Amphetamine Annie Composer(s): Adolfo de la Parra - Bob Hite - Skip Taylor - Henry Vestine Performer(s): Canned Heat; Walter Trout
This is a song with a message I want you to heeeeed my warning
Wanna tell you all a story, about this chick I know They call her Amphetamine Annie, and she's always shovelin' snow I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear I don't mind you gettin' high but there's one thing you should fear Your mind might think it's flyin' baby on those little pills But you ought to know it's dyin', cause - speed kills!
But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door Her mouth was like a grindin' mill, her lips where cracked and sore Her skin was turnin' yellow, I just couldn't take it no more She thought her mind was flyin' on those litte pills She didn't know it was going down fast, cause - speed kills!
Yaaaa, speed can kill you too baby, yaa
Well I sat her down and told her, I told her one more time The whole wide human raice has taken far too much methadrine She said "I don't care what a lymie says, I got to get it on I'm not hip to the scene of the man who comes from across the pond" She wouldn't heed my warning, Lord she wouldn't hear what I said Now she's here in the grave yard, and she's awfully dead
Ya, speed gonna kill you! Anybody Speed will get you! Speed from over the pond There ain't no hope baby... Yaa, aah hah Spoon a Spoon a Spoon.... huah...
Dance Little Jean Composer(s): Jimmy Ibbotson Performer(s): John Denver; Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; John McEuen
I played a wedding for the money And I wished that I could tell the bride and groom Just what I think of marriage What's in store after the honeymoon
I was grumbling to the dancers 'Bout how men and women ought to live apart How a promise never made could not be broken And would never break a heart
Suddenly from out of nowhere This little girl came spinning across the floor Her crinolines were billowing Beneath the skirt of calico she wore
As her joy fell on the honored guests Each one of them was drawn into her dream And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands And hollered at her, "Dance little Jean!"
Dance, little Jean, this day is for you Two people you love, stood up and said "I do" Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had Was answered today, your Mama's marrying your Dad
Well, my cynical heart just melted 'Cause I knew what this get together meant How it ended year of tears and sad confusion That the little girl had spent
Well they told the band to pack it up About the time the couple cut the cake But we played as long as they stayed For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake
Dance, little Jean, this day is for you Two people you love, stood up and said "I do" Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had Was answered today, your Mama's marrying your Dad
Amoureux De Ma Femme ((aka Baisse Un Peu La Radio (by Dalida) - 1966)) ((Adapted from: Nessuno Mi Può Giudicare (by Caterina Caselli) - 1966)) ((Dutch Version: Elke Dag Verliefd (by Willy Sommers) - 2000)) Composer(s): Mario Panzeri - Daniele Pace - Micky Del Prete - Luciano Beretta - Yves Dessca Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1974
Qu'est-ce qui me prends je me sens soudain tout drôle Comme si j'avais un oiseau sur mon épaule
Qu'est-ce qu'il m'arrive aujourd'hui je suis amoureux de ma femme Comme au premier jour je suis amoureux de ma femme J'ai envie de l'embrasser besoin de la caresser Je sens me piquer au cur une merveilleuse et tendre douleur
Comme un collégien je suis amoureux de ma femme Je la trouve belle je la chante sur toute la gamme Demain je brise les ponts, je prends deux billets d'avion Et je vais me l'emmener prendre des vacances en jeunes mariés
Depuis longtemps déjà n'existait plus rien Nous restait seulement la bourse en commun Et souvent s'installait au fond de mon cur Pour un jour ou deux un nouveau bonheur
Qui sait peut-être nous nous sommes mariés trop jeunes Et j'avais besoin de vivre ma vie d'homme De tout mes idylles j'en ai fait le tour Je sais que c'est elle mon unique amour
C'est drôle aujourd'hui je suis amoureux de ma femme Comme au premier jour je suis amoureux de ma femme Je me sens prêt à passer trois jours à rester coucher Trois jours à lui faire l'amour trois nuits sans dormir Trois jours sans sortir
Qui sait peut-être nous nous sommes mariés trop jeunes Et j'avais besoin de vivre ma vie d'homme De toutes mes idylles j'en ai fait le tour Je sais que c'est elle mon unique amour
Quelle chance aujourd'hui je suis amoureux de ma femme.........
Dance Into The Light Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins; Wildside
It's there in the eyes of the children In the faces smiling in the windows You can come on out, come on open the doors Brush away the tears of freedom
Now we're here, there's no turning back We have each other We have one voice
Hand in hand we will lay the tracks Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me Come on and dance into the light Everybody dance into the light
There'll be no more hiding in shadows of fear There'll be no more chains to hold you The future is yours - you hold the key And there are no walls with freedom
Now we're here, we won't go back We are one world We have one voice
Side by side we are not afraid Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me Come on and dance into the light Everybody dance into the light
Do you see the sun - it's a brand new day Oh, the world's in your hands, now use it What's past is past, don't turn around Brush away the cobwebs of freedom
Now we're here, there's no turning back You have each other You have one voice
Hand in hand you can lay the tracks Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me Come on and dance into the light Everybody dance into the light
Amoureuse De La Vie Composer(s): Gilbert Bécaud - Pierre Grosz Performer(s): Dalida
Je ne me souviens plus du tout des circonstances Mais vous m'avez dit Tu as eu de la chance, de la chance La mort à marché si près de moi Que j'ai même fait un petit pas Vers l'autre bord J'ai ouvert les yeux tiens la vie recommence J'ai eu dans les yeux d'un coup le ciel immense De la chance Je ne sais pas comment l'expliquer Mais je me sens miraculé et aujourd'hui
Je suis amoureuse de la vie Et c'est bon d'embrasser la vie Chaque minute de ma vie Je fais l'amour avec la vie Puisque rien de rien dans la vie N'est plus important que la vie Que la vie
Et quand je mets une nouvelle robe Je mets vraiment une nouvelle robe Et quand je croque une pomme Je croque vraiment une pomme Puisqu'aujourd'hui...
Je suis amoureuse de la vie Et c'est bon d'embrasser la vie Chaque minute de ma vie Je fais l'amour avec la vie Moi qui sombrait vers l'infini Je suis là et c'est Dieu merci Pour t'aimer et danser Toute la vie

Versions In Other Languages: 1973 - Amoureuse (by Kikki Dee) 1975 - Emotion (by Helen Reddy) 1996 - Open Einde (by Splinter)
Une nuit je m'endors avec lui Mais je sais qu'on nous l'interdit Et je sens la fièvre qui me mord Sans que j'aie l'ombre d'un remords
Et l'aurore m'apporte le sommeil Je ne veux pas qu'arrive le soleil Quand je prends sa tête entre mes mains Je vous jure que j'ai du chagrin
Et je me demande Si cet amour aura un lendemain Quand je suis loin de lui Quand je suis loin de lui Je n'ai plus vraiment toute ma tête Et je ne suis plus d'ici Oh! je ne suis plus d'ici Je ressens la pluie d'une autre planète
Quand il me serre tout contre lui Quand je sens que j'entre dans sa vie Je prie pour que le destin m'en sorte Je prie pour que le diable m'emporte
Et l'angoisse me montre son visage Elle me force à parler son langage Mais quand je prends sa tête entre mes mains Je vous jure que j'ai du chagrin
Et je me demande Si cet amour aura un lendemain Quand je suis loin de lui Quand je suis loin de lui Je n'ai plus vraiment toute ma tête Et je ne suis plus d'ici Non je ne suis plus d'ici Je ressens la pluie d'une autre planète
Dance In The Smoke Composer(s): Rod Argent; Chris White Performer(s): Argent
We will light it and dance in the smoke Every brand we'll tie somebody's worries to it We will burn it and dance in the smoke I recall it was to tall To see the flames grow high But on tiptoe The flames would grow And burn into the sky We will light a giant burning fire tonight We will light it and dance in the smoke Every brand we'll tie somebody's worries to it We will burn it and dance in the smoke
Amoureuse ((aka Emotion (by Helen Reddy) - 1975)) ((Adapted from: Amoureuse (by Véronique Sanson) - 1972)) ((Dutch Version: Open Einde (by Splinter) - 1996)) Composer(s): Véronique Sanson - Gary Anthony Osborne Performer(s): Kikki Dee - 1973
Strands of light on our bedroom floor Change the night through an open door I'm awake but this is not my home For the first time I'm not alone Reaching out I touch another's skin Breathing out as he's breathing in Deep inside I feel my soul aflame Can my life ever be the same
I should have told him That I'd do anything if I could hold him For just another day, for just another day His love is something I will not forget When I am far away, when I am far away I feel the rainfall of another planet Another planet
Close together in the afterglow I remember how his loving flowed Turned the key into another world Made a woman of a simple girl Daylight comes as we both know it must Soon my fantasy will turn to dust But I would give him anything he asked If my first love could be my last
I should have told him That I'd do anything if I could hold him For just another day, for just another day His love is something I will not regret When I am far away, when I am far away I feel the rainfall of another planet Another planet

Take your baby by the hand And make her do a high handstand And take your baby by the heel And do the next thing that you feel

Versions In Other Languages: 1973 - Amoureuse (by Kikki Dee) 1975 - Emotion (by Helen Reddy)
De regen koelt m'n zinnen af Je veegt een vlek weg op m'n jas Het laatste spoor van een dolle nacht Ik hoor de trein waar ik op wacht
Ik ben op weg voor een lange reis Tussen Brussel en Parijs Een leeg hotel en een sigaret Ik leg je foto naast m'n bed
God, ik wist het dat hier toch nooit iets van kon komen
Is dit het einde nu? Of net een nieuw begin? Duizend vragen en het antwoord schuldig... Nu ben ik ver van jou en dan weer heel dichtbij Een verhaal met een open einde Een open einde
Drie uur 's nachts, eenzaamheid heeft herinneringen weggeveegd De prijs voor een hart was me veel te duur En elke seconde lijkt een uur
God, ik wil je en geen moment van je zijde wijken
Is dit het einde nu? Of net een nieuw begin? Duizend vragen en het antwoord schuldig... Nu ben ik ver van jou en dan weer heel dichtbij Een verhaal met een open einde Een open einde
Nu ben ik ver van jou en dan weer heel dichtbij Een verhaal met een open einde Een open einde
Don't try selling me your heartbreak 'Cause I can't take another sales pitch You don't wanna be the last one Who's no fun The one that's always left behind I know it's hard To see clearly all of the time So go do what you want And I'll try hard to be more understanding
But I don't want to live like that Under your thumb behind your back I just wanna be there to see the last laugh
I'll try killing you with kindness Forget the mindless things I might've said And I won't try to catch you or stop you From doing what you think is right I'll look the other way Maybe I was wrong this one time It's got to be hard When the rest of the world's gone crazy around you
But I don't want to live like that Under your thumb, behind your back I just wanna be there to see the last laugh
Back and forth you swing From routine to obscene And I know that you're just like me And that's exactly what I like about you I guess I'm probably insane Two by four is what I'd use to smack you upside your head 'Cause you drive me crazy
So don't keep singing me your sad song It's been so long Since I've gotten through And I'm not gonna be the last one Who's no fun The one that's always left behind Don't get me wrong When I don't tell you what you wanna hear And go do what you wnat And I'll try hard to be more understanding
But I don't want to live like that Under your thumb, behind your back I just wanna be there to see the last laugh

Amour Sans Amour Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Combien j'ai connu d'inconnues Toutes de roses dévêtues Combien de ces fleurs qu'on effleure Et qui s'entrouvrent puis se meurent Que de larmes et de colliers Au pied de mon lit ont roulé Que de comédies que d'ennuis Pour d'aussi frêles pierreries
Amour sans amour, amour sans amour L'amour sans amour et sans visage Amour sans amour, amour sans amour Sans illusion, sans orage
Amour de collège, comment ai-je Pu oublier tes sortilèges? L'amour au hasard d'un regard T'a effacée de ma mémoire Du jardin que j'ai saccagé Dont les herbes se sont couchées Il ne reste rien, je le crains Que ronces mortes sans parfum
Amour sans amour, amour sans amour Amour sans amour, rien n'est plus triste Amour sans amour, amour sans amour Mais qui sans amour existe? Combien j'ai connu d'inconnues Toutes de roses dévêtues

Amour perdu, amour perdu Nous reviendra comme le printemps Amour perdu, amour perdu Nous reviendra plus fort qu'avant Je lance ce défi au vieux proverbe Qui dit qu'amour perdu ne revient plus On pourra dire en conservant le verbe Amour perdu nous reviendra grandi J'espère de tout coeur les poètes Ne m'exclurons pas de leur parti Mais bientôt nos coeurs seront en fête Quand notre amour nous reviendra grandi Amour perdu, amour perdu Nous reviendra comme le printemps Amour perdu, amour perdu Nous reviendra plus fort qu'avant Pour moi la règle prouve l'exception Mais la grammaire y voit des inconvénients Aussi j'ai pris une sage décision J'emploie le verbe aimer à tous les temps Peut-être suis-je donc impardonnable Chez les amants déçus, les résignés Mais je ne suis pas réconfortable Par un amour qu'on retrouve sur le pavé Amour perdu, amour perdu Nous reviendra comme le printemps Amour perdu, amour perdu Nous reviendra plus fort qu'avant
Dance Away Composer(s): Bryan Ferry Originally performed by: Roxy Music
Yesterday - well it seemed so cool When I walked you home, kissed goodnight I said it´s love you said all right It´s funny how I could never cry Until tonight and you pass by Hand in hand with another guy You´re dressed to kill and guess who´s dying? Dance away the heartache Dance away the tears - dance away Loneliness is a crowded room Full of open hearts turned to stone All together all alone All at once my whole world had changed Now I´m in the dark, off the wall Let the strobe light up them all I close my eyes and dance till dawn - dance away Now I know I must walk the line Until I find an open door There was I - many times a fool I hope and pray, but not too much Out of reach is out of touch All the way is far enough - dance away
