Lady Lucille Composer(s): Gildas Arzel Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
J'entends des pas à la porte J'en tends les cris de la foule Les battements de cur emportent Mes forces et mon sang qui s'écoulent
Pourquoi si tôt? Ma voix est partie, j'ai oublié Tous les mots, même le premier Pourtant c'était si long d'attendre J'aurai dû mieux les apprendre
J'ai peut-être encore le temps pour un verre À quoi ça sert, à quoi ça sert
Si trop souvent je t'appelle Si tu te lasses de moi Si parfois je suis infidèle Je n'ai jamais aimé que toi
Est-ce que c'est trop? Est-ce que tu me fuis? Est-ce que tu sais? Tous les jours que je t'ai donné Entre la peur et la scène C'est le moment pour que tu viennes
J'ai peut-être encore le temps pour qu'on s'aime Ah oui! Lucille pour qu'on quitte la terre
Lady Lucille pour aujourd'hui comme hier Lady Lucille je t'adresse la même prière Lady Lucille comme un soldat avant la guerre Lady Lucille fait tomber sur moi la lumière Rock'n'roll
Lady Lucille, tu sais, je compte sur toi Lady Lucille fais qu'ils comptent avec moi

Bamboozled
Composer(s): Fred Ebb - Paul Klein
Performer(s): Dean Martin
(Bam-bamboozled, bam-bamboozled)
Hey, looka here, see me grin ear to ear All aglow, I'm so bamboozled (Bamboozled) Hey, look at me walkin' tall as a tree Since I got a lot bamboozled (Bamboozled) I kept shyin' away, she kept sighin' away Now, suffice it to say That I fought and I fought, but I'm finally caught
I fly like the birds, feel too lovely for words Yesiree, that's me, bamboozled Out of my wits, but the thrill of it fits like a glove (Bamboozled, bamboozled by you) Heaven, open the door, I ain't runnin' no more I got bamboozled But, oh, how I love it in love
(La la la la la la la la la la la bamboozled, bamboozled) (La la la la la la la la la la la bamboozled, bamboozled)
I tried takin' a stand, she kept takin' my hand That felt wonderful grand So I fell like a ton, I'm a son-of-a-gun Will you look at me now, not a crease on my brow When we kiss, I'm this bamboozled Sailin' along, feelin' bright as the song of a dove (Bamboozled, bamboozled by you) She kept playin' it smart, kissed me out of my heart I got bamboozled (Bamboozled, bamboozled) But, oh, how I love it in love

Lady love, your love is peaceful Like the summer's breeze My lady love, with love that's tender As a baby's touch You give me all of the things That I need so much You're my world, lady love
Lady love, your love is cooling Like the winter snow My lady love, with love that's cozy As a fire's glow And I keep on needing you, girl A little more and more And I thank you, my lady love
You know, it's not easy to keep love flowing smooth People are people and they all have their moods But it's so nice just to have someone like you Who wants a smooth and easy thing And all the good times that it brings
My lady love, you've been with me Through all of my ups and downs My lady love, I once was lost But now with you I'm found You got the love I need And I want to stay around Heaven sent you down, my lady love
Let me tell you that it's not easy to keep love flowing smooth You know, people are people, they all have their moods But it's so nice just to have someone like you Who wants a smooth and easy thing And all the good times and the joy that it brings
My lady love, you've been with me Through all of my ups and downs And my crazy turn-arounds My lady love, you got the love I need So stay around Heaven sent my lady love
Lady love, sweet lady love You are so good to me Lady love, like a warm summer breeze (So glad I found my lady love, lady love) (so glad I found my lady love, lady love)

Bambino, Bambino ne pleure pas, Bambino
Les yeux battus la mine triste et les joues blêmes Tu ne dors plus Tu n'es plus que l'ombre de toi-même Seul dans la rue tu rôdes Comme une âme en peine Et tous les soirs sous sa fenêtre on peut te voir
Je sais bien que tu l'adores Et qu'elle a de jolies yeux Mais tu es trop jeune encore Pour jouer les amoureux Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline mon petit Bambino Ta musique est plus jolie que tout le ciel de l'Italie Et canta, canta de ta voix câline mon petit Bambino Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Avec tes cheveux si blonds Tu as l'air d'un chérubin Va plutôt jouer au ballon Comme font tous les gamins
Tu peux fumer comme un Monsieur des cigarettes Te déhancher sur le trottoir quand tu la guettes Tu peux pencher sur ton oreille, ta casquette Ce n'est pas ça, qui dans son cur, te vieillira L'amour et la jalousie ne sont pas des jeux d'enfant Et tu as toute la vie pour souffrir comme les grands
Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline Mon petit Bambino Ta musique est plus jolie que tout le ciel de l'Italie Et canta, canta de ta voix câline mon petit Bambino Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Si tu as trop de tourments ne les garde pas pour toi Va le dire à ta maman les mamans c'est fait pour ça Et là, blotti dans l'ombre douce de ses bras Pleure un bon coup et ton chagrin s'envolera

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance I have never seen that dress you're wearing Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be But I hardly know this beauty by my side I'll never for get, the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away I have never had such a feeling Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The way you look tonight I never will forget, the way you look tonight The lady in red The lady in red The lady in red My lady in red (I love you)
Lady In Black Composer(s): Ken Hensley First release by: Uriah Heep - 1971
She came to me one morning One lonely Sunday morning Her long hair flowing In the midwinter wind I know not how she found me For in darkness I was walking And destruction lay around me From a fight I could not win Ah ah ah ...
She asked me name my foe then I said the need within some men To fight and kill their brothers Without thought of love or God And I begged her give me horses To trample down my enemies So eager was my passion To devour this waste of life Ah ah ah ...
But she wouldn't think of battle that Reduces men to animals So easy to begin And yet impossible to end For she's the mother of our men Who counselled me so wisely then I feared to walk alone again And asked if she would stay Ah ah ah ...
Oh lady lend your hand outright And let me rest here at your side Have faith and trust In peace she said And filled my heart with life There is no strength in numbers Have no such misconception But when you need me Be assured I won't be far away Ah ah ah ...
Thus having spoke she turned away And though I found no words to say I stood and watched until I saw Her black coat disappear My labour is no easier But now I know I'm not alone I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day And if one day she comes to you Drink deeply from her words so wise Take courage from her As your prize And say hello from me Ah ah ah ...
Baltimore
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant
Performer(s): Sonny James
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore I aint found nothin Im a-looking for And I wanna go back to Baltimore
I miss my dinghy on the Chesapeake shore The shrimp and the shad fish I adore And I wanna go back to Baltimore
Well, I left home about ten months ago Cause I was tired of my status quo
I said Im sick of this dead-haired town Im gonna cut out and have a look around That was my first mistake
For a while I was living real hole in the hog Having more fun than a pedigree dog For long though, my loot ran low And I said, oh well, Ill be a hobo That was my second mistake
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore I aint found nothing Im looking for And I want to go back to Baltimore
Well I starved in Chicago and Kalamazoo Went down to Atlanta an I starved there too I met a lot of girls but you cant make time When youre knockinon a back door And begging for a dime I know I tried it
I looked for my fortune as hard as I could But you cant find a fortune chopping up wood So Ill admit, though Ill lose a lot of face That my own back yard was a heck of a place Baltimore good old Baltimore
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore I aint found nothin Im a-looking for And I wanna go back to Baltimore
I miss my dinghy on the Chesapeake shore The shrimp and the shad fish I adore And I wanna go back to Baltimore
Fetch me a train Flag me down a Simmer Man, I dont care I gotta get back
Lady Godiva's Operation Composer(s): Lou Reed First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1968
Lady Godiva here dressed so demurely Pats the head of another curly hair boy, just another toy Sick with silence she weeps sincerly Saying words that have oh so clearly been said So long ago
Draperies wrapped gently around her shoulder Life has made her that much bolder now That shes found out how
Dressed in silk, latin, lace and envy Pride and joy of the latest funny faire Pretty passing care
Hair today now dipped in the water Making love to every poor daughters son Isnt it fun
Now today propping frace with envy Lady Godiva peers to see if anyones there And hasnt a care
Doctor is coming the nurse thinks sweetly Turning on the machine and neatlypump air The body lies bare Shaed and hairless what onces was screaming Now lies silent and almost sleeping The brain must have gone away
Strapped securely to the white table Ether caused the body to wither and writhe Underneath the wight light
Doctor arrives with knife and baggage Sees the growth as just so much cabbage That now Must be cut away
Now comes the moment of great! great! decision! The doctor is making his first incision! One goes here - one goes there
The ether tubes leaking says someone whos sloppy Patient it seems is not so well sleeping The screams echo up the hall Dont panic someone give him pentathol instantly Doctor removes his blade Cagily so from the brain By m count of ten The head wont move
Lady Godiva Composer(s): Gordon Mills - Mike Leander Performer(s): Peter & Gordon and multiple other artists
Seventeen, a beauty queen She made a ride that caused a scene In the town
Her long blonde hair Hangin' down around her knees All the cats who dig striptease Prayin' for a little breeze Her long blonde hair Falling down across her arms Hiding all the lady's charms Lady Godiva
She found fame and made her name A hollywood director came into town And said to her "How'd you like to be a star?" "You're a girl that could go far" "'specially dressed the way you are" She smiled at him Gave her pretty head a shake That was Lady G's mistake A-hey-hey-hey Lady Godiva
He directs certificate 'X' And people now are craning their necks To see her 'cause she's a star One that everybody knows Finished with the striptease shows Now she can't afford her clothes
Her long blonde hair Lyin' on the barber's floor Doesn't need it long anymore Lady Godiva

Lady Fuchsia Composer(s): John Ford - Richard Hudson Performer(s): The Strawbs
A child denied all love can't weep But bravely bears her life alone So Fuchsia as you try to sleep You dream of friends you've never known
In troubled years when no-one cared You searched for comfort everywhere For heavy burdens never shared Became too much for one to bear
So much to give But those who live Don't know of you Your fantasy Of love to be Cannot come true Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia
Now poised above the castle walls You look your last on lonely skies Night owls pray for you as they call Returning ere the dawn shall rise
Your loveless life Has led you here Not knowing why Your troubled mind's No longer clear To live or die Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia
I remember the day when I was the night And the sun was my eyes in the moon But I changed into day and the night flew away And I sang to my lover the moon I remember the sound when my hair felt the ground And the words that were written on you But you were not there so I slept on the stair And you came in a lemon balloon Who are you? I remember the breeze and the soft creamy cheese That we gave to the dowes on the lawn But the grass was so green that it soaked up the cream And the dowes flew away and were gone But I saw the smiles that were deep in their eyes And saw the joke was on you but I could not laugh I went back to the grass and you came in a rainbow balloon Who are you?
