    Laugh At Me
    Composer(s): Sonny Bono
    First release by: Sonny Bono - 1965
    Covered by multiple other artists

    Versions In Other Languages:
    1965 - À La Même Heure (by Sheila)
    1966 - Non Ridere Di Me (by I Ragazzi Del Sole)



    Why can't I, be like any guy?
    Why do they try to make me run?
    Son of a gun, now

    What do they care, about the clothes I wear?
    Why get their kicks from making fun, yeah

    This world's got a lot of space
    and if they don't like my face
    It ain't me that's going anywhere, no

    so I don't care
    Let 'em laugh at me
    If that's the fare
    I have to pay to be free
    then baby
    Laugh at me, and I'll cry for you
    and I'll pray for you
    and I'll do all the things that the man upstairs says to do
    I'll do 'em for you
    I'll do 'em
    I'll do 'em all for you

    It's gotta stop someplace
    It's gotta stop sometime

    I'll make sure that she's mine
    And maybe the next guy
    that don't wear a silk tie
    he can walk by and say "Hi"
    say, "Hi"
    instead of why
    instead of why
    instead of why babe
    instead of why
    what did I do to you
    I don't know what to do

    Behind Those Swinging Doors
    Composer(s): Fleming Allan)
    Performer(s): Spike Jones



    T'was Saturday night in an old mining town
    Jake's bar room was merry and gay
    While far from the laughter a mother did wait
    For Pop to come home with his pay
    "What's keeping dear Father, why doesn't he come?"
    The daughter exclaimed through her tears
    The Mother replied, "I'm sadly afraid
    Your Father has stopped for some beers"

    Oh….Oh!
    The doors swing in, the doors swing out
    Where some pass in, and others pass out
    Your Father, I fear, has his nose in the beer
    Behind those swinging door-or-ors
    (Hic)
    Behind those swinging doors

    "Oh I shall go fetch him" the daughter declared
    "He shan't bring disgrace to our name"
    Then straight-way she ran to the corner saloon
    To save her poor Father from shame
    "Dear Father, Dear Father come home with me now
    The clock in the steeple strikes two" (Ding, Ding, Ding)
    "Dear Mother is waiting, the rent must be paid
    Don't spend all your money for brew"

    Oh….Oh!
    The doors swing in, the doors swing out
    Where some pass in, and others pass out
    Through the smoke and the haze
    There stood Pop in a daze
    Behind those swinging door-or-ors
    (Hic)
    Behind those swinging doors

    Each Saturday night at the corner saloon
    The miners come in with their gold
    And Father blows in all his wages for gin
    And Nellie blows home in the cold
    "Dear Mother", she wailed, "My mission I've failed
    My Father will ne'er mend his ways"
    The Mother explained "We'll suffer the shame
    It's always the woman who pays"

    Oh….Oh!
    The doors swing in, the doors swing out
    Where some pass in, and others pass out
    This story is told of a fool and his gold
    Behind those swinging door-or-ors
    (Hic – Burp)
    Behind those swinging doors

    À La Même Heure
    ((Adapted from: Laugh At Me (by Sonny Bono) - 1965))
    ((Italian Version: Non Ridere Di Me (by I Ragazzi Del Sole) - 1966))
    Composer(s): Sonny Bono - Jacques Plante - Claude Carrère
    Performer(s): Sheila - 1965



    Quand tu es parti
    Tous deux, on s'est promis
    De penser l'un à l'autre
    À la même heure

    Et comme tous les soirs
    Ensemble, on va pouvoir
    Enfin, s'aimer de loin
    À la même heure

    Oui! Je pense à toi
    Ne te tourmente pas
    Puisque tu resteras seul
    Dans mon coeur

    Je te dis mes peines
    Je te dis mes joies
    Tu sais que je t'aime
    Qu'il n'y a que toi
    Oui, rien que toi!

    Avant de m'endormir
    Le soir, je prie pour toi
    Et si je le fais
    C'est que je sais
    Qu'il est écrit
    Que ma vie doit se faire avec toi
    Et tu peux être sûr
    Que jamais, jamais, je ne l'oublierai!

    Et nous nous marierons
    Nous aurons des enfants
    Il n'y a pas de raison
    Qu'il en soit autrement
    Puisque nous nous aimons
    Et que c'est pour la vie
    Mais oui! Oui, je pense à toi!
    Je pense à toi!
    Je pense à toi!
    Je pense à toi!
    Je pense à toi mon amour! ...

    Behind The Lines
    Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Mike Rutherford
    Performer(s): Phil Collins



    I held the book so tightly in my hands
    I saw your picture, heard you call my name
    It was strange I could not look away
    I had to be there, I wanted to go

    You gave me no reason
    you gave me no warning
    But I was with you,
    by your side
    Give me the strength, so I can help you
    And I can be strong now, they don't frighten me

    It's written in the book

    The sun is hotter than before
    But inside it's cold, I wonder why
    But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
    Well I believe we can make it right

    It's time now
    to show our feelings
    Looking through you
    your heart's empty
    Whatever happened to you, you can't change it
    Nowhere to run to, please, oh please don't let me down

    But wait a minute I don't understand
    it's getting stronger, hold my hand
    Don't want to leave you I don't want to go
    But I'm a' losing all control
    Can't you see me I'm slipping away
    I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here
    Oh Lord

    It's written in the book

    I held the book so tightly in my hands
    Saw your picture, heard you call my name
    Oh, and even though we never, never touched
    I keep waiting for you just the same

    La la la la la la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la la la..

    Laugh And Walk Away
    Composer(s): Art LaMonica - Robert Racioppo
    Performer(s): Shirts



    I haven't found the formula to measure my distress
    The tick-tock of my heart-clock tells my mind I'm so depressed
    I searched behind the mirrors and I broke down all the walls
    Is it something rare or new or is it something old?
    Is it something old?
    My job it takes me everywhere but I ain't seen a thing
    At eighty miles an hour rolling hills all seem the same
    I've searched the mountains and the streams but I can't find a clue
    Is it something old or worn or is it something new?
    I go where I go (I go where I go)
    I go where I go, I don't know
    Such a silent world and an empty road
    Behind that world is a pot of gold...
    I woke up from a deep deep sleep and out the door I went
    I didn't bother to turn back, my feet were sore and red
    I searched behind the mirrors and I broke down all the walls
    Is it something revenue or is it something new?
    I go where I go (I go where I go)
    I go where I go, I don't know
    Such a silent world and an empty road
    I go where I go (I go where I go)
    I go where I go, I don't know
    Such a silent world and an empty road
    Behind that world is a pot of gold...
    I'm sick of greedy people who just want a piece of me
    They're all so clever and so bright and modern to the T
    You smell them from a mile away but I don't really care
    When it comes down to the facts I laugh and walk away (laugh and walk away)

    Behind Closed Doors
    Danish Title: Bag En Lukket Dør
    Composer(s): Kenny O'Dell
    Originally performed by: Charlie Rich
    Covered by various other artists



    My baby makes me proud, Lord don't she make me proud
    She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd
    'Cause people like to talk, Lord, how they love to talk
    But when they turn out the lights, I know she'll be leaving with me

    And when we get behind closed doors
    Then she lets her hair hang down
    And she makes me glad I'm a man
    Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
    My, behind closed doors

    My baby makes me smile, Lord don't she make me smile
    She's never too far away or too tired to say "I want you"
    She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
    But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me

    And when we get behind closed doors
    Then she lets her hair hang down
    And she makes me glad I'm a man
    Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
    My, behind closed doors

    Come on now
    Laugh and be happy and the world will laugh with you
    When people see you smiling they can't help smiling too
    When you look out the window to a dark and gloomy day
    Break out a smile and in a while the gloom will go away
    So laugh and be happy with a merry melody
    A song will make a hat rack look like a Christmas tree
    Get rid of worry in a hurry, chase the blues away
    Just laugh and be happy all the live.... long..... day..

    Behind Blue Eyes
    Composer(s): Pete Townshend
    Originally performed by: The Who
    Covered by various other artists



    No one knows what it's like
    To be the bad man
    To be the sad man
    Behind blue eyes

    No one knows what it's like
    To be hated
    To be fated
    To telling only lies

    But my dreams
    They aren't as empty
    As my conscience seems to be

    I have hours, only lonely
    My love is vengeance
    That's never free

    No one knows what it's like
    To feel these feelings
    Like I do
    And I blame you

    No one bites back as hard
    On their anger
    None of my pain and woe
    Can show through

    But my dreams
    They aren't as empty
    As my conscience seems to be

    I have hours, only lonely
    My love is vengeance
    That's never free

    When my fist clenches, crack it open
    Before I use it and lose my cool
    When I smile, tell me some bad news
    Before I laugh and act like a fool

    And if I swallow anything evil
    Put your finger down my throat
    And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
    Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

    No one knows what it's like
    To be the bad man
    To be the sad man
    Behind blue eyes

    L'attente
    Composer(s): Françoise Hardy - G. Kawcsyski
    Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



    Lui, il voudrait croire qu'il est libre
    il ferme la porte et s'en va
    sans me dire s'il reviendra
    et voilà
    moi, je vais faire un tour en ville
    je rentre dans un cinéma
    et après je ne sais pas
    ça dépend des fois
    quelquefois
    je me promène
    j'attends, je traîne
    ou je retourne chez moi
    lui, il croit qu'aimer une fille
    c'est parfois comme être en prison
    et pour mieux voir l'horizon
    il s'en va
    moi, je n'me sens pas très utile
    en face de la télévision
    toute seule à la maison
    je ne tourne pas rond
    quelquefois
    je change les draps
    j'appelle
    untel
    et lui dis viens chez moi

    Beguine Without A Name
    Performer(s): Edmondo Ros



    This is a song without a verse and just to make matters worse

    After I composed this melody, not a single rhyme would come to me
    That is why I have to call it
    The Beguine Without A Name
    I wrote Senorita, you’re divine
    Beautiful woo cha cha, please be mine
    But I couldn’t find another line
    For the beguine without a name

    Then I wrote about a honeymoon
    Even thought of spoon and croon and June
    Had so many ifs and ands and buts
    I got up and yelled “I’m going nuts!”
    There is just another line or two
    And beguine without a name is through
    All you have to sing is toodle-oo
    And end it ‘I love you’

    Once I said that gay fiesta time
    And Brazilian moonlight is sublime
    But I couldn’t find another line
    For the beguine without a name
    Then I thought fiesta in Brazil
    Sounded good with palm trees on a hill
    But I had another line to fill
    For the beguine without a name

    So it makes no difference how you speak
    English, French, Brazilian, Dutch or Greek
    All you have to sing is toodle-oo
    And end it ‘I love you’

    This was a song without a verse but now we’ve made the matter worse

    Le Cadavre Exquis
    Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
    Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



    Si l'on jouait au jeu du cadavre exquis
    Histoire d'nous passer un peu notre ennui
    Tu écris un mot n'importe quoi
    Et moi j'en inscris un autre après toi
    La petite mouche à merde
    A mis des bouchées doubles
    Y a des coups d'pied qui s'perdent
    Dans les roubles
    Oui c'est ça le jeu du cadavre exquis
    Nous allons y jouer toute la nuit
    Emmanuelle aime les caresses
    Buccales et manuelles
    Remue un peu tes fesses
    Me dit-elle
    Moi j'préfère jouer au jeu du cadavre exquis
    Que de l'enfiler toute la nuit
    L'humour noir vient d'Afrique
    Exemple Amin DiDi
    Je bande magnétique
    Pour lui
    Si l'on jouait au jeu du cadavre exquis
    Histoire d'nous passer un peu notre ennui

    Composer(s): Michel Sardou - Pierre Delanoë - Jacques Revaux - Roger Loubet
    Performer(s): Michel Sardou



    Il est midi à Paris et toi tu dors encore
    À Cold Canyon Water L.A.
    Il est midi à L.A. et toi tu entres en scène
    Sur les bords de la Seine Paris

    Nous vivons des deux côtés d'un monde
    À dix heures d'écart entre hier et demain
    2 degrés 20 minutes et 14 secondes
    C'est l'histoire du premier méridien

    Il est midi à Paris et pour toi c'est l'aurore
    Là-haut à Berverly L.A.
    Je t'imagine endormi et si tu l'aimes encore
    Est-ce que tu m'aimes un peu aussi

    Il fait noir boul'vard du crépuscule
    Il y a des orages même au paradis
    Mais si l'on décidait d'accorder nos pendules
    D'aller du zéro à l'infini

    L'Atlantique au milieu
    Et chacun sur sa rive
    L'Atlantique au milieu
    Un coup d'aile et j'arrive

    Les oiseaux de l'Occident
    Nous verrons passer au jour levant
    Dans une machine
    Qui court plus vite que le vent
    Attends avant de te réveiller attends
    Que je t'embrasse
    Que je te dise bonjour
    Avant de faire la traversée
    Juste pour passer
    Par dessus le temps
    Et pour effacer les océans

    L'Atlantique au milieu
    De nos lointains rivages
    L'Atlantique au milieu
    De nous deux c'est dommage

    Il est midi à Paris et mon avion taxi
    Vient juste de quitter le sol
    Il fait soleil à L.A. prends pas ton parapluie
    Je t'attends sous mon parasol
    Il est midi à Paris et nous on dort encore
    À Cold Canyon Water L.A.
    Autour de nous c'est la nuit mais si tu m'aimes aussi
    Je me fous bien de l'heure qu'il est
    Il est midi à Paris et nous on dort encore
    À Cold Canyon Water L.A.
    Autour de nous c'est la nuit mais si tu m'aimes aussi
    Je me fous bien de l'heure qu'il est ...

    Beginnings
    Composer(s): Robert Lamm
    Originally performed by: Chicago



    When I'm with you it doesn't matter where we are, or what we're doing
    I'm with you, that's all that matters
    Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing
    I wish I could sing it to you, oh no, I wish I could sing it to you
    Mostly I'm silent
    Never think of the right words to say

    When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings
    The color of chills all over my body
    And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one
    I should try to put into words, oh no, try to put into words
    Mostly I'm silent
    Silent

    Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever
    Only the beginning, only just the start
    I've got to get you into my life mama, got to get you next to me
    Only the beginning, only just the start
    Only the beginning, only the beginning, only the beginning, only the beginning

    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Some people work very hard
    But still they never get it right
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Now I’m beginning to see the light

    Wine in the morning
    And some breakfast at night
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Here we go again
    Playing the fool again
    Here we go again
    Acting hard again
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Now I’m beginning to see the light

    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    I’m beginning to see the light
    I wore my teeth in my hands
    So I could mess the hair of the night
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Hey I’m beginning to see the light
    I met myself in a dream
    And I just wanna tell you - everything was alright
    I’m beginning to see the light
    Here comes two of you
    Which one will you chose?
    One is black, one is blue
    Don’t look just what to do
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Now I’m beginning to see the light

    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    Some people work very hard
    But still they never get it right
    Well I’m beginning to see the light
    There are problems in these times
    But none of them are mine
    Baby, I’m beginning to see the light
    Here we go again
    I thought that you were my friend
    Here we go again
    I thought that you were my friend
    How does it feel to be loved?
    How does it feel to be loved?

    Klik op de afbeelding om de link te volgen

    Lather
    Composer(s): Grace Slick
    Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
    and multiple other artists



    Lather was thirty years old today
    They took away all of his toys
    His mother sent newspaper clippings to him
    About his old friends who'd stopped being boys
    There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty-three
    His leather chair waits at the bank
    And Seargent Dow Jones, twenty-seven years old
    Commanding his very own tank
    But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do
    To lie about nude in the sand
    Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps
    And thrashing the air with his hands

    But wait, oh Lather's productive you know
    He produces the finest of sound
    Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose
    Snorting the best licks in town
    But that's all over...

    Lather was thirty years old today
    And Lather came foam from his tongue
    He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said
    Is it true that I'm no longer young?
    And the children call him famous
    And the old men call him insane
    And sometimes he's so nameless
    That he hardly knows which game to play...
    Which words to say...
    And I should have told him, "No, you're not old"
    And I should have let him go on...smiling...babywide

    Beginner's Luck
    Composer(s): Jim Shaw
    Performer(s): Susan Raye



    It must have been beginner's luck with me

    I found myself a horseshoe
    And I hung it on the door
    I found myself a four leaf clover
    And I looked around for more

    I bought up every lucky charm
    They carried in the store
    I was desperate as a
    Girl in love can be

    When walking on a sidewalk
    I never stepped on cracks
    I avoided every kitty cat
    That looked like it was black

    I collected lucky pennies
    And piled up quite a stack
    And sure enough,
    He fell in love with me

    Beginner's luck, it really had to be
    The first time I fell in love
    And he fell in love with me
    It happens in the story books
    And I've seen it on TV
    But it must have been
    Beginner's luck with me

    I found a turkey wishbone
    And I broke it right in two
    I had a gypsy fortune teller
    Tell me all she knew

    Tossed pennies in a wishing well
    To make my dream come true
    I was desperate as a
    Girl in love can be

    I found myself a rabbit's foot
    And carried it around
    I knocked, and knocked, and knocked
    On every piece of wood I found

    When I saw a ladder
    I was sure to walk around
    And just like that
    He fell in love with me

    Beginner's luck, it really had to be
    The first time I fell in love
    And he fell in love with me
    It happens in the story books
    And I've seen it on TV
    But it must have been
    Beginner's luck with me

    It must have been beginner's luck with me

    Late November
    Composer(s): David Surkamp - Pavlov's Dog - Steve Scorfina
    Performer(s): Pavlov's Dog; Steve Scorfina



    Oh, she wants, she wants it badly
    And I, I can't believe all she said
    Because she's cool, yeah she's cool
    She's just like lightening
    Take her home, keep her warm in late November

    I can't say why she's so strange now
    Why did I always believe all she said
    She's came down, held me close
    Came down from night skies
    Take her home, keep her warm in late November

    She just goes to show you never know
    What's in your heart, what's in your soul
    She just goes to show you never know
    What's in your heart, what's in your soul

    She's home now, but far away she flies
    But she don't know how she came
    Or how she leaves
    'Cause she's cool, yeah she's cool
    She's just like lightening
    Take her home, keep her warm in late November

    She just goes to show you never know
    What's in your heart, what's in your soul
    (Repeat to end)

    Klik op de afbeelding om de link te volgen

    Begin The Beguine
    Composer(s): Cole Porter
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
    and various other artists



    When they begin the beguine
    It brings back the sound of music so tender
    It brings back a night of tropical splendour
    It brings back a memory evergreen

    I’m with you once more under the stars
    And down by the shore an orchestra’s playing
    And even the palms seem to be swaying
    When they begin the beguine

    To live it again is past all endeavour
    Except when that tune clutches my heart
    And there we are, swearing to love forever
    And promising never, never to part

    What moments divine, what rapture serene
    Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
    And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
    I know but too well what they mean

    So don’t let them begin the beguine
    Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
    Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
    When they begin the beguine

    Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
    Till the stars that were there before return above you
    Till you whisper to me once more
    "Darling, I love you!"
    And we suddenly know, what heaven we’re in
    When they begin the beguine

    Late Night Grande Hotel
    Composer(s): Nanci Griffith
    Performer(s): Nanci Griffith; The Kennedys



    I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here
    I'm watching this evening fire burn away my tears
    All my life I've left my troubles by the door
    Leavin' is all I've ever known before

    It's not the way you hold me
    when the sun goes down
    It's not the way you call my name that left me
    stranded on the ground
    It's not the way you say you hear my heart
    when the music ends
    I am just learning how to fly away again

    And maybe you were thinkin'
    that you thought you knew me well
    But, no one ever knows the heart of anyone else
    I feel like Garbo in this late night grande hotel
    Cause living alone is all I've ever done well

    It's not the way you hold me
    when the sun goes down
    It's not the way you call my name that left me
    stranded on the ground
    It's not the way you say you hear my heart
    when the music ends
    I am just learning how to fly away again

    It's not the way you hold me
    when the sun goes down
    It's not the way you call my name that left me
    stranded on the ground
    It's not the way you say you hear my heart
    when the music ends
    I am just learning how to fly away again
