Jaded Lover
Jaded Lover
Composer(s): Chuck Pyle
Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker
Well, it won't be but a week or two
You'll be out lovin' someone new
It must have happened a hundred times before
And I can see you been spreadin' yourself thin too
It's a lonely stage we been goin' through
Don't get up, I can find my own way to the door
Chorus:
Well, I can see you are an angel
whose wings just won't unfold
Tune up your harp; polish your old halo
Well the only kind of man that you ever wanted
is one that you knew you'd never hold very long
You're sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go

Could I Leave You?
Could I Leave You?
Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim
Leave you? Leave you?
How could I leave you?
How could I go it alone?
Could I wave the years away
With a quick goodbye?
How do you wipe tears away
When your eyes are dry?
Sweetheart, lover
Could I recover
Give up the joys I have known?
Not to fetch your pills again
Every day at five
Not to give those dinners for ten
Elderly men
From the U.N.
How could I survive?
Could I leave you
And your shelves of the World's Best Books
And the evenings of martyred looks
Cryptic sighs
Sullen glares from those injured eyes?
Leave the quips with a sting, jokes with a sneer
Passionless lovemaking once a year?
Leave the lies ill-concealed
And the wounds never healed
And the games not worth winning
And-wait, I'm just beginning!
What, leave you, leave you
How could I leave you?
What would I do on my own?
Putting thoughts of you aside
In the south of France
Would I think of suicide?
Darling, shall we dance?
Could I live through the pain
On a terrace in Spain?
Would it pass? It would pass
Could I bury my rage
With a boy half your age
In the grass?
Bet your ass
But I've done that already--or didn't you know, love?
Tell me, how could I leave when I left long ago, love?
Could I leave you?
No, the point is, could you leave me?
Well, I guess you could leave me the house
Leave me the flat
Leave me the Braques and Chagalls and all that
You could leave me the stocks for sentiment's sake
And ninety percent of the money you make
And the rugs
And the cooks
Darling, you keep the drugs
Angel, you keep the books
Honey, I'll take the grand
Sugar you keep the spinet
And all of our friends and
Just wait a goddam minute!
Oh, leave you? Leave you?
How could I leave you?
Sweetheart, I have to confess
Could I leave you?
Yes
Will I leave you?
Will I leave you?
Guess!

and various other artists
You've heard all about your raggy melodies
Ev'rything from opera down to harmony

But give a little listen to this
It goes Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing

Now ev'ryone was singing a Hawaiian strain
Ev'ryone seemed to have it on their brain
When Yaka Hicky Hoola Do was all the craze
Why that's the one that had 'em dazed
The object now is for something new
Something that will appeal to you
And here's a little melody that you will find
Will linger, linger there on your mind
It goes Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
That's a funny little bit of melody
It's so soothing and appealing to me
It goes Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing!
Now ev'rybody.......
Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
That's a funny little bit of melody
It's so soothing and appealing to me
It goes Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing!

Ja Da, Ja Da, Ja Da Ja Da, Jing Jing Jing
That's a funny little bit of melody
It's so soothing and appealing to me

These Dreams
These Dreams
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
Once we were lovers
But somehow things have changed
Now we're just lonely people
Tryin' to forget each other's names
Now we're just lonely people
Tryin' to forget each other's names
What came between us?
Maybe we were just too young to know
But now and then
I feel the same,
And sometimes at night I think
I hear you calling my name
Mmm-hmm-mmm these dreams
They keep me going these days
Once we were lovers
But that was long ago
We lived together then
And now we do not even say hello
We lived together then
And now we do not even say hello
What came between us?
Maybe we were just too young to know
But now and then
I feel the same
And sometimes at night I think
I hear you calling my name
Mmm-hmm-mmm these dreams
They keep me going these days

You are all I desire
You have captured me

Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could i have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you're here by my side
You are next to me
I want to hold you and touch you and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
Oh baby please
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me

Could I could I have this kiss forever

I don't want any night to go by
Without you by my side
I just want all my days
Spend being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby, oh by the way
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever

Jacques, A Penniless French Mouse
Jacques, A Penniless French Mouse
Performer(s): Captain Beaky
A penniless French mouse, called Jacques
In beret, boots and belted Mac...
Strolled idly down an empty drain
Protected against the wind and the rain
When from a grating in the street
A cigarette fell at his feet
And in surprise he cried, "Mon Dieu!
"It is my favourite brand, Disque Bleu"
"Ma foi - these are tres bon" he said
Inhaling deep, the end glowed red
A smell he thought was just a drain
Was gas escaping from the main
Le grande explosion! Au revoir Jacques
In beret, boots and belted mac...
And now he has gone to the great mousehole in the sky
Where mountains of bleu cheese stretch away
As far as the eye can see...
"Excuse moi?"
"Oui?"
"Which way to the Rocquefort, s'il vous plait?"

These Days (Dan Fogelberg)
These Days
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
I used to think of myself as a soldier
Holding his own against impossible odds
Badly outnumbered and caught in a crossfire of devils and gods
All I ever wanted to be was free
All I ever looked for was what was within my eyes to see
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
You used to be something I could believe in
How could you let me forsake myself so
You used to think of your life as a riddle with no answer known
All you ever wanted to be was free
All you ever looked for was what was within your sights to see
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
We used to live like there was no tomorrow
Tasting our trials a day at a time
Crying for justice and laughing at sorrow
Such innocent crimes
All we ever wanted to be was free
All we ever looked for was what was within our sights to see
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
Just like you and me
You know they're just like you and me

Could I Have This Dance?
Could I Have This Dance?
Composer(s): Wayland Holyfield; Bob House
Performer(s): Anne Murray
and multiple other artists
I'll always remember the song they were playing
The first time we danced and I knew
As we swayed to the music and held to each other
I fell in love with you
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner, then every night?
When we're together it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
I'll always remember that magic moment
When I held you close to me
As we moved together, I knew, forever
You're all I'll ever need
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

Jacques
Jacques
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Permíteme el atrevimiento de llamarte así
Al escribir esta balada urgente para ti
para ti
Jacques
Querrás saber por qué se me ha ocurrido
al cabo de los años transcurridos
recordar a aquel quijote belga
que escapó a Tahití
Jacques
Podría responderte simplemente porque sí
O que en la radio acabo de escuchar "Le Plat Pays"
Jacques, lo que sucede es que me han desgarrado el corazón
Y necesito hablarte como "Jef" necesitó
Tu canción...
Ella ya no está...
Pero eso qué más da
Pero eso qué más da
Lo malo es esta noche
de eterna soledad
Jacques, ne me quittes pas
Jacques
ya ves que no se trata de escribirle al Sr. Juez
y que mi drama es para que respondas: "qué idiotez
qué idiotez"
Jacques
si acudo a ti es porque busco a un amigo
para unas copas Y un "estoy contigo
y a esa falsa rubia consentida
que la folle un pez!..."
Jacques
Vayamos con Jaurés, Zangra y Fernand a la kermes
Y luego al "Amsterdam" a que nos hagan un francés
Jacques
pero han huido de este octubre frío de París...
tal vez estén volando entre las nubes junto a ti
aux marquises
Ella ya no está...
Pero eso qué más da
Pero eso qué más da...
Lo malo es esta noche
de eterna soledad...
Jacques, ne me quittes pas

Ecco, d'un tratto tu non ridi e ti mancan le parole

sei già di un altro (sei già di un altro)
per la vita legata a lui (sei già di un altro)
sei già di un altro (sei già di un altro)
Uuh... uuh...
Anche se asciughi quelle lacrime si vede che tu hai pianto, e allor
anche se cerchi di sorridere si vede che sei triste ancor
Noi ci vogliamo bene, che cosa importa se
se tu già sei, (sei già di un altro)
sei già di un altro (sei già di un altro)
l'altro uomo con cui già sei (sei già di un altro)
sei già di un altro (sei già di un altro)
Uuh... uuh...

Could I?
Could I?
Composer(s): Jerry Fuller; Gary Puckett
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap
Your only try at love was through before it began
So now you're frightened of the thought of losing again
Would I be true to you; girl, if there's any doubt
Just ask me anything your mind is wondering about
Could I chase the bitter taste
Left in your heart by someone who said goodbye
Could I love?
Give me love
I'm down on my knees, beggin' you please
Could I?
If I could get to you & prove the things that I say
You wouldn't compare me to the pain you knew yesterday
You've built a wall of ice I'm sure my lovin' will melt
Please let me hold you, love, instead of asking yourself
Could I chase the bitter taste
Left in your heart by someone who said goodbye
Could I love?
Give me love
I'm down on my knees, beggin' you please
Could I? ...

Jacob's Ladder
Jacob's Ladder
Composer(s): Bruce Hornsby
Performer(s): Huey Lewis & The News
I met a fan dancer
Down in South Side Birmingham
She was running from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand
Now he's trying to save me
We'll I'm doing alright the best that I can
Just another fallen angel
Trying to get through the night
Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob's ladder
Coming over the airwaves
The man says I'm overdue
Sing along, send some money
Join the chosen few
Well mister I'm not in a hurry
And I don't want to be like you
And all I want from tomorrow
Is to get it better than today
Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob's ladder

Le vent chasse un nuage
Qui fait sa route vers l'infini
La mer parle au rivage
Et je l'écoute et je m'ennuie
Je suis seule à comprendre
La chanson de l'oiseau qui passe
J'attends d'un cœur qui tremble
Celui qui viendra prendre sa place
Cou-cou-rou-cou-cou paloma
Cou-cou-rou-cou-cou paloma
Dis-moi si l'amour existe
Moi pour qui les jours sont tristes
Libre, mon cœur est libre
Celui qui m'aime me le prendra
Vivre, je voudrais vivre
Oui mais qui m'aime je ne sais pas
Je suis seule au rivage
Et je chante à l'oiseau qui danse
De nuage en nuage
J'ai pour lui la voix de l'espérance
Cou-cou-rou-cou-cou paloma
Cou-cou-rou-cou-cou paloma
Ce soir je ne suis plus triste
Je sais que l'amour existe
Cou-cou-rou-cou-cou

E io potessi farei qualcosa in più
ma qualcosa che dico io
una pastiglia da far prendere alla gente
che fa renda tutta quanta sorridente
Eh... bisogna far qualcosa
perche non si puo più
guardali tutti li con quelle facce sempre giù
L'autostrada che va verso il mare
ma quale mare e una raffineria
si va via solo per ritornare
con addosso qualche nuova malattia
Bisogna far qualcosa
perche cosi non va
non ci si vive più
con quelle facce sempre giù
Son vent'anni ma io lo canto ancora
non e protesta ma verita
E lui l'aveva detto state attenti
l'ha detto quasi due millenni fa... eh!...
Bisogna far qualcosa
ma che canzone e
e sto cantando io
e non cantare insieme a me!

Couchés Dans Le Foin
Couchés Dans Le Foin
Composer(s): Jean Nohain - Mireille
Performer(s): Mireille
and multiple other artists
Il ne faut pas que je vous cache
Que j'eus toujours la sainte horreur des vaches
Dans ma famille, c'est un tort
Hélas! le métier de toréador
N'a jamais été notre fort
J'aimerais mieux qu'on m'injurie
Qu'on me pende ou qu'on m'expatrie
Plutôt que de toucher un pis
Un pis de ma vie
Je suis ainsi, tant pis
Et c'est dommage
La fille de la fermière est charmante et on a le même âge
Par bonheur pour les amoureux
Il est au grand air d'autres jeux
Des jeux que j'aime davantage
Couchés dans le foin
Avec le soleil pour témoin
Un p'tit oiseau qui chante au loin
On s'fait des aveux
Et des grands serments et des vœux
On a des brindill's plein les ch'veux
On s'embrasse et l'on se trémousse
Ah! que la vie est douce, douce
Couchés dans le foin avec le soleil pour témoin
Vous connaissez des femmes du monde
Qui jusqu'à quatre-vingts ans restent blondes
Qui sont folles de leur corps.
Pour leurs amours il leur faut des décors
Des tapis, des coussins en or
De la lumière tamisée
Et des tentures irisées
Estompant sous leurs baisers
Des appas trop usés
Eh bien tant pis
Mais c'est dommage
Quand on est vigoureux, quand on aime et qu'on a mon âge
Tous ces décors sont superflus
Les canapés je n'en veux plus
Je ne fais plus l'amour en cage
Gardez, gardez vos éclairages
Couchés dans le foin
Avec le soleil pour témoin
Un p'tit oiseau qui chante au loin
On s'fait des aveux
Et des grands serments et des vœux
On a des brindill's plein les ch'veux
On s'embrasse et l'on se trémousse
Ah ! que la vie est douce, douce
Couchés dans le foin avec le soleil pour témoin
