Comé Comédie Composer(s): Frédéric Botton First performance by: Betty Mars - 1972
Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit En amour c'est toujours comme ça Come come comédie Une chanson qu'on oublie Mais un jour il reviendra Quelques pages d'une vie Qu'on effeuille et c'est ainsi Que la Terre tournera Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit Quand on s'aime toi et moi
Notre histoire s'écrit en deux mots Je t'aime, tu m'aimes Quoi de plus beau? Pourquoi faut-il s'en défendre? Pourquoi chercher à comprendre? Puisqu'on chante aussitôt
Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit Le bonheur n'est jamais si simple Come come comédie Les faits faux aujourd'hui Pourraient être vrais demain Le temps d'orage ou bien la pluie Les chagrins et les soucis Après tout cela n'est rien Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit Ces trois notes à mon refrain Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit En amour c'est toujours comme ça Come come comédie L'on dit non puis on dit oui En regardant quelquefois Quelque part je dis la vie Qu'on effeuille et c'est ainsi Que la Terre tournera Come come comédie Comme comme comme on dit Autant que l'on s'aimera Come come comédie Comme comme on dit
Skin I'm In Composer(s): Larry Blackmon Performer(s): Cameo
Who's the face in the mirror That I see sometimes confused By the double-standards of society And maybe I'm wrong about the way I feel But then, will somebody tell me What is really real
Now, I respect myself, I respect you too But in the end it's got to be Do unto me as I do to you Now I'm trying to tell you it's time Somewhere and I walk to my design Somewhere in the truth from my life To live like people so inspired
As the waters out to sea Let's simply respect humanity One time seem to be We're getting it together, it's for real If we have truth we can't survive And for that our forefathers have died It should be immoral or a sin If it is according to the skin I'm in Skin I'm in
Tell me how many times How many times can I adjust my attitude To reach and touch the sky Is it love or decree by which I live But then sometimes I wonder Just how much a man can give
Truth and justice that's around me From the highest levels of power And you think these are the people I depend on for my survival Is this for real Or am I seeing shadows in the dark I let you tell me, tell me Can you tell me brother
Peaceful waters out to see And simply respect humanity I'm just trying to be realistic But now I'm becoming pessimistic At least I know we can survive A damn good reason to stay alive Is it immortal or a sin It shouldn't be according to the skin I'm in
It's the waters out to sea Basic respect to humanity I'm just trying to be for real In a world with less appeal At first they seem to fluster At what's happening to justice Is it immoral or a sin If it is according to the skin I'm in Skin I'm in
Pince-Moi, J'hallucine Composer(s): F. Laumont; P. Besombes; C. Creuset; X. Thibault Performer(s): Annie Cordy
Entrée par erreur Au musée des horreurs Je m'fais des frayeurs J'entends battre mon cur Les esprits frappeurs Sont-ils à l'intérieur Et s'ils sont ailleurs Qu'ils cognent comme un boxeur
Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, y a quelque chose qui m'turlupine Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, je nage dans l'hémoglobine Ahhhhhh! y a des fantômes Y a des sorcières Y a de l'Halloween dans l'air
Salle des étrangleurs D'où vient donc cette odeur? Je sens qu'j'ai mes vapeurs Je m'éclipse en douceur Deux trois embaumeurs M'regardent inquisiteurs Tu parles d'une demeure Si j'en sors pas... je meurs Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, Y a quelque chose qui m'turlupine Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, je nage dans l'hémoglobine Y a des fantômes! Y a des sorcières! Y a de l'Halloween dans l'air! Et tous ces sque-squelettes Qui cli-cli-quettent Je m'demande c'qui ont dans la tê-tête Y a des fantômes! Y a des sorcières! Y a de l'Halloween dans l'air!
Un rire massacreur Résonne avec ardeur Comble de terreur Minuit sonne, quel malheur Je crois qu'c'est l'éventreur Ah ! sacré farceur Je change de couleur J'te dis pas... ça fait peur!
Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas... Y a quelque chose qui m'turlupine Pince-moi, j'hallucine J'rêve pas, je nage dans l'hémoglobine Pince-moi... ad lib
Nur Die Liebe Läßt Uns Leben First performance by: Mary Roos - 1972
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben Tage im hellen Sonnenschein kann nur sie allein uns geben nur wer liebt, wird niemals einsam sein
Wir warten und wir hoffen und wir träumen der Tag vergeht und nimmt die Träume mit Die Nacht ist lang und du bist nicht bei mir doch mein Herz, es findet seinen Weg zu dir
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben alles vergessen und verzeih'n dann wird jeder dir vergeben nur wer liebt wird niemals einsam sein
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben Tage im hellen Sonnenschein kann nur sie allein uns geben nur wer liebt, wird niemals einsam sein
Ich wußte, daß die Wege, die wir gehen verworren sind, und daß es Tränen gibt Das zählt nicht mehr hast du das nicht gesehen du wirst die Straße deiner Sehnsucht geh'n
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben alles vergessen und verzeih'n dann wird wieder dir vergeben nur wer liebt wird niemals einsam sein
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben Tage im hellen Sonnenschein kann nur sie allein uns geben nur wer liebt, wird niemals einsam sein
Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben Tage im hellen Sonnenschein kann nur sie allein uns geben nur wer liebt, wird niemals einsam sein
Pinball Wizard Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist How do you think he does it I don't know What makes him so good
Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes or bells Don't see lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell Always gets a replay, never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
I thought I was the Bally table king But I just handed my pinball crown to him
Even on my favourite table, he can beat my best His disciples lean him in and he just does the rest He's got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Sun Palace
Meanwhile back in the year One when you belonged to no-one you didn't stand a chance son if your pants were undone 'Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society one day you'll wake up in the Present Day a million generations removed from expectations of being who you really want to be Skating away, skating away skating away on the thin ice of the New Day
So as you push off from the shore won't you turn your head once more and make your peace with everyone? For those who choose to stay will live just one more day to do the things they should have done And as you cross the wilderness spinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray Looking for a sign that the Universal Mind has written you into the Passion Play Skating away, skating away skating away on the thin ice of the New Day
And as you cross the circle line the ice-wall creaks behind you're a rabbit on the run And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye shining in the setting sun Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense? Or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience? Skating away, skating away skating away on the thin ice of the New Day
Pinball Composer(s): Brian Protheroe Performer(s): Brian Protheroe; Matt Deighton
And I've run out of pale ale And I feel like I'm in jail And my music bores me once again And I've been on the pinball And I know longer know it all And they say that you never know when you're insane
Got fleas in my bedroom Got flies in my bathroom And the cat just finished off the bread So I walk over Soho And I read about Monroe And I wonder was she really what they said
Got a call from a good friend Come on down for the weekend Didn't know if I could spare the time I knew a woman who was crazy About a boy who was lazy But it didn't work out 'cos they just couldn't make it rhyme
Hey Jude you were alright I could have grooved with you all night But you turned your back on the party game Mama if I keep my head clean Will I really have a good dream Or will I wake up in confusion just the same
And I've run out of pale ale And I feel like I'm in jail Got fleas in the bedroom Got flies in the bathroom Got a call from a good friend Come on down for the weekend Hey Jude you were alright I could have grooved with you all night
And I've been on the pale ale And I feel like a pinball

Pin a medal on Joey He stole your love from me Pin a medal on Joey He set my poor heart free No more cryin' about a love that was untrue Oh-ho, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Hip hooray for that Joey For bein' good to me Hip hooray for that Joey He took my misery No more heartache will I be givin' you Oh-ho, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Chorus: Told him all about you Told him how you lied But Joey won't believe me He thinks I'm a jealous guy-eye
Pin a medal on Joey For bein' such a fool Pin a medal on Joey He won a heart that's cruel He'll be sorry when you break his heart in two Oh-ho, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Told him all about you Told him how you lied But Joey won't believe me He thinks I'm a jealous guy-eye
Pin a medal on Joey For bein' such a fool Pin a medal on Joey He won a heart that's cruel He'll be sorry when you break his heart in two Oh-ho, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Skateaway Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits
I seen a girl on a one-way corridor Stealin' down a wrong-way street For all the world like an urban toreador She had wheels on her feet - on her feet Well the cars do the usual dances Same old cruise and the curbside crawl But the rollergirl - she's takin' chances Just love to see her take them on
No fears, alone at night - she's sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playin' loud
Hallelujah - here she comes - Queen Roller Ball Enchante - what can I say? Carry on You know she used to have to wait around She used to be the lonely one But now that she been skatin' around town She's the only one
No fears, alone at night - she's sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playin' loud
She gets rock n roll, from the rock n roll station In a rock n roll dream She's making movies on location She don't know what it means And the music make her wanna be the story And the story was whatever was the song - what it was Rollergirl - don't worry DJ play the movies - all night long
She tortures taxi drivers just for fun She like to read their lips Says: "Toro, toro, taxi - see 'ya tomorrow my son -" She just let a big truck graze her hip She got her own world in the city - yeah! Ain't that true - Lord I know - She got her own world in the city The city's bein' so... rude to her
Slippin' and a-slidin' Yeah, life's a roller ball Slippin' and a-slidin' Skateaway - that's all Skateaway Shala shalay, hey hey, skateaway She's singin' shala shalay, hey hey Skateaway
El Pimiento Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara; Quilapayún
En el centro de la pampa vive un pimiento sol y viento pa' su vida sol y viento Coronado por la piedra vive el pimiento luna y viento lo vigilan luna y viento Cuando sus ramas florecen es un incencio tanto rojo que derrama rojo entero Rojo entero
Nadie lo ve trabajar debajo'el suelo cuando busca noche y dia y alimento Pimiento rojo del norte atacameño siento el canto de tus ramas en el desierto Debes seguir floreciendo como un incendio porque al norte todo tuyo todo entero Todo entero
Tie Uuteen Päivään Composer(s): Rauno Lehtinen Markku Aro & Koivistolaiset - 1971
On pala maata ja pala vettä ja pala tulta polttavaa On ihmismieli ja paha kieli ei tahdo tulta sammuttaa
Tuo kaikki meidät uuteen päivään johtaa Nyt onko syytä surra tulevaa kun muita tiellä kulkevia kohtaa ja kaikki on niin mukavaa Nyt sinne uuteen päivään kaikki kulkee ja toiset näyttää mistä löytyy tie Jos kerran silmät huomiselta sulkee, tie helppo mukanaan jo vie
Maailma valmis jo on Tieto muuttumaton nyt ohjailee Aika niin mittaamaton meitä palveltuaan joko loppunut on
Kun yksi ottaa ja toinen antaa ja kolmas huutaa janoissaan Et tunne heitä, ei hekään meitä ja samaa tietä kuljetaan
Tuo kaikki meidät uuteen päivään johtaa Nyt onko syytä surra tulevaa kun muita tiellä kulkevia kohtaa ja kaikki on niin mukavaa Nyt sinne uuteen päivään kaikki kulkee ja toiset näyttää mistä löytyy tie Jos kerran silmät huomiselta sulkee, tie helppo mukanaan jo vie
Nyt sinne uuteen päivään kaikki kulkee ja toiset näyttää mistä löytyy tie Jos kerran silmät huomiselta sulkee tie helppo mukanaan jo vie
Pilou Pilou Hé Composer(s): Louis Amade; Gilbert Bécaud Performer(s): Dalida
Pilou, Pilou, Pilou hé Moi j'attends le jour ou j'irai Au pays qu'a un joli nom
Tu me crois ou tu ne me crois pas Mais tout est plein de mimosa Au pays qu'a un joli nom
À genoux ou ou sur les mains, ou sur les mains peut-être bien À genoux ou ou sur les mains je peux te le franchir ce chemin Je m'en irais aux quatre vents sur une barque de bois blanc Au pays qu'a un joli nom
Pilou, pilou, pilou hé Moi J'attends le jour ou j'aurai J'aurai mes prés et mes moissons
À genoux ou ou sur les mains, ou sur les mains peut-être bien À genoux ou ou sur les mains je veux te le franchir ce chemin Ce chemin de quatre printemps nous le grimperons en chantant Pour fabriquer notre maison
Pilou, pilou, pilou hé Je nous vois comme si j'y étais le soleil a toujours raison À genoux ou ou sur les mains, ou sur les mains peut-être bien À genoux ou ou sur les mains je veux te le franchir ce chemin Tu le crois ou tu ne le crois pas Jésus ne porte plus sa croix Au pays qu'a un joli nom, au pays qu'a un joli nom
