The Wheel Of Hurt Composer(s): Charlie Singleton - Eddie Snyder Performer(s): Al Martino
When the wheel of hurt comes wheeling round to you
Youre gonna know what it means to be lonely Youre gonna know what it means to be blue Youre gonna know how it feels to feel your heart breaking in two When the wheel of hurt comes wheeling round to you
Ill see you cryin bitter tears, one day baby (One day Baby) Ill hear you say youre sorry we are through (Sorry were through) But Ill be the first one to help you, cos you need someone thats true When the wheel of hurt comes wheeling round to you
Youre gonna learn the truth the hard way And when you do youll always know That its bad luck to hurt somebody When that somebody loves you so
It may be today, or it may be tomorrow (May be tomorrow) Youll have to pay when your payment is due (Payment is due) And maybe then youll realise how much pain you put me through When the wheel of hurt comes wheeling round to you When the wheel of hurt comes wheeling round to you

Holiday in paris Sunday afternoon Meeting a French girl Ev'ning walk by moon So we were dancing on the music And I was waiting for my chance I only didn't understand her When she said in French
Fell in love in Paris Didn't know what to do Walking with my girl Rendez-vous for two I was afraid to kiss my baby Didn't know what she'd say Drinking wine by evening In a small café
I ask her to kiss me Asked for something more She didn't understand me Like I didn't before

Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
The Wheel Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter - Bill Kreutzmann Performer(s): Grateful Dead
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down You can't let go and you can't hold on You can't go back and you can't stand still If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will
Won't you try just a little bit harder Couldn't you try just a little bit more? Won't you try just a little bit harder Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
Round, round robin run around Got to get back to where you belong Little bit harder, just a little bit more Little bit further than you gone before
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down You can't let go and you can't hold on You can't go back and you can't stand still If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will
Small wheel turn by the fire and rod Big wheel turnin' by the grace of God Every time that wheel turn 'round Bound to cover just a little more ground Bound to cover just a little more ground
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down You can't let go and you can't hold on You can't go back and you can't stand still If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will
Won't you try just a little bit harder Couldn't you try just a little bit more? Won't you try just a little bit harder Couldn't you try just a little bit more?

Vu comme ça, t'es blanc comme de la craie Tu es du genre qui ne marche pas au lait Pour toi l'amour n'est plus ce qu'il était Un jour faudra qu' tu me dises comment ça fait Oh oui un jour faudra qu' tu me dises comment ça fait

La vie c'est dur, t'en fait pas j' la connais On s'y fait bien, oui mais longtemps après J'aimais pas les coups mais j' les méritais Un jour faudra qu' je te dise comment ça fait Oh oui un jour faudra qu' je te dise comment ça fait
Un jour faudra qu' je te dise comment ça fait Un jour faudra qu' je te dise comment ça fait Oh oui un jour faudra qu' je te dise comment ça fait Un jour faudra qu' je te dise comment ça fait
Roll On Down The Highway Composer(s): Randy Bachman; Robin Peter Kendall; Charles Fred Turner Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive; BTO Spider; The Countdown Singers; The Donnas
We rented a truck and a semi to go Travel down the long and winding road Look on the map I think we've been here before Close the doors let's roll once more
Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight Drove so fast that my eyes can't see Look in the mirror is he still followin' me?
Let it roll down the highway Let it roll down the highway Roll, roll
Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place Come on boys, let's get ready to race 454 coming over the hill The man on patrol, is going to give us a bill
The time's real short, you know the distance is long I'd rather have a jet but it's not in the song Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck We gotta keep movie' if we're going to make a buck
If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be You'd be in the hospital or infirmary 'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy If you didn't have your feet in your wellies
Oh wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell 'Cause they keep out the water and they keep in the smell And when you're sitting in a room you can always tell When some bugger takes off his wellies

Rêve, Rêve mon amour mon rêve Dans la nuit entière resplendit Ta lumière
Chéri lorsque de toi je rêve un chant se lève Du ciel descend le cur des anges le monde change La vie devient une symphonie toute en lumière Douce et claire, douce et claire Et toi tu viens tout près, tout près de moi
Tout bas dans la nuit irréelle ta voix m'appelle Du ciel descend le cur des anges le monde change Ma vie devient une symphonie toute en lumière Magnifique, pathétique Qui prend tous les visages de l'amour
Ma vie sera cette symphonie toujours fidèle Eternelle, éternelle qui fait d'un rêve la réalité C'est toi, c'est toi, c'est toi
Roll Me Away Composer(s): Bob Seger Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Took a look down a westbound road
right away I made my choice Headed out to my big two wheeler I was tired of my own voice Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of Machinaw City, stopped in a bar to have a brew Met a girl and we had a few drinks and I told her what I'd decided to do She looked out the window a long long moment then she looked into my eyes She didn't have to say a thing I knew what she was thinkin'
Roll roll me away won't you roll me away tonight I too am lost I feel double crossed and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right We never even said a word we just walked out and got on that bike And we rolled And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains Deep into the mountains Felt so good to me Finally feelin' free Somewhere along a high road The air began to turn cold She said she missed her home I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top starin' out at the Great Divide I could go east I could go west it was all up to me to decide Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise And pretty soon My heart was singin'
Roll roll away I'm gonna roll me away tonight Gotta keep rollin' gotta keep ridin' keep searchin' till I find what's right And as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlight And I said next time Next time We'll get it right

Comme une sur, tête coupée, tête coupée Ell' ressemblait à sa poupée, à sa poupée Dans la rivière, elle est venue Tremper un peu son pied menu, son pied menu
Par une ruse à ma façon, à ma façon Je fais semblant d'être un poisson, d'être un poisson Je me déguise en cachalot Et je me couche au fond de l'eau, au fond de l'eau
J'ai le bonheur, grâce à ce biais, grâce à ce biais De lui croquer un bout de pied, un bout de pied Jamais requin n'a, j'en réponds Jamais rien goûté d'aussi bon, rien d'aussi bon
Ell' m'a puni de ce culot, de ce culot En me tenant le bec dans l'eau, le bec dans l'eau Et j'ai dû, pour l'apitoyer Faire mine de me noyer, de me noyer
Convaincu' de m'avoir occis, m'avoir occis La voilà qui se radoucit, se radoucit Et qui m'embrasse et qui me mord Pour me ressusciter des morts, citer des morts
Si c'est le sort qu'il faut subir, qu'il faut subir A l'heure du dernier soupir, dernier soupir Si, des noyés, tel est le lot Je retourne me fiche à l'eau, me fiche à l'eau
Chez ses parents, le lendemain, le lendemain J'ai couru demander sa main, d'mander sa main Mais comme je n'avais rien dans La mienne, on m'a crié: "Va-t'en!", crié: "Va-t'en!"
On l'a livrée aux appétits, aux appétits D'une espèce de mercanti, de mercanti Un vrai maroufle, un gros sac d'or Plus vieux qu'Hérode et que Nestor, et que Nestor
Et depuis leurs noces j'attends, noces j'attends Le cur sur des charbons ardents, charbons ardents Que la Faucheuse vienne couper l'herbe aux pieds de ce grigou, de ce grigou
Quand ell' sera veuve éploré', veuve éploré' Après l'avoir bien enterré, bien enterré J'ai l'espérance qu'elle viendra Faire sa niche entre mes bras, entre mes bras

Comme Une Ombre Sur Moi Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Eh oui, je sens comme une ombre sur moi Une mirage gris Qui m'enlève les joies Que nous donne la vie Pour me laisser seul dans la nuit
Quand arrivent les premiers samedi de chaque moi Je me sens mieux car c'est le jour de paie Je vais chez le patron prendre ce qu'il me doit Comme excuse, il me bégaye
Eh oui, je sens comme une ombre sur moi Un mirage gris Qui m'enlève les joies Que nous donne la vie Pour me laisser seul dans la nuit
Je gagne ma vie à la sueur de mon front Je travaille à longueur de journée Pourtant sans façon sur ma tête s'envient Cette ombre pour me troubler Alors si je n'avais pas le secours De tout mon amour Je n'sais pas vraiment ce que je deviendrais Sans sa main pour me guider
Eh oui, je sens comme une ombre sur moi Un mirage gris Qui m'enlève les joies Que nous donne la vie Pour me laisser seul dans la nuit
Comme une ombre je le vois Ce vieux mirage gris Où que j'aille il me poursuit Depuis mon premier jour Je l'ai toujours vu là Vraiment la chance n'est pas pour moi
Et un de ces jours quand je serai mort Alors il deviendra plus gris Il sera là pour juger de mon sort Et me chasser loin du paradis
Eh oui, je sens comme une ombre sur moi Un mirage gris Qui m'enlève les joies Que nous donne la vie Pour me laisser seul dans la nuit

Comme Une Maladie Italian Title: Come Una Malattia Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Comme une maladie Une fièvre inconnue Un jour s'est abbatue Sur ma vie Pour me troubler l'esprit Pour me crever le cur D'une sourde douleur Infinie Incurable Incurable Qui me fait peur Comme une maladie Comme un mal ignoré Une langueur teintée De folie S'est glissée sous ma peau M'a ôté malgré moi L'usage de mes joies Et des mots Que j'avais employés, Sans qu'ils aient effleuré Ma pensée
J'ai perdu mes forces et mes rires Vu pâlir l'éclat de mes yeux Rongé par ce mystérieux Mal qui me déchire Comme une maladie Qui minerait mon corps Qu'aucune science encor' Ne guérit M'agite et m'envahit M'enfièvre jour et nuit Me laisse sans espoir, sans secours Car je suis Incurable Incurable De ton amour

Comme Une Madone Oubliée Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Tous les soirs, la même fille attend Sur le même square, le même banc Comme une madone oubliée, les jambes croisées Elle voyage au milieu des maisons Dans la nuit bleue des télévisions Comme les fantômes légers, les voiles de fumée On dit qu'elle a des chambres en ville On dit qu'elle dort sur le côté Qu'elle est plutôt d'humeur facile Qu'on ne la dérange jamais Qu'il y a des tas de chats qui dorment En travers sur ses oreillers Au milieu du parfum des hommes Et même si tout ça c'était vrai Au milieu des feuilles et des brindilles Elle fait son show sur talons aiguilles Elle joue son cinéma muet Elle tend ses filets Et sur les allées du square s'imprime Le pas de ses futures victimes Qui viendront s'incendier le cur Aux étranges lueurs On dit qu'elle est l'amie fidèle De ceux qui n'osent pas parler Qu'elle connaît le chant des sirènes Qu'elle peut aussi le murmurer Qu'il y a des tas de gens qui l'aiment Et qui ne lui sourient jamais Que ce ne sont jamais les mêmes Et même si tout ça c'était vrai Quels que soient les murs qui te protègent Un soir tu te prendras à son piège Le soir où tu seras devenu Une ombre de plus Car tous les soirs, la même fille attend Sur le même square et sur le même banc Comme une madone oubliée Les jambes croisées
