From Today


From Today ((French & Italian Versions: Désormais (Charles Aznavour); Oramai (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



From today I never more will say "I love you"
From today my road will take a different turning
So many chances are behind me
So many words I cannot mend

From today our journey to the stars is over
From today our castles in the air are burning
The dream that all began so sweetly
Has brought us to the bitter end

Chorus:

From today, never more will our
Song be sung, as it was when the world was young
And our love was new and splendid
From today, as the memories
Start to fade, all the miracles we have made
Are now ended, from today

From today I try to live without confusion
From today I try forgetting all about you
Too many words remain unspoken
Now there is nothing left to say

From today I'll walk away from disillusion
From today I'll wander through the world without you
Our little house of cards is broken
I have no numbers left to play

Repeat chorus

From today

The Last Rebel


The Last Rebel
Composer(s): Gary Rossington - Johnny Van Zant - Robert White Johnson - Michael Lunn
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



There's a grey horse standin' still
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride
The rain pours off his hat
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes

Now the cannons are silent
His friends are all gone, gotta put it all behind him
If he ever wants to find his way home
He's the last rebel on the road

Just a boy with his old guitar
Keeps to himself, but everybody takes him wrong
But he carried on, got a dream that will never die
Can't change him
No use in staying where you don't belong

Now he's rollin' down the highway
Gone too far too fast
No one will ever find him
He'll never look back

'Cause he's the last rebel
And he's all alone, he's the last rebel
His friends are all gone
He's the last rebel, the last rebel on the road

There'll never be another like him
He's the last of a dyin' breed
Ain't no use tryin' to change him
'Cause he's the last rebel
And he's all alone, he's the last rebel
His friends are all gone
He's the last rebel, the last rebel on the road

Chanson Pour Consoler


Chanson Pour Consoler
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Souris-moi et dis-moi
Est-ce que tu rêves de moi
Quand je ne suis pas là

Souris-moi et dis-moi
Regarde, regarde-moi
Est-ce que tu me trouves jolie comme ça

Je sais tu est fâché contre moi
Mais ça va passer
Quand ça passera

Souris-moi et dis-moi
Tu veux que je chante quoi
Moi je veux bien n'importe quoi

Souris-moi et dis-moi
Ne fais pas cette tête-là
Écoute, je chante pour toi

Souris-moi et dis-moi
Si je siffle, tu riras
Tu sais bien que je n'y arrive pas

From This Moment On


From This Moment On
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



From this moment on
You for me dear
Only two for tea dear
From this moment on

From this happy day
No more blue songs
Only hoop-de-doo songs
From this moment on

You've got the love I need so much
Got the skin I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight

From this moment on
You and I babe
We'll be ridin' high babe
Every care is gone
From this moment on

You've got the love I need so much
Got the skin I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight

From this moment on
You and I babe
We'll be ridin' high babe
Every care is gone
From this moment
From this moment
This very moment
This moment on

The Last Picasso


The Last Picasso
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



The last Picasso, the last Picasso was just acquired by some old museum, and Don Quixote
Well Don Quixote the old man's rhyme has lost its reason
which only reminds me have I remembered to say that without you this life of plenty
would seem so empty, the last Picasso

Oh me and you --me oh me oh me oh me and you--
We, we can sigh --me oh me oh me oh me oh we can sigh
The last Picasso, the last Picasso may gather dust amid the ruins
and Don Quixote, Well Don Quixote may no longer make his wishful tunes
but I still have you and I will have you when everything else is gone and done with
We'll be like one with the last Picasso

Oh me and you --me oh me oh me oh me oh me and you--
We, we can sigh --me oh me oh me oh me oh we can sigh
Oh, me and you --me oh me oh me oh me oh me and you--
We, we can sigh --me oh me oh me oh me oh we can sigh
Oh, me and you --we, we can sigh me oh me oh me oh we can sigh
Oh, me and you

Chanson Ouverte


Chanson Ouverte Composer(s): A. Goldstein - Gabriel Yared Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Chanson ouverte
À celui j'connais pas
Qui m'fait rêver tout bas
À celui qu'est pas là
Mais qui vit tout près d'moi
Dans ma tête nuit et jour
Lui déclare sans détour
Pour toujours
Tout l'amour
Chanson ouverte
À celui dont j'ai pas
L'adresse ni l'téléphone
Celui qui entendra
La p'tite chanson qui sonne
Dans sa tête nuit et jour
Qui déclare sans discours
Pour toujours
Tout l'amour

From The Vine Came The Grape


From The Vine Came The Grape
Composer(s): Paul Cunningham; Leonard Whitcup
Performer(s): The Gaylords; The Hilltoppers



From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
From the wine came a dream to a lover
He was back with Marie on the Isle of Capri
With a million stars shining above her
Once again he romanced as the kissed and they danced
And even her wedding bells chimed

From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
And for Tony, a wonderful time

With a song in his heart
He would sip another little glass of wine
With each sip he would cry
My bella Maria you're mine

From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
From the wine came a dream to a lover
He was back with Marie on the Isle of Capri
With a million stars shining above her
Once again he romanced as the kissed and they danced
And even her wedding bells chimed
From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
And for Tony a wonderful time
For Tony a wonderful time

Dietro L'amore


Dietro L'amore
((French Version: Derrière L'amour (Johnny Hallyday))
Composer(s): Toto Cutugno - Vito Pallavicini
Performer(s): Toto Cutugno; Amaury Vassili



Dietro l'amore cosa c'è?
Due processioni di perché
Domande mai esposte, fiduce mal riposte
Paure, voglie che tu hai e che non tiri fuori mai
Sentirsi grande dentro e poi sentirsi niente

E stringimi, stringimi forte, fammi stordire insieme a te
Amami, amami forte, chiudi il tuo corpo dentro a me

Dietro il tuo amore cosa c'è?
La donna che appare a me
E quando fai l'amore, vuoi proprio far l'amore
Istinto, femminilità, tra una bugia o verità
Dierto l'amore cosa c'è?
Che cosa c'è davvero?

Stringimi, stringimi forte, fammi stordire insieme a te
Amami, amami forte, chiudi il tuo corpo dentro a me

E le mie mani su di te, i tuoi respiri dentro a me
Il tuo spogliarti lento, il lume ormai già spento

Stringimi, stringimi forte, fammi stordire insieme a te
Amami, amami forte, chiudi il tuo corpo dentro a me
Stringimi, stringimi forte, fammi stordire insieme a te
Amami, amami forte, chiudi il tuo corpo dentro a me

Chanson Indienne


Chanson Indienne Composer(s): Robert Gall - David Whitaker Performer(s): France Gall



Collines bleues et champs de lavande
Oranges et roses au bord du Gange
Je ne verrai jamais
L'Inde mon merveilleux pays

Mille senteurs, le tabac en fleur
La neige au loin douce à mon cœur
Je ne verrai jamais
L'Inde mon merveilleux pays

La terre sèche, le peuple prie
Oh je voudrais que tombe la pluie
Que les enfants n'aient plus faim
Dans mon pays

Je suis perdue dans la nuit
Dans cette ville où je vis
Jamais de chants ou de rires
Et rien que vivre pour mourir

Collines bleues et champs de lavande
Oranges et roses au bord du Gange
Je ne verrai jamais
L'Inde mon merveilleux pays

Mille senteurs, le tabac en fleur
La neige au loin douce à mon cœur
Je ne verrai jamais
L'Inde mon merveilleux pays

Trop de tonnerre tombe sur la ville
Trop de soldats pour chaque fille
Le cœur tranquille dans mon pays
Où est-il?

From The Underworld


From The Underworld
Composer(s): Howard Blaikley;
Alan Blaikley; Ken Howard
Performer(s): The Herd



Out of the land of shadows and
darkness, we were returning
Towards the morning light
Almost in reach of places I knew
Escaping the ghosts of Yesterday
You were behind me following
closely
"Don't turn around now"
I heard you whisper in my ear
"If you should turn now
All that you won
Will vanish just like a passing dream
Just on the very verge of the
morning, daylight was dawning
freedom was but a step away
now with the deep dark river
behind us
what could go wrong if I stayed
strong in mind
What was the sudden lapse into
madness, what was the urge that
turned my head around to look at you?
What was the stubborn will
to destroy the love and the joy
I nearly held?
Three times the thunder roared
in my ears
in all of my years I'll see that lost
look in your eyes
As, with a sigh like smoke in the wind
you slipped from my grasp into
the waiting shadows
so much I longed to say
but my touch found only the
empty air and a black nights
coldness
Into another world you entered
and never again I can reclaim you

Het Geluid Van Stilte


Het Geluid Van Stilte ((Adapted from: The Sound Of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel) - 1964)) Composer(s): Paul Simon - Lennaert Nijgh Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - 1965

Versions In Other Languages: 1966 - La Voix Du Silence (Marie Laforêt) 1966 - La Tua Immagine (Mike Liddell & Gli Atomi) 1975 - Il Suono Del Silenzio (Adriano Pappalardo) 1982 - Chanson D'innocence (Gérard Lenorman)



Luister duisternis, mijn vriend
Waaraan heb ik het verdiend
Dat ik telkens in mijn dromen
Dezelfde angst moet tegen komen
En het visioen dat mij bedreigd
En 'k iedere nacht weer verwacht
Met het geluid van stilte

In iedere droom loop ik alleen
Door straten zonder einde heen
Onder een kille straatlantaren
Sta 'k in de donkere nacht te staren
Tot ik verblind wordt door een flits in mijn gezicht
Neonlicht
En ik hoor 't geluid van stilte

En dan zie ik telkens weer
Tienduizend mensen, misschien meer
Zonder iets te zeggen fluisteren
Horen maar naar niemand luisteren
Luidjes schrijven die geen sterveling zingen wil
Het blijft stil
Ik hoor alleen de stilte

Vreemd dat ik het nu pas weet
Dat stilte in mijn hersens vreet
Zijn mijn woorden niet te horen
Gaan mijn gebaren soms verloren
Want mijn woorden vallen als de regen stil
Zonder wil
Echo van niets dan stilte

En men is bang van elk gebod
Van de hoge neongod
En aan alle kanten preken
Lichtreclames als een teken
Dat de woorden van profeten op de schuttingen staan
Als vermaan
Er rest alleen de stilte...

From The Plains To Mexico


From The Plains To Mexico
Composer(s): The Residents
Performer(s): The Residents



We were lyin' on the prairie on Slaughter's ranch one night
With our heads upon our saddles, and a campfire burnin' bright
Soon we fell to talkin' of distant friends so dear
When a boy raised up his saddle, and he wiped (brushed) away a tear

Oh, I fell in love with a neighbor girl, her cheeks were soft and white
Another feller loved her too, and it ended in a fight
Oh it makes me shake and shudder to think of that awful night
When Tom and I began to fight, and I stabbed him with my knife

I fell down on my knees and tried to stop the blood
That came out from his side all spurtin'
Like some bright red crimson flood

And now when I am sleepin' I hear him softly say
Oh Bob, I know your sorry, but I've gone to a better place
And yes, I guess I believe it, but I just can't let him go
His dyin' eyes are with me, from the plains to Mexico

The Last Old Shovel


The Last Old Shovel
Composer(s): Jim Scott
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers
and multiple other artists



They buried her on the side of the mountain
There my darling sleeps in the ground
I stayed by her side 'til they covered her over
And the last old shovel was laid down

Till the last old shovel was laid down, laid down
Till the last old shovel was laid down
I stayed by her side and I cried and I cried
When the last old shovel was laid down

I think of her when it's stormy and raining
In that mountain far away
I long to be laid by her side on that mountain
There'll be rest for me on that day

There'll be rest for me on that day, that day
There'll be rest for me on that day
I long to be laid by her side on that mountain
On that mountain far away

Oh bury me where my true love is sleeping
Where she lies in that lonesome ground
I'll find sweet rest by the side of my darling
When the last old shovel is laid down

When the last old shovel is laid down, laid down
When the last old shovel is laid down
I'll find sweet rest by the side of my darling
When the last old shovel is laid down

La Voix Du Silence


La Voix Du Silence ((aka Chanson D'innocence (Gérard Lenorman) - 1982)) ((Adapted from: The Sound Of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel) - 1964)) Composer(s): Paul Simon - Pierre Saka - Laure Gineal Performer(s): Marie Laforêt - 1966

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Het Geluid Van Stilte (Boudewijn de Groot) 1966 - La Tua Immagine (Mike Liddell & Gli Atomi) 1975 - Il Suono Del Silenzio (Adriano Pappalardo)



Autrefois, je ne savais pas
Qu'il est des mots qu'on n'entend pas
Mais un soir une ombre est venue
Qui m'a dit: "Écoute un peu plus
Une voix te parle aux mots inconnus
Entends-tu
La voix du silence?"

Je m'en suis allé promener
Les peupliers se sont penchés
Pour me raconter des histoires
Qu'ils étaient les seuls à savoir
Et le vent et la mer
Doucement me parlaient
J'entendais
La voix du silence

Et depuis j'ai vu des gens
Qui jetaient des mots à tous vents
Et qui discouraient sans parler
Qui entendaient sans écouter
En proposant des chants connus
Que nulle voix n'a jamais repris
Et leurs cris
Couvrent la voix du silence

Les hommes ne voient plus les fleurs
Ils en ont pris des rides au coeur
Ils espèrent en faisant du bruit
Meubler le vide de leur vie
Et même au ton, sans un bruit
En gouttes de rosée
Étouffées
Etouffées comme la voix du silence

Toi tu dors à mon côté
Et je n'ose pas parler
De peur que mes mots se confondent
Avec le bruit que fait le Monde
Mais je t'aime tant
Qu'un jour enfin tu comprendras
Tu m'entendras
Dire les mots du silence

From The Morning


From The Morning
Composer(s): Nick Drake
Performer(s): Nick Drake; Scott T. Appel;
Mike Dumovich; Sweetbird



A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around

So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning

And now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around

So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning

The Last Of The Teenage Idols


The Last Of The Teenage Idols
Composer(s): Alistair Cleminson - Alex Harvey - Hugh McKenna
Performer(s): The Sensational Alex Harvey Band



You can call me the sheik of tomorrow
sleeping on the burning sand
You can call me the king of the cowboys
cause everybody shakes my hand
You can call me the soft shoe banana
You can peel away my skin
You can call me The Last of The Teenage Idols

You can hang me in the morning
Sell my ball and chain
You can sink me in the ocean
and I'll swim back home again
You can make love to my secretary
You can steal my money too
You can call me the last of the big time spenders... aahh

Grab your partners come inside
Outside there's no place to hide
Tell your story to the man next door
He has heard it many times before
Stayin' out late to play that thing
Ah, do that diddy dah dah a ding ding ding
Hold my hand, here we go, come on baby don't be slow

'Cause I'm The Last of the Teenage Idols!
The Last of the Teenage Idols!

Sixteen ducks, only one drake
All flocked together in the middle of the lake
They all had boats and row-a-thon
A big sand castle at the bottom of the moat
Rock three, who, me?
I wouldn't be at all surprised
Hold tight, all night, keeping me satisfied

A big fat mama on her hands and knees
Cryin' out baby, baby please, please, please
I gotta keep going. I can't keep still
I gotta get to the top of the hill
Ok, Alright, I wanna stay out late tonight
Hold my hand, don't be slow
Come on baby here we go

I'm the Last of the Teenage Idols
The Last of the Teenage Idols
The Last of the Teenage Idols
Last of the Teenage Idols
I'm the Last of the Teenage Idols
The Last...

Sha la la la, sha la la la, sha la la woh... ohhh...

I was the winner of the Teenage Idol competition
And I knew in my heart we would never part, mmm...
I was the winner of the Teenage Idol competition
And I knew, mmmm, uhh...

Chanson D'innocence


Chanson D'innocence ((aka La Voix Du Silence (Marie Laforêt) - 1966)) ((Adapted from: The Sound Of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel) - 1964)) Composer(s): Paul Simon - Didier Barbelivien Performer(s): Gérard Lenorman - 1982

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Het Geluid Van Stilte (Boudewijn de Groot) 1966 - La Tua Immagine (Mike Liddell & Gli Atomi) 1975 - Il Suono Del Silenzio (Adriano Pappalardo)



Elle disait faut pas toucher
Aux oiseaux dans les champs de blé
Je tuerai le chasseur qui les tuera
Je te tuerai même si c'était toi
Et la violence de ces paroles
De cette chanson d'innocence
Ça m'fait pleurer quand j'y pense

Catherine le monde as changé
Les chasseurs sont du bon coté
Pour les oiseaux y a plus grand-chose à faire
Il tuerons les pigeons au nucléaire
Les champs de blé de nos jeux d'enfance
Seront bientôt comme comme ce désert
Comment me taire quand j'y pense

Ils s'ont fiers de leurs bombardiers
De leurs soldats, de leurs idées
Y a des goulags pour ceux qui parlent trop
Y a des médailles pour jouer les héros
Y a pas une chanson qui peut faire
Changer les choses, non aucune chose
Ça m'fait chanter quand j'y pense

Les maîtres de la guerre sont là
Dieu est à leurs côtés tu vois
Ils se déguisent derrière leurs discours
Ils nous mentent un peu plus chaque jour
Quand les larmes et le sang
N'auront plus aucun sens
J'irais prier si j'y pense

Elle disait faut pas toucher
Aux oiseaux dans les champs de blé
Je tuerai le chasseur qui les tuera
Je te tuerai même si c'était toi
Je me demande si elle croit
Toujours en la violence
Ou si elle croit encore en l'amour
Ça m'fait douter quand j'y pense

From The Heart


From The Heart
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon



One of us slipped last night
And said "Darling"
There in the middle of the night
Between dream and sleep
Did you say it or did I
I don't know
But it interrupted the war
That's the way
These cold wars are

I love you we said
Or one of us did
And the other agreed
From the heart

One of us slipped last night
And said "Sorry"
There in the middle of the madness
Between the dark and the light
Who cares if all the doors had been closed
And no love had entered for days
Cold wars like these go up in a blaze

I love you we said
Or one of us did
And the other agreed
From the heart

Through the haze of the dream
The truth could come through
You can see that I'm still
Open to you
I love you
I love you we said from the heart

The Last Mile Home


The Last Mile Home
Composer(s): Walter Kent - Walton Farrar
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists



(The longest mile, the sweetest mile
The last mile home)

The longest mile is the last mile home
When you've been away
The dearest dreams are the dreams of home
When you've been away
You travel far over land and sea
Then one day it's as clear as can be
The sweetest mile you'll ever roam
Is the last mile home

(You can travel round the globe
And see a lot of things
From Mandalay to old Pompeii
To Paris in the spring)

But you'll only learn one thing
Yes, just one thing.
You travel far over land and sea
Then one day it's as clear as can be
The sweetest mile you'll ever roam
Is the last mile home
