Bring The Boys Home Composer(s): Angelo Bond; General Johnson; Greg Perry Performer(s): Freda Payne; Bobbye Johnson
Fathers are pleading, lovers are all alone Mothers are praying--send our sons back home You marched them away--yes, you did--on ships and planes To the senseless war, facing death in vain
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Turn the ships around, lay your weapons down
Can't you see 'em march across the sky, all the soldiers that have died Tryin' to get home--can't you see them tryin' to get home? Tryin' to get home--they're tryin' to get home Seesaw fire on the battlefield Enough men have already been wounded or killed
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Turn the ships around, lay your weapons down (Mothers, fathers and lovers, can't you see them)
Oooh, oooh... Tryin' to get home--can't you see them tryin' to get home? Oooh, oooh... Tryin' to get home--they're tryin' to get home
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive) What they doing over there, now (bring 'em back alive) When we need them over here, now (bring 'em back alive) What they doing over there, now (bring 'em back alive) When we need them over here, now (bring 'em back alive)
Let's Boogie Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul
I used to read it in my paperback books I had imagination but not the looks I never knew what I had missed But they never said that it would be like this
I used to watch it in the picture shows To learn about the things that I didn't know And then I'd dream about tha movie kiss But they never said that it would be like this
Let's boogie, boogie woogie boogie They never said that it would be like this Let's boogie, boogie woogie boogie Boogie is the only thing I can't resist
How I would listen to the other girls With painted faces and their hair all in curls And then I'd make my owm analysis But they never said that it would be like this
Let's boogie, boogie woogie boogie They never said that it would be like this Let's boogie, boogie woogie boogie Boogie is the only thing I can't resist
Now you can moralise as much as you please About the birds and also the bees I don't believe that ignorance is bliss 'Cos they never said that it would be like this No they never said that it would be like this
Let's boogie, boogie woogie boogie They never said that it would be like this Let's boogie, boogie woogie boogie Boogie is the only thing I can't resist Let's boogie, boogie woogie boogie They never said that it would be like this Let's boogie, boogie woogie boogie Boogie is the only thing I can't resist

Een droom laat je hart iets wensen Als je heel diep slaapt Hij zorgt dat bij vele mensen De pijn dan hun ziel snel verlaat

De wens in mijn droom wordt echt waar
Dus laat je hart niet langer treuren Want eens zal het gebeuren De wens in je droom wordt echt waar

L'étrangère Composer(s): Louis Aragon - Léo Ferré Performer(s): Yves Montand
Il existe près des écluses un bas quartier de bohémiens Dont la belle jeunesse s'use à démêler le tien du mien En bande on s'y rend en voiture ordinairement au mos d'août Ils disent la bonne aventure, pour des piments et du vin doux on passe la nuit claire à boire, on danse en frappant dans ses mains on n'a pas le temps de le croire, il fait grand jour et c'est demain On revient d'une seule traite, gais, sans un sou, vaguement gris Avec des fleurs plein les charrettes, son destin dans la paume écrit J'ai pris la main d'une éphémère, qui m'a suivi dans ma maison Elle avait des yeux d'outremer, elle en montrait la déraison Elle avait la marche légère, et de longues jambes de faon J'aimais déjà les étrangères quand j'étais un petit enfant! Celle-ci parla vite vite de l'odeur des magnolias Sa robe tomba tout de suite quand ma hâte la délia En ce temps là, j'étais crédule, un mot m'était promission Et je prenais les campanules pour des fleurs de la passion.. Quand c'est fini tout recommence, toute musique me séduit Et la plus banale romance m'est éternelle poésie.. Nous avons joué de notre âme, un long jour, une courte nuit Puis au matin: "bonsoir madame", l'amour s'achève avec la pluie
Bring It On Home Composer(s): Willie Dixon Originally performed by: Sonny Boy Williamson Covered by various other artists
Baby, baby I'm gonna bring it on home to you

Baby, baby I'm gonna bring it on home to you
I think about the good times I once have had Soul got happy now, my heart got glad I think about the way you love me too You can bet your life, I'm comin' home to you
I'm goin' home I'm gonna bring it on home, now I'm gonna bring it on home, now I'm gonna bring it on home, now Gonna bring it on home bring it on home to you
L'étrangère ((Greek Version: O Dikastis (by Mikos Theodorakis)) Composer(s): Mikos Theodorakis - M. Eleftheriou - Pierre Delanoë - Performer(s): Melina Mercouri
Le rire des bourreaux est noir L'innocent chante son espoir Et l'adieu sur le quai d'un port oh oh oh oh Avec la vie, avec la vie Porte la mort Monsieur le Juge porte la loi Et la prison au bout des doigts Moi l'étrangère universelle oh oh oh oh Je porte le deuil de mon ciel Moi l'étrangère universelle oh oh oh oh Je porte le deuil de mon ciel
L'amour porte en lui le bonheur Ou le chagrin selon les heures Et la justice qui punit oh oh oh oh Avec la Mort, avec la Mort Porte la Vie Et la colombe va s'envoler Sous le nez du serpent volé Moi l'étrangère universelle oh oh oh oh Je porte le deuil de mon ciel Moi l'étrangère universelle oh oh oh oh Je porte le deuil de mon ciel

You can take, you can give Let him be, please let him live
For if I die, let me die Please let him live, bring Him Home Bring Him Home ...
