The Roof Comes Tumbling Down
The Roof Comes Tumbling Down
Performer(s): The Riverboys
Well I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
The roof comes tumbling down
Yeah I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
The roof comes tumbling down
'Cause you see me baby when I get home
I take it out on you
You wind me up, my hands come up and bang!
Your head is too
I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
The roof comes tumbling down
I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
The roof comes tumbling down
(Oh, Rock!)
Well I love you baby, but you hate me
You know that's what you said
You wind me up, my hand comes up and bang!
Your gonna end up dead
I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
The roof comes tumbling down
I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
The roof comes tumbling down

Close Friends
Close Friends
Performer(s): The Poni-Tails
Close friends
Ahh, ahh
I hope that you don't tell
Close friends
Ahh, ahh
I think we're doing well
I love you darling
More than I can say
I need you darling
Every minute of the day
I'm sorry now
For the things I didn't do
But must we spend our lives
Just being close friends
Ahh, ahh
I ask you not to say
Ahh, ahh
Don't think of us that way
So baby, please come back
To me, someday
You went away
You left me all alone and blue
You won't believe this
But I'm still in love with you
I'm sorry now
For the things I didn't do
Or must we spend our lives
Just being close friends

Retour (Charles Aznavour)
Retour

Performer(s): Charles Aznavour;
Les Compagnons de la Chanson; Pierre Roche
Des lacs, des plaines
Des montagnes, des bois
Mes souvenirs m'entraînent
Sous le ciel de chez moi
Jeunesse heureuse
Qui par les jours d'hiver
Sur les pentes neigeuses
Va glisser au grand air
Tout cela me hante
Me ramène un instant sous mon toit
Mes rêves chantent
Les refrains que l'on chantait chez moi
Mon coeur espère
Malgré moi je souris
Bonjour ma mère
Je reviens au pays
Je suis parti de ville en ville
Par les sentiers, par les chemins
Vers le hasard de mon destin
Fragile
L'air était plein de souvenirs
Je n'ai gardé que souvenirs
Des lacs, des plaines
Des montagnes, des bois
Mes souvenirs m'entraînent
Sous le ciel de chez moi
Jeunesse heureuse
Qui par les jours d'hiver
Sur les pentes neigeuses
Va glisser au grand air
Tout cela me hante
Me ramène un instant sous mon toit
Mes rêves chantent
Les refrains que l'on chantait chez moi
Mon coeur espère
Malgré moi je souris
Bonjour ma mère
Je reviens au pays

The Rolling Of The Stones
The Rolling Of The Stones
(Traditional)
Will you go to the rolling of the stones
Or the dancing of the ball?
Or will you go and see pretty Susie
And dance among them all
I will not go to the rolling of the stones
Or the tossing of the ball
But I will go and see pretty Susie
And dance among them all
They hadn't danced but a single dance
More than once or twice around
Before the sword at her true love's side
Gave him his fatal wound
They picked him up and carried him away
For he was sore distressed
They carried him and buried him all
in the greenwoods
Where he was wont to rest
Pretty Susie she came awandering by
With a tablet under her arm
Until she came to her true love's grave
And she began to charm
She charmed the fish out of the sea
And the birds out of their nests
She charmed her true love out of his grave
So he could no longer rest
Will you go to the rolling of the stones
Or the dancing of the ball?
Or will you go and see pretty Susie
And dance among them all
I will not go to the rolling of the stones
Or the tossing of the ball
But I will go and see pretty Susie
And dance among them all

Close Every Door
Close Every Door
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Tim Rice
Performer(s): Tim Rice
Close every door to me
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me
Hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find
My own peace of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own
Just give me a number
Instead of my name
Forget all about me and let me decay
I do not matter
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely then throw me away
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own peace of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own

Retouches À Un Roman D'Amour De Quatre Sous
Retouches À Un Roman D'Amour De Quatre Sous
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Madame, même à quatre sous
Notre vieux roman d'amour sou-
ffrirait certes quelque mévente
Il fut minable. Permettez
Que je farde la vérité
La réinvente {2x}
On se rencontra dans un car
Nous menant en triomphe au quart
Une nuit de rafle à Pigalle
Je préfère affirmer, sang bleu!
Que l'on nous présenta chez le
Prince de Galles {2x}
Oublions l'hôtel mal famé
L'hôtel borgne où l'on s'est aimés
Taisons-le, j'aurais bonne mine
Il me paraît plus transcendant
De situer nos ébats dans
Une chaumine {2x}
Les anges volèrent bien bas
Leurs soupirs ne passèrent pas
L'entresol, le rez-de-chaussée
Forçons la note et rehaussons
Très au-delà du mur du son
Leur odyssée {2x}
Ne laissons pas, quelle pitié!
Notre lune de miel quartier
De la zone
Je préconise
Qu'on l'ait vécue en Italie
Sous le beau ciel de Napoli
Ou de Venise {2x}
Un jour votre cœur se lassa
Et vous partîtes - passons ça
Sous silence - en claquant la porte
Marguerite, soyons décents
Racontons plutôt qu'en toussant
Vous êtes morte {2x}
Deux années après, montre en main
Je me consolais, c'est humain
Avec une de vos semblables
Je joue, ça fait un effet bœuf
Le veuf toujours en deuil, le veuf
Inconsolable {2x}
C'est la revanche du vaincu
C'est la revanche du cocu
D'agir ainsi dès qu'il évoque
Son histoire: autant qu'il le peut
Iltâche de la rendre un peu
Moins équivoque {2x}

Close Enough For Love
Close Enough For Love
Composer(s): Jack Bruce
Performer(s): Jack Bruce
Close enough
Close enough for love
Will the pieces flow together
Close enough
Fitted like a glove
People can be friends and lovers
Spending the time
Feelin' that I'm
Living outside love
Without love
Nothing can grow
Close enough
Close enough for love
Play the changes through together
Feel it love
Growing my heart
Watch the fire start
To burn love
Spending the time
Feelin' that I'm
Living without love
Without love
Nothing tastes right
Without love
Without love
Close enough
Close enough for love
When push comes to shove you find love
Close enough
Close enough for love
People can be friends and lovers

Retirada (Javier Solis)
Retirada
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists
La distancia entre los dos es cada día más grande
de tu amor y de mi amor no está quedando nada
sin embargo el corazón no quiere resignarse
a escuchar el triste adiós que sea tu retirada
Cuando te hayas ido ya pedazo de mi vida
si aguanté la soledad recuérdame un poquito
porque yo te supe amar derecho y sin mentiras
y te voy a recordar por Dios que muy bonito
Déjame algo de recuerdo
una lágrima y un beso
y un cachito de tu pelo
de mí no te lleves nada
porque ya lo tienes todo
yo soy tuyo solo tuyo
La distancia entre los dos es cada día más grande
de tu amor y de mi amor no está quedando nada
sin embargo el corazón no quiere resignarse
a escuchar el triste adiós que sea tu retirada

The Rock Of Gibraltar
The Rock Of Gibraltar
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
(Gibraltar is standing alone)
That's why they call me the rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my heart is made of stone
So don't you try to lead me to the altar
Because Gibraltar is standing alone
(Gibraltar is standing alone)
I've travelled all over from city light to clover
I'm selling brushes door to door
The ladies know me well they're buying what I sell
But I never let `em ask for any more
And I never put my toes in a door that might be closin'
I try to use my winning ways
But when I know for certain the lady is a-flirtin'
I tell her I'll be back in thirty days
(That's why they call me the rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my heart is made of stone)
So don't you try to lead me to the altar
Because Gibraltar is standing alone
(Yes, Gibraltar is standing alone)
Now when a lady rushes I sell her two more brushes
And then I leaver her at the door
I'm always thinking of the freedom that I love
`Cos I'm a man of freedom to the core
So it's not that I am choosy with Isabel or Susie
I just like to lead a happy life
Give me women, wine and song, then I know I can't go wrong
Until I take a woman for a wife
That's why they call me the rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my heart is made of stone
So don't you try to lead me to the altar
Because Gibraltar is standing alone
(Yes, Gibraltar is standing alone)
So it happened one morning without any warning
I knew that I had met my doom
She was pretty, she was sweet, she swept me off my feet
She didn't even have to buy a broom
They used to call me the rock of Gibraltar
And now they say my heart is made of clay
But after she had led me to the altar
Then old Gibraltar crumbled away
Old Gibraltar took a tumble that day!

Close Enough
Close Enough
Composer(s): Robbie Buchanan; John Lang
Performer(s): Robbie Buchanan; Laura Branigan
I've been waiting all of my life
For you, stranger, you are a light
The light that shines in me
The one who holds the key to my love forever
Close enough
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We'll do it together
We're close enough
Open arms reach out to my soul
Hold me closer, in from the cold
And now the time has come
To keep the love we found here forever
Close enough
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We'll do it together
And now, now the time has come
To keep the love we found just close enough
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We'll do it together
Close enough
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We do it together
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We'll do it together
Close enough
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We'll do ...

Retirada (Jaime Roos)
Retirada
Performer(s): Jaime Roos
Recordaron sus labios
La diferencia
Del gusto del café
"El mundo es uno solo
Y las nostalgias
Espejismo nomás"
Se clavó su mirada
En la leyenda
Que ordenaba en francés
"Mis pies sobre la ruta
Mi pensamiento
Vuela universal"
El viento lo entonaba
Y se acordaba
De un saludo cordial
La música inmigrante
Le preparaba
Un encuentro casual
Y así como venía
Le dió de punta
A una pelota fugaz
Flotaba aún la idea
Contradiciendo
El sentido común
De corte sensiblero
Palabra seria
Ritmo trascendental
Era una retirada
Que al despedirse
Quiere regresar
"...Se va se va la murga
Aunque ya nunca
Pueda decir adiós
Y a la gentil barriada
Va dedicada
Nuestra humilde canción..."
"Mis pies sobre la ruta
Los sentimientos
Señalan al Sur"
"El rumbo es uno solo
Y las nostalgias
Nos ayudan a andar"
Era una retirada
Que al despedirse
Quiere regresar
"...Se va se va la murga
Aunque ya nunca
Pueda decir adiós..."

The Roast Beef Of Old England
The Roast Beef Of Old England
Composer(s): Richard Leveridge
When Mighty Roast Beef was the Englishman's Food
It ennobl'd our veins and enriched our Blood
Our Soldiers were Brave and our Courtiers were Good
Oh! The Roast Beef of Old England
And Old English Roast Beef
But since we have learned from all vapouring France
To eat their Ragouts, as well as to Dance
We are fed up with nothing but vain Complaisance
Oh! The Roast Beef...
Our Fathers, of old, were Robust, Stout and Strong
And kept open House, with good cheer all day long
Which made their plump Tenants rejoyce in this Song
Oh! The Roast Beef...
But now we are dwindled, to what shall I name
A sneaking poor Race, half begotten ... and Tame
Who Sully those Honours that once shone in Fame
Oh! The Roast Beef...
When good Queen Elizabeth sate on the throne
E'er Coffee and Tea and such slip-slops were known
The World was in Terror if e'er she did frown
Oh! The Roast Beef...
In those days, if Fleets did presume on the Main
They seldom, or never, return'd back again
As witness, the Vaunting Armada of Spain
Oh! The Roast Beef...
Oh! Then we had stomachs to eat, and to fight
And when wrongs were a-cooking to do ourselves right
But now we're a ... I could, but good Night
Oh! The Roast Beef...

Close As Pages In A Book
Close As Pages In A Book
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Sigmund Romberg
Performer(s): Vic Damone
and various other artists
We’ll be close as pages in a book
My love and I
So close, we can share a single look
Share every sigh
So close that before I hear your laugh
My laugh breaks through
And when a tear starts to appear
My eyes grow misty too
Our dreams won’t come tumbling to the ground
We’ll hold them fast
Darling, as the strongest book is found
We’re bound to last
Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart
We’ll be close as pages in a book
Never to part
Our dreams won’t come tumbling to the ground
We’ll hold them fast
Darling, as the strongest book is found
We’re bound to last
Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart
We’ll be close as pages in a book
Never to part

Retiens La Nuit
English Titles: Hold Back The Night; Hold Back The Sun
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday; Charles Aznavour
{Refrain:}
Retiens la nuit
Pour nous deux jusqu'à la fin du monde
Retiens la nuit
Pour nos cœurs dans sa course vagabonde
Serre-moi fort contre ton corps
Il faut qu'à l'heure des folies
Le grand amour raye le jour
Et nous fasse oublier la vie
Retiens la nuit
Avec toi, elle parait si belle
Retiens la nuit
Mon amour, qu'elle devienne éternelle
Pour le bonheur de nos deux cœurs
Arrête le temps et les heures
Je t'en supplie à l'infini
Retiens la nuit
Ne me demande pas d'où me vient ma tristesse
Ne me demande pas, tu ne comprendrais pas
En découvrant l'amour je frôle la détresse
En croyant au bonheur, la peur entre en mes joies
{Refrain}

The Road To The Promised Land
The Road To The Promised Land
Composer(s): Paul Brady
Performer(s): Paul Brady
'Tell you I don't understand it' he said
'What are you hoping to gain?
Rocking this boat and you'll end up capsizing
Throwing it all down the drain
Said to quit chasing the end of the rainbow
Told me we'd find nothing there
But you and I know, girl, there's something else out there
So come on with me, off on a journey
Far away out on the sea
Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning
Soon you and I will be free
Wo-oh darling I know there is danger
On the road to the promised land
But, oh, the beauty we'll find
Lying here watching the world from a window
Seeing it passing us by
Knowing we're fooling ourselves when we think
We'll be happy up here till we die
Getting so good at inventing excuses
Hiding the feeling inside
But it's growing so strong, I can't wait any longer
So come on with me, off on a journey
Far away out on the sea
Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning
Soon you and I will be free
Wo-oh darling I know there is danger
On the road to the promised land
But, oh, the beauty we'll find
Some getting by, by keeping their eyes closed
Some are too blind they can't see
Others live hiding behind stained glass windows
But that never helped you or me
Wasting the years stumbling round in the shadows
With no one to light up the way
But now we're together, we'll guide one another, so
Come on with me, off on a journey
Far away out on the sea
Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning
To a place where we both will be free
Oh darling I know there is danger
On the road to the promised land
Oh leaving our heartaches behind
Oh darling the beauty we'll find
When we rise up in the morning
Sailing out on the ocean
Just you and me babe
When we lie down in the evening
Oh, the beauty we'll find

Composer(s): Pierre Dudan; Bruno Coquatrix
Performer(s): Pierre Dudan
and various other artists
Je suis né avec des yeux d'ange
Et des fossettes au creux des joues
J'ai perdu mes joues et mes langes
Et j'ai cassé tous mes joujoux.
Je m'suis regardé dans un' glace
Et j'ai vu que j'avais rêvé
Je m'suis dit: faudra bien qu'j'm'y fasse...
Tout finira par arriver...
Et je m'en vais clopin-clopant
Dans le soleil et dans le vent
De temps en temps le cœur chancelle...
Y a des souv'nirs qui s'amoncellent...
Et je m'en vais clopin-clopant
En promenant mon cœur d'enfant...
Comme s'envole une hirondelle...
La vie s'enfuit à tire-d'aile...
Ça fait si mal au cœur d'enfant
Qui s'en va seul, clopin-clopant...
Tout l'amour que l'on a vu naître...
Tes lèvres douces, parfum de miel...
Nos deux fronts contre la fenêtre...
Nos regards perdus dans le ciel...
Le train noir hurlant dans la gare...
Le monstrueux désert des rues...
Tes mots d'adieu, tes mots bizarres...
Depuis dix mois, tu n'écris plus...
Et je m'en vais clopin-clopant
Dans le soleil et dans le vent
De temps en temps le cœur chancelle...
Y a des souv'nirs qui s'amoncellent...
Et je m'en vais clopin-clopant
En promenant mon cœur d'enfant...
Comme s'envole une hirondelle...
La vie s'enfuit à tire-d'aile...
Ça fait si mal au cœur d'enfant
Qui s'en va seul, clopin-clopant...

Retales, Chapuza Y Pastiche
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Retales, chapuza y pastiche
remiendos, tapujos y parches
todo funciona a pegote
qué carnaval, qué pitote
vaya chapuza que hay
Echa el freno, Madaleno
que me pisas el terreno
equilibrios y piruetas
al son de una pandereta
Coyunturo y estructuro
pa'luego llevarme un duro
el parásito pelele
se hace el amo de la tele
El desnudo prohibido
los bebés nacen vestidos
Dedo Gratias por la gracia
de la ilustre dedocracia
Es mucho más conveniente
ser de Dios que ser decente
valga enchufe por talento
y a vivir todos del cuento
Retales, chapuza y pastiche
remiendos, tapujos y parches
todo funciona a pegote
qué carnaval, qué pitote
vaya chapuza que hay
Aquí el que no corre, vuela
aunque al prójimo le duela
dólar santo en los misales
compra pecados mortales
Pareceres contrastados
Rex, Coronas o Ducados
tú te asocias, yo me asocio
y ampliemos el negocio
Eres guapo y con dinero
cuánto heredas, Baldomero
al pan vino, al vino, torta
confundir es lo que importa
Aleluya, Aleluya
cada uno con la suya
y aquí va la moralina
chúpate esa mandarina
Retales, chapuza y pastiche
remiendos, tapujos y parches
todo funciona a pegote
qué carnaval, qué pitote
vaya chapuza que hay
