La Rue Des Cœurs Perdus ((aka La Ville Des Âmes En Peine (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1996))
((Adapted from: Lonesome Town (by Rick Nelson) - 1958))
Composer(s): Baker Knight - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1959



Je connais un coin de rue
Où l'on va jeter son cœur
Quand le pauvre ne sait plus
Que répandre ses pleurs

Et malheur à tous ceux-là
Qui n'osent pas le jeter
Ils reviennent sur leurs pas
Avec un cœur usé

Dans la rue des cœurs perdus
Ce soir c'est à mon tour
Dans la rue des cœurs perdus
D'aller pleurer mon amour

Mais j'ai peur et n'ose pas
Jeter ce cœur qui t'aimait
Car peut-être un jour, qui sait?
J'en aurai du regret

Car peut-être un jour, qui sait?
J'en aurai du regret

In A Party Mood
Composer(s): Jack Strachey; Russell Davies
Performer(s): Charles Williams Orch.
and multiple other artists



Darn the socks and wash the clocks and polish up the letter box
And ask the doctor come and look at Tommy
It's honestly enough to drive you barmy
'Specially when you husbands in the army - barmy

Feed the cat and beat the mat and write a note to Auntie Pat
To thank her very kindly for the mincer
She sent it all the ruddy way from Windsor
Shame we've 'ad a mincer since before the war

So who would be a housewife, it's lower than a mouse life
It's enough to make you run away to sea
The world is not my oyster I'm living in a cloister
I'm unable to be me

Free to put me feet up, and turn the blessed heat up
Well I tell you ladies, that will be the day
The weather's always freezing, I've done my flaming knees in
Putting polish on the parlour parquet

Queue for ages in the street, to try to buy a piece of meat
To give the kids a little treat for dinner
When all I'll probably get from Mr Skinner
Is something like a nasty tin of pilchards liver

What's the latest fashion look, and where 've I put me ration book
Perhaps I should be rash and cook me pancake
The tea's about the only thing I can make
I'm sure I've drunk enough of the stuff to drop down dead

What a relief to turn the wireless on

On at just after nine
There's a favourite of mine
It's a beautiful, musical revelry
You can hear the latest thing recorded by Crosby
Or that fairy sugar dancing thing by Tchaikovsky

There's a song about flees
And another called "Trees"
And there's Victor Sylvester and Webster Booth
So now if you've a favourite voice
From Bing to the Piano Boys
Just send a request into Housewives’ Choice

Now at forty years have passed and still we're in the kitchen singing

Put the washing on to spin and get some avacados in
And marinade the meat to make it tender
And don't forget today you've got to send a
rather stroppy letter to the blender mender

Pick the boys up after school and drop them at the swimming pool
And feed them up to turn them into he-men
Do everything but actually be men
That's the life you lead if you're a housewife

Help the baby count his toes, untangle all your pantyhose
Send your auntie Maud a rose and wash your hands and blow your nose
Chop some wood and make a fire
mend a fuse and patch a tyre
Join the local ladies choir
find yourself the time to buy a hat
And that's that

Oh baby, baby, baby

In Over My Head
Composer(s): Eddie Rabbitt; Daniel Tyler; Even Stevens
Performer(s): Dr. Hook



I park on a side street

Slide up the back stairs
Knock on the door and whisper `It's me'
Step into the darkness

She waits in the shadows 
Oh she's so wild
willing and free

I must be crazy comin' up here again
She's got me comin' and goin' eatin' out of her hand
I should be far
far away
But I'm layin' in her bed instead

And I'm in

In over my head

In over my head
Yes
I'm in

In over my head

In over my head

I've never tasted lips any hotter
And I'm gettin' deeper with every kiss
I can't help it
I want it
I love how she loves it

I've got to keep comin' for more of this

I must be crazy... 

Lonesome Suzie
Composer(s): Richard Manuel
First release by: The Band - 1968



Lonesome Suzie, never got the breaks
She's always losing so she sits and cries and shakes
It's so hard just to watch her, and if I touch her
Oh, poor Suzie, I'm wondrin' what to do

She just sits there, hoping for a friend
I don't fit here, but I may have a friend to lend
Maybe I mistook her, but I can't overlook her
Must be someone who can pull her through

Anyone who's felt that bad could tell me what to say
Even if she'd just get mad, she might be better off that way
And where is all the understanding
Her problems can't be that demanding
Why is it she looks that way
Every time she starts to cry?

Lonesome Suzie, I can't watch you cry no longer
If you can use me until you feel a little stronger
I guess just watching you has made me lonesome too
Why don't we get together
What else can we do?

In Oktober
Performer(s): Ramses Shaffy & Liesbeth List



In oktober kwamen wij, in een storm, elkander tegen
Onze liefde bloeide bij mist en hagel, wind en regen
Want het hart maalt om geen enkel seizoen
Wat moet een hart, wat moet een hart, met lente doen?
Januari of april, het doet wat het wil
want het houdt geen kalender bij, dat hart van mij

In een koude winterstad woonden w'in elkanders armen, 
in een huis van liefde dat onze lichamen verwarmde.
Want het hart maalt om geen enkel seizoen.
Wat moet een hart, wat moet een hart, met lente doen?
Januari of april, het doet wat het wil
want het houdt geen kalender bij, dat hart van mij

Onze liefde is voorbij, zoals dat soms kan gebeuren
ook al is nu de maand mei
vol van vogels en van kleuren
De junihemel ziet wel blauw en de zon schijnt op het koren
maar ik huiver van de kou en mijn hart is als bevroren
Want het hart maalt om geen enkel seizoen
Wat moet een hart, wat moet een hart, met lente doen?
Januari of april, het doet wat het wil
want het houdt geen kalender bij, dat hart van mij

Conte de toujours
des siecles passés
deux coeurs étrangers

Et le temps s'arrête

la belle et la bete

pour toi et pour moi

Ahhh....
You say you know somebody
Someone who feels down when you're feeling sad
Who's up when you're glad
But I don't know anybody
Haven't a person, don't know where I stand
Gee you're a lucky man

Hey, I need a friend
Not just a wall that I talk to
But a mind having doors I can walk through
I need a friend
Yes, I do

You say you know somebody
Someone who shows you the way when you're lost
At any cost
But I don't have anybody
I grope the dark and I'm totally blind
Hey don't you think that's unkind?

Hey, I need a friend
Not just a wall that I talk to
But a mind having doors I can walk through
I need a friend

Someone who feels just the way that you do
He reminds me of you
But, you'll have find that body
I'm sorry there's nary a thing I can do

You'll find a friend
Yes, you can

In Napoli
Composer(s): Danny DiMinno; Carmen Lombardo
Performer(s): Dean Martin



In Napoli beside the sea
It happened on a night like this
In Napoli our hearts were free
And we surrendered to a kiss

There 'neath the stars I saw heaven in her eyes
There 'neath the stars I knew this was paradise
All through the night in sweet delight
We shared the tenderness of love
But with the dawn my love was gone
Just like the fading stars above
My lonely heart cries out please come back to me
Beside the sea in dear old Napoli

There 'neath the stars I saw heaven in her eyes
There 'neath the stars I knew this was paradise
All through the night in sweet delight
We shared the tenderness of love
But with the dawn my love was gone
Just like the fading stars above
My lonely heart cries out please come back to me
Beside the sea in dear old Napoli

Ik hou van jou, voor al je mooie woorden en verhalen
Voor de echte liefde die jij me geeft
Ik trek het grote lot en laat me overladen
Door vriendschap, tederheid die in jou leeft
In naam van onze liefde
In naam van onze liefde 

Vandaag vertel je mij terwijl je lippen beven
Dat ook voor jou de wereld open gaat
Dat je op weg wilt naar een ander leven
En je verleden nu achterlaat
In naam van onze liefde
In naam van onze liefde 

En morgen zeg je, klaag je met een stem zo zacht
Dat leven zonder mij geen leven is
Kom, vlucht nu uit die donkere nacht
Naar 't licht ver van die duisternis
In naam van onze liefde
In naam van onze liefde Vergeet van nu af aan je vroeger leed en pijn
Je neemt en krijgt de kans 't geluk nu te beleven
Kom laat ons dan gelukkig zijn
In naam van onze liefde
In naam van onze liefde

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time 
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Oohoohooh .... oooh ....

Sit down, take a look at yourself
Don't you want to be somebody
Someday somebody's gonna see inside
You have to face up, you can't run and hide

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time 
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Unlucky in love, least that's what they say
He lost his head and he gambled his heart away
He still keeps searching though there's nothing left
Staked his heart and lost, now he has to pay the cost

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time 
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

"It's okay", he smiles and says
Though this loneliness is driving him crazy
He don't show what goes on in his head
but if you watch very close you'll see it all

Sit down, take a look at yourself
Don't you want to be somebody
Someday somebody's gonna see inside
You have to face up, you can't run and hide

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time 
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Have you heard about the lonesome loser 
Have you heard about the lonesome loser 
Have you heard about the lonesome loser 
Now tell me have you heard about the lonesome loser

I may not be here tomorrow
But i’m close beside you today

So smile when you kiss me, tomorrow you may cry
But i’ll be true to you in my way
Yes i’ll be true to you in my way

Let that lonesome fiddle man take the lead
He gets the kind of sound that my lonely heart needs
I hear he's lost he darlin' just like me
Let that lonesome fiddle man take the lead

He struck a tune earlier this evening
A lonesome song called faded love
His favorite melody
When I hear he's lost his darlin' just like me
Let that lonesome fiddle man take the lead

There's a world where I can go
and tell my secrets to
In my room 
In my room

In this world I lock out
all my worries and my fears
In my room 
In my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday 

Now it's dark and I'm alone
but I won't be afraid
In my room 
In my room
