J'Ai Épousé Une Ombre
J'Ai Épousé Une Ombre
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Un jour comme aujourd'hui
Ou les rues étaient sombre
J'ai épousé une ombre
Sans savoir qui elle était
Du temps où je me battais
Contre des ombres
Je l'ai vu sous la pluie
Dans l'éclair de ma lame
Ses yeux étaient de flamme
Au matin de cette nuit
J'ai dit tu seras ma femme
Elle a dit oui
Ses silences, ses absences
Sa défense, ma souffrance
Ma lame je voudrais qu'elle entre
Qu'elle entre
Jusqu'à la gare dans le ventre
Des hommes qu'elles regardent
Un jour sur cette terre
J'ai épousé une ombre
Une femme mystère
Passagère et solitaire
D'où vient-elle
Et qui est-elle
Mais qui est-elle
Une fille comme cette fille
Met le soleil à l'ombre
J'ai épousé une ombre
Qui me suit et qui s'évade
Prisonnière de nomades
J'en suis malade
Ses silences, ses absences
Sa défense, ma souffrance
Je ne suis pas dans ses rêves
Et j'en crève
Je les hais et les poignarde
Des hommes qu'elles regardent
Un jour sur cette terre
J'ai épousé une ombre
Une femme mystère
Passagère et solitaire
D'où vient-elle
Et qui est-elle
Mais qui est-elle
D'où vient-elle
Et qui est-elle
Mais qui est-elle

Thinking Of You (Lewis James)
Thinking Of You
Composer(s): Harry Ruby - Bert Kalmar
Performer(s): Lewis James
and multiple other artists
Why is it I spend the day
Wake up and end the day
Thinking of you
Oh, why does it do this to me
Is it such bliss to be
Thinking of you
And when I fall asleep at night, it seems
You just tiptoe into all my dreams
So, I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun
Thinking of you
Why is it I spend the day
Wake up and end the day
Thinking of you
Oh, why does it do this to me
Is it such bliss to be
Thinking of you
And when I fall asleep at night, it seems
You just tiptoe into all my dreams
So, I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun
Thinking of you

Country Baptizing
Country Baptizing
Performer(s): Gram Parsons & the Fallen Angels
Travelling down a country road on
a Sunday morning
Saw a crowd gathered at the creek
at a little country farm
I thought that I'd go closer so
I might see and hear
Why they looked so happy there
without a thing to fear
Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek
I heard an old and gentle voice
say right at the end
We're so glad to have you here
Welcome down, my friends
We've had a big revival, sir
down to the wheat
Now we're having a country baptizing
down at the creek
Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek
Well among them happy I'll be
Among that happy throng
See them all go air their sins
while they're at their own
They seem to be saying
with smiles on their face
Some day when I move along
to my resting place
Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek
Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek
Was a good old country baptizing
I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air
and every soul was clean
at a good old country baptizing
down at the creek

J'Ai Entendu La Mer
J'Ai Entendu La Mer
Composer(s): Christophe
Performer(s): Christophe
Châteaux de sable sont écroulés
La plage est sale d'amours fanés
La ville est pleine de place vides
La route de guet s'est endormie
{Refrain:}
J'ai entendu la mer
Souvent me fredonner
Tu sais je m'ennuie l'hiver!
Pourquoi passe-t-il l'été?
Bateau perdu cherche son maître
Qui lui rendra la liberté
Le port le tient dans sa cachette
Et lui promet de la retrouver
{au Refrain}
Châteaux de sable sont écroulés
La plage est sale d'amours fanés
Bateau perdu cherche son maître
Qui lui rendra la liberté
{au Refrain, 2x}

Thinking Of You (Edgar Broughton Band)
Thinking Of You
Performer(s): Edgar Broughton Band
When I first heard the news
I was thinking of you
And the words that were spoken
Were bent and untrue
It was a seemingly tragic affair at the end
And just when we all were about to pretend
I saw through his eyes as the sentence he spoke
He stood up his tongue was beginning to poke
All the fun from your head to make you feel dead
All the fun from your head to make you feel dead
But when I first heard the news
I was thinking of you
And the words that were spoken
Were bent and untrue
And it came to them slowly I seem to recall
Like the hate came to Hitler and the hope into Saul
They were all walking sidewards as they came through the door
As trivial as a tycoon in a travesty of law
Like natural they come, thine kingdom thine come
Like natural they come, thine kingdom thine come
So when I first heard the news
I was thinking of you
And the words that were spoken
Were bent and untrue
As the lepers were leaving in grey limousines
They were all dealing out their black barrister dreams
But they never once noticed what hung on his heel
Was a sign painted backwards and it said the word Real
But never you fear there wasn't a tear
No never you fear there wasn't a tear

Country Anthem
Country Anthem
Composer(s): Hoyt Axton
Performer(s): Hoyt Axton
Do you really think you'd recognise him
If he came walkin' up to you?
If he came back again, they'd hit him in the head
And nail him to the doorway of their lies
An' they would not blame each other
But another crazy brother
An' salute the flag an' mother when he died
And count the blood red silver in their minds
And count the lives of children like their dimes
An' what's a dime, one more time?
New release
Mmm mmm mmm
I'd like to sing our country's anthem
But I can't seem to make it ring
Old Frank Keyes, the man who wrote it
Obviously didn't sing
Mmmm

J'Ai Du Sentiment Pour Toi
J'Ai Du Sentiment Pour Toi
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
De la pointe de mes cheveux
Jusqu'à la pointe de mes bottes
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
J'te jure tout ce que tu veux
Même sur la tête de mes potes
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Le v'là j'te le donne en tas
Du turquoise de mes yeux
Jusqu'au glaçon dans ma flotte
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
J'veux bien jouer à ton jeu
Si tu t'déguise en jack-pot
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Le v'là j'te le donne en tas
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
C'est tout c'est fou
C'est tout c'qui n'se raconte pas
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
J'explose
Quand tu m'regardes comme ça
J'suis comme un jet en feu
Qui aurait perdu son pilote
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Même si j'suis pas de ceux
Qui ont des sanglots dans la glotte
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
T'en feras c'qu'tu voudras
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Oui c'est bon c'est con
C'est mon problème et pas le tien
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Je t'aime
C'est pas un mot qui m'vient
De la pointe de mes cheveux
Jusqu'à la pointe de mes bottes
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
J'te jure tout ce que tu veux
Même sur la tête de mes potes
Oui j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Est-ce que t'en as pour moi
Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Est-ce que t'en as pour moi
Oh! j'ai du sentiment pour toi
Est-ce que t'en as pour moi

Thinking Of You
Thinking Of You
Composer(s): A.H. Eastman - Fred Heltman
When the roses were in blossom, and the soft wind sang low
we were sitting in the gloaming, in the long, long ago
Then you told me how you loved me, that old story, ever new
and you kissed me, I remember, now I'm thinking of you
There's a faded little flower I have treasured with care
on my bossom it reposes, I am keeping it there
'T is a rosebud that you gave me, and the rose is ever true
I am thinking, fondly thinking, yes, I'm thinking of you
In the twilight, softly falling, at the quiet closing of day
tender memories I'm recalling, as the hours are passing away
and the shadows now are flitting, while the bright stars peep through
By the firelight I am sitting, and I'm thinking, dearest, of you

Counting
Counting
Composer(s): B. Lind
Performer(s): Liesbeth List
Now is the glimmering, spinning, beginning
of something I’ve prayed for
and counted the minutes
to be in the shadow of sheltering meadows of night
with you in my arms
This is the moment that poses to hold us
as you and I move, in a background of wonder
surrounded by countesses and closures of nocturne
and spoken music of joy
Counting times, I have stood at the foot
of your ivory tower and weeped
and called out your name by the hour
and counted on wings of my heart-strings
to carry this sound
I have counted on pleading
you’d see how I need you, come down
And now between twilight and midnight
you came to me
down in your gown of soft moonbeams and starlight
Bright as the evening that breezes has fenced us
and mastered against us
you’re here
And warm and mine
till the time when the dawn will awake me
the morning will shake me
the highway will take me
But now will the rains of the moon make me gaze
We will swim in the lustre of lingering streetlights
and count on the night to hold everything even
and count on forgetting that I will be leaving
when heaven has folded and then in the dawn
I’ll be gone
But now as the gardens of softening night-time
are blossoming slowly around where we are
you and I came together
and walked through the dreams of the stars
So, here where the sun of the deepening evening
is singing to me from the light in your eyes
we can count on eachother
to move to the beach of tomorrow
and know where we’ve been

J'Ai Deux Mains, J'Ai Deux Pieds,
Une Bouche Et Puis Un Nez
Composer(s): Franck Gérald;
Y. Ouazana; J.P. Festi
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Je ne pleure pas
Même quand tu m'en donnes envie
Je ne me plains pas
Même quand je reste seule toute la nuit
Je ne parle pas
Lorsque tu ne veux pas parler
A côté de toi
Je suis devenue la fille que tu voulais
{Refrain:}
Oh! Je n'ai plus de cœur
Je suis un objet
Une jolie fleur en papier découpé
Je n'ai plus de cœur
Je ne suis qu'un jouet
Qui d'un air moqueur ne fait que répéter
J'ai deux mains, j'ai deux pieds
Une bouche et puis un nez
Grâce à toi pourtant
Je pourrais renaître à la vie
Il est encore temps
Mais tu ne t'aperçois pas du temps qui s'enfuit
Et tant pis pour toi
Lorsque tu te réveilleras
Tu ne trouveras
Qu'une étrange mécanique
Qui te dira
{au Refrain, x2}

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
Composer(s): Gareth Mortimer
Performer(s): Racing Cars
Here we go
Round and round the floor
Together in time
Here we sit
It looks like this is it
Whatever
This time
It's making no sense
But we'll stay here till the end
Whatever
This time
They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?
Carousel
A crazy wishing well
Whenever you fall
It seems so long
Just like a marathon
The belle of the ball
It's making no sense
But we'll stay here till the end
Whatever
This time
They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?
They shoot horses don't they?

Performer(s): Ma Rainey
and multiple other artists
Layin' in bed this mornin' with my face turned to the wall
Layin' in bed this mornin' with my face turned to the wall
Trying to count these blues so I could sing 'em all

Graveyard, 'Bama Bound, Lord, Lord, come from stingaree
Lord sittin' on the Southern gonna ride all night long
Lord sittin' on the Southern gonna ride all night long
Downhearted, Gulf Coast - they was all good songs
Lord, 'rested at midnight, Jailhouse made me loose my mind
Lord, 'rested at midnight, Jailhouse made me loose my mind

To try to dream away my troubles, countin' these blues

J'ai Deux Amours
((English Version: Two Loves Have I (Perry Como) - 1947))
Composer(s): Georges Koger - Henri Varna
First recording: Joséphine Baker - 1931
Covered by multiple other artists
On dit qu'au delà des mers
Là-bas sous le ciel clair
Il existe une cité
Au séjour enchanté
Et sous les grands arbres noirs
Chaque soir
Vers elle s'en va tout mon espoir
J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Par eux toujours
Mon cœur est ravi
Ma savane est belle
Mais à quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m'ensorcelle
C'est Paris, Paris tout entier
Le voir un jour
C'est mon rêve joli
J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Quand sur la rive parfois
Au lointain j'aperçois
Un paquebot qui s'en va
Vers lui je tends les bras
Et le cœur battant d'émoi
A mi-voix
Doucement je dis "emporte-moi!"
J'ai deux amours...

They Say It’s Wonderful
They Say It’s Wonderful
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
They say that falling love is wonderful
It’s wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above, it’s wonderful
It’s wonderful, so they tell me
I can’t recall who said it
I know I’ve never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that’s known as romance
Is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say
To leave your house some morning
And without any warning, you’re stopping people
Shouting that love is grand, and
To hold a man in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say

Count Your Blessings And Smile
Count Your Blessings And Smile
Composer(s): George Formby; Harry Gifford; Fred E. Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby
Though plans may often go wrong, let `em hear your voice
You'll find that rhythm and song make the world rejoice
Make life go with a swing, laugh at trouble and sing
Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile
While you're playing your part, keep a song in your heart
Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile
Sing low, sing high, isn't it grand, beating the band
Who wants to die, oh what a happy land, hi!
Show them what you can do, make a hullabaloo
Tra-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, count your blessings and smile
You got to get together, swing it around
Now get together, swing it around
Make life go with a swing and a smile
Laugh at trouble and sing all the while
Now count your blessings and smile
While you're playing your own little part
You've gotta keep a song in your heart
Black puddings and tripe and trotters
Count your blessings and smile
Sing low, sing high, isn't it grand, beating the band
Who-who-who who wants to die, oh what a happy, happy land
Show them what you can do, make a hullabaloo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, ha-ha–ha–ha
Count your blessings, one–two–three
Count your blessings, four–five–six
Count your blessings and smile
Show then what you can do, make a hullabaloo
Haw-haw-haw-haw, ha-ha-ha-ha
Count your blessings and smile

J'Ai Des Goûts Simples
J'Ai Des Goûts Simples
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
J'ai des goûts simples
J'aime que le meilleur
Mais moi, j'ai pas l'profil du vainqueur
Mêm'dopé, j'suis pas près d'arriver
T'es au dessert, j'commence mon entrée
Comme un caddy d'grand' surface
Quand j'sers plus, tu m'laisses sur place
J'suis comm' un objet trouvé
Que t'oublies de réclamer
J'ai des goûts simples
J'aime que le meilleur
Faut toujours être au d'là d'la hauteur
J'aime l'argent, son parfum, son odeur
Même si j'en vois rarement la couleur
Comm' un produit de grand' surface
Périmé, je perds ma place
J'suis offert, parachuté
Aux pays sous développés
{Refrain:}
Faut m'donner.....
D'quoi rêver.........
J'suis pas un légume surgelé et assisté
Oui
Faut m' donner....
De quoi rêver......
J'ai l' droit à ma part de bonheur
J'ai des goûts simples
J'aime que le meilleur
M'essayer
Veut pas dire, m' adopter
J'ai des goûts simples, mais faut qu' y ait du charme
Tête de gondole, mais pas dans l' bas d' gamme
J'suis prêt à tout, même à défiler
Grand couturier, pas l' "prêt à porter"
L' marché est surestimé
Les Favoris surcôtés
Faut investir dans l' looser
Ça peut prendre de la valeur

They Say It's Spring
They Say It's Spring
Composer(s): Bob Haymes - Marty Clark
Performer(s): Blossom Dearie
and multiple other artists
When I was young I lived in a world of dreams
Of moods and myths and illusionary schemes
Though now I'm much more grown up
I fear that I must own up
To the fact that I'm in doubt of
What the modern cynics shout of
They say it's spring
This feeling light as a feather
They say this thing
This magic we share together
Came with the weather too
They say it's May
That's made me daft as a daisy
It's May, they say
That gave the whole world this crazy
Heavenly, hazy hue
I'm a lark
On the wing
I'm the spark of a firefly's fling
Yet to me
This must be
Something more than a seasonal thing
They say it's spring
Those bells that I can hear ringing
It may be spring
But when the robins stop singing
You're what I'm clinging to
Though they say it's spring
It's you
If poets sing
That when a heart sympathetic
It's merely spring
Then poets plights are pathetic
Though I'm poetic too
They say it's spring
For lovers, there's where the lure is
That evil thing
For which September the cure is
This, they are sure is true
Though I know
That it's so
That my fancy may turn in the spring
With the right
One in sight
One can find a perpetual thing
Did I need spring
To bring the ring that you bought me
Though it was spring
That wondrous day that you caught me
Darling I thought we knew
That it wasn't spring
'Twas you

Count Your Blessings (Instead Of Sheep)
Danish Title: Tæl Hver En Glæde - 1955
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance: Bing Crosby - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists
When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings
