L'Amérique est une blonde
Qui boit du Coca-Cola
Qui chante du Folk-song
Et qui fait du cinéma

L'Amérique devient noire
Quand le blues et le gospel
Viennent pour chanter l'espoir
Aux étés chauds de Harlem

Hello U.S.
Hello U.S. U.S.A.

L'Amérique devient folle
Quand elle va aux rodéos
Quand elle se fait des idoles
Et quand elle roule en moto

L'Amérique est une fille
Faite de néons et d'or
Certains reviennent en guenilles
C'est l'envers du décor

He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)


He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield; Calvin Carter; Jerry Butler
Performer(s): Tony Orlando



Chorus:
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart

Fare thee well, I know you're leavin' (I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down.....'cause

Chorus

He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's had so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play.....but wait

When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home

He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart

Whoa, he don't love you like I love you
If he did......

I Can't Live Without Music


I Can't Live Without Music
Composer(s): Ralph Siegel - Bernd Meinunger
First performance by: Corinna May - 2002



You're my song in the morning, you're the rhythm of my heartbeat at night
And the sound of love I hear in your voice keeps on touching me deep inside
You are the air that I breathe and the gentle tune of whisperin' trees
You're the only melody that's in my soul and in my mind all the time

I can't live without music, only you keep me goin' along
I can't live without music and the power that's deep in your song
You're the one and only thing I couldn't do without
Makes me wanna sing and dance and shout

We can't live without music, we can't live without music
It's a rainbow in the night, turns darkness into light
It's everything we really need
We can't live without music, and if ever we lose it
That's when everybody, just everybody, starts getting the blues
(We can't live without music) 'cause it's freedom to me and to you

So let the music touch your heart in times when men are worlds apart
'Cause only love can heal the dream that's hidden in our souls
And hand in hand we'll walk along, we'll be united by a peaceful song
And we'll live all together

(We can't live without music, we can't live without music)
I can't live without music, I can't live without music
And if anybody, just anybody, is asking me why
Music makes me feel like flyin', gives me hope when I'm a-cryin'
I believe without it I would die

Hello 'Tucky


Hello 'Tucky
Composer(s): Buddy DeSylva; James Hanley; Joseph Meyer
Performer(s): Al Jolson



Like all Kentucky boys longing for the city joys
I left the farm and started to roam
Like all Kentucky boy get sick of all the city noise
I heard Kentucky calling me home
Any thrill you get when you are leaving
Seven times the thrill when you return

You're saying Hello, `Tucky, `Tucky, hello
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying
Hello, `Tucky, hello

Hello, `Tucky, `Tucky, hello
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying
Hello, `Tucky, hello

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello `Tucky, `Tucky, hello
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady, shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying
Hello, `Tucky, hello

He Doesn't Care (But I Do)


He Doesn't Care (But I Do)
Composer(s): Robin Grean; Kevin DiSimone
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



So all alone
Little girl blue
You tell me the tale
And stand there crying
I'm here for you
You know that I care
Listening to you
Inside I'm dying
Your heart may be breaking
But my heart is breaking too

He doesn't care if you're all alone
But I do
He doesn't care if you come back home
But I do, yes I do
Why can't you feel it too

I'm your best friend
A brother you say
Hurting me so
To see your sorrow
Knew all along
He's not for you
Sadness and tears
But tomorrow
You'll see how I need you
And maybe you'll need me too

He doesn't care if he breaks your heart
But I do
He doesn't care if you fall apart
But I do

Oh, don't throw your love away
On someone who doesn't deserve it
If you belonged to me I'd love you more each day
I'd take you and make you believe what I say

Spinning


Spinning
Composer(s): Benjamin Orr - Diane Grey Page
Performer(s): Benjamin Orr



What am I to do about this?
Who am I to you?
There's a splice somewhere in all this
You can find a way, you know it
Not so hard to do
All you got to do is show it
It's only got to do with you
Spinning our wheels
Spinning our wheels
Spinning our wheels for years
You can't get there
You can't get there
You can't get there from here
Doesn't seem so well connected
Threads are almost bare
Something's new; just not expected
Tell me is it really there?
Spinning our wheels
Spinning our wheels
Spinning our wheels for years
You can't get there
You can't get there
You can't get there from here
Why should this be so hard?
So close...
Why are you afraid?
Just tell me where we are
I would try another way
How can I get to you?
Where do I begin?
I try, but I can't get through
You won't let me in!
Spinning our wheels
How does it feel?
Caught in the wheels for years
Doesn't seem so well connected
Threads are almost bare
Something's new; just not expected
What am I to do about this?
Who am I to you?
There's a splice somewhere in all this
It's only got to do with you
Spinning our wheels
Spinning our wheels
Spinning our wheels for years (spinning)
You can't get there
You can't get there
You can't get there from here (yeah)
Spinning our wheels
How does it feel?
Caught in the wheels for years (spinning...wheels)
You can't get there
You can't get there
You can't get there from here (yeah)
Spinning our wheels
Spinning our wheels
Spinning our wheels for years (spinning...wheels)
You can't get there
You can't get there
You can't get there from here

Hello Trouble


Hello Trouble
Composer(s): Eddie McDuff; Orville Couch
Performer(s): Buck Owens;
and various other artists



Woke up this mornin', happy as could be
I looked out my window, what's that I see
Coming' up the sidewalk, just as plain as day
Well here comes trouble that I never thought I'd see since you went away

Hello trouble come on in
Well you talk about heartaches where in the world you been
Well, I ain't had the miseries since you been gone
Well hello trouble, trouble, trouble
Welcome home

We'll make a pot of coffee and you can rest your shoes
And you can tell me them sweet lies and I'll listen to you
Well it's just a little part of, part of the life we'd live
But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble than to never know the love you give

Hello trouble, come on in
Well you talk about heartaches, where in the world you been
Ain't had the miseries since you been gone
Well hello trouble, trouble, trouble
Welcome home

Hello trouble, trouble, trouble
Welcome home

He Did It


He Did It
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon; Sharon Sheeley
Performer(s): The Ronettes



He, yes he did it
And he, oh oh he said it
But he, he'll regret it
People let me tell you

I don't understand his alibi
I don't understand his reasons why
I don't understand him right or wrong
But he, oh he did it and he's gone

Oh how he fooled me
When he used me
And then he, he accused me
Let me tell you oh

I don't understand his alibi
I don't understand his reasons why
I don't understand him right or wrong
But he, oh he did it and he's gone

He, oh he shamed me
He, when he blamed me
But I, I'm not guilty
Let me tell you now

I don't understand his alibi
I don't understand his reasons why
I don't understand him right or wrong
But he, oh he did it and he's gone

He, he did it
He's gone
He did it now he's gone

Il Faut Du Temps (Je Me Battrai Pour Ça)


Il Faut Du Temps (Je Me Battrai Pour Ça)
Composer(s): Patrick Bruel - Marie-Florence Gros - Rick Allison
First performance by: Sandrine François - 2002



Il faut du temps pour apprendre à sourire
Pour apprendre à grandir au milieu d'un combat
Il faut du temps pour pendre haut et court
Les idéaux trop courts, mais on n'en est pas là

Je me suis battue pour ça, j'ai serré dans ma voix
Tous ces mots qui font peur quand on n'les entend pas
Je me suis battue pour ça, j'ai serré dans mes bras
Toutes ces femmes qui pleurent et que l'on ne voit pas

Il faut du temps, on nous dit ça, on dit
On parle et on écrit, et la guerre se vend
Il faut du temps, non, il faut vouloir fort
Monsieur Gandhi est mort, est-il mort pour longtemps?

Je me battrais pour ça, ici et maintenant
Moi, je n'ai plus le temps, j'ai qu'une vie devant moi
Je me battrai pour ça, je me battrai comment
La paix n'est qu'une enfant qui ne marche pas droit

Je n'suis qu'un p'tit soldat sans arme que ma voix
Mais je crierai pour toi, ma colombe pour toi
Je n'suis qu'un p'tit soldat, maintenant et là-bas
Mais des milliers de voix le crieront avec moi

Je me battrai pour ça, ici et maintenant
J'entends monter le vent, mais qui se lèvera?
Je me battrai pour ça, je me battrai comment
On dit qu'il faut du temps, mais des milliers de voix
Le crieront avec moi

Hello Susie


Hello Susie
Composer(s): Roy Wood; Art Wood
Performer(s): Amen Corner; The Move



Ev'rybody sat here
Waiting for the train to come
Just laid down
A bright-red carpet for her to step on

Looking through the band
I see her waving her hands at me
Her looks were tanned
And quite amazing as she ran to me
Frantic'lly she knocked me over
Causing such a scene
Shook the crowd enough
To sway the interest from the Queen
Her black transistor socked out 1 o' clock radio
Completely drowned the band
And loud enough to stop the show

Hello Susie tell me the news about yourself
Hello Susie tell me that you've enjoyed yourself
Yes sir, rock and roll the day away
Come on ev'rybody
They all seem too keen to make a scene
Come on ev'rybody
Gotta kick the dust away

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother


He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Composer(s): Bob Russell; Bobby Scott
Performer(s): The Hollies



The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with gladness
And love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Spin, Spin, Spin


Spin, Spin, Spin
Composer(s): Jim Croce - Ingrid Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce



Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around

The harlequin dances in a costume of green
Spin around
But under his makeup his age can't be seen
Spin around
But where are you spinnin'
When will you know
That life is for livin'
That it isn't a show?

Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around

You look out on the city from your penthouse so high
Spin around
But your pedestal's your prison and so is your high
Spin around
But where are you spinnin'
When will you know
That life is for livin'
That it isn't a show?

Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around

Your pills are you conscience
They make ev'rything seem all right
Spin around
Take a white one go to sleep
Take a red one to stay up all night
To spin around
But where are you spinnin'
When will you know
That life is for livin'
That it isn't a show?
Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around
Spin, spin, spin
Spin away, spin away
Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around

Hello Summertime


Hello Summertime
Composer(s): William Backer; Roger Cook;
Raquel Davis; Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro



Birds and bees and all the flowers and trees, fishes on the line
Girls and guys and yellow butterflies singing hello summertime
A homemade boat and a river to float nothing on our mind
Summer moon above two people in love singing hello summertime

Summertime laying back in the sun, yes summertime having summertime fun
It's a time for two just me and you and the summertime
Swing from a limb drop in for a swim, hey the water sure looks fine
Ain't nothing wrong just floating along singing hello summertime

Summertime grins, lots of good friends we're all feeling fine
Watch the sun go down, hear the summer sounds singing hello summertime
Summertime laying back in the sun, yes summertime having summertime fun
It's a time for two just me and you and the summertime

He Ain't Got Rhythm


He Ain't Got Rhythm
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Alice Faye



I know a professor of great renown
And he is the loneliest man in town
He's as smart as a man can be
But he never has company
Why is he the loneliest man in town?

He ain't got rhythm
Ev'ry night he sits in the house alone
'Cause he ain't got rhythm
Ev'ry night he sits there and wears a frown
He attracted some attention when he found the fourth dimension
But he ain't got rhythm, so no one's with 'im
The loneliest man in town

A lonely man is he bending over his books
Hhis wife and family keep giving him dirty looks
'Cause he ain't got rhythm
When they call him up, it's to call him down
With a daring aviator he encircled the equator
But he ain't got rhythm, as no one's with 'im
The loneliest man in town

He ain't got rhythm
Ev'ry night he sits in the house alone
'Cause he ain't got rhythm
Ev'ry night he sits there and wears a frown
With a problem scientific, he's colossal and terrific
But he ain't got rhythm, so no one's with 'im
The loneliest man in town

A lonely man is he bending over his books
His wife and family keep giving him dirty looks
'Cause he ain't got rhythm
When they call him up, it's to call him down
In the month of January he compiled a dictionary
But he ain't got rhythm, as no one's with 'im
The loneliest man in town

(shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(shoo-bop, shoo-bop)

Hello, stranger
(ooh) It seems so good to see you back again
How long has it been?
(ooh, seems like a mighty long time)
(shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh)
It seems like a mighty long time

Oh-uh-oh, I my, my, my, m
I'm so glad
You stopped by to say "hello" to me
Remember that's the way it used to be
Ooh, it seems like a mighty long time
(shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh)
It seems like a mighty long time

Lewis sings a series of "oh-uh-oh's"on both sides of "I'm so glad you're here
again" while backups do 7 (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)'s

Oh-ahh-uh-oh
If you're not gonna stay
(ooh) Please don't treat me like you did before
Because I still love you so a-a-although
It seems like a mighty long time
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh
It seems like a mighty long time

Lewis does " Oh-uh-oh, I my, my, my, my" and "I'm so happy that you're here
again" and backups repeat (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)

He


He
Composer(s): Richard Mullen; Jack Richards
Performer(s): The McGuire Sisters;
and various other artists



He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights ev'ry star that makes the darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night

He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner calls and always finds him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say "I forgive"

He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say "I forgive"

He forgives

Hazte Fama


Hazte Fama
Performer(s): Fito Paez



( ...Suena "Start me up", de los Rolling Stones..
Señora Humberta, no sabe lo que pasa!
Que pasa, señora Batata?
Pasa que el flacucho de pelo largo y sucio del septimo piso
hace un ruido insoportable y me tiene harta, harta, harta...
Ay! ese homosexual, drogodependiente, hace cinco años que me tiene repodrida
Ayer salieron 10 muchachos (eran once, eran once) y antes de ayer 20 muchachas drogadas
(y lesbianas) (dulce de leche)Escuche la musica, escuche la musica...
Dulce de leche!
Mami, mami, me compre las bombachas de la Barbie y los anteojos de Batman y el disco..
sabes de quien? mira
De quien?
De Fito Paez!
Pero Constanza, todas porquerias!
Ay mama, sos borracha, borracha, chancha pedorra
(cachetada) Queres callarte?
Ay!... Anda, la reputa que te pario, escucha el disco)

Fito tiene sida, toma anfetaminas
y no hace otra cosa que caerse borracho por ahi, por ahi
todas mis vecinas me hablan de lo mismo
y yo les digo hazte fama y echate a dormir
Duerme con pastillas, fuma marihuana
y no hace otra cosa que volverse loco por ahi, por ahi
todos mis amigos me hablan de los mismo
y yo les digo hazte fama y echate a dormir
Todo el mundo sabe que ya no hay mas que hacer con su vida
Todo el mundo sabe que ya no sabe mas que hacer
Cuando este mundo se agita
todos empiezan a joder

Llega de mañana, no duerme en su cama
Y tira todas las botellas por el, no ves
Le pega a su chica, mea en los mercados
Pero hizo un par de discos que siempre detesta ver

Dicen que lo vieron no hace mucho tiempo
recolectando jeringas en el parque japonés, japonés
Y de vez en cuando, caza la guitarra
y se la va rocanroleando hasta el amanecer

Todo el mundo sabe que ya no hay mas que hacer con su vida
Todo el mundo sabe que ya no sabe mas que hacer
Cuando este mundo se agita todos empiezan a joder

Fito tiene sida, toma anfetaminas
y no hace otra cosa que caerse borracho por ahi, por ahi
todas mis vecinas me hablan de lo mismo
y yo les digo hazte fama y echate a dormir
y yo les digo (yo les digo) hazte fama y echate a dormir
y yo les digo (yo les digo) hazte fama y echate a dormir
y yo les digo (yo les digo) hazte fama y echate a dormir

Hazme El Milagro


Hazme El Milagro
Composer(s): Leopoldo Zaragoza García
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Esto no es vida ya mi amor se me fue
es un martirio en mi soledad
Siento que la vida se me está acabando
me estoy muriendo poco a poco de dolor

Diosito santo no me dejes morir
hazme el milagro que te voy a pedir
Dame licencia de volver a mirarla
de estrecharla en mis brazos
de besar su frente por última vez

Diosito santo no me dejes morir
hazme el milagro que te voy a pedir
Dame licencia de volver a mirarla
de estrecharla en mis brazos
de besar su frente por última vez
