They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me Composer(s): Fred Fisher - Joseph McCarthy
They go wild, simply wild over me They go mad, just as mad as they can be No matter where I'm at All the ladies thin or fat The tall ones, the small ones I grab 'em off like that
Ev'ry night how they fight over me I don't know what it is that they can see The ladies look at me and sigh In my arms they want to die They go wild, simply wild over me They go wild, simply wild over me
Count Me Out Composer(s): Jack Pruett Performer(s): Marty Robbins
Takin' me for granted was your first mistake And that was the beginnin' of a last heartache And then you added insult to my injury When you started treatin' me just as you please
Count me out of future plans you might be makin' No more foolish chances am I takin' You played love's game too rough As for me, I've had enough 'Cause the goin's got too rough, so count me out
Things I thought important never bothered you You kept on till you killed all my love for you Doin' as you pleased became a part of you You can't blame me now for walkin' out on you
Count me out of future plans you might be makin' No more foolish chances am I takin' You played love's game too rough As for me, I've had enough 'Cause the goin's got too rough, so count me out
J'Ai Craqué Composer(s): Alain Goraguer; Claude Lemesle Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Entre les fauteuils du 15, rue de Bretagne Et les rocking-chairs de la maison de campagne On balançait Notre vie douillette, sans surprise et sans un Pain quotidien de nos dix ans de bonheur Au bonheur près j'étais bien protégé Dans le film à tiroir de ma vie bien rangée Avec les samedi soir pour changer Pour changer de quoi toi et moi Moi et toi, femme et mère à la fois
J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué
J'attendais ta fête pour t'apporter des fleurs Je ne chantais plus, j'avais des pantoufles au cur Je m'endormais Tu savais quand je disais: "Devine où on part?" Tu riais avant que j'ai fini mes histoires Et même après tu m'avais tellement dit Que je n'étais qu'un gosse, un gamin Étourdi, que je m'imaginais tout petit Et puis d'un seul coup j'ai grandi Et j'ai coupé le fil du passé
J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué
Je ne sais pas où mais je m'en vais droit devant Meme si l'allumette n'a craqué que le temps D'une étincelle Je m'en contrefous si ça permet de rêver De faire un détour loin des chemins programmés Toujours pareils et le vent de folie Qui fait tourner si fort le moulin de ma vie Qu'importe s'il s'arrête aujourd'hui Puisque celle qui lui a dit de souffler Reste et me donne envie de craquer
They Fell ((French Version: Ils Sont Tombés (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
They fell that year They vanished from the Earth Never knowing the code Or what law they'd offended The women fell at work And the babies they tended Left to die, left to cry All condemned by their birth
They fell like rain Across the thirsty land In their hearts they were clean In their dust still believing All the obedient things In a season of grieving Caught in rain, always rain Just for one helping hand
For no one heard their prayers In a world bent on pleasure From other people scared They simply closed their eyes They craved a lot of sound In jazz and ragtime measured The trumpets screamed till dawn To drown the childrens' cries
They fell like leaves Its people in its pride People, men, kindly men And not one knew his crime If he came in an hour Like a small desert flower Still covered by the silent wind In sands of time
They fell that year Before they could grow They had little to give But their lives and their passion And their longing to live In their way, in their fashion So their harvest could thrive And their children could grow
They fell like flies Their eyes still full of sun Like a dog each flies In the path of a rifle That holds on with its might And each death, though a trifle And to bring to an end A life barely begun
And I am of that Race Who died in unknown places Who perished in their pride Whose blood in rivers ran In agony and pride With courage on their faces They went into the night That waits for every man
They fell like tears And never knew what for In that summer of pride Of massacre and war Their only crime was life They only give towards being The children of Armenia Nothing less, nothing more
Count Me Out Composer(s): Gary Brooker; I. Sutherland Performer(s): Gary Brooker
When it's time for me to go and I hear that whistle blow I'll be waiting in line day or night Take my hand and lead me down Lay my burden on the ground Break these chains and let me stand in the light Now I know what the game's all about If that's the way you want to play - count me out
Had enough of alibis, empty promises and lies Trying to find a better life on my own There's no easy way I know - now the strains begin to show Still I'm looking for a light to lead me home Though my heart's still full of doubt There's no way I'm gonna play - so count me out
I've been too long here breaking my back Doing my best to get through I never thought I could feel this way But I need to find something new It's not the money and it's not the gold I just want some peace of mind My life is racing like a runaway train Getting faster all the time...
Underneath a golden sky Far away I'm gonna fly To a place I know is there in my mind Like a sailor home to die With no journey left to try Throw my spirit in the tide and lead me blind Now I know what this game's all about If that's the way you wanna play Then count me out
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Carole Bayer Sager Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
They don't make them like they used to
They dont make em like they used to, those guys And I cant get used to the way that it is today No one to look up to, hard times, and though I try I just cant find the reason these days And it seems like the seasons are passing me Theyre going by, nothing to hold on to, rough times
And it goes on, so count on me, and Ill count on you You can lean on me, two of us stronger We wont be alone any longer Now and for always we will be good friends Count on me, into any storm, were gonna survive it Into any fire, well carry on
Know that one day you and me will both be old friends And well sit on the sofa and talk about how They dont make em like they used to, youll see As time goes on, so count on me, and Ill count on you In a world like this, when nothings sure And people are afraid, Ill be here for... Now and for always we will be good friends Count on me, they dont make it now like they used to Theyre not gonna last like you and me, Ill be there
Oh, always we will be, year by year Depend on me, into any storm, were gonna survive it Into any fire, just count on me, Ill be there Oh, tough guys, you and me, year by year They will see, they dont make it now like they used to Theyre not gonna last like you and me...

J'Ai Besoin D'un Amour Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday

Ouais, moi j'ai besoin de ta présence Pour embellir mon existence Moi j'ai besoin de ta tendresse De tes baisers, de tes caresses Moi j'ai besoin que tu m'enlaces Pour mieux te sentir tout à moi Moi j'ai besoin que tu m'embrasses Moi j'ai toujours besoin de toi

Ouais, moi j'ai besoin de ta présence Pour embellir mon existence Moi j'ai besoin de ta tendresse De tes baisers, de tes caresses Moi j'ai besoin que tu m'enlaces Pour mieux te sentir tout à moi Moi j'ai besoin que tu m'embrasses Moi j'ai toujours besoin de toi

They Don't Know Composer(s): Kirsty MacColl First release by: Kirsty MacColl - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
You've been around for such a long time now Oh baby, I could leave you but I don't know how And why should I be lonely every night When I could be with you oh yes you, make it right And I don't Listen to the guys who say That you're bad for me and I should turn you away
Cuz they don't know about us, They've never heard of love
I get a feeling when I look at you Wherever you go now I wanna be there too They say we're crazy, but I just don't care And if they keep on talking still they get no where
So I don't Mind if they don't understand When I look at you when you hold my hand
Cuz they don't know about us, and they've never heard of love Why should it matter to us if they don't approve We should just take our chances while we've got nothing to lose
Baby There's no need for living in the past Now i've found good lovin' gonna make it last I tell the others don't bother me cuz when they look at you they don't see what i see
No I don't listen to their wasted lines got my eyes wide open and i see the signs Cuz they don't know about us They've never heard of love No I don't listen to their wasted lines got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
Cuz they don't know about us They've never heard of love
Enfin Réunis ((Adapted from: Count Me In (Gary Lewis & The Playboys) - 1965)) Composer(s): Glen D. Hardin - Jacques Plante - Claude Carrère Performer(s): Sheila - 1965
Nous avons été séparés Pendant bien longtemps Sans jamais cesser d'espérer À tous les instants
On a connu des mauvais jours Mais on les oublie Car nous voici enfin réunis
On a vécu le cur serré Pendant de longs mois Bien souvent, tu sais, j'ai pleuré D'être loin de toi
Mais il ne faut plus y penser Tout est bien fini Car nous voici enfin réunis
Je savais bien qu'un jour tu reviendrais Et que nos chagrins alors s'effaceraient
Quelle joie de se retrouver Après tout ce temps Je crois bien que l'on va s'aimer Encore plus qu'avant
Nous avons tous deux des projets Pour toute une vie Car nous voici enfin réunis
Je savais bien qu'un jour tu reviendrais Et que nos chagrins alors s'effaceraient
Notre amour n'a jamais changé Mais à l'avenir Nous allons tous deux nous jurer De ne plus partir
Ce bonheur que l'on attendait Commence aujourd'hui Car nous voici enfin réunis Car nous voici enfin réunis Car nous voici enfin réunis
They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Walkin' down new streets the music is loud Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds But I'm just an old man, I'd prob'ly get sore 'Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more
She and old Cougie, my what a pair Doin' the Rhumba like no one else dared Slidin' and glidin' 'cross Hollywood floors But they don't dance like Carmen no more
She had a big hat, my it was high Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky And how she could balance it I wouldn't dare... 'Cause they don't dance like Carmen no where
But the lady's not with us, she died long ago And they don't play her movies on late midnight shows 'Cause the kids would get restless, and the grown-ups would snore... 'Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more... no more No they don't dance like Carmen no more
She and old Cougie, my what a pair Doin' the Rhumba like no one else dared Slidin' and glidin' 'cross hardwood waxed floors But they don't dance like Carmen no more... no more... No they don't dance like Carmen no more
Tanguer Comme un bateau qui coule sur une mer déchaînée Chanter Retrouver le mystère de mes secrets cachés Je n'y suis pour personne Quand je suis dans vos bras Que la musique nous donne La vie encore une fois
Et j'ai besoin de vous Quand la vie m'abandonne Quand les soirs monotones Me font douter de tout Et j'ai besoin de vous C'est à vous que je donne Seuls les sages et les fous N'ont besoin de personne J'ai besoin de vous
Et j'ai besoin de vous Comme d'une passion cachée Comme des mots qui nous donnent Des raisons d'exister Et j'ai besoin de vous Comme d'un amour secret Qui me demande tout Et qui me reconnaît Comme j'ai besoin de vous
Et j'ai besoin de vous Quand mon âme m'abandonne Quand les tambours résonnent Et tournent autour de nous Et j'ai besoin de vous C'est à vous que je donne Seuls les sages et les fous N'ont besoin de personne Moi j'ai besoin de vous

J'Ai Besoin De Ton Amour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Aime-moi comme je t'aime Sans détour et sans problème Du plus profond de moi-même J'ai besoin de ton amour Aime-moi comme on respire Avec des mots simples à dire Pour le meilleur et pour le pire J'ai besoin de ton amour Donne-moi la force immense De croire en des jours de chance Et de peindre d'espérance Les lendemains de ma vie Pour chasser de moi l'angoisse Oublier le temps qui passe Laissant de terribles traces Dans les coeurs inassouvis
Aime-moi pour que je fonde Sur nos joies les plus profondes Le plus grand bonheur du monde J'ai besoin de ton amour Aime-moi que je m'enivre D'une joie qui me délivre De la peur que j'ai de vivre J'ai besoin de ton amour J'ai besoin de ta tendresse De tes mots de tes caresses Pour dissiper la détresse Qui m'oppresse nuit et jour Besoin que tu me consoles Quand je pleure et me désole Que ma tête devient folle J'ai besoin de ton amour
They Didn't Believe Me Composer(s): Herbert Reynolds - Jerome Kern First performance by: Julia Sanderson and Donald Brian - 1914 Covered by multiple other artists
(he) Got the cutest little way Like to watch you all the day And it certainly seems fine Just to think that you'll be mine When I see your pretty smile Makes the living worth the while So I've got to run around Telling people what I've found
Refrain
(Boy) And when I told them how beautiful you are They didn't believe me They didn't believe me! Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair Are in a class beyond compare You're the loviest girl that one could see! And when I tell them And I cert'nly am goin' to tell them That I'm the man whose wife one day you'll be They'll never believe me They'll never believe me That from this great big world you've chosen me!
(she) Don't know how it happened quite May have been the summer night May have been, well, who can say Things just happen any way All I know is I said "yes!" Hesitating more or less And you kissed me where I stood Just like any fellow would
Refrain
(Girl) And when I told them how wonderful you are They didn't believe me They didn't believe me! Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair Are in a class beyond compare You're the lovliest thing that one could see! And when I tell them And I cert'nly am goin' to tell them That I'm the girl whose boy one day you'll be They'll never believe me They'll never believe me That from this great big world you've chosen me!
Couleurs Vous Êtes Des Larmes Composer(s): Guy Béart Performer(s): Guy Béart
Dors mon enfant c'est déjà l'heure Ça ne sert à rien que tu pleures Dans tes yeux couleur d'arc-en-ciel Il y a des larmes de sel Couleurs vous êtes des larmes Couleurs vous êtes des pleurs
Elle est en couleur mon histoire Il était blanc elle était noire La foule est grise grise alors Il y aura peut-être un mort Couleurs vous êtes des larmes Couleurs vous êtes des pleurs
Il lui a donné des cerises Et noire sa main les a prises Et rouge sa bouche a mordu Il y a demain un pendu Couleurs vous êtes des larmes Couleurs vous êtes des pleurs
Voici des fleurs toutes bien faites De la rose à la violette Le bouquet qu'il lui a offert Etait bleu rouge jaune et vert Couleurs vous êtes des larmes Couleurs vous êtes des pleurs
Ils ont couru jusqu'au rivage Ils riaient de tout leur visage Ils se sont baignés dans la mer Il y aura des revolvers
La mer est bleue pour tout le monde Pour les peaux brunes et les peaux blondes Quand l'homme s'y baigne en passant Il y a des gouttes de sang Couleurs vous êtes des larmes Couleurs vous êtes des pleurs
Ce sang qui coule jusqu'à terre Mon enfant ferme tes paupières Pourvu que tu ne saches rien Ce sang qui coule c'est le tien Couleurs vous êtes des larmes Couleurs vous êtes des pleurs
Les larmes sont partout pareilles Sèche tes yeux qui s'ensommeillent Dors mon enfant ne pleure pas Tu ne sais pas encore pourquoi Couleurs vous êtes des larmes Couleurs vous êtes des pleurs
