L'opportuniste Composer(s): Jacques Dutronc - Anne France Segalen - Jacques Lanzmann First release by: Jacques Dutronc - 1968
Je suis pour le communisme Je suis pour le socialisme Et pour le capitalisme Parce que je suis opportuniste
Il y en a qui contestent Qui revendiquent et qui protestent Moi je ne fais qu'un seul geste Je retourne ma veste, je retourne ma veste Toujours du bon côté
Je n'ai pas peur des profiteurs Ni même des agitateurs J'fais confiance aux électeurs Et j'en profite pour faire mon beurre
Il y en a qui contestent Qui revendiquent et qui protestent Moi je ne fais qu'un seul geste Je retourne ma veste, je retourne ma veste Toujours du bon côté
Je suis de tous les partis Je suis de toutes les partys Je suis de toutes les cauteries Je suis le roi des convertis
Il y en a qui contestent Qui revendiquent et qui protestent Moi je ne fais qu'un seul geste Je retourne ma veste, je retourne ma veste Toujours du bon côté
Je crie vive la révolution Je crie vive les institutions Je crie vive les manifestations Je crie vive la collaboration
Non jamais je ne conteste Ni revendique ni ne proteste Je ne sais faire qu'un seul geste Celui de retourner ma veste, de retourner ma veste Toujours du bon côté
Je l'ai tellement retournée Qu'ell' craqu' de tous côtés À la prochain' révolution Je retourn' mon pantalon
Mysterious Woman Composer(s): John Farry First performance by: Marc Roberts - 1997
I saw you at an airport Ticket in your hand I got a feeling in my heart I didn't understand
Something in the way you were Something foreign in your eyes Made me wish that I could share One moment of your life
Mysterious woman I wonder, did you see The kind of spell you put on me? Mysterious woman I wish I could find the key To the kind of spell you put on me
The room was full of faces But you stood out from the crowd People going places Far away beyond the clouds Were you from the streets of Paris Or the coast of Italy? Or were you from as far away As the gulf of Araby?
Mysterious woman I wonder, did you see The kind of spell you put on me? Mysterious woman I wish I could find the key To the kind of spell you put on me
Did I imagine you smiled Or were my thoughts going wild?
Suddenly you were going The speaker called your plane There was no way of knowing If I'd ever see you again
But this brief, so brief encounter Will always stay with me I will always treasure The bittersweet memory
Mysterious woman I wonder, did you see The kind of spell you put on me? Mysterious woman It'll always be a mystery The kind of spell you put on me
Långt där ner i Västindien låg jag och solade mest hela dagen Vit som snö är min kind igen men jag har röda små märken på magen Vart tog den stygga lilla lopppan vägen? Ingen som vet, ingen som vet Vart tog den stygga lilla lopppan vägen? Ingen som vet, ingen som vet
I Karibiens kärleksdikt sökte jag nog amoriner i palmen Men där lade man större vikt vid vissa väsen som vistas i halmen Vart tog den stygga ...
Med ett sånt litet kärleksbud håller sig där varje redliger deja Ifrån en till en annan hud hoppar dom kvickt innan man hunnit säja Vart tog den stygga ...
Töserna i Montego Bay tyckte jag dansade stel som en sticka Men jag tror att dom andra sej när som jag hade vatt där blott en "vicka" Vart tog den stygga ...
Jag blev stoppad vid Bromma tull, tullinspektören var bister den kvällen Plötsligt kasta' han sej omkull och klia och klöste på alla de ställen Vart tog den stygga ...
Inspektörskan mig pinglat har, tackat och bockat och nigit i luren "Gustav har blitt en rivig karl sedan han träffade Herr Trubaduren"
Looking Forward Looking Back Composer(s): Don Walker Performer(s): Slim Dusty
Looking forward, looking back Ive come a long way down the track Got a long way left to go Making songs, from what I know
Making sense of what Ive seen All the love weve had between You and I, along the track Looking forward, looking back
There are strange days Full of change on the way But well be fine, unlike some Ill be leaning forward, to see whats coming
Looking forward, looking back Ive come a long way down the track Got a long way left to go Making songs, from what I know
If Im alone at night, I can see Through all the triviality Of the day and Im okay I just think of those who are dear to me
Looking forward, looking back Ive come a long way down the track Got a long way left to go Making songs, from what I know Making songs, from what I know Looking forward, looking back ...

Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon J'étais tout seul à la maison Mes parents, pour un soir Étaient allés voir un opéra J'en avais pour un bon moment Ça n'arrivait pas si souvent C'était comme une trêve C'était comme un rêve, comme l'opéra J'étais dans un château fort J'avais une épée en or Je me battais comme un fou par amour pour vous Je me battais comme un roi par amour pour toi
Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon Mes paroles étaient des chansons Il n'y avait ni tambour Ni baryton pour mon opéra Mais dans mon imagination Il y avait dix mille violons Qui jouaient ma victoire Faisaient de ma gloire un opéra J'étais dans un château fort J'avais une épée en or Je me battais comme un fou, rendant coup sur coup Je me prenais pour un roi par amour pour toi
Et devant l'enfant que j'étais Toute la maison devenait Une scène, un décor Et c'était alors mon opéra Je m'endormais sur les trois coups Qui n'étaient peut-être, après tout Qu'un volet qui battait Quand ils revenaient de l'opéra Mais j'étais dans mon château fort Et j'avais mon épée en or Je me battais comme un fou par amour pour vous Je me battais comme un roi par amour pour toi
Je n'étais qu'un petit garçon J'étais tout seul à la maison Mes parents, pour un soir Étaient allés voir un opéra
Looking For Yesterday Composer(s): Eddie DeLange - Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Woody Herman and multiple other artists
Looking for yesterday Most any day I spent with you One yesterday when I still had a laugh or two One dance to our fav'rite tune Then to our fav'rite lane Who cares if there is no moon Or we're drenched with rain
Looking for yesterday Before you wrapped the sun in clouds One yesterday before I hid away in crowds My heart lives in misery Always a stone in its shoe Looking for yesterday and you
Dentro Di Me First performance by: Barbara Berta - 1997
Uomo, guardati dentro, cosa ti scuote E ti fa sentire un po' perso In questo enorme universo Fatto di tante
Troppe parole dette per dire Mai per capire, cosa ti spinge lontano Da quel che è portata di mano Ma irraggiungibile
Dentro di me faccio spazio perché Dentro di me, ho bisogno di te Dentro di me, dentro di me Tengo un posto per te Che hai bisogno di me Hai bisogno di me
Uomo, apri la mente Non esitare a scoprirti nel bene e nel male Anche gli errori hanno il loro valore Aiutano a crescere
Dentro di me faccio spazio perché (perché) Dentro di me ho bisogno di te Dentro di me, dentro di me Tengo un posto per te Che hai bisogno di me
Dentro di me prendo fiato perché Dentro di me ho corso fino da te Dentro di me, dentro di me Io ti voglio per sé Sei diverso da me Sei diverso da me
Uomo, quanti misfatti Quali ragioni, ci spingono tanto lontano Quando a portata di mano Hai l'incredibile
Loose Talk Composer(s): Freddie Heart - Ann Lucas First release by: Freddie Heart - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
So long we've been married Life's burdens we carried Though faith kept us humble and made our love true But plans that we make up Someone seems to break up Oh, darlin', what else can we do?
We may have to leave here To find peace of mind, dear Someplace where we can live a life of our own I know you love me And happy we could be If some folks would leave us alone
When I go out walkin' There's lots of loose talkin' They say we're unhappy, and we'll drift apart But darlin' it's not true Because I still love you And I do with all of my heart
They say you are leavin' That you are deceivin' But you tell me they say the same about me Oh, but we'll show them they're wrong That loose talk can do harm And hope that the truth they will see
We may have to leave here To find peace of mind, dear Someplace where we can live a life of our own I know you love me And happy we could be If some folks would leave us alone If some folks would leave us alone
Looking For The Time (Workin' Girl) Composer(s): Nanci Griffith Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
Well, I work this corner from eleven to five the hands get cold around midnight You're askin' me if I've got the time Well I don't know, but you're wastin' mine tonight
Whoa ... you say you're looking for the time Well, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine If you ain't got money take it down the avenue 'cuz I ain't got time for you until daylight
This sidewalk ice is cold as steel I'm not Dorothy, I can't click my heels One of these days I'll move to L.A. Where the nights stay warm and the boys come out to play
Whoa ... you say you're looking for the time Well, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine If you ain't got money take it down the avenue 'cuz I ain't got time for you until daylight
Don't the snow light up the midnight sky The snow plows roll and the limos fly Don't you know It's just another night
Oh, once I had a lover who treated me right He lived so wrong he's doin' ninety-nine Oh, I wish you had the money and I had the time 'Cuz I'd just let those limos slide on by
Soul Deep Composer(s): Wayne Carson First release by: Clarence Carter - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Darlin' I don't know much I know I love you so much A lot depends on your touch My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep Too big to hide, can't be denied Love is a river running soul deep
I worked myself to euphoria Just to show I adore ya There's nothing I wouldn't do for ya Cause my love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep Too big to hide, can't be denied Love is a river running soul deep
All I ever, ever hoped to be Depends on your love for me If you believe me, if you should leave me I'd be nothing but a jilted male I know darned well, I could tell, but
I don't know much I know I love you so much A lot depends on your touch My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep Too big to hide, can't be denied Love is a river running soul deep My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep My love is a river running soul deep A way down inside me it's a soul deep...

Looking For The Right One Composer(s): Stephen Bishop Performer(s): Stephen Bishop
I've been so unlucky, I'm no good at playing games I remember their faces; forget their names Thought I'd found the right one, but she hasn't found me So I bundle up my emotions and start Looking For The Right One But will the right one ever come along? Oh, I'm Looking For The Right One When will the right one come along? They say there's no use runnin' after something you'll never get But my heart says, "Don't say no" Somewhere in this lonesome city is the woman for me But would I wait another lifetime just to keep on Looking For The Right One But will the right one ever come along? Oh, I'm Looking For The Right One When will the right one come along? They say love always comes and goes Well, that I already know Yes, I really know Looking For The Right One But will the right one ever come along? Looking For The Right One But will the right one come along?
Niemand Heeft Nog Tijd First performance by: Mrs. Einstein - 1997
Waar moet je heen met al je vragen Als er niemand luisteren wil Wat doe je met je lege dagen Het liefst zet je de tijd heel even stil
Voordat je iemand hebt gevonden Die tien minuten voor je heeft Nou dat kan wel even duren Je hoopt dat jij dan nog wel leeft
Want niemand heeft nog tijd Alleen nog tijd om zich te haasten Nee, niemand heeft nog tijd Alleen nog maar om aan zichzelf te denken Nee, nee, niemand heeft nog tijd Niemand heeft nog tijd
Je snapt niets meer van de wereld De tijd is duur want tijd is geld Stilstaan is uit den boze Dus tempo dat is wat er telt
De mensen blijven nog wel geven Staan nooit stil bij hun gevoel Snel kunnen zij per computer Nog iets storten voor het goede doel
Want niemand heeft nog tijd Alleen nog tijd om zich te haasten Nee, niemand heeft nog tijd Alleen nog maar om aan zichzelf te denken Nee, nee, niemand heeft nog tijd Niemand heeft nog tijd
Niemand heeft nog tijd, niemand heeft nog tijd Niemand heeft nog tijd, niemand nee nee Gaan wij ooit beseffen Er is veel meer dan de factor tijd Sta even stil, laat je verleiden Tot wat meer gevoeligheid...
Call Her Your Sweetheart Composer(s): Leon Payne Performer(s): Eddy Arnold; Frank Ifield; Alma Cogan
Call her your sweetheart whenever she feels blue You know there's not a thing she wouldn't do for you And when you are tempted to wander astray Remember there are times she feels the very same way
Share all your sunshine and all your heartaches too Let her know that she means more than all the world to you You'll find the future holds a treasure worth much more than gold If you'll only call her your sweetheart
Share all your sunshine and all your heartaches too Let her know that she means more than all the world to you You'll find the future holds a treasure worth much more than gold If you'll only call her your sweetheart
