Radio


Radio
Composer(s): Bob Heatlie; Gordon Campbell
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens



Well, I got a girl whose as cute as can be
But she never plays no attention to me
She lives her life in a world full of stereo
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
That's all

Well I take her to the movies and it's just the same
We just get cozy and it's on again
Listen on the headphones tuned into her favourite show, ooh ooh
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All day long

I whisper sweet nothings inside her ear
But when I get close all I ever hear
Some cool DJ telling me it's gonna show, ooh ooh
Doesn't seem to be a way of getting inside her head
She talks to me when it's only if the battery's dead
But then she keeps a spare and it's back to rock and roll, oh yeah
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
That's all she ever wanna do

I got a girl whose as cute as can be
But she never pays no attention to me
She lives her life in a world full of stereo, ooh ooh
She's a hopeless case and I don't know what I can do
I rack my brains while she sings out of tune
Well she's switching me off and one of these days I'm gonna go, go yeah
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio

All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Yeah, all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio

Lollipop Man


Lollipop Man
Composer(s): Hammond - Hazlewood
Performer(s): Sweet



You go to the girl's school
And I go to the boy's school
Both seperated by a lollipop man
I must cross the street to
Get around to meet you
Therefore I have to pass a lollipop man

Lollipop man, there's a lollipop man
Who stands in the middle of the street
(Ain't he sweet)
There's a lollipop man, yeah a lollipop man
Hey, good golly there's a lollipop man

He carries out his duty
Isn't he a cutie
There in the middle with his lollipop pole
Opposite the high school
Right in front of my school
He's so incredible
He's really got soul

Lollipop man, lollipop man
Lollipop man, lollipop man
He won't let the traffic come between us
We can be together very soon
But he will make the traffic stop
With his giant lollipop
Looking just a little like a moon man

In a yellow rain coat
And a pair of gum boots
There in the midst of an incredible jam
Any kind of weather
Bringing us together
There stands a funny little lollipop man

Lollipop man, there's a lollipop man
Who stands in the middle of the street
(Ain't he sweet)
A lollipop man, there's a lollipop man
Hey, good golly there's a lollipop man...

Charmaine


Charmaine
Composer(s): Lew Pollack - Erno Rapee
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians
and multiple other artists



I can't forget the night we met
How bright were stars above
That precious memory lingers yet
When you declared your love

And then you went away
And now each night and day...

I wonder why you keep me waiting
Charmaine, my Charmaine
I wonder when bluebirds are mating
Will you come back again

I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same
I wonder if you ever think of me too
I'm waiting my Charmaine for you

Radar Love


Radar Love
Composer(s): Barry Hay; George Kooymans
Performer(s): Golden Earring



I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
My baby called, said she needs me here
It's half past four and I'm shifting gears
When she gets lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need to talk at all
We got a thing that's called radar love
We got a wave in the air
Radar love
Radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee is comin' on strong
The road has got me hypnotized
I'm spinnin' into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends a comfort coming in from above
Don't need a letter at all
Chorus
No more speed I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool, now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of clouds goes down real slow
And the radio plays some forgotten song
Brenda Lee is coming on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar lover gone
…We got a thing that's called radar love…

The Logical Song


The Logical Song
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
First release by: Supertramp - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
logical, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
clinical, intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am

Charly (Anne Léonard)


Charly Composer(s): Sébastien Balasko - Daniel Faure Performer(s): Anne Léonard



Charly:
Comme disait Freud, sur lequel j'ai fait un exposé
Absolument aaaapocalyptique la semaine dernière
L'attirance médiumnique de nos sexes opposés
Est inversément proportionnelle à l'attirance psychique……..

L'amour est compliqué, aujourd'hui les garçons
Ne savent plus flirter, simplement, sans raison
Chaaarly! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre ta conversation
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination

Je sais bien que tu meurs d'envie de m'embrasser
Mais tu racontes Freud avant de dessiner
Chaaarly! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre la conversation
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination

Dis: "Je t'aime!"
Prends-moi dans tes bras, et oublions Kafka

L'amour comme autrefois, c'est merveilleux, crois-moi!
Demande à ta maman, demande à ton papa
Ils s'embrassaient, tout simplement, en chantant …

Ta sensibilité prend de telles proportions
Que tu ne peux rien faire sans une explication
Chaaarly ! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre la conversation
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination

Charly:
L'hypnose sensorielle et ta structure environnante, ma chérie
M'interdit farouchement d'appliquer les théories marxistes
de notre masochisme décadent…..

Dans le contexte social actuel,je pense que l'union libre
Serait envisageable afin de permettre le recyclage
De notre métabolisme sexuel et d'éviter le paroxysme
De la paranoïa que menace…..

Je sais bien que tu meurs d'envie de m'épouser
Mais tu racontes Freud avant de dessiner
Chaaarly! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre la conversation
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination

Si tu m'aimes, prends-moi dans tes bras, et oublions Kafka!

Faisons comme autrefois, Charly, épouse-moi !
Demande à ma maman, demande à mon papa
Embrasse-moi, épouse-moi
Oh Charly, Charly………….

L'amour, c'est une fille qui rencontre un garçon
Et ça finit toujours de la même façon
Chaaarly! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre ta conversation
Je sens que ta libido dép…
Je sens que ta libido dép…
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination

Raconte-Moi La Mer


Raconte-Moi La Mer
Composer(s): Claude Delecluse
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Raconte-moi la mer
Dis-moi le goût des algues
Et le bleu et le vert
Qui dansent sur les vagues

La mer c'est l'impossible
C'est le rivage heureux
C'est le matin paisible
Quand on ouvre les yeux
C'est la porte du large
Ouverte à deux battants
C'est la tête en voyage
Vers d'autres continents

C'est voler comme Icare
Au devant du soleil
En fermant sa mémoire
A ce monde cruel
La mer c'est le désir
De ce pays d'amour
Qu'il faudra découvrir
Avant la fin du jour

Raconte-moi la mer
Dis-moi ses aubes pâles
Et le bleu et le vert
Où tombent des étoiles

La mer c'est l'innocence
Du paradis perdu
Le jardin de l'enfance
Où rien ne chante plus
C'est l'écume et le sable
Toujours recommencés
Et la vie est semblable
Au rythme des marées

C'est l'infinie détresse
Des choses qui s'en vont
C'est tout ce qui nous laisse
A la morte saison
La mer c'est le regret
De ce pays d'amour
Que l'on cherche toujours
Et qu'on n'atteint jamais

Raconte-moi la mer
Dis-moi le goût des algues
Et le bleu et le vert
Qui dansent sur les vagues

Versions In Other Languages:
1962 - Le Loco-Motion (Sylvie Vartan)

Everybody's doin' a brand-new dance, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with me
It's easier than learning your A-B-C's
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips, now
Come on, baby
Jump up
Jump back
Well, now, I think you've got the knack

Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me

Move around the floor in a Loco-motion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you get the notion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me

Charlotte Ou Sarah


Charlotte Ou Sarah Composer(s): Pierre Louki - Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens



N'ayant pas connu l'amour depuis plus de vingt ans
J'avais, disons, le cœur en veilleuse
Pourtant j'ai du sex-appeal et je suis bien portant
Mais pas de Juliette pour autant
Et voilà que dans ma vie tombent en même temps
Deux créatures ensorceleuses
Mais deux à la fois c'est beaucoup pour un débutant
Pardonnez si je suis hésitant

Je n'sais pas
Si je dois baiser Charlotte
Ou embras-
Ser Sarah
Charlotte a
De délicieuses culottes
Sarah a de beaux bras
Je n'sais pas
Si Charlotte sans culotte
Est mieux qu'Sa-
Rah sans bras
Si c'est la
Culotte qui me pilote
Voyez mon embarras
Je n' peux pas dire que je n'aime pas
Sarah à cause des culottes qu'elle n'a pas
Mais j' peux pas soutenir de même que
Charlotte ne me plaît pas à cause des bras de Sarah

Dans mon cas
Comment faire saperlotte?
Si je choi-
Sis Sarah,
Dans ses bras
La culotte de Charlotte
Pour sûr me manquera
Plus je rêve de cueillir ces fruits d'amour charmants
Et plus j'appréhende la cueillette
Me faudra-t-il les honorer simultanément
Et comment m'en sortir autrement?
Si je peux offrir mon cœur à chacune en donnant
Un ventricule et une oreillette
Il est d'autres attributs que je ne puis vraiment
Détailler inconsidérément

Je n'sais pas
Si je dois chasser Charlotte
Ou rembar-
Rer Sarah
Que fera
La culotte de Charlotte
Si Sarah baisse les bras?
Et si Sa-
Rah veut porter la culotte
Qu'est-c' que Char-
Lotte dira?
Car si Char-
Lotte a beaucoup de culottes
Sarah n'a que deux bras
Bien sûr Charlotte m'asticote, pour un cœur tant et tant de culottes, tentation!
Oui mais Sarah est polyglotte, une polyglotte sans culotte c'est bien pour la conversation

Me faudra-
T-il me donner à Charlotte
Et Sarah
À la fois?
Gare à moi
Si deux souris me pelotent
Je suis fait comme un rat
Je n' sais pas
Si je dois baiser Charlotte
Ou embras-
Ser Sarah
Charlotte a
De délicieuses culottes
Sarah a de beaux bras

Racing With The Moon


Racing With The Moon
Composer(s): Vaughn Monroe;
Paul Pope; John Watson
Performer(s): Vaughn Monroe; John Pizzarelli



Once we were all together
You, the moon and I
But on the night you left me
The moon raced back to the sky

Racing with the moon
High up in the midnight blue
And then all too soon
It’s lost from view

Racing with the moon
High up in the midnight blue
And then all too soon
It’s lost from view
Gazing at the stars
High up in the clouds of grey
But just like the moon
They fade away
In the blue heavens I see
Your face smiling at me
My heart will never be free
Until we’re back together
Racing with the moon
That is what I’ll always do
Till I overtake the moon and you

You better run
You better run

Charlie, T'iras Pas Au Paradis


Charlie, T'iras Pas Au Paradis Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë - Gilbert Bécaud Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Charlie, Oh Charlie t'iras pas au paradis
Charlie, Oh Charlie t'iras pas au paradis
Tes pensées sont mauvaises
Tu fais honte à ton diocèse
T'iras pas au paradis Charlie

Elle est là derrière un pilier
Je la regarde agenouillée
Aux jours de Pâques et de Noël
A la messe je ne vois qu'elle
Elle est belle comme la statue
De la Vierge à l'Enfant Jésus
Comment voulez-vous je vous prie
Que dans ces conditions je prie

Oh Charlie t'iras pas au paradis
Charlie, Charlie, t'iras pas au paradis
Mon paradis c'est elle et c'est tout
Et même si je scandalise
Quand je suis à l'église
Je pense à Marie
Aux yeux de Marie
Je pense à Marie
Aux mains de Marie
Au corps de Marie
Au cœur de Marie
Je pense à Marie-Louise

Come and get it
And get it now
If you don't get it
You're a paw

J'arrive une heure avant la messe
Pour la joie de la voir passer
Et pendant qu'elle est à confesse
Je suis jaloux de son curé
Je me lève et je m'agenouille
Je me sens comme crucifié
Par tous les regards qui me fouillent
Des grenouilles de bénitier

Oh Charlie, t'iras pas au paradis
Charlie, Charlie t'iras pas au paradis
Ton paradis je m'en fous
Mon paradis c'est elle et c'est tout
Et même si je scandalise
Le dimanche à l'église
Je pense à Marie
Je pense à Marie
Aux yeux de Marie
Aux mains de Marie
Au corps de Marie
Au cœur de Marie
Je pense à Marie-Louise

Come and get it
And get it now
If you don't get it
You're a paw

Tout à l'heure quand elle va sortir
J'vais la rater encore une fois
Tout à l'heure ces ballots vont rire
Sur le zinc du café tabac
Rigolez les gars rigolez
J'y mettrai le temps qu'il faudra
Mais un dimanche vous la verrez
Sortir de l'église à mon bras

Oh Charlie, tu l'auras ton paradis
Charlie, Charlie, tu l'auras ton paradis
Ell' sera bell' bell' tout en blanc
J'aurai un chapeau et des gants
Et même si ça scandalise
Un beau jour à l'église
Je s'rai le mari, je s'rai le mari, je s'rai le mari...

De Marie-Louise

Race To The End


Race To The End
Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Vangelis
Performer(s): Demis Roussos;
and various other artists



There is but one freedom
Man running along
Each step that he's taking
A step to his soul

The passion and courage
It takes to be there
the spirit of freedom
Alive in the air

Whenever the running man awakes
To challenge to glory
he knows that he can turn
the key once more to unlock the soul

The way becomes clearer
The way is complete
The need that of winning
Admit no defeat

The circles together
Hold hands to the sky
The freedom of running
The freedom to try

Let no one surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
The game is to learn to live again
A race to the end
To try to the end
The game is to learn to live again
A race to the end

The Living Years


The Living Years
Composer(s): Mike Rutherford - B. A. Robertson
First release by: Mike + The Mechanics - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists



Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts

So Don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be O.K.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Charlie, The Midnight Marauder


Charlie, The Midnight Marauder Composer(s): Bagby - Davis Performer(s): The Limeliters



Calling car 41
Calling car 41
Investigate a code 7
At 116 west 14th St. and report
Looks like Charlie's at it again

Oh Charlie was raised in the city
He scoffed at the suburban life
Til satan disguised as a salesman
Bewitched and bewildered his wife

She heard of the pleasures of rural life
With barbecues under the trees
And so for a mere forty thousand
He purchased their dreamhouse with ease

He rose before dawn every morning
To dreamily fall into line (yawn)
And follow that bumper before him (Beep Beep)
To be on the job before nine

His dreamhouse of crumbling stucco
Was more like a nightmarish load
His weekends were spent in hard labor
He dug and he pruned and he mowed

One night an electrical failure
Blacked out every street in the track
Our hero drove up in confusion
But couldn't locate his new shack

Each crackerbox looked like the one next door
As far as the eye could see
He cursed to himself as he pondered
Now where in the world can it be

He searched til a door looked familiar
Than tried out his key in the lock
The door open wide and he entered
Poor Charlie was on the wrong block

He strode to the couch of his sleeping love
He kissed her and backed off in fright
The girl he had kissed was a stranger
Who screamed and ran out in the night

They caught him a few minutes later
Still rooted and shaking with fear
They called him the midnight marauder
And put him away for a year

And put him away for a yea-ea-ear
And put him away for a year
They called him the midnight maurauder
And put him away for a year

When a salesman is taunting suburbia
He's doing it purely for help
Remember the story of Charlie
And tell him to move there himself

And tell him to move there himsel-el-elf
And tell him to move there himself
Remember the story of Charlie
And tell him to move there himself

Si me dijeran pide un deseo
preferiría un rabo de nube
un torbellino en el suelo
y una gran ira que sube
Un barredor de tristezas
un aguacero en venganza
que cuando escampe parezca
nuestra esperanza

Si me dijeran pide un deseo
preferiría un rabo de nube
que se llevara lo feo
y nos dejara el querube
Un barredor de tristezas
un aguacero en venganza
que cuando escampe parezca
nuestra esperanza

The Little White Pill On The Little Green Hill


The Little White Pill On The Little Green Hill
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



I went to see a doctor
'Cause I was feeling ill
He told me to take a little red tea
And a little white pill

I followed his description
A simple one to fill
He told me I'd find a little black cup
On a little green hill

But the little white pill
Rolled down the hill
And thwarted my endeavor
It wouldn't roll up
Back to the cup
And now I'm worse than ever

Oh, I never do eat
What's sour or sweet
And never fats or starches
But the little white pill
Rolled down the hill
And gave me broken arches

Oh, I never will tame
That ancient game
Invented by the Scottish
And I've got to admit
That I should quit
And sing myself a schottische
