J'Ai Trouvé Le Seigneur


J'Ai Trouvé Le Seigneur
English Title: I Have Found The Lord
Composer(s): Jeannine Deckers
Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers aka Soeur Sourire



J'ai trouvé le Seigneur sur la plage
J'ai trouvé le Seigneur dans un
Blanc coquillage

Petit bateau sur l'eau
Vogue, vogue
Petit bateau sur l'eau
Vogue mon âme
Vers le Très-Haut

J'ai trouvé le Seigneur dans la brise
J'ai trouvé le Seigneur dans le
Vent qui me grise

J'ai trouvé le Seigneur sur la grêve
J'ai trouvé le Seigneur sur la
Houle qui rêve

J'ai trouvé le Seigneur dans la brume
J'ai trouvé le Seigneur dans la
Rosée des dunes

Petit bateau sur l'eau
Vogue, vogue
Petit bateau sur l'eau
Vogue mon âme
Vers le Très-Haut

This Is My Country


This Is My Country
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
First release by: The Impressions - 1968



(do-do-do)
Some people think we don't have the right
To say it's my country
Before they give in, they'd rather fuss and fight
Than say it's my country
I've paid three hundred years or more
Of slave driving, sweat, and welts on my back
This is my country

(do-do-do)
Too many have died in protecting my pride
For me to go second class
We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know
That you must face us at last
And I know you will give consideration
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
This is my country

(do-do-do)
And I know you will give consideration
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
This is my country
(do-do-do)

Crabsody In Blue


Crabsody In Blue
Performer(s): AC/DC



Well they moved on down
And they crawled around
Walkin' sideways
Sideway-walkin'
give me the blues
And you start to scratch
When they start to hatch
Walkin' sideways
Sideway-walkin'
give me the blues
Oh but when start to bite
Then it's time you saw the light
for an appoinment
(I know)
Before you start to scream
Listen you apply the cream
Blues-ointment
(rub it in)

Well the doctor said
We got to make them dead
Walkin' sideways
Sideway-walkin'
give me the blues
And when you start to scream
That's when you apply the cream
Blues-ointment
Yeah and when it starts to itch
You go out and you take a bitch
for an appoinment
Well you rub it on
And you rub it in
Stops 'em walkin'
Sideway walkin'
gives them the blues
Sideway walkin'
Sideway walkin'
They got the blues
Give 'em the blues
They got the blues
Give 'em the blues

J'Ai Trop De Peine


J'Ai Trop De Peine
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'ai trop de peine
Depuis que je suis loin de toi
Jours et nuits n'importe où
Je m'ennuie
Je ne sais plus quoi faire de moi

Le temps qui passe
Est vraiment perdu sans toi
J'ai trop de peine

Tu m'écris ton amour
Tu dis que tu n'oublies pas
Mais tout ça n'est pas pareil
Pour moi

J'ai trop de peine
À la pensée que je ne peux pas
T'embrasser quand je veux
Te serrer te garder longtemps dans mes bras

Ce temps qui passe
Est vraiment trop long pour moi
J'ai trop de peine

This Is My Body


This Is My Body
Composer(s): Dana - Fr. Frank Pavone
Performer(s): Dana, Gretchen Harris, Mark Girardin



Dana:
This is my body
An empty shell without you now
I see you in the face of ev'ry child
This is my body
But you are always in my heart
Always in my mind
If I could choose again
There'd be no choice for me but you
I'd do what I must do
I'd even give my life for you

This is my body
You cannot tell me what to do
It's not up to you, I will decide
This is my body
And I alone will choose
If this life within me lives or dies
This is my body
I'll do what I must do
This is my life
I will not sacrifice my life for you

Gretchen:
This is my body
Given up for you
That you might live eternally
This is my body
Let thy will be done, not mine
Groping at the breast, crushed as the wine
This is my body
I do what I must do
I give my life
A sacrifice of love for you

Both:
This is my body

Gretchen:
Given up for you

Dana:
I have the right to
I have so much to lose
Don't tell me what to do

Both:
This is my body

Gretchen:
Let thy will be done, not mine

Dana:
If I could choose again
There'd be no choice for me but you
I don't know you

Both:
I'll never hold you

Dana:
You're always there
Awake or in my dreams

Gretchen:
I give my life

Dana:
This is my life
I cannot sacrifice my life

Gretchen:
I would do anything

Both:
For you

Dana:
I can see no other way
The choice is me or you

Gretchen:
Father, forgive them
They know not what they do

Dana:
How can I forgive myself
For what I've done to you

Mark:
My wounds have set you free
Do this in remembrance of me
This is my body
Given up for you
That you might live eternally
This is my body
Let thy will be done, not mine
Groping at the breast, crushed as the wine

All:
This my body
I do what I must do

Mark:
I give my life
A sacrifice of love

Both:
I give a sacrifice

All:
For you

Dana:
I give my life
I give my life, a sacrifice

All:
A sacrifice of love for you

Crabs Walk Sideways


Crabs Walk Sideways
Composer(s): Barry Resnick
Performer(s): The Smothers Brothers



Herman met Sally on the beach one night
The sea was calm and the starfish were bright
She looked at him and he looked at her it was true love at first sight

Well, Herman told his folks about the girl that he found
They said
"Herman there must be other girls around
'Cause crabs walk sideways, lobsters walk straight and
We won't let you take her for your mate"

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight
And you can't take a crab for your mate

Well, Herman told his Sally and it broke her heart
She loved that lobster right from the start
He took her in his claws and said "I'll always be yours
But still, dear, we'll have to part"

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight
And you can't take a crab for your mate

She said, "Let me talk to your mom and dad
I'll show them crabs really aren't that bad"
But they turned her away
"What will the neighbors say"
And they laughted at the funny walk she had

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight
And you can't take a crab for your mate

Then one day on the sandbar what did Herman see
But his little ol' Sally walking straight as can be
He said, "Sweetheart now they'll take you in the family!"
She said, "Don't you sweetheart me! Hic!"

Crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight
And you can't take a crab for your mate

J'Ai Tout Mon Temps


J'Ai Tout Mon Temps
Composer(s): J. Hammer;
Claude Moine; O. Blackwell
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Je voudrais tant que tu prennes peur
Et qu'il t'arrive un grand malheur
Je serais là
Tout près de toi
Et tu tomberais dans mes bras
Non non jamais tu ne m'as regardé
Tu as toujours voulu m'éviter
Je suis patient
J'ai tout mon temps
J'y penserai en t'embrassant
Je veux t'aimer
Ce sera bon
Te le prouver
En t'emmenant dans ma maison
Je rêve
Quand même
Je voudrais bien avoir raison
Jamais je n'oserai te parler
Comment faire pour te décider
Je suis patient
J'ai tout mon temps
J'y penserai en t'embrassant
Je veux t'aimer
Ce sera bon
Te le prouver
En t'emmenant dans ma maison
Je t'aime
Quand même
Je vais en perdre la raison
Mais comment fair' pour m'évader
Dans ma prison je suis enchaîné
Je suis patient
J'ai tout mon temps
J'y penserai en t'embrassant

This Is Living


This Is Living Composer(s): Ben Weisman - Fred Wise First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires - 1961/1962



This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me

It's good to laugh and sing, don't worry about a thing
Wear a happy smile, cut loose and run a mile
If you relax and just enjoy it all, life has got to be a ball

This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me

It wouldn't mean a thing
If I could be a king
I really wouldn't care
To be a millionaire
I'd rather find someone to love a lot
Live and give it all I've got

This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me

Don't wanna settle down
I gotta move around
I gotta lot of time
I'm gonna wait and find
The kinda girl who's heart is restless too
The kind who feels the way I do

This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me

Cosy Inn


Cosy Inn (aka Cozy Inn)
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Slim Dusty; Hank Thompson



There's a place I know where the lovers all go almost ev'ry night
It's the place to go, for the lights are low and the beat is right
Now when you're feelin' down, don't be mopin' around, come along my friend
Yes, everything's rosy, down at the Cosy Inn

Now, there's Big Mama Lou singin' just for you in her sultry style
There's old Skinhaired Pete with the uptown beat and a winnin' smile
There's a cat named Jones on the saxophone and old Guitar Slim
Yes, everything's rosy, down at the Cosy Inn

Now when the bouncer checks and stretches his neck
but there's a nothin' wrong
And you see big smiles on the juveniles when he's fin'ly gone
There's old Freeloadin' Sam and that glass in his hand its a part of him
Yes, everything's rosy, down at the Cosy Inn

Now, there's Big Mama Lou singin' just for you in her sultry style
There's old Skinhaired Pete with an uptown beat and a winnin' smile
Now a cat named Jones on the saxophone and old Guitar Slim
Yes, everything's rosy, down at the Cosy Inn
Yes, everything's rosy, down at the Cosy Inn

J'Ai Tout Lu, Tout Vu, Tout Bu


J'Ai Tout Lu, Tout Vu, Tout Bu
Composer(s): J. Lanzmann; Jacques Dutronc
Performer(s): Jacques Dutronc



De France-Dimanche à Diderot
L'humanité devient pipeau
Lénine et le Satyricon
Construisez la vie Napoléon
Ici-Paris le plan du métro
Puis les pensées de Mao
Le voisin et le dictionnaire
De l'ajax et puis du Sancerre

J'ai tout lu, tout vu, tout bu
J'ai tout su, tout vu, tout lu
J'ai tout vu, tout su, tout lu

T'as ton Karl Marx les frères Goncourt
Et frappe la cassette de Saint-Flour
Le potin et les gros pipis
Un p'tit coup de beaujo s'inscrit
Les p'tits gestes et les élections
Les constellations les magots
Des trucs savants des trucs cochons
C'est pour ça que je suis un con

J'ai tout lu, tout su, tout bu
J'ai tout su, tout lu, tout bu
Je sais tout sur tout et tout
J'ai tout lu, tout su, tout bu
J'ai tout lu, tout su, tout bu

This is it
I could feel the way my heart is beating faster
This is it

This is it
It's for real, a little part of ever after
This is it

Tickety-tick-a-tock, a-tickety-tick-a-tock, a-goes my heart

That this is it

Ring the bell, I'm gonna fight the final round
'Cause this is it

Tickety-tick-a-tock, a-tickety-tick-a-tock, a-goes my heart
Tickety-tick-a-tock, a-tickety-tick-a-tock

I won't laugh at you when you boo-hoo-hoo
Coz I love you
I can turn my back on the things you lack
Coz I love you

I just like the things you do mm
Don't you change the things you do mm

You get me in a spot and smile the smile you got
And I love you
You make me out a clown then you put me down
I still love you

I just like the things you do mm
Don't you change the things you do mm

Yeah

When you bite your lip you're gonna flip your flip
But I love you
When we're miles apart you still reach my heart
How I love you

I just like the things you do mm
Don't you change the things you do mm

Only time can tell if we get on well
Coz I love you
All that's passed us by we can only sigh hi-hi
Coz I love you

I just like the things you do mm
Don't you change the things you do mm

No, no, no

Repeat
la la laa la la laa, laa, laa..

J'Ai Tout Donné


J'Ai Tout Donné
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'ai tout laissé
J'ai tout donné
Tout partager l'amour
La haine pas la fierté
Je tiens toujours mes chiens en laisse
J'ai plus de nom, j'ai plus d'ami j'suis sans adresse

Jamais, jamais, je ne trahis mes sens
Et si je brille quelques fois par mes absences
Chacun de nous a les maux qu'il a choisis
Au jour le jour je vis ma vie
J'en paye le prix

Destinée c'est l'envers du décors
Un monde à part où sont exclus les remords
Et si je dérange, si je refuse de me taire
Un feu me brûle, on parlera d'enfer

Seul, oui, je fais face
Je suis à ma place
Rien d'anormal, le bien le mal
Je le dépense, tout en lésant
Je prends, je jette
Rien ne m'arrête
Oh non!

Rock 'n roll!

Je suis issu des murs d'en face
En cage de peintures et de crasse
La violence des idées qui informe
Face aux préjugés qui déforment

Après cela le mal de vivre
Quand nos promesses trouvent une raison,
Et puis pour moi en prison,
La rage des sans espoir me rend ivre

La misère au quotidien
L'avenir sans devenir
N'être que des chiens
Toujours prêts à bondir
Qui aboient pour s'en sortir

Sortir d'ici pour jamais faiblir
Ne jamais fléchir... hé
Pour ne pas mourir, non

This Is It
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David



Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, the night of nights
No more rehearsing and nursing a part
We know every part by heart

Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, you'll hit the heights
And oh what heights we'll hit
On with the show this is it

Tonight what heights we'll hit
On with the show this is it

J'Ai Tous Les Plans


J'Ai Tous Les Plans
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadianmandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Y a des gens hauts-placés
Des cerveaux des surdoués
Des donneurs de leçon
qui savent tout sur tout, des épées
Des faiseurs de morale
qui cassent le tien à t' répéter

Mon grand, j'ai tous les plans
Mon grand, j'ai tous les plans

Comme j'ai un manque de savoir-vivre
C'est sûr je n'oublierai pas de mourir
Psychologiquement, je suis navrant
Même Si Sigmund Freud voulait m'préter son divan
Pour peu qu' j' sois cassé
J'dors quand j' suis allongé
J'aime les filles qui prétextent
l'allergie aux chaleurs d'été
"Pas c' soir, j'ai la migraine
bu trop d' champagne, je dois m' rentrer"

Mon grand, j'ai tous les plans
Mon grand, j'ai tous les plans

En amour tout comme en politique
Y a peu d' vrais mais beaucoup d' carriéristes
Des voleurs, des tout'petits, des grands
imbus de leurs personnes
persuadés d'avoir tous les plans
Mais tous les plans!

Mon grand, j'ai tous les plans
Mon grand, j'ai tous les plans

On s'appelle
Et, on s' fait une bouffe
Mais vraiment, toute simple
Au Fouquet's, au club, oui bien sûr
J' veux pas d'esbroufe
Laisse faire, c'est pour moi
J' m'occupe de tout
De tout et de rien
De rien surtout

This Is For You


This Is For You
Performer(s): Mick Ronson



This is for you! How are you doing? It's been a while
Where have you been? What have you seen? And did you smile?
Like I'm Supposed to do
Like I remember you

This is for me
How am I doing? Oh I'm doing fine...
Where have I been? What have I seen? Only your smile
While thinking of me and you
And of the times with you
Like I'm supposed to do

Doo Doodo...

Aaaahh... This is for us
Until tomorrow I'll say goodbye
Believe me I must
If I where to stay
I'd only cry
While thinking of me and you
And of the times with you
Like I'm supposed to do

Aaaaahhh...

Coyote


Coyote
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1976



No regrets Coyote
We just come from such different sets of circumstance
I'm up all night in the studios
And you're up early on your ranch
You'll be brushing out a brood mare's tail
While the sun is ascending
And I'll just be getting home with my reel to reel...
There's no comprehending
Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
And the lips you can get
And still feel so alone
And still feel related
Like stations in some relay
You're not a hit and run driver, no, no
Racing away
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway

We saw a farmhouse burning down
In the middle of nowhere
In the middle of the night
And we rolled right past that tragedy
Till we turned into some road house lights
Where a local band was playing
Locals were up kicking and shaking on the floor
And the next thing I know
That Coyote's at my door
He pins me in a corner and he won't take "No!"
He drags me out on the dance floor
And we're dancing close and slow
Now he's got a woman at home
He's got another woman down the hall
He seems to want me anyway
Why'd you have to get so drunk
And lead me on that way
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines of the freeway

I looked a Coyote right in the face
On the road to Baljennie near my old home town
He went running thru the whisker wheat
Chasing some prize down
And a hawk was playing with him
Coyote was jumping straight up and making passes
He had those same eyes - just like yours
Under your dark glasses
Privately probing the public rooms
And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors
Where the players lick their wounds
And take their temporary lovers
And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play

No regrets, Coyote
I just get off up aways
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
Coyote's in the coffee shop
He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
He picks up my scent on his fingers
While he's watching the waitresses' legs
He's too fat from the Bay of Fundy
From Appaloosas and Eagles and tides
And the air conditioned cubicles
And the carbon ribbon rides
Are spelling it out so clear
Either he's going to have to stand and fight
Or take off out of here
I tried to run away myself
To run away and wrestle with my ego
And with this flame
You put here in this Eskimo
In this hitcher
In this prisoner
Of the fine white lines
Of the white lines on the free, free way

J'Ai Ta Main


J'Ai Ta Main
Composer(s): Charles Trenet; R. Breton
Performer(s): Charles Trenet;
and various other artists



Nous sommes allongés
Sur l'herbe de l'été
Il est tard
On entend chanter
Des amoureux et des oiseaux

On entend chuchoter
Le vent dans la campagne
On entend chanter la montagne

J'ai ta main dans ma main
Je joue avec tes doigts
J'ai mes yeux dans tes yeux
Et partout, l'on ne voit

Que la nuit, belle nuit, que le ciel merveilleux
Tout fleuri, palpitant, tendre et mystérieux

Viens plus près, mon amour
Ton cœur contre mon cœur
Et dis-moi qu'il n'est pas de plus charmant bonheur
Que ces yeux dans le ciel, que ce ciel dans tes yeux
Que ta main qui joue avec ma main

Je ne te connais pas
Tu ne sais rien de moi
Nous ne sommes que deux vagabonds
Fille des bois, mauvais garçon

Ta robe est déchirée
Je n'ai plus de maison
Je n'ai plus que la belle saison

Et ta main dans ma main
Qui joue avec mes doigts
J'ai mes yeux dans tes yeux
Et partout, l'on ne voit

Que la nuit, belle nuit, que le ciel merveilleux
Tout fleuri, palpitant, tendre et mystérieux

Viens plus près, mon amour
Ton cœur contre mon cœur
Et dis-moi qu'il n'est pas de plus charmant bonheur
On oublie l'aventure et la route et demain
Mais qu'importe puisque j'ai ta main
Mais qu'importe puisque j'ai ta main
Mais qu'importe puisque j'ai ta main
