Un Monde Sans Amour
Un Monde Sans Amour
((Adapted from: A World Without Love (by Peter & Gordon) - 1964))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Hubert Ithier - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila - 1964
Bien des gens m'ont dit
La vie n'est pas jolie
La douceur, le bonheur
N'ont plus cours ici
Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
Dans un monde sans amour
Oui, j'entends souvent
Chanter le clair printemps
Au réveil, le soleil
Les oiseaux sont là
Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
Dans un monde sans amour
A la pluie, à l'arc-en-ciel
A l'enfant qui s'émerveille
A ces roses ouvertes au ciel
Mon coeur dit "Merci!
Vous donnez la vie!"
Oui, quelqu'un, là-haut
Nous fait tous ces cadeaux
Si les fous, les jaloux
Ne voient rien du tout
Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
Dans un monde sans amour
Il est vrai que dans tes yeux
J'ai trouvé ce que je veux,
Au bonheur fait pour nous deux
Mon coeur dit "Merci
De m'avoir choisie"
Oui, j'entends souvent
Chanter le clair printemps
Avec toi, le soleil
Les oiseaux sont là
Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
Dans un monde sans amour

A World Without Heroes
A World Without Heroes
Composer(s): Bob Ezrin - Paul Stanley - Gene Simmons - Lou Reed
First release by: Kiss - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
A world without heroes
Is like a world without Sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
It's like a time, without a place
A pointless thing, devoid of grace
Where you don't know what your after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
A world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don't know what your after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
Where you don't know what your after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
You don't know, you don't know
(repeat three times)

Way Down (John Prine)
Way Down
Performer(s): John Prine
Chorus:
Way down
Way down it must be
I can't stop this misery
It must be way down
Spring is just a smile away
Laughing at a summer day
Turn around Look at fall
Winter, hear my lonely call
Way down ...
The air is thin and the sky is fat
I'm gonna buy me a brand new hat
Wear it out and go insane
Christ, I hope it never rains
Way down ...
Thought I saw a neon sign
Flash my name Wiwh the time
Probably didn't see a thing
Crazy dreams and a broken wing
Way down ...
How ya' gonna get sunshine
Peeking thru Venetian blinds
Don't you know all that fear
Begins and ends the same place
Here
Way down ...

A World Of Our Own
A World Of Our Own
Composer(s): Tom Springfield
Performer(s): The Seekers
Close the door, light the light, we're stayin' home tonight
Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights
Let them all fade away, just leave us alone
And we'll live in a world of our own
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
Oh my love, oh my love, I've cried for you so much
Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch
Now your lips can't evade the heartache I've known
Come with me to a world of our own
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own

Way Down (Elvis Presley)
Way Down
Composer(s): Martine Layng Jr.
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Babe, you're getting closer
The lights are goin' dim
The sound of your breathin'
Has made the mood I'm in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I've never been before
Ooh, and I can feel it, (feel it)
Feel it, (feel it)
Feel it, (feel it)
Feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down
Ooh, my head is spinnin'
You got me in your spell,
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can't describe
Ooh, and I can feel it, (feel it)
Feel it, (feel it)
Feel it, (feel it)
Feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down
Hold me again,
Tight as you can
I need you so,
Baby, let's go
Way down where it feels so good
Way down where I hoped it would
Way down where I never could
Way down, down, way, way on down
(Way on downnnnnnn)

A World I Never Made
A World I Never Made
Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mac Rebennack
Performer(s): B.B. King
and multiple other artists
The late show is over
And the city is fast asleep
And I'm lost in a world
That's just too cold and deep
I've turned so many ways
I'm spinning like a top
I wish that I could get off
Or get this world to stop
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made
I'm always chasing dragons
With a sword that's made of tin
So I know in my soul
There's no way I can win
I tried, oh I tried
But there's no place, no place to go
There's no one here who knows me
And no one here I know
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made

Way Back Home
Composer(s): Johnny Bristol; Wilton Felder; Gladys Knight
Performer(s): Junior Walker & The All-Stars
Oh, there's good 'n bad things
About the South, boy
Oh, and some leave a bitter taste
In my mouth, now
Yeah!
Like the black man livin' across the track
White man were on the other side
Holdin' him back
Way back home, now
Oh, but we won't talk about that
'Cause it's understood
Ev'rybody sees the bad
But what about the good?
Ooh, I'd give anything
Just to smell that scent
Of honeysuckle growin'
On a backyard fence
Way back home, now
'Oow!'
'Oh heaven scent, ya'all!'
(Way back home)
Yeah, way back home
(Way back home)
Thinkin' on back home
I'd love to smell the wetness
Of grass and trees
And see ground kissed
By honey bees
Like way back home, now
Oh, but childhood days
Are dead 'n gone
Well, but the memories
Still linger on
Oh, have you ever gone swimmin'
In a muddy creek
With nothin' on your body
From head to feet?
Way back home, yeah
How you play for the game
Like hide an seek
Yeah!
And snk through the weeds
Overhear the streams
Well, I know some kids
Still play those games
But when they play
It just ain't the same
Like way back home
'Sad to sing it, ya'all!'
Yeah!
Way back home, way back home
(Way back home)
Way back
Oh, I really miss those things
That have faded away
I remember them
Like it was yesterday
Now, way back home
(Way back ho-ome)
(Way back ho-ome)
Doo-doo, do-do
Doo-doo, do-ooo-do
(Way back ho-ome)
(Way back ho-ome)

A World Full Of Strangers
A World Full Of Strangers
Composer(s): Will Jennings - Joe Sample
Performer(s): B.B. King
You and me don't see eye to eye
On every little thing
We've missed a lot of sunshine
And caught a lot of rain
If you want to leave I can't make you stay
But there is something I have to say
No matter how high you get
Or how low you go
There's one thing darling
You ought to know
There's a world full of strangers out there
A world full of strangers
Beware
There's a world full of strangers out there
And if it gets too strange
Just come on home
Restless hearts, looking for a love
Are waiting in the street
They're all prepared to give you
The bitter with the sweet
If you wake someday and you reach for me
Well you know, this is where I'll be
No matter how high you get
Or how low you go
There's one thing darling
You ought to know
There's a world full of strangers out there
A world full of strangers
Beware
There's a world full of strangers out there
And if it gets too strange
Just come on home

Waves of the Navy
There's a ship sailing down the bay
And she won't slip into port again

And for every hero brave
Who will find ashore, his man-sized chore
Was done by a Navy wave

A Word Or Two To Mary
A Word Or Two To Mary
Performer(s): Charley Pride
A word or two to Mary, please write a letter for me
That's what my buddy said to me today
I couldn't keep from cryin', sad eyes are looking at me
He said, I'll tell you what I wanted to say
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there's no use denyin', I won't be comin' home
Just a word or two to you before I go
Down on my knees beside him, I begged my buddy to live
I told the Lord to please take me instead
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give
And just these words were all your husband said
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there's no use denyin', I won't be coming back home
Just a word or two to you before I go
A word or two to Mary, I must add some of my own
He was the truest friend I ever had
I'll keep writing letters to her to help the children along
Tell them in a way that it's from their Dad
He didn't mind dyin', he just hated to leave you alone
And he wished that he could see his children grow
I'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me to
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow

Wave (Portuguese Version)
Wave
Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim
Performer(s): Tom Jobin
Vou te contar
Os olhos já não podem ver
Coisas que só o coração pode entender
Fundamental é mesmo o amor
É impossivel ser feliz sozinho
O resto é mar
É tudo que não sei contar
São coisas lindas
Que eu tenho pra te dar
Fundamental é mesmo o amor
É impossivel ser feliz sozinho
Da primeira vez era a cidade
Da segunda o cais e a eternidade
Agora eu já sei
Da onda que se ergueu no mar
E das estrelas que esquecemos de contar
O amor se deixa surpreender
Enquanto a noite vem nos envolver

A Word In Spanish
A Word In Spanish
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
I don't know why
I just know I do
I just can't explain
In this language that I use
Something leaves me speechless
Each time that you approach
Each time you glide right through me
As if I was a ghost
If I only could tell you
If you only would listen
I've got a line or two to use on you
I've got a romance we could christen
And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand
But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears
A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish
If you can't comprehend
Read it in my eyes
If you don't understand it's love
In a thin disguise
And what it takes to move you
Each time that you resist
Is more than just a pretty face
To prove that I exist
When manners make no difference
And my gifts all lay undone
I trade my accent in on chance
And fall back on a foreign tongue

Wave (English Version)
Wave
Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
So close your eyes
For that's a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
You can't deny don't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was halfpast three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch the wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was halfpast three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

Performer(s): Zucchero
Lo sai fratello siamo nella merda
a proposito come ti va?
E quei bambini giocano allá guerra
dov’é questo wonderful world?
Non ho piú voglia di avere voglia
tutto questo é troppo anzi di piú
e tu che aspetti sempre sulla soglia
dov’é questo wonderful world?
Vado via domani
e non torno piú
prima che io salti
faccio un salto nell blu:
Sali, anima in depression
come in, come sei messo?
Ci sono giorni dove sono in vena
hey baby propio come mi vuoi
In altri striscio tiro la catena
dov’é questo wonderful world?
E mi scappa da vivere
e non ci sto piú ma prima
che io salti faccio un salto nel blu
Un grande salto nel blu!
Sali, anima in depression
come in, senti che vibration
sali, anima in depression
sulle ali sentirai che vibration
oh no no no un grande salto nel blu
oh no no no l’ultimo salto nel blu

Accept the gift of circumstance
No more careful stepping plans
Everything holds out its hand
Gonna hold you up and love you
Gonna hold you up and love you
Gonna hold you up and love you

Creation as metaphor for love
Shed resistance like a worn-out glove
Gonna hold you up and love you
Gonna hold you up and love you
Gonna hold you up and love you

Got no power, got no fear
Anyone can do it, can't you hear
River crying loud and clear
Gonna hold you up and love you
Gonna hold you up and love you
Gonna hold you up and love you

Waters Of March

Composer(s): Antônio Carlos Jobim
Performer(s): Antônio Carlos Jobim - 1972

Versions In Other Languages:

A stick, a stone
It's the end of the road
It's the rest of a stump
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass
It is life, it's the sun
It is night, it is death
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms
A fox in the brush
A knot in the wood
The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind
A cliff, a fall
A scratch, a lump
It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free
It's the end of the slope
It's a beam, it's a void
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the river bank talks
of the waters of March
It's the end of the strain
The joy in your heart
The foot, the ground
The flesh and the bone
The beat of the road
A slingshot's stone
A fish, a flash
A silvery glow
A fight, a bet
The range of a bow
The bed of the well
The end of the line
The dismay in the face
It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike
A point, a nail
A drip, a drop
The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light
The shot of a gun
in the dead of the night
A mile, a must
A thrust, a bump
It's a girl, it's a rhyme
It's a cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house
The body in bed
And the car that got stuck
It's the mud, it's the mud
Afloat, adrift
A flight, a wing
A hawk, a quail
The promise of spring
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart
A stick, a stone
It's the end of the road
It's the rest of a stump
It's a little alone
A snake, a stick
It is John, it is Joe
It's a thorn in your hand
and a cut in your toe
A point, a grain
A bee, a bite
A blink, a buzzard
A sudden stroke of night
A pin, a needle
A sting, a pain
A snail, a riddle
A wasp, a stain
A pass in the mountains
A horse and a mule
In the distance the shelves
rode three shadows of blue
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March
It's the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart
A stick, a stone
The end of the road
The rest of a stump
A lonesome road
A sliver of glass
A life, the sun
A knife, a death
The end of the run
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March
It's the end of all strain
It's the joy in your heart

A Wonderful Day In A One Day World
A Wonderful Day In A One Day World
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel
A Wonderful Day In A One Day World
Saturday is shopping day and I drive my car but there's no place to park it
No respect for supermen in the supermarket
I guess there must be trouble but I've not been alerted
Looking round the store, it was all deserted
And I'm stranded here with my empty basket
So full of questions but nowhere to ask it
By the one way out, strange voice shouts
"Don't let that good man out!"
"Have a wonderful day in our one-way world
One way, one day
Have a wonderful day in our one-way world
One way, one day
One-way man, one-way mind, get along with mankind"
There's an old man on the floor so I summon my charm
I say, "Hey scumbag, has there been an alarm?"
He says "Yeah, I been selling off eternal youth
They all got afraid, 'cos I'm the living proof
My name is Einstein, do you know time is a curve?"
I said, "Stop, old man! You've got a nerve
'cos there's only one rule that I observe
Time is money, and money I serve"
By the one way out, strange voice shouts
"Don't let that good man out!"
"Have a wonderful day in our one-way world
One way, one day
Have a wonderful day in our one-way world
One way, one day
One-way man, one-way mind, get along with mankind"
