Hour Glass Composer(s): Tony Collacott; Jack Mowbray; Breen Leoeuf Performer(s): Elton John
I'm just sitting counting all the cobwebs And wondering just when you'll come along You said that you'd be here an hour ago But an hour ago is hours ago from then
No, and I don't know what to do I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe And the sand in the hour glass slips on by
Light another cigarette, watch the burning glow Catching spiders in my hand, and then I let them go Imagine pictures on the wall, watch the insects where they crawl They don't care about you and I've nothing to do
Maybe the bus didn't get there on time Maybe the train doesn't run on that line for some reason And she might not come Because she doesn't want to see you again No no no, that can't be true And I've got nothing to do
A Love Of Your Own Composer(s): Ned Doheny - Hamish Stuart Performer(s): Average White Band and multiple other artists

The sooner you give, the sooner you get to have A love of your own As far as you go, you're never too far behind A love of your own
Now don't you be afraid to shoot the moon You'll never know till you try it Don't deny it to yourself Don't you be afraid to change your tune, ooh The offer's always open, you know I'm always hoping You know I'm always hoping
For, A love of My own, to shelter me from the cold A love of My own, A love of My own you never too far behind A love of your own You've got to keep looking till you find A love of your own A love of your own You've got to keep looking till you find A love of your own
Houpetta La Bella Composer(s): André Bourvil; Etienne Lorin; C. François Performer(s): André Bourvil
Dans les montagnes en maraude La fille du contrebandier Sur son p'tit ân' portait en fraude Du tabac dans son petit panier Elle chantait la ritournelle Qu'un gars avait faite pour ell'...
Oh! hé!, oh! hé! Ell' s'app'lait Houpetta Petta-ci, petta-là Petta-haut, petta-bas Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta, la mia bella Sur son ân' elle allait Petta-ci, petta-là Petta-haut, petta-bas Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-bella De sa voix fraîche elle chantait: coucou! Au loin l'écho lui répondait: coucou! Quand le petit âne faisait, hi! han! Au loin l'écho lui répondait: la même chose Coucou-ci, coucou-là Petta-ci, petta-là L'écho mêlait tout ça A la belle Houpetta Ah! ah! ah! ..........
Mais un beau jour elle se fit prendre Par un douanier, un bien beau gars Qui lui a pris sans plus attendre Tout ce qu'elle avait comme tabac En pleurant la contrebandière Lui dit: "ne me fais pas d'misèr's" Oh! hé!, oh! hé! Je m'appelle Houpetta Petta-ci, petta-là Petta-haut, petta-bas Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta, la mia bella Je ne veux pas qu'tu touch's à mon paquet d' tabac Je t'en prie, je n'veux pas Ce n'est pas, ce n'est pas Ce n'est pas, ce n'est pas Ce n'est pas ta tabatière Mais le douanier lui, il a dit: "je dois" Et tout de suite l'écho répondit
Rien parce qu'il n'avait pas crié assez fort
Alors finalement elle lui a dit: "ben, le v'la" Mais pour s'moquer d'ell' il répondit: "merci! j'fum'pas" C'est ainsi qu'Houpetta Sauva tout son tabac Le petit ân' trotta Emmena Houpetta Ah! ah! ah! ...
A Whole New World ((Dutch Version: Een Nieuw Begin (Garry Hagger & Sophia) - 1998)) Composer(s): Tim Rice - Alan Menken First performance by: Brad Kane & Lea Salonga - 1992 Covered by multiple other artists
I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us no Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world A dazzling place I never knew But when I'm way up here It's crystal clear That now I'm in a whole new world with you Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world Don't you dare close your eyes A hundred thousand things to see Hold your breath - it gets better I'm like a shooting star I've come so far I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world Every turn a surprise With new horizons to pursue Every moment red-letter I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world That's where we'll be A thrilling chase A wondrous place For you and me

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
