Cadillac


Cadillac
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'veux plus courber l'échine
J'veux plus saluer bien bas
Je n'veux plus qu'les gens d'en haut
Passent et me voient pas
Je vais semer aux amériques
Je vais inventer des lois
Des métaux et des usines
Je vais fonder Détroit
Cadillac
Il était comme ça
Cadillac
Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ...
Cadillac
Il était comme ça
Cadillac
Un petit gars
Né près d'Toulouse, Garonne ...
J'veux plus vivre dans une cage
J'veux plus planter de tabac
Au sud de la Loire tu n'est rien
Si t'es pas Roi des Rois ...
Je m'en vais fonder une ville bleue
Je m'en vais fonder Détroit
D'où jailliront des usines
Et un rock de combat
Cadillac
On est tous comme ça
Cadillac
Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ...
Cadillac
Il était comme ça
Cadillac
Un p'tit gars
Comme toi ..
Cadillac
On est tous comme ça
Cadillac
Si on t'aime pas, tu t'en vas ...
Cadillac
Il était comme ça
Cadillac
Un petit gars
Comme toi ...
Comme toi ...
Musiques et limousines
Sueur, métal et combats
Il a fallu qu'un p'tit gars
Vienne là pour fonder
Détroit Il fallu
Qu'un p'tit gars
Vienne là
Pour fonder
Détroit Il fallu
Qu'un p'tit gars
Vienne là
Pour fonder Détroit ...

Fairytale (Dana)


Fairytale
Composer(s): Paul Greedus
Performer(s): Dana



Imagine what a fool you're gonna make of me
Just think of what you're doin' to my pride
You run around and love a lot
And never know the good you've got
Or where you go or where you've been
But don't you know you're living in a fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening, they do come true
But you and only you alone believe they do

You're walkin' on a tightrope, but you'd better know
There's no one here to catch you if you fall
But I understand what's in your mind
And how you're waiting right behind
I should have known it from the start
I'd only be another part of your fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening, they do come true
But you and only you alone believe they do

Oh, fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening, they do come true
But you and only you alone believe they do

Fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening, they do come true
But you and only you alone believe they do

You keep on doin' it, fairytale
I do believe that you believe your fairytale
Imagining it's happening
But you and only you alone believe they do

Ring a ring o' rosies
A pocketful of posies
They do come true.......

That's The Way He Does It


That's The Way He Does It
Composer(s): Harry James - Buddy Pepper
Performer(s): Doris Day



He stays away too long, leaves her by herself
Treats her wrong, keeps her on the shelf
He talks and talks about her
And she loves the way he does it

He's got a lyin' smile, easy to believe
And all the while laughin' up his sleeve
He fibs and fibs about her
And she loves the way he does it

There's a great deal of devil
From the top of his head to his toes
But she's on the level
She's gonna go where he goes

When there's a honey moon hangin' in the sky
All too soon he will say goodbye
And that is that, but that's the way he does it
And she loves it

When there's a honey moon hangin' in the sky
All too soon he will say goodbye
And that is that, but that's the way he does it
And she loves it

Cadence And Cascade


Cadence And Cascade Composer(s): Robert Fripp - Peter Sinfield Performer(s): King Crimson



Cadence and Cascade
Kept a man named Jade
Cool in the shade
While his audience played
Purred, whispered, "Spend us too
We only serve for you"

Sliding mystified
On the wine of the tide
Stared pale-eyed
As his veil fell aside
Sad paper courtesan
They found him just a man

Caravan hotel
Where the sequin spell fell
Custom of the game
Cadence oiled in love
Licked his velvet gloved hand
Cascade kissed his name

Sad paper courtesan
They knew him just a man

Fairy Moon


Fairy Moon
Composer(s): Charles K. Harris
Performer(s): Grace Edmonds



Is my lover false or true, or only fooling me tell me my Fairy Moon
Is he coming out tonight to meet his little girl come to spoon?
I will meet him at the gate and for his loving kiss I'll wait
for you know I love him so, won't you make him hurry
I'm as lonesome as can be, he's so slow

Can't you see I'm lonely now, where can my sweetheart be, tell me my Fairy Moon
Does he love another girl instead of little me, Fairy Moon?
There's a cloud before your face I see, perhaps you pity me
is it just because you know
just the same I love him still with all my heart and soul, tell him so

Fairy Moon to you I'm sighing, Fairy Moon, to you I'm crying
for you know my heart's own secrets, and I crave one little boon
Fairy Moon my golden bubble, won't you help me in my trouble
tell me is my sweetheart true, my Fairy Moon

Cadeau


Cadeau
((Adapted from: No Charge (by Melba Montgomery) - 1974))
((Danish Version: Ingen Regning (by Peter Belli) - 1978))
Composer(s): Harlan Howard - Marie Laforêt
Performer(s): Marie Laforêt - 1974



Marie Laforêt:
Hier soir, dans la cuisine
je préparais le dîner, quand mon petit garçon est entré
Il m'a tendu un morceau de papier griffonné
J'ai essuyé mes mains sur mon tablier
et je l'ai lu
Et voici ce qu'il disait

L'enfant:
Pour avoir fait mon lit toute la semaine 3 francs
Pour avoir été aux commissions 1 franc
Pour avoir surveillé le bébé pendant que toi tu allais aux commissions 1 franc 25
Pour avoir descendu la corbeille à papiers 75 centimes
Pour avoir remonté la corbeille à papiers 1 franc et 10 centimes
Pour avoir arrosé les fleurs sur le balcon 25 centimes
Total 9 francs et 85 centimes

Marie Laforêt:
Je l'ai regardé, il se tortillait en mâchant son crayon
et une foule de souvenirs sont revenus à ma mémoire
Alors j'ai repris son crayon, j'ai retourné la feuille et voilà ce que j'ai écrit

Marie Laforêt:
Pour neuf mois de patience et douze heures de souffrance
Cadeau
Pour tant de nuits de veille, surveillant ton sommeil
Cadeau
Pour les tours de manège, les jouets, le collège
Cadeau
Et quand on fait le tour, le total de mon amour
C'est Cadeau

Marie Laforêt:
Quand il a eu fini de lire, il avait un gros chagrin dans les yeux
Il a levé la tête et a dit

"M'Man, je t'aime très beaucoup"

Il a repris son papier, l'a retourné, et en grosses, grosses lettres, a marqué

"Cadeau"

Marie Laforêt:
Et quand on fait le tour, le total de l'amour
C'est Cadeau, C'est Cadeau

Fairly In The Money Now


Fairly In The Money Now
Composer(s): Tommy Tate; The Torpedoes
Performer(s): The Undertones



Tommy always said he'd make it one day
Lead singer in a top show band
So with some friends made up tunes to play
Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began

Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops
And satin suits all dressed to kill
Soon Tommy's boys became top of the pops
But then the money came over the hill
But then the money came over the hill

All the cash to spend on their girlfriends
Howard Hughes is missed a turn there
And then their interests
Are manager's requests
They all bought their ranches

Hypnotised by every part that arrived
Higher prices for indifferent songs
But never the less Tommy's into success
So his Torpedoes kept plodding on
And his Torpedoes kept plodding on

That's The Way (The Honeycombs)


That's The Way
Composer(s): Alan Blaikley - K. Howard
Performer(s): The Honeycombs



That's the way we should begin it
Take my hand I lead you oh so gently
That's the way you set me dreaming
That's the way I hit the ceiling
With your size and in your eyes
I see that that's the way we'll fall in love

Tell me (tell me)
That you really love me (I love you)
Tell me you really need me
So I am sure

That's the way you set me singing
That's the way are those bells ringing
Though you're shy you know I really wants you
All the way don't keep me waiting
No delay, no, no, no hesitating
Here we go just keep on holding tight
And that's the way we'll fall in love

Tell me (tell me)
That you really love me (I love you)
Tell me you really need me
So I am sure

That's the way there's nothing in it
That's the way we should begin it
Take my hand I lead you oh so gently
That's the way we'll fall in love
We'll fall in love
We'll fall in love

Cadê Você


Cadê Você Composer(s): João Donato - Chico Buarque Performer(s): João Donato; Rosa Passos; Jose Luiz Mazziotti



Me dê notícia de você
Eu gosto um pouco de chorar
A gente quase não se vê
Me deu vontade de lembrar

Me leve um pouco com você
Eu gosto de qualquer lugar
A gente pode se entender
E não saber o que falar

Seria um acontecimento
Mas lógico que você some
No dia em que o seu pensamento
Me chamou

Eu chamo o seu apartamento
Não mora ninguém com esse nome
Que linda a cantiga do vento
Já passou

A gente quase não se vê
Eu só queria me lembrar
Me dê notícia de você
Me deu vontade de voltar

Goin' home, late last night

Fairy boots were dancin' with a dwarf, all right now!

Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes, well all right now!

Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me

So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
he said "Son, son, you've gone too far.
'cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah!

That's The Way (Led Zeppelin)


That's The Way
Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
My friend, the boy next door
I can't believe what people saying
You're gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
You're in the darker side of town

And when I'm out I see you walking
Why don't your eyes see me
Could it be you've found another game to play
What did mama say to me

That's the Way
Oh, that's The Way it ought to be
Yeah, yeah, mama say
That's the Way it ought to stay

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
Had they got you hypnotized?

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
But all that lives is born to die
And so I say to you that nothing really matters
And all you do is stand and cry

I don't know what to say about it
When all you ears have turned away
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see
Is that the way it ought to stay?

That's the way... That's the way it oughta be
Oh don't you know now
Mama said... that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah

Cade la neve
tu non verrai questa sera
Cade la neve
non ci vedremo lo so
La città che dorme
si copre di bianco
intanto il mio cuore
si veste di buio

Questa sera non verrai
invano aspetterò
ma cade la neve
lentamente dal cielo

Cade la neve
tu non verrai questa sera
Cade la neve
non ci vedremo lo so

Nella via deserta
nemmeno una voce
mi sento morire
non mi sei vicina

Questa sera non verrai
invano aspetterò
ma cade la neve
lentamente dal cielo
Ma cade la neve
lentamente dal cielo

Faire Face


Faire Face
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'n'ai pas toujours chanté des chansons
On s'est divisé autour de mon nom
Parfois la colère m'a glissé des doigts
Mais ce que j'ai fais c'était bien je crois

J'ai défié les hommes qui truquaient leur jeux
J'ai croisé la mort inscrite dans leurs yeux
J'ai connu la peur je l'ai maîtrisée
Et la moindre erreur j'ai su l'exploiter

À chaque coin de rue se cache une guerre
Moi j'aime bien savoir à qui j'ai à faire

Faire face
Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face
J'ai toujours su faire face
Faire face pour me faire une place

J'ai souillé le lit des plus belles femmes
Mes mains dans la nuit corrompaient leurs âmes
Que l'on m'ai sifflé, trahi ou aimé
L'important pour moi c'était d'exister

Le chagrin la haine la peur
Ou même l'amitié
Sont des vieux mots
Qu'il faut enterrer

Faire face
Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face

Faire face
J'ai toujours su faire face

Faire face pour me faire une place

Oh ! Faire face

Faire, faire, faire
Faire face
Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face

Oui faire face
Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face

That's The Beginning Of The End


That’s The Beginning Of The End
Composer(s): Alex Kramer - Joan Whitney
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists



When she don't sweet talk anymore
Her kiss ain't like it was before
It's time you added up the score, my friend
That's the beginning of the end

She keeps you waiting for a date
Makes no excuse for being late
Wake up and recognize your fate, my friend
That's the beginning of the end

What she's doing to you, she did to me
But I was in love, so how could I see
You'd better get wise, you'd better beware
Or one of these days you'll turn around and she won't be there

Don't say that you were never told
I know that character of old
When she starts straying from the fold, my friend
That's the beginning of the end

What she's doing to you, she did to me
But I was in love, so how could I see
You'd better get wise, you'd better beware
Or one of these days you'll turn around and she won't be there

Don't say that you were never told
I know that character of old
When she starts straying from the fold, my friend
That's the beginning of the end
That’s the beginning of the end

Cadáver Exquisito


Cadáver Exquisito
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Comienza el día
y una luz sentimental
nos envuelve, se va
la fabulosa sinfonía universal
nos envuelve, vuelve, se va
tango sexo, sexo y amor
tanto tango, tanto dolor
mi vida gira en contradicción
jamas conquisté mi corazón
mas donde estaba cuando
paso lo que paso
hablándome al espejo solo?

Vengo de un barrio
tan mezquino y criminal
quizá te queme, queme, quizás
vengo de un barrio
siempre a punto de estallar
quizá te queme, queme, quizás
si de nada sirve vivir
buscas algo porque morir
el tiempo me ha enseñado a mirar
a veces me ha enseñado a callar
donde estabas cuando paso lo que paso
hablándole al espejo sola
es tanta la tristeza y es tan ruin
que celebro la experiencia feliz
la estupidez del mundo
nunca pudo y nunca podrá
arrebatar la sensualidad

Busco mi piedra filosofal
en los 7 locos
en el mar
en el cadáver exquisito
en no tener piedad
en la quinta escénica de la música
dentro mío, dentro en el amor

Y el...
odio tener que pensar
preferiría tu sonrisa a toda la verdad
avanzo un paso
retrocedo y vuelvo a preguntar
que algo cambie
para no cambiar jamas
todo es imperfecto amor
...y obvio

Fair To Even Odds


Fair To Even Odds
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Pete Sears
Performer(s): Pete Sears



How long, Jack, till we get to Singapore?
How long, Joe, did we sign on for?
Better keep bailing while the rain pours down
The day crews sleeping and the night crews drowned

Fair to even odds, I wager
Fair to even odds, I lay
If we make it till the sunrise
We can make it through the day

Caught at the border running forty-fives
A shot in the back could mean goodbye
You know I have been shot before
And I didn't lay down and die, no

Fair to even odds, I wager
Fair to even odds, I give
Fair to even I recover
Fair to even odds I live

Lie around and clench my teeth
Until my jaws are sore
Maybe give up cigarettes
Till my lungs don't hurt no more

Shot in the back and drawing flies
Flat on my belly with bloodshot eyes
This is the life I love the best
Devil be welcome to the rest

Fair to even odds, I wager
Fair to even I adore
Away, away, go from my window
Don't you bother me no more

Just how far is this day risen?
Move my head so I can see
Hear the hot sweet winds of heaven
Thick and red as blood to me

Fair to even odds, I wager
Fair to even odds, I lay
If I make it till the sunrise
I can make it through the day

I can hear the hangman's hornpipe
Blowing high and low and strong
Fare to even odds, dear Annie
Play no sweeter when I'm gone

Composer(s): Eric Carmen
First release by: Eric Carmen - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



Well I was sixteen
And sick of school
I didn't know what I wanted to do
I bought a guitar
I got the fever
That's rock 'n roll

I played at parties
Played in bars
I spent my money buyin' new guitars
I screamed my heart out
But how I loved it
That's rock 'n roll

Well, come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down, that's rock 'n roll

It's when the smokin'
And the heat
Have got your heart pounding right with
The beat
Don't try to fight it
Just get excited
That's rock 'n roll

Well it's the roadies
And the crowd
It's when the band's playin' way too loud
Your hips are shakin'
Ain't no mistakin'
That's rock 'n roll

Well, come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down, that's rock 'n roll

Now don't you worry
'Bout bein' a star
It doesn't matter who or what you are
Just get the rhythm
And let it fill ya
That's rock 'n roll

And if you feel it
Clap your hands
Let's see some sweat for the boys in the band
Now lemme hear ya
Lemme hear ya
That's rock 'n roll

(Everybody) get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down, that's rock 'n roll

Cada Vez Que Me Amas


Cada Vez Que Me Amas Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute; Silvio Rodríguez



Tu sed transubstancia mi sudor
en vino que bebemos en cada beso
Tus pies no se hunden
en los lagos de mis lágrimas
Tu saliva siembra la luz
en la noche de mis ojos
Tu voz resucita mis músculos dormidos
mis latidos sepultados
Tus manos, cuando me tocan, curan
mis heridas más invisibles
Tu hambre fecunda peces
que se multiplican como deseos de humedad
en el múltiple pan de mi cuerpo
Cada vez que me amas
es un milagro

Fair Margaret And Sweet William


Fair Margaret And Sweet William
(aka Lady Margaret And Sweet William)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Pete Seeger;
and various other artists



Sweet William rose one morning bright
And dressed himself in blue
"Come tell to me the long lost love
Between Lady Margaret and you"

"I know no harm of Lady Margaret," said he
"And I hope she knows none of me
But tomorrow morning before eight o'clock
Lady Margaret my bride shall be"

As Lady Margaret was in her chamber high
A-combing up her hair
She spied sweet William and his bride
As they to the church drew near

She threw down her ivory comb
And tossed back her hair
And from the room a fair lady came
That was seen in there no more

The day being gone and the night being come
When most men were asleep
Sweet William spied Lady Margaret's ghost
A-standing at his bed feet

"How do you like your bed?" she said
"And how do you like your sheet?
And how do you like the fair lady
That lies in your arms asleep?"

"Very well do I like my bed," said he
"Very well do I like my sheet
But better do I like the fair lady
That is standing at my bed feet"

The night being gone and the day being come
When most men were awake
Sweet William said he was troubled in his head
From a dream he had last night

He called his weary waiting maids
By one, by two, by three
And last of all, with his bride's consent
Lady Margaret he went to see

He went unto the parlor door
He knocked until he made things ring
But none was so ready as her own dear brother
To arise and let him in

"Is Lady Margaret in the parlour?" said he
"Or is she in the hall
Or is she in her chamber high
Among the gay ladies all?"

"Lady Margaret is not in the parlour," said he
"She is neither in the hall
She is in her coffin
And a-lying by the wall"

"Tear down, tear down, those milk white sheets
They are made of silk so fine
That I may kiss Lady Margaret's cheek
For ofttimes she has kissed mine"

The first that he kissed was her rosy cheek
The next was her dimpled chin
The last of all was her clay-cold lips
That pierced his heart within

"Tear down, tear down those milk white sheets
They are made of silk so fine
Today they hang around Lady Margaret's corpse
And tomorrow they will hang around mine"

Lady Margaret died of pure, pure love
Sweet William died of sorrow
They are buried in one burying ground
Both side and side together

Out of her grave grew a red rose
And out of his a briar
They grew in a twining true lover's knot
The rose and the green briar
