Amoureuse Ou Pas ((aka Toc Toc Toc (by Tina Banon) - 1969)) ((Adapted from: A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Everyday) (by Martha & The Vandellas) - 1963)) Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland - Axelle Red Performer(s): Axelle Red - 1993
Personne n'a le droit... Non non de blouser qui que ce soit Amoureuse de toi Amoureuse de lui... aussi On n'a pas toujours le choix
Qui ne t'avait jamais vu pleurer? Qui pourrait croire à ton indifférence? Mais quelque part je sais Que derrière ce regard se cache ma sentence
Au fond c'est toi, toi que j'aime
Si seulement je pouvais t'en parler Me faire comprendre ou me faire engueuler Amoureuse ou pas...
Hound Dog Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Performer(s): Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton; and various other artists
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
When they said you was high classed well, that was just a lie When they said you was high classed well, that was just a lie You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
Quiet moments at the edge of the sea Silence washing like a wave over me I can't help smiling when I think Of how you've come to be Such a strong part of me
I watch you sleeping In the gray light of dawn Half the covers off And half of them on And I can't help feeling I'm part Of some grand design And a love beyond time
I trace your cheekbone With the edge of my thumb I taste your shoulder With the tip of my tongue I smell the fragrance in your hair Of the sun and sea Of the sun on the sea
I watch the play of light And shade on your skin I hear you whisper That you want me again. And I rise to greet your grateful lips Once again with mine And a love beyond time
No one could ever love you more No one could ever love you more than I No soul could ever shelter yours No soul could ever shelter yours like mine Though the world may rage around us We're safe within the storm With a love beyond time With a love beyond time
Now we've both known Our share of failures before We both drove Our share of ships on the shore We both know the cost Of dreaming too hard, too high Of dreaming too high
But now it seems That every step that we missed Was just a trick of fate To lead us to this When we can share The taste of something that's so sublime As a love beyond time
No one could ever love you more No one could ever love you more than I No soul could ever shelter yours No soul could ever shelter yours like mine Though the world may rage around us We're safe within the storm With a love beyond time With a love beyond time
Houden Van Jou Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Andy Free Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Kil is de nacht Verlangen naar jou is diep Met een hart dat op je wacht Voel ik vlagen van romantiek Dat ik naar jou verlang Maakt me zo rusteloos Het is zo stil hier zonder jou Was jij maar hier Voor altijd hier Dit is alleen maar een teken Dat ik m'n grenzen heb verlegd Soms is het moeilijk schat En klopt het heengaan nog Maar als de pijn er is dan zeg ik toch
Houden van jou Ik wil m'n leven lang houden van jou één en ware liefde, trouw zijn aan jou Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld Diep in de hemel Houden van jou In alle hevigheid houden van jou Met alle levenskracht leven voor jou Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld Diep in de hemel Neem de tijd en vertel me hoe jij ook ons samenzijn ziet Vertel me van een geluk van een toekomst die jij me biedt Ik besef dat wij moeten sterk zijn Met ons tweeën jij en ik Ik nooit het spoor verlies En met twee harten leef vanaf nu Met jou elk ogenblik Houden van jou Ik wil m'n leven lang houden van jou Een en ware liefde trouw zijn aan jou Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld Diep in de hemel Houden van jou In alle eeuwigheid houden van jou Met alle levenskracht leven voor jou Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld Diep in de hemel Houden van jou Ik wil m'n leven lang houden van jou Een en ware liefde trouw zijn aan jou Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld Diep in de hemel Houden van jou
Quand j'étais jeune j'adorais Gary Cooper Et le sourire du très grand Burt Lancaster Mais Jack Palance venait hanter mes nuits Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy
Randolph Scott était mon meilleur ami Car je tirais presque aussi bien que lui Quand Richard Widmark nous cherchait des ennuis Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy
Mes héros subissent La gloire ou l'oubli Quant à moi je suis Le cow-boy De service
Robert Mitchum me buvait tout mon whisky Et grâce à lui j'étais toujours sain d'esprit Malgré John Wayne qui m'entraînait lui aussi Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy
Des héros simplistes Made in Italie Et western spaghetti Font de moi Un raciste
Je sais très bien que mon enfance est finie Je n'ai pas envie d'être adulte aujourd'hui Je préfère aller retrouver mes amis Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy Je préfère aller retrouver mes amis Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy

Hou Hou Méfions-Nous Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
On s'était connu à Pigalle Chez la femme d'un député Chez la femme d'un député Qui avait le goût du scandale Étant de la majorité Étant de la majorité Avec sa barbe et son teint pâle Ses cheveux pendant sur le cou Ses cheveux pendant sur le cou Son vieux blue-jean et ses sandales Il paraissait vraiment dans l'coup Il paraissait vraiment dans l'coup
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
Il m'entraîna tout feu tout flamme A une grande manifestation A une grande manifestation De celles qui rassemblent à Paname La fine fleur de la nation La fine fleur de la nation Allons faire la révolution S'écrie mon étrange quidam S'écrie mon étrange quidam Foutons les banquiers au violon Foutons le feu à Notre-Dame Foutons le feu à Notre-Dame
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
On va faire chanter le plastic Aux oreilles du grand patron Aux oreilles du grand patron Rugit mon barbu frénétique En fouillant dans son pantalon En fouillant dans son pantalon Devant le peuple médusé Il n'en sortit qu'un étendard Il n'en sortit qu'un étendard On rigolait à l'Elysée C'était râpé pour le grand Soir C'était râpé pour le grand Soir
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
Voyant sa tactique faillir V'là qu'il m'invite à boire un coup V'là qu'il m'invite à boire un coup Dans sa chambre pour mieux saisir La pensée de Mao Tsé-Toung La pensée de Mao Tsé-Toung Dieu seul sait quel fut mon supplice Quand je lui grimpai sur le dos Quand je lui grimpai sur le dos Mais pour une fois que la police On peut la baiser comme il faut On peut la baiser comme il faut
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
L'assaut fut sans doute si rude Qu'il partit les jambes à son cou Qu'il partit les jambes à son cou En qualifiant mon attitude De trop avant-garde à son goût De trop avant-garde à son goût Depuis qu'on sait son aventure Jusqu'au revers de la médaille Jusqu'au revers de la médaille Il paraît qu'à la préfecture Y'a des volontaires en pagaille Y'a des volontaires en pagaille
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout...
A White Sport Coat (And A Pink Carnation) Composer(s): Marty Robbins First recording/First release by: Marty Robbins & Ray Conniff - 1957 Covered by multiple other artists
A white sportcoat and a pink carnation I'm all dressed up for the dance A white sportcoat and a pink carnation I'm all alone in romance
Once you told me long ago To the prom with me you'd go Now you've changed your mind it seems Someone else will hold my dreams
A white sportcoat and a pink carnation I'm in a blue blue mood
Once you told me long ago To the prom with me you'd go Now you've changed your mind it seems Someone else will hold my dreams
A white sportcoat and a pink carnation I'm in a blue blue mood
A Lot Of Good Composer(s): Waylon Jennings - Troy Seals - Bobby Emmons Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
As I watched the tail lights disappear Suddenly it got real lonely here I know the words I could have said To make her turn around But a lot of good it's gonna do me now
I could have started with I'm sorry And really meant it from the heart The rest would have been easy Together in the dark
We could have found that old time feeling That we lost somewhere somehow But a lot of good it's gonna do me now
Still thinking about the things I could have said And looking at her picture by the bed I realized just what I've lost as I pulled the covers down But a lot of good it's gonna do me now
I could have told her I was sorry And really meant it from the heart The rest would have been easy Together in the dark
We could have found that old time feeling That we lost somewhere somehow But a lot of good it's gonna do me now A lot of good it's gonna do me now
Hots On For Nowhere Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant Performer(s): Led Zeppelin; Nicklebag; Van Halen
I was burned in the heat of the moment No, it could've been the heat of the day When I learned how my time had been wasted Dear fellows, I turned away Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder When I should happen to fall Time and his bride growing older I've got friends who will give me fuck-all
Corner of Bleeker and nowhere In the land of not quite day A shiver runs down my backbone The face in the mirror turns grey So, I looked 'round for a hitch from a reindeer Said you oughta find him out in the day I turned 'round to look for the snowman To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah
La, la, la,...
The moon and the stars out of order As the tide tends to ebb and sway The sun in my soul's sinking lower While the hope in my hands turns to clay I don't ask that my feet fall on clover I don't roam at opportunity's door Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower Then your story'd be your finest reward
Lost on the path to attainment Search in the eyes of the wise When I bled from the heart of the matter I started bleeding without a disguise Now everything's finally happened Now and then you've got to take time to pause When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around You can land in a boat without oars
La, la, la,...
Hey babe, Hey babe Hey babe, I lost my way Hey babe, Hey babe I really, really did now Hey babe, Hey babe I don't know where I'm gonna find it Hey babe, Hey babe Do you wanna know Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah
Let me tell you now, babe Let me tell you That it feels so good that it must be right C'mon babe Let me tell you That it feels so good that it must be right C'mon babe Let me tell you If it feels, if it feels, if it feels if it feels so good, so good, so good Oh, yeah
A Long Time, A Long Way To Go Composer(s): Todd Rundgren Performer(s): Todd Rundgren
It's a long time and a long way to go What was once mine isn't mine anymore All my fears you would not find me All behind me It's a long way and a long time to come When our hearts stray and the troubles begun I'll forget it if you make me Please just take me if you will I know that if you will Nothing you can say could block my way Nothing you can do to make me not want you And love you for a long time It's a long time and a long way to go But in my mind there is one thing I know For as long as we're together Love forever
A Long Time Gone Composer(s): Jeff Lynne Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
Seems like forever and time left to spare When I look out the window And still you're not there You're a long time gone Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why Every day that I Think about you still And I always will
Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why Every day that I Think about you still And I always will
You're a long time gone
Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why You're a long time gone You never did I never said goodbye You're a long time gone

A Long Time Ago Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Seems like such a long time ago I was walking on a lonely road Getting tired of dreaming alone like all the lonely people I had known
Seems like such a long time ago there was no one who would share my song I was just a boy far from home but I became a man when you came along
We spent the whole night talking You said you'd like to see the sun rise But in the gold of morning was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
I was so afraid to touch you thought you were too young, you know So I just watched you sleeping Then you woke and said to me The night is cold, it frightens me I could sleep so easy next to you
Wasn't very long ago you said that you would like to share my role Then you started singing my song Spent so many nights a-waiting Lets not spend a moments wasting time because we have very far to go I will go if you will take me I have never had a lover I am young but I am so alone
We spent the whole night talking But in the gold of morning....
Hotel California Composer(s): Don Felder; Glenn Frey; Don Henley Performer(s): The Eagles; and various other artists
On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas Rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself This could be Heaven or this could be Hell Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely place (background) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year Any time of year (background) You can find it here You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted She's got the Mercedes bends She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember Some dance to forget So I called up the Captain Please bring me my wine He said We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 And still those voices are calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely Place Such a lovely Place (background) Such a lovely face They're livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise What a nice surprise (background) Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling Pink champagne on ice And she said We are all just prisoners here Of our own device And in the master's chambers They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before Relax said the nightman We are programed to recieve You can check out any time you like But you can never leave
Tell me you love me again but this time slowly 'Cause you're talkin' too fast, baby much too fast Come on and squeeze me again but this time slowly 'Cause I like your grasp but it's much too fast
You said that our love will grow together 'Cause your mine all mine But dynamite love won't grow an inch If you don't take your time
Come on and kiss me again but this time slowly Not so fast, make it last
You said that our love will grow together 'Cause your mine all mine But dynamite love won't grow an inch If you don't take your time
Come on and kiss me again but this time slowly Not so fast, make it last, you're talkin' too fast Honey make it last, oh, not so fast, yeah
Well I ain't bragging, but you know it's true That I live my life making music for you I've had some good times and I've had some bad But I'd do it all again and I wouldn't be sad
Well I lived in the house of joy and I lived in the house of gloom But if I don't die playing on stage I'm gonna die in this hotel room
Well I've been riding in them limousines And I've had my pictures in the magazines I've had some good girls and I've had some bad And I've had the ones that nearly drive you mad
Well I lived in the house of joy and I lived in the house of gloom But if I don't die playing on stage I'm gonna die in this hotel room
Well my manager keeps telling me You've gotta keep on working to survive He's constantly reminding me the fact that making money ain't no jive
I've traveled this wide world And I've sang my blues And I've played everything from jazz to Blue Suede Shoes I've played 'em in downtown I've played to rednecks I've slayed 'em in one town, and I've died in the next
Well I lived in the house of joy And I lived in the house of gloom But if I don't die playing on stage brother I'm gonna, 0 you know what I'm talking about Take me home ....

A Long And Lasting Love Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Michael Masser Performer(s): Crystal Gayle and multiple other artists
A long and lasting love Not many people find it But those who do their whole life through Put their heart and soul behind it A long and lasting love A long and lasting love Is what I've always dreamed of And when I look into your eyes I knew I'd really seen love A long and lasting love Chorus: We got a once in a lifetime All the dreams we've waited for Are just beginning to come true It happens once in a lifetime When you find that special girl Who knows the meaning of love like you A long and lasting love We share for many reasons A special bond That goes beyond the changing of the seasons A long and lasting love A long and lasting love Is what I've always dreamed of I knew I'd really seen love A long and lasting love Is what I've always dreamed of My long and lasting love
