Don't Kill It Carol


Don't Kill It Carol Composer(s): Mike Heron First release by: Mike Heron - 1977



This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen
One bud only just started to show
And the leaves are the lightest green
It's had it's share of the rain
It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again
But one cruel lie and it could die

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol

This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It could grow to be so strong
Born one night in the calm of the storm
It was made for a rock and roll song
It's only just seen the light
It could so easily fall back to the gentle night
But one cruel lie and it could die

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol

It's looking for a place to live outside all space and time
Where there's no need for it to fade
There's a secret garden that I think we can find
Lot's of sunshine there's a touch of shade

(Don't kill it Carol)

This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen
One bud only just started to show
And the leaves are the lightest green
It's had it's share of the rain
It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again
But one cruel lie and it could die

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol

(repeat)

Ave Coração


Ave Coração
Composer(s): Aldo Clodo
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Eu sei que existe por aí
Uma andorinha solta
Procurando um verão que se perdeu no tempo
Cansou de ser herói do espaço
E quer a companhia de outros pássaros
É que o seu coração de ave
Não agüenta tanta solidão
Eu sei que eu ando por aí
Sou andorinha solta
E nem sei a estação em que estou vivendo
Não quero ser herói de nada
Só quero a companhia de outros braços
É que meu coração de homem
Voa alto como um pássaro

Don't Keep Me Wonderin'


Don't Keep Me Wonderin'
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
Composer(s): The Allman Brothers Band; Keri Leigh; Buddy Miles



Oh, tell me 'bout the car I saw
parked outside your door
tell me what you left me waiting
two or three hours for
Tell me why when the phone rings baby
you're up and across the floor
please don't keep me wonderin' no longer
I think about the bad times
Lord I think about yours and mine
you were lost in the silver spoon
thought I pulled you out in time
And I hope that you got reasons
for the way that you've been lyin'
please don't keep me wonderin' no longer
I think I'm gonna go now
but you know that I'll be back
Now you can think it over Baby
tell me how you're gonna act
I'm gonna keep on holding on
but I don't get no stronger
please don't keep me wonderin' no longer

Don't Just Stand There


Don't Just Stand There
Composer(s): Lor Crane - Bernice Ross
Performer(s): Patty Duke



Please don't just stand there
Come and kiss me like before
Please don't just stand there
Looking down at the floor
If something is wrong
Give me just one little sign
Is there someone else
Please tell me
Tell me what what what what's on your mind
Once when we'd meet
You'd run to hold me tight
Life was so sweet
Until tonight
Please don't just stand there
Get it over if we're through
Please don't just stand there
While my heart breaks in two
Don't be unfair
How can you be so unkind
Please stop hurting me
And help me
Tell me what what what what's on your mind
Note:Rhythm changes here
If it's a game
We don't want to play it
And if it's goodbye
Why can't you just say it
Why make me cry like you do
How can you be so unkind
Please start loving me
Or leave me
Tell me what what what what's on your mind

Don't just stand there

(Now Patty singing "Tell me what what what what's on your mind"
alternates with the chorus singing "Don't just stand there" over
and over as the song fades away)

Avant Nous


Avant Nous
Composer(s): René Rouzaud - Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Un printemps meurt, en vient un autre
Et tout change, et tout est pareil
Le bonheur n'est pas le nôtre
Pas plus que le soleil
Écoute, écoute dans le monde
Cet orchestre de cœurs battants
De partout ils se répondent
Depuis combien de temps?

Avant nous
D'autres amants ont dit: "Je t'aime"
Comme nous...
Avant nous
D'autres ont souffert, ont trahi même
Comme...
Non! Ne crois pas ça! Ne crois pas ça!
L'amour n'est pas cette misère
L'amour, c'est toi entre mes bras...
Avant nous
D'autres ont dansé sur des "Je t'aime"
Comme nous...
Avant nous
D'autres se sont quittés quand même
Comme...
Non! Pas comme nous... Ne crois pas ça!
On a dansé sur toute la terre
Et l'on dansera sur ces mots-là

Aimons-nous
Comme ceux-là qui tant s'aimèrent
Comme nous
Et comme ceux qui nous suivront
Et comme ceux qui s'aimeront...
Après nous...

Don't Jump Off The Roof, Dad


Don't Jump Off The Roof, Dad Performer(s): Homer & Jethro



Daddy came home from work tired
His boss had been driving him mad
The kids were all shouting, the dog bit him too
His dinner was nothing but boiled over stew

I guess it was then he decided
Up to the rooftop he'd go
He was about to jump off when
The kids started howling below

'Don't jump off the roof, Dad
You'll make a hole in the yard
Mother's just planted petunias
The weeding and seeding was hard

If you must end it all, Dad
Won't you please give us a break
Just take a walk down the park, Dad
And there you can jump in the lake

Avant L'heure


Avant L'heure
Composer(s): Marcel Achard - Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure
Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure
Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard
Il avait déjà vu Germaine
Il m'a aimée pendant cinq semaines
Je me foutais du tiers comme du quart
Et puis un jour, il a compris
Il m'a menti encore trois semaines
Puis il est allé vers Germaine
Ah mes enfants! Qu'est-ce que j'ai pris!...
J' lui en veux pas...
Que faire à ça?
Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure
Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure
Quand on dit "moins l' quart", c'est moins le quart!
Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard!

Pierre aime la femme de Jean
Jean aime la femme de Pierre
La femme de Pierre aime un sergent
La femme de Jean aime un notaire
Qu'est-ce qu'ils espèrent
Ces pauvres gens?
Si la femme de Pierre avait vu le sergent
Avant de rencontrer Pierre...
Si la femme de Jean avait vu le notaire
Avant de rencontrer Jean...
Ce serait une toute autre affaire!
'y aurait du bonheur à Nogent
Au lieu qu'on y pleure...

L'heure, c'est l'heure...

Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure
Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure
Quand on dit "moins l' quart", c'est moins l' quart!
Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard!

...trop tard!...

Don't It Make You Want To Go Home


Don't It Make You Want To Go Home Composer(s): Joe South First release by: Joe South and the Believers - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it's been a long, long time but I'm glad that I'm
Goin' back to my home town

Goin' down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
And if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise
By tomorrow, ah, I'm gonna be there

Don't it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you want to go home?

There's a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny-dippin' as a child
And a drive-in show where the meadows used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild

There's a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days

(Don't it make you wanna go home?)
(Don't it make you wanna go home?)
All God's children get weary when they roam
(Don't it make you) wanna, wanna go home?

"It's different, it's different, it's different, so different now"
"Don't it make you wanna go home?"
"But all God's children get weary when they roam, and don't it make you wanna go home?"

"Don't it make you wanna to go home don't it make you wanna go home
And now-ah, don't it make you wanna go home, don't it make you wanna go home?"
All of God's children get weary when they roam
(Don't it make you)
"And" (want to go home?)
I'm goin' home

Don't it make you want to go home?

Avant La Guerre


Avant La Guerre
((English & German Versions: To Be A Soldier (by Charles Aznavour); Vor Dem Winter (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



J'avais vingt ans une âme tendre
Toi seize tout à apprendre
Quand je t'écrivais des poèmes
Où tout rimait avec je t'aime
Tu étais encore écolière
C'était un peu avant la guerre

À l'orée de l'adolescence
Le désir bouscule l'enfance
Dans l'herbe d'un printemps précoce
On s'est uni en simples noces
Notre témoin fut Dieu le père
C'était un peu avant la guerre

Mais au vent des amours fautives
Ce qui doit arriver arrive
Ta taille prit de l'importance
On nous maria de toute urgence
Mais un jour les choses changèrent
C'était un peu avant la guerre

Un uniforme sans retouche
Un fusil et quatre cartouches
Les champs brûlés de la retraite
Les barbelés de la défaite
Quelque part en terre étrangère
Je nous revois avant la guerre

Où sont les seize ans de ta vie
Et les printemps de nos folies
Quand pour nous s'ouvraient sur la chance
Les portes d'or de l'insouciance
Et que tout brillait de lumière
Avant la nuit, avant la guerre
Avant la guerre

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue


Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue Composer(s): Richard Leigh First release by: Crystal Gayle - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I didn't mean to treat you bad
I didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me some secrets, tell me some lies
Give me reasons, give me alibis
Say that you love me and don't make me cry
Say anything, but don't say goodbye

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry the whole night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue
I said
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes don't it make my brown eyes blue

To Be A Soldier


To Be A Soldier
((French & German Versions: Avant La Guerre (by Charles Aznavour); (by Vor Dem Winter (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



She was a girl of sixteen summers
And I was scarcely any older
To see her once was but to love her
To love and cherish, and discover
My every thought was only of her
Before I went to be a soldier

T'was a time of young confusion
When blood runs hot and boys grow bolder
And all that summer long I chased her
Until she turned, until I faced her
On days of parties I embraced her
Before I went to be a soldier

There was a baby born in springtime
I wasn't there to see or hold her
The bugles called and I was sent for
To play the game that blood is spent for
The ancient game that youth is meant for
To be a man, to be a soldier

On foreign fields I've seen the slaughter
Of hot young boys who now grow colder
Where still in a fire burning blindly
Where only poppies still remind me
Of shining summer days behind me
Before I went to be a soldier

When I close my eyes and see my lover
A child asleep against her shoulder
A child of love whose life we started
When hope was new and open-hearted
A time that even more departed
The day I went to be a soldier

Be a soldier

Be a soldier

A soldier

Don't Interrupt The Sorrow


Don't Interrupt The Sorrow Composer(s): Joni Mitchell First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1975



Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
In flames our prophet witches
Be polite
A room full of glasses
He says "You're notches
liberation doll"
And he chains me with that serpent
To that Ethiopian wall

Anima rising
Queen of Queens
Wash my guilt of Eden
Wash and balance me
Anima rising
Uprising in me tonight
She's a vengeful little goddess
With an ancient crown to fight

Truth goes up in vapors

The steeples lean
Winds of change
patriarchs
Snug in your bible belt dreams
God goes up the chimney

Like childhood Santa Claus
The good slaves love the good book
A rebel loves a cause

I'm leaving on the 1:15

You're darn right
Since I was seventeen
I've had no one over me

He says "Anima rising
So what
Petrified wood process
Tall timber down to rock"

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
He says "We walked on the moon
You be polite"
Don't let up the sorrow

Death and birth and death and birth
He says "Bring that bottle kindly
And I'll pad your purse

I've got a head full of quandary
And a mighty mighty thirst"

Seventeen glasses
Rhine wine
Milk of the Madonna
Clandestine
He don't let up the sorrow
He lies and he cheats
It takes a heart like
Mary's these days
When your man gets weak

Avant La Bagarre


Avant La Bagarre
Composer(s): Guy Magenta
Performer(s): France Gall



Pour bien fêter mes 20 ans
Tu as voulu venir ici
Là où je venais souvent
Avec mes amis

Je te dis fais attention
Si nous allons dans cet endroit
Je reverrai ce garçon
Mon flirt d'autrefois

Avant la bagarre
Je te préviens
Avant la bagarre
Réfléchis bien
Car il est bien plus grand que toi
Reste assis non non n'y va pas, n'y va pas

Ne fais pas ces yeux méchants
Non car tu ne lui fais pas peur
C'est toi le seul maintenant
Que j'ai dans mon cœur

Avant la bagarre
Je te préviens
Avant la bagarre
Réfléchit bien
Car il est bien plus grand que toi
Reste assis non non n'y va pas, n'y va pas

Je n'aime pas ton regard
Je sens bien que ça va chauffer
Maintenant il est trop tard
Pour vous séparer

Oh voici la bagarre
Que tu cherchais
Pendant la bagarre
Moi je m'en vais

Que le vainqueur de ce combat
Téléphone demain chez moi
Que le vainqueur de ce combat
Téléphone demain chez moi

Don't Hang Up


Don't Hang Up ((French Version: Ne Raccroche Pas (Sheila) - 1963)) Composer(s): Dave Appell - Barry Mann First release by: The Orlons - 1962 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't hang up (No No)
Oh don't you do it now, don't hang up (No No)
Don't hang up like you always do
I know you think our love is true
I'll explain the facts to you, don't hang up

Give me a chance or our romance is through
Don't hang up
Oh don't you do it now, don't hang up

I took a walk with Mary Lou
I ran around to visit Sue
She had some boys I never knew
Don't hang up
They took a ride so baby I went too

Stopped at the record hop I had to be a sport
We jumped and we did the slop
Then you walked in....and I was caught
Don't hang up
Oh don't you do it now
Don't hang up

A- you got some explain'in too
A like that chick I saw with you
So talk fast like you always do
Don't hang up, you've got one chance
or our romance is through

Then you walked in and you were caught
Don't hang up
Oh don't you do it now don't hang up

I didn't say our love was through
But if we made a fool for two
'Cause making up is fun to do
Don't hang up

'Cause no one else will ever do but you
Don't hang up
Oh don't you do it now
Or you'll be sorry baby
You know I love you baby

Avant De T'en Aller


Avant De T'en Aller
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy - Paul Anka
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Avant de t'en aller
Tu devrais mieux penser
À ce que tu fais
Avant qu'il soit trop tard
Es-tu sûr de savoir
Tout ce que tu fais

Elle peut être bien plus jolie que moi
Et autre chose encore que cela
Mais je crois que jamais elle ne pourra
T'aimer autant que moi, c'est pourquoi

Avant de t'en aller
As-tu réalisé
Tout ce que tu fais
Une dernière fois
Pense à toi, pense à moi
À ce que tu fais
Ce que tu fais, ce que tu fais
Pense à ce que tu fais,
Ce que tu fais, ce que tu fais...

Avant De Te Connaître


Avant De Te Connaître
Composer(s): Bob Ardey - Mya Simille
Performer(s): Dalida



Avant de te connaître
Je tombais amoureuse
Avant de te connaître
Ses bras étaient sa douce chaîne
Et son regard me captivait
Et mon corps attaché au sien
Etait l'esclave de ses mains

Avant de te connaître
Je tombais amoureuse
Avant de te connaître
J'étais enchaînée par ses bras
Prise, captive auprès de lui
J'étais asservie à sa loi
Toujours soumise à mon désir
Notre amour était ma prison
Avant de te connaître, avant de te connaître

Mais le jour est venu
Le jour où le destin
A uni nos chemins

Par toi je m'élève amoureuse
Je grandis amoureuse, je suis libre amoureuse
Tu m'as délivré par l'amour
L'amour qui donne au lieu de prendre
Tes bras sans mon appui, ton regard ma lumière
Et mon corps, par ta grâce
Devient auprès de toi transparent à la vie
Par toi je grandis amoureuse
Par toi je m'élève amoureuse
Mon bonheur se réouvre au monde
Et je découvre un autre amour

Immense, infini, éternel
Plus grand que toi et moi
Et qui m'emmène à Dieu

Don't Go To Strangers


Don't Go To Strangers Composer(s): Redd Evans - Arthur Kent - Dave Mann First release by: The Orioles - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists



Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone to love
Don't go to strangers, darling, come to me

Play with fire till your fingers burn
And when there's no place for you to turn
Don't go to strangers, darling, come to me

For, when you hear a call to follow your heart
You'll follow your heart I know
I've been through it all, for I'm an old hand
And I'll understand if you go

So...
Make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, darling, come to me

Avant De T'aimer


Avant De T'aimer
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Avant de t'aimer je croyais que les femmes étaient des églises
Comme aux quatre coins de Venise et qu'on pouvait les visiter
Avant de t'aimer je disais qu'elles n'étaient que gourmandise
Comme le sont les friandises et qu'on pouvait les partager

Avant de t'aimer je croyais que les femmes étaient des chapelles
Enfermées dans les citadelles offertes au voeu de chasteté
Avant de t'aimer je pensais que les femmes étaient sans cervelle
Qu'elles n'étaient que des modèles pour un pinceau pour un maillet

Avant de t'aimer je croyais que les femmes étaient des paroisses
Appartenant au garde-chasse qui piège et bague son gibier
Avant de t'aimer je doutais des femmes et de ce qu'elles apportent
Quand elles referment la porte sans un regard sans un regret

Mais aujourd'hui femmes je sais que vous êtes des cathédrales
Femmes fourmis femmes cigales femmes faites pour être aimer
Femme espérance soit louée toi que j'imaginais naïve
Tu m'as sauvé de la dérive des larmes où mon coeur se noyait

Avant de t'aimer je croyais que les femmes étaient des églises
Comme aux quatre coins de Venise et qu'on pouvait les visiter
Mais c'était avant de t'aimer c'était bien avant de t'aimer

Don't Go Out Into The Rain (You're Gonna Melt)


Don't Go Out Into The Rain (You're Gonna Melt) Composer(s): Kenny Young Performer(s): Herman's Hermits; David Garrick; The Swinging Blue Jeans



Don't go out in the rain you're gonna melt, sugar
Oh no come and sit down near the fire for a spell, sugar
Oh woe please take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable
The weather's miserable and you're so kissable
(It's getting late) why don't you wait
(It's after one) we've just begun
Please take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable
The weather's miserable and you're so kissable

The house is ours now that everybody's gone
And while the telly's on we could be having fun
It's getting late, why don't you wait
(It's after one) we've just begun
(I've gotta go) no, no, no, no
Don't be insane, don't go, please don't go
Don't go
It's getting late, why don't you wait
(It's after one) we've just begun
(I've gotta go) no, no, no, no
Please don't wait
