Ce Soir Je T'attendais
Composer(s): J. Chaumelle - B. Kesslair
First performance by: Michèle Torr - 1966
Le vent peut bien secouer les branches Sur la rue les volets sont clos Sur une nappe blanche Quelques roses se penchent Sur un couvert dressé pour deux La mélodie que tu préfères Repose sur le bord du piano Tout est prêt je l'espère Je n'ai plus rien à faire Que d'ouvrir car j'entends ton pas Et te voilà mais ne prends pas l'air étonné
Car je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'avais raison de t'espérer
Nous nous sommes fait beaucoup de peine On s'est quittés pour quelques mots C'est de l'histoire ancienne Je sais bien que tu m'aimes C'est pourquoi je guettais ton pas Et me voilà là devant toi Tendant les bras
Car je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'étais si sûre que tu viendrais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais J'avais raison de t'espérer
Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais Pour te garder à tout jamais Oui je savais et je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais Ce soir je t'attendais!
People Talkin' Composer(s): Lucinda Williams Performer(s): Lucinda Williams
People...trying to tear us apart Trying to rip out my heart People talkin' People talkin'
Livin' is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
I love you more than this cruel world will ever know I wanna be your girl forever I don't wanna let you go If I could change things I would die and return Another name and Knowin' everything I've learned People talkin' People talkin'
All of my life I have tried to get along All I ever hear now Is gossip and waggin' tongues
I have suffered and I've cried myself to sleep I have wandered down these highways and dirty streets Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People tryin' to tear us apart Tryin' to rip out my heart People talkin' People talkin
Livin' is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People talkin People talkin' Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin'
People talkin' People talkin' Keep on walkin' Keep on walkin' People talkin' People talkin'
People Make The World Go Round Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed Performer(s): The Stylistics
Trashmen didn't get my trash today Oh, why? Because they want more pay Buses on strike want a raise in fare So they can help pollute the air
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
Wall Street losin' dough on ev'ry share They're blaming it on longer hair Big men smokin' in their easy chairs On a fat cigar without a care
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
But that's what makes the world go 'round The up and down, the carousel Changing people, they'll go around Go underground, young man People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round People make the world go 'round People make the world go 'round
Sing A Song Of Sunbeams Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James V. Monaco Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Bob Cats; John Scott Trotter
Some search for solace in a sad and somber song And delve into the depths of that dominion While others thrive on things that terrify the throng I guess it's just a matter of opinion
'Cause I say sing a song of sunbeams Let the notes fall where they may Sing a song of sunbeams In a light fantastic way
Show the blues you're busy That you just can't be annoyed And they'll up and go, 'cause they know They're null and void
People all are suckers for a grin You give out, they're gonna give in People always love a jolly gent They might even make you president
Why don't you sing a song of sunbeams Let the notes fall where they may Sing a song of sunbeams In a light fantastic way
Life is never perfect But it isn't always wrong So the only thing to do is sing A sunbeam song
People Like You, People Like Me Composer(s): Gerry Sheppard; John Springate Performer(s): Glitter Band
Let's get together again all you need is here to stay Let's get together again forget about your yesterdays Let's get together again all you need is here to stay
Let's get together again forget about your yesterdays
It's been a very long long time since I last remember seeing you I hope you'll write and say you're fine did you ever sit and dream of a time when we could meet again it's very hard now you're not mine The phone's right next to you and you know just what to do Just pick it up and call my name
Let's get together again all you need is here to stay
Tomorrow's just a step away till I come running back to you I hope you'll stay here by my side; I thought I'd never see My angel back here next to me Promise me that you won't hide The phone's right next to you and you know just what to do
Let's get together again all you need is here to stay
And you know there ain't much time I'm so alone please come home I'm on my own let's get together again
Stop, Mens Legen Er Go' First performance by: Ulla Pia - 1966
Går en pige hjem fra sit første bal Sker det, at hendes ven går blot lidt for vidt Ja, det sker så tit, men hun svarer igen
Stop, ja, stop, ja, stop, mens legen er go' For jeg kan fornemme, at du nok vil glemme At jeg må hjem klokken to Tænk, ja, tænk, ja, tænk om drømmene brast For du ka' vel nok forstå Tiden går helt i stå, når du holder så fast
Lad os bare vandre af sted uden mål eller med Nyde stjernehimmelens ro, den er skabt for os to
Kom, ja, kom, ja, kom, måske si'r jeg top Når tiden er inde til kærlighedspuslespil Det bli'r uden et 'stop'
Lad os bare vandre af sted uden mål eller med Nyde stjernehimmelens ro, den er skabt for os to
Kom, ja, kom, ja, kom, måske si'r jeg top Når tiden er inde til kærlighedspuslespil Det bli'r uden et 'stop'
People Have The Power Composer(s): Patti Smith; Fred "Sonic" Smith Performer(s): Patti Smith
I was dreaming in my dreaming of an aspect bright and fair and my sleeping it was broken but my dream it lingered near in the form of shining valleys where the pure air recognized and my senses newly opened I awakened to the cry that the people / have the power to redeem / the work of fools upon the meek / the graces shower it's decreed / the people rule
The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power
Vengeful aspects became suspect and bending low as if to hear and the armies ceased advancing because the people had their ear and the shepherds and the soldiers lay beneath the stars exchanging visions and laying arms to waste / in the dust in the form of / shining valleys where the pure air / recognized and my senses / newly opened I awakened / to the cry
Refrain
Where there were deserts I saw fountains like cream the waters rise and we strolled there together with none to laugh or criticize and the leopard and the lamb lay together truly bound I was hoping in my hoping to recall what I had found I was dreaming in my dreaming god knows / a purer view as I surrender to my sleeping I commit my dream to you
Refrain
The power to dream / to rule to wrestle the world from fools it's decreed the people rule it's decreed the people rule
Listen I believe everything we dream can come to pass through our union we can turn the world around we can turn the earth's revolution we have the power People have the power ...
Sing a song of sixpence A pocket full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds Baked in a pie When the pie was opened The birds began to sing Was that not a tasty dish To set before a king? The King was in his counting house Counting out his money The Queen was in the parlor Eating bread and honey The Maid was in the garden Hanging out the clothes When down came a blackbird And snapped off her nose!

Die Zeiger Der Uhr First performance by: Margot Eskens - 1966
Du liest noch manchmal die alten Briefe, die er dir schrieb Worin dir jede Zeile sagte: "Ich hab dich lieb" Du schliesst die Augen und träumst von ihm Und vom verlornen Glück
Doch die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück
Du hast noch viele schöne Bilder aus jener Zeit Um diese wunderbaren Jahre tut es dir leid Du schliesst die Augen, träumst von ihm Und vom verlornen Glück
Doch die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück
Du fühlst dich einsam und träumst von gestern Doch du lebst heut Einer wird kommen, der dich von deinen Träumen befreit Du schliesst die Augen Und dann beginnt für dich ein neues Glück
Denn die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück
Die Zeiger der Uhr drehen sich nur Vorwärts, vorwärts und nie zurück

People get ready, there's a train comin' You don't need no baggage, you just get on board All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord
People get ready, there's a train to Jordan Picking up passengers coast to coast Faith is the key, open the doors and board them There's hope for all among those loved the most There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all mankind Just to save his own Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne
People get ready there's a train comin' You don't need no baggage, just get on board All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord

People Are Strange Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
People are strange when you're a stranger Faces look ugly when you're alone Women seem wicked when you're unwanted Streets are uneven when you're down

People are strange when you're a stranger Faces look ugly when you're alone Women seem wicked when you're unwanted Streets are uneven when you're down

Non À Jamais Sans Toi First performance by: Yovanna - 1965
Non - par le temps perdu à n'avoir voulu que toi Non - par le temps passé à ne plus penser qu'à toi Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà Va, tu n'as rien compris Va, tu vois, je ne pleure pas Aujourd'hui je te dis
Non - par les grands chemins revenus de loin pour toi Non - par les nuits d'été qui n'ont fait danser que toi Va, jusqu'au bout de l'horizon Aujourd'hui c'est non
Non - parce qu'un matin ne restera rien de toi Non - il viendra le jour du prochain amour sans toi Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà À jamais sans toi Va, tu vois, c'est demain déjà À jamais sans toi
People Are Funnier Than Anybody Composer(s): Eddie Brandt; Finberg Performer(s): Spike Jones
Everyone say to begin the beguine but no-one she begins him, so I will tell you how First you lift your right leg, like this Then you lift your left leg, like this Then you lift both your legs together, like this There must be an easier way to do this, I think
This is our philosophy This is our philosophy And we're sure, that you'll agree People are funnier that anybody
Woman needs five dollars bad Beauty facial must be had Husband can't spare the money, of course But he puts ten dollars on the nose of a horse
Wife can't see well enough to drive Car through garage-doors twelve foot wide But on husbands suit of grey She can spot a blond hair from a block away
This is our philosophy This is our philosophy And we're sure, that you'll agree People are funnier that anybody
Husband plays poker and enjoys Sitting up all of night with the boys But at home with his wife he'll fight If he has to sit ten minutes with the baby at night
Wife runs faster than any gale When she hears of a one-cent sale "I'm saving you money" to her husband she'll blab But to get to the sale she takes a taxi-cab
This is our philosophy This is our philosophy And we're sure, that you'll agree People are funnier that anybody
Man gets married, says it's one good deal He waited years for a homecooked meal When wife has nice hot dinner on plate He comes home from the poolroom two hours late
When single man kiss his girl goodnight He gets filled with thrilled delight But when husband kiss his wife, to say the least He gets his nose caught in a curler and his whole face greased

People fly People flee People clam and say "it wasn't me" People fish People beef People arm to teeth Yes, you've got people on the tube Walking on the moon People at the bottom of the sea People in tombs People in igloos Even a tribe of pygmies
People are the main spring Turning the world around People, they're the main spring Spinning this world upside down
People sun People toast People tire Chile Other people smoke People bowl People rock people pay to see two people box
Watch me Face me Dress me Baby me Phone me Wire me House me Bug me Fire me
People are the main spring Spinning the world around People, they're the main spring Turning this world inside out
People Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Jule Styne Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
People People who need people Are the luckiest people in the world We're children, needing other children And yet letting a grown-up pride Hide all the need inside Acting more like children than children Lovers are very special people They're the luckiest people in the world With one person one very special person A feeling deep in your soul Says you were half now you're whole No more hunger and thirst But first be a person who needs people People who need people Are the luckiest people in the world With one person one very special person No more hunger and thirst But first be a person who needs people People who need people Are the luckiest people in the world
