There's A New Moon Over My Shoulder
Composer(s): Jimmie Davis - Lee Blastic - Ekko Whelan
First release by: Tex Ritter and His Texans - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
I remember now that I'm older
What you told me the day we had to part
You promised with the new moon
You'd be comin' back to me
Now many moons have passed since then
I'm waiting patiently
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
[And so I keep on waiting
For your safe return someday
And that we'll be the same old sweethearts
As when you went away]
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
Another Tricky Day Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who
You can't always get it When you really want it You can't always get it at all Just because there's space In your life it's a waste To spend your time why don't you wait for the call
(Just gotta get used to it) We all get it in the end (Just gotta get used to it) We go down and we come up again (Just gotta get used to it) You irritate me my friend (This is no social crisis) This is you having fun (No crisis) Getting burned by the sun (This is true) This is no social crisis Just another tricky day for you
You can always get higher Just because you aspire You could expire even knowing. Don't push the hands Just hang on to the band You can dance while your knowledge is growing
(It could happen anytime) You can't expect to never cry (Patience is priceless) Not when you try to fly so high (Just stay on that line) Rock and roll will never die (This is no social crisis) ...
Another tricky day Another gently nagging pain What the papers say Just seems to bring down heavier rain The world seems in a spiral Life seems such a worthless title But break out and start a fire y'all It's all here on the vinyl (No crisis) ...
You can't always get it When you really want it You can't always get it at all Just because there's space In your life it's a waste To spend your time why don't you wait for the call
(Just gotta get used to it) Gotta get used to waiting (Just gotta get used to it) You know how the ice is (Just gotta get used to it) It's thin where you're skating (This is no social crisis) ...
Décrocher Les Étoiles Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell; Los Angeles
Décrocher les étoiles, faire s'entrouvrir la mer J'aime les obstacles Mais les miracles Ca, j'ai jamais su faire Déplacer les montagnes, j'te dis pas les travaux! J'suis du spectacle Faut pas qu'j'bacle Mais le devis est trop chaud En clair, faudrait qu' je t'aime Un peu comme un héros Mais voilà, Dieu n'peut pas m'aider cette semaine Il est "surbooké" mais m'rappellera bientôt C'est pas qu'je me décourage Mais t'en d'mandes un peu trop J't'ai menti, j'sais pas décrocher les étoiles Déjà tout p'tit, j'montais mal les "mécanos" Décrocher les étoiles, c'est un métier qui s'perd C'est bien dommage Tout d'vient trop sage Les rêves n'ont plus d' repaire Décrocher les étoiles C'est t'emm'ner en bateau J'veux pas qu't'es d'moi une image sur un nuage Sujet au vertige, j'peux pas monter si haut C'est pas qu'je me décourage Mais t'en demande un peu trop J't'ai menti, j'sais pas décrocher les étoiles Déjà tout p'tit, j'montais mal les "mécanos"
True Love That's A Wonder Composer(s): H. Vermeulen Performer(s): Sandy Coast
We have been quiet a few days together But I can't help to think you don't like it this way First you made me feel this was all forever It's so sad to know that it's different today That's why I wonder what you gonna do when I say when I say
Do what you wanna do Make everybody love you Nobody is important but you True love that's a wonder True love that's a wonder these days
We used to have such very long talks together But now many times we don't know nothing to say That is why I wonder what you gonna do When I say, when I say yeah
Do what you wanna do Make everybody love you Nobody is important but you True love that's a wonder True love that's a wonder these days
Do what you wanna do Make everybody love you Nobody is important but you True love that's a wonder True love that's a wonder True love that's a wonder these days

Another Town, Another Train Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus First release by: Björn & Benny - Agnetha & Frida - 1973
Day is dawning and I must go You're asleep but still I'm sure you'll know Why it had to end this way You and I had a groovy time But I told you somewhere down the line You would have to find me gone I just have to move along Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations
When you wake I know you'll cry And the words I wrote to say goodbye They won't comfort you at all But in time you will understand That the dreams we dreamed were made of sand For a no-good bum like me To live is to be free
Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations
Déclaration Composer(s): Georges Moustaki Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Je déclare l'état de bonheur permanent Et le droit de chacun à tous les privilèges Je dis que la souffrance est chose sacrilège Quand il y a pour tous des roses et du pain blanc Je conteste la légitimité des guerres La justice qui tue et la mort qui punit Les consciences qui dorment au fond de leur lit La civilisation au bras des mercenaires Je regarde mourir ce siècle vieillissant Un monde différent renaîtra de ses cendres Mais il ne suffit plus simplement de l'attendre Je l'ai trop attendu. Je le veux à présent Que ma femme soit belle à chaque heure du jour Sans avoir à se dissimuler sous le fard Et qu'il ne soit plus dit de remettre à plus tard L'envie que j'ai d'elle et de lui faire l'amour Que nos fils soient des hommes, non pas des adultes Et qu'ils soient ce que nous voulions être jadis Que nous soyons frères camarades et complices Au lieu d'être deux générations qui s'insultent Que nos pères puissent enfin s'émanciper Et qu'ils prennent le temps de caresser leur femme Après toute une vie de sueur et de larmes Et des entre-deux-guerres qui n'étaient pas la paix
Je déclare l'état de bonheur permanent Sans que ce soit des mots avec de la musique Sans attendre que viennent les temps messianiques Sans que ce soit voté dans aucun parlement
Je dis que, désormais, nous serons responsables Nous ne rendrons de compte à personne et à rien Et nous transformerons le hasard en destin Seuls à bord et sans maître et sans dieu et sans diable
Et si tu veux venir, passe la passerelle Il y a de la place pour tous et pour chacun Mais il nous reste à faire encore du chemin Pour aller voir briller une étoile nouvelle
Einen Ring Mit Deinem Namen Composer(s): Joachim Heider - Fred Jay Performer(s): Anna-Lena
Du warst lang meine heimliche Liebe mein Tagebuch nur wußte, wie's um mich stand Manchen Abend verbracht' ich zu Hause und träumte und hoffte, dein Bild in der Hand
Einen Ring mit deinem Namen ja den wollt' ich für mein Leben gern von dir Doch dein Bild im gold'nen Rahmen sah mich lächelnd an und sagte nichts zu mir
Einmal trafen wir uns auf der Straße du sagtest:"Komm laß uns die Läden beseh'n" Vor Boutiquen verweilten wir lange nur vor einem Laden, da bliebst du nicht steh'n
Einen Ring mit deinem Namen ja den wollt' ich für mein Leben gern von dir Als wir dran vorüberkamen sahst du mich nicht an und sagtest nichts zu mir
Später brachtest du mich dann nach Hause ich dachte, so endet die Liebe für mich Aber du nahmst mich in deine Arme und sagtest "Hier hab ich noch etwas für dich!"
Einen Ring mit deinem Namen ja den wollt' ich für mein Leben gern von dir Einen Ring mit deinem Namen und ein Herz dazu, das alles gabst du mir
Einen Ring mit deinem Namen ja den wollt' ich für mein Leben gern von dir Einen Ring mit deinem Namen...
Another Time, Another Place Composer(s): Mike Leander - Edward Seago Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
The candles flicker in the fading light I sit alone and watch that lonely night I see you everywhere and I try desperately to hide
Another Time, Another Place I see that old, familiar face and I try hard to catch your eye Another Road, Another Mile I see that old, familiar smile but you'll be with somebody new
Another Night, Another Day I see you standing in my way I stop and say, "Hello, My friend" Another Place, Another Time You tell me you've been doin' fine and walk away from me once more.....
I try and run away from sad regrets the bitter wine won't help me to forget that I locked up my heart and threw away the precious key
Another Time, Another Place I see that old, familiar face and I try hard to catch your eye Another Road, Another Mile I see that old, familiar smile but you'll be with somebody new
Another Night, Another Day I see you standing in my way I stop and say, "Hello, My friend" Another Place, Another Time You tell me you've been doin' fine and walk away from me once more.....
Another Night, Another Day I see you standing in my way I stop and say, "Hello, My friend" Another Place, Another Time You tell me you've been doin' fine and walk away from me once more!

During the North African Campaign, a bunch of soldier boys had been on a long hike
They arrived in a little town called Casino
The next morning being Sunday, several of the boys went to church
A sergeant commanded the boys in church
After the Chaplain read the prayer, the text was taken up next
Those of the boys that had a prayer book took them out
One boy had only a deck of cards, and he spread them out
The sergeant saw the cards and said, "Soldier, put away those cards"
After the service was over the soldier was taken prisoner and brought before the Provost Marshall
The Marshall said, "Sergeant, why have you brought this man here?"
"For playing cards in church, Sir," was the response
The Marshall asked the soldier, "And what have you to say for yourself, son?"
"Much, Sir," replied the soldier
The Marshall stated
"I hope so, for if not I will punish you more than any man was ever punished"
The soldier said, "Sir, I have been on the march for about six months
I have neither bible nor a prayer book, but I hope to satisfy you, sir with the purity of my intentions"
And with that, the boy started his story...
"You see, sir, when I look at the Ace, it reminds me that there is but one God
And the deuce reminds me that the bible is divided into two parts: the Old and the New Testaments
When I see the trey, I think of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
And when I see the four, I think of the four evangelists who preached the Gospel
There was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
And when I see the five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps
There were ten of them
Five were wise and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out
When I see the six, it reminds me that in six days God made this heaven and earth
And when I see the seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day God rested from his great work
And when I see the eight, I think of the eight righteous persons that God saved when he destroyed the earth
There was Noah, his wife, their sons and their wives
And when I see the nine, I think of the lepers our saviour cleansed and that nine of the ten didn't even thank him
When I see the ten, I think of the ten commandments that God handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone
When I see the King, it reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven, God Almighty
And when I see the Queen, I think of the blessed Virgin Mary who is the Queen of Heaven
And the Jack or Knave is the Devil
When I count the number of spots in a deck of cards
I find 365, the number of days in a year
There are 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year
There are four suits, the number of weeks in a month
There are twelve picture cards, the number of months in a year
There are thirteen tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter
So you see, Sir, my deck of cards serves me as a bible, an almanac and a prayer book"
"And friends, this is a true story
I know, I was that soldier"
Wenn Du Gehst Composer(s): Fini Busch - Werner Scharfenberger Performer(s): Connie Francis
Wenn Du Gehst, Wenn Du Gehst wird Es Traurig Sein so Wie Dich, Hab' Ich Keinen Geliebt wenn Du Gehst, Wenn Du Gehst bleibt Mein Herz Allein weil Es Nie Mehr Ein Glueck Fuer Mich Gibt

wenn Du Gehst, Wenn Du Gehst wird Es Nacht Für Mich denn Du Nimmst Meine Sonne Mit Dir wenn Du Gehst, Wenn Du Gehst dann Verwelke Ich wie Die Blumen, So Viel Warst Du Mir
bleib Bei Mir, Und Sei Mein lass Mich Nie, Nie Allein
wenn Du Gehst, Wenn Du Gehst dann Ist Alles Aus was So Schoen Ist, So Schoen Fuer Uns Zwei meine Welt Stuerzt Dann Ein Wie Ein Kartenhaus wenn Du Gehst, Dann Ist Alles Vorbei
bleib Bei Mir, Und Sei Mein lass Mich Nie, Nie Allein...

Decir Te Quiero Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Decir te quiero es apostar sin condiciones por la vida Decir te quiero es decidir poner mis cartas boca arriba Decir te quiero es acostarse sin orgullo en otra cama Decir te quiero es arriesgarse a despertar dueño de nada Tragarse el miedo y la vergüenza ser un gigante, ser un iluso, ser un poeta Dar tu cuerpo a otro cuerpo sin medidas dar el alma y si hace falta dar la vida ser un loco que no piensa que sólo ama ser un ángel con espinas en las alas serlo todo y no ser nada Decir te quiero sin que te quiera es morir en la batalla Decir te quiero sin que lo sientas de verdad es ser pirata Decir te quiero es ser suicida, jugarse todo aunque lo pierdas a una partida Y dar tu cuerpo a otro cuerpo sin medidas dar el alma y si hace falta dar la vida ser un loco que no piensa que sólo ama ser un ángel con espinas en las alas serlo todo y no ser nada Serlo todo y no ser nada

Iedere keer Zie ik weer, hoe je zacht Een ander toelacht als hij danst met jou En ik weet Dat is 't grote moment dat 'k heb gekend toen 'k je kussen wou
Maar ik denk altijd weer aan wat jij die avond Zachtjes tot me zei Oh darling, dans nog eenmaal met mij
Want ik kan niet leven zonder jou Sla je arm dus om me heen Omdat ik toch alleen van jou maar hou Ik voel me zo alleen
En ik denk altijd weer aan wat jij die avond Zachtjes tot me zei So darling, save the last dance for me So darling, save the last dance for me So darling, save the last dance for me...

Oh, what a night, late December back in '63 What a very special time for me As I remember what a night!
Oh what a night You know I didn't even know her name But I was never gonna be the same What a lady, what a night!
Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room And I, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night, Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me She was everything I dreamed she'd be Sweet surrender, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder Straining my head around and taking my body under
(Oh what a night!)
Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room And I, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night Why'd it take so long to see the light? Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right What a lady, what a night!

(Oh what a night!)
