Je pense queue
Je pense queue
J'adore les cadors
Les petites chiennes en calor

Je pense queue
Je pense queue
J'les prends ces petites bébêtes
Teckel chow-chow en levrette

Je pense queue

Clébards en collier
Bâtardes sans pedigree

Je pense queue
Je pense queue
Donne la papatte, suce sucre , allez couché

Je pense queue
Je pense queue
Et j'finis toujours par leur donner
Mon nonosse à moelle à ronger

Tilt Billings And The Student Prince


Tilt Billings And The Student Prince
Composer(s): Leo Kottke - Ron Nagle
Performer(s): Leo Kottke



Tilt Billings saw a guitar in a pawn shop window
Not much to look at but he knew that he'd found
That old Student Prince that they made years ago
So easy to play - what unbeatable sound!
Paid twenty bucks and grabbed his guitar
Still be a steal at ten times the dough
It was amazing how a mere beginner
Could play just a few notes and sound like a pro
He'd play his heart out when he was at parties
Guys would get jealous - but girls were impressed
They'd ask how he did it he'd say
"Nothin' to it, with this kind of guitar it brings out my best"
One night when he had the room captivated
He took five and set down his prince
When a drunk stumbled by and sat down where he laid it
And he's never sounded quite the same since
Ron Nagle's House Party
So Tilt's still upset but he's givin' up crying
Just can't lift his eyes from the sad, sad ground
Time marches on with its fingers still trying
To find, once again, that Student Prince sound

Je Pense Encore À Toi


Je Pense Encore À Toi
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Je suis entré dans l'église
Et je n'y ai vu personne
Que le regard éteint du plâtre des statues
Je connais un endroit où il n'y a rien au-dessus
Je pense encore à toi
J'aurais dû me méfier des vents qui tourbillonnent
De ces pierres qui taillent cachées sous l'eau qui dort
De ces bouts de ruisseaux qui deviennent des ports
Je pense encore à toi
On m'avait dit que tout s'efface
Heureusement que le temps passe
J'aurai appris qu'il faut longtemps
Mais le temps passe, heureusement, heureusement
J'ai croisé le mendiant qui a perdu sa route
Dans mon manteau de pluie je lui ressemble un peu
Et puis j'ai ton image plantée dans les yeux
Je pense encore à toi

Till We Meet Again


Till We Meet Again
Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting - Raymond B. Egan
Performer(s): Henry Burr & Albert Campbell
and multiple other artists



There's a song in the land of the lily
Each sweetheart has heard with a sigh
Over high garden walls this sweet echo falls
As a soldier boy whispers goodbye

Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in Lover's Lane, my dearie

Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Ev'ry tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again

Though goodbye means the birth of a teardrop
Hello means the birth of a smile
And the smile will erase the tear blighting trace
When we meet in the after awhile

Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in Lover's Lane, my dearie

Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Ev'ry tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again

I Am In Love


I Am In Love
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance: Peter Cookson - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists



I am dejected, I am depressed
Yet resurrected and sailing the crest
Why this elation mixed with deflation
What explanation
I am in love

Such conflicting questions rise around my brain
Should I order cyanide or order champagne
Oh, what is this sudden jolt
I feel like a frightened colt
Just hit by a thunderbolt
I am in love

I knew the hours were against me before
I have no flare for flaming desire
But since the gods gave me you to adore
I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire

So, come and enlighten my days and never depart
You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart
But I am only in love with you
And so in need of a stampede of love
I’m so in need of a stampede of love
I’m so in need of a stampede of love
I’m so in need of love

Je Pense À Toi


Je Pense À Toi
Dutch Title: Ik Denk Aan Jou
Composer(s): Michel Delpech;
Jean-Michel Rivat; Roland Vincent
Performer(s): Michel Delpech



Je débarquais à n'importe quelle heure
On cuisinait, on dînait tous les trois
Vous aviez l'air d'un couple sans problème
Je vous aimais, elle, aussi bien que toi
Avec le temps je suis venu pour elle
Tu n'as rien vu mais j'étais amoureux
Elle attendait que je parte avec elle
Il a fallu te rendre malheureux

{Refrain:}
Je pense à toi
Souvent je crois t'entendre
Me dire que chez toi
C'était aussi chez moi
Je pense à toi
Tu ne dois rien comprendre
Tu dois être abattu
Terriblement déçu

Tu me disais que j'étais son grand frère
Je m'asseyais au bord de votre lit
En vous quittant j'éteignais la lumière
Et finalement je prenais mon taxi
J'imaginais que j'étais à ta place
Je me sentais horriblement gêné
J'avais du mal à te parler en face
J'avais envie de tout te raconter

{au Refrain}

J'ai beau chercher me trouver des prétextes
Je sais très bien que rien ne tient debout
Mais on était toujours ensemble ou presque
Même à Noël en pendant le mois d'Août
Bien entendu quand on est aussi proche
Ces choses-là sont forcées d'arriver
Ce n'est qu'après qu'on se fait des reproches
Je ne vis plus depuis qu'on t'a laissé

{au Refrain, ad lib}

Till They’ve All Gone Home


Till They’ve All Gone Home
Composer(s): Alex Alstone - Hilliard
Performer(s): Joan Regan



Till they’ve all gone home, till they’ve said goodnight
Join the party and let’s be polite, till they’ve all gone home
Let your glances roam, look away from me
There’s a love-light that I mustn’t see
Till they’ve all gone home

When we’re alone once again, that’s when you’ll hold me, and then
We’ll share that last cigarette, and kisses you’ll never forget
Let’s not think, serve another drink

Till they’ve all gone home, I’m a busy wife
Let’s be patient, we’re married for life
And they’ll soon go home

When we’re alone once again, that’s when you’ll hold me, and then
We’ll share that last cigarette, and kisses you’ll never forget
Let’s not think, serve another drink

Till they’ve all gone home, I’m a busy wife
Let’s be patient, we’re married for life
And they’ll soon go home

I Am Constant


I Am Constant
Composer(s): Climax Blues Band
Performer(s): Climax Blues Band



I am constant
As the morning star
Shines out of the sky
And I am constant
Never knowing if it's
Truth that's in your eyes
As unchanging as the rivers flow
But heaven knows I've tried
Rearranging different music
But still the same inside
I am constant...

I am constant
As the morning star
Shines down from above
And I am truthful
But who knows the truth
When jokers fall in love
Dust and ashes take the best of us
But what goes on before
Superficial as humanity
When people go to war
I am constant...

I am you...yes I am...

Je Partirai


Je Partirai
Composer(s): Louis Amade; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Il faudra bien que ça arrive: je partirai
Il faudra bien que ça arrive: je partirai
Tu pleureras, j'en pleurerai
Tu haïras, je te plaindrai
Mal installé entre deux rives, je partirai, oui

Faudra pas que tu t'en étonnes, je partirai
Je ne veux déranger personne: je partirai
Tu sais, parfois il faut casser
Casser des cœurs et des idées
Les numéros de téléphone, faut les changer, oui

Il faut changer d'air les valises: je partirai
Il faut changer donc notre église, je partirai
Les biscottes et le train-train
Le thé au citron du matin
Les robinets se gargarisent, je partirai, oui

{Refrain:}
Mes chimères
Mes chimères
Sont au fond de mon désert
Prisonnières
Prisonnières
Des bouteilles à la mer

Couloir des hautes surveillances, je partirai
Vers les couloirs de mon enfance ou je courais
Un mot de plus, un mot de moins
Una bonnet d'âne et puis au coin
C'était le début des offenses, je partirai, oui

Je n'écris plus en lettres rondes: je partirai
Fini les chambres en rotonde: je partirai
Fini l'amour à la grimace
Le consommé en demi-tasse
Moi, il me faut des tours du monde, je partirai, oui

{Refrain}

Till There Was You


Till There Was You
Composer(s): Meredith Wilson
First performance/First release by: Barbara Cook & Robert Preston - 1957/1958
Covered by multiple other artists



There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Till there was you

I Am Australian


I Am Australian
Composer(s): Bruce Woodley; Dobe Newton
Performer(s): Judith Durham; Travis Collins



I came from the dreamtime from the dusty red soil plains
I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shore
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I'd been the first Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

I came upon the prison ship bowed down by iron chains
I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains
I'm a settler
I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
A convict then a free man I became Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the depression
I saw the good times come
I'm a bushy, I'm a battler
I am Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
I paint the ghostly gums
I am Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought and flooding rains
I am the rock, I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am Australian

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian
I am, you are, we are Australian

Je Pars Demain


Je Pars Demain
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Je pars demain chère maman
Je quitte la maison
Je pars demain chère maman
Mon cœur a ses raisons

Je dois quitter cet endroit où je n'étais qu'un enfant
Car il y a quelque part une fille qui m'attend
Pardonne, je l'aime, elle m'aime

Je pars demain chère maman
Je sais tu pleureras
Je pars demain chère maman
Un jour tu comprendras

Que par amour un garçon doit s'en aller de chez lui
Qu'il doit un jour tout laisser pour aller faire sa vie
Pardonne, je l'aime, elle m'aime

Je pars demain
Ne m'en veux pas
Je pars demain
Loin de chez toi

Je dois quitter cet endroit où je n'étais qu'un enfant
Car il y a quelque part une fille qui m'attend
Pardonne, je l'aime, elle m'aime

Je pars demain
Je pars demain
Ouh, je pars demain
Je pars demain...

Till Then


Till Then
Composer(s): Eddie Seiler - Sol Marcus - Guy Wood
First release by: The Mills Brothers - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists



Till then, my Darling, please wait for me
Till then, no matter when it may be
One day I know I'll be home again
Please wait till then

Our dreams will live though we are apart
Our love will always stay in our hearts
Till then, when all the world will be free
Please wait for me

Although there are oceans we must cross
And mountains that we must climb
I know every gain must have a loss
So pray that our loss is nothing but time

Till then, we'll dream of what there will be
Till then, we'll call on each memory
Till then, when I will hold you again
Please wait till then

I Am A Rock


I Am A Rock
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried

I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

I am a rock
I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

Performer(s): Dalida



La la la la la la la aie! aie! aie! aie! aie! aie!
La la la la la la aie! aie! aie! aie! aie!
La la la la la aie! aie! aie! aie!

Je pars avec la joie au cœur
Laissant ici tous mes soucis
Je pars vers le bonheur

Je pars bonsoir tous les amis
Voici l'été ensoleillé
Moi je pars vers la vie

Demain si rien ne m'arrête
Je vais me réveiller
Avec au fond de la tète
Des airs de chansons par millier
La la la la la

Je pars afin d'aller revoir
Le tout petit village
Qui cache mon espoir

Je pars
Je pars vers mon pays
Ou j'ai passé bien des années
A courir les prairies
Je pars vers le petit clocher
Qui tout content va comme avant
Sonner à la volé

Je sens au fond de mon être
L'amour monter en moi
Là bas à chaque fenêtre
Quelqu'un me dira
Te voila la la la la la la

Je pars le cœur gonflé de joie
Car pour doubler ma chance
Je pars mais je pars avec toi

Till The Walls Come Tumblin' Down


Till The Walls Come Tumblin' Down
Performer(s): J. Geils Band



Smashed a hole through my TV screen
Too much too soon if you know what I mean
I lost my mind by the count of ten
Nobody ever gonna put me back together again

You gotta knock it out rock it
You gotta sock it out rock it
You gotta rock rock rock it
'Til the walls come tumbln' down

Ladies flirtations I can't resist
I got to order you decease and desist
I just need some immoral support
And if your momma don't like it she can take me to court

You gotta knock it out rock it
You gotta sock it out rock it
You gotta rock rock rock it
'Til the walls come tumbln' down

Mash those potatoes don' t be shy
Feels so good don't you ask me why
The night is wild but I'm in control
You gotta brush your teeth with Rock 'n' Roll

You gotta knock it out rock it
You gotta sock it out rock it
You gotta rock rock rock it
'Til the walls come tumbln' down

I Am A Pilgrim


I Am A Pilgrim
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Merle Travis
and multiple other artists



I am a pilgrim, and a stranger - travelling through this wearisome land
But I've got a home - in that yonder city, Yes Lord!
In that house - not made with hands

I'll see my father, mother, sister and brother - when I leave this world of woe
And there I'll greet my Lord and Savior - in that land to which I go
Dear friends I'll greet - when I cross over, and I reach that distant shore
With songs of joy - we'll sing his praises, and there we'll dwell forever more

I'm going down - to the river of Jordan, just to ease my troubled soul
If I could touch - but the hem of his garment, I do believe I could be made whole

I am a pilgrim, and a stranger - travelling through this wearisome land
But I've got a home - in that yonder city, Yes Lord!
In that house - not made with hands

Je N'Oublierai Jamais (Johnny Hallyday)


Je N'Oublierai Jamais
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Vous pouvez tout me faire
M'écarteler la chair
Me vider de mon sang
M'arracher goutte à goutte
Les gouttes de ma vie

Me crucifier en terre
Rayer de ma mémoire
Les traces du passé

Je n'oublierai jamais
Je n'oublierai jamais

Son corps entre vos mains
Piétiné déchiré
Et moi là l'insoumis
Incapable et cloué

Aux mains de vos supplices
Aux mains du sacrifice
Perdu pour elle

Vous pouvez tout me dire
Que je suis déjà mort
Et que je vais pourrir
Desséché au soleil
Cadeau pour les vautours

Ouvrez là votre gueule
Vous crèverez un jour
Comme crèvent les lâches

Je n'oublierai jamais
Je n'oublierai jamais

Que c'était grâce à elle
Que je vivais ma vie
Et que je n'aimais qu'elle
Et qu'elle m'avait dit

Qu'elle n'aimait que moi
Qu'elle se battrait pour moi
Et qu'elle est morte

Vous pouvez tout changer
De pays de prison
De visage et de nom
De croyance et de dieu
Et même changer de peau

Un ami quelque part
Qui aura ma mémoire
Vous trouvera un jour

Je n'oublierai jamais
Je n'oublierai jamais
Jamais

'Til The Storm Passes By


'Til The Storm Passes By
Composer(s): Mosie Lister
Performer(s): Bill & Gloria Gaither
and multiple other artists



In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face
While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry
Keep me safe till the storm passes by

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand
Keep me safe till the storm passes by

Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try
For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by"
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand
Keep me safe till the storm passes by

When the long night has ended and the storms come no more
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore
In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand
Keep me safe till the storm passes by
