Chaque Matin Il Se Lève


Chaque Matin Il Se Lève ((aka Dans La Brume Du Matin (Joe Dassin) - 1966))
((Adapted from: Early Morning Rain (Gordon Lightfoot) - 1966))
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot - Eddy Mitchell
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1974



La pluie du petit matin
Me donne froid dans le dos
L'alcool qui est dans mon verre
Me réchauffe un peu la peau
Et la, j'attends le soleil
Je m'installe pour son show
Ça y est le soleil se lève
Pour moi il s'est fait beau

Chaque matin il se lève,
Il est le roi de la fête
Il me donne mal à la tête
À le voir toujours si haut
S'il voulait boire avec moi
À nous deux nous serions trois
La nuit, le soleil et moi
Jamais il ne le voudra

Chaque matin il se lève
Parfois il en fait de trop
Ses rayons se font cruels
Il vient me brûler la peau
C'est la star la plus célèbre
C'est le plus grand des grands shows
Ça y est le soleil se lève
Le grand spectacle est là-haut

Sur la route nationale
Il éclaire les autos
S'il savait combien j'ai mal
De le voir toujours si haut
Il viendrait boire avec moi
Encore quelques verres de trop
Chaque matin il se lève
Pour moi il s'est fait beau

Il est encore revenu
J'ai perdu une fois de plus
Mais je ne parierai plus
Contre lui c'est défendu

Chaque matin il se lève
Parfois il en fait de trop...

Funnel Of Love


Funnel Of Love
Composer(s): Charles McCoy; Kent Westbury
Performer(s): Wanda Jackson;
and various other artists



Here I go
Going down, down, down
My mind is a blank
My head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into the funnel of love

I tried and I tried, to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't run from the funnel of love
It's gonna get ya someday

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into the funnel of love

I tried and I tried, to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't run from the funnel of love
It's gonna get ya someday

Here I go, going down, down, down
My mind is a blank
My head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love

The Light Is On


The Light Is On
Performer(s): Christopher Cross



Is it yours
Is it mine
I was never the kind who could draw the line
Are you free
Unforgiven
Is this the kind of world you could live in

It's alright
The light is on
The darkness has run to hide
It's alright
The light is on
But the darkness is just outside
Outside your window

Beating down
Making the sound of the rain
Drive you crazy
Make you lazy
You know it's only the rain

Chaque Jour De Plus


Chaque Jour De Plus Composer(s): Brice Homs - Michel Fugain Performer(s): Michel Fugain



À quoi ça sert l'amour
Si c'est un aller sans retour
Y a plus que du vide à la place
Mais que veux-tu que j'en fasse?

À quoi ça sert la vie
Quand on meurt petit à petit
S'il ne reste plus que l'absence
À qui veux-tu que je pense?

Je jure si tu reviens
Je saurai être heureux d'un sourire
Je jure que j'apprendrai à écrire
Tous les mots pour le dire

Chaque jour de plus est un jour de trop
Je plie déjà sous le fardeau
Chaque jour de plus est un jour de trop
Est-ce que tu reviendras bientôt?

Et moi je sers à quoi
Si je n'suis plus la moitié de toi
Si ta vie n'est plus dans le mienne
Comment veux-tu que je tienne?

Je jure si tu reviens
J'apprendrai à être différent
Je jure que je saurai simplement
Laisser le temps au temps

Chaque jour de plus est un jour de trop
Je plie déjà sous le fardeau
Chaque jour de plus est un jour de trop
Est-ce que tu reviendras bientôt?

Il ne reste plus que l'absence
À qui veux-tu que je pense?

The Light From Your Smile


The Light From Your Smile
Performer(s): Jackson Browne



Oh the light from your smile
Can be seen for a mile
By travellers dark in their sorrow
If you want me to stay
Throw a smile my way
And I’ll stay by your side ’til tomorrow

Woooah...

’Cause all my battered dreams are shattered now
And I need all your beauty to warm me

In the time that I’ve known you
I’ve always shown you
That I could be captured in kindness
Now a storm’s blowin’
Tomorrow I’m goin’
Well the sun takes away my blindness

Woooah...

'Cause all my tattered hopes are shattered now
I wait for the future to touch me

Oh the morning is nearing
The clouds disappearing
The sun will be coming to guide me
Wherever I go
I want you to know
That I carry your smile beside me

Woooah...

The slowly shifting fog is lifting now
And I see the road I’ll be taking

The Light Comes From Within


The Light Comes From Within
Performer(s): Linda McCartney



You say I'm lazy
You say I don't fit
Takes one to know one
You make me sick
You say I'm simple
You say I'm a hick
You're f***ing no one
You stupid d**k
Oppression won't win
The light comes from within
I need a sense of cause
I wanna smell the flowers
You need complete control
You wanna build more towers
You try to change me if you could
I see the trees, you saw the wood
You say I'm different
You say we don't click
I say you're crazy
You make me sick
I say you're greedy because you scheme
You say I'm foolish because I dream
Oppression won't win
The light comes from within
I need a sense of cause
I wanna smell the flowers
You need complete control
You wanna build more towers
I say you're greedy because you scheme
You say I'm foolish because I dream
Oppression won't win
The light comes from within

Chaque Instant De Chaque Jour


Chaque Instant De Chaque Jour
((Adapted from: Any Old Time Of The Day (Dionne Warwick) - 1963))
((Italian Version: Questo Amore È Per Sempre (Dalida) - 1966))
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David - Michèle Vendôme
Performer(s): Sheila - 1964



Pourquoi dire adieu, tu reviendras

Tu dois partir
Mais ça ne change rien pour nous
Ton avenir peut bien t'entraîner loin de tout
Pour toi
Chaque instant de chaque jour
Je serai là
Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais
Si tu as besoin de moi
Souviens t'en
Je t'attends

C'est pourquoi
Ne pense pas que si le chagrin suit tes pas
Il te faudra te consoler dans d'autres bras
Pour toi
Chaque instant de chaque jour je serai là
Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais
Nul ne te remplaceras
Souviens t'en
Je t'attends

Il suffira d'un mot de toi pour m'appeler
Et je viendrai
Puisque demain on doit se séparer tous deux
Alors je veux te dire tout simplement ce que jamais
Je n'ai voulu dire à personne
Avant toi

Pour toi
Chaque instant de chaque jour
Je serai là
Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais
Si tu as besoin de moi
Souviens t'en
Je t'attends

Il suffira d'un mot de toi pour m'appeler
Et je viendrai
Puisque demain on doit se séparer tous deux
Alors je veux te dire tout simplement ce que jamais
Je n'ai voulu dire à personne avant
Toi

Performer(s): Arthur Conley;
BB Band; Sam & Dave; Fatal Flowers;
Herbie Goins & Soultimers; Ike & Tina Turner



One used to be the shotgun
Two used to be the bad boogaloo
Three used to be the swing shingaling
Four used to be the funky four fingers

Down on Funky Street, diggin' the funky beat
Down on Funky Street, that's where the grooviest people meet
From Atlanta, Georgia, goin' on down to the border
Every boy is dancin' with somebody's daughter

Groovin' in the city, got to get down with it
Down on Funky Street we`re diggin that funky beat
Down on Funky Street, that's where the grooviest people meet

Jump up and down and move all around
Bend your knees half way down to the ground
Move it to the west and to the south
Turn it around and kick your partner in the mouth

Down on Funky Street, diggin the funky beat
Down on Funky Street that's where the grooviest people meet
Sweet soul music is in the air
People are comin' from everywhere
Comin' from the east, comin' from the west
Dancin with the one they love the best

One, c'mon everybody, you got to hit the floor
Three, c'mon baby and go with me
Two used be the bad boogaloo
One, got to have just a little fun

Down on Funky Street, diggin the funky beat
Down on funky street, diggin the funky beat
Down on ............................

The Letter That Never Reached Home


The Letter That Never Reached Home
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie - Bernie Grossman - Archie Gottler



Just after the fray where brave soldiers lay upon the field
their comrades came to carry them away
they picked up a note some poor fellow wrote
they read it with a tear dimmed
eye 'twas a soldier's last good bye

He's only just one a husband or son who knows
but what he left before his work on earth was done
but some one may yearn for some one's return
and never know just where he went or the message that he sent

Just an old fashioned letter that lay on the ground
it came from a soldier boy's heart
before he ever could send it he had to end it
"I love you" was all he could start
It was found without an address not even a name, so his message will never be known
only God in His might, know's who waiting tonight for the letter that never reached home

Chaque Fois Que J'aime


Chaque Fois Que J'aime Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Chaque fois que j'aime
Tout m'enivre et tout me prends
Pourtant c'est toujours pareil et différent

Chaque fois que j'aime
Je redécouvre encore la vie
Et je suis prêt à faire mille folies
C'est comme un premier soleil qui me brûle
Un de ces jours merveilleux de printemps
Qui me tire d'un sommeil ridicule
Le coeur battant
Comme un enfant

Chaque fois que j'aime
Je sais bien que c'est pour toujours
Et je donne à coeur veux-tu de cet amour
C'est toujours de même
Je n'ai rien connu de plus beau
Car chaque fois que j'aime c'est nouveau

Chaque fois que j'aime
Tout en moi paraît anormal
Et mon coeur frappe si fort qu'il m'en fait mal

Chaque fois que j'aime
J'entre dans un monde fermé
Où la raison d'être est aimer pour aimer
Je perds la notion du temps et des choses
Je rêve encore un peu plus chaque jour
Et les questions que souvent je me pose
Tournent autour
De mon amour

Chaque fois que j'aime
Mon bonheur me semble si grand
Que je crois n'avoir jamais aimé autant
C'est toujours de même
J'arrête ma vie et le temps
Car chaque fois que j'aime

Chaque fois que j'aime
Chaque fois que j'aime
J'ai vingt ans

Funky Fever


Funky Fever
Composer(s): Terry Ryan; John Sterling
Performer(s): The Eric Burdon Band



I've been looking for my baby
Since I don't know when
Can't seem to hide this feeling
I got deep down within

She took away my love
She took away my pride
She gives me funky fever
I've got deep down inside

Sometimes she makes me happy
sometimes she makes me blue
She gives me funky fever
Sometimes I get the funky flu

Now I don't need my baby
'Cause she told me what to do
If you got that funky woman
You get the funky fever, too

Hey, funky fever
Hey, funky fever
Love that woman, too
She gives me funky fever
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I love that funky fever
I love that woman, too
I got that funky fever
Gonna give it all to you

Chaque Fois


Chaque Fois
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or
Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor
Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records
Es-tu vraiment garagiste ou sœur de charité

Mais chaque fois la note est un peu plus salée
Chaque fois pour une bougie encrassée
Et chaque fois ma voiture ne fait pas l'été
Sur l'autoroute, sur le bas côté
Je suis en panne
Et puis à marcher
Vers la station qui va m'escroquer

Chaque fois je repars par le premier train
Chaque fois deuxième classe avec puce à chien
Chaque fois y a pire que moi mais je me plains
On est toujours le pauvre de quelqu'un
Je fais pas sale
Je suis prêt à tuer
Le premier qui viendra pour me remorquer

Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or
Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor
Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records

Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or
Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor
Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records

Young Patrick:
Dear Auntie Mame
In English Lit
I'm in the top ten
I got a B plus average again
Tahati sounds the greatest of
All the crazy places that you've been
Wait 'til you hear the latest
I think I've got a whisker
On my chin!

Older Patrick:
Dear Auntie Mame
I find it's getting harder to cram
I flunked my Latin grammar exam
I'm shaving every morning
And growing like it's going out of style
The debs all seem to go for me
Give France a big hello for me
A hug to Uncle Beau for me
Your Loving Nephew Patrick

Chapter 24


Chapter 24 Composer(s): Syd Barrett First release by: Pink Floyd - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists



All movement is accomplished in six stages
And the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
It forms when darkness is increased by one

Change return success
Going and coming without error
Action brings good fortune
Sunset

The time is with the month of Winter Solstice
When the change is due to come
Thunder in the Earth, the course of Heaven
Things cannot be destroyed once and for all

Change return success
Going and coming without error
Action brings good fortune
Sunset...
Sunrise...

All movement is accomplished in six stages
And the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
It forms when darkness is increased by one

Change return success
Going and coming without error
Action brings good fortune
Sunset...
Sunrise...
Sunset...
Sunrise...
Sunset...
Sunrise...

Funk The Dumb Stuff


Funk The Dumb Stuff
Composer(s): Emilio Castillo;
Stephen Kupka; F. Rocco Prestia
Performer(s): Tower Of Power



You think you’re cold, to cold to behold
But the truth be told you’re about to fold
Funk the dumb stuff (Funk the dumb stuff)

You think you’re hot, to hot to stop
But what you got, its about to flop
Funk the dumb stuff (Funk the dumb stuff)

You think you’re bad, but ain’t it sad
Realistically you can be had
Funk the dumb stuff (Funk the dumb stuff)

You think you’re good, as good as gold
But you’re jive trip be getting old
Funk the dumb stuff (Funk the dumb stuff)

If you funk with me, I’ll funk with you
If you funk with me, I’ll funk with you
If you funk with me, I’ll funk you too!

You think you’re hip, hip to the tip
But with all that lip, you’re about to slip
Funk the dumb stuff (Funk the dumb stuff)

You think you’re cool, too cool for school
But out of the pool, you’re just a fool
Funk the dumb stuff (Funk the dumb stuff)

You think you’re slick, so smooth and quick
On the real side, you’re in a trip
Funk the dumb stuff (Funk the dumb stuff)

And you think you’re bold, as bold as brass
but the truth be told we gonna kick yo
Funk the dumb stuff (Funk the dumb stuff)

If you funk with me, I’ll funk with you
If you funk with me, I’ll funk with you
If you funk with me, I’ll funk you too!
