Man From Manhattan
Composer(s): Eddie Howell
First release by: Eddie Howell - 1976



Hey little lady do you love me 
As much as you tell me you do 
Oh I'm not them man you think I am 
The game I've been playing is through 

Hey little girl do you trust me 
Oh I'm gonna tell you no lies 
I'm gonna come clean, don't make a scene
I've been hiding behind a disguise 

Oh I'm the man from Manhattan, ole 
The man with a price on his head (lots of money) 
The man from Manhattan, the surface is satin 
But the lining is laden with lead 

Oh I've been a fugitive too long 
Running away with my fame 
My enemies flee at the sight of me 
They shake at the sound of my name 

Cause I'm the man from Mahnattan, ole 
The man with a price on his head (go and get the deputy)
The man from Manhattan, the surface is satin
But the lining is laden with lead

Don't be afraid, it's only a dream (I'm only dreaming) 
An imaginary hero, a vision
I've seen (ah ah ah ah ah) Cuckoo 

Oh I know my true destination 
The day will eventaully come 
I tell you my friend I know my end (will be) 
When I'm standing alone in the sight of a gun 

Oh I'm the man from Manhattan, ole 
The man with a price on his head (lots of money) 
The man from Manhattan, the surface is satin 
But the lining is laden with lead 

Chi Non Lavora Non Fa L'amore
Composer(s): Adriano Celentano - Mike DelPrete
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano



"Chi non lavora non fa l'amore!"
Questo mi ha detto ieri mia moglie! 
Questo mi ha detto ieri mia moglie!
A casa stanco ieri ritornai
mi son seduto...niente c'era in tavola
arrabbiata lei mi grida che ho scioperato due giorni su tre...
Coi soldi che le dò non ce la fa più
ed ha deciso che, lei fa lo sciopero contro di me!
"Chi non lavora non fa l'amore!"
Questo mi ha detto ieri mia moglie!
Allora andai a lavorare
mentre eran tutti a scioperare!
E un grosso pugno in faccia mi arrivò
andai a piedi alla guardia medica!
C'era lo sciopero anche dei tranvai...
Arrivo lì, ma il dottore non c'è!
E' in sciopero anche lui! 
Che gioco è! 
Ma?!
Ma come finirà...c'è il caos nella città
Non so più cosa far! Se non sciopero mi picchiano
Se sciopero mia moglie dice
"Chi non lavora non fa l'amore!"
Dammi l'aumento signor padrone
così vedrai che in casa tua
e in ogni casa entra l'amore

Razzle In My Pocket
Composer(s): Ian Dury; Chas Jankel
Performer(s): Ian Dury & The Blockheads



In my yellow jersey, I went out on the nick
South Street Romford, shopping arcade
Got a Razzle magazine, I never paid
Inside my jacket and away double quick
Good sense told me, once was enough
But I had a cocky eye on more of this stuff
With the Razzle in my pocket, back to have another peek

Instead of being sneeky I strolled inside
I put my thieving hand on something rude
I walked right out with a silhouette of nudes
'Hold on sonny' said a voice at my side
'I think you've taken one of my books'
Passers by gave me dirty looks
'Not me mister' I bravely lied

We stopped by the window of a jeweller's shop
'If it's money for your lunch, I'd have given you a loan
Have you got any form, were you on your own?
Round to the station and we'll tell the cops'
'I'm ever so ashamed, it was wicked and rash
Here's the book back, and here's the cash
I never stole before, I promise I'll stop'

'Crime doesn't pay, you've got honest eyes
If we go to the law another thief is born
And I'll get the book back, creased and torn
So return what you've taken and apologise'
I gave him back his nudie book
I said I was sorry, I slung my hook
With the Razzle in my pocket as the second prize

The Man From Laramie
Composer(s): Lester Lee - Ned Washington
Performer(s): Jimmy Young
and multiple other artists



The man from Laramie
He was a man with a peaceful turn of mind
He was kind of sociable and friendly
Friendly as any man could be
But you never saw a man out-draw
The man from Laramie

The man from Laramie
He was a man with a warm and gentle heart
But when they'd start the arguing and fightin'
Frightenin' and lightning fast was he
There was no coyote who could outshoot
The man from Laramie

He had a flair for ladies
The ladies loved his air of mystery

The west will never see
A man with so many notches on his gun
Everyone admired the fearless stranger
Danger was this man's speciality
So they never bossed or double crossed
The man from Laramie

He had a flair for ladies
Now the ladies loved his air of mystery

The west will never see
A man with so many notches on his gun
Everyone admired the fearless stranger
Danger was this man's speciality
So they never bossed or double crossed
The man from Laramie

Chez Moi

Performer(s): Lucienne Boyer
and multiple other artists



Tout en haut de la ville
Depuis trois ans déjà je vis
Il n'est pas grand mon domicile
Mais de ma fenêtre on voit Paris
Et le soir lorsque tout s'éclaire
On n'a pas besoin de bougies
Il fait comme ça bien assez clair
Et ça fait des économies...

Venez donc chez moi je vous invite
Y a d'la joie chez moi c'est merveilleux
À côté des étoiles j'habite à deux pas du ciel toujours bleu
J'attendrai chez moi votre visite
Là haut sous les toits dans mon logis
Tous les jours je reçois venez, venez vite
C'est gentil chez moi, venez-y...

Ce serait préférable
Si en hiver c'était chauffé
Et vraiment bien plus agréable
Si c'était plus frais en été...
Pour entrer faut baisser la tête
Il faut s'asseoir à l'intérieur
Mais on peut s'y conter fleurette
Et ça suffit à mon bonheur...

Venez donc chez moi je vous invite
Y a d'la joie chez moi c'est merveilleux
Il ne faut surtout pas qu'on hésite
L'escalier n'est pas dangereux
Le tapis est beau jusqu'au deuxième
Si on monte plus haut plus de tapis
Mais allez tout droit montez au sixième
C'est gentil chez moi, montez-y...

Il faut que je ramène
Un jour bientôt l'amour chez moi
Car j'ai là-haut bien trop de peine
À vivre tout seul sous mon toit
Je lui dirai "viens voir la vue
De ma fenêtre elle est bien mieux"
Quand il (elle) aura bien vu la rue
Je lui ferai fermer les yeux...

C'est gentil chez moi je vous invite
Vous serez pour moi le seul ami
Nous n'aurons plus jamais de visite
À la porte tous les ennuis
Nous serons heureux dans mon sixième
Il y a place pour deux dans mon logis
On comptera les fois où nous dirons "je t'aime"
Es-tu bien chez moi! Restons-y ...

A three ring circus. These trial - the whole world - all show
business. But kid, you're working with a star, the biggest!

Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bread and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?

What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting ?

Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll never catch wise!
Eh Eh Eh Eh
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle

Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous

Billy:
Row after row will grow vociferous

Billy and Company:
Give 'em the old flim flam flummox
Fool and fracture 'em

Billy:
How can they hear the truth above the roar?

Billy and Company:
Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel,

Billy:
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll beg you for more!

Billy and Company:
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance
Though you are stiffer than a girder
They let ya get away with a murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance

Give 'em the old
Razzle dazzle

Billy:
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act that's unassailable
They'll wait a year 'til your available!

Billy and Company:
Give 'em the old
Double whammy

Daze and dizzy 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorcerer you are

Billy and Company:
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you got no talents?

Billy:
Razzle dazzle 'em

Company:
Razzle dazzle 'em

Billy:
Razzle dazzle 'em

Billy and Company:
And they'll make you a star!

The Man Comes Around
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
First release by: Johnny Cash - 2002
Covered by multiple other artists



There's a man going around taking names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Everybody won't be treated all the same
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down
When the Man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup?
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When the Man comes around

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling, voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom
Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise man will bow down before the thrown
And at His feet they'll cast their golden crowns
When the Man comes around

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long written down
When the Man comes around

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

In measured hundred weight and penny pound
When the Man comes around

Chez moi oh oh oh
Chez moi
Y avait le ciel bleu sur la mer
Le pain blanc comme le sable
Et le soleil rouge du désert
Oh oh oh le jasmin
Dans les branches
Ami de mes jeunes désirs
Mais je ne crois plus au retour
Car chez moi n'est qu'un souvenir

Y avait là l'odeur de la terre
Le vent chaud de notre plage
Ou tes lèvres avaient un goût amer

Je voudrais m'en aller
Loin des villes
Chez moi je voudrais revenir
Mais je ne crois plus au retour
Car je le sais
Qu'à tout jamais
Chez moi
N'est plus qu'un souvenir

The Mama Doll Song
Composer(s): Nat Simon - Charles Tobias
Performer(s): Patti Page



I once had a doll
That was all dressed in white
I called her my baby
And I'd hold her tight

Her eyes were so blue
And her cheeks were so red
But I loved her most of all
Each time she said...

Mama, mama, mama, mama
One little word she knew
Mama, mama, mama, mama
To me it meant, I love you

My dolly was waiting
When I'd want to play
And I always knew
What she wanted each day

I'd wash her and feed her
And put her to bed
But I'd never leave her
Until she said...

Mama, mama, mama, mama
One little word she knew
Mama, mama, mama, mama
To me it meant, I love you

Then came the time
I remember the day
I wrapped her in paper
And put her away

Now I've got a secret
Sometimes when I'm blue
I still get a thrill again
Listening to...

Mama, mama, mama, mama
One little word she knew
Mama, mama, mama, mama
To me it meant, I love you

Chez Max Coiffeur Pour Hommes
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Chez Max coiffeur pour hommes
Où un jour j'entrais comme
Par hasard me faire raser la couenne
Et rafraîchir les douilles
Je tombe sur cette chienne
Shampouineuse
Qui aussitôt m'aveugle par sa beauté païenne
Et ses mains savonneuses
Elle se penche et voilà ses doudounes
Comme deux rahat-loukoums
À la rose qui rebondissent sur ma nuque boum boum
Je pense à la fille du Calife
De la mille et deuxième nuit
Et sens la pointe d'un canif
Me percer le cœur je luis dis
"Petite je te sors ce soir ok"
Elle a d'abord un petit rire comme un hoquet
Puis sous le sirocco du séchoir
Dans mes cheveux
La petite garce laisse choir
"Je veux"

Razor Boy
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Billy Goodrum



I hear you are singing a song of the past
I see no tears
I know that you know it may be the last
For many years
You'd gamble or give anything
To be in with the better half
But how many friends must I have
To begin with to make you laugh

Chorus:
Will you still have a song to sing
When the razor boy comes
And take your fancy things away
Will you still be singing it
On that cold and windy day

You know that the coming is so close at hand
You feel all right
I guess only women in cages can stand
This kind of night
I guess only women in cages
Can play down
The things they lose
You think no tomorrow will come
When you lay down
You can't refuse

The Maker Said Take Her
Composer(s): Mark Wright - Ron Rogers
Performer(s): Alabama



I was taught to believe
Never to doubt 
The man up above knew what he’s
Talking about
So when I heard that voice
So loud and clear
Speak to my heart 
I knew that she must be near
The maker said take her and love her forever
Take care of her for life
And treat her right
I never was the one 
To listen very well
I walk my own way
And felt what I felt
The further out of touch
With the master plan
Well she was like a flight to the promised land
The maker said take her and love her forever
Take care of her for life
Never forsake her don’t be a heart breaker
The maker said take her 
And treat her right
Just treat her right
He placed an angle in the palm of my hand
And for once in my life I obeied his commands
I’ll take her and love her forever
Take care of her for life
Never forsake her don’t be a heart breaker
The maker said take her 
And treat her right
Just treat her right
Just treat her right
Take care of her for life
Never forsake her don’t be no heart breaker
The maker said take her 
And treat her right
Just treat her right
For Life

J'irai dans la ville basse
Chez Madame Lolita
J'offrirai le champagne
À ses filles sans joie
On se fera la fête
Jusqu'au petit matin
J'irai dans la ville basse
Chez Madame Lolita

J'irai dans la ville gaie
J'irai chez Casino
Je prendrai mes souvenirs
Mon avenir et ma peau
Et je jouerai coup sec
Le tout sur le zéro
J'irai dans la ville basse
Chez Madame Lolita

Quand je serai trop vieux
Pour dire je t'aime et le faire
Quand je serai trop vieux
Pour espérer vivre vieux
Avant de quitter ici-bas
Avant de grimper au bon Dieu
Je ferai une de ces noubas
Chez Madame Lolita

J'irai dans la ville triste
Rue de la SPA
Je chercherai un chien
Un plus perdu que moi
Si je n'en trouve pas
J'irai voir côté chat
J'irai dans la ville triste
Rue de la SPA

Quand je serai trop vieux
Pour dire je t'aime et le faire
Quand je serai trop vieux
Pour espérer vivre vieux
Avant de quitter ici-bas
Avant de grimper au bon Dieu
Je ferai une de ces noubas
Chez Madame Lolita

Quand je serai trop vieux
Pour dire je t'aime et le faire
Quand je serai trop vieux
Pour espérer vivre vieux

E' inutile tentare di dimenticare
per molto tempo ancora nella vita
dovrai cercare
dettagli cosi' piccoli che tu
non sei ancora pronto per capire
ma che comnunque contano per dire
chi siamo noi
se vedi un'altra donna camminare
nella tua via
e ti ricordi quando c'ero io
la colpa e'tutta sua
il ritmo bilanciato del suo passo
sono ritagli di dettagli
se no perche'
ti stai immediatamente ricordando
proprio di me
io so che un'altra donna
sta inventando una frase fatta
di parole come quelle che ho gia' detto
mi sembra matta
non credo che ti voglia
cosi'tanto bene
errori di grammatica
lei non ne fa
e senza errori non si ha mai felicita'
e se farai l'amore con qualcuno
fallo tacendo
perche' se dici a un'altra
il nome mio
ti stai sbagliando
non tutti hanno piacere di sentire
parlare di qualcuno che non c'e'
sono dettagli che fanno capire
che pensi a me
non dirmi che nel cuore non ti resta
piu' quasi niente
a furia di dettagli stai cambiando
e gia' si sente
la piccola scintilla
fa il grande incendio

Raven In The Snow
Composer(s): Bill Miller; John Flanagan
Performer(s): Bill Miller




With the wings of sorrow, I have taken flight
Cloaked in the darkness like a thief in the night
I have watched the farmer planting in his field
And known that what he sows, is there for me to steal

I take what I need, never more, never more
In the art of survival, there's no rich there's no poor
Time passes by, kingdoms come and go
I've seen it all, I'm a raven in the snow

I have watched the seekers searching for their gold
The rape of the land, generations unfold
Nations of the world, their rise and their fall
I've watched it all, I'm a raven in the snow

I have heard the crying, wailing in the wind
Empty words and broken promises, time and time again
Song of the sparrow, call of the crow
Echo in the mountain and the valley's below

The scarecrow and the hunter, can't keep me away
The winter winds a blowin' couldn't lead me astray
You can separate the flock still my colors would show
I will stand out, like a raven in the snow

The Maker
Composer(s): Daniel Lanois
First release by: Daniel Lanois - 1989



Oh, Oh deep water
Black, and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted mile
I'm a stranger
in the eyes of the maker

I could not see
for fog in my eyes
I could not feel
for the fear in my life
From across the great divide
In the distance I saw a light
Jean Baptiste
walking to me with the maker

My body is bent and broken
by long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of Abraham
and turn my head away
I'm not a stranger
in the hands of the maker

Brother John
Have you seen the homeless daughters
standing there
with broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
there over east of Eden
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker

Oh river rise from your sleep...

À sa façon de nous app'ler ses gosses
On voyait bien qu'ell' nous aimait beaucoup
C'était chez ell' que notre argent de poche
Disparaissait dans les machines à sous

Après les cours on allait boire un verre
Quand on entrait Laurette souriait
Et d'un seul coup nos leçons nos problèmes
Disparaissaient quand ell' nous embrassait

C'était bien, chez Laurette
Quand on faisait la fête
Elle venait vers nous.. Lau - rette

C'é tait bien, c'était chouette
Quand on était fauché
Elle payait pour nous.. Lau - rette

Et plus encore afin qu'on soit tranquille
Dans son café y avait un coin pour nous
On s'y mettait pour voir passer les filles
Et j'en connais qui nous plaisaient beaucoup

Si par hasard on avait l'âme en peine
Laurette seule savait nous consoler
Ell' nous parlait et l'on riait quand même
En un clin d'œil ell' pouvait tout changer

C'était bien chez Laurette
On y retournera
Pour ne pas l'oublier Iaurette

Ce s'ra bien ce s'ra chouette
Et l'on reparlera,
Des histoir's du passé
Chez Laurette

Ce s'ra bien ce s'ra chouette
