Je Change Un Peu De Vent


Je Change Un Peu De Vent
Composer(s): Joe Dassin; J.M. Rivat
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Je ne sais pas d'où il vient
Je ne sais pas où il va
Je ne sais pas où va ce train
Qui m'emporte loin de toi

Je n'ai pris qu'un viex chapeau
J'ai sauté dans ce wagon
Qui transporte des chevaux
Et j'irai où ils vont

Tu étais pourtant jolie
Mais il faut de temps en temps
Que je change un peu de vie
Que je change un peu de vent

Those Oldies But Goodies (Remind Me Of You)


Those Oldies But Goodies (Remind Me Of You)
Composer(s): Paul Politti - Nick Curinga
Performer(s): Little Caesar & The Romans; Nino & the Ebb Tides



Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
I always remember the first night we met
The songs they were playing I never will forget

I always will treasure them so close to my heart
They always will haunt me although we're apart
Each time that I hear them a tear's bound to fall
For I love those memories that I, I-I recall

Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
Forever they will haunt me but what can I do?

Those oldies but goodies reminds me of... you
(Oldies but goodies reminds me of you)

"Yes, dear, they are playin' our songs
And they will always remain our songs
And each time you hear them, I hope you, too, will cherish the wonderful memories that our love once knew
For these songs are just a symbol of the love that I had for you"

Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
Forever they will haunt me but what can I do?

Those oldies but goodies reminds me of... you
(Oldies but goodies reminds me of you)

Crumbling Land


Crumbling Land
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Nick Mason; Roger Waters; Richard Wright
Performer(s): Pink Floyd



In a while I'll find the time to make the sunshine mine
in a smile I saw a single eagle in the sky
wheeling, soaring, gliding high

On a hill there lived a man with many shining things
shiny gold, shiny car and shiny diamond rings
wining, dining, shining king

Now the eagle flies in clear blue skies
drinking in the clear blue well
back here on the ground another dealer coughs and dies
but fifty more come rolling off the floor production line

Then a man appearing like a mirage on the sand
in his hand a moving picture of the crumbling land
screaming, dealing, movie man

Here we go, hold your breath to see if something blows
close your eyes, count till ten and see the sunrise rise
gliding high into the sky

By the holy mansion, let the guardian rise
upon the finger of the king
on high the eagle flies, that glitter all of gold
then wheeling in a cloudy sky, he flies into the sun

Eh! Barman
S'il vous plait!
Il est tard
Oui, je le sais
Et elle ne viendra pas
Mais tant pis
Je bois à sa santé

C'est comme les métros
Une autre passera dans ma vie
Je bois à sa santé

Hé, mais soudain
Oui, la voilà
Non, je ne rêve pas
Mais pourquoi sont-elles trois
Bah, tant pis!
Je bois à leur santé

Those Magic Changes


Those Magic Changes
Composer(s): Warren Casey - Jim Jacobs
First release by: Sha-Na-Na - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists



What's that playing on the radio?
Why do I start swaying to and fro?
I have never heard that song before
But if I don't hear it anymore

Still familiar to me sends a thrill right to me
Plus those chords remind me of the night that I first fell in love to
Those magic changes
My heart arranges
A melody that's never the same
A melody thats calling your name
And betcha please come back to me
Please return to me
Don't go away again or make them play again
The music I want to hear at once again
You whisper in my ear oh my darling

I'll be waiting by the radio
You'll come back to me some day I know
Been so long since our last goodbye
But I'm singing as I cry

While the bass is sounding while the drums are punding
Beating of my broken heart will rise to first place in the charts
Oh my heart arranges
Oh those magic changes

Je Bois


Je Bois English & Italian Titles: I Drink; Io Bevo Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Je bois pour oublier mes années d'infortune
Et cette vie commune
Avec toi mais si seul
Je bois pour me donner l'illusion que j'existe
Puisque trop égoïste
Pour me péter la gueule

Et je lève mon verre à nos cœurs en faillite
Nos illusions détruites
A ma fuite en avant
Et je trinque à l'enfer qui dans mon foie s'impose
En bouquet de cirrhose
Que j'arrose en buvant

Je bois au jour le jour à tes fautes, à mes fautes
Au temps que côte à côte
Il nous faut vivre encore
Je bois à nos amours ambigus, diaboliques
Souvent tragi-comiques
Nos silences de mort

A nos unions ratées, mesquines et pitoyables
A ton corps insatiable
Roulant de lit en lit
A ce serment, prêté la main sur l'Évangile
A ton ventre stérile
Qui n'eut jamais de fruit

Je bois pour échapper à ma vie insipide
Je bois jusqu'au suicide
Le dégoût la torpeur
Je bois pour m'enivrer et vomir mes principes
Libérant de mes tripes
Ce que j'ai sur le cœur

Au bonheur avorté, à moi, à mes complexes
A toi, tout feu, tout sexe
A tes nombreux amants
A ma peau boursouflée, striée de couperose
Et à la ménopause
Qui te guette au tournant

Je bois au lois bénies de la vie conjugale
Qui de peur de scandale
Poussent à faire semblant
Je bois jusqu'à la lie aux étreintes sommaires
Aux putes exemplaires
Aux froids accouplements

Au meilleur de la vie qui par lambeaux nous quitte
A cette cellulite
Dont ton corps se dépare
Au devoir accompli comme deux automates
Aux ennuis de prostate
Que j'aurais tôt ou tard

Je bois à en crever et peu à peu j'en crève
Comme ont crevé mes rêves
Quand l'amour m'a trahi
Je bois à m'en damner le foie comme une éponge
Car le mal qui me ronge
Est le mal de l'oubli

Je m'enivre surtout pour mieux noyer ma peine
Et conjurer la haine
Dont nous sommes la proie
Et le bois comme un trou qu'est en tout point semblable
A celui que le diable
Te fait creuser pour moi

Je bois mon Dieu, je bois
Un peu par habitude
Beaucoup de solitude
Et pour t'oublier toi
Et pour t'emmerder toi
Je bois, je bois

Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer


Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies
Then lock the house up, now you're set
And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis
As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
You'll wish that summer could always be here

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in
Or some romantic moon it seems
Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin'
You'll see more kissin' in the cars than on the screen

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
You'll wish that summer could always be here

You'll wish that summer could always be here
You'll wish that summer could always be here

Cruising Down The River


Cruising Down The River
Composer(s): Eily Beadell - Nell Tollerton Performer(s): Russ Morgan and multiple other artists



Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon
With one you love, the sun above
Waiting for the moon

The old accordian playing
A sentimental tune
Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon

The birds above, all sing of love
A gentle sweet refrain
The winds around, all make a sound
Like softly falling rain ...

Just two of us together
We'll plan our honeymoon
Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon

Je Blijft Me Lief


Je Blijft Me Lief
Performer(s): Conny Vandenbos



Refrein:
Je blijft me lief men leven lang
Ik laat je vrij, wees maar niet bang
Ik laat je gaan je bent vrij man
Maar komt terug,… zo nu en dan

Ik weet het wel, jij wilt geen al te vaste band
Jij houdt de liefde in de hand
Ik weet het wel jij leeft van dag tot dag, tot dag
Je gaat niet zomaar over stag

Refrein:

Ik weet het wel, jij vind dat ik weer spoken zie
Als ik je vraag waar of je was en met wie
Ik weet het wel, ik zie het niet zo erg reëel
Misschien wil ik, wel, veel te veel

refrein

Ik weet het wel, je bent me lang niet altijd trouw
En toch hou ik alleen van jouw
Ik weet het wel, je hebt het mij al vaak gezegd
Je bent toch erg, aan, mij, gehecht

Refrein:

Je blijft me lief men leven lang
Ik laat je gaan, wees maar niet bang
Ik laat je gaan op jouw advies
Dan ben ik bang ... dat ik je zo verlies

Those Days Are Over


Those Days Are Over
Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling - Edward P. Moran - Harry Von Tilzer



Let's take a look in memry's book back to the days of yore
Back to the school old swimmin' pool wel'll just be kids once more
Let's wander back where we used to sit and dram
Down by the old mill stream

Let's climb the hill down by the mill pile on the old bob sled
Coasting we'll go roll in the snow until our cheeks grow red
Oh for the days of the olden golden pas
They were too good to last

Where are the days of long ago?
Those days are over those days are over all over
Where is the barefoot bashful beau? the one who wrote "I love you so"
Oh! Sweet childhood days so dear to you and me
Sweet wildwood ways are just a memory
Gee! but it makes me sad some how
Those days are over over now

Je Bivouaque Au Pays De Cocagne


Je Bivouaque Au Pays De Cocagne
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Une rue sans joie où les sbires
Tout seuls ne s'aventurent pas
Un coupe-gorge et même pire
La venelle où traînaient mes pas!
Mais j'avais mangé du poète
Je marchais un peu sur la tête
Et cett' rue je l'ai traversée
Comm' l'avenue des Champs-Élysées

{Refrain:}
Je bivouaque au
Pays de Co
cagne depuis
Que j'ai bouté
La vérité
Au fond du puits

Beauté du diable et qui n'inspire
Pas l'envie d'aller en sabbat
Epouvantail et même pire
La fille m'offrant ses appas!
Mais j'avais mangé du poète
Je marchais un peu sur la tête
Et j'ai changé cette petite
En une Vénus Aphrodite

{Refrain}

Quatre anges déchus qui soupirent
Si peu qu'on ne les entend pas
Jamais étreinte ne fut pire
Jamais amour vola si bas!
Mais j'avais mangé du poète
Je marchais un peu sur la tête
Et quittant doucement la terre
Je fus à bon port à Cythère

{Refrain}

Those Good Old Days Back Home


Those Good Old Days Back Home
Composer(s): Joe McCarthy - Jimmie Monaco



I left my sweetheart in old New Hampshire, waving to my train
I sort of reckoned that old New Hampshire would never see me again
I got "kinder" tired of my home town, had a lot of silly dreams
mighty disappointed looking 'round, this life ain't what it seems

My heart is sighing now for the good old days back home
I'm crying now, I was foolish kid to roam
you could live around the city years or more
and never get acquainted with the folks next door
Way back home you rise at dawning, you meet a stranger and he'll say "Good Mornin'"
I'm longing now for the fields, I used to plow
I want to see the bumble bees a buzzin' 'round the comb
(I've been a drone) and in the homestead on the hill, I wonder if they're waiting still
Oh, my heart is sighing, and I'm just dying for the good old days back home
Maple syrup flowing from the shady maple trees, hear the rooster crowing
hear the humming of the bees, see the corn a waving in the fields of new mown hay
that is why I'm craving, why I'm leaving here today

My heart is sighing now for the good old days back home
I'm crying now, I was foolish kid to roam
you could live around the city years or more
and never even know the folks that live next door
Way back home you rise at dawning, you meet a stranger and he'll say "Good Mornin'"
I'm sighing now for the fields, I used to plow
I want to see the bumble bees a buzzin' 'round the comb
(I've been a drone) I want to ride for miles, I'm through with butter cakes and Childs
Oh, my heart is sighing, and I'm just dying for the good old days back home

Cruisin' (Lucy And Ramona And Sunset Sam)


Cruisin' (Lucy And Ramona And Sunset Sam)
Composer(s): Michael Nesmith
Performer(s): Michael Nesmith



Lucy and Ramona cruisin' thru the jungles of L.A.
Hopin' to promote a dream somewhere along the way
(They're) Rollin' thru the streets looking for a disco
Passin' up the treats from a kid named Cisco
Trying to make connections
With their blemish-free complexions
And just as fate would have it
They ended up with Sunset Sam

Sam was sellin' watches from a suitcase on a TV tray
And Lucy and Ramona were tryin' to figure out if he was gay
The three of them were standing staring at each other
When the light behind their eyes blew each other's cover
The ancient code was branded
And each of them was handed
A ticket to their kingdom
'Cause they saw their brother Sunset Sam

Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
People on the streets lookin' for the land
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam

Lucy was from Compton and she met Ramona at a zoo
Ramona was from Brooklyn, but she left when she was twenty-two
Sam was a native of the Arizona desert
But he split when he was slated for some governmental make-work
Their differences subsided when the common bond was sighted
They were all from the same place
That made the famous Sunset Sam

Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
People on the streets lookin' for the land
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam

(Yes it is) Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam
People on the streets tryin' to find a plan
People on the streets just lookin' for the land
Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam

Jacques Hourdeaux; Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila; Les Poppys



Donne-moi ta main et prends la mienne
La cloche a sonné ça signifie
La rue est à nous que la joie vienne
Mais oui
Mais oui l'école est finie

Nous irons danser ce soir peut-être
Ou bien chahuter tous entre amis
Rien que d'y penser j'en perds la tête
Mais oui
Mais oui l'école est finie

Donne-moi ta main et prends la mienne
La cloche a sonné ça signifie
La rue est à nous que la joie vienne
Mais oui
Mais oui l'école est finie

J'ai bientôt dix-sept ans un cœur tout neuf
Et des yeux d'ange
Toi tu en as dix-huit mais tu en fais dix-neuf
C'est ça la chance

Donne-moi ta main et prends la mienne
La cloche a sonné ça signifie
La rue est à nous que la joie vienne
Mais oui
Mais oui l'école est finie

Donne-moi ta main et prends la mienne
Nous avons pour nous toute la nuit
On s'amusera quoi qu'il advienne
Mais oui
Mais oui l'école est finie

Au petit matin devant un crème
Nous pourrons parler de notre vie
Laissons au tableau tous nos problèmes
Mais oui
Mais oui l'école est finie

Meet Me On The Corner
Composer(s): Rod Clements First release by: Lindisfarne - 1971



Hey Mr. Dream Seller Where have you been Tell me have you dreams I can see I came along just to bring you a song Can you spare one dream for me You won't have met me So soon you'll forget So don't mind me tugging at your sleeve I'm asking you if I could fix a rendezvous For your dreams are all I believe Meet me on the corner When the lights are coming on And I'll be there I promise I'll be there Down the empty streets will disappear Into the darkness you have dreams enough to spare Lay down your bundles Of rag and reminders And spread your wealth on the ground Well I got time if you deal them mine I'm just hanging around Meet me on the corner When the lights are coming on And I'll be there I promise I'll be there Down the empty streets will disappear Into the darkness you have dreams enough to spare Hey Mr. Dream Seller Where have you been Tell me have you dreams I can see I'm asking you if I could fix a rendezvous For your dreams are all I believe Hey Mr. Dream Seller Where have you been Tell me have you dreams I can see I came along just to bring you a song Can you spare one dream for me

Cruisin'
Composer(s): Billy Connolly Performer(s): Billy Connolly



I'm cruisin', I'm on a river of blue
I'm cruisin', I'm on a river of blue
I don't know what I'm doin'
Can't keep my mind off you

I'm cruisin', I'm on a river of green
I'm cruisin', I'm on a river of green
I don't know where I'm goin', don't know where I've been

I'm cruisin', I'm on a river of grey
I'm cruisin', I'm on a river of grey
It doesn't matter what I try, these feelings won't go away

I'm cruisin', I'm on a river of black
I'm cruisin', I'm on a river so black
The only thing I'm sure of, don't think I'll ever be back
