The Wild Colonial Boy ((aka Jack's Heroes (The Pogues & The Dubliners) - 1990)) ((Danish Version: Familiens Sorte Får (Gustav Winckler) - 1953)) (Traditional - 1881) Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Maken - 1962 and multiple other artists
There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name He was born and raised in Ireland, in a place called Castlemaine He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy And dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy
At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home And to Australia's sunny shore, he was inclined to roam He robbed the rich, he helped the poor, he shot James MacEvoy A terror to Australia was, the wild colonial boy
One morning on the prairie, as Jack he rode along A-listening to the mocking bird, a-singing a cheerful song Up stepped a band of troopers: Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy They all set out to capture him, the wild colonial boy
Surrender now, Jack Duggan, for you see we're three to one Surrender in the King's high name, you are a plundering son Jack drew two pistols from his belt, he proudly waved them high I'll fight, but not surrender, said the wild colonial boy
He fired a shot at Kelly, which brought him to the ground And turning round to Davis, he recieved a fatal wound A bullet pierced his proud young heart, from the pistol of Fitzroy And that was how they captured him, the wild colonial boy
Le monde est là qui vient qui va Et qui tourne sans toi Mais tu sais il n'attendra pas Un signe de toi Donner c'est mieux que recevoir Essaie un peu pour voir Pour mieux supporter les heures du soir Les heures de cafard De désespoir
Comment, comment t'en apercevoir Si tu restes toute seule dans le noir Comment, comment t'en apercevoir Si tu restes toute seule devant ton miroir
Quand tu vois tous ces gens passer Sans les regarder Sans même un jour avoir l'idée D'aller leur parler Tu sens le froid de l'hiver passer Et tu restes enfermée Tu voudrais rire ou bien danser Et ne plus penser Quand dehors c'est l'été
Comment, comment t'en apercevoir Si tu restes toute seule dans le noir Comment, comment t'en apercevoir Si tu restes toute seule devant ton miroir
Roma Capoccia Composer(s): Antonello Venditti Performer(s): Antonello Venditti; Claudio Villa
Quanto sei bella Roma quand'e' sera quando la luna se specchia dentro ar fontanone e le coppiette se ne vanno via quanto sei bella Roma quando piove
Quanto sei bella Roma quand'e' er tramonto quando l'arancio rosseggia ancora sui sette colli e le finestre so' tanti occhi che te sembrano dì: quanto sei bella
Oggi me sembra che er tempo se sia fermato qui vedo la maestà der Colosseo vedo la santità der cupolone e so' piu' vivo e so' più bbono no nun te lasso mai Roma capoccia der mondo infame na carrozzella va co du stranieri un robivecchi te chiede un po'de stracci li passeracci so'usignoli io ce so'nato Roma io t'ho scoperta stamattina
Jack's Heroes (Adapted from: The Wild Colonial Boy - 1881) ((Danish Version: Familiens Sorte Får (Gustav Winckler) - 1953)) (Traditional) Performer(s): The Pogues & The Dubliners - 1990
They wear green And they are beautiful And their hearts are filled with love They're as pure as any lily And as gentle as the dove They'll sing and cheer in harmony Till their throats are cracked & sore But there is no doubt You'll hear them shout When Jackie's heroes score Too-ra-loo Too-ra-loo And we'll follow Jack's heroes Whatever they do They'll come from Dublin And from Cork, from dear old Donegal From London, Boston, & New York From anywhere at all From Parramatta to Fermoy Strabane to Skibereen (And will) the shout go up When the World Cup Is raised on Stephens Green (Yes it will) And when we're there in Italy On Sardinia's sunny shore We'll be the boys you'll want to see The boys you'll all adore We'll play like perfect gentlemen To win, to lose, to draw For we're here to take the World Cup To Paddy's shamrock shore

Sous aucun pretexte Je ne veux Avoir de reflexes Malheureux Il faut que tu m'expliques Un peu mieux Comment te dire adieu
Mon coeur de silex Vite prend feu Ton coeur de pyrex Resiste au feu Je suis bien perplexe Je ne veux Me resoudre aux adieus
Je sais bien qu'un ex amour n'a pas de chance, ou si peu Mais pour moi un explication voudrait mieux
Sous aucun pretexte Je ne veux Devant toi surexposer mes yeux Derrière un kleenex Je saurais mieux Comment te dire adieu Comment te dire adieu
Tu as mis a l'index nos nuits blanches, nos matins gris-bleu Mais pour moi un explication voudrait mieux
Sous aucun pretexte Je ne veux Devant toi surexposer mes yeux Derrière un kleenex Je saurais mieux Comment te dire adieu Comment te dire adieu Comment te dire adieu
Wild Boys Composer(s): Simon LeBon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor - John Taylor - Roger Taylor First release by: Duran Duran - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
The wild boys are calling On their way back from the fire An august moon's surrender to A dust cloud on the rise Wild boys fallen far from glory Reckless and so hungered On the razors edge you trail Because there's murder by the roadside In a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us, Looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it Wild boys never chose this way Wild boys never close your eyes Wild boys always shine
You got sirens for a welcome There's bloodstain for your pain And your telephone been ringing while You're dancing in the rain Wild boys wonder where is glory Where is all you angels Now the figureheads have fell And lovers war with arrows over Secrets they could tell
They tried to tame you Looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it Wild boys never chose this way Wild boys never close your eyes Wild boys always shine

Det är alltid svårt att ta farväl Men det finns ett måste likaväl Om du kunde stanna här ändå Så synd du måste gå Sommarnatten är så ljuv men kort Redan drar den sista skuggan bort Redan färgas sommarhimlen blå Så synd du måste gå
Se solen igen Och jag önskar att vi fick gå I solen, min vän Hela livet vi två
Det lär vara ljuvt, ja underbart Sällan mötas och att skiljas snart Jag vill ha dej kvar hos mej ändå Så synd du måste gå Så synd du måste gå
Se solen igen Och jag önskar att vi fick gå I solen, min vän Hela livet vi två
Det lär vara ljuvt, ja underbart Sällan mötas och att skiljas snart Jag vill ha dej kvar hos mej ändå Så synd du måste gå Så synd du måste gå Så synd du måste gå

The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
Do you remember the night I held you so tight As we danced to the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz? The music was gay, and the setting was Viennese Your hair wore some roses, or perhaps they were peonies I was blind to your obvious faults As we danced 'cross the scene to the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz!
Oh I drank some champagne from your shoe, la-la-la I was drunk by the time I got through, la-la-la For I didn't know, as I raised that cup It had taken two bottles to fill the thing up...
It was I who stepped on your dress, la-la-la The skirts all came off I confess, la-la-la Revealing for all of the others to see Just what it was that endeared you to me...
I remember the night I held you so tight As we danced to the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz Your lips were like wine, if you'll pardon the Simile The music was lovely and quite Rudolf Frim'ly I drank wine, you drank chocolate malts And we both turned quite green to the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz!

This is the hour of parting, soon I must sail away Now while the teardrops are starting just one more time let me say
Take me in your arms and hold me tight tell me that your love is mine tonight Say that everything will turn out right It hurts to say goodbye
Let me know the thrill of your embrace memories that time cannot erase While I kiss the teardrops from your face it hurts to say goodbye
Wherever you are you will always be near to me Wherever I go you'll be in my heart
'Til the sun comes shining thru again 'til we see a sky of blue again 'Til I'm back with you, my love, 'til then it hurts to say goodbye
Wherever you are you will always be near to me Wherever I go you'll be in my heart
'Til the sun comes shining thru again 'til we see a sky of blue again 'Til I'm back with you, my love, 'til then it hurts to say goodbye 'Til I'm back with you, my love it hurts to say goodbye

The Widow Of Westmorland's Daughter (Traditional) Performer(s): Fairport Convention and multiple other artists
There was an old widow in Westmorland who had no daughter but one And she has prayed both night and day she should keep her maidenhead long "Ah, don't be daft, mother," she said, "and say no more to me For a fine young man in the Grenadier Guards my maidenhead's taken from me" "You saucy cat, you impudent cat, a-cursed may you be If some idle rogue in the Grenadier Guards your maidenhead's taken from thee" But the girlie's off to the Grenadier Guards as fast as go can she Saying "Give me back my maidenhead, my mother she nags at me" So he kissed her and undressed her and he laid her on the bed And he put her head where her feet were before and gave back her maidenhead Then he kissed her and he dressed her with a rose in either hand Invited her round to St. Mary's church to see his fine wedding Oh, the girlie's off to her mammy's house as fast as go can she "I'm as full a maiden, mammy dear, as the day you first bore me He kissed me and undressed me and he laid me on the bed Put my head where my feet were before and he gave back my maidenhead Then he kissed me and he dressed me, put a rose in either hand and Invited me round to St. Mary's church to see his fine wedding "Ah, never on foot," her mammy she said, "in a carriage and pair you'll ride With four and twenty fine young girls to go with you beside" "Ah, who is this?" the bride she said, "She comes so high to me" "I see it is the widow's daughter who ran home and told her mammy" "How could she do it, how would she do it, how could she do it for shame? Eleven long nights I lay with a man and I never told anyone" "If eleven long nights you lay with a man, you never shall lie with me I'd rather marry the widow's daughter who ran home and told her mammy"
Comment Te Dire? Composer(s): Pace; Thomas; Rivat; Panzeri; Livraghi Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Quand s'en va le dernier soleil d'automne Il vient chauffer encore les feuilles mortes Sur les derniers colchiques il s'abandonne Avant que les froids de Novembre ne l'emporte Toi, si tu veux comprendre la tendresse Donne-toi comme lui, donne-toi
Mais comment te dire Mais comment t'apprendre L'amour sans amour n'est plus rien Laisse-toi conduire Et cherche à comprendre Et reviens me tendre la main {2x}
Vas regarder comment la terre aride S'ouvre pour embrasser les grandes pluies d'été Et quand tu l'auras vu, tu seras riche Alors tu reviendras me chercher
Mais comment te dire Mais comment t'apprendre L'amour sans amour n'est plus rien Laisse-toi conduire Et cherche à comprendre Et reviens me tendre la main {3x}

Comment T'appelles-Tu? Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Elle écrase sa cigarette Et recouche sa poupée, n'a plus peur De ces quelques mots d'amour Qui me venaient du fond du coeur Et la fumée monte en moi comme un petit matin Où le soleil reviendrait Nous parler d'éternité
Elle caresse les fleurs Amoureuse de la vie, elle s'en va Apprivoiser les renards Qui dorment seuls dans les sous-bois Et son parfum monte en moi comme un vieux souvenir Qui s'accroche à la mémoire Et empêche de vieillir
Mais comment t'appelles-tu Je ne me rappelle plus Entre la tendresse et la mort
Je perds le nord N'avais-tu pas disparu? Je ne t'avais pas revue Je n'avais que mes remords Pour vivre encore
Elle me recueille des yeux Là tout au creux de sa main Et je pars, me poser sur son visage La mort est douce au fond des pleurs Et j'irais lui chercher la lune Pour veiller son sommeil Et je crois bien que je l'aime Que c'est bon la vérité
Mais comment t'appelles-tu Je ne me rappelle plus Entre la tendresse et la mort Je perds le nord N'avais-tu pas disparu? Je ne t'avais pas revue Je n'avais que mes remords Pour vivre encore
Elle écrase sa cigarette Ne se souvient plus très bien qu'il pleuvait Me caresse le visage, Me dit j'ai peur quand tu t'en vas Puis elle parle au soleil, et c'est le sable chaud Et je crois bien que je l'aime Mais à quoi servent les mots?
Dis comment t'appelles-tu Je ne me rappelle plus Entre la tendresse et la mort Je perds le nord Ne disparais jamais plus Je crois t'avoir reconnue Et puis je crois que tu m'aimes Et moi, je n'aimerai plus
Rollin' Round The World Composer(s): Saunders; Scott Performer(s): The Square Pegs; Billy Cotton
Rolling round the world Looking for the sunshine That never seems to come my way Rolling round the world Where every little milestone Seems to look at me and say Bye bye, rainy days, bye bye snow, Got no time to waste, I must go Rolling round the world Looking for the sunshine I know Im gonna find someday
Rolling round the world Looking for the sunshine That never seems to come my way Rolling round the world Where every little milestone Seems to look at me and say Bye bye, rainy days, bye bye snow, Got no time to waste, I must go Rolling round the world Looking for the sunshine I know Im gonna find someday

The White Trash Song Composer(s): Steve Young Performer(s): Steve Young; Tom Russell Band
I wake up every morning About the break of dawn Hear the rooster crowing Feel all alone There's honeysuckle outside my window Dew sparkling on the vine... Little squirrels barking Like they thought they was a mountain lion... I get to thinking about the road And all the times I come back again I was born a child to these muddy roads Die here lonesome as the wind... Cause all cars they're broke down Laying in my front yard I ought to get one together But the work just seems so hard But a man come by this morning He wanted to paint my barn He painted "See Rock City - US Highway 41"
I used to have a church woman Pretty as she could be But she run off with old Jimmy Swaggart (or: a TV preacher) Up in Nashville, Tn So I drink a lot of liquor I drink a lot of booze I'm a midnight country rambler I ain't got nothing to lose
So when you carve my tombstone honey Don't worry about no name Just say he come with a Georgia wind And left with the (or: a) morning rain But he could play a fiddle Make a dobro ring Make a guitar sparkle Like that early morning rain Yeah, a man came by here today He wanted to paint my barn He painted "See rock City - Us Highway 41"

Je m'en veux et je vous l'avoue comment ne pas être amoureux de vous
J'étais sage et me voilà fou comment ne pas être amoureux de vous
Vous êtes la cause de mes insomnies faîtes quelque chose c'est moi, qui vous supplie
Malgré moi je me sens jaloux et malheureux d'être amoureux de vous
Ne vous moquez pas sauvez-moi de vous et délivre-moi je suis à vos genoux
Parlez-moi dites-moi surtout comment ne pas être amoureux de vous Comment ne plus être amoureux de vous...
