The House Is Haunted (By The Echo Of Your Last Goodbye)
Composer(s): Billy Rose - Basil Adlam
Performer(s): Mel Tormé
and multiple other artists



The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye
The house is haunted by the mem'ries that refuse to die
I can't get away from a vision that brings
Intimate glimpses of intimate things
A voice in my heart like a torch singer sings
I wonder who's kissing her now?
The house is haunted by the echo of your fav'rite song
The place is cluttered up with mem'ries that have lived too long
Much too long
The ceiling is white, but the shadows are black
The ghost in my heart says she'll never come back
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye
I'll never forget you, I'll never forget you
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye

C'est What?
Composer(s): Rick Davies
Performer(s): Supertramp



Yes I've been waiting
Waiting patiently and waiting

Well if you ever feeling sorry
So sorry for yourself
And they tell you not to worry
Just leave your problems on the shelf

C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
That's what they tell you
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Day and night

You're on the inside looking outside
Wishing you were somewhere else
But you sit back with reservations
As you count up all your unearned wealth

C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Ah they're sayin' it again
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
You know it and I know it too

Well let me tell you a story
Like the ones I used to know
'Bout love and all its glory
Well I'm sorry but it just ain't so

It took a long time just to get even
If you know just what I mean
So let's call it even Steven
In the land of broken dreams

C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Ah they're at it again
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Every day and every night
I can't take it anymore

Gonna get it, don't sweat it
Don't apologize, it's all around you
Gonna get it, don't sweat it
Don't apologize, it's all around you

You may never be all that you wanna be
Deep down inside you, you know it will never be
No bed of roses or walk down the avenue
Culturally, socially, people walk over you
Get with the program and make with the attitude
Life is a dream if you face it my friend

Hey Hey

Free Bird
Composer(s): Allen Collins; Ronnie Van Zant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



If I leave here tomorrow 
Would you still remember me? 
For I must be travelling on, now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now 
And this bird you can not change 
Lord knows, I can't change

Bye, bye, it's been a sweet love
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it badly
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame 
But, if I stayed here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
Cause I'm as free as a bird now 
And this bird you'll never change
And this bird you can not change 
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change

You Are My Heart's Delight ((aka My Heart Is Yours Alone (Richard Tauber) - 1931))
((German Version: Dein ist mein ganzes Herz (Richard Tauber) - 1929))
Composer(s): Franz Lehár - Harry Graham
Performer(s): Richard Tauber - 1931
and multiple other artists



You are my heart’s delight
And where you are, I long to be
You make my darkness bright
When like a star you shine on me
Shine, then, my whole life through
Your life divine bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may at last come true
And I shall hear you whisper, “I love you”

In dreams when night is falling
I seem to hear you calling
For you have cast a net around me
And ‘neath a magic spell hath bound me
Yours, yours alone
A wondrous air is your beautiful hair
Bright as a summer sky is the night in your eyes
Soft as a sparkling star is the warmth of my love

You are my heart’s delight
And where you are, I long to be
You make my darkness bright
When like a star you shine on me
Shine, then, my whole life through
Your life divine bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may at last come true
And I shall hear you whisper, “I love you”

C'est Vrai
Composer(s): Casimir Oberfeld - Albert Willemetz
Performer(s): Mistinguett



Oui c'est moi me voila je m'ramène
J'ai vu London j'ai vu Turin
L'Autriche-Hongrie
Mais de Vienne il fallait que j'revienne
Car je n'peux pas moi je vous l'dis
M'passer de Paris
Ce Paris qui pourtant vous chine tant et tant

On dit que j'aime les aigrettes
Les plumes et les toilettes
C'est vrai
On dit que j'ai la voix qui traîne
En chantant mes rengaines
C'est vrai
Lorsque ça monte trop haut moi je m'arrête
Et d'ailleurs on n'est pas ici à l'Opéra
On dit que j'ai l'nez en trompette
Mais j'serais pas Mistinguett
Si j'étais pas comme ça

Que c'est bon quand on vient d'Amsterdam
Et qu'on a vu pendant des mois des tas d'pays
De retrouver le macadam de Paname
Ses autobus et son métro et ses taxis
Paris et ses boulevards avec tous ses bobards
On dit que j'ai de grandes quenottes
Que je n'ai que trois notes
C'est vrai
On dit que j'aime jouer les arpètes
Les marchandes de violettes
C'est vrai
Mais ne voulant pas chiper aux grandes coquettes
Leur dame aux camélias moi j'vends mes bégonias
On dit que j'ai de belles gambettes
Mais j'serais pas Mistinguett
Si j'étais pas comme ça

On dit quand je fais mes emplettes
Que j'paye pas c'que j'achète
C'est vrai
On dit partout et l'on répète
Que j'lâche pas mes pépettes
C'est vrai
Mais si elle faisait comme moi pour sa galette
Marianne n'aurait pas un budget aussi bas
Et si l'on mettait à la tête des finances Mistinguett
On en serait pas là!

Free To Be ... You And Me
Composer(s): Bruce Hart; Stephen Lawrence
Performer(s): The New Seekers



There's a land that I see where the children are free
And I say it ain't far to this land from where we are
Take my hand, come with me, where the children are free
Come with me, take my hand, and we'll live

In a land where the river runs free
In a land through the green country
In a land to a shining sea
And you and me are free to be you and me

I see a land bright and clear, and the time's comin' near
When we'll live in this land, you and me, hand in hand
Take my hand, come along, lend your voice to my song
Come along, take my hand, sing a song

For a land where the river runs free
For a land through the green country
For a land to a shining sea
For a land where the horses run free
And you and me are free to be you and me

Every boy in this land grows to be his own man
In this land, every girl grows to be her own woman
Take my hand, come with me where the children are free
Come with me, take my hand, and we'll run

To a land where the river runs free
To a land through the green country
To a land to a shining sea
To a land where the horses run free
To a land where the children are free
And you and me are free to be
And you and me are free to be
And you and me are free to be you and me

The House I Live In (That's America To Me)
Composer(s): Lewis Allan - Earl Robinson
First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1945
Covered by multiple other artists



What is A-mer-i-ca to me?
A name, a map, the flag I see
a cer-tain word, "De-moc-ra-cy"
What is A-mer-i-ca to me?

The house I live in 
A plot of earth, a street
The groc-er and the butch-er and the peo-ple that I meet
The chil-dren in the play-ground, the fac-es that I see
All rac-es, all re-lig-ions, that's A-mer-i-ca to me

The place I work in, the work-er at my side
The lit-tle town or cit-y where my peo-ple lived and died
The "how-dy" and the hand-shake the air of feel-ing free
the right to speak my mind out, that's A-mer-i-ca to me

The things I see a-bout me the big things and the small
The lit-tle cor-ner news-stand and the house a mile tall
The wed-ding and the church-yard, the laugh-ter and the tears
The dream that's been a grow-in' for a hun-dred fif-ty years

The town I live in the street, the house, the room
The pave-ment of the cit-y, or a gar-den all in bloom
The church, the school, the club house
The mil-lion lights I see 
But es-pec-ial-ly the peo-ple
That's A-mer-i-ca

Pour aller au bar j'ai quitté ma maison

Free The People
Composer(s): Barbara Keith
Performer(s): Delaney & Bonnie:
and various other artists



Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

Saw a man walk on water
And everybody looking on
I didn't know I was his daughter, daughter, daughter
Till both of us had come and gone

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

If you see me in the alley
Looking like I don't belong
Oh, you can put me in your deepest valley
I'll be singing the same old song

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar

The Hostage
Composer(s): Giorgio Moroder - Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Donna Summer



Lady:
Hallo

Kidnapper:
Lady we've just kidnapped your husband
Have $800,000 ready by tomorrow night
and lady no police
or you'll never see your husband alive again

Lady:
Hallo
I remember standing there so petrified
my hand frozen to the phone
as a stranger's words that caught in my ears
and chilled me to the bone
Some dark tragedy had come right home to me
they'd kidnapped my man and his life was in their hands

He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands

Lady:
Hallo

Kidnapper:
Lady, here's your husband through
to warn not to play any games

Husband:
Hi honey listen I'm okay
Just make sure you do whatever they tell you
and whatever you do don't go to the police!

Lady:
Well I couldn't raise that kinda money fast
so I was left no other choice
so I called the police and they came in fast
saying "leave it up to us
just do as they told
the ransom's in this bag
we'll watch over you
and we'll have your husband back too"

He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands

Lady:
Hallo

Kidnapper:
Listen very carefully lady
Drive out to the abandoned shack on Highway 16
throw the package of money out the window and keep driving
and remember lady no police!
Well my heart was heavy as I made that drive
I was sure something was wrong
I soon found the shack
I threw out the bag and I just kept driving on
Then the shots rang out and I turned my car about
On the ground one lay but the other one had gotten away

He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands

Lady:
Well they found my husband a few days later
Yes, the funeral's tomorrow

C'est Une Gamine Charmante
Composer(s): Albert Willernetz - Francis Solar - Henri Christiné
Performer(s): André Bourvil



Quand je la croisai l'autre soir, c'était à minuit rue d'Athènes
La voyant seule qui se promène, je lui dis: "Mon enfant, bonsoir"
J'ajoutai: "À cette heure indue, que faites-vous donc dans la rue?"
Naïvement, et sans savoir, elle me dit: "Je fais le trottoir"

C'est une gamine charmante, charmante, charmante
Qui possède une âme innocente, innocente
En elle tout est poésie, poésie
Elle répond au joli nom d'Aspasie

Devant la blancheur et l'éclat de son cou plus blanc que l'albâtre
Je lui dis: "Quel coup de théâtre, quel coup du ciel, quel coup d'état!"
"Oh!", fit-elle d'un p'tit air honnête, "Vous n'connaissez que mon coup d'tête
Mais vous serez chipé, je l'crains, quand vous connaîtrez mon coup de rein!"

C'est une gamine charmante, charmante, charmante
Qui possède une âme innocente, innocente
En elle tout est poésie, poésie
Elle répond au joli nom d'Aspasie

Free Ride

The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused 'bout which to go
So I flew in to give you a hand
And lead you into, the promised land

Chorus:

Come on and take a free ride, free ride
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride!

All over the country, I'm seeing the same
Nobody's winning, at this type of game
We got to do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers 
Must come from within

Chorus 

Chorus

Come on and take a free ride yea, yea, yea, yea......

The Host, The Ghost, The Most Holy-O
Composer(s): VanVliet
Performer(s): Captain Beefheart



Why, not even a rustler'd have anything to do 
with this branded bum steer world 
this pirate flag headlong disaster course vessel 
misguided charted this nautical numbskull hull 
sink in silence smoke - blow your chest out in hope 
sits spread-eagle on poor men 
piled high on truth mountain - last speak in clarity's chain 
you'll not be thrown but dive and sink 
your pockets filled with earthly burdens 
when they could be filled with light and back with wings 
the sky is dark in daytime 
and still the blackbird's beauty lyrics clean 
sing ye brothers and end this miserable thing 
and brush the dark sky in light 
and let the moon bell crack and ring 
upon the mast of mercy 
for she is a beautiful thing 
I watched her cut with clarity 
the sea of Satan's red rolling water 
that stung my eyes with vile vile brine 
and clung to the vine that choked Mary's only Son 
God in vain to slaughter 
I can't darken your dark cross door no more 
the light lovely one with the nothing door 
and oh that pours life water

C'est Une Fille Comme Toi!
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



C'est une fille comme toi
Qu'il me faut à moi
J'ai le cœur qui bondit
Dès que je te vois
Je te trouve du tonnerre
Tu as tout pour me plaire
Pourtant tu ne fais rien pour ça

Une fille comme toi
J'en avais rêvé
Tu es là devant moi
Et je suis comblé
Ton être se délivre
Et c'est ma joie de vivre
Que dans tes yeux je vois briller

J'ai du soleil plein la tête
Et tout me semble beau
Je veux crier
Crier à tous les échos oh oh oh

C'est une fille comme toi
Qu'il me faut à moi
Les copains c'est certain
N'en reviendrons pas
Tu me dis que tu m'aimes
Ma vie est sans problèmes
Avec une fille comme toi

J'ai du soleil plein la tête
Et tout me semble beau
Je veux crier
Crier à tous les échos oh oh oh

C'est une fille comme toi
Qu'il me faut à moi
Les copains c'est certain
N'en reviendrons pas
Tu me dis que tu m'aimes
Ma vie est sans problèmes
Avec une fille comme toi

Free Man In Paris
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell;
and various other artists



"The way I see it," he said 
"You just can't win it... 
Everybody's in it for their own gain 
You can't please 'em all 
There's always somebody calling you down 
I do my best 
And I do good business 
There's a lot of people asking for my time 
They're trying to get ahead 
They're trying to be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris 
I felt unfettered and alive 
There was nobody calling me up for favors 
And no one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow 
But for the work I've taken on 
Stoking the star maker machinery 
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers 
And telephone screamers 
Lately I wonder what I do it for 
If l had my way 
I'd just walk out those doors 
And wander 
Down the Champs Elysees 
Going cafe to cabaret 
Thinking how I'll feel when I find 
That very good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris 
I felt unfettered and alive 
Nobody was calling me up for favors 
No one's future to decide 
You know I'd go back there tomorrow 
But for the work I've taken on 
Stoking the star maker machinery 
Behind the popular song

The Horses
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Rickie Lee Jones
First release by: Rickie Lee Jones - 1989



We will fly way on high
Where the cool winds blow
Or in the sun laughing having fun
With all the people we know
If the situation should keep us separated
I know the world won't fall apart
You will free the beautiful bird
Caught inside your heart

Can you see her oh she flies so proud
Cast her wild wings over water and cloud

That's the way it's gonna be little darling
We'll go riding on the horses
Way up in the sky little darling
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

You will grow until you go
I'll be right there by your side
Even then a whispering wind
Will call me to you in the night
I hear all the people of the world
In my one bird's cry
I see them trying every way they know
To make their spirits fly

Can you see her moonlight in her eye
Coming from under my wing
You were born to fly

That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
We'll go riding on the horses
Way up in the sky little darling
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

C'est Une Andalouse
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Pauvre loup tremblant et blessé
Mon cœur pleure sa vieille liberté
Depuis que les dents farouches
D'un monstre hâlé
Déchirent mon cœur et mon passé

C'est une Andalouse
Et elle peut prendre ma vie
Quand elle sourit
Quand elle se fait douce
Elle me blesse aussi tant pis...

C'est une Andalouse
Et son cœur insoumis
Dévore ma vie
Et sans qu'on la pousse
Elle peut tuer aussi, tant pis
Mon Dieu bénissez les brebis
À qui l'amour simple est permis
Au fond de quels orages
De quelles mêlées
Fût créé ce monstre pressé

C'est une Andalouse
Et elle peut prendre ma vie
Quand elle sourit
Quand elle se fait douce
Elle me blesse aussi tant pis...

Au fond de ta vie toi qui ris
Toi qui te crois bien à l'abri
Demande aux dieux superbes, de ton pays
De t'épargner cette angoissée

C'est une Andalouse
Et elle peut prendre ma vie
Quand elle sourit
Quand elle se fait douce
Elle me blesse aussi tant pis...

It's a long day, livin' in Reseda

And I'm free, free fallin'
Oh!

Free fallin'

The Honeysuckle And The Bee
Composer(s): William H. Penn - Albert H. Fitz
Performer(s): Arthur Collins 
and multiple other artists



On a summer afternoon
Where the honeysuckles bloom
When all nature seemed at rest
‘Neath a little rustic bower
Mid the perfume of the flower
A maiden sat with one she loved the best
As they sang the songs of love
From the arbour just above
Came a bee which lit upon the vine
As it sipped the honey-dew
They both vowed they would be true
Then he whispered to her words she thought divine

You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee
I’d like to sip the honey sweet
From those red lips, you see
I love you dearly, dearly
And I want you to love me
You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee

So beneath that sky so blue
These two lovers fond and true
With their hearts so filled with bliss
As they sat there side by side
He asked her to be his bride
She answered “Yes” and sealed it with a kiss
For her heart had yielded soon
‘Neath the honeysuckle bloom
And thro’ life they’d wander day by day
And he vowed just like the bee
“I will build a home for thee”
And the bee then seemed to answer them and say

You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee
I’d like to sip the honey sweet
From those red lips, you see
I love you dearly, dearly
And I want you to love me
You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee

C'est Un Rocker
((Adapted from: I'm A Rocker (Chuck Berry) - 1970))
Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Eddy Mitchell
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1974



Tu sais, parfois, la vie me réserve des choses drôles
Les gens oublient, puis redécouvrent le Rock and Roll
Et si je chante l'amour ou bien n'importe quoi
Qu'importe le sujet, les gens disent de moi 
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller"
Pourtant, dans rocker, il y a aussi le mot cœur

Et la mode rétro avec ses "Ouap do ouap"
Vient twister dans ma tête et chanter près de moi 
"Tu es rocker, tu es roller"
L'avenir, le passé ne peuvent pas me changer

Les chanteurs décadents au "Ttt ttt" hésitant
Me regardant chanter, disent d'un air horrifié 
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller
Quelle brutalité dans ses pantalons serrés"

Si je bois dans un bar trois petits verres de trop
Qu'éclate une bagarre, les gens crient aussitôt 
"C'est ce rocker, c'est ce roller"
Si l'on ne vit pas comme eux, les bourgeois deviennent hargneux

Si je traverse la rue en négligeant le bras du flic près du feu
Les gens disent de moi 
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller
Il n'a aucun respect pour les gardiens de la paix"

Si je mange en gourmet dans un dîner de choix
Qu'importe ma tenue, les gens diront de moi 
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller
L'estomac d'un roller se limite aux cheeseburger"

Les faux intellectuels, journalistes étroits
S'emparent de ma musique pour écrire sur moi
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller
Dans le contexte actuel de l'évolution sexuelle"

Tous les faiseurs de fric, les escrocs promoteurs
Me font de grands sourires, je reste franc-tireur
Je suis un rocker, je suis un roller
Je chante ce que je veux à l'instant ou je le veux

{Rock, rock, rock and roller...}
