Adieu Créature
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Adieu, créature
J'm'en vais dans la nature
Et ne m'en veuille pas
Tu ne seras jamais pour moi
Qu'une jolie créature
Perdue dans la nature
Aimant un peu, beaucoup
Trop, pas assez ou pas du tout
Je suis là pour je n'sais qui pour je n'sais quoi
Tu m'as pris pour je n'sais quoi pour je n'sais qui
Et moi je n'sais ce qui m'a pris ce qui m'a pris
De venir ici
Adieu, créature
J'm'en vais dans la nature
Et ne m'en veuille pas,
Une de ces nuits on s'reverra
Adieu, créature
Adieu, créature
On se reverra
Quelque part dans la nature!

What A Fool Believes
Composer(s): Michael McDonald; Kenny Loggins
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



He came from somewhere back in here long ago
the sentimental fool don't see
trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created
once in her life

She musters a smilefor his nostalgic tale
never coming near what he wanted to say
only to realize
it never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
as he rises to her apology
anybody else would surely know
he's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
no wise man has the power
to reason away what seems to be
is always better than nothing
and nothing at all...

keeps sending him...

Somewhere back in her long ago
where he can still believe there's a place in her life
someday, someway
she will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
as he rises to her apology
anybody else would surely know
he's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
no wise man has the power
to reason away what seems to be
is always better than nothing
and nothing at all... 

Adieu To My Island
Composer(s): Travis Edmonson
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio



I must bid adieu to my island 
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me 
Bow down just like a palm tree
The nights may be warm in Hawaii 
and the sun may shine on Rome
But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad 
and my heart tells me that's home

I must bid adieu to my island 
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me 
Bow down just like a palm tree
The nights may be warm in Hawaii 
and the sun may shine on Rome
But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad 
and my heart tells me that's home

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

The sun's comin' out of the ocean, now 
and in an hour I'll be gone.
Watch from the mountain when the ships sail in 
for the one that I'll be on.

I must bid adieu to my island 
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me 
Bow down just like a palm tree
The nights may be warm in Hawaii 
and the sun may shine on Rome
But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad 
and my heart tells me that's home

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

What A Diff'rence A Day Made
Adapted from: Cuando Vuelva A Tu Lado - 1924
Composer(s): Stanley Adams; María Grever
Performer(s): The Dorsey Brothers Orch. (Vocal: Bob Crosby) - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



What a diff'rence a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine

What a diff'rence a day made
There's a rainbow before me

Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on menu

What a diff'rence a day made
And the diff'rence is you

Adieu Paris
Composer(s): André Hornez - Sauvage - Senamaud
Performer(s): Berthe Sylva



Adieu Paris, je me retire à la campagne
L'ennui me gagne, assez d'champagne
J'en ai soupé d'aller souper avec les poules
Et de rentrer comme si l'pavé faisait d'la houle
Adieu Paris, car j'en ai par-dessus la tête
Faire la fête, oh, qu'ça m'embête
Je vais me mettre au vert, vivre comme les bêtes
Me coucher tôt et ne plus boire que d'l'eau
Oui mais
Avant que je te quitte
Que je vive en ermite
Tout là-bas loin de toi
Oh! Ville des merveilles
Encore une fois
Vidons une bouteille
Et puis deux, et puis trois
Oh! La drôle de chose
Lorsqu'un bouchon explose
Je vois la vie en rose
Profitons-en, garçon!
Apportez-moi la carte
On doit, sans façon
Faire avant que je parte
Un bon gueuleton
Adieu Paris, ville de rêve et d'épouvante
Ville méchante, ville charmante
Tu fais payer bien cher le bonheur que tu donnes
Mais en mourant, on t'aime tant qu'on te pardonne
Adieu Paris, adieu Montmartre et Notre-dame
Et jolie femme, et vilain drame
Toute l'éternité nous te donnons nos âmes
Leur paradis, c'est le ciel de Paris!

Mais je vous dit quand même adieu

Peut-être à demain, peut-être à jamais
Adieu monsieur mon amour
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

What A Bringdown
Composer(s): Ginger Baker
Performer(s): Cream



Dainties in a jam-jar, parson's colour in the sky
Water in a fountain doesn't get me very high
Moby Dick and Albert making out with Captain Bligh
So you know what you know in your head
Will you, won't you, do you, don't you know when a head's dead?
What a bringdown!

Winter leader Lou is grownin' 'Ampsteads in the North
Betty B's been wearin' daisies since the twenty-fourth
Wears a gunner when there's one more coming forth
And you know what you know in your head
Will you, won't you, do you, don't you wanna go to bed?
What a bringdown!

There's a tea-leaf about in the family
Full of nothin' their fairy tale
There's a tea-leaf a-floatin' now for Rosalie
They'll believe in ding-dong bell

Take a butchers at the dodginesses of old Bill
Aristotle's orchestra are living on the pill
One of them gets very very prickly when he's ill
And you know what you know in your head
Will you, won't you, do you, don't you wanna make more bread?
What a bringdown!

Les enfants font une farandole 
Et le vieux maître est tout ému 
Demain il va quitter sa chère école 
Sur cette estrade il ne montera plus 

Adieu monsieur le professeur 
On ne vous oubliera jamais 
Et tout au fond de notre coeur 
Ces mots sont écrits à la craie 
Nous vous offrons ces quelques fleurs 
Pour dire combien on vous aimait 
On ne vous oubliera jamais 
Adieu monsieur le professeur 

Une larme est tombée sur sa main 
Seul dans la classe il s'est assis 
Il en a vu défiler des gamins 
Qu'il a aimés tout au long de sa vie 

Adieu monsieur le professeur 
On ne vous oubliera jamais 
Et tout au fond de notre coeur 
Ces mots sont écrits à la craie 
Nous vous offrons ces quelques fleurs 
Pour dire combien on vous aimait 
On ne vous oubliera jamais 
Adieu monsieur le professeur 

De beaux prix sont remis aux élèves 
Tous les discours sont terminés 
Sous le préau l'assistance se lève 
Une dernière fois les enfants vont chanter 

Adieu monsieur le professeur 
On ne vous oubliera jamais 
Et tout au fond de notre coeur 
Ces mots sont écrits à la craie 
Nous vous offrons ces quelques fleurs 
Pour dire combien on vous aimait 
On ne vous oubliera jamais 
Adieu monsieur le professeur 

Adieu monsieur le professeur 
On ne vous oubliera jamais 

Et tout au fond de notre coeur...

What A Beautiful Day
Composer(s): Lucio Dalla; Leo Zeuss
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla



What a beautiful day
l'aria fresca del mattino
ti fa sentire un bambino
o no?
What a beautiful day
brioche e cappuccino
e quell'odore cos'è?
qualcuno fa un caffè
What a beautiful day
saluto il mio vicino
la gente compra i bignè
saluta anche me
la corsa dei ciclisti
due preti su una Panda
ah sì ... è domenica
ma prego, passi lei
parenti in visita
il lunapark sul porto
con la sua musica
non puoi che dire
What a beautiful day
Ma il mondo è una palla
è una palla di vetro
se ci guardi dentro
è come un grande presepio
e lì ci siam noi
statue di vetro
ombre nel sole
sguardi, gesti, respiri, parole
ma quando uno si infiamma
e ha come un chiodo nel cuore
questo è solo l'amore
che ti fa dire
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day
È avere l'aria addosso
What a beautiful day
è non dire mai non posso
esser quello che sei
non rinunciare mai
e tra la terra e il cielo
come una canna al vento
restare lì leggero
guardare le rondini in volo
padrone di niente, ma padrone di te
Perchè la vita è una palla
se giochi rimbalza
tra il cielo e la terra
io, io ancora non so
dov'è che è il mio posto
dove sono domani
se parti o rimani
se ancora, se sei ancora con me
e non tengo il conto
dei giorni buttati
non mi volto indietro
prendo tutto, tutto quello che c'è
perchè se uno si infiamma
e ha come un chiodo nel cuore
questo è solo l'amore
che ti fa dire
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day

Addio Angelina
le campane della corona
sono state rubate dai banditi
Io devo seguirne il suono
Il triangolo tintinna
e le trombe suonano lente
Addio Angelina
Il cielo va a fuoco
e devo andare

Non c'è bisogno di arrabbiarsi
Non c'è bisogno di incolpare
Non c'è niente da provare
Tutto è sempre uguale
Come una tavola vuota
sul bordo del mare
Addio Angelina
il cielo trema
e devo partire

I fanti e le regine
hanno abbandonato la corte
Cinquantadue zingare
ora sfilano davanti alle guardie
Nello spazio dove il due
e l'asso una volta correvano veloci
Addio Angelina
il cielo si piega
Ci rivedremo tra un attimo

Guarda i pirati con gli occhi storti che siedono
appollaiati al sole
mentre sparano ai barattoli
con un fucile a canne mozze
Ed i vicini applaudono
ed esultano ad ogni colpo
Addio Angelina
il cielo sta cambiando colore
e devo andarmene di corsa

King Kong e i folletti
ballano sui tetti
dei tanghi in stile Valentino
mentre le mani dell'uomo truccato
chiudono gli occhi del morto
per non imbarazzare nessuno
Addio Angelina
Il cielo è imbarazzato
e devo andare

Le mitragliatrici ruggiscono
i burattini tirano pietre
i demoni inchiodano bombe ad orologeria
alle mani degli orologi
Chiamami con qualsiasi nome tu voglia
non lo negherò mai
Addio Angelina
il cielo sta eruttando
e devo andare dove c'è quiete

Wharf Rat

Midnight Oil; Michael Rose



Old man down
Way down down, down by the docks of the city
Blind and dirty
Asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee
I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story

My name is August West
And I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine
More than my wine 
More than my maker, though he's no friend of mine

Everyone said
I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them
Half of my life
I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime

The other half found me stumbling 'round drunk on Burgundy wine

But I'll get back on my feet again someday
The good Lord willin', if 
He says I may
I know that the life I'm livin's no good
I'll get a new start, live the life I should

I'll get up and fly away
I'll get up and fly away, fly away

Pearly's been true
True to me, true to my dyin' day he said
I said to him
I said to him, "I'm sure she's been"
I said to him, "I'm sure she's been true to you"

Got up and wandered
Wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around
I've got a girl
Named Bonnie Lee, I know that girl's been true to me
I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me

Adieu Mon Coeur

Adieu mon cœur
On te jette au malheur
Tu n'auras pas mes yeux
Pour mourir...
Adieu mon cœur
Les échos du bonheur
Font tes chants tristes
Autant qu'un repentir

Autrefois tu respirais le soleil d'or
Tu marchais sur des trèsors
On était vagabonds
On aimait les chansons
Ç'a fini dans les prisons

Adieu mon cœur
On te jette au malheur
Tu n'auras pas mes yeux
Pour mourir...
Adieu mon cœur
Les échos du bonheur
Font tes chants tristes
Autant qu'un repentir...
Un repentir...

Wham! Bam! Thank You, Mam!
Composer(s): Hank Penny
Performer(s): Dean Martin



(Wham bam thank you ma'am I hope you're satisfied)
I never knew what love would do 'til I saw your smile
And when I did I flipped my lid and almost went plum wild
But now I know I'll never show my love to anyone
'cause wham bam you broke my heart and I hope that you had fun

(Wham bam thank you ma'am) Hope you're satisfied
You took my heart and tore it apart you hurt me deep inside
I'll never be a fool again you really crushed my pride
(Wham bam thank you ma'am) Hope you're satisfied

I looked at you and thought I knew just how the game was played
My shirt tail ran right up my back just like a window shade
I cross my heart I'll never start to pal for anyone
'cuz wham bam you broke my heart and hope that you had fun
(Wham bam thank you ma'am) Hope you're satisfied
You took my heart and you tore it apart you hurt me deep inside
I'll never be a fool again you really crushed my pride
(Wham bam thank you ma'am) and I hope you're satisfied

I made a mess of things I guess but now I'll recognize
The next young thing that tries to say its a love-light in her eye
The love light that you spoke about was only just a flame
'cuz every tome you meet a man it lights right up again
(Wham bam thank you ma'am) Hope you're satisfied
You took my heart and you tore it apart you hurt me deep inside
I'll never be a fool again you really crushed my pride
(Wham bam thank you ma'am) I hope you're satisfied

Twenty-Four Hours A Day
Composer(s): James F. Hanley - Arthur Swanstrom
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
and multiple other artists



Like a little old-fashioned music box
With just one tune to play
My heart keeps singing "I love you!"
Twenty four hours a day!

Like a little old-fashioned music box
That gets to know the tune
My heart keeps missing a heartbeat
Singing its song about you

And although the song we know is old
It's still the sweetest story ever told

By a little old-fashioned music box
With just one tune to play
My heart keeps singing "I love you!"
Twenty four hours a day!

Whaling Stories
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



Pailing well after sixteen days, a mammoth task was set
Sack the town, and rob the tower, and steal the alphabet
Close the door and bar the gate, but keep the windows clean
God's alive inside a movie! Watch the silver screen!

Rum was served to all the traitors; pygmies held themselves in check
Bloodhounds nosed around the houses, down dark alleys sailors crept
Six bells struck, the pot was boiling - soup spilled out on passers-by
Angels mumbled incantations, closely watched by God on high

Lightning struck out - fire and brimstone! Boiling oil and shrieking steam!
Darkness struck with molten fury, flashbulbs glorified the scene
Not a man who had a finger, not a man who could be seen
Nothing called (not name nor number) - Echo stormed its final scream

Daybreak washed with sands of gladness, rotting all it rotted clean
Windows peeped out on their neighbors, inside fireside bedsides gleam
SHALIMAR, the trumpets chorused, angels wholly all shall take
Those alive will meet the prophets, those at peace shall see their wake

I'm Gonna Love That Guy (Like He's Never Been Loved Before)
Composer(s): Frances Ash
Performer(s): Benny Goodman
and multiple other artists



I've made a list
Of the things that I've missed
And wanted to do
And right at the head
In letters of red
Is the first of the few
This promise I've made
Cross my heart, hope to die
Is the first of the first
For my honey and I

I'm gonna love that guy
Like he's never been loved before
I'm gonna show that guy
He's the fella that I adore
When he's in my arms again
Our dreams will all come true
Then the years between
Might never have been
We'll be starting our lives anew

I'm gonna kiss that guy
Like he's ever been kissed before
And though I miss that guy
It will be worth waiting for
We'll never part again
He'll hold my heart again
For ever and evermore
I'm gonna love that guy
Like he's never been loved before

I'm gonna love that guy
Like he's never been loved before
I'm gonna show that guy
He's the fella that I adore

We'll never part again
He'll hold my heart again
For ever and evermore
I'm gonna love that guy
Like he's never been loved before

We've Only Just Begun
Composer(s): Roger Nichols; Paul Williams
Performer(s): The Carpenters



We've only just begun to live, white lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(we've only begun)
Before the risin' sun we fly, so many roads to choose
We start out walkin' and learn to run
(and yes we've just begun)

Sharin' horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over just the two of us
Workin' together day to day (together)

And when the evenin' comes, we smile
so much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes we've just begun)

Sharin' horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over just the two of us
Workin' together day to day (together, together)

And when the evenin' comes, we smile
so much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes we've just begun

Adieu Angélina les cloches de la couronne
Ont été volées à l'aube je les entends qui sonnent
Et je me dépêche je dois les rattraper
Adieu Angélina le ciel est en feu
Et je m'en vais

Ce n'est pas la peine d'en faire une affaire
Ce n'est pas la peine d'ameuter toute la terre
C'est une table vide sur le bord de la mer
Adieu Angélina le ciel a tremblé
Je dois m'en aller

Les rois et les reines quittent la basse cour
Deux cents bohémiennes sont entrées à la cour
Dans la salle du tout va rien ne va plus pour moi
Adieu Angélina le ciel s'écroule
Je te verrai plus tard

Regarde ces pirates dans la Voie Lactée
Qui tirent sur des boîtes avec un canon scié
Les voisins applaudissent poussent des cris de joie
Adieu Angélina le ciel se décolore
Je dois me sauver

King Kong et les elfes vont danser sur les toits
De longs tangos typiques tandis que de leurs doigts
Des maquilleurs s'escriment à fermer les yeux de la mort
Adieu Angélina le ciel est trop sombre
Je dois m'échapper

Les mitrailleuses crépitent les poupées mobilisent
Des bombes au plastique éclatent dans les églises
Appelle-moi comme tu veux je ne discute pas
Mais adieu Angélina le ciel se déchaîne
Je vais chercher la paix

We've Got Tonight
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger



I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don' you stay?

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today
So there it is girl, I've said it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it ast, let's find a way
Turn out the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
