À Remettre À Mon Fils Quand Il Aura Seize Ans
À Remettre À Mon Fils Quand Il Aura Seize Ans
Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud
Mon nécessaire d'or des heures de bataille
Dont je me suis servi aux matins exaltants
D'Iéna, de Friedland, d'Eylau, de Montmirail
Le remettre à mon fils quand il aura seize ans
Trois caisses d'acajou aux armes impériales
Mon glaive de consul et mes deux lits de camp
Mon uniforme de la garde nationale
Les remettre à mon fils quand il aura seize ans
Et ma Légion d'honneur, ma lunette de guerre
Manteau de Marengo, bottes et gilets blancs
Les trois vases sacrés de ma chapelle claire
Les remettre à mon fils quand il aura seize ans
Mes éperons d'argent et mes fusils de chasse
Les selles des chevaux, mon épée d'Austerlitz
Mes chapeaux délavés hissés dans leurs espaces
Quand il aura seize ans, les remettre à mon fils
Certains n'oublieront pas ce qui me fut moins beau
Je te le donne aussi, car tu es mon enfant
Les échecs de ma vie, mes soirs de Waterloo
Les remettre à mon fils quand il aura seize ans

Hymn To Her
Hymn To Her
Composer(s): Andrew Latimer; Jan Schelhaas
Performer(s): Camel; Colin Bass
Look to the mirror
I can tell no lies
Time drawing nearer
Still I wonder why
You are the giver
Me I never try
Now we're together
Still I wonder why
Please can you tell me
When you're by my side
And when my eyes see
Will I wonder why
If you are with me
I can only try
To find the answer
In the words that ask the question
Why don't we know
And why don't it show
I wanna find out
Try let it all out

A Red Kiss On A Blue Letter
Composer(s): Ray Evans - G. Lang - Roger Genger
Performer(s): Doris Day; Helen Forrest
A red kiss on a blue letter
Is all I sent to you
A red kiss on a blue letter
To show what I've been through
Each night I talk to myself
Telling myself
That I've kept my love true
And when you talk to yourself
You're telling yourself
That he feels that way too
A red kiss on a blue letter
Is all that I sent to you
A red kiss on a blue letter
Is all that I sent to you

Reason For Living
Reason For Living
Composer(s): Rick Parfitt - Francis Rossi
Performer(s): Status Quo
I felt in need of some loving so I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living, but I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker and I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer but there wasn't anybody there
I thought there should have been someone, but I wasn't quite sure who
It finished me to find there was no-one that I could take my troubles to
So I knelt down by my bedside and I started to say a prayer
It was when I asked for nothing I could feel that there was somebody there
I'm looking still, but it's easy 'cos I know which way to go
It doesn't matter how long it takes me 'cos there's someone there to help me who knows
All the things that I am after, all the loving that I want to share
It's so hard but I don't mind 'cos there really is someone there
I felt in need of some loving so I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living, but I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker and I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer but there wasn't anybody there

Hymn
Hymn
Composer(s): John Lees
Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest
Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly
Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

A Really Good Time
A Really Good Time
Composer(s): Brian Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1977
You´re heard enough
Of the blues and stuff
You´re pretty swell now
´cause you´re pretty tough
But I don´t have to tell you
How hard it can be to get by
You never bothered
About anyone else
You´re well educated
With no common sense
But love - that´s one thing
You really need to get by
All your troubles
Come from yourself
Nobody hurts you
- they don´t care
Just as long as you show them
A really good time
All the things
You used to do
A trip to the movies
A drink or two
They don´t satisfy you
They don´t tell you anything new
You know I don´t talk much
Except to myself
´cause i´ve not much to say
And there´s nobody else
Who´s ready and willing
And able to know me - I guess
Listen to me
I´m not finished yet
There´s something to tell you
That I can´t forget
Just have a really good time
There´s a girl
I used to know
Her face is her fortune
She´s got a heart of gold
She never goes out much
But boy - when she does
Then you know
She´s got no money
Well, maybe a dime
But she knows what she´s worth
And that´s reason why
She´s gonna make it
She´s got what it takes
You´ll appreciate that
She´s probably late
But I know
And you know
We all know
She´ll have a really good time

What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?
What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?
To please the lions in this day
I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me
I need a brand new friend who doesn't trouble me
I need someone and who doesn't need me
I see the bathroom is clear
I think that somebody's near
I'm sure that someone is following me, oh yeah
Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?
Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend, the end

Huwelijksreis
Huwelijksreis
Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld
M'n vrouw is alleen op huwelijksreis sinds 13 april
De prijs van de reis voor twee maakt meteen een reuze verschil
Ik ben nou maar blij dat ze voor haar vertrek
Nog tegen me zei: "Aan werk geen gebrek
De heg moet geknipt, de tuin omgespit
Het schuurtje gewit"
Twee weken terug ontving ik een brief, wat schrijft ze toch mooi
Ik ben al een maand aan de Cote d' Azur, dus niet meer in 't Gooi
Ik ontmoette, hoe vind je 't, ik zag het meteen
Van vroeger een vrindje, dat was ook alleen
Hij was met de wagen en bood me toen aan
Naar Nice mee te gaan
Ze schreef/schrijft ook: "We hebben hier op het strand veel pret met elkaar
't Hotel is echt chique en 'k ben al erg bruin, nou, 't beste dan maar
Wat een aardig gebaar van die vroegere vrind
't Gebeurt niet zo vaak dat je zo iemand vindt
Wat zal ze veel leren, want reizen, vind ik
Verruimt zo de blik
En als ze straks thuiskomt ziet ze meteen ons nieuwe behang
Wat zal ze verrast/verrukt zijn als ze de loper ontdekt in de gang
M'n buurman, die zegt: "Dat vrouwtje van jou
Blijft mij te lang weg, vergeet 'r maar gauw"
M'n vrouw is alleen op huwelijksreis sinds 13 april
Waarom zegt zo'n man eigenlijk: "Vergeet je vrouw maar gauw"
Hoe kan ik dat nou?

A Ray Of Hope
A Ray Of Hope
Composer(s): Eddie Brigati - Felix Cavaliere
Performer(s): The Rascals; Soul Generation
Most people got soul if they wanna try
Let love be your goal and let it fly
Cause it's easy to hate and to draw a line
But error is human forgiveness is divine
I know a lot of people who think like me
That this world can be a place that's filled with harmony
First there's a lot of things we've got to rearrange
Put an end to hate and lies
So peace can come and truth shall reign
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind going out and doin' my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make His dream understood
Sometimes the road gets a little bit rough
Your strength is all gone, you had enough
But there's people who win without making fists
Our world won't survive lest we think like this
I can't imagine any greater need
To treat each other as we'd like to be
It's a gas just knowing what is yet to come
Not unless we get together
Got to get together one by one
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind goin out and doin my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
I got to keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out
Keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out
Keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out
Gonna take a little look way down inside
Gotta find out Lord, why I'm alive
We'll pray for a day when all men are free
And people can live like they're meant to be
Meanwhile it's all up to you and me
Start working together towards this dream
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind goin out and doin my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make His dream understood
As long as there is a ray of hope
I got to wait my turn till I can vote
As long as there is a ray of hope

A Ratos
A Ratos
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
A ratos de tu cuerpo
brotaba la alegría
iluminaba todo
con la luz de harina
A ratos la tristeza
brotaba de tu cuerpo
y todo lo anochecen
sombras de fuego
Por largas avenidas
a ratos caminamos
dices que un tren oscuro
te anda llamando
Lumbres enloquecidas
me dices que te llaman
No mires nunca, niña
pozos sin agua

A Railroad Bum
A Railroad Bum
Composer(s): J.A. Balthrop
Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Buddy Cagle
I used to be a railroad bum
A-livin' on the go
I rode freights from Canada
Down to Mexico
From sunny Cal to Minnesota
Where the ripplin' waters fall
I never seemed to have a dime
But I had myself a ball
Singin' hi le hi lo he-li-li-le-li-lo
I used to ba a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
I walked in the Silver Dollar
In Reno one night
I dropped a quarter in a one-armed bandit
The lemons lined up right
Took my winnin's then played poker
And I won ten thousand more
I used to be railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
Singin' hi le hi lo he-li-li-le-li-lo
I used to ba a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
When cotton's white in Tennessee
And shrimp boats sail in Maine
Each pickin' time
Soon you'll find me
Ridin' a Georgia train
'Cause I get restless when I'm still
I guess I always will
Wanna keep travellin' all my life
Over another hill
Singin' hi le hi lo he-li-li-le-li-lo
I used to ba a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
Singin' hi le hi lo he-li-li-le-li-lo
I used to ba a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore

Close your eyes, my little darling
'cause it's time to drift away
To Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
Buy a candy-coated mountain, you have lots of time to play
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
You can take the Toy-Town Trolley and meet the jolly Times Express
No one there is melancholy, it's an isle of happiness
Don't you keep your dreamboat waiting, hope you have a pleasant stay
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
You can take the Toy-Town Trolley and meet the jolly Times Express
No one there is melancholy, it's an isle of happiness
Don't you keep your dreamboat waiting, hope you have a pleasant stay

The Ragpicker's Dream
The Ragpicker's Dream
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Mark Knopfler
When Jack Frost came for Christmas
With a brass monkey date
The rail-king and the scarecrow
Hopped a florlda freight
And they blew on their paper cups
And stared through the steam
Then they drank half a bottle
Of ragpicker's dream where
The whiskey keeps following
Cold pitchers of beer
Me and my associate
Like the clientele here get
The onions and the 'taters
Rib-eyes on the grill
Toothpicks and luckies
And a coffee refill as
The rail-king lay rocking
He was leaving the ground
Then he was flying like santa claus
Over the town where
He came to the window
Of a house by a stream
It was a family christmas
In the ragpicker's dream there
Were kids at the table
All aglow in the light
Music in the wintertime
Sure carries at night there
Was turkey and gravy
Pie and ice-cream
And gifts for each and everyone
In the ragpicker's dream where
The red-eye keeps tumbling
In our glasses of beer
Me and my associate
Like the service in here there's
A ten for your trouble
You have beautiful hair
Make the last one two doubles
It's a cold one out there where
The scarecrow and the rail-king
Have started to dance
But a nightstick and a billyclub
Won't give peace a chance here
I think they went thataways
Your song and dance team
Heading home for the holidays
With the ragpicker's dream on
His knees like a fighter
The rail-riding king
Like a sack of potatoes
Like a bull in the ring where
The scarecrow falls over
With a tear in the seam
Home for the rover
In the ragpicker's dream where
The red-eye keeps tumbling
Like tears in our beer
Me and my associate
Like the ambience here where
They cornered two castaways
In a white flashlight beam
Merry christmas and happy days
In the ragpicker's dream
