I Don't Eat Animals Composer(s): Melanie Safka Performer(s): Melanie Safka
I was just thinking about the way it's supposed to be I'll eat the plants and the fruit from the trees And I'll live on vegetables and I'll grow on seeds But I don't eat animals and they don't eat me Oh no, I don't eat animals 'cause I love them, you see I don't eat animals, I want nothing dead in me
I don't eat white flour, white sugar makes you rot Oh, white could be beautiful but mostly it's not A little bit of whole meal, some raisins and cheese But I don't eat animals and they don't eat me Oh no, I don't eat animals 'cause I love them, you see I don't eat animals, I want nothing dead in me
A little bit of whole meal, some raisins and cheese I'll eat the plants and the fruit from the trees And I'll live on vegetables and I'll grow on seeds But I won't eat animals and they won't eat me Oh no, I'll live on life, I want nothing dead in me You know I'll become life and my life will become me You know I'll live on life and my life will live on me
I wrote this song in Columbus, Missouri I was... had a day off, so I, I wanted to go to the country and that wasn't very difficult because the country was... Columbus, Missouri is the country And I walked outside my door and I saw a big cow and I said "Oh, moo, you know, don't you, you know that I don't eat cows?" And the cow didn't say anything except: "Mmmm, Melanie" And so, and so I wrote him this song and I wrote it really for all the cows

I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine Composer(s): Mack David First recording/First release by: Tony Martin - 1949/1950 Covered by multiple other artists
The sun contains a ray They label Vitamin D If you like Vitamin D It's quite alright with me But I am here to say That I like vitamin love But I can't get vitamin love With that doggone sun above....
I don't care if the sun don't shine I get my lovin' in the evening time When I'm with my baby
It's no fun with the sun around But I get going when the sun goes down And I meet my baby
That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss And then we kiss some more Don't ask how many times we kiss At a time like this, who keeps score?
So I don't care if the sun don't shine I get my lovin' in the evening time When I'm with my baby
That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss And then we kiss some more Don't ask how many times we kiss At a time like this, who keeps score?
So I don't care if the sun don't shine I get my lovin' in the evening time When I'm with my baby
Puis il revint comme il était parti Bon pied, bon il, personne d'averti Aux dents, toujours la vive marguerite Aux yeux, toujours la flamme qui crépite
Mit sur ta lèvre, Aline, un long baiser Mit sur la table un peu d'or étranger Chanta, chanta deux chansons de marine S'alla dormir dans la chambre enfantine
Puis il revint comme il était parti Bon pied, bon il, personne d'averti Aux dents, toujours la vive marguerite Aux yeux, toujours la flamme qui crépite
Rêva tout haut d'écume et de cavale S'entortilla dans d'étranges rafales Puis au réveil, quand l'aube se devine Chanta, chanta deux chansons de marine
Puis il revint comme il était parti Bon pied, bon il, personne d'averti Aux dents, toujours la vive marguerite Aux yeux, toujours la flamme qui crépite
Fit au pays son adieu saugrenu Et s'en alla comme il était venu Fit au pays son adieu saugrenu Et s'en alla comme il était venu

Gestruikeld over wolfijzers en schietgeweren Legde Magda er het bijltje toen bij neer Zo moe van het vergaadren en tele-foneren Liet z alles achter om weer anders te gaan leven Maar vliegt den Aelvoet, dan is t storm op zee
Want al haar vrienden en collegas Waren in hele diepe rouw Omdat er geen alternatief was Voor zo een sterke, dappre vrouw
Want wie moest haar nu toch vervangen In zulk een aartsmoeilijke baan? En net toen ze zich aan een touw wilden verhangen Kwam hij er aan
En toen kwam jefke, jefke, jefke, je-ef-ke
Hij kwam en zag en overwon zijn angst voor dassen En ging in een kostuum naar het paleis De koning gaf hem daar een doos vol paperassen En zei Voilà dat is voor u, t gaat over Nepal Ons Magdake geraakt er niet uit wijs
Jefke sloeg toen aan t studeren En leerde snel in een twee drie dat automatische geweren bijdragen tot democratie
Hij riep toen: veni vidi vici! En op t ministerkabinet Heeft hij met onverschrokken moed de coalitie En t land gered
Tout Doucement ((Adapted from: To Know Him, Is to Love Him (The Teddy Bears) - 1958)) Composer(s): Phil Spector - André Salvet Performer(s): Michèle Torr - 1965
Tout doux, doux, doucement Il a pris mon cur d'enfant Et il m'a donné Ce dont je rêvais
Tout doux, doux, doucement Il a pris mon cur d'enfant Et je l'aime, oui, je l'aime Oui, je l'aime
Quand il vient vers moi Je ne sais pourquoi J'ai l'impression que tout va bien Et qu'il ne me manque vraiment plus rien
Oui, oui, tout doucement Il a pris mon cur d'enfant Et je l'aime, oui je l'aime Oui, je l'aime
Et si la chance Ne me quitte pas Un jour, il sera pour moi, Rien que pour moi Ah, ah !
Tout doux, doux, doucement Il a pris mon cur d'enfant Car il m'a donné Ce dont je rêvais
Tout doux, doux, doucement Il a pris mon cur d'enfant Et je l'aime, oui, je l'aime Oui, je l'aime
J'Effacerai De Ma Mémoire Composer(s): P. Groscolas; G. Thibaut Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
J'effacerai de ma mémoire Tout mes souvenirs d'enfant Depuis couper le cordon Jusqu'à ma première dent
J'effacerai de ma mémoire Mes souvenirs de jeunesse Depuis mes derniers boutons Jusqu'à ma première caresse
J'effacerai de ma memoire Depuis mon premier jour Jusqu'à la nuit qui vient Et dans le livre de mon histoire Les pages deviendront blanches Du début jusqu'au mot fin
J'effacerai de ma mémoire Tous me souvenirs d'amour Depuis mon dernier "je t'aime" Jusqu'à mon premier "toujours"
J'effacerai de ma mémoire Tous mes souvenirs d'hier Depuis mon premier poême Jusqu'à ma dernière guerre
J'effacerai de ma memoire Mes souvenirs de demain Et ma tête se videra Je serai fou, enfin
J'effacerai même ma mémoire Et le néant s'ouvrira Mais je ne t'oublierai pas J'y plongerai avec toi
To Know Him, Is to Love Him ((French Version: Tout Doucement (Michèle Torr) - 1965)) Composer(s): Phil Spector First release by: The Teddy Bears - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
To know, know, know him Is to love, love, love him Just to see him smile Makes my life worthwhile To know, know, know him Is to love, love, love him And I do (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) (And I do, and I...)
I'd be good to him I'd bring love to him Everyone says there'll come a day When I'll walk alongside of him Oh, Yes, yes to know him Is to love, love, love him And I do (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) (And I do, and I...)
Why can't he see? How blind can he be? Someday he will see That he was meant for me Hoh-oh, yes
To know, know, know him Is to love, love, love him Just to see him smile Makes my life worthwhile To know, know, know him Is to love, love, love him And I do (And I do, and I...) Ooo-ooo (And I do, and I...) Yes, I do (And I do, and I...)...
Someone's gonna see The way you look at me Someone's bound to notice How in love we seem to be Someone's gonna say That our last kiss Too far too long to say goodnight
But I don't care what people say (I don't care) I can't help feeling this way (I don't care) Let me stay Please let me stay
I won't let you down (I won't let you down) Or even make a sound (Even make a sound) I won't ask for anything Just let me be around I won't listen to them When they whisper things about you in my ear
But I don't care what people say (I don't care) I can't help feeling this way (I don't care) Let me stay Please let me stay
Someday wait and see (Someday wait and see) Bolder set you free (Bolder set you free) Someday we talked on the phone the way you used to be One day not too far away We'll show them we were right and they were wrong
For we don't care what people say (We don't care) We won't stop loving all day (We won't stop) We won't need, no, to hide away
Jef Composer(s): Jacques Brel Performer(s): Jacques Brel; and various other artists
Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais arrête de pleurer Comme ça devant tout le monde Parce qu'une demi-vieille Parce qu'une fausse blonde T'a relaissé tomber Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais tu sais que tu me fais honte A sangloter comme ça Bêtement devant tout le monde Parce qu'une trois quarts putain T'a claqué dans les mains Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais tu fais honte à voir Les gens se paient notre tête Foutons le camp de ce trottoir Allez viens Jef viens viens
{Refrain:} Viens il me reste trois sous On va aller se les boire Chez la mère Françoise Viens il me reste trois sous Et si c'est pas assez Ben il me restera l'ardoise Puis on ira manger Des moules et puis des frites Des frites et puis des moules Et du vin de Moselle Et si t'es encore triste On ira voir les filles Chez la madame Andrée Parait qu'y en a de nouvelles On rechantera comme avant On sera bien tous les deux Comme quand on était jeunes Comme quand c'était le temps Que j'avais de l'argent
Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais arrête tes grimaces Soulève tes cent kilos Fais bouger ta carcasse Je sais que t'as le cur gros Mais il faut le soulever Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais arrête de sangloter Arrête de te répandre Arrête de répéter Que t'es bon à te foutre à l'eau Que t'es bon à te pendre Non Jef t'es pas tout seul Mais c'est plus un trottoir ça devient un cinéma Où les gens viennent te voir Allez viens Jef viens viens
{Refrain}
Viens il me reste ma guitare Je l'allumerai pour toi Et on sera espagnols Comme quand on était mômes Même que j'aimais pas ça T'imiteras le rossignol Puis on se trouvera un banc On parlera de l'Amérique Où c'est qu'on va aller Quand on aura du fric Et si t'es encore triste Ou rien que si t'en as l'air Je te raconterai comment Tu deviendras Rockfeller On sera bien tous les deux On rechantera comme avant Comme quand on était beaux Comme quand c'était le temps D'avant qu'on soit poivrots
I Don't Blame You At All Composer(s): William Robinson Performer(s): Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no I'm only payin' the price for a trip I took to paradise 'Cause I looked into a pair of eyes And what I thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise Too bad I didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool I should've did it myself You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no I think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain Every bet I made was all in vain 'Cause what I thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain Too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool I should've did it myself You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool That's the thing to do You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no
I said, what I thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead Too bad that I got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool I should've did it myself You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool 'Cause that's the thing to do You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool No no no no no ...
Jeepster Composer(s): Marc Bolan Performer(s): Marc Bolan & T. Rex; and various other artists
You're so sweet, you're so fine I want you all and ev'rything just to be mine 'Cos you're my baby, 'cos you're my love Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love
You slide so good with bones so fair You've got the universe reclining in your hair 'Cos you're my baby, yes you're my love Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love
Just like a car you're pleasing to be hold I'll call you Jaguar if I may be so bold 'Cos you're my baby, 'cos you're my love Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love - oh
The wild winds blow upon your frozen cheeks The way you flip your hip it always makes me weak 'Cos you're my baby, 'cos you're my love Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love - oh

I Don't Believe In Miracles Composer(s): Russ Ballard Performer(s): Colin Blunstone and multiple other artists
I walk along the road and past your door Then I remember things you said I know in time we could've been so much more But if you wanna come back home, go right ahead
But I don't believe in miracles I don't believe in miracles But I thought you might show your face Or have the grace to tell me where you are
I believe I was your game, your ball (your ball) If you tossed me up then I would fall And so you've won again, ah, you win them all But I believe I'd run to you, if you should call
But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) But I thought you might show your face Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are)
I believe that somewhere there's someone Who's gonna light the way when things go wrong The bullet that shot me down came from your gun The words that turned me round were from your song
But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) But I thought you might show your face Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are)
But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles) But I thought you might show your face Or have the grace to tell me where you are
