Get Back In Line


Get Back In Line
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks; The Minus 5



Facing the world ain’t easy when there isn’t anything going
Standing at the corner waiting watching time go by
Will I go to work today or shall I bide my time
’cos when I see that union man walking down the street
He’s the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I’ve got to get back in the line
Now I think of what my mamma told me
She always said that it would never ever work out
But all I want to do is make some money
And bring you home some wine
For I don’t ever want you to see me
Standing in that line
’cause that union man’s got such a hold over me
He’s the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I’ve got to get back in the line

Mon Apéro


Mon Apéro
Composer(s): Robert Juel; Robert Malleron
Performer(s): Édith Piaf



On peut donner des leçons de morale
Quand on possède bonne soupe et bon feu
Mais quand on ne possède que peau de balle
On prend son plaisir où l'on peut
Dans le quartier, on me blague
Je suis un pilier de bistrot
C'est vrai qu'avec les pochards, je divague
Chaque fois que j'ai le cœur trop gros
D'autres cherchent des trucs compliqués
Mais comme j'ai horreur du chiqué
Moi, c'est au bord du comptoir
Que je prends tous les soirs
Mon apéro...

J'discute avec le patron
Je l'appelle par son petit nom
Ben c'est un bon gros
Comme les mâles je lui dis
"Arthur, vas-y!"
Et je te lui joue la tournée au zanzi
Le phono joue une java
L'ennui doucement s'en va
Tout me semble beau
Et je noie mon ennui profond
Pour une heure, tout au fond
D'un apéro...

Sur mes seize ans, comme j'étais belle gosse
Tous les gars m'faisaient du boniment
Alors, je me suis mise à faire la noce
C'est venu, je ne sais pas comment
Y' m'payaient tout sans rien dire
J'avais voiture et hôtel
Mais il fallait toujours sourire
Le cœur barbouillé de fiel
Et je rêvais d'un petit mécano
Qui ne m'offrirait que des bécots
Alors, pour chasser le noir
Je buvais dans tous les bars
Des apéros...

Grimpée sur un tabouret
Trempé dans mon gobelet
Un chalumeau
Et devant l'air fatigué des danseurs
Je me sentais prise par le chazes du chausseur
Plus que moi riche d'amour
Il embrassait chaque jour
Une dactylo
Et je n'avais pour consoler
Mon cœur si désolé
Que les apéros...

Mais les cocktails me tournaient la tête
Alors j'ai bientôt plaqué l'métier
Me revoilà, bon Dieu que la vie est bête
Revenue dans mon vieux quartier
La revoilà, ma petite église
Et chez moi rien n'a changé... rien!
Rien, sinon mon cœur, cette prison grise
A qui tout reste étranger
Hélas, le bonheur n'a qu'un temps
Voyant que l'amour foutait le camp
Je suis revenue au comptoir
Où l'on me payait le soir
Des apéros...

Je ne crois plus à rien du tout
Patron, encore un coup
Et du costaud!
C'est embêtant, oui, quand je revois les cieux
Et dans mon rêve, je pêche des rêves bleus
Affalée par le coups durs
J'ai pas mis la main sur le bon numéro
Le numéro...
Et mon cœur vide d'amour
N'a plus son vrai secours
Les apéros...

Get Back


Get Back
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

(spoken) Get back Jo!

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can

(spoken) Get back Loretta
Your mother's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta

Love You Too


Love You Too
Composer(s): George Harrison
First release by: The Beatles - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Each day just goes so fast
I turn around - it's past
You don't time to hang a sign on me
Love me while you can
Before I'm dead old man
A lifetime is so short
A new one can't be bought
And what you've got means such a lot to me
Make love all day long
Make love singing songs
There's people standing round
Who screw you in the ground
They'll fill your head with all the things you see
I'll make love to you
If you want me too

Mon Anneau D'or


Mon Anneau D'or
Composer(s): Johnny Hallyday; G. Thibaut
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Mon anneau d'or qu'en tremblant
J'ai glissé à ton doigt
Il était fait pour toi

Mon anneau d'or en rêvant
Je l'ai vu bien des fois
Qui brillait à ton doigt

Depuis bien des années
Il ne m'a pas quitté
Plus fidèle qu'un ami
Quand j'avais le cœur gros
Dans ma main je le serrais
Il chassait mes ennuis

Mon anneau d'or bien souvent
Aux heures noires me disait
Qu'un beau jour tu viendrais

J'ai couru par le monde
Recherchant le bonheur
Je l'ai cru là voir parfois
Mais toujours l'anneau d'or
Me disait, non, cherche encore
Ton amour n'est pas là

Mon anneau d'or savait bien
Que c'était son destin
De finir à ton doigt

Get Away Old Man, Get Away


Get Away Old Man, Get Away
Composer(s): Frank Crumit
Performer(s): Vernon Dalhart



Now listen all you maidens about to choose a man
Don’t take one who is ancient, get a young one if you can
‘cos if you marry an old man, now list to what I say
You’re sure to meet a young man who’ll steal your heart away
For an old man he is old, for an old man he is grey
But a young man’s heart is full of love
Get away, old man, get away

Be sure to get a young man with red and rosy cheeks
Don’t get a man with a cane in his hand whose back is very weak
I’d rather marry a young man with pockets lined with silk
Than to marry an old man with a hundred cows to milk

For an old man he is old, for an old man he is grey
But a young man’s heart is full of love
Get away, old man, get away

I’d sooner marry a young man with an apple in his hand
Than to marry an old man with a hundred acres o’ land
Don’t ever marry an old man and here’s the reason why
His lips are all tobacco juice, and his lips are never dry

For an old man he is old, for an old man he is grey
But a young man’s heart is full of love
Get away, old man, get away

Don’t ever marry an old man who’s got the rheumatiz
You’ll have to rub his creaking joins, if that ain’t work, what is
Don’t ever marry an old man, ‘cos when the weather’s cold
A nice warm place to put your feet is better far than gold

For an old man he is old, for an old man he is grey
But a young man’s heart is full of love
Get away, old man, get away

Get away, get away, get away
Get away, get away, get away
Shoo fly, don’t bother me
Shoo fly, don’t bother me
Get away old man get away

Love You Till Tuesday
((German Version: Lieb' Dich Bis Dienstag (David Bowie))
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie



Just look through your window, look who sits outside
Little me is waiting, standing through the night
When you walk out through your door I'll wave my flag and shout

Ohh, beautiful baby
My burning desire started on Sunday
Give me your heart and I'll love you till Tuesday

Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum

Who's that hiding in the apple tree, clinging to a branch
Don't be afraid it's only me, hoping for a little romance
If you lie beneath my shade, I'll keep you nice and cool

Ohh, beautiful baby
I was very lonely till I met you on Sunday
My passion's never-ending and I'll love you till Tuesday

Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum

Let the wind blow through your hair, be nice to the big blue sea
Don't be afraid of the man in the moon, because it's only me
I shall always watch you until my love runs dry

Ohh, beautiful baby
My heart's aflame, I'll love you till Tuesday
My head's in a whirl and I'll love you till Tuesday
Love, love, love, love you till Tuesday
Love, love, love, love you till Tuesday

Da da da dum

Mon Amour, Mon Ami


Mon Amour, Mon Ami
Composer(s): Eddy Marnay; André Popp
Originally performed by: Marie Laforêt
Covered by: Virginie Ledoyen



Toi mon amour, mon ami
Quand je rêve c'est de toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Quand je chante c'est pour toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Je ne peux vivre sans toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Et je ne sais pas pourquoi

Je n'ai pas connu d'autre garçon que toi
Si j'en ai connu je ne m'en souviens pas
À quoi bon chercher faire des comparaisons
J'ai un cœur qui sait quand il a raison
Et puisqu'il a pris ton nom
Toi mon amour, mon ami
Quand je rêve c'est de toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Quand je chante c'est pour toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Je ne peux vivre sans toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Et je sais très bien pourquoi

On ne sait jamais jusqu'où ira l'amour
Et moi qui croyais pouvoir t'aimer toujours
Oui je t'ai quitté et j'ai beau résister
Je chante parfois à d'autres que toi
Un peu moins bien chaque fois

Toi mon amour, mon ami
Quand je rêve c'est de toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Quand je chante c'est pour toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Je ne peux vivre sans toi
Mon amour, mon ami
Et je ne sais pas pourquoi

{au dernier Refrain}

Get Away


Get Away
Composer(s): Powell
Performer(s): Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames



Gotta go
I hope you're ready 'cos
Take a look outside,
Don't mind the weather, girl
Let's take a ride
Get away
We'll leave the city folk
They'll have to stay
Don't have to pack a thing
Just get away

Gotta go
Get away
Take a look at that deep blue sea
Don't you think it looks great, hmm
Not a cloud to be seen in the sky
And the sun won't wait
I believe that the time is right
Don't let it slip away
Instead of dreaming 'bout tomorrow
You can live today
If you get away

I know a little place
Not far from town
Gotta go
A kind of pretty place
Three up, two down
Get away
I think if ever you
Decide to stay
Well I know it's gonna be
Because we've got away

Yes, we got away good
Got away good
We went and got away good
Gotta get away
Got away good
Gotta go
Gotta get away
Get away
Go, gotta get away
Gotta get away and go
Go, go, go go
You gotta get away
You get away and go go

Schau aus Deinem Fenster
Schau wer draussen sitzt
Ich bin still hier wartend
Schon die ganze Nacht
Wenn Du dann Dein Haus verlaesst
Klingle ich und rufe
Ah, mein kleines Maedchen
Mein brennend Verlangen erwarchte Sonntag
Gib mir Dein Herz und ich lieb Dich bis Dienstag

Who's that hiding in the apple tree
Clinging to a branch?
Don't be afraid, it's only me
Hoping for a little romance
If you lie beneath my shade
I'll keep you nice and cool

Ah, beautiful baby
I was very lonely till I met you on Sunday
My passion's never ending
And I'll love you till Tuesday

Let the wind blow through your hair
Be nice to the big blue sea
Don't be afraid of the man in the moon
Because it's only me
I shall always want you until my love runs dry

Ah, beautiful baby
My heart's aflame
I'll love you till Tuesday
My head's in a whirl

Mon Amour Sauvage


Mon Amour Sauvage
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Mon amour sauvage
Mon amour sauvage
Ne va pas t'apprivoiser
Toi qui ne connais pas de cage
Et rugis en liberté

Face au lancinant message
Que Mandela dans sa cage
Lance d'Afrique du Sud
Ose à la face du monde
Quand souffle la bête immonde
Affirmer ta négritude

Mon amour sauvage
Mon amour sauvage
Ne va pas t'apprivoiser
Toi qui ne connais pas de cage
Et rugis en liberté

Ris de ces nouveaux rois mages
Qui n'ont messie ni message
Autre que des cours boursiers
Que nulle ambition ne mène
Pour notre aventure humaine
Qu'un rêve de boutiquier

Mon amour sauvage
Mon amour sauvage
Ne va pas t'apprivoiser
Toi qui ne connais pas de cage
Et rugis en liberté

Par ces temps de Moyen Age
Où les religions font rage
Sous le joug des hezbollahs
Clame haut ton athéisme
Et champion de l'humanisme
La venue de l'homme roi

Mon amour sauvage
Mon amour sauvage
Ne va pas t'apprivoiser
Toi qui ne connais pas de cage
Et rugis en liberté

Par ces temps d'anniversaire
Où sur nos faibles lumières
Retombe l'obscurité
Garde ton âme utopique
Reste sombre et magnifique
Indomptable et révolté

Mon amour sauvage
Mon amour sauvage
Ne va pas t'apprivoiser
Toi qui ne connais pas de cage
Et rugis en liberté

Ouvre grandes les fenêtres
Sur un autre monde à naître
Qu'il faudra bien inventer
Pour qu'ensemble se fiancent
Dans une même espérance
Socialisme et liberté

Mon amour sauvage
Mon amour sauvage
Ne va pas t'apprivoiser
Mon amour sauvage
Mon amour sauvage
Pour toute l'humanité

Oh, I think I need some lovin'
Worked seven days a week
And my nerves are getting weak

So I'll get my way
On this very day
Look into my eyes
Want love at any price

Well I'm gonna take my money
The ten pounds that I own
Will be spent before dawn

So I'll get my way
On this very day
Look into my eyes

Get around
And have a drink with me
Get around
And just make love to me

Let's get out of that old groove, Baby
Let's turn things upside down

Get around, 'round, 'round
Get around and stay with me

(Instrumental Break)

So I'll get my way
On this very day
Look into my eyes
Want love at any price

In the midst of love and fever
My blood will rush too long
And for Sherry I'll be bound

So I'll get my way
On this very day
Look into my eyes

Get around
And have a drink with me
Get around
And just make love to me

Let's get out of that old groove, Baby
Let's turn things upside down

Get around, 'round, 'round
Get around and stay with me

Quand tu vois que la vie me dépasse
Que je me crois perdu malgré toi
Et qu'en mon coeur naissent les angoisses

En répétant mon nom
Parle-moi
Et par tes mots d'amour

Si les jours heureux se sont enfuis à tout jamais
Il reste encore au creux de moi mon amour oublié
Tous mes souvenirs ne sont plus rien que des regrets
Quand ton visage sur moi penché vient me parler
D'un amour oublié

Tant de cris de joie vibraient au fond de toi
Mais les nuits passées déjà se sont fanées
Et seule je reste là les yeux fermés lLe cœur blessé
Sur ton absence pleure en silence
Mon amour notre amour oublié

You're my girl, you're so sweet
