(Don't Ever Take The) Ribbons From Your Hair
(Don't Ever Take The) Ribbons From Your Hair
Composer(s): Helen Hudgins
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
Don't ever take the ribbons from your hair
Each tiny bow is tied with loving care
You're pretty as a picture and I love each precious curl
Your Mommy's little problem, but your Daddy's little girl
You'll never grow too old to wear your bows
They'll always match your little turned up nose
And even when you grow to be like Mommy, sweet and fair
Don't ever take the ribbons from your hair
Don't ever take the ribbons from your hair
And never lose that precious baby's stare
You're lighter than a feather when I bounce you on my knee
You're Daddy's little angel and that's what you'll always be
Those silken strands of ribbon match your eyes
They're bluer than the blue up in the skies
Your Daddy feels as wealthy as the richest millionaire
Don't ever take the ribbons from your hair

Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver
Here I am closing my eyes again
Trying so hard not to see
All the things that I see
Almost willing to lie again
I swear that it just isn’t so
It just isn’t me
We are never alone
Even though we’d like to be
Then I go and open my eyes again
Love in your eyes is the thing
That I’d most like to see
I’d be willing to die again
To know of a place and a time
Where it always could be
To be always with you
And you always with me
This is my autograph
Here is the songs I sing
Here is my cry and my laugh
Here is the love that I bring
To be always with you
And you always with me
Say a prayer and open your heart again
You are the love and the life
That we all need to see
Always willing to shine and then
Peace on this earth is the way
That it always can be
To be always with you
And you always with me
This is my autograph
Here is the songs I sing
Here is my cry and my laugh
Here is the love that I bring
To be always with you
And you always with me

Don't Ever Love Me
Don't Ever Love Me
Composer(s): Lord Burgess
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte
While in that gay tropic isle
I first saw that maiden smile
Though I had failed in the past
I said "this is true love at last"
But then she whispered to me
That our love never could be
Destiny, oh when will I see the day?
Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free"
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me"
My love was motion and grace
The moonlight soft on her face
I held her close in my arms
My heart was quick to her charms
But then I saw in her glance
It was just an evening's romance
Destiny, oh when will I see the day?
Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free"
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me"
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me"

Autobiographie
Autobiographie
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
J'ai ouvert les yeux sur un meublé triste
Rue Monsieur Le Prince au Quartier Latin
Dans un milieu de chanteurs et d'artistes
Qu'avaient un passé, pas de lendemain
Des gens merveilleux un peu fantaisistes
Qui parlaient le russe et puis l'arménien
Si mon père était chanteur d'opérette
Nanti d'une voix que j'envie encore
Ma mère tenait l'emploi de soubrette
Et le troupe ne roulait pas sur l'or
Mais ma sœur et moi étions à la fête
Blottis dans un coin derrière un décor
Tous ces comédiens chargés de famille
Mais dont le français était hésitant
Devaient accepter pour gagner leur vie
Le premier emploi qui était vacant
Conduire un taxi ou tirer l'aiguille
Ça pouvait se faire avec un accent
Après le travail les jours de semaine
Ces acteurs frustrés répétaient longtemps
Pour le seul plaisir un soir par quinzaine
De s'offrir l'oubli des soucis d'argent
Et crever de trac en entrant en scène
Devant un public formé d'émigrants
Quand les fins de mois étaient difficiles
Quand il faisait froid, qui le pain manquait
On allait souvent honteux et fébrile
Au Mont de piété où l'on engageait
Un vieux samovar, des choses futiles
Objets du passé, auxquels on tenait
On parlait de ceux morts près du Bosphore
Buvait à la vie, buvait aux copains
Les femmes pleuraient et jusqu'aux aurores
Les hommes chantaient quelques vieux refrains
Qui venaient de loin, du fond d'un folklore
Où vivaient la mort, l'amour et le vin
Nous avions toujours des amies à table
Le peu qu'on avait on le partageait
Mes parents disaient: "Ce serait le diable
Si demain le ciel ne nous le rendait"
Ce n'est pas là geste charitable
Ils aimaient les autres et Dieu nous aidaient
Tandis que devant poêles et casseroles
Mon père cherchait sa situation
Jour et nuit sous une lampe à pétrole
Ma mère brodait pour grande maison
Et nous avant que d'aller à l'école
Faisions le ménage et les commissions
Ainsi je grandis sans contrainte aucune
Me soûlant la nuit, travaillant le jour
Ma vie a connu diverses fortunes
J'ai frôlé la mort, j'ai trouvé l'amour
J'ai eu des enfants qui m'ont vu plus d'une
Fois me souvenir le cœur un peu lourd
Rue Monsieur Le Prince au Quartier Latin
Dans un milieu de chanteurs et d'artistes
Qu'avaient un passé, pas de lendemain
Des gens merveilleux un peu fantaisistes
Qui parlaient le russe et puis l'arménien

Don't Ever Leave Me (Paul Anka)
Don't Ever Leave Me
Composer(s): Paul Anka; Joe Sherman
Performer(s): Paul Anka
Don't ever leave me, don't say good-bye
If you do, I'll be the lonely one
I'll sit down and I will cry
Don't ever tell me, don't say we're through
If you do, I'll be the lonely one
I'll sit down and I'll cry over you
No matter what you should say to me
no matter what you'll do, it would be nothing at all to me
because I'm so in love with you
I love you, don't ever change dear
no, don't say we're through
If you do, I'll be the lonely one
and I'll sit down and I'll cry over you
and I'll sit down and I'll cry over you

Autobiografia
Performer(s): Perfect
Mialem dziesiec lat, gdy uslyszal o nim swiat
W mej piwnicy byl nasz klub
Kumpel radio zniósl, uslyszalem "Blues Sued Shoes"
I nie moglem w nocy spac
Wiatr odnowy wial, darowano reszty kar
Znów sie mozna bylo smiac
W kawiarniany gwar jak tornado jazz sie wdarl
I ja tez chcialem grac
Ojciec, Bóg wie gdzie, martenowski stawial piec
Mnie paznokiec z palca zszedl
Z gryfu zostal wiór, gralem milion róznych bzdur
I poznalem co to seks
Pocztówkowy szal, kazdy z nas ich piecset mial
Zamiast nowej pary dzins
A w sobotnia noc byl Luksemburg, chata, szklo
Jakze sie chcialo zyc!
Bylo nas trzech, w kazdym z nas inna krew
Ale jeden przyswiecal nam cel
Za kilka lat miec u stóp caly swiat, wszystkiego w bród
Alpagi lyk i dyskusje po swit
Niecierpliwy w nas ciskal sie duch
Ktos dostal w nos, to poplakal sie ktos, cos dzialo sie
Poróznila nas, za jej Poli Raksy twarz
Kazdy by sie zabic dal
W pewna letnia noc, gdzies na dach wynioslem koc
I dostalem to, com chcial
Powiedziala mi, ze klopoty moga byc
Ja jej, ze egzamin mam
Odkrecila gaz, nie zapukal nikt na czas
Znów jak pies bylem sam
Stu róznych ról, czym ugasic mój ból
Nauczylo mnie zycie jak nikt
W wyrku na wznak przechlapalem swój czas, najlepszy czas
W knajpie dla braw klezmer kazal mi grac
Takie rzeczy, ze jeszcze mi wstyd
Pewnego dnia zrozumialem, ze ja nie umiem nic
Sluchaj mnie, tam, pokonalem sie sam
Oto wysnil sie wielki mój sen
Tysieczny tlum spija slowa z mych ust, kochaja mnie
W hotelu fan mówi: "Na tasmie mam
To, jak w gardlach im rodzi sie spiew!"
Otwieram drzwi i nie mówie juz nic do czterech scian

Performer(s): Warren Hull
and multiple other artists
Don`t ever change
Just stay the way you are tonight
You`re just exactly right, sweetheart
Don`t ever change
Let`s live and love and go along
Let`s keep our lives a song, sweetheart
Oh, I would rather see the ocean
Change its motion, and cease to flow
I`d rather see the showers change
The flowers, so they won`t grow
Don`t ever change in anything you say or do
Just be the same sweet you, sweetheart

First release by: The Crickets - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
You never wear a suit of lace
the powder's not on your face
You're always wearing jeans
except on Sunday
So please don't ever change
no don't you ever change
I kind of like you
just the way you are
You don't know the latest dance
but when it's time to make romance
your kisses let me know
you're not a tomboy
So please don't ever change
no don't you ever change
Promise you're always gonna be
as sweet as you are
I love you when you're happy
I love you when you're blue
I love you when you're mad at me
so how can I get tired of you?
A lots of other girls I've seen
they know how to treat guys mean
But you would rather die
than ever hurt me
So please don't ever change
no don't you ever change
Just promise you're always gonna be
as sweet as you are
Please don't ever change
don't you ever change
Please don't ever change
don't you ever change

Composer(s): John Cougar Mellencamp
First release by: John Cougar Mellencamp - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smile in your face
They think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think it's a total disgrace
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid
I come out grinnin'
I fight authority, Authority always wins
So I call up my preacher
I say, "Give me strength for Round 5"
He said , "You don't need no strength, you need to grow up son"
I said, "Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying
"And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun"
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid
I come out grinnin'
I fight authority, Authority always wins
Oh no oh no
I fight authority Authority always wins
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I fight authority, Authority always wins
I been doing it since I was a young kid
I come out grinnin'
I fight authority, Authority always wins

Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa
Dreamed I was an Eskimo
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frozen wind began to blow
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Under my boots 'n around my toe
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frost had bit the ground below
(Boop-boop aiee-ay-ah!)
Was a hundred degrees below zero
(Booh!)
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
And my momma cried
Boo-a-hoo hoo-ooo
And my momma cried
Nanook-a, no no (no no...)
Nanook-a, no no (no no...)
Don't be a naughty Eskimo-wo-oh
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Save your money: don't go to the show
Well I turned around an' I said
Ho Ho
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an' I said
Ho Ho
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an' I said
Ho Ho
An' the Northern Lites commenced t' glow
An' she said
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop...)
With a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go
An' don't you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go
An' don't you eat that yellow snow

Autant D'amour Autant De Fleurs
Autant D'amour Autant De Fleurs
Composer(s): Henri Bassis
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Il y a dans Harlem
À se manger des yeux
Un couple d'amoureux
Qui dansent et quand ils s'aiment
La nuit moule leurs corps
Leurs gestes et leurs phrases
Et leur rire est sonore
Comme un sanglot de jazz
Autant d'amour autant de fleurs
Y'en a de toutes les couleurs
De flamme ou d'ombre
De neige ou miel
Toutes les roses se confondent
Tous les amours qui sont au monde
Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel
Il y a dans mon coeur
Un cocktail d'amoureux
J'invente les aveux
Je mêle les liqueurs
Il est noir elle est blanche
Elle est jeune il est beau
La main le long des hanches
Glisse comme un oiseau
Autant d'amour autant de fleurs
Y'en a de toutes les couleurs
De flamme ou d'ombre
De neige ou miel
Toutes les roses se confondent
Tous les amours qui sont au monde
Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel
Qu'importent au long des rues
Les regards qui s'attardent
Qu'importent les échardes
Aux amours défendues
Il y a dans mon coeur
Libres comme les dieux
Un couple d'amoureux
Qui croise ses couleurs
Autant d'amour autant de fleurs
Y'en a de toutes les couleurs
De flamme ou d'ombre
De neige ou miel
Toutes les roses se confondent
Tous les amours qui sont au monde
Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel

Australia Land Of Today
Composer(s): Judith Durham
Performer(s): Judith Durham
Australia land of today, every way
We'll sing your praise as a country far and wide
We'll sing of loving and living here each day
We'll tell the world of endless beauty
And the sun that warms our way
Australia land of today, every way
We'll take the cares of the world within our stride
When there are troubles we'll always lend a hand
And we will love you because you are our land
And in days of strife and woe
There's no better way to show
That Australia is great among them all
Than to care for everyone
Every colour, we're all one
We're Australian - so never let them fall
Australia land of today, we will pray
That there could always be peace within your shores
The Aussie spirit's riding high and our voices fill the sky
That Australia's a great place to be
And Australian are we, you and me

Don't Drop Inn/Workin' On My Attitude
Don't Drop Inn/Workin' On My Attitude
Composer(s): Judy Freudberg - Tony Geiss - Van Dyke Parks
Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap
"Meanwhile everyone from Sesame Street
was trying to find Big Bird
Even me; I love a wild goose chase
One night we ate at a real grunge café
with grunge food and grunge..."
Here I really feel great
When I sing the blues and make you cry
Bye bye
Guess I was born to be
A dark cloud in a sunny sky
...
If I can't make it rain on your parade
I shouldn't be so rude
And I'm workin' on my attitude
Anti-sociable, unemotional, insensitive
Right down to the bone
My personality has possibility
Only a flaw or two
So I'm workin' on my attitude
There's nothing like a friend
Who'll... for hours on end and never smiles
... affection
... and disrespect in style
Say, life's a piece of cake
And I don't watch my weight at all
Lessee
I approach you somewhat rude
But I'm workin' on my attitude
Anti-sociable, unemotional, insensitive
Right down to the bone
My personality has possibility
Only a flaw or two
And I'm workin' on my attitude

Australia
Australia
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): Steve Howe
Play the halls
See the stalls tonight
Open roads the like
Across the dateline change will never strike
Australia lies ahead
Australia, we head for the mainland
Clutching our gifts from the East
Only to find out
Planes and the highways
Strain the paths and the by-ways
Remain, still it's leading me
Closer to you
Australia, we're leaving you behind
Australia, we're taking the easy way out
From now on
"Come to," can't get away from ya still
"Come to, we'll take good care of ya"
Australia, you save your face while fashions slip
Australia, you're balanaced between
The powers' tightening grip
I've been to, it's a long way for ya still
"Go via, they'll take care of ya"

Don't Do Me Like That
Composer(s): Tom Petty
First release by: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - 1979
I was talkin' with a friend of mine
Said a woman done hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so, then
Turned around and let him go
Then he said "you'd better watch your step"
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday I'll need ya baby
Don't do me like that
Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is sayin'
Love doesn't last that long...
I have the feeling inside, Lord I don't need it
I know I can't take it no more....
Someday I'll need ya baby
Don't do me like that
Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that

Aussi Vivant
Aussi Vivant
Composer(s): Carla Bruni - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Sans vouloir vraiment
Sans intention
Sans poser l'ombre d'une question
Comme en passant
Sans qu'il soit trop tard
Sans déraison
Sans s'inquiéter de n'pas savoir
Sans se dire non
Se laisser glisser très tendrement
Se chavirer tout simplement
Le corps brûlant
Rien de la vie
Rien ne me laisse
Aussi vivant
Aussi vivant
Sans se dire pourquoi
Et sans comment
Sans s'envelopper de faux-semblants
Et sans contrat
Se laisser aimer très doucement
Et s'emmêler obstinément
À leurs tourments
Rien de la vie
Rien ne me laisse
Aussi vivant
Aussi vivant
Se laisser glisser très tendrement
Se chavirer tout simplement
Se laisser aimer très doucement
Et s'emmêler obstinément
Sans vouloir toujours tellement frémir
Sans se convaincre de l'amour sans s'éblouir
Se serrer tout contre cet instant
Se laisser jouer tout simplement
Comme des enfants
Rien de la vie
Rien ne me laisse
Aussi vivant
Aussi vivant
Rien de la vie
Vaut qu'on se lasse
D'être vivant
Se laisser glisser très tendrement
Se chavirer tout simplement
Se laisser aimer très doucement
Et s'emmêler obstinément
