Aren't you a skinny kid - Just like his poppa Where's he working? - He's not working Thin as the smile I wear Cold as the beaches you comb Till the cows come home
Tell the truth again - Tell the truth again Near to the knuckle, near to the knuckle Why're you laughing? - You call that laughing? Wearing your death's head grin - Even the fishes are thin When the boat comes in
Things are better now - Things are better now We've education I doff my cap to a life that lets you Dream a poor man's dream But he can't have his coffee with cream Till the cows come home

Yeah the bells have tolled And my baby caught that train and gone Oh the bells have tolled And my baby caught that train and gone Well it's all my fault I must have done somebody wrong

Je Ne Sais Faire Que L'Amour Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Le travail ne me fait pas peur Mais je l'effraie, j'en ai peur J'ai deux mains et dix doigts Qui fatiguent mes bras Et de plus je les porte sur moi
Je ne sais faire que l'amour Danser, boire, me coucher au petit jour Je ne connais qu'une chose Je ne sais rien faire d'autre Je ne sais faire que l'amour pour l'amour
Pourtant mon coude peut se lever Si un verre est là pour le prolonger On ne m'a jamais proposé une place à la faculté C'est pourquoi je viens tout expliquer Je ne sais faire que l'amour
Danser, boire, me coucher au petit jour Je ne connais qu'une chose Je ne sais rien faire d'autre Je ne sais faire que l'amour pour l'amour Je ne sais faire que l'amour pour l'amour

I'm a cork on the ocean Floating over the raging sea How deep is the ocean? How deep is the ocean? I lost my way Hey hey hey
I'm a rock in a landslide Rolling over the mountainside How deep is the valley? How deep is the valley? It kills my soul Hey hey hey
I'm a leaf on a windy day Pretty soon I'll be blown away How long will the wind blow? How long will the wind blow?
Dip do do do Do do do do Do do
Until I die Until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die

Je Ne Puis Vivre Que De Toi Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Comme à l'amour est l'eau fraîche Quand tu me dis bois Comme le sont à l'Ardèche Ses landes ses bois Comme Marie dans la crèche Attendait les rois Je ne puis vivre Je ne puis vivre que de toi
Je passais sans t'apercevoir Comme le vent dans les lilas Comme les peuples dans l'histoire Mais il fallait que je te voie
Le torrent laisse sa trace Au flanc du rocher Si demain le temps efface Ce que j'ai été Qu'il me laisse au moins ma place En tes bras creusée Où j'ai pu vivre Où j'ai pu vivre et t'aimer
Mon amour ma cartomancienne L'avenir point entre tes bras Comme l'aube entre les persiennes Il sera ce qu'on veut qu'il soit
Comme à l'amour est l'eau fraîche Quand tu me dis bois Comme le sont à l'Ardèche Ses landes ses bois Comme Marie dans la crèche Attendait les rois Je ne puis vivre Je ne puis vivre que de toi Je ne puis vivre Je ne puis vivre que de toi

(It's No) Sin Composer(s): Randy Castillo; George Hoven; Ozzy Osbourne; Chester R. Shull; Zakk Wylde Performer(s): Eddy Howard and multiple other artists
Take away the breath of flowers It would surely be a sin Take the rain from April showers It's a sin Take away the violins, dear From a lovely symphony And the music of my heart
Would cease to be Is it a sin to love you so? To hold you close and know you are near me?
Though you take away my heart, dear There's a beating still within I'll keep loving you forever For it's no sin
Je Ne Pourrai Jamais L'Oublier English Title: Why Does This Girl Give Me Fever? Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Je ne pourrai jamais l'oublier Comme une blessure qui ne veut pas guérir Je dois réapprendre à vivre et à aimer Que puis-je faire contre son souvenir Lui, au moins, je sais qu'il ne peut pas mourir
J'ai tout essayé pour l'arracher de mon cur J'ai cru l'effacer pour toujours Même le temps ne m'aide pas et j'ai peur Qu'avec elle soit mort à jamais l'amour Pourtant en moi je sens qu'elle vit Son absence devient ma folie
Son image Oh! Son visage Ne se faneront jamais Oui, je l'aime Oh oui, je l'aime Quelque part elle le sait
Je ne pourrai jamais l'oublier Je ne peux même pas faire semblant Alors je fais l'amour les yeux fermés Et c'est elle que j'aime en trichant
Je suis malade, malade, malade, malade à en crever Je ne pourrai jamais l'oublier

(I'd Go The) Whole Wide World Composer(s): Wreckless Eric Performer(s): The Monkees
When I was a young boy, my momma said to me There's only one girl in this world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti
I'd go the whole wide world (I'd go the whole wide world) Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world (I'd go the whole wide world) To find out where they hide her
Well maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Caribbean Sea is blue Weepin' in a tropical moonlit night Because nobody's talked about you Instead of hangin' around in the rain out here Just tryin' to pick up a girl Oh how my eyes are fillin' up with this lonely tale But there's girls all over the world
Go!
She lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath the tropical sun Hiding away in the heat wave there Hopin' that I won't be long I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her Caressing her warm brown skin Then in a year or may be not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world To find out where they hide her Go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world (Just to find her)
I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world Just to find her
'Til A Tear Becomes A Rose Composer(s): Bill Rice - Mary Sharon Rice Performer(s): Keith Whitley and multiple other artists
Darling, I can see the clouds around you And in your heart I know a sorrow grows But if you weep I'll be right here to hold you 'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
Dearest love, I know your heart been shattered And all my words can offer no relief But my love will heal the pain you've suffered And I'll be here if you should turn to me
I deepest night when memories tend to gather Lay with me and put your fears to sleep 'Cause there's no pain no dream can put asunder All the love that binds us you and me
Darling, I can see the clouds around you And in your heart I know a sorrow grows But if you weep I'll be right here to hold you 'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose 'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
(I Wonder Why?) You're Just In Love Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Ethel Merman & Russell Nype and multiple other artists
I hear singing and there's no one there I smell blossoms and the trees are bare All day long I seem to walk on air I wonder why, I wonder why
I keep tossing in my sleep at night And what's more I've lost my appetite Stars that used to twinkle in the skies Are twinkling in my eyes, I wonder why
You don't need analyzing It is not so surprising That you feel very strange but nice Your heart goes pitter patter I know just what's the matter Because I've been there once or twice
Put your head on my shoulder You need someone who's older A rub down with a velvet glove There is nothing you can take To relieve that pleasant ache You're not sick, you're just in love
I hear singing and there's no one there You don't need analyzing, it is not so surprising I smell blossoms and the trees are bare That you feel very strange but nice All day long I seem to walk on air Your heart goes pitter patter, I know just what's the matter I wonder why, I wonder why Because I've been there once or twice
I keep tossing in my sleep at night Put your head on my shoulder, you need someone who's older And what's more I've lost my appetite A rub down with a velvet glove Stars that used to twinkle in the skies There is nothing you can take Are twinkling in my eyes To relieve that pleasant ache I wonder why You're not sick you're just in love

Oh, je ne peux pas t'en vouloir Tant pis pour moi si j'ai perdu Tu ne pouvais pas savoir Qu'un jour tu ne m'aimerais plus Mais moi, moi je t'aime encore Je ne vis rien que pour toi Que vont être pour moi ces jours Qu'il faudra vivre sans toi?

Tijuana Jail Composer(s): Denny Thompson Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; Johnny Bond
We went one day about a month ago (ha ha ha) to have a little fun (ah ha) in Mexico We ended up in a gambling spot (ha ha ha) where the liquor flowed and the dice were hot
So, here we are in the Tijuana jail Ain't got no friends to go our bail So, here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay Just send our mail to the Tijuana jail
I was shooting dice, raking in the dough (long green) and then I heard a whistle blow We started to run when a man in blue said, "Senor, come with me 'cause I want you"
So, here we are in the Tijuana jail Ain't got no friends to go our bail So, here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay Just send our mail to the Tijuana jail
Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free I couldn't raise a penny if they threatened me I know five hundred don't sound like much (cheap), but just try to find somebody to touch
So, here we are in the Tijuana jail Ain't got no friends to go our bail So, here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay Just send our mail to the Tijuana jail
So, here we are in the Tijuana jail Ain't got no friends to go our bail So, here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay Just send our mail to the Tijuana jail

Je Ne Peux Pas Rentrer Chez Moi Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Je ne peux pas rentrer chez moi Car mon passé y est déjà Dés que j'ouvre la porte Il vient me faire escorte Et me suit partout pas à pas Me parlant sans cesse à mi-voix Me montrant les choses du doigt Et comme j'appréhende Sa présence obsédante Je ne peux pas rentrer chez moi
Les gens me dévisagent S'apitoient D'autres au passage Rient de moi On me bouscule, on me bafoue Mais je l'avoue Après tout je m'en fous Que m'importe ces inconnus Je vais sans espoir et sans but Mon coeur est en faillite Ma peine est sans limite L'amour m'a filé dans les doigts Je ne peux pas rentrer chez moi
Je ne peux pas rentrer chez moi Plus rien ne m'attire là-bas Et de la solitude N'ayant pas l'habitude J'aime mieux traîner ça et là Le monde entier est contre moi Le grand lit pour deux est trop froid Quand tout seul je m'y vautre Elle est avec un autre Je ne peux pas rentrer chez moi
Dans un moment de haine J'ai jeté Au fond de la Seine Cette clé Qu'était la chaîne entre elle et moi Pour qu'elle s'y noie Comme moi je me noie Dans l'alcool que je prends dans les bars Pour surmonter mon désespoir Et l'on verse dans mon verre Du bonheur éphémère Qui crée en moi de fausses joies Je ne peux pas rentrer chez moi
Je voudrais bien rentrer chez nous Pour sentir ses bras sur mon cou Étouffer ma colère Écarter ma misère Sécher mes larmes sur ses joues Je voudrais bien rentrer chez nous
Tigresa Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso and multiple other artists
Uma tigresa de unhas negras e íris cor de mel Uma mulher, uma beleza que me aconteceu Esfregando sua pele de ouro marrom do seu corpo contra o meu Me falou que o mal é bom e o bem cruel
Enquanto os pelos dessa deusa tremem ao vento ateu Ela me conta, sem certeza, tudo que viveu Que gostava de política em mil novecentos e setenta e seis E hoje dança no Frenetic Dancing Days
Ela me conta que era atriz e trabalhou no "Hair" Com alguns homens foi feliz, com outros foi mulher Que tem muito ódio no coração, que tem dado muito amor E espalhado muito prazer e muita dor
Mas ela ao mesmo tempo diz que tudo vai mudar Porque ela vai ser o que quis, inventando um lugar Onde a gente e a natureza feliz vivam sempre em comunhão E a tigresa possa mais do que um leão
As garras da felina me marcaram o coração Mas as besteiras de menina que ela disse não E eu corri para o violão, num lamento, e a manhã nasceu azul Como é bom poder tocar um instrumento
Cymbeline Composer(s): Loreena McKennitt - William Shakespeare
Performer(s): Loreena McKennitt
Fear no more the heat o' th' sun Nor the furious winters' rages Thou thy worldly task hast done Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages Golden lads and girls all must As chimney-sweepers, come to dust
The sceptre, learning, physic, must All follow this and come to dust
Fear no more the frown o' th' great Thou art past the tyrant's stroke Care no more to clothe and eat To thee the reed is as the oak The sceptre, learning, physic, must All follow this and come to dust
All lovers young, all lovers must Consign to thee and come to dust
Fear no more the lightning flash Nor th' all-dreaded thunder stone Fear not slander, censure rash Thou hast finished joy and moan All lovers young, all lovers must Consign to thee and come to dust
No exorciser harm thee! Nor no witchcraft charm thee! Ghost unlaid forbear thee! Nothing ill come hear thee! Quiet consummation have And renowned by thy grave!
