Reviens Vite Et Oublie
Reviens Vite Et Oublie
((Adapted from: Be My Baby (by The Ronettes) - 1963))
((Italian Version: Baby (by Peppino Di Capri) - 1963))
Composer(s): Jeff Barry - Ellie Greenwich - Phil Spector - Georges Aber
Performer(s): Les Surfs - 1963
On a eu tort de vouloir nous séparer
On a eu tort aujourd'hui je peux bien l'avouer
Tout comme un enfant perdu
Je vais seul au long des rues
N'ayant que le regret d'avoir tout gâché
Oh je t'en prie
Reviens vite: Tu sais que je t'aime
Reviens vite: Dans la nuit je traîne
Reviens vite: Mon âme est en peine
Reviens vite: oh oh oh oh
Tous tes amis t'ont donné bien sûr raison
Et tes parents t'ont aidée, les gens sont trop bons
Mes parents et mes amis m'ont tous dit bravo aussi
Mais aujourd'hui je sais que c'est insensé
Oh je t'en prie
Reviens vite: Tu sais que je t'aime
Reviens vite: Dans la nuit je traîne
Reviens vite: Mon âme est en peine
Reviens vite: oh oh oh oh
Oh je t'en prie
Reviens vite: Tu sais que je t'aime
Reviens vite: Dans la nuit je traîne
Reviens vite: Mon âme est en peine
Reviens vite: oh oh oh oh

Broken Places
Broken Places
Composer(s): Maggie Roche
Performer(s): The Roches
Did you know me
Long ago
Were we close
Before the sorrow
If you thought of leaving any traces
I'll be sifting through the broken places
Did I know you
Once upon a time
You dreamed of me
And now I'm
Searching for myself in strangers' faces
Stumbling onto further broken places
She turns purple
Am I blue
Can't she fathom
What I do
Trying to get in her better graces
Touching her in all the broken places
I get crazy
Not sure why
Solace beckons
Until I
Go tearing off again on wild chases
Crashing into same old broken places
I am young so
Who's to say
But for now I
Have no way
Of knowing how much healing time erases
Certain of these secret broken places
Can't there be a
Little breather?
Our love is a
Real seether
To sore hearts we plead our hapless cases
Rendezvousing at the broken places
I love you for
All of this
Struggling towards
Happiness
When the chips are down we play our aces
Hiding them in our broken places

Let's Sit This One Out (Vic Damone)
Let's Sit This One Out
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Vic Damone
When I asked you to go dancing, I confess
That I was thinking of dancing, more or less
But right now your eyes are filled with stars and glist'ning
And they're playing a song especially nice for list'ning
What I mean is
Let's sit this one out, please, Baby
In some dark corner of the hall
I just want to hear the band for a while
And hold your hand for a while
And then perhaps, we'll dance again
If you love me
Let's just wander off and maybe
They may not miss us, Dear, at all
It's the best part of romancing
And more fun than just dancing
You'll agree if you'll sit this one out with me
Sit this one out with me

Br-oooo-ken hearted me-eee-lo-dy
Ooooonce you were our song of love
Nooooow you just keep taunting me
Wiiiiith the memory of (ba-da-da))
His tender love
Oh
Broken hearted melody
Must you keep reminding me
Of the lips I long to kiss
And the love I miss since he went away
Night and day they play
But, broken hearted melody
That he used to sing to me
When our love was young and bright
As he held me tight
Suddenly I found: I was out of bound
Brooooken hearted melody
Ooooonce you were my song of love
Nooooow you just keep taunting me
Wiiiiiith the memory of (ba-da-da)
His tender love
Oh
Broken hearted melody
Won't you bring him back to me
Sing to him until he hears
For when he returns no more will he be
A broken hearted melody
Oooooooo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, ooooooooo
Oooooooo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, ooooooooo. . .

Let's Sit This One Out (Eve Becke & Harry Bentley)
Let’s Sit This One Out
Composer(s): Jimmy McHugh - Dorothy Fields
Performer(s): Eve Becke & Harry Bentley; Charlie Kunz
Eve:
I rather like this tune, don’t you Harry
Harry:
I don’t mind it a lot
I say, Eve, your dancing is improving lately
Eve:
Oh, do you really think so, Harry
Harry:
Well, you’re dancing on your own feet now
Eve:
Thank you!
What a lot of people here tonight
Harry:
Yes, there are, rather; I was just going to say
Eve:
I hate crowds, don’t you?
Harry:
Mmm, I don’t like them a lot
Eve:
Too many people in them, Hmm?
Harry:
Yes, quite (heh!)
Do you think we ought to sit out?
Eve:
I think I’d like to
There’re two chairs over there
They look frightfully lonely
Harry:
Shall we join them?
Eve:
OK, I’d love to
Harry:
Great
Harry:
That’s better
Ooh
Rather hard, would you like a cushion?
Eve:
No thank you, Harry
Harry:
Or perhaps put my arm in the way
Eve:
I rather like it
Harry:
D’you know, I do too
Hmm, just a little bit closer
That’s better
Harry:
Let’s sit this one out, my sweet
Get a breath of air, and rest your feet
My old car has a big back seat
So let’s sit this one out
Eve:
I’m so happy now we’ve met
Can’t we have a cosy cigarette
Our last dance got me all upset
So let’s sit this one out
Harry:
I know in the moonlight
Our love cannot miss
Give me a kiss
One little kiss
Eve:
I’m in such a whirl, my dear
Can’t we find a place with no one near
Harry:
Where you’ll say what I long to hear
Both:
So let’s sit this one out

Il Faut Croire Aux Étoiles
Il Faut Croire Aux Étoiles
((Adapted from: Let's Go To San Francisco (by The Flower Pot Men) - 1967))
((Italian Version: Inno (by I Dik Dik) - 1967))
Composer(s): John Carter - Kenneth Alan Hawker - Franck Gérald
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1967
Il faut croire aux étoiles
Qui te disent, ne tremble pas
La vie n'est qu'une escale
Tous les hommes sont comme toi
Quand les feuilles mortes
Tombent sur ton cœur
Pour laisser la porte
S'ouvrir au bonheur
Il faut croire aux étoiles
Tes angoisses et tes tourments
Ne sont qu'un grain de sable
Qu'une larme dans l'océan
Moi dans le silence
D'une belle nuit
J'ai repris confiance
J'ai trouvé l'oubli
Il faut croire aux étoiles
Jusqu'à l'aube du dernier jour
Il faut croire aux étoiles
À la chance et à l'amour

Broken Hearted Me
Broken Hearted Me
Composer(s): Randy Goodrum
Performer(s): Anne Murray;
England Dan & John Ford Coley; Mantovani
Every now and then I cry
Every night you keep stayin' on my mind
All my friends say I'll survive
It just takes time
Chorus
But I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can if it's broken all apart
A million miracles could never stop the pain
Or put all the pieces together again
No I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can while we are still apart
And when you hear this song
I hope that you will see
That time won't heal a broken-hearted me
Every day is just the same
Playin' games, different lovers, different names
They keep sayin' I'll survive
It just takes time
Chorus
Time won't heal a broken-hearted me

Let's Sing A Love Song
Let's Sing A Love Song
Composer(s): Lobo
Performer(s): Petula Clark
I know I'm a woman
With a life of my own
I packed up and left you
I call another place home
Ah, but sometimes being grown
Is a hard thing to do
That's the time
I start thinking of you
So, let's sing a love song
Like we used to do
Just sing a love song
To see me through
We can sit in the backyard
On our old wide swing
I know I'll feel better
The moment I start to sing
That's the time
My worries leave me for a while
That's the time
Once again I'm that child
So, let's sing a love song
Like we used to do
Just need a love song
To see me through
But a lot of things change
As we grow old
Ah some things we buy
And others are sold
Ah, but one thing won't change
No matter what we do
That's the way I feel
When I'm with you
So, let's sing a love song
Like we used to do
Just need a love song
To see me through
Let's sing a love song
To see me through

Let's Go Steady For The Summer
Composer(s): Dick Glasser
Performer(s): The Three G's
Let's go steady for the Summer
Let's go steady for the Summer
Let me take you by the hand
We'll go strolling in the moonlight in a lovers wonderland
Let's go steady for the Summer
School is over we are free
No more homework in the evening
Nothing left but you and me
We'll share our love together in these days so few
Our love may last forever if you love me as I love you
Let's go steady for the Summer
School is over we are free
No more homework in the evening
Nothing left but you and me
Let's go steady for the summer

Broken Head
Broken Head
Composer(s): Brian Eno; Dieter Moebius; Hans-Joachim Roedelius
Performer(s): Brian Eno; Roger Miller
I was just a broken head
I stole the world that others punctured
Now I stumble through the garbage
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
Beak and claw, remorse, remindless
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
Back and forth and back to nothing
Keep them tidy, keep them humble
Chop and change to cut the corner
Sharp as razors, shiny razors
Stranded on a world that's dying
Never moving, hardly trying
I was just a broken head
I stole the world that others plundered
Now I stumble through the garbage
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble

Let's Settle Down
Let's Settle Down
Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Lee Adams
Can't shake that dream of you and me
in some little town
If you'd shape up
We'd settle down
Leave the mess and the stress
Of big city livin'
Trade that grabbing and shoving
For loving and giving
I'm tired of your talking
I want it now
That house and yard
with only birds bringing songs around
Don't be afraid to settle down
That green stuff's grass
and that smell everywhere
Know what that is?
Fresh air
The years are going by so fast
Hey, it's time we found some peace of mind
Our peace of ground, let's settle down

Let's Go Steady Again

Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; Alan Lorber
Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again
Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again
Let's go steady again like we did before
Let's go steady again and be lovers once more
Wear the ring around your neck like you used to do
Don't you know it's wrong to break up
C'mon baby let's kiss and make up
Let's go steady again, like in the past
Let's show all of our friends that our love can last
I don't care of who was wrong
Come back here where you belong
C'mon baby let's go steady again
Monday...we said goodbye
Tuesday..all we did was cry
Wednesday.I almost lost my mind
Thursday...I was feelin blue
Friday..was the same way too
Never had a day, sad as Saturday
Even Sunday was no fun day
Let's go steady again like we used to do
Say you're ready and then we can start anew
Seven days we didn't speak it's been a long and lonely week
C'mon baby, let's go steady again
Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again
Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again
FADE: Dum dum dum rat oh too, let's go steady again

Could have come through anytime
Cold lonely, puritan

It's not my security
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian

Lose your father, your husband
Your mother, your children

First recording by: Robert McCoy - 1964

When your baby won't let you in
Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin
Just call your buddy on the telephone

Let's go get stoned
When you work so hard all the day long
And everything you do seems to go wrong
Just drop by my place on your way home
Let's go get stoned
It ain't no harm
You're taking just a taste
But don't blow your cool and start messing up the place
It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip
But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned

Broken Dreams, Hard Road
Broken Dreams, Hard Road
Composer(s): John Lodge
Performer(s): John Lodge
I looked everywhere
Thought that I would find you
Thro' the night
Shadows dancing in the moonlight
Broken dreams
Hard Road
Wish I could write of the love
I have known
In my lifetime
Wish I could find just one word
One small line
When I'm down
The world has gone and changed
Its face
The world has gone and changed
Its place
While we were dreaming
For the Human Race
I know I've
Been down this road many times
Many ways
In my lifetime
And
Somehow the path that you've
Walked
In your life
Has led to me
Your love has gone and changed
My world
Your love has changed the world I
See
While I was waiting
You came to me
I looked everywhere
Knew that I would find you
Thro' the night
Shadows dancing in the moonlight
Broken dreams
Hard road
Hard, hard road
Hard road
Hard, hard road
(Repeat)
