This Wheel's On Fire Composer(s): Bob Dylan First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1967/1975 Covered by multiple other artists
If your memory serves you well We were going to meet again and wait So I'm going to unpack all my things And sit before it gets too late No man alive will come to you With another tale to tell But you know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode!
If your memory serves you well I was going to confiscate your lace And wrap it up in a sailor's knot And hide it in your case If I knew for sure that it was yours... But it was oh so hard to tell But you knew that we would meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode!
If your memory serves you well You'll remember you're the one That called on me to call on them To get you your favours done And after every plan had failed And there was nothing more to tell You knew that we would meet again If your memory served you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode!
Cross The Border Composer(s): Petula Clark; Siegried Fietz Performer(s): Petula Clark
They say love goes where the stream flows Love will cross the border And if love shows us the way ... maybe The desert will bloom again I dreamed I was in Africa beneath a cloudless sky No food to feed my family No strength in me to cry
IT was only a dream thank GOD it won't come true But the suffering I've seen keeps haunting me through and through
But if love goes where the stream flows Love can cross the border And if love goes all the way ... maybe Their suffering will not be in vain I've seen the people searching for an answer to their pain I can still hear them praying for the rains to come again And they're willing to learn if we're willing to teach Deep beneath the earth there is water within our reach
They say love goes where the stream flows Love will cross the border and if love goes all the way ... they'll see That land growing green again
They say love goes where the stream flows Love can cross the border And if love goes all the way ... maybe The desert will bloom again

Java Blues Composer(s): Rick Danko; Emmett Grogan Performer(s): Rick Danko; Levon Helm; Nazareth
Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter Asked if she could help in any way I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial If i was in the need of company I asked her for some Java Instead she brought a cup of chickory
A taste of Java, is like a volcanic rush Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin too much Costs many more than you care to pay But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat the only pick-me-up that's here to stay
Java Blues ... coffee's got me Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee Java Blues ... well the coffee's got me Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee You know that I'll stay high Drinkin' coffee till I die Java blues
Won't you boil me water ... fill up my cup You know it takes alot to keep me up Down in Bolivia ... the people are insane They want as much for Java as they do for cocaine Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat The only pick-me-up that's here to stay
Java Blues ... coffee's got me Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee Java Blues ... you don't know what it does to me Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee You know that I'll stay high Drinkin' coffee till I die Java Blues ...

Ce souvenir, je te l'rends Des souvenirs tu sais, j'en ai tellement Puisqu'on repart toujours à zéro Pas la peine de s'charger trop
Ce souvenir je te l'prends Des souvenirs comme ça, j'en veux tout l'temps Si par erreur la vie nous sépare Je l'sortirai d'mon tiroir
J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien Ça n'va pas plus loin J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens Vivement demain
Mon bonheur te ressemble Tous les deux vous allez bien ensemble J'te l'dirai jamais, jamais assez Tout c'que tu fais m'fait d'l'effet
J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien Ça n'va pas plus loin J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens Vivement demain
Un dernier verre de sherry De chéri mon amour, comme je m'ennuie Tous les jours se ressemblent à présent Tu me manques terriblement...
Cross Over The Bridge Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin - George David Weiss
Performer(s): Patti Page
and multiple other artists
If you're a guy who's had a gal In each and every port And you've forgot the rules of love That life has always taught And if you broke as many hearts As ripples in a stream Well, brother, here's the only way That you can be redeemed
Cross over the bridge Cross over the bridge Change your reckless way of livin' Cross over the bridge Leave your fickle past behind you And true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge
If you have built a boat To take you to the greener side And if the boat is built Of ev'ry lie you ever lied You'll never reach the Promised Land of love I guarantee 'Cause lies cannot hold water And you'll sink into the sea
Cross over the bridge Cross over the bridge Change your reckless way of livin' Cross over the bridge Leave your fickle past behind you And true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge
I know it isn't easy To resist temptation's call But think of how your broken heart Will hurt you when you fall 'Cause some day you will find That you are hopelessly in love And she'll belong to someone else As sure as stars above
Cross over the bridge Cross over the bridge Change your reckless way of livin' Cross over the bridge Leave your fickle past behind you And true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge
Jaurès Composer(s): Jacques Brel Performer(s): Jacques Brel; Zebda
Ils étaient usés à quinze ans Ils finissaient en débutant Les douze mois s'appelaient décembre Quelle vie ont eu nos grand-parents Entre l'absinthe et les grand-messes Ils étaient vieux avant que d'être Quinze heures par jour le corps en laisse Laissent au visage un teint de cendres Oui notre Monsieur, oui notre bon Maître
On ne peut pas dire qu'ils furent esclaves De là à dire qu'ils ont vécu Lorsque l'on part aussi vaincu C'est dur de sortir de l'enclave Et pourtant l'espoir fleurissait Dans les rêves qui montaient aux cieux Des quelques ceux qui refusaient De ramper jusqu'à la vieillesse Oui notre bon Maître, oui notre Monsieur
Si par malheur ils survivaient C'était pour partir à la guerre C'était pour finir à la guerre Aux ordres de quelque sabreur Qui exigeait du bout des lèvres Qu'ils aillent ouvrir au champ d'horreur Leurs vingt ans qui n'avaient pu naître Et ils mouraient à pleine peur Tout miséreux oui notre bon Maître Couverts de prèles oui notre Monsieur Demandez-vous belle jeunesse Le temps de l'ombre d'un souvenir Le temps de souffle d'un soupir

Wie schwarz die Nacht auch wäre Dem Mond stellt sich heut' nichts in die Quere Der Nachtwind säuselt leise im Baum Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum!
Die letzten Gäste gehen Des Abends Reste bleiben noch stehen So viel zu sagen steht noch im Raum: Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum!
Die Straßen beginnen zu schlafen Lichter stehen Spalier Dein Traumboot verläßt heut' den Hafen Träumst Du von mir?
Bis uns der Morgen findet Bis dann der Mond ganz heimlich verschwindet wiegt uns die Nacht, wir spüren es kaum Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum!
Und über Millionen von Dächern schleicht nur noch der Wind Er singt Dir von all meinen Träumen die bei Dir sind
Bis uns der Morgen findet Bis dann der Mond ganz heimlich verschwindet wiegt uns die Nacht, wir spüren es kaum Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum!
Und über Millionen von Dächern schleicht nur noch der Wind Er singt Dir von all meinen Träumen die bei Dir sind
Wie schwarz die Nacht auch wäre... Schließ mich ein in Deinen Traum...
Cross My Heart And Hope To Die Composer(s): Sid Wayne; Benjamin Weisman Performer(s): Elvis Presley
I can explain about last night Though things didn't look just right Please believe me there was nothing wrong I thought about you baby all night long Cross my heart, I hope to die Well I wouldn't tell you no lie, mmm
Talk about a piece of rotten luck You do a friend a favor and you wind up stuck She couldn't hold a candle to you, no siree Very hard to handle like a Model T Cross my heart, I hope to die Well I wouldn't tell you no lie
Please believe me when I say Wild horses couldn't drag me away From you 'cause I don't have to look too hard To see what I've got in my own back yard So please forgive me and forget Don't say my alloy's all wet (?) I miss those kisses from your honeycomb This humble bumble bee just wants to fly back home Cross my heart, I hope to die Well I wouldn't tell you no lie
I wouldn't tell you no lie No no no no no no I wouldn't tell you no lie

J'aurais voulu danser J'aurais voulu tourner Jusqu'à la fin des jours Toute étourdie de joie Toute imprégnée de toi Au rythme de l'amour Toute la nuit, toute la vie peut-être Juste le temps de se connaître

Mais depuis lors Je danse encore en rêve Avec ton nom au bord des lèvres J'ai le regret de toi Ton souvenir m'entoure Car c'était toi, oui toi L'amour

J'Aurais Seulement Voulu Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Qu'aurais-je été qu'aurais-je été Si ce n'est au violon ce qu'est la chanterelle Cette corde que fait chanter Vivaldi au printemps couleur de tourterelle
J'aurais simplement voulu être heureux J'aurais simplement voulu La la la la la la la la J'aurais seulement voulu
Qu'aurais-je été qu'aurais-je été S'il ne montait ce chant au travers de ma gorge Témoin de la réalité Du monde de malheur que les hommes se forgent
J'aurais simplement voulu être heureux J'aurais simplement voulu La la la la la la la la J'aurais seulement voulu
Qu'aurais-je été qu'aurais-je été Sinon cet inconnu qui croit qu'on lui pardonne Pour son accent de vérité De ravir au passant la chanson qu'il fredonne
J'aurais simplement voulu être heureux J'aurais simplement voulu La la la la la la la la J'aurais seulement voulu
Qu'aurais-je été qu'aurais-je été Sinon cette vallée que tous les vents traversent Mes certitudes ballotées Ces mots à peine éclos à mes lèvres qui gercent
J'aurais tant voulu vivre un monde heureux J'aurais seulement voulu La la la la la la la la J'aurais seulement voulu
Zoo time is she and you time The mammals are your favourite type, and you want her tonight Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers This town ain't big enough for both of us And it ain't me who's gonna leave
Flying domestic flying And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear Heartbeat increasing heartbeat You are a khaki-coloured bombadier it's Hiroshima that you're nearing This town ain't big enough for both of us And it ain't me who's gonna leave
Daily, except for Sunday You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do This town ain't big enough for both of us And it ain't me who's gonna leave
Shower, another shower You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down This town ain't big enough for both of us And it ain't me who's gonna leave
Census, the latest census There'll be more girls who live in town though not enough to go round Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat You know that: This town isn't big enough not big enough for both of us This town isn't big enough not big enough for both of us And I ain't gonna leave
Cross My Heart Composer(s): Brandon; Wiener Performer(s): Billy Fury
I've heard the rumour spreading all over town They say I'm giving you the runaround Believe me Darling, I never told a lie Cross my heart and hope to die
Some other fellow wants to take you out And he's just trying to fill your heart with doubt Believe me Darling, I never told a lie Cross my heart and hope to die
Pay no attention to the things that you've heard You're still my only girl, I give you my word I took your best friend out just like they say She helped me buy a gift for your birthday
Believe me darling, I never told a lie Cross my heart and hope to die I cross my heart and hope to die Cross my heart and hope to die Cross my ...

Somewhere, someday Well be close together, wait and see Oh, by the way, this time the dreams on me Youll take my hand And youll look at me adoringly But if things stand, this time the dreams on me

Croquemitoufle ((German Version: Frühling in Paris (Gilbert Bécaud))
Composer(s): Louis Amade - Pierre Delanoë - Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Colette Renard; Dalida
Je me rencroquemitoufle Au fond des pantoufles Quand tu n'es pas là Et je m'éfiléfiloche Comme un fond de poche Quand tu n'es pas là Je périclite, décline En carabobine Qui n'en finit pas Et la vie me semble fouine Blette et filandrine Quand tu n'es pas là
Oh la la Que le temps s'étire Oh la la Tirelirela
Et je me serpentiluche Je m'escaramuche Dans le fond des bois Tous les raconte-bouillasses Des grogne-filasses Ne m'atteignent pas C'est la pauvre galochade La maripanade Des jours sans galas Tous les corbeaux croambulent C'est la plénibule Des oiseaux de croix
Oh la la Que le temps s'étire Oh la la Tirelirela
Mais soudain je m'exclamouche Ton cur qui fait mouche Trinque avec le mien Je me raminagroviche Comme chattebiche Ronronne matin Boum ça tambouriclaironne Ça tonitrutonne En million d'éclats Toi tu m'enrubambichonnes Tu m'empolissonnes Au lit de ma joie
Oh la la Mon Dieu que je t'aime Oh la la Tirelirela Oh la la Mon Dieu que je t'aime Oh la la
