Hour Glass


Hour Glass
Composer(s): Tony Collacott; Jack Mowbray; Breen Leoeuf
Performer(s): Elton John



I'm just sitting counting all the cobwebs
And wondering just when you'll come along
You said that you'd be here an hour ago
But an hour ago is hours ago from then

No, and I don't know what to do
I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe
And the sand in the hour glass slips on by

Light another cigarette, watch the burning glow
Catching spiders in my hand, and then I let them go
Imagine pictures on the wall, watch the insects where they crawl
They don't care about you and I've nothing to do

Maybe the bus didn't get there on time
Maybe the train doesn't run on that line for some reason
And she might not come
Because she doesn't want to see you again
No no no, that can't be true
And I've got nothing to do

A Love Of Your Own


A Love Of Your Own
Composer(s): Ned Doheny - Hamish Stuart
Performer(s): Average White Band
and multiple other artists



The sooner you give, the sooner you get to have
A love of your own
The longer it takes, the better you come to know
A love of your own, ooh

Now don't you be afraid, to give your heart
You never know till you try it, yeah
Don't deny it to yourself
Don't be afraid, just walk right on in
The door is standing open, you know I'm always hoping

The sooner you give, the sooner you get to have
A love of your own
As far as you go, you're never too far behind
A love of your own

Now don't you be afraid to shoot the moon
You'll never know till you try it
Don't deny it to yourself
Don't you be afraid to change your tune, ooh
The offer's always open, you know I'm always hoping
You know I'm always hoping

For, A love of My own, to shelter me from the cold
A love of My own,
A love of My own you never too far behind
A love of your own
You've got to keep looking till you find
A love of your own
A love of your own
You've got to keep looking till you find
A love of your own

Houpetta La Bella


Houpetta La Bella
Composer(s): André Bourvil; Etienne Lorin; C. François
Performer(s): André Bourvil



Dans les montagnes en maraude
La fille du contrebandier
Sur son p'tit ân' portait en fraude
Du tabac dans son petit panier
Elle chantait la ritournelle
Qu'un gars avait faite pour ell'...

Oh! hé!, oh! hé!
Ell' s'app'lait Houpetta
Petta-ci, petta-là
Petta-haut, petta-bas
Houpetta-la-bella
Houpetta-la-bella
Houpetta, la mia bella
Sur son ân' elle allait
Petta-ci, petta-là
Petta-haut, petta-bas
Houpetta-la-bella
Houpetta-la-bella
De sa voix fraîche elle chantait: coucou!
Au loin l'écho lui répondait: coucou!
Quand le petit âne faisait, hi! han!
Au loin l'écho lui répondait: la même chose
Coucou-ci, coucou-là
Petta-ci, petta-là
L'écho mêlait tout ça
A la belle Houpetta
Ah! ah! ah! ..........

Mais un beau jour elle se fit prendre
Par un douanier, un bien beau gars
Qui lui a pris sans plus attendre
Tout ce qu'elle avait comme tabac
En pleurant la contrebandière
Lui dit: "ne me fais pas d'misèr's"
Oh! hé!, oh! hé!
Je m'appelle Houpetta
Petta-ci, petta-là
Petta-haut, petta-bas
Houpetta-la-bella
Houpetta-la-bella
Houpetta, la mia bella
Je ne veux pas qu'tu touch's à mon paquet d' tabac
Je t'en prie, je n'veux pas
Ce n'est pas, ce n'est pas
Ce n'est pas, ce n'est pas
Ce n'est pas ta tabatière
Mais le douanier lui, il a dit: "je dois"
Et tout de suite l'écho répondit

Rien parce qu'il n'avait pas crié assez fort

Alors finalement elle lui a dit: "ben, le v'la"
Mais pour s'moquer d'ell' il répondit: "merci! j'fum'pas"
C'est ainsi qu'Houpetta
Sauva tout son tabac
Le petit ân' trotta
Emmena Houpetta
Ah! ah! ah! ...

A Whole New World


A Whole New World
((Dutch Version: Een Nieuw Begin (Garry Hagger & Sophia) - 1998))
Composer(s): Tim Rice - Alan Menken
First performance by: Brad Kane & Lea Salonga - 1992
Covered by multiple other artists



I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

That very day you won my heart
And my love for you shall never part

And I appreciate you need what I say
'Cause a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

Knock, knocking everyday
'Cause a love like yours, it don't come knocking

Amoureuse Ou Pas


Amoureuse Ou Pas ((aka Toc Toc Toc (by Tina Banon) - 1969))

Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland - Axelle Red
Performer(s): Axelle Red - 1993



Personne n'a le droit...
Non non de blouser qui que ce soit
Amoureuse de toi
Amoureuse de lui... aussi
On n'a pas toujours le choix

Qui ne t'avait jamais vu pleurer?
Qui pourrait croire à ton indifférence?
Mais quelque part je sais
Que derrière ce regard se cache ma sentence

Au fond c'est toi, toi que j'aime

Si seulement je pouvais t'en parler
Me faire comprendre ou me faire engueuler
Amoureuse ou pas...

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine

When they said you was high classed
well, that was just a lie

A Love Beyond Time


A Love Beyond Time
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Quiet moments at the edge of the sea
Silence washing like a wave over me
I can't help smiling when I think
Of how you've come to be
Such a strong part of me

I watch you sleeping
In the gray light of dawn
Half the covers off
And half of them on
And I can't help feeling I'm part
Of some grand design
And a love beyond time

I trace your cheekbone
With the edge of my thumb
I taste your shoulder
With the tip of my tongue
I smell the fragrance in your hair
Of the sun and sea
Of the sun on the sea

I watch the play of light
And shade on your skin
I hear you whisper
That you want me again.
And I rise to greet your grateful lips
Once again with mine
And a love beyond time

No one could ever love you more
No one could ever love you more than I
No soul could ever shelter yours
No soul could ever shelter yours like mine
Though the world may rage around us
We're safe within the storm
With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time

Now we've both known
Our share of failures before
We both drove
Our share of ships on the shore
We both know the cost
Of dreaming too hard, too high
Of dreaming too high

But now it seems
That every step that we missed
Was just a trick of fate
To lead us to this
When we can share
The taste of something that's so sublime
As a love beyond time

No one could ever love you more
No one could ever love you more than I
No soul could ever shelter yours
No soul could ever shelter yours like mine
Though the world may rage around us
We're safe within the storm
With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time

With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time

Houden Van Jou


Houden Van Jou
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Andy Free
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Kil is de nacht
Verlangen naar jou is diep
Met een hart dat op je wacht
Voel ik vlagen van romantiek
Dat ik naar jou verlang
Maakt me zo rusteloos
Het is zo stil hier zonder jou
Was jij maar hier
Voor altijd hier
Dit is alleen maar een teken
Dat ik m'n grenzen heb verlegd
Soms is het moeilijk schat
En klopt het heengaan nog
Maar als de pijn er is dan zeg ik toch

Houden van jou
Ik wil m'n leven lang houden van jou
één en ware liefde, trouw zijn aan jou
Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld
Diep in de hemel
Houden van jou
In alle hevigheid houden van jou
Met alle levenskracht leven voor jou
Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld
Diep in de hemel
Neem de tijd en vertel me hoe jij ook ons samenzijn ziet
Vertel me van een geluk van een toekomst die jij me biedt
Ik besef dat wij moeten sterk zijn
Met ons tweeën jij en ik
Ik nooit het spoor verlies
En met twee harten leef vanaf nu
Met jou elk ogenblik
Houden van jou
Ik wil m'n leven lang houden van jou
Een en ware liefde trouw zijn aan jou
Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld
Diep in de hemel
Houden van jou
In alle eeuwigheid houden van jou
Met alle levenskracht leven voor jou
Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld
Diep in de hemel
Houden van jou
Ik wil m'n leven lang houden van jou
Een en ware liefde trouw zijn aan jou
Wij samen dromen ons los van de wereld
Diep in de hemel
Houden van jou

L'ouest D'Eddy


L'ouest D'Eddy
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Quand j'étais jeune j'adorais Gary Cooper
Et le sourire du très grand Burt Lancaster
Mais Jack Palance venait hanter mes nuits
Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy

Randolph Scott était mon meilleur ami
Car je tirais presque aussi bien que lui
Quand Richard Widmark nous cherchait des ennuis
Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy

Mes héros subissent
La gloire ou l'oubli
Quant à moi je suis
Le cow-boy
De service

Robert Mitchum me buvait tout mon whisky
Et grâce à lui j'étais toujours sain d'esprit
Malgré John Wayne qui m'entraînait lui aussi
Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy

Des héros simplistes
Made in Italie
Et western spaghetti
Font de moi
Un raciste

Je sais très bien que mon enfance est finie
Je n'ai pas envie d'être adulte aujourd'hui
Je préfère aller retrouver mes amis
Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy
Je préfère aller retrouver mes amis
Là-bas à l'Ouest d'Eddy

Écoute bien petit frère
Ce garçon aux yeux clairs
Il nous a emmené
Hier soir au ciné
Ce n'est qu'un bon copain
Ça ne va pas plus loin
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse

Petit frère vas-tu te taire
Hou! la menteuse
Ce garçon n'a rien pour plaire
Elle est amoureuse
Même s'il a de beaux cheveux blonds
Même s'il a de gentilles façons
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse
Ecoute bien petit frère
Je n'aime pas ces manières
Tu es trop jeune encore
Tu sais que tu as tort
Retourne à tes leçons
Je n'aime pas ce garçon
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse

Petit frère vas-tu te taire
Hou! la menteuse
Ce garçon n'a rien pour plaire
Elle est amoureuse
Même s'il a des jolis yeux verts
Même s'il a de gentilles manières
Hou ! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse

C'est vrai qu'il est gentil
Qu'il a beaucoup d'humour
Ce qu'il faut de folie
Mais ne vas pas t'imaginer
Que j'ai trouvé le grand amour
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse

Petit frère vas-tu te taire
Hou! la menteuse
Ce garçon n'a rien pour plaire
Elle est amoureuse
Même s'il a beaucoup de charme
Même si parfois il me désarme
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse

Ecoute bien petit frère
Tu sais je suis sincère
Si ce garçon me plais
Eh bien je te le dirai
En tout cas petit frère
Mêles toi de tes affaires
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse

Petit frère vas-tu te taire
Hou! la menteuse
Ce garçon n'a rien pour plaire
Elle est amoureuse
Même s'il a de beaux cheveux blonds
Même s'il a de gentilles façons
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse

Mais non c'est juste un bon copain
Écoute! Arrête de chanter ça
Tu m'énerves!
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse
Ecoute si tu continues
Plus jamais je ne t'emmènerai
Au ciné avec moi, alors!
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse
Arrête!
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse
Ho! tu es pénible, écoute!
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse
J'vais dire à Papa
si tu continues de m'embêter
Hou! la menteuse
Elle est amoureuse
Oh! et puis tu m'énerves
Avec cette chanson idiote ....

Such a lot of livin' to do!
What a lot of livin' to do!

Hou Hou Méfions-Nous


Hou Hou Méfions-Nous
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



On s'était connu à Pigalle
Chez la femme d'un député
Chez la femme d'un député
Qui avait le goût du scandale
Étant de la majorité
Étant de la majorité
Avec sa barbe et son teint pâle
Ses cheveux pendant sur le cou
Ses cheveux pendant sur le cou
Son vieux blue-jean et ses sandales
Il paraissait vraiment dans l'coup
Il paraissait vraiment dans l'coup

Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout

Il m'entraîna tout feu tout flamme
A une grande manifestation
A une grande manifestation
De celles qui rassemblent à Paname
La fine fleur de la nation
La fine fleur de la nation
Allons faire la révolution
S'écrie mon étrange quidam
S'écrie mon étrange quidam
Foutons les banquiers au violon
Foutons le feu à Notre-Dame
Foutons le feu à Notre-Dame

Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout

On va faire chanter le plastic
Aux oreilles du grand patron
Aux oreilles du grand patron
Rugit mon barbu frénétique
En fouillant dans son pantalon
En fouillant dans son pantalon
Devant le peuple médusé
Il n'en sortit qu'un étendard
Il n'en sortit qu'un étendard
On rigolait à l'Elysée
C'était râpé pour le grand Soir
C'était râpé pour le grand Soir

Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout

Voyant sa tactique faillir
V'là qu'il m'invite à boire un coup
V'là qu'il m'invite à boire un coup
Dans sa chambre pour mieux saisir
La pensée de Mao Tsé-Toung
La pensée de Mao Tsé-Toung
Dieu seul sait quel fut mon supplice
Quand je lui grimpai sur le dos
Quand je lui grimpai sur le dos
Mais pour une fois que la police
On peut la baiser comme il faut
On peut la baiser comme il faut

Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout

L'assaut fut sans doute si rude
Qu'il partit les jambes à son cou
Qu'il partit les jambes à son cou
En qualifiant mon attitude
De trop avant-garde à son goût
De trop avant-garde à son goût
Depuis qu'on sait son aventure
Jusqu'au revers de la médaille
Jusqu'au revers de la médaille
Il paraît qu'à la préfecture
Y'a des volontaires en pagaille
Y'a des volontaires en pagaille

Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout
Hou hou méfions-nous les flics sont partout...

A white sportcoat and a pink carnation

Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams

I'm in a blue blue mood

A Lot Of Good


A Lot Of Good
Composer(s): Waylon Jennings - Troy Seals - Bobby Emmons
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings



As I watched the tail lights disappear
Suddenly it got real lonely here
I know the words I could have said
To make her turn around
But a lot of good it's gonna do me now

I could have started with I'm sorry
And really meant it from the heart
The rest would have been easy
Together in the dark

We could have found that old time feeling
That we lost somewhere somehow
But a lot of good it's gonna do me now

Still thinking about the things I could have said
And looking at her picture by the bed
I realized just what I've lost as I pulled the covers down
But a lot of good it's gonna do me now

I could have told her I was sorry
And really meant it from the heart
The rest would have been easy
Together in the dark

We could have found that old time feeling
That we lost somewhere somehow
But a lot of good it's gonna do me now
A lot of good it's gonna do me now

Hots On For Nowhere


Hots On For Nowhere
Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin;
Nicklebag; Van Halen



I was burned in the heat of the moment
No, it could've been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted
Dear fellows, I turned away
Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older
I've got friends who will give me fuck-all

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la

Corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
The face in the mirror turns grey
So, I looked 'round for a hitch from a reindeer
Said you oughta find him out in the day
I turned 'round to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah

La, la, la,...

The moon and the stars out of order
As the tide tends to ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay
I don't ask that my feet fall on clover
I don't roam at opportunity's door
Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward

La, la, la,...

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise
Now everything's finally happened
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
You can land in a boat without oars

La, la, la,...

Hey babe, Hey babe
Hey babe, I lost my way
Hey babe, Hey babe
I really, really did now
Hey babe, Hey babe
I don't know where I'm gonna find it
Hey babe, Hey babe
Do you wanna know
Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah

Let me tell you now, babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right
C'mon babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right
C'mon babe
Let me tell you
If it feels, if it feels, if it feels
if it feels so good, so good, so good
Oh, yeah

A Long Time, A Long Way To Go


A Long Time, A Long Way To Go
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
Performer(s): Todd Rundgren



It's a long time and a long way to go
What was once mine isn't mine anymore
All my fears you would not find me
All behind me
It's a long way and a long time to come
When our hearts stray and the troubles begun
I'll forget it if you make me
Please just take me if you will
I know that if you will
Nothing you can say could block my way
Nothing you can do to make me not want you
And love you for a long time
It's a long time and a long way to go
But in my mind there is one thing I know
For as long as we're together
Love forever

Cuántos aviones
tendrán que cruzar
el azul del mar
cuántos cometas
vendrán a morir
atrás de mi ventanal…

Cuántos ladridos
mi perro dará
antes de dormir
a esos fantasmas
que viven aquí
desde que tú
no estas…

Estaré esperando
en alguna mesa
del Hotel…
junto al ventanal
las olas romperán
este silencio
Miramar…
sin tiempo

Cuántos eclipses
tendré que cruzar
cuántos peajes
tendré que pagar
cuántas canciones
tendré que escribir
para aprender a olvidar…

A Long Time Gone


A Long Time Gone
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still you're not there
You're a long time gone
Such a long time gone

Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone

Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will

You're a long time gone

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
You're a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
You're a long time gone
