Qu'y A-T-Il Après?


Qu'y A-T-Il Après?
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil



Qu'y a-t-il après
Quand nos âmes ont disparu
Quand nos cœurs ne battent plus
Près de ceux qu'on aime?

Si nos souvenirs se diluent dans l'infini
Qu'en est-il de nos amours et nos amis?

Quand je m'en irai
Pour ailleurs ou pour après
J'aurai si peur de n'y trouver que des regrets

Je cherche déjà les chemins d'éternité
Qui pourront guider mes pas pour te trouver...

Qu'advient-il de nous
Quand nos yeux se sont fermés
Sur tous ceux qu'on va laisser
Terminer nos rêves

Au bout du chemin, si le temps n'existe pas
Où s'en vont tous les visages d'autrefois?

Quand je m'en irai
Pour toujours ou pour jamais
Je voudrais tant te dire encore que je t'aimais

Si les mots parfois sont trop lourds au fond du cœur
Les silences ont la couleur de nos secrets...

Ils me reste encore tant de larmes et tant de rires
Tant de choses à découvrir
Des bonheurs à vivre

S'il fallait partir, moi mon ciel ou mon enfer
Ce serait de te chercher dans l'Univers...

Qu'y a-t-il après
Quand nos âmes ont disparu
Quand nos cœurs ne battent plus
Près de ceux qu'on aime?

Si nos souvenirs se diluent dans l'infini
Qu'en est-il de nos amours et nos amis?

Quand je m'en irai pour ailleurs ou pour après
J'aurai si peur de n'y trouver que des regrets

Et je sais déjà les chemins d'éternité
Qui pourront guider mes pas pour te trouver...

She Means Nothing To Me


She Means Nothing To Me
Composer(s): Sunny David
Performer(s): Phil Everly & Cliff Richard



Well
here she comes now
I'm on the run now
Pretending
just pretending that I don't see her

Just to teach her
but Darlin'
How much longer can I keep on living this lie?
She means nothing to me
she means nothing to` me

I'm still as free as a bird
don't care what you heard about me
She means nothing to me - no more
She's my world
not just some girl

Harder
it's getting harder to fool anyone
not just her
But I act like a man she'd expect me to: No tears
win her respect
Who am I fooling if I can't fool me?
Who believes what their eyes don't see?
But I keep on lying
She means nothing to me
she don't
she means nothing to me. . . .
All my dreams are depending on her and how good I'm pretending that
She means nothing to me
nothing
she means nothing to me . . .
She means nothing to me
she don't
she means nothing to me . . .

Qu'y A-T-Il De Changé?


Qu'y A-T-Il De Changé?
Composer(s): Serge Lama; Yves Gilbert
Performer(s): Marie Laforêt



Un carillon ding dong
Fait un peu de ping pong
Dans l'espace léger
Les cloches se répondent
Aux quatre coins du monde
Qu'y a-t-il de changé?

Un soleil blanc là-bas
Ajoute un zéro à
L'addition de l'été
Il fait beau dans la tête
Des gens de la planète
Est-ce l'éternité?

Un Pierrot fou d'amour
A cent fois fait le tour
Du monde en cerf-volant
Il fait tourner les tables
Il a l'air d'un bon diable
Sous son air insolent

Les enfants ont du cœur
Ils font pousser des fleurs
Autour de leurs cerceaux
Rien qu'en faisant la ronde
Ils bâtissent un monde
Où les enfants sont beaux

Tous les chasseurs d'antan
Jouent à tuer le temps
Plus jamais de vautours
Les gibiers de potence
Ont mis leur insolence
Au compte de l'amour

Tout ceci n'est pas vrai
C'est un mauvais portrait
Eh bien ma foi tant pis
Puisque le jour se lève
Et dessine mon rêve
Aux formes de Paris

Car le monde est au fond
Au fond au fond au fond
Comme dans les chansons
Et les jours où il pleut
Quand le ciel est moins bleu
Y a qu'à fermer les yeux

She May Have Seen Better Days


She May Have Seen Better Days
Composer(s): James Thornton
Performer(s): George J. Gaskin
and multiple other artists



While strolling along with the city's vast throng
On a night that was bitterly cold
I noticed a crowd who were laughing aloud
At something they chanced to behold

I stopped for to see what the object could be
And there on a doorstep lay
A woman in tears from the crowd's angry jeers
And then I heard somebody say

She may have seen better days when she was in her prime
She may have seen better days once upon a time
Though by the wayside she fell, she may yet mend her ways
Some poor old mother is waiting for her who has seen better days

If we could tell why the poor creature fell
Perhaps we'd not be so severe
If the truth were but known on this outcast alone
Maybe we would all shed a tear

She was once someone's joy, cast aside like a toy
Abandoned, forsaken, unknown
Every man standing by had a tear in his eye
For some had a daughter at home

She may have seen better days when she was in her prime
She may have seen better days once upon a time
Though by the wayside she fell, she may yet mend her ways
Some poor old mother is waiting for her who has seen better days

The crowd went away, but I longer did stay
For from her I was loath to depart
I knew by her moan, as she sat there alone
That something was breaking her heart

She told me her life, she was once a good wife
Respected and honoured by all
Her husband had fled ere tney were long wed
And tears down her cheeks sadly fell

She may have seen better days when she was in her prime
She may have seen better days once upon a time
Though by the wayside she fell, she may yet mend her ways
Some poor old mother is waiting for her who has seen better days

She May Call You Up Tonight


She May Call You Up Tonight
Composer(s): Michael David Lookofsky; Steve Carmelo Martin
First release by: The Left Banke - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



I've been telling lies
I never knew
all to keep that girl
away from you
but she may call you up tonight
then what could I say
that would sound right

Thoughts that raised my mind
just pushed aside
all the chances there
that we once had
but she may call you up tonight
then what could I say
that would sound right

And when I'm crying
yes I know my mind is flying
to a place where there's no trying
but she may call you up tonight

I've been telling lies
I never knew
all to keep that girl
away from you
but she may call you up tonight
then what could I say
that would sound right

but she may call you up tonight
then what could I say
that would sound right
then what could I say
that would sound right

She May Be


She May Be
Composer(s): George Kooymans
Performer(s): Golden Earring



She may be
The girl you're holding tight
She's the one
I cried for every night
I warn you friend
It must be soon
And she will say goodbye
Just like mine
Your arms and veins
Will fly in the sky
One thing I know for sure
This happened once before
She'll turn her back on you
And take me in her arms again
She may be
The girl you're holding tight
She's the one
I cried for every night
Now she's the kind of girl
Who always flies around
But someday soon she'll see it
That I'm the only real love
That mine's the only real love
That mine's the only real love

She Made Toothpicks Of The Timber Of My Heart


She Made Toothpicks Of The Timber Of My Heart
Composer(s): Sammy Mysels; Dick Sanford
Performer(s): Homer & Jethro



Fer a backwoods gal was she
And fer choppin' down a tree
She was handy with an ax and she was smart
Oh but I should have passed her by
When she waved and hollered hi
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

Well when whe promised to be mine
I cut ninety logs of pine
For a little cabin in our world of hearts
All our dreams were heaven bound
Till she tore that castle down
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heartx

She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
Like a buzzsaw rips a pole
She made sawdust of my soul
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

She was tall and she was limber
And for timber she was fine
But her lips were poison oak and turpentine
She was cute and I was green
Yes my darlin' lumber queen
Twined me 'round her finger like a clingin' vine

Now I hang around the shack
Jist a lonesome lumberjack
Mighta knowed her heart
Was wooden from the start
When she snatched away her charms
There were splinters in my arms
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
When she rolled me down that hill
And she run me thru the mill
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

She Loved A Lot In Her Time


She Loved A Lot In Her Time
Composer(s): Randy Boudreaux; Sam Hogin; Kim Williams
Performer(s): George Jones



I started drinking and actin' crazy
Way back in '65
Mama would pray and say he's my baby
Lord please keep him alive

Sister came home with two little children
Her man had left her alone
Mama knew too well the hurt she'd been feelin'
'Cause Daddy'd been gone for so long

We all did our part to add to her pain
We all broke her heart but she never complained

She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time

Mama's prayers were answered a long time ago
I ain't touched a drink in 10 years
Sister remarried to a Good Ol' Boy
They don't live far from here

Mama's work is done
Now she's gone on home...
The words in our hearts
Are engraved on her stone

She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time

She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time

Mama, you loved a lot in your time

Maar ik heb geen zin (hij heeft geen zin)
Om naar m'n baas te gaan
Met m'n blote voeten op het kouwe zeil
(Met z'n grote blote voeten op het kouwe zeil)

She Likes It Too


She Likes It Too
Composer(s): Tim Nichols; Zack Turner
Performer(s): Alan Jackson



I got my first motorcycle when I turned sixteen
I remember my mama raisin cane with me
She said, "Son tell me why you want to ride that thing"
She didn't know about the blonde at the Dairy Queen

I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to ride motorcycles
She likes it too
I like to ride motorcycles
She likes it too

I always wore my hair just a little too long
Daddy didn;t like it and he made no bones
If I'd have gotten it cut like he wanted me to
She wouldn't have had nothin left to run her fingers through

I got my reasons why I do what I do
I like to wear my hair long
She likes it too

I like to wear my hair long
She likes it too

I remember ridin' around with my buddies back home
Listenin to some country on the radio
When they tried to change the station to some rock 'n roll
I'd turn the Opry up just as loud as it would go

I got my reasons why I do what I do
I like country music
She likes it too

I like country music
She likes it too

I got my own reasons
Why I do what I do
I know what I like
She likes it too

I know what I like
She likes it too

Yeah I know what I like
And she likes it too

She walks barefoot through the meadow early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' ev'ry day
And she wakes up the sleepin' flowers early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' on the way

And she lets her hair down when the sun comes up
Yes, she lets her hair down
And the morning glows bright with a newborn light
Yes, the morning glows bright

She goes walkin' past my window early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' on the way
Some day I'll reach out and touch her early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' one fine day

And I'll give her my love till the day I die
Yes, I'll give her my love
And the morning glows bright with a newborn light
Yes, the morning glows bright

She walks barefoot through the meadow early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' ev'ry day

And the morning glows bright with a newborn light
Yes, the morning glows bright

And I'll give her my love till the day I die
Yes, I'll give her my love

And she lets her hair down when the sun comes up
Yes, she lets her hair down

And she lets her hair down when the sun comes up
Yes, she lets her hair down

She Knows All About Boys


She Knows All About Boys
Composer(s): Merino
Performer(s): David Cassidy



She's like a shark in water
moving through the city
She's looking for a boy
out to make a killing
Wallet full of plastic
pocket full of money
she'll give a sign and he will call her honey

She knows all about boys
and all the boys can't leave that girl alone
She knows all about boys
and all the boys can't see that heart of stone

Just a little lonely boy keeping for a lover
he puts his heart out on the line more than he oughta
He'll catch her eye
she'll give him what he's after
He don't know it but he's headed for a disaster
She knows all about boys

She's done nothing but be born with that look
and a passion to please
There ain't a boy she can't read like a book
she can bring'em to their knees
she can bring'em to their knees
she gets ev'rything she needs
she's like a shark in water
moving through the city
She's looking for a boy
out to make a killing
Wallet full of plastic
pocket full of money
she'll give a sign and he will call her honey

She knows all about boys
and all the boys can't leave that girl alone
She knows all about boys
and all the boys can't see that heart of stone

She knows all about boys
and all the boys can't leave that girl alone
She knows all about boys
and all the boys can't see that heart of stone

She knows all about boys
She knows all about boys
She knows all about boys
She knows all about boys

She knows all about boys
and all the boys can't leave that girl alone
She knows all about boys
and all the boys can't see that heart of stone

She knows all about boys
She knows all about boys
She knows all about boys
She knows all about boys
She knows all about boys
She knows all about boys

Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Randy Newman - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



You looked like a princess the night we met
With your hair piled up high
I will never forget
I'm drunk right now baby
But I've got to be
Or I never could tell you
What you meant to me

I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie

You're the song that the trees sing when the wind blows
You're a flower you're a river you're a rainbow
Sometimes I'm crazy
But I guess you know
And I'm weak and I'm lazy
And I've hurt you so
And I don't listen to a word you say
When you're in trouble I just turn away

I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie

She Is Still A Mystery


She Is Still A Mystery
Composer(s): John Sebastian
Performer(s): The Lovin' Spoonful



Remember hallways, you're waiting always
To see behind the door
You never seen her, you're gonna meet her
The first time so unsure
She smiles your way through a window
You smile right back, she runs away
You wish little girls would sit still
just a little bit longer, longer

And she's still a mystery to me
I thought I'd grow up gracefully
And understand my woman finally
But the more I see
The more I see there is to see, there is to see
And she's still a mystery to me
(She's still a mystery to me)
She's still a mystery to me

I used to wonder when in thunder
Understandin's done
But now I'm graspin' that understandin'
Is only part of love
She'll smile your way through a window
You'll smile right back, she'll run away
You wish little girls would sit still
just a little bit longer, longer

And she's still a mystery to me
I thought I'd grow up gracefully
And understand her finally
But she's a mystery to me
But she's a mystery to me ...

She Has A Way


She Has A Way
Composer(s): Gene Clark
Performer(s): The Byrds; Brent Barrett



I was really good to her but how she broke my heart
She looked so young and she seemed so sweet but I was wrong from the start
She has a way about her that makes her run around
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh

I waited so impatiently it didn't do my mind any good
I never thought she would set me free I did all the things that I should
Then all at once I looked for her but she could not be found
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh

I didn't think that I
Could wait for her very long
But I didn't realize
My love for her was so strong

She might be going from heart to heart she might be putting them down
The way she took it all apart made me the laugh of the town
She has a way about her that makes her run around
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

She Had To Go And Lose It At The Astor


She Had To Go And Lose It At The Astor
Composer(s): Don Ray; Hugh Prince
Performer(s): Johnny Messner
and multiple other artists



We'd like to tell you a story about a young girl
about eighteen years old, about five feet two, and about to go out
Now, her Mother, realising it was her first time out with a young man
called her into the bedroom and said
"Minnie, you're all dressed up in your finery, your very best clothes
and you look beautiful, you're gorgeous, you're alluring (you look swell, baby)
and now Minnie I want you to remember everything I've always told you
and above all I want you to be very, very careful.....

But she had to go and lose it at the Astor
She didn't take her mother's good advice
Now there aren't so many girls today who have one
And she'd never let it go for any price

They searched the place from penthouse to the cellar
In every room and underneath each bed
Once they thought they saw it lying on a pillow
But they found it belonged to someone else instead

But she had to go and lose it at the Astor
She didn't know exactly whom to blame
And she couldn't say just how or when she lost it
She only knew she had it when she came

They questioned all the bellboys and the porter
The chef appeared to be the guilty guy
And the doorman also acted quite suspicious
But he coyly said, "I'm sure it wasn't I"

But she had to go and lose it at the Astor
It nearly killed her mother and her dad
Now they felt as bad about the thing as she did
After all it was the only one she had

They just about completed all their searching
When the chauffeur walked up with it in his hand
All they did was stand and gape, there was Minnie's sable cape
And she thought that she had lost it at the Astor

She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft)


She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft)
Composer(s): Tim DuBois
Performer(s): Jerry Reed



Well, I guess it was back in '63
When eatin' my cookin' got the better of me
So I asked this little girl I was goin' with to be my wife
Well, she said she would, so I said, 'I do'
But I'da said, 'I wouldn't' if I'da just knew how sayin' 'I do'
Was gonna screw up all o' my life

Well, the first few years weren't all that bad
I'll never forget the good times we had
'Cause I'm reminded every month when I send her the child support
Well, it wasn't too long till the lust all died
And I'll admit I wasn't too surprised
The day I came home and found my suitcase sittin' out on the porch
Well, I tried to get in, she changed the lock
Then I found this note taped on the mailbox that said
"Goodbye, turkey
My attorney will be in touch"
So I decided right then and there I was gonna do what's right
Give 'er her fair share but, brother
I didn't know her share was gonna be that much

She got the goldmine (She got the goldmine)
I got the shaft (I got the shaft)
They split it right down the middle
And then they give her the better half
Well, it all sounds sorta funny
But it hurts too much to laugh
She got the goldmine, I got the shaft

Now listen up
You ain't heard nothin' yet
Why, they give 'er the color televison set
Then they give 'er the house, the kids and both of the cars
See
Well, then they started talkin' about child support, alimony
And the costs to the court
Didn't take me long to figure out how far in the toilet I was
I'm tellin' ya, they have made a mistake
'Cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes
Besides, everythin' I ever had worth takin' they've already took
While she's livin' like a queen on alimony
I'm workin' two shifts, eatin' baloney
Askin' myself, "Why didn't you just learn how to cook?"

They give her the goldmine (She got the goldmine)
They give me the shaft (I got the shaft)
They said they're splittin' it all down the middle
But she got the better half
Well, it all sounds mighty funny
But it hurts too much to laugh
She got the goldmine, I got the shaft

Well, she got the goldmine (She got the goldmine)
I got the shaft (I got the shaft)
They split it all down the middle
And then they give her the better half
Well, I guess it all sounds funny
(Ahh, ha ha ha)
But it hurts too much to laugh
She got the goldmine, I got the shaft

Heh, heh. Hey, Jimmy, I got the shaft
But I don't have to worry about totin' a billfold anymore
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
I let my wife tote it
I'm gonna be carryin' food stamps
You get it, judge?
I'm gonna be indebted
That's my money
Huh?
Contempt of court?
What do you mean I'm in contempt of court?
