Ton Fils
Ton Fils
Composer(s): Jean-Jacques Goldman
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
On perd sa vie parfois
A devoir la gagner
Y'en a qui naissent rois
D'autres du mauvais côté
Toi, tu viens d'un pays que t'as presque oublié
De sable et de soleil et d'éternel été
Ceux qui ont de la chance y passent leurs vacances
Mais ceux qui y sont nés ne peuvent y travailler
Après toutes ces années juste pour exister
J'ai juste envie de dire à tes yeux fatigués
Je voudrais que ton fils vive mieux que toi
Dans le respect de mieux, qu'on le vouvoie
Comme un homme, un Monsieur qui ne baisse pas les yeux
Pareil à tous ces gens qui parlent sans accent
Je voudrais que ton fils vive mieux que toi
Qu'il aie toutes ses chances, tous ses droits
Qu'il aie une signature, des mains blanches, une voiture
Et des papiers d'identité à perpétuité
T'es pas un grand causeur
On t'l'a jamais demandé
T'as payé en sueur le prix quel faut payer
Tu voulais qu'il ait tout sans jamais rien compter
Pour qu'il ait toutes ses chances comme les enfants de France
Comme un dernier désir pour une ultime envie
La seule raison de croire à un sens à ta vie
Je voudrais que ton fils vive mieux que toi
Dans le respect de mieux, qu'on le vouvoie
Comme un homme, un Monsieur qui ne baisse pas les yeux
Pareil à tous ces gens qui parlent sans accent
Je voudrais que ton fils vive mieux que toi
Qu'il aie toutes ses chances, tous ses droits
Qu'il aie une signature, des mains blanches, une voiture
Et des papiers d'identité à perpétuité

I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
First release by: Harry Nilsson - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the lord must be in New York City
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein' my prayers going unanswered
I guess the lord must be in New York City
Well here I am Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free
In New York City
I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the lord must be in New York City
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein' my prayers going unanswered
I guess the lord must be in New York City
Well here I am Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free
In New York City

Jolene
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

Ton Doux Visage
Ton Doux Visage
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Ton doux visage
Que caresse un autre que moi
Ton doux visage
Je l'entrevois
Dans ces images
Qui viennent sans fin se jeter
A l'abordage
De mes pensées
Ton doux visage
Vient hanter mes nuits sans amour
Comme un mirage
En contre-jour
Sous l'éclairage
Des souvenirs en noir et blanc
De mon cinéma personnel et permanent
Ton doux visage
Debout planté sur mon passé
Me dévisage
Et fait sauter
Le maquillage
Qui cherche à masquer vainement
Le mal de l'âge
L'œuvre du temps
Je suis l'otage
De mes regrets, de mes passions
Et du chantage
Que des chansons font avec rage
A mon cœur par des mots d'amour
Quand ma mémoire hurle au scandale et au secours
Ton doux visage
Qui m'obsède et me fait souffrir
Est l'héritage
De souvenirs
Et d'effeuillages
Baisers volés et doigts tremblants
Dans ton corsage
Sur tes printemps
Et les ancrages
Au bout des sens, au creux du lit
Les engrenages
De la folie
De ces ravages
Pour deux cœurs sans dessus dessous
Jouant au jeu de la mort lente et l'amour fou
Ton doux visage
Je l'ai perdu à tout jamais
C'est un ratage
Et je le sais
De ce naufrage
Je sortirai in extremis
Non sans dommage
Du temps jadis
De mes voyages
Dans tes yeux tendres et ton corps chaud
De ces rivages
J'ai dans la peau
Ton doux visage
Emergeant du flou de l'oubli
Pour briller au creux de mon âme et de mes nuits
Car ton visage
Ce doux visage
Est le visage
De ma vie

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
Composer(s): Elton John; David William Logan Johnstone; Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love itself

(Traditional)

In the evening, in the shadows
I'll be waiting, in Louisiana
And when I hear your sweet voice
I'll rejoice, I'll be happy
And saving my kisses for you
Jole Blon, Cajun Angel
Let me tell you how I love you
In the springtime you promised
That we would be married
And I'm waiting, still waiting for you
Oh ho ho, ah ha ha
When your hair turns to silver
I'll still call you, Delta Flower
Pretty Blond I still love you
I love you I promise
And I'm patiently waiting for you
Oh ho ho, ah ha ha

Ton Côté Du Lit
Ton Côté Du Lit
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
De ces draps que je froisse au lieu de t'y trouver
Où je voudrais t'étreindre au lieu de t'y rêver
De ce café médiocre auquel tu n'applaudis
Plus jamais quand parfois je me le réussis
De mes grains de folie qui s'égrènent en vain
De l'eau que je ne mets plus jamais dans mon vin
De toutes ces martiennes qui débarquent ici
Et qui osent dormir de ton côté du lit
De ton côté du lit, de ton côté du lit
De cet amour déjà fini, fini
Et qui pourtant n'en finit pas
Délivre-moi
De toutes ces chansons, stupides et inodores
Qui me feraient pleurer si je savais encore
De ces visages entr'aprecus dans le métro
Et qui m'ont fait courir cent fois comme un idiot
De ces lettres de toi que je ne relis plus
Mais que je sais par cœur tant je les ai relues
De celle qui déjà est sûre que je t'oublie
Et qui ose dormir de ton côté du lit
De ton côté du lit, de ton côté du lit
De cet amour déjà fini, fini
Et qui pourtant n'en finit pas
Délivre-moi
De rien de tous ces mots qui me feraient rougir
Si la honte et l'amour étaient faits pour s'unir
De ces cris de bonheur que j'ai trop étouffés
De tous ces souvenirs que nous avons ratés
De ces insultes mêmes et toute cette boue
Dont je t'ai maquillé lorsque j'étais à bout
De ton ombre immobile qui mange ma vie
Et qui ose dormir de ton côté du lit
De ton côté du lit, de ton côté du lit
De cet amour déjà fini
Et qui pourtant n'en finit pas
Délivre-moi, délivre-moi...

I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometime
I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometime
Composer(s): Randy VanWarmer
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys; Randy VanWarmer
Sometimes I feel the weight
Of a passing break in my mind
And I know it's gone for good
And it makes me want to cry
Is this all we get to keep
As the years go rollin' by
Just the memory
For all the days gone by?
Oh you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said "goodbye"
Well I guess it never hurts to hurt sometimes
You try and hold on to the moment
But time won't let you stay
But for every step you take
You lose something on the way
You can't look forward to tomorrow
And still hold on to yesterday
Oh I hope that you can hear when I say
Oh you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said "goodbye"
Well I guess it never hurts to hurt sometimes

Jokerman
Jokerman
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
Eliza Gilkyson; Caetano Veloso
Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care?
Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman

Ton Cor
Ton Cor
Composer(s): Jo Moutet - Michèle Bernard
Performer(s): André Bourvil
Ce fut un choc dans ma poitrine
quand je le vis dans ta vitrine
caché derrière un' mandoline, ton cor
il me facina et tremblant
je suis entré presqu'haletant
il m'attira comme un aimant, ton cor
Ah! ce que j'aim'rais souffler dedans
souffler dedans bien fort
Ah! ce que j'aimerais souffler dedans
souffler dedans ton cor
Souviens-toi je restais muet
je le regardais, le fixais
du bout des doigts je l'effleurais, ton cor
Tu souriais, je te revois
en constatant tout mon émoi
tu me l'as placé dans les bras, ton cor
Ah! ce que j'aim'rais souffler dedans
souffler dedans bien fort
Ah! ce que j'aim'rais souffler dedans
si tu m'prêtais ton cor
Comme un petit enfant gâté
sur mon coeur je l'ai caressé
Je t'ai dis puis-je l'essayer, ton cor
Tu m'as dit oui, d'un ton bonasse
alors comme quelqu'un qu'on embrasse
j'ai soufflé fort avec audace
dans ton beau cor
ton cor de chasse
Ah! ton cor!
Alors,! tu me le prêtes ou tu me l'vends?

I Guess I'll Have To Dream The Rest
I Guess I'll Have To Dream The Rest
Composer(s): Harold Green; Mickey Stoney; Martin Block
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists
I guess I'll have to dream the rest
If you can't remember the things that we said
Those nights that my shoulder held your sleepy head
If you believe that parting's best
I guess I'll have to dream the rest
I guess I'll have to dream alone
Of honeymoon cruises once dear to my heart
Of one room apartments where we said we'd start
Of foolish things we planned to we planned to own
I guess I'll have to dream alone
I can see that your heart has gone astray
As for me I'll love you the same old way
I guess I'll have to dream the rest
There'll be no friends waiting to throw shoes and rice
Those heavenly moments will never come twice
I'm thankful for the hours you've bless'd
I guess I'll have to dream the rest

Jojo (Jacques Brel)
Jojo
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Jojo
Voici donc quelques rires
Quelques vins quelques blondes
J'ai plaisir à te dire
Que la nuit sera longue
A devenir demain
Jojo
Moi je t'entends rugir
Quelques chansons marines
Où des Bretons devinent
Que Saint-Cast doit dormir
Tout au fond du brouillard
Six pieds sous terre Jojo tu chantes encore
Six pieds sous terre tu n'es pas mort
Jojo
Ce soir comme chaque soir
Nous refaisons nos guerres
Tu reprends Saint-Nazaire
Je refais l'Olympia
Au fond du cimetière Jojo
Nous parlons en silence
D'une jeunesse vieille
Nous savons tous les deux
Que le monde sommeille
Par manque d'imprudence
Six pieds sous terre Jojo tu espères encore
Six pieds sous terre tu n'es pas mort
Jojo
Tu me donnes en riant
Des nouvelles d'en bas
Je te dis mort aux cons
Bien plus cons que toi
Mais qui sont mieux portants
Jojo
Tu sais le nom des fleurs
Tu vois que mes mains tremblent
Et je te sais qui pleure
Pour noyer de pudeur
Mes pauvres lieux communs
Six pieds sous terre Jojo tu frères encore
Six pieds sous terre tu n'es pas mort
Jojo
Je te quitte au matin
Pour de vagues besognes
Parmi quelques ivrognes
Des amputés du cœur
Qui ont trop ouvert les mains
Jojo,
Je ne rentre plus nulle part
Je m'habille de nos rêves
Orphelin jusqu'aux lèvres
Mais heureux de savoir
Que je te viens déjà
Six pieds sous terre Jojo tu n'es pas mort
Six pieds sous terre Jojo je t'aime encore

Ton Âme
Ton Âme
Composer(s): Gerard Hemery - Michael Delancray - Mya Simille - Pascal Danel
Performer(s): Dalida; Pascal Danel
Parce qu'elle ressemble à un visage
Où le temps écrit son passage
Mon âme
Parce qu'elle a souvent voyagé
De cœurs en cœurs sans s'arrêter
Mon âme
Parce qu'elle a un peu trop servi
Un peu trop dit je t'aime aussi
Mon âme
Ton âme a su pourtant me plaire
Depuis je ne peux m'en défaire
Ton âme
Et parce qu'en mille rides vives
Tant de wagons suivirent sa rive
Mon âme
Elle est pareille à la souffrance
Cette vieille amie de mon enfance
Mon âme
Qu'elle a dormi dans bien des lits
L'éternité de quelques nuits
Mon âme
Ton âme a su pourtant me prendre
Depuis je ne peux m'en défendre
De ton âme
Parce qu'elle n'a plus beaucoup de pages
Au fond de son livre d'images
Mon âme
Que souvent quand elle voudrait rire
Des larmes se cachent dans son sourire
Mon âme
Et parce qu'en ses yeux l'oiseau tombe
Résumant les chagrins du monde
Mon âme
Ton âme a su me tendre un piège
Mois qui ai subi tant de sièges
Ton âme
Parce qu'aujourd'hui elle me fait vivre
Le premier chapitre de mon livre
Ton âme
Parce qu'à mes yeux elle est si douce
Qu'on dirait comme l'eau de source
Ton âme
Parce qu'elle fait partie de ma chair
Qu'elle fait racine dans ma terre
Ton âme
Ton âme a su me faire écrire
Ces mots que je n'ai pas su dire
Je t'aime
Ton âme a su me faire écrire
Ces mots que je n'ai pas su dire
Je t'aime

I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan
I Guess I’ll Have To Change My Plan
Composer(s): Howard Dietz; Arthur Schwartz
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began
Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl I'd found
I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
Why did I buy those blue pajamas
Before that big affaire began?
My boiling point is much too low
For me to try to be a fly Lothario
I think I'll crawl right back and into my shell
Dwelling in my personal hell
I'll have to change my plan around
I lost the one girl I've found
Yes the one girl I've found

Composer(s): Hughie Prince; Dick Rogers; Hal Kanner
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
and multiple other artists
Yes, I guess I'll get the papers and go home
Like I've been doin' ever since we've been apart

Of someone elses lonely heart, yes
I wonder if you get the papers too
And if you feel as melancholy as I do
Until you're in my arms again, never more to roam
I guess I'll get the papers and go home, yes
I guess I'll get the papers and go home
Like I've been doin' ever since we've been apart
Yes, I get some consolation when I read
Of someone elses lonely heart
Mmm, I wonder if you get the papers too (bah-ba-dee-do-do-do)
And if you feel as melancholy as I do
Baby, till you're in my arms again, never more to roam
I guess I'll get the papers and go home

Join Together
Join Together
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who; Tony Stevens
When you hear this sound coming
Hear the drummer drumming
Won't you join together with the band
We don't move in any particular direction
And we don't make no collections
Won't you join together with the band
Do you really think I care
What you eat or what you wear
Won't you join together with the band
There's a million ways to laugh
Every one's a path
Won't you join together with the band
Everybody join together
Won't you join together
Come on and join together with the band
We need to join together
Won't you join together
Come on and join together with the band
You don't have to play
You can follow or lead the way
Won't you join together with the band
We don't know where we're going
But the season's right for knowing
Won't you join together with the band
It's the singer not the song
That makes the music move along
Won't you join together with the band
This is the biggest band you'll find
It's as deep as it is wide
Won't you join together with the band
Everybody join together ... etc.
