Time (Pink Floyd)
Time
Composer(s): Roger Waters - David Gilmour - Richard Wright - Nick Mason
First release by: Pink Floyd - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

I Am The Eagle
I Am The Eagle
Composer(s): Rhett Davis
Performer(s): Rhett Davis
There once was a silver-grey fox of great beauty
Who lived very deep in the wood
Afraid of the meadow, where life once before
Had treated her worse than it should
And to think of the mountain beyond the great meadow
Did surely bring fear to her heart
For she'd heard the stories of all the great hunters
And shivered and cried in the dark
Tired of living a life in dark shadows
The fox ventured out in the light
And rejoiced at the sound and the smell of the meadow
While keeping her shelter in sight
Then all at once such a fear overcame her
As a shadow passed over the sun
And as she heard the cry of the great hunting eagle
She knew it was over and done
I am the eagle, the sweet soaring eagle
I've come to take you away-ay
High up the mountains past sparkling blue rivers
And show you the place where I stay
Please do not fear me for I will not harm you
No matter what others may say-ay
For though it is true that our lives should not mingle
I’ve need of some friendship today
Though she didn't know why, she accepted the offer
And reluctantly climbed on his back
And the woods and the meadow were left far behind her
It seemed she would never get back
Then the fox sensed a yearning deep within the great eagle
And she felt something stirring her too
Could she, a fox fall in love with the eagle
Could he fall in love with her too
Could this eagle be lonely and searching for someone
To help him rule his domain
Had he ever had someone to love and protect him
And bring him in out of the rain
And the eagle spoke soft and his words were a wonder
In a voice touched with sadness it seemed
Eventhough I must hunt in the name of survival
I need not kill all that I see
For I am the eagle, the sweet soaring eagle
I've come to take you away-ay
High up the mountains past sparkling blue rivers
And show you the place where I stay
Please do not fear me for I will not harm you
No matter what others may say-ay
Though it is true that our lives should not mingle
I’ve need of some friendship today
I’ve need of some friendship today
I’ve need of some friendship today

Timbuctoo
Timbuctoo
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Harry Ruby
Performer(s): Frank Crumit
and multiple other artists
Long ago in old New Amsterdam
There lived a cousin of the Duke of Buckingham
His friends knew Buckingham to be a sport
So the cut the "ham" and called him "Buck" for short
One day Buck met a little cluck
And he whispered, "Ducky dear", in accents loud and clear
"Please marry me right here"
She replied, "I will be your bride if we act without delay"
So they were buckled up that day
Soon they had a lot of little Bucks, and oh, how fast they grew
There was one Buck, two Bucks, three Bucks, four Bucks
No one knows how many more Bucks
Mrs. Buck would play the ukulele each morn from ten till two
While old man Buck was singing
All the little Bucks were buck-and-winging
When they had eggs for breakfast Mr.Buck was out of luck
'Cause each Buck ate a dozen, and a dozen cost a buck
When the landlord tried to raise Buck's rent
He couldn't raise a sou
So he backed up a motor truck
He said "Good-bye" and he said "Good luck"
And moved his wife and all the little Bucks to Timbuctoo!
When the Bucks arrived in Timbuctoo
A Zulu chieftain by the name of Buckaroo
Was waiting with a buck-board at the pier
He said to Buck, "Pile all your Bucks in here"
Old man Buck said "I think I'll duck
'Cause this place looks mighty queer"
The Chieftain said "Don't fear; I know you'll like it here"
Just then Buck hollered "We're in luck!"
'Cause he saw a great big sign
It read "The Buck Beer Here Is Fine"
Soon they had a lot more Bucks, and oh, how fast they grew
There were two Bucks, four Bucks, six Bucks, eight Bucks
Over-fed and under-weight Bucks
Old man Buck got on a bucking bronco and away he flew
He came back home feeling frisky
With a bucket full of buck-eyed whiskey
All the little Bucks had never tasted chops or steaks
'Cause Mrs. Buck fed all the Bucks on home-made buckwheat cakes
Buck grew thin but kept his height, he was over six-foot-two
He looked just like a big giraffe
When he walked with his son it would make you laugh
'Cause the two looked like a Buck and a half
In Timbuctoo

Je Peux Te Faire L'Amour
Je Peux Te Faire L'Amour
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Y a des gars plein la ville
Tu n'a trouvé que moi
Tu n'a pas fais le bon choix
Du violon pour les filles
Y a longtemps qu'j'en joue pas
Faut pas compter sur moi
Tu veux du romantique et du sentimental
Tu n'peux pas tomber plus mal
C'est pas très poétique de te le dire comme ça
J'ai seulement envie de toi
Et tant pis si tu préfères t'en aller
Je n'peux pas te dire que je vais t'aimer
Mais je peux te faire l'amour
L'amour rien que pour l'amour
Mais je peux te faire l'amour
Tant pis si il n'y a pas d'amour
J'sais pas offrir des fleurs
J'aime pas prêter mon cœur
Même à une fille qui pleure
Elle était comme toi
Celle qui m'a pris un jour
Ce qui me restait d'amour
Y a des gras plein la ville
Et tu tombes sur moi
La chance est contre toi
C'est pas comme dans tes rêves
Ou comme au cinéma
J'ai seulement envie de toi
Et tant pis si tu préfères t'en aller
Je n'peux pas te dire que je vais t'aimer
Mais je peux te faire l'amour
L'amour rien que pour l'amour
Mais je peux te faire l'amour
Tant pis si il n'y a pas d'amour
Mais je peux te faire l'amour
L'amour rien que pour l'amour
Mais je peux te faire l'amour
Tant pis si il n'y a pas d'amour
Mais je peux te faire l'amour
L'amour rien que pour l'amour
Mais je peux te faire l'amour
Tant pis si il n'y a pas d'amour...

Tim
Tim
Composer(s): Wim De Craene
Performer(s): Wim De Craene
'k Herinner mij nog goed Tim
Hoe men mij vertelde
Van het harde buitenleven
De boeren op hun velden
Het binnenhalen van de oogst
Het weer was droog en heet
De lijven plooiden naar de hooivork
En stonken naar het zweet
Het graan was rijp en binnen
De boer zijn hoogste wens
Men zei me dat dit alles een paradijs was voor de mens
Hier laat ik je los, Tim
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Met vallen en opstaan
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Men wees mij hoe de mens, Tim
De grond gewonnen had
Waar men de zoete druif verbouwde
En het helder gerstenat
De weide vol met hooi
Het hooi voor 't jonge kalf
En wie het versgebraden kalf niet lust
Zo'n man die is maar half
Hier heeft de mens gewonnen
De arme grond verrijkt
Hier heeft de mens met zwoegen
Zijn hoogste doel bereikt
Hier laat ik je los, Tim
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Met vallen en opstaan
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Dit alles heeft men mij verteld, Tim
Ik heb het ook gezien
Hoewel ik zelf geen lauweren
Aan dit meesterwerk verdien
Ik heb het lot bezongen
Van de knechten en de boer
Het kirren van de boerendochter
De blikken van de hoer
De schoonheid van de morgen
't Ontwaken van de stad
Ik heb dit wel bezongen
Maar nooit een cent gehad
Hier laat ik je los, Tim
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Met vallen en opstaan
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Dus ga en maak de mortel
Bouw stenen tot een huis
Smeed akkers voor 't gewelf Tim
Maak deuren voor je huis
Ikzelf geef je niets mee
Dan lofzang voor je jeugd
De krachten in je armen
Een ode aan de deugd
De liefde voor een vrouw, Tim
De oogsten van haar buik
Het winnen van de dagen
Het streven naar geluk
Hier laat ik je los, Tim
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Met vallen en opstaan
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Van hieraf moet je gaan
Van hieraf moet je gaan

I am that I am, I am, I am, I am
I am that I am, I am, I am, I am
I am that I am, I am, I am, I am"
I am the rock of the ages
You cannot move I at all
I am the son of lightining
You cannot move I at all
Son of Jacob
Cannot move me at all
I am the son of Moses
You can't move I at all
I am the son of David
You cannot move I at all
I am a firm ripe diamond
You cannot move I at all
You could a shed more tears
You cannot move I at all
You could a full of evil
You cannot move I at all
You could a try more nuttin'
You cannot move I at all
And you can try make a something
That can't move I at all
And could a come with ism
You can't move I at all
And could come with skism
That can't move I at all

Tilt Billings And The Student Prince
Tilt Billings And The Student Prince
Composer(s): Leo Kottke - Ron Nagle
Performer(s): Leo Kottke
Tilt Billings saw a guitar in a pawn shop window
Not much to look at but he knew that he'd found
That old Student Prince that they made years ago
So easy to play - what unbeatable sound!
Paid twenty bucks and grabbed his guitar
Still be a steal at ten times the dough
It was amazing how a mere beginner
Could play just a few notes and sound like a pro
He'd play his heart out when he was at parties
Guys would get jealous - but girls were impressed
They'd ask how he did it he'd say
"Nothin' to it, with this kind of guitar it brings out my best"
One night when he had the room captivated
He took five and set down his prince
When a drunk stumbled by and sat down where he laid it
And he's never sounded quite the same since
Ron Nagle's House Party
So Tilt's still upset but he's givin' up crying
Just can't lift his eyes from the sad, sad ground
Time marches on with its fingers still trying
To find, once again, that Student Prince sound

Je Pense Encore À Toi
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Je suis entré dans l'église
Et je n'y ai vu personne
Que le regard éteint du plâtre des statues
Je connais un endroit où il n'y a rien au-dessus
Je pense encore à toi
J'aurais dû me méfier des vents qui tourbillonnent
De ces pierres qui taillent cachées sous l'eau qui dort
De ces bouts de ruisseaux qui deviennent des ports
Je pense encore à toi
On m'avait dit que tout s'efface
Heureusement que le temps passe
J'aurai appris qu'il faut longtemps
Mais le temps passe, heureusement, heureusement
J'ai croisé le mendiant qui a perdu sa route
Dans mon manteau de pluie je lui ressemble un peu
Et puis j'ai ton image plantée dans les yeux
Je pense encore à toi

Till We Meet Again
Composer(s): Richard A. Whiting - Raymond B. Egan
Performer(s): Henry Burr & Albert Campbell
and multiple other artists
There's a song in the land of the lily
Each sweetheart has heard with a sigh
Over high garden walls this sweet echo falls
As a soldier boy whispers goodbye
Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in Lover's Lane, my dearie
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Ev'ry tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again
Though goodbye means the birth of a teardrop
Hello means the birth of a smile
And the smile will erase the tear blighting trace
When we meet in the after awhile
Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in Lover's Lane, my dearie
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Ev'ry tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again

I Am In Love
I Am In Love
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance: Peter Cookson - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists
I am dejected, I am depressed
Yet resurrected and sailing the crest
Why this elation mixed with deflation
What explanation
I am in love
Such conflicting questions rise around my brain
Should I order cyanide or order champagne
Oh, what is this sudden jolt
I feel like a frightened colt
Just hit by a thunderbolt
I am in love
I knew the hours were against me before
I have no flare for flaming desire
But since the gods gave me you to adore
I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire
So, come and enlighten my days and never depart
You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart
But I am only in love with you
And so in need of a stampede of love
I’m so in need of a stampede of love
I’m so in need of a stampede of love
I’m so in need of love

Composer(s): Michel Delpech;
Jean-Michel Rivat; Roland Vincent
Performer(s): Michel Delpech
Je débarquais à n'importe quelle heure
On cuisinait, on dînait tous les trois
Vous aviez l'air d'un couple sans problème
Je vous aimais, elle, aussi bien que toi
Avec le temps je suis venu pour elle
Tu n'as rien vu mais j'étais amoureux
Elle attendait que je parte avec elle
Il a fallu te rendre malheureux
{Refrain:}
Je pense à toi
Souvent je crois t'entendre
Me dire que chez toi
C'était aussi chez moi
Je pense à toi
Tu ne dois rien comprendre
Tu dois être abattu
Terriblement déçu
Tu me disais que j'étais son grand frère
Je m'asseyais au bord de votre lit
En vous quittant j'éteignais la lumière
Et finalement je prenais mon taxi
J'imaginais que j'étais à ta place
Je me sentais horriblement gêné
J'avais du mal à te parler en face
J'avais envie de tout te raconter
{au Refrain}
J'ai beau chercher me trouver des prétextes
Je sais très bien que rien ne tient debout
Mais on était toujours ensemble ou presque
Même à Noël en pendant le mois d'Août
Bien entendu quand on est aussi proche
Ces choses-là sont forcées d'arriver
Ce n'est qu'après qu'on se fait des reproches
Je ne vis plus depuis qu'on t'a laissé
{au Refrain, ad lib}

Composer(s): Alex Alstone - Hilliard
Performer(s): Joan Regan
Till they’ve all gone home, till they’ve said goodnight
Join the party and let’s be polite, till they’ve all gone home
Let your glances roam, look away from me
There’s a love-light that I mustn’t see
Till they’ve all gone home
When we’re alone once again, that’s when you’ll hold me, and then
We’ll share that last cigarette, and kisses you’ll never forget
Let’s not think, serve another drink
Till they’ve all gone home, I’m a busy wife
Let’s be patient, we’re married for life
And they’ll soon go home
When we’re alone once again, that’s when you’ll hold me, and then
We’ll share that last cigarette, and kisses you’ll never forget
Let’s not think, serve another drink
Till they’ve all gone home, I’m a busy wife
Let’s be patient, we’re married for life
And they’ll soon go home

I Am Constant
I Am Constant
Composer(s): Climax Blues Band
Performer(s): Climax Blues Band
I am constant
As the morning star
Shines out of the sky
And I am constant
Never knowing if it's
Truth that's in your eyes
As unchanging as the rivers flow
But heaven knows I've tried
Rearranging different music
But still the same inside
I am constant...
I am constant
As the morning star
Shines down from above
And I am truthful
But who knows the truth
When jokers fall in love
Dust and ashes take the best of us
But what goes on before
Superficial as humanity
When people go to war
I am constant...
I am you...yes I am...

Tu sais, parfois il faut casser
Casser des cœurs et des idées
Les numéros de téléphone, faut les changer, oui
Il faut changer d'air les valises: je partirai
Il faut changer donc notre église, je partirai
Les biscottes et le train-train
Le thé au citron du matin
Les robinets se gargarisent, je partirai, oui

Mes chimères
Mes chimères
Sont au fond de mon désert
Prisonnières
Prisonnières
Des bouteilles à la mer
Couloir des hautes surveillances, je partirai
Vers les couloirs de mon enfance ou je courais
Un mot de plus, un mot de moins
Una bonnet d'âne et puis au coin
C'était le début des offenses, je partirai, oui
Je n'écris plus en lettres rondes: je partirai
Fini les chambres en rotonde: je partirai
Fini l'amour à la grimace
Le consommé en demi-tasse
Moi, il me faut des tours du monde, je partirai, oui
{Refrain}
