Almost Illegal Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Andy Taylor Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Yeah, I said yeah I remember the first time That I ever seen her face I was standing by the drug store Trying to save the human race
Took a raincheck on a blind date To get her prescription filled We had a short talk and a long walk Through the lazy cottonfield
It was hot She was cool and sultry We made love I was broke and lonely
She's wonderful, so beautiful So delectable, she's mine She's desirable, so lovable And it's criminal, almost illegal
Well we woke up in a barnyard When I heard a farmer shout Get away, boy, from my daughter When a shotgun rang out We took off She was right behind me Ran like the wind What a crazy lady
She's fabulous, so sensuous She's marvelous, she's mine I'm delirious, it's serious Kinda dangerous, almost illegal
Bring it down now We had a one child by the Springtime and another on the way I got a new life and a good wife Ain't that amazing grace
It was hot She was cool and sultry We made love I was broke and lonely
She's wonderful, she's beautiful She's desirable, she's mine I'm delirious, she's serious It's kinda dangerous, almost illegal Wonderful, so beautiful She's not a radical, but she's mine She's fabulous, so sensuous And it's marvelous, almost illegal Beautiful and she's wonderful So desirable, almost illegal
Le Déserteur (Monsieur Le Président) Composer(s): H. Berg; Boris Vian Performer(s): Esther & Abi Ofarim
Monsieur le Président Je vous fais une lettre Que vous lirez peut-être Si vous avez le temps Je viens de recevoir Mes papiers militaires Pour partir à la guerre Avant mercredi soir Monsieur le Président Je ne veux pas la faire Je ne suis pas sur terre Pour tuer des pauvres gens C'est pas pour vous fâcher Il faut que je vous dise Ma décision est prise Je m'en vais déserter
Depuis que je suis né J'ai vu mourir mon père J'ai vu partir mes frères Et pleurer mes enfants Ma mère a tant souffert Elle est dedans sa tombe Et se moque des bombes Et se moque des vers Quand j'étais prisonnier On m'a volé ma femme On m'a volé mon âme Et tout mon cher passé Demain de bon matin Je fermerai ma porte Au nez des années mortes J'irai sur les chemins
Je mendierai ma vie Sur les routes de France De Bretagne en Provence Et je dirai aux gens: Refusez d'obéir Refusez de la faire N'allez pas à la guerre Refusez de partir S'il faut donner son sang Allez donner le vôtre Vous êtes bon apôtre Monsieur le Président Si vous me poursuivez Prévenez vos gendarmes Que je n'aurai pas d'armes Et qu'ils pourront tirer
Almost Human Composer(s): Ian Gillan - Roger Glover - Jon Lord - Steve Morse - Ian Paice Performer(s): Deep Purple
Well, I know you're the only one that understands Afore ye go, before you leave You always shake my hand Even when I'm crazy On fire and naked Just as Nature intended No style and easily blended
You always know where I'll be found I'm hanging somewhere near the ground Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days When everything is just a haze I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
I believe I could walk before I learned to crawl And when I look up, the Devil's looking back From the mirror on the wall You can open the door I got my feet stuck to the floor I may have lost my way But I didn't get where I am today
You always know where I'll be found I'm hanging somewhere near the ground Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days When everything is just a haze I'm dreaming
You spin into my empty room And once again I'm almost human Almost human
You always know where I'll be found I'm hanging somewhere near the ground Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days When everything is just a haze I'm dreaming
You spin into my empty room And once again I'm almost human Almost human
Wish You Were Here Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters Performer(s): Pink Floyd; and various other artists
So, so you think you can tell? Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for the cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here We´re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year Running over the same old ground but have we found the same old fears? Wish you were here
Almost Hear You Sigh Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Steve Jordan - Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
I can almost hear you sigh I can almost hear you cry On every crowded street All the places we would meet
What will I do without you They say that life goes on I'm feeling sorry for myself I can't belive you're gone
You acted much too calm You turned on all the charm You had a cold look in your eyes
I can feel your tongue on mine Silky smooth like wine I'm living with those memories That's all that's left of you and me
I can almost hear you sigh Almost hear you cry When you made sweet love to me And you turned on all the charm Acted much too calm You had a cold look in your eyes
Did it mean nothng Was it all in vain Was I just your fool Or was the pleasure pain Have you set me free Or will I wake up In the morning And find out it's been a bad dream
Come on, I beg you I want to be your main man
I can almost hear you sigh Almost hear you cry When you make sweet love to me Almost see your smile It stretched half a mile You had a stone cold look in your eyes
Wish You Were Here Composer(s): Harold Rome Performer(s): Eddie Fisher; and various other artists
They're not making the skies as blue this year Wish you were here As blue as they used to when you were near Wish you were here And the mornings don't seem as new Brand-new as they did with you Wish you were here Wish you were here Wish you were here
Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year Wish you were here And why did the birds change their song this year Wish you were here They're not shining the stars as bright They've stolen the joy from the night Wish you were here Wish you were here Wish you were here
Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year Wish you were here Why did the birds change their song this year Wish you were here They're not shining the stars as bright They've stolen the joy from the night Wish you were here Wish you were here Wish you were here
Almost Grown ((French Version: C'est La Vie Mon Chéri (Eddy Mitchell) - 1974)) Composer(s): Chuck Berry First release by: Chuck Berry - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
Yeah 'n' I'm doin' all right in school They ain't said I broke no rule I ain't never been in Dutch I don't browse around too much
Don't bother me, leave me alone Anyway I'm almost grown
I don't run around with no mob Got myself a little job I'm gonna buy me a little car Drive my girl in the park
Got my eye on a little girl Ah, she's really out of this world When I take her to the dance She's got to talk about romance
You know I'm still livin' in town But I done married and settled down Now I really have a ball So I don't browse around at all
Wish That You Were Mine Composer(s): Winfred "Blue" Lovett Performer(s): The Manhattans
Baby, could we have the same table we had yesterday
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh
Here we are again Sipping our drinks just like friends I wonder if they see the sparkle in your eyes I wonder if they know that I'm not your guy, mmm, hmm
I wonder if they see That you don't belong tome Wish that you could be mine Mine, all mine, mmm mmm
It'll be hard for him to understand I am his friend and he is your man I wonder what my lady would say If she knew I met you everyday, mmm, hmm
Sooner or later Don't you know they're gonna find out and they'll hate us Oh, I wish that you could be mine Mine, all mine, mmm
It's 2 a.m., the place is gonna close The bartender looks as though he knows Everybody's, everybody's made it home Here we sit again all alone, mmm, hmm
I've got to get up at 8 Don't you know I've got to explain why I'm so late, mmm I wish I didn't have to go home Whoa oh whoa oh oh go home
I wish that you were mine, baby Oh, I'd give you the world And every little thing your heart desires
Almost Gothic Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan
I'm working on gospel time these days
(The summer - this could be the cool part of the summer) The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room she's so severe A wise child walks right out of here I'm so excited I can barely cope I'm sizzling like an isotope I'm on fire so cut me some slack
First she's way gone then she comes back She's all business then she's ready to play She's almost gothic in a natural way
This house of desire is built foursquare (The city - the cleanest kitten in the city) When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard I'm hanging on her every word As if I'm not already blazed enough She hits me with the cryptic stuff That's her style - to jerk me around
First she's all feel then she cools down She's pure science with a splash of black cat She's almost gothic and I like it like that
This dark place so thrilling and new It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view Unless I'm totally wrong I hear her rap and brother it's strong
I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies But I just stand there hypnotized I'll just have to make it work somehow I'm in the amen corner now It's called love - I spell L -U- V
First she's all buzz then she's noise-free She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say She's almost gothic in a natural way
She's old school then she's like young Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat She's almost gothic but it's better than that
Ik ben geboren in West-Duitsland Ik werd verliefd op een meisje uit m'n thuisland Het was Marieke, ze speelde mee Ze speelde mee in een serie op TV Het duurde jaren voor ik wist Op wie ik toen verliefd was
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme Dat meisje met het blonde haar Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme 'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Ik was jaloers op alle schippers Ik was jaloers op alle schippers naast Mathilde Terwijl mijn broers met me lachten Zat ik op haar te wachten Ik wou haar alles, alles geven Al mijn geld en als het moest mijn jonge leven Onze romance was erg kort Ze liet me staan voor Axel Nort
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme Dat meisje met het blonde haar Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme 'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Het duurde jaren voor ik wist Op wie ik toen verliefd was
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme Dat meisje met het blonde haar Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme 'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme Dat meisje met het blonde haar Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme 'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Almost But Not Quite There Composer(s): Barlow - Francis Rossi Performer(s): Status Quo; Traffic Jam
I want to have you here with me To cuddle up so near to me And do the things you like me to do to you You like it when I tickle you We start to kiss it pleases you It gets so hot, I just don't know what to do
To take you when you're feelin' good To love you like I know I should It makes me feel all of ten feet tall
So I just try to give to you All that I can to satisfy you I don't like to leave you girl Almost but not quite there
So I just try to give to you All that I can to satisfy you I don't like to leave you girl Almost but not quite there
Now when I finally get to you I'm gonna put my love to you And then I'll see just how good you are So I've got to have you here with me To cuddle up so near to me And do the things you like me to do to you
So I just try to give to you All that I can to satisfy you I don't like to leave you girl Almost but not quite there
Zwarte Lola Composer(s): Johnny Hoes Performer(s): Annie Heuts
Ja ik ben Lola Zwarte Lola Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar Rode lippen, zwarte nylons En een massa krullend haar Willen de heren zich amuseren Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar

Almost Blue Composer(s): Elvis Costello First release by: Elvis Costello & The Attractions - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
Almost blue Almost doing things we used to do There's a girl here and she's almost you Almost all the things that your eyes once promised I see in hers too Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue Flirting with this disaster became me It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue It's almost touching it will almost do There's a part of me that's always true...always Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few I've seen such an unhappy couple
Wish Me Well Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum; Elderberry Jak
You know I caught a glimpse, thought I understood But I left it all far behind Now if I'd known then what I know now Do you think I would've been so blind? Gonna take myself down to a wishing well I'm gonna make myself one last wish And if you follow me there, better bring what you've found 'Cause my night has come and I'm going down
Gonna buy myself a big rockin' chair And when I'm sittin' in that, then no one will peek And if my friends will come, they'll see what I'm suffering from I wish, I wish, I could rock myself to sleep Gonna take myself down to a wishing well Gonna make myself one last wish If you follow me there, better bring what you've found 'Cause my night has come and I'm going down
Almost Always True ((Adapted from: Alouette (by Edouard Lebel) - 1906)) Composer(s): Fred Wise - Ben Weisman Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1961
I was always, baby, I was always Well almost always true to you Met a pretty mademoiselle Her papa owned a small hotel Oh, I was almost always true to you
I resisted, tho' my arm was twisted I was almost always true to you Stayed away from drinkin' wine Thought about you all the time Oh, I was almost always true to you
Kept refusin', don't jump to conclusions I was almost always true to you I would never grab like this I would never steal a kiss Oh, I was almost always true to you I was almost always true to you

Ja, ja, ja, meisjes met rode haren
die kunnen kussen, dat is niet mis Meisjes met rode haren, kunnen je zeggen wat liefde is Ja, ja, ja, meisjes met rode haren, kunnen je zeggen, als je ze kent Of je de grote liefde, de grote liefde voor altijd bent
Toen ik daar lag op mijn balkon Zag ik haar liggen in de zon Ze was heel mooi, ja dat is waar Maar het mooiste was haar rode haar
Die mooie tijd ging snel voorbij Het lag aan haar en niet aan mij Ze was heel mooi, ja dat is waar Maar 't mooiste was haar rode haar
Almost Composer(s): Paul Humphreys - Andy McCluskey First release by: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - 1979
I'd travel oh so far To be where you are I'd travel there by car To be where you are But if I get there I'd find That I'd change my mind It happens all the time To a friend of mine
Always making statements And moving step by step Always acting theories I will regret My only consolation In the things that I've done Are the people who know me And the objects I own
Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time
