Allting går igen ur tidens grums och mögel dyker upp ett skrämmande fantom Även Grekland hade sina Wandervögel fostrade i Sparta och i Rom Ur seklers skuggor ur årtusens damm ett mystiskt spöke i nutiden glider fram
Det är den ökända hästen från Troja moderniserad till femte kolonn Majoren Quisling är en papegoja som imiterar så gott han har förstånn Vi äro synbart blott fredliga pågar med grekisk rakborste uti vår hatt men i ett huj dra vi fram våra bågar och storma Troja från insidan "by natt" Ty det Europa som högljutt hörs hoja att makt är rätt har nu fått sin symbol Det är den ökända hästen från Troja som alltjämt spelar sin gamla hjälteroll
Bland de vilda hästar som har galopperat på fru Clios rännarbana är den trojanska hästen som sig minst generat för att lyfta svansen här och där I världsmanegen politikerna som dumma Augustar står i parad - hurra!
Det är den ökända hästen från Troja som sluppit ut ur historiens stall I ryttargången sig statsmännen oja en del ha socker i fickorna ifall att hästen skulle va´ möjlig att tämja det är en högst neutral politik Vi svenskar umgås med kraken i sämja han går numera i reguljär trafik I vissa tidningar säger man: "Nå ja på rätt vi håller - men helst på rätt häst" Och för den ökända hästen från Troja står odds i dessa dagar onekligen bäst
Där Akilles fann terrängen ändå "lavre" skena hästen in med stor succé ty han börja längta efter att få le Havre innan han blev inställd på musée Men femte ben rusa hästen åstad om jag ej feltolkar grekernas Iliad
Så av den ökända hästen från Troja drogs Marskalk Fochs gamla vagn till Berlin Till fots gick ledaren på "Avenoja" de l´Opera - och kom fram till Invali´n Han sa god dag till Napoleon Boná som lär ha vänt sig i sin sarkofag och frågat: "Tänker monsieur ´Rubiconna´ och gå på vattnet? Det kunde inte jag" Då svara Adolf: "Tja, utan att skoja det är ej jag som ta´t in denna by Det är den ökända hästen från Troja som just nu släcker sin törst uti Vichy"
Under Gustaf Adolfs och Kung Karols dagar stredo svenskarna i eld och köld Svea Rike styrdes efter egna lagar och ett lejon bar det i sin sköld En igelkott bli´t symbol för vårt lann´ men jag vet en som är mer aktuell och sann
Det är den ökända hästen från Troja en av demokraterna sadlad och skodd En samlingskrake för slott och koja med stora skygglappar, rädd att bli beglodd Vårt gamla lejon blev fort pensionerat när "Hesa Fredrik" för första gång tjöt Av Bagge blev det till får ondulerat det utav Rütger fick essen, stackars nöt Men har det snart ej gått upp för de loja i hela världen - båd´ fattig och pamp att det är den ökända hästen från Troja som hela tiden har kallats för Min Kamp
I Refuse Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): The Cars
Everything's heaven sent That's what you said and went Inisde your fairy glass Is something you think will last And when they crop you like a clown You got your smile on upside down
Baby I refuse You can pick or choose Find somebody else to use 'Cause I refuse to come along
Everything's on a whim That's what you said to him Lying in wunderlust Are feelings you never trust And when they pamper you with ice I can't believe you don't think twice
Baby I refuse You can pick or choose Find somebody else to use 'Cause I refuse to come along
Everyone makes the play With nothing much left to say All in an endless line Waiting for equal time They keep screaming it's the truth And you keep kneeling in the booth
Baby I refuse You can pick or choose Find somebody else to use 'Cause I refuse to come along
Easy Money Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
You don't have to talk all night I'm a man who can't say no You don't have to twist my arm Just point me where you want to go Take me to the action Take me to the track Take me to a party if they're bettin' in the back I've been working all my life Can't afford to wait Let me call my wife so I can tell her I'll be late
I want the easy Easy money Easy money I could get lucky Oh, things could go right
I want the easy Easy money Easy money Maybe this one time Maybe tonight
You don't have to try too hard I don't need a song and dance I don't need an invitation If you've got a game of chance
Take me to the tables Take me to the fights Run me like the numbers Roll me like the dice
When you're counting on a killing Always count me in Talk me into losin' just as long as I can win
I want the easy Easy money Easy money I want the good times Oh, I never had
I want the easy Easy money I want the good life I want it bad
Easy money You say I fool myself But better me than being a fool for someone else I got a hot slot machine of a system Ready to go
Easy money I got a one-track mind And a good reputation laying on the line I'll either come back a bum or a king Baby I don't know
You don't have to start a fight I'm a man who can't say no If you've got a little risky business Just point me where you want to go
Take me to the power Take me to the heat Take me to the cleaners If it's open to the street
Something's got to pay off Something's got to break Someone's got a fortune that they're begging Me to take
I want the easy Easy money Easy money I could get lucky Things could go right
I want the easy Easy money Easy money Maybe just this time Oh maybe tonight
Easy money Oh I don't want no hard cash I just want the easy money I could get lucky
Troisièmes Couteaux Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers - Georges Baux Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Devant nous l'an 2000 Quelques heures nous séparent N'en parlez pas m'a-t-on dit Et pourtant ce silence a comme un balancement maudit Qui vous met la pendule à l'heure C'est le moment, c'est pas trop tôt Pour parler des troisièmes couteaux
Ils ne font rien, ils se situent Ils sont consultants ambigus Des hydres multinationales Pas de nom, que des initiales Ils ont de grands ordinateurs Poules de luxe, hommes de paille Requins, banquiers, simples canailles Pas de nom et pas de photo Leurs sociétés sont étrangères Plus compliqué est le réseau Qui les relie à leurs affaires
Il était grand, il était beau Il sentait bon son Lugano Mon gestionnaire
Justement près de Lugano Etait la banque Ambrosiano Là où les vierges vaticanes Faisaient fructifier leur magot Loge P2 dans ses arcanes A deux massifs cardinaux Pour les consultations diaphanes Avec de joyeux mafiosos Le fameux compte à numéro Passe de Zurich à Lausanne De Bâle à Londres, près de Soho Rencontra le troisième couteau
Il était chauve, il était gros Il portait des fringues de chez Smalto Mon mercenaire
Les politiques, drôles d'oiseaux Prennent toujours pour plan de vol Les bulletins de la météo Ils vont toujours où il fait beau Il fait beau dans les audimats Dans les sondages du Figaro Il fait très beau chez la misère Et dans les uvres humanitaires Il fait beau sur les droits de l'homme Il fait beau chez l'intégration Le plein emploi, l'immigration On se les gèle dans le pognon
Politiquement leurs idéaux Sont très ciblés sur deux critères Entre Mad Max et l'abbé Pierre
Pas de nom et pas de photo Leurs sociétés sont étrangères Plus étonnant est le réseau Qui les réunit entre frères Ils ne font rien, ils se situent Ils prennent, ils se gavent, ils se tuent Trivialité derrière les mots La réussite dans les crocs Ils sont là à tous les niveaux C'est le règne des troisièmes couteaux
Dansez Sur Moi Adapted from: Girl Talk - 1965 Composer(s): Neal Hefti; Bobby Troup; Claude Nougaro Performer(s): Claude Nougaro - 1973 and multiple other artists
Dansez sur moi Dansez sur moi Le soir de vos fiançailles Dansez dessus mes vers luisants Comme un parquet de Versailles Embrassez-vous, enlacez-vous Ma voix vous montre la voie La Voie lactée, la voie clarté Où les pas ne pèsent pas
Dansez sur moi Dansez sur moi Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi dansez sur moi Qui tourne comme un astre Etrennez-vous, étreignez-vous Pour que vos curs s'encastrent Tel un tapis, tapis volant Je me tapis sous vos pieds C'est pour vous tous que sur mes doigts La nuit je compte mes pieds
Dansez sur moi Dansez sur moi Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi Dansez sur moi Le soir de mes funérailles Que la vie soit feu d'artifice Et la mort un feu de paille Un chant de cygne s'est éteint Mais un autre a cassé l'uf Sous un saphir en vrai saphir Miroite mon sillon neuf

Trois Petites Notes De Musique Composer(s): Henri Colpi - Georges Delerue Performer(s): Yves Montand and multiple other artists
Trois petites notes de musique Ont plié boutique Au creux du souvenir C'en est fini de leur tapage Elles tournent la page Et vont s'endormir
Mais un jour sans crier gare Elles vous reviennent en mémoire
Toi, tu voulais oublier Un p'tit air galvaudé Dans les rues de l'été Toi, tu n'oublieras jamais Une rue, un été Une fille qui fredonnait
La, la, la, la, je vous aime Chantait la rengaine La, la, mon amour Des paroles sans rien de sublime Pourvu que la rime Amène toujours
Une romance de vacances Qui lancinante vous relance
Vrai, elle était si jolie Si fraîche épanouie Et tu ne l'as pas cueillie Vrai, pour son premier frisson Elle t'offrait une chanson A prendre à l'unisson
La, la, la, la, tout rêve Rime avec s'achève Le tien n'rime à rien Fini avant qu'il commence Le temps d'une danse L'espace d'un refrain
Trois petites notes de musique Qui vous font la nique Du fond des souvenirs Lèvent un cruel rideau de scène Sur mille et une peines Qui n'veulent pas mourir
I Really Loved Harold Composer(s): Melanie First release by: Melanie - 1968
They told me when I was little I'd go to heaven, if I was good Now I'm a long way from little 'Cause I tried to find heaven, 'cause I thought that I could I thought that I could And I thought I loved Harold and I really loved John I really loved Alphy and I almost loved Tom I loved them so easy and I loved them so free So I don't think that heaven will wanna love me
Hallo, song of the willow The dreams under my pillow turned to tears that I cried Beauty and love are our riddle Never to answer but always to try And boy, did I try? I tried with Harold and I tried with John I tried with Alphy and almost with Tom I left myself open for the whole world to see Now the world is the heaven that won't accept me
I said goodbye to Harold and goodbye to John Goodbye to Alphy and goodbye to Tom 'Cause I loved them so easy and I loved them so free So I don't think that heaven will wanna love me Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light No light will shine on me?

What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time When the only people that existed were troglodytes Cave men, cave women, Neanderthal, troglodytes Let's take the average cave man at home, listening to his stereo Sometimes he'd get up, try to do his thing He'd begin to move, something like this: 'dance... dance' When he got tired of dancing alone, he'd look in the mirror Gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman He'd go down to the lake where all the woman would be swimming Or washing clothes or something He'd look around and just reach in and grab one Come here... come here, he'd grab her by the hair You can't do that today, fellas, cause it might come off You'd have a piece of hair in your hand And she'd be swimming away from you (ha-ha) This one woman just lay there, wet and frightened He said: move... move, she got up, she was a big woman Big woman, her name was Bertha, Bertha Butt She was one of the Butt sisters, he didn't care He looked up at her and said Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me! She looked down on him She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him She said: I'll sock it to ya, Daddy, he said: wha? She said: I'll sock it to ya, Daddy You know what he said? He started it way back then I wouldn't lie to you, when she said I'll sock it to ya, Daddy', he said Right on! Right on! Hotpants! Hotpants! Ugh... ugh... ugh
I Do Really Love You Composer(s): Chuck Berry Performer(s): Chuck Berry
It's you I'm in love with It's not what you are It's not how you treat me Or your fancy car But there's something about you I keep yearning for I, I do really love you
Just thinking about you Gives me such a thrill Let alone to be with you or know that I will And know that I'll tremble When I should be still Um, um, I, I do really love you
Give me what I live for Your sweet lips pressed to me And transform this yearning into ecstasy And send me, oh, send me - most humbly Um, um, I, I do really love you
