Avec Ou Sans Toi ((Adapted from: All Out Of Love (by Air Supply) - 1980)) Composer(s): Graham Russell - Clive Davis - Patrick Loiseau Performer(s): Dave - 1981
Les larmes d'un homme ne regardent personne C'est une question de pudeur Je tiendrai debout, courageux jusqu'au bout Sans laisser flancher mon coeur Tu peux partir tranquille, ce n'est pas mon style De fermer la cage aux oiseaux Envole-toi vers ton île Les adieux difficiles N'aie pas peur, je t'en fais cadeau Je t'en fais cadeau!
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce bon vieux monde
Surtout ne t'inquiète pas, j'suis plus un enfant Je m'en sortirai comme un grand J'travaillerai beaucoup, on s'habitue à tout Il suffit d'le vouloir vraiment Je sais qu't'es pressée mais, avant d'me laisser Souris-moi une dernière fois On peut s'embrasser, le plus dur est passé Va-t'en et ne t'en fais pas T'en fais pas!
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce bon vieux monde
Que reste-t-il d'un homme? Que reste-t-il d'un homme Quand il n'a plus personne? Quand il n'a plus personne
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde
All Our Dreams Are Sold Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Robin Trower Performer(s): Procol Harum
Rings upon your fingers Bells upon your toes Evry days a game of chance Evry body knows In the kings apartment Heavy lies the crown There must be a thousand ways To bring that castle down
Wave the mighty dollar Make us live again Lead and we will follow Faithful to the end Wave the mighty dollar Pave the streets with gold Lead us by the collar All our dreams are sold
Rings upon your finger Stardust in your hair Jumping through that wall of fire All for the market share In the kings apartment Desperate human greed Try to find a diffrent way Satisfy that need
Wave the mighty dollar Make us live again Lead and we will follow Faithful to the end Wave the mighty dollar Pave the streets with gold Lead us by the collar All our dreams are sold
Why Walk When You Can Fly Composer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter; and various other artists
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby In this world there's a whole lot of pain In this world there's a whole lot of trouble But a whole lot of ground to gain Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow In this world there's a whole lot of shame In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow And a whole lotta ground to gain When you spend your whole life wishing, wanting and wondering why It's a long enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of cold In this world there's a whole lot of blame In this world you've a soul for a compass And a heart for a pair of wings There's a star on the far horizon, rising bright in an azure sky For the rest of the time that you're given, why walk when you can fly
All Our Days Composer(s): Sandy Denny First release by: Sandy Denny - 1977
We search for everything Keeping what we would win Orchids or tiny flowers Wooden huts or ivory towers Centuries or hours
Dark are the winter days Holy in many ways Vaults of time unshaken Whilst as through them we are taken Sleeping forests wake Ice melts on the lake Birds begin in making their way back home
The frost and the fire goes East winds and winter snows Sun upon the daffodils Dancing on the verdant hills Lambs in the fields
Warmer grows the morning sun Days of youthfulness and fun The prime of the year begun The song of summer to be sung Everything is one Working day is done Watch the river running through our lives
How slowly the colours change We feel the drops of rain Mists of evening rise again We rarely stroll the shadowed lanes As autumn night draws in
We sit upon the sand Warmth draining from the land Watching the ruby sun Setting on the ocean The echoes in the caves The flame upon the waves Memories for saving all our days

All Or Nothing At All Composer(s): Arthur Altman - Jack Lawrence First release by: Bob Eberly & Jimmy Dorsey - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists
All or nothing at all Half a love, never appealed to me If your heart, never could yield to me Then I'd rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all If it's love, there is no in between Why begin then cry, for something that might have been No I'd rather have nothing at all
But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call I would be, caught in the undertow So you see, I've got to say "No, No" All or nothing at all
Why Should I Cry Over You? Composer(s): Chester Conn; Ned Miller Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I dont know why I should Cry over you Sigh Over you Even be blue
I should have known that youd leave me alone And break my heart in two Although you have left me alone to pine And all my love was a [big fat] waste of time Someday your heart will be broken like mine So why should I cry over you (x2)
You broke my heart, you took it apart So pack up your bags and beat it Why should I cry over yooouuuuuu?

Why Should I Care? Composer(s): Clint Eastwood;
Carole Bayer Sager; Linda Thompson-Jenner Performer(s): Diana Krall; Kenny Colman; Laura Theodore; Jim Widner
Was there something more I could have done? Or was I not meant to be the one? Where's the life I thought we would share? And should I care?
And will someone else get more of you? Will she go to sleep more sure of you? Will she wake up knowing you're still there? And why should I care?
There's always one to turn and walk away And one who just wants to stay But who said that love is always fair? And why should I care?
Should I leave you alone here in the dark? Holding my broken heart While a promise still hangs in the air Why should I care?
All Or Nothing Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Cher
I've been calling your name Got that lonely feeling again Calling out your name Do you hear me? Do you want me? Baby it's all or nothing now I don't want to run And I can't walk out You're breaking my heart If you leave me now Don't wanna wait for ever Who do you think you're fooling Who do you think you're fooling Baby it's all or nothing Baby it' all or nothing Baby it' all or nothing now I've been trying to get to your heart But I'm chasing shadows We keep falling further apart So near you're so far Do you care now? Do you know how? Baby it's all or nothing now I don't want to run and I can't walk but Breaking my heart if you leave me now Don't want to wait forever Who do you think you're fooling Who do you think you're fooling Baby it's all or nothing Baby it's all or nothing now
5:15 Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who; and various other artists
Why should I care? Why should I care?
Girls of fifteen, sexually knowing The ushers are sniffing, eau-du-cologning The seats are seductive, celibate sitting Pretty girls digging prettier women
Magically bored on a quiet street corner Free frustration in our minds and our toes Quiet storm water m-my generation Uppers and downers, either way blood flows
Inside outside, leave me alone Inside outside, nowhere is home Inside outside, where have I been
Out of my brain on the five-fifteen Out of my brain on the train Out of my brain on the train
A raft in the quarry, slowly sinking Back of a lorry, holy hitching Dreadfully sorry, apple scrumping Born in a war, birthday punching
He-man drag in a glittering ballroom Greyly outrageous in my high heeled shoes Tightly undone, know what they're showing Sadly ecstatic that their heroes are news
Inside outside Leave me alone Inside outside Nowhere is home Inside outside Where have I been Out of my brain on the five-fifteen Out of my brain on the train
All Of You Composer(s): Cole Porter First performance by: Don Ameche - 1955 Covered by multiple other artists
After watching your appeal from ev'ry angle there's a big romantic deal I've got to wangle For I've fallen for a certain luscious lass And it's not a passing fancy or a fancy pass
I love the look of you, the lure of you I'd love to make a tour of you The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you The east, west, north, and the south of you I'd love to gain complete control of you And handle even the heart and soul of you So love, at least, a small percent of me, do For I love all of you
All Of This For Sally Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk; Mark Dinning; Jim Nabors
Great Granddaddy left five million dollars to Sally Twelve twenty story office buildings in New York to Sally Sixty thousand acres of a prime beef cattle in Utah A thirty room mansion with the servants and a chauffeur with a new car
All of this for Sally, all of this for Sally All of this for Sally, (gasp) who loves only me
Now, when the lawyers read the will and gave everything to Sally All the great-grandkids looked disgustedly at Sally It was quite a shock when he left his blue chip stock just to Sally And it was terrible when he left his Rivièra home to Sally
All of this for Sally, all of this for Sally All of this for Sally, (gasp) who loves only me
I take Sally for a walk each evening in the city park She looks up at me with those big brown eyes and breaks my silly heart Sally's not too good at arithmetic, so all her money, I kinda handle 'Cause after all, Sally's just four year old Brown eyed...Cocker spaniel
All of this for Sally, all of this for Sally All of this for Sally, (gasp) who loves only me
Why Not Me Composer(s): Harlan Howard; Sonny Throckmorton; Brent Maher Performer(s): The Judds; Sister Valentina
You've been looking for love all around the world Baby don't you know this country girl's still free Why not me
Well you finally come down to your own hometown Your Kentucky girl's been waiting patiently Why not me
Chorus: Why not me on a rainy day Why not me to love your cares away Why not me Why not me when the nights get cold Why not me when your growin' old Why not me
You've been searchin' from here to Singapore Ain't it time that you noticed the girl next door baby Why not me
Well you had to see if the world was round It's time that you learned how good settling down could be Why not me
All Of This And Nothing Composer(s): John Ashton - Richard Butler - Tim Butler - Vince Ely - Duncan Kilburn - Roger Morris Performer(s): The Psychedelic Furs
A phonebook full of accidents A girl to drive your car A suit to wear on mondays And a coat a magazine A heavy rain a holiday A painting of the wall A knife a fork and memories A light to see it all You didn't leave me anything That I can understand Hey I never meant that stuff I want to turn you round Dominoes a pack of cards A picture of the queen A dress to wear on sundays And a handle for the door A letter that I sent for you A note you left for me A wave a pack of cigarettes A pocket full of beads You didn't leave me anything That I can understand Hey I never meant that stuff I want to turn you on You didn't leave me anything That I can understand Hey I never meant that stuff I want to turn you round You didn't leave me anything That I can understand Hey I never meant that stuff I want to turn you on The sound of people getting drunk A ceiling and a sky A bank that's full of promises A telephone that lies A visit from your doctor He crawls in through the door A mirror you can look in So that you know where you are You didn't leave me anything That I can understand Hey I never meant that stuff I want to turn you round You didn't leave me anything That I can understand Now I'm left with all of this A room full of your trash
Why Must The Show Go On Composer(s): Philip Oakey; Giorgio Moroder Performer(s): Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder
Did you think your love would last forever? Did you always have somewhere to go? Did you tell your lies for entertainment? Did you ever let your feelings show? Could you ever tell the truth from fiction? Did you even let your lovers know? Did you think that life is an addiction? And love has to be killed or it may grow Why must the show go on After the crowd has gone? After the battles won Why must the show go on? On through the night On until light Never in our lives were we together Nothing real underneath the show Talk of passion could have been the weather How could love so wounded die so slow? Why must the show go on After the crowd has gone? After the battles won Why must the show go on? Why must the show go on? After the race is run? After the victor's song Why must the show go on? On through the night On until light Why must the show go on? After the race is run? After the victor's song Why must the show go on? Why must the show go on After the crowd has gone? After the battles won Why must the show go on? On through the night On until light
All Of The Monkeys Ain't In The Zoo Composer(s): Tommy Collins Performer(s): Tommy Collins; Blue Grass Boys; Johnny Duncan
Now, I've got a cousin on my daddy's side He was a single boy and doin' fine Until he met a widder who took him for a ride He's a hubby now, besides the toll of nine
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo There's some runnin' loose around me and you Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
Oh, the women on a budget always tickle me They're as tight as ticks and worry all the time And then a travelling salesman sweeps 'em off their feet They give a dollar for a brush that's worth a dime
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo There's some runnin' loose around me and you Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
Now, there's some awful smart men that run the USA They head the list of some of our great men And then there's some others who had a big shot brother They weren't elected, they were just put in
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo There's some tellin' us what we can do Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
I used to tell my girl when she'd get marryin' on her mind That she'd never make a monkey out of me But I was just a country kid and I didn't know the game And I guess you know what happened to me
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo There's some runnin' loose around me and you Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
