Lucky Me Composer(s): Tony Banks Performer(s): Tony Banks
My name is unimportant And my job you could call mean But I like the work and I do it well That's enough for me I think there was a time when I Could do, and did, much more I have dreams in which I captain the ship And hear the ocean roar I've lived alone for all I can remember That only means some six or seven years I would rather be nobody else I'm happy as I am All I need is in my way And you see no one expects too much from me People cry, but no one asks me to advise them They want to know but they don't ask me how That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know Lucky me My friends think that I should be trying To find out who I was But I feel that road would bring me pain And too much would be lost How I am is how I'm meant to be now Anyhow there's things I see more clearly Than those whose heads are searching in the clouds to make discoveries And maybe fail to see What's on the ground beneath their feet, not hard to find People cry, but no one asks me to advise them They want to know but they don't ask me how That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know Lucky me No one asks me to advise them They want to know but they don't ask me how That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know Lucky me - oh
Monolith Composer(s): Marc Bolan Performer(s): T. Rex
The throne of time Is a kingly thing From whence you know We all do begin And dressed as you are girl In your fashions of fate Baby it's too late
Shallow all the actions Of the children of men Fogged was their vision Since the ages began And lost like a lion In the canyons of smoke Girl it's no joke
Lucky Me Composer(s): George Kerr - Sylvia Robinson Performer(s): The Moments
Lucky me, just lucky me 'Cause I found a girl like you Who brings her love to only me Ooh, lucky me I can see how good your true love can be 'Cause I'm gonna wear my ring Oh, I'll spend my whole life loving you If you want me to 'Cause there's no one in the whole wide world As special, babe, as you
Lucky me, lucky me As can be, of all the fellahs in the world You told me you love only me Ooh, lucky me, lucky me I must say I feel as though there's no one else In the world but you and me Oh, I'll spend my whole life loving you If you want me to 'Cause there's no one in the whole wide world As special, babe, as you
Lucky me, lucky me Lucky me Love me as I'll never be
Lucky me, lucky me Oh, lucky me, lucky me Lucky me, lucky me Oh, lucky me, lucky me
Monnaie Blues Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Je marchais dans une rue louche Elle, elle avait les bras croisés Et puis une si grande bouche Que je me suis laissé tenter Elle m'a montré des tas de choses Qu'on ne montre qu'à ses amis Sa bibliothèque en cuir rose Et la soie de ses draps de lit J'étais tout près de l'épouser Quand elle m'a montré la porte Elle a pris toute ma monnaie Elle a dit "c'est le seul moyen pour que je m'en sorte" Je suis rentré chez moi de rage J'ai allumé la télé Un vieillard encombrait l'image Un vieillard très bien habillé Il prononçait des mots bizarres Des mots que personne connaît J'ai dit c'est pas drôle ton histoire Et il ne s'en sortira jamais La speakerine est venue traduire Avant que j'éteigne mon poste "Il voudrait toute votre monnaie" Il a dit "c'est le seul moyen pour que je m'en sorte" J'ai dit mon vieux c'est pas facile S'ils veulent tous de mon argent Lorsque l'évêque de la ville Entra dans mon appartement Il avait ses habits de messe Par dessus sa tenue de plage Il criait "mes quatre maîtresses Viennent d'être prises en otage Par pitié faites quelque chose Pour pas qu'elles ne reviennent mortes" Il a pris toute ma monnaie Il a dit "c'est le seul moyen pour qu'elles s'en sortent" Je me suis enfui dans un bar J'ai pris mon alcool préféré J'avais pas commencé de boire Quand des docteurs sont entrés Ils criaient "vous avez l'air pâle Et la mort arrive si vite On a prévenu l'hôpital On va vous embarquer de suite" Pas moyen de leur échapper Ils avaient une bonne escorte Ils ont pris toute ma monnaie Ils ont dit "c'est le seul moyen pour qu'on s'en sorte" Lorsque je me suis réveillé J'ai dit pourvu que tout ça s'arrête J'ai mis partout trois tours de clé J'ai fermé les doubles fenêtres J'ai calfeutré mon lavabo J'ai débranché mon téléphone Et j'ai bien tiré les rideaux J'ai dit je veux plus voir personne Et j'ai mis des gardes à chaque mur Des armoires contre les portes Et j'ai brûlé toute ma monnaie Puisque c'était le seul moyen pour que je m'en sorte Et j'ai brûlé toute ma monnaie Puisque c'était le seul moyen pour que je m'en sorte

Le type qui m'loue son studio, ouais, a sonné Je l'ai laissé, ouais, planté sur le palier À travers la porte, j'lui ai demandé ce qu'il voulait Il m'a dit "Ca fait trois mois que j'attends ton loyer"
Moi je veux de la Monnaie, monnaie Monnaie, monnaie Monnaie, monnaie Envoie la monnaie si tu veux qu'on reste amis
J'avais trouvé une paye pour le lendemain J'ai appelé celle qui m'a promis sa main Je l'ai réveillée, ouais, au milieu de la nuit Elle m'a dit "Qu'est-ce que tu veux?" J'ai dit "Bonsoir ma chérie"
Je veux de la Monnaie, monnaie Monnaie, monnaie Monnaie, monnaie Donne la monnaie si tu veux rester ma petite amie
Elle a dit "Qu'est-ce qui te prend? Non mais, t'as disjoncté! C'est terminé, tu dois t'en aller En tout cas, merci pour cette bonne idée Je vais dire à celui qui va te remplacer
Moi j'aime la Monnaie, monnaie Monnaie, monnaie Monnaie, monnaie Donne la monnaie et je serai ta petite amie"
J'ai appris la leçon Maintenant je sais Qu'après la pluie il y a le soleil Quand je croise une fille qui veut m'embarquer Avant de lui dire "Je t'aime", je lui parle d'oseille
Moi je veux de la Monnaie, monnaie Monnaie, monnaie Monnaie, monnaie Donne la monnaie et tu seras ma petite amie

When I was just a little baby I didn't have many toys but my mama used to say son you got more than other boys Now you may not be good looking and you may not be too rich But you'll never ever be alone cause you've got lucky lips
Lucky lips are always kissing lucky lips are never blue Lucky lips will always find a pair of lips so true Don't need a four-leaf clover Rabbit's foot or a good luck charm With lucky lips you'll always have a baby in your arms
I never get heartbroken No, I'll never get the blues and if I play that game of love I know I just can't lose When they spin that wheel of fortune all I do is kiss my chips and I know I'm bound to win, yeah 'cause I've got lucky lips

Ik zag een heel mooi meisje In een leuke discotheek Ik was meteen verloren Toen ik even naar haar keek
En voor ik het besefte Gaf ik haar spontaan En blozend vroeg dat lieve kind Het nog een keer te doen
Rode lippen moet je kussen Want daar zijn ze voor gemaakt Oh, het is zo zalig Als jouw mond de hare raakt
Ik kan het echt niet laten Ja, ik doet het vroeg en laat Want rode lippen kussen is Het mooiste dat bestaat
Nu is dat mooie meisje Al een jaar m'n lieve vrouw En iedere avond vraagt ze mij Hoeveel ik van haar hou
En ook wil zij nog weten Of ik haar steeds kussen zal Dan zeg ik 'wees gerust, m'n schat' Dat doe ik liefst van al
Rode lippen moet je kussen Want daar zijn ze voor gemaakt Oh, het is zo zalig Als jouw mond de hare raakt
Ik kan het echt niet laten Ja, ik doet het vroeg en laat Want rode lippen kussen is Het mooiste dat bestaat
Oh, rode lippen moet je kussen Want daar zijn ze voor gemaakt Oh, het is zo zalig Als jouw mond de hare raakt
Ik kan het echt niet laten Ja, ik doet het vroeg en laat Want rode lippen kussen is Het mooiste dat bestaat

Monkey And The Underdog Composer(s): David Crosby; Craig Doerge Performer(s): David Crosby
Well, I went out for my evenin' stroll All along the boulevard It's familiar turf from the hills to the surf I treat it like my front yard
Well, I right away ran into a girl I know She said "You gotta come with me tonight The word is out that the underdog And the monkey gonna finally fight"
I've been fightin', fightin' Fightin' just to stay alive And I've been fightin', fightin' Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
Well, now I'm not what you'd call a violent man But the news brought a smile to my face 'Cause the underdog is a friend of mine I'd just love to see him put that monkey in his place
You may think I'm crazy The odds are against the dog you understand This monkey is as strong as a gorilla He'd stretch a tire like a rubber band
But I've been fightin', fightin' Fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin', oh, oh, fightin' Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
Now, he's sneaky and he'll smile on Right at you pretend to lick your boots And all the while he'd be thinking How to rip your soul out by the roots
When we got there my old underdog He didn't really look too good, no But his eyes met mine and he said "I'll kick his ass" I knew right then he would
Oh, been fightin', yeah, I've been fightin', yeah Fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin', oh, oh, oh, oh, fightin' Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
Well, now I don't want to bore you With a bunch of dialog It's not how much dog is in the fight It's how much fight is in my dog
And I've been fightin', oh, fightin' Fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin', yeah, fightin' Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
Oh, fightin', oh, fightin', yeah Fightin' just to stay alive Fight ... fightin', fightin' Fightin' to get from four o'clock ... oh, oh ... oh, oh
Fightin', oh, fightin' Fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin', yeah, oh, fightin' Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
Lucky Day Composer(s): Chris Rea Performer(s): Chris Rea
A little bit of daylight Shines on my pillow It comes through my window pane Speak of the morning Hope is eternal Better to look at this way This could be my lucky day
A glass filled with crystals Six million rainbows Gifted to see with childrens eyes Always a small chance Of shooting that rainbow Bless this down with sweet surprise This could be my lucky day
No inhibitions, naive forever Better looking up than looking down Don't try to beat it, twist and defeat it Leave those kind of complications Never to be found This could be my lucky day
