Le Déserteur (Monsieur Le Président)
Le Déserteur (Monsieur Le Président)
Composer(s): H. Berg; Boris Vian
Performer(s): Esther & Abi Ofarim
Monsieur le Président
Je vous fais une lettre
Que vous lirez peut-être
Si vous avez le temps
Je viens de recevoir
Mes papiers militaires
Pour partir à la guerre
Avant mercredi soir
Monsieur le Président
Je ne veux pas la faire
Je ne suis pas sur terre
Pour tuer des pauvres gens
C'est pas pour vous fâcher
Il faut que je vous dise
Ma décision est prise
Je m'en vais déserter
Depuis que je suis né
J'ai vu mourir mon père
J'ai vu partir mes frères
Et pleurer mes enfants
Ma mère a tant souffert
Elle est dedans sa tombe
Et se moque des bombes
Et se moque des vers
Quand j'étais prisonnier
On m'a volé ma femme
On m'a volé mon âme
Et tout mon cher passé
Demain de bon matin
Je fermerai ma porte
Au nez des années mortes
J'irai sur les chemins
Je mendierai ma vie
Sur les routes de France
De Bretagne en Provence
Et je dirai aux gens:
Refusez d'obéir
Refusez de la faire
N'allez pas à la guerre
Refusez de partir
S'il faut donner son sang
Allez donner le vôtre
Vous êtes bon apôtre
Monsieur le Président
Si vous me poursuivez
Prévenez vos gendarmes
Que je n'aurai pas d'armes
Et qu'ils pourront tirer

Almost Human
Almost Human
Composer(s): Ian Gillan - Roger Glover - Jon Lord - Steve Morse - Ian Paice
Performer(s): Deep Purple
Well, I know you're the only one that understands
Afore ye go, before you leave
You always shake my hand
Even when I'm crazy
On fire and naked
Just as Nature intended
No style and easily blended
You always know where I'll be found
I'm hanging somewhere near the ground
Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
I believe I could walk before I learned to crawl
And when I look up, the Devil's looking back
From the mirror on the wall
You can open the door
I got my feet stuck to the floor
I may have lost my way
But I didn't get where I am today
You always know where I'll be found
I'm hanging somewhere near the ground
Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
I'm dreaming
You spin into my empty room
And once again I'm almost human
Almost human
You always know where I'll be found
I'm hanging somewhere near the ground
Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
I'm dreaming
You spin into my empty room
And once again I'm almost human
Almost human

Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd)
Wish You Were Here
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters
Performer(s): Pink Floyd;
and various other artists
So, so you think you can tell?
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for the cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
a walk-on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We´re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
but have we found the same old fears?
Wish you were here

Almost Hear You Sigh
Almost Hear You Sigh
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Steve Jordan - Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
I can almost hear you sigh
I can almost hear you cry
On every crowded street
All the places we would meet
What will I do without you
They say that life goes on
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I can't belive you're gone
You acted much too calm
You turned on all the charm
You had a cold look in your eyes
I can feel your tongue on mine
Silky smooth like wine
I'm living with those memories
That's all that's left of you and me
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
And you turned on all the charm
Acted much too calm
You had a cold look in your eyes
Did it mean nothng
Was it all in vain
Was I just your fool
Or was the pleasure pain
Have you set me free
Or will I wake up
In the morning
And find out it's been a bad dream
Come on, I beg you
I want to be your main man
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you make sweet love to me
Almost see your smile
It stretched half a mile
You had a stone cold look in your eyes

Wish You Were Here (Eddie Fisher)
Wish You Were Here
Composer(s): Harold Rome
Performer(s): Eddie Fisher;
and various other artists
They're not making the skies as blue this year
Wish you were here
As blue as they used to when you were near
Wish you were here
And the mornings don't seem as new
Brand-new as they did with you
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year
Wish you were here
And why did the birds change their song this year
Wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year
Wish you were here
Why did the birds change their song this year
Wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here

Composer(s): Chuck Berry
First release by: Chuck Berry - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Yeah 'n' I'm doin' all right in school
They ain't said I broke no rule
I ain't never been in Dutch
I don't browse around too much
Don't bother me, leave me alone
Anyway I'm almost grown
I don't run around with no mob
Got myself a little job
I'm gonna buy me a little car
Drive my girl in the park
Got my eye on a little girl
Ah, she's really out of this world
When I take her to the dance
She's got to talk about romance
You know I'm still livin' in town
But I done married and settled down
Now I really have a ball
So I don't browse around at all

Wish That You Were Mine
Wish That You Were Mine
Composer(s): Winfred "Blue" Lovett
Performer(s): The Manhattans
Baby, could we have the same table we had yesterday
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh
Here we are again
Sipping our drinks just like friends
I wonder if they see the sparkle in your eyes
I wonder if they know that I'm not your guy, mmm, hmm
I wonder if they see
That you don't belong tome
Wish that you could be mine
Mine, all mine, mmm…mmm…
It'll be hard for him to understand
I am his friend and he is your man
I wonder what my lady would say
If she knew I met you everyday, mmm, hmm
Sooner or later
Don't you know they're gonna find out and they'll hate us
Oh, I wish that you could be mine
Mine, all mine, mmm…
It's 2 a.m., the place is gonna close
The bartender looks as though he knows
Everybody's, everybody's made it home
Here we sit again all alone, mmm, hmm
I've got to get up at 8
Don't you know I've got to explain why I'm so late, mmm…
I wish I didn't have to go home
Whoa…oh…whoa…oh…oh…go home
I wish that you were mine, baby
Oh, I'd give you the world
And every little thing your heart desires

Almost Gothic
Almost Gothic
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan
I'm working on gospel time these days
(The summer - this could be the cool part of the summer)
The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room she's so severe
A wise child walks right out of here
I'm so excited I can barely cope
I'm sizzling like an isotope
I'm on fire so cut me some slack
First she's way gone then she comes back
She's all business then she's ready to play
She's almost gothic in a natural way
This house of desire is built foursquare
(The city - the cleanest kitten in the city)
When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard
I'm hanging on her every word
As if I'm not already blazed enough
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
That's her style - to jerk me around
First she's all feel then she cools down
She's pure science with a splash of black cat
She's almost gothic and I like it like that
This dark place so thrilling and new
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
Unless I'm totally wrong
I hear her rap and brother it's strong
I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies
But I just stand there hypnotized
I'll just have to make it work somehow
I'm in the amen corner now
It's called love - I spell L -U- V
First she's all buzz then she's noise-free
She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say
She's almost gothic in a natural way
She's old school then she's like young
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
She's almost gothic but it's better than that

Verliefd Op Chris Lomme
Verliefd Op Chris Lomme
Performer(s): Kreuners
Ik ben geboren in West-Duitsland
Ik werd verliefd op een meisje uit m'n thuisland
Het was Marieke, ze speelde mee
Ze speelde mee in een serie op TV
Het duurde jaren voor ik wist
Op wie ik toen verliefd was
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
Dat meisje met het blonde haar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Ik was jaloers op alle schippers
Ik was jaloers op alle schippers naast Mathilde
Terwijl mijn broers met me lachten
Zat ik op haar te wachten
Ik wou haar alles, alles geven
Al mijn geld en als het moest mijn jonge leven
Onze romance was erg kort
Ze liet me staan voor Axel Nort
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
Dat meisje met het blonde haar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Het duurde jaren voor ik wist
Op wie ik toen verliefd was
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
Dat meisje met het blonde haar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
'k Was toen een man van negen jaar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
Dat meisje met het blonde haar
Ik was verliefd op Chris Lomme
'k Was toen een man van negen jaar

Almost But Not Quite There
Composer(s): Barlow - Francis Rossi
Performer(s): Status Quo; Traffic Jam
I want to have you here with me
To cuddle up so near to me
And do the things you like me to do to you
You like it when I tickle you
We start to kiss it pleases you
It gets so hot, I just don't know what to do
To take you when you're feelin' good
To love you like I know I should
It makes me feel all of ten feet tall
So I just try to give to you
All that I can to satisfy you
I don't like to leave you girl
Almost but not quite there
So I just try to give to you
All that I can to satisfy you
I don't like to leave you girl
Almost but not quite there
Now when I finally get to you
I'm gonna put my love to you
And then I'll see just how good you are
So I've got to have you here with me
To cuddle up so near to me
And do the things you like me to do to you
So I just try to give to you
All that I can to satisfy you
I don't like to leave you girl
Almost but not quite there

Zwarte Lola
Composer(s): Johnny Hoes
Performer(s): Annie Heuts
Ja ik ben Lola Zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Rode lippen, zwarte nylons
En een massa krullend haar

Heeft u complexen
Wilt u relaxen
Kom dan bij Lola in de bar
Komt u met velen
't kan mij niet schelen
Dat is voor Lola geen bezwaar
Want in mijn hart zijn heel wat plaatsjes vrij
Dus zoekt u troost
Kom dan gerust bij mij
Want ik ben Lola Zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Rode lippen, zwarte nylons
En een massa krullend haar
Willen de heren zich amuseren
Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar
Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Willen de heren zich amuseren
Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar
Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar

Almost Blue
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
First release by: Elvis Costello & The Attractions - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue

Wish Me Well
Wish Me Well
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum; Elderberry Jak
You know I caught a glimpse, thought I understood
But I left it all far behind
Now if I'd known then what I know now
Do you think I would've been so blind?
Gonna take myself down to a wishing well
I'm gonna make myself one last wish
And if you follow me there, better bring what you've found
'Cause my night has come and I'm going down
Gonna buy myself a big rockin' chair
And when I'm sittin' in that, then no one will peek
And if my friends will come, they'll see what I'm suffering from
I wish, I wish, I could rock myself to sleep
Gonna take myself down to a wishing well
Gonna make myself one last wish
If you follow me there, better bring what you've found
'Cause my night has come and I'm going down

Composer(s): Fred Wise - Ben Weisman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1961
I was always, baby, I was always
Well almost always true to you
Met a pretty mademoiselle
Her papa owned a small hotel
Oh, I was almost always true to you
I resisted, tho' my arm was twisted
I was almost always true to you
Stayed away from drinkin' wine
Thought about you all the time
Oh, I was almost always true to you
Kept refusin', don't jump to conclusions
I was almost always true to you
I would never grab like this
I would never steal a kiss
Oh, I was almost always true to you
I was almost always true to you

Meisjes Met Rode Haren
Meisjes Met Rode Haren
Performer(s): Arne Jansen
Ja, ja, ja, meisjes met rode haren
die kunnen kussen, dat is niet mis
Meisjes met rode haren, kunnen je zeggen wat liefde is
Ja, ja, ja, meisjes met rode haren, kunnen je zeggen, als je ze kent
Of je de grote liefde, de grote liefde voor altijd bent
Toen ik daar lag op mijn balkon
Zag ik haar liggen in de zon
Ze was heel mooi, ja dat is waar
Maar het mooiste was haar rode haar
Die mooie tijd ging snel voorbij
Het lag aan haar en niet aan mij
Ze was heel mooi, ja dat is waar
Maar 't mooiste was haar rode haar

Almost
Almost
Composer(s): Paul Humphreys - Andy McCluskey
First release by: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - 1979
I'd travel oh so far
To be where you are
I'd travel there by car
To be where you are
But if I get there I'd find
That I'd change my mind
It happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Always making statements
And moving step by step
Always acting theories
I will regret
My only consolation
In the things that I've done
Are the people who know me
And the objects I own
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
