The Hostage
The Hostage
Composer(s): Giorgio Moroder - Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Donna Summer
Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Lady we've just kidnapped your husband
Have $800,000 ready by tomorrow night
and lady no police
or you'll never see your husband alive again
Lady:
Hallo
I remember standing there so petrified
my hand frozen to the phone
as a stranger's words that caught in my ears
and chilled me to the bone
Some dark tragedy had come right home to me
they'd kidnapped my man and his life was in their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands
Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Lady, here's your husband through
to warn not to play any games
Husband:
Hi honey listen I'm okay
Just make sure you do whatever they tell you
and whatever you do don't go to the police!
Lady:
Well I couldn't raise that kinda money fast
so I was left no other choice
so I called the police and they came in fast
saying "leave it up to us
just do as they told
the ransom's in this bag
we'll watch over you
and we'll have your husband back too"
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands
Lady:
Hallo
Kidnapper:
Listen very carefully lady
Drive out to the abandoned shack on Highway 16
throw the package of money out the window and keep driving
and remember lady no police!
Well my heart was heavy as I made that drive
I was sure something was wrong
I soon found the shack
I threw out the bag and I just kept driving on
Then the shots rang out and I turned my car about
On the ground one lay but the other one had gotten away
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life was at the mercy of their hands
He was a hostage, a hostage
His life depending on their gold demands
Lady:
Well they found my husband a few days later
Yes, the funeral's tomorrow

C'est Une Gamine Charmante
C'est Une Gamine Charmante
Composer(s): Albert Willernetz - Francis Solar - Henri Christiné
Performer(s): André Bourvil
Quand je la croisai l'autre soir, c'était à minuit rue d'Athènes
La voyant seule qui se promène, je lui dis: "Mon enfant, bonsoir"
J'ajoutai: "À cette heure indue, que faites-vous donc dans la rue?"
Naïvement, et sans savoir, elle me dit: "Je fais le trottoir"
C'est une gamine charmante, charmante, charmante
Qui possède une âme innocente, innocente
En elle tout est poésie, poésie
Elle répond au joli nom d'Aspasie
Devant la blancheur et l'éclat de son cou plus blanc que l'albâtre
Je lui dis: "Quel coup de théâtre, quel coup du ciel, quel coup d'état!"
"Oh!", fit-elle d'un p'tit air honnête, "Vous n'connaissez que mon coup d'tête
Mais vous serez chipé, je l'crains, quand vous connaîtrez mon coup de rein!"
C'est une gamine charmante, charmante, charmante
Qui possède une âme innocente, innocente
En elle tout est poésie, poésie
Elle répond au joli nom d'Aspasie

Free Ride
Composer(s): Dan Hartman

The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused 'bout which to go
So I flew in to give you a hand
And lead you into, the promised land
Chorus:
Come on and take a free ride, free ride
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride!
All over the country, I'm seeing the same
Nobody's winning, at this type of game
We got to do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers
Must come from within
Chorus
Chorus
Come on and take a free ride yea, yea, yea, yea......

The Host, The Ghost, The Most Holy-O
The Host, The Ghost, The Most Holy-O
Composer(s): VanVliet
Performer(s): Captain Beefheart
Why, not even a rustler'd have anything to do
with this branded bum steer world
this pirate flag headlong disaster course vessel
misguided charted this nautical numbskull hull
sink in silence smoke - blow your chest out in hope
sits spread-eagle on poor men
piled high on truth mountain - last speak in clarity's chain
you'll not be thrown but dive and sink
your pockets filled with earthly burdens
when they could be filled with light and back with wings
the sky is dark in daytime
and still the blackbird's beauty lyrics clean
sing ye brothers and end this miserable thing
and brush the dark sky in light
and let the moon bell crack and ring
upon the mast of mercy
for she is a beautiful thing
I watched her cut with clarity
the sea of Satan's red rolling water
that stung my eyes with vile vile brine
and clung to the vine that choked Mary's only Son
God in vain to slaughter
I can't darken your dark cross door no more
the light lovely one with the nothing door
and oh that pours life water

C'est Une Fille Comme Toi!
C'est Une Fille Comme Toi!
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
C'est une fille comme toi
Qu'il me faut à moi
J'ai le cœur qui bondit
Dès que je te vois
Je te trouve du tonnerre
Tu as tout pour me plaire
Pourtant tu ne fais rien pour ça
Une fille comme toi
J'en avais rêvé
Tu es là devant moi
Et je suis comblé
Ton être se délivre
Et c'est ma joie de vivre
Que dans tes yeux je vois briller
J'ai du soleil plein la tête
Et tout me semble beau
Je veux crier
Crier à tous les échos oh oh oh
C'est une fille comme toi
Qu'il me faut à moi
Les copains c'est certain
N'en reviendrons pas
Tu me dis que tu m'aimes
Ma vie est sans problèmes
Avec une fille comme toi
J'ai du soleil plein la tête
Et tout me semble beau
Je veux crier
Crier à tous les échos oh oh oh
C'est une fille comme toi
Qu'il me faut à moi
Les copains c'est certain
N'en reviendrons pas
Tu me dis que tu m'aimes
Ma vie est sans problèmes
Avec une fille comme toi

Free Man In Paris
Free Man In Paris
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell;
and various other artists
"The way I see it," he said
"You just can't win it...
Everybody's in it for their own gain
You can't please 'em all
There's always somebody calling you down
I do my best
And I do good business
There's a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
They're trying to be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers
And telephone screamers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way
I'd just walk out those doors
And wander
Down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
Nobody was calling me up for favors
No one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song

The Horses
The Horses
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Rickie Lee Jones
First release by: Rickie Lee Jones - 1989
We will fly way on high
Where the cool winds blow
Or in the sun laughing having fun
With all the people we know
If the situation should keep us separated
I know the world won't fall apart
You will free the beautiful bird
Caught inside your heart
Can you see her oh she flies so proud
Cast her wild wings over water and cloud
That's the way it's gonna be little darling
We'll go riding on the horses
Way up in the sky little darling
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
You will grow until you go
I'll be right there by your side
Even then a whispering wind
Will call me to you in the night
I hear all the people of the world
In my one bird's cry
I see them trying every way they know
To make their spirits fly
Can you see her moonlight in her eye
Coming from under my wing
You were born to fly
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
We'll go riding on the horses
Way up in the sky little darling
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

C'est Une Andalouse
C'est Une Andalouse
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Pauvre loup tremblant et blessé
Mon cœur pleure sa vieille liberté
Depuis que les dents farouches
D'un monstre hâlé
Déchirent mon cœur et mon passé
C'est une Andalouse
Et elle peut prendre ma vie
Quand elle sourit
Quand elle se fait douce
Elle me blesse aussi tant pis...
C'est une Andalouse
Et son cœur insoumis
Dévore ma vie
Et sans qu'on la pousse
Elle peut tuer aussi, tant pis
Mon Dieu bénissez les brebis
À qui l'amour simple est permis
Au fond de quels orages
De quelles mêlées
Fût créé ce monstre pressé
C'est une Andalouse
Et elle peut prendre ma vie
Quand elle sourit
Quand elle se fait douce
Elle me blesse aussi tant pis...
Au fond de ta vie toi qui ris
Toi qui te crois bien à l'abri
Demande aux dieux superbes, de ton pays
De t'épargner cette angoissée
C'est une Andalouse
Et elle peut prendre ma vie
Quand elle sourit
Quand elle se fait douce
Elle me blesse aussi tant pis...

She's a good girl, loves her mama
loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day, livin' in Reseda

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
All the vampires, walkin' through the valley
Move west down, Ventura Blvd.
And all the bad boys, are standing in the shadows
All the good girls, are home with broken hearts
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
I wanna glide down, over Mulholland
I wanna write her, name in the sky
I wanna free fall, out into nothin'
Gonna leave this, world for awhile
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
And I'm free, free fallin'
Oh!
Free fallin'
And I'm free, oh! free fallin'

The Honeysuckle And The Bee
The Honeysuckle And The Bee
Composer(s): William H. Penn - Albert H. Fitz
Performer(s): Arthur Collins
and multiple other artists
On a summer afternoon
Where the honeysuckles bloom
When all nature seemed at rest
‘Neath a little rustic bower
Mid the perfume of the flower
A maiden sat with one she loved the best
As they sang the songs of love
From the arbour just above
Came a bee which lit upon the vine
As it sipped the honey-dew
They both vowed they would be true
Then he whispered to her words she thought divine
You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee
I’d like to sip the honey sweet
From those red lips, you see
I love you dearly, dearly
And I want you to love me
You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee
So beneath that sky so blue
These two lovers fond and true
With their hearts so filled with bliss
As they sat there side by side
He asked her to be his bride
She answered “Yes” and sealed it with a kiss
For her heart had yielded soon
‘Neath the honeysuckle bloom
And thro’ life they’d wander day by day
And he vowed just like the bee
“I will build a home for thee”
And the bee then seemed to answer them and say
You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee
I’d like to sip the honey sweet
From those red lips, you see
I love you dearly, dearly
And I want you to love me
You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee

C'est Un Rocker
C'est Un Rocker
((Adapted from: I'm A Rocker (Chuck Berry) - 1970))
Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Eddy Mitchell
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1974
Tu sais, parfois, la vie me réserve des choses drôles
Les gens oublient, puis redécouvrent le Rock and Roll
Et si je chante l'amour ou bien n'importe quoi
Qu'importe le sujet, les gens disent de moi
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller"
Pourtant, dans rocker, il y a aussi le mot cœur
Et la mode rétro avec ses "Ouap do ouap"
Vient twister dans ma tête et chanter près de moi
"Tu es rocker, tu es roller"
L'avenir, le passé ne peuvent pas me changer
Les chanteurs décadents au "Ttt ttt" hésitant
Me regardant chanter, disent d'un air horrifié
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller
Quelle brutalité dans ses pantalons serrés"
Si je bois dans un bar trois petits verres de trop
Qu'éclate une bagarre, les gens crient aussitôt
"C'est ce rocker, c'est ce roller"
Si l'on ne vit pas comme eux, les bourgeois deviennent hargneux
Si je traverse la rue en négligeant le bras du flic près du feu
Les gens disent de moi
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller
Il n'a aucun respect pour les gardiens de la paix"
Si je mange en gourmet dans un dîner de choix
Qu'importe ma tenue, les gens diront de moi
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller
L'estomac d'un roller se limite aux cheeseburger"
Les faux intellectuels, journalistes étroits
S'emparent de ma musique pour écrire sur moi
"C'est un rocker, c'est un roller
Dans le contexte actuel de l'évolution sexuelle"
Tous les faiseurs de fric, les escrocs promoteurs
Me font de grands sourires, je reste franc-tireur
Je suis un rocker, je suis un roller
Je chante ce que je veux à l'instant ou je le veux
{Rock, rock, rock and roller...}

Free Demo
Free Demo
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Free n'a pas d'économies
Presque un toit
Et juste un lit
Et pourtant
Free sourit...
Free aime le vent et la pluie
Au moins, là
Il est servi
On ne trouve ça
Que loin de chez lui
Et c'est pour ça
Que Free sourit
Que Free sourit...
Free est heureux à Paris
Si ce scandale se poursuit
On fera une pétition
Pour le renvoyer
Dans sa région...
Et en attendant
Free sourit...
Free sourit...
Rhum et citron
Sucre et menthe fraîche
Coulent entre les seins
De sa princesse
Vers son ventre
Gonflé de vie...
Et c'est pour ça
Que Free sourit
Et qu'il est toujours
Un peu parti
Un peu parti...
Free, il a volé son nom
Quand il était tout petit
Sur un disque
Où il était écrit Free Demo
Il croyait
Petit délire
Que ça voulait dire
Démocratie...
C'est aussi pour ça
Qu'aujourd'hui
Oui, c'est pour ça
Que Free sourit...
Free sourit...
Et si sa princesses tient parole
Un petit Free
Une petite Demo
Viendront et iront à l'école
Et ils croiseront notre vie...
Et c'est pour ça
Que Free sourit...
Et c'est pour nous
Que Free sourit...
Free sourit...

The Honeymoon Song
Composer(s): Mikis Theodorakis - William Sansom
Performer(s): The Beatles
and multiple other artists
I never knew that a day
like today lay before us
I've got the sun in my heart
and my heart's in the sun
Skies are as bright
as your eyes
the horizon is open
Love is the ceiling
feelings are reelings
free as the air
Forever on and forever
forever on side by side
who ever knew that we two
could be free as we'd fancy
fancy is free
but are we bound
to each other by love
to each other by love
Who ever knew that we two
could be free as we'd fancy
fancy is free
but are we bound
to each other by love
to each other by love
to each other by love
to each other by love

Well, oh, well, oh, ouap, ouip, ouip, ouip ...
Le patron du garage
Est debout devant moi
En m'agrippant le bras
Me dit à haute voix
J'ai l'affaire du siècle pour toi
Cette moto {cette moto}
Je te la vends à crédit, net d'impôt
Elle n'a presque, presque pas roulé {hey, hey}
Avec elle tu pourras emmener {hey, hey}
La fille dont tu as toujours rêvé {hey, hey}
Ce type m'a piégé, haemmm
C'est un piège, piège {tombé dans le piège}
La fille au tee-shirt rouge
Est montée derrière moi
En effleurant mon bras
Elle m'a dit tout bas
Je sais ce que tu ne sais pas
Je sais l'amour {sais l'amour}
Je sais l'amour fait, l'amour donne des cours
Aimer comme on ne t'a jamais aimé {hey, hey}
Exaucer tes rêves les plus cachés {hey, hey}
Au long je te ferai tout oublier {hey, hey}
Cette fille m'a piégé, ho-houuuu
C'est un piège, piège {tombé dans le piège}
Well, oh, well, oh, ouap, ouip, ouip, ouip ...

Free As The Wind
Free As The Wind
French Title: Papillon (aka Toi Qui Regarde La Mer)
Composer(s): Hal Shaper; Jerry Goldsmith
Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
Yesterday's world is a dream like a river
that runs through my mind
Made of fields and the white pebbled stream
that I knew as a child
Butterfly wings in the sun
taught me all that I needed to see
For they sang sang to my heart
oh look at me look at me
Free as the wind free as the wind
that is the way you should be
Love was the dream of my life
And I gave it the best I knew how
So it always brings tears to my eyes
when I think of it now
Gone like the butterfly days
And the boy that I once used to be
But my heart still hears a voice
Telling me look, look and you will see
There's no regret that I feel
For the bitter sweet taste of it all
If you love there's a chance you may fly
If you fall, well you fall
Rather the butterfly life
To have lived for a day and been free
For my heart still hears a voice
Telling me look and you will see

The Homing Waltz
The Homing Waltz
Composer(s): Johnny Reine - Tommy Connor
Performer(s): Dickie Valentine; Vera Lynn
A crowd stood around you
The night when I found you
They each wanted you
In the old homing waltz
Though you never knew me
You smiled and came to me
And I found you mine
In the old homing waltz
This sweet melody
That brought you to me
Will linger forever
In my memory
I found what I prayed for
The arms I was made for
The night when we danced
To the old homing waltz
Though you never knew me
You smiled and came to me
And I found you mine
In the old homing waltz
This sweet melody
That brought you to me
Will linger forever
In my memory
I found what I prayed for
The arms I was made for
The night when we danced
To the old homing waltz

C’est Un Petit Rien
Composer(s): Al Dubin - Vincent Rose - Tobias
Performer(s): Jean Gabin; Mistinguett
L’homme que l’on voit
Mon vrai chinois
Qui va souvent les voir
Je m’dis comme ça
Mais, qu’est-ce qu’elle a?
Qui fait qu’ils s’arrêtèrent (?)
Et contre tout sur elle
C’est un rien, voyez-vous, c’est un rien
Et c’est tout, car ce rien, qui me fait belle
C’est un ruban, un coup de fou
Droit de rire, un petit rien
Qui s’est passé des accroche-coeurs
Défendeurs (?)
Ces mollets, prends-te les
Moi je vois, réponds-toi
C’est ma voix, que tes dentelles
Deux soutiens-riens, et ça fait que l’effet, oh oui
C’est un rien, mes vaux-riens
C’est un rien
Pas de serpent, de volement
T’es mon tempérament
T’es mon gentil, et ça suffit
Pour qu’ils se laissent prendre
Un coup par te défendre
C’est un rien, voyez-vous, c’est un rien
Et c’est tout, car ce rien, me considère
Quand je te dis, mon coco, mon chéri, mon mimi
Viens visite ta p’tit (?), mon petit choux
Je t’en pris
Le désir, aussitôt, tout ma faute
Car ces mots-là m’en sortent elles
C’est très coquet
C’est assez défait
Oui, oui
C’est un rien, mes vaux-riens
C’est un rien

Free As A Dove
Free As A Dove
Composer(s): Michael Pinder
Performer(s): Michael Pinder
One day I asked aloud, amidst the dark confusion
I asked "Where could be found?"
the answer to our problems
And then, out of the dark, a voice was saying "Listen...
...Listen to your heart, we are all wise within ... and ...
Only you, only you can change the way you are
And only you can find your morning star
Through the day while you're working, do your hands feel like clay
Or save it for a rainy day...
Only you, only you can change the way you feel...
And only you can beat the Karmic wheel
Through the day when you're thinking
Do you know who you are...
In the night when you're dreaming
Do you know where you are...
Is your home a distant star?
Keep your head wide open...
Do not fall for the same old things that you did before...
This world's cold... religions they'll lead you anywhere
But the secret door... on your second floor
This time around, you've got to see from the highest mountain
And then you'll find you've got to feel like the depth of the sea
All light and sound is Perpetual Motion...
If you understand then, one day, you'll be free...
...Free as a Dove..."
