J'Attends Le Soleil
J'Attends Le Soleil
Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat
Performer(s): Pierre Rapsat
Là du haut de cette tour
Je regarde la ville attends le jour
En bas des serpents de lumière
Inlassablement sillonnent les artères
Ils rampent, glissent parmi les ombres
J'attends le soleil
Qu'il se lève lentement
Majestueux, fascinant
Sur le fleuve les premiers rayons
Echappés de l'horizon
Rampent, recouvrent l'eau d'or et d'ombres
J'attends le soleil
Le lever du soleil
Comme Pharaon-Pharaon, je prie Amon
Que la nuit se sauve
Je l'appelle, appelle au secours
Pour qu' à l'horizon arrive Amon
Que le ciel devienne fauve
Je l'appelle, j'attends son retour
Que la ville enfin voie le jour
Et qu'il inonde nos rues
Nos maisons, chasse le noir
Qu'il nous réchauffe tant et plus
Que ceux qui dorment sur le trottoir
Se lèvent sortent enfin de l'ombre
J'attends le soleil
Que les femmes deviennent belles
Que les sourires apparaissent
Qu'il monte haut dans le ciel
Qu'il efface toutes nos détresses
Je suis une ombre parmi les ombres
Mais j'attends le soleil
Le lever du jour
Comme Pharaon-Pharaon, je prie Amon
Que la nuit se sauve
Je l'appelle, appelle au secours
Pour qu'à l'horizon, à l'horizon arrive Amon
Que le ciel devienne fauve
Je l'appelle, j'attends son retour
Que la ville enfin voie le jour
Je ne suis qu'une ombre
Parmi les ombres
Mais j'attends
J'attends le soleil

This Time (Robert Shanley)
This Time
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Robert Shanley
'Twas not so long ago
We sailed to meet the foe
And thought our fighting days were done
We thought 'twas over then
But now we're in again
To win the war that wasn't won
This time
We will all make certain
That this time is the last time
This time
We will not say "Curtain"
Till we ring it down
In their own home town
For this time
We are out to finish the job we started then
Clean it up for all time this time
So we won't have to do it again
Dressed up to win
We're dressed up to win
Dressed up for victory
We are just beginning
And we won't stop winning
Till the world is free
We'll fight to the finish this time
And we'll never have to do it again

Crooked Little House
Crooked Little House
(aka Crooked Little Man)
Composer(s): Ersel Hickey - Ed E. Miller
First release by: Jimmie Rodgers - 1960
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
There was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile
Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
Took a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little bat
Tried to fix his roof with a rat-a-tat-tat
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
Uh-huh, oh no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Now this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house
Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch
That's a crooked group with the crooked little patch
Uh-huh oh no, don't let the rain come down
Uh-huh oh no, don't let the rain come down
Uh-huh,no no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown!

J'Attends
J'Attends
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
J'attends les grands sommets de la plus haute étoile
Où déposer ton cœur pour le garder vivant
J'attends de traverser la vie de salle en salle
De couloirs en entrées, de fauteuils en divans
J'attends de reposer sans peine et angoisse
Auprès de ton amour qui traverse les ans
J'attends de rassembler les morceaux de l'espace
Où nous vivrons tous deux jusqu'à la fin des temps
J'attends que l'univers se réduise à nos cœurs
Afin d'être à l'abri des méchants et des fous
J'attends que nos instants s'éternisent en des heures
Et que le fil du temps s'enroule autour de nous
J'attends que le printemps fleurisse la chaumière
Où je t'emmènerai passer l'éternité
J'attends que le soleil soit fait de la lumière
Et qu'une nuit l'hiver se transforme en été
J'attends que tous les bruits ne soient plus que musique
Et le fond de la Terre une source de miel
Et j'attends que jaillisse un geyser fantastique
Entraînant nos élans jusqu'au plus haut du ciel
C'est à toi que le Monde alors ressemblera
Et je t'épouserai pour la seconde fois

Dragonfly (Bert Jansch)
Dragonfly
Composer(s): John Bidwell
Performer(s): Bert Jansch
Dragonfly, shines with the colours of the river
Where shadows lie among the swaying leaves
With the fruits of summer passing
My lover, as she went
Still she smiles with all the beauty of the river
Still she sighs among the swaying leaves
Ah, she loves the earth so dearly
Kinda mother of all
They cannot see, then they should look into her dark eyes
They're open wide, they cannot tell a lie
They should listen to her singing
Sweet songs from all sides

Crois-Moi Mon Coeur
Crois-Moi Mon Coeur
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Eddy Mitchell
Crois-moi, mon cœur, on a bien le droit quand on aime
De s'enlacer la nuit venue
Sans que cela cause un problème
Se rencontrer, pour s'embrasser dans la rue
Crois-moi, mon cœur, on peut sous un portail complice
Echanger nos mots d'amour
Et nous y blottir sans malice
Te caresser, tout oublier jusqu'au jour
Tant pis, tant pis pour tous ceux qui ne voient pas
Le bonheur de la vie comme je le vois
Et tant pis, tant pis pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas
Que l'on a besoin de ça
Crois-moi, mon cœur, quand le bonheur frappe à la porte
Faut le prendre avec furie
Avant qu'le temps n' le dévore
Et l'inviter pour réchauffer notre vie
Et tant pis, tant pis pour tous ceux qui ne voient pas
Le bonheur de la vie comme je le vois
Et tant pis, tant pis pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas
Que l'on a besoin de ça
Crois-moi, mon cœur, s'il y en a qui s'en formalisent
N'pensons pas, serrons-nous fort
Et si cela les scandalise
Ignorons les, tous deux serrés corps à corps
Ignorons les, tous deux serrés corps à corps
Crois-moi, mon cœur

J'attendrai
Le jour et la nuit
J'attendrai toujours
Ton retour
J'attendrai
Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit
Vient chercher l'oubli
Dans son nid
Le temps passe et court
En battant tristement
Dans mon coeur si lourd
Et pourtant j'attendrai
Ton retour
J'attendrai
Le jour et la nuit
J'attendrai toujours
Ton retour
J'attendrai
Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit
Vient chercher l'oubli
Dans son nid
Le temps passe et court
En battant tristement
Dans mon coeur si lourd
Et pourtant j'attendrai
Ton retour
Le vent m'apporte
Des bruits lointains
Guettant ma porte
J'écoute en vain
Hélas, plus rien
Plus rien ne vient
J'attendrai
Le jour et la nuit
J'attendrai toujours
Ton retour
J'attendrai
Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit
Vient chercher l'oubli
Dans son nid
Le temps passe et court
En battant tristement
Dans mon coeur si lourd
Et pourtant j'attendrai
Ton retour
Et pourtant j'attendrai
Ton retour
Le temps passe et court
En battant tristement
Dans mon coeur si lourd
Et pourtant j'attendrai
Ton retour

This Time (Los Lobos)
This Time
Composer(s): David Hidalgo - Louie Pérez
Performer(s): Los Lobos
Why do the days
Go by so fast
If only time
Was built to last
If it could learn
To take it slow
Then maybe time
At last would know
That if Monday, Tuesday
Should go away
It'll be Wednesday, Thursday
Then Saturday
And when Sunday comes
It's just too late
It's gotta be this time
How come the days
Do what they do
Maybe if time
Time only knew
Could be that time
Don't really know
That it should try
To take it slow
Then maybe Monday, Tuesday
Won't go away
Then maybe Thursday, Friday
Could be like Saturday
And when Sunday comes
It's never too late
It'll be this time
It's gotta be this time
How come the days
Do what they do
Maybe if time
Time only knew
That if Monday, Tuesday
Should go away
It'll be Wednesday, Thursday
Then Saturday
And when Sunday comes
It's just too late
It's gotta be this time
It's gotta be this time
It's never too late
It'll be this time

J'Attendrai (Claude François)
J'Attendrai
Composer(s): Vline Buggy; Lamont Dozier;
Claude François; Brian Holland
Performer(s): Claude François
Mais si un jour tu te retrouve toute seule
Que tu t'imagines que les gens t'en veulent
Que le bonheur soudain t'abandonne
Que pour te consoler tu ne trouves personne
Viens vite, viens vite, je t'attendrai, viens vite, je t'attendrai
J'attendrai que tu me reviennes à nouveau
J'attendrai, j'attendrai longtemps s'il le faut
Oui et si un jour tout n'est que confusion
Que ce nouvel amour n'était qu'illusion
Qu'à la dérive tu te laisse aller
Que tu cherches une main pour te rattraper
Viens vite, viens vite, je t'attendrai, viens vite, je t'attendrai
J'attendrai que tu me reviennes à nouveau
J'attendrai, j'attendrais longtemps s'il le faut
J'attendrai que tu me reviennes à nouveau
J'attendrai, j'attendrais longtemps s'il le faut
Oui car si ce jour devait arriver
N'aie pas peur, j'oublierais le passé
Ce jour-là surtout rappelle-toi
Que tu peux toujours compter sur moi
Viens vite, viens vite, je t'attendrai, viens vite, je t'attendrai
J'attendrai que tu me reviennes à nouveau
J'attendrai, j'attendrais longtemps s'il le faut
J'attendrai avec tout l'amour qu'il te faut
J'attendrai, tu peux toujours compter sur moi...

This Time (Dwight Yoakam)
This Time
Composer(s): Kostas - Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again
I tell myself each morning
That we're through
But every night I see
That it's not true
I run out
And track her down
Just so I can hang around
And cry
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again
Come on heart let's make believe we're fine
We'll both agree the pain's just in our mind
I'll close my eyes and try not to hear
The things I'll say when she appears
To haunt me
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again

Crocus & Hyacinth
Crocus & Hyacinth
Performer(s): Paula Foley
The leaves are falling to the ground
The grass in the field is a thousand shades of brown
My heart has befriended this semi-dormant place
Hardly living ... Barely breathing ... Scarcely feeling ... but
Crocus and Hyacinth
Wait in the frozen earth
Expectantly
For the first caress of spring
I am waiting too!
Warm sun -Caress my brokeness
The geese are taking flight now
Instinct leads them to a soft more gentle air
Instinct leads me blindly through this winter of my heart
Mostly numb ... Mostly ache ... Mostly lost ... but

Jason
Composer(s): Debbie Hupp; Bob Morrison
Performer(s): Andy Williams
This ain't for the quarterback
Who lives upstairs in our house
An' this ain't for the princess
Who's sleepin' down the hall!
This ain't for the other one
Who looks just like her mamma
An' this ain't for the baby
Who's the cutest one of all!
Jason, this is my love for you
Written down a thousand times
Jason, like the teacher makes you do
When you're bad and outta line
I'm so glad you're mine!
It hurts me when they tease you
'Cause your mind's a little slower
I'd like to take the sadness
An' turn em into joy!
I watch you so hard to do
What usually comes easy
After all, to me
You're such a special little boy!
Jason, this is my love for you
Written, written down a thousand times
Jason, like the teacher makes you do
When you're bad and outta line
I'm so glad you're mine!
Jason ... Jason!

Draggin' Shackles
Draggin' Shackles
Composer(s): Gary Stewart - Nat Stuckey
Performer(s): Gary Stewart; Johnny Russell
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
The mem'ry of her's burnin' up my brain
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
That woman's every link in these old chains
James' House of Jewellery
Had the ring she liked the most
Just the thing I needed to win her hand
Now, James' House of Jewellery
Is a-missing one fine ring
And James says he isn't sure I bought the ring
I'm draggin' shackles down in Georgia
The mem'ry of her's burnin' up my brain
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
That woman's every link in these old chains
I get up ev'ry mornin'
Before the birds begin to sing
The only place I see you's in a dream
And the ??? of a captive heart
Makes me wish I were dead
Huntin' down the road with you in my arms, Lord I can't
Instead, I'm draggin' shackles down in Georgia
The mem'ry of her's burnin' up my brain
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
That woman's every link in these old chains
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
The mem'ry of her's burnin' up my brain
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
That woman's every link in these old chains

Crocodiles
Crocodiles
Composer(s): Ian McCulloch - Pete De Freitas - Les Pattinson - Will Sergeant
First release by: Echo & The Bunnymen - 1980
I read it in a magazine
I don't wanna see it again
I threw away the magazine
And looked for someone to explain
I don't wanna look back
I can't look around
I don't wanna see it coming round
Listen to the ups and downs
Listen to the sound they make
Don't be scared when it gets loud
When you're skin begins to shake
'Cause you don't wanna look back
You gotta look tall
You gotta see those creeps crawl
I know you know
I know you know
I can see you've got the blues
In your alligator shoes
Me, I'm all smiles
I got my crocodiles
I don't wanna look back
I can't turn around
I don't want to see it coming down
Met someone just the other day
Said wait until tomorrow
I said, hey what you doing today
He said, I'm going to do it tomorrow
Met someone just the other day
Said wait until tomorrow
I said, hey, what you doing today
I'm going to do it tomorrow

You've got this strange effect on me

That's why I feel good

And I like it

Crocodile Rock
Crocodile Rock
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rocking round the clock
we were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock
Well crocodile rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh lawdy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
and the crocodile rocking was out of sight
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
burning up to the crocodile rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
we really thought the crocodile rock would last
