The Great Filling Station Holdup
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



I pulled into the regular pump 
I was feelin' quite at ease 
I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please" 
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun 
He said, "Boy this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run" 

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer 
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Because that great fillin' station holdup 
Cost me two good years 

We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP 
A big ol' jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV 
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career 
We're wanted men, we'll strike again 
But first let's have a beer 

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer 
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Because that great fillin' station holdup 
Cost me two good years 

We were sittin' in the Krystal 
About as drunk as we could be 
In walks the deputy sheriff 
And he's holdin' our TV 
Roughed us, then he cuffed us 
And he took us off to jail 
No pictures on a poster, no reward and no bail 

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer 
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here 
Because that great fillin' station holdup 
Cost me two good years 

Yes that great fillin' station holdup 
It cost me two good years

C'est Facile
Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



C'est facile
Les promesses et les serments
C'est facile
D'être amoureux tout le temps
C'est facile
De le dire à tout moment
Mais le faire est parfois plutôt fatiguant

C'est facile
D'aller l'emmener danser
C'est facile
Et puis la raccompagner
C'est facile
Un dernier verre dans sa chambre
Mais la suite est parfois tellement fatigante

Pourtant
Un jour, tu viendras
Et là
Je t'ouvrirai
Mais, crois moi,
Et toi
Tu t'y blottiras
Et cette fois, tu sais je ne m'échapperai pas

C'est facile
Les promesses et les serments
C'est facile
D'être amoureux tout le temps
C'est facile
De le dire à tout moment
C'est facile
Avec toi de faire des enfants

C'est facile
Avec toi de faire des enfants

C'est facile
Les promesses et les serments
C'est facile
D'être amoureux tout le temps
C'est facile
De le dire à tout moment
C'est facile
Avec toi de faire des enfants

C'est facile
Les promesses et les serments
C'est facile
D'être amoureux tout le temps
C'est facile
De le dire à tout moment
C'est facile
Avec toi de faire des enfants

Cerisier Rose Et Pommier Blanc
((English Version: Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White (Perez "Prez" Prado & His Orch.) - 1954))
Composer(s): Jacques Larue - Luis Guglielmi
First release by: André Claveau & Jo Boyer & Orch. - 1950
Covered by various other artists



Quand nous jouions à la marelle
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc
J'ai cru mourir d'amour pour elle
En l'embrassant

Avec ses airs de demoiselle
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc
Elle avait attiré vers elle
Mon coeur d'enfant

La branche d'un cerisier
De son jardin caressait
La branche d'un vieux pommier
Qui dans le mien fleurissait

De voir leurs noeuds enlacés
Comme un bouquet de printemps
Nous vint alors la pensée
D'en faire autant

Et c'est ainsi qu'aux fleurs nouvelles
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc 
On fait un soir la courte échelle
À nos quinze ans 

Non, non ne dites pas qu'à son âge
Vous n'étiez pas si volage 
Non, non quand deux lèvres vous attirent
J'en sais peu qui peuvent dire non

Quand nous jouions à la marelle
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc 
J'ai cru mourir d'amour pour elle 
En l'embrassant

Mais un beau jour les demoiselles 
Frimousse rose et voile blanc 
Se font conduire à la chapelle 
Par leur galant

Ah quel bonheur pour chacun
Le cerisier tout fleuri 
Et le pommier n'en font qu'un 
Nous sommes femme et mari

De voir les fruits de l'été
Naître des fleurs du printemps 
L'amour nous a chuchoté 
D'en faire autant 

Si cette histoire est éternelle 
Pour en savoir le dénouement 
Apprenez-en la ritournelle
Tout simplement 

Et dans deux ans
Deux bébés roses faisant la ronde gentiment 
Vous chanteront 
Cerisier rose et pommier blanc

Försonade
English Title: Reunited
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Var inte ledsen, le lite grann
Du har väl redan förlåtit mig, eller hur
Ta nu min hand och krama den hårt
Du vinner ingenting på att vara tvär

Låt mig få viska hur mycket jag tycker om dig än
Låt mig förklara för dig att jag har dig kär
Ge mig din hand nu, ge mig din kärlek
Ta mig i famnen igen

Förlåt, förlåt
Jag är din, bara din
Kom närmre mig
Förlåt, förlåt!

Det var nog dumt, alltsammans jag sa
Det är så lätt, alla gör vi våra fel
Men den försoningskyss ska nu få
Göra att jag känner att nu lyckan jag når

Kom nu och låt oss tillsammans få höra fåglars sång
Ta mig i famnen och säg att du har mig kär
Allt det vi drömde, så kär, jag gömde
Allt är förlåtet igen

Du tar min hand och du trycker den ömt
Och sen är hela grälet glömt

Dear Santa, Bring Back My Daddy To Me!
Composer(s): Glenn Gibson
Performer(s): Irene Treadwell



I don't want a dolly for Christmas
And Santa, please don't bring me toys
I don't want to play, I'll just give them away
To some other girls and boys

I won't even hang up my stocking
I won't have a big Christmas tree
Dear Santa, I'm sad, you could make me so glad
If you bring back my Daddy to me

(I don't want a dolly for Christmas)
(And Santa, please don't bring me toys)
(I don't want to play, I'll just give them away}
(To some other girls and boys)

I won't even hang up my stocking
I won't have a big Christmas tree
Dear Santa, I'm sad, you could make me so glad
If you bring back my Daddy to me

Ceremonia
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Se despierta a la aventura
ceremonia de nacer
y la sangre se hace fuego
ceremonia del amor
y la carne se hace sangre
ceremonia fuiste tú
Por qué tanta ceremonia
ceremonia de dudar
Si la duda se adormece
ceremonia de morir

For Me ... Formidable
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Jacques Plante

Laura Fygi; Gene Lees; Caterina Zapponi



You are the one for me... for me... formi... formidable
You are my love... very... very... véri... véritable
Oh, je voudrais tellement pouvoir enfin te le dire
Te l'écrire dans la langue de Shakespeare

My daisy... daisy... dési... désirable
Je suis malheureux d'avoir si peu de mots à
T'offrir un cadeau
"Darling I love you, love you, darling, I want you"
Et puis, c'est à peu près tout
You are the one for me... for me... formi... formidable

You are the one for me... for me... formi... formidable
But how can you see me... see me... si mi... si minable
Je ferais mieux d'aller choisir mon vocabulaire
Pour te plaire, dans la langue de Voltaire

Toi, tes eyes, ton nose, tes lips adorables
Tu n'as rien compris, tant pis, ne t'en fais pas, et
Viens t'en dans mes bras
Darling I love you, love you, darling, I want you
Et puis le reste, on s'en fout
You are the one for me... formi... formidable

Je me demande même pourquoi je t'aime
Toi qui te moque de moi et de tout
Avec ton rire canaille, canaille, canaille
How can I love you?

The Great Airplane Strike
Composer(s): Mark Lindsay - Paul Revere & the Raiders - Terry Melcher
Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders



I was down in L.A. town, when our manager said "Jump"
I through my close and my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk
I pushed it to the airport and run to the ticket line
Man said "Son, you could have saves the run, those airplanes just quit flyin'"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home, umm, huum

I ran to the terminal building, to fly by my airline
The man said I could ride the wing and I said that was fine
He said "I'll confirm your reservation, and put the plane on hold"
He came back and said "Sorry but that wing space just been sold"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home, umm, huum, baby

I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire
Throw on lots of paper and the flames kept gettin' higher
The janitor come runnin' in, so scare his face was white
So, I explained my situation, he said "That's all right"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed my thing again
Waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in
Spotted one that wasn't full and I threw myself in fast
The driver said "I'm sorry but this taxi's out of gas"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Formentera Lady
Composer(s): Robert Fripp; Peter Sinfield
Performer(s): King Crimson



Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shore-line
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
Here I wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow
Down a sun-baked crumpled stony road

Dusty wheels leaning rusting in the sun
Snuff brown walls where Spanish lizards run
Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan
Ringed by ants and musing over man

I'll unwind my old strings while the sun shine down
Won't climb any high thing while the sun shine
Formentera Lady sing your song for me
Formentera Lady sweet lover

Lamplights glows on old guitars the travellers strum
Insence children dance to an Indian drum
Here Odysseus charmed for dark Circe fell
Still her perfume lingers still her spell

Time's grey hand won't catch me while the sun shine down
Untie and unlatch me while the stars shine
Formentera Lady dance your dance for me
Formentera Lady dark lover

Cerdes (Outside The Gates Of)
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



Outside the gates of Cerdes sits the two-pronged unicorn
who plays at relaxation time a rhinestone flugelhorn
whilst mermaids lace carnations into wreaths for ailing whales
and Neptune dances hornpipes while Salome sheds her veils

Phallus Phil tries peddling his pewter painted pot
but Sousa Sam can only hear the screams of Peep the sot
who only sips his creme de menthe from terra cotta cups
and exhales menthol scented breath whilst spewing verbiage up

Down technical blind alleys live the wraiths of former dreams
And Greeps who often crossed them are no longer what they seem
And even Christian Scientists can but display marble plaques
Which only retell legends whilst my eyes reach out for facts
Yeah, my eyes reach out for facts

Forgive Me
Composer(s): Wiley Walker; Gene Sullivan
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



I left you and left you broken hearted
I left you and now I can’t forget
I thought then that I could live without you
Forgive me and I’ll make you happy yet

Forgive me for all the pain I’ve caused you
Forgive me for unkind words I’ve said
I thought once that I could live without you
I’m paying with a broken heart instead

Ah Leon

I wish I had never made you blue Sweetheart
I wish I could live it over now
I know now that I can’t live without you
Forgive me and I’ll make it up somehow

Forgive me for all the pain I’ve caused you
Forgive me for unkind words I’ve said
I thought once that I could live without you
I’m paying with a broken heart instead

The Grand Tour
Composer(s): George Richey - Carmol Taylor - Norro Wilson
First release by: George Jones - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Step right up, come on in
if you'd like to take the grand tour
of the lonely house that once was home sweet home

I have nothing here to sell you
just some things that I will tell you
some things I know will chill you to the bone 

Over there, sits the chair
where she'd bring the paper to me 
and sit down on my knee and whisper, "Oh I love you" 

But now she's gone forever
and this old house will never be the same
without the love which we once knew 

Straight ahead, that's the bed 
where we lay in love together
and lord knows we had a good thing goin' here 

See her picture on the table
don't it look like she'd be able
just to touch me and say, "Good mornin' dear" 

There's her rings, all her things
and her clothes are in the closet
like she left them when she tore my world apart 

As you'll leave you'll see the nursery
Lord she left me without mercy
taking nothing, but our baby and my heart

Step right up
Come on in... 

Cercami
Composer(s): Gianluca Podio - Renato Zero
First release by: Renato Zero - 1998
Covered by multiple other artists


Cercami, come e quando e dove vuoi
cercami, è più facile che mai
cercami, non soltanto nel bisogno
tu cercami, con la volontà e l'impegno, rinventami
Se mi vuoi allora cercami di più
tornerò solo se ritorni tu
sono stato invadente, eccessivo lo so
il pagliaccio di sempre, anche quello era amore però
Questa vita ci ha puniti già
troppe quelle verità che ci son rimaste dentro
Oggi che fatica che si fa
come è finta l'allegria, quanto amaro disincanto
Io sono qui, insultami feriscimi
sono così, tu prendimi o cancellami
adesso sì tu mi dirai che uomo mai ti aspetti
io mi berrò l'insicurezza che mi dai
l'anima mai farò tacere pure lei
se mai vivrò di questa clandestinità
per sempre

Fidati, che hanno un peso gli anni miei
fidati, e sorprese non ne avrai
sono quello che vedi io pretese non ho
se davvero mi credi di cercarmi non smettere no
Questa vita ci ha puniti già
l'insoddisfazione qua c'ha raggiunti facilmente
così poco abili anche noi a non dubitare mai
di una libertà indecente
Io sono qui ti seguirò ti basterò
non resterò una riserva questo no
dopo di che quale altra alternativa può salvarci
Io resto qui mettendo a rischio i giorni miei
scomodo sì perché non so tacere mai
adesso sai senza un movente non vivrei
comunque
Cercami, cercami, non smettere

Forget Me Not
Composer(s): Herbie Kalin; Harold Kalin
Performer(s): The Kalin Twins



Forget the fellows that you knew before
You ain't a gonna see them anymore
Forget the trip that you were gonna take
Forget it all, but for goodness sake
Forget me not
Forget me not
You're all I got
Forget me not

Forget the dating ev'ry Friday night
I ain't a gonna let you out of sight
I'm going out and buy a wedding ring
So you can start forgetting ev'ry thing
Forget me not
Forget me not
You're all I got
Forget me not

Forget the fellows at the candy store
'Cause you ain't a gonna see them anymore
Forget the talking on the telephone
Tell your ma to tell them you're not home
Forget me not
Forget me not
You're all I got
Forget me not

Forget the way you roll them big blue eyes
At all those big and handsome foot-ball guys
Forget the meeting all the gang at three
From now on you're walking home with me
Forget me not
Forget me not
You're all I got
Forget me not

The Grand Old Duke Of York
(Traditional)



Oh! The grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again

And when they were up they were up
And when they were down they were down
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down

Oh! The grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
They banged their drums as they went up the hill
And they banged them down again

And when they were up they were up
And when they were down they were down
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down

Oh! The grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
They tootled their flutes as they marched up the hill
And they tootled them down again

And when they were up they were up
And when they were down they were down
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down

Cercami
Composer(s): Enzo Gragnaniello
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano



Cercami se puoi
sto perdendomi, sto perdendoti
amami se puoi
sto sciogliendomi, sto sciogliendoti

Io non cerco il seno
quello ha già confuso il cuore e la tua anima

io non chiedo al tempo
che mi invecchia e mi tormenta
di fermarsi un più

Un giorno vivranno nel mondo
senza di noi
un giorno vivranno nel mondo
senza di noi

E poi amandoci resteremo li
dentro l'anima

Animandoci ballerà con noi
anche l'aria

Io non cerco il seno
quello ha già confuso il cuore e la tua anima
e non chiedo al tempo che mi invecchia
e mi tormenta, di fermarsi un po'

Un giorno vivranno nel mondo
senza di noi
Un giorno vivranno nel mondo
senza di noi

E poi amandoci resteremo lì
dentro l'anima
Animandoci ballerà con noi
anche l'aria

Forget Me Not
Composer(s): Les Van Dyke
Performer(s): Eden Kane



I've been cryin' my heart out
Do you love me or do you love me not
If you keep tryin', you'll hear me sighin'
Forg-e-e-et me not

I've been wearin' my mind out
To have you close I'd give all that I've got
The love we tasted, has it been wasted
Forg-e-e-et me not

Ain't I just a lucky guy
Forget me not, forget me not
Woh, I'd lay me down to die
If love is one big lie

There's no need to remind me
Love's afire when the kisses grow hot
So take this ember, then you'll remember
Forg-e-e-et me not

Well, ain't I just a lucky guy
Forget me not, forget me not
Woh, I'd lay me down to die
If love is one big lie

There's no need to remind me
Love's afire when the kisses grow hot
So take this ember, then you'll remember
Forg-e-e-et me not

Forg-e-e-et me not

Forg-e-e-et me not

The Grand Illusion
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Performer(s): Styx



Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star

But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same
We're all the same...

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same
We're all the same...

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
