Australia Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): Steve Howe
Play the halls See the stalls tonight Open roads the like Across the dateline change will never strike
Australia lies ahead Australia, we head for the mainland Clutching our gifts from the East Only to find out
Planes and the highways Strain the paths and the by-ways Remain, still it's leading me Closer to you
Australia, we're leaving you behind Australia, we're taking the easy way out From now on
"Come to," can't get away from ya still "Come to, we'll take good care of ya"
Australia, you save your face while fashions slip Australia, you're balanaced between The powers' tightening grip I've been to, it's a long way for ya still "Go via, they'll take care of ya"
Don't Do Me Like That
Composer(s): Tom Petty
First release by: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - 1979
I was talkin' with a friend of mine
Said a woman done hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so, then
Turned around and let him go
Then he said "you'd better watch your step"
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday I'll need ya baby
Don't do me like that
Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is sayin'
Love doesn't last that long...
I have the feeling inside, Lord I don't need it
I know I can't take it no more....
Someday I'll need ya baby
Don't do me like that
Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Sans vouloir vraiment Sans intention Sans poser l'ombre d'une question Comme en passant
Sans qu'il soit trop tard Sans déraison Sans s'inquiéter de n'pas savoir Sans se dire non
Se laisser glisser très tendrement Se chavirer tout simplement Le corps brûlant Rien de la vie Rien ne me laisse Aussi vivant Aussi vivant
Sans se dire pourquoi Et sans comment Sans s'envelopper de faux-semblants Et sans contrat
Se laisser aimer très doucement Et s'emmêler obstinément À leurs tourments Rien de la vie Rien ne me laisse Aussi vivant Aussi vivant
Se laisser glisser très tendrement Se chavirer tout simplement Se laisser aimer très doucement Et s'emmêler obstinément
Sans vouloir toujours tellement frémir Sans se convaincre de l'amour sans s'éblouir Se serrer tout contre cet instant Se laisser jouer tout simplement Comme des enfants
Rien de la vie Rien ne me laisse Aussi vivant Aussi vivant
Rien de la vie Vaut qu'on se lasse D'être vivant
Se laisser glisser très tendrement Se chavirer tout simplement Se laisser aimer très doucement Et s'emmêler obstinément
Don't Do It Composer(s): Johnny Burnette Performer(s): Johnny Burnette
If I had a girl that loved me Just as much as she loves you I'd stay in her arms every doggone day And never would be untrue You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
Well you told her lies and alibis You tried to make her think you care But when she wants the little bit of love you promised She can't find it anywhere You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
One of these days you're gonna find yourself All alone and oh so blue Don't come to me for sympathy 'Cause it'll be too late There won't be a thing I can do for you
Well you'd better take her in your lovin' arms And tell her that you're so ashamed Don't try to be smart and break her heart 'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
One of these days you're gonna find yourself All alone and oh so blue Don't come to me for sympathy 'Cause it'll be too late There won't be a thing I can do for you
Well you'd better take her in your lovin' arms And tell her that you're so ashamed Don't try to be smart and break her heart 'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
(repeat): You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
Aussi Dur Que Du Bois ((Adapted from: Knock On Wood (by Eddie Floyd) - 1966)) Composer(s): Eddie Floyd - Steve Cropper - Georges Aber Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1967
Quand j'étais enfant on disait Que j'étais un vaurien Et je traînais Dans les rues tout le temps Avec les mêmes copains Oui, je m'en souviens On se cognait, frappait J'avais la tête aussi dure Aussi dure que du bois Je crois
Plus tard dans la vie J'ai donné Mon amour aux filles Quel temps perdu À les aimer pour rien Tous mes ennuis, chagrins Oui, je m'en souviens Et j'ai souffert l'enfer Et j'ai le cur aussi dur Aussi dur que du bois Je crois
Je cherche encore un amour Qui peux tout sauver Amour d'un jour J'en ai plus qu'assez Ils m'ont fait du mal Le voilà mon secret Ne cherchez pas pourquoi Si j'ai le cur aussi dur Aussi dur que du bois C'est ça
Aussi dur que du bois C'est ça Aussi dur que du bois Aussi dur, dur, dur que du bois Aussi dur que du bois...
Don't Dilly Dally On The Way ((aka My Old Man (Said Follow The Van))
Composer(s): Charles Collins - Fred W. Leigh
Performer(s): Mary Lloyd
We had to move away
'Cos the rent we couldn't pay
The moving van came round just after dark
There was me and my old man
Shoving things inside the van
Which we'd often done before, let me remark
We packed all that could be packed
In the van, and that's a fact
And we got inside all that we could get inside
Then we packed all we could pack
On the tailboard at the back
Till there wasn't any room for me to ride
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam
And you can't trust a "Special"
Like the old-time copper
When you can't find your way home
I gave a helping hand
With the marble wash hand-stand
And straight, we wasn't getting on so bad
All at once, the car-man bloke
Had an accident and broke
Well, the nicest bit of china that we had
You'll understand, of course
I was cross about the loss
Same as any other human woman would
But I soon got over that
What with "two out" and a chat
'Cos it's little things like that what does you good
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam
Oh! I'm in such a mess
I don't know the new address
Don't even know the blessed neighbourhood
And I feel as if I might
Have to stay out here all night
And that ain't a goin' to do me any good
I don't make no complaint
But I'm coming over faint
What I want now's a good substantial feed
And I sort 'o kind 'o feel
If I don't soon have a meal
I shall have to rob the linnet of its seed!
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam
Ausencia Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Me duelen las sombras que ocultan el alma si el alma es la mente y la sombra, distancia Me duele la ausencia de mentes más claras que nunca por claras tuvieron morada
Don't Cry Wolf Composer(s): Brian James Performer(s): The Damned
You don't have to listen To what your parents say They don't understand us Their laws we don't obey You can wear what you want There ain't no uniform Go where you want to go Don't stay locked at home
Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf
You stand stand around now Looking like fools But there's a lot you could do There ain't no rules No point in getting bored That won't help if you fail
So come and have some fun now Help us smash it all
Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf
It's no good for you kids Being told what to do There's a lot of kicks for you If you find something new
You don't have to listen To what your parents say They don't understand us Their laws we don't obey You can wear what you want And there ain't no uniform Go where you want to go Don't stay at home
Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf
Aurore Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat First release by: Pierre Rapsat - 1992
Il y a dans les yeux d'Aurore À l'encre des années écrites sur un livre d'or Toute une histoire qui brille C'est tout simplement sa vie Et les souvenirs Que je peux lire Vous emmène danser Dans son passé
Danse, danse, dansait Aurore Avec ton fiancé Danse, danse, dansait Aurore Et vive les mariés
Mais il y a dans les yeux d'Aurore Elle et ses enfants qui fuirent l'Espagne à l'aurore Ils sont venus lui prendre Celui qu'elle aime, Franco Sombre souvenir Que je peux lire Gravé dans le passé Dans son passé
Danse, danse, dansait l'Aurore C'est la fin de l'été Danse, danse, dansait l'Aurore Elle n'a plus jamais dansé
L'histoire est souvent cruelle Elle a quitté le soleil Pour arriver dans ce plat pays Pour que ses enfants grandissent ici
Pour que les siens survivent Pour qu'un jour je puisse lui dire En 1900 est né quelqu'un d'épatant Et même si longtemps elle est restée belle Elle est à jamais fidèle Aux souvenirs Qui l'emmènent danser dans son passé
Danse, danse, danse Aurore Avec ton fiancé Danse, danse, danse Aurore Et vive les mariés
Don't Cry Out Loud
Composer(s): Peter Allen - Carole Bayer Sager
First release by: Peter Allen - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
Baby cried the day the circus came to town 'Cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown While she danced without a net upon the wire I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see Baby is an awful lot like me Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down They left behind her dreams among the litter The different kind of love she thought she'd found There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter But baby can't be broken 'cause you see She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er
Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost made it
Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
Aurora Borie Alice Composer(s): Walter Peirson Jr. - Samuel K. Stinger Jr.
Little Eskimo, in your house of snow Way up by the Polar Sea
Yet there is no light the long Artic night And I must soon go away
Sweet Aurora Borie Alice In your snowy crystal palace There's no girl in all the world compares to you And although your skin is yellow Yet I want to be your fellow Underneath I know your heart is true
Joni was the girl who lived next door I've known her, I guess, ten years or more Joni wrote me a note one day And this is what she had to say
Joni: (Jimmy, please say you'll wait for me) (I'll grow up someday you'll see) (Saving all my kisses just for you) (Signed with love forever true)
Slowly I read her note once more I went over to the house next door Her teardrops fell like rain that day When I told Joni what I had to say
Joni, Joni please don't cry You'll forget me by and by You're just fifteen, I'm twenty-two And Joni, I just can't wait for you
Soon I left our little home town Got me a job and tried to settle down But those words kept haunting my memory The words that Joni wrote to me
Joni: (Jimmy, please say you'll wait for me) (I'll grow up someday you'll see) (Saving all my kisses just for you) (Signed with love forever true)
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane I had to see Joni, I had to explain How my heart was filled with her memory And ask my Joni if she'd marry me
I ran all the way to the house next door But things weren't like they were before My teardrops fell like rain that day When I heard what Joni had to say
Joni: (Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry) (You'll forget me by and by) (It's been five years since you've been gone) (And Jimmy, I married your best friend John)
Auprès De Mon Arbre Composer(s): Georges Brassens First release by: Georges Brassens
J'ai plaqué mon chêne Comme un saligaud Mon copain le chêne Mon alter ego On était du même bois Un peu rustique un peu brut Dont on fait n'importe quoi Sauf naturell'ment les flûtes J'ai maint'nant des frênes Des arbres de judée Tous de bonne graine De haute futaie Mais toi, tu manque à l'appel Ma vieille branche de campagne Mon seul arbre de Noël Mon mât de cocagne
Auprès de mon arbre Je vivais heureux J'aurais jamais dû M'éloigner d' mon arbre Auprès de mon arbre Je vivais heureux J'aurais jamais dû Le quitter des yeux
Je suis un pauvr' type J'aurais plus de joie J'ai jeté ma pipe Ma vieill' pipe en bois Qu'avait fumé sans s' fâcher Sans jamais m'brûlé la lippe L'tabac d'la vache enragée Dans sa bonn' vieill' têt' de pipe J'ai des pip's d'écume Ornées de fleurons De ces pip's qu'on fume En levant le front Mais j'retrouv'rai plus ma foi Dans mon cur ni sur ma lippe Le goût d'ma vieill' pipe en bois Sacré nom d'un' pipe
Auprès de mon arbre Je vivais heureux J'aurais jamais dû M'éloigner d' mon arbre Auprès de mon arbre Je vivais heureux J'aurais jamais dû Le quitter des yeux
Le surnom d'infâme Me va comme un gant D'avecques ma femme J'ai foutu le camp Parc' que depuis tant d'années C'était pas un' sinécure De lui voir tout l'temps le nez Au milieu de la figure Je bas la campagne Pour dénicher la Nouvelle compagne Valant celles-là Qui, bien sûr, laissait beaucoup Trop de pierr's dans les lentilles Mais se pendait à mon cou Quand j'perdais mes billes
Auprès de mon arbre Je vivais heureux J'aurais jamais dû M'éloigner d' mon arbre Auprès de mon arbre Je vivais heureux J'aurais jamais dû Le quitter des yeux
J'avais un' mansarde Pour tout logement Avec des lézardes Sur le firmament Je l'savais par cur depuis Et pour un baiser la course J'emmenais mes bell's de nuits Faire un tour sur la grande ourse J'habit' plus d' mansarde Il peut désormais Tomber des hall'bardes Je m'en bats l'il mais Mais si quelqu'un monte aux cieux Moins que moi j'y paie des prunes Y a cent sept ans qui dit mieux Qu' j'ai pas vu la lune
Auprès de mon arbre Je vivais heureux J'aurais jamais dû M'éloigner d' mon arbre Auprès de mon arbre Je vivais heureux J'aurais jamais dû Le quitter des yeux

Auprès De Ma Tombe Composer(s): Michel Sardou Performer(s): Michel Sardou
Au soir de notre amour Quand tu seras bien vieille Et quand j'aurai aussi Des rides autour des yeux Je sais qu'au fond de moi Au plus près de ma tombe Je souffrirai du mal De ne plus faire l'amour
Au soir de notre vie Quand nous serons deux ombres Et quand nos corps flétris S'endormiront encore Je sais qu'au fond de moi Au plus près de ma tombe Je souffrirai du mal De te vouloir encore
Et quand, les mains croisées Je serai seul et sombre A compter les années Que je n'ai pas dormi Je sais qu'au fond de moi Au plus près de ma tombe Je souffrirai surtout De ne plus être un homme... Un homme

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after all I've done You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen, I had to change Could'nt stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around trying ev'rything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days my mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world They were all I desired They are illusions They're not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days my mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you But all you have to do is look at me To know that ev'ry word is true
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days my mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days my mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep my distance

I heard them engines runnin' On the road away from home Sound like thunder callin' out my name Well I listened hard the first time That I heard 'em roll along I listened and I'd never been the same
Well, don't cry, cry, Blue 'Cause I'm comin' home to you Well, I walked with you this mornin' And I'll sleep with you tonight Don't cry, cry, Blue
A highway's just a two lane road Connecting either way Oh, I've seen enough of this end for awhile But I've got to go the distance Till I know I've seen a change I've got to know the feel of every mile
Well, don't cry, cry, Blue 'Cause I'm comin' home to you Well, I walked with you this mornin' And I'll sleep with you tonight Don't cry, cry, Blue
Don't cry, cry, Blue 'Cause I'm comin' home to you Well, I walked with you this mornin' And I'll sleep with you tonight Don't cry, cry, Blue
When my head is achin' Full of everywhere I've been Oh, I've turned my face around the other way Well, I'll meet you at the mailbox Read you all my cards Tell you what I really meant to say
Well, don't cry, cry, Blue 'Cause I'm comin' home to you Well, I walked with you this mornin' And I'll sleep with you tonight Don't cry, cry, Blue Well, don't cry, cry, Blue, don't cry
