La nuit le jour j'entends au fond de moi un écho o o o Il a ton rire, ta douceur et ta voix cet écho o o o o o Quand il m'ennuie je voudrais l'oublier mais alors o o o Il se fait tendre Et se met à chanter bien plus fort o o o o o
C'est le témoin invisible De tout ce que je fais Et d'une voix impassible Il commente la journée
Tu vois ce nuage noir il va sûrement pleuvoir o o o Tout va s'arranger puisqu'on se retrouve ce soir o o o o o Si ce garçon en dansant te pose des problèmes o o o Je t'en supplie n'oublies pas N'oublies pas que je t'aime o o o o o
Lorsque la journée s'achève Je pense à notre bonheur Et j'entends encore en rêve Mon écho au fond du cur

Lèche-Cocu Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Comme il chouchoutait les maris Qu'il les couvrait de flatteries Quand il en pinçait pour leurs femmes Qu'il avait des cornes au cul On l'appelait lèche-cocu Oyez tous son histoire infâme
Si l'mari faisait du bateau Il lui parlait de tirant d'eau De voiles, de mâts de misaine De yacht, de brick et de steamer Lui, qui souffrait du mal de mer En passant les ponts de la Seine
Si l'homme était un peu bigot Lui qui sentait fort le fagot Criblait le ciel de patenôtres Communiait à grand fracas Retirant même en certains cas L'pain bénit d'la bouche d'un autre
Si l'homme était sergent de ville En sautoir - mon Dieu, que c'est vil - Il portait un flic en peluche Lui qui, sans ménager sa voix Criait: "Mort aux vaches" autrefois Même atteint de la coqueluche
Si l'homme était un militant Il prenait sa carte à l'instant Pour bien se mettre dans sa manche Biffant ses propres graffiti Du vendredi, le samedi Ceux du samedi, le dimanche
Et si l'homme était dans l'armée Il entonnait pour le charmer "Sambre-et-Meuse" et tout le folklore Lui, le pacifiste bêlant Qui fabriquait des cerfs-volants Avec le drapeau tricolore
Boatman Composer(s): Livingston Taylor; Maggie Taylor Performer(s): James Taylor; Livingston Taylor
Hearts were exploding around us As we drifted south down the bay The gray up above and gray down below Left us with nothing to say
So we drifted along in silence 'Til the tickle of life trickled in And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand We were catching fire again
Chorus: Oh boatman, I am the river I am the mountain and the sea Oh boatman, taker and giver Can you deliver me I would forever run free
Yeah we finally caught up with legends We were walking along side by side We worked out a plan To go out hand in hand But the long trail just wasn't that wide
The water around us was freezing We just laughed and threw ourselves in And although we were old The sting of that cold Pumped up the feeling, here it is again
Chorus
Oh I'm a message in a bottle Drifting along on a deep blue sea Waiting for some foreign shore Ready for something to be
No longer afraid of falling We cut the strings to the sky We found level ground And we put ourselves down Amazing we all didn¹t die
We took each moment as given By second by second they came The ice and the sun and the thundering guns Good God I was finally sane

Swing Me A Lullaby Composer(s): Don Raye - Hughie Prince - Tom Waring Performer(s): Connee Boswell; Louis Prima; Wingy Manone
"Rockabye my baby", my momma sings to me "In a treetop, going sleepy bye" But I'd rather have a hot band to rock my cradle And swing me a lullaby!
"Bye bye baby buddy" is such a silly song And I know the bogeyman's a lie! I know a better way to sleep Than just by countin' sheep Oh, swing me a lullaby!
"Little fishy in the brook Poppa catch 'im by the hook" Puts me to sleep quick enough But for my lullaby Give me a "Hi-de-hi!" and stuff!
Oh, guess my mom will always sing me lullabies But I wish she'd really learn to try Instead of "Mighty lak' a rose" Sing me "Honeysuckle rose" And swing me a lullaby!
Guess my mom will always sing me lullabies But I wish she'd really learn to try Instead of "Mighty lak' a rose" Sing me "Honeysuckle rose" And swing Oh momma, swing me a lullaby!
Boat Drinks Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Boat drinks Boys in the band ordered boat drinks Visitors scored on the home rink Everything seems to be wrong
Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap air fare I gotta to fly to Saint Somewhere I'm close to bodily harm
Twenty degrees and the hockey game's on Nobody cares they are way too far gone Screamin' "boat drinks", something to keep 'em all warm
This mornin', I shot six holes in my freezer I think I got cabin fever Somebody sound the alarm
I'd like to go where the pace of life's slow Could you beam me somewhere Mr. Scott? Any ol' place here on Earth or in space You pick the century and I'll pick the spot
Oh I know, (I know) I should be leaving this climate I got a verse but can't rhyme it I gotta go where it's warm
Boat drinks Waitress I need two more boat drinks Then I'm headin' south 'fore my dream shrinks
I gotta go where it's warm (I gotta go where it's warm) I gotta go where it's warm (I gotta go where it's warm) I gotta go where it's warm!
I gotta go where there ain't any snow Where there ain't any blow 'Cause my fin sinks so low I gotta go where it's warm

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go I'm standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
There are so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you Every song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you One more time Let me kiss you Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times, I won't have to say
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go

Leaving Nancy Composer(s): Eric Bogle Performer(s): Eric Bogle and multiple other artists
In comes the train and the whole platform shakes It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes The parting has come and my weary soul aches I'm leaving my Nancy-O
And you stand there so calmly, determinedly gay You talk of the weather and events of the day But your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say Goodbye my Nancy-O
And come a little closer Put your head upon my shoulder And let me hold you one last time Before the whistle blows
My suitcase is lifted and stowed on the train A thousand regrets whirl around in my brain The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain I'm leaving my Nancy-O
But you stand there beside me so lovely to see But the grip of your hand is an unspoken plea You're not fooling yourself and you're not fooling me Goodbye my Nancy-O
And come a little closer Put your head upon my shoulder And let me hold you one last time Before the whistle blows
But our time has run out and the whistle has blown So here I must leave you standing alone We had so little time and now the time's gone Goodbye my Nancy-O
And as the train starts gently to roll And as I lean out to wave and to call I see the first tears trickle and fall Goodbye my Nancy-O
And come a little closer Put your head upon my shoulder And let me hold you one last time Before the whistle blows And let me hold you one last time Before the whistle blows
Hennes blus är gul och hon har blåa jeans Som hon har köpt på Gul & Blå Hennes fötter saknar markkontakt För skorna har en jättehög platå Och jag undrar vad hon tänker På sin halta promenad Hennes tajta brallbak blänker Men hon verkar inte glad Hon tycks ha nog av hur hon tar sej ut Tills hon har tagit sej in till slut
Hennes ögon verkar släckta Under ögonlock i silvervitt och blått Hennes blickar riktas framåt De har inte vikit alls där hon har gått Om man talar till den damen Kan man känna sej ganska viss Om att inte få nått svar men Hennes ögon åker hiss Och visst känner man sej tacksam som publik När man får se ett livs levande lik
Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight Composer(s): Rodney Crowell - Donivan Cowart Performer(s): Rodney Crowell and multiple other artists
Mary took to running with a travelin' man Left her momma crying with her head in her hands Such a sad case, so broken hearted She say momma, I got to go, I gotta get outta here I gotta get out of town; I'm tired of hanging around I gotta roll on between the ditches
It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go Round and around nobody knows, but the highway Goes on forever, that 'ol highway rolls on forever Lord she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running with a travelin man
If she hadn't started taking those crazy changes She say daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelin kind Everywhere he's goin' such a very short time He'll be long gone before you know it, he'll be long Gone before you know it She say never have I known it when it felt so good Never have I knew it when I knew I could Never have I done it when it looked so right Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
This is down in the swampland, anything goes It's alligator bait and the bars don't close It's the real thing down in Louisiana
Did you ever see a cajun when he really got mad When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad It gets real hot down in Louisiana
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will It ain't no time for lengthy speeches There ain't no time for lengthy speeches She say never have I know it when it felt so good Never have I knew it when I knew I could Never have I done it when it looked so right Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go Round and around nobody knows, but the highway goes on forever There ain't no way to stop the water
Blumen Für Die Damen Composer(s): Joachim Fuchsberger; Heinz Gietz Performer(s): Nina Hagen
Wenn nachts schon viele schlafen noch 1000 Lichter glühen darin muß ich durch die Straßen und viele Häuser ziehen Wenn dunkelrote Rosen auf weißen Tischen stehen wenn Hände sich liebkosen dann muß ich weitergehn Allein! in dieser großen Stadt und niemand der mir auch nur einmal Blumen schenkt Das Glück mich längst vergessen hat kein Mensch auf der Welt der in Liebe an mich denkt ich bin allein! So zieh ich durch die Straßen wie lang ich weiß es kaum und darf ich endlich schlafen dann sag' ich noch im Traum Blumen für die Damen!
