Messieurs Les Jurés Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Billy Joel; Claude Lemesle Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Messieurs les jurés
donnez-moi cinq minutes avant de me condamner Messieurs les jurés vous serez peut-être un jour au banc des accusés Est-ce que j'ai l'air d'un assassin Voyez-vous du sang sur mes mains Est-ce qu'on n'a plus droit d'aimer
Messieurs les jurés, un matin de novembre on est venu me chercher Ma femme depuis deux jours était partie, on l'avait retrouvée Du côté de la ferme aux loups J'ai failli en devenir fou Est-ce qu'on n'a plus droit d'aimer
Messieurs les jurés, croyez-vous qu'une vie, ça s'écrit sur du papier Croyez-vous qu'un avocat qui ne me connaît pas, peut en parler Je n'avais rien, je n'étais rien Pour elle au moins j'étais quelqu'un Est-ce qu'on n'a plus droit d'aimer
Messieurs les jurés, sachez que moi aussi, je suis mort à la ferme aux loups Il peut m'arriver n'importe quoi, si vous saviez comme je m'en fous Quand on n'a plus rien dans la vie Quand on n'a même plus envie On dit salut la compagnie
Messieurs les jurés, buvons à ma santé le verre de condamné Dormez bien en paix, pardonnez-moi encore de vous avoir dérangés Je m'en vais me faire pendre ailleurs Dans un monde même pas meilleur Si l'on n'a plus droit d'aimer

Messed Around Composer(s): Chris Difford; Glenn Tilbrook Performer(s): Squeeze
She wants to give up love for good She kicks the fence and splits the wood She cries her eyes out in the rain She swears aloud and so again She feels messed around She takes her coat off as it pours The passing daytime she ignores Sits with a problem on a bench And with her heel she digs a trench She feels messed around She rips her skirt and tears her dress Climbing over his garden fence Mud on her mourning as tears still fall She's in no mood for his love at all She feels messed around
Her door won't shut, her match won't light The bulb went out, her skirts too tight She feels messed around The words don't match, her heart won't heal The phone won't pip, her fruit won't peel She feels messed around
She left herself open for him all the time But always kept off of his cloud All the king's horses and all the king's men Have come to mess her around
One Way Donkey Ride Composer(s): Sandy Denny Performer(s): Sandy Denny; Mary Black; Vikki Clayton; No Grey Faith
There you may stand in your splendour and jewels Swaying me in both directions One is the right one, the other for fools How do I make my selection? The city lies silent in the warm morning light The sand is as golden as saffron Oasis of love, sweet water of life God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried
Someone is drowning down there in the flood But this river will dry by tomorrow Is it ocean or stream, this love in my blood Bringer of joy or of sorrow? The end of the journey must soon be in sight Birth is the start of the swansong Oasis of love, sweet water of life God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied
No one is given the map to their dreams All we can do is to trace it See where we go to Know where we've been Build up the courage to face it While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light Roaming the land of the ancients Oasis of love, sweet water of life God bless the poor ones whose patience never died
While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight Searching for trees in the forest Oasis of love, sweet water of life God bless the poor ones, so helpless they have cried God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied God bless the poor ones whose patience never died God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride
Tra migliaia di persone sicure per fedeltà dagli occhi come diamanti che strano dovevo cadere con te davvero speravo in qualcosa di meglio
C'è che ho poca fortuna in amore non merito certe avventure da poco da niente da fine stagione
C'è che nella mia vita no non voglio padroni e con te con te voglio farla finita
Domani stasera ti lascio un messaggio domani adesso ti scrivo così Vai via dalla mia vita basta con te voglio farla finita nella mia vita detesto i tuoi giri e i tuoi guai
Oh quante parole sul tema l'infedeltà Ho voglia di andare a dormire da sola sognarmi sdraiata con creme su spiagge infuocate dal sole d'oriente
C'è che nella mia vita no non voglio padroni e con te con te voglio farla finita
Domani stasera ti lascio un messaggio domani adesso ti scrivo così Vai via dalla mia vita basta con te voglio farla finita nella mia vita...

One Tin Soldier Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter Performer(s): Original Caste; and various other artists
Listen children to a story That was written long ago 'Bout a kingdom, on a mountain And the valley folk below On the mountain was a treasure Burried deep beneath a stone And the valley people swore They'd have it for their very own
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end There wont be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day On the bloody morning after who... One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley Sent a message up the hill Asking for the burried treasure Tons of gold for which they'd kill Came an answer from the kingdom With our brothers we will share All the secrets of our mountain N' all the riches burried there
Now the valley cried in anger Mount your horses Draw your sword And they killed the mountain people So they won their just reward Now they stood beside the treasure On the mountain dark and red Turn the stone and which beneath it "Peace on Earth" Was all it said
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end There wont be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day On the bloody morning after who... One tin soldier rides away
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end There wont be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day On the bloody morning after who... One tin soldier rides away
Message Personnel Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Michel Berger Originally performed by: Françoise Hardy Covered by various other artists
Au bout du téléphone, il y a votre voix Et il y a des mots que je ne dirai pas Tous ces mots qui font peur quand ils ne font pas rire Qui sont dans trop de films, de chansons et de livres Je voudrais vous les dire Et je voudrais les vivre Je ne le ferai pas Je veux, je ne peux pas Je suis seule à crever, et je sais où vous êtes J'arrive, attendez-moi, nous allons nous connaître Préparez votre temps, pour vous j'ai tout le mien Je voudrais arriver, je reste, je me déteste Je n'arriverai pas Je veux, je ne peux pas Je devrais vous parler Je devrais arriver Ou je devrais dormir J'ai peur que tu sois sourd J'ai peur que tu sois lâche J'ai peur d'être indiscrète Je ne peux pas vous dire que je t'aime peut-être
Mais si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes Ne crois pas que tes souvenirs me gênent Et cours, cours jusqu'à perdre haleine Viens me retrouver Si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes Et si ce jour-là tu as de la peine A trouver où tous ces chemins te mènent Viens me retrouver Si le dégoût de la vie vient en toi Si la paresse de la vie S'installe en toi Pense à moi Pense à moi
Mais si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes Ne le considère pas comme un problème Et cours, cours jusqu'à perdre haleine Viens me retrouver Si tu crois un jour que tu m'aimes N'attends pas un jour, pas une semaine Car tu ne sais pas où la vie t'emmène Viens me retrouver Si le dégoût de la vie vient en toi Si la paresse de la vie S'installe en toi Pense à moi Pense à moi
One Thing Composer(s): B. Guthro; M. Jones Performer(s): Runrig
Walk out the door, your eyes filled with tears or stay and confront me and face all your fears linger in silence neither distant or near it's not going to change a thing
Lay down beside me and question my face or hold me with all the love we have made share all your secrets or hide them away it's not going to change a thing
Lie here and talk of whatever you want or dare to compare all the things we've made wrong what care the world when we're all dead and gone it's not going to change a thing
The picture is painted, the colours are bold one for each season of life I suppose it no longer matters, the story is told it's not going to change a thing
Message Of Love Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde Originally performed by: Pretenders
Now the reason we're here As man and woman Is to love each other Take care of each other When love walks in the room Everybody stand up Oh it's good, good, good Like Brigitte Bardot
Now look at the people In the streets, in the bars We are all of us in the gutter But some of us are looking at the stars Look round the room Life is unkind We fall but we keep gettin' up Over and over and over and over and over and over
Me and you, every night, every day We'll be together always this way Your eyes are blue like the heavens above Talk to me darlin' with a message of love
Now the reason we're here Every man, every woman Is to help each other Stand by each other When love walks in the room Everybody stand up Oh it's good, good good Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

(Patter): Mail for Missus Jones Missus Jones don't need it Missus Jones is happy all the day Mail for Missus Brown Missus Brown don't read it Opens them and throws them right away Mail man rings, then he sings Got some letters for you Here's what he brings Mail for the baker My dress maker Word from the landlord, too I get letters from ev'rybody Not a single word from you
Here's what to do, even though you never crave me And though you lie, say that you cry, it might save me! You know that I'm praying the night and day through Just hoping I'll get one sweet letter from you
Since you're gone I keep on Feeling just as sorry as can be I just wrote You a note I'd be happy if you'd answer me...

Baby, cant you see were runnin late Cant you see we aint got time to wait Might be that youre scared of me Of something you might feel Hold on to me, baby, hold on tight I can take us through the night all right Maybe I will stay here too Take my chance with you
Shadows disappear at night We both know its a shame if you should lose one Why is it so hard to find Tell me that youre right there too
