Comme un oiseau qui fait ce qu'il peut

La ballade des gens heureux
Tu viens de chanter la ballade 
La ballade des gens heureux

You ain't never had to cry baby
Don't start cryin' now
You ain't never had to cry baby
Don't start cryin' now
You never did it before
Don't do you no good no how

Cry cry baby, cry cry, all night long
Cry cry baby, cry cry, all night long
You're gonna wake up in the mornin'
And find your good man gone

Well you brag 'bout your woman
Take one look at mine
Well you brag 'bout your woman
A take one look at mine
She's as sweet as any angel
Make-a love most all the time

Cry cry baby, cry cry all night long
Cry cry baby, cry cry all night long
You might wake up in the morning
And find your good man gone

Ooh!

Well I sent for you yesterday
Here you come walkin' today
Well I sent for you yesterday
Here you come walkin' today
Got you all fired up
And don't know what I said

Cry cry baby, cry cry all night long
Cry cry baby, cry cry all night long
Gonna wake up in the mornin'
Find your good man gone

Well cry cry baby, cry cry all night long
(Well) cry cry baby, cry cry all night long
You're gonna wake up in the mornin'
And find your good man gone

Aan alle mensen hier op deze aarde
Geniet een lach, kijk niet zo bedrukt
Ik zing voor jullie de ballade
De ballade van het geluk
Ik zing voor jullie de ballade
De ballade van het geluk

Jij hoeft geen hoge titel of geen graden
Maar praat met God, zelfs vanuit je truck
Ik zing voor jou ook de ballade
De ballade van het geluk
Ik zing voor jou ook de ballade
De ballade van het geluk

Journalisten van het leukste blaadje
Dit is tot nog toe je beste stuk
Ik vind je titel formidabel
Zangeresje bezingt geluk
Ik vind je titel formidabel
Zangeresje bezingt geluk

Jij dit alles zo mooi gezaaid hebt
Je hebt het altijd veel te druk
Ik zing voor jou dus de ballade
De ballade van het geluk
Ik zing voor jou dus de ballade
De ballade van het geluk

Ze is ons kind en ze lijkt op ons samen
Mijn kleine meid, mijn kapoen, mijn uk
Ik zing voor haar ook de ballade
De ballade van het geluk
Ik zing voor haar ook de ballade
De ballade van het geluk

Superstar stop je serenade
Onder de tol van de roem gebukt
En zing met ons mee de ballade
De ballade van het geluk
En zing met ons mee de ballade
De ballade van het geluk

Koning clown met je lach en je tranen
Charmeur, acteur, ik wens jou good luck
En zing voor jou ook de ballade
De ballade van het geluk
En zing voor jou ook de ballade
De ballade van het geluk

Ik hou van koren en kathedralen
Van chansonniers, zittend op een kruk
Ik zing met hen graag de ballade
De ballade van het geluk
Ik zing met hen graag de ballade
De ballade van het geluk...

Don't Stand So Close To Me
Composer(s): Sting
First release by: The Police - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Young teacher the subject of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl is an open page
Book marking she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous 
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes its not so easy
To be the teachers pet
Temptation, frustration so bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Loose, talk, in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in that book by Nabakov
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me

In een wereld vol met mooie dromen leef ik nu helemaal alleen
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee
Op een regenboog met mooie kleuren zie ik jou al spelen met de zon
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee 
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee
'k Zag een hemel met wel duizend vogels ze floten mee met deze melodie
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee 
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee
Ik zag vlinderdjes met gouden vleugels en ze hadden het nog over jou
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee 
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee
Op de wolken kon je zo maar lopen en je hoeft er niet eens naar school
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee 
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee
En de maan was daar een echte glijbaan die ongeduldig op jullie wacht
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee 
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee
Ik zag een dierentuin die had geen tralies de dieren dansen daar de hele nacht
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee 
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee
't Kan wel zijn dat jullie mij niet geloven maar ik verzeker je het is echt waar
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee 
En ik wil je zo graag vragen zo graag vragen ga je met me mee

Don't Sleep In The Subway
Composer(s): Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent
First release by: Petula Clark - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



You wander around on your own little cloud
when you don't see the why, or the where for
You walk out on me when we both disagree
'cause to reason is not what you care for

I've heard it all a million time before
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door

Don't sleep in the subway, darling
Don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darling
The night is lonely 
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong 
Now you're beside me again

You try to be smart, then you take it apart
'cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
You don't realize that it's all compromise
and the problems are so overrated

Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go

Don't sleep in the subway, darling
Don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darling
The night is lonely 
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong 
Now you're beside me again 

La Ballade Des Cimetières
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



J'ai des tombeaux en abondance
Des sépultur's à discrétion
Dans tout cim'tièr' d'quelque importance
J'ai ma petite concession
De l'humble tertre au mausolée
Avec toujours quelqu'un dedans
J'ai des p'tit's boss's plein les allées
Et je suis triste, cependant...

Car je n'en ai pas, et ça m'agace
Et ça défrise mon blason
Au cimetièr' du Montparnasse
À quatre pas de ma maison

J'en possède au Père-Lachaise
A Bagneux, à Thiais, à Pantin
Et jusque, ne vous en déplaise
Au fond du cimetièr' marin
À la vill' comme à la campagne
Partout où l'on peut faire un trou
J'ai mêm' des tombeaux en Espagne
Qu'on me jalouse peu ou prou...

Mais j'n'en ai pas la moindre trace
Le plus humble petit soupçon
Au cimetièr' du Montparnasse
À quatre pas de ma maison

Le jour des morts, je cours, je vole
Je vais infatigablement
De nécropole en nécropole
De pierr' tombale en monument
On m'entrevoit sous un' couronne
D'immortelles à Champerret
Un peu plus tard, c'est à Charonne
Qu'on m'aperçoit sous un cyprès...

Mais, seul, un fourbe aura l'audace
De dir': "J'l'ai vu à l'horizon
Du cimetièr' du Montparnasse
À quatre pas de sa maison"

Devant l'château d'ma grand-tante
La marquise de Carabas
Ma saint' famille languit d'attente
"Mourra-t-ell', mourra-t-elle pas ?"
L'un veut son or, l'autre veut ses meubles
Qui ses bijoux, qui ses bib'lots
Qui ses forêts, qui ses immeubles
Qui ses tapis, qui ses tableaux...

Moi je n'implore qu'une grâce
C'est qu'ell' pass' la morte-saison
Au cimetièr' du Montparnasse
À quatre pas de ma maison

Ainsi chantait, la mort dans l'âme
Un jeune homm' de bonne tenue
En train de ranimer la flamme
Du soldat qui lui était connu
Or, il advint qu'le ciel eut marr' de
L'entendre parler d'ses caveaux
Et Dieu fit signe à la camarde
De l'expédier rue Froidevaux...

Mais les croqu'-morts, qui étaient de Chartres
Funeste erreur de livraison
Menèr'nt sa dépouille à Montmartre
De l'autr' côté de sa maison

Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree (with Anyone Else but Me)
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Sam H. Stept - Charles Tobias
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists



Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No! No! No!
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marchin' home

Don't go walkin' down Lover's Lane with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No! No! No!
Don't go walkin' down Lover's Lane with anyone else but me
Till I come marchin' home

I just got word from a guy who heard from the guy next door to me
The girl he met just loves to pet and it fits you to-a-tee
So, don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marchin' home

Don't give out with those lips of yours to anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No! No! No!
Watch the girls on the foreign shores, you'll have to report to me
When you come marchin' home

Don't hold anyone on your knee, you better be true to me
You better be true to me, you better be true to me
Don't hold anyone on your knee, you're gettin' the third degree
When you come marchin' home

You're on your own where there is no phone and I can't keep tab on you
Be fair to me, I'll guarantee this is one thing that I'll do
I won't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but you
Till you come marchin' home

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
I know the apple tree is reserved for you and me
And I'll be true till you come marchin' home 

La Ballade Des Baladins
Composer(s): Claude Lemesle - Gilbert Bécaud - Louis Amade - Maurice Vidalin
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Les baladins qui serpentent les routes
Viennent de loin parmi les cbamps de blé
Les bonnes gens regardent et les écoutent
Et les étoiles leur parlent de danser
Les vieux châteaux dressés du fond du Moyen Age
Semblent guider leurs pas légers comme un matin
Et parmi les donjons perchés dans les nuages
Des princesses leur font des signes avec les mains
Mais les gars de vingt ans qui ressemblent à des dieux
Insouciants et joyeux parmi leurs rondes folles
Passent sous les donjons sans dire une parole
Ils ne regardent pas les bras tendus vers eux

Danse donc, joli baladin
C'est la ballade, c'est la ballade
Danse donc, joli baladin
C'est la ballade d'Arlequin

Les baladins qui serpentent les routes
Qui sont-ils donc dans leur costume d'or?
Des vagabonds ou des dieux en déroute?
Ils n'ont que des chansons pour seul trésor
Quand ils n'auront plus soif, ayant bu à la brume
Ils danseront pieds nus sur des fils argentés
Que cinq mille araignées tisseront sous la lune
D'une branche de houx jusqu'aux sapins gelés
Ils sont accompagnés dans la ronde divine
Par les enfants des rois aux longs cheveux bouclés
C'est un cortège bleu de mille mandolines
Où flottent un peu partout des voiles de mariée

Danse donc, joli baladin
C'est la ballade, c'est la ballade
Danse donc, joli baladin
C'est la ballade de l'Arlequin

C'est ainsi que l'on vit le plus grand mariage
De la fille du vent avec un arlequin
Mais tout cela n'était qu'un fragile mirage
Et je reste tout seul avec mes lendemains

Ohé les baladins
Vous partez?...
Emmenez-moi

Don't Shed A Tear
Composer(s): Rob Friedman - Eddie Schwartz
Performer(s): Paul Carrack; Lisa Donahey



Cab fare to nowhere is what you are
A white line to an exit sign is what you are
Oh, but I saw in you, now I see through
Don`t shed a tear for me
My life won`t end without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you
A locked door on a candy store is what you are
A slim chance in tight pants is what you are
All that I loved you for, I want it more
Don`t shed a tear for me
My life won`t end without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you
You ain`t giving what I`m not taking
I`m not missing what we ain`t making
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don`t shed a tear for me
My life won`t end without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you
Don`t shed a tear for me
My life won`t end without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you
Don`t, don`t shed no tears
I don`t need, I don`t need, I don`t need
A thing... I don`t need no more crocodile tears
So strong I am now, I`ll be alright...
I`m a pawn for you girl, there won`t be a game...
Ah ha ha... ah ha ha... I feel it baby...
I don`t need any crocodile tears...
Long as the night, baby...
You've got to have a limelight
I won`t shed a tear darlin`
I won`t shed a tear baby, I won`t shed a tear...
Don`t cry for me, don`t cry for me
Don`t cry for me, girl...

La Ballade De Johnny Jane
Composer(s): Jean-Pierre Sabard - Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Hey Johnny Jane
Te souviens-tu du film de Gainsbourg Je t'aime
Je t'aime moi non plus un joli thème
Hey Johnny Jane
Toi qui traînes tes baskets et tes yeux candides
Dans les no man's land et les lieux sordides
Hey Johnny Jane
Les décharges publiques sont des atlantides
Que survolent les mouches cantharides
Hey Johnny Jane
Tous les camions à benne
Viennent y déverser bien des peines infanticides

Hey Johnny Jane
Tu balades tes cheveux courts ton teint livide
À la recherche de ton amour suicide
Hey Johnny Jane
Du souvenir veux-tu trancher la carotide
À coups de pieds dans les conserves vides
Oh Johnny Jane
Le beau camion à benne
Te transportera de bonheur en bonheur sous les cieux limpides

Hey Johnny Jane
Ne fais pas l'enfant ne sois pas si stupide
Regarde les choses en face sois lucide
Hey Johnny Jane
Efface tout ça, recommence, liquide
De ta mémoire ces brefs instants torrides
Hey Johnny Jane
Un autre camion à benne
Viendra te prendre pour t'emmener vers d'autres Florides

Hey Johnny Jane
Toi qui traînes tes baskets et tes yeux candides
Dans les no man's land et les lieux sordides
Hey Johnny Jane
Écrase d'un poing rageur ton oeil humide
Le temps ronge l'amour comme l'acide

Don't She Good Look
Composer(s): Joey Spampinato
First release by: NRBQ - 1979



I know she looks good when her hips start to shake
you know you're alright babe there ain't no mistake
don't she look fine when she gives you the sign
for you to come on over and have yourself a good time

Well she knows what's on your mind
there ain't no use in lyin'
what you want is natural love
I can't blame you for tryin'

Well you know you can't dance when it gets close to three
bet you wanna take her home, have yourself a party
well she can tempt you with a smile that'll drive you wild
you know she's all grown up, this ain't no young child

Well she knows what's on your mind
there ain't no use in lyin'
what you want is natural love
I can't blame you for tryin'

Well she knows what's on your mind
there ain't no use in lyin'
what you want is natural love
I can't blame you for tryin'

When she's standing in line you can spot her everytime, that's for sure
and ain't it mighty fine when she says she's all mine, not yours 

La Ballade De Johnny

Voici Johnny Hallyday

Oh oui ma vie c'est la musique

Et pour écouter la musique
C'est Continental Edison

Don't She Look Good
Composer(s): Jerry Chestnut
Performer(s): Bill Anderson; Eddy Arnold; Ernest Tubb



She was on her way out of your life
When I found her not knowing which way to turn
She's forgotten the feeling of two arms around her 
But it didn't take her long to learn
You had new worlds to conquer so you didn't
Want her or anything cramping your style
But don't she look great in the new dress I bought her
And don't she look good when she smiles
Did you really think you were so all important
She couldn't get by on her own
Did you really think losing you would destroy her 
And that's why she kept hanging on
She stuck to her promise and talked to her 
Conscious she did all she could for a while
Then picked up the pieces and she started livin'
Now don't she look good when she smiles

Don't she look good in the new dress I bought her
And the new way that she wears her hair
She's in a new world and she's not the same girl
She knows now that somebody cares
You can't believe that the same girl you let go 
Could change so in this little while
But don't she look great in the new dress I bought her
And don't she look good when she smiles
Now don't she look great in the new dress I bought her
And don't she look good when she smiles 

La Ballade De Davy Crockett
((English Version: The Ballad of Davy Crockett (by Bill Hayes))
Composer(s): George Bruns - Tom Blackburn - Francis Blanche
Performer(s): Annie Cordy



Y avait un homme qui s'appelait Davy
Il était né dans le Tennessee
Si courageux que quand il était p'tit
Il tua un ours du premier coup d'fusil

Davy, Davy Crockett, l'homme qui n'a jamais peur

À quatorze ans il s'était perdu
Dans un désert vaste et inconnu
Pendant dix jours il marcha vers le Sud
Sans rien manger qu'un petit peu d'herbe crue

Davy, Davy Crockett, l'homme qui n'a jamais faim

Pendant la guerre contre les indiens
Il combattit tout seul contre vingt
Ayant une flèche plantée dans une main
Il l'arracha avec son autre main

Davy, Davy Crockett, l'homme qui n'a jamais mal

Dans la forêt au cœur de l'hiver
Quand il chassait les loups et les cerfs
Le torse nu et les bras découverts
Il s'en allait riant des courants d'air

Davy, Davy Crockett, l'homme qui n'a jamais froid

Quand les Peaux-Rouges demandèrent la paix
Davy serra la main qu'ils tendaient
Avec les chefs il fuma le calumet
Mais sans rien boire, pas même un verre de lait

Davy, Davy Crockett, l'homme qui n'a jamais soif

On l'présenta pour les élections
Et ses discours remuaient l'opinion
Il était là dans toutes les réunions
La tête froide malgré son émotion

Davy, Davy Crockett, l'homme qui n'a jamais chaud

C'était un homme qui s'appelait Davy
Tout le monde ici se souvient de lui
Face au danger, à la peur, à la nuit
Face au devoir, à la mort, à la vie

Davy, Davy Crockett, l'homme qui n'a jamais fui

Don't Say You Don't Remember
Composer(s): Estelle Levitt - Helen Miller
Performer(s): Beverly Bremers



We wrote on the corner of the table
"This is the only one that will last
For you, for me, for always
Forever was meant for us", but for us it went by too fast

Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living
(How can I go on living)
With myself?

When we meet you always call me "baby"
How could it be that you forgot my name?
Before you go, be honest
I belonged to you and believed that you felt the same

Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living
(How can I go on living)
With myself?

People never stay the same forever
Somebody always loves a little more
Tonight I need to love you
Together we'll find a way to make tomorrow worth living for

Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living
(How can I go on living)
With myself? 

The Ballad Of Davy Crockett
((French Version: La Ballade De Davy Crockett (by Annie Cordy))
Composer(s): George Bruns - Tom Blackburn
Performer(s): Bill Hayes
and multiple other artists



Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree
Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

In eighteen thirteen the Creeks uprose
Addin' redskin arrows to the country's woes
Now, Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows
So he shoulders his rifle an' off he goes
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!

Off through the woods he's a marchin' along
Makin' up yarns an' a singin' a song
Itchin' fer fightin' an' rightin' a wrong
He's ringy as a b'ar an' twice as strong
Davy, Davy Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer!

Andy Jackson is our Gen'ral's name
His reg'lar soldiers we'll put to shame
Them redskin varmints us Volunteers'll tame
'Cause we got the guns with the sure-fire aim
Davy, Davy Crockett, the champion of us all!

Headed back to war from the ol' home place
But Red Stick was leadin' a merry chase
Fightin' an' burnin' at a devil's pace
South to the swamps on the Florida Trace
Davy, Davy Crockett, trackin' the redskins down!

Fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store
An' while he was handlin' this risky chore
Made hisself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

He give his word an' he give his hand
That his Injun friends could keep their land
An' the rest of his life he took the stand
That justice was due every redskin band
Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his promise dear!

Home fer the winter with his family
Happy as squirrels in the ol' gum tree
Bein' the father he wanted to be
Close to his boys as the pod an' the pea
Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his young'uns dear!

But the ice went out an' the warm winds came
An' the meltin' snow showed tracks of game
An' the flowers of Spring filled the woods with flame
An' all of a sudden life got too tame
Davy, Davy Crockett, headin' on West again!

Off through the woods we're ridin' along
Makin' up yarns an' singin' a song
He's ringy as a b'ar an' twice as strong
An' knows he's right 'cause he ain' often wrong
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!

Lookin' fer a place where the air smells clean
Where the trees is tall an' the grass is green
Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream
An' the teemin' woods is a hunter's dream
Davy, Davy Crockett, lookin' fer Paradise!

Now he's lost his love an' his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
An' lose himself in the forests tall
But he answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crockett, beginnin' his campaign!

Needin' his help they didn't vote blind
They put in Davy 'cause he was their kind
Sent up to Nashville the best they could find
A fightin' spirit an' a thinkin' mind
Davy, Davy Crockett, choice of the whole frontier!

The votes were counted an' he won hands down
So they sent him off to Washin'ton town
With his best dress suit still his buckskins brown
A livin' legend of growin' renown
Davy, Davy Crockett, the Canebrake Congressman!

He went off to Congress an' served a spell
Fixin' up the Governments an' laws as well
Took over Washin'ton so we heered tell
An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!

Him an' his jokes travelled all through the land
An' his speeches made him friends to beat the band
His politickin' was their favorite brand
An' everyone wanted to shake his hand
Davy, Davy Crockett, helpin' his legend grow!

He knew when he spoke he sounded the knell
Of his hopes for White House an' fame as well
But he spoke out strong so hist'ry books tell
An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!

When he come home his politickin' done
The western march had just begun
So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun
An' lit out grinnin' to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneers!

He heard of Houston an' Austin so
To the Texas plains he jest had to go
Where freedom was fightin' another foe
An' they needed him at the Alamo
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!

His land is biggest an' his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He's ahead of us all meetin' the test
Followin' his legend into the West
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

La Ballade De Bill Brillantine
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Il marchait comme un chat égaré
Nerfs tendus toutes griffes rentrées
Son regard me donnait froid dans le dos
Il semblait guetter
Les gens du quartier
Cherchant la violence
À travers un mot

Il portait des blue-jeans délavés
Il rôdait aux sorties des cinés
Il faisait un très grand numéro
Adossé au mur
Il jouait les durs
Et son cinéma
Ne sonnait pas faux

Bill Brillantine
Je n'ai pas oublié
Bill Brillantine
Et ses cheveux lustrés
Toujours huilés
Bill Brillantine
Où es-tu donc passé
Mais que t'est-il arrivé?

Bill Brillantine
Bill Brillantine

Maintenant tes cheveux sont tombés
Ton blouson est rangé au grenier
Du passé il reste quelques photos
Fini l'aventure
Le gang des voitures
Avec ton mariage
Est tombé à l'eau

Bill Brillantine
Je n'ai pas oublié
Bill Brillantine
Et tes cheveux lustrés
Toujours huilés
Bill Brillantine
Où es-tu donc passé
Mais que t'est-il arrivé?

Bill Brillantine

Eh! Tu m'prêtes ta Vespa?
Non, j'peux pas
J'vais à une suprise-partie ce soir
Oh tu m'emmènes?
Non, non, non, non, non, non, Bill, non
Tu n'fais pas partie de la bande, Bill
Non, non, tu n'fais pas partie de la bande, Bill
Non Bill, au revoir Bill, au revoir Bill...
Tu n'fais pas partie de la bande, Bill...

Don't Say No
Composer(s): Billy Squier
Performer(s): Billy Squier



We live in confusion times --- my world is a vice
Nobody gets out alive... but you can break through the ice
Don't say no
My wounds are the open kind --- I bleed every day
I pray for a change of mind... you could take me away
Don't say no
Take on the system, playin' on the wrong side
Spend all my money tryin' to have a good time
Come 'round to see you from time to time
Week in the knees and I'm busted
Some people they treat me kind... some drive me away
Some people they blow your mind... it's not easy today
Don't say no
I live on the borderline... you come from the void
I beg you to cross the line... you take good care of your boy
Don't say no
Got me a ticket sittin' on a gold mine
Send me the int'rest, take me where the sun shines
Come 'round to see me from time to time
Bring it to me when I'm busted
One minute I'm outa time... I don't fit in your game
You kill me in overtime... I don't remember my name
One minute you're on my mind... next minute you're gone
You tell me to read the signs... they tell me we're on
Don't say no...
