Too Much Heaven Composer(s): Robin Gibb - Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb First release: Bee Gees - 1978
Nobody gets too much heaven no more It's much harder to come by I'm waiting in line Nobody gets too much love anymore It's as high as a mountain And harder to climb
Oh you and me girl Got a lot of love in store And it flows through you And it flows through me And I love you so much more Then my life... I can see beyond forever Ev'rything we are will never die Loving's such a beautiful thing Oh you make my world... a summer day Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more It's much harder to come by I'm waiting in line Nobody gets too much love anymore It's as high as a mountain And harder to climb
You and me girl got a highway to the sky We can turn away from the night and day And the tears you had to cry You're my life... I can see a new tomorrow Ev'rything we are will never die Loving's such a beautiful thing When you are to me, the light above Made for all to see our presious love
Nobody gets too much heaven no more It's much harder to come by I'm waiting in line Nobody gets too much love anymore It's as high as a mountain And harder to climb
Love is such a beautiful thing You make my world a summer day Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more It's much harder to come by I'm waiting in line Nobody gets too much love anymore It's as high as a mountain And harder to climb
Nobody gets too much love anymore It's as wide as a river and harder to cross
Nobody gets too much heaven no more It's much harder to come by I'm waiting in line Nobody gets too much love anymore It's as high as a mountain And harder to climb (repeat)...

Juke-Box Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
J'écrivais des chansons sur le coin d'un juke-box Tirant sur un gazon qu'avait rien d'orthodoxe Je balançais mes mots de cuir et de charbon Vivant à fleur de peau dans mes contradictions
Tous les bourgeois frileux ont transformé nos mots En ont fait des jingles rétros pour les radios Ont rachetés nos cuirs, nos motos, nos surins Et nos copeaux bleutés vont finir chez Cardin
J'aurais voulu t'écrire une chanson d'amour Pleine de bons sentiments, de départs, de retours Enrobée de violons et de churs et d'échos 'Fin bref une chanson qui passe à la radio
Quand ton meilleur copain finit par te braquer Tout ce que t'avais gardé pour le froid et l'angoisse S'en va sur le chemin du brown et du sucré Et tu restes tout seul les deux pieds dans la crasse
Moi je dis qu'y a qu'les putes qui peuvent savoir aimer Les yeux de l'intérieur sont faits d'eau et de foudre Tu sais vraiment quelque chose quand t'as tout déréglé Les discours, les dollars, la musique et la poudre
J'aurais voulu t'écrire une chanson d'amour Pleine de bons sentiments, de départs, de retours Enrobée de violons et d'échos et de churs 'Fin bref une chanson branchée sur le secteur
Je ne suis pas un chef, je n'sais pas marcher droit C'est pourquoi camarade tu peux tirer ta ligne Je chanterai toujours pour mes copains d'en bas Ceux que je reconnais sans un mot, sans un signe
C'est sûr on m'descendra un beau jour pour la frime Pour une façon de voir, pour une question bénigne Je s'rais rééduqué par des curés new-look Armés de pataugas, de parkas et de boucs
J'aurais voulu t'écrire une chanson d'amour Pleine de bons sentiments, de départs, de retours Enrobée de violons et de churs et d'échos 'Fin bref une chanson qui passe à la radio
Si j'ai fait le tour de la Terre Tu peux pas dire que j'en suis fier Je suis pourri jusqu'à la moelle Qui veut me vendre un idéal
Et je zone dans les bars de nuit Tu te retournes dans ton lit Bien au chaud dans ton alvéole Tu branches ma cire et tu décolles
Tu sais le soleil est moins chaud Y a du grisou dans le tempo Tu m'aimes vraiment mais tu as peur Tu tires toujours en amateur
You look just like somebody that I, used to know Some old flame I could not handle, so long ago Everything about you looks like, heart over mind Youre just too much candy for a dime
Youre just, too much candy for a dime, aint no way I can look into those eyes of yours, and walk away You think I would know better, but I fall every time Youre just too much candy for a dime
So dance with me and tell me how you, think it could be I cant read your mind so tell me what you, want out of me Youre too good to be true, but then I know, one more time Youre just too much candy for a dime
Youre just, too much candy for a dime, aint no way I can look into those eyes of yours, and just walk away You think I would know better, but I fall every time Youre just too much candy for a dime Youre just too much candy for a dime
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah Youre just too much candy for a dime Youre just too much candy for a dime Youre just too much candy for a dime
I Just Keep Falling In Love Composer(s): Steve Goodman; Bill LaBounty Performer(s): Nicolette Larson and multiple other artists
You want me to leave Well maybe your right You had what it was that you wanted tonight
Now you like the party But after the ball You wanna be free To feel nothing at all
And I just keep falling in love I should know better And I don't know better How could one night be enough I just keep falling in love
Wanna tell me I'm crazy Now maybe that's true I can't hide the way That I feel about you So why should I wonder Why nobody cares Here in the sad state A casual affair
I just keep falling in love I should know better And I don't know better How could one night be enough I just keep falling Just keep falling I just keep falling in love I should know better And I dont know better How could one night be enough I just keep falling Just keep falling
How could one night be enough I just keep falling in love
Juif Et Dieu Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Maurice Garrel
Et si Dieu était juif ça t'inquiéterait petite
Sais-tu que le Nazaréen N'avait rien d'un Aryen Et s'il est fils de Dieu comme vous dites Alors
Dieu est Juif Juif et Dieu
Le Capital tu as lu de l'Israélite Karl Marx un beau bouquin Et le trio bolchevik la troïka des purs eh bien Tous trois de race sémite Je te le prouverai tout à l'heure
Dieu est Juif Juif et Dieu
Grigori Ievseîetch Apfelbaum dit Zionoviev Lev Borissovitch Rosenfeld dit Kamenev Lev Davidovitch Bronstein dit Trotsky
Dieu est Juif Juif et Dieu
Voici le temps de l'Antéchrist La bombe à neutrons hein Petite fille de papa Einstein Encore un juif si tu vois ce que je veux dire petite
You walked in my life, with an angel's smile How could I have known, the hunger locked inside We can start a fire, but we can't control the flame Now I just can't wait, to feel that heat again And in the middle of the night you cry...
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me I got a burning heart Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
Just seems like yesterday, I was running alone I turned my back on love, but baby I was wrong Do I miss your touch, do I tell myself a lie Can't get enough, when I'm lying by your side And in the middle of the night I cry...
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me I got a burning heart Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
Shadows moving on the wall Slowly we begin to fall Lying in a pool of sweat Another night I can't forget
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me I got a burning heart Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
I Just Have To Breathe Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick and multiple other artists
There are things that I did long ago That I don't do anymore We grow out of things Each day is different than the day before And yet to love you I just have to breathe
There are needs we have when we are young And discard as we mature Time can change so much The only certain thing is nothing's sure And yet to love you I just have to breathe
It's not an easy place This world we face But I'll face anything As long as that warm morning sun Will always bring me you
There's a time for everything we do When it's over we move on Just true love remains And I'll still love you when all else is gone For me to love you I just have to breathe
In this world where nothing stays the same Stay with me
Juicy Lucy Composer(s): John Woloschuck Performer(s): Klaatu
My Juicy Lucy, you're so exciting Eyes of blue and hair of lightning You jet around in your Chrome atomic platform shoes I'm so in love with you My Juicy Lucy
You spend your evenings with Alexander That fire-breathing salamander Who sings the blues And plays electric guitar too
Lucy kissed me and she said, "Can't you?" I said "No," but I was willing to Love you with all my might Though a million nights Wouldn't be enough it's true 'Cause Juicy Lucy, I'm so in love with you It's the way you rock'n'roll You're too too much, you're too too much You're too too much my Juicy Lucy
Oh! Lucy kissed me and she said, "Can't you?" I said "No," but I was willing to Love you with all my might Though a million nights Wouldn't be enough it's true 'Cause Juicy Lucy, I'm so in love with you It's your chrome-atomic platform shoes Won't you let me get my boots on too And we'll sail across the sky so blue Ah, look out sky, here we come! My Juicy Lucy
Too Much Composer(s): Lee Rosenberg - Bernard Weinman First release: Bernard Hardison - 1955
Honey, I love you too much Need your lovin' too much Want the thrill of your touch Gee, I can't hold you too much You do all the livin' While I do all the givin' 'Cause I love you, too much
You spend all my money, too much Have to share you honey, too much When I want some lovin', you're gone Don't you know you're treatin' me wrong Now you got me started Don't you leave me broken hearted 'Cause I love you, too much
Ev'ry time I kiss your sweet lips I can feel my heart go flip flip I'm such a fool for your charms Take me back baby in your arms Like to hear you sighin' Even though I know you're lyin' 'Cause I love you, too much
Need your lovin' all the time Need you huggin', please be mine Need you near me, stay real close Please, please, hear me, you're the most Now you got me started Don't you leave me broken hearted 'Cause I love you too much
I Just Found Out Composer(s): Paul Burlison; Johnny Burnette; Dorsey Burnette; Al Mortimer Performer(s): Johnny Burnette and multiple other artists
I just found out, some things I thought of you I-I never dreamed, that they were true I-I-I just found out, that you were leavin' me I-I never dreamed, that it would be I prayed to God to send her love to me When deep inside this love would never be I just found out, that you was cheatin' me I-I-I never dreamed, that it could be
I prayed to God to send her love to me When deep inside this love could not be I-I just found out, that you were cheatin' me I-I-I never dreamed that it could be
Jugband Blues Composer(s): Syd Barrett Performer(s): Pink Floyd; Eden
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear That I'm not here And I never knew we could be so thick And I never knew the moon could be so blue And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red And I'm wondering who could be writing this song
I don't care if the sun don't shine And I don't care if nothing is mine And I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving in the winter
And the sea isn't green And I love the queen And what exactly is a dream And what exactly is a joke
I Just Fall In Love Again Composer(s): Steve Dorff / Larry Herbstritt / Gloria Sklerov / Harry Lloyd) Performer(s): Anne Murray and multiple other artists
Dreamin', I must be dreamin' or am I really lyin' here with you? Baby, you take me in your arms and though I'm wide awake I know my dream is comin' true
And, oh, I just fall in love again just one thought and then it happens every time And there I go, I just fall in love again and when I do can't help myself I fall in love with you
Magic, it must be magic the way I hold you and the night just seems to fly Easy for you to take me to a star Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes (chorus)
Jug Of Punch Composer(s): Francis McPeake Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers
Oh one pleasant evening in the month of June As I was sitting with my glass and spoon A small bird sat on an ivy bush And the song it sang was the Jug of Punch
Chorus:
Too-ra loo-ra loo, too-ra loo-ra loo Too-ra loo-ra loo, too-ra loo-ra loo A small bird sat on an ivy bush And the song it sang was the Jug of Punch
What more diversion can a man desire Than to be seated by a snug coal fire Upon his knee a pretty wench Aye and on the table a jug of punch
Chorus
If I were sick and very bad And was not able to go or stand I would not think it all amiss To pledge my shoes for a jug of punch
Chorus
The doctor fails with all his art To cure an impression on the heart But if life was gone, within an inch What would bring it back but a jug of punch
Chorus
But when I'm dead and in my grave No costly tombstone will I crave Just lay me down in my native heath With a jug of punch at my head and feet
Too Many Times Composer(s): Anthony McShear - Scott Page - Micheal Smotherman Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley
Rivalries between sons and fathers Caused me to hurt that Dad of mine How I'd love to bring him back and say I'm sorry But the world has turned too many times
Tension between friends and lovers Can cause you to go over the line How I'd love to call some up and talk it over But the world has turned too many times
Oh, too many times I felt I should be freer And too many times I ended up alone Oh, too many times I tried to prove them all a liar When they said you can never go home
A vow we take when we say forever Left unattended just dies on the vine Now I wonder if forever wonders ever If the world has turned too many times
Oh, too many times I felt I should be freer And too many times I ended up alone Oh, too many times I tried to prove them all a liar When they said I will never go home
Tensions between friends and lovers Make you feel like you're losing your mind What I'd give to rewind and start all over But the world has turned too many times
Rivalries do not breed loyalty Rivalries do not breed loyalty (Keep turning me, oh, too many times) (Round and round and round too many times)
Juego Que Me Regaló Un 6 De Enero Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Soy ciudadano del amor llevo dogal de belleza entre la hombrera y la cabeza entre rodilla y cinturón Haciendo crítica social me perfumé de valiente creyeron que era disidente y no era más que natural
Martí me habló de la amistad y creo en él cada día aunque la cruda economía ha dado luz a otra verdad
El mundo tiene la razón puesta en el pan, en el diario ese señor rudimentario que nos dará la absolución
Ciega la vida nueva es como un verso al revés como un amor por descifrar como un Dios en edad de jugar Trino vete al destino, al punto que será final juega a lo que no jugué y canta que aunque sin rey mago sigo en pie
Seguro estoy requete mal debo sufrir algo extraño pues ni la hiel ni el desengaño me dan canción de funeral
El fin de siglo trae la sien cebada de pudredumbre como invitándome a una lumbre que prenderá quien ame bien
Bendito el tiempo que me dio una canción sin permiso Bendito sea el paraíso algo infernal que me parió
El día del Armagedón no quiero estar tras la puerta sino soñando bien alerta donde esté a salvo de perdón
Ciega la vida nueva es como un verso al revés como un amor por descifrar como un Dios en edad de jugar Trino vete al destino, al punto que será final juega a lo que no jugué y canta que aunque sin rey mago sigo en pie
Too Many Tears Composer(s): Harry Warren - Al Dubin Performer(s): Dick Powell and multiple other artists
To have a good old fashioned cry Once in a while Isn't so bad For when you've had that little cry Then you can smile You can be glad But when there's too much sorrow You know that there is bound to be
Too many tears Each night I go to bed I lay awake and shed Too many tears Your memory Is bringing me Too many tears Too many years I wasted loving you And you know I was true Too many years I cared a lot What have I got? Too many tears I know I should have found a new love And don't you think I didn't try But I found out a "number two" love Never seems to satisfy I'll never learn To smile again and sing I gave you ev'rything And in return What did you leave for souvenirs? Too many tears
I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You Composer(s): Colin Hay Performer(s): Colin Hay; Wes Wingate
I drink good coffee every morning Comes from a place that's far away And when I'm done I feel like talking Without you here there is less to say I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy What is closer to the truth That if I lived till I was 102 I just don't think I'll ever get over you I'm no longer moved to drink strong whisky 'Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs I just don't think I'll ever get over you Your face it dances and it haunts me Your laughter's still ringing in my ears I still find pieces of your presence here Even after all these years But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner 'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do Even though I may soon feel the touch of love I just don't think I'll ever get over you If I lived till I was 102 I just don't think I'll ever get over you
