Change Of Habit
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - Bernie Weisman
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1969/1970
If you're in old habits Set in your old ways Changes are a-comin' For these are changing days And if your head is in the sand While things are goin' on What you need, what you need, What you need is a change of habit
Now if you're in the habit To let your temper fly When you talk with people Who don't see eye to eye And if you don't believe it There's a newer world ahead What you need, what you need, What you need is a change of habit
A change of habit, a change of outlook A change of heart, you'll be all right The halls of darkness Have doors that open It's never too late To see the light
So if you're in the habit Of putting people down Just because they're different From the wrong side of town Well, don't count on any medals son They're pinning none on you What you need, what you need, What you need is a change of habit
From A Distance Composer(s): Julie Gold Performer(s): Bette Midler
From a distance, the world looks blue and green And the snow-capped mountains white From a distance, the ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight From a distance, there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the voice of hope It's the voice of peace It's the voice of every man
From a distance, we all have enough
And no one is in need There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases No hungry mouths to feed From a distance, we are instruments Marching in a common band Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace They're the songs of every man From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we are at war From a distance I just cannot comprehend What all this fighting is for From a distance there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves It's the heart of every man
The Knife Feels Like Justice Composer(s): Brian Setzer Performer(s): Brian Setzer
So you think that you have found A better life that you should live And you're through givin' it all away I wish there's something I could say Like the time you looked into the mirror And saw someone else lookin' back I wish I could find the words But there's nothing that even comes close
'Cause there ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right through me There ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right by me And you can't go when the knife feels like justice
When the sun dies down, the air grows cold And the moon plays tricks in the night Crawlin' low like a snake out of sight Your guide is the northern light You wanna laugh say I'm insane Don't have the sense to come in from the rain I know how to keep myself between the drops
There ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right through me There ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right by me And you can't go when the knife feels like justice slip away slip away slip away slip away
So you think that you have won me over By settin' me on fire With the sound of your beating heart And you're burnin' hot desire Like the time I looked at your reflections And saw someone else lookin' back It's a shame things happen that way 'Cause there's no one that even comes close
And there ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right through me There ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right by me And you can't go when the knife feels like justice I said you can't go on when the blade tears inside you You can't go on when the knife feels like justice
Change In The Weather
Composer(s): John Fogerty
First release by: John Fogerty - 1986
Aaah!
Change in the weather, change in the weather Somethin's happenin' here Change in the weather, change in the weather People walkin' round in fear
Uh huh, you better duck and run Get under cover 'cause the change has come Storm warning, and it looks like rain Be nothin' left after the hurricance This here's a jungle, ain't no lie Look at the people, terror in their eyes Bad business comin', can't be denied They're running with the dogs, afraid to die
Change in the weather, change in the weather Somethin's happenin' here Change in the weather, change in the weather People walkin' round in fear
Uh huh, you best believe it's true The levee's busted, badness comin' through Oh no, there ain't no place to hide Reach out and pluck you, take you for a ride Sea of frustration, take everything in sight Won't be no blessing if we make it through the night Down on your knees, go ahead and pray But every demon has to have his day
Change in the weather, change in the weather Somethin's happenin' here Change in the weather, change in the weather People walkin' round in fear
Well! Oh, God!
High noon, I can't believe my eyes Wind is ragin', there's a fire in the sky Ground shakin', everything comin' loose Run like a coward but it ain't no use Edge of the river, it's an ugly scene People gettin' pushed, people gettin' mean The change is comin' and it's gettin' late Ain't no survivin', and there ain't no escape
Change in the weather, change in the weather Somethin's happenin' here Change in the weather, change in the weather People walkin' round in fear
Oh!
Change in the weather, change in the weather Somethin's happenin' here Change in the weather, change in the weather People walkin' round in fear

Change De Docteur Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Toi tu essaies comme les autres fous D'arrêter le temps, de le briser d'un seul coup Et tu plantes tes ongles aux pierres de sa vie Il t'emporte avec lui Au moment où tu penses être enfin le plus fort C'est trop tard, tu dors Alors tu rêves d'être le prêtre hindou Qui encense le soir le ciel de Diên Biên Phu Mais sa voix est trop grave Mais tu as peur des croix Qui terminent ses bras Viens, change de docteur Viens, j'en connais un meilleur Il arrache sa vie et te soigne avec ça Change de docteur Viens, j'en connais un meilleur Il déchire la nuit qui coule au fond de toi Qui coule au fond de toi Alors tu prends des grains de sucre roux Et tu deviens la star des flashs, des interviews Mais tes mots sont trop hauts Et les mecs des journaux Ne les comprennent pas Leurs crayons sont trop fins Leur soleil est trop bas Et tout se brise et tu tombes aux genoux D'une horde de rats Les princes des égouts C'est leur chef qui le dit Je peux sauver ta vie Si tu couches avec moi Viens, change de docteur Viens, j'en connais un meilleur Il arrache sa vie et te soigne avec ça Change de docteur Viens, j'en connais un meilleur Il déchire la nuit qui coule au fond de toi Qui coule au fond de toi Disons qu'un jour il n'y ait plus de tabous Qu'il n'y ait plus d'interdits Ni de prêtres jaloux Juste un grain dans la foule Une pierre qui roule Et tout le monde s'en fout Viens, change de docteur Viens, j'en connais un meilleur Il arrache sa vie et te soigne avec ça Change de docteur Viens, j'en connais un meilleur Il déchire la nuit qui coule au fond de toi Qui coule au fond de toi Viens, change de docteur Viens, j'en connais un meilleur Il déchire la nuit qui coule au fond de toi Qui coule au fond de toi
Fritt Fram Composer(s): Ola Magnell; Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Lill Lindfors
Du får höra lätta steg i din sovalkov Och du säjer "förlåt, men se jag låg och sov" Fritt fram, det kommer en gäst När jag sover så gott och när jag drömmer som bäst Fritt fram, det kommer en gäst När jag sover så gott och när jag drömmer som bäst
Du försöker vara vänlig, tuff ändå Men han gör ingen min av att vilja gå Fritt fram, jag släcker mitt ljus Och då smyger du bakvägen in i mitt hus Fritt fram, jag släcker mitt ljus Och då smyger du bakvägen in i mitt hus
Du har sett så många misstag och svikna hopp Och hur svårt det kan vara att säja stopp Fritt fram, det kommer en gäst När jag sover så gott och när jag drömmer som bäst Fritt fram, det kommer en gäst När jag sover så gott och när jag drömmer som bäst
Valentino går iväg innan natten flyr Till en vänare nymf och nya äventyr Fritt fram, jag släcker mitt ljus Och då smyger du bakvägen in i mitt hus Fritt fram, jag släcker mitt ljus Och då smyger du bakvägen in i mitt hus
Fy skam, ibland är det synd När det verkar okej och när det spricker igen Fy skam, ibland är det synd När det verkar okej och när det spricker igen
The King's New Clothes Composer(s): Frank Loesser Performer(s): Danny Kaye and multiple other artists
This is the story of the King's new clothes Now there was once a king who was absolutely insane about new clothes and one day, two swindlers came to sell him what they said was a magic suit of clothes Now, they held up this particular garment and they said, "Your Majesty, this is a magic suit" Well, the truth of the matter is, there was no suit there at all But the swindlers were very smart, and they said "Your Majesty, to a wise man this is a beautiful raiment but to a fool it is absolutely invisible" Naturally, the King not wanting to appear a fool, said
"Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the line! The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether it's altogether The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen These eyes of mine at once determined The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green Somebody send for the Queen"
Well they sent for the Queen and they quickly explained to her about the magic suit of clothes. And naturally, the Queen not wanting to appear a fool, said
"Well, isn't it oh! Isn't it rich! Look at the charm of every stitch! The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether it's altogether The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen These eyes of mine at once determined The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green Summon the court to convene"
Well the court convened, and you never saw in your life as many people as were at that court All the ambassadors, the dukes, the earls, the counts, it was just packed with people and they were all told about the magic suit of clothes And after they were told they naturally didn't want to appear fools and they said
"Isn't it ohhh! Isn't it ahhh! Isn't it absolutely wheee! The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether, it's altogether The most remarkable suit of clothes a tailor ever made Now quickly, put it altogether With gloves of leather and hat and feather It's altogether the thing to wear in Saturday's parade Leading the royal brigade"
Now Saturday came and the streets were just lined with thousands and thousands and thousands of people And they all were cheering as the artillery came by, the infantry marched by, the cavalry galloped by And everybody was cheering like mad, except one little boy You see, he hadn't heard about the magic suit and didn't know what he was supposed to see Well, as the King came by the little boy looked and, horrified, said
"Look at the King! Look at the the King! Look at the King, the King, the King! The King is in the altogether, but altogether, the altogether He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born The King is in the altogether, but altogether, the altogether It's altogether the very least the King has ever worn"
Summon the court physician! Call an intermission! His majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn
The King is in the altogether, but all together, the altogether He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born And it's altogether too chilly a morn!

Elle avait elle avait Un Chandernagor de classe Elle avait elle avait Un Chandernagor râblé Pour moi seul pour moi seul Elle découvrait ses cachemires Ses jardins ses beau quartiers Enfin son Chandernagor Pas question Dans ces conditions D'abandonner les Comptoirs de l'Inde
Elle avait elle avait Deux Yanaon de cocagne Elle avait elle avait Deux Yanaon ronds et frais Et moi seul et moi seul M'aventurais dans sa brousse Ses vallées ses vallons Ses collines de Yanaon Pas question Dans ces conditions D'abandonner les Comptoirs de l'Inde
Elle avait elle avait Le Karikal difficile Elle avait elle avait Le Karikal mal luné Mais la nuit j'atteignais Son nirvana à heure fixe Et cela en dépit De son fichu Karikal Pas question Dans ces conditions D'abandonner les Comptoirs de l'Inde
Elle avait elle avait Un petit Mahé fragile Elle avait elle avait Un petit Mahé secret Mais je dus à la mousson Eteindre mes feux de Bengale M'arracher m'arracher Aux délices de Mahé Pas question Dans ces conditions De faire long feu dans les Comptoirs de l'Inde
Elle avait elle avait Le Pondichéry facile Elle avait elle avait Le Pondichéry accueillant Aussitôt aussitôt C'est à un nouveau touriste Qu'elle fit voir son comptoir Sa flore sa géographie Pas question Dans ces conditions De revoir un jour les Comptoirs de l'Inde
Frim Fram Sauce Composer(s): Joe Ricardel; Redd Evans Performer(s): Nat King Cole
I don't want French fried potatoes Red ripe tomatoes I'm never satisfied I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay With chafafah on the side
I don't want pork chops and bacon That won't awaken My appetite inside I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay With chafafah on the side
Now a person's really got to eat And a person should eat right Five will get you ten I'm gonna feed myself right tonight
I don't want fish cakes and rye bread You heard what I said Waiter, please serve mine fried I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay With chafafah on the side
A person's really got to eat And a person should eat right Five will get you ten I'm gonna feed myself right tonight
I don't want fish cakes and rye bread You heard what I said Waiter, please serve mine fried I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay With chafafah on the side
(I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay with cha fafa, cha fafa, cha fafa, on the side P-leazzze!)
Nat's ending (no melody): Now if you don't have it, just bring me a check for the water
Where I'm from there are no mountains And time is standing still Where I'm from there's barely space left Still they're running up a hill Where I'm from they don't like changes Even if alarm bells ring Where I'm from they have a princess Where I'm from they have a king
Where I'm from they don't like dreamers They are told to shut their mouth Where I'm from they're divided Between the North and the South Where I'm from it's like a long night That never turns to day Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling Where I'm from they've lost the way
Sing it loud today Sing it loud today I'm singing it loud today I am the one that got away
Where I'm from they just keep rooted Heads are always hanging low Where I'm from the Congo River Never got nowhere to go Where I'm from words are repeated But they never really rhyme Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling Where I'm from they're losing time
Where I'm from there's a lack of heroes Both in politics and song Where I'm from the more they fix it The faster everything goes wrong Where I'm from I still remember So I will sing it every day That this kingdom is still my kingdom It's encoded in my DNA
Chandelle Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Elle, elle sort tout droit d'une aquarelle Avec ses dentelles d'autrefois Elle est belle comme un chemin de croix Elle, les enfants l'appellent Chandelle Parce qu'elle tremble à chaque pas Mais le prisonnier c'est moi Si elle a peur, si elle a froid, moi aussi L'hiver est fait pour que nos corps se serrent Et se serrent sans bruit Si elle a peur, si elle a froid, moi aussi Je suis le premier qui l'appelle Le premier qui lui ouvre les bras Comme si chez nous elle n'existait pas Et d'elle, je reçois quelques nouvelles Par les oiseaux qu'elle m'envoie Je suis loin, mais ne t'inquiète pas Si elle a peur, si elle a froid, moi aussi L'hiver est fait pour que nos corps se serrent Et se serrent sans bruit Si elle a peur, si elle a froid, moi aussi Mais chacun de ses silences est mortel Chacun de ses mots de porte au ciel Hey, d'aussi loin que tu sois Si tu m'entends, arrête-toi Toi qui cours pour que ton corps soit transparent Toi qui pleures que la vie te prend tout ton temps, Hey, d'aussi loin que tu sois Si tu m'entends, arrête-toi Chandelle, c'est ma chanson pour toi Ma chanson pour toi Chandelle, c'est toujours le soir de Noël Quand elle revient vers chez moi Et même je ne suis pas sûr qu'il ait fait nuit Entre hier et aujourd'hui
Fritiof Och Carmencita Composer(s): Sven-Bertil Taube
Samborombon, en liten by förutan gata den ligger inte långt från Rio de la Plata nästan i kanten av den blåa Atlanten och med Pampas bakom sig många hundra gröna mil dit kom jag ridande en afton i april för jag ville dansa tango
Dragspel, fiol och mandolin hördes från krogen och i salen steg jag in där på bänken i mantilj och med en ros vid sin barm satt den bedårande lilla Carmencita Mamman, värdinnan satt i vrån hon tog mitt ridspö, min pistol och min manton Jag bjöd upp och Carmencita sa 'Si gracias señor Vamos á bailár este tango'
Carmencita lilla vän, håller du utav mig än? Får jag tala med din pappa och din mamma jag vill gifta mig med dig, Carmencita!
Nej, don Fritiof Andersson kom ej till Samborombon om ni hyser andra planer när det gäller mig än att dansa tango
Ack, Carmencita gör mig inte så besviken jag tänker skaffa mig ett jobb här i butiken sköta mig noga, bara spara och knoga inte spela och dricka, men bara älska dig Säg, Carmencita, det är ändå blott med mig säg, som du vill dansa tango
Nej Fritiof, ni förstår musik men jag tror inte ni kan stå i en butik och förresten sa min pappa just idag att han visste vem som snart skulle fria till hans dotter En som har tjugotusen kor och en estancia som är förfärligt stor Han har prisbelönta tjurar han har oxar, kor och svin och han dansar underbar tango
Carmencita, lilla vän, akta dig för rika män! Lyckan den bor ej i oxar eller kor och den kan heller inte köpas för pengar Men min kärlek gör dig rik skaffa mig ett jobb i er butik Och när vi blir gifta söta ungar skall vi få, som kan dansa tango
King Of Hollywood Composer(s): Don Henley - Glenn Frey Performer(s): Eagles
Well, he sits up there on his leatherette Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet When he thinks he wants a closer look he gets out his little black telephone book (He's calling, calling, calling He's calling, calling, calling He's calling ,calling, calling He's calling)
"Come sit down here beside me, honey Let's have a little heart to heart Now look at me and tell me, darlin' how badly do you want this part? Are you willing to sacrifice? And are you willing to be real nice? All your talent and my good taste I'd hate to see it go to waste"
"We gon' get you an apartment, honey We gon' get you a car Yeah, we're gonna take care of you, darlin' We gon' make you a movie star For years I've seen 'em come and go" He says, "I've had 'em all, 'ya know I handled everything in my own way I made 'em what they are today"
After 'while nothin' was pretty After 'while everything got lost Still, his Jacuzzi runneth over Still he just couldn't get off He's just another power junky Just another silk scarf monkey You'd know it if you saw his stuff The man just isn't big enough
Chandelier Of Stars Composer(s): John Williamson Performer(s): John Williamson
When m' travellin' days are done Will you still be with me? When all the songs have been sung Standin' right beside me Watchin' the grandkids grow I've got everything but nothing without you
I've got mountains, I've got rivers I've got a chandelier of stars Got blossoms on the Bloodwoods Friends all 'round the country And a heart as good as new I've got everything but nothing without you
Too much time for thinking It's gonna drive me mad I walk along the river I watch a motel movie But lovers make me sad I've got everything but nothing without you
So when this life that binds me
Turns me loose Lets me rest on m' laurels Will you put y' head on m' shoulder And share the peaceful years I've got everything but nothing without you
