I Refuse


I Refuse
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars



Everything's heaven sent
That's what you said and went
Inisde your fairy glass
Is something you think will last
And when they crop you like a clown
You got your smile on upside down

Baby I refuse
You can pick or choose
Find somebody else to use
'Cause I refuse to come along

Everything's on a whim
That's what you said to him
Lying in wunderlust
Are feelings you never trust
And when they pamper you with ice
I can't believe you don't think twice

Baby I refuse
You can pick or choose
Find somebody else to use
'Cause I refuse to come along

Everyone makes the play
With nothing much left to say
All in an endless line
Waiting for equal time
They keep screaming it's the truth
And you keep kneeling in the booth

Baby I refuse
You can pick or choose
Find somebody else to use
'Cause I refuse to come along

Easy Money (Billy Joel)


Easy Money
Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel



You don't have to talk all night
I'm a man who can't say no
You don't have to twist my arm
Just point me where you want to go
Take me to the action
Take me to the track
Take me to a party if they're bettin' in the back
I've been working all my life
Can't afford to wait
Let me call my wife so I can tell her I'll be late

I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
I could get lucky
Oh, things could go right

I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
Maybe this one time
Maybe tonight

You don't have to try too hard
I don't need a song and dance
I don't need an invitation
If you've got a game of chance

Take me to the tables
Take me to the fights
Run me like the numbers
Roll me like the dice

When you're counting on a killing
Always count me in
Talk me into losin' just as long as I can win

I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
I want the good times
Oh, I never had

I want the easy
Easy money
I want the good life
I want it bad

Easy money
You say I fool myself
But better me than being a fool for someone else
I got a hot slot machine of a system
Ready to go

Easy money
I got a one-track mind
And a good reputation laying on the line
I'll either come back a bum or a king
Baby I don't know

You don't have to start a fight
I'm a man who can't say no
If you've got a little risky business
Just point me where you want to go

Take me to the power
Take me to the heat
Take me to the cleaners
If it's open to the street

Something's got to pay off
Something's got to break
Someone's got a fortune that they're begging
Me to take

I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
I could get lucky
Things could go right

I want the easy
Easy money
Easy money
Maybe just this time
Oh maybe tonight

Easy money
Oh I don't want no hard cash
I just want the easy money
I could get lucky

Troisièmes Couteaux


Troisièmes Couteaux
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers - Georges Baux
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Devant nous l'an 2000
Quelques heures nous séparent
N'en parlez pas m'a-t-on dit
Et pourtant ce silence a comme un balancement maudit
Qui vous met la pendule à l'heure
C'est le moment, c'est pas trop tôt
Pour parler des troisièmes couteaux

Ils ne font rien, ils se situent
Ils sont consultants ambigus
Des hydres multinationales
Pas de nom, que des initiales
Ils ont de grands ordinateurs
Poules de luxe, hommes de paille
Requins, banquiers, simples canailles
Pas de nom et pas de photo
Leurs sociétés sont étrangères
Plus compliqué est le réseau
Qui les relie à leurs affaires

Il était grand, il était beau
Il sentait bon son Lugano
Mon gestionnaire

Justement près de Lugano
Etait la banque Ambrosiano
Là où les vierges vaticanes
Faisaient fructifier leur magot
Loge P2 dans ses arcanes
A deux massifs cardinaux
Pour les consultations diaphanes
Avec de joyeux mafiosos
Le fameux compte à numéro
Passe de Zurich à Lausanne
De Bâle à Londres, près de Soho
Rencontra le troisième couteau

Il était chauve, il était gros
Il portait des fringues de chez Smalto
Mon mercenaire

Les politiques, drôles d'oiseaux
Prennent toujours pour plan de vol
Les bulletins de la météo
Ils vont toujours où il fait beau
Il fait beau dans les audimats
Dans les sondages du Figaro
Il fait très beau chez la misère
Et dans les œuvres humanitaires
Il fait beau sur les droits de l'homme
Il fait beau chez l'intégration
Le plein emploi, l'immigration
On se les gèle dans le pognon

Politiquement leurs idéaux
Sont très ciblés sur deux critères
Entre Mad Max et l'abbé Pierre

Pas de nom et pas de photo
Leurs sociétés sont étrangères
Plus étonnant est le réseau
Qui les réunit entre frères
Ils ne font rien, ils se situent
Ils prennent, ils se gavent, ils se tuent
Trivialité derrière les mots
La réussite dans les crocs
Ils sont là à tous les niveaux
C'est le règne des troisièmes couteaux

Dansez Sur Moi


Dansez Sur Moi
Adapted from: Girl Talk - 1965
Composer(s): Neal Hefti; Bobby Troup; Claude Nougaro
Performer(s): Claude Nougaro - 1973
and multiple other artists



Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi
Le soir de vos fiançailles
Dansez dessus mes vers luisants
Comme un parquet de Versailles
Embrassez-vous, enlacez-vous
Ma voix vous montre la voie
La Voie lactée, la voie clarté
Où les pas ne pèsent pas

Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi

Dansez sur moi dansez sur moi
Qui tourne comme un astre
Etrennez-vous, étreignez-vous
Pour que vos cœurs s'encastrent
Tel un tapis, tapis volant
Je me tapis sous vos pieds
C'est pour vous tous que sur mes doigts
La nuit je compte mes pieds

Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi

Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi
Le soir de mes funérailles
Que la vie soit feu d'artifice
Et la mort un feu de paille
Un chant de cygne s'est éteint
Mais un autre a cassé l'œuf
Sous un saphir en vrai saphir
Miroite mon sillon neuf

Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi
Dansez sur moi

Trois Petites Notes De Musique


Trois Petites Notes De Musique
Composer(s): Henri Colpi - Georges Delerue
Performer(s): Yves Montand
and multiple other artists



Trois petites notes de musique
Ont plié boutique
Au creux du souvenir
C'en est fini de leur tapage
Elles tournent la page
Et vont s'endormir

Mais un jour sans crier gare
Elles vous reviennent en mémoire

Toi, tu voulais oublier
Un p'tit air galvaudé
Dans les rues de l'été
Toi, tu n'oublieras jamais
Une rue, un été
Une fille qui fredonnait

La, la, la, la, je vous aime
Chantait la rengaine
La, la, mon amour
Des paroles sans rien de sublime
Pourvu que la rime
Amène toujours

Une romance de vacances
Qui lancinante vous relance

Vrai, elle était si jolie
Si fraîche épanouie
Et tu ne l'as pas cueillie
Vrai, pour son premier frisson
Elle t'offrait une chanson
A prendre à l'unisson

La, la, la, la, tout rêve
Rime avec s'achève
Le tien n'rime à rien
Fini avant qu'il commence
Le temps d'une danse
L'espace d'un refrain

Trois petites notes de musique
Qui vous font la nique
Du fond des souvenirs
Lèvent un cruel rideau de scène
Sur mille et une peines
Qui n'veulent pas mourir

I Really Loved Harold


I Really Loved Harold
Composer(s): Melanie
First release by: Melanie - 1968



They told me when I was little
I'd go to heaven, if I was good
Now I'm a long way from little
'Cause I tried to find heaven, 'cause I thought that I could
I thought that I could
And I thought I loved Harold and I really loved John
I really loved Alphy and I almost loved Tom
I loved them so easy and I loved them so free
So I don't think that heaven will wanna love me

Hallo, song of the willow
The dreams under my pillow turned to tears that I cried
Beauty and love are our riddle
Never to answer but always to try
And boy, did I try?
I tried with Harold and I tried with John
I tried with Alphy and almost with Tom
I left myself open for the whole world to see
Now the world is the heaven that won't accept me

I said goodbye to Harold and goodbye to John
Goodbye to Alphy and goodbye to Tom
'Cause I loved them so easy and I loved them so free
So I don't think that heaven will wanna love me
Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light
No light will shine on me?

She'll get a hold on you believe it

She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other

You're the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her

You'll never get it
For she'll say there's no other
Till she finds another
Better forget it
Oh you'll regret it

And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh

Easy Living


Easy Living
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger - Leo Robin First release by: Teddy Wilson & His Orch. - 1937 Covered by multiple other artists



Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

I never regret the years that I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do, whatever I do for you

For you, maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun
People will say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand, they just don't understand

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

Trois Milliards De Gens Sur Terre


Trois Milliards De Gens Sur Terre
Composer(s): Eddy Marnay - Jean Claudric
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu



Partout des yeux se lèvent
Et partout les mêmes gestes
Accompagnent chaque jour
Le soleil de l'Est à l'Ouest
Si ta main calme la mienne
Si ma main sème le grain
L'amour est en chemin

Trois milliards de gens sur terre
Qui se cherchent une lumière
Trois milliards de gens sur terre
Qui s'aimeront demain

Si tu plantes un nouvel arbre
Pour celui qui a brûlé
Si tu t'assois à la table
Où l'on parle de la paix
Si tu donnes ta confiance
Si tu peux encore prier
L'amour est en chemin

Trois milliards de gens sur terre
Qui se cherchent une prière
Trois milliards de gens sur terre
Qui s'aimeront demain

Si tu marches vers l'étoile
Qui éclaire le matin
Si tu refuses de croire
Que la faute est au voisin
Si tu sais penser à l'autre
Si l'autre te le rends bien
L'amour est en chemin

Trois milliards de gens sur terre
Qui n'ont pas besoin de guerres
Trois milliards de gens sur terre
Qui s'aimeront demain
Trois milliards de gens sur terre
Qui n'ont pas besoin de guerres
Trois milliards de gens sur terre
Qui s'aimeront demain
Demain!

First release by: Eddy Arnold - 1953

How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many, I wonder
But I really don't want to know

How many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow
How many, how many, I wonder
But I really don't want to know

So always make me wonder
Always make me guess
And even if I ask you
Darlin' don't confess
Just let it remain your secret
But darlin I love you so
No wonder, no wonder I wonder
Though I really don't want to know

Easy Livin'


Easy Livin'
Composer(s): Ken Hensley First release by: Uriah Heep - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find ya
Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind ya

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road I had walked, walked behind you

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Joli tambour, tu n'es pas assez riche

J'ai trois vaisseaux dessus la mer jolie

L'un chargé d'or, l'autre de pierreries

Et le troisième pour promener ma mie

Joli tambour, dis-moi quel est ton père

Sire le roi, c'est le roi d'Angleterre

Et ma mère est la reine de Hongrie

Joli tambour, tu auras donc ma fille

Sire le roi, je vous en remercie

Dans mon pays y en a de plus jolies

I Really Don't Need No Light


I Really Don't Need No Light
Composer(s): Jeffrey Osborne; David Wolinski "Hawk"
Performer(s): Jeffrey Osborne



There goes another night time
There goes another dream
When will it be the right time
It's later than it seems
I used to wait for you
All that has changed so soon
How much can someone love
A someone like you

I really don't need no light to see through you
I really don't need your love to see me through
I really don't need your heart to set me free
I really don't need the way it used to be

And who was that lone arranger
How did he get to you
Who were those other strangers
What did they make you do
Where was their party from
You with that number one
How could you feel so high
Just living a lie

I really don't need no light to see through you
I really don't need your love to see me through
I really don't need your heart to set me free
I really don't need the way it used to be

I really don't need no light to see through you
I really don't need your love to see me through
I really don't need your heart to set me free
I really don't need the way it used to be
Oh I really don't need, I really don't need no light
I really don't need no light to see through you

Easy Going Me


Easy Going Me
Composer(s): Lionel Bart Performer(s): Adam Faith



Easy going me
Wound up knowing you
What a pity you could not be
Easy going too

All those other guys
You stepped out to see
Didn't worry
Easy going me

But I stepped out one night
With somebody who just one night
With somebody whose eyes looked bright
Made me think of you all night long

And next day you came on
All tight-lipped with me
Thought this chick
Must have flipped with me
Though you think you're so hip with me
You're so wrong

Easy going me
Soon be showing you
Where my easy-goin' lips
Are easy going to

Give me no hard times
Who else could there be
Who else pleasing
Easy going me

Who else teasing
Easy going me

Who else squeezing
Easy going me

Troglodyte (Cave Man)


Troglodyte (Cave Man)
Composer(s): Langdon Fridie - Jimmy Castor - Douglas Gibson - Harry Jensen - Bobby Manigault - Gerry Thomas
First release: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - 1972



What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time
When the only people that existed were troglodytes
Cave men, cave women, Neanderthal, troglodytes
Let's take the average cave man at home, listening to his stereo
Sometimes he'd get up, try to do his thing
He'd begin to move, something like this: 'dance... dance'
When he got tired of dancing alone, he'd look in the mirror
Gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman
Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman
He'd go down to the lake where all the woman would be swimming
Or washing clothes or something
He'd look around and just reach in and grab one
Come here... come here, he'd grab her by the hair
You can't do that today, fellas, cause it might come off
You'd have a piece of hair in your hand
And she'd be swimming away from you (ha-ha)
This one woman just lay there, wet and frightened
He said: move... move, she got up, she was a big woman
Big woman, her name was Bertha, Bertha Butt
She was one of the Butt sisters, he didn't care
He looked up at her and said
Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me
Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me!
She looked down on him
She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him
She said: I'll sock it to ya, Daddy, he said: wha?
She said: I'll sock it to ya, Daddy
You know what he said? He started it way back then
I wouldn't lie to you, when she said
I'll sock it to ya, Daddy', he said Right on! Right on! Hotpants!
Hotpants! Ugh... ugh... ugh

I Do Really Love You


I Do Really Love You
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry



It's you I'm in love with
It's not what you are
It's not how you treat me
Or your fancy car
But there's something about you
I keep yearning for
I, I do really love you

Just thinking about you
Gives me such a thrill
Let alone to be with you or know that I will
And know that I'll tremble
When I should be still
Um, um, I, I do really love you

Give me what I live for
Your sweet lips pressed to me
And transform this yearning into ecstasy
And send me, oh, send me - most humbly
Um, um, I, I do really love you

Well you are
