Le Gorille
Le Gorille
((Italian Version: Il Gorilla (by Fabrizio De André) - 1968))
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
First release by: Georges Brassens - 1952
Covered by multiple other artists
C'est à travers de larges grilles
Que les femelles du canton
Contemplaient un puissant gorille
Sans souci du qu'en-dira-t-on
Avec impudeur, ces commères
Lorgnaient même un endroit précis
Que, rigoureusement ma mère
M'a défendu de nommer ici...
Gare au gorille!...
Un jour la porte de la prison bien close
Où vivait le bel animal
S'ouvre, on n'sait pourquoi
Je suppose
Qu'on avait du la fermer mal
Le singe, en sortant de sa cage
Dit "C'est aujourd'hui que j'le perds!"
Il parlait de son pucelage
Vous aviez deviné, j'espère!
Gare au gorille!...
L'patron de la ménagerie
Criait, éperdu: "Nom de nom!
C'est assommant car le gorille
N'a jamais connu de guenon!"
Dès que la féminine engeance
Sut que le singe était puceau
Au lieu de profiter de la chance
Elle fit feu des deux fuseaux!
Gare au gorille!...
Celles là même qui, naguère
Le couvaient d'un œil décidé
Fuirent, prouvant qu'elles n'avaient guère
De la suite dans les idées
D'autant plus vaine était leur crainte
Que le gorille est un luron
Supérieur à l'homme dans l'étreinte
Bien des femmes vous le diront!
Gare au gorille!...
Tout le monde se précipite
Hors d'atteinte du singe en rut
Sauf une vielle décrépite
Et un jeune juge en bois brut
Voyant que toutes se dérobent
Le quadrumane accéléra
Son dandinement vers les robes
De la vieille et du magistrat!
Gare au gorille!...
"Bah ! soupirait la centenaire
Qu'on puisse encore me désirer
Ce serait extraordinaire
Et, pour tout dire, inespéré!"
Le juge pensait, impassible
"Qu'on me prenne pour une guenon
C'est complètement impossible..."
La suite lui prouva que non!
Gare au gorille!...
Supposez que l'un de vous puisse être
Comme le singe, obligé de
Violer un juge ou une ancêtre
Lequel choisirait-il des deux?
Qu'une alternative pareille
Un de ces quatres jours, m'échoie
C'est, j'en suis convaincu, la vieille
Qui sera l'objet de mon choix!
Gare au gorille!...
Mais, par malheur, si le gorille
Aux jeux de l'amour vaut son prix
On sait qu'en revanche il ne brille
Ni par le goût, ni par l'esprit
Lors, au lieu d'opter pour la vieille
Comme l'aurait fait n'importe qui
Il saisit le juge à l'oreille
Et l'entraîna dans un maquis!
Gare au gorille!...
La suite serait délectable
Malheureusement, je ne peux
Pas la dire, et c'est regrettable
Ça nous aurait fait rire un peu
Car le juge, au moment suprême
Criait: "Maman!", pleurait beaucoup
Comme l'homme auquel, le jour même
Il avait fait trancher le cou
Gare au gorille!...

Big Train (From Memphis)
Big Train (From Memphis)
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): John C. Fogerty;
The Lawmen; Jim Nunally; The Seldom Scene
When I was young, I spent my summer days playin’ on the track
The sound of the wheels rollin’ on the steel took me out, took me back
Chorus:
Big train from Memphis, big train from Memphis
Now it’s gone gone gone, gone gone gone
Like no one before, he let out a roar, and I just had to tag along
Each night I went to bed with the sound in my head, and the dream was a song
Chorus
Well I’ve rode ’em in and back out again - you know what they say about trains
But I’m tellin’ you when that Memphis train came through
This ol’ world was not the same
Chorus

Il Gorilla
Il Gorilla
((Adapted from: Le Gorille (by Georges Brassens) - 1952))
Composer(s): Georges Brassens - Fabrizio De André
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André - 1968
and multiple other artists
Sulla piazza di una città
la gente guardava con ammirazione
un gorilla portato là
dagli zingari d'un baraccone
con poco senso del pudore
le comari di quel rione
contemplavano l'animale
non dico come non dico dove
Attenti al gorilla
D'improvviso la grossa gabbia
dove viveva l'animale
s'aprì di schianto non so perchè
forse l'avevano chiusa male
la bestia uscendo fuori di là
disse: "quest'oggi me la levo"
parlava della verginità
di cui ancora viveva schiavo
Attenti al gorilla
Il padrone si mise a urlare
"il mio gorilla fate attenzione
non ha veduto mai una scimmia
potrebbe fare confusione"
tutti i presenti a questo punto
fuggirono in ogni direzione
anche le donne dimostrando
la differenza tra idee e azione
Attenti al gorilla
Tutta la gente corre di fretta
di qua e di là con grande foga
si attardano solo una vecchietta
e un giovane giudice con la toga
visto che gli altri avevan squagliato
il quadrumane accellerò
e sulla vecchia e sul magistrato
con quattro salti si portò
Attenti al gorilla
"Beh" sospirò pensando la vecchia
"che io fossi ancora desiderata
sarebbe cosa alquanto strana
e più che altro non sperata"
"che mi si prenda per una scimmia"
pensava il giudice col fiato corto
"non è possibile, questo è sicuro"
il seguito prova che aveva torto
Attenti al gorilla
Se qualcuno di voi dovesse
costretto con le spalle al muro
violare un giudice od una vecchia
della sua scelta sarei sicuro
ma si dà il caso che il gorilla
considerato un grandioso fusto
da chi la provato però non brilla
nè per lo spirito nè per il gusto
Attenti al gorilla
Infatti lui sdegnata la vecchia
si dirige sul magistrato
lo acchiappa forte per un'orecchia
e lo trascina in mezzo a un prato
quello che avvenne tra l'erba alta
non posso dirlo per intero
ma lo spettacolo fu avvincente
e la suspance ci fu davvero
Attenti al gorilla
Dirò soltanto che sul più bello
dello spiacevole e cupo dramma
piangeva il giudice come un vitello
negli intervalli gridava "mamma"
gridava "mamma" come quel tale
cui il giorno prima come ad un pollo
con una sentenza un po' originale
aveva fatto tagliare il collo
Attenti al gorilla

Big Town
Big Town
Composer(s): Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Performer(s): Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to paris
From the empire state
Taking pictures from the top
There’s alot of things
For you to do
There’s alot of dreams
That won’t come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight o’clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
There’s alot of things
For you to do
There’s alot of dreams
That won’t come true
There’s alot of things
For you to do
There’s alot of dreams
That won’t come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry

Le Gitan Et La Fille
Le Gitan Et La Fille
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Le gitan dit à la fille
"Qu'importe le prix de l'amour
Pour toi, j'irai finir mes jours
Derrière les grilles
J'irai piller les gens de la ville
Pour t'offrir une robe de satin
Tu n'diras plus que j'suis un vaurien
Un inutile...
Mes mains, tout à l'heure si fortes
Seront plus douces que le bois
De la guitare qui joue pour toi
Devant ta porte..."
Le gitan dit à la fille
"Qu'importe le prix de l'amour
Pour toi, j'irai finir mes jours
Derrière le grilles
J'irai tuer ceux qui te regardent
Quand le doux soleil du matin
Se glisse dans le creux de tes reins
Et s'y attarde...
Et là, je te dirai "Je t'aime"
Comme on dit le nom de Jésus
Je le crierai dans la rue
Comme un blasphème..."
Le gitan a dit à la fille
"Qu'importe le prix de l'amour
Pour toi, j'irai finir mes jours
Derrière les grilles
Autour de toi, je ferai l'ombre
Pour être le seul à te voir
Pour être seul sous ton regard
Et m'y confondre...
Et quand la mort viendra défaire
Les chaînes forgées par l'amour
Pour toi, j'irai finir mes jours
Au fond de la terre..."

Big Time For Love
Big Time For Love
Composer(s): R. Nowels; John Waite
Performer(s): John Waite
These days I feel I'm fightin'
Everything in sight
I'm fighting for my freedom
For my life
Some bigshot with the money
Puts my back against the wall
The red brick's waiting
For another bullet hole
There's a blitzkreig on the border
It's a sexual pleasure/pain
I'm staring down an empty glass
Til the violence starts again
It's the big time for love
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for your love
The queen is in the palace
But my sister's in the rain
Neon girls and gunshots
Tickin' through my brain
They give you some detection
Bread and circus in your bed
A calculated showdown
It's very graphic bloodshed
Better put your house in order
There's a fireball in the sky
Kiss the wife and kids so long
Kiss your ass goodbye
It's the big time for love
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for love
This time it is
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for your love
We feel overdue
Cause we know what it feels like
There's no more
No white flag
And communication too
It's the big time for love
It's the right time
It's the time for love
It's the big time for love
This time it is
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
Call a truce or forget it
Big time for love

Le Ghetto
Le Ghetto
Composer(s): Jacques Revaux
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Pour moi le monde est un ghetto
Une prison dès le berceau
Où les hommes comme des chiens
Se tuent pour des mots, pour du pain
L'enfer est sûrement plus beau
Que le ruisseau d'un ghetto
D'un ghetto
Du ghetto un jour je le sais
Du ghetto je m'évaderai
Et j'oublierai les barreaux
Du ghetto
Si mon visage n'est pas d'ici
Tout est privé ou interdit
Les barbelés sont le décors
De mes amours et de ma mort
L'enfer est sûrement plus beau
Que les buildings bien trop haut du ghetto
Du ghetto un jour je le sais
Du ghetto je m'évaderai
Et j'oublierai les barreaux
Du ghetto
Du ghetto moi je vous le dis
Du ghetto avec mes amis
Nous sauverons notre peau
Du ghetto

Success
I’m on my way, I’m making it
I’ve giot to make it show, yeah
So much larger than life
I’m going to watch it growing
The place where I come from is a small town
They think so small
They use small words
but not me
I’m smarter than that
I worked it out
I’ve been stretching my mouth
To let those big words come right out
I’ve had enough, I’m getting out
To the city, the big big city
I’ll be a big noise with all the big boys
There’s so much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god
As I kneel in the big church
Big time
I’m on my way-I’m making it
Big time big time
I’ve got to make it show yeah
Big time big time
So much larger than life
Big time
I’m going to watch it growing
Big time
My parties all have big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure^
And always they’re amazed
When I show them round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door
Big time
I’m on my way-I’m making it
Big time big time
I’ve got to make it show-yeah
Big time big time
So much larger than life
I’m going to watch it growing
Big time big time
My car is getting bigger

My house is getting bigger

My eyes are getting bigger
Big time
And my mouth
Big time
My belly is getting bigger
Big time
And my bank account
Big time
Look at my circumstance
Big time
And the bulge in my big big big big big big big

Le Général A Dit
Le Général A Dit
Composer(s): Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Le géniral a dit: "Fermier
Toi qui n'as pas de quoi manger
Prends ta machette, viens, suis moi"
Et je le suis depuis des mois
Chante l'ami plus fort que moi
Sois plus ivre si tu peux
Danse l'ami, ne pense pas
Cette nuit on est heureux
Viens me parler de ton pays
De ta femme et de ton champ
Chante l'ami, car tout s'oublie
En chantant
Le général a dit qu'il faut
Prendre la ville de Tampico
Quand viendra l'aube elle brûlera
Et j'ai mon père qui vit là-bas
Chante l'ami plus fort que moi
Sois plus ivre si tu peux
Danse l'ami, ne pense pas
Cette nuit on est heureux
Viens me parler de ton pays
De ta femme et de ton champ
Chante l'ami, car tout s'oublie
En chantant
Vous, mes parents, vous m'attendez
Dans la maison où je suis né
Mais je n'ai plus de ville natale
C'est ce que dit le général
Chante l'ami plus fort que moi
Sois plus ivre si tu peux
Danse l'ami, ne pense pas
Cette nuit on est heureux
Viens me parler de ton pays
De ta femme et de ton champ
Chante l'ami, car tout s'oublie
En chantant
Si j'ai tué, si j'ai volé
J'en ai encore le cœur serré
Tu me pardonneras le mal
C'est ce que dit le général
Chante l'ami plus fort que moi
Sois plus ivre si tu peux
Danse l'ami, ne pense pas
Cette nuit on est heureux
Viens me parler de ton pays
De ta femme et de ton champ
Chante l'ami, car tout s'oublie
En chantant
Le général nous a promis
De l'argent et du pain blanc
Et des troupeaux et l'eau des pluies
Et la terre aux paysans
Et dans les rues de Mexico
On nous fera un carnaval
Chante l'ami, danse l'ami
Et longue vie au général

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender
Good looking, so refined

I don't pop my cork for every man I see
Hey big spender!

How's about a few laughs, laughs?

Le Gaz
Composer(s): Gérard Jouannest - Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Tu habites rue de la Madone
Une maison qui se déhanche
Une maison qui se tire-bouchone
Et qui pleure à grosses planches
L'escalier colimaçone
C'est pas grand non
Mais y a d'la place
Tu habites rue de la Madone
Et moi je viens pour le gaz
Tu as un boudoir plein de boudhas
Les bougies dansent dans leurs bougeoirs
Ça sent bon c'est sans histoire
Ça ruiselle de tafetas
C'est rempli de photos d'toi
Qui sommeillent devant la glace
Tu as un boudoir plein d'boudhas
Et moi et moi et moi
Je viens pour le gaz
Tu as un vrai divan de roi
Un vrai divan de diva
Du porto qu'tu rapportas
De la Porte des Lilas
T'as un p'tit chien et un grand chat
Un phono qui joue du jazz
Tu as un vrai divan de roi
Et moi et moi et moi
Je viens pour le gaz
Tu as des seins comme des soleils
Comme des fruits comme des reposoirs
Tu as des seins comme des miroirs
Comme des fruits comme du miel
Tu les recouvres tout devient noir
Tu les découvres et je deviens Pégase
Tu as des seins comme des trottoirs
Et moi et moi et moi
Je viens pour le gaz
Et puis chez toi ya l'plombier
Et y l'bedeauet y a l'facteur
Le docteur qui fait le café
Le notaire qui sert les liqueurs
Ya la moitié d'un artilleur
Y a un poète de Carpentras
Il y a quelques flics oui
Et puis y a même ma sœur
Et tout ça est là pour le gaz
Allez allez-y donc tous rue de la Madone
C'est pas grand non
Mais y a d'la place
Allez allez-y donc tous rue de la Madone
Et dites bien que c'est pour le gaz

Big Socks
Big Socks
Composer(s): Chuckii Booker
Performer(s): Bette Midler
Mmmmmm, you talk about you and only you
and the things that you do for you
You say you're not a lean cuisine
So I wanna see whatcha got on the menu
Now, if you think you're the man the only man
with an exterior you feel is superior
just give Miss B a little peek
and see if you really can deliver
Your tendencies are short, my expectations are long
And as I see it now, there's not much to go on
It seems you dug a hole that you can't crawl out
Now I truly see what you're all about
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair
Don't brag about your body, baby
and say that you're packin' a lot
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks
Let's just say that there's something lackin'
A flea shouldn't have the nerve to be braggin'
So pack up your little gift and get to steppin'
Return it back and put it in the kiddie section
Full figured in a place that can deliver?
Ha ha, not from what I've seen
I can't trace what's below your waist
There's too much space to be inside those jeans
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair
Don't brag about your body, baby
and say that you're packin' a lot
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
It's time to wave the white flag
now that the kitten has been let out the bag
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair
Don't brag about your body, baby
and say that you're packin' a lot
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair
Don't brag about your body, baby
and say that you're packin' a lot
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks

Le Garçon Que J'aimais
Composer(s): André Popp - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Ann Christy
Le garçon que j'aimais
Ne reviendra plus jamais
Et ses lèvres jamais plus
n'auront les mots que j'ai connu
Le garçon que j'aimais
On aurait cru quand il parlait
Que du fond de sa jeunesse
Des siècles de tendresse
Vous arrivaient dessus
Le garçon que j'aimais
Avait l'air quand il marchait
En regardant devant lui
D'ouvrir les portes de la vie
Mais voilà je ne le verrai plus
Voilà je n'entendrai plus chanter son coeur
Car un jour on m'a volé
Le garçon que j'aimais
On l'a pris au mois de mai
Et sans qu'il n'aie rien compri
On lui a donné un fusil
Pas besoin de vous raconter
Je sais que vous comprendrez pourquoi je dis
Que je ne le reverrai jamais

Big Shot
Big Shot
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
You went uptown riding in your limousine
In your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me!
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you?!
You had to open up your mouth!
You had to be a big shot, didn't you?!
All your friends were so knocked out!
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about!
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night!
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained
But now you jsut can't remember
All the things you said
And you're not sure you want to know!
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show!
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you?!
You had to prove it to the crowd!
You had to be a big shot, didn't you?!
All your friends were so knocked out!
You had to have the last word, last night
You're so much fun to be around!
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night!
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
But you went over the line!
You couldn't see it was time to go home!
No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you?!
You had to open up your mouth!
You had to be a big shot, didn't you?!
All your friends were so knocked out!
You had to have the last word, last night!
So much fun to be around!
You had to have a white hot spotlight!
You had to be a big shot last night!

Je m'souviens, ma mèr' m'aimait
Et je suis aux galères
Je m'souviens ma mèr' disait
Mais je n'ai pas cru ma mère
Ne traîn' pas dans les ruisseaux
T'bats pas comme un sauvage
T'amuses pas comm' les oiseaux
Ell' me disait d'être sage
J'ai pas tué, j'ai pas volé
J'voulais courir la chance
J'ai pas tué, j'ai pas volé
J'voulais qu'chaqu' jour soit dimanche
Je m'souviens ma mèr' pleurait
Dès qu'je passais la porte
Je m'souviens comme ell'pleurait
Ell' voulait pas que je sorte
Toujours, toujours ell' disait
T'en vas pas chez les filles
Fais donc pas toujours c'qui t'plait
Dans les prisons y a des grilles
J'ai pas tué, j'ai pas volé
Mais j'ai cru Madeleine
J'ai pas tué, j'ai pas volé
J'voulais pas lui fair'de peine
Un jour les soldats du roi
T'emmen'ront aux galères
Tu t'en iras trois par trois
Comme ils ont emmn'nés ton père
Tu auras la têt' rasée
On te mettra des chaînes
T'en auras les reins brisés
Et moi j'en mourrai de peine
J'ai pas tué, j'ai pas volé
Mais j'ai pas cru ma mère
Et je m'souviens qu'ell' m'aimait
Pendant qu'je rame aux galères

Big Ship
Big Ship
Composer(s): Raymond Froggatt
Performer(s): Cliff Richard; Herman's Hermits
I do believe my eyes are telling me lies
I saw a ship ashore, a baked apple pie
Hiding in corners and climbing up trees
Love is a big ship, following me
Big ship, following me
Love is a big ship, following me
Some like it cool, some like it hot
You see me cool, like a fool, with all the loving I got
Passing the world and the world's passing me
Love is a big ship, following me
Big ship, following me
Love is a big ship, following me
Just like, just like a big ship, just like, just like a big ship
Just like, just like a big ship, following me, following me
Make me feel good, while you're shaking me down
Singers sing dooby-doo all over town
Dooby-dooby-doo-dah, singing dooby-doo-dee
Love is a big ship, following me
Make me feel good, while you're shaking me down
Singers are singing dooby-doo all over town
Dooby-dooby-doo-dah, singing dooby-doo-dee
Love is a big ship, following me
Big ship, following me
Love is a big ship, following me
Just like, just like a big ship, just like, just like a big ship
Just like, just like a big ship, following me, following me
Following me, following me

Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Now Freak!
I said Freak!
Now Freak!
All that pressure got you down
Has your head spinning all around
Feel the rhythm, check the ride
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of stopping at the Savoy
Now we freak, oh what a joy
Just come on down, two fifty four
Find a spot out on the floor
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!

Big Science
Big Science
Composer(s): Laurie Anderson
Performer(s): Laurie Anderson
Coo coo it's cold outside
Coo coo it's cold outside
Ooo coo coo
Don't forget your mittens
Hey Pal! How do I get to town from here?
And he said: Well just take a right where
they're going to build that new shopping mall
go straight past where they're going to put in the freeway
take a left at what's going to be the new sports center
and keep going until you hit the place where
they're thinking of building that drive-in bank
You can't miss it
And I said: This must be the place
Ooo coo coo
Golden cities
Golden towns
Golden cities
Golden towns
And long cars in long lines and great big signs
and they all say: Hallelujah
Yodellayheehoo
Every man for himself
Ooo coo coo
Golden cities
Golden towns
Thanks for the ride
Big Science
Hallelujah.. Yodellayheehoo
You know
I think we should put some mountains here
Otherwise, what are all the characters going to fall off of?
And what about stairs? Yodellayheehoo
Ooo coo coo
Here's a man who lives a life of danger
Everywhere he goes he stays - a stranger
Howdy stranger
Mind if I smoke? And he said
Every man, every man for himself
Every man, every man for himself
All in favor say aye
Big Science
Hallelujah.. Yodellayheehoo
Hey Professor! Could you turn out the lights?
Let's roll the film
Big Science
Hallelujah
Every man, every man for himself
Big Science
Hallelujah
Yodellayheehoo
