Assez ... Assez Composer(s): David Mc Neil - Julien Clerc Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Assez de ces Machins pointus De tout c'qui blesse De tout c'qui tue Couteaux, coupe-coupes Et balles perdues Assez de ces Machins pointus... Assez, assez, assez, assez
Assez de ces Machins qui griffent Crampons de foot Bijoux Van Cleef Tonton-macoutes Scouts à canifs Assez de ces Machins qui griffent... Assez, assez, assez, assez
Faut des ronds Faut des courbes Des marchands d'marrons Rue Lecourbe Faut des ballons Des cerceaux Et les seins de Sophie Marceau... Assez, assez, assez, assez
Assez de ces Machins qui piquent Serpents-pythons Et porc-épics Du hérisson Microscopique Assez de ces Machins qui piquent...
Faut des ronds Faut des courbes Des marchands d'marrons Rue Lecourbe Faut des ballons Des cerceaux Et les seins de Sophie Marceau... Assez, assez, assez, assez
Bon, Cupidon est dispensé Les abeilles et les crustacés OK, mais pas les chiens dressés Les pit-bulls et les verres cassés Les cutters des cours de lycée Les harponneurs de cétacés Tout ce qui blesse, ooh! c'est assez Effacez tout, recommencez...
Papa says... there are clothes to wash
Sister says... brush your hair
You'll go down... to the laundromat
Maybe your sister is there
Father says... when you're young like this...
Things can seem... pretty bad
Let's get out... and walk by the river
And there are people who roam the Docklands
And there are ships passing in the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight
Sister says... hold your head up high
Life goes on... so don't be afraid
Keep your defenses... but don't shut the loving out
You got to learn to carry that weight
And all the people who roam the Docklands
And all the ships passing through the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
And there's a mirror I'm looking through
Lost in the place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to
Hold on... hold on
Hold on... hold on
In the Docklands where I was born...
People keep moving to and fro
Everybody's pushing... trying to make it happen
I beg of you... I beg of you... I beg of you
I miss you... more than I thought I could
I need you... more than you know
I was there... when they took you away from me
I'll be there... when they let you go
And then the people who roam the Docklands
And all the ships passing in the night
And the thousands of things that I have dreamed
Stay in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
And there's a mirror I'm looking through
Well bring me back to the place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to
Give me your hand
Give me your hand... give me your hand
Give me your hand... in the Docklands
I... beg of you... give me your hand
In the Docklands
Beds Are Burning Composer(s): Rob Hirst - Jim Moginie - Peter Garrett First release by: Midnight Oil - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
Out where the river broke The blood wood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boiling diesels Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share
The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent, now To pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore East to Yuendemu The western desert lives and breathes In forty five degrees
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent, now To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them We're gonna give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Doch Einer Spielt Akkordeon ((French & Spanish Versions: Mais Il Y A L'accordéon (Dalida); Al Escuchar Mi Acordeón (Dalida)) Composer(s): Johnny Rech - Hachfeld Performer(s): Dalida
Ich seh die welt in resignation Ich seh den krieg die aggression Die erde erschuttern revolution Herzen aus stein hass nur und hohn
Ich weiss diese welt ist böse statt gut Ich weiss der himmel der über uns ruht Mit rosa wolken in sanfter glut Ist ein spiegel der erde rot von blut
Doch einer spielt Akkordeon Spielt mit passion Akkordeon Und es erblüht in seinem ton Die welt als schöne illusion Doch einer spielt Akkordeon Spielt mit passion Akkordeon Und es erschalit bei seinem ton Die ganze schöne welt
Die Liebe endet so olt im streit Es klagt ein herz in der einsamkeit Wir taumein, taumein Durch unsere zeit Wir suchen das Glück Das Glück ist weit
Doch einer spielt Akkordeon Spielt mit passion Akkordeon Und es erblüht in seinem ton Die welt als schöne illusion Doch einer spielt Akkordeon Spielt mit passion Akkordeon Und es erschalit bei seinem ton Die ganze schöne welt
Dort im bistro, um das die katzen streichen Ein gläschen wein, lass uns die hände reichen Die dunklen schatten sollen von uns weichen Nichts mehr von schmerz Enttäuschung und dergleichen
Und einer spielt Akkordeon Spielt mit passion Akkordeon Und es erblüht in seinem ton Frankreich als schöne ilusion Und einer spielt Akkerdeon Spielt mit passion Akkordeon Und es erschallt bei seinem ton Ein schönes Frankreich
Aspetto Te ((Adapted from: Je T'attends ((by Charles Aznavour) - 1963)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Gilbert Bécaud - Georges Calabrese Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1975
Versions In Other Languages: 1966 - Ich Erwarte Dich (by Alexandra) 1966 - Waar Ben Jij (by Conny Vandenbos) 2000 - Te Espero (by Charles Aznavour)
Notti bianche, giorni neri senza te Hanno steso un velo d'ombra intorno a me Muore il tempo nella noia dei perché Da una vita senza gioia aspetto te L'aria della primavera che non c'è Col sorriso dei vent'anni in mano a te La mia calma e le tempeste cerco in te Da una vita senza gioie aspetto te Io son qui ed aspetto te Chiunque sai, ovunque vai Corri qui, da me Io son qui, sogno senza età E se non so che nome hai Ti chiamerò amor
Ogni giorno si trasforma accanto a te E la vita prende forma insieme a te Il mio attendere diventa in fondo a me Un pittore che ti inventa e aspetto te Una mano immaginaria innanzi a me Sta formandoti nell'aria e vedo te Ma nel sogno che si spezza, che non c'è Non rimane che tristezza, aspetto te Io son qui ed aspetto te Chiunque sei, ovunque vai Corri qui, corri qui da me Io, io son qui Sogno senza età E se non so che nome hai Ti chiamerò amor
Doce Campanadas Composer(s): Federico Baena Performer(s): Javier Solís
Llegó la media noche con su sombra de recuerdos las horas se hacen viejas y la luna bostezó Y escucho en la distancia con el aletear del viento un organillo triste que me canta tu canción
Llegó la media noche con su ruido de silencio las cosas que dejaste aún te esperan como yo La historia se repite noche a noche y tú no llegas son doce campanadas que me llenan de dolor
Llegó la media noche con su ruido de silencio las cosas que dejaste aún te esperan como yo La historia se repite noche a noche y tú no llegas son doce campanadas que me llenan de dolor

Elke morgen om half negen Komen wij Katinka tegen Rode muts en blonde lok Hel geel truitje, blauwe rok Maar ze trippelt zwijgend naast haar ma Daarom zingen alle jongens haar verlangend na Kleine kokette Katinka Kijk nou eens een keertje om Stiekempjes over je schouder Je ma ziet het toch niet dus kom Kleine kokette Katinka Ben je verlegen misschien We willen zo graag nog heel even Een glimp van je wipneusje zien
Elke morgen, zon of regen Komen wij Katinka tegen Hakjes tik-tak op de stoep Korte rok met nauwe coup Maar haar blik verraadt geen nee of ja Daarom zingen alle jongens haar verlangend na

Love is a glass of wine Balanced on the siderail of a ship Across the sea at midnight, it may not last the daylight And the trip is long And the waves are strong But then again, it might be up there forever I've heard of birds that never touch the land But sleep on the winds And if untouched by someone's careless hand Asleep on the winds Our love might last until the journey's end Alive Alive
And our lives are just bubbles of time They're rainbow-colored and They're shining in the sun They drift above the treetops now In danger if the breeze drops somehow And darling, that's all it would take And yet we threaten not to break And you know we could be up here forever I've heard of birds that never touch the land But sleep on the winds And if untouched by someone's careless hand Asleep on the winds Our lives might last untill the love begins
So stay alive and let me try as hard as you do To stay alive, please let me be as much alive as you Alive Alive

Do You? Don't You? Will You? Won't You? Composer(s): Eddy Eckels; Leroy Stover
Do you know my heart's aching Wondering if you'll say no Don't you see that it's breaking Because I love you so Will you give me a chance dear Girlies like you are quite few Won't you think dear how lonesome life is without a girl like you
Do you remember kid days You used to tease me then too Don't you see with those kid ways That you make me feel blue Will you come close and whisper That you've been teasing in fun Won't you be mine for now I think it's time our hearts were made one
Do you, Don't you, Will you, Won't you Love me sweetheart dear Can I, Can't I, Shall I, Shan't I with you be sincere Will you, won't you love but me Would you, could you, happy be Do you? Don't you? Will you? Won't you love me tenderly?
Come to me before your friends tell you They can't help you I'm your woman I should be the first one to know If you want something If you need something Why do you think I work so hard And do all the things I do Because I don't want nobody else to do a thing for you
Baby, baby please ask me what you want And I'll try my best to get it, get it, get it, get it Ask me what you want And I'll try my best to get it, get it, get it, get it
You've shown me that a woman's place Is right beside her man This I can understand That foolish pride keeps pushing aside All the things I wanna do for you I'm on your side Don't you know that when you're down I'm the one you should turn to
Don't be ashamed because it's the same Thing I expect of you Baby, baby please Why should my giving you things make you feel insecure I'm also giving you all the love anyone can endure

Do You Want My Job
Composer(s): Ry Cooder - John Hiatt - Jim Keltner - Nick Lowe
Performer(s): Little Village
Cool breezes from the mountains blow
As I wake up and dress to go
On the island dawn is breaking
In the harbour tanker`s waiting
From the land of the rising sun
They bring their old plutonium
And we unload it in the bay
For two dollars forty cents a day
Do you want my
Do you want my
Do you want my
Do you want my job
I hump the stuff I take the cash
So my kids can wear Adidas
And if you live here home you know
We ain`t got no place else to go
I remember when the air was sweet
And I brought home the fish to eat
Now we buy Spam from the grocery store
'Cause you can eat the fish no more
Do you want my
Do you want my
Do you want my
Do you want my job
