That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be Composer(s): Jacob Brackman - Carly Simon Performer(s): Carly Simon
My father sits at night with no lights on His cigarette glows in the dark The living room is still I walk by, no remark I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines I hear her call sweet dreams But I forgot how to dream
But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry
My friends from college they're all married now They have their houses and their lawns They have their silent noons Tearful nights, angry dawns Their children hate them for the things they're not They hate themselves for what they are And yet they drink, they laugh Close the wound, hide the scar
But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry
You say we can keep our love alive Babe - all I know is what I see The couples cling and claw And drown in love's debris You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds But soon you'll cage me on your shelf I'll never learn to be just me first By myself
Well O.K., it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry We'll marry

J'veux plus courber l'échine J'veux plus saluer bien bas Je n'veux plus qu'les gens d'en haut Passent et me voient pas Je vais semer aux amériques Je vais inventer des lois Des métaux et des usines Je vais fonder Détroit Cadillac Il était comme ça Cadillac Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ... Cadillac Il était comme ça Cadillac Un petit gars Né près d'Toulouse, Garonne ... J'veux plus vivre dans une cage J'veux plus planter de tabac Au sud de la Loire tu n'est rien Si t'es pas Roi des Rois ... Je m'en vais fonder une ville bleue Je m'en vais fonder Détroit D'où jailliront des usines Et un rock de combat Cadillac On est tous comme ça Cadillac Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ... Cadillac Il était comme ça Cadillac Un p'tit gars Comme toi .. Cadillac On est tous comme ça Cadillac Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ... Cadillac Il était comme ça Cadillac Un petit gars Comme toi ...

Fairytale Composer(s): Paul Greedus Performer(s): Dana
Imagine what a fool you're gonna make of me Just think of what you're doin' to my pride You run around and love a lot And never know the good you've got Or where you go or where you've been But don't you know you're living in a fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening, they do come true But you and only you alone believe they do
You're walkin' on a tightrope, but you'd better know There's no one here to catch you if you fall But I understand what's in your mind And how you're waiting right behind I should have known it from the start I'd only be another part of your fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening, they do come true But you and only you alone believe they do
Oh, fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening, they do come true But you and only you alone believe they do
Fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening, they do come true But you and only you alone believe they do
You keep on doin' it, fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening But you and only you alone believe they do
Ring a ring o' rosies A pocketful of posies They do come true.......

Cadeau ((Adapted from: No Charge (by Melba Montgomery) - 1974)) ((Danish Version: Ingen Regning (by Peter Belli) - 1978)) Composer(s): Harlan Howard - Marie Laforêt Performer(s): Marie Laforêt - 1974
Marie Laforêt: Hier soir, dans la cuisine je préparais le dîner, quand mon petit garçon est entré Il m'a tendu un morceau de papier griffonné J'ai essuyé mes mains sur mon tablier et je l'ai lu Et voici ce qu'il disait
L'enfant: Pour avoir fait mon lit toute la semaine 3 francs Pour avoir été aux commissions 1 franc Pour avoir surveillé le bébé pendant que toi tu allais aux commissions 1 franc 25 Pour avoir descendu la corbeille à papiers 75 centimes Pour avoir remonté la corbeille à papiers 1 franc et 10 centimes Pour avoir arrosé les fleurs sur le balcon 25 centimes Total 9 francs et 85 centimes
Marie Laforêt: Je l'ai regardé, il se tortillait en mâchant son crayon et une foule de souvenirs sont revenus à ma mémoire Alors j'ai repris son crayon, j'ai retourné la feuille et voilà ce que j'ai écrit
Marie Laforêt: Pour neuf mois de patience et douze heures de souffrance Cadeau Pour tant de nuits de veille, surveillant ton sommeil Cadeau Pour les tours de manège, les jouets, le collège Cadeau Et quand on fait le tour, le total de mon amour C'est Cadeau
Marie Laforêt: Quand il a eu fini de lire, il avait un gros chagrin dans les yeux Il a levé la tête et a dit
"M'Man, je t'aime très beaucoup"
Il a repris son papier, l'a retourné, et en grosses, grosses lettres, a marqué
"Cadeau"
Marie Laforêt: Et quand on fait le tour, le total de l'amour C'est Cadeau, C'est Cadeau
Fairly In The Money Now Composer(s): Tommy Tate; The Torpedoes Performer(s): The Undertones
Tommy always said he'd make it one day Lead singer in a top show band So with some friends made up tunes to play Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began
Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops And satin suits all dressed to kill Soon Tommy's boys became top of the pops But then the money came over the hill But then the money came over the hill
All the cash to spend on their girlfriends Howard Hughes is missed a turn there And then their interests Are manager's requests They all bought their ranches
Hypnotised by every part that arrived Higher prices for indifferent songs But never the less Tommy's into success So his Torpedoes kept plodding on And his Torpedoes kept plodding on
That's The Way Composer(s): Alan Blaikley - K. Howard Performer(s): The Honeycombs
That's the way we should begin it Take my hand I lead you oh so gently That's the way you set me dreaming That's the way I hit the ceiling With your size and in your eyes I see that that's the way we'll fall in love
Tell me (tell me) That you really love me (I love you) Tell me you really need me So I am sure
That's the way you set me singing That's the way are those bells ringing Though you're shy you know I really wants you All the way don't keep me waiting No delay, no, no, no hesitating Here we go just keep on holding tight And that's the way we'll fall in love
Tell me (tell me) That you really love me (I love you) Tell me you really need me So I am sure
That's the way there's nothing in it That's the way we should begin it Take my hand I lead you oh so gently That's the way we'll fall in love We'll fall in love We'll fall in love

That's The Way Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you I can't play with you no more I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me My friend, the boy next door I can't believe what people saying You're gonna let your hair hang down I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long You're in the darker side of town
And when I'm out I see you walking Why don't your eyes see me Could it be you've found another game to play What did mama say to me
That's the Way Oh, that's The Way it ought to be Yeah, yeah, mama say That's the Way it ought to stay
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river And weren't those tears that filled your eyes And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers But all that lives is born to die And so I say to you that nothing really matters And all you do is stand and cry
I don't know what to say about it When all you ears have turned away But now's the time to look and look again at what you see Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way... That's the way it oughta be Oh don't you know now Mama said... that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah
J'n'ai pas toujours chanté des chansons On s'est divisé autour de mon nom Parfois la colère m'a glissé des doigts Mais ce que j'ai fais c'était bien je crois
J'ai défié les hommes qui truquaient leur jeux J'ai croisé la mort inscrite dans leurs yeux J'ai connu la peur je l'ai maîtrisée Et la moindre erreur j'ai su l'exploiter
À chaque coin de rue se cache une guerre Moi j'aime bien savoir à qui j'ai à faire
Faire face Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face J'ai toujours su faire face Faire face pour me faire une place
J'ai souillé le lit des plus belles femmes Mes mains dans la nuit corrompaient leurs âmes Que l'on m'ai sifflé, trahi ou aimé L'important pour moi c'était d'exister
Le chagrin la haine la peur Ou même l'amitié Sont des vieux mots Qu'il faut enterrer
Faire face Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face
Faire face J'ai toujours su faire face
Faire face pour me faire une place
Oh ! Faire face
Faire, faire, faire Faire face Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face
Oui faire face Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face
Thats The Beginning Of The End Composer(s): Alex Kramer - Joan Whitney Performer(s): Nat King Cole and multiple other artists
When she don't sweet talk anymore Her kiss ain't like it was before It's time you added up the score, my friend That's the beginning of the end
She keeps you waiting for a date Makes no excuse for being late Wake up and recognize your fate, my friend That's the beginning of the end
What she's doing to you, she did to me But I was in love, so how could I see You'd better get wise, you'd better beware Or one of these days you'll turn around and she won't be there
Don't say that you were never told I know that character of old When she starts straying from the fold, my friend That's the beginning of the end
What she's doing to you, she did to me But I was in love, so how could I see You'd better get wise, you'd better beware Or one of these days you'll turn around and she won't be there
Don't say that you were never told I know that character of old When she starts straying from the fold, my friend That's the beginning of the end Thats the beginning of the end
Comienza el día y una luz sentimental nos envuelve, se va la fabulosa sinfonía universal nos envuelve, vuelve, se va tango sexo, sexo y amor tanto tango, tanto dolor mi vida gira en contradicción jamas conquisté mi corazón mas donde estaba cuando paso lo que paso hablándome al espejo solo?
Vengo de un barrio tan mezquino y criminal quizá te queme, queme, quizás vengo de un barrio siempre a punto de estallar quizá te queme, queme, quizás si de nada sirve vivir buscas algo porque morir el tiempo me ha enseñado a mirar a veces me ha enseñado a callar donde estabas cuando paso lo que paso hablándole al espejo sola es tanta la tristeza y es tan ruin que celebro la experiencia feliz la estupidez del mundo nunca pudo y nunca podrá arrebatar la sensualidad
Busco mi piedra filosofal en los 7 locos en el mar en el cadáver exquisito en no tener piedad en la quinta escénica de la música dentro mío, dentro en el amor
Y el... odio tener que pensar preferiría tu sonrisa a toda la verdad avanzo un paso retrocedo y vuelvo a preguntar que algo cambie para no cambiar jamas todo es imperfecto amor ...y obvio
Fair To Even Odds Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Pete Sears Performer(s): Pete Sears
How long, Jack, till we get to Singapore? How long, Joe, did we sign on for? Better keep bailing while the rain pours down The day crews sleeping and the night crews drowned
Fair to even odds, I wager Fair to even odds, I lay If we make it till the sunrise We can make it through the day
Caught at the border running forty-fives A shot in the back could mean goodbye You know I have been shot before And I didn't lay down and die, no
Fair to even odds, I wager Fair to even odds, I give Fair to even I recover Fair to even odds I live
Lie around and clench my teeth Until my jaws are sore Maybe give up cigarettes Till my lungs don't hurt no more
Shot in the back and drawing flies Flat on my belly with bloodshot eyes This is the life I love the best Devil be welcome to the rest
Fair to even odds, I wager Fair to even I adore Away, away, go from my window Don't you bother me no more
Just how far is this day risen? Move my head so I can see Hear the hot sweet winds of heaven Thick and red as blood to me
Fair to even odds, I wager Fair to even odds, I lay If I make it till the sunrise I can make it through the day
I can hear the hangman's hornpipe Blowing high and low and strong Fare to even odds, dear Annie Play no sweeter when I'm gone
