Stressé


Stressé
Composer(s): Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



C'est pas tout ça mais faut qu'on se cause
Mais t'as pas l'temps faut que tu t'sauves
T'es pressée
T'es stressée
Tu passes devant moi, tu ne m'vois pas
J'te parle, tu ne m'écoutes même pas
Oppressée
T'es stressée
Y a pas que les grands de ce Monde
Qui flippent, qui sentent pas les ondes
Le stress a atteint toutes les couches de la Société
Y a peut-être encore dans le Tiers-Monde
Une famine par seconde
Mais nous on s'inquiète de grossir, faut nous materner
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
Cassé casse-tête guitare vidéo
Tue ta télé, toi tu es claustro
Je veux t'aimer
Sans stresser
On n'explique pas l'inexplicable
Comme j'sais pas faire tourner les tables
J'vais t'quitter
J'vais t'quitter
Y a pas que les grands de ce Monde
Qui flippent, qui sentent pas les ondes
Le stress a atteint toutes les couches de la Société
De la princesse au plombier
Gratte pas, le vernis peut craquer
Le Monde a besoin d'un lifting pour décompresser
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé
J'suis stressé

You And I (Queen)


You And I
Composer(s): John Deacon
Performer(s): Queen



Music is playing in the darkness
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering
My heart's jittering
Just you and I
Not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's sunny and bright
No No No
Come tomorrow
Cos then we'll be waiting for the moonlight

We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight

Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don't mean a thing
When you're by my side
Please stay a while

You know I never could foresee the future years
You know I never could see
where life was leading me
But will we be together for ever
What will be my love, can't you see that I just don't know

No no not tonight
Come tomorrow
When everything's gonna be alright
Wait and see
If tomorrow
We'll be as happy as we're feeling tonight

We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight

I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where to lie
No more questions now
Let's enjoy tonight
Just you and I
Just you and I

Streets Of London


Streets Of London
Composer(s): Ralph McTell
First release by: Ralph McTell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1973 - Straßen Unserer Stadt
2001 - Op Straat



Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hands held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
The same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone

So how can you tell me that you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
In our city winter the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which doesn't care

So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Look at us, we're sharing
The love that we're both wearing
Happy to be caring for two

You and I
With nowhere else to go
We never say goodbye, love

Op Straat


Op Straat
((Adapted from: Streets Of London (by Ralph McTell) - 1969))
((German Version: Straßen Unserer Stadt (by Jasmine Bonnin - 1973))
Composer(s): Ralph McTell - Guus Meeuwis
Performer(s): Guus Meeuwis & Vagant - 2001



Zie je daar die oude man
graaiend in een vuilnisbak
zoekend naar iets bruikbaars
voor in zijn oude plastic zak
net iets teveel meegemaakt
waardoor hij dakloos is geraakt
praat in zichzelf
over hoe het vroeger was

En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

Zie je daar dat meisje
ze is net zeventien
heeft nu al zo`n tien jaar
haar ouders niet gezien
muurtje om zich heen gebouwd
omdat ze niemand meer vertrouwt
vraag je haar naar liefde
dan noemt ze jou een prijs

En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

Zie je daar die oude vrouw
die rustig voor de regen schuilt
deze bui is minder
dan de tranen die ze heeft gehuild
die vroeger een gezin bezat
maar later klap op klap gehad
nu sjouwt ze haar verleden
in een zelfgemaakte tas

En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

Zie je daar die jongeman
hij is bijna al zijn tanden kwijt
hij beet zich stuk
op het vergif van deze tijd
elk uur een marteling
altijd zoekend naar één ding
kruipt eens per dag door het oog van de naald

En dan zeg jij
dat je eenzaam bent
omdat het even tegen zit
loop even met me door de stad
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
dan zal je zien
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat

You And I (Kenny Rogers)


You And I
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



All the man I am
You are the reason for me
You help me understand
I'll be your shelter from the rain that never ends
Girl, you've always got a friend in me

All the love we had
I should've know our love was older than the past
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard
Just the speaking of a single word
I made you die inside but you loved me

And don't believe the world
No, the world can't give us paradise
When you make your love to me
Till I just could not see the light
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I

I won't let you down
No better love will be there when you turn around
I'll be living for you till the ocean turns to sand
There will never be any man
Could love you just the way that I love you

So don't believe the world
No, the world can't give up paradise
In the eye within the storm
Just when I could not make it through the night
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I

Composer(s): Ralph McTell - Christian Heilburg
Performer(s): Jasmine Bonnin - 1973



Siehst du dort den alten Mann mit ausgetret'nen Schuh'n
schlurft er über's Pflaster, und er sieht so müde aus
Hin und wieder hält er an, nicht nur um sich auszuruh'n
denn er hat kein Ziel und auch kein Zuhaus

Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind

Kennst du die alte Frau, die auf dem Marktplatz steht
mit schneeweißem Haar, welke Blumen in der Hand?
Die Leute geh'n vorbei, sie merkt nicht, wie die Zeit vergeht
So steht sie jeden Tag und niemand stört sich daran

Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich uns're Straßen
Ic zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind

Im Bahnhofsrestaurante sitzt um ein Uhr in der Frühe
derselbe alte Mann und er sitzt ganz allei
Er ist der letzte Gast, und das Aufsteh'n macht ihm Mühe
fünf leere Stunden, fünf leere Gläser Wein

Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich zeig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind.

Siehst du dort den altenMann, mit ausgetret'nen Schuh'n
schlurft er über's Pflaster, und er sieht so müde aus
Denn in einer Welt, in der nur Jugend zählt
ist für ihn kein Platz mehr und kein Zuhaus

Doch du redest nur von Einsamkeit, und dass die Sonne für dich scheint
Komm und gib mir deine Hand, ich führe dich durch uns're Straßen
Ich eig dir Menschen, die wircklich einsam sind

You And I (Glenn Miller)


You And I
Composer(s): Meredith Wilson
Performer(s): Glenn Miller;
and various other artists



Poet and musician sing the same old tune
To the sweethearts that come and go
Let your intuition aided by the moon
Tell you little things the poet doesn't know

Darling, you and I know the reason why a summer sky is blue
And we know why birds in the trees sing melodies too
And why love will grow from the first "hello" until the last "goodbye"
So to sweet romance, there is just one answer, you and I

Darling, you and I know the reason why a summer sky is blue

And why love will grow from the first "hello" until the last "goodbye"
So to sweet romance, there is just one answer, you and I

Streets Of Laredo


Streets Of Laredo
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Faro Burke & The Dealers - 1960
and multiple other artists



As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

"Oh beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly
Singy the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and know I´ve done wrong"

"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die!"

"My friends and relations they live in the Nation
They know not where their dear boy has gone
I first came to Texas and hired to a ranchman
Oh I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong"

"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
It was once in the saddle I used to go gay
First to the dram house and then to the card house
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today"

"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
Put roses to deaden the sods as they fall"

"Go gather around you a group of young cowboys
And tell them the story of this my sad fate
Tell one and the other before they go further
To stop their wild roving before it's too late"

"Oh, bury me beside my knife and my shooter
My spurs on my heels, my rifle by my side
And over my coffin put a bottle of brandy
That the cowboys may drink as they carry me along"

"Go fetch me some water, a cool cup of water
To cool my parched lips," the poor cowboy then said
Before I returned his spirit had left him
Had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was dead

We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept as we bore him along
For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome
We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong

You Always Hurt The One You Love


You Always Hurt The One You Love
Composer(s): Doris Fisher; Allan Roberts
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers;
and various other artists



You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
Crush it 'till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

Ch'era sempre nel mio cuor

Ora il sogno è vero
Perche son solo con te

Streets Of Bakersfield


Streets Of Bakersfield
Composer(s): Homer Joy
First release by: Buck Owens and his Buckaroos - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself

I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
I've worn holes in both my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of Bakersfield

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Spent some time in San Francisco
Spent a night there in the can
They throw this drunk man in my jail cell
Took fifteen dollars from that man

Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and
I headed for the streets of Bakersfield

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

How many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn;
and various other artists



You've come to tell me something
you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore
and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him
oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

Women like you they're a dime a dozen
you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body
so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

(Instrumental Break)

Sometimes a man starts lookin'
at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you
but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where that leaves you
oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man

Women like you they're a dime a dozen
you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body
so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

No you ain't woman enough to take my man

Street Fighting Man


Street Fighting Man
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy
But what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
No

Hey! Think the time is right for a palace revolution
'Cause where I live the game to play is compromise solution
Well, then what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's no place for a street fighting man
No

Hey! Said my name is called disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants
Well, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's no place for a street fighting man
No

You Ain't Going Nowhere

Performer(s): Bob Dylan;

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent*

You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!


*(other version by Dylan:
Pack up your money, pull up your tent, McGuinn, you ain't going nowhere)

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close

Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pack up your money
And pick up your tent*

You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!


*(other version : Pack up your money, pull up your tent)
