Refrain


Refrain (English & German Versions: Last Night; Refrain, Du Goldner Traum Aus Meiner Jugendzeit) Composer(s): Géo Voumard; Gardaz First performance by: Lys Assia - 1956



Refrain d'amour, ou ou ou ou
Refrain, couleur du ciel, parfum de mes vingt ans
Jardin plein de soleil où je courais enfant
Partout, je t'ai cherché‚ mon amoureux lointain
Guettant par les sentiers où tu prenais ma main

Les jours s'en sont allés et nous avons grandi
L'amour nous a blessés, le temps nous a guéris
Mais seule et sans printemps
Je cours en vain les bois, les champs
Dis souviens-toi, nos amours d'autrefois

Les années passent à tire d'ailes
Et sur les toits de mon ennui, coule la pluie
Où sont parties les caravelles
Volant mon coeur, portant mes rêves vers ton oubli?
J'aurais voulu que tu reviennes comme jadis
Porter des fleurs à ma persienne
Et ta jeunesse en mon logis

Refrain, couleur de pluie, regrets de mes vingt ans
Chagrin, mélancolie de n'être plus enfant
Mais seule et loin de toi, par les chemins où tu n'es pas
Je vais pleurant mes amours de vingt ans

Che vuoi che sia per me
soffrire un po’
se devi andare via
adesso vai
non ti richiamerò
come tu vuoi
e mentre te ne andrai
io canterò
A questo mondo sai
non tutto và
come vorremmo noi
non sempre và
non ti accarezzerò
come tu vuoi
e mentre te ne andrai
io canterò
Che vuoi che sia per me
soffrire un po’ di più
quante volte ho già pianto per te
per te che hai già
chi ti consolerà
in quanto a me
qualcosa accadrà
A questo mondo sai
non tutto và
come vorremmo noi
non sempre và
se scriverai o no
risponderò
se cercherai di me
non ci sarò

Chug-A-Lug (Roger Miller)


Chug-A-Lug Composer(s): Roger Miller - Gary Usher - Brian Wilson Performer(s): Roger Miller



Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Make you want to holler hi-de-ho
Burns your tummy, don'tcha know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

Grape wine in a Mason jar
Homemade and brought to school
By a friend of mine 'n' after class
Me and him and this other fool decide that we'll drink up what's left
Chug-a-lug, so we helped ourself
First time for everything
Mm, my ears still ring

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Make you want to holler hi-de-ho
Burns your tummy, don'tcha know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

4-H and FFA on a field trip to the farm
Me 'n' a friend sneak off behind
This big old barn where we uncovered a covered-up moonshine still
And we thought we'd drink our fill
And I swallered it with a smile
*Bllll-bbbb*, I run ten mile

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Make you want to holler hi-de-ho
Burns your tummy, don'tcha know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

Jukebox 'n' sawdust floor
Sumpin' like I ain't never seen
And I'm just going on fifteen
But with the help of my finaglin' uncle I get snuck in
For my first taste of sin.
I said "Lemme have a big old sip"
*Bllll-bbbb*, I done a double back flip

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Make you want to holler hi-de-ho
Burns your tummy, don'tcha know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

Reflections Of My Life


Reflections Of My Life
Composer(s): William Campbell; Thomas McAleese
Performer(s): Marmalade;
and various other artists



The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my mind

All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings (all my cryings), feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home (oh I'm going home)

I'm changing, arranging, I'm changing
I'm changing everything, ah, everything around me
The world is a bad place, a bad place
A terrible place to live, oh, but I don't wanna die

All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings (all my cryings), feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home (oh I'm going home)

Ei väli pöytien lie pitkäkään
vaan pöydän viereisen mä tuskin nään
Sun kanssas’ jakaa sen nyt toinen voi
Mä yksin kuuntelen, kun kaukaa soi

Kun hänet tanssimaan sä pyydät noin
niin hetkeen seuraavaan mä nähdä voin
Sun sanas’ uskoo hän ja unelmoi
Mä tiedän enemmän, nyt teille soi

Sä olit elänyt jo mua ennenkin
Etkä tiennyt kuinka pelkäsin
sä että vertaisit mua muihin
Mutta näin, mä syliin toisen sua työnsin sylistäin

Niin selvin sanoin sain mä kuulla sen
nyt että oisin vain - se entinen
Mä sua ymmärrän - en mitään voi
Nään teidän lähtevän, ja vielä soi

On tyhjää pimeää, vain jossain soi

Chuck E.'s In Love Composer(s): Rickie Lee Jones Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones; Kymaera



How come he don't come and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more?
And how come he turn off the T.V.
And he hang that sign on the door?
Well we call and we call
How come, we say
Hell, what could make a boy behave this away
Yeah, well he learned all of the lines now

And everytime he don't a s-stutter when he talks
And it's true, it's true
He sure has acquired this kinda cool
And inspired sort of jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
Hey, if this ain't healthy it is some kinda clean
Fact is that

Is he here?
I look for him in the pool hall
Well is he here?
I look in the drug store
Well is he here?
No, he don't come here no more

Well I tell you what I saw him
He was sitting behind us down at the Pantages
And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
Well, I hope it isn't contagious
What's her name?
Is that her there?
Oh Christ, I think he's even combed his hair
And is that her
Well then what's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be the same
That's not her
I know what's wrong
Cause Chuck E.'s in love

Reflections


Reflections
Composer(s): Brian Holland;
Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr.
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes



Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality

Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine

As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've wasted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've tasted
All in vain

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust

After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust...

The Music Of The Night


The Music Of The Night
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Richard Stilgoe - Charles Hart
First performance by: Michael Crawford - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to go
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the harmony which dreams alone can write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

Chronique Pour L'an 2000


Chronique Pour L'an 2000
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Peuple de l'an 2000
Je viens, braves gens
De la nuit des temps
Parler d'un passé
Peut-être oublié
Mais très excitant
Les hommes sur la Terre
S'aimaient comme des frères
Et leur seul but sacré
S'appelait tiercé
Qu'ils répudiaient parfois
Pour un beau porte-clés

C'est au milieu
De cette joie tranquille
Que se déclencha
La grande bataille
Qu'on appela terrible
Et qui opposa
Deux de nos idoles
Nommées dans le vent
Qui pour une mèche de cheveux
Aux poudres mirent le feu
Partageant la planète
En deux clans très curieux

Beatniks et antis
Tels étaient leurs slogans
Guitares et ciseaux
Leurs seules armes
Du moment
Moi qui n'était que bon enfant
Je fus nommé sur le champ
Arbitre pour ce match sanglant

Rejetant mes conseils
Maintes fois prodigués
La lutte a continué
Ils préféraient se battre
Refusant de penser
Que venant les années
À quarante ans leurs crânes
Seraient désertés
Mais ils me rétorquaient
"Toi reste dans ton coin
Et laisse-nous profiter
De cette publicité"

Beatniks et antis
Tels étaient leurs slogans
Guitares et ciseaux
Leurs seules armes
Du moment
Les Casques Bleus furent débordés
Les lois de la guerre renversées
Oui, le Monde fut bouleversé

La morale de cette chronique
Est simple à constater
Les cheveux sont ingrats
À quoi bon les chanter?
Braves gens de l'An 2000
Je ne vous souhaite pas
Cette guerre civile
Terrible qui un jour nous arriva!

Performer(s): Alice Cooper; Dramarama



Look upstanding with your head held high
You will be reflected
You look outstanding with your eyes in disguise
Just beyond your mask-qes

Holy, Hollywood (he), it's divine
I'm surely glad, I'm surely all the time
And even though I'm, you will always hear

Very rarely worry upmost constantly
Could you be receptive
Our life's outstanding in a shower please
Wet my skids a plenty

Baby, what a day all over town
I'm surely glad, I'm surely all around
And even since I knew, it's all so clear

You will be reflected
You will be reflected
You will be reflected
You will be reflected, reflected

Yeah...

Chrome


Chrome
Composer(s): Joe Jackson
Performer(s): Joe Jackson Band



You always were the special one
The breath of air, the heap of fun
You always had a kind of light
That might dismay or might delight

I thought about you all along
I used to doubt you
Guess I was wrong

Now you shine like chrome
You’re a star and bold like chrome
And from Tokyo to Rome
We’re all aware of you
Now you shine like chrome
You’re so hard and cold like chrome
And I’d like to take you home
But I’m scared of you

It’s nice to see you looking well
I know your age, but I won’t tell
You always had a kind of glow
You’re luminous
But I guess you know

I see it clearly
You’re gonna shine
I never really thought you’d be mine

Now you shine like chrome
You’re a star and bold like chrome
And from Tokyo to Rome
We’re all aware of you
Now you shine like chrome
You’re so hard and cold like chrome
And I’d like to take you home
But I’m scared of you

Reet Petite And Gone


Reet Petite And Gone
Composer(s): Louis Jordan; Julia Lee
Performer(s): Louis Jordan;
and various other artists



I got a girl who beats 'em all
She isn't too short and she isn't too tall
She's in the groove and she's right on the ball
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone

Oh what a babe, she's the tops
When we go out they don't need traffic cops
'Cause one look at her and the traffic stops
She is reet, petite and gone

When the boys all gather 'round at night to have a ball
Now that I've got this fine gal, I don't pay no mind at all

No more nights at sloppy Joe's
No more bettin' on the nose
I'll give up all my fancy clothes
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone

This time I'm gonna do things right
Never let my baby out of my sight
We'll tie the knot and tie it tight
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone

Got some money in my jeans
Feeling like a man of means
But I'll give up all those other queens
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone

That chick has really changed my attitude
Whenever I gaze on her pulchritude
I'm telling you boys, she's so mighty fine
She's got me all wrapped up like a ball of twine

All the other girls, they leave me cold
You can't compare brass to fourteen-carat gold
When they made her, they broke the mold
She is reet, petite and gone

I got a girl who beats 'em all
She isn't too short and she isn't too tall
She's in the groove and she's right on the ball
'Cause she's reet, petite and gone

Did My Heart Beat?


Did My Heart Beat?
Composer(s): Benee Russell - George W. Meyer - Pete Wendling
Performer(s): Pat O'Malley



Did my heart beat
The moment that I looked at you
Did my heart beat
And say that no-one else would do
Just one little stumble
Did I take a tumble
And did I fall in love

Was my face red
I hardly knew just what to say
Was my face red
I must have shown it every way
Just one little stumble
Did I take a tumble
And did I fall in love

We talked awhile of this and that
The night was so divine
We walked awhile and then we sat
Then suddenly your lips met mine

Did I run home
And tell it to the family
Did I run home
To tell them you belong to me
Just one little stumble
Did I take a tumble
And did I fall in love

Christopher Columbus (Andy Kirk)


Christopher Columbus Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Andy Razaf Performer(s): Andy Kirk



Mister Christopher columbus
Sailed the sea without a compass
When his men began a rumpus
Up spoke, Christopher Columbus

There is land somewhere
Until we get there
We will not go wrong
If we sing, "swing a song"

Since the world is round
We'll be safe and sound
Til our goal is found
We'll just keep rhythm bound

Soon the crew was makin merry
Then came a yell, "Let's drink to Isabelle
Hum, bring the rum, Ho Hum"

No more mutiny,
What a time at sea
With di-plo-ma-cy
Christy made his-to-ry

Mister Christopher Columbus
He used rhythm as a compass
Music ended all the rumpus
Wise old Christopher Columbus

Reelin' In The Years


Reelin' In The Years
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan;
Eddie M.; Marvelous 3



Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand

Chorus:
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand

Chorus

I spent a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can't understand

Chorus
