Fairytale (The Pointer Sisters)


Fairytale
Composer(s): Anita Pointer; Bonnie Pointer
Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters; Elvis Presley



I'll pack up all my things and walk away
I don't want to hear another word you have to say
I've been waiting for so long
And just found out there's something wrong
Nothing will get better if I stay
There's no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you
Now I'm walkin' out the door
(Walkin' out the door)
You used me, you deceived me
And you never seem to need me
But I bet, you won't forget me when I go
Oh no, no, no

Seems I've been lost in a dream
Pretending that you care
But now I've opened up my eyes
And found it's all been just a great big fairy-tale
I've been lovin' you so long
Don't think I even know how to forget you
But now the way that things have been
I think I'm better off alone than to be with you
You don't love me it's plain to see

There's no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you
Now I'm walkin' out the door
(Walkin' out the door)
Ahh, you used me, you deceived me
And you never seem to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go
Oh no, no, no

Seems I've been lost in a dream
Pretending you were mine
Someday you'll open up your eyes
And realize that a good woman's hard to find
Yes I've been lost in a dream
Pretending that you care
But now I've opened up my eyes
And found it's all been just a great big fairy-tale

That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be


That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
Composer(s): Jacob Brackman - Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon



My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark
The living room is still
I walk by, no remark
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
My mother reads her magazines
I hear her call sweet dreams
But I forgot how to dream

But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry

My friends from college they're all married now
They have their houses and their lawns
They have their silent noons
Tearful nights, angry dawns
Their children hate them for the things they're not
They hate themselves for what they are
And yet they drink, they laugh
Close the wound, hide the scar

But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry

You say we can keep our love alive
Babe - all I know is what I see
The couples cling and claw
And drown in love's debris
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
I'll never learn to be just me first
By myself

Well O.K., it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry
We'll marry

Cadillac


Cadillac
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'veux plus courber l'échine
J'veux plus saluer bien bas
Je n'veux plus qu'les gens d'en haut
Passent et me voient pas
Je vais semer aux amériques
Je vais inventer des lois
Des métaux et des usines
Je vais fonder Détroit
Cadillac
Il était comme ça
Cadillac
Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ...
Cadillac
Il était comme ça
Cadillac
Un petit gars
Né près d'Toulouse, Garonne ...
J'veux plus vivre dans une cage
J'veux plus planter de tabac
Au sud de la Loire tu n'est rien
Si t'es pas Roi des Rois ...
Je m'en vais fonder une ville bleue
Je m'en vais fonder Détroit
D'où jailliront des usines
Et un rock de combat
Cadillac
On est tous comme ça
Cadillac
Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ...
Cadillac
Il était comme ça
Cadillac
Un p'tit gars
Comme toi ..
Cadillac
On est tous comme ça
Cadillac
Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ...
Cadillac
Il était comme ça
Cadillac
Un petit gars
Comme toi ...
Comme toi ...
Musiques et limousines
Sueur, métal et combats
Il a fallu qu'un p'tit gars
Vienne là pour fonder
Détroit Il fallu
Qu'un p'tit gars
Vienne là
Pour fonder
Détroit Il fallu
Qu'un p'tit gars
Vienne là
Pour fonder Détroit ...

Fairytale (Dana)


Fairytale
Composer(s): Paul Greedus
Performer(s): Dana



Imagine what a fool you're gonna make of me
Just think of what you're doin' to my pride
You run around and love a lot
And never know the good you've got
Or where you go or where you've been
But don't you know you're living in a fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening, they do come true
But you and only you alone believe they do

You're walkin' on a tightrope, but you'd better know
There's no one here to catch you if you fall
But I understand what's in your mind
And how you're waiting right behind
I should have known it from the start
I'd only be another part of your fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening, they do come true
But you and only you alone believe they do

Oh, fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening, they do come true
But you and only you alone believe they do

Fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening, they do come true
But you and only you alone believe they do

You keep on doin' it, fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening
But you and only you alone believe they do

Ring a ring o' rosies
A pocketful of posies
They do come true.......

That's The Way He Does It


That's The Way He Does It
Composer(s): Harry James - Buddy Pepper
Performer(s): Doris Day



He stays away too long, leaves her by herself
Treats her wrong, keeps her on the shelf
He talks and talks about her
And she loves the way he does it

He's got a lyin' smile, easy to believe
And all the while laughin' up his sleeve
He fibs and fibs about her
And she loves the way he does it

There's a great deal of devil
From the top of his head to his toes
But she's on the level
She's gonna go where he goes

When there's a honey moon hangin' in the sky
All too soon he will say goodbye
And that is that, but that's the way he does it
And she loves it

When there's a honey moon hangin' in the sky
All too soon he will say goodbye
And that is that, but that's the way he does it
And she loves it

Cadence And Cascade


Cadence And Cascade Composer(s): Robert Fripp - Peter Sinfield Performer(s): King Crimson



Cadence and Cascade
Kept a man named Jade
Cool in the shade
While his audience played
Purred, whispered, "Spend us too
We only serve for you"

Sliding mystified
On the wine of the tide
Stared pale-eyed
As his veil fell aside
Sad paper courtesan
They found him just a man

Caravan hotel
Where the sequin spell fell
Custom of the game
Cadence oiled in love
Licked his velvet gloved hand
Cascade kissed his name

Sad paper courtesan
They knew him just a man

Fairy Moon


Fairy Moon
Composer(s): Charles K. Harris
Performer(s): Grace Edmonds



Is my lover false or true, or only fooling me tell me my Fairy Moon
Is he coming out tonight to meet his little girl come to spoon?
I will meet him at the gate and for his loving kiss I'll wait
for you know I love him so, won't you make him hurry
I'm as lonesome as can be, he's so slow

Can't you see I'm lonely now, where can my sweetheart be, tell me my Fairy Moon
Does he love another girl instead of little me, Fairy Moon?
There's a cloud before your face I see, perhaps you pity me
is it just because you know
just the same I love him still with all my heart and soul, tell him so

Fairy Moon to you I'm sighing, Fairy Moon, to you I'm crying
for you know my heart's own secrets, and I crave one little boon
Fairy Moon my golden bubble, won't you help me in my trouble
tell me is my sweetheart true, my Fairy Moon

Cadeau


Cadeau
((Adapted from: No Charge (by Melba Montgomery) - 1974))
((Danish Version: Ingen Regning (by Peter Belli) - 1978))
Composer(s): Harlan Howard - Marie Laforêt
Performer(s): Marie Laforêt - 1974



Marie Laforêt:
Hier soir, dans la cuisine
je préparais le dîner, quand mon petit garçon est entré
Il m'a tendu un morceau de papier griffonné
J'ai essuyé mes mains sur mon tablier
et je l'ai lu
Et voici ce qu'il disait

L'enfant:
Pour avoir fait mon lit toute la semaine 3 francs
Pour avoir été aux commissions 1 franc
Pour avoir surveillé le bébé pendant que toi tu allais aux commissions 1 franc 25
Pour avoir descendu la corbeille à papiers 75 centimes
Pour avoir remonté la corbeille à papiers 1 franc et 10 centimes
Pour avoir arrosé les fleurs sur le balcon 25 centimes
Total 9 francs et 85 centimes

Marie Laforêt:
Je l'ai regardé, il se tortillait en mâchant son crayon
et une foule de souvenirs sont revenus à ma mémoire
Alors j'ai repris son crayon, j'ai retourné la feuille et voilà ce que j'ai écrit

Marie Laforêt:
Pour neuf mois de patience et douze heures de souffrance
Cadeau
Pour tant de nuits de veille, surveillant ton sommeil
Cadeau
Pour les tours de manège, les jouets, le collège
Cadeau
Et quand on fait le tour, le total de mon amour
C'est Cadeau

Marie Laforêt:
Quand il a eu fini de lire, il avait un gros chagrin dans les yeux
Il a levé la tête et a dit

"M'Man, je t'aime très beaucoup"

Il a repris son papier, l'a retourné, et en grosses, grosses lettres, a marqué

"Cadeau"

Marie Laforêt:
Et quand on fait le tour, le total de l'amour
C'est Cadeau, C'est Cadeau

Fairly In The Money Now


Fairly In The Money Now
Composer(s): Tommy Tate; The Torpedoes
Performer(s): The Undertones



Tommy always said he'd make it one day
Lead singer in a top show band
So with some friends made up tunes to play
Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began

Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops
And satin suits all dressed to kill
Soon Tommy's boys became top of the pops
But then the money came over the hill
But then the money came over the hill

All the cash to spend on their girlfriends
Howard Hughes is missed a turn there
And then their interests
Are manager's requests
They all bought their ranches

Hypnotised by every part that arrived
Higher prices for indifferent songs
But never the less Tommy's into success
So his Torpedoes kept plodding on
And his Torpedoes kept plodding on

That's The Way (The Honeycombs)


That's The Way
Composer(s): Alan Blaikley - K. Howard
Performer(s): The Honeycombs



That's the way we should begin it
Take my hand I lead you oh so gently
That's the way you set me dreaming
That's the way I hit the ceiling
With your size and in your eyes
I see that that's the way we'll fall in love

Tell me (tell me)
That you really love me (I love you)
Tell me you really need me
So I am sure

That's the way you set me singing
That's the way are those bells ringing
Though you're shy you know I really wants you
All the way don't keep me waiting
No delay, no, no, no hesitating
Here we go just keep on holding tight
And that's the way we'll fall in love

Tell me (tell me)
That you really love me (I love you)
Tell me you really need me
So I am sure

That's the way there's nothing in it
That's the way we should begin it
Take my hand I lead you oh so gently
That's the way we'll fall in love
We'll fall in love
We'll fall in love

Cadê Você


Cadê Você Composer(s): João Donato - Chico Buarque Performer(s): João Donato; Rosa Passos; Jose Luiz Mazziotti



Me dê notícia de você
Eu gosto um pouco de chorar
A gente quase não se vê
Me deu vontade de lembrar

Me leve um pouco com você
Eu gosto de qualquer lugar
A gente pode se entender
E não saber o que falar

Seria um acontecimento
Mas lógico que você some
No dia em que o seu pensamento
Me chamou

Eu chamo o seu apartamento
Não mora ninguém com esse nome
Que linda a cantiga do vento
Já passou

A gente quase não se vê
Eu só queria me lembrar
Me dê notícia de você
Me deu vontade de voltar

Goin' home, late last night

'cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do

That's The Way (Led Zeppelin)


That's The Way
Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
My friend, the boy next door
I can't believe what people saying
You're gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
You're in the darker side of town

And when I'm out I see you walking
Why don't your eyes see me
Could it be you've found another game to play
What did mama say to me

That's the Way
Oh, that's The Way it ought to be
Yeah, yeah, mama say
That's the Way it ought to stay

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
Had they got you hypnotized?

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
But all that lives is born to die
And so I say to you that nothing really matters
And all you do is stand and cry

I don't know what to say about it
When all you ears have turned away
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see
Is that the way it ought to stay?

That's the way... That's the way it oughta be
Oh don't you know now
Mama said... that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah

Cade la neve
tu non verrai questa sera
Cade la neve
non ci vedremo lo so
La città che dorme
si copre di bianco
intanto il mio cuore
si veste di buio

Questa sera non verrai
invano aspetterò
ma cade la neve
lentamente dal cielo

Cade la neve
tu non verrai questa sera
Cade la neve
non ci vedremo lo so

Nella via deserta
nemmeno una voce
mi sento morire
non mi sei vicina

Questa sera non verrai
invano aspetterò
ma cade la neve
lentamente dal cielo
Ma cade la neve
lentamente dal cielo

Faire Face


Faire Face
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'n'ai pas toujours chanté des chansons
On s'est divisé autour de mon nom
Parfois la colère m'a glissé des doigts
Mais ce que j'ai fais c'était bien je crois

J'ai défié les hommes qui truquaient leur jeux
J'ai croisé la mort inscrite dans leurs yeux
J'ai connu la peur je l'ai maîtrisée
Et la moindre erreur j'ai su l'exploiter

À chaque coin de rue se cache une guerre
Moi j'aime bien savoir à qui j'ai à faire

Faire face
Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face
J'ai toujours su faire face
Faire face pour me faire une place

J'ai souillé le lit des plus belles femmes
Mes mains dans la nuit corrompaient leurs âmes
Que l'on m'ai sifflé, trahi ou aimé
L'important pour moi c'était d'exister

Le chagrin la haine la peur
Ou même l'amitié
Sont des vieux mots
Qu'il faut enterrer

Faire face
Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face

Faire face
J'ai toujours su faire face

Faire face pour me faire une place

Oh ! Faire face

Faire, faire, faire
Faire face
Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face

Oui faire face
Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face

That's The Beginning Of The End


That’s The Beginning Of The End
Composer(s): Alex Kramer - Joan Whitney
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists



When she don't sweet talk anymore
Her kiss ain't like it was before
It's time you added up the score, my friend
That's the beginning of the end

She keeps you waiting for a date
Makes no excuse for being late
Wake up and recognize your fate, my friend
That's the beginning of the end

What she's doing to you, she did to me
But I was in love, so how could I see
You'd better get wise, you'd better beware
Or one of these days you'll turn around and she won't be there

Don't say that you were never told
I know that character of old
When she starts straying from the fold, my friend
That's the beginning of the end

What she's doing to you, she did to me
But I was in love, so how could I see
You'd better get wise, you'd better beware
Or one of these days you'll turn around and she won't be there

Don't say that you were never told
I know that character of old
When she starts straying from the fold, my friend
That's the beginning of the end
That’s the beginning of the end

Cadáver Exquisito


Cadáver Exquisito
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Comienza el día
y una luz sentimental
nos envuelve, se va
la fabulosa sinfonía universal
nos envuelve, vuelve, se va
tango sexo, sexo y amor
tanto tango, tanto dolor
mi vida gira en contradicción
jamas conquisté mi corazón
mas donde estaba cuando
paso lo que paso
hablándome al espejo solo?

Vengo de un barrio
tan mezquino y criminal
quizá te queme, queme, quizás
vengo de un barrio
siempre a punto de estallar
quizá te queme, queme, quizás
si de nada sirve vivir
buscas algo porque morir
el tiempo me ha enseñado a mirar
a veces me ha enseñado a callar
donde estabas cuando paso lo que paso
hablándole al espejo sola
es tanta la tristeza y es tan ruin
que celebro la experiencia feliz
la estupidez del mundo
nunca pudo y nunca podrá
arrebatar la sensualidad

Busco mi piedra filosofal
en los 7 locos
en el mar
en el cadáver exquisito
en no tener piedad
en la quinta escénica de la música
dentro mío, dentro en el amor

Y el...
odio tener que pensar
preferiría tu sonrisa a toda la verdad
avanzo un paso
retrocedo y vuelvo a preguntar
que algo cambie
para no cambiar jamas
todo es imperfecto amor
...y obvio

Fair To Even Odds


Fair To Even Odds
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Pete Sears
Performer(s): Pete Sears



How long, Jack, till we get to Singapore?
How long, Joe, did we sign on for?
Better keep bailing while the rain pours down
The day crews sleeping and the night crews drowned

Fair to even odds, I wager
Fair to even odds, I lay
If we make it till the sunrise
We can make it through the day

Caught at the border running forty-fives
A shot in the back could mean goodbye
You know I have been shot before
And I didn't lay down and die, no

Fair to even odds, I wager
Fair to even odds, I give
Fair to even I recover
Fair to even odds I live

Lie around and clench my teeth
Until my jaws are sore
Maybe give up cigarettes
Till my lungs don't hurt no more

Shot in the back and drawing flies
Flat on my belly with bloodshot eyes
This is the life I love the best
Devil be welcome to the rest

Fair to even odds, I wager
Fair to even I adore
Away, away, go from my window
Don't you bother me no more

Just how far is this day risen?
Move my head so I can see
Hear the hot sweet winds of heaven
Thick and red as blood to me

Fair to even odds, I wager
Fair to even odds, I lay
If I make it till the sunrise
I can make it through the day

I can hear the hangman's hornpipe
Blowing high and low and strong
Fare to even odds, dear Annie
Play no sweeter when I'm gone
