Comme Un Roc
Comme Un Roc
((Adapted from: Like A Rock (by Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band) - 1986))
Composer(s): Bob Seger - Philippe Labro
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1996
J'étais jeune
J'avais pas 20 ans
J'étais increvable
J'avais tout mon temps
J'avais toute ma force
On ne pouvait pas me bouger
Comme un roc
J'avais 20 ans
Les choses étaient claires
J'ai trouvé une femme
Une femme que j'aimais
Y avait pas de mystère
Un amour très fort
Comme roc
Les deux mains valides
Tranquilles et solides
J'avais tout construit
Dans ma vie
Y avait toi et moi
Je me tenais tout droit
Comme un roc
Comme un roc
J'avais confiance en la vie
Comme un roc
Il pouvait rien m'arriver
Comme un roc
C'était parti pour durer
Comme un roc
Et je criais mon espoir de réussir
Ne pas mentir ni tromper ni blesser
J'étais fier j'étais fort
Je défiais la mort
Comme un roc
Oh, je croyais à tous mes rêves
Comme un roc
J'avais 20 ans
Les choses étaient claires
J'ai trouvé une femme
Une femme que j'aimais
Y avait pas de mystère
Un amour très fort
Comme un roc
Comme un roc
J'avais confiance en la vie
Comme un roc
Il pouvait rien m'arriver
Comme un roc
C'était parti pour durer
Comme un roc
Comme un roc
Je criais mon espoir
Comme un roc
Je défiais la mort
Oh, comme un roc
Je croyais à tous mes rêves
Comme un roc
Comme un roc
J'avais confiance en la vie
Comme un roc
Il pouvait rien m'arriver
Comme un roc
C'était parti pour durer
Comme un roc
Comme un roc...

Butterscotch Candy And Strawberry Pie
Butterscotch Candy And Strawberry Pie
Composer(s): Roberts
Performer(s): Jack Lewis & The Americans
Butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Gonna love my baby till the day that I die
'Cause of butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Well I met my baby in a goodies shop
Sellin' butterscotch candy and soda pop and strawberry pie
Now I said, pretty baby I love your eyes
But in the back of my mind were those strawberry pies
So I said, pretty baby won't you please be mine
Butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Gonna love my baby till the day that I die
'Cause of butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Now she said yes and we were wed
In a butterscotch church on a strawberry bed
In the middle of May on the sunniest day of all
Now I'll eat my fill of strawberry pie
And butterscotch candy till the day that I die
My baby and I gonna have ourselves a ball

Like A Prayer
Like A Prayer
Composer(s): Madonna - Patrick Leonard
First release by: Madonna - 1989
Covered by multiple other artists
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

Mary Travers; Peter Yarrow
Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal
come bibble in the boo shy Lorey
Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill
who could blame me, cry my fill
Every tear would turn a mill
Johnny's gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal
come bibble in the boo shy Lorey
I sold my flax, I sold my wheel
to buy my love a sword of steel
So it in battle he might wield
Johnny's gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal
come bibble in the boo shy Lorey
Oh my baby, oh, my love
gone the rainbow, gone the dove
Your father was my only love
Johnny's gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal
come bibble in the boo shy Lorey

Like a lover the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and drowsy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you
(I might be like the morning sun to you)
Like a lover the river wind, sighs and ripples
Its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers
And I've never known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you
(I might be like the river wind to you)
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream I might be like a velvet moon to you

Oh, how I dream I might be like a river wind to you

Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream I might be like a velvet moon to you

I might be like a velvet moon to you

Buttermilk Boy
Buttermilk Boy
Composer(s): Steve Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie
Yeah, she pays no mind to methods you employ
She wants a big city man, not a country boy
Go get your long hair cut
Scrape the mud off your boots
Eh, wash the hell behind those ears
Buy yourself some tailored suits
Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knickers down
She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
Makes no difference how you strive
She couldn't care if you were dead or alive
A burly, beefy, strong arm man
Is all she cares to meet
Before you ever heard the word guitar
Yes, your mother used to see her as a star
Yes, she spent her teens?
In chauffered limosines
And I heard tell you can't get insured
For a clapped out '45 drop head Ford
Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knick, knick, knick, knickers down
She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
She'll tear you down like a steer comin' through
Like I said she ain't no use to you
A lumpy hairy mundane brain
Is all she cares to make
So let me put you straight, yeah
Marry farm-yard Kate
Yep, she weighs two hundred pounds its said
Oh, she'll keep you warm in bed
Oh, Buttermilk Boy, you better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knick, I say, knickers down
Well, a musclely man all gristle and bone
So you like to think you know where its about
But she'll suck you in and then she'll blow you out
Yeah, Kate will keep you satisfied
Until your dying day
Yeah, let me hear some of that strong-arm music

Like A Hurricane (Neil Young)
Like A Hurricane
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded, hazy bar
dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moon beams
I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream
and you could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
that perfect feeling when time just slips away
between us and our foggy trips
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away
You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream
and you could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
that perfect feeling when time just slips away
between us and our foggy trips
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away

Butterfly Baby, lookin' around
Flyin' like crazy, all over town
Oh you little Butterfly Baby, I'll hang around
Hopin' that maybe someday you'll settle down

Like A Hurricane (Marie Osmond)
Like A Hurricane
Composer(s): Michael Clark
Performer(s): Marie Osmond
Baby, the girls want to know about you
they want to know what you do to make me so crazy
'Cause lately, they see how I've turned around
my feet never touch the ground since you've been near me
They're asking "Is the boy really that hot?"
I tell them yes you are
"Can you tell us what the boy's got?"
Well, that's kind of hard
You see, it's not that easy
I know they wouldn't believe me....
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
After lovin' you.......
But baby, they didn't believe a word
they said that they've never heard of a boy like that
That maybe I was stretchin' out the truth
tryin' to take them for a fool with a story like that
They kept asking "Is the boy really that hot?"
I tell them yes you are
"Can you tell us what the boy's got?"
Well, that's kind of hard
You see, it's not that easy
I know they wouldn't believe me....
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
After lovin' you.......
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
'Cause you love me like a hurricane ...

Originally performed by: Danyel Gérard
Covered by various other artists
Fell in love in the wink of an eye
With the girl who was called Butterfly
She said she loved me so she could not let me go
But still I had to say goodbye
Butterfly my Butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly my Butterfly
Wait for me don't fly away
Never fly in the heat of the sun
Close your wings when the long day is done
Stay home and wait for me till I get back
And then counting the minutes one by one
Butterfly my Butterfly...
When a man longs to be free
He will sail to the end of the sea
I won't be gone too long but while I travel on
Just close your wings and wait for me
Butterfly my Butterfly...
Butterfly my Butterfly...

When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my City
Ooh, ooh.....
So you think you're lonely

Ooh, ooh.....

Without your charms
Ooh, my, my, my ...

Originally performed by: Danyel Gérard
Covered by various other artists
Tu me dis loin des yeux, loin du cœur
Tu me dis qu'on oublie le meilleur
Malgré les horizons,
Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais surnommée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
L'océan c'est petit, tout petit
Pour deux cœurs où l'amour a grandi
Malgré ce que tu dis,
Tu vois qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais enlacée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Près de toi je resterais
Notre amour est si grand, oui si grand
Que le ciel y tiendrait tout dedans
Malgré ce que tu dis,
Je sais qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais embrassée
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Dans un mois je reviendrais

Près de toi je resterais

Lightning's Girl
Lightning's Girl
Composer(s): Lee Hazlewood
Performer(s): Nancy Sinatra; Lydia Lunch
I've told you that I'm Lightning's girl
But you keep hanging 'round
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to put you down
About six feet!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down...yeah
Better stop your grooving 'round
Another rooster's hen
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to do you in
In about two minutes!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Here comes Lightning down the street
While you just stand there talking
If I were you I'd start to move
And tell my story walking
About a hundred miles an hour!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l

Lightning Express
Lightning Express
Composer(s): Bradley Kincaid
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
and multiple other artists
The Lightning Express from the depot so grand
Had started out on its way
All of the passengers that were on board
Seemed to be happy and gay
But one little boy, who sat by himself
was reading a letter he had
You can plainly tell by the look on his face
that the contents of it made him sad
The stern old conductor then started his round
taking tickets from everyone there
And finally reaching the side of the boy
he gruffly demanded his fare
'I have no ticket,' the boy then replied
'but I'll pay you back, someday'
'Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make'
but he stopped when he heard the boy say
'Please Mr. Conductor, don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world, sir
is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment, sir
and may not live through the day
I want to reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'
A girl, sitting near, was heard to exclaim
'If you put him off, it's a shame!'
Taking his hat, a collection she made
The boy's way was paid on the train
'I'm obliged to you, miss
for your kindness to me'
'You're welcome,' she said, 'never fear'
Each time the conductor would pass through the car
The boy's words would ring in his ear
'Please Mr. Conductor, don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world, sir
is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment, sir
and may not live through the day
I want to reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'

Butterflies In The Rain
Butterflies In The Rain
Composer(s): Sherman Myers; Erell Reaves
Performer(s): Ray Noble & Al Bowlly
and various other artists
When the rain is pattering helter skelter
And the butterflies are caught out in the rain
Leafy hollyhocks would murmur come and shelter
Until the rainbow shines again
In the heart of every roses apron
From the pitter patter pitter pat refrain
There's protection from the showers
From the sympathetic flowers
For the butterflies in the rain
Pretty things, you'll have to fold your wings
Waiting for the bright and placid sun showers
`Neath the broad protection of the sunflowers
Gone the rain, the sky is clear again
You can carry on your sweet flirtation
With every blushing rose

Composer(s): Lou Christie - Twyla Herbert
First release by: Lou Christie - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Listen to me, baby, you got to understand
You're old enough to know the makings of a man
Listen to me, baby, it's hard to settle down
Am I asking too much for you to stick around
Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you
Won't you wait but 'til then
When I see lips beggin' to be kissed (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again
Nature's takin' over my one-track mind
Believe it or not, you're in my heart all the time
All the girls are sayin' that you'll end up a fool
For the time being, baby, live by the rules
When I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I'll make up for all lost time
If she's put together fine and she's readin' my mind (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again
There's a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us around the bend
Picture in your mind
Love forever, but 'til then
If she gives me a sign that she wants to make time (Stop!)
I can't stop (Stop!) I can't stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
