J'Avais Rêvé D'Une Autre Vie
J'avais Rêvé D'une Autre Vie
English Title: I Dreamed A Dream - 1986
Composer(s): Claude-Michel Schonberg; Alain Albert Boublil; Jean-Marc Natel
First release by: Rose Laurens - 1980
J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie
Fantine:
J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie
Mais la vie a tué mes rêves
Comme on étouffe les derniers cris
D'un animal que l'on achève
J'avais rêvé d'un coeur si grand
Que le mien puisse y trouver place
Mais mon premier prince charmant
Fut l'assassin de mon enfance
J'ai payé de toute mes larmes
La rançon d'un petit bonheur
À une société qui désarme
La victime, et pas le voleur
J'avais rêvé d'un seul amour
Durant jusqu'à la fin du monde
Dont on ne fait jamais le tour
Aussi vrai que la terre est ronde
J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie
Mais la vie a tué mes rêves
À peine commencée, elle finit
Comme un court printemps qui s'achève
J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie
Mais la vie a tué mes rêves
À peine commencée, elle finit
Comme un court printemps qui s'achève
La nuit, la nuit, je sombre en mon corps
Et je m'abondonne à des sinistres corps à corps
La nuit, la nuit, pour deux pièces d'or
Quand ils font jaillir en moi leur pitoyable effort
Ils ne savent pas qu'ils font l'amour avec la mort

((Danish Version: T-Bone Med Bønner (Mr. President) - 1987))
Composer(s): Cindy Walker
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan - 1962
Doux cri de ma vie, doux cri de mes nuits
Doux cri de ma vie, ma voix te supplie
Cri de mon coeur, ne m'entends-tu pas la nuit, le jour?
Mon cri du coeur, entends-tu ma voix? Mon cri d'amour
Mon cri d'émoi quand tu fais souffrir, mon coeur qui geint
Mon cri de joie quand tu me chavires, tout près de toi, je suis bien
Doux cri de ma vie, doux cri de mes nuits
Doux cri de ma vie, ma voix te supplie
Mon cri d'espoir, lorsque je te vois, je suis heureuse
Mon désespoir lorsque tu t'en vas, mon cri d'adieu
Mon cri de foi, si je me trompais, adieu l'amour
Adieu la joie car je t'aimerai jusqu'à la fin de mes jours
Doux cri de ma vie, doux cri de mes nuits
Doux cri de ma vie, ma voix te supplie
Doux cri de ma vie, doux cri de mes nuits
Doux cri de ma vie, ma voix te supplie

Crossfire (Stevie Ray Vaughan)
Crossfire
Composer(s): B. Carter - Ruth Ellsworth - Chris Layton - Tommy Shannon - Reese Wynans
Performer(s): Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Day by day night after night
Blinded by the neon lights
Hurry here hustlin' there
No one's got the time to spare
Money's tight nothin' free
Won't somebody come and rescue me?
I am stranded
Caught in the crossfire
(I am) stranded
Caught in the crossfire!
Tooth for tooth eye for an eye
sell you soul just to buy, buy, buy
Beggin' a dollar stealin' a dime
Come on can't you see that I
I need some kind of kindness
some kind of sympathy oh no!
We're stranded
Caught in the crossfire!
Save the strong lose the weak
Never turning the other cheek
Trust nobody don't be no fool
Whatever happened to the Golden Rule?
We've got stranded Caught in the Cross Fire
We've got stranded Caught in the Cross Fire
We've got stranded Caught in the Cross Fire
Stranded
Caught in the Cross Fire
Help me!!

J'Avais Rêvé
J'Avais Rêvé
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
J'avais rêvé
Que les portes du ciel s'ouvraient à nos coeurs
J'avais rêvé
Qu'il tombaient sous nos pas une pluie de fleurs
Et nous marchions tête haute
Côté à côté
Vers le jour
Au devant de l'espérance
De la chance
Vers l'amour
J'avais rêvé
Mais un rêve n'est qu'un fantôme sans vie
Une fumée
Qui s'accrochent et se meurt au bout de la nuit
J'avais rêvé
Qui me laisse les mains vides car au jour
Meurt un rêve d'amour
Pour mordre dans la chair profonde
Des joies que peut donner ce monde
J'ai pris mes rêves à bras-le-corps
Mais comme j'ai serré trop fort
Elles sont mortes avant de vivre
Quand la nuit a fermé son livre
J'avais rêvé
Que les portes du ciel s'ouvraient à nos coeurs
J'avais rêvé
Qu'il tombaient sous nos pas une pluie de fleurs
Et nous marchions tête haute
Côté à côté
Vers le jour
Au devant de l'espérance
De la chance
Vers l'amour
J'avais rêvé
Mais un rêve n'est qu'un fantôme sans vie
Une fumée
Qui s'accrochent et se meurt au bout de la nuit
J'avais rêvé
Qui me laisse les mains vides car au jour
Meurt un rêve d'amour

This Will Be Our Year
This Will Be Our Year
Composer(s): Chris White
First release by: The Zombies - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
The warmth of your love's
Like the warmth from the sun
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come...
Don't let go of my hand
Now the darkness has gone
This will be our year
Took a long time to come...
And I won't forget
The way you helped me up when I was down
And I won't forget
The way you said "darling, I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there
And we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come...
The warmth of your smile
Smile for me, little one
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come...
You don't have to worry

Crossfire (Jethro Tull)
Crossfire
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Spring light in a hazy May
And a man with a gun at the door
Someone's crawling on the roof above
All the media here for the show
I've been waiting for our friends to come
Like spiders down ropes to free - fall
A thirty round clip for a visiting card
Admit one to the embassy ball
Caught in the crossfire on Princes Gate Avenue
In go the windows and out go the lights
Call me a doctor. Fetch me a policeman
I'm down on the floor in one hell of a fight
I'm just a soul with an innocent face
A regular boy dressed in blue
Conducting myself in a proper way
As befitting the job that I do
They came down on me like a ton of bricks
Swept off my feet, knocked about
There's nothing for it but to sit and wait
For the hard men to get me out
Calm reason floats from the street below
And the slow fuse burns through the night
Everyone's tried to talk it through
But they can't seem to get the deal right
Somewhere there are Brownings in a two - hand hold
Cocked and locked, one up the spout
There's nothing for it but to sit and wait
For the hard men to get me out

J'Avais Oublié Que Les Roses Sont Roses
J'Avais Oublié Que Les Roses Sont Roses
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Tiens un oiseau qui chante tiens un enfant qui joue
Une fleur qui s'invente un printemps pour deux sous
Tiens un soleil qui brille d'où sort-il celui-là
Des gens qui me sourient ça existe tout ça
{Refrain:}
J'avais oublié que les roses sont roses
J'avais oublié que les bleuets sont bleus
J'avais oublié tant de belles choses
J'avais oublié où avais-je les yeux
Une douce lumière s'enroule autour de moi
Mille mains familières me fêtent comme un roi
J'ai retrouvé ma vieille vie, jolis pulls délavés
A l'instant je m'habille et je repars au passé
{au Refrain}
Je me trouvais dans un vieux livre que j'ai relu cent fois
Un monde où il fait bon vivre quitte à vivre sans toi
Et toi qui n'est plus qu'une ombre dans le ciel bien trop bleu
Enfin je suis du nombre des imbéciles heureux
{au Refrain}

((Adapted from: The Unfortunate Rake - 18th Century (aka St. James Infirmary - 1928/1929))
Composer(s): Irving Mills - Jacques Chaumelle
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1965
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Le premier s'appelait Buddy
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Et l'autre s'appelait Eddy
Un avion surgissant de l'ombre
S'est écrasé dans un bruit d'enfer
Un avion surgissant de l'ombre
M'a privé de Buddy à jamais
Un taxi aux portes de Londres
Dérapant sur la chaussée mouillée
Un taxi aux portes de Londres
M'a fait perdre Eddy à tout jamais
Le néon s'est éteint trop vite
Et sur eux le rideau est tombé
D'autres noms maintenant s'inscrivent
Mais moi, je n' les oublierais jamais
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Le premier s'appelait Buddy
Hier encore j'avais deux amis
Et l'autre s'appelait Eddy

This Wheel's On Fire
This Wheel's On Fire
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1967/1975
Covered by multiple other artists
If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!
If your memory serves you well
I was going to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours...
But it was oh so hard to tell
But you knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!
If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favours done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory served you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!

Cross The Border
Cross The Border
Composer(s): Petula Clark; Siegried Fietz
Performer(s): Petula Clark
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
And if love shows us the way ... maybe
The desert will bloom again
I dreamed I was in Africa
beneath a cloudless sky
No food to feed my family
No strength in me to cry
IT was only a dream
thank GOD it won't come true
But the suffering I've seen
keeps haunting me through and through
But if love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way ... maybe
Their suffering will not be in vain
I've seen the people searching
for an answer to their pain
I can still hear them praying
for the rains to come again
And they're willing to learn
if we're willing to teach
Deep beneath the earth
there is water within our reach
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
and if love goes all the way ... they'll see
That land growing green again
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way ... maybe
The desert will bloom again

There’s gonna to be some changin’ round, Baby you’ve done let me down

Java Blues
Composer(s): Rick Danko; Emmett Grogan
Performer(s): Rick Danko;
Levon Helm; Nazareth
Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter
Asked if she could help in any way
I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial
If i was in the need of company
I asked her for some Java
Instead she brought a cup of chickory
A taste of Java, is like a volcanic rush
Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin too much
Costs many more than you care to pay
But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
the only pick-me-up that's here to stay
Java Blues ... coffee's got me
Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee
Java Blues ... well the coffee's got me
Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Drinkin' coffee till I die
Java blues
Won't you boil me water ... fill up my cup
You know it takes alot to keep me up
Down in Bolivia ... the people are insane
They want as much for Java as they do for cocaine
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay
Java Blues ... coffee's got me
Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee
Java Blues ... you don't know what it does to me
Java Blues ... coffee coffee coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Drinkin' coffee till I die
Java Blues ...

Ce souvenir, je te l'rends
Des souvenirs tu sais, j'en ai tellement
Puisqu'on repart toujours à zéro
Pas la peine de s'charger trop
Ce souvenir je te l'prends
Des souvenirs comme ça, j'en veux tout l'temps
Si par erreur la vie nous sépare
Je l'sortirai d'mon tiroir
J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien
Ça n'va pas plus loin
J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens
Vivement demain
Mon bonheur te ressemble
Tous les deux vous allez bien ensemble
J'te l'dirai jamais, jamais assez
Tout c'que tu fais m'fait d'l'effet
J'rêve les yeux ouverts, ça m'fait du bien
Ça n'va pas plus loin
J'veux pas voir derrière puisque j'en viens
Vivement demain
Un dernier verre de sherry
De chéri mon amour, comme je m'ennuie
Tous les jours se ressemblent à présent
Tu me manques terriblement...

Cross Over The Bridge
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin - George David Weiss
Performer(s): Patti Page
and multiple other artists
If you're a guy who's had a gal
In each and every port
And you've forgot the rules of love
That life has always taught
And if you broke as many hearts
As ripples in a stream
Well, brother, here's the only way
That you can be redeemed
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
If you have built a boat
To take you to the greener side
And if the boat is built
Of ev'ry lie you ever lied
You'll never reach the Promised Land of love
I guarantee
'Cause lies cannot hold water
And you'll sink into the sea
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
I know it isn't easy
To resist temptation's call
But think of how your broken heart
Will hurt you when you fall
'Cause some day you will find
That you are hopelessly in love
And she'll belong to someone else
As sure as stars above
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
