Histoire De Faussaire


Histoire De Faussaire
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Se découpant sur champ d'azur
La ferme était fausse bien sûr
Et le chaume servant de toit
Synthétique comme il se doit

Au bout d'une allée de faux buis
On apercevait un faux puits
Du fond duquel la vérité
N'avait jamais dû remonter

Et la maîtresse de céans
Dans un habit, ma foi, seyant
De fermière de comédie
À ma rencontre descendit
Et mon petit bouquet, soudain
Parut terne dans ce jardin
Près des massifs de fausses fleurs
Offrant les plus vives couleurs

Ayant foulé le faux gazon
Je la suivis dans la maison
Où brillait sans se consumer
Un genre de feu sans fumée

Face au faux buffet Henri deux
Alignés sur les rayons de
La bibliothèque en faux bois
Faux bouquins achetés au poids

Faux Aubusson, fausses armures
Faux tableaux de maîtres au mur
Fausses perles et faux bijoux
Faux grains de beauté sur les joues
Faux ongles au bout des menottes
Piano jouant des fausses notes
Avec des touches ne devant
Pas leur ivoire aux éléphants

Aux lueurs des fausses chandelles
Enlevant ses fausses dentelles
Elle a dit, mais ce n'était pas
Sûr, tu es mon premier faux pas

Fausse vierge, fausse pudeur
Fausse fièvre, simulateurs
Ces anges artificiels
Venus d'un faux septième ciel

La seule chose un peu sincère
Dans cette histoire de faussaire
Et contre laquelle il ne faut
Peut-être pas s'inscrire en faux
C'est mon penchant pour elle et mon
Gros point du côté du poumon
Quand amoureuse elle tomba
D'un vrai marquis de Carabas

En l'occurrence Cupidon
Se conduisit en faux-jeton
En véritable faux témoin
Et Vénus aussi, néanmoins
Ce serait sans doute mentir
Par omission de ne pas dire
Que je leur dois quand même une heure
Authentique de vrai bonheur

Vous C'est Nous


Vous C'est Nous
First performance by: Virginie Pouchain - 2006



Peu importe sa patrie
C'est ici que l'on vit
L'eau et la terre
Juste pour quelques hommes
C'a nous coute cher
On est tous des hommes
Des femmes du monde

Tu sais nous, c'est vous
Puisque vous, c'est nous

Peu importe ce qu'on dit
C'est ici que l'on vit
On n'est plus esclaves ni colons
Alors souviens toi
De'passe et marchons
Vers le monde

Tu sais nous, c'est vous
Puisque vous, c'est nous

Nos hiers se touchent ou se ressemblent
Et demain existe
Pourvu qu'on l'attende ensembles

Tu sais nous, c'est vous
Puisque vous, c'est nous

Histoire D'aimer


Histoire D'aimer
Composer(s): Carlo Bixio; Guido DeAngelis;
Maurizio DeAngelis; Leila Chellabi
Performer(s): Dalida



Vivre une passion jusqu'à l'excès
Avec l'amour pour Roi
Aimer jusqu'à en être blessée
Avec l'amour pour loi
Se déchaîner jusqu'à la folie quand mort la jalousie
Tout oublier au creux d'un grand lit
C'est son histoire d'aimer

Dans le luxe d'un bel appartement ou je ne suis qu'un meuble
Je fais parfois des rêves troublants ou tu n'es plus aveugle
Amoureux et jaloux comme un fou
Tu sais prendre et donner
Alors je met en scène et je joue
Mon histoire d 'aimer

La passion quand je la rêve
Donne à notre amour la fièvre
C'est mon histoire d'aimer
Si tu me battais dans la vie
Je crois que je te dirais merci
La passion comme je la rêve
Donne à notre amour la fièvre
C'est mon histoire d'aimer
Quand on vivra un autre amour avec amour

Quand tu me trompes et que tu me mens
J'ai envie de hurler
Pour que ta rage dans un élan puisse me bâillonner
Dans un corps à corps désordonné je capitulerais
Voilà comment j'ai souvent rêvé
Mon histoire d'aimer

La passion quand je la rêve
Donne à notre amour la fièvre
C'est mon histoire d'aimer
Si tu me battais dans la vie
Je crois bien que je te dirais merci
La passion comme je la rêve
Donne à notre amour la fièvre
C'est mon histoire d'aimer
Si tu me battais dans la vie
Je crois que te dirais merci
La passion quand je la rêve
Donne à notre amour la fièvre
C'est mon histoire d'aimer
Si tu me battais dans la vie...

Stay Awhile


Stay Awhile
Composer(s): Ken Tobias
Performer(s): The Bells



Into my room he creeps
Without making a sound
Into my dreams he peeps
With his hair all long and hanging down

How he makes me quiver
How he makes me smile
With all this love I have to give him
I guess I'm gonna stay with him awhile

She brushes the curls from my eyes
She drops her robe on the floor
And she reaches for the light on the bureau
And the darkness is her pillow once more

How she makes me quiver
How she makes me smile
With all this love I have to give her
I guess I'm gonna stay with her awhile

How it makes me quiver
How it makes me smile
With all this love I have to give you
Guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile

How it makes me quiver
How it makes me smile
With all this love I have to give you
Guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile

Stay with you awhile

I guess I'm gonna stay

His Wife Refused


His Wife Refused
Composer(s): David Byrne
Performer(s): David Byrne



A great big house- with nothing in it
He comes home says "Now wait a minute"
He's comin' in She's goin' out
He turns around says, "What's that about?"

Do what they like, the kid's in school
Think she don't know, now, who's kidding who?
He turns around says "Who wants to know?"
Open the door and there's nobody home!

Go ahead- fill their heads
Go ahead- fill their heads with poison
Take a look- these people are savages!
Take a look- at their misfortune

I'm goin up I got a message
I'm gonna wait till I close the door
I'm gonna wrap, myself in blankets
I'm gonna, roll out, across the floor

Well the bride bride and the groom
Run in a circle around their house
They're goin' out they're comin' in
Inside a circle around their house

These shoes don't fit- this tie don't match
I'm gonna throw it away when I get home
I'm turned around I'm doin' my best
I'm gonna wait until the light comes on

Yes he's the king and she's the queen
Run in a circle around their house
Open the door and let them in
Inside a circle around their house

Mr. Nobody


Mr. Nobody
Composer(s): Matjaž Vlašic - Urša Vlašic
First performance by: Anžej Dežan - 2006



You, you came to me one night
Just like a ray of light
I thought we'd be forever

Now it's so clear to me
I'm part of history
You're leaving me in sorrow

So deeply, so badly, you're hurting me

Tell me, who's that lucky hero
Sleeping tightly on your pillow?
Ah... tell me, will it be forever?
'Cause when you look at me
I'm Mister Nobody
It's just a game you play
Can't let you walk away

Like a stranger passing by
With no more tears to dry
You're leaving me in sorrow

So deeply, so badly, you're hurting me

Tell me, who's that lucky hero
Sleeping tightly on your pillow?
Ah... tell me, will it be forever?
'Cause when you look at me
I'm Mister Nobody
It's just a game you play
Can't let you walk away

Tell me, who's that lucky hero
Sleeping tightly on your pillow?
Ah... tell me, will it be forever?
'Cause when you look at me
I'm Mister Nobody
It's just a game you play
Can't let you walk away

His Rocking Horse Ran Away


His Rocking Horse Ran Away
From the Film "And The Angels Sing 1944"
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Betty Hutton;
and various other artists



I must sit down for a minute
I'm ready to fall in a heap
Willie's been fed and I've tucked him in bed
thank goodness the darling's asleep
He's a wonderful boy and a joy and a boon

Ahh, gee, you should have seen him this afternoon

Bang went the bridge lamp, down went the table, crash went the china tray
But he said "I couldn't help it, my rocking horse ran away!"
Rip rip went the curtain, wham went the window, crunch went the new buffet
And I heard him tell his daddy "My rocking horse ran away"

Somehow Indians got into our front room
Our cowboy grabbed for his gun and went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Slam went the screen door, smash went the mirror, looks like I'll soon be gray
But he smiles and what's the difference and maybe some Mother's Day
I'll remember when his rocking horse ran away

Got up early this morning, wore a flimsy negligee
Had to hurry to fix the breakfast and get daddy on his way
Figured I could get the paper, so the neighbors wouldn't see
So I sneaked out on the porch, very, very quietly
Wham went the dish pan, then came a holler, up went the neighbor's shade
It was Mother's little darling, out on a commando raid

Came home late from a picture. I was tired, my shoes were tight
Took off my stockings, dropped my girdle
Got undressed and pulled the light. boy!
Slipped into my night gown, then tiptoed across the floor
Better have a look at Junior, so I peeked into his door
Clang, clang, clang went a cowbell, whee went a whistle, I nearly had a stroke
It was mother's precious baby, just havin' his little joke

Always just when I'm breathin' a peaceful sigh
There's G-Men, coppers and robbers and hi-yo silver!
Bam went the book case, boot went the fruit bowl, boom went the glass bouquet
But he smiles and what's the difference and maybe some mother's day
I'll remember when, bang went the lamp, down went the table
Crash went the tray, rip rip went the curtain, wham went a window
Clang went a bell, whee went a whistle, bam went a pan, slam went a door
On that eventful day, when his rocking horse ran away

Stay Away From The Apple Tree


Stay Away From The Apple Tree
Composer(s): Roger Bowling - Chris Butler
Performer(s): Billie Jo Spears; Lena Martell



In the beginning God made the world
And something wasn't right
He reached down His hand and He made man
Then He smiled, 'cause it was right

But it didn't take long for Him to see
This man was so alone
So He gave him a woman
To love and call his own

Now, the devil had an apple tree
The fruit, it looked so fine
Man took a bite, it tasted sweet
So he stepped out of line

Now today it's still the same
And I know she's tempting you
So with all my love and all my heart
I am begging you

Stay away, stay away from the apple tree
Don't you know that all she wants to do
Is hurt you and me?
Stay away, stay away from the apple tree
And spend all your time loving me

His Lips Get In The Way


His Lips Get In The Way
French Title: Je Ne Veux Que Lui
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Helen Miller
Performer(s): The Shirelles



Everybody tells me I'm
A fool and I'm just wastin' time
To love someone who's not in love with me
Friends all say that I'm a dope
To stay in love when there's no hope
But I'm a dope who loves him hopelessly

Chorus:
What can I do? Hey, what can I say?
Each time I try to say goodbye
His lips get in the way
Oh yeah, his lips get in the way

He says my love don't mean a thing
But still he keeps me on a string
I'm just someone he likes to have around
I say I want no more of this
But then he stops me with a kiss
I can't resist him though he puts me down

(chorus)

Everybody calls me fool
They say "Hey girl, go back to school and learn the things that every girl should know"
But I guess I've got no brains
Because my foolish heart remains
I just can't break the chains & let him go, no no

(chorus)

His lips get in the way

A chamar outra vez

And everything waits when you're dancing in style

His Hand In Mine


His Hand In Mine
Composer(s): Mosie Lister
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists



You may ask me how I know my Lord is real (my Lord is real)
You may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel (the way I feel)
But I know he's real today he'll always be (he'll always be)
I can feel his hand in mine and that's enough for me

I will never walk alone he holds my hand (he holds my hand)
He will guide each step I take
And if I fall I know he'll understand
Till the day he tells me why he loves me so (he loves me so)
I can feel his hand in mine
That's all I need to know

I will never walk alone he holds my hand (he holds my hand)
He will guide each step I take
And if I fall I know he'll understand
Till the day he tells me why he loves me so (he loves me so)
I can feel his hand in mine
That's all I need to know

I can feel his hand in mine
That's all I need to know

Stay awake don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed

Stay awake don't nod and dream
Stay awake don't nod and dream

His Girl


His Girl
Composer(s): Johnny Cowell
Performer(s): The Guess Who; Al Hirt



Look at the way they walk down the street
You can see she's his girl
All of the guys I know envy him
When they see his girl

She loves only one boy
She's faithful and true
If I were that one boy
I'd be faithful too

Perfect in every way
I'm a-???? in close to his girl
Even if I were his friend
Then I'd get to know his girl

She looks like an angel
Right out of this world
And ev'ry guy wishes
That she was his girl

She looks like an angel
Right out of this world
And ev'ry guy wishes
That she was his girl

Woh-lah-tah-tah-lah-tah-tah-aah-aah-aaah
Woh-ooh-ooh-ooh ..................

His Eye Is On The Sparrow


His Eye Is On The Sparrow
Composer(s): Civilla D. Martin; Charles H. Gabriel
Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson;
and various other artists



Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

"Let not your heart be troubled"
His tender word I hear
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

First performance by: Lanny Ross - 1934

Stay as sweet as you are
Don't let a thing
Ever change you
Stay as sweet as you are
Don't let a soul
Rearrange you

Don't ever lose
The charm you possess
Your loveliness, darling
The way you say "yes"
Stay as sweet as you are
Discreet as you are
You're divine, dear

Stay as grand as you are
And as you are
Tell me that you're mine, dear
Young and gay or old and gray
Near to me or afar
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are

Young and gay or old and gray
Near to me or afar
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are

Hiroshima Mon Amour


Hiroshima Mon Amour
Composer(s): Warren Cann; Billy Currie; John Foxx
Performer(s): Ultravox



Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars
Splintered voices down the 'phone
The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no
Someone waits behind the door
Hiroshima mon amour

Riding inter-city trains
Dressed in European grey
Riding out to echo beach
A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no
How can I ever let them go?
Hiroshima mon amour

Meet beneath the autumn lake
Where only echoes penetrate
Walk through polaroids of the past
Future's fused like shattered glass, the sun's so low
Turns our silhouettes to gold
Hiroshima mon amour

La Coco-Dance


La Coco-Dance
First performance by: Séverine Ferrer - 2006



Sous les caresses du soleil
Entre ciel et mer oublie tes galères
Et si la vie te mènes en bateau
Laisse toi aller et viens danser
Si t’as l’amour en mille morçeaux
Et le cœur à plat l’bonheur à zéro
J’ai ce qu’il te faut pour te soigner
Un p’tit coup de rein bien balancé
Bouge, bouge les mains le corps et les reins
Laisse toi bercer jusqu’au bout de l’été
Bouge, bouge les mains le corps et les reins
Sur la musique pour s’aimer

Eho coco-dance é upa upa aroha (ého coco-dance c’est la musique de l’amour)
Eho coco-dance é ori aroha (ého coco-dance c’est la danse de l’amour)

Tahiti aux îles du vent
Le sable doré sur ma peau bronzé
On est bien plus prêt du paradis
Pour aller danser le tamouret
Bouge, bouge les mains le corps et les reins
Laisse toi bercer jusqu’au bout de l’été
Bouge, bouge les mains le corps et les reins
Sur la musique pour s’aimer

Eho coco-dance é upa upa aroha (ého coco-dance c’est la musique de l’amour)
Eho coco-dance é ori aroha (ého coco-dance c’est la danse de l’amour)

Ta tohara ori i te (rejoingnez nous pour danser)
Ta tohara ori i te (rejoingnez nous pour danser)

Hiroshima


Hiroshima
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Par la colombe et l'olivier
Par la détresse du prisonnier
Par l'enfant qui n'y est pour rien
Peut-être viendra-t-elle demain

Avec les mots de tous les jours
Avec les gestes de l'amour
Avec la peur, avec la faim
Peut-être viendra-t-elle demain

Par tous ceux qui sont déjà morts
Par tous ceux qui vivent encore
Par ceux qui voudraient vivre enfin
Peut-être viendra-t-elle demain

Avec les faibles, avec les forts
Avec tous ceux qui sont d'accord
Ne seraient-ils que quelques-uns
Peut-être viendra-t-elle demain

Par tous les rêves piétinés
Par l'espérance abandonnée
À Hiroshima, ou plus loin
Peut-être viendra-t-elle demain
La Paix!

Stay A Little Longer


Stay A Little Longer - 1946 ((aka Stay All Night (Stay A Little Longer) - 1973)
Composer(s): Tommy Duncan - Bob Wills
First release by: Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



Can't go home if you're going by the mill
'Cause the bridge' washed out at the bottom of the hill
Big Creek's up, Little Creek's level
Plow my corn with a double shovel

Stay all night, stay a little longer
Dance all night, dance a little longer
Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner
Don't see why you can't stay a little longer

Sitting in the window, singing to my love
Slop bucket fell from the window up above
Mule and the grasshopper eatin ice cream
mule got sick, so they laid him on the green

You ought to see my Blue Eyed Sally
She lives way down on Shinbone Alley
Number on the gate, the number on the door
The next house over is the grocery store

Grab your partner, pat her on the head
If she don't like biscuits, feed her cornbread
Girls around Big Creek, 'bout half grown
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone
