Avron knows - Just a gypsy Look at his clothes - He thinks he's trippy He saw the stars - So what, that's nothing He's on the run - So what will that bring? He loves [to be / the bees ?] - Ah, so do we He loves the flowers - Stupid flower power He thinks he's free - Well, so do we He's got no home - Toss him a bone
Avron knows Avron knows
He's where it's at - Stupid prat He loves the girls - He's from another world His love is [sweet / free ?] - [?] He don't bother no-one - Well leave him alone He hides away - We'll find him today He'll try to shout - We'll drag him out He'll try to cry - We'll smash his eye He'll scream out why - [Just let him?] try
Avron knows Avron knows
On a [sweltering / sheltering / warm spring ?] day He'll be over the hill In the beautiful land With his love of loves The sun will shine Now he's alive A beautiful mind He's the happiest man
Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By
Composer(s): Sharon Rucker
Performer(s): Ferlin Husky
and multiple other artists
Did you ever lie and listen to the rain fall Did you ever own a homemade apple pie Did you ever watch a child while he was praying Friend don't let the good life pass you by Did you ever hold a hand to stop its trembling Did you ever watch the sun desert the sky Did you ever hold a woman while she's sleeping Friend don't let the good life pass you by Man was made for loving not for buying Gold can't give you things we really need Just look my friend there's happiness in living Somewhere between broke and being free Did you ever see the funny side of losin' Did you ever sit right down and have a cry Did you ever take the time to help your neighbor Just don't let the good life pass you by Man was made for loving... Just don't let the good life pass you by
Avrai sorrisi sul tuo viso come ad agosto grilli e stelle storie fotografate dentro un album rilegato in pelle tuoni d'aerei supersonici che fanno alzar la testa e il buio all'alba che si fa d'argento alla finestra avrai un telefono vicino che vuol dire già aspettare schiuma di cavalloni pazzi che si inseguono nel mare e pantaloni bianchi da tirare fuori che è già estate un treno per l'America senza fermate.
Avrai due lacrime più dolci da seccare un sole che si uccide e pescatori di telline e neve di montagne e pioggia di colline avrai un legnetto di cremino da succhiare avrai una donna acerba e un giovane dolore viali di foglie in fiamme ad incendiarti il cuore avrai una sedia per posarti e ore vuote come uova di cioccolato ed un amico che ti avrà deluso tradito e ingannato...
Avrai, avrai, avrai il tuo tempo per andar lontano camminerai dimenticando, ti fermerai sognando... Avrai, avrai, avrai la stessa mia triste speranza e sentirai di non avere amato mai abbastanza se amore, amore avrai...
Avrai parole nuove da cercare quando viene sera e cento ponti da passare e far suonare la ringhiera la prima sigaretta che ti fuma in gola un po' di tosse Natale di agrifoglio e candeline rosse avrai un lavoro da sudare mattini fradici di brividi e rugiada giochi elettronici e sassi per la strada avrai ricordi ombrelli e chiavi da scordare
Avrai carezze per parlare con i cani e sarà sempre di domenica domani e avrai discorsi chiusi dentro e mani che frugano le tasche della vita ed una radio per sentire che la guerra è finita...
Avrai, avrai, avrai il tuo tempo per andar lontano camminerai dimenticando, ti fermerai sognando... Avrai, avrai, avrai la stessa mia triste speranza e sentirai di non avere amato mai abbastanza se amore, amore, amore, amore avrai...
Don't Let The Blues Make You Bad Composer(s): Billy Mize Performer(s): Dean Martin
Don't let the blues make you bad It hurts so much to lose, I know you're sad Now you search for fun you never had Alright, but don't let the blues make you bad
Don't go too far at the bar Don't let 'em change what you are They'll take advantage of the pain Their world and yours are not the same
Don't let the fools tell you lies While they hold you close and sympathise Your kind of pride they never had Don't let the blues make you bad Oh, don't let the blues make you bad
Don't Let That Moon Get Away Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco Performer(s): Mel Tormé and multiple other artists
Its one of those nights for adventure We ought to be recklessly gay Who knows what well find, so if youre inclined Dont let that moon get away
Your eyes have a way of revealing The thoughts that you really should say It may be romance, so while theres a chance Dont let that moon get away
And dont let this meeting adjourn And dont be so ready to go But now is the right time to learn What every young heart should know
These moments dont happen so often It doesnt seem right to delay If you feel a tune, whatever you do Dont let that moon get away
Its one of those nights for adventure We ought to be recklessly gay
Your eyes have a way of revealing The thoughts that you really should say
And dont let this meeting adjourn And dont be so ready to go Now is the right time to learn Look out!
These moments dont happen so often I kinda think we shouldnt delay If you feel it too, heres what you do You better take advice from Torme And dont let that moon get away Dont you there let that moon get away Baby, dont let that moon get away Its one of those nights for adventure
Avond Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Lennaert H. Nijgh Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Nu hoef je nooit je jas meer aan te trekken en te hopen dat je licht het doet Laat buiten de stormwind nu maar razen in het donker,want binnen is het warm en licht en goed Hand in hand naar buiten kijken waar de regen valt Ik zie het vuur van hoop en twijfel in je ogen en ik ken je diepste angst
Want je kunt niets zeker weten en alles gaat voorbij Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
En als je 's morgens opstaat ben ik bij je en misschien heb ik al thee gezet En als de zon schijnt buiten gaan we lopen door de duinen en als het regent gaan we terug in bed Uren langzaam wakker worden, zwevend door de tijd, ik zie het licht door de gordijnen en ik weet 't Verleden geeft geen zekerheid
Want je kunt niets zeker weten en alles gaat voorbij Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
Ik doe de lichten uit en de kamer wordt nu donker, een straatlantaarn buiten geeft wat licht En de dingen in de kamer worden vrienden die gaan slapen, de stoelen staan te wachten op 't ontbijt En morgen word ik wakker met de geur van brood en honing, de glans van 't gouden zonlicht in jouw haar En de dingen in de kamer, ik zeg ze welterusten, vanavond gaan we slapen en morgen zien we wel
Maar de dingen in de kamer zouden levenloze dingen zijn, zonder jou En je kunt niets zeker weten, want alles gaat voorbij Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
En je kunt niets zeker weten, want alles gaat voorbij Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij

Avion Blanc Composer(s): J.P. Lang Performer(s): Dave
C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc Il s'en va seul dans le vent, le vent C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc Et toi qui t'en va dedans, dedans Mais qu'est-ce qu'y a donc entre nous deux Mais qu'est-ce qu'il y a donc entre toi et moi, et moi Des kilomètres de ciel bleu Et des tonnes de nostalgia, déjà, déjà Et cet avion qui s'en va! J'comprends pas, tu t'en vas, j'reste là
C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc Et je m'sens bleu tout à coup c'est fou Faut dire qu'ça fait longtemps, longtemps Y a comme un guide entre nous et nous Les mots c'est rien que des mensonges Il faut jamais croire ce qu'on dit, tant pis, tant pis Quelque part j'ai le cur qui plonge Après tout c'est peut-être la pluie, aussi, aussi Et cette avion qui s'en va J'comprends pas, tu t'en vas, j'reste là C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc Qui s'en va seul dans le vent, le vent Des mots c'est rien que des mensonges J'comprends pas Quelque part j'ai le cur qui plonge J'comprends pas C'est un avion tout blanc, tout blanc J'comprends pas

Avenues And Alleyways Composer(s): Peter Callander - Mitch Murray Performer(s): Tony Christie; G.B.H.
Sleep like a baby My little lady Dream till the sunrise Creeps into your eyes Dream till the sunrise Turns on the day. In the Avenues and Alleyways While you sleep there's a whole world coming alive Able and his brother, fighting one another In and out of every dive The Avenues and Alleyways Where the strong and the quick alone can survive Look around the jungle See the rough and tumble Listen to a squealer cry Then a little later In the morning paper Read about the way he died Wake up my pretty Go to the city Stay through the daytime Safe in the sunshine Stay till the daytime Turns into night In the Avenues and Alleyways Where a man's gotta work out which side he's on Any way he chooses Chances are he loses No one gets to live too long The avenues and alleyways Where the soul of a man is easy to buy Everybody's wheeling Everybody's steeling All the low are living high Every city's got 'em Can we ever stop 'em Some of us are gonna try
Don't Let My Teardrops Bother You
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Edward Holland Jr. - Richard Wylie
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; The Supremes
If I should shed a tear It's just the love I'm showing, believe in me If I should shed my pride It's just to show how much I love you so And where you go my love will be there with you No matter where you are or if you find someone new Long ago I willed my life to you And I can't change my heart (Can't change my heart) Even though (Even though) we'll be apart (We'll be apart)
Don't let my teardrops bother you The reason I'm crying, I can't believe we're through Don't let my teardrops bother you If you must leave me, do what you gotta do
If I should beg and plead It's just because of love and the need I have for you If I should start crying one more time It's just because I'm praying you'll change your mind And maybe find there's something you're leaving behind Maybe you'll see where you belong But if someone has managed to erase me And she's what you want (If she's what you want) She's what you want (What you want) to replace me (To replace me)
Don't let my teardrops bother you The reason I'm crying, I can't believe we're through Don't let my teardrops bother you You must leave me, do what you gotta do

Je viens du fond des âges et viens du bout des choses J'ai vécu mille fois plus que n'importe qui J'ai été dans la lune avant qu'on ne s'y pose Par la magie du rêve et de la poésie J'ai fais le tour des êtres, et le tour de moi-même Associant la jeunesse à un sport dangereux J'ai dit cent fois adieu, autant de fois je t'aime Avant que de partir sans détourner les yeux
Mais avec toi ma douce, ma tendre, ma mie Avec toi il en est autrement Avec toi je cherche, j'invente, j'apprends D'autres mots, d'autres gestes Avec toi ma reine, ma belle, ma vie Avec toi j'ai le coeur au printemps Avec toi j'espère, je rêve, j'oublie Tout le reste
Je viens du fond des temps des plaisirs et du vice D'au-delà du possible de l'imagination Je viens du bout du monde où dans des précipices Repose ma folie, avec mes illusions j'ai récolté du plomb dans des guerres insipides Et j'ai semé de l'or sur des tables de jeux J'ai vomi des alcools de tavernes sordides J'ai imploré le ciel, et j'ai blasphémé Dieu
Mais avec toi ma douce, ma tendre, ma mie Avec toi il en est autrement Avec toi je cherche, j'invente, j'apprends D'autres mots, d'autres gestes Avec toi ma reine, ma belle, ma vie Avec toi j'ai le coeur au printemps Avec toi j'espère, je rêve, j'oublie Tout le reste

I'm tempted my darlin' to steal you away Don't let me cross over, stay out of my way 'Cause you know that I love you and I'm not the stealin' kind But I'm faced with heartache here at love's cheating line

Avec Les Pompiers Composer(s): Charlys Couvé - Henry Himmel Performer(s): Fred Adison
Chez nous au village On est à la page Car nous avons fondé Une compagnie d'pompiers Ils se présentèrent Chez "Mossieu" le Maire Qui fit un grand discours Pour fêter ce beau jour
Nous avons bien rigolé La fanfare a défilé Avec les pompom... Avec les pompom... Avec les pompiers Au bistrot l'on a trinqué Et la jeunesse a dansé Avec les pompom... Avec les pompom... Avec les pompiers Y avait l'instituteur Le préfet, le facteur La femme au pharmacien Qui dit du mal de ses voisins Dans le pays tout entier On a fait tous les cafés Avec les pompom... Avec les pompom... Avec les pompiers.
Hier soir une Delage Prit feu dans l'garage Ne voyant pas la nuit Leur pompe à incendie Ils prirent sans méfiance La pompe à essence Pour arroser le feu Ils firent la queue leu leu
Nous avons bien rigolé Tout le village à flambé Avec les pompom... Avec les pompom... Avec les pompiers Comme ils étaient affolés On a fait un défilé Avec les pompom... Avec les pompom... Avec les pompiers Le capitaine avait Requis tous les objets Des plats, des vieux chapeaux Pour faire la chaîne avec de l'eau Enfin, ça s'est arrêté Y avait plus rien à brûler Avec les pompom... Avec les pompom... Avec les pompiers
Cette chaude alerte Causa bien des pertes Après les explosions Ce fut l'inondation Fallut à la nage Traverser l'village Oui, mais pour boire un coup Y avait plus d'eau du tout
Nous avons bien rigolé On a failli se noyer Avec les pompom... Avec les pompom... Avec les pompiers Comme il restait un café On y rentra pour sécher Avec les pompom... Avec les pompom... Avec les pompiers Nous n'avions plus beaucoup Les yeux en face des trous Et tout en nous tordant Nous tordions aussi nos vêtements En famille on est rentré Mais tous les administrés Avaient leur pompon Avaient leur pompon Avec les pompiers

Baby, do you understand me now? Sometimes I feel a little mad But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel When things go wrong I feel real bad
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry And then you're bound to see my other side
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy, I want you to know That I never mean to take it out on you Life has its problems, and I get my share And that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you Oh
Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human I have thoughts like any other one Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
