Traqué Composer(s): Robert Gall - Florence Véran Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Voyez cet homme qui court, qui court Parmi la ville et les avenues Voyez cet homme qui court, qui court Parmi la ville, à cur perdu
Mais qu'a-t-il fait? A-t-il volé? A-t-il tué? Nul ne sait, nul ne sait, nul ne sait... Est-il traqué Par son passé Qui court après? Moi je sais, moi je sais, moi je sais...
Il court, il court en bousculant Sur son passage même les enfants Et toute la ville et tous les gens Lui montrent le poing en passant
Voyez cet homme qui court, qui court Parmi les rues et les avenues Voyez cet homme qui court, qui court Parmi la ville, à cur perdu
Ce qu'il a fait Il a tué... Pour qui? Pourquoi? Moi je sais, moi je sais, moi je sais... Il est traqué Et c'est chez moi Qu'on est venu le chercher, le chercher, le chercher...
Sa seule chance est de partir Et, comme un fou, il va s'enfuir Jusqu'à la fin Il va courir Peut-être bien Jusqu'à mourir... Jusqu'au grand fleuve Qui coule là-bas Jouant sa vie à pile ou face Et puis, mon Dieu, que le temps passe Mais cette histoire... ne regarde que moi... Que moi... Que moi... Que moi... Que moi...
I Nearly Let Love Go Slipping Through My Fingers Composer(s): Harry Woods Performer(s): Jessie Matthews and multiple other artists
I'm foolish, I'm silly I'm absolutely daft As a sailor on a sea of love I don't know half of half
Admit it, I'll have to Almost without defence And here's the proof I'm a silly goof Without a grain of common sense
I nearly let love go slipping through my fingers Oh yes, I did, I know I did
Like golden sand, right through my hand
But I woke in time And I saved my prize Yet though love is mine I tremble when I realise
I nearly let love go slipping through my fingers Oh, yes I did, foolishly For without love, where in this world would I be? For without love, where in this world would I be?
Trapped Again Composer(s): John Lyon - Bruce Springsteen - Steven Van Zandt Performer(s): Southside Johnny
Here I am baby, right where you found me Trying to break these chains that surround me If I look a little different, it's because I've changed Half-painted pictures are all that remains
I can't let my past mistakes Let 'em bring me down I ain't waitin' on no angel of mercy I've tried my best and I can't help myself
And I'm trapped again And I can't get out without losing you And I'm trapped again Why can't you feel what I'm going through I'm trapped again I need an answer girl, can't you see I'm trapped again Come and rescue me
Monday morning came so fast What a fool to think that dreams would last Close my eyes and it's still so clear Remember the night girl, the world disappeared
Can't let the hand of fate Let it drag me down I can't get no angel of mercy I came to stay but I got swept away
And I'm trapped again And I can't get out without losing you And I'm trapped again Why can't you feel what I'm going through I'm trapped again I need an answer girl, can't you see I'm trapped again Come and rescue me
Can't let the hand of fate Let it drag me down I can't get no angel of mercy I came to stay but I got swept away
And I'm trapped again And I can't get out without losing you And I'm trapped again Why can't you feel what I'm going through I'm trapped again I need an answer girl, can't you see I'm trapped again Come and rescue me
And I'm trapped again And I can't get out without losing you And I'm trapped again Why can't you feel what I'm going through I'm trapped again
Trapeze Composer(s): Jim Rodford Performer(s): Argent
Flying high Turning in space Indecision Faltering grace Baying crowd Blinding white light Upturned faces Shadows of night Trusted hands Catch me with ease Life's ambition Flying trapeze Ravaged dreams Sweat from my brow Free fall vision Dragging me down
Flying, sighing, headlong into dread Hoping, praying I'll find the path to tread
Spinning world Motion unreal Premonition Time will reveal Worthless years Passing me by Resolution Taking me high

Transit À Marilou Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Vroom vroom me voici rose zinc Avion fantôme hou hou Aéroplane vieux coucou Dont l'altimètre se déglingue C'est à peine si je distingue Les balises du terrain où Je me pose en casse-cou J'alanguis dans la nuit buccale Où je vais transiter un coup Serai-je chez les cannibales Une haleine de peppermint M'envahit le cockpit ding ding Je me sens vibrer la carlingue Se dresser mon manche à balou Dans la tour de contrôle en bout De piste une voix cunilingue Me fait "glou glou Je vous reçois cinq sur cinq" Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que ce trou Perdu suis-je en pays zoulou Mais non voyons suis-je dingue Je suis à Marilou
I Must Have That Man Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Vaughn De Leath and multiple other artists
Don't want my mammy, I don't need a friend My heart is broken, it won't ever mend I ain't much carin' just where I will end I must have that man
I'm like an oven that's cryin' for heat He treats me awful each time that we meet It's just unlawful how that boy can cheat But I must have that man
His heart is Hades A lady's not safe in his arms when she's kissed But I'm afraid that he's cooled off And maybe I'm ruled off his list
I'll never desist, I need that person Much worse'n just bad I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad He's only human, if he's to be had I must have that man

You packed in the morning and I Stared out the window and I Struggled for something to say You left in the rain Without closing the door I didn't stand in your way
But I miss you more than I Missed you before and now Where I'll find comfort, God knows 'Cause you left me Just when I needed you most
(Left me, just when I needed you most)
Now most every morning I Stare out the window and I Think about where you might be I've written you letters That I'd like to send If you would just send one to me
'Cause I need you more than I Needed before and now Where I'll find comfort, God knows 'Cause you left me Just when I needed you most
(Left me, just when I needed you most)
You packed in the morning I Stared out the window and I Struggled for something to say You left in the rain Without closing the door I didn't stand in your way
Now I love you more than I Loved you before and now Where I'll find comfort, God knows 'Cause you left me Just when I needed you most Oh, yeah You left me Just when I needed you most
Transistor Radio Composer(s): Benny Hill Performer(s): Benny Hill
My babys got a transistor radio She takes it everywhere we go She takes it when we go out a-walking Even to a movie show Well now, just last night, in the pale moonlight I asked her for a kiss But instead of hearing her whisper sweet words of love All that I could hear was this (Radio: 4 lines of high-pitched singing, sounding like Pinky & Perky)
I went round to the house where my baby lives To ask her for a date There I was, walking up the garden path Round about half past eight When I heard a sound, made my poor heart pound It stopped me in my stride I seemed to hear the voice of another guy Coming from inside
(Radio: Elvis take-off, singing I wonder if youre lonesome tonight - Maybe thats cause youre eleven feet tall And all the worlds a stage, I have often heard that said But I dont have a wooden heart I have a wooden head)
Id like to take her transistor radio And throw it in the deep blue sea Im so jealous of her transistor radio Cause it takes her mind off me I said, Oh baby, please be mine I want you for my own Tell me, is your love for somebody else? Or is it for me alone?
(Radio: Male presenting dance music requests from British Honduras, New Guinea, and British West Hartlepool)
I swore to her that I would always be true And love her all the while And oh, that oh so happy day I took her down the aisle Now, do you take this man to be your loving husband? The preacher softly said But he never heard you say, I do Cause this is what he heard instead
(Radio: Singing, Yeah, yeah You told me you were just eighteen on the telephone I thought that you meant eighteen years But you meant eighteen stone Big fat mama}
We went to spend our honeymoon down on the Island of Capri I found myself a very small hotel as quiet as could be But when I got up to our room upon our wedding night This is the sound that reached my ears As I switched out the light
(Wife) Darling? (Husband) Ere, wheres the radio? (Wife) Music he wants!
I Must Have Been Blind Composer(s): Tim Buckley First release by: Tim Buckley - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Here I am believin' words again Here I am tryin' to find your love again Here I am down on my knees again Prayin' for a love That we used to know
Both of us know How hard it is to love And let it go Both of us know How hard it is to go on living that way When so few understand what it means To fall in love And so few know how hard it is to live without it I must have been blind I must have been blind Lord, I must have been blind
To hold something real And not believe it To live in her life And never trustin' To give all you know and never feel it To hold back each day Until it dies away
Both of us know How hard it is to love And let it go Both of us know How hard it is to go on Living that way When so few undersand what it means To fall in love And so few know how hard it is to live without it I must have been blind I must have been blind Lord, I must have been blind
Just When Composer(s): Alan Rhody; Bill Caswell Performer(s): George Jones
Just when I learned how to dance, they changed the music Just when I learned how to sing, they changed the song Just when I learned how to love, you changed your mind, babe Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone
Just when love felt so right, I found I was wrong Just when I learned to trust, he came along Suddenly nothing I said made any difference Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone
You know that ol' lonesome world could But it can sure make you cry Oh, and a love I thought would last Ah, it's now just a thing of the past
Just when love felt so right, I found I was wrong Just when I learned to trust, he came along Suddenly nothing I said made any difference Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone
Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone
Transfusion Composer(s): Justin Drake First release: Nervous Norvus - 1956
Toolin' down the highway doin' seventy-nine I'm a twin-pipe poppa and I'm feelin' fine Hey man, dig that! Was that a red stop sign?
Transfusion, transfusion I'm just a solid mess of contusions Never, never, never gonna speed again Slip the blood to me, Bud
I jump in my rod about a quarter-to-nine I gotta make a date with that chick of mine I cross the centre-line, man you gotta make time
Transfusion, transfusion Oh man I got the cotton-pickin' convolutions I'm never, never, never gonna speed again Shoot the juice to me, Bruce
My foot's on the throttle and it's made of lead But I'm a fast-ridin' daddy with a real cool head I'm a-gonna pass a truck on the hill ahead
Transfusion, transfusion My red corpsuckles are in mass confusion Never, never, never gonna speed again Pour the crimson in me, Jimson
I took a little drink and I'm a-feeling right I can fly right over everything, everything in sight There's a slow-pokin' cat, I'm gonna pass him on the right
Transfusion, transfusion I'm a real gone paleface and that's no illusion I'm a-never, never, never gonna speed again Pass the claret to me, Barrett
A-rollin' down the mountain on a rainy day Oh when you see me comin' better start to pray I'm a-cuttin' up the road and I'm the boss all the way
Transfusion, transfusion Oh Doc, pardon me for this crazy intrusion I'm never, never, never gonna speed again Pump the fluid in me, Louis
I'm burnin' up the freeway a-early this morn' And I'm passin' everyone, oh nothin' but corn Man out of my way, I don't drive on my horn
Transfusion, transfusion Oh Nurse, I'm gonna make a new resolution I'm never, never, never gonna speed again Put a gallon in me, Alan
Oh barnyard drivers are found in two classes Blind crowding hogs and speeding jackasses So remember to slow down today
I Must Go Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham; Gordon Fordyce Performer(s): Lindsey Buckingham
I've been trying just to get to you Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone I just can't seem to get through Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone You leave in the morning but you don't come back Hey little girl, leaving me all alone Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
I've been waiting, contemplating Now I know If you're aching, heart is breaking Let the forewinds blow
And this is why I must go Why I must go Why I must go Why I must go I must go
You just can't choose between the lie and the fact Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
I've been waiting, contemplating Now I know If you're aching, heart is breaking Let the forewinds blow
And this is why I must go Why I must go Why I must go Why I must go I must go
And this is why I must go Why I must go Why I must go Why I must go I must go
And this is why I must go Why I must go Why I must go Why I must go I must go
And this is why I must go Why I must go Why I must go Why I must go I must go
