Tellement Bu, Tellement Fumé
Composer(s): Joe Dassin - Claude Lemesle - Pierre Delanoë
First release by: Joe Dassin - 1979



Je n'me souviens même pas de la couleur de ses yeux
Je crois bien qu'ils était verts, j'parie qu'ils étaient bleus
Je me rappelle seulement que je les aimais
Tellement bu, tellement fumé

Dans ma mémoire brouillard, je ne retrouve plus son prénom
Dans mes idées fumées j'fais à peine son brouillon
Je n'sais plus c'qu'elle disait, sauf que j'y ai cru
Tellement fumé, tellement bu

L'oubli ça tient à quoi?
Des glaçons dans un verre
Un halo de tabac
Dansant dans la lumière
Ca tient à rien du tout, l'oubli
C'est comme la vie

Je revois vaguement un studio mal meublé
Mais qui pourrait me dire la couleur du papier?
Y'avait sûrement un lit, puisqu'on s'est aimé 
Tellement bu, tellement fumé

L'oubli ça tient à qui? 
Une inconnue qui passe
Qui s'égare une nuit
Au fond de mon impasse
L'oubli ça tient à rien du tout
Mais pas à nous

Une fugue en Normandie, pour arroser le beau temps
Un retour à Paris, je n'sais plus trop comment
Sauf la vague impression que c'était foutu
Tellement fumé, tellement bu

Qu'est-ce que je suis con d'avoir déchiré sa photo
J'aimerais bien la revoir, j'ai plus son numéro
De toute façon je n'sais plus téléphoner
Tellement bu, tellement fumé

My Little Town
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel
and various other artists



In my little town
I grew up believ--ing
God keeps His eye on us all
And He used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord I recall
My little town

Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates
Of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging our shirts
In the dirty breeze

And after it rains
There's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagin-ation they lack

Everything's the same
Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying 
Back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying 
Back in my little town

In my little town
I never meant nothin'
I was just my fathers son
Saving my money
Dreaming of glory
Twitching like a finger
On the trigger of a gun

Leaving nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town 
Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town

Got You On My Mind
Composer(s): Howard Biggs; Joe "Cornbread" Thomas
Performer(s): Eric Clapton;
and various other artists



I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go

Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name 
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same

No matter how I try
My heart just don't see why 
I can't forget you 
If ever it should be 
You want to come back to me
You know I'd let you

I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go 

Chorus 

I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go

I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go

Tell Your Story (Sing Your Song)
Composer(s): Chris Farlowe
Performer(s): Atomic Rooster



Tell your story, sing your song
Can't you see I'm flying
Through the mountains, to the sun
Catch the daylight dying
Tell your story, sing your song
Fortune's wheel is turning
Time will pass, and you'll be gone
Teach the life you're learning

Tell your story, sing your song
Catch me quick, I'm leaving
Silver sunflower trapped in space
In the web I'm weaving
Tell your story, sing your song
Breaking through confusion
Cut the knot of lights we've lit
Life is an illusion

Tell your story, sing your song
Can't you see I'm flying
Through the mountains, to the sun
Catch the daylight dying
Tell your story, sing your song
Fortune's wheel is turning
Time will pass, and you'll be gone
Teach the life you're learning

Tell your story, sing your song
Catch me quick, I'm leaving
Silver sunflower trapped in space
In the web I'm weaving
Tell your story, sing your song
Breaking through confusion
Cut the knot of lights we've lit
Life is an illusion...

My Little Red Book
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Originally performed by: Manfred Mann
Covered by various other artists



I just got out my little red book
The minute that you said goodbye
I thumbed right through my little red book
I wasn't gonna sit and cry
And I went from A to Z
I took out every pretty girl in town
They danced with me and as I held them

All I did was talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you... oh, no...

There ain't no girl in my little red book
Who could ever replace your charms
And each girl in my little red book
Knows you're the one I'm thinkin' of
Oh won't you please come back
Without your precious love I can't go on
Where can love be I need you so much

All I did was talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you... oh, no...

Oh won't you please come back
Without your precious love I can't go on
It's haunting me I need you so much

All I did was talk and talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you
All I did was talk and talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you... oh no

Got To Go Back
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison



When I was a young boy
Back in Orangefield
I used to gaze out
My classroom window and dream
And then go home and listen to Ray sing
"I believe to my soul" after school
Oh that love that was within me
You know it carried me through
Well it lifted me up and it filled me
Meditation contemplation too

Chorus:
Oh we've got to go back
Got to go back
Got to go back
Got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming

Well there's people in the street
And the summer's almost here
We've got to go outside in the fresh air
And breathe while it's still clear
Breathe it in all the way down
To your stomach too
And breathe it out with a radiance
into the nightime air

We've got to go back etc. etc...

Got my ticket at the airport
Well I guess I've been marking time
I've been living in another country
That operates along entirely different lines
Keep me away from porter or whiskey
Don't play anything sentimental it'll make me cry
I've got to go back my friend
Is there really any need to ask why

We've got to go back etc. etc...

My Little Persian Rose
Composer(s): Edgar Allan Woolf; Anatol Friedland
Performer(s): Peerless Quartet



I've seen flowers rare growing everywhere 
but I've never seen a rose like you
From your haunt if I could tear you right up on my heart 
I'd wear you and no one could ever share you, I would be so true
But roses are like love and they fade as fast 
with all the storms that blow; love can't ever last
I'll shield you from all harms I'm mad about your charms 
I'll hold you in my arms till all dangers passed

When the fall draws near and the world looks drear 
and the roses start to droop and fade
I will wrap you completely in my loving arms so neatly 
that you'll keep on blooming sweetly 
so don't be afraid when winter comes along with its frost and snows
and an icy blanket then over the world it throws
Little "Bride-Rose" have no fear, for the spring will then be near 
to bring us rosebuds, dear little Persian Rose

My little Persian Rose, nobody knows how I love you
Oh pretty flower, here in your bower, with love I'll shower you every hour
a garden just for two I'm sure will do for me and you, Dearie
I'm wild about you, can't live without you, my little Persian Rose

Got To Give It Up
Composer(s): Marvin Gaye
Performer(s): Marvin Gaye;
and various other artists



I used to go out to parties
And stand around
'Cause I was too nervous
To really get down
And my body yearned to be free
So I got up on the floor and found
Someone to choose me
No more standin' along the side walls
Now I've got myself together, baby
And I'm havin' a ball
Long as you prove it
There's always a chance
Somebody watches
I'm gonna make romance
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night
Get down and prove it, feel all right
Keep on dancin'
Got to give it up

Tell My Sister
Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle



Weather man on the radio
threatens rain maybe snow
He just forecasts he don't know
I need blue skies
I've got to go

I'm not a cowboy, I've never been shot
I'm not a convict I've never been caught
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home alone

Sunday morning I boarded a plane
Leaving London England
In the pouring rain
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home alone

Someday I'll be back again
To that green and pleasant land
Between the Channel and the sea
Across the ocean, that's where I want to be

But until the, tie me to the ground
I've got to let these weary bones rest
From all that runnin' around
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home alone

My Little One
Composer(s): Gussin; Howe
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



My little one, as the years go by
There may be times when your heart will cry
And if you’re in need of a word of cheer
You can always turn to me

My little one, though I love you so
There’ll come a day I must let you go
But you have my love for eternity
Little one, you are everything to me

My darling, I love you so much
So much, there’s nothing in the world
Nothing that I wouldn’t do for you
And it gives me such a wonderful feeling
To know your mind fills me with more happiness
Than I’ve ever known before
And each night as you slip off to dreamland
I thank heaven for giving me you

My little one, though I love you so
There’ll come a day I must let you go
But you have my love for eternity
Little one, you are everything to me

Got To Get You Off My Mind
Composer(s): Solomon Burke;
Delores Burke; Fleecie Moore
Performer(s): Solomon Burke;
and various other artists



Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Yes it is

Gonna throw your picture away
You didn't want my love, any old way
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Yes it is

Some folks love is hard and strong
That's the kind of love that lingers on
Some folks love is swift and fast
That's the kind of love that'll never last

We had a love that was in between
And to me it was like a dream
If we had stayed together till June
Not a problem, bride and groom

That's why
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You've found somebody new
And our romance is through
Listen to me

Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
Got to get you off of my mind
I know it's just a matter of time

A Media Luz
((English Version: Tell Me, Marianne (Victor Sylvester & His Ballroom Orch.))
Composer(s): Carlos Cesar Lenzl - Edgardo Donato - E. Lengui
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; Julio Iglesias



Corrientes tres cuatro ocho, segundo piso, ascensor
No hay porteros ni vecinos, adentro cocktel de amor

Pisito que puso Maple, piano, estera y velador
Un telefón que contesta, una fonola que llora
Viejos tangos de mi flor y un gato de porcelana pa que 
No maulle el amor

Y todo a media luz, que es un brujo el amor
A media luz los besos, a media luz los dos
Y todo a media luz, crepúsculo interior
Que suave terciopelo la media luz de amor

Juncal doce venticuatro, telefonea sin temor
De tarde té con masitas, de noche tango y amor
Los domingos té danzante, los lunes desolación

Hay de todo en la casita, almohadones y divanes como en botica
Coco, alfombras que no hacen ruido y mesa puesta al amor...

My Little Lady
Composer(s): Blakley; Hawkes; Pace; Panzeri; Pilat
Performer(s): The Tremeloes



I think about my baby
a perfect little lady
I think about her shiny golden hair
I've never been a dreamer but every time I see her
I start to float away into the air
Oh, oh, my little lady

You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
and if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give

I wake up in the morning without a single warning
before I finish yawning she is there
I think about my baby
a perfect little lady
I think about her shiny golden hair
Oh, oh, my little lady

You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
and if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give

You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
and if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give

La la la la la ...

You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
and if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give

La la la la la ...

Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles



I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you

Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Then suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you...

My little inspiration is You oh Lord
Your happiness melts in my heart

All the Clairs de Lunes have heart shaped lips
The city streets all smile at the sun
All of man's joys are the color of heaven
The stars all wink their eyes at me
The rainy days have all stopped mourning
All the evenings fall asleep
to the lullaby of the birches
All the mornings drink of Your May wine

It's got to get better in a little while
It's got to get better in a little while
It's got to get better in a little while

Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground

Still one thing that you can do
Fall down on your knees and pray
I know the Lord's gonna answer you
Don't do it tomorrow, do it today

My Little Gypsy Wanda
Composer(s): Robert Levenson; Ted Garton



You wandered straight into my heart
when first I saw you smile
I hoped and prayed that you'd stay there
to love me all the while

The gypsy life has called to you
You've wandered back again
And now my heart juat longs for you
Must I call you all in vain

My little gypsy Wanda
Won't you wander back to me
For I still long for you after all of these years
And I still sit and watch for you through my tears

You've wandered and wandered all over the earth
You know just how much a home can be worth
My little gypsy Wanda
Won't you wander back home to me

I often wonder how it came
that my song reached your ears
I hardly thought you'd come back home
it's been so many years

But God was good, he gave me you
My pray'rs were not in vain
So just for old times' sake, sweetheart
I will sing that song again

My little gypsy Wanda
Won't you wander back to me
For I still long for you after all of these years
And I still sit and watch for you through my tears

You've wandered and wandered all over the earth
You know just how much a home can be worth
My little gypsy Wanda
Won't you wander back home to me
