Téléphonez-Moi ((Spanish Version: Por Teléfono (Dalida)) Composer(s): Orlando - Bernard Estardy Performer(s): Dalida
Vous croyez que le monde entier S'pend à mon téléphone Que je suis toujours invitée Par un Dieu, par un homme Vous avez peur que je vous dise Désolée ma soirée est prise Et vous me dérangez en pleine vocalise
Vous me voyez comme une star Mais je ne suis qu'une femme Vous savez quelquefois la gloire A fait des bleus à mon âme J'ai envie d'écouter d'autres mots Que ceux qu'on écrit dans les journaux Faîtes mon numéro et jetez-vous à l'eau
Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi Je n'attends que ça J'ai besoin d'une voix Téléphonez-moi dans mon agenda J'ai du temps pour moi Téléphonez-moi
Je ne suis pas une panthère rose Qui griffe et puis qui s'en va Je n'vous aimerais pas over-dose Si vous faîtes le premier pas
Vous m'croyez heureuse et tranquille Mais je suis seule sur mon île Sans vous toute ma vie ne tient qu'à un fil
Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi Je n'attends que ça J'ai besoin d'une voix Téléphonez-moi dans mon agenda J'ai du temps pour moi Téléphonez-moi
Un soir de 31 décembre Dans la vallée des poupées Elle était toute seule dans sa chambre Personne ne l'a appelée
C'était la plus belle fille du monde Elle était riche, elle était blonde Pourtant au dernier coup de minuit Adieu la vie
Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi C'est pas des histoires Avant qu'il soit trop tard Téléphonez-moi les pilules d'espoir J'en prends tous les soirs Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi Téléphonez-moi, téléphonez-moi...

I used to fall in love with all those boys who maul the young cuties But now I find Im more inclined to keep my mind on my duties

There was a dame that a football game Made long for the strong undergraddie I never dream of making the team cause my heart belongs to daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy So I simply couldnt be bad Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da So I want to warn you, laddie Though I know youre perfectly swell That my heart belongs to Daddy cause my Daddy, he treats it so well
The Sound Of Silence Composer(s): Paul Simon First release by: Simon and Garfunkel - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Het Geluid Van Stilte (Boudewijn de Groot) 1966 - La Voix Du Silence (Marie Laforêt) 1966 - La Tua Immagine (Mike Liddell & Gli Atomi) 1975 - Il Suono Del Silenzio (Adriano Pappalardo) 1982 - Chanson D'innocence (Gérard Lenorman)
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone Beneath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes where stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People listening without hearing People writing songs that voices never share And no one there Disturbs the sound of silence
Fools, I said, you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, the words Of the prophets are written On the subway walls and tenement halls And whispered in the sound of silence
My Heart Beat Like A Hammer Composer(s): Jeremy Spencer Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
I woke up one morning Waking with the rising sun Woke up one morning Awakin' with the rising sun, ahh Thought about my baby Did I just do what she done
Well, I shoulda loved you more I know I didn't treat her right Oh, yes, I shoulda loved you more I know I didn't treat her right I know that a woman needs Rollin' every day and night Oh, yeah
Well, my heart beat like a hammer My eyes plumb full of tears Yes, my heart beat like a hammer My eyes plumb full of tears She's been gone about an hour But it seems like a thousand years
Don't ever dog your woman You know you're gonna ruin yourself Don't ever dog your woman You know you're gonna ruin yourself Know that a woman she'll Run off with somebody else Oh, yeah
Goodbye To Love Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter Performer(s): The Carpenters; and various other artists
I'll say goodbye to love No one ever cared if I should live or die Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by And all I know of love is how to live without it I just can't seem to find it
So I' ve made my mind up I must live my life alone And thought it's not the easy way I guees I' ve always known I' d say goodbye to love
there are no tomorrows for this heart of mine Surely time will lose these bitter memories And I'll find that there is someone to believe in And to live for Something I could live for
All the years of useless search Have finally reached an end Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend From this day love is forgotten I'll go on as best I can
What lies in the future is a mistery to us all No one can predict the well of fortune as it falls there may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong But for now this is my song
Telephone Man Composer(s): Meri Wilson Performer(s): Meri Wilson
I rented my apartment on a Monday at one Singin' doo-lolly-lolly, shakey-bum, shakey-bum Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two Singin' doo-lolly-lolly, shakey-doo, shakey-doo Wednesday at three I called the phone company Singin' hey baby, put a phone in for me Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door Singin' "Hey baby, I'm your telephone man You just show me where you want it And I'll put it where I can I can put it in the bedroom I can put it in the hall I can put it in the bathroom I can hang it on the wall You can have it with a buzz You can have it with a ring And if you really want it You can have a ding-a-ling Because, hey baby, I'm your telephone man"
Can you believe that... and then he says... "Now when other fellahs call you Tell 'em how it all began" Well... huh-huh...
My heart began a-thumpin' And my mind began to fly And I knew I wasn't dealing With no ordinary guy So while he was a-talkin' I was thinking up my plan Then my fingers did the walkin' On the telephone man Singin' hey-lolly-lolly, hey-lolly-lolly Hey lolly-lolly, get it anyway you can
Right... huh... huh... huh... So...
I got it in the bedroom And I got it in the hall And I got it in the bathroom And he hung it on the wall I got it with a buzz And I got it with a ring And when he told me what my number was I got a ding-a-ling A-singin' hey-lolly-lolly, hey lolly-lolly Hey lolly-lolly, just a-doin' my thing
My Heart And I Composer(s): Richard Tauber; Tyshena Performer(s): Josef Locke and various other artists
We are in love with you, my heart and I And we are always true, my heart and I When you are far away each smile's a tear But it's a lovely day when you are near Maybe that love is blind when passion rules And that my heart and I are just two fools And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye I know we both should die, my heart and I
Once in a lifetime a love dream comes true Just once in a lifetime or never I met my fate on the day I met you The moment you kissed me I knew Strange fascination seems to fill and hold me Fateful temptation such as no one ever told me Everything I would endure for you Come what may, oh, I'll keep smiling through My heart is yours so you just take it It's only asking not to break it
We are in love with you, my heart and I And we are always true, my heart and I When you are far away each smile's a tear But it's a lovely day when you are near Maybe that love is blind when passion rules And that my heart and I are just two fools And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye I know we both should die, my heart and I
Goodbye Sue Composer(s): Jimmy Rule; Lou Ricca; Jules Loman Performer(s): Perry Como; Benny Goodman
They were standing in a crowded station So unaware Of all the people there! I didn't mean to hear their conversation But anyone could tell It was their last farewell!
Good-bye Sue All the best of luck to you! You've been my only gal What's more, my best pal!
Please don't cry Smile until the clouds roll by! Don't kiss me dear, just walk away Or I could never ever say Good-bye, good-bye Sue!
(Good-bye Sue) My little Sue! (All the best of luck to you!) Good luck to you! (You've been my only gal What's more, my best pal! My best pal!)
Please don't cry Smile until the clouds roll by! Don't kiss me dear, just walk away Or I could never ever say Good-bye, good-bye Sue!
Telephone Line Composer(s): Jeff Lynne First release by: Electric Light Orchestra - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
Hello--how are you Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything If you'd pick up that telephone
Hey--how you feelin' Are you still the same Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream I just can't believe They've all faded out of view
I look into the sky And I wonder why
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
O.K. so no--one's answering Well can't you just let it ring a little longer I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night Let it ring for evermore
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains Composer(s): Don Van Vliet Originally performed by: Captain Beefheart
I'll let a train be my feet If it's too far to walk to you If a train don't go there I'll get a jet or a bus Because I'm going to find you You're going to see me shadow soon around you And my head is my only house unless it rains
I walk the meadow plains
Water deserts are my eyes until I find you I won't sleep until I find you I won't eat until I find you My heart won't beat until I wrap my arms around you
My arms are just two things in the way
Until I can wrap them around you You can make my sad song happy Make a bad world good I can feel you out there moving You're mine, I know I'll find you And my head is my only house until I've found you
I hate to have other people hear me sing this song
If this reaches you before I do Follow it to "I love you" That's where I'll find you And my head is my only house until I find you
Telegraph Road Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits
A long time ago came a man on a track walking thirty miles with a sack on his back and he put down his load where he thought it was the best he made a home in the wilderness he built a cabin and a winter store and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore and the other travellers came riding down the track and they never went further and they never went back then came the churches then came the schools then came the lawyers then came the rules then came the trains and the trucks with their loads and the dirty old track was the telegraph road Then came the mines - then came the ore then there was the hard times then there was a war telegraph sang a song about the world outside telegraph road got so deep and so wide like a rolling river... And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze people driving home from the factories there's six lanes of traffic three lanes moving slow... I used to like to go to work but they shut it down I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed we're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed and the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles they can always fly away from this rain and this cold you can hear them singing out their telegraph code all the way down the telegraph road You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights when life was just a bet on a race between the lights you had your hand on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care... but believe in me baby and I'll take you away from out of this darkness and into the day from these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain from the anger that lives on these streets with these names 'cos I've run every red light on memory lane I've seen desperation explode into flames and I don't wanna see it again... From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed all the way down the telegraph road
My Hawaiian Rose Composer(s): Walter Bolian; James G. Henshel
On an island fair where the flowers rare With their fragrance fills the balmy air Where fair maidens are I hear the old guitar Calling me back to this land a far Where the palm trees sway and the lovers gay sing love songs all the while There my heart goes back to a rose I left upon this flowered isle
Where the twilight fades then the soft night shades Make me long for the land of dark eyed maids And there comes to me across the sea Visions that gill me with ecstasy And in restless dreams it always seems I hear this rose implore That I once more come to the shore Where love and song lives ever more
Each gentle breeze brings me memories Of my sweet Hawaiian Rose And each flower fair I find blooming there To me her charms disclose But then I know that I will go At winters close to seek repose In the arms of my Hawaiian Rose
Goodbye So Soon Composer(s): Henry Mancini Performer(s): Vincent Price
Goodbye so soon And isn't this a crime We know by now that time knows how to fly So here's goodbye so soon You'll find your separate way With time so short I'll say so long And go So soon Goodbye
You followed me, I followed you We were like each other's shadows for a while Now as you see, this game is through So although it hurts, I'll try to smile As I say goodbye so soon And isn't this a crime We know by now that time knows how to fly So here's goodbye so soon You'll find your separate way With time so short I'll say so long And go So soon Goodbye
Télégramme Composer(s): Michel Emer Performer(s): Edith Piaf
C'est un télégramme pour Marie Belage Dans la cour, escalier B, cinquième étage Troisième porte à gauche, deux marches à descendre Frapper fort pour qu'elle puisse vous entendre
Le p'tit facteur grimpe quatre à quatre Un vieille demoiselle vient ouvrir D'une voix dure et acariâtre Elle dit "merci" puis se retire Elle ouvre en tremblant la dépêche En général, on n'aime pas ça Elle lit tout haut, la gorge sèche Puis elle relit dix fois tout bas "Serai Orly - huit heures - deux mai - Suis impatient - suis fou de joie - Je vous adore plus que jamais - Amour - baisers - signé - ...François..."
Elle retourne vingt ans en arrière Comme ils s'aimaient, il y a vingt ans Mais ses parents hélas, le refusèrent Il n'avait pas un sou vaillant "Je reviendrai fortune faite" Lui a-t-il dit "Je t'attendrai Je veux aussi que tu promettes Que tu ne m'oublieras jamais" Il est parti - les mois, les années passent Elle est toute seule devant la vie Beauté, fraîcheur, jeunesse... tout s'efface Et plus d'argent, donc plus d'amis...
Les voyageurs arrivant du Mexique Ah le voilà! Comme il est grand! Ses tempes grises lui donnent l'air poétique Il est plus beau qu'il y a vingt ans Elle est toute pâle et ses mains brûlent Comme il bat fort son pauvre cur Il vient vers elle, il la bouscule "J'vous demande pardon!... Dites-moi, porteur! Je cherche une dame élégante et très belle De grands yeux bleus, des cheveux blonds Plutôt petite... Attendez! J'crois que c'est elle... Ah! Non, ce n'est pas elle... J'vous demande pardon!..."
Vous n'auriez pas vu une dame blonde - Elégante - très belle - Vous n'auriez pas vu une dame blonde - Elégante - très belle - Vous n'auriez pas vu...
Goodbye Sadness ((Portuguese Version: Tristeza (Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66))
Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto & Walter Wanderly Trio
La la la-la la
The big sadness the heart feels
Let it leave mine forever
Let my lips sing again
From this day on my days are days of sun and roses
My life's a carnival of song
From this day on my dear the door to sorrow closes
This day when you came along
La la la-la la
The big sadness the heart feels
Let it leave mine forever
Let my lips sing again
From this day on my days are days of sun and roses
My life's a carnival of song
From this day on my dear the door to sorrow closes
This day when you came along
Kashmiri Song Composer(s): Amy Woodforde-Finden Performer(s): Maggie Teyet and multiple other artists
Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar Where are you now, who lies beneath your spell Who do you lead on rapture's roadway far Before you agonise them in farewell Before you agonise them in farewell
Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar Where are you now, where are you now
Pale hands, pink tipped, like Lotus buds that float On those cool waters where we used to dwell I would have rather felt you round my throat Crushing out life, than waving me farewell Crushing out life, than waving me farewell
Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar Where are you now, where are you now
My Handy Man Composer(s): Andy Razaf; Eubie Blake Performer(s): Ethel Waters and various other artists
Whoever said a good man is hard to find Positively, absolutely sure was blind I've found the best man there ever was Here's just some of the things that my man does
Why he shakes my ashes, greases my griddle Chimes my butter and he strokes my fiddle My man is such a handy man (oh yes he is)
He threads my needle, creams my wheat Heats my heater and he chops my meat My man is such a handy man
Now I don't care if you believe it or not He's so good to have around And when my furnace gets too hot He's right there and turns my damper down
Why for everything he's got a scheme You oughta see that new stuff he uses on my machine That man is such a handy man (he's God's gift girls)
Why he flaps my flapjacks, cleans off my table Feeds my horses out in my stable That man is such a handy man, mmm yeah
Sometimes he's up long before the dawn Busy trimmin' the rough edges off my front lawn Yeah that man is such a handy man
Why you know he never has a single word to say No, not while he's working hard And I wished that you could see the way He handles my front yard
Yeah you know my ice don't get a chance to melt away 'Cause he sees that I get that fresh piece every day My man, my man is such a handy man And I ain't kiddin'!
