    The Gun
    Composer(s): Jim Reeves - Lou Reed - Mildred Burk - Rose Burk
    Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Lou Reed



    This is the story of love that came undone
    This is the story of two men and a gun of two men and a gun
    A man that I'd never met stole my wife and son
    But that's been nearly three years now and it's over with and done
    At first I'd stare out into space while hate consumed my soul
    Hate was the creed by which I lived and revenge my only goal
    But the road to happiness isn't paved with hate
    I'm glad I learned how to forgive before it was too late
    Now here's the way the other man paid for what he'd done
    I heard it from the man's own lips who took my wife and son
    I didn't really know this man but I'd seen him round
    He's a new guard at the factory where I work west of town
    This fellow swung into step with me and said I've got to talk
    I listened spellbound at his words as we stood on the walk
    You the guard said hoarsely are a kind man I surmise
    As he stood there with his handkerchief wiping in his eyes
    Three years ago I wronged a man I stole his wife and son
    I didn't realize then the terrible thing that I had done
    This thing gets hold of me at night and I can't sleep or rest
    Forgive me sir but telling it seems to get it off my chest
    When my past looms up like this it kinda helps me to unload
    I'm one man sir who knows for sure that you reap just what you've sowed
    I sure appreciate your listening it helps me a lot
    You know to have that man's forgiveness I'd give everything I've got
    Well I feel much better now I I didn't get your name
    More why that was my wife's name before we wed it's odd your name's the same
    You know I'd kill a man who'd do to me the thing that I've done
    And when the truth got through to him he handed me his gun
    As I gave the weapon back I said what's done is done
    All I ask is just be kind to Jenny and my son

    Ik verveel me hier dood
    zo moederziel alleen
    mijn kamer maakt me gek
    waar moet ik heen?
    weet je wat we doen
    ik heb een goed idee
    we stappen op de bus
    rijden naar de zee

    een dagje aan de kust

    da`s ok! ja, da`s ok!
    da`s ok! ja, da`s ok!

    schrijf de naam in het zand

    zingen in de zon
    the buzz klub is hier
    zing mee! ja, zing maar mee
    zing mee! kom, zing maar mee

    wat een zalig gevoel
    vrolijk en blij
    wat een knotsgekke boel

    Fotheringay
    Composer(s): Sandy Denny
    Performer(s): Sandy Denny;
    and various other artists



    How often she has gazed from castle windows o'er
    And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall
    With no-one to heed her call

    The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun
    And in a lonely moment those embers will be gone
    And the last of all the young birds flown

    Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before
    To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door
    But those days will last no more

    Tomorrow at this hour she will be far away
    Much farther than these islands
    Or the lonely Fotheringay

    On Tombigbee river so bright I was born
    In a hut made ob husks ob de tall yaller corn
    An dar I fust meet wid my Jula so true
    An I row'd her about In my Gum Tree Canoe

    Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue
    Like a feather we'll float, In my Gum Tree Canoe

    All day in de field de soft cotton I hoe
    I tink of my Jula an sing as I go
    Oh I catch her a bird, wid a wing ob true blue
    An at night sail her round in my Gum Tree Canoe
    Singing row away

    Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue
    Like a feather we'll float, In my Gum Tree Canoe

    Wid my hands on de banjo and toe on de oar
    I sing to de sound ob the rivers soft roar
    While de stars dey look down at my Jula so true
    An' dance in her eye in my Gum Tree Canoe
    Singing row away

    Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue
    Like a feather we'll float, In my Gum Tree Canoe

    Originally performed by: Les Poppy's
    Covered by various other artists



    C'est l'histoire d'une trêve
    Que j'avais demandée
    C'est l'histoire d'un soleil
    Que j'avais espéré
    C'est l'histoire d'un amour
    Que je croyais vivant
    C'est l'histoire d'un beau jour
    Que moi petit enfant
    Je voulais très heureux
    Pour toutes la planète
    Je voulais, j'espérais
    Que la paix règne en maître
    En ce soir de Noël
    Mais tout a continué
    Mais tout a continué
    Mais tout a continué

    Non, non, rien a changé
    Tout, tout a continué
    Hé! Hé! Hé! Hé!

    Non, non, rien a changé
    Tout, tout a continué
    Hé! Hé! Hé! Hé!

    Et pourtant bien des gens
    Ont chanté avec nous
    Et pourtant bien des gens
    Se sont mis à genoux
    Pour prier, oui pour prier
    Pour prier, oui pour prier
    Mais j'ai vu tous les jours
    A la télévision
    Même le soir de Noël
    Des fusils, des canons
    J'ai pleuré, oui j'ai pleuré
    J'ai pleuré, oui j'ai pleuré
    Qui pourra m'expliquer que ...

    Moi je pense à l'enfant
    Entouré de soldats
    Moi je pense à l'enfant
    Qui demande pourquoi
    Tout le temps, oui tout le temps
    Tout le temps, oui tout le temps
    Moi je pense à tout ça
    Mais je ne devrais pas
    Toutes ces choses-là
    Ne me regardent pas
    Et pourtant, oui et pourtant
    Et pourtant, je chante, je chante ...

    Forward Joe Soap's Army




    Forward Joe Soap's army, marching without fear
    With our old commander, safely in the rear
    He boasts and skites from morn till night
    And thinks he's very brave
    But the men who really did the job are dead and in their grave
    Forward Joe Soap's army, marching without fear
    With our old commander, safely in the rear
    Amen

    C'est À Mayerling Composer(s): Francis Lai - Jacques Plante Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu



    Tu jubiles sous le déluge
    Je me noie sous deux gouttes d'eau
    Tu dis que Venise est à Bruges
    Je dis que Londres est à Bordeaux

    Sur l'art de refaire le monde
    Le désaccord est immédiat
    Notre mésentente est profonde
    L'un est à hue et l'autre est à dia

    Nos divergences sont si pures
    Et nos conflits si généreux
    Vivons ensemble et je te jure
    Que nous serons très malheureux

    Toujours pressé, tu fais la course
    Sans crier gare, montre en main
    Je m'attarde sur la Grande Ourse
    Je musarde sur le chemin

    En bonne mésintelligence
    Nous marchons à pas inégaux
    Désunis jusque dans la danse
    Tu es valse et je suis tango

    Nos divergences sont si pures
    Et nos conflits si généreux
    Vivons ensemble et je te jure
    Que nous serons très malheureux

    Pour éviter toute harmonie
    Soignons notre jardin secret
    Semons un peu de zizanie
    Voici quelques graines d'ivraie

    Croquons la pomme de discorde
    Cherchons quatorze heures à midi
    Sur la place de la Concorde
    Empruntons les sens interdits

    Nos divergences sont si pures
    Et nos conflits si généreux
    Vivons ensemble et je te jure
    Que nous serons très malheureux

    Quand tu auras cessé de feindre
    De ne pas avoir lu ces lignes
    Je t'en supplie, viens me rejoindre
    C'est trop gai sans toi Mayerling

    Guitar Man
    Composer(s): David Gates
    First release by: Bread - 1972
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Who draws the crowd and plays so loud
    Baby it's the guitar man
    Who's gonna steal the show, you know
    Baby it's the guitar man

    He can make you love, he can make you cry
    He will bring you down, then he'll get you high
    Somethin' keeps him goin', miles and miles a day
    To find another place to play

    Night after night who treats you right
    Baby it's the guitar man
    Who's on the radio, you go listen
    To the guitar man

    Then he comes to town, and you see his face
    And you think you might like to take his place
    Somethin' keeps him driftin' miles and miles away
    Searchin' for the songs to play

    Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along
    You want to get the meaning out of each and ev'ry song
    Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
    And take them home

    He can make you love, he can get you high
    He will bring you down, then he'll make you cry
    Somethin' keeps him movin', but no one seems to know
    What it is that makes him go

    Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
    The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
    But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
    Another place to play
    Anyway got to play, anyway
    Got to play

    C'est à l'aube
    C'est à l'aube
    Qu'on achève les blessés
    Qu'on réveille les condamnés
    Qui ne reviendront jamais
    C'est à l'aube
    C'est à l'aube
    À l'heure triste où le jour point
    Qu'on regarde son destin
    Dans les yeux
    À la croisée des chemins
    Les hommes crispent leurs poings
    Pour l'adieu
    C'est à l'aube
    C'est à l'aube
    De demain

    C'est à l'aube
    C'est à l'aube
    Que se meurent les amours
    Que l'on renie les "toujours"
    Quand va se lever le jour

    Vers les mondes de l'espoir
    Mais à l'aube
    Mais à l'aube
    Au matin de nos destins
    S'éveillent des lendemains
    Merveilleux
    Dans la gloire du matin
    J'ai le monde dans ma main
    Ah! mon Dieu
    Car c'est l'aube
    Car c'est l'aube
    C'est demain!

    Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway
    Composer(s): George M. Cohan
    Performer(s): James Cagney; William Bolcom



    The west so they say
    Is the home of the jay
    And Missouri's the state
    That can grind them

    This may all be
    But just take it from me
    You don't have to go out west to find them

    If you want to see the real jay delegation
    The place where the real rubens dwell
    Just hop on a train at the grand central station
    Get off when they shout "new Rochelle!"

    Only forty-five minutes from Broadway
    Think of the changes it brings
    For the short time it takes
    What a diff'rence it makes
    In the ways of the people and things

    Oh! what a fine bunch of rubens
    Oh! what a jay atmosphere
    They have whiskers like hay
    And imagine Broadway
    Only forty-five minutes from here

    When bunco men hear that their game is so near
    They'll be swarming here thicker than bees are
    In barnum's best days
    Why he never saw jays
    That were easier to get to than these are

    You tell them old jokes
    And they laugh till they sicken
    There's giggles and grins here to let
    I told them that one about "why does a chicken?"
    The rubens are all laughing yet!

    Only forty-five minutes from Broadway
    Not a cafe in the town
    Oh! the place is a bird
    No one here ever heard
    Of Delmonico, rector or browne

    With a ten dollar bill you're a spendthrift
    If you open a bottle of beer
    You're a sport
    So they say
    And imagine Broadway
    Only forty-five minutes from here

    Now, when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
    The night is so black that the darkness cooks
    Don't you come creepin' around
    makin' me do things I don't want to
    Can't believe that you need my love so bad
    Come sneakin' around tryin' to drive me mad

    Bustin' in on my dreams
    making me see things I don't wanna see

    'Cause you're da Green Manalishi with the two prong crown
    All my tryin' is up
    all your bringin' is down

    Just taking my love then slippin' away
    Leavin' me here just tryin' to keep from following you

    Composer(s): Françoise Hardy - Roger Samyn
    Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



    Lorsque sa bouche à mon oreille vient murmurer
    mille mots tendr's, mille merveilles, mille secrets
    c'est à l'amour auquel je pense
    et que j'espère et que j'attends

    lorsque ses lèvres sur les miennes vienn'nt se poser
    et qu'il me tient entre ses bras très fort serrée
    c'est à l'amour auquel je pense
    et que j'espère et que j'attends
    l'amour que j'appelle en silence à cet instant

    un jour il vous jure "je t'aime"
    mais déjà le lendemain
    il n'est plus le même
    je ne suis plus rien

    lorsque ses yeux au fond des miens viennent plonger
    et que mes cheveux par sa main sont caressés
    c'est à l'amour auquel je pense
    et que j'espère et que j'attends
    l'amour que j'appelle en silence à cet instant

    un jour il vous jure "je t'aime"
    mais déjà le lendemain
    il n'est plus le même
    je ne suis plus rien

    et lorsque pour une autre fille un beau matin
    il m'a quitté, laissée seule avec mon chagrin
    c'est à l'amour auquel je songe
    je me demande a ce moment
    s'il n'existe que dans les songes
    ou bien vraiment

    Forty Years On
    Composer(s): John Farmer
    Performer(s): Reggie Goff



    Forty years on, when afar and asunder
    Parted are those who are singing today
    When you look back, and forgetfully wonder
    What you were like in your work and your play
    Then, it may be, there will often come o'er you
    Glimpses of notes like the catch of a song
    Visions of boyhood shall float them before you
    Echoes of dreamland shall bear them along

    Chorus
    Follow up! Follow up! Follow up! Follow up! Follow up!
    Till the field ring again and again
    With the tramp of the twenty-two men
    Follow up! Follow up!

    Routs and discomfitures, rushes and rallies
    Bases attempted, and rescued, and won
    Strife without anger, and art without malice
    How will it seem to you, forty years on?
    Then, you will say, not a feverish minute
    Strained the weak heart and the wavering knee
    Never the battle raged hottest, but in it
    Neither the last nor the faintest, were we!

    Chorus

    O the great days, in the distance enchanted
    Days of fresh air, in the rain and the sun
    How we rejoiced as we struggled and panted
    Hardly believable, forty years on!
    How we discoursed of them, one with another
    Auguring triumph, or balancing fate
    Loved the ally with the heart of a brother
    Hated the foe with a playing at hate!

    Chorus

    Forty years on, growing older and older
    Shorter in wind, as in memory long
    Feeble of foot, and rheumatic of shoulder
    What will it help you that once you were strong?
    God give us bases to guard or beleaguer
    Games to play out, whether earnest or fun
    Fights for the fearless, and goals for the eager
    Twenty, and thirty, and forty years on!

    Chorus

    Blazoned in honour! For each generation
    You kindled courage to stand and to stay
    You led our fathers to fight for the nation
    Called "Follow up" and yourself showed the way
    We who were born in the calm after thunder
    Cherish our freedom to think and to do
    If in our turn we forgetfully wonder
    Yet we'll remember we owe it to you

    The Green Grass Grew All Around
    Composer(s): William Jerome - Harry Von Tilzer



    Little Johnnie Green, Little Sallie Brown spooning in the park with the grass all around
    Underneath a tree, they were making love, gazing at the silver stars above
    John said "Sallie our love will grow, I've got money said Sal, you know
    And if you will share my lot I'll give you all I've got"

    Head upon his breast Little Sallie Brown Cooche
    Cooche Coo with the grass all around, now and then a kiss, then a loving sigh, what would popsey do if ma should die
    John said Sallie when we are wed, I'll bring breakfast to you in bed
    Come on dear just one more squeeze
    Give me your bank book please

    After they were wed, I can cook she said Fried a piece of steak with the grass all around
    Made some biscuits too, which poor Johnnie ate
    Doctor, came, but then it was too late
    John delirious starts to rave, three days after he's in his grave
    All his happy days are gone, home cooking killed poor John!

    And the green grass grew all around, all around, all around
    And each little bird in the tree top high said "Oh you Kid" and winked his eye
    And the green grass grew all around, all around, on the ground
    With all your gold my turtle dove, said he "How can you doubt my love?"
    And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around

    And the green grass grew all around, all around, all around
    And each little bird in the tree top high sang "Oh you Kid"
    "You're some wise guy!" and the green grass grew all around, all around, on the ground
    John fancied he heard some one say, there's always one born every day
    And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around

    And the green grass grew all around, all around, all around
    And each little bird in the tree top high sand "Oh you John"
    Goodbye, goodbye!
    And the green grass grew all around, all around, on the ground
    The biscuits he could not digest, were laid away with John to rest
    And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around

    C'est À Hambourg Composer(s): Claude Delécluse - Marguerite Monnot First release by: Edith Piaf - 1955



    C'est à Hambourg, à Santiago
    A White Chapel, ou Bornéo
    C'est à Hambourg, à Santiago
    A Rotterdam, ou à Frisco...
    Hello boy! You come with me?
    Amigo! Te quiero mucho!
    Liebling! Kom dort mit mir!
    C'est à Hambourg, au ciel de pluie
    Quand les nuages vont à pas lents
    Comme s'en vont les lourds chalands
    Le long des quais, crevant d'ennui
    C'est à Hambourg ou bien ailleurs
    Qu'à tous les gars en mal d'amour
    Qu'à tous les gars, depuis toujours
    Moi j'balance du rêve en plein coeur...
    C'est à Hambourg, à Santiago
    A White Chapel, ou Bornéo
    C'est à Hambourg, à Santiago
    A Rotterdam, ou à Frisco...
    C'est à Hambourg, au ciel de pluie
    Qu'il a posé ses mains sur moi
    Et qu'il m'a fait crier de joie
    En me serrant fort contre lui
    M'a dit "je t'aime!" à plus finir
    "Laisse donc là tous tes marins!
    Laisse donc la mer, et puis viens!
    Moi, j'ai du bonheur à t'offrir..."
    "Ma p'tite gueule..."
    C'est à Hambourg, au ciel de pluie
    Dans les bastringues à matelots
    Que je trimballe encore ma peau
    Les bras ouverts à l'infini...
    Car moi je suis comme la mer
    J'ai l' coeur trop grand pour un seul gars
    J'ai l' coeur trop grand et c'est pour ça
    Qu' j'ai pris l'amour sur toute la terre...
    C'est à Hambourg, à Santiago
    A White Chapel, ou Bornéo...
    So long, boy...
    Adios, amigo...
    Nacher, Schatz...
    ...Au r'voir, p'tite gueule!...

    Forty Shades Of Green
    Composer(s): Johnny Cash
    Performer(s): Johnny Cash;
    and various other artists



    I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea
    from the fishin boats at Dingle to the shores at Donaghdee
    I miss the River Shannon and the folks at Skibereen
    the moorlands and meadows and their Forty Shades of Green

    Chorus:
    But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town
    and most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown
    again I want to see and do the things we’ve done and seen
    where the breeze is sweet as shalimar and there’s Forty Shades of Green

    I wish I could spend an hour at Dublin’s churning surf
    I'd love to watch the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf
    to see again the thatching of the straw the women glean
    I’d walk from Cork to Larne to see the Forty Shades of Green

    Midnight
    One more night without sleepin'
    Uuh, Watchin'
    Till that mornin' comes creepin'
    Green door
    What's that secret you're keepin'?

    There's an old piano and they play it hot
    Behind the Green Door (Green Door)
    Don't know what they're doin' but they laugh a lot
    Behind the gren door! (Green Door)
    Wish they'd let me in so I could find out
    What's behind the Green Door! (Green Door)

    Knocked once
    Tried to tell them I'd been there
    Door slammed!
    Hospitality's thin there
    Wonder
    Just what's going on in there

    Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smoky cloud
    Behind the green door (Green Door)
    When I said 'Joe sent me' someone laughed out loud
    Behind the green door (Uuh Green Door)
    All I want to do is join the happy crowd
    Behind the green door! (Green Door)

    Midnight
    One more night without sleepin'
    Watchin'
    Till that mornin' comes creepin'
    Green door
    What's that secret you're keepin'?

    There's an old piano and they play it hot
    Behind the Green Door (Green Door)
    Don't know what they're doin' but they laugh a lot

    Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smoky cloud
    Behind the green door (Green Door)
    When I said 'Joe sent me' someone laughed out loud
    Behind the green door (ha, ha ha, oh)
    All I want to do is join the happy crowd
    Behind the green door! (Green Door)

    Wish they'd let me in so I could find out
    What's behind the Green Door! (Green Door)

    Those Little Things
    ((Adapted from: Ces Petits Riens (Serge Gainsbourg) - 1964))
    ((Italian Version: Quei Piccoli Niente (Giangilberto Monti) - 2006))
    Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg - Boris Bergman - Paul Ives
    Performer(s): Carla Bruni - 2006



    No, nothing but my best, not good enough for you
    'Cause nothing much is still too much to feel
    Remember to forget, pretend you never knew
    To beat the best and you don't leave a clue

    No, nothing but the best was not enought for you
    You wouldn't buy my pretty lie was true
    But actting at the curtain fool is nothing new
    Those little things that never leave a clue

    If nothing but the best means nothing much to you
    Don't count on me, just count me out, please, do
    I'll never be your second best as others number two
    One litlle thing that just won't let you choose

    No, nothing but the best anda nothing less will do
    It's more or less that loneliness I knew
    But you, you had me market initials black and blue
    Those little things that never laid a clue

    If nothing but the best means nothing much
    Don't count on me, just count me out, please, do
    I'll never be your second best as others number two
    One litlle thing that just won't let you choose
    One litlle thing that just won't let you choose
    One litlle thing that just won't let you choose
