Tired Of Waiting
Composer(s): Rick Danko - Jim Atkinson
Performer(s): Rick Danko



I have wondered, I have worried
And I've walked a complicated line
I have hungered, I have hurried
And I've almost lost my mind
Feeling happiness, does not have to be
A smile of regret, that's left from behind
Had no choice, and could not speak a word
But the picture is fading, and I'm tired of waiting...

There'll be faces at the doorway
Torn between the right and the wrong
And the road I have followed
Left me to sing an older man's song
Had no choice, and could not speak a word
But the picture is fading, and I'm tired of waiting...

I Can't Reach You
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release by: The Who - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm a million ages past you
A million years behind you too
A thousand miles up in the air
A trillion times I've seen you there

Your hair is golden, mine is grey
You walk on grass, it turns to hay
Your blood is blue and mine is red
My body strains, but the nerves are dead

I can't reach you
I've strained my eyes
I can't reach you
I've split my sides
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you

The distances grow greater now
You drink champagne and past me plow
You fly your plane right over my head
You're still alive and I'm nearly dead

I can't reach you
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you

Once I caught a glimpse
Of your unguarded, untouched heart
Our fingertips touched and then
My mind tore us apart

I can't reach you
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you

I can't reach you
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you

Je Tiens Un Tigre Par La Queue
Performer(s): Claude François



{Refrain:}
Je tiens un tigre par la queue et ça se voit
J'ai peur, je suis tout pâle et je perds du poids
Oui mais si tu partais, je serais si malheureux
Oh oui, je tiens un tigre par la queue

Le premier jour où je t'ai rencontrée
Tout semblait si beau
J'ai cru que tu étais douce comme un agneau
Aujourd'hui, notre appartement est dans un état si désastreux
On dirait que je tiens un tigre par la queue

{au Refrain}

Toutes les nuits, tu me traînes dans les boîtes
Où il y a du bruit
Infatigablement, tu danses et tu cries
Pendant ce temps, épuisé, moi je somnole
Perdu au milieu
Vraiment je tiens un tigre par la queue

{au Refrain}

Bien sûr tu es insupportable
Mais un jour, si tu changeais
Finalement, je crois bien que je m'ennuierais
Je t'aime tellement que je suis prêt
A braver l'eau et le feu
Et même à tenir un tigre par la queue

{au Refrain, x3}

At A Time Like This
Composer(s): Norrie Paramor - Norman Newell
Performer(s): Bobby Vee



At a time like this
When I'm trying to forget her 
Did you have to say you'd met her (Met her)
At a time like this 

Was she all alone
Did she look the same
And could you tell me
Did she mention my name 

At a time like this (At a time like this)
When I'd put her love behind me
Didn't want ya to remind me
At a time like this 

Though I'm doing fine
With a girl or two
I know that no one else
Will ever do 

She's the kind of girl
I will always miss
And I long to hold her in my arms
At a time like this 

She's the kind of girl
I will always miss
And I long to hold her in my arms
At a time like this
 
Yes, I long to hold her in my arms
At a time like this 

Ummm... I long to hold her in my arms
At a time like this

Je Te Tendrai Les Bras
Composer(s): Hubert Giraud; Pierre Dorsey
Performer(s): Dalida



Tant que ton cœur battra pour moi
Tant qu'un soufle d'amour en toi vivra
Que je lirais au fond de toi je te tendrai les bras
Tant que tes yeux diront la joie
Tant que tes rêves ne seront qu'à moi
Que ta pensée m'appartiendra je te tendrai les bras

Pour un amour sans lendemain
Ne te joue pas de moi comme à plaisir
Tu ne peux changer ton destin il est gravé dans l'avenir

Tant que mon cœur battra pour toi
Tant qu'un souffle de vie me restera
Pour te serrer tout contre moi je te tendrai les bras

Ivre de toi ensorcelée je donnerai pour toi plus que ma vie
Plus que ma vie pour protéger ce grand amour qui nous unit

Tant que tu créeras des matins
Qui me feront des jours ensoleillés
Que tu sauras m'émerveiller de ton bonheur qui fait le mien
Chaque jour que Dieu fait et tant que je vivrai
Mes deux bras je tendra Je tendrai vers toi

Tired Of Me
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson - Grant Clarke
Performer(s): Ted Lewis Jazz Band



You brought the sunshine into my heart
You made the whole world fair
Then all at one time, you took the sunshine
Leaving the shadows there

Tired of me, tired of me
Sorry, is all you say
Just like a toy ,children enjoy
Loved and then thrown away

Somebody new looks good to you
Happy I hope you'll be
I love you still, I always will
Though you grew tired of me

I trusted you, dear, that's why I stayed
Always so true, sweetheart
Dear have you pondered, if I had wondered
You'd have the broken heart

Tired of me, tired of me
Sorry, is all you say
Just like a toy children enjoy
Loved and then thrown away

Somebody new looks good to you
Happy I hope you'll be
I love you still, I always will
Though you grew tired of me

I Can't Quit You, Baby
So I'm gonna put you down for awhile
I said I can't quit you, baby
I guess I gotta put you down for awhile
Said you messed up my happy home
Made me mistreat my only child
Yessir, you did!
Said you know I love you, baby
My love for you I could never hide
Oh, you know I love you, baby
My love for you I could never hide
Oh, when I feel you near me little girl
I know you are my one desire
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby
You know it hurts me deep down inside
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby
You know it hurts me deep down inside
Oh, when you hear me, honey, baby
You know you're my one desire
Yes, you are

Je T'En Veux D'Être Belle
Composer(s): P. Saka; J. Renard
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Je t'en veux d'être belle
Car souvent je me dis
Peut-on rester fidèle
Lorsque l'on est aussi jolie?
Et rien n'est plus cruel
D'entendre dire partout
Que tu es la plus belle!
Comment ne pas être jaloux?
Et c'est pourquoi lorsque tu es dans mes bras
Je ne suis plus très sûr de moi
Je, je pense à tous ceux qui t'ont regardée
Et que tu n'as pas oubliés
Je t'en veux d'être belle
Tu es à la merci
D'une aventure nouvelle
Qui changerait toute ma vie
Je t'en veux d'être belle
Je sais que mon bonheur
Avec toi est bien frêle
Et c'est bien ça qui me fait peur
Je, je voudrais savoir combien va durer
L'espoir que j'ai de te garder
Mais, mais si tu répondais à mon Amour
Et si tu m'aimais pour toujours
Si tu n'aimais que moi
Je ne t'en voudrais plus crois-moi
Au, au contraire je serais fier de toi
De toi, de toi

Night is falling
I think of you
I'm walking home
I think of you
And as he calls me, yes I do
I think of you
How you doing?
I think of you
As we leave
I think of you
And I smile, I can't hide
I think of you

I don't know where your days are spent
Your lovers and you friends
But I know for sure
Of who you have been thinking

Far beyond the city's lights
Are two who dream a life
Forgive them if they never find their freedom
Their freedom

It's so late
I think of you
He walks me home
I think of you
I'm so sorry, I'm so tired
I think of you
And in the shadows
I think of you
I close my eyes
I think of you
Now I'm falling
I think of you

And in feeling
I think of you
And in breathing
I think of you
And in seeing
I think of you
And in living
I think of you

I Can't Quit Her
Composer(s): Al Kooper; Irwin Levin
Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears



I can't quit her 
She's  got a hold on me 
She got her hand on my soul 
I can't quit her 
'cause I see her face everywhere I go 
In the city streets, in the country fields 
In the back of my mind 
I know it can't be real 
For a woman to possess 
all the tenderness she had 
But the hands of time 
keep tickin' on my back 
'cause it's been so long 
since I had her back beside me
Yeah, I know 

I can't quit her 
'cause on my darkest night 
she comes on like a light 
I can't quite her 
Try as I may, with all my might 
She had a woman's touch 
And a young girls eyes
and in seconds flat I was pros'lytized 
turned around 
and made to feel sweet love 
But the hands of time 
Keep tickin' on my back 
'cause it's been so long 
since I had her back beside me 

True love is somethin' 
ev'ry young boy knows about 
and he fights his whole soul all the best to find some 
I was a young boy 
'till I held her in my arms 
now I find that I'm strung out behind some 

I can't quit her 
She got her hand on me 
she got a hold on my soul 
'cause I your face everywhere I go 
I can't quit her, woo ooo yeah 
I know 
You know I see your face 
Everywhere I go! 
I need her...I need the little girl

Je T'Écris Souvent
Composer(s): J-J Debout; R. Le Sénéchal
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Je t'écris souvent
Je pense à toi
Chaque seconde
Mais je ne sais pas
Si tu comprends
Combien je t'aime

La nuit se souvient
Que nos deux cœurs
Trahis de peine
Se sont séparés
En espérant
Se retrouver

Je t'écris souvent
Je t'aime encore
Que faut-il faire
Je voudrais mourir
Il faut souffrir
Sur cette terre

Tu ne réponds pas
Je suis tout seul
Ma vie ma peine
T'avoir près de moi
Te serrer dans mes bras

Je t'écris souvent
demain je pars
Vers les casernes
Oui je t'attendrai
La nuit et le jour
Puisque je t'aime

Retiens nuit et jour
Ce pauvre amour
Qui désespère
En aimant que lui
Tu as perdu ma vie

Tu as perdu ma vie

I Can't Quit (I've Gone Too Far)
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



I'd like to find somebody
Who would be just halfway true
But I can't quit, I've gone too far
I'm deep in love with you

I'd like to pull up stakes and leave
That's what I'd like to do
But I can't quit, I've gone too far
I'm deep in love with you

If I knew then what I know now
I wouldn't be so blue
I'd-a quit seein' you long ago
I wouldn't be lovin' you

Well, you keep so mixed up inside
By things you say and do
But I can't quit, I've gone too far
I'm deep in love with you

I can't quit, I've gone too far
I'm deep in love, you see
You really know your way around
You're makin' it tough on me

Well, a truckload full of dynamite
Couldn't blast you out o' my heart
Are you there to stay, well, it's a-lookin' that way
Why don't you do your part

If I'd-a been smart, I'd-a closed my heart
I wouldn't a-let you in
But I find I was wrong when I waited so long
I got you under my skin

Well, you keep me so mixed up inside
By things you say and do
But I can't quit, I've gone too far
I'm deep in love with you

If I knew then what I know now
I wouldn't be so blue
I'd-a quit seein' you long ago
I wouldn't be lovin' you

Well, you keep me so mixed up inside
By things you say and do
But I can't quit, I've gone too far
I'm deep in love with you

Quel que soit le moyen, je m'en moque
Je te veux toute à moi
Si j'avais eu le choix de l'époque
Pour t'avoir toute à moi
J'aurais bravé le feu, les orages
La mort et les grands froids
Pour que tu saches avec quelle rage
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Mais dans ce monde où tout va si vite
Je te veux toute à moi
Autour de nous, on s'aime, on se quitte
Je te veux toute à moi
Je veux t'aimer, je veux te défendre
Je veux parler de toi
Sans éviter les mots les plus tendres
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Il faudra bien que la vie se passe
Au rythme de nos joies
Car c'est inscrit dans le temps qui passe
Je te veux toute à moi
Je n'ai pas eu le choix de l'époque
Pour t'avoir toute à moi
Quel que soit le moyen, je m'en moque
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi
Je te veux toute à moi

(Scooby-dooby-scoo-doo)
(Scooby-dooby-scoo-doo)

There once was a peddler passing by
His cart with fruit was laden high
And as he drove along he cried
Across the village green

Crying apples, peaches and cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-zoo)
Apples (apples), peaches (peaches) and cherries

His daughter sat beside him there
She was young and she was fair
All glowing with a beauty rare
A maid of sweet sixteen

A young lad beckoned from the door
He bought some fruit and then bought more
His longing eyes were begging for
The lovely maid to stay

He sought and found her at the mart
He wooed and won the maiden's heart
And now ten children ride the cart
Across the village green
 
Crying apples, peaches and cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-boo)
Apples (apples), peaches (peaches) and cherries

Now if there is a moral here
Such fruitfulness should make it clear
So shut the window when you hear
A peddler passing by

Crying apples, peaches and cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-boo)
Apples (apples), peaches (peaches) and cherries
Apples (apples)
And peaches (asparagus)
And apples (Brussels sprouts)
And peaches (string beans)

And cherries (and zucchini)
No! cherries (and cherries)
And cherries (Scooby-dooby-scoo-boo)

Hah-hah-hah, cherries

Turn down the lights
turn down the bed 
Turn down these voices inside my head 
Lay down with me
tell me no lies 
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me 


'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't 
'Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't

I'll close my eyes
then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't 
'Cause I can't make you love me 
if you don't

Je suis le fils de l'homme et de la femme
Ça m'étonne je croyais être d'avantage
Quelque chose dans les yeux une flamme
Je lève la tête, je brûle les nuages
Mais je te veux
Mais je te veux

Je suis résigné à toujours marcher
Parmi ces gens qui ne me ressemblent pas
J'ignore tout de l'amour de l'amitié
Excepté tout le mal qu'on évite pas
Mais je te veux
Mais je te veux

Voici la folle qui danse sans faire de mouvement
Elle m'a vu je sais ce qu'elle va vous dire
Tu es pâle, tu as les yeux transparents
Elle fait tomber la mer au fond de son rire
Mais je la veux
Mais je la veux

Ton sens des larmes demeure, n'écoute pas
Je n'ai pas de larmes, je n'ai pas de sang, oh non
Je n'ai qu'un amour qui ne s'arrête pas
Je suis allongé sur mon lit je t'attends
Car je te veux
Car je te veux

Oh, je te veux
Je t'aime
Je t'aime encore
Je suis sur mon lit
Et je t'attends
Car je te veux
Baby
Je t'attends

Tired Angels
Composer(s): Felix Pappalardi - Gail Collins
Performer(s): Mountain



Put their shoulders to the big wheel, work their fingers to the bone
Take their pleasures in the future, put it down and bring it home
Walk around into the sundown, looking for an honest man
Gentle people seeing too much, aching to be wat they can

Angels, tired angels
Tired down inside their shoes
All wanting grace
They live again rhythym lines on the king of Gondor's face
Children, gentle children
Gentle leaving to the wars
They found their place
And live again their rhythym lives on the king of Gondor's face

Sinking down into the lame words, overflowing with their sorrows
Praying for it all to cease fire, saturated with desire
Standing up to all the brave men, laughing hollow at the day's end
Walking back and give a handshake, this is just another bad break
