Julie (Marcel Amont)


Julie
Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Jacques Datin
Performer(s): Marcel Amont;
Michèle Arnaud; Mouloudji



N'allez pas Julie, vous rouler dans l'herbe
Quand Monsieur l'abbé déjeune au château
N'allez pas non plus jouer aux proverbes
Avec les bergers aux tendres flûtiaux
Et je vous défends, vilaine petite
Nue dans la rivière, au milieu du bourg
De dire aux pêcheurs: "je suis une truite
Me pêche qui veut m'apprendre l'amour"

{Refrain:}
Les yeux baissés
Les genoux serrés
Faites de la dentelle
Faites de l'aquarelle
De la tapisserie
De la pâtisserie
Mais n'allez pas surtout
Courir le guilledou
Avant de prendre époux

Avec Ferdinand, vous n'êtes plus d'âge
A vous trémousser foll' sur ses genoux
En lui agaçant le bout des moustaches
Pour voir si ça pique ou bien si c'est doux!
Et quand vous sentez son trouble, Julie
Ne demandez pas d'un air innocent
"Cousin, dites-moi si je suis jolie
Et si je fais plus que mes dix-huit ans"

{Refrain}

Un matin, Julie, blanche à la chapelle
Devant la famille vous direz ce "oui"
Qui vous livrera timide gazelle
Aux tendres assauts de votre mari
Dès le lendemain, vous serez tranquille
Je ne serai plus là pour vous gronder
Vous pourrez alors, femme d'imbécile
Prendre autant d'amants que vous le voudrez

{Refrain2:}
Les yeux baissés
Les genoux serrés
Faites de la dentelle
Faites de l'aquarelle
De la tapisserie
De la pâtisserie
En attendant le jour
Qui ne saurait tarder
De votre liberté

Too Much Time On My Hands


Too Much Time On My Hands
Composer(s): Tommy Shaw
Performer(s): Styx



Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at all
Well I'm so tired of losing - I got nothing to do and all day to do it
I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

Well, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems
Without even trying
I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying
Is it any wonder I'm not the president
(He's not the president)
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away at my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

I Keep Forgettin'


I Keep Forgettin'
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
First release by: Chuck Jackson - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



I keep forgettin' we're not in love anymore
I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin' every time that you are near

Every time I see your smile
Give you a hello, can you stay a while
Heaven knows it time for you to say the things
We both know are true
But darling I keep forgettin'
We're not in love anymore

I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin' every time I hear
How you never want to live a lie

How we're supposed to follow
You don't have to tell me why
Why you going
And why the game is through
If this is not true
If this is not true
Tell me how I keep forgettin'
I'm in love with you
Hey babe
Things will never be the same, again

I keep forgettin' how you made that so real
Yeah yeah baby
Don't say that
Don't say that
Don't say that
I know you're not mine, anymore
Any way
Any time
Tell me how we're not in love anymore
How come I
Things will never be the same

I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin' every time you are near
We're not in love anymore
Every time you're near me
Things will never be the same

Oh baby, how you made that so clear
Every time you are near

Julie (Doris Day)


Julie
Composer(s): Leith Stevens; Tom Adair
Performer(s): Doris Day



(Julie)
It's the voice of my one love
And it promises ecstasy
Day and night it is calling me
But I'm afraid to go

(Julie)
Though I run to escape it
Still it calls irresistibly
And although it's my destiny
Sorrow is there, I know

Warm are his arms, tender his kiss
But in his eyes hidden, the danger lies

(Julie)
Must I go where he leads me?
Though it be through eternity
Oh, I know I will never be free
Free from the voice that calls

(Julie)

Too Much Talk


Too Much Talk
Composer(s): Mark Lindsay
Performer(s): Paul Revere & the Raiders



Read the news in the Times today... said the world is goin' round (world is goin' round)
I don't care what somebody said, somebody always puts 'em down (always puts 'em down)
Red or yellow, black or white?
Are you left-handed or are you right?
When you open your eyes can you see the light?
Do you wake up screamin' in the middle of the ni-i-i-ight?

Too much talk, and not enough action
Do you know anybody gettin' satisfaction?
Everbody wonders 'bout the crowd's reaction
And the world gets better by a very small fraction

Turn around till you see a face and it won't be very long (Won't be very long)
Someone soon will be in your place and it won't be very wrong (won't be very wrong)
Red or yellow, black or white... (to chorus)

Now's our chance to change the world
Change the world with love, with love...

(Chorus repeats)

Too Much Of Nothing


Too Much Of Nothing
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



Too much of nothin' can make a man feel ill at ease
One man's temper might rise, while the other man's temper might freeze
In the days of long confessions, we can not mock a soul
When there's too much of nothin', no one has control

Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion
Send them all my salary, on the waters of oblivion

Too much of nothin' can make a man abuse a king
He can walk the streets and boast like most but he don't know a thing
It's all been done before, it's all been written in the book
But when it's too much of nothin', nobody should look

Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion
Send them all my salary, on the waters of oblivion

Too much of nothin' can turn a man into a liar
It can cause some man to sleep on nails, another man to eat fire
Everybody's doin' somethin', I heard it in a dream
But when it's too much of nothin', it just makes a fella mean

Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion
Send them all my salary, on the waters of oblivion

I don't want to be the kind to hesitate

I got a feeling that you have a heart like mine
So let it show

That's what they inteneded dancing for
I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you

I caught you lookin' at me
When I looked at you
Yes I did
Ain't that true
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do
I just want to dance with you

Oh the boys are playing softly
And the girls are too
So am I and so are you
If this was a movie we'd be right on cue
I just want to dance with you

I want to dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That's what they inteneded dancing for
I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you

Julia
Composer(s): Francisco Moure
Performer(s): Javier Solis



Soñé
yo con tu amor
como se sueña en Dios
en tus ojos hallé
la respuesta a mi pasión

Al despertar mi embeleso de amor
de aquel sueño sacrosanto mi bien
juro nadie te amó
como te adoro yo a ti

Si es tormento vivir sin tu amor
y el amarte un eterno dolor
Julia mía yo quiero regar
con mis lágrimas tu corazón

Si soñando me hiciste llorar
y despierto me has hecho sufrir
si eso es vida yo quiero soñar
si eso es muerte yo quiero morir

Soñé
yo con tu amor
como se sueña en Dios
en tus ojos hallé
la respuesta a mi pasión

Too Much Love Will Kill You


Too Much Love Will Kill You
Performer(s): Queen



I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In me tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end

Juke Box Hero


Juke Box Hero
Composer(s): Lou Gramm; Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner;
Binge; Me First; Soul Asylum



Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldnt get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream

He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure

That one guitar felt good in his hands
Didn't take long to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started rockin'
Ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
Someday he's gonna make it to the top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Hes a juke box hero
He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes
Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one guitar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight

Yeah, he's gotta keep rockin'
He just cant stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes
He's just a juke box hero, aah aah aah
Juke box hero, juke box hero, he's got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes

Performer(s): Johnny Thunders
and multiple other artists



Well you run down to the corner baby, see what you can cop
You buy some for your sister and you take yours off the top
Run into the bathroom, fixing up a shot
Tie it up, shoot it up, bang your head and throw it up

Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
I don't wanna fuck around with you

Your life becomes as sickening as that mess you call your face
The pig you call your girlfriend is dead from shooting mace
Climbing up the walls, you're shooting all my balls (/old moth balls?)
Wrap it up, call it art, now your record makes the chart

Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
I don't wanna fuck around with you

Too much junk, too much junk
Too much junk, too much junk
Too much junk, too much junk
I don't wanna see her hanging out with you

Well you're the coolest thing in town, with your face right on the ground
Friends went through your pockets as the coffin went down
You overdosed at last, spike stuck in your head
Now you're dead… dead! dead! dead!

Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
I don't wanna fuck around with you

Too much junk, too much junk
Too much junk, in your head

Performer(s): Barry Manilow



Some people shoot for the stars
Dream up on dreams, they long to go far
Chasing their rainbows so high
Wish up on wish, they reach for the sky
But I've got one little dream
And baby that's all I want
Girl it's up to you
You can make my dreams come true

I just wanna be the one in your life
Forever, for always
I just wanna be the one in your life
Forever, for always

I don't need cheers from the crowd
To make me feel big, to make me feel proud
Darling just a little touch of your hair
Is all that I need to feel like a man
But I keep hoping each day
I won't dream my life away
Girl you are the key
To make my dream a reality

I just wanna be the one in your life
Forever, for always
I just wanna be the one in your life
Forever, for always

Juke Box Baby
Composer(s): Joe Sherman; Noel Sherman
Performer(s): Perry Como



When my juke box baby takes the floor
'round the old juke box in the candy store
The joint starts jumpin' till the roof comes tumblin' down
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Juke box baby, you're the swingin'-est doll in town

(Juke box baby) put a nickel in for Maybelline
(Juke box baby) drop another one for Seventeen
Juke box baby) whisper to your daddy-o three little love words
(Kokomo)

How ya gonna get your homework done
When you keep that juke box on the run
You don't dig Latin like ya dig that crazy sound
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Juke box baby, you're the swingin'-est doll in town

(Juke box baby) I hear you knockin'
(Juke box baby) Keep the coin box hoppin'
(Juke box baby) Tell me sincerely
That you ain't forgettin' no Tina Marie

(Hip-hip, hop-hop, ho-ho, aww—hah!!)

Oh, juke box baby, my juke box baby, juke box baby

(Juke box baby, juke box baby, juke box baby)

All your lunchtime money goes down the slot
You could live on air if the music's hot
You just ain't quittin' till ya rock that clock around
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Juke box baby, you're the swingin'-est doll in town

(See ya later) (Alligator)
Oh hey, ring-a-dinga what a dungaree doll I've found
Run them there now
Juke box baby, juke box baby
You're the wingin'-est, dingin'-est, swingin'-est doll in town

Too Much Imagination


Too Much Imagination
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Harold Spina
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians



Why did I catch your eye
Hoping you understood
I've too much imagination
For my own good

Why do I even try
Haunting your neighbourhood
I've too much imagination
For my own good

I tried to face you, I constantly chase you
I run to each place you might go
I've made it an issue
I honestly wish you could know

Would you believe that
I can see you with me playing what lovers would
I've too much imagination
For my own good
