Toe Hold Composer(s): Isaac Hayes - David Porter First release by: Johnnie Taylor - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
All my life I been a po' boy It's been hard to get a dime Everythin' I got, umm, hmm I had to pay for it on time, but that's all right
Long as I got a toehold As long as I got a piece of you As long as I got a toehold I can make it through
Now listen I said I went to my doctor First thing he talked about is malnutrition I'm not tryin' to be a fatman I've got to look after my ambition
Long as I got a toehold Long as I got a piece of you Long as I got a toehold I can make it through
Oh, now give it to me baby A little little little little little little little little little toehold A little little little little little little little little little toehold Oh!
So, baby!, if you're with me I'll let the whole world be against me I don't expect to ever get rich You may find me diggin' in a ditch
Long as I got a toehold Long as I got a piece of you Long as I got a toehold I can make it through
Oh, give it to me baby A little little little little little little little little little toehold A little little little little little little little little little toehold Owwww! That's all I want baby I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold Owwww!...
I Feel Free Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown First release by: Cream - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Feel when I dance with you We move like the sea You, you're all I want to know I feel free, I feel free, I feel free
I can walk down the street, there's no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see Though my mind wants to cry out loud
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free
I can walk down the street, there's no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see Though my eyes want to cry out loud Though my eyes want to cry out loud
Dance floor is like the sea Ceiling is the sky You're the sun and as you shine on me I feel free, I feel free, I feel free ...
Jezebel Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Wayne Shanklin Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Edith Piaf; Les Chaussettes Noires
Jezebel... Jezebel... Ce démon qui brûlait mon cur Cet ange qui séchait mes pleurs C'était toi, Jezebel, c'était toi Ces larmes transpercées de joie Jezebel, c'était toi... Jezebel, c'était toi...
Mais l'amour s'est anéanti Tout s'est écroulé sur ma vie Écrasant, piétinant, emportant mon cur Jezebel... Mais pour toi Je ferais le tour de la terre J'irais jusqu'au fond des enfers Où es-tu? Jezebel, où es-tu?
Les souvenirs que l'on croit fanés Sont des êtres vivants Avec des yeux de morts vibrants encore de passé Mais mon cur est crevé d'obsession Il bat en répétant Tout au fond de moi-même Ce mot que j'aime Ton nom... Jezebel... Jezebel...
Mais l'amour s'est anéanti Tout s'est écroulé sur ma vie Écrasant, piétinant, emportant mon cur Jezebel... Mais pour toi Je ferais le tour de la terre J'irais jusqu'au fond des enfers En criant sans répit Jour et nuit Jezebel... Jezebel... Jezebel...
Todos Moimos A Los Veinte ((French Version: Nous Sommes Tous Morts À Vingt Ans (Dalida)) Composer(s): Serge Balasko - Daniel Faure - Toro Performer(s): Dalida
Mordiendo la flor de la edad Todos morimos a los veinte Hambrientos de felicidad Con su sabor entre los dientes
La tierra gira nada más Para los niños que al crecer En un infierno sin final Serán como se debe ser
Con muchos días parecidos Y gestos que nunca se sienten Frente a un espejo bien pulido Por el que las arrugas mienten
Mordiendo la flor de la edad Todos morimos a los veinte De un ideal sin realizar En una primavera ardiente
Yo que reniego de la guerra A veces creo envidiar Al joven muerto por su tierra Sin tiempo ni para gritar
Sin ver sonreír a la tristeza Sin oír al pájaro gemir Veinte años, para la belleza El resto solo para morir
Sonando la flor de la edad Todos morimos a los veinte Con la primara soledad Cuando el primer amor nos miente
Porqué alargar lo que no dura Porqué querer ser todavía Si el amor muerto sin ternura Es un suicidio cada día Somos fantasmas nada más De cierto sexo, ciertos anos Unas caretas sin piedad Con las que nos hacemos daño
Mordiendo la flor de la edad Todos morimos a los veinte Hambrientos de felicidad Con su sabor entre los dientes
La, la, la...
Hambrientos de felicidad Con su sabor entre los dientes

Jezabel Composer(s): Nicoletta; William Sheller Performer(s): Nicoletta
Tout s'éteint dans Paris qui s'éveille Elle s'en va juste à l'heure du soleil Jezabel Si belle Jezabel Jezabel Si belle Où va-t-elle?
Vers un monde, un jour tombé du ciel Du sourire de celui qui l'appelle Jezabel Si belle Jezabel... Jezabel Où va-t-elle?
Vers la vie, vers l'amour Comme elle l'a rêvé toujours Comme chantait dans la cour Une chanson de tous les jours
On peut croire aux tendresses éternelles Même au fond du couloir d'un hôtel Jezabel Si belle Le sait elle? Jezabel Si belle Que fait-elle?
Les histoires se ressemblent pareilles Elles finissent à la rue des merveilles Jezabel Si belle Les voit-elle? Jezabel Où va-t-elle?
Vers la vie, vers l'amour Comme elle l'a rêvé toujours Comme chantait dans la cour Une chanson de tous les jours
Tout s'éteint dans Paris qui s'éveille Quelque part, elle pleure dans ses dentelles Jezabel Trop belle Jezabel... Jezabel Jezabel...
À la vie, à l'amour On ne peut pas rêver toujours Et s'en vont dans les cours Les chansons de tous les jours À la vie, à l'amour On ne peut pas rêver toujours Et s'en vont dans les cours Les chansons de tous les jours...

I feel a song coming on And I'm a-warning you It's a victorious, happy and glorious new strain I feel a song coming on It's a melody full of the laughter Of children out after the rain

Jewel-Eyed Judy Composer(s): Danny Kirwan; Mick Fleetwood; John McVie Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
Moonshine time Thoughts of you Spinning round As thoughts do I just wondered if Your eyes still shine As they did When you were mine
I can see In a dream Thougts so clear And jewels that gleam Would your eyes Still sparkle then If we were, once again
Jewel-eyed Judy please come home Jewel-eyed Judy don't leave me alone Jewel-eyed Judy please come home Jewel-eyed Judy don't leave me alone
Lovely Judy Can you see Where it is You're meant to be Where you lay Your head tonight May the stars Find your light So am I Sitting here Moonlight glistens On my tears Is this all That we could find Chains of memories Left behind
Jewel-eyed Judy please come home Jewel-eyed Judy don't leave me alone Jewel-eyed Judy please come home Jewel-eyed Judy don't leave me alone
Uma gata, o que é que tem? - As unhas E a galinha, o que é que tem? - O bico Dito assim, parece até ridículo Um bicinho se assanhar E o jumento, o que é que tem? - As patas E o cachorro, o que é que tem? - Os dentes Ponha tudo junto e de repente Vamos ver no que é que dá
Junte um bico com dez unhas Quatro patas, trinta dentes E o valente dos valentes Ainda vai te respeitar
Todos juntos somos fortes Somos flecha e somos arco Todos nós no mesmo barco Não há nada pra temer - ao meu lado há um amigo Que é preciso proteger Todos juntos somos fortes Não há nada pra temer
Uma gat, o que é que é? - Esperta E o jumento, o que é que é? - Paciente Não é grande coisa realmente Prum bichinho se assanhar E o cachorro, o que é que é? - Leal E a galinha, o que é que é? - Teimosa Não parece mesmo grande coisa Vamos ver no que é que dá
Esperteza, Paciência Lealdade, Teimosia E mais dia menos dia A lei da selva vai mudar Todos juntos somos fortes Somos flecha e somos arco Todos nós no mesmo barco Não há nada pra temer - Ao meu lado há um amigo Que é preciso proteger Todos juntos somos fortes Não há nada pra temer
E no entanto dizem que são tantos Saltimbancos como nós

Ooh, I love you so But why I love you I'll never know You found a reason for leavin' Soon as I gave my love to you

Les Vagues ((aka La Nuit Bleue (Christophe) - 1983)) ((Adapted from: Ebb Tide (Frank Chacksfield and His Orch.) - 1953)) Composer(s): Robert Maxwell - Carl Sigman - Jean-Loup Dabadie Performer(s): Julien Clerc - 2003
Seules Les Vagues se devinent Et se glissent tout au bord La mer les retire C'est la terre qui les attire D'abord
Je t'emmène Si présente et lointaine Mais je t'aime Et si lente, si violente La marée monte encore
Alors quand je te berce C'est comme une île à la renverse Le désir comme l'orage Tout chavire, beau naufrage Dans tes bras Tout au bord de ton corps indocile
Comme Les Vagues infidèles Et leur force est en elles Je t'appelle
I Fear Nothing Composer(s): Bob Russell; Lester Lee Performer(s): Lou Costello
I fear nothing when I am in the right! Who ever pushes me around will find me full of fight! I fear nothing when I do nothing wrong And so I toddle on my way and sing a merry song!
I'll be defiant and be obstreperous If any giant should try and salt-and-pepper us! And I'll rise up, up to my fullest height 'Cause I fear absolutely nothing when I'm in the right!
A man believes what he believes And by these principles a man must stand A time will come for rolled-up sleeves And it might help to have a fist on hand!
If I believe that I am right There's only one thing to be done I don't go looking for a fight But I have never run away from one!
But only fools will take a dare And there are things that only fools defy If I smell trouble in the air I hold my breath until the breeze blows by!
I'll snort defiance like some rhinoceros Afraid of giants, now, isn't that preposseros! I find courage a thing of great delight! Sing fee-dilly-ay and fee-dilly-aye with steady hand and steely eye!
Jeune Homme Composer(s): Ralph Bernet; Jacques Revaux Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Jeune homme Tu parles comme un homme À croire que t'as vécu Mille ans et plus
Jeune homme Tu parles comme un homme À croire que dans la vie T'as tout appris
Mais que fais-tu d'un enfant tout seul quand vient Noël Oui que fais-tu de ce chien dont le maître est au ciel Et que fais-tu d'un ami que l'amour a brisé Oui que fais-tu des amis qui ne pourront jamais l'aider Si tu savais ce que je sais
Jeune homme Tu parles comme un homme À croire que t'as tout vu Que t'as tout lu
Jeune homme Tu parles comme un homme À voir tes poings fermés T'es sans pitié
Mais que fais-tu de celui qui n'a plus de pays Et que fais-tu d'un bateau qui sombre dans la nuit Et que fais-tu d'un vieillard qui a peur de l'hiver Oui que fais-tu des milliers de gens qui souffrent aujourd'hui sur la Terre Si tu savais ce que je sais
Jeune homme Quand tu seras un homme Alors il te faudra Te souvenir Jeune homme De respecter les hommes D'être digne de vivre Et de mourir Digne de mourir Jeune homme Digne de mourir Jeune homme
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
