Ton Âme Composer(s): Gerard Hemery - Michael Delancray - Mya Simille - Pascal Danel Performer(s): Dalida; Pascal Danel
Parce qu'elle ressemble à un visage Où le temps écrit son passage Mon âme Parce qu'elle a souvent voyagé De curs en curs sans s'arrêter Mon âme Parce qu'elle a un peu trop servi Un peu trop dit je t'aime aussi Mon âme Ton âme a su pourtant me plaire Depuis je ne peux m'en défaire Ton âme
Et parce qu'en mille rides vives Tant de wagons suivirent sa rive Mon âme Elle est pareille à la souffrance Cette vieille amie de mon enfance Mon âme Qu'elle a dormi dans bien des lits L'éternité de quelques nuits Mon âme Ton âme a su pourtant me prendre Depuis je ne peux m'en défendre De ton âme
Parce qu'elle n'a plus beaucoup de pages Au fond de son livre d'images Mon âme Que souvent quand elle voudrait rire Des larmes se cachent dans son sourire Mon âme Et parce qu'en ses yeux l'oiseau tombe Résumant les chagrins du monde Mon âme Ton âme a su me tendre un piège Mois qui ai subi tant de sièges Ton âme
Parce qu'aujourd'hui elle me fait vivre Le premier chapitre de mon livre Ton âme Parce qu'à mes yeux elle est si douce Qu'on dirait comme l'eau de source Ton âme Parce qu'elle fait partie de ma chair Qu'elle fait racine dans ma terre Ton âme Ton âme a su me faire écrire Ces mots que je n'ai pas su dire Je t'aime Ton âme a su me faire écrire Ces mots que je n'ai pas su dire Je t'aime
I Guess Ill Have To Change My Plan Composer(s): Howard Dietz; Arthur Schwartz Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
I guess I'll have to change my plan I should have realized there'd be another man I overlooked that point completely Until the big affair began
Before I knew where I was at I found myself upon the shelf and that was that I tried to reach the moon but when I got there All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground I lost the one girl I'd found
I guess I'll have to change my plan I should have realized there'd be another man Why did I buy those blue pajamas Before that big affaire began?
My boiling point is much too low For me to try to be a fly Lothario I think I'll crawl right back and into my shell Dwelling in my personal hell
I'll have to change my plan around I lost the one girl I've found

Join Together Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who; Tony Stevens
When you hear this sound coming Hear the drummer drumming Won't you join together with the band We don't move in any particular direction And we don't make no collections Won't you join together with the band
Do you really think I care What you eat or what you wear Won't you join together with the band There's a million ways to laugh Every one's a path Won't you join together with the band
Everybody join together Won't you join together Come on and join together with the band We need to join together Won't you join together Come on and join together with the band
You don't have to play You can follow or lead the way Won't you join together with the band We don't know where we're going But the season's right for knowing Won't you join together with the band
It's the singer not the song That makes the music move along Won't you join together with the band This is the biggest band you'll find It's as deep as it is wide Won't you join together with the band
In the evenin', when the lights are low I hear him say he'll love you so But don't believe him, he's leavin' town And he'll make you, uum-uum, tomorrow's clown
Oh, can't you see, he's playing it cool Don't let him make you such a fool If you don't see how he'll let you down You have no wish to be tomorrow's clown
Tomorrow's clown will be so lonely Tomorrow's clown won't be so gay Tomorrow's clown will love me only But I might have flown away
You better take a listen, little dreamer You won't be dreamin' long He's gonna leave ya, he's gonna do you so wrong And if you don't see how he'll let you down You have no wish, you have no wish To be tomorrow's clown

I Gotta Get Drunk Composer(s): Willie Nelson First release by: Willie Nelson - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it 'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do I'll start to spend my money Callin' everybody honey And wind up singin' the blues I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck And brother I can name you a few
Well I gotta get drunk I just can't stay sober There's a lot of good people in town who wanna hear me holler See me spend my dollars and I wouldn't think of lettin' `em down
There's a lot of doctors that tell me I better start slowin' it down But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors So I think that I'll have another round!
Johnny Will Composer(s): Frederick K. Tobias; Paul Evans Performer(s): Pat Boone; Paul Evans
I gotta get some money and get it right away Because my baby she gave me the word today She's tired of sittin' home each night, she says she's had her fill And if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will
I checked and found they're sellin' tickets at five bucks each And all that kinda money ain't within my reach But if I wanna be the guy who is her only thrill I'd better take her to the dance next week or Johnny will
Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny He's been tryin' to steal my lovin' baby away Sends her candy, sends her flowers And I never saw her smile the way she smiled at him today
I tried to borrow it from my friends, but they said "no" Still somehow, some way I just gotta get that dough My future happiness depends on one ten-dollar bill 'Cos if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will, Johnny will

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream It is not dying It is not dying Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void It is shining, oh it is shining That you may see the meaning of within It is beginning, oh it is beginning That love is all and love is everyone It is knowing, oh it is knowing And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead It is believing, oh it is believing So play the game, existence to the end Of the beginning, of the beginning Of the beginning, of the beginning...
