Cross Road Blues (aka Crossroads; Standing At The Crossroads) Composer(s): Robert Johnson First recording/First release by: Robert Johnson - 1936/1937 Covered by multiple other artists
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees Asked the Lord above "Have mercy, now save poor Bob, if you please"
Yeoo, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride Ooo eeee, I tried to flag a ride Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down Standin' at the crossroad, baby, eee, eee, risin' sun goin' down I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, babe, I'm sinkin' down
And I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west I went to the crossroad, baby, I looked east and west Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress
J'avais Rêvé D'une Autre Vie
English Title: I Dreamed A Dream - 1986
Composer(s): Claude-Michel Schonberg; Alain Albert Boublil; Jean-Marc Natel
First release by: Rose Laurens - 1980
J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie Fantine: J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie Mais la vie a tué mes rêves Comme on étouffe les derniers cris D'un animal que l'on achève J'avais rêvé d'un coeur si grand Que le mien puisse y trouver place Mais mon premier prince charmant Fut l'assassin de mon enfance J'ai payé de toute mes larmes La rançon d'un petit bonheur À une société qui désarme La victime, et pas le voleur J'avais rêvé d'un seul amour Durant jusqu'à la fin du monde Dont on ne fait jamais le tour Aussi vrai que la terre est ronde J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie Mais la vie a tué mes rêves À peine commencée, elle finit Comme un court printemps qui s'achève J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie Mais la vie a tué mes rêves À peine commencée, elle finit Comme un court printemps qui s'achève La nuit, la nuit, je sombre en mon corps Et je m'abondonne à des sinistres corps à corps La nuit, la nuit, pour deux pièces d'or Quand ils font jaillir en moi leur pitoyable effort Ils ne savent pas qu'ils font l'amour avec la mort

Doux cri de ma vie, doux cri de mes nuits Doux cri de ma vie, ma voix te supplie
Cri de mon coeur, ne m'entends-tu pas la nuit, le jour? Mon cri du coeur, entends-tu ma voix? Mon cri d'amour Mon cri d'émoi quand tu fais souffrir, mon coeur qui geint Mon cri de joie quand tu me chavires, tout près de toi, je suis bien
Doux cri de ma vie, doux cri de mes nuits Doux cri de ma vie, ma voix te supplie
Mon cri d'espoir, lorsque je te vois, je suis heureuse Mon désespoir lorsque tu t'en vas, mon cri d'adieu Mon cri de foi, si je me trompais, adieu l'amour Adieu la joie car je t'aimerai jusqu'à la fin de mes jours
Doux cri de ma vie, doux cri de mes nuits Doux cri de ma vie, ma voix te supplie Doux cri de ma vie, doux cri de mes nuits Doux cri de ma vie, ma voix te supplie

J'avais rêvé Que les portes du ciel s'ouvraient à nos coeurs J'avais rêvé Qu'il tombaient sous nos pas une pluie de fleurs Et nous marchions tête haute Côté à côté Vers le jour Au devant de l'espérance De la chance Vers l'amour J'avais rêvé Mais un rêve n'est qu'un fantôme sans vie Une fumée Qui s'accrochent et se meurt au bout de la nuit J'avais rêvé Qui me laisse les mains vides car au jour Meurt un rêve d'amour
Pour mordre dans la chair profonde Des joies que peut donner ce monde J'ai pris mes rêves à bras-le-corps Mais comme j'ai serré trop fort Elles sont mortes avant de vivre Quand la nuit a fermé son livre
J'avais rêvé Que les portes du ciel s'ouvraient à nos coeurs J'avais rêvé Qu'il tombaient sous nos pas une pluie de fleurs Et nous marchions tête haute Côté à côté Vers le jour Au devant de l'espérance De la chance Vers l'amour J'avais rêvé Mais un rêve n'est qu'un fantôme sans vie Une fumée Qui s'accrochent et se meurt au bout de la nuit J'avais rêvé Qui me laisse les mains vides car au jour Meurt un rêve d'amour
This Will Be Our Year Composer(s): Chris White First release by: The Zombies - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
The warmth of your love's Like the warmth from the sun And this will be our year Took a long time to come...
Don't let go of my hand Now the darkness has gone This will be our year Took a long time to come...
And I won't forget The way you helped me up when I was down And I won't forget The way you said "darling, I love you" You gave me faith to go on Now we're there And we've only just begun This will be our year Took a long time to come...
The warmth of your smile Smile for me, little one And this will be our year Took a long time to come...
Crossfire Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Spring light in a hazy May And a man with a gun at the door Someone's crawling on the roof above All the media here for the show I've been waiting for our friends to come Like spiders down ropes to free - fall A thirty round clip for a visiting card Admit one to the embassy ball
Caught in the crossfire on Princes Gate Avenue In go the windows and out go the lights Call me a doctor. Fetch me a policeman I'm down on the floor in one hell of a fight
I'm just a soul with an innocent face A regular boy dressed in blue Conducting myself in a proper way As befitting the job that I do They came down on me like a ton of bricks Swept off my feet, knocked about There's nothing for it but to sit and wait For the hard men to get me out
Calm reason floats from the street below And the slow fuse burns through the night Everyone's tried to talk it through But they can't seem to get the deal right Somewhere there are Brownings in a two - hand hold Cocked and locked, one up the spout There's nothing for it but to sit and wait For the hard men to get me out
J'Avais Oublié Que Les Roses Sont Roses Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Tiens un oiseau qui chante tiens un enfant qui joue Une fleur qui s'invente un printemps pour deux sous Tiens un soleil qui brille d'où sort-il celui-là Des gens qui me sourient ça existe tout ça
{Refrain:} J'avais oublié que les roses sont roses J'avais oublié que les bleuets sont bleus J'avais oublié tant de belles choses J'avais oublié où avais-je les yeux
Une douce lumière s'enroule autour de moi Mille mains familières me fêtent comme un roi J'ai retrouvé ma vieille vie, jolis pulls délavés A l'instant je m'habille et je repars au passé {au Refrain}
Je me trouvais dans un vieux livre que j'ai relu cent fois Un monde où il fait bon vivre quitte à vivre sans toi Et toi qui n'est plus qu'une ombre dans le ciel bien trop bleu Enfin je suis du nombre des imbéciles heureux {au Refrain}

Hier encore j'avais deux amis Le premier s'appelait Buddy Hier encore j'avais deux amis Et l'autre s'appelait Eddy Un avion surgissant de l'ombre S'est écrasé dans un bruit d'enfer Un avion surgissant de l'ombre M'a privé de Buddy à jamais Un taxi aux portes de Londres Dérapant sur la chaussée mouillée Un taxi aux portes de Londres M'a fait perdre Eddy à tout jamais Le néon s'est éteint trop vite Et sur eux le rideau est tombé D'autres noms maintenant s'inscrivent Mais moi, je n' les oublierais jamais Hier encore j'avais deux amis Le premier s'appelait Buddy Hier encore j'avais deux amis Et l'autre s'appelait Eddy
This Wheel's On Fire Composer(s): Bob Dylan First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1967/1975 Covered by multiple other artists
If your memory serves you well We were going to meet again and wait So I'm going to unpack all my things And sit before it gets too late No man alive will come to you With another tale to tell But you know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode!
If your memory serves you well I was going to confiscate your lace And wrap it up in a sailor's knot And hide it in your case If I knew for sure that it was yours... But it was oh so hard to tell But you knew that we would meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode!
If your memory serves you well You'll remember you're the one That called on me to call on them To get you your favours done And after every plan had failed And there was nothing more to tell You knew that we would meet again If your memory served you well This wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode!
Cross The Border Composer(s): Petula Clark; Siegried Fietz Performer(s): Petula Clark
They say love goes where the stream flows Love will cross the border And if love shows us the way ... maybe The desert will bloom again I dreamed I was in Africa beneath a cloudless sky No food to feed my family No strength in me to cry
IT was only a dream thank GOD it won't come true But the suffering I've seen keeps haunting me through and through
But if love goes where the stream flows Love can cross the border And if love goes all the way ... maybe Their suffering will not be in vain I've seen the people searching for an answer to their pain I can still hear them praying for the rains to come again And they're willing to learn if we're willing to teach Deep beneath the earth there is water within our reach
They say love goes where the stream flows Love will cross the border and if love goes all the way ... they'll see That land growing green again
They say love goes where the stream flows Love can cross the border And if love goes all the way ... maybe The desert will bloom again

Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter Asked if she could help in any way I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial If i was in the need of company I asked her for some Java Instead she brought a cup of chickory
A taste of Java, is like a volcanic rush Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin too much Costs many more than you care to pay But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat the only pick-me-up that's here to stay

Java Blues ... coffee's got me Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee Java Blues ... you don't know what it does to me Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee You know that I'll stay high Drinkin' coffee till I die Java Blues ...

Ce souvenir, je te l'rends Des souvenirs tu sais, j'en ai tellement Puisqu'on repart toujours à zéro Pas la peine de s'charger trop
Ce souvenir je te l'prends Des souvenirs comme ça, j'en veux tout l'temps Si par erreur la vie nous sépare Je l'sortirai d'mon tiroir
J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien Ça n'va pas plus loin J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens Vivement demain
Mon bonheur te ressemble Tous les deux vous allez bien ensemble J'te l'dirai jamais, jamais assez Tout c'que tu fais m'fait d'l'effet
J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien Ça n'va pas plus loin J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens Vivement demain

Cross Over The Bridge Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin - George David Weiss
Performer(s): Patti Page
and multiple other artists
If you're a guy who's had a gal In each and every port And you've forgot the rules of love That life has always taught And if you broke as many hearts As ripples in a stream Well, brother, here's the only way That you can be redeemed
Cross over the bridge Cross over the bridge Change your reckless way of livin' Cross over the bridge Leave your fickle past behind you And true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge
If you have built a boat To take you to the greener side And if the boat is built Of ev'ry lie you ever lied You'll never reach the Promised Land of love I guarantee 'Cause lies cannot hold water And you'll sink into the sea
Cross over the bridge Cross over the bridge Change your reckless way of livin' Cross over the bridge Leave your fickle past behind you And true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge
I know it isn't easy To resist temptation's call But think of how your broken heart Will hurt you when you fall 'Cause some day you will find That you are hopelessly in love And she'll belong to someone else As sure as stars above
Cross over the bridge Cross over the bridge Change your reckless way of livin' Cross over the bridge Leave your fickle past behind you And true romance will find you Brother, cross over the bridge
