Third World


Third World
Composer(s): Arthur Kent - Roy C. Bennett
Performer(s): Johnny & Jonie Mosby



The fool's in my world, the blind in your world
They always say we're different and try to keep us apart
Let's build a third world, our own kind of third world
A place where all that matters will be the love in our hearts

Let's build a third world, a beautiful third world
A world where all that counts is love
We'll build a third world, a beautiful third world
A world where all that counts is love

We meet in secret and kiss in shadow
Why must we go on hiding our love so no one can see
I dream that someday we'll walk in the sunshine
And when our new tomorrow comes back the way it will be

We'll build a third world, a beautiful third world
A world where all that counts is love
We'll build a third world, a beautiful third world
A world where all that counts is love

Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.)


Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.)
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert - Brian Potter
Performer(s): Glen Campbell



Livin' in the city
Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on
But the job demands that you make new plans
Before your big chance is gone

You get a house in the hills
You're payin' everyone's bills
And they tell you that you're gonna go far
But in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is that who you really are?"

Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home

Talkin' on the telephone
Settin' up another day of people to meet
You've gotta do what's right
You've gotta spend the night
Stayin' in touch with the street
When you're surrounded by friends
They say the fun never ends
But I guess I'll never figure it out
'Cause in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is this what it's all about?"

Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home

Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home ...

J'Ai Eu Tort


J'Ai Eu Tort
Composer(s): J. Albertini; J. Denjean
Performer(s): Christophe



J'ai eu tort de ne pas croire en toi
Surtout ne m'en veut pas
Je ne t'oublierai pas
J'ai eu tort de te jouer la comédie
Je t'en supplie crois-moi
Je te pleure aujourd'hui
Je suis seul mais je suis incapable
De promener ma vie
Au long des heures qui courent
Je suis seul mais je suis incapable
De donner mon avis à ces gens qui m'entourent
J'ai eu tort de te faire du cinéma
De jouer le drôle de gars
Qui n'a besoin de personne
J'ai eu tort de te crier souvent
Je t'en supplie va-t'en
Je t'aimais bien pourtant
Je suis seul mais je suis incapable
De promener ma vie
Au long des heures qui courent
Je suis seul mais je suis incapable
De donner mon avis à ces gens qui m'entourent
J'ai eu tort de te faire mon numéro
Je savais qu'avec toi il prendrait chaque fois
J'ai eu tort de t'avoir fait pleurer
Mais je le reconnais laisse moi regretter
J'ai eu tort de te jouer la comédie
Je t'en supplie crois-moi
Je te pleure aujourd'hui
J'ai eu tort de te faire mon numéro
Je savais qu'avec toi il prendrait chaque fois
J'ai eu tort de te jouer la comédie
Je t'en supplie crois-moi je te pleure aujourd'hui...

Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
First release by: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Starfleet to scoutship, please give your position
Over
I'm in orbit around the third planet from the star called the sun
Over
You mean its the earth?
Over
Positive
It is known to have some form of intelligent species
Over
I think we should take a look

Strange beautiful grass of green
With your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine

Strange beautiful grass of green
With your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine

Although your world wonders me
With your majestic and superior cackling hen
Your people I do not understand
So to you I shall put an end
And you'll
Never hear
Surf music again

Secret
Oh, secret
Oh
Shhhh...

Country Boy (Ricky Skaggs)


Country Boy
Composer(s): Tony Colton; Albert Lee; Raymond Smith
Performer(s): Ricky Skaggs



I may look like a city slicker
Shinin' up through his shoes
Underneath I'm just a cotton picker
Pickin' out a mess of blues

Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart

I may look like a bank teller
Pushing facts in a file
But I'd rather be a haul collar
Shooing foot home in style

Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart

I may look like a city slicker
Shinin' up through his shoes
Underneath I'm just a cotton picker
Pickin' out a mess of blues

Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart

J'Ai Eu Ma Dose
Composer(s): P. Breslin; J. Top; S. Perathoner
Performer(s): Nicoletta



J'ai fait la malle
Du meilleur et du pire
A part égale
C'est suffisant à dire
J'ai eu ma dose

La journée s'achève
Et c'est chacun pour soi
Le vent qui se lève
Me ramene à toi
J'ai eu ma dose

J'ai tracé la route
J'ai brîlé tous les feux
Sans la patience ni la confiance en Dieu
Mais ça, c'est, oui, tout ça, c'est, c'est du passé

J'ai eu ma dose
Des romans roses
J'ai envie
Que l'on vive
Tellement d'autres choses

Jusqu'au bout de la nuit
Jusqu'au bout des doigts
Tout le long de la vie
Envie de toi

J'ai eu ma dose
Des romans roses
J'ai envie
Que l'on vive
Tellement d'autres choses

Jusqu'au bout de la nuit
Jusqu'au bout des doigts
Tout le long de la vie
J'ai envie de toi

J'ai eu ma dose
Des romans roses
J'ai envie de toi...
J'ai envie de toi.
J'ai eu ma dose...
J'ai envie
Que l'on vive
Autre chose

Jusqu'au bout de la nuit
Jusqu'au bout des doigts
Tout le long de la vie
Envie de toi

J'ai eu ma dose
J'ai envie
Que l'on vive
D'autres choses...

Third Rate Romance


Third Rate Romance
Composer(s): Russell Smith
First release by: Jesse Winchester - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



Sittin' in a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant
She was starin' at her coffee cup
He was tryin' to keep his courage up
By applyin' booze

And talk was small when they talked at all
They both knew what they wanted
There was no need to talk about it
They were old enough to scope it out
And keep it loose

She said, "You don't look like my type
But I guess you'll do"
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And he said, "I'll even tell you that I love you
If you want me to"
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous

When they left the bar
They got in his car
And they drove away
He drove to the family inn
She didn't even have to pretend
She didn't know what for

And he went to the desk
And made his request
While she waited outside
Then he came back with the key
She said, "Give it to me
And I'll unlock the door"

She kept saying
"I've never really done this kind of thing before, have you"
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And he said, "Yes I have
But only a time or two"
Third rate romance
Low rent redezvous

Country Boy (Fats Domino)


Country Boy
Composer(s): Antoine "Fats" Domino; Dave Bartholomew
Performer(s): Fats Domino



Have you heard the story, of a little country boy?
He is always happy and full of joy
Nothing in this world, that he's thinking of
All he really cares for is the one he loves
And the moon above
Stars above
Heaven above
That is all he thinking of
Now you heard my story, darling can't you see
That little country boy, happens to be me

Have you heard the story, of the little country boy?
He is always happy and full of joy
Nothing in this world that he's thinking of
All he really cares for is the one he love
And the moon above
Stars above

Now you heard my story, darling can't you see
That little country boy, happens to be me

J'Ai Épousé Une Ombre


J'Ai Épousé Une Ombre
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Un jour comme aujourd'hui
Ou les rues étaient sombre
J'ai épousé une ombre
Sans savoir qui elle était
Du temps où je me battais
Contre des ombres

Je l'ai vu sous la pluie
Dans l'éclair de ma lame
Ses yeux étaient de flamme
Au matin de cette nuit
J'ai dit tu seras ma femme
Elle a dit oui

Ses silences, ses absences
Sa défense, ma souffrance
Ma lame je voudrais qu'elle entre
Qu'elle entre
Jusqu'à la gare dans le ventre
Des hommes qu'elles regardent

Un jour sur cette terre
J'ai épousé une ombre
Une femme mystère
Passagère et solitaire
D'où vient-elle
Et qui est-elle
Mais qui est-elle

Une fille comme cette fille
Met le soleil à l'ombre
J'ai épousé une ombre
Qui me suit et qui s'évade
Prisonnière de nomades
J'en suis malade

Ses silences, ses absences
Sa défense, ma souffrance
Je ne suis pas dans ses rêves
Et j'en crève
Je les hais et les poignarde
Des hommes qu'elles regardent

Un jour sur cette terre
J'ai épousé une ombre
Une femme mystère
Passagère et solitaire
D'où vient-elle
Et qui est-elle
Mais qui est-elle

D'où vient-elle
Et qui est-elle
Mais qui est-elle

Thinking Of You (Lewis James)


Thinking Of You
Composer(s): Harry Ruby - Bert Kalmar
Performer(s): Lewis James
and multiple other artists



Why is it I spend the day
Wake up and end the day
Thinking of you

Oh, why does it do this to me
Is it such bliss to be
Thinking of you

And when I fall asleep at night, it seems
You just tiptoe into all my dreams

So, I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun
Thinking of you

Why is it I spend the day
Wake up and end the day
Thinking of you

Oh, why does it do this to me
Is it such bliss to be
Thinking of you

And when I fall asleep at night, it seems
You just tiptoe into all my dreams

So, I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun
Thinking of you

Country Baptizing


Country Baptizing
Performer(s): Gram Parsons & the Fallen Angels



Travelling down a country road on
a Sunday morning
Saw a crowd gathered at the creek
at a little country farm
I thought that I'd go closer so
I might see and hear
Why they looked so happy there
without a thing to fear

Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek

I heard an old and gentle voice
say right at the end
We're so glad to have you here
Welcome down, my friends
We've had a big revival, sir
down to the wheat
Now we're having a country baptizing
down at the creek

Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek

Well among them happy I'll be
Among that happy throng
See them all go air their sins
while they're at their own
They seem to be saying
with smiles on their face
Some day when I move along
to my resting place

Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek

Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek

Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek

J'Ai Entendu La Mer


J'Ai Entendu La Mer
Composer(s): Christophe
Performer(s): Christophe



Châteaux de sable sont écroulés
La plage est sale d'amours fanés
La ville est pleine de place vides
La route de guet s'est endormie

{Refrain:}
J'ai entendu la mer
Souvent me fredonner
Tu sais je m'ennuie l'hiver!
Pourquoi passe-t-il l'été?

Bateau perdu cherche son maître
Qui lui rendra la liberté
Le port le tient dans sa cachette
Et lui promet de la retrouver

{au Refrain}

Châteaux de sable sont écroulés
La plage est sale d'amours fanés
Bateau perdu cherche son maître
Qui lui rendra la liberté

{au Refrain, 2x}

Thinking Of You (Edgar Broughton Band)


Thinking Of You
Performer(s): Edgar Broughton Band



When I first heard the news
I was thinking of you
And the words that were spoken
Were bent and untrue

It was a seemingly tragic affair at the end
And just when we all were about to pretend
I saw through his eyes as the sentence he spoke
He stood up his tongue was beginning to poke
All the fun from your head to make you feel dead
All the fun from your head to make you feel dead

But when I first heard the news
I was thinking of you
And the words that were spoken
Were bent and untrue

And it came to them slowly I seem to recall
Like the hate came to Hitler and the hope into Saul
They were all walking sidewards as they came through the door
As trivial as a tycoon in a travesty of law
Like natural they come, thine kingdom thine come
Like natural they come, thine kingdom thine come

So when I first heard the news
I was thinking of you
And the words that were spoken
Were bent and untrue

As the lepers were leaving in grey limousines
They were all dealing out their black barrister dreams
But they never once noticed what hung on his heel
Was a sign painted backwards and it said the word Real
But never you fear there wasn't a tear
No never you fear there wasn't a tear

Country Anthem


Country Anthem
Composer(s): Hoyt Axton
Performer(s): Hoyt Axton



Do you really think you'd recognise him
If he came walkin' up to you?
If he came back again, they'd hit him in the head
And nail him to the doorway of their lies
An' they would not blame each other
But another crazy brother
An' salute the flag an' mother when he died
And count the blood red silver in their minds
And count the lives of children like their dimes
An' what's a dime, one more time?

New release
Mmm mmm mmm

I'd like to sing our country's anthem
But I can't seem to make it ring
Old Frank Keyes, the man who wrote it
Obviously didn't sing

Mmmm

J'Ai Du Sentiment Pour Toi


J'Ai Du Sentiment Pour Toi
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



De la pointe de mes cheveux
Jusqu'à la pointe de mes bottes
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi

J'te jure tout ce que tu veux
Même sur la tête de mes potes
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi

Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Le v'là j'te le donne en tas

Du turquoise de mes yeux
Jusqu'au glaçon dans ma flotte
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi

J'veux bien jouer à ton jeu
Si tu t'déguise en jack-pot
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi

Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Le v'là j'te le donne en tas

Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
C'est tout c'est fou
C'est tout c'qui n'se raconte pas

Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
J'explose
Quand tu m'regardes comme ça

J'suis comme un jet en feu
Qui aurait perdu son pilote
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi

Même si j'suis pas de ceux
Qui ont des sanglots dans la glotte
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi

Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
T'en feras c'qu'tu voudras

Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Oui c'est bon c'est con
C'est mon problème et pas le tien

Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Je t'aime
C'est pas un mot qui m'vient

De la pointe de mes cheveux
Jusqu'à la pointe de mes bottes
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi

J'te jure tout ce que tu veux
Même sur la tête de mes potes
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi

Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Est-ce que t'en as pour moi

Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Est-ce que t'en as pour moi

Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Est-ce que t'en as pour moi

Thinking Of You


Thinking Of You
Composer(s): A.H. Eastman - Fred Heltman



When the roses were in blossom, and the soft wind sang low
we were sitting in the gloaming, in the long, long ago
Then you told me how you loved me, that old story, ever new
and you kissed me, I remember, now I'm thinking of you

There's a faded little flower I have treasured with care
on my bossom it reposes, I am keeping it there
'T is a rosebud that you gave me, and the rose is ever true
I am thinking, fondly thinking, yes, I'm thinking of you

In the twilight, softly falling, at the quiet closing of day
tender memories I'm recalling, as the hours are passing away
and the shadows now are flitting, while the bright stars peep through
By the firelight I am sitting, and I'm thinking, dearest, of you

Counting


Counting
Composer(s): B. Lind
Performer(s): Liesbeth List



Now is the glimmering, spinning, beginning
of something I’ve prayed for
and counted the minutes
to be in the shadow of sheltering meadows of night
with you in my arms

This is the moment that poses to hold us
as you and I move, in a background of wonder
surrounded by countesses and closures of nocturne
and spoken music of joy

Counting times, I have stood at the foot
of your ivory tower and weeped
and called out your name by the hour
and counted on wings of my heart-strings
to carry this sound
I have counted on pleading
you’d see how I need you, come down

And now between twilight and midnight
you came to me
down in your gown of soft moonbeams and starlight
Bright as the evening that breezes has fenced us
and mastered against us
you’re here

And warm and mine
till the time when the dawn will awake me
the morning will shake me
the highway will take me

But now will the rains of the moon make me gaze
We will swim in the lustre of lingering streetlights
and count on the night to hold everything even
and count on forgetting that I will be leaving
when heaven has folded and then in the dawn
I’ll be gone

But now as the gardens of softening night-time
are blossoming slowly around where we are
you and I came together
and walked through the dreams of the stars

So, here where the sun of the deepening evening
is singing to me from the light in your eyes
we can count on eachother
to move to the beach of tomorrow
and know where we’ve been

J'Ai Deux Mains, J'Ai Deux Pieds,
Une Bouche Et Puis Un Nez
Composer(s): Franck Gérald;
Y. Ouazana; J.P. Festi
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan



Je ne pleure pas
Même quand tu m'en donnes envie
Je ne me plains pas
Même quand je reste seule toute la nuit
Je ne parle pas
Lorsque tu ne veux pas parler
A côté de toi
Je suis devenue la fille que tu voulais

{Refrain:}
Oh! Je n'ai plus de cœur
Je suis un objet
Une jolie fleur en papier découpé
Je n'ai plus de cœur
Je ne suis qu'un jouet
Qui d'un air moqueur ne fait que répéter
J'ai deux mains, j'ai deux pieds
Une bouche et puis un nez

Grâce à toi pourtant
Je pourrais renaître à la vie
Il est encore temps
Mais tu ne t'aperçois pas du temps qui s'enfuit
Et tant pis pour toi
Lorsque tu te réveilleras
Tu ne trouveras
Qu'une étrange mécanique
Qui te dira
{au Refrain, x2}

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?


They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
Composer(s): Gareth Mortimer
Performer(s): Racing Cars



Here we go
Round and round the floor
Together in time
Here we sit
It looks like this is it
Whatever
This time

It's making no sense
But we'll stay here till the end
Whatever
This time

They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?

Carousel
A crazy wishing well
Whenever you fall
It seems so long
Just like a marathon
The belle of the ball

It's making no sense
But we'll stay here till the end
Whatever
This time

They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?

Performer(s): Ma Rainey
and multiple other artists



Layin' in bed this mornin' with my face turned to the wall
Layin' in bed this mornin' with my face turned to the wall
Trying to count these blues so I could sing 'em all

Memphis, Ramport, Beale Street set 'em, free
Memphis, Ramport, Beale Street set 'em, free
Graveyard, 'Bama Bound, Lord, Lord, come from stingaree

Lord sittin' on the Southern gonna ride all night long
Lord sittin' on the Southern gonna ride all night long
Downhearted, Gulf Coast - they was all good songs

Lord, 'rested at midnight, Jailhouse made me loose my mind
Lord, 'rested at midnight, Jailhouse made me loose my mind
Bad Luck 'n' Boll-Weevil, made me think of old Moonshine

Lord, goin' to sleep now for Mama just got bad news
Lord, goin' to sleep now for Mama just got bad news
To try to dream away my troubles, countin' these blues
