de partir, à Venise où ailleurs souviens-toi) Souviens-toi, comme nous étions heureux quand on dansait tous les deux (C'est vrai, je n'osais pas t'embrasser, et tu sais, je n'ai rien oublié)
Et dis-moi, dis, qu'est-ce que tu deviens, je suis mariée tu sais bien J'aime, j'aime, j'aime la photo où tu me prends dans tes bras J'aime, j'aime, j'aime les mots d'amour que tu me disais tout bas (Je t'aime comme la première fois, mais tu vois, rien n'est plus comme avant) Aujourd'hui toi, tu vis loin de moi et le monde est différent (Je sais bien, c'est chacun pour soi, et nous n'aurons plus jamais quinze ans)
N'oublie pas que l'on s'était promis de s'aimer toute une vie
This Is No Laughing Matter Composer(s): Van Loman - Martin Block - Al Frisch Performer(s): Glenn Miller & His Orch. (vocal: Ray Eberle) and multiple other artists
I have a feeling that something is wrong This is not the way that things should be We've known each other too well and too long You don't have to act with me
This is no laughing matter Somehow I want to cry I know your sweet and idle chatter Really means goodbye This is no laughing matter I thought we'd never part This is no time for pretty patter While you break my heart What of all the moon dreams shared together Beside the garden wall Love can't always have that perfect weather A little rain must fall Think of the dreams you'll shatter If you should say we're through This is no laughing matter Darling, I'm in love with you
Crazy Composer(s): Willie Nelson First release by: Patsy Cline - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
Crazy I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely I'm crazy Crazy for feelin' so blue I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted And then someday You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry? Wonderin' what in the world did I do?
I'm crazy For thinkin' that my love could hold you I'm crazy for cryin' And crazy for tryin' And I'm crazy for lovin' you
Crazy For thinkin' that my love could hold you I'm crazy for cryin' And crazy for tryin' And I'm crazy for lovin' you
J'Aime Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi; Christian Dorisse Performer(s): Dalida
Comme un jour qui va venir Un chagrin qui va finir Une porte qui va s'ouvrir Une étoile qui brille
Comme un couple qui va s'unir Une larme qui va mourir Un enfant qui va grandir Je n'aime que lui
J'aime le plein soleil Qui crève le ciel quand il sourit J'aime le pleins d'amour La vie qui court autour de lui J'aime la terre immense La nuit qui danse quand il est là J'aime même ma peine pour qu'il revienne Quand il s'en va
Ma vie se lit sur son visage Et le temps n'a plus d'âge J'aime le pleins soleil Qui crève le ciel quand il sourit J'aime le pleins d'amour La vie qui court autour de lui
Comme un jour qui va venir Un chagrin qui va finir Une porte qui va s'ouvrir Je n'aime que lui

J'aime quand le vent nous taquine Quand il joue dans tes cheveux Quand tu te fais ballerine Pour le suivre à pas gracieux J'aime quand tu reviens ravie Pour te jeter à mon cou Quand tu te fais petite fille Pour t'asseoir sur mes genoux J'aime le calme crépuscule Quand il s'installe à pas de loup Mais j'aime a espérer crédule Qu'il s'embraserait pour nous J'aime ta main qui me rassure Quand je me perds dans le noir Et ta voix elle murmure De la source de l'espoir J'aime quand tes yeux couleur de brume Me font un manteau de douceur Et comme sur un coussin de plumes Mon front se pose sur ton cur
Down In Jungle Town Composer(s): Edward Madden - Theodore Morse Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers and multiple other artists
Down in Jungle Town A honeymoon is comin' soon There will be a serenade To a pretty monkey maid And soon a big baboon Comes out to spoon beneath the moon Oh she'll be true to monkey doodle doo Way down in Jungle Town
And so we left the teeming little village and struck out into the mysterious jungle By native grapevine we had learned of a tribe of ferocious man-eating cannibals who held in their midst, Mamo, a beautiful white goddess After hacking our way through the dense undergrowth for hours, we finally came into a clearing There in the moonlight was Mamo, surrounded by a group of half crazed savages chanting the song of death
(Iiieee-yaaa, Pistol Packin' Mamo lay that pistol down)

Crawling From The Wreckage Composer(s): Graham Parker First release by: Dave Edmunds - 1979
Got out really early from the factory Driving like a nut in the rain Dont think I was acting so hysterically But I didnt see a thing until it came Man the drunks were verbal in the takeaway Beating up the chinese at the counter
I put a few inside me At the end of the day I took out my revenge On the revolution counter
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Youd think by now at least that Half my brain would get the message Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
In walks bud with his exploding nose Hed been giving it maximum today He shouted how the devil You in trouble I suppose But all you ever do is run away Turned up the motor into hyper-drive I wasnt gonna take any of that Dont get bright ideas about a suicide cause all I ever hear Is zoom wam bam past me
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Youd think by now at least that Half my brain would get the message Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Bits of me are scattered In the trees and in the hedges Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Nothing seems to happen that aint happened before I see it all through flashes of depression I dry up my drink and hear People running for the door God I make some kind of impression cause when Im disconnected from the driving wheel Im only half the man I should be But metal hitting metal isnt all I feel And everything is good as It possible could be
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Youd think by now at least that Half my brain would get the message Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Bits of me are scattered In the trees and in the hedges Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Crawling from the wreckage Crawling from the wreckage Crawling, crawling Crawling from the wreckage

This Is My Town Composer(s): Cornelius Halfin - John Halfin Performer(s): Lita Roza
This is my town, where first I saw the light of day This is the town where as a child I used to play I've seen the lights of Paris I've felt the wonder of Rome But this is my love, this is my town And it's home
When people talk of other places where they have been I let them talk, for in my heart I know they`ve never seen That shady lane, the distant steeple Where you'll meet such friendly people This is my town, a bit tumbledown This is my town, this is my home
When people talk of other places where they have been I let them talk, for in my heart I know they`ve never seen That shady lane, the distant steeple Where you'll meet such friendly people This is my town, a bit tumbledown This is my town, this is my home

Well I went to the bayou just last night There was no moon but the stars were bright Put a big long hook on a big long pole And I pulled Mr. Crawfish out of his hole Crawfish

Now take Mr. Crawfish in your hand He's gonna look good in your frying pan If you fry him crisp or you boil him right He'll be sweeter than sugar with every bite Crawfish
