Hier encore J'avais vingt ans Je caressais le temps Et jouais de la vie Comme on joue de l'amour Et je vivais la nuit Sans compter sur mes jours Qui fuyaient dans le temps
J'ai fait tant de projets Qui sont restés en l'air J'ai fondé tant d'espoirs Qui se sont envolés Que je reste perdu Ne sachant où aller Les yeux cherchant le ciel Mais le cur mis en terre
Hier encore J'avais vingt ans Je gaspillais le temps En croyant l'arrêter Et pour le retenir Même le devancer Je n'ai fait que courir Et me suis essoufflé
Ignorant le passé Conjuguant au futur Je précédais de moi Toute conversation Et donnais mon avis Que je voulais le bon Pour critiquer le monde Avec désinvolture
Hier encore J'avais vingt ans Mais j'ai perdu mon temps A faire des folies Qui ne me laissent au fond Rien de vraiment précis Que quelques rides au front Et la peur de l'ennui
Car mes amours sont mortes Avant que d'exister Mes amis sont partis Et ne reviendront pas Par ma faute j'ai fait Le vide autour de moi Et j'ai gâché ma vie Et mes jeunes années
Du meilleur et du pire En jetant le meilleur J'ai figé mes sourires Et j'ai glacé mes pleurs Où sont-ils à présent À présent mes vingt ans?

If We All Give A Little Composer(s): Ralph Siegel - Bernd Meinunger First performance by: Six4One - 2006
Everybody has a dream What will come and what will be And hopes it soon will be reality
But a dream is not enough There's so much we gotta do To overcome that bitter blue
'Cause we all know one hand alone Can never move a rock of stone It takes us all, me and you
If we all give a little If we all give a little We can make this world a home for everyone If we all give a little We can dry a million tears And some hope will grow out of many fears
Everybody has some strength They could spend on someone weak Don't let life be a game of hide and seek
Everyone has things to give To someone just to carry on A little help to overcome
We all have learned a word alone Will never touch a heart of stone It takes much more, more of us
If we all give a little If we all give a little We can make this world a home for everyone If we all give a little (If we all) We can dry a million tears (Give a little) And some hope will grow out of many fears
If we give a little love Just believe it's really worth Many million hearts are beating on this earth
If we all give a little If we all give a little We can make this world a home for everyone (For everyone) If we all give a little We can dry a million tears
And some hope will grow (It will grow forever) Out of many fears (If we stand together) If we give a little, just a little (If we give a little love) Give a little love
If we all give a little (Just a little love) All give a little (A little) love
Hideaway Composer(s): Steve Harley Performer(s): Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway
It was summer or maybe spring, I can't remember It was summer or maybe spring, I can't recall We found our hearts and stole them from our bodies (We couldn't understand the Villain's call) We'd often recall the beginnings We'd often try in vain to change it all We couldn't help but keep ourselves from sinning In summer, in summer or maybe spring, or maybe spring, or maybe spring
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway
It was summer or maybe spring, I can't remember It was summer or maybe spring, I can't recall We'd try to always calm our elders (But always we did seems to fall) We'd never try to tame the burning embers (It didn't seem to matter how we'd fare) It seemed we couldn't ever escape December But it was summer, summer, or maybe spring, or maybe spring, maybe spring
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway
Starlight And Music Composer(s): Maurice Hart - Alexander Hoffmann - Walter Kent Performer(s): Glenn Miller; Ray Eberle

Hide Your Heart Composer(s): Desmond Child; Paul Stanley; Holly Knight Performer(s): Ace Frehley; and various other artists
Johnny saw her ridin' on a streetcar named "desire" His fate was sealed She could see him comin' like a hundred other liars It was no big deal Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town Tito, he was king of the streets She was his possession like a jewel on his crown Johnny better run, better run? Better hide your heart Better hold on tight Better say your prayers Cause there's trouble tonight When pride and love battle with desire Better hide your heart Cause you're playing with fire The ride was over but the story doesn't end He took her heart She looked him in the eye And said they couldn't meet again You could see the trouble start The word went out that Rosa's missing with someone It was on the street Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun Johnny better run, better run? Johnny's holding Rosa on a rooftop in the night As time stood still They couldn't hear him coming Till he had them both in sight You could feel the chill A shot rang out like thunder And the blood was on her hands With nothing won When someone lies there dying Lovers finally understand
Quand Tout S'enfuit First performance by: Aline Lahoud - 2005
Quand tout s'enfuit Quand tout bascule dans l'oubli Quand il n'y a rien Qu'un froid soleil au déclin Quand l'hiver noie ses pleures Dans mes nuits qui se meurent
Toi seul, tu es là A gravé dans mon coeur ton image Comme dans un bouquin Qui n'a dans ces pages qu'une page Et je sais pourtant qu'un de ces jours Quand on n'aura jamais le temps pour notre amour
Quand tout s'en va Il y aura toi, y aura moi Il y aura des jours, des tous jours pour t'aimer Oh, mon amour
Et moi, je suis là, tout près de toi De tout ce qui te ressemble Mais moi, je serai là pour finir ensemble ce long voyage Et t'aimer, et t'aimer d'avantage À tout jamais, à tout jamais
Et je sais pourtant qu'un de ces jours Quand on n'aura jamais le temps pour notre amour
Hide In Your Shell Composer(s): Rick Davies; Roger Hodges Performer(s): Supertramp
Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride What will you gain making your life a little longer? Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel? Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a stranger Too beautiful to put your pride in danger Youre waiting for someone to understand you But youve got demons in your closet And youre screaming out to stop it Saying lifes begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you scramble for
Dont let the tears linger on inside now Cos its sure time you gained control If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know Well, let me show you the nearest signpost To get your heartback and on the road If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know
All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tight What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you? I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening- the fires getting colder Too beautiful- to think youre getting older Youre looking for someone to give an answer But what you see is just an illusio Youre surrounded by confusion Saying lifes begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for Dont let teh tears... ... just let me know I wanna know... I wanna know you... Well let me know you I wanna feel you I wanna touch you Please let me near you Can you hear what Im saying? Well Im hoping, Im dreamin, Im prayin I know what youre thinkin See what youre seein Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down Why dya hold yourself down? Why dont you listen, you can Trust me Theres a place I know the way to A place there is need to feel you Feel that youre alone Hear me I know exactly what youre feelin Cos all your troubles are whithin you Please begin to see that Im just bleeding to Love me, love you Loving is the way to Help me, help you - why must we be so cool, oh so cool? Oh, were such damn fools...

Hide And Seek Composer(s): S.K. Linwood; Darryl Way Performer(s): Curved Air
Night time come and lay and hide and seek (I have got to find you) Streets to search and I am here alone (Try to doubt the unknown) *Walk in the streets A call your name And no one comes Running through the town I call your name I know no one here
Shadows forming where the night begins (Just the breeze comes in) Doors all closed and window curtains drawn (All the people are gone) (* Repeat)
Doors all closed and window curtains drown (All the people are gone) Streets deserted and I am here alone (Try to doubt the unknown)
Starkville City Jail Composer(s): Johnny Cash First recording/First release by: Johnny Cash - 1969
Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees
I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze I found myself surrounded; one policeman said: "That's him Come along, wild flower child Don't you know that it's two a.m."
They're bound to get you 'Cause they got a curfew And you go to the Starkville City jail
Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town I said: "What the hell did I do?" He said: "Shut up and sit down"
Well, they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks I said: "Wait, my name is..." "Awe shut up" Well, I sure was in a fix
The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night I said: "Come back here, you so and so; I ain't bein' treated right"
Well, they're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew And you go to the Starkville City Jail
I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my cell I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came
Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name At 8 a.m. they let me out I said: "Gimme them things of mine!" They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick, and a yellow dandelion
They're bound to get you, 'cause they got a curfew And you go to the Starkville City Jail
