Please Don't Leave Me (John Sykes)
Please Don't Leave Me
Composer(s): Phil Lynott; John Sykes
Performer(s): John Sykes
In the summer we'd be crazy
We'd fool around all the time
Oh now I loved that girl
When she was mine
But now she's left me
For another guy
And it realy brought me down
For without that girl
I was lost and found
Oh darling please don't hurt me this way
Oh darling please don't leave me
Oh darling don't leave me
Oh darling please don't leave me
Now I get messed up
And I fool aroung
But there's no fun anymore
They say times must change
But I'm not so sure
Lost loves of summer
As we go out separate way
Remember memories you owe
Won't bring back those special days
(Chorus)

Wat waren wi-j nog jong, toen wi-j der an begonnen
Wi-j kwamen, wi-j zagen en wi-j overwonnen
Der is een tied van kommen, moar ook een toed van goan
Wi-j zegt hallo - en ik zeg ajouw
Joaren in 't rond, wi-j gingen van mond tut mond
Heftig hoken, 't bier vloag in 't rond
Gewoon gin gezeur, wi-j slept ow der deur
De kop der veur, wi-j donderen deur
Altied met z'n vieren, wie konnen de wereld an
Wat zo'k zeien, wi-j trokken ons eigen plan
't Wier de hoogste tied veur 't hardste lied
Al die verhalen die deren ons niet
Ik zeg nou ajouw - wi-j zegt nog steeds hallo
Ik stop der met - en wi-j goat deur met de show
Der is een tied van kommen - moar ok een tied van goan
Wi-j zegt hallo - en ik zeg ajouw
Wi-j stonnen veur kabaal, 't dak dat mos der af
Hoken in de zaal, iedereen wier maf
I-j mot niet blieven stoan, altied wieter goan
Ik zeg ajouw, moar zal wel blieven sloan
Ik zeg nou ajouw - wi-j zegt nog steeds hallo
Ik stop der met - en wi-j goat deur met de show
Der is een tied van kommen - moar ok een tied van goan
Wi-j zegt hallo - en ik zeg ajouw

Fleur De Liberté
Fleur De Liberté
Composer(s): Jacques Hustin; Frank F. Gérald
First performance by: Jacques Hustin - 1974
Reviens sur la terre, fleur de liberté
Reviens sur la terre, nos curs sont prisonniers
Il y a tant à faire et tant à aimer
Reviens sur la terre, fleur de liberté
Est-ce vraiment un enfant du Bon Dieu que j'ai vu passer ce matin?
Il avait l'air déjà d'un petit vieux qui n'attend rien du lendemain
Est-ce vraiment un homme à qui j'ai parlé? - Il me regardait sans me voir
Pourtant rien d'autre ne nous séparait que le grillage d'un comptoir
Reviens sur la terre, fleur de liberté
Reviens sur la terre, nos curs sont prisonniers
Il y a tant à faire et tant à aimer
Reviens sur la terre, fleur de liberté
Toi qui étais la princesse du vent, est-ce bien ici que tu vis
Dans ce palais de verre et de ciment où les arbres sont l'ennemi?
Tu as les doigts crispés sur l'avenir sans voir que le présent est mort
L'heure est venue pour moi de repartir, ce soir je serai seul encore
Reviens sur la terre, fleur de liberté
Reviens sur la terre, nos curs sont prisonniers
Il y a tant à faire et tant à aimer
Reviens sur la terre, fleur de liberté
(bis)

Please Don't Go (Donald Peers)
Please Don't Go
Composer(s): Les Reed; Jackie Rae
Performer(s): Donald Peers
Please don't go, I beg you don't go
For I need you here with me
If we part, down deep in my heart
I know what the end will be
No one else can take your place
The love that I have known
If I don't see your sweet face
My life I'll live alone
Stay here with me
That's the way it should be
The World can see
That I can't set you free
Just this once, I beg you just once
Forgive me for what I've done
I adore you, I was meant for you
Much more than anyone
Darling, I love you so
More than you seem to know
Stay here with me
Please don't go

Sloan
Sloan
Composer(s): Bill Fries; Chip Davis
Performer(s): C.W. McCall
Well I found him on the corner of seventh and main
In the Iowa township of Sloan
He 'as tired an' he 'as hungry, he 'as old an' he 'as grungy
And parked, in a no parkin' zone
Well I bent down and says how ya doin' old fella
He tried to get up on his own
Then I gave him a piece of my ham salad sandwich
And he reached up an' licked on my nose
(He gave him a piece of his ham salad sandwich
And reached up and licked on his nose
Old Sloan)
Well I opened the door of my old beat-up semi
Threw an old dirty shirt on the floor
He hopped in an' layed his self down by the gearshift
Curled up and started to snore
For years we went truckin' them highways together
On the byways of life we did roam
With his paws on the dashboard, his head out the windah
And his ears in the breeze gently blowin'
(With his paws on the dashboard
His head out the windah
And his ears in the breeze gently blowin'
Old Sloan)
Then one mornin' last May, four miles north of Mondamin
I stopped to use a pay telephone
Old Sloan made a fireplug, while I made a phone call
And when I come back he was gone
Well I searched forty miles of that interstate highway
And the byways that we used to roam
From Ricketts to Redline, Magnolia to Woodbine
But I just couldn't find poor old Sloan
(From Fiscus to Jacksonville
Quick to Correctionville
Looked like the end for old Sloan)
Poor old fella
He din't have no license nor shots nor nothin'
I thought he 'as a goner
Then on a cold winter day on the ninth of November
I 'as drivin' my rig all alone
When my eye caught a blur in my left rear view mirror
And my ears heard the sound of old Sloan
He 'as runnin' as fast as his old legs would run him
And cryin' for me to slow down
His tail was a waggin' his tongue was a draggin'
As I opened the door for old Sloan
(His tail was a waggin'
His tongue was a draggin'
As he opened the door for old Sloan
Old Sloan)
Well I gave him a hug and he licked me all over
And I threw him his old dirty bone
Then in through the windah jumped a poodle from Pisgah
And she set on down beside Sloan
(Then in through the windah jumped a poodle from Pisgah
And set herself down beside Sloan
Old Sloan)
So that's where ya been boy...
Hey, she's kinda pertty...
Aww, Sloan...

Please Don't Bury Me
Please Don't Bury Me
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine;
Rig the Jig; Erik Viel
Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:
Chorus:
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose
Repeat Chorus
Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

Celui Qui Reste Et Celui Qui S'en Va
Celui Qui Reste Et Celui Qui S'en Va
First performance by: Romuald Figuier - 1974
À la fin d'un amour, celui qui reste est le perdant
Celui qui part sait déjà que quelqu'un l'attend
À la fin d'un amour, à l'instant du dernier regard
Il y a toujours toujours sur Terre quelque part
Celui qui reste et celui qui s'en va
Celui qui parle et celui qui n'ose pas
Celui qui pleure, celui qui baisse les yeux
Il y a toujours toujours à l'instant d'un adieu
Celui qui reste et celui qui s'en va
Celui qui triche et celui qui ne sait pas
Celui qui va très bientôt trouver l'oubli
Et l'autre qui restera seul toute sa vie
Toute sa vie
Bien sûr je te comprends, il fallait en arriver là
Tu as la force de partir, je ne l'ai pas
Bien sûr que je comprends, bien sûr que je ne t'en veux pas
Mais déjà nous voilà devenus toi et moi
Celui qui reste et celui qui s'en va
Celui qui parle et celui qui n'ose pas
Celui qui pleure, celui qui baisse les yeux
Il y a toujours toujours à l'instant d'un adieu
Celui qui reste et celui qui s'en va
Celui qui triche et celui qui ne sait pas
Celui qui va très bientôt trouver l'oubli
Et l'autre qui restera seul toute sa vie
Celui qui reste et celui qui s'en va

Please Don't Ask About Barbara
Please Don't Ask About Barbara
Composer(s): Bill Buchanan; Jack Keller
Performer(s): Bobby Vee; Gene McDaniels
Please don't ask about Barbara
Don't ask me if she's found somebody new
'cause I would try to smile but in a little while
My tears would show and then you'd know it's true
Please don't ask about Barbara
The hurt will bring the teardrops to my eyes
Though I would pretend that now she's just a friend
You'd look at me and see right through the lies
Tears, tears, go away, come again another day
How can I hide this pain I feel inside
When little teardrops give my heart away?
Don't you ever tell Barbara
I'd rather die than let her know I'm cryin'
Let her run around until the day she's found
She needs me back again but this I ask till then
"Please don't ask about Barbara"

Slipstream
Slipstream
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Well the lush separation enfolds you
and the products of wealth
push you along on the bow wave
of the spiritless undying selves
And you press on God's waiter your last dime
as he hands you the bill
And you spin in the slipstream
timeless unreasoning
paddle right out of the mess

Please Come To Boston
Please Come To Boston
Composer(s): Dave Loggins
Performer(s): Dave Loggins
Please come to Boston for the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lotsa room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a café here I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
She said "No
Would you come home to me?"
And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy now won't cha settle down?
Boston ain't your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
Please come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night till they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said "No
Boy, would you come home to me?"
And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?
Denver ain't your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I still need to lean to
Somebody I can sing to
Please come to LA to live forever
California life alone is just too hard to build
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars that fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to LA
She just said "No
Boy, won't you come home to me?"
And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?
LA can't be your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
No, no, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
"I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

Bye Bye I Love You
Bye Bye I Love You
Composer(s): Ralph Siegel; Michael Kunze; Humbert Ibach
First performance by: Ireen Sheer - 1974
Moi, je ne savais presque pas parler français
Quand on s'est connu tous les deux
De ton côté, tu ne dis pas un mot d'anglais
Mais tu devinais dans mes yeux et nous étions heureux
Tous les rêves sont permis, pourtant ce soir, je te quitte
Ton cœur a changé si vite que nos rêves sont finis
Bye, bye, I love you, love you
C'était le plus bel été de ma vie
I love you, chéri
Le cœur meurtri, je pars en laissant derrière moi
Tant de peine, tant de jours, tant d'amour avec toi
Tous les rêves sont permis, je t'aimais, j'avais confiance
J'attendais de l'existence, ce que tu m'avais promis
Tous les rêves sont permis, tu n'as pas été fidèle
Tu m'as fait pleurer pour elle, trop de fois tu m'as menti
Bye, bye, I love you, love you
C'était le plus bel été de ma vie
I love you, chéri
Le cœur meurtri, je pars en laissant derrière moi
Tant de peine, tant de jours, tant d'amour avec toi
Bye, bye, I love you, love you
C'était le plus bel été de ma vie
I love you, chéri
Le cœur meurtri, je pars en laissant derrière moi
Tant de peine, tant de jours, tant d'amour avec toi
Mais pour nous partager, regretter, et t'aimer comme avant
Mais pour nous partager, regretter, et s'aimer comme avant

Slipping Through My Fingers
Slipping Through My Fingers
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
First recording/First release by: ABBA - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why I just don't know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers...
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...
