The Garden In Our Back Yard
The Garden In Our Back Yard
Composer(s): Jeff Branen - James Brockman
Out in our town everybody there
Even tho the Mayor tries to do his share
Teachers, Preachers, digging everywhere
We're as busy as can be
One old soldier close to ninety three
With a shovel on his shoulder said to me
I've been told I'm going to propose
To a girl named Rose Little turnip nose
Radish hair and freckles, I suppose
I have bought a carrot ring
Rosie, Rosie
Just the proper thing
I can cauliflower to breakfast, lettuce sing
You ought to see the little garden in our back yard
It's like a farm in Illionis
With turnips and tomatoes
Cabbage and potatoes 'Twould fill your little heart with joy
The boys are figthing in the trenches you know what that means
That's why I'm working mighty hard
I'm goin' to raise a little army of "Navy beans"
In our backyard
You ought to see the little garden in our back yard
It's where the old barn used to stand
The cows are in the kitchen
All of us are itchin'
To cultivate that strip of land
The prices going going up is the groc'ry man's yarn
But really I don't give a darn
We've got a bushel of potatoes but no more barn
In our back yard

((Adapted from: Sweet Nothin's (Brenda Lee) - 1959))
Composer(s): Ronnie Self - Guy Bertret - Roger Berthier
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1960
Han han honey
Chérie
Si tu voulais rentrer tes griffes
Hum ce s'rait bien
Et quitter ton air agressif
Hum ce s'rait bien
Si tu t'décidais à m'embrasser
Tout est tout feu et de l'amour dans tes yeux
Ce serait bien
Hum ça s'rait bien
Si tu me donnais ton téléphone
Hum ce s'rait bien
Ma vie serait moins monotone
Hum ce s'rait bien
Le jour et la nuit en prenant l'écouteur
Tu entendrais les battements de mon cœur
Hum ce s'rait bien
Hum ce s'rait bien
Enfin j'ai pu t'emmener un soir
Hum c'était bien
Dans un cinéma des boulevards
Hum c'était bien
Oh! mais je t'en prie
La prochaine fois chérie
Ah! Si tu venais
Sans ta mère avec toi
Ce s'rait bien
Hum ce s'rait bien
Hum ce s'rait bien
Hum ce s'rait bien...

The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart
The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart (aka Heart Of My Heart)
Composer(s): Ben Ryan
Performer(s): The Four Aces
and multiple other artists
I sometimes wish I was a kid again
Down in the old neighbourhood
Just to be with Charlie, with little Joe and Pete
Boy, we had a quartet that was mighty hard to beat
I'd love to stand down by that cellar door
Just to hear that Quartet sing once more....
"Heart of my heart", I love that melody
"Heart of my heart" brings back a memory
When we were kids on the corner of the street
We were rough and ready guys
But oh, how we could harmonise
"Heart of my heart" meant friends were dearer then
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten
If once more I could listen
To the gang that sang "Heart of my heart"

Ce Sont Des Gosses
Ce Sont Des Gosses
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Quand je t'embrasse
Au milieu de la rue
Ils nous regardent
Et pensent d'un air indulgent
Ce ne sont que des enfants
Des gosses
Quand j'enlace tes épaules nues
Dans la glace
Je les vois dire en souriant
Ce ne sont que des enfants
Des gosses
Mais nous
Nous savons où va notre amour
Bien loin
Bien plus loin que le jour
Ce qui compte ce sont tous nos rêves
C'qu'ils racontent
On s'en moque éperdument
Nous ne sommes plus des enfants
Des gosses
Quand je regarde nos photos de vacances
Par mégarde ils entrent et disent en passant
Mon dieu c'qu'il est enfant
Un gosse
En colère
Si j'crie que je t'aime
Rien à faire
On me répond gentiment
Tu parles comme un enfant
Un gosse
Mais nous
Nous savons où va notre amour
Bien loin
Bien plus loin que le jour
Laisse les dire jusqu'à c'qu'ils comprennent
Laisse les dire jusqu'à c'qu'ils apprennent enfin
Qu'on est plus des gamins
Des gosses
Ouh des gosses
Ouh des gosses
Ouh des gosses
Ouh des gosses
Ouh!

Performer(s): Enrico Caruso;

Take thou this rose
This little tender rose
The rarest flower
In all God's garden fair
And let it be
While yet its crimson glows
An emblem of the love
I proudly bear
Take thou this heart
The heart that loves thee well
And let it flame
Before thy shrine, my own
Take thou my heart
For oh, your dear eyes tell
God fashioned it for you
For you alone

Oh they danced on the ceiling
And they danced on the wall
At the Gandy Dancer's ball
Hey! Swing around, Swing around
Swing around the Jimmy John
Swing around, Swing around
The Jimmy, Jimmy John
Swing around, Swing around
Swing around the Jimmy John
Swing the pretty girl round
The Jimmy, Jimmy John
The Gandy Dancer is a railroad man
And his work is never done
With his pick and his shovel and his willing hands
He makes the railroad run
There's Macanaw Mack and Toledo Jack
And the boys from Idaho
And the Frisco kid and Saginaw Sid
And good old Cotton-eyed Joe
Oh they danced on the ceiling
And they danced on the wall
At the Gandy Dancer's ball
Hey! Swing around, Swing around
Swing around the Jimmy John
Swing around, Swing around
The Jimmy, Jimmy John
Swing around, Swing around
Swing around the Jimmy John
Swing the pretty girl round
The Jimmy, Jimmy John
The boys will gather at the great affair
The Gandy Dancer's ball
A-kissin' their ladies with perfumed hair
And prancin' round the hall
They got the biggest band in all the land
And the rhythm rocks the room
And they holler out with a mighty shout
When the big bass drum goes boom
Oh they danced on the ceiling
And they danced on the wall
At the Gandy Dancer's ball
Hey! Swing around, Swing around
Swing around the Jimmy John
Swing around, Swing around
The Jimmy, Jimmy John
Swing around, Swing around
Swing around the Jimmy John
Swing the pretty girl round
The Jimmy, Jimmy John
The railroads bring `em to the great affair
The Gandy Dancer's ball
An' every line is represented there
The big ones and the small
There's the MKT and the old SP
And the Lee High Valley too
The C and J and the Santa Fe
The Southern and the Sioux
Oh they danced on the ceiling
And they danced on the wall
At the Gandy Dancer's ball
Hey! Swing around, Swing around
Swing around the Jimmy John
Swing around, Swing around
The Jimmy, Jimmy John
Swing around, Swing around
Swing around the Jimmy John
Swing the pretty girl round
The Jimmy, Jimmy John
They danced all day
And they danced all night
They all danced till the broad daylight
At the Gandy Dancer's ball
(Swing around, swing around
Swing around, swing around
The Jimmy John)

Ce Soleil-Là
Ce Soleil-Là
Composer(s): Brice Homs - Michel Fugain
Performer(s): Michel Fugain
Y avait le vent des jours où y a du vent
L'océan qui dansait devant
Y avait la cime des séquoias
Juste au-dessus de ça
Y avait ce grain de lumière
Qu'on ne voit qu'au bord du désert
Mais si j'avais su peindre, je crois
Je n'aurais regardé que toi
Ce soleil-là
Y avait ce soleil-là
Qui donnait à ce moment-là
Je ne sais, je ne sais quoi
Ce soleil-là
J'aimais ce soleil-là
Qui donnait à ce moment-là
Ce je ne sais quoi
Qui arrêtait le temps
Et tout n'était que toi
Y avait le vert des rives et des rivières
Dans la brûme du matin clair
Y avait les chutes du Niagara
Juste au-dessous de ça
Y avait ce rien de moiteur
Qu'on ne trouve qu'à l'équateur
Mais si j'avais su peindre, je crois
Je n'aurais regardé que toi
Ce soleil-là
Y avait ce soleil-là
Qui donnait à ce moment-là
Je ne sais, je ne sais quoi
Ce soleil-là
J'aimais ce soleil-là
Qui donnait à ce moment-là
Ce je ne sais quoi
Qui arrêtait le temps
Et tout n'était que
Ce soleil-là
Jour après jour
Ce soleil-là
J'aurais toujours
Ce soleil-là
Tant que tu seras là
Tu seras là...

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
So they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
La-din-da...
I'm talking 'bout you and me
and the games people play
Oh they make one another cry
Break their hearts and they say goodbye
Cross their hearts and they hope to die
That the other was to blame
Neither one would ever give in
So they gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the way it might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
La-din-da...
I'm talking 'bout you and me
and the games people play
People walkin' up to ya
Singin' 'Glory, Hallalueah"
And they try to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord
Gonna they teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And the further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am
La-din-da...
I'm talking 'bout you and me
and the games people play

Ce Soir, Je T'ai Perdu
Ce Soir, Je T'ai Perdu
Composer(s): François Feldman - Jean-Marie Moreau
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Je pleure sans fin toute cette eau de chagrin
je griffe les murs le soir autour de moi
je cri toute seule où je noircis des feuilles
à l'ombre des volets, le cœur violet
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu
je n'avais plus que toi
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu
mise à nue, j'ai froid sans toi
Je tourne en rond de la chambre au salon
j'efface les traces du diable inoubliable
je dors jamais et même si c'est pas vrai
sois sage pour ma douleurs au moins une heure
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu
je n'avais plus que toi
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu
mise à nue, j'ai froid sans toi
Je veux pas défaire l'amour,
et je m'accroche aux moindres bruits de ton retour
et je déchire mes mains qui tremblent
qui chavirent jusqu'au poison jusqu'au délire
je touche le fond... je ne sais plus rire
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu
je n'avais plus que toi
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu
mise à nue, j'ai froid
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, perdu
je n'avais plus que toi
Ce soir je t'ai perdu, o perdu
mise à nue, j'ai froid sans toi, sans toi

Performer(s): Glen Gray
I will gather stars out of the blue
For you, for you
I'll make a string of pearls out of the dew
For you, for you

Carpets of clover I'll lay at your feet
Oh, there's nothing in this world, I wouldn't do
For you, for you

Io avevo una bambola
bella come una rosa

Bocca rossa, pelle bianca

mi fidavo di lei
Ma che bella quella bambola
che con gli occhi mi parlava
e che cosa mi diceva

Era tutto un sentimento

e vola via col vento

Ce Soir Mon Amour
Ce Soir Mon Amour
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Ce soir mon amour je ne t'aime plus
Tu es plus loin que la distance qui nous sépare
Et d'autant plus absente que tu n'es nulle part
Plus étrangère que la première venue
Ce soir mon amour je ne te cherche plus
Parmi mes souvenirs au fond de ma mémoire
Je ne t'attends plus sur le quai d'aucune gare
Je me souviens à peine t'y avoir attendue
Je sais que nous buvions du vin après l'amour
Que nos nuits commençaient quand se levait le jour
Comme un torrent d'ébène tes cheveux sur ton cou
Et ton regard meurtri quand tu fais les yeux doux
Ce soir mon amour je ne te trompe plus
Avec cette fille qui dort à mes côtés
J'étais seul je lui ai demandé de rester
Je suis seul très souvent et je m'y habitue
Ce soir mon amour tu ne me manques plus
Tu ne me manques pas il me manque d'aimer
De ne plus être inutile inanimé
De n'avoir rien à perdre et d'avoir tout perdu
Je connais ta folie je connais ta pudeur
Je sais qu'on se ressemble comme frère et sœur
Je connais ton odeur je connais ton parfum
Je te connais par cœur et je ne sais plus rien
De toi mon amour que je n'aime plus
Sans arriver à me sentir enfin libre
Pareil à un danseur qui perdrait l'équilibre
Comme un prince en disgrâce comme un ange déchu

For You (Bruce Springsteen)
For You
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen;
and various other artists
Princess cards she sends me with her regards
Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy
To see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her cheshire smile I'll stand on file
She's all I ever wanted
You let your blue walls stand in the way of these facts, honey
Get your carpet baggers off my back
Girl give me time to cover my tracks
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for
Oh I came for so much more
And I know you that too
And I know you know that's true
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you
Crawl into my ambulance
Your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all to me now
While you've got the strength to speak
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue
With their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now
If only you could ask
Don't call for your surgeon
Even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time
But your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back
Don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows
And I've rammed through all your doors
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars
And you should know that's true
You should know that too
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you
Don't call for your surgeon
Even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time
But your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back
Don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows
And I've rammed through all your doors
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars
You should know that's true
You should know that too
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you

Ce Soir Je Ne Dors Pas
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall
Ce soir, je ne dors pas
Comme la toute toute première fois
Où tu es venu contre moi
Où j'avais peur de toi
Ce soir, je ne dors pas
Comme la toute toute première fois
Où tu dormais dans mes bras
Où je prononçais ton nom tout bas
Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant
Était si différent de toi
Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant
Était bien autrement, pourquoi
Ce soir je ne dors pas
C'est la toute toute première fois
Que je te sais loin de moi
Et le vide n'en finit pas
Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant
Était si différent de toi
Quand j'étais enfant, mon prince charmant
Était bien autrement, pourquoi
Ce soir je ne dors pas
C'est la toute toute première fois
Où je comprends que c'est toi
Ce garçon que je n'attendais pas

For What It's Worth
For What It's Worth
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield;
and various other artists
There's something happening here
And what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware
Think it's time we stop children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
A-getting so much resistance from behind
And we stop, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs
Mostly say "hooray for our side"
It's time to stop, hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step outta line, the men come and take you away
You betta stop, hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' now
Stop, hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' now
You betta stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' now
Stop, children ..........
