Femmes ... Je Vous Aime
Femmes ... Je Vous Aime
Composer(s): Jean-Loup Dabadie; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Quelquefois
Si douces
Quand la vie me touche
Comme nous tous
Alors si douces...
Quelquefois
Si dures
Que chaque blessure
Longtemps me dure
Longtemps me dure...
Femmes...Je vous aime
Femmes...Je vous aime
Je n'en connais pas de faciles
Je n'en connais que de fragiles
Et difficiles
Oui...difficiles
Quelquefois
Si drôles
Sur un coin d'épaule
Oh oui...Si drôles
Regard qui frôle...
Quelquefois
Si seules
Parfois ell's le veulent
Oui mais...Si seules
Oui mais si seules...
Femmes...Je vous aime
Femmes...Je vous aime
Vous êt's ma mère, je vous ressemble
Et tout ensemble mon enfant
Mon impatience
Et ma souffrance...
Femmes...Je vous aime
Femmes...Je vous aime
Si parfois ces mots se déchirent
C'est que je n'ose pas vous dire
Je vous désire
Ou même pire
O...Femmes...

The Boat That I Row
The Boat That I Row
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
and multiple other artists
I don't have a lot but with me that's fine
Whatever I got, well, I know it's mine
I don't go around with the local crowd
I don't dig what's in so I guess I'm out
I'm sayin' these things so you know me, baby
So you understand what I'm all about
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get me there soon
But I got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that I row is big enough for two
That's me and you
There ain't a man in life tell me what to say
I choose my own side and I like it that way
I don't worry about the thinkgs that I'm not
There's only one thing that I want I ain't got
You know that I'm talking about you baby
So you better know and come along

Candy's Going Bad
Candy's Going Bad
Composer(s): Barry A. Hay - George J. Kooymans
First release by: Golden Earring - 1973
Candy took the pearls, got ahead of the girls
Got on top and found the secret entrance
Are you satisfied?
Through neon doors, 'cross killing floors
She got sucked into a champagne desert
Are you satisfied?
Daddy said: I'll break your bones
If you come home dressed in Peacock clothes
Mother said: quit the show
She didn't want the neighbours to know
Candy had to quit the show
Well, Candy didn't care, when she started her affair
With the studs and the mares of the night
Are you satisfied?
Teddy knows the rule, of the underground school
He's got Candy wrapped 'round his finger
Are you satisfied?
Daddy said: I'll break your bones
If you don't get your tricks off the phone
Mother said: quit the show
She didn't want the neighbours to know
Candy's going bad - got a room to let
Candy's going bad - got a pimp named Ted
Candy's going bad - Long Green's where it's at
Candy's going bad - she got stars in her head
Candy took the pearls, got ahead of the girls
Got on top and found the secret entrance
Are you satisfied?
Daddy said: I'll break your bones
If you come home dressed in Peacock clothes
Mother said: quit the show
I don't want the neighbours to know
Candy's going bad - got a room to let
Candy's going bad - got a pimp named Ted
Candy's going bad - Long Green's where it's at
Candy's going bad - she got stars in her head
Candy's going bad - got a room to let
Candy's going bad - she got stars in her head

Femme Objet
Femme Objet
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Quand je te vois passer, ma belle indépendante
Au son de la musique qui se joue des bas-fonds
Suspendant ta démarche voluptueuse et lente
Pour promener l'ennui de ton regard profond
Je t'attends comme un fauve, ma tigresse d'alcôve
Dans le jeu de miroirs de tes sous-entendus
Je n'ai que la mémoire d'un triangle entrevu
Attention! La passion
Se nourrit d'obsessions
N'oublie pas l'obsession
N'admet que l'apparence
Ton imagination
Carbure à des pulsions
Dont jamais la raison
Ne connaît l'existence
Je sais qu'il est des yeux des plus mélancoliques
Qui ne recèlent point de secrets sulfureux
Des écrins sans diamants, des rythmes sans musique
Plus vides et plus profonds que l'absence de feu
Je t'attends comme un fauve, ma tigresse d'alcôve
Dans le jeu de miroirs d'un triangle entrevu
Je n'ai que la mémoire de tes sous-entendus
Attention ! La passion
Se nourrit d'obsessions
N'oublie pas l'obsession
N'admet que l'apparence
Ton imagination
Carbure à des pulsions
Dont jamais la raison
Ne connaît l'existence
Quand je te vois danser, magnifique indolente
Les hanches insolentes et la crinière mouillée
Je me dis qu'il suffit que tu sois l'apparence
Pour faire monter en moi quelques grandes marées
Qu'importe ton absence et ton indifférence
Tu n'es qu'un simulacre et j'adore ta beauté

The Boa Constrictor Ate My Wife Last Night
The Boa Constrictor Ate My Wife Last Night
Simon Stokes & The Black Whip Thrill Band
This week at the pet store I bought a snake
I brought him home with me and I called him Jake
Last night I woke up from an awful dream
The last thing that I heard was my wife scream
Wow the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
The Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Ate my wife and ate her sister
I love that Boa Constrictor
Well the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
He slithered from the house out to the street
And then he spied a cop upon his beat
And I have just one question
Did Jake get indigestion
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate the heat last night
Wow the Boa Constrictor ate the heat last night
The Boa Constrictor ate the heat last night
And I have just one question
Did Jake get indigestion
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate the heat last night
Take it away Thrill Band
Oh Jake returned to me late tonight
And once again I woke up in a fright
Cuz he's looking strange at me
And I can tell that he's hungry
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Wow the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
The Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Ate my wife and ate her sister
I love that Boa Constrictor
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
The Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
The Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Ate my wife and ate her sister
I love that Boa Constrictor
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Alright

Candy Store Blues
Candy Store Blues
Composer(s): Eddie Beal - Nick Castle - Herb Jefferies
Performer(s): Toni Harper; Maria Muldaur
Last night I dreamt that I owned a candy store
Last night I dreamt that I owned a candy store
Woke up this mornin' just like the day before
Got five pennies and I don't know what to do
Got five pennies and I don't know what to do
I need another nickel for the bubblegum I chew
There's a little wagon passin'
Every afternoon at four
And the bells they start to ringin'
Every time they pass my door
Yes, I love him
I love that good, good humour man
He's got lots of frozen custard
That's how this love began
He said, "Hey, little baby
If you didn't get enough
Don't you worry 'bout no money
You can put it on the cuff"
Yes, I love him
I love that good, good humour man
He's got lots of tutti-frutti
I could eat it by the can

Femme Sous Influence
Femme Sous Influence
Composer(s): J.M. Moreau; R. Musumarra
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
D'un mot d'un regard
Tu me renverses et changes l'histoire
Tu planes sur ma vie
Immobile
Comme un aigle sur le Nil
Un jour de chaleur
Tu as planté ta force et ton cœur
Sur ma terre d'argile
Trop fragile
Comme un drapeau sur une île
{Refrain:}
Les yeux fermés je t'aime à l'avance
Quand tu es loin j't'écoute à distance
Je suis toujours et sans défaillance
Une femme sous influence
Et je te suis dans tes rêves immenses
Même dans le noir je te fais confiance
Je suis au fil de ton existence
Une femme sous influence
Sous le signe de toi
Je suis née un matin dans tes bras
Et j'ai vu le jour
Pour toujours sous influence d'amour
Ascendance heureuse
Pour toi je nage en eaux dangereuses
Même quand tu as tort
Je t'aime encore
Comme un volcan dans mon corps
{au Refrain}
Tu traces les couleurs
Les lignes de mon bonheur
Entre tes mains
Court mon destin
Sans fin
{au Refrain}

The Blues Is All I Ever Had
The Blues Is All I Ever Had
Composer(s): Bobby Troup
Performer(s): Julie London
Some folks always seem to find the good things
Other folks get mixed up with the bad
Don't ask me what I know about the good things
The blues is all I ever had
To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces
For those lucky few, I'm awful glad
My world's been a string of second places
The blues is all I ever had
When I first met him, I thought that maybe
He could change this lonely life I led
When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby"
Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said
Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now
Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad
Since he's gone, what is there left to try now?
The blues is all I ever had

Candy Says
Candy Says
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Candy says I've come to hate my body
and all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
what others so discretely talk about
Candy says I hate the quiet places
that cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
that cause endless revisions in my mind
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

Femme Fatale
Femme Fatale
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground;
and various other artists
Here she comes, you better watch your step
She’s going to break your heart in two, it’s true
It’s not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown
’cause everybody knows (she’s a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she’s a femme fatale)
She’s just a little tease (she’s a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
You’re written in her book
You’re number 37, have a look
She’s going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she’s from the street
Before you start, you’re already beat
She’s gonna play you for a fool, yes it’s true
’cause everybody knows (she’s a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she’s a femme fatale)
She’s just a little tease (she’s a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

The Blues Don't Bother Me
The Blues Don't Bother Me
Performer(s): The Blues Brothers Band
If you're wonderin'
What's all the noise
I'm in the backroom
With the girls and boys
Were' discussing the blues
And they don't seem to see
The blues is all I play
The blues don't bother me
When I was a little boy
Sittin' on my papa's knee
I couldn't a been no older than two or three
He said I am a blues man
You're gonna take after me
After me
The blues is my companion
The blues don't bother me
They don't bother me
No they don't
When I go to bed at night
I'll throw on a record or two
If I didn't have these blues
I wouldn't know what to do
I need them to soothe me
To ease my misery
The blues is my companion
They don't bother me
They don't bother me
The blues don't bother me
They don't bother me
keeps me company
I got the blues
Relieves my misery
Keeps me company
The blues don't bother me
I got the blues

Hand me my old guitar
Pass the whiskey round
Want you to tell everybody you meet

Look out
Look out
The Candyman
Here he come
and he's gone again
Pretty lady ain't
got no friend
till the Candyman

Femme F.M.
Femme F.M.
Composer(s): Claude Moine; M. Gaucher
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Je bois jusqu'à l'aube les moindres mots
D'un oiseau de nuit "Star Radio"
Qui m'emmène goûter sur ses ondes F.M.
Son "sirop" micro
Solitaire, j'attends en solo
Un sommeil noyé dans peu d'eau
Au réveil, sa voix n'est plus qu'un écho
J'éteins la radio
J'aime une femme F.M., déesse stéréo
J'aime une femme F.M., disc-jockey de nuit
Star radio, star radio
Parfois, j'suis en planque, j'la surveille
Je l'attends, elle sort du studio
Elle ignore que je suis là, je l'observe
Vivre dans mon rétro
Elle court vers un homme, ça m'énerve
Je démarre, car pour moi c'est trop
Un voyeur, c'est tout c'que j'suis bon à faire
J'allume la radio
J'aime une femme F.M., déesse stéréo
J'aime une femme F.M., disc-jockey de nuit
Star radio, star radio
J'aime une femme F.M., déesse stéréo
J'aime une femme F.M., disc-jockey de nuit
Star radio, star radio

The Bluebells Of Scotland
The Bluebells Of Scotland
(Traditional)
Oh where, tell me where is your highland laddie gone?
Oh where, tell me where is your highland laddie gone?
He's gone with streaming banners where noble deeds are done
And it's oh! in my heart I wish him safe at home
Oh where, tell me where did your highland laddie dwell?
Oh where, tell me where did your highland laddie dwell?
He dwelt in bonnie Scotland where bloom the sweet bluebells
And it's oh! in my heart I rue my laddie well
Oh what, tell me what if your highland lad be slain?
Oh what, tell me what if your highland lad be slain?
Oh no, true love will be his guide and bring him safe again
For it's oh! my heart would break if my highland lad were slain

The Blue Velvet Band
The Blue Velvet Band
Composer(s): Hank Snow
Performer(s): Hank Snow
If you listen a story I'll tell you
Of a girl who once lived in this land
A girl who was once my sweetheart
She was know as The Blue Velvet Band
On her cheeks was the first flush of nature
Her beauty, it seemed to expand
Her hair hung down in long tresses
Tied back with a blue velvet band
I can still see those tears as we parted
Of my heart broken Blue Velvet Band
As I left I told her I'd never
Come back to my old home again
Five years on the wide open spaces
Was all that my poor heart could stand
every night as I lay on my pillow
I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band
Then one night as I lay down dreaming
Of home and poor mother and dad
Like a flash by my bedside was standing
The form of my Blue Velvet Band
I started next day for my darling
Just to go back and make her my bride
But as I reached the old country depot
They told my my sweet heart has died
They laid her to rest in the churchyard
Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land
On her finger the ring I had bought her
On her head was a blue velvet band
