Viens petite sœur au blanc manteau
Viens c'est la ballade des copeaux
Viens petite girl in red blue jean
Viens c'est la descente au fond de la mine
Viens donc grand shootée du désespoir
Viens donc visiter mes laminoirs
Viens donc chevaucher les grands rouleaux
Et t'coincer la tête dans un étau
Viens petite femme de St-Tropez
Nous on fume la came par les cheminées
Et si le bonheur n'est pas en retard
Il arrive avec son gros cigare

Viens dans ce pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur mes bras comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville

Viens petite bourgeoise demoiselle
Visiter la plage aux de Wendel
Ici pour trouver l'Eldorado
Il faut une shooteuse ou un marteau
La vallée d'la Fensch ma chérie
C'est l'Colorado en plus petit
Y a moins de chevaux et de condors
Mais ça fait quand même autant de morts
Ma belle femelle de métal
Je t'invite dans mon carnaval
Ici la cadence c'est vraiment trop
Ici y a pas d'place pour les manchots

Viens dans mon pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur mes bras comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville

Tu ne connais pas, mais t'imagines
C'est vraiment magnifique une usine
C'est plein de couleurs et plein de cris
C'est plein d'étincelles surtout la nuit
C'est vraiment dommage que les artistes
Qui font le spectacle soient si tristes
Autrefois y avait des rigolos
Ils ont tous fini dans un lingot
Le ciel a souvent des teintes étranges
Le nom des patelins s'termine par ..ange
C'est un vieux pays pas très connu
Y a pas de touristes dans les rues

Viens dans mon pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur ma peau comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville

Viens petite sœur au blanc manteau
Viens c'est la ballade des copeaux
Viens petite girl in red blue jean
Viens c'est la descente au fond d'la mine
Viens c'est la descente au fond d'la mine

The Bonnie Blue Flag


The Bonnie Blue Flag
Composer(s): Harry McCarthy
Performer(s): Douglas Jimerson
and multiple other artists



We are a band of brothers
Native to the soil
Fighting for the property
We gained by honest toil
And when our rights were threatened
The cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, Hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!

As long as the Union
Was faithful to her trust
Like friends and brethren
kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery
Attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star

First gallant South Carolina
Nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama
And took her by the hand
Next, quickly, Mississippi
Georgia, and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star

Ye men of valor gather round
The banner of the right
Texas and fair Louisiana
Join us in the fight
Davis, our loved President
And Stephens statesmen are
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star

And here's to brave Virginia
The Old Dominion State
With the young Confederacy
At length has linked her fate
Impelled by her example
Now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star

Then here's to our Confederacy
Strong we are and brave
Like patriots of old we'll fight
Our heritage to save
And rather than submit to shame
To die we would prefer
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star

Then cheer, boys, cheer
Raise a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina
Now have both gone out
And let another rousing cheer
For Tennessee be given
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag
Has grown to be eleven!

Canned Music


Canned Music
Composer(s): Dan Hicks
Performer(s): Dan Hicks; Nick DeCaro



Canned music, canned music, playing on the radio
Canned music, canned music, with out a doubt it doesn't go
Favorites on the jukebox are only half the show when it's
Canned music, canned music

A little before she left me, I asked her what it's all about
She said I feel like dancin', She feel like stepping out
I took her with the van, where the band was on the stand, playin'
Live music live music

She got us on the dance floor, to me it was a sight
I never seen my baby movin', like the moves she made on me that night
I did not have a chance the way that music made me dance, it was ah
Live music, live music

The rhythm was all around us, we was really steppin' out
My baby said I'm livin' for this music, I asked her what it's all about
She said I'm just a silly girl, this stuff has got me in a whirl
It's just some live music, live music

And that was the night she left me, danced herself into my memory
My baby had to leave me for the drummer, I guess I'll never solve that mystery
I think I've learned my lesson just don't get too near the band when it's
Live music, live music

A little before she left me, I asked her what it's all about
She said she feel like dancin', she feel like steppin' out

Fennimores Lied


Fennimores Lied
Composer(s): Georg Kaiser; Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Ute Lemper



Ich bin eine arme Verwandte
und gehöre zu andern dazu
Ach, wenn sich doch keiner um mich kümmern wollte!
Doch das tuen Onkel und Tante
und nichts freut sie, was ich auch tu'
Das ist kein Leben, das ist nur verdruß
den man, was soll denn werden, ertragen muß

Ich hab' einen Koffer voll Habe
den schleppe ich überall hin
Ach, wenn ich mich doch seiner entledigen könnte!
Weil ich mir die Finger wund schabe
und auch nicht die Kräftigste bin

Und nirgends will man mich behalten
weil ich nirgends gern geseh'n bin
Am liebsten möchte ich einfach weglaufen
und mein bißchen Dasein verwalten
nach meinem eigenen Sinn!
Denn das ist kein Leben, das ist nur Verdruß
den man, was soll denn werden, ertragen muß

Manchmal könnt' ich das träumen
ich wäre gar nicht verwandt
Und keiner dürfte mich holen und schicken
ich müßte mich nicht mehr ducken und bücken
ich drückte dem Nächsten freudig die Hand
ich bin ja nicht mit ihm verwandt
Ach, das wär ein Leben, das wär ein Genuß
wenn man vergessen könnte, daß man verwandt sein muß

The Bombardier Song


The Bombardier Song
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



The weather's fine for flying
The fog has gone to bed
There's such good visibility
You can see victory ahead
Let's fill the air with Eagles
Let's fill the clouds with men
And we will see a world that's free
When we fly home again
Said the bombardier to the pilot
Well give us a little ride
The pilot said to the navigator
Why don't you slide inside
The navigator he looked around and said to the engineer
Ah your hands are dirty
your pants are dirty
you're dirty behind the ear
Said the bombardier to the gunner
well how are we fixed for lead
The pilot said to the radioman
how's the weather ahead
Said the bombardier to the pilot
Hand us that pretty crate
5 degrees to the right'll make it
Just as sure as fate
The ship belonged to the bombardier
who opened his little bag
He saw the target and locked the target
and suddenly (bombs away)
Said the bombardier to the pilot
Call it a day, and then
the pilot said to the radioman
say we done it again
The weather's fine for flying
The fog has gone to bed
There's such good visibility
You can see victory ahead
Let's fill the air with Eagles
Let's fill the clouds with men
And we shall see a world that's free
When we fly home again
Let's fill the air with Eagles
Let's fill the clouds with men
And we will see a world that's free
When we fly home again

Canned Goods


Canned Goods
Composer(s): Greg Brown
Performer(s): Greg Brown



Well let the wild winter wind bellow and blow
I'm as warm as a July tomato
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

Well there's a root cellar, fruit cellar down below
Watch your head now, and down we go
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

Well maybe you are weary and you don't give a damn
I bet you never tasted her blackberry jam
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

Oh, she got magic in her, you know what I mean
She puts the sun and rain in with her beans
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

What with the snow and the economy and everything
I think I'll just stay down here and eat until spring
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

When I go down to see Grandma, I gain a lot a weight
With her dear hands she gives me plate after plate
She cans the pickles, sweet and dill
And the songs of the whippoorwill
And the morning dew and the evening moon
I really gotta go down and see her soon
Cause the canned goods that I buy at the store
Ain't got the summer in 'em anymore
You bet Grandma as sure as you're born
I'll take some more potatoes and a thunder storm

There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Grandma put it all in jars

Giulio Genoino; Mariano Paolella
Performer(s): Mario Lanza



Fenesta che lucive e mò non luci
Sign' è ca Nenna mia stace ammalata
S'affaccia la sorella e me lo dice
Nennella toja è morta e s'è atterrata
Chiagneva sempe ca dormeva sola, ah!
Mò duorme co li muorte accompagnata!
Mò duorme co li muorte accompagnata!
Mò duorme co li muorte accompagnata!

Va nella chiesa e scuopre lo tavuto
Vide Nennella toja comm' è tornata
Da chella vocca che nasceano sciure
Mò n'esceno li vierme, oh che piatate!
Zi Parrocchiano mio, abbice cura
Na lampa sempe tienece allumata
Na lampa sempe tienece allumata
Na lampa sempe tienece allumata

De Cirkel


De Cirkel
((Adapted from: The Circle Game (Ian & Sylvia) - 1967))
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell - Raoul Van Bambost
Performer(s): Miek en Roel - 1970



Vandaag nog lacht het kind luid om het wonder
Van snelle waterjuffers in het riet
't schrikt nog voor de bliksem en de donder
en 't schreit als het een staartster vallen ziet

Het kind wiegt weg en weer met de getijden
't wordt groter met het wassen van het meer
Eens zullen zijn dromen hem bevrijden
Van leugens en beloftes van weleer

De seizoenen vliegen weg en weer
De houten paarden gaan op en neer
Wij draaien op de molen van de tijd
We tollen rond, kunnen niet terug
Het heden vliegt voorbij
Want het rad draait rond en rond
In de eeuwigheid

Lente komt voor zomer,herfst voor winter
Zestien jaren liepen 't kind voorbij
Men zegt hem: neem je tijd,het duurt niet lang meer
Voor jij het rad vertraagt en dan ben je vrij...

De seizoenen vliegen weg en weer
De houten paarden gaan op en neer
Wij draaien op de molen van de tijd
We tollen rond, kunnen niet terug
Het heden vliegt voorbij
Want het rad draait rond en rond
In de eeuwigheid

Jaren kwamen langs, mijn zoon is twintig
Zijn dromen onherkenbaar door de tijd
Morgen maakt hij nieuwe,misschien betere
De toekomst heeft hem door haar spel verleid

De seizoenen vliegen weg en weer
De houten paarden gaan op en neer
Wij draaien op de molen van de tijd
We tollen rond, kunnen niet terug
Het heden vliegt voorbij
Want het rad draait rond en rond
In de eeuwigheid

Cannabis


Cannabis Composer(s): Jean-Claude Vannier - Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Jean-Claude Vannier; Todd Bishop



La mort a pour moi le visage d'une enfant
Au regard transparent
Son corps habile au raffinement de l'amour
Me prendras pour toujours
Elle m'appelle par mon nom
Quand soudain je perds la raison
Est-ce un maléfice
Ou l'effet subtil du cannabis?
Elle m'appelle par mon nom
Quand soudain je perds la raison
Est-ce un maléfice
Ou l'effet subtil du cannabis?
La mort ouvrant sous moi ses jambes et ses bras
S'est refermée sur moi
Son corps m'arrache enfin les râles du plaisir
Et mon dernier soupir

Femmes, Je Vous Aime


Femmes, Je Vous Aime
Composer(s): Claude Barzotti; A.M. Gaspard
Performer(s): Claude Barzotti



Elles vous font faire des enfants qu'elles emmènent en s'en allant
Les femmes vous prennent et puis vous jettent sont bien plus machos que les mecs
Où sont les femmes d'autre fois qui ne nous coupaient pas en trois
Le père, le mari et l'amant, c'était le même en d'autres temps

Un jour elles ont tout voulu et on leur a tout accordé
Nous sommes les dindons, les cocus de leur nouvelle liberté
Où êtes-vous femmes d'antans qui savaient faire en même temps
Et les enfants, et les tartines, et la tendresse et la cuisine

Oh ! femmes, femmes, femmes
On vous aimait pourtant plus un homme ne vous comprend
Femmes, femmes, femmes
Qu'avez-vous fait de nous nous sommes là regardez-nous
Femmes, on ne comprend plus rien du tout, on ne sait plus à quoi on joue
Femmes, plus aucun homme ne sait vraiment ce que vous voulez et comment
Femmes, femmes, femmes

Le temps de vouloir vivre à deux, vous voilà déjà reparties
Le temps d'avoir ce que l'on veut, on n'en a déjà plus envie
Où sont donc les femmes d'avant, celles qui nous laissaient le temps
De leur faire un moment la cour avant de leur faire l'amour

Oh! femmes, femmes, femmes
On vous aimait pourtant plus un homme ne vous comprend
Femmes, femmes, femmes
Qu'avez-vous fait de nous nous sommes là regardez-nous
Femmes, on ne comprend plus rien du tout, on ne sait plus à quoi on joue
Femmes, plus aucun homme ne sait vraiment ce que vous voulez et comment
Femmes, femmes, femmes

Femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes
Femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes, femmes

Oh, femmes, je vous aime

The Bold Pedlar And Robin Hood


The Bold Pedlar And Robin Hood
(Traditional)



There chanced to be a Pedlar bold
A Pedlar bold there chanced to be
He put his pack all on his back
And so merrily trudged over the lea

By chance he met two troublesome men
Two troublesome men they chanced to be
The one of them was bold Robin Hood
And the other was little John so free

O Pedlar, Pedlar, what is in thy pack?
Come speedily and tell to me
I've several suits of the gay green silks
And silken bowstrings by two or three

If you have several suits of the gay green silk
And silken bowstrings two or three
Then, by my body, cries little John
One half of your pack shall belong to me

O nay, O nay, said the pedlar bold
O nay, O nay, that can never be
For there's never a man from fair Nottingham
Can take one half my pack from me

Then the Pedlar he pulled off his pack
And put it a little below his knee
Saying, If you do move me one perch from this
My pack and all shall gang with thee

Then little John he drew his sword
The Pedlar by his pack did stand
They fought until they both did sweat
Till he cried, Pedlar, pray hold your hand

Then Robin Hood he was standing by
And he did laugh most heartily
Saying, I could find a man of smaller scale
Could thrash the Pedlar and also thee

Go you try, master, says little John
Go you try, master, most speedily
For by my body, says little John
I am sure this night you will know me

Then Robin Hood he drew his sword
And the pedlar by his pack did stand
They fought till the blood in streams did flow
Till he cried, Pedlar, pray hold your hand

O Pedlar, Pedlar, what is thy name?
Come speedily and tell to me
Come, my name I ne'er will tell
Till both your names you have told to me

The one of us is bold Robin Hood
And the other is little John so free
Now, says the Pedlar, it lays to my good will
Whether my name I choose to tell to thee

I am Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
And I travelled far beyond the sea
For killing a man in my father's land
And from my country was forced to flee

If you are Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
And travelled far beyond the sea
You are my mother's own sister's son
What nearer cousins can we be?

They sheathed their swords, with friendly words
So merrily they did agree
They went to a tavern and there they dined
And cracked bottles most merrily

The Boat That I Row


The Boat That I Row
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
and multiple other artists



I don't have a lot but with me that's fine
Whatever I got, well, I know it's mine
I don't go around with the local crowd
I don't dig what's in so I guess I'm out

I'm sayin' these things so you know me, baby
So you understand what I'm all about

The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get me there soon
But I got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that I row is big enough for two
That's me and you

There ain't a man in life tell me what to say
I choose my own side and I like it that way
I don't worry about the thinkgs that I'm not
There's only one thing that I want I ain't got

You know that I'm talking about you baby
So you better know and come along

Candy's Going Bad


Candy's Going Bad Composer(s): Barry A. Hay - George J. Kooymans First release by: Golden Earring - 1973



Candy took the pearls, got ahead of the girls
Got on top and found the secret entrance
Are you satisfied?
Through neon doors, 'cross killing floors
She got sucked into a champagne desert
Are you satisfied?

Daddy said: I'll break your bones
If you come home dressed in Peacock clothes
Mother said: quit the show
She didn't want the neighbours to know
Candy had to quit the show

Well, Candy didn't care, when she started her affair
With the studs and the mares of the night
Are you satisfied?
Teddy knows the rule, of the underground school
He's got Candy wrapped 'round his finger
Are you satisfied?

Daddy said: I'll break your bones
If you don't get your tricks off the phone
Mother said: quit the show
She didn't want the neighbours to know

Candy's going bad - got a room to let
Candy's going bad - got a pimp named Ted
Candy's going bad - Long Green's where it's at
Candy's going bad - she got stars in her head

Candy took the pearls, got ahead of the girls
Got on top and found the secret entrance
Are you satisfied?

Daddy said: I'll break your bones
If you come home dressed in Peacock clothes
Mother said: quit the show
I don't want the neighbours to know

Candy's going bad - got a room to let
Candy's going bad - got a pimp named Ted
Candy's going bad - Long Green's where it's at
Candy's going bad - she got stars in her head

Candy's going bad - got a room to let
Candy's going bad - she got stars in her head

Femme Objet


Femme Objet
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Quand je te vois passer, ma belle indépendante
Au son de la musique qui se joue des bas-fonds
Suspendant ta démarche voluptueuse et lente
Pour promener l'ennui de ton regard profond
Je t'attends comme un fauve, ma tigresse d'alcôve
Dans le jeu de miroirs de tes sous-entendus
Je n'ai que la mémoire d'un triangle entrevu

Attention! La passion
Se nourrit d'obsessions
N'oublie pas l'obsession
N'admet que l'apparence
Ton imagination
Carbure à des pulsions
Dont jamais la raison
Ne connaît l'existence

Je sais qu'il est des yeux des plus mélancoliques
Qui ne recèlent point de secrets sulfureux
Des écrins sans diamants, des rythmes sans musique
Plus vides et plus profonds que l'absence de feu
Je t'attends comme un fauve, ma tigresse d'alcôve
Dans le jeu de miroirs d'un triangle entrevu
Je n'ai que la mémoire de tes sous-entendus

Attention ! La passion
Se nourrit d'obsessions
N'oublie pas l'obsession
N'admet que l'apparence
Ton imagination
Carbure à des pulsions
Dont jamais la raison
Ne connaît l'existence

Quand je te vois danser, magnifique indolente
Les hanches insolentes et la crinière mouillée
Je me dis qu'il suffit que tu sois l'apparence
Pour faire monter en moi quelques grandes marées
Qu'importe ton absence et ton indifférence
Tu n'es qu'un simulacre et j'adore ta beauté

The Boa Constrictor Ate My Wife Last Night


The Boa Constrictor Ate My Wife Last Night
Simon Stokes & The Black Whip Thrill Band



This week at the pet store I bought a snake
I brought him home with me and I called him Jake
Last night I woke up from an awful dream
The last thing that I heard was my wife scream

Wow the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
The Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Ate my wife and ate her sister
I love that Boa Constrictor
Well the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night

He slithered from the house out to the street
And then he spied a cop upon his beat
And I have just one question
Did Jake get indigestion
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate the heat last night

Wow the Boa Constrictor ate the heat last night
The Boa Constrictor ate the heat last night
And I have just one question
Did Jake get indigestion
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate the heat last night
Take it away Thrill Band

Oh Jake returned to me late tonight
And once again I woke up in a fright
Cuz he's looking strange at me
And I can tell that he's hungry
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night

Wow the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
The Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Ate my wife and ate her sister
I love that Boa Constrictor
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night

The Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
The Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Ate my wife and ate her sister
I love that Boa Constrictor
Oh the Boa Constrictor ate my wife last night
Alright

Candy Store Blues


Candy Store Blues Composer(s): Eddie Beal - Nick Castle - Herb Jefferies Performer(s): Toni Harper; Maria Muldaur



Last night I dreamt that I owned a candy store
Last night I dreamt that I owned a candy store
Woke up this mornin' just like the day before

Got five pennies and I don't know what to do
Got five pennies and I don't know what to do
I need another nickel for the bubblegum I chew

There's a little wagon passin'
Every afternoon at four
And the bells they start to ringin'
Every time they pass my door

Yes, I love him
I love that good, good humour man
He's got lots of frozen custard
That's how this love began

He said, "Hey, little baby
If you didn't get enough
Don't you worry 'bout no money
You can put it on the cuff"

Yes, I love him
I love that good, good humour man
He's got lots of tutti-frutti
I could eat it by the can

Femme Sous Influence


Femme Sous Influence
Composer(s): J.M. Moreau; R. Musumarra
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan



D'un mot d'un regard
Tu me renverses et changes l'histoire
Tu planes sur ma vie
Immobile
Comme un aigle sur le Nil
Un jour de chaleur
Tu as planté ta force et ton cœur
Sur ma terre d'argile
Trop fragile
Comme un drapeau sur une île

{Refrain:}
Les yeux fermés je t'aime à l'avance
Quand tu es loin j't'écoute à distance
Je suis toujours et sans défaillance
Une femme sous influence
Et je te suis dans tes rêves immenses
Même dans le noir je te fais confiance
Je suis au fil de ton existence
Une femme sous influence

Sous le signe de toi
Je suis née un matin dans tes bras
Et j'ai vu le jour
Pour toujours sous influence d'amour
Ascendance heureuse
Pour toi je nage en eaux dangereuses
Même quand tu as tort
Je t'aime encore
Comme un volcan dans mon corps
{au Refrain}

Tu traces les couleurs
Les lignes de mon bonheur
Entre tes mains
Court mon destin
Sans fin
{au Refrain}

The Blues Is All I Ever Had


The Blues Is All I Ever Had
Composer(s): Bobby Troup
Performer(s): Julie London



Some folks always seem to find the good things
Other folks get mixed up with the bad
Don't ask me what I know about the good things
The blues is all I ever had

To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces
For those lucky few, I'm awful glad
My world's been a string of second places
The blues is all I ever had

When I first met him, I thought that maybe
He could change this lonely life I led
When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby"
Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said

Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now
Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad
Since he's gone, what is there left to try now?
The blues is all I ever had
