I Fall To Pieces Composer(s): Harlan Howard; Hank Cochran First release by: Patsy Cline - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
I fall to pieces Each time I see you again I fall to pieces How can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we've never kissed You want me to forget (to forget) Pretend we never met (never met) And I've tried and I've tried But I haven't yet You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces Each time someone speaks your name I fall to pieces Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love Someone who'll love me too (love me too) The way you used to do (used to do) But each time I go out with someone new You walk by and I fall to pieces You walk by and I fall to pieces
J'Étais Fait Pour Les Sympathies Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Jean-Claude Brialy
Ça y est Mal au coeur déjà Je suis foutu quoi, le coup de foudre peut être Ah ridicule! Oh non j'avais pas besoin de ça! Pourquoi moi? J'étais fait pour les sympathies L'amour en bagnole, les mensonges teintés d'ennui les jeux de cartes biseautées, antipathie et sympathie J'étais fait pour ça J'étais fait pour les sympathies À la rigueur des tas d'amis J'étais fait pour ça Non pas pour l'amour
J'étais fait pour les cinq à six À la rigueur les cinq à sept J'étais fait pour ça Non pas pour toujours
Mais pourquoi faut-il être deux mon Dieu À trois c'est déjà difficile Si l'on pouvait se mettre à six ou sept Tout serait alors si simple, tellement plus naturel
J'étais fait pour être à plusieurs À la rigueur pour être seul J'étais fait pour ça Pas pour être à deux
Maintenant c'est fini tout ça Va falloir compter avec elle Un jeu dangereux Une autre paire de manches Non je me connais je suis sûr que je suis pas adapté Je suis pas prêt à tous les extrêmes et ça risque de me mener vachement loin Capable de tout De toutes les conneries Et d'abord savoir qui elle est et pas trop réfléchir C'est mauvais Allez on verra bien!
I Fall In Love Too Easily Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne First performance/First recording: Frank Sinatra/Tony Bennett - 1945/1954 Covered by multiple other artists
There are those who can leave love or take it Love to them is just what they make it I wish that I were the same But love is my fav'rite game
I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled 'Cause I've been burned in the past And still I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too easily I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard For love to ever last

Yo era feliz contigo, vida mia
Tu eras principio y fin, de mi alegria
Yo te creia fiel como la luna
Que acude a protegernos cada dia
Yo era feliz contigo, vida mia
Tu eras mi perro fiel
Yo era tu guia
Hasta que desperte de mi locura
Y pude comprender que me mentias
Coro
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel, me sabe a hiel
Mira mi cuerpo como se quiebra
Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
De humo fue tu amor y de papel y de papel
Mira mis sueos como se queman
Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti
Yo era feliz contigo vida mia
Tu eras mi perro fiel, yo era tu guia
Hasta que desperte de mi locura
Y pude comprender, que me mentias
Coro
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel, me sabe a hiel
Mira mi cuerpo como se quiebra
Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
De humo fue tu amor, y de papel y de papel
Mira mis sueos como se queman
Mira mis lagrimas como no cesan por ti
Todo se derrumbo dentro de mi, dentro de mi
Hasta mi aliento ya me sabe a hiel me sabe a hiel
I Enjoy Being A Girl Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Doris Day and multiple other artists
When I have a brand new hairdo With my eyelashes all in curl I float as the clouds on air do I enjoy being a girl When men say I'm cute and funny And my teeth aren't teeth but pearl I just lap it up like honey I enjoy being a girl
I flip when a fella sends me flowers I drool over dresses made of lace I talk on the telephone for hours With a pound and a half of cream upon my face
I'm strictly a female female And my future I hope will be In the home of a brave and free male Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl like me
Y qué puedo decir sino reiterar una vez más que yo no estoy aquí porque nunca he pretendido estar sin o ser sin que ser tenga el sentido de entender lo que no sabe el latido
Y qué puedo decir que no sea un nuevo modo de volver a decir que queda todo, todo todo por sentir
Nada puedo añadir a los pleitos entre el bien y el mal solamente insistir en la paradoja que hay detrás de creer que son dos cosas opuestas y no ver que ambas se dan la respuesta
Y qué puedo decir que no sea un nuevo modo de volver a decir que queda todo, todo todo por sentir
I Drove All Night Composer(s): Tom Kelly; Billy Steinberg First recording/First release by: Roy Orbison - 1988/1989 Covered by multiple other artists
I had to escape The city was sticky and cruel Maybe I should have called you first But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove The long straight road ahead Uh-huh, yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you Is that all right? I drove all night, crept in your room Woke you from your sleep to make love to you Is that all right? I drove all night
What in this world keeps us from falling apart? No matter where I go I hear the beating of our one heart I think about you when the night is cold and dark Uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do Nothing erases this feeling between me and you I drove all night to get to you Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room Woke you from your sleep to make love to you Is that all right? I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you Is that all right? I drove all night, crept in your room Is that all right? I drove all night
Jet Airliner Composer(s): Paul Pena Performer(s): Steve Miller Band; Paul Pena; Sawtooth Bluegrass Band; The Wynners
Leavin' home, out on the road I've been down before Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane I've been thinkin' about my home But my love light seems so far away And I feel like it's all been done Somebody's tryin' to make me stay You know I've got to be movin' on
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Goodbye to all my friends at home Goodbye to people I've trusted I've got to go out and make my way I might get rich you know I might get busted But my heart keeps calling me backwards As I get on the 707 Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes You know you got to go through hell Before you get to heaven
Big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Touchin' down in New England town Feel the heat comin' down I've got to keep on keepin' on You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around And I'm goin' with some hesitation You know that I can surely see That I don't want to get caught up in any of that Funky shit goin' down in the city
Big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner Carry me to my home Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's there that I belong
Todo O Sentimento Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Cristóvão Bastos Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists
Preciso não dormir Até se consumar O tempo Da gente Preciso conduzir Um tempo de te amar Te mando devagar E urgentemente Pretendo descobrir No último momento Um tempo que refaz o que desfez Que recolhe todo o entimento E bota no corpo uma outra vez
Prometo te querer Até o amor cair Doente Doente Prefiro então partir A tempo de poder A gente se desvencilhar da gente Depois de te perder Te encontro, com certeza Talvez num tempo da delicadeza Onde não diremos nada Nada aconteceu Apenas seguirei, como encantado Ao lado teu
I Drink French & Italian Titles: Je Bois; Io Bevo Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I drink to drive away all the years I have hated The ambitions frustrated that no longer survive I drink day after day to the chaos behind me Yes, I drink to remind me that still I'm alive
So I give you a toast to the endless confusions To the lies and delusions that have swallowed my life Yes, I give you a toast to the wine and the roses To the deadly cirrhosis that can cut like a knife
I drink to catch a gleam of the love we degraded Of a life that has faded like the vanishing moon I drink, as in a dream, to my waning desire To the passionate fire that has burned out so soon
I drink and I drown in the promise you made me All the times you betrayed me in your anger and spite When you took on the town, when you looked for the action When you took satisfaction, like a whore in the night
I drink to make-believe that my life is worth living That the gods are forgiving at the end of the day I drink because I grieve for the dreams when we started For the innocent-hearted who got lost on the way
For the children unborn, for their dead, phantom faces For our sterile embraces in the tomb of your bed I drink, and I mourn for the harvest that failed For the ship that has sailed, for the hope that is dead
I drink to find a place where the darkness can hide me Till the terror inside me can at last disappear I drink to my disgrace, till oblivion claims me Till there's nothing that shames me, till I'm blind to my fear
Yes, I drink till I burst in my own degradation To the edge of damnation that is waiting below Yes, I drink with a thirst that destroys and depraves me And cuffs and enslaves me, and will never let go
I drink until I'm lost, and the street is my hideout Where I vomit my pride out till I'm gasping for breath I drink to count the cost of a life I despair for Until God hears my prayer for the compassion of death
So I spit out my bile at the gods who demean us At the silence between us, at the love none can save For a life that is vile, for a soul that is ailing For a body that's failing as it heads for the grave
I drink without a care? drink because I must? drink to my despair? I drink to your disgust? I drink, drink, drink? by God, I drink! Yes, I drink!

Jet! With The Wind In Your Hair Of A Thousand Laces Climb On The Back And We'll Go For A Ride In The Sky And Jet, I Thought The Major Was A Lady Suffragette Jet! Jet!
Todo Está Bien Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Zas
Todo está bien así nos lo hemos creído Uno puede pasear al perro por la vereda soleada Uno puede creer que la libertad es un picnic También se puede tener placer en ver T.V. un sábado a la noche
Más de vos más de mí más de los que están allí
Uno puede encontrarse una lata en la calle meter y sacar la mano sin temor a cortarse Si uno y uno son dos por qué lo ignora Dios
Todo está bien después de todo, todo está bien Todo está bien
Quisiera saber quién reparte el pan y el vino qué enseñanza le podré dar a mi hijo el hilo que aún me sostiene se está a punto de romper
Uno puede pensar que el mundo se arma para defenderse pero de quién? Uno puede amar la naturaleza pero comer un buen churrasco cerca del río Uno puede estar tan loco como para mirarse en el espejo y amarse de una vez por todas
Polución, frustración congestión, represión Qué suerte que te encuentro dormida y que la música aún nos una
Todo está bien después de todo, todo está bien Todo está bien A quién le importa ya si el mal o el bien existen con tanta gente sola y que resiste Si ellos lo dicen, todo está bien
Todo está bien después de todo, todo está bien Todo está bien después de todo, todo está bien
I Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls Composer(s): Michael Balfe; Alfred Bunn; Michael McGlynn Performer(s): Larry Clinton and multiple other artists
I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls With servant and slaves by my side And of all who assembled within those great walls That I was the hope and the pride I had rubies to play with and money to count My name was renowned with fame But I also dreamt, which pleased me most That you loved me still the same That you loved me, you loved me still the same
I had rubies to play with and money to count My name was renowned with fame But I also dreamt, which pleased me most That you loved me still the same That you loved me, you loved me still the same
Jésus Christ Composer(s): Philippe Labro; Eddie Vartan Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
S'il existe encore aujourd'hui Il doit vivre aux Etats-Unis Il doit jouer de la guitare Et coucher sur les bancs des gares Il doit fumer de la marijane Avec un regard bleu qui plane
Jésus, Jésus-Christ Jésus-Christ est un hippie
Poncho mexicain sur le dos Autour de son front, un bandeau Il est barbu et chevelu Il s'est battu à Chicago Il aime les filles aux seins nus Il est né à San Francisco
Jésus, Jésus-Christ Jésus-Christ est un hippie
Dans les parcs et le long des docks Il vit dans un sac de couchage On n'arrête pas de l'arrêter Pour délit de vagabondage Au grand festival de Woodstock C'est lui qui soignait les blessés
Jésus, Jésus-Christ Jésus-Christ est un hippie
Son père s'appelait Jo, je crois Sa mère s'appelait Mary, je crois Il a trente-trois ans, je crois Le FBI lui court après, je crois Et s'ils arrivent à le coincer Ils mettront notre ami en croix
Jésus, Jésus-Christ Jésus-Christ est un hippie Jésus-Christ est un hippie Jésus-Christ est un hippie

I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven Composer(s): Eddie Dean; Hal Sothern Performer(s): Tex Ritter
(Wah, wah, wah, waaahhhh) I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven {Oh what a beautiful sight}
Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven And you know who greeted me at the gate? The ole cowboy-philosopher himself, Will Rogers He said to me, he said "Tex, the Big Boss of the riders up here has asked me to kinda show you around Now, over yonder are a couple of your ole compadres" My, was I glad to see them, Carson Robison and the Mississippi blue yodeler Jimmie Rodgers
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven {Oh what a beautiful sight}
He introduced me to Wiley Post, and he showed me the Hall of Fame with all the gold guitars and fiddles hanging on the walls Then he said, "Tex, step over this way, there are two more of your friends I know you'll want to see, they're waitin' for you" There they were standin' side by side and smilin' at me -- Hank Williams and Johnny Horton
I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven {Oh what a star-studded night}
Then I asked him who else do you expect in the next, uh, say a hundred years? He handed me a large book covered with star dust Will called it the Big Tally Book In it were many names and each name was branded in pure gold I began to read some of them as I turned the pages: Red Foley, Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, Roy Acuff Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie, Jimmy Dean, Andy Griffith, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter (Whaaaatttt???) Tex Ritter? Oh, well, that's when I woke up, and I'm sorry I did, because
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven {Oh what a beautiful sight}
