Carolina In My Mind


Carolina In My Mind Composer(s): James Taylor First release by: James Taylor - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists



In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Karin she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt it no ones mind
That loves the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm dyin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent last last night
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Signs that might be omens say I going, going
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing 'round me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Composer(s): L. Gaste;
J. Eaton; F. Shuman; L. Wagner
Performer(s): Dalida



Flamenco bleu des jours heureux
Chanson qui parle d'une guitare au cœur de feu

Le ciel brûlant
Couleur de sang
Etrangement semblait
Partager nos secrets
Je te revoie entre mes bras
Avec tes yeux cherchant mes yeux
Rempli de toi

Chanson des jours d'adieux
Flamenco bleu
Que nous dansions heureux

Tu m'attendras
Je reviendrai
Et dans tes bras je te rendrais
Tous les baisers qu'un soir tu m'as donné

Flamenco bleu
Mon ciel est si bleu de joie

Dagny (English Version)


Dagny
Composer(s): Owe Törnqvist
Performer(s): Owe Törnqvist



We didn't know what love was all about
till little Dagny came to town
Now we're sitting in her coffee shop
dunkin' doughnuts all day long
All of us singing desperately

Dagny, come back and spill
wow-wow-wow- -Dagny, one more refill
Listen to my heart sing
Trala-diddle dill

Such a beauty we had never seen
so we began to plot and scheme
The best of friends in Dagny's coffee shop
becoming rivals for this dream
to see who was the first to win the love of

Carolina Hard Core Ecstasy


Carolina Hard Core Ecstasy Composer(s): Frank Zappa Performer(s): Frank Zappa; The Muffin Men



I coulda swore her hair was made of rayon She wore a Milton Bradley Crayon But she was something I could lay on Can't remember what became of me ... Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy She put a Doobie Brothers tape on (La la la la la-ahh la) I had a Roger Daltrey cape on (A Roger Daltrey cape on) There was a bed I dumped her shape on Can't remember what became of me ... Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy Somewhat later on I woke up and she was gone There was dew out on the lawn In the sunrise Later she came back With a rumpled paper sack Which she told me would contain A surprise She stuck her hand right in it to the bottom Said she knew I'd be surprised she got 'em Take a Charleston pimp to spot 'em Then she gave a pair of shoes to me ... Plastic leather, 14 triple D I said: "I wonder what's the shoes for?" She told me: "Don't you worry no more!" And got right down there on the tile floor Now Darling Stomp All Over Me! ... Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy Is this something new Having people stomp on you? Is it what I need to do For your pleasure? (Yo' pleasure ... it's ... uh ... uh ... all I need) "What is this, a quiz? Don't you worry what it is It is merely just a moment I can treasure ..." (What is ...?) (You know ...) By ten o'clock her arms and legs were rendered She couldn't talk 'cause her mouth had been extendered Looked to me as though she had been blendered But was this abject misery? No! No! Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy! Well ... But was this abject misery? No! No! Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy! But was this abject misery? No! No! Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy! It might seem strange to Herb and Dee Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy!

The Days Of Sand And Shovels


The Days Of Sand And Shovels Composer(s): Bud Reneau - Doyle Marsh Performer(s): Bobby Vinton and multiple other artists



When I noticed her the first time I was outside running barefoot in the rain She lived in the house next door Her nose was pressed against the window pane When I looked at her she smiled And showed a place where two teeth used to be And I heard her ask her mom If she could come outside and play with me Soon the days of sand and shovels Gave way to the mysteries of life Then I noticed she was changing And I looked at her through different eyes We became as one and knew a love Without beginning or an end And everyday I lived with her Was like a new day dawning once again And I've loved her since Every doll was Shirley Temple Soda pop was still a nickel Jam was on her fingertips Milk was circled on her lips After many years our love grew silent And at night I heard her cry And when she left me in the fall I knew that this would be our last goodbye I was man enough to give her Everything she needed for a while But in searching for a pefect love I found that I could not give her a child Now she lives a quiet life And is a mother of a little girl And everytime I pass her house My thoughts go back into another world Cause I see her little girl Her nose is pressed against the window pane And she thinks I'm a lonely man Who wants to come inside out of the rain And I've loved her since Every doll was Shirley Temple Soda pop was still a nickel Jam was on her fingertips Milk was circled on her lips

Carolina (Joe Dassin)


Carolina ((English Version: Sad Sweet Dreamer (Sweet Sensation)) Composer(s): Des Parton - Pierre Delanoë - Claude Lemesle Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on s'aimerait

Elle est si jolie, si fragile
Qu'on a presque peur, presque peur d'y toucher
Elle est le bonheur impossible à rêver

Elle ressemble un peu à ma chance
J'ai presque peur, presque peur d'y penser
Et plus je la vois plus je pense à rêver

Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on s'aimerait

Elle a le regard de l'enfance
Mais elle a aussi les pouvoirs de la fée
C'est la beauté qui commence à rêver

Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on s'aimerait

Je me suis fait prendre au piège
Oh, mais j'aime ma prison
Et c'est si bon de perdre la raison

Un matin, le printemps se donne
Je sais bien, je sais bien qu'il va s'en aller
Mais j'ai tellement mieux que l'automne à rêver

Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que tu viendrais
Carolina, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer qu'on s'aimerait

Flambée Montalbanaise


Flambée Montalbanaise
Composer(s): Gus Viseur
Performer(s): André Minvielle;
and various other artists



Oyez la mélodie
Le fond du soir
Un café
Écoutez, c'est le blues
Du coin le Gus y joue
Du biniou
Comm' fait Bach
Pour une chanson
Pucelle aux ailes déployées
Rame, langue Albatros
Pique et trame au papier
Le cap et la falaise, balèze!
J'écoutais montalbanaise
Une envolée de braises
Noyé, je m'eau de vie-gueur
Viseur au coeur, liqueur soeur
A cloche-pieds, cigarette
Une bouffée volée, yé
Au vent de la postérité
Allez vas-y va
Chaloupe ta mélopée
Ma chanson de café
Charlie passe Parker
Et l'Gus au biniou
Souffle aussi
Comme Black au sax
Si le be -bop à valser
Devait sceller vos nuits
Blues et Polka piquée
Temps
Tu nous réconcilies
M'entends-tu d'accordéon?
Monteille c’était tout petit
Le paradis d'été
Sambapathie, dada plouc
On ramait bal d'amour flou
Mais un souffle est dévoilé
Une poussée bleue, d'envie
M'accroche au cœur, thank you Viseur

Et ceux, les "griff' le temps"
Ont mis les doigts de cordes
Apaches et Django Mississipi
Didi guitare aussi m'a dit
Et Paris loue, Paris prie
Le tango bord de Marne
Chavire la valsouze
Intemporelle et blues

Goutte à goutte ces divines
My lady valsées
Filles et femmes tam-tam
Au fil du temps
Funambules et modernité
(Comme) on jette à l'eau du calme
Un caillou ricochet
Par ondes d'ondes là
Passe-passe l'écho
Des papis d'au-delà du top
Réveillez la mélodie, la chanson des cafés
Vocalise la bob French
Scat et valsez one more
D'oc
Comme un souffle dévoilé
Une poussée bleue d'envie
Accroche au cœur, thank you Viseur

Il Volto Della Vita


Il Volto Della Vita
((Adapted from: Days Of Pearly Spencer (David McWilliams) - 1967))
Composer(s): David McWilliams - Daiano - Mogol
Performer(s): Caterina Caselli - 1968



Con il corpo sono qui
Ma la mente mia non c'è
Corre dietro a dei ricordi
E chi la ferma píu

I miei occhi sono chiusi
Ma ci vedo molto bene
Son davanti ad una casa
Entro e vedo te

Il volto della vita, ah ah
Il volto dell'amore

Rose rosse alle pareti
Giochi d'ombra sul tuo viso
Come ali le mie braccia
Si apron verso te

Ed ancora la mia mente
Non è stanca di vagare
E mi porta lungo il fiume
E in fondo vedo te

Il volto della vita, ah ah
Il volto dell'amore

Sei vestito un poco strano
Ma d'altronde, come sempre
Il mio cuore ti fa festa
Solo a un passo da te

Ma qualcuno ha bussato
E il mio viaggio è terminato
Io mi alzo per aprire
Apro e vedo te

Il volto della vita, ah ah
Il volto dell'amore

Il volto della vita, ah ah

Carolina (Chico Buarque)


Carolina
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Carolina
Nos seus olhos fundos
Guarda tanta dor
A dor de todo esse mundo
Eu já lhe expliquei que não vai dar
Seu pranto não vai nada mudar
Eu já convidei para dançar
É hora, já sei, de aproveitar
Lá fora, amor
Uma rosa nasceu
Todo mundo sambou
Uma estrela caiu
Eu bem que mostrei sorrindo
Pela janela, ói que lindo
Mas Carolina não viu

Carolina
Nos seus olhos tristes
Guarda tanto amor
O amor que já não existe
Eu bem que avisei, vai acabar
De tudo lhe dei para aceitar
Mil versos cantei pra lhe agradar
Agora não sei como explicar
Lá fora, amor
Uma rosa morreu
Uma festa acabou
Nosso barco partiu
Eu bem que mostrei a ela
O tempo passou na janela
Só Carolina não viu

Flagrant Délit (Johnny Hallyday)


Flagrant Délit
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Les hommes qui viennent chasser
Ont découvert un nouveau gibier
Pourvu que vous soyez jeunes
Ils vous pourchassent à la moindre occasion

Ça s'appelle la chasse au jeune
Elle se pratique souvent aujourd'hui
Pourvu que vous soyez jeunes
On vous surprend en flagrant délit

Flagrant délit de jeunesse
C'est un péché plus sérieux que l'ivresse
Dans les rues faites attention
Ils vous piquent à la moindre occasion

La chevelure ou bien la silhouette
Ça leur suffit pour repérer la bête
Ils courent après comme après un lapin
Qui vient saccager leur joli jardin

On vous accuse de jeunesse
C'est un péché plus sérieux que l'ivresse
Vos habits et votre aspect
Vous rendent tous un peu plus suspect

En vérité je vous le dis
Vous vivez tous en flagrant délit
Flagrant délit de jeunesse
C'est un péché plus sérieux que l'ivresse

En vérité je vous le dis
Vous vivez tous en flagrant délit
En vérité je vous le dis
Vous vivez tous en flagrant délit...

Days Of Pearly Spencer


Days Of Pearly Spencer
((Italian Version: Il Volto Della Vita (Caterina Caselli) - 1968))
Composer(s): David McWilliams
First release by: David McWilliams - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



A tenement, a dirty street
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
Inside it's long and so complete
Watched by a shivering sun
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watching as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace
And daylight's brightness shuns

The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run

Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing as the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
Stumbles blindly on
Iron trees smother the air
But withering they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass is gone

The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run

Pearly where's your milk white skin
What's that stubble on your chin
It's buried in the rot gut gin
You played and lost not won
You played a house that can't be beat
Now look your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run

The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
The race is almost run

A tenement, a dirty street
Remember worn and shoeless feet
Remember how you stood to beat
The way your life had gone
So Pearly don't you shed more tears
For those best forgotten years
Those tenements are memories
Of where you've risen from

The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost won

Flagrant Délit (Herbert Léonard)


Flagrant Délit
Composer(s): V. Buggy; J. Lepers
Performer(s): Herbert Léonard



J'aime le goût salé de ta peau
Quand ton corps tout bronzé sort de l'eau
Et ce parfum léger qui me rend fou
J'aime tes yeux étranges qui sourient
Quand tes lèvres me mangent comme un fruit
Ce plaisir qui dérange autour de nous

Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
Encore tout éblouis de promesses
Avoir envie de toi envie de nous
Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses
Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout

J'aime te voir frémir sous mes doigts
J'aime quand tu soupires contre moi
Et mourir, mourir en toi
J'aime les mots troublants des secrets
Que tu murmures avant et après
Qui font battre mon sang, trembler ma voix

J'aime quand tu gémis de plaisir
Et toute anéantie te sentir
Amoureusement blottie entre mes bras
Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
Encore tout éblouis de promesses
Avoir envie de toi envie de nous

Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses
Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout
J'aime te voir frémir sous mes doigts
J'aime quand tu soupires contre moi
Et mourir, mourir en toi
Pris en flagrant délit de tendresse
J'aime quand tu mendies mes caresses
Dans une ultime étreinte, oublier tout
Pris en flagrant délit, oui

Days Of My Youth


Days Of My Youth
Composer(s): Kuiokalani Lee
Performer(s): Don Ho
and multiple other artists



Used to fly like the birds on the wings of the wind
I have played in the sun with a joy deep within
I had laughter as a toy and a sweet for my tooth
In the beautiful days of my youth

Ev'ry one that I met was a friend, not a foe
The fears I have learned way back then I didn't know
Not one deed meant unkind, not one thought uncouth
In the beautiful days of my youth

The time quickly passed, the years traveled on
The hopes and the dreams have diminished and gone
Now the child that I face, how familiar he seems
He's wearing my eyes and living my dreams

Ah, my innocent child
I'll spare the untruths
Of the magical days, the bright shining days
The beautiful days of your youth

Carol Composer(s): Chuck Berry First release by: Chuck Berry - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1964 - O Carole (Johnny Hallyday) 1977 - Oh Dearne (Normaal) 1977 - Karola Petersen (Torfrock)



Oh, Carol
Don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance
If it takes me all night and day

Climb into my machine so we can groove on out
I know some swinging little joint where we can jump and shout
It's not too far back on the highway not so long a ride
You park the car out in the open you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am
'Cause every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed

Oh, Carol
Don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance
If it takes me all night and day

Now, if you want to hear some music like the boys are playing
Hold tight, bang your foot don't let it carry you away
Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud
Won't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd
Well you can't dance I know you would you could
I got my eyes on you, baby, cause you dance so good

Oh, Carol
Don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance
If it takes me all night and day

Oh, Carol
Don't let him steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance
If it takes me all night and day

Flagenheim's Odorless Cheese


Flagenheim's Odorless Cheese
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Dick Powell



There are theme songs and theme songs and theme songs
You hear ev'ry night on the air
There are cigarette, coffee, and cream songs
And songs about clothes you should wear
But the song of all theme songs, the tune of all tunes
Is the song that the Flagenheim baritone croons

To enjoy your veal cutlets, potatoes and peas
Top off your dinner with Flagenheim cheese
It will aid your digestion
So take my suggestion
Get Flagenheim's odorless cheese

The Day You Leave Me


The Day You Leave Me
Composer(s): Cy Coleman - C. Gore
Performer(s): Tony Bennett



On the day you leave me, it still will be spring
Roses will be blooming, and robins will sing
Subways will be running, doorbells will ring
And all in all, the sky won't fall
The sun won't suddenly grow colder
Without your arm around my shoulder

On the day you leave me, there still will be stars
Fog in San Francisco, and rockets to Mars
Balconies and moonlight, Spanish guitars
But will they be of any use to me?
For I know after you've gone, somehow, life will go on
How it will continue, I just don't have a clue
On the day I don't have you

Fixing To Live


Fixing To Live
Composer(s): Judy Pulver
Performer(s): Petula Clark



And I feel like
I'm fixing to live again
To love again
I feel like I'm home

And I feel just like
I know myself once more
When you walked out the door
The feeling was gone

And the moral is us
It can only be us
Get down on one
So down low
And even a smile would
Probably mean a great deal
With problems with
No place to go, no

And I feel like I'm
Fixing to live again
To love again
I feel like I'm home

I feel like I'm
Fixing to live again
Fixing to love again
I feel like I'm home

And the moral is us
It can only be us
Get down on one
So down low
And even a smile would
Probably mean a great deal
With problems with
No place to go, no

Oh, oh
Yeah

And I feel like I'm a tree
With a lot of leaves
Plenty more of these
So won't you take some

And I feel like
I've come a long way you know
Still a long way to go
That's how it's done

And the moral is us
It can only be us
Get down on one
So down low
And even a smile would
Probably mean a great deal
With problems with
No place to go, no

And I feel like
I'm fixing to live again
To love again
I feel like I'm home

I feel like
I'm fixing to live again
Fixing to love again
I feel like I'm home

I feel like
I'm fixing to live again
Fixing to love again
I feel like I'm home
