Mississippi River Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Un kilomètre d'une rive à l'autre Quelques bateaux à roues Pour touristes en mal d'argonautes Et de machines à sous Et les champs de coton défilent Mais l'oncle Tom est mort Ne chantent plus que des oiseaux un peu perdus Plus de tricheurs, plus de danseuses Plus d'orpheline en pleurs Et plus de barmaid amoureuse Des filons, des trappeurs Plus de lingots plus de pépites On a trouvé l'or noir Mais y'a toujours des bars pour Blancs Des bars pour Noirs
Mississippi River N'oublie pas que toi Toi, tu chantais la liberté des opprimés L'espoir du peuple noir
Dans un beuglant d'Outre-Atlantique Le vieux barman s'endort On assassine sa musique Au fond du transistor Et sa mémoire fait des gammes Ses doigts se posent encore Sur le piano désaccordé qui n'est pas mort
Mississippi River N'oublie pas que toi Toi, tu chantais la liberté des opprimés L'espoir du peuple noir
Mais un jour autour de ta tombe Tous tes copains viendront Les trombones sortiront de l'ombre Ils réinventeront Cette musique un peu bizarre Qui vous sortait du coeur Quand le sang rouge devenait noir au fond des pleurs
Mississippi River N'oublie pas que toi Toi, tu chantais la liberté des opprimés L'espoir du peuple noir
Mississippi River N'oublie pas que toi Toi, tu chantais la liberté des opprimés L'espoir du peuple noir
Garden Of Happiness Composer(s): Edward Lockton; Daniel Wood Performer(s): Richard Crooks
I found a garden in the long ago Fragrant and sweet, with wondrous flowers aglow Shady with trees, where birds from morn till night Sang to my heart of love and all delight
Garden of happiness, skies of blue Shine o'er your golden ways, radiant for you Now I have found you, gladness is mine Garden of happiness and love divine
In that fair garden I would ever stay Loving one heart each hour of every day Never a cloud to dim the skies above Never a tear in that glad place of love
Garden of happiness, skies of blue Shine o'er your golden ways, radiant for you Now I have found you, gladness is mine Garden of happiness and love divine
Love Makes Sweet Music Composer(s): David Allen - Kevin Ayers - Mike Ratledge - Robert Wyatt Performer(s): Soft Machine and multiple other artists
Every night it's the same old scene Drinking wine cos you're scared to dream But you know that things will get better If you let your dreams get wetter than wine It's just a waste of time
When it's dark and you hear your heart beat Walk down moonlight's lonely high street Something sings and you feel sunshine But you know you're full of moonshine, too It's staring at you
Love makes sweet music Makes you want to shout out Love makes sweet music Makes you want to run, makes you want to shout out Makes you want to cry, makes you want to run to ... her
Every day it's the same old tune Tell yourself it's coming soon When it comes it comes so fast You get worried cause that thing won't last with her Then you're back where you were

Mississippi Queen If you know what I mean Mississippi Queen She taught me everything This lady she asked me If I would be her man You know that I told her I'd do what I can To keep her looking pretty Buy her dresses that shine

When the sun goes down, the tide goes out The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout "Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud"
What a dance do they do! Lordy, how I'm tellin' you... They don't need no band... They keep time by clappin' their hand... Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi Mud
Lordy, how they play it! Goodness, how they sway it! Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim How they pound the mire with vigor and vim! Joy! that music thrills me! Boy! it nearly kills me! What a show when they go! Say! they beat it up either fast or slow
When the sun goes down, the tide goes out The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout "Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud"
What a dance do they do! Lordy, how I'm tellin' you... They don't need no band... They keep time by clappin' their hand Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi Mud

L-o-v-e l-o-v-e love There couldn't be a bad word I haven't heard you say Don't you know the needs of any woman You speak words my ears have never heard of The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love L-o-v-e a word you never use l-o-v-e your lips never choose It's enough to make a woman want to give of The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love
It would tear me all to pieces if you ever came to me With more to give than one robbed kiss at nighttime You'll never know the longing that my heart does The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love L-o-v-e a word you never use ...

Garde-moi dans ta poche Pour que tu ne sois jamais seul Et je te ferai oublier toute ta peine Chaque fois que la nuit vient Et qu'on est très loin l'un de l'autre Je veux crier ton nom Oh oui crier ton nom Si ton cur a souffert à cause de nous Nous allons refaire le chemin de notre amour {ad lib}
L-o-v-e (Love) Composer(s): Al Green - Teenie Hodges - Willie Mitchell First release by: Al Green - 1975
I started to write this song about you And then I decided that I would write it all about love And it appeared to me That you wasn't happy And that's for sure, positively That's what the world is made of So give me more L-O-V-E, love Love is a walk down Main street (oh love) Love is an apple that is so sweet (love) Love is something that can't be beat (love)
L-O-V-E is strange to me, Oh I can't explain this feeling Can't you see that salvation is freeing It's all in the heavens, can't you see You can always depend on me To give you love
Love is a flower in my soul (oh love) Love is a story that just can't be told (love) Can't you feel it burning more and more (love) Stop and look at the big wheel roll I can't explain this feeling Can't you see that salvation is freeing I would give my life for the glory Just to be able to tell the story About love I didn't mean to make you mad A sweet story, I thought I had But maybe time will bring us together And I can be such a happy fella About love Love is something that is so divine (oh love) Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love) It can't be measured by no sign (love) In your heart or even in your mind About love, Love is as bright as the morning sun
Mississippi Delta City Blues Composer(s): Terry Kath Performer(s): Chicago
I've got a smile That I put on When I'm not at home When I'm not alone
But it is so hard To make that smile 'Cause I know I'll be at home And alone in a while And if I look in a mirror I see my eyes start to tear I can't help but cry Since you said goodbye
I've got to hide Whhat I'm feelin' inside Can't let them see How you're hurtin' me
So I guess that's what I'll do Won't let them see through Won't let them know That you could hurt me so
I've got a laugh That I put on When I'm not at home When I'm not alone
But it is so hard To fake that laugh When my insides are cryin' And my heart's torn in half And all the music I hear And things I valued so dear Make me feel so blue They all remind me of you
(Now) What can I do (Now) That our love is through And my purpose is gone Still I got to live on
I guess that's what I'll do I won't let them see through I won't let them know That you could hurt me so
Garde Du Corps Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
La limousine stoppe devant le chasseur Je descends, jette un il, écarte les gêneurs C'est mon heure de gloire, je roule, j'redresse le dos J'suis un peu la "star" du show
Je lui ouvr' sa portière, les yeux dans l'horizon Elle dévoile un genou et puis pose un talon Décolleté, robe du soir, hum! sa peau qui sent bon J'suis son garde du corps just' pour ce soir
Elle m'a pris à l'essai Comme on prend un verre d'eau Comme ça d'un trait Sec, ne me montrant que son dos Moi j'aurais aimé pouvoir lui parler d' son passé De mes exploits, c'est qu' moi j'en ai du métier
Comm' salaire, faut l'savoir, c'est pas si mal payé Y a plus cher mais c'est rare et faut être cultivé Si j'provoque des bagarres c'est pour mieux me justifier J'suis son carde du corps just' pour ce soir
Les remords et les regrets J'ignore, j'sais pas c'que c'est Comme ces idiots Mercenaires mal dans leur peau, J'entretiens tout l'temps mon corps, j'le muscule, j'le "gymnastique" L'aspect physique c'est "top' et puis ça fait "pro"
Carde du corps pour un soir, vous pouvez m'appeler J'laisse ma carte au cas où ça pourrait vous brancher Carde du corps pour un soir, j'sais que c'est cher, ça peut payer Pour s'la donner, pour le show
Qui veut un garde du corps? Besoin d'un garde du corps? Qui veut un garde du corps?
Love Looks So Well On You Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Lew Spence - Michael Keith Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Simavi
Like moonlight looks on a country side, like a rose that's silvered with dew Like sunlight looks on a meadow, love looks so well on you Like children look on a carousel, all the joys they feel shining through Like picnics look on a Sunday, love looks so well on you It's bright as the starlight in your eyes, with stardust in your hair And oh, that expression on your face, is one you should always wear Everyday you grow even lovelier, yes, you do, my darling, you do I love you every day of your life, cause love looks so well on you
