This Is Your Life Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): The 5th Dimension and multiple other artists
This is your life you're living And it's the only one you've got It's your life you're giving Don't you think it's time you asked yourself for what?
This is your life, not a game that you play It's your life and you're throwing it away You're a runaround The worst one in our end of town And everyone knows that I still love you so
That precious wine you're tasting will be bitter when you're done It's your life you're wasting Don't you think it's sad you had to start so young?
This is your life, not a merry-go-round It's your life, boy, and you can't live it down You're a runaround The worst one in our end of town Yes, everyone knows that I still love you so
This is your life Not just something to do This is your life And it's my life, too
This is your life I know it's your life I'm saying, don't throw it away This is your life but it's my life too This is your life They say you're a runaround I know it's your life but it's my life too
Crazy Love Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
Crazy love it's just a crazy love I love you so but I still know It's a crazy love
Crazy love it's just a crazy love What must I do to get through to you Oh my crazy love
Everything's wrong heaven above Set me free from this crazy love
Don't don't don't don't you see What you are doing to me You upset my heart right from the start With your crazy love Crazy love, crazy love Crazy love, crazy love
Jamaica Farewell Composer(s): Lord Burgess Performer(s): Harry Belafonte; and various other artists
Down the bay where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear `Akey' rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of year
Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls sway to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
This Is Where I Came In Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Robin Gibb - Maurice Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
I've seen this story I read it over once or twice I said like you say A little bit of bad advice I've been in trouble Happened to me all my life I lie and you lie And who will get the sharpest knife You should meet somebody like that Not the kind of man to throw his hat into the ring and Go down without following through The day turns into night Go down, following through, the day turns into night
Whoa This is just where I came in
All mine to own But I'll go anywhere Yes, I'll go anywhere with you Time has gone But I'll go anywhere Yes, I'll go anywhere with you
This is the danger zone This is where I came in They don't know what they do Forgive them of their sins (They know) They cannot take away What you have given me
Whoa This is just where I came in
Fade into color And color into black and white Under the bed clothes Everything will be alright I know that you know Nothing ever stays the same Said so, I said so A lover never speak it's name
I'm gonna find somebody like you Maybe with a brain and a body too You could never make a move on a woman that leads me on She got a little bit of something for everyone It's a little too late And the bluff is on the run
All mine to own But I'll go anywhere Yes, I'll go anywhere with you Time has gone But I'll go anywhere Yes, I'll go anywhere with you
I always told myself I would regret this day That I would fall apart And watch you walk away (To cry) As you would cry out loud And I would stand aside

We zetten koers naar 'n ver vreemd land Waar de gouden zon boven de bergen staat Ik zie wel veel, maar mijn hart doet pijn Als ik Jamaica voor een tijd verlaat ..!
Ik ben zo alleen, zo heel alleen Want ik mis iets moois om me heen Mijn hart dat huilt, ik voel mij somber en down Ik liet mijn meisje achter ginds, in Kingston-town
In elke havenstad lopen weer Mooie meisjes met hun koopwaar op en neer Het zijn bananen 't is vis en rijst Maar ook de rum smaakt dikwijls nog naar meer
Er is plezier op de vaste wal Want de meisjes dansen er tot middernacht Al is Jamaica ook nog zo ver Ik heb alleen nog maar aan jou gedacht
Morning Reg, meat and two veg? He done him with a ten-pound sledge, he done himself a favour Crash!
Forty-year old housewife Mrs Elizabeth Walk of Lambeth Walk Had a husband who was jubblified with only half a stalk So she had a Milk of Magnesia and curry powder sandwich, half a pound of uncut pork Took an overdose of Omo, this made the neighbours talk
Could have been watching Frankie Vaughn on the telly and giving herself a scratch
This is what we find This is what we find This is what we find This is what we find A sense of humour is required, amongst the bacon rind
Hello Brian, wash and iron? Try it on, it's only nylon
Single batchelor with little dog Tony Green of Turnham Green Said 'who's a clever boy then girl, now you know whom I mean' For the mongrel laid a cable in the sandpit of the playground of the park where they had been And with a bit of tissue, he wiped its bumhole clean
A bit of claggy on the waggy
This is what we find This is what we find This is what we find This is what we find They must have had a funny time, on the Golden Hind
O vanitas vanitatum, which of us is happy in his life Which of us has our desire, or having it, is gratified
Hello Mrs Wood, this boy looks familiar, they used to call him Robin Hood. Now he's Robin fucking shit cunt
Home improvement expert Harold Hill of Harold Hill Of Do-It-Yourself dexterity, and double glazing skill Came home to find another gentleman's kippers in the grill So he sanded off his winkle with his Black and Decker drill
This is what we find This is what we find This is what we find This is what we find The hope that springs eternal, springs right up your behind! This is what we find (repeat)...

Jaloux De Tout Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc; Chris Padovan Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Ce soir je viens me glisser dans tes rêves Dans cette mer que le désir soulève Laisse moi faire de toi mon trésor Comme Arpagon à genoux sur son or
Tes paupières de fièvre Sont à moi, sont à moi Tes frayeurs, tes rêves Sont à moi, sont à moi, sont à moi
Jaloux Oui jaloux Jaloux et jaloux de tout
Quand tu t'en vas seule vers d'autres affaires Je sais toujours où tu es sur la terre Je gagne toujours au jeu d'colin maillard Les yeux bandés méme quand il fait noir Tes hanches qui m'enchaînent Sont à moi, sont à moi Tes yeux en colère Sont à moi, sont à moi, sont à moi
Jaloux Oui jaloux Jaloux et jaloux de tout
Ne venez pas traîner sur mes falaises Où mon amour se promène à son aise Même si ce n'est que pour nous regarder Un accident est si vite arrivé
Tes jours dans la lumière Sont à moi, sont à moi Tes nuits, leurs mystères Sont à moi, sont à moi, sont à moi
Jaloux Oui jaloux Jaloux et jaloux de tout Jaloux et jaloux de tout

Versions In Other Languages: 1977 - Nede På Hjørnet (Rock Nalle & The Flames) 1982 - Katupoikien Laulu (Kari Peitsamo Revival)
Quand on voit ton père, on ne l'oublie plus Il y a au cimetière des gens qui l'ont bien connu Mais que peut-il faire contre notre amour? Me chasser, me faire la guerre, mais je sais bien qu'un jour
J'aurai sa fille, j'aurai ses chevaux J'aurai sa fille mais il n'aura pas ma peau
Ton père a une pierre à la place du cur Malgré ses colères, moi, il ne me fait pas peur Et dans la cuisine, même s'il dort Près de sa vieille carabine, même s'il est le plus fort
J'aurai sa fille, j'aurai ses chevaux J'aurai sa fille mais il n'aura pas ma peau J'aurai sa fille, j'aurai ses chevaux J'aurai sa fille mais il n'aura pas ma peau
Dans un chemin sombre pourtant, l'autre soir Surgissant de l'ombre, il a bien failli m'avoir Alors, à toutes jambes, j'ai couru vers toi Tu m'as caché dans ta chambre, mais cette nuit-là
J'ai eu sa fille en premier cadeau J'ai eu sa fille, un jour, il aura ma peau J'ai eu sa fille en premier cadeau J'ai eu sa fille, un jour, il aura ma peau
Crazy Life Composer(s): Gino Vannelli Performer(s): Gino Vannelli; The Eddie Metz Jr. Trio
It's a crazy life a hazy life A mixed up jumbled phasy life A crazy life for people who want to smile I just don't understand Why so hard to say hello before goodbye
It's a coocoo life a lulu life A moody magic voodoo life A coocoo life for people who want to love I just don't understand why so green That it's been hang ups day to day I gotta pack up get away
'Cause it's a crazy life Yes it's a crazy life Crazy life
It's a stupid life elusive life A lonely stuck secluded life A stupid life for people who want to fly too high I just don't understand why so blue What to do I'm gonna kiss my sky goodbye I'm gonna jump way down and die
'Cause it's a crazy life Yes it's a crazy life Crazy life
Jake The Peg Composer(s): Rolf Harris; Frank Roosen Performer(s): Rolf Harris; Paul O'Brien All Stars Band
[Chorus:] I'm Jake the Peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um With my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um Wherever I go through rain and snow The people always let me know There's Jake the peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um With his extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle
The day that I born (oh boy) my father nearly died He couldn't get my nappies on, how matter how he tried 'Cos I was born with an extra leg, and since that day begun I had to learn to stand on my own three feet Believe me that's no fun
[Chorus]
I had a dreadful childhood really, I s'pose I shouldn't moan Each time they had a three legged race, I won it on me own And also I got popular, when came the time for cricket They used to roll my trousers up And use me for the wicket
[Chorus]
I was a dreadful scholar, I found all the lessons hard The only thing I knew for sure, was three feet make a yard To count to ten I used me fingers, if I needed more By getting my shoes and socks off I could count to twenty four
I'm Jake the (stops to count)
...to twenty five
I'm Jake the peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um With my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um Whatever I did they said was false They said "quick march" I did the quick waltz Then they shouted at me "put your best foot forward" - but which foot? I said "it's very fine for you, you only got a choice of two" But me, I'm Jake the Peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um With the extra leg... diddle-iddle-iddle-um
This Is Tomorrow Composer(s): Bryan Ferry Performer(s): Bryan Ferry; Chad Wackerman; Ed Mann
Here in the hush of evenin' On a night in June Overhearin' conversations Bayin' at the moon Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's Sweet to my ear This is tomorrow callin' Wishin' you were here
Layin' in my motel bedroom Feelin' ceilin' blues Wall to wall a TV's twitchin' Clearly not a muse Then flashin' through the interference Beams a thousand tunes This is tomorrow callin' What have I to lose
Truckin' by the railway station I'm on the road again Steerin' clear of all temptation Unto the point of pain When steamin' thru on cue I hear that wailin' whistle blow If this is tomorrow callin' Oh what a way to go!
Day to day you live old fashioned Hi-toned,fancy free A double take,on image-spittin' Tailored to a T While history is tellin' you The same old thing This is tomorrow callin' Let's stick a new oar in This is tomorrow callin' Y'all 'n Come on in
Crazy In The Night Composer(s): Kim Carnes Performer(s): Kim Carnes
Sometimes I really think I'm going crazy in the night When I hide down in the covers And I won't turn on the light I think nothing's gonna get me But then again it might What can I do to keep from going Crazy in the night
I need a drink of water But I swallow hard instead 'Cause it's hard to move a muscle When you're frozen in your bed If I could make it to the phone Before I die of fright What can I do to keep from going Crazy in the night
Sometimes she really thinks She's going crazy in the night When she hides down in the covers And she won't turn on the light She says nothing's gonna get to her But then again it might What can she do to keep from going Crazy in the night
There's a monster on my ceiling There's a monster on the wall There are thousands in the closet Now they're coming down the hall I'm so hidden they can't find me But then again they might What can I do to keep from going Crazy in the night
Sometimes she really thinks She's going crazy in the night When she hides down in the covers And she won't turn on the light She says nothing's gonna get to her But then again it might What can she do to keep from going Crazy in the night
And if I disappeared Do you think they'd ever look Would I be headlines in the paper Or the cover of the book Got to pull myself together I don't want to die of fright What can I do to keep from going Crazy in the night
Sometimes she really thinks She's going crazy in the night When she hides down in the covers And she won't turn on the light She says nothing's gonna get to her But then again it might What can she do to keep from going Crazy in the night
J'Aimerais Pouvoir Encore Souffrir Comme Ça English Title: I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again Composer(s): Chris Long; Pierre Billon Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Oh! J'aimerais pouvoir encore souffrir comme ça Comme du temps où de temps en temps t'étais là Et entre nos déchirures je regardais mes blessures Et au moins je savais que t'étais pas bien loin Oh! J'aimerais pouvoir encore souffrir comme ça
Oh! J'aimerais qu'on puisse repartir à la guerre Même si je sais que chaque fois je la perds Et quand tu me désertais la solitude me tuait Plus sûrement que les jouets idiots de la haine Oh! J'aimerais pouvoir souffrir comme hier
J'aimerais t'entendre me dire que tu ne m'aimes plus Que tout ça doit finir que c'est foutu J'aimerais tant te voir partir comme tu l'as si souvent fais Au moins mes yeux te verraient t'en aller
J'aimerais pouvoir encore souffrir comme ça Comme du temps où de temps en temps t'étais là Et entre nos déchirures je regardais mes blessures Et au moins je savais que t'étais pas bien loin Oh! J'aimerais pouvoir encore souffrir demain
This Is The World Calling Performer(s): Bob Geldof
I hear a heart beat It's ringing out across the universe It sounds so lost and lonely It must come from somewhere deep inside of us And the operator says "All is calm All is quiet Close your eyes and sleep tonight"
This is the world calling This is earth This is the world calling This is us
I'm on a train now I'm moving through the yellow fields of rape There's so much beauty I wished that I believed enough to pray Then the operator says "Spinning 'round, you're wrapped in blue There's no-one looks as good as you"
This is the world calling This is us And it goes on and on
What we going to do because it can't go on Wrap me in your arms and keep me warm tonight
