This Will Be Our Year
Composer(s): Chris White
First release by: The Zombies - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



The warmth of your love's 
Like the warmth from the sun
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come...

Don't let go of my hand
Now the darkness has gone
This will be our year
Took a long time to come...

And I won't forget
The way you helped me up when I was down
And I won't forget
The way you said "darling, I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there
And we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come...

The warmth of your smile
Smile for me, little one
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come...

You don't have to worry

Crossfire
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Spring light in a hazy May
And a man with a gun at the door
Someone's crawling on the roof above 
All the media here for the show
I've been waiting for our friends to come
Like spiders down ropes to free - fall
A thirty round clip for a visiting card
Admit one to the embassy ball

Caught in the crossfire on Princes Gate Avenue
In go the windows and out go the lights
Call me a doctor. Fetch me a policeman
I'm down on the floor in one hell of a fight

I'm just a soul with an innocent face 
A regular boy dressed in blue
Conducting myself in a proper way
As befitting the job that I do
They came down on me like a ton of bricks
Swept off my feet, knocked about
There's nothing for it but to sit and wait
For the hard men to get me out

Calm reason floats from the street below
And the slow fuse burns through the night
Everyone's tried to talk it through
But they can't seem to get the deal right
Somewhere there are Brownings in a two - hand hold
Cocked and locked, one up the spout
There's nothing for it but to sit and wait
For the hard men to get me out

J'Avais Oublié Que Les Roses Sont Roses
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Tiens un oiseau qui chante tiens un enfant qui joue
Une fleur qui s'invente un printemps pour deux sous
Tiens un soleil qui brille d'où sort-il celui-là
Des gens qui me sourient ça existe tout ça

{Refrain:}
J'avais oublié que les roses sont roses
J'avais oublié que les bleuets sont bleus
J'avais oublié tant de belles choses
J'avais oublié où avais-je les yeux

Une douce lumière s'enroule autour de moi
Mille mains familières me fêtent comme un roi
J'ai retrouvé ma vieille vie, jolis pulls délavés
A l'instant je m'habille et je repars au passé
{au Refrain}

Je me trouvais dans un vieux livre que j'ai relu cent fois
Un monde où il fait bon vivre quitte à vivre sans toi
Et toi qui n'est plus qu'une ombre dans le ciel bien trop bleu
Enfin je suis du nombre des imbéciles heureux
{au Refrain}

((Adapted from: The Unfortunate Rake - 18th Century (aka St. James Infirmary - 1928/1929))
Composer(s): Irving Mills - Jacques Chaumelle
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1965



Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Le premier s'appelait Buddy
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Et l'autre s'appelait Eddy
Un avion surgissant de l'ombre
S'est écrasé dans un bruit d'enfer
Un avion surgissant de l'ombre
M'a privé de Buddy à jamais
Un taxi aux portes de Londres
Dérapant sur la chaussée mouillée
Un taxi aux portes de Londres
M'a fait perdre Eddy à tout jamais
Le néon s'est éteint trop vite
Et sur eux le rideau est tombé
D'autres noms maintenant s'inscrivent
Mais moi, je n' les oublierais jamais
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Le premier s'appelait Buddy
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Et l'autre s'appelait Eddy

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

And I'll cut a rug 'til I'm snug in a jug 
A slice of onion and a raw one

Coffee and tea and the java and me

Drop a nickel in my pot, Joe, takin' it slow

There’s gonna to be some changin’ round, Baby you’ve done let me down
You’d done trifled on me your last time

So if I should stay out late you know I’ve been swinging on another gate
Gonna leave you and ease This Troubled Mind Of Mine

Ah Tommy Jackson now...

Now Baby I want you to know you left your motor runnin’ slow
I got off, got on a faster line

Cross patch how can anyone be so cross
Won't you tumble off your high horse
You know you love to be loved
Cross patch, if you feel the wind change, they say
It will make your face stay that way
And then you'll never be loved
Cultivate a smile sweet and sunny
You can catch a fly with honey
You're actin so spoiled
Shame, shame ... everybody knows your name
Cross patch don't you know it takes two to fight
Won't you kiss and make up tonight
You know you love to be loved

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

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

Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?
Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?

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

Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?
Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?

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

Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?
Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès?

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

Si j'avais su
J'aurais compris comme un aveu
Tout ce que me disaient
Tes yeux

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

Composer(s): John Alexander
Performer(s): Johnny Ace



I cross my heart
And I hope to die
If I should ever
Ever make you cry
'Cause you're my all
Darling, you're a part of me

I swear by every
Every star above
I'll be with you
Please take my love
You're everything
Everything a love can be

I tread the world
Of the treasures of your charms
My dear, I'll never be free
Be with me right here in my arms
You're my queen, you'll always be

I swear, I swear
By all that's real
No love but yours
I'll ever feel
I cross my heart
And if I lie
I hope to die

I cross my heart
And if I lie
I hope to die
