Clouds And Rain


Clouds And Rain
Composer(s): Ian Gillan; Roger Glover
Performer(s): Ian Gillan & Roger Glover



The time is always now
the call is always loud
without a movement a word, without a sound
love comes crashing in again
brings along the clouds and rain

You've got to take a chance you haven't got a choice
somewhere in the rain you hear a distant voice
love has to come to stake its claim it's
when you reach the clouds and rain

If I close my eyes I can picture you
this is the place I get the clearest view
beyond the happiness and pain
this place they call the clouds and rain

First you become a lover then you become a friend
and then you start to wonder will it ever end
I'd like to ask you just the same
without feeling any shame
did you touch the clouds and rain

I'd like to ask you just the same
without feeling any shame
did you touch the clouds and rain

Reviens, Je T'Aime


Reviens, Je T'Aime
English Title: Midnight
Composer(s): Bouwens; Claude Carrère; Ibach
Performer(s): Sheila



En ce temps là nous n'avions pas grand-chose
Mais nous aimions ici nous retrouver
Ce soir sans toi je me sens l'âme triste
Ta place est vide et le monde a changé

{Refrain:}
Reviens, je t'aime
Tu ne peux pas me laisser toute seule
Tu ne peux pas me laisser souffrir comme ça
Reviens, je t'aime
Tu ne peux pas d'un seul coup briser tout
Après tant de jours et d'amour entre nous
la la la ........

Tu m'as quitté comme un homme en colère
Et par fierté je t'ai laissé partir
Mais je voudrais du fond de ma détresse
Trouver les mots pour te faire revenir
{au Refrain, 2x}

Reviens, je t'aime
Reviens, je t'aime

The Sailor's Polka


The Sailor's Polka
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David
Performer(s): Dean Martin



Come on and play the sailors' polka
Make way for Navy blue
Oh, how the girls all love to polka
With a sailor who's tried and true

Where there is music and there's moonlight
The Navy knows what to do
So, come on and play the sailors' polka
Make way for Navy blue

(Oh, the band will start in playin')
(When the fleet comes sailin' in)
(There'll be hip, hip, hip, hoorayin')
(And the good times will begin)

There'll be gobs and gobs of misses
Who'll be waitin' on the shore
With gobs and gobs of kisses
(Bass Singer: For the gobs that they adore)

(Long before they drop anchor)
(You will hear the music start)
(Ev'ry pretty girl will hanker)
(To win a sailor's heart)

Yeah, the band will start in playin'
And the dancing will begin
When the fleet comes sailin' in

Duet With Dean & Chorus:
Come on and play the sailors' polka
(Oh, the band will start in playin' when the fleet comes sailing in)
Make way for Navy blue
(There'll be hip, hip, hip, hoorayin' and the good times will begin)
Oh, how the girls all love to polka
(There'll be gobs and gobs of misses who'll be waitin' on the shore)
With a sailor who's tried and true.
(With gobs and gobs of kisses for the gobs that they adore)
Where there is music and there's moonlight
(Long before they drop anchor you will hear the music start)
The Navy knows what to do
(Ev'ry pretty girl will hanker to win a sailor's heart)
So, come on and play the sailors' polka
(Yeah, the band will start in playin' and they'll dance the whole
night through)
So make way for Navy blue (BASS: Make way for Na- )
Submerge! Submerge! (Bass: -vy)
Scrape the bottom! (Bass: Blue)

Clouds (That Pass In The Night)


Clouds (That Pass In The Night)
Composer(s): Lee David



When the world is sleeping, and the night is still
And the moon is creeping slowly above the hill
Clouds float by and kiss her
O! What a wond'rous thrill!
When the clouds are passing in the night, I dream of you
When the clouds enveil the silv'ry light I dream of you
But the clouds that pass me in the day
Hide the sunshine, make the skies look gray
How I wish and long and wait till they roll by, roll by
Oft when nights are lonely and I walk the road
Thinking of you only
Sweet thoughts of love bestowed
Ah! my moon is pris'ner
By fleeting clouds she's towed
When the clouds are passing in the night, I dream of you
When the clouds enveil the silv'ry light I dream of you
But the clouds that pass me in the day
Hide the sunshine, make the skies look gray
How I wish and long and wait till they roll by, roll by
Clouds

Reviens Donc Chez Nous


Reviens Donc Chez Nous
Danish & English Titles: Kom Hjem Til Mig Igen; Bring It On Home To Me
Composer(s): Georges Aber; Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Si tu avais des regrets
Qui sait, un jour, de m'avoir quitté
Oh ! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
Reviens donc chez nous, oh oui

Bien sûr, j'ai ris
Mais je sais
Je sais le mal que ton départ m'a fait
Oh! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
Ah, reviens donc chez nous

Je le sais bien, j'étais fou
La vie sans toi
Ce n'est plus rien du tout
Oh! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
Reviens donc chez nous

Il n'y a rien, oh non, d'assez beau
À te donner
Si tu reviens bientôt
Oh! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
Reviens donc chez nous

Si tu avais des regrets
Qui sait, un jour, de m'avoir quitté
Oh! Reviens-moi avec ton amour
Reviens donc chez nous

Allez reviens!

The Sailor's Hornpipe


The Sailor's Hornpipe
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall
Performer(s): Vivian Stanshall



The hallway

From outside, an ordinary house
A great house, true - four hundred and eighty three rooms
each one with its own marble wash basin and douche, bidet as it may
But inside, and the positions are reversed
A human failing, some say a disease
but a disease that Sir Francis Dashwood knew, and knew it well

Upstairs, inside and a revelation
It's a discotheque
No, no, uh... there are paintings, real
and look here - a rare seventeenth century masterpiece
and if I can scrape a little of it off
beneath I can find hidden a fourteenth century underpiece

Made entirely of tiny pieces of eggshells
this lurid work has caused controversy in the world of embroidery and anthropologicky
No, I'll say it again, anthropolology
Umm... no quite possibly make an anthropol, no, uh, I mean an apolog... ph...
It has enthralled distinguished professors
and in layman's language is "blinking well baffling"

But to be more obtusely, "buggered if I know"
Yes, "buggered if I know"
And that's all we've gleaned so far from experts in fourteenth century painting
renaissance, greengrocers, and recently revived members of the public
Buggered if I know

Cloud Nine


Cloud Nine
Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman J. Whitfield
Originally performed by: The Temptations
Covered by various other artists



Childhood part of my life it wasn't very pretty
You see I was born and raised in the slums of the city
It was a one-room shack that slept
Ten other children besides me
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep
It was hard times needed something
To ease my troubled mind
Listen my father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected momma and treated us like dirt
I left home seeking a job that I never did find
Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud 9
I'm doing fine up here on cloud 9
Listen one more time I'm doing fine up here on cloud 9

Folks down there tell me
They say give yourself a chance, son
Don't let life pass you by
But the world of reality is a rat race
Where only the strongest survive
It's a dog eat dog world
And that ain't no lie
Listen it ain't even safe no more
To walk the streets at night

I'm doing fine on cloud 9
Let me tell you about cloud 9
Cloud 9, you can be what you wanna be
You ain't got no responsibility
And every man, every man is free
And you're a million miles from reality
I wanna say I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Up here on cloud 9
I'm riding high on cloud 9
You're as free as a bird in flight
There's no difference between day and night
It's a world of love and harmony
You're a million miles from reality, cloud 9

Rêver


Rêver
Composer(s): René Rouzaud;
Rachel Thoreau; Guy Luypaerts
Performer(s): Lucienne Boyer



{Refrain:}
Rêver de toi, la nuit, le jour
Rêver toujours, au fil des heures
Jeter au ciel des mots d'amour
Crier ma peine au vent qui pleure
Imaginer qu'une présence
Se penche sur mon chagrin
Que tout recommence
Comme une romance
Flaner tout seul sur les chemins où nous allions jadis ensemble
Croire un instant que c'est ta main qui prend ma main, ma main qui tremble
Ecouter les harpes du temps qui fuit
Voir comme une écharpe, tomber la nuit
Rêver toujours
Rêver de toi
Rêver d'amour

Ainsi rien qu'en fermant les yeux
Je fais chanter quand je le veux
Mes souvenirs comme un lointain prélude
Et le rappel des jours anciens
Me fait oublier le chagrin
De te savoir si loin

{Refrain}

The Sailor With The Navy Blue Eyes


The Sailor With The Navy Blue Eyes
Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Victor Mizzy - Irv Taylor
Performer(s): Harry Roy & His Band; Spike Jones



Who’s got girls in every port
Hanging around like flies
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
The sailor with the navy blue eyes

Who’s the guy they love to buy
Dozens of socks and ties
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
The sailor with the navy blue eyes

When the boat comes home after crossing the foam
He’s still at sea
Thinking, wond’ring who’s he gonna take a-rowing on the lake

Who’s the boy who’s full of joy
Waving the most goodbyes
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
The sailor with the navy blue eyes

When the boat comes home after crossing the foam
And he’s still at sea
He’ll start a-wond’ring, worrying, all of a flurrying
Who’s he gonna take rowing on the lake

Now who’s the boy who’s full of joy
Waving the most goodbyes
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
The sailor with the navy blue eyes

Cloud Lucky Seven


Cloud Lucky Seven
Composer(s): Charles Tobias; Peter DeRose
Performer(s): Guy Mitchell;
Ambrose; Mitch Miller



When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love
You're walkin' on cloud lucky seven
Hah, seven is the cloud nearest heaven
When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love

You never know, you never know, you never know
There's no way that you can detect it
It can happen when you least expect it
You never know, you never know, you never know

When you meet someone new
You're on clouds one and two
With someone who
makes you feel like singing
As you see more and more
of the one you adore
You're on clouds three and four
And bell are ringing
When you reach five and six
Then your heart bumps and kicks
There's one more cloud to go

When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love
You're walkin' on cloud lucky seven
Hah, seven is the cloud nearest heaven
When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love
Love, love
When you're in love

When you meet someone new
You're on clouds one and two
With someone who
makes you feel like singing
As you see more and more
of the one you adore
You're on clouds three and four
And bell are ringing
When you reach five and six
Then your heart bumps and kicks
There's one more cloud to go

When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love
You're walkin' on cloud lucky seven
Wow, seven is the cloud nearest heaven
When you're in love, when you're in love, when you're in love
Love, love
When you're in love

Reveline


Reveline
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Pour un bouquet de lilas
Qu'il t'offrit ce jour-là
Reveline
Tu as rêvé d'un jardin
Fleurissant tes matins
Reveline
Pour un petit brin de cour
Tu as rêvé d'amour
Reveline
Comme si un arc-en-ciel
Suffit pour que le ciel
S'illumine

Reviens sur terre
Ma douce amie
La vie n'est guère
Que la vie

Avec un soleil pâlot
Qui se posait sur l'eau
Reveline
Tu as rêvé que l'été
Durait l'éternité
Reveline
Une balade en bateau
Jusqu'au pont de Puteaux
Reveline
T'a fait rêver de croisière
Mexico, le cap Vert
L'Argentine

Reviens sur terre
Ma douce amie
La vie n'est guère
Que la vie

Lorsque mon cœur s'assombrit
Et que je broie du gris
Reveline
Je voudrais avoir tes yeux
Pour ne voir que du bleu
Reveline
Toi, qui changes l'eau en vin
Toi qui rêves sans fin
Reveline
Montre-moi comment tu fais
Apprends-moi à rêver
Reveline

Ne change guère
Ma douce amie
La vie n'est guère
Que la vie

Do It Again A Little Bit Slower


Do It Again A Little Bit Slower
Performer(s): Jon & Robin & The In Crowd



Kiss me (kiss me), I love the way that you kiss me (kiss me, ooo)
There's only one thing wrong with the way you kiss me (kiss me, yeah)
Now your kisses are sweeter than sugar & plenty strong enough
But the bad part is you don't do it slow enough, oh

Do it again just a little bit slower
Do it again just a little bit slower
I just can't stand it when it's over
Do it again just a little bit slower

Hold me (hold me), I love the way that you hold me (hold me, ooo)
There's only one thing wrong with the way you hold me (hold me, yeah)
Maybe you'd just laugh if I let you know too soon
But the thing about this, you just let go too soon, oh baby

Do it again just a little bit slower
Do it again just a little bit slower
I just can't stand it when it's over
Do it again just a little bit slower

Slower, slower, kiss me just a little bit slower
Tell me that you love me, hold me fast, make it last &...

Clothes Line Saga


Clothes Line Saga
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Originally performed by: Bob Dylan
Covered by: Suzzy Roche



After a while we took in the clothes
Nobody said very much
Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
Which nobody really wanted to touch
Mama come in and picked up a book
An’ papa asked her what it was
Someone else asked, "what do you care?"
Papa said, "well, just because"
Then they started to take back their clothes
Hang ’em on the line
It was january the thirtieth
And everybody was feelin’ fine

The next day everybody got up
Seein’ if the clothes were dry
The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed
Mama, of course, she said, "hi!"
"have you heard the news? "he said, with a grin
"the vice-president’s gone mad!"
"where?" "downtown" "when?"
"last night"
"hmm, say, that’s too bad!"
"well, there’s nothin’ we can do about it," said the neighbor
"it’s just somethin’ we’re gonna have to forget"
"yes, I guess so," said ma
Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet

I reached up, touched my shirt
And the neighbor said, "are those clothes yours?"
I said, "some of ’em, not all of ’em"
He said, "ya always help out around here with the chores?"
I said, "sometime, not all the time"
Then my neighbor, he blew his nose
Just as papa yelled outside
"mama wants you t’ come back in the house and bring them clothes"
Well, I just do what I’m told
So, I did it, of course
I went back in the house and mama met me
And then I shut all the doors

Revelation (Mother Earth)


Revelation (Mother Earth)
Composer(s): Bob Daisley;
Ozzy Osbourne; Randy Rhoads
Performer(s): Ozzy Osbourne;
Novembers Doom; Alex Skolnick Trio



Mother please forgive them
For they know not what they do
Looking back in history's books
It seems it's nothing new

Oh! Let my mother live

Heaven is for heroes
And hell is full of fools
Stupidity, no will to live
They're breaking God's own rules

Please let my mother live

Father, of all creation
I think we're all going wrong
The course they're taking
Seems to be breaking

And it won't take too long
Children of the future
Watching empires fall
Madness the cup they drink from
Self destruction the toll
I had a vision, l saw the world burn
And the seas had turned red
The sun had fallen, the final curtain
In the land of the dead

Mother, please show the children
Before it's too late
To fight each other, there's no-one winning
We must fight all the hate

The Sad Cafe


The Sad Cafe
Composer(s): Joe Walsh - Glenn Frey - Don Henley - J.D. Souther
First release by: Eagles - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
The tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, it seemed like a holy place protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd
Inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, expecting to fly
we would meet on that shore in the sweet by and by
Some of their dreams came true
some just passed away
And some of the stayed behind inside the Sad Cafe
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by
and wonder at the powers that be
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and let's the rest go free
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change very slowly
if they ever change at all
There's no use in asking why
it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Cafe
Why don't you meet me at midnight baby
inside the Sad Cafe

Closing Time


Closing Time
Danish Title: Lukketid
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Originally performed by: Leonard Cohen



So we're drinking and we're dancing and the bards are really happening
And the Johnny Walker wisdom's running high
And my very sweet companion, she's an angel of compassion
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh
And every drinker, every dancer lifts a happy face to thank her
And the fiddler fiddles something so sublime

(Repeat:)
And the women tear their blouses off
And the men they dance on the polka dots
And it's partner found and partner lost
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
At Closing Time

Closing Time

Well, we're lonely, we're romantic and the cider's spiked with mushrooms
And the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
And the moon is spinning naked and the summer night is fragrant
With the mighty expectation of relief
So we struggle and we stagger down the snakes and up the ladders
To the tower where the blessed hours chime

(Repeat)
And I swear it happened just like this
A sigh, a cry, and a hungry kiss
The gates of love they budged an inch
And I can't say much has happened since
But Closing Time

Closing Time

I loved you for your beauty but that doesn't make a fool of me
You were in it for your beauty too
And I loved you for your body, there's a voice that sounds like God to me
Declaring that your body's really you
Well I loved you when our love was blessed
And I love you know there's nothing left
But sorrow and a sense of overtime
And I missed you since the place got wrecked
And I just don't care what happens next
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
It's something in between I guess
It's Closing Time

Closing Time

So we're drinking and we're dancing but there's nothing really happening
And the place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
And my very close companion gets me hot and gets me laughing
She's a hundred but she's wearing something tight
And I lift my glass to the awful truth that you can't reveal to the ears of youth
Except to say it isn't worth a dime
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the Devil and it's for the Christ
But the boss don't like those dizzy heights, we're busted in the blinding lights
Of Closing Time
Closing Time

The Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake


The Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake
Composer(s): Steve Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie



When I was just a kid back in Abeline
I had to use a gun, well, for my own sake
I shot a man down when I was just eighteen
And from that day they call me Shaky Jake
Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
Ma says I was born under bad sign
I was lookin' for the chance to make or break
I cut my teeth on a brandin' iron
I'm the devil's own son, I'm Shaky Jake
Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
I keep on the run now
I travel by night
I don't need anyone
But someone, one day, somewhere's gonna see me right
Dig a hole about six foot deep
Pray the Lord my soul to take
I don't want flowers, and nobody's gonna weep
Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake
Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake

Closing My Eyes


Closing My Eyes
Composer(s): Peter Green
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac; Naked Blue



Now it's the same as before
And I'm alone again

With no sorrow for myself
And I'm blaming no one else

And closing my eyes
And seeing you standing there

Now it's the same as before
You've touched me with your love

And though you're in my heart
We're still a world apart
As now I'm back to the time
Where I would search for a dream
But no use to try anymore as before
Someday I'll die, and maybe then I'll be with you

So I'm closing my eyes
To hear the people laugh

For they're all aglow
Not knowing where to go

But is it asking too much
When the question is what to do
With the life I'll have
It seems I know nothing now
Except my love for you
And the strength in my hands
To go on feeding your smile

I was a fool to ever leave your side
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad
