Avec Une Poignée De Terre
((Adapted from: A Hundred Pounds Of Clay (by Gene McDaniels) - 1961))
Composer(s): Bob Elgin - Luther Dixon - Kay Rogers - Manou Roblin
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday; Dalida; Richard Anthony - 1961



Avec une poignée de terre
Il a crée le monde
Et quand il eut crée la terre
Tout en faisant sa ronde
Le Seigneur jugeant en somme
Qu'il manquait le minimum
Il créa la femme et l'amour
Qu'elle a donné aux hommes
Oui c'est vrai!

Avec une poignée de terre
Il a crée les lèvres
Et tes deux bras quand ils me serrent
Pour me donner la fièvre
Et je pense à chaque instant
Que celle que j'aime tant
Le Seigneur l'a fait
Rien qu'avec une poignée de terre
Oui c'est vrai! Oui c'est vrai!

Marchant à grands pas
Allant de-ci de-là
De la terre il ramassa
Puis ses manches il retroussa
Et de ses mains il façonna
La divine et douce personne
Celle que tout le monde nomme
L'éternelle dame pour l'amour
Qu'elle a donné aux hommes
Oui c'est vrai!

Avec une poignée de terre
Voilà ce que le Seigneur a fait
Avec une poignée de terre
Oui c'est vrai!

You're The Top
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Ethel Merman;
and various other artists



At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best
Instead of getting 'em off my chest
To let 'em rest unexpressed
I hate parading my serenading
As I'll probably miss a bar
But if this ditty is not so pretty
At least it'll tell you how great you are

You're the top! You're the Colosseum
You're the top! You're the Louvre Museum
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeart sonnet
You're Mickey Mouse
You're the Nile, You're the Tow'r of Pisa
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top!

Your words poetic are not pathetic
On the other hand, boy, you shine
And I can feel after every line
A thrill divine down my spine
Now gifted humans like Vincent Youmans
Might think that your song is bad
But for a person who's just rehearsin'
Well I gotta say this my lad

You're the top! You're Mahatma Ghandi
You're the top! You're Napolean brandy
You're the purple light of a summer night in Spain
You're the National Gall'ry, You're Garbo's sal'ry
You're cellophane
You're sublime, You're a turkey dinner
You're the time of the Derby winner
I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top!

You're the top! You're a Ritz hot toddy
You're the top! You're a Brewster body
You're the boats that glide on the sleepy Zuider Zee
You're a Nathan Panning, You're Bishop Manning
You're broccoli
You're a prize, You're a night at Coney
You're the eyes of Irene Bordoni
I'm a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top

You're the top! You're an Arrow collar
You're the top! You're a Coolidge dollar
You're the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire
You're an O'Neill drama, You're Whistler's mama
You're Camembert
You're a rose, You're Inferno's Dante
You're the nost of the great Durante
I'm just in the way, as the French would say
"De trop"
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top

You're the top! You're a Waldorf salad
You're the top! You're a Berlin ballad
You're a baby grand of a lady and a gent
You're an old dutch master, You're Mrs. Aster
You're Pepsodent
You're romance, You're the steppes of Russia
You're the pants on a Roxy usher
I'm a lazy lout that's just about to stop
But if Baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top!

You're the top! You're a dance in Bali
You're the top! You're a hot tamale
You're an angel, you simply too, too, too diveen
You're a Botticelli, You're Keats, You're Shelley
You're Ovaltine
You're a boon, You're the dam at Boulder
You're the moon over Mae West's shoulder
I'm a nominee of the G.O.P. or GOP
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top!

You're the top! You're the Tower of Babel
You're the top! You're the Whitney Stable
By the River Rhine, You're a sturdy stein of beer
You're a dress from Saks's, You're next year's taxes'
You're stratosphere
You're my thoist, You're a Drumstick Lipstick
You're da foist in da Irish svipstick
I'm a frightened frog that can find no log to hop
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top!

A Hundred Feet Away
Composer(s): Peter Anders - Joan Jett - Kenny Laguna
Performer(s): Joan Jett & the Blackhearts



Just a little girl in love staring at a penthouse suite
Waiting for the star above to come and join her
On the street

Maybe he'll want some company and she's got a dirty plan
But he can disappear so suddenly better grab 'em while you can you better

Standing in a lonely room high above the crowd below
With no one there to share the gloom when
Underneath begins to show

Living in a world of fantasy can't let the image fall
But he ain't the man he planned to be and he would
Give it all

For just a little girl in love someone who could share his day
And just what he was dreaming of
Was just a hundred feet away

Just a little girl in love just a little girl in love
There was just a little girl in love there was just a little girl in love

You're The Reason Why
Composer(s): Hubert Eaves III; James "D-Train" Williams
Performer(s): The Rubettes



The things you say don't always hurt me
But things you do don't always make me cry
The things you do they don't always hurt me
But when they hurt me you're the reason why
The things you do are without reason
The things for me to do is let it lie
But when I lie the pain ain't easin'
You know the reason you're the reason why
Sometime's I'm up sometime's I'm down
Sometime's I don't know where I'm going anyway
Sometimes I feel just like a clown
And I don't know where I'm going
And I just don't know the way
The things you say don't always hurt me
. . .
Sometimes I'm up sometimes I feel just like a clown
And I know just where I'm going
And I just don't know the way
The things you say don't always hurt me

A Hundred And Ten In The Shade
Composer(s): John Fogerty
First release by: John Fogerty - 1997



Way out there in the cotton
Sun beatin' down so hard
Sweat rollin' of this shovel
Diggin' in the devil's boneyard
Sure like a cool drink of water
Soft rag to soothe my face
Sure like a woman to talk to in this place

It's a hundred and ten
Hundred and ten in the shade
Goin' way down
Mama won't you carry me

Handle so hot I can't stand it
Might shrivel up and blow away
Noonday sun make you crazy
Least, that's what the old men say

Bottom land hard as a gravestone
Couldn't cut it with an axe
Gonna lay me down right here
And that's a fact

It's a hundred and ten
Hundred and ten in the shade
Goin' way down
Mama won't you carry me

Sometimes late in the evenin'
Everything is quiet and still
I set here and think about leavin'
Lord, I guess I never will
Heartache down in that city
Bright light scares me anyway
Sure like a woman to talk in this place

It's a hundred and ten
Hundred and ten in the shade
Goin' way down
Mama won't you carry me

You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma
Composer(s): Felice Bryant; 
Boudleaux Bryant; Larry Collins; Sandy Pinkard
Performer(s): David Frizzell & Shelly West



There's a full moon over Tulsa
I hope that it's shining on you
The nights are getting cold
In Cherokee County
There's a Blue Norther passing through
I remember green eyes and a rancher's daughter
But remember is all that I do
Losing you left a pretty good cowboy
With nothing to hold on to
Sundown came and I drove to town
And drank a drink or two
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you

Here the city lights out shine the moon
I was just now thinking of you
Sometimes when the wind blows you can
See the mountains
And all the way to Malibu
Everyone's a star here in L.A. County
You ought to see the things that they do
All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip
Wish that they could be like you
The Santa Monica Freeway
Sometimes makes a country girl blue
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you

I work 10 hours on a John Deere tractor
Just thinking of you all day

I've got a calico cat and a 2 room flat
On a street in West L.A.

You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you

A House Without Love
Composer(s): Hank Williams Sr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Sr.
and multiple other artists



For years we both have lived on pride, dear
And we agree that love is gone
Why, oh why do we keep tryin'
A House Without Love is not a home

The lovelight in your eyes has faded
And I'm contented just to roam
We slaved to gain a worthless treasure
A House Without Love is not a home

No matter where our footsteps wander
I know we'll both be all alone
With the pride that came between us
A House Without Love is not a home 

The simple things have gone forever
We wanted wealth to call our own
And now we've reached the hour of parting
A House Without Love is not a home

You're The Reason
Composer(s): Bobby Edwards; Terry Fell; 
James F. Hanley; Fred Henley; Mildred Imes
Performer(s): John Fogerty



I lay here at night, toss and I turn
lovin' you so, how my heart yearns
Honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night
A-justa walkin' the floor, thinkin' of you
smoke cigarettes, and drink all day too
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night

I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me
but if I'm wrong don't fail to call
Come over and keep me-hee company
Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon
strum my guitar to some old lonesome tune
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night

I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me
yeah but if I'm wrong don't fail to call
Come over and keep me-hee company
Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon
strum my guitar and sing out of tune
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night
Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night

A House With Love In It
Composer(s): Sylvia Dee - Sidney Lippman
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists



A house with love in it is rich indeed
Altho there are a thousand things 
That house may need
The carpet may be old
The room so plain and bare
And yet, it's beautiful somehow
When love is living there
A house with love in it 
Just seems to bloom
As tho the month of May 
Were filling ev'ry room
So, darling, thru the years
With all my heart I'll pray
A house with love in it 
Is where we'll stay

You're The Only One
Composer(s): Seth Justman; Peter Wolf
Performer(s): J. Geils Band; Brooke Shields



It's very hard to define it
Just why I feel this way
There must be all kinds of reasons
So many things I could say
And I know I'm not mistaken
This is love and that's for sure

(Chorus)
You, you're the only one
You're the only one
You, you're the only one

There are times I remember
It wasn't so long ago
I was lonely, sad and confused
I didn't know where to go
But baby I want to tell you
Just how good you make me feel

(Chorus)

I'd be a fool to deny it
I want everyone to know

(Chorus)

Baby, baby

A House That Has Everything
Composer(s): Roy Bennett - Sid Tepper
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



I can see you now living like a queen
In a house that has everything, everything but love
Crystal chandeliers, chauffeured limousines
Yes you'll really have everything, everything but love

I see diamonds, sables, sapphires and pearls
And as the picture clears
Poor little rich girl sitting all alone
Counting her treasures in tears
Better just a shack where two people care
Than a house that has everything, everything but love

I see diamonds, sables, sapphires and pearls
And as the picture clears
Poor little rich girl sitting all alone
Counting her treasures in tears
Better just a shack where two people care
Than a house that has everything, everything but love
Than a house that has everything, everything but love

You're The One That I Want
Composer(s): John Farrar
Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta



I got chills
They're multiplyin'
And I'm losin' control
'Cause the power
you're suplyin'
it's electrifyin'!

You better shape up
'Cause I need a man
and my heart is set on you
You better shape up
you better understand
to my heart I must be true

Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do

You're the one that I want
(you are the one I want), o,o, oo, honey
The one that I want.
(you are the one I want), o,o, oo, honey
The one that I want
You, o,o, oo
are what I need
Oh, yes indeed

If you're filled
with affection
you're to shy to convey
meditate in my direction
Feel your way

I better shape up
'Cause you need a man
I need a man
who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up
if I'm gonna prove
oh you better prove
that my faith is justified

Are you sure? 
Yes, I'm sure down deep inside

You're the one that I want
You, o,o, oo, honey
The one that I want
You, o,o, oo, honey
The one that I want
You, oo, oo
are what I need
Oh, yes indeed

A House Of Hopes And Dreams
Composer(s): Peter Sinfield
Performer(s): Peter Sinfield



Across the floor lie broken bowls of pride
Unlatch the door and scratch holes in the night
She'll be there someday, tides turn, winds change
You know, Oh you know

A house of hopes and dreams I built one too
Drunk on gypsy violins like you
Ran naked through the flames and burnt like you

Unbuttoned times when two laid down as one
Eyes on eyes where catherine wheels spun
Now every stale day is a haywire highway
Alone, so alone

A house of hopes and dreams I built one too
Danced upon the tables just like you
Swam the sea of dreams and drowned like you

The cave of tears you choked and almost cried
Emotions horse's roped and staked inside
Never could show her but somehow hoped to know her
Again, again, again to build
A house of hopes and dreams upon
a pack of painted cards
To build a house of hopes and dreams
with bricks of loaded dice
To build a house of hopes and dreams
with roulette wheels for stairs
To build a house of hopes and dreams
Secured and bound with love
With love, with love, with love, with love
Build strong and sure with love ...

You're The One
Composer(s): Petula Clark; Tony Hatch
Performer(s): The Vogues



Every time we meet
Everything is sweet
Ooh, you're so tender
I must surrender
My love is your love
Now and forever

You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreaming of
Baby, you're the one that I love

Keep me in your heart
Never let us part
Ooh, never leave me
Please don't deceive me
I want you only
You must believe me

You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreaming of
Baby, you're the one that I love

I adore you
And no one before you
Could make me feel this way
Since I met you
I just can't forget you
I love you more each day

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

There may be some tears
Through the coming years
Ooh, all the while
I know you'll be smilin'
You love will guide me
Though every mile 'cause

You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreaming of
Baby, you're the one that I love
(repeat to fade)

A House Needs A Roof
Composer(s): Tony Banks
Performer(s): Tony Banks



Wandering in a daze
Through a cold mechanical maze
I am lost and confused
I am always the loser
You tell me there’s a place
Where I can be alive

Is it near is it far is it somewhere between
This land you say exists that I’ve never seen
Call me please talk to me tell me the truth
I need to believe like a house needs a roof
Is it strange is it wonderful I need to know
Do you have a picture that you can show
The minute to capture the moment has come
The minute to capture the moment has come

It’s easy to believe
But less easy to imagine
I’ve grown so used to not coping
Waiting eternally hoping
Wishes come and go
But this one will stay I know
Could the time for adventure be
Just around the corner

Is it near is it far is it somewhere between
The land you say exists that I’ve never seen
Call me please talk to me tell me the truth
I need to believe like a house needs a roof
Is it strange is it wonderful I need to know
Do you have a picture that you can show
The minute to capture the moment has come
The minute to capture the moment has come

I wonder if it’s true
Do I put my faith in you
Do I risk one more failure
To add to this tale
Or do I turn my back
And slowly walk away
Please tell me if you know

Is it near is it far is it somewhere between
The land you say exists that I’ve never seen
Call me please talk to me tell me the truth
I need to believe like a house needs a roof
Is it strange is it wonderful I need to know
Do you have a picture that you can show
The minute to capture the moment has come
The minute to capture the moment has come

You're The One
Performer(s): Kathy Kirby



You’re the one that I sigh for
The one that I even lie for
The one that I even die for
You’re the lover that I cry for

Oh my darling hear me sighing
For you left me sad and lonely
Can’t you see, my one and only

Oh, my darling, hear me crying
Can’t you see my heart is dying
Come to me
Oh, I implore you
I love everything about you
My life is nothing without you

Come back, come back, come back to me
Oh, I implore you
I love everything about you
My life is nothing without you
Oh my lover

A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss good night

A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart

Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears

Darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair and turn the key
Oh, please be there still in love with me

You're The One
Performer(s): Karen Carpenter



Every night, every day
You're the one I always dream of
Every line of your face
Is sketched so plain inside my heart

You've grown so deep inside of me
You're everything I feel and see
And You're the One
You're the One I love

All my life, all my love
I can feel when you're beside me
All that's right, all that's wrong
Suddenly becomes so clear

My heart has overtaken me
with feelings you awake in me
And You're the One
You're the One I love

Only you could move me enough 
to believe in love one more time
All I need to know for tomorrow 
is that you're mine, mine for a lifetime

If our friends all around
find it hard to understand us
You and I, understand
the other one so very well

And that's what I've been looking for
so I keep coming back for more
'cos You're the One
You're the One I love

You're the One
You're the One I Love

A Horse With No Name
((German Version: Ein Mensch Ohne Namen (P. Bernd))
Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell
First release by: America - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



On the first part of the journey 
I was looking at all the life 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things 
There was sand and hills and rings 
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz 
And the sky with no clouds 
The heat was hot and the ground was dry 
But the air was full of sound 

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
It felt good to be out of the rain 
In the desert you can remember your name 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
La, la ... 

After two days in the desert sun 
My skin began to turn red 
After three days in the desert fun 
I was looking at a river bed 
And the story it told of a river that flowed 
Made me sad to think it was dead 

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
It felt good to be out of the rain 
In the desert you can remember your name 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
La, la ... 

After nine days I let the horse run free 
'Cause the desert had turned to sea 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things 
there was sand and hills and rings 
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground 
And a perfect disguise above 
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground 
But the humans will give no love 

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
It felt good to be out of the rain 
In the desert you can remember your name 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
La, la ...

You know our love was meant to be
the kind of love that lasts forever
