Mialem dziesiec lat, gdy uslyszal o nim swiat W mej piwnicy byl nasz klub Kumpel radio zniósl, uslyszalem "Blues Sued Shoes" I nie moglem w nocy spac Wiatr odnowy wial, darowano reszty kar Znów sie mozna bylo smiac W kawiarniany gwar jak tornado jazz sie wdarl I ja tez chcialem grac Ojciec, Bóg wie gdzie, martenowski stawial piec Mnie paznokiec z palca zszedl Z gryfu zostal wiór, gralem milion róznych bzdur I poznalem co to seks Pocztówkowy szal, kazdy z nas ich piecset mial Zamiast nowej pary dzins A w sobotnia noc byl Luksemburg, chata, szklo Jakze sie chcialo zyc!
Bylo nas trzech, w kazdym z nas inna krew Ale jeden przyswiecal nam cel Za kilka lat miec u stóp caly swiat, wszystkiego w bród Alpagi lyk i dyskusje po swit Niecierpliwy w nas ciskal sie duch Ktos dostal w nos, to poplakal sie ktos, cos dzialo sie
Poróznila nas, za jej Poli Raksy twarz Kazdy by sie zabic dal W pewna letnia noc, gdzies na dach wynioslem koc I dostalem to, com chcial Powiedziala mi, ze klopoty moga byc Ja jej, ze egzamin mam Odkrecila gaz, nie zapukal nikt na czas Znów jak pies bylem sam
Stu róznych ról, czym ugasic mój ból Nauczylo mnie zycie jak nikt W wyrku na wznak przechlapalem swój czas, najlepszy czas W knajpie dla braw klezmer kazal mi grac Takie rzeczy, ze jeszcze mi wstyd Pewnego dnia zrozumialem, ze ja nie umiem nic Sluchaj mnie, tam, pokonalem sie sam Oto wysnil sie wielki mój sen Tysieczny tlum spija slowa z mych ust, kochaja mnie W hotelu fan mówi: "Na tasmie mam To, jak w gardlach im rodzi sie spiew!" Otwieram drzwi i nie mówie juz nic do czterech scian

I fight authority, Authority always wins I fight authority, Authority always wins I been doing it since I was a young kid I come out grinnin' I fight authority, Authority always wins
Don't Eat The Yellow Snow
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa
Dreamed I was an Eskimo
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frozen wind began to blow
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Under my boots 'n around my toe
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frost had bit the ground below
(Boop-boop aiee-ay-ah!)
Was a hundred degrees below zero
(Booh!)
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
And my momma cried
Boo-a-hoo hoo-ooo
And my momma cried
Nanook-a, no no (no no...)
Nanook-a, no no (no no...)
Don't be a naughty Eskimo-wo-oh
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Save your money: don't go to the show
Well I turned around an' I said
Ho Ho
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an' I said
Ho Ho
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an' I said
Ho Ho
An' the Northern Lites commenced t' glow
An' she said
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop...)
With a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go
An' don't you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go
An' don't you eat that yellow snow
Autant D'amour Autant De Fleurs Composer(s): Henri Bassis Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Il y a dans Harlem À se manger des yeux Un couple d'amoureux Qui dansent et quand ils s'aiment La nuit moule leurs corps Leurs gestes et leurs phrases Et leur rire est sonore Comme un sanglot de jazz
Autant d'amour autant de fleurs Y'en a de toutes les couleurs De flamme ou d'ombre De neige ou miel Toutes les roses se confondent Tous les amours qui sont au monde Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel
Il y a dans mon coeur Un cocktail d'amoureux J'invente les aveux Je mêle les liqueurs Il est noir elle est blanche Elle est jeune il est beau La main le long des hanches Glisse comme un oiseau
Autant d'amour autant de fleurs Y'en a de toutes les couleurs De flamme ou d'ombre De neige ou miel Toutes les roses se confondent Tous les amours qui sont au monde Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel
Qu'importent au long des rues Les regards qui s'attardent Qu'importent les échardes Aux amours défendues Il y a dans mon coeur Libres comme les dieux Un couple d'amoureux Qui croise ses couleurs
Autant d'amour autant de fleurs Y'en a de toutes les couleurs De flamme ou d'ombre De neige ou miel Toutes les roses se confondent Tous les amours qui sont au monde Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel

Don't Drop Inn/Workin' On My Attitude
Composer(s): Judy Freudberg - Tony Geiss - Van Dyke Parks
Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap
"Meanwhile everyone from Sesame Street
was trying to find Big Bird
Even me; I love a wild goose chase
One night we ate at a real grunge café
with grunge food and grunge..."
Here I really feel great
When I sing the blues and make you cry
Bye bye
Guess I was born to be
A dark cloud in a sunny sky
...
If I can't make it rain on your parade
I shouldn't be so rude
And I'm workin' on my attitude
Anti-sociable, unemotional, insensitive
Right down to the bone
My personality has possibility
Only a flaw or two
So I'm workin' on my attitude
There's nothing like a friend
Who'll... for hours on end and never smiles
... affection
... and disrespect in style
Say, life's a piece of cake
And I don't watch my weight at all
Lessee
I approach you somewhat rude
But I'm workin' on my attitude
Anti-sociable, unemotional, insensitive
Right down to the bone
My personality has possibility
Only a flaw or two
And I'm workin' on my attitude
Australia Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): Steve Howe
Play the halls See the stalls tonight Open roads the like Across the dateline change will never strike
Australia lies ahead Australia, we head for the mainland Clutching our gifts from the East Only to find out
Planes and the highways Strain the paths and the by-ways Remain, still it's leading me Closer to you
Australia, we're leaving you behind Australia, we're taking the easy way out From now on
"Come to," can't get away from ya still "Come to, we'll take good care of ya"
Australia, you save your face while fashions slip Australia, you're balanaced between The powers' tightening grip I've been to, it's a long way for ya still "Go via, they'll take care of ya"
Don't Do Me Like That
Composer(s): Tom Petty
First release by: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - 1979
I was talkin' with a friend of mine
Said a woman done hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so, then
Turned around and let him go
Then he said "you'd better watch your step"
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday I'll need ya baby
Don't do me like that
Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is sayin'
Love doesn't last that long...
I have the feeling inside, Lord I don't need it
I know I can't take it no more....
Someday I'll need ya baby
Don't do me like that
Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Sans vouloir vraiment Sans intention Sans poser l'ombre d'une question Comme en passant
Sans qu'il soit trop tard Sans déraison Sans s'inquiéter de n'pas savoir Sans se dire non
Se laisser glisser très tendrement Se chavirer tout simplement Le corps brûlant Rien de la vie Rien ne me laisse Aussi vivant Aussi vivant
Sans se dire pourquoi Et sans comment Sans s'envelopper de faux-semblants Et sans contrat
Se laisser aimer très doucement Et s'emmêler obstinément À leurs tourments Rien de la vie Rien ne me laisse Aussi vivant Aussi vivant
Se laisser glisser très tendrement Se chavirer tout simplement Se laisser aimer très doucement Et s'emmêler obstinément
Sans vouloir toujours tellement frémir Sans se convaincre de l'amour sans s'éblouir Se serrer tout contre cet instant Se laisser jouer tout simplement Comme des enfants
Rien de la vie Rien ne me laisse Aussi vivant Aussi vivant
Rien de la vie Vaut qu'on se lasse D'être vivant
Se laisser glisser très tendrement Se chavirer tout simplement Se laisser aimer très doucement Et s'emmêler obstinément
Don't Do It Composer(s): Johnny Burnette Performer(s): Johnny Burnette
If I had a girl that loved me Just as much as she loves you I'd stay in her arms every doggone day And never would be untrue You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
Well you told her lies and alibis You tried to make her think you care But when she wants the little bit of love you promised She can't find it anywhere You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
One of these days you're gonna find yourself All alone and oh so blue Don't come to me for sympathy 'Cause it'll be too late There won't be a thing I can do for you
Well you'd better take her in your lovin' arms And tell her that you're so ashamed Don't try to be smart and break her heart 'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
One of these days you're gonna find yourself All alone and oh so blue Don't come to me for sympathy 'Cause it'll be too late There won't be a thing I can do for you
Well you'd better take her in your lovin' arms And tell her that you're so ashamed Don't try to be smart and break her heart 'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
(repeat): You can't win (you can't win) Don't do it, my friend
Aussi Dur Que Du Bois ((Adapted from: Knock On Wood (by Eddie Floyd) - 1966)) Composer(s): Eddie Floyd - Steve Cropper - Georges Aber Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1967
Quand j'étais enfant on disait Que j'étais un vaurien Et je traînais Dans les rues tout le temps Avec les mêmes copains Oui, je m'en souviens On se cognait, frappait J'avais la tête aussi dure Aussi dure que du bois Je crois
Plus tard dans la vie J'ai donné Mon amour aux filles Quel temps perdu À les aimer pour rien Tous mes ennuis, chagrins Oui, je m'en souviens Et j'ai souffert l'enfer Et j'ai le cur aussi dur Aussi dur que du bois Je crois
Je cherche encore un amour Qui peux tout sauver Amour d'un jour J'en ai plus qu'assez Ils m'ont fait du mal Le voilà mon secret Ne cherchez pas pourquoi Si j'ai le cur aussi dur Aussi dur que du bois C'est ça
Aussi dur que du bois C'est ça Aussi dur que du bois Aussi dur, dur, dur que du bois Aussi dur que du bois...
Don't Dilly Dally On The Way ((aka My Old Man (Said Follow The Van))
Composer(s): Charles Collins - Fred W. Leigh
Performer(s): Mary Lloyd
We had to move away
'Cos the rent we couldn't pay
The moving van came round just after dark
There was me and my old man
Shoving things inside the van
Which we'd often done before, let me remark
We packed all that could be packed
In the van, and that's a fact
And we got inside all that we could get inside
Then we packed all we could pack
On the tailboard at the back
Till there wasn't any room for me to ride
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam
And you can't trust a "Special"
Like the old-time copper
When you can't find your way home
I gave a helping hand
With the marble wash hand-stand
And straight, we wasn't getting on so bad
All at once, the car-man bloke
Had an accident and broke
Well, the nicest bit of china that we had
You'll understand, of course
I was cross about the loss
Same as any other human woman would
But I soon got over that
What with "two out" and a chat
'Cos it's little things like that what does you good
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam
Oh! I'm in such a mess
I don't know the new address
Don't even know the blessed neighbourhood
And I feel as if I might
Have to stay out here all night
And that ain't a goin' to do me any good
I don't make no complaint
But I'm coming over faint
What I want now's a good substantial feed
And I sort 'o kind 'o feel
If I don't soon have a meal
I shall have to rob the linnet of its seed!
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam
Ausencia Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Me duelen las sombras que ocultan el alma si el alma es la mente y la sombra, distancia Me duele la ausencia de mentes más claras que nunca por claras tuvieron morada
Don't Cry Wolf Composer(s): Brian James Performer(s): The Damned
You don't have to listen To what your parents say They don't understand us Their laws we don't obey You can wear what you want There ain't no uniform Go where you want to go Don't stay locked at home
Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf
You stand stand around now Looking like fools But there's a lot you could do There ain't no rules No point in getting bored That won't help if you fail
So come and have some fun now Help us smash it all
Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf
It's no good for you kids Being told what to do There's a lot of kicks for you If you find something new
You don't have to listen To what your parents say They don't understand us Their laws we don't obey You can wear what you want And there ain't no uniform Go where you want to go Don't stay at home
Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf Don't be a fool Don't cry wolf
Aurore Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat First release by: Pierre Rapsat - 1992
Il y a dans les yeux d'Aurore À l'encre des années écrites sur un livre d'or Toute une histoire qui brille C'est tout simplement sa vie Et les souvenirs Que je peux lire Vous emmène danser Dans son passé
Danse, danse, dansait Aurore Avec ton fiancé Danse, danse, dansait Aurore Et vive les mariés
Mais il y a dans les yeux d'Aurore Elle et ses enfants qui fuirent l'Espagne à l'aurore Ils sont venus lui prendre Celui qu'elle aime, Franco Sombre souvenir Que je peux lire Gravé dans le passé Dans son passé
Danse, danse, dansait l'Aurore C'est la fin de l'été Danse, danse, dansait l'Aurore Elle n'a plus jamais dansé
L'histoire est souvent cruelle Elle a quitté le soleil Pour arriver dans ce plat pays Pour que ses enfants grandissent ici
Pour que les siens survivent Pour qu'un jour je puisse lui dire En 1900 est né quelqu'un d'épatant Et même si longtemps elle est restée belle Elle est à jamais fidèle Aux souvenirs Qui l'emmènent danser dans son passé
Danse, danse, danse Aurore Avec ton fiancé Danse, danse, danse Aurore Et vive les mariés
Don't Cry Out Loud
Composer(s): Peter Allen - Carole Bayer Sager
First release by: Peter Allen - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
Baby cried the day the circus came to town 'Cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown While she danced without a net upon the wire I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see Baby is an awful lot like me Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down They left behind her dreams among the litter The different kind of love she thought she'd found There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter But baby can't be broken 'cause you see She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er
Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost made it
Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
