The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart (aka Heart Of My Heart) Composer(s): Ben Ryan Performer(s): The Four Aces and multiple other artists
I sometimes wish I was a kid again Down in the old neighbourhood Just to be with Charlie, with little Joe and Pete Boy, we had a quartet that was mighty hard to beat I'd love to stand down by that cellar door Just to hear that Quartet sing once more....
"Heart of my heart", I love that melody "Heart of my heart" brings back a memory When we were kids on the corner of the street We were rough and ready guys But oh, how we could harmonise
"Heart of my heart" meant friends were dearer then Too bad we had to part I know a tear would glisten If once more I could listen To the gang that sang "Heart of my heart"
For You Alone Composer(s): P.J. O'Reilly; Henry E. Geehl Performer(s): Enrico Caruso; and various other artists
Take thou this rose This little tender rose The rarest flower In all God's garden fair And let it be While yet its crimson glows An emblem of the love I proudly bear
Take thou this heart The heart that loves thee well And let it flame Before thy shrine, my own Take thou my heart For oh, your dear eyes tell God fashioned it for you For you alone
The Gandy Dancer's Ball Composer(s): Paul Mason Howard - Paul Weston Performer(s): Frankie Laine and multiple other artists
Oh they danced on the ceiling And they danced on the wall At the Gandy Dancer's ball Hey! Swing around, Swing around Swing around the Jimmy John Swing around, Swing around The Jimmy, Jimmy John Swing around, Swing around Swing around the Jimmy John Swing the pretty girl round The Jimmy, Jimmy John
The Gandy Dancer is a railroad man And his work is never done With his pick and his shovel and his willing hands He makes the railroad run There's Macanaw Mack and Toledo Jack And the boys from Idaho And the Frisco kid and Saginaw Sid And good old Cotton-eyed Joe
Oh they danced on the ceiling And they danced on the wall At the Gandy Dancer's ball Hey! Swing around, Swing around Swing around the Jimmy John Swing around, Swing around The Jimmy, Jimmy John Swing around, Swing around Swing around the Jimmy John Swing the pretty girl round The Jimmy, Jimmy John
The boys will gather at the great affair The Gandy Dancer's ball A-kissin' their ladies with perfumed hair And prancin' round the hall They got the biggest band in all the land And the rhythm rocks the room And they holler out with a mighty shout When the big bass drum goes boom
Oh they danced on the ceiling And they danced on the wall At the Gandy Dancer's ball Hey! Swing around, Swing around Swing around the Jimmy John Swing around, Swing around The Jimmy, Jimmy John Swing around, Swing around Swing around the Jimmy John Swing the pretty girl round The Jimmy, Jimmy John
The railroads bring `em to the great affair The Gandy Dancer's ball An' every line is represented there The big ones and the small There's the MKT and the old SP And the Lee High Valley too The C and J and the Santa Fe The Southern and the Sioux
Oh they danced on the ceiling And they danced on the wall At the Gandy Dancer's ball Hey! Swing around, Swing around Swing around the Jimmy John Swing around, Swing around The Jimmy, Jimmy John Swing around, Swing around Swing around the Jimmy John Swing the pretty girl round The Jimmy, Jimmy John
They danced all day And they danced all night They all danced till the broad daylight At the Gandy Dancer's ball
(Swing around, swing around Swing around, swing around The Jimmy John)
Ce Soleil-Là
Composer(s): Brice Homs - Michel Fugain
Performer(s): Michel Fugain
Y avait le vent des jours où y a du vent L'océan qui dansait devant
Y avait la cime des séquoias Juste au-dessus de ça
Y avait ce grain de lumière Qu'on ne voit qu'au bord du désert Mais si j'avais su peindre, je crois Je n'aurais regardé que toi
Ce soleil-là Y avait ce soleil-là Qui donnait à ce moment-là Je ne sais, je ne sais quoi
Ce soleil-là J'aimais ce soleil-là Qui donnait à ce moment-là Ce je ne sais quoi Qui arrêtait le temps Et tout n'était que toi
Y avait le vert des rives et des rivières Dans la brûme du matin clair
Y avait les chutes du Niagara Juste au-dessous de ça
Y avait ce rien de moiteur Qu'on ne trouve qu'à l'équateur Mais si j'avais su peindre, je crois Je n'aurais regardé que toi
Ce soleil-là Y avait ce soleil-là Qui donnait à ce moment-là Je ne sais, je ne sais quoi
Ce soleil-là J'aimais ce soleil-là Qui donnait à ce moment-là Ce je ne sais quoi Qui arrêtait le temps Et tout n'était que Ce soleil-là Jour après jour Ce soleil-là J'aurais toujours Ce soleil-là Tant que tu seras là Tu seras là...
Games People Play Composer(s): Joe South First release by: Joe South - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1969 - Jeux Dangereux (Claude François) 1969 - Avevo Una Bambola (Formula 3) 1974 - Det Er Noget Vi Ska' Lege (Gustav Winckler)
Oh the games people play now Every night and every day now Never meaning what they say now Never saying what they mean
So they while away the hours In their ivory towers Till they're covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine
La-din-da... I'm talking 'bout you and me and the games people play
Oh they make one another cry Break their hearts and they say goodbye Cross their hearts and they hope to die That the other was to blame
Neither one would ever give in So they gaze at an eight by ten Thinkin' 'bout the way it might have been And it's a dirty rotten shame
La-din-da... I'm talking 'bout you and me and the games people play
People walkin' up to ya Singin' 'Glory, Hallalueah" And they try to sock it to ya In the name of the Lord
Gonna they teach you how to meditate Read your horoscope and cheat your fate And the further more to hell with hate Come on and get on board
Look around and tell me what you see What's happening to you and me God grant me the serenity To just remember who I am
La-din-da... I'm talking 'bout you and me and the games people play
Ce Soir, Je T'ai Perdu
Composer(s): François Feldman - Jean-Marie Moreau
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Je pleure sans fin toute cette eau de chagrin je griffe les murs le soir autour de moi je cri toute seule où je noircis des feuilles à l'ombre des volets, le cur violet
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu je n'avais plus que toi Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu mise à nue, j'ai froid sans toi
Je tourne en rond de la chambre au salon j'efface les traces du diable inoubliable je dors jamais et même si c'est pas vrai sois sage pour ma douleurs au moins une heure
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu je n'avais plus que toi Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu mise à nue, j'ai froid sans toi
Je veux pas défaire l'amour, et je m'accroche aux moindres bruits de ton retour et je déchire mes mains qui tremblent qui chavirent jusqu'au poison jusqu'au délire je touche le fond... je ne sais plus rire
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu je n'avais plus que toi Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu mise à nue, j'ai froid Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu je n'avais plus que toi Ce soir je t'ai perdu, o perdu mise à nue, j'ai froid sans toi, sans toi
Ce Soir Mon Amour
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Ce soir mon amour je ne t'aime plus Tu es plus loin que la distance qui nous sépare Et d'autant plus absente que tu n'es nulle part Plus étrangère que la première venue
Ce soir mon amour je ne te cherche plus Parmi mes souvenirs au fond de ma mémoire Je ne t'attends plus sur le quai d'aucune gare Je me souviens à peine t'y avoir attendue
Je sais que nous buvions du vin après l'amour Que nos nuits commençaient quand se levait le jour Comme un torrent d'ébène tes cheveux sur ton cou Et ton regard meurtri quand tu fais les yeux doux
Ce soir mon amour je ne te trompe plus Avec cette fille qui dort à mes côtés J'étais seul je lui ai demandé de rester Je suis seul très souvent et je m'y habitue
Ce soir mon amour tu ne me manques plus Tu ne me manques pas il me manque d'aimer De ne plus être inutile inanimé De n'avoir rien à perdre et d'avoir tout perdu
Je connais ta folie je connais ta pudeur Je sais qu'on se ressemble comme frère et sur Je connais ton odeur je connais ton parfum Je te connais par cur et je ne sais plus rien
De toi mon amour que je n'aime plus Sans arriver à me sentir enfin libre Pareil à un danseur qui perdrait l'équilibre Comme un prince en disgrâce comme un ange déchu
For You Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen; and various other artists
Princess cards she sends me with her regards Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy To see her you gotta look hard Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted To her cheshire smile I'll stand on file She's all I ever wanted You let your blue walls stand in the way of these facts, honey Get your carpet baggers off my back Girl give me time to cover my tracks You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks" But they're not what I came for Oh I came for so much more And I know you that too And I know you know that's true
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you
Crawl into my ambulance Your pulse is getting weak Reveal yourself all to me now While you've got the strength to speak 'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue With their oxygen masks But I could give it all to you now If only you could ask Don't call for your surgeon Even he says it's late It's not your lungs this time But your heart holds your fate Don't give me my money back Don't want it anymore It's not that nursery mouth I came back for It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor I've broken all your windows And I've rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars And you should know that's true You should know that too
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you
Don't call for your surgeon Even he says it's late It's not your lungs this time But your heart holds your fate Don't give me my money back Don't want it anymore It's not that nursery mouth I came back for It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor I've broken all your windows And I've rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars You should know that's true You should know that too
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you

Ce Soir Je Ne Dors Pas Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
Ce soir, je ne dors pas Comme la toute toute première fois Où tu es venu contre moi Où j'avais peur de toi Ce soir, je ne dors pas Comme la toute toute première fois Où tu dormais dans mes bras Où je prononçais ton nom tout bas
Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant Était si différent de toi Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant Était bien autrement, pourquoi
Ce soir je ne dors pas C'est la toute toute première fois Que je te sais loin de moi Et le vide n'en finit pas
Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant Était si différent de toi Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant Était bien autrement, pourquoi
Ce soir je ne dors pas C'est la toute toute première fois Où je comprends que c'est toi Ce garçon que je n'attendais pas
For What It's Worth Composer(s): Stephen Stills Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield; and various other artists
There's something happening here And what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I've got to beware Think it's time we stop children, what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' down
There's battle lines being drawn And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds A-getting so much resistance from behind And we stop, what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' down
What a field day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs Mostly say "hooray for our side" It's time to stop, hey what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' down
Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid Step outta line, the men come and take you away You betta stop, hey what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' now Stop, hey what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' now You betta stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's goin' now Stop, children ..........
Tell me just what you want me to be One kiss and boom you're the only one for me So please tell me why don't you come around no more 'Cause right now I'm crying outside the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this A little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs A little bit of pain I'm telling you, my babe It's all in the game of love...
... (love) is, whatever you make it to be Sunshine instead of this cold, lonely sea So please baby try and use me for what I'm good for It ain't sayin' goodbye its knocking down the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this A little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs A little bit of pain I'm telling you, my babe It's all in the game of love...
It's all in this game of love You roll me Control me Console me Please hold me You guide me Divide me Into one...
So please tell me why don't you come around no more 'Cause right now I'm dying outside the door of your loving store
It just takes a little bit of this A little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs A little bit of pain I'm telling you, my babe It's all in the game of love...
It's all in this game of love It's all in the game of love Lets play the game of love
Roll me Control me Please hold me (make me feel good, yeah)
Ce Soir Ils Vont S'aimer
Composer(s): Pierre-André Dousset - Christian Gaubert
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer, leur cur est amoureux Ce soir, le monde entier pourra tourner sans eux Ils sont venus ce soir, se tenant par la main Dans ce petit bistrot à Saint-Germain
Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer, leur cur est amoureux Ce soir, le ciel d'un lit se fermera sur eux Ils lisent leur amour dans le creux de leur main Je vois leurs yeux remplis de lendemain
Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer, leur cur est amoureux Ce soir, un grand amour va commencer pour eux Dans un éclat de rire, ils se sont embrassés Je les ai vus partir, émerveillés
Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer, leur cur est amoureux Ce soir, ils vont s'aimer comme on s'aime nous deux Je sais qu'à Saint-Germain à notre rendez-vous Les amoureux, demain, ce sera nous
For The Very First Time Composer(s): Dennis "Terry Cashman" Minogue; Gene Pistilli; T.P. West Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Anywhere that you go I'll follow along I'd be a fool to keep on singin' my own song I never thought about love up until now I guess it's time I started learnin' how
Chorus: You smiled at me and "give in" swelled inside my mind For the very first time I thought of lovin' things I want them to be yours and mine For the very first time I find myself in love
"Ain't no such thing as always" I used to say But now that I've found you, here is where I'll always stay You know how much I need you, I know myself I'd rather miss you, darlin', than be with someone else
The Game Composer(s): Ian McCulloch - Les Pattinson - Will Sergeant First release by: Echo & The Bunnymen - 1987
A sense of duty was my one intention and an ugly beauty was my own invention Pride a proud refusal and I refuse to need your approval Too many seekers Too few beacons But through the fog we'll keep on beaming
Through the crying hours of your glitter years all the living out of your tinsel tears and the midnight trains I never made 'cos I'd already played... the game
Everybody's got their own good reason why their favorite season is their favorite season Winter winners and those summers sons aren't good for everyone aren't good for everyone Spring has sprung and autumns well done so well done
And it's a better thing that we do now forgetting everything the whys and hows While you reminisce about the things you miss you won't be ready to kiss... goodbye
The earth is a world The world is a ball A ball in a game with no rules at all And just as I wonder at the beauty of it all you go and drop it and it breaks and falls
I'll never understand why you thought I would need to be reassured and be understood When I always knew that your bad's my good and I was ready ready... to be loved
Born under Mars With Jupiter rising Fallen from stars That lit my horizon
I'll never understand why you thought I would need to be reassured and be understood When I always knew that your bad's my good and I was ready ready... to be
Through the crying hours of your glitter years all the living out of your tinsel tears and the midnight trains I never made 'cos I'd already played
it's a better thing that we do now forgetting everything the whys and hows While you reminisce about the things you miss you won't be ready to kiss... goodbye
ce soir il y a quel'qu'un qui m'emmène dîner pour m'arranger un peu je vais me faire les yeux ce soir il y a quel'qu'un que j'aimerais regarder écouter de mon mieux car sans savoir ce qu'il veut j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise je n'oserai rien faire je n'oserai rien faire je serai mal à l'aise j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise qu'il me plaise je serai mal à l'aise ce soir il y a quel'qu'un qui m'emmène dîner pour m'arranger un peu je vais laver mes cheveux j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise je n'oserai rien faire je n'oserai rien faire je serai mal à l'aise j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise qu'il me plaise je serai mal à l'aise j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise je n'oserai rien faire je n'oserai rien faire je serai mal à l'aise j'ai envie de lui plaire j'ai envie de lui plaire et j'ai peur qu'il me plaise qu'il me plaise j'ai bien peur qu'il me plaise
