Traqué


Traqué
Composer(s): Robert Gall - Florence Véran
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Voyez cet homme qui court, qui court
Parmi la ville et les avenues
Voyez cet homme qui court, qui court
Parmi la ville, à cœur perdu

Mais qu'a-t-il fait?
A-t-il volé?
A-t-il tué?
Nul ne sait, nul ne sait, nul ne sait...
Est-il traqué
Par son passé
Qui court après?
Moi je sais, moi je sais, moi je sais...

Il court, il court en bousculant
Sur son passage même les enfants
Et toute la ville et tous les gens
Lui montrent le poing en passant

Voyez cet homme qui court, qui court
Parmi les rues et les avenues
Voyez cet homme qui court, qui court
Parmi la ville, à cœur perdu

Ce qu'il a fait
Il a tué...
Pour qui? Pourquoi?
Moi je sais, moi je sais, moi je sais...
Il est traqué
Et c'est chez moi
Qu'on est venu le chercher, le chercher, le chercher...

Sa seule chance est de partir
Et, comme un fou, il va s'enfuir
Jusqu'à la fin
Il va courir
Peut-être bien
Jusqu'à mourir...
Jusqu'au grand fleuve
Qui coule là-bas
Jouant sa vie à pile ou face
Et puis, mon Dieu, que le temps passe
Mais cette histoire... ne regarde que moi...
Que moi...
Que moi...
Que moi...
Que moi...

I Nearly Let Love Go Slipping Through My Fingers


I Nearly Let Love Go Slipping Through My Fingers
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Performer(s): Jessie Matthews
and multiple other artists



I'm foolish, I'm silly
I'm absolutely daft
As a sailor on a sea of love
I don't know half of half

Admit it, I'll have to
Almost without defence
And here's the proof
I'm a silly goof
Without a grain of common sense

I nearly let love go slipping through my fingers
Oh yes, I did, I know I did

Like golden sand, right through my hand

But I woke in time
And I saved my prize
Yet though love is mine
I tremble when I realise

I nearly let love go slipping through my fingers
Oh, yes I did, foolishly
For without love, where in this world would I be?
For without love, where in this world would I be?

Trapped Again


Trapped Again
Composer(s): John Lyon - Bruce Springsteen - Steven Van Zandt
Performer(s): Southside Johnny



Here I am baby, right where you found me
Trying to break these chains that surround me
If I look a little different, it's because I've changed
Half-painted pictures are all that remains

I can't let my past mistakes
Let 'em bring me down
I ain't waitin' on no angel of mercy
I've tried my best and I can't help myself

And I'm trapped again
And I can't get out without losing you
And I'm trapped again
Why can't you feel what I'm going through
I'm trapped again
I need an answer girl, can't you see
I'm trapped again
Come and rescue me

Monday morning came so fast
What a fool to think that dreams would last
Close my eyes and it's still so clear
Remember the night girl, the world disappeared

Can't let the hand of fate
Let it drag me down
I can't get no angel of mercy
I came to stay but I got swept away

And I'm trapped again
And I can't get out without losing you
And I'm trapped again
Why can't you feel what I'm going through
I'm trapped again
I need an answer girl, can't you see
I'm trapped again
Come and rescue me

Can't let the hand of fate
Let it drag me down
I can't get no angel of mercy
I came to stay but I got swept away

And I'm trapped again
And I can't get out without losing you
And I'm trapped again
Why can't you feel what I'm going through
I'm trapped again
I need an answer girl, can't you see
I'm trapped again
Come and rescue me

And I'm trapped again
And I can't get out without losing you
And I'm trapped again
Why can't you feel what I'm going through
I'm trapped again

I Natt Jag Drömde


I Natt Jag Drömde
Composer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk; Ed McCurdy
Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk



I natt jag drömde något som
jag aldrig drömt förut
Jag drömde det var fred p† jord
och alla krig var slut

Jag drömde om en jättesal
där statsmän satt i rad
Så skrev dom på ett konvolut
och reste sig och sa

Det finns inga soldater mer
det finns inga gevär
och ingen känner längre till
det ordet militär

På gatorna drog folk omkring
och drog från krog till krog
och alla drack varandra till
och dansade och log

I natt jag drömde något som
jag aldrig drömt förut
Jag drömde det var fred på jord
och alla krig var slut

Trapeze


Trapeze
Composer(s): Jim Rodford
Performer(s): Argent



Flying high
Turning in space
Indecision
Faltering grace
Baying crowd
Blinding white light
Upturned faces
Shadows of night
Trusted hands
Catch me with ease
Life's ambition
Flying trapeze
Ravaged dreams
Sweat from my brow
Free fall vision
Dragging me down

Flying, sighing, headlong into dread
Hoping, praying I'll find the path to tread

Spinning world
Motion unreal
Premonition
Time will reveal
Worthless years
Passing me by
Resolution
Taking me high

I Natt Är Jag Din


I Natt Är Jag Din
Composer(s): Tomas Ledin
Performer(s): Tomas Ledin



Dra ner rullgardinen
Släck alla lampor som stör
Lägg dig ner och lyssna
På stadens skrik utanför

Vänd dig om sakta
Och le som bara du gör

Inatt är jag din
Inatt är du min
Och ingen ska få ta
Natten ifrån oss

Nu är timmen slagen
Det är slut på blickar och prat
Jag bjuder dig min kropp
Serverad på silverfat
Allt som hörs i huset
Är grannens tv-apparat

Inatt är jag din
Inatt är du min
Och ingen ska få ta
Natten ifrån oss

Trapaças


Trapaças
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Toninho Horta



Contigo aprendi
A perder e achar graça
Pagar e não dar importância
Contigo a trapaça
Por trás da trapaça
É pura elegância

Se deres por falta
Do teu riso esperto
Dos teus sortilégios
Entende e perdoa
Eu ando nas ruas
Com o sol descolado
Da tua pessoa

I Named My Little Girl Holly


I Named My Little Girl Holly
Composer(s): Lee Jackson
Performer(s): Buddy Knox



I named my little baby girl Holly, Buddy
I didn't think you'd mind at all, golly, Buddy
There wasn't much else I could do
To best try and remember you
Guess I could have named her Peggy Sue

But I named my little baby girl Holly, Buddy
Many of my friends did too, golly, Buddy
It was a small way we could show
How much we all still miss you so
And we're wishing somehow you could know

Everyday since you've been missing
We've done lots of Reminiscing
It's So Easy thinking of your style
And though we've all been told before
That It Doesn't Matter Anymore
For us the music never really died

So I named my little baby girl Holly, Buddy
Ever since you left this world, golly, Buddy
It's been said time and again
Soon the memory will end
But That'll Be The Day my friend
Buddy Holly

Just You


Just You
Composer(s): Sonny Bono
Performer(s): Sonny & Cher;
Soundsations; Thursday's Children



With his big brown eyes he came my way
I didn’t know then what he had to say
I could tell that he felt bad
By the way he looked that he felt sad, oh yeah

Sometimes you hurt me baby, I don’t know why
I’ll always love you baby till the day I die
But when you look at fellas
Baby I get jealous
I only live my life for you
Anything you say I’ll do
I’ll live for you, I’ll die for you
I’ll even climb the mountains high for you

Thought right then he’d break my heart
I could feel the teardrops start
Why didn’t he know I love him so
I could never let him go, oh no

I’d never hurt you baby - tell you why
I’m gonna love you till the day I die
When I look at fellas
Baby don’t get jealous
I only live my life for you - anything you say I’ll do
I’ll live for you, I’ll die for you
I’ll even climb the mountains high for you

I love you, just you, nobody else but you
I love you, only you, every day, every day, just you

Transit À Marilou


Transit À Marilou
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Vroom vroom me voici rose zinc
Avion fantôme hou hou
Aéroplane vieux coucou
Dont l'altimètre se déglingue
C'est à peine si je distingue
Les balises du terrain où
Je me pose en casse-cou
J'alanguis dans la nuit buccale
Où je vais transiter un coup
Serai-je chez les cannibales
Une haleine de peppermint
M'envahit le cockpit ding ding
Je me sens vibrer la carlingue
Se dresser mon manche à balou
Dans la tour de contrôle en bout
De piste une voix cunilingue
Me fait "glou glou
Je vous reçois cinq sur cinq"
Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que ce trou
Perdu suis-je en pays zoulou
Mais non voyons suis-je dingue
Je suis à Marilou

I Must Have That Man


I Must Have That Man
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Vaughn De Leath
and multiple other artists



Don't want my mammy, I don't need a friend
My heart is broken, it won't ever mend
I ain't much carin' just where I will end
I must have that man

I'm like an oven that's cryin' for heat
He treats me awful each time that we meet
It's just unlawful how that boy can cheat
But I must have that man

His heart is Hades
A lady's not safe in his arms when she's kissed
But I'm afraid that he's cooled off
And maybe I'm ruled off his list

I'll never desist, I need that person
Much worse'n just bad
I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad
He's only human, if he's to be had
I must have that man

Just When I Needed You Most


Just When I Needed You Most
Composer(s): Randy VanWarmer
Performer(s): Randy VanWarmer;
and various other artists



You packed in the morning and I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
Without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

But I miss you more than I
Missed you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most

(Left me, just when I needed you most)

Now most every morning I
Stare out the window and I
Think about where you might be
I've written you letters
That I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me

'Cause I need you more than I
Needed before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most

(Left me, just when I needed you most)

You packed in the morning I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
Without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I love you more than I
Loved you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Oh, yeah
You left me
Just when I needed you most

You left me
Just when I needed you most

Transistor Radio


Transistor Radio
Composer(s): Benny Hill
Performer(s): Benny Hill



My baby’s got a transistor radio
She takes it everywhere we go
She takes it when we go out a-walking
Even to a movie show
Well now, just last night, in the pale moonlight
I asked her for a kiss
But instead of hearing her whisper sweet words of love
All that I could hear was this
(Radio: 4 lines of high-pitched singing, sounding like Pinky & Perky)

I went round to the house where my baby lives
To ask her for a date
There I was, walking up the garden path
Round about half past eight
When I heard a sound, made my poor heart pound
It stopped me in my stride
I seemed to hear the voice of another guy
Coming from inside

(Radio: Elvis take-off, singing I wonder if you’re lonesome tonight -
Maybe that’s ‘cause you’re eleven feet tall
And all the world’s a stage, I have often heard that said
But I don’t have a wooden heart
I have a wooden head)

I’d like to take her transistor radio
And throw it in the deep blue sea
I’m so jealous of her transistor radio
‘Cause it takes her mind off me
I said, Oh baby, please be mine
I want you for my own
Tell me, is your love for somebody else?
Or is it for me alone?

(Radio: Male presenting dance music requests from British Honduras,
New Guinea, and British West Hartlepool)

I swore to her that I would always be true
And love her all the while
And oh, that oh so happy day
I took her down the aisle
Now, do you take this man to be your loving husband?
The preacher softly said
But he never heard you say, I do
‘Cause this is what he heard instead

(Radio: Singing, Yeah, yeah
You told me you were just eighteen on the telephone
I thought that you meant eighteen years
But you meant eighteen stone
Big fat mama}

We went to spend our honeymoon down on the Island of Capri
I found myself a very small hotel as quiet as could be
But when I got up to our room upon our wedding night
This is the sound that reached my ears
As I switched out the light

(Wife) Darling?
(Husband) ‘Ere, where’s the radio?
(Wife) Music he wants!

I Must Have Been Blind


I Must Have Been Blind
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
First release by: Tim Buckley - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Here I am believin' words again
Here I am tryin' to find your love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Prayin' for a love
That we used to know

Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on living that way
When so few understand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind

To hold something real
And not believe it
To live in her life
And never trustin'
To give all you know and never feel it
To hold back each day
Until it dies away

Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on
Living that way
When so few undersand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind

Just When


Just When
Composer(s): Alan Rhody; Bill Caswell
Performer(s): George Jones



Just when I learned how to dance, they changed the music
Just when I learned how to sing, they changed the song
Just when I learned how to love, you changed your mind, babe
Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone

Just when love felt so right, I found I was wrong
Just when I learned to trust, he came along
Suddenly nothing I said made any difference
Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone

You know that ol' lonesome world could
But it can sure make you cry
Oh, and a love I thought would last
Ah, it's now just a thing of the past

Just when love felt so right, I found I was wrong
Just when I learned to trust, he came along
Suddenly nothing I said made any difference
Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone

Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone

Transfusion


Transfusion
Composer(s): Justin Drake
First release: Nervous Norvus - 1956



Toolin' down the highway doin' seventy-nine
I'm a twin-pipe poppa and I'm feelin' fine
Hey man, dig that! Was that a red stop sign?

Transfusion, transfusion
I'm just a solid mess of contusions
Never, never, never gonna speed again
Slip the blood to me, Bud

I jump in my rod about a quarter-to-nine
I gotta make a date with that chick of mine
I cross the centre-line, man you gotta make time

Transfusion, transfusion
Oh man I got the cotton-pickin' convolutions
I'm never, never, never gonna speed again
Shoot the juice to me, Bruce

My foot's on the throttle and it's made of lead
But I'm a fast-ridin' daddy with a real cool head
I'm a-gonna pass a truck on the hill ahead

Transfusion, transfusion
My red corpsuckles are in mass confusion
Never, never, never gonna speed again
Pour the crimson in me, Jimson

I took a little drink and I'm a-feeling right
I can fly right over everything, everything in sight
There's a slow-pokin' cat, I'm gonna pass him on the right

Transfusion, transfusion
I'm a real gone paleface and that's no illusion
I'm a-never, never, never gonna speed again
Pass the claret to me, Barrett

A-rollin' down the mountain on a rainy day
Oh when you see me comin' better start to pray
I'm a-cuttin' up the road and I'm the boss all the way

Transfusion, transfusion
Oh Doc, pardon me for this crazy intrusion
I'm never, never, never gonna speed again
Pump the fluid in me, Louis

I'm burnin' up the freeway a-early this morn'
And I'm passin' everyone, oh nothin' but corn
Man out of my way, I don't drive on my horn

Transfusion, transfusion
Oh Nurse, I'm gonna make a new resolution
I'm never, never, never gonna speed again
Put a gallon in me, Alan

Oh barnyard drivers are found in two classes
Blind crowding hogs and speeding jackasses
So remember to slow down today

Hey Daddy-o, make that type O
Huh... Attaboy

I Must Go


I Must Go
Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham; Gordon Fordyce
Performer(s): Lindsey Buckingham



I've been trying just to get to you
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
I just can't seem to get through
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
You leave in the morning but you don't come back
Hey little girl, leaving me all alone
Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting, contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching, heart is breaking
Let the forewinds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

You just can't choose between the lie and the fact
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting, contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching, heart is breaking
Let the forewinds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go
