Are You Ready For The Country?
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Slipping and sliding and playing domino
Lefting and then Righting; it's not a crime you know
You gotta tell your story boy, before it's time to go
Are you ready for the country because it's time to go?

I was talkin' to the preacher - said God was on my side
Then I ran to the hangman - he said "it's time to die"
You gotta tell your story boy
You know the reason why

Are you ready for the Country 
Because it's time to go? 

Ding-Din-Dong
Composer(s): Raymond Asso - P. Dreyfus
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Quand il naquit, son père sa mère
Depuis longtemps, ne s'aimaient plus
Ça fait qu'il arriva sur terre
Un peu comme un enfant perdu
Quand on est môme, ça vous dégoûte
De ne jamais rire de tout son cœur
Alors, très jeune, il prit la route
Et s'enfuit chercher le bonheur
Ding Din Dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding Din Dong, chantons-la donc
Il chercha dans la solitude
Il chercha aussi dans le bruit
De chercher, ayant l'habitude
Quand il le trouva, il s'enfuit
Puis il aima, elle était blonde
Elle l'aimait bien, oui mais voilà
Elle se donnait à tout le monde
Il la battit puis s'en alla
Ding Din Dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding Din Dong, chantons-la donc
Il se dit: "Les blondes sont volages
Mais les cheveux noirs c'est plus sérieux"
Il prit un brune, promit mariage
Pensant qu'cette fois il s'rait heureux
Au bout de cinq à six semaines
Elle s'ennuyait à la maison
"Vraiment", dit-il, "je n'ai pas d'veine
Elle a pourtant pas les ch'veux blonds"
Ding Din Dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding Din Dong, chantons-la donc
Il ne savait pas que les femmes
Ça n'aime pas l'bonheur quotidien
Et l'pauvre garçon s'torturait l'âme
"Mais j'l'aime... mon Dieu...
Ah que j'l'aime bien"
Et, mordu par la jalousie
Y n'savait plus que s'lamenter
"On va m'la prendre, elle est jolie"
Alors il voulut la tuer
Ding Din Dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding Din Dong, chantons-la donc
Mais elle était vraiment fidèle
Il l'aimait tant qu'il préféra
Se faire sauter la cervelle
Il en mourut et puis voilà
Si cette histoire vous fait rire
C'est que vous n'avez rien compris
Il cherchait le bonheur, le pire
Est qu'il trouva la mort, tant pis...
Ding Din Dong, finit sa plainte...
Ding Din Dong, et Ding et Dong...

Avant Toi
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour 
Performer(s): Mama Béa



Avant toi
Aveuglé de misère
Mon unique lumière
Était celle de Dieu
Avant toi
À l'orée de l'enfance
J'ai surpris la souffrance
Avant d'ouvrir les yeux
Avant toi
je n'eus pour toute famille
Que quelques pauvres filles
Belles de nuit, de jour
Qui sans joie
M'ont appris bien des choses
Qu'au fond des maisons closes
On croit être l'amour

Avant toi
À quinze ans pitoyable
Dans un hôtel minable
J'ai laissé ma vertu
Avant toi
La faim collée au ventre
J'ai poussé la goualante
Dans les cours et les rues
Avant toi
J'ai connu la violence
Jusqu'au jour où la chance
Simplement m'a trouvé
Et pour moi
Qui fréquentais les bouges
On mit le tapis rouge
Et Paris à mes pieds

Avant toi
Un moment j'ai pu croire
A une belle histoire
Mais le rêve fut cours
Avant toi
Une mort un scandale
Dans les rues de Pigalle
Et tout le bruit autour

Avant toi
Chargé de tous les vices
On me prétend complice
On met ma vie à nu
Et les voix
De tous ceux qui m'accusent
Que les radios diffusent
Me rejettent à la rue

Avant toi
De déboires en déboires
La route de la gloire
Fut un chemin de croix
Mille fois
J'ai entrevu le vide
Mais Dieu restait mon guide
L'amour restait ma foi

Avant toi
De bateaux en rivages
De marins en naufrages
Je scrutais l'horizon
Avant toi
Mes amours éphémères
Milord ou légionnaire
Sont devenus chansons
Avant toi
Les petits bals de France
Déroulaient mes souffrances
En mille variations
Sous les doigts
Secs et longs d'un artiste
Tournaient les âmes tristes
Grâce à l'accordéon

Avant toi
Au sommet de la gloire
J'avais du mal à croire
À l'amour éternel

Avant toi
De folie en folie
J'ai dépensé ma vie
En aimant au pluriel

Avant toi
J'attendais avec fièvre
Qu'enfin ce jour se lève
Où ma main tracera
Une Croix
Sur mon passé d'angoisse
Pour qu'en mon coeur s'effacent
Tous mes jours d'avant toi

Catch a star if you can
Wish for something special
Let it be me
My love is free

Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listenin'
One melody
You wrote for me

I'll write a symphony just for you and me
If you let me love you
I'll paint a masterpiece just for you to see
If you let me love you, let me love you

Are you (Are you ready), yeah
(Are you ready for love) Yes, I am, are you, baby

Shine your love around me
You'll always be
The one for me

Say the word, I'll be there
Loving you forever
Don't let me go
Just say it's so

Whoa...oh...we'll hear the music ring from the mountain tops
To the valley below us
And we'll serenade the world with a lullaby
So the angels will know us, angels will know us

Are you (Are you ready), tell me, yeah
(Are you ready for love) Yes, I am, are you, baby
(Are you ready) Tell me
(Are you ready for love) Oh, are you
(Are you ready) Ready
(Are you ready for love) Love

Most of the time
I think about how good love feels to me
It makes me feel like I wanna moan
Yeah

(Are you ready) Are you ready
(Are you ready for love) Hey, yes, I am, hey, tell me
(Are you ready) Are you
(Are you ready for love) You know it's known all over the world

(Are you ready) Everybody's
(Are you ready for love) Waiting on love
And I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin' if you will stand up
(Are you ready) And let the world know
(Are you ready for love) Hey, hey

(Are you ready) Forgot to tell you
(Are you ready for love) Whoa, over in England
(Are you ready) Northern town gettin' down, y'all
(Are you ready for love) Hey, oh, no, Tokyo

(Are you ready)

Chorus:
Wella wella wella wella
I'm waitin' for the bell to go ding dong ding dong
You're the lover boy I'm meetin' after school at 3

First one out when the bell is gonna ring is me
Gotta lot of dates to memorize in history

Why I gotta learn those numbers is a mystery
A date with you after school is the only date I know
Chorus
Chorus
Gotta study up for French vocabulary
To learn a lot of words and how to spell em right

Only know the words that I find necessary
(French for I love you) is all I know
It means that I love you
Chorus
First one out when the bell is gonna ring
First one out when the bell is gonna ring
First one out when the bell is gonna ring is me 

Lovers Of The World Unite
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): David & Jonathan; Poor Rich Ones; The Vogues



Lovers of the world unite
You alone know what is right
People all should feel this way
Needing someone every day
Keep the fire of dreamers bright
Lovers of the world unite

All good people, hear my song
If you feel the world is wrong
All division, nothing shared
Dreams have died and no one cared
Seems that just the young know how
So I ask them, listen now

Lovers of the world unite
You alone know what is right
People all should feel this way
Needing someone every day
Keep the fire of dreamers bright
Lovers of the world unite

Such a pity, such a shame
Man has only he to blame
Give them beauty, give them life
He created a toil and strife
It seems that just the young know how
So I ask them, listen now

Lovers of the world unite
You alone know what is right
People all should feel this way
Needing someone every day
Keep the fire of dreamers bright
Lovers of the world unite

Are You Ready For A Miracle

Are you ready for a miracle
As ready as I can be
Are you ready for a miracle
The spirit will set you free
Are you ready, ready, ready, ready
I'm ready, I'm ready for a miracle

Jesus went unto the well
and made the water wine
Raised up Lazarus from the dead
Restored sight to the blind
Jesus man of Galilee
He walked across the sea
He said Greater than this shall you do
Gave the power to you and me

Are you ready for a miracle
As ready as I can be
Are you ready for a miracle
The spirit will set you free
Are you ready, ready, ready, ready
I'm ready, I'm ready for a miracle

Jesus taught the lame to walk
destroyed the Devil's plan
Healed a leper feed five thousand
with just one command
Said, He who has ears, let him hear
He told the multitudes
And blessed be the pure of heart
for they shall see the truth

Are you ready for a miracle
As ready as I can be
Are you ready for a miracle
The spirit will set you free
Are you ready, ready, ready, ready
I'm ready for a miracle

Blessed be the ones who mourn for
they shall find their peace
Blessed be the ones who thirst
and blessed be the meek
Now are you ready, ready
Are you ready, ready
Blessed be the innocent
for they shall all be free
Blessed be the miracle
that's made for you and me
Now are you ready, ready
Are you ready, ready

Are you ready for a miracle
As ready as I can be
Are you ready for a miracle
The spirit will set you free
Are you ready, ready, ready, ready
I'm ready, I'm ready for a miracle

Is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her
Show her to me
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazing
How I love to sit and gazing
To the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I?
Shake with pride?
'Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China?
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Mills Bros. repeat verse
Bing scats
Every night why do I?
Shake with pride?
'Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me
The name of this song is Dinah
Said it
The name of this song is Dinah
Snag it
The name of this song is Dinah
Ah, tell it
The name of this song is Dinah
Dinah
Wander to China
The state of Carolina
Listen and you know her
I would like to have you show her to me
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazing
How I love to sit and gazing
To the eyes of Dinah Lee
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China
I would get me an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee

While You're Dancing
Composer(s): Bobby Braddock
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



While you're dancing I'll just sit here at this lonely table
While you're laughing I'll try to force a smile as long as I'm able
While you're clinging to them I'll keep clinging to the past
Getting sicker inside while the lonely minutes pass
Oh the nights never end too fast while you're dancing

While you're dancing for just a moment you're anybody's baby
You're romancing in your mind or behind my back maybe
In your heart you keep wishing that I would go away
So you could leave with someone else I wasn't born yesterday
Oh I don't know what to do or say while you're dancing

It seems like such a sin you'd make me feel this way
But sometimes I wonder if you know what feeling is
I guess I'll always let you make me feel this way
And as long as you let me I'll stay

While you're dancing I'll just keep on a sittin' at this table
While they're laughin' at me I'll try to take it just as long as I'm able
While you're wandering cross the floor I'll keep wondering deep inside
If I had walked out long ago how much less would I have cried
Oh how many times have I cried while you're dancing
Oh how many times have I cried while you're dancing

I love the way you walk
Said I'm crazy 'bout your walk
I love the way you talk
When you're talkin' that talk
I love the way you walk
You're my babe
I got my eyes on you

I see you every day
In the neighbourhood
I see you every day
And you sure look good
I see you every day
You're my baby
Got my eyes on you
Got my eyes on you baby!

I see you every day
In your neighbourhood
I see you every day
Woman, you sure look good
You know I see you every day
You're my babe
I got my eyes on you

Well I see you every day
Walkin' up and down the street
You got on your high-heel sneakers, baby
And you sure look neat
Well I said I see you every day
Liitle baby
I got my eyes on you

Well you got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got them dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You're my baby
Got my eyes on you

Well, I love the way you walk
Said I'm crazy 'bout your walk
I love the way you talk
When you're talkin' that talk
I love the way you walk
You're my babe
I got my eyes on you

Are You Passionate?
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young



Are you passionate?
Are you livin' like you talk?
Are you dreamin' now
that you're goin' to the top?
Are you negative
In a world that never stops
Turnin' on you?
Turnin' on me?
Turnin' on you?

Are you loving it?
Can you ever get enough of it?
Is it everything?
A love that never stops
Comin' to you?
Comin' to me?
Comin' to you?

Once I was a soldier
I was fighting in the sky
And the gunfire kept
comin' back on me
So I dove into the darkness
And I let my missles fly
And they might be the ones
That kept you free

Once I was a prisoner
I was riding in a truck
Cleaned up for public display
I looked at those around me
And when they looked at me
I let them see my soul that day

Are you scared of it?
Do you wish that it would stop?
Does it bother you
when you hear your spirit talk?
Well I'm right with you
Yes I'm right with you
It's working on me
It's working on you
It's working on me

Par ton silence, tu parais la plus forte
Mais tu sais bien, que toi et moi
On ne peut pas se séparer comme ça

Donne-moi ma chance allons fais un effort
Les apparences sont contre moi encore
Mais je te jure que ce n'est rien
Je ne veux pas te supplier en vain

Ne me dis rien pour le moment
Réfléchis bien, mais si tu m'aimes vraiment
Donne-moi ma chance, donne-moi ma chance encore
Donne-moi ma chance, allons fais un effort
Donne-moi ma chance, donne-moi ma chance encore

'k Was haar vriend voor een dag
Een van de velen, dat was ik
'k Was haar vriend voor een dag
Een van de velen, dat was ik
Ja, dat was ik, een vriend voor een dag
(Jij had haar niet moeten laten schieten)

Ze liep langs de straten, ik vond haar geweldig
Ze knipoogde naar me, en ik zag 't net
We gingen wat drinken en laat op de avond
Nodigde zij me uit, bij haar op de flat

De dag daarop zag ik haar
Ze hing weer rond in een bar

'k Was haar vriend voor een dag
Een van de velen, dat was ik
'k Was haar vriend voor een dag
Een van de velen, dat was ik
Ja, dat was ik, een vriend voor een dag
(Jij had haar niet moeten laten schieten)

Vertel me eens, zag jij ooit een meisje
Dat zo onverschillig met harten speelt
Ze zag er zo lief uit, haar ogen die glansden
Ik dacht dat wij alles hadden gedeeld

Maar o, als ze weer naar me lacht
Ben ik weer in haar macht

'k Was haar vriend voor een dag
Een van de velen, dat was ik
'k Was haar vriend voor een dag
Een van de velen, dat was ik
Ja, dat was ik, een vriend voor een dag
(Jij had haar niet moeten laten schieten)

(Jij had haar niet moeten laten schieten)
(Jij had haar niet moeten laten schieten)
(Jij had haar niet moeten laten schieten) ...

Composer(s): Richard Thompson
First release by: Richard and Linda Thompson - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



This old house is falling down around my ears
I’m drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day

You pulled me like the moon
Pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side

What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day

Come the night you’re only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant

I see you the street and in company
Why don’t you come and rest your mind with me
I’m living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day...

Dimmi Chi Dorme Accanto A Me
Composer(s): Danilo Riccardi - Renato Zero
Performer(s): Renato Zero



La notte voli
la notte ti consoli
dimmi chi dorme accanto a me...
i tuoi pensieri
si muovono furtivi
dimmi chi dorme accanto a me
bella e disarmante tu sei qua
ma il tuo desiderio quanta strada fa
mille modi per fuggire via...
Non sei più mia
Tu soffri tanto
ti soffoco lo sento
dimmi chi dorme accanto a me
un corpo nudo
sei tu almeno credo
dimmi chi dorme accanto a me
con questo buio giuro non distinguo se
sono da solo a far l'amore con te
così affollata la tua mente non so
di quale orgasmo morirò
sussurri tanti nomi tranne che il mio
al punto che non lo ricordo neanch'io...
E il mio riscatto come sempre sarà... il letto
Dimmi chi dorme accanto a me
se sto sbagliando un'altra volta
dipendo ancora da un perché
eppure ancora non mi basta...
la paura di restare soli
l'incoscienza la malinconia
mentre dormo aspetto che ritorni...
vincerà il tuo buon senso chissà...
Dimmi chi dorme accanto a me
se in tutto questo una ragione c'è...
Supposizioni
le solite apprensioni
dimmi chi dorme accanto a me
vestaglia rosa
profumo di mimosa
ma il tempo mio chissà qual'è
e fatalmente a mezzanotte fuggi via
sulla tua nuvola cercando compagnia
non solo angeli in quel cielo incontrerai
se stai con me non rischierai
non sarò io quel concentrato di virtù
l'uomo ideale che t'immagini tu
ma sono qui, comunque io sono qui... ancora!
Dimmi chi dorme accanto a me
non ho più dignità ne orgoglio
ogni risveglio è una sorpresa con te...
finirla qui sarebbe meglio...
amori brevi amori insoddisfatti
spero che non vi rivivrò mai più
ma non c'è un amore che non ha difetti...
dove sei, dove sei, dove sei!
Dimmi chi dorme accanto a me
se in tutto questo una ragione c'è

Dimmi Che Credi
Composer(s): Antonello Venditti
Performer(s): Antonello Venditti



Se tu ragazzo cercherai
nella stagione dei tuoi guai
un pò d'amore un pò d'affetto
e nella notte griderai
e in fondo al buio troverai
solo il cuscino del tuo letto
non devi piangere
non devi credere
che questa vita non sia bella
per ogni anima per ogni lacrima
nel cielo nasce un'altra stella
Molti si bucano altri si estasiano
e non troviamo mai giustizia
e non si parlano e poi si perdono
perchè non amano abbastanza
tu non ti arrendere
non ti confondere
apri il tuo cuore all'universo
che questo mondo sai
bisogna prenderlo
solo così sarà diverso
Dimmi che credi dimmi che credi
come ci credo io
in questa vita in questo cielo
come ci credo io
il tuo sorriso tra la gente
passerà forse indifferente
ma non ti sentirai più solo
sei diventato un uomo
E nella notte cercherai
nella stagione dei tuoi guai
un pò d'amore un pò d'affetto
e disperato griderai
e in fondo al buio stringerai
solo il cuscino del tuo letto
non devi piangere
non devi credere
che questa vita non sia bella
per ogni lacrima per ogni anima
nel cielo nasce un'altra stella
Dimmi che credi dimmi che credi
come ci credo io
in questa vita in questo mondo
come ci credo io
tu non ti arrendere
non ti confondere
apri il tuo cuore all'universo
che questo mondo sai
bisogna prenderlo
solo così sarai diverso
non devi piangere
non devi credere
che questa vita non sia bella
per ogni anima per ogni lacrima
nel cielo nasce un'altra stella

Abramo non andare non partire
non lasciare la tua casa
Cosa speri di trovar?
La strada è sempre quella
ma la gente è differente
ci è nemica
Dove credi di arrivar?

Born, born to be Abramo
born to be Abramo
Andate e predicate il mio Vangelo
parola di Jahvé

Esci dalla tua terra
vai dove ti mostrerò
Parola di Jahvé
Esci dalla tua terra
vai dove ti mostrerò

Le reti sulla spiaggia abbandonate
le han lasciate i pescatori
son partiti con Gesù
La folla che osannava se n'è andata
ma in silenzio e una domanda
sembra ai dodici portar

Born, born to be Abramo
born to be Abramo

Quello che lasci tu lo conosci
il tuo Signore cosa ti dà?
Un popolo, la terra e la promessa
parola di Jahvé

Esci dalla tua terra
vai dove ti mostrerò
Parola di Jahvé
Esci dalla tua terra
vai dove ti mostrerò

Parola di Jahvé, parola di Jahvé
parola di Jahvé, parola di Jahvé
La parola di Jahvé è la parola di Jahvé
Abramo non andare, non partire
non sono mica Bhagwan o Sai Baba
io sono Jahvè
