Souviens-Toi De Nous Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Quelquefois au fond de ma mémoire Il m'arrive de te revoir Juste à mes côtés Derrière nous dix huit ans à peine Et devant les immenses plaines De l'éternité On avait l'eau des cascades Et des lits d'herbe mouillée J'écrivais des ballades Pour te réchauffer Ouh, souviens-toi de nous Toi qui t'es envolé Ouh, souviens-toi de nous Dans ton palais doré Et dis-moi s'il se passe autant de choses Dans ton palais de marbre rose Ta plage privée Est-ce que tu entends le chant des cascades Autour de tes miroirs de jade Où tout ferme à clé Mais rappelle-toi les orages Quand nos cheveux s'emmêlaient Sous les grands arbres sauvages Où l'on s'abritait Ouh, souviens-toi de nous Toi qui t'es envolé Ouh, souviens-toi de nous Dans ton palais doré Mais quelquefois au fond de ta Rolls noire Il m'arrive de te revoir Ils sont tous à tes pieds Je sais qu'ils se battent pour te plaire Mais tu ne les aperçois qu'au travers De tes verres fumés, fumés Ouh, souviens-toi de nous Toi qui t'es envolé Ouh, souviens-toi de nous Dans ton palais doré Ouh, souviens-toi de nous Toi qui t'es envolé Ouh, souviens-toi de nous Sinon tu vas tomber
Reflection Composer(s): Dave Moskin First performance by: Bobbie Singer - 1999
When I'm sad, I need a shoulder to cry on When I'm bad, you know that I am better When you're gone, you're the one that I'm thinking of When I come, it's to you that I run
There's no need to be lonely I'll be there everytime for you Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? Well, sometimes memories will have to do
But don't you recognise me? Oh... I'm the one that you have seen The reflection in your eyes The reflection in your eyes
They say it's a long way to heaven But they're wrong, 'cause heaven is you If I fall from grace everlasting There you are to make everything new
We can fly forever Wrap yourself around my emotions It's only getting better and better Don't ever think to doubt my devotion
But don't you recognise me? Oh... I'm the one that you have seen The reflection in your eyes The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes
Oh... reflection in your eyes The reflection in your eyes
But don't you recognise me? Oh... I'm the one that you have seen The reflection in your eyes The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes The reflection in your eyes, reflection in your eyes The reflection in your eyes
Happy Days And Lonely Nights Composer(s): Fred Fisher; Billy Rose Performer(s): Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters; and various other artists
My memory takes me to The wonderful nights we knew When I made love to you until the dawn You left and to my surprise I'm laughing with tear dimmed eyes Because I realise I can't go on my darling
With the parting of the ways You took all my happy days And left me lonely nights Morning never comes too soon I can face the afternoon But oh, those lonely nights I feel your arms around me Your kisses linger yet You taught me how to love you Now teach me to forget! You broke my heart a million ways When you took my happy days And left me lonely nights
The beautiful month of May Without you is sad and grey Oh, how I hate the day, I let you go I find that my happiness Depends on your sweet caress I thought I lov'd you less But now I know, my darling
With the parting of the ways You took all my happy days And left me lonely nights Morning never comes too soon I can face the afternoon But oh, those lonely nights I feel your arms around me Your kisses linger yet You taught me how to love you Now teach me to forget! You broke my heart a million ways When you took my happy days And left me lonely nights
Souviens-Toi De M'oublier Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Cathérine Deneuve; Serge Gainsbourg; Maurice Garrel
Souviens-toi de m'oublier J'vais y penser Réfléchis comme un miroir J'vais voir Et souviens-toi de m'oublier J'vais essayer L'amnésie a le pouvoir D'la magie noire
Souviens-toi de m'oublier Et quand je pleurerai Fais un nud à ton mouchoir Pour ta mémoire Et souviens-toi de m'oublier J'vais y penser Les flash-back c'est comme voir Des films noirs
Souviens-toi de m'oublier Ouais j'vais y penser Réfléchis comme un miroir J'vais voir Et souviens-toi de m'oublier J'vais essayer Tu sais bien qu'il va falloir Ne plus nous voir

Tonight's the night I've waited for Because you're not a baby anymore You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen Happy birthday sweet sixteen
What happened to that funny face My little tomboy now wears satin and lace I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream Happy birthday sweet sixteen
When you were only six I was your big brother Then when you were ten We didn't like each other When you were thirteen You were my funny valentine But since you've grown up Your future is sewn up From now on you're gonna be mine, so
If I should smile with sweet surprise It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen Happy birthday sweet sixteen

When You Need Me Composer(s): Bronagh Mullan First performance by: The Mullans - 1999
And you would always be there In everything I'd do But the fool that I am Never tried to understand
When you needed someone To help you through the rain But this child inside of me Never let me feel your pain
And how I've let it all just slip away And now I'm wishing for yesterday
Don't you go on your own Don't leave me here alone 'Cause I'll be there Yes, I swear When you need me I'll be there Don't you go I'm on my own Don't you go
You've been my inspiration All along the way But I can see it in your eyes Well, there's no more yesterday
But I will find my way back No matter what it takes For the first time I can see The love you lost on me
Don't you go on your own Don't leave me here alone 'Cause I'll be there Yes, I swear When you need me I'll be there Don't you go, no, no
And now I've let it all just slip away But the fool, the fool's inside of me
Don't you go on your own Don't leave me here alone 'Cause I'll be there Yes, I swear When you need me I'll be there Don't you go I'm on my own Don't you go

Happy Birthday, Leonid Brezhnev Composer(s): Joan Baez
Happy birthday, Leonid Brezhnev What a lovely seventy-fifth We watched the party on TV You seemed to be taking things casually What a mighty heart must beat in your breast To hold forty-nine medals on your chest Think of all the gifts that you've got Some were acquired and some were not Like a natural talent for marionettes Who do your dirty work and cover your bets So with one hand waving free The other one crushed a budding democracy
Congratulations, Jaruzelski What a wonderful job you have done Let me mention to a sane man's eye You've lost the meaning of compromise They're comparing you to General Pinochet It's a dubious compliment at best Your people are freezing, the workers are bleeding You've already arranged numerous deaths The only difference in the camps from the stadiums Is not much for the doomed all cry It's only the weather and the songs people sing Just before they die
Do you hear us, Lech Walesa? What a terrible price you have paid For being ahead of your time Has surely constituted a crime Oh, Mr. Brezhnev, look Somebody read the little red book And took it all seriously The way you did when you were young and you believed And you workers and you black Madonna You're not supposed to utter a word But the courage of you and your man of the year Is a symphony the world has seldom seen or heard Through the Siberian gates of hell The Pope and the bishops are wishing you well We see your candles in the park Hear your fearless promises in the dark How they cheat and when tried to win They didn't know that there would always be within you And we hear you, Lech Walesa Yes, we hear you, Lech Walesa Yes, we hear you, Lech Walesa Yes, we hear you, Lech Walesa
Como Tudo Começou First performance by: Rui Bandera - 1999
Quem me vai dizer como é que tudo começou? A minha vida já não faz sentido agora Eu sei, não vai haver nenhuma forma de te ver Sem eu saber porque razão te foste embora
E sem querer fazer-te mal nunca soube ser igual Ao que tu imaginavas para ti
Dá-me a tua mão, não mintas mais Olha que os teus olhos são cristais Por favor, não digas que não sais Porque eu sei sempre onde tu vais
Já não há razão para viver sem a paixão Que me atormenta e persegue a toda a hora
Pois sem querer fiz tanto mal, nunca soube ser igual Ao que tu imaginavas para ti
Dá-me a tua mão, não mintas mais Olha que os teus olhos são cristais Por favor, não digas que não sais Porque eu sei sempre onde tu vais
Dá-me a tua mão, não mintas mais Olha que os teus olhos são cristais Dá-me a tua mão
Happy Birthday To Me Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Hank Locklin
Today has been my birthday and tonight I should be glad But you weren't here to share it and inside I hurt so bad I didn't want your present, just your kiss and company And your lips to softly whisper Happy Birthday to me
But I came home all by myself and lit the candle Made a wish for you and love that used to be I unwrapped the tiny package that I bought myself Then I sang Happy Birthday to me
I thought for sure you'd send me at least a birthday card But the postman didn't even stop when he passed by my yard You could have telephoned and ease a lot of misery Instead I called myself and said Happy Birthday to me
And I came home all by myself and lit the candle Made a wish for you and love that used to be I unwrapped the tiny package that I bought myself Then I sang Happy Birthday to me
Souvenirs Composer(s): John Prine First release by: John Prine - 1972
All the snow has turned to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colors Are all that's left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my childhood souvenirs
Memories they can't be boughten They can't be won at carnivals for free Well it took me years To get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me
Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this mornin' Always look the same to me
I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs
Happy Birthday Rock 'N' Roll Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
J'suis un enfant d'la nature Mais un produit contre-culture Un après-guerre anti-héros Un anti-guerre pour les fachos Il y en a encore! Et j'ai grandi sans un effort La graine ça pousse là où ça dort Oui mais j'suis toujours étonné Du temps qu'vous m'avez accordé Il m'en reste encore! Mon âme est soldée Ma voix est à louer Mon cur épinglé Sur poster glacé J'suis étiqueté Pour supermarché Mais j'suis pas roulé non...

Ah Ah Ah Happy birthday Happy birthday Rock 'n' roll J'échangerai tous mes disques d'or Pour un souvenir, un trésor Le premier camion de Presley L'accroche-cur de Bill Halley S'il en reste encore Mais j'irai r'voir encore et encore "La blonde et moi" même si j'ai tort De passer pour un dépassé Accroché à un vieux ciné Qui m'éclate encore C'est dur de tourner Le dos au passé C'est dur de brûler Tout ce qu'on a aimé Mais c'est bon de chanter Sans être obligé De se sentir forcé (ah!) De commercialiser Ah Ah Ah Happy birthday rock 'n' roll Ah Ah Ah Hello! Quoi d'neuf, quoi de nouveau? Vingt ans sur le même bateau Ah Ah Ah Happy birthday Happy birthday Rock 'n' roll
Take Me To Your Heaven Composer(s): Lars 'Dille' Diedricson - Marcos Ubeda First performance by: Charlotte Nilsson - 1999
Shadows dancin' slowly on my wall Moonlight paintin' silver to the sound of heartbeats Magical emotions take control Knowin' we will meet before the night is over
Then I'm gonna make you mine, love you till the end of time
Take me to your heaven, hold on to a dream Take me to your heaven when my nights are cold and lonely Flyin' high together on a journey to the stars Won't you take me to your heaven, to your heart?
I can feel your body next to mine Reachin' for a kiss that keeps me warm and tender Seven steps to heaven show the way When I'm there, I give myself in sweet surrender
Then I'm gonna make you mine, love you till the end of time
Take me to your heaven, hold on to a dream Take me to your heaven when my nights are cold and lonely Flyin' high together on a journey to the stars Won't you take me to your heaven, to your heart?
As dawn is breakin' there is so much more to say So will you be my one and only when nights are lonely? Hold on tight forever
Take me to your heaven, hold on to a dream Take me to your heaven when my nights are cold and lonely Flyin' high together on a journey to the stars Won't you take me to your heaven, to your heart?
Oh... so won't you take me to your heaven, to your heart?

Southern Nights (French Version: Mon Copain Julie) Composer(s): Allen Toussaint First release by: Allen Toussaint - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
Southern nights, have you ever felt a southern night Free as a breeze, not to mention the trees Whistling tunes that you know and love so-oh
Southern nights, just as good even when closed your eyes I apologi-ise to any one who can truly say That he has found a better way-hay, yeah
Southern skies, have you ever noticed southern skies (southern skies) Rich precious beauty lies just beyond the eye It goes running through the soul, like the stories told of old
Old man, he and his dog that walk the old land Every flower tou-ouched by his cold hand As he slowly walked by weeping willows would cry for joy, joy
Feels so good, feels so good it's frightening Wish I could stop this world from fighting
Happy Birthday Blues Composer(s): J. Micheal Lee Performer(s): Kathy Young
There she sits all alone, her tear begins to shed A written letter in her hand, this is how it read
Turned sixteen just yesterday (ooh-ooh-ooh) All my world was bright and gay (ooh-ooh-ooh) Thought for sure you'd write or call but you didn't after all Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
Maybe you had lots to do (ooh-ooh-ooh) Or you found somebody new (ooh-ooh-ooh) How I pray you'll hear my plea, I'm as lonely as can be Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
I planned just how this day would be for such a long, long time You'd wish me "Happy Birthday" while I held your hand in mine I'd blow out all the candles while I wished that you and I Would be together ever more until the day we die
As I sit here in the gloom (ooh-ooh-ooh) Of my cold and lonely room (ooh-ooh-ooh) How my heart is filled with fears and my eyes are filled with tears Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
