Coeur De Loup
Coeur De Loup Composer(s): Philippe Lafontaine; Juan D'Oultremont Originally performed by: Philippe Lafontaine
Cœur de Loup Pas le temps de tout lui dire Pas le temps de tout lui taire Juste assez pour tenter la satyre Qu'elle sente que j'veux lui plaire Sous le pli de l'emballage La lubie de faufiler La folie de rester sage si elle veut De n'pas l'embrasser Quand d'un coup d'aile se déplume Mon œillet luit fait de l'œil Même hululer sous la lune ne m'fait pas peur Pourvu qu'elle veuille
Je n'ai qu'une seule envie Me laisser tenter La victime est si belle Et le crime est si gai
Pas besoin de beaucoup Mais pas de peu non plus Par le biais d'un billet fou Lui faire savoir que j'n'en peux plus C'est le cas du kamikaze C'est l'abc du condamné Le légionnaire qui veut l'avantage des voyages Sans s'engager Elle est si frêle esquive Sous mes bordées d'amour Je suppose qu'elle suppose Que je l'aimerai toujours Le doigts sur l'aventure Le pied dans l'inventaire Même si l'affaire n'est pas sûre Ne pas s'enfuir Ne pas s'en faire
Je n'ai qu'une seule envie Me laisser tenter La victime est si belle Et le crime est si gai
Cœur de loup Peur du lit Séduis-la Sans délais Suis le swing C'est le coup de gong du king Bong! Cœur de loup M'as-tu lu L'appel aux Gais délits Sors du ring C'est le coup de gong du king Bong!
Pas le temps de tout lui dire Ni de quitter la scène Yep! Elle aura beau rougir De toute façon il faut qu'elle m'aime Je n'ai qu'un seule envie Me laisser tenter......................
Cœur de loup Peur du lit Séduis-la Sans délai Où elle est O La La Beau colis Joli lot Cœur de loup M'as-tu lu L'appel aux Gais délits En dit long Mets l'hola C'est joli Quand c'est laid
Rickety Tickety Tin Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): The Womenfolk
About a maid I'll sing a song ... sing rickety tickety tin About a maid I'll sing a song who didn't have her family long Not only did she do them wrong She did very one of them in, them in, she did every one of them in
Her mother she could never stand ... sing rickety tickety tin He mother she could never stand and so a cyanide soup she planned The mother died with a spoon in her hand, And her face in a hideous grin, a grin, her face in a hideous grin
One morning in a fit of pique ... sing rickety tickety tin One morning in a fit of pique she pushed her father in the creek the water tasted bad for a week, and we had to make do with gin with gin, we had to make do with gin
She set her sister's hair on fire ... sing rickety tickety tin She set her sister's hair on fire and as the smoke and flames rose higher She danced around the funeral pyre, playing a violin, 'olin, playing a violin
She weighted her bother down with stones She weighted her bother down with stones and sent him off to Davy Jones All they ever found were some bones and occasional pieces of skin of skin, ocasional pieces of skin
One day when she had nothing to do .... sing rickety tickety tin One day when she had nothing to do she cut her baby brother in two And served him up as an irish stew, and invited the neighbours in 'bours in, invited the neighbours in
And when at last the police came by ... sing rickety tickety tin And when at last the police came by her little pranks she did not deny For to do so she would have had to lie, and lying she knew was a sin a sin, lying she knew was a sin
My tragic tale I won't prolong ... sing rickety tickety tin My tragic tale I won't prolong and if you do not enjoy my song You've yourself to blame if it's too long, you should never have let me begin, begin you should never have let me begin

Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Tell me do you? Do I really mean the whole world to you? Do you get a glimpse of heaven When your lips meet mine? Do nightly dreams of me pursue you? Do I thrill you? Do I thrill you? Do I thrill you when I cuddle closer to you? Was your life a bore before I knew you? Tell me do I send that certain feeling surging through you? If you love me, tell me that you do

The Snake Composer(s): Oscar Brown Jr. First release by: Oscar Brown Jr. - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists
On her way to work one morning Down the path along side the lake A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew "Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you" "Take me in tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had bee revived "Take me in, tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
She clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried "But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died" She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite "Take me in, tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake "I saved you," cried the woman "And you've bitten me, but why? You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die" "Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin "You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in "Take me in, tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
September Of My Years Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - James Van Heusen Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
One day you turn around, and it's summer Next day you turn around, and it's fall And suddenly, all the springs and winters of a lifetime Whatever happened to them all
As a man, who has always had the wandering ways Now I'm looking back on yesterdays 'Til a long forgotten love appears
And I find, I'm sighing softly as I near September, the warm September of my years
As a man, who has never paused at wishing wells Now I'm watching children's carousels And their laughter's music to my ears
And I find, I'm smiling gently as I near September, the warm September of my years The golden warm September of my years
Coeur Blessé English Title: Broken Heart Composer(s): Georges Aber; John D. Loudermilk; Ralph Siegel Performer(s): Petula Clark
Cœur blessé, torturé par tout le mal que tu m'as fait au fond c'était perdu d'avance il ne reste aucune chance alors adieu moi je m'en vais
J'ai le cœur blessé à tout jamais il y a de quoi vous rendre fou quand on a tout perdu d'un coup adieu je m'en vais le cœur gros il faut croire que c'était trop beau
Cœur blessé, torturé par tout le mal que tu m'as fait rien ne pourra calmer ma peine je sais, quoi qu'il advienne je ne pourrai plus t'oublier
Richard Cory Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel; and various other artists

The Smiths And The Jones Composer(s): K. Twomey - A. Goodhart - I. Joseph Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen
Who’s building the ships, who’s buying the planes Who’s manning the tanks and the guns? It’s the Smiths and the Jones And the Kellys and Cohens They’re all democracy’s sons
Who fights in the north, who fights in the south Who fights in the east and the west? It’s the Smiths and the Jones And the Kellys and Cohens They’re all democracy’s best
Oh they won’t be back till they attack While there’s a job that must be done
Who’s sweethearts will yearn until they return And who’ll be the happiest one? But the Smiths and the Jones And the Kellys and Cohens They’re all democracy’s sons
We the people are working night and day To set the whole world free And when I say “we”, it’s easy to see that I mean you and me
Who’s building the planes? Who’s building the tanks? Who’s launching the ships by the ton? It’s the Smiths and the Jones And the Kellys and Cohens They’re all democracy’s sons
Their aim is the same so what’s in a name There’s just one desire to win And the Smiths and the Jones And the Kellys and Cohens They’ve just begun to begin
Oh. They never stop till they’re on top Why there’s a job that must be done
Who’s paying the tax? Who’s buying the bombs? Who’s filling the treasury funds It’s the Smiths and the Jones And the Kellys and Cohens They’re all democracy’s sons
Right is on their side, they’ll fight with pride And bring us victory
And last but not least they’ll mop up in the east And then the united has won With the Smiths and the Jones And the Kellys and Cohens They’re all democracy’s sons
Prends La Vie Comme Elle Vient ((Adapted from: Do What You Do, Do Well (Ned Miller) - 1964)) ((Danish Version: Gør Hvad Du Kan (Gustav Winckler) - 1965)) Composer(s): Ned Miller - Georges Aber - Claude Carrère Performer(s): Sheila - 1966
La maison de tes rêves Est en train de brûler Elle s'en va en fumée, Alors, qu'est-ce que tu ferais Si cela devait arriver?
Prends la vie comme elle vient, oui Prends la vie comme elle vient C'est le secret de grand-père qui disait Mais oui, prends la vie comme elle vient
Tu viens de faire fortune Mais dans un jeu d'enfer D'un seul coup, tu la perds Dis, qu'est-ce que tu vas faire? Te voilà dans la misère
Prends la vie comme elle vient, oui Prends la vie comme elle vient C'est le secret de grand-père qui disait Mais oui, prends la vie comme elle vient
Si ton amour te quitte Vas-tu t'avouer vaincu? Ton coeur n'en peut plus Alors que fais-tu? Ne dis pas "Tout est perdu"
Prends la vie comme elle vient, oui Prends la vie comme elle vient C'est le secret de grand-père qui disait Mais oui, prends la vie comme elle vient
Si tout cela t'arrive Avec tous ces malheurs Si tu en sors vainqueur Ce jour-là, pas d'erreur Tu auras droit au bonheur
Prends la vie comme elle vient, oui Prends la vie comme elle vient C'est le secret de grand-père qui disait Mais oui, prends la vie comme elle vient
Code Of Love Composer(s): Gary Kemp Performer(s): Spandau Ballet
He put so much into her life She took so much out of his It was a crucial assignment No-one ever asked for this It was a little confusing He thought he knew what to do But now they’re walking in silence Little girl, and soldier blue Well she wrote you a song saying that she approved But you didn’t understand And when love comes along it’s just a catcher in the rye It’s hard to make those long term plans Well it’s the code of love You don’t understand her Well it’s the code of love You could never ask for more They made a certain agreement He’s bound to do what he’s told He ran back home with the message Screwed up in a pocket cold She sat at home with her reason A sour note and a tear But love comes home for the season Breaking down the walls of fears Well it’s the code of love You don’t understand her Well it’s the code of love You could never ask for more
Richard Composer(s): Léo Ferré Performer(s): Léo Ferré; Marc Robine
Les gens
il conviendrait de ne les connaître que disponibles A certaines heures pâles de la nuit Près d'une machine à sous, avec des problèmes d'hommes simplement Des problèmes de mélancolie Alors, on boit un verre, en regardant loin derrière la glace du comptoir Et l'on se dit qu'il est bien tard...
Richard, ça va?
Nous avons eu nos nuits comme ça moi et moi Accoudés à ce bar devant la bière allemande Quand je nous y revois des fois je me demande Si les copains de ces temps-là vivaient parfois
Richard, ça va?
Si les copains cassaient leur âme à tant presser Le citron de la nuit dans les brumes pernod Si les filles prenaient le temps de dire un mot A cette nuit qui les tenait qui les berçait
Richard, ça va?
A cette nuit comme une sœur de charité Longue robe traînant sur leurs pas de bravade Caressant de l'ourlet les pâles camarades Qui venaient pour causer de rien ou d'amitié Nous avons eu nos nuits...
Richard eh! Richard!
Les gens, il conviendrait de ne les connaître que disponibles A certaines heures pâles de la nuit Près d'une machine à sous avec des problèmes d'hommes, simplement Des problèmes de mélancolie Alors on boit un verre en regardant loin derrière la glace du comptoir Et l'on se dit qu'il est bien tard...
Richard! encore un p'tit pour la route? Richard! encore un p'tit pour la route? Eh! m'sieur Richard encore un p'tit pour la route? Allons! Richard... Richard... encore un p'tit!
The Smile You Smile Composer(s): Van Morisson Performer(s): Van Morrison
The smile you smile as you and I, see through your laughing eyes The smile you smile as you and I, see through your laughing eyes O baby, in the whirlpool of them I can be in paradise
I go roamin' in the gloamin ever and a day with you O yes we will, I go roamin' in the gloamin' ever and a day with you

The Seine Composer(s): Irving Burgess Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; The Four Preps
One night along the river at Saint-Germain-des-Prés I first met my beloved at a small sidewalk café We walked along the river, the shadows passing by But we only saw each other, the shining water and the sky
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there Greet her there on the moonlit banks of the Seine?
Standing there across the river, mid sound of horn and tram In all her quiet beauty, the cathedral Notre Dame And as we passed beside her, I said a little prayer That when this dream was over, I'd awake and find you there
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there Greet her there on the moonlit banks of the Seine?
We walked along the river, 'till dawn was coming nigh Beneath the Eiffel Tower we said our last good-bye There on that splendid morning, I left you all in tears And the beauty of that hour will shine within me through the years
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there Greet her there on the moonlit banks of the Seine?
The Seine, the Seine When will I again meet her there on the Seine?
Coda Di Lupo Composer(s): Massimo Bubola; Fabrizio De André Originally performed by: Fabrizio De André Covered by various other artists
Quando ero piccolo m'innamoravo di tutto correvo dietro ai cani e da marzo a febbraio mio nonno vegliava sulla corrente di cavalli e di buoi sui fatti miei sui fatti tuoi
e al dio degli inglesi non credere mai
E quando avevo duecento lune e forse qualcuna è di troppo rubai il primo cavallo e mi fecero uomo cambiai il mio nome in "Coda di lupo" cambiai il mio pony con un cavallo muto
e al loro dio perdente non credere mai
E fu nella notte della lunga stella con la coda che trovammo mio nonno crocifisso sulla chiesa crocifisso con forchette che si usano a cena era sporco e pulito di sangue e di crema
e al loro dio goloso non credere mai
E forse avevo diciott'anni e non puzzavo più di serpente possedevo una spranga un cappello e una fionda e una notte di gala con un sasso a punta uccisi uno smoking e glielo rubai
e al dio della scala non credere mai
Poi tornammo in Brianza per l'apertura della caccia al bisonte ci fecero l'esame dell'alito e delle urine ci spiegò il meccanismo un poeta andaluso - Per la caccia al bisonte - disse - Il numero è chiuso
E a un Dio a lieto fine non credere mai
Ed ero già vecchio quando vicino a Roma a Little Big Horn capelli corti generale ci parlò all'università dei fratelli tutte blu che seppellirono le asce ma non fumammo con lui non era venuto in pace
e a un dio fatti il culo non credere mai
E adesso che ho bruciato venti figli sul mio letto di sposo che ho scaricato la mia rabbia in un teatro di posa che ho imparato a pescare con le bombe a mano che mi hanno scolpito in lacrime sull'arco di Traiano con un cucchiaio di vetro scavo nella mia storia ma colpisco un po' a casaccio perchè non ho più memoria
Rich Girl Composer(s): Daryl Hall Performer(s): Hall & Oates; and various other artists
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway You can rely on the old man's money You can rely on the old man's money It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway Say money but it won't get you too far Get you too far
And don't you know, don't you know That it's wrong to take what is given you So far gone, on your own You can get along if you try to be strong But you'll never be strong 'Cause
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway You can rely on the old man's money You can rely on the old man's money It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway Say money but it won't get you too far Get you too far
High and dry, out of the rain It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain And don't you know that a love can't grow 'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live For the thrill of it all, oh
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway You can rely on the old man's money You can rely on the old man's money It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway Say money but it won't get you too far Say money but it won't get you too far Say money but it won't get you too far Get you too far
And you say You can rely on the old man's money You can rely on the old man's money You're a rich girl, a rich girl Oh, you're a rich rich girl yeah Say money but it won't get you too far Oh, get ya too far
The Smile I Live For Composer(s): Christine McVie Performer(s): Christine McVie
It took a lifetime to find you And now I want you to stay Oh, I don’t mind you can do anything You can love me night and day
When you are there Just to know you care Brightens up a starless night Your smile is all that I That I live for And I don’t know What I did before
Your smile Your smile Makes it all worthwhile Then you changed it around Don’t let your little baby down You were the only one Thought I had you on the run But now I guess it’s me Begging you- begging you
When you are there Just to know you care Brightens up a starless night Your smile is all that I That I live for And I don’t know What I did before
Your smile Your smile Makes it all worthwhile Then you changed it around Don’t let your little baby down You were the only one Thought I had you on the run But now I guess it’s me Begging you- begging you
Don't be fooled by what you see I'm just an ordinary man So many years I've sacrificed my needs So give the gentleman a hand I can make you look the other way I know exactly what you'll see It never ceases to amaze What you're watching is my dreams But oh if you want some more All you have to do is ask Oh you think you've seen it all But I always save the best for last I was alone until I learned The security of illusion I can't explain but you must observe The security of illusion But oh if you want some more All you have to do is ask Oh you think you've seen it all But I always save the best for last Now just look into my eyes I've found the way Through the confusion That's why I've lived my life Safe inside the security of illusion The security of illusion The security of illusion The security of illusion Oh if you want some more All you have to do is ask Oh you think you've seen it all But I always save the best for last Now just look into my eyes I've found the way Through the confusion That's why I've lived my life Safe inside the security of illusion The security of illusion The security of illusion I was alone until I learned The security of illusion I've found a home and it's safe and sound The security of illusion I can't explain the security of...
