"L'problème est entièrement dans ta tête", me dit-elle
"La réponse est facile si tu pensais logiquement
J'aimerai bien t'aider dans ta lute pour être libre
Y'a sûrement trente manières de quitter une fille"
Elle me dit que c'est pas mon habitude de m'imposer
Et "J'espère que ce qu'je vais te dire ne sera pas mal interprété
Mais enfin, je me répète, au risque d'être un peu directe
Y'a sûrement trente manières de quitter une fille
Trente manières de quitter une fille"
T' faufile par derrière, Pierre
Change tous tes plans, Jean
Y faut pas que tu les traque, Jack
Pense pas et vas t-en
Ou si elle te colle, Paul
Pas besoin qu'tu discute plus
Tu saute dans un tax, Max
Pense pas et vas t-en
T' faufile par derrière, Pierre
Change tous tes plans, Jean
Y faut pas que tu les traque, Jack
Pense pas et vas t-en
Ou si elle te colle, Paul
Pas besoin qu'tu discute plus
Tu saute dans un tax, Max
Pense pas et vas t-en
Elle me dit: "Ca m'ennuie tellement de te voir souffrir
J'voudrais pouvoir faire quelque chose qui te redonnerait le sourire"
Je lui dis: "Je suis très touché
mais voudrais tu m'expliquer encore les trente manières"
Elle me dit: "Dormons la dessus cette nuit tous les deux
Et je suis sure que demain matin, ce sera déjà plus lumineux"
Et puis elle m'a embrassé
Et je me suis dit "C'est pas la peine de s'angoisser
Y'a sûrement trente manières de quitter une fille
Trente manières de quitter une fille"
T' faufile par derrière, Pierre
Change tous tes plans, Jean
Y faut pas que tu les traque, Jack
Pense pas et vas t-en
Ou si elle te colle, Paul
Pas besoin qu'tu discute plus
Tu saute dans un tax, Max
Pense pas et vas t-en

I Only Meant To Wet My Feet
I Only Meant To Wet My Feet
Composer(s): Don Daniels; Terri McFadden
Performer(s): The Whispers; Freddie D.
Girl, how was I to know
When I first met you
All the changes I'd be going through
As helpless as a bird
Caught in your hurricane
And falling into your love I came, mmm?hmm?
Cause when I first met you
I felt there'd be a change
That if I tried your sweet love, baby
My life will never be the same, oh, oh
I said I only meant just to wet my feet
But you pulled me in where all the waters of love run deep
Oh, this good feeling must have been sent from above
Cause you've got me walking on wall to wall love
Oh, you got me walking
Givin' you, baby, my all and all
Sitting and waiting for your call
As helpless as a bird caught in your hurricane
And falling into your love I came, oh, oh
I said, I said I only meant just to wet my feet
But you pulled me in where all the waters of love run deep
Oh, this good feeling must have been sent from above
Cause you've got me walking on wall to wall love
Oh, you got me walking
I said I only meant just to wet my feet
But you pulled me in where all the waters of love run deep
Oh, this good feeling

We mogen niet meedoen met Big Brother en Idool
Of met een wedstrijd voor piano of viool
En uit de Wetstraat worden we verdreven
Want we zijn vijftig plus en afgeschreven
We zijn niet geschikt als presentator op tv
En ook bij miss-verkiezingen spelen we niet mee
En onze jobs worden aan snotapen gegeven
Want we zijn vijftig plus en afgeschreven
vijftig plus en afgeschreven
Maar we kunnen nog springen
We kunnen nog swingen
Alleen gaan die dingen
Niet meer zo snel
We kunnen nog rijen
En ja,we kunnen nog vrijen
We voelen ons blij in
ons rimpelig vel
We kunnen nog shaken
Knolselder kweken
En onze hypotheken
Zijn al lang afbetaald
We kunnen nog reizen
We kunnen nog blij zijn
Al doet onze rug pijn
En worden we kaal
Michel Verschueren, Paul Van Himst en Luc Beaucourt
En ook Jaak Gabriels is nog niet op zijn retour
We zijn dynamisch en lang niet uitgeblust
Ja, we zijn vijftig plus
En ook Will Tura is nog lang niet met pensioen
Boogie Boy schept nog alle dagen poen
We zijn dynamisch en we vinden het leven o zo heerlijk
Want we zijn vijftig plus en onontbeerlijk
vijftig plus en onontbeerlijk
We kunnen nog springen
We kunnen nog swingen
Alleen gaan die dingen
Niet meer zo snel
We kunnen nog rijen
En ja,we kunnen nog vrijen
We voelen ons blij in
ons rimpelig vel
We kunnen nog shaken
Knolselder kweken
En onze hypotheken
Zijn al lang afbetaald
We kunnen nog reizen
We kunnen nog blij zijn
Al hebben we rugpijn
Of een andere kwaal

First performance by: Dick Powell - 1934

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you
Sha bop sha bop
Are the stars out tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all dissappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

Er ist noch immer der, der er schon immer war
Wir sind noch immer sowas wie ein gutes Paar
Und dabei wird es mir zum ersten Male klar
Man braucht gute Gruende, um zu gehen
Ich fühle mich zurückversetzt in jene Zeit
Erst wenn das alte hin war, gab's ein neues Kleid
Nun sitz' ich da und warte auf den großen Streit
Denn man braucht gute Gruende, um zu gehen
Ich möchte gern' raus hier
ich halt' das nicht aus hier
Ich kann dieses Haus hier
schon lang' nicht mehr sehen
Denn wie ich's auch drehe
ich taug' nicht zur Ehe
Denn ich geh', wenn ich gehe
gar nicht, um fremd zu gehen
gar nicht, um fremd zu gehen
Wie kannst Du sagen, dass ich nicht die Alte bin?
Wie kannst Du fragen, wo ist uns're Liebe hin?
So viel and're Möglichkeiten wären drin
Doch keine Gründe, um zu gehen
Ich gäbe viel dafür, wenn Du darüber lachst
Ich mach' mir ein paar Sorgen
die Du Dir nicht machst
Ich blieb' auch hier
damit Du nicht alleine wachst
Doch gib mir gute Gründe, um zu gehen
Ich möchte gern' raus hier
ich halt' das nicht aus hier
Ich kann dieses Haus hier
schon lang' nicht mehr sehen
Denn wie ich's auch drehe
ich taug' nicht zur Ehe
Denn ich geh', wenn ich gehe
gar nicht, um fremd zu gehen
gar nicht, um fremd zu gehen

Performer(s): Abbey Lincoln
and multiple other artists
I was out promenadin'
And high hopes was fadin'
That dreams never really come true
When up jumped Spring...time
I got a look at you
All at once it was heady
A gaze long and steady
Made sounds of the patter grow dim
And up jumped Spring...time
And love came on in
Now my heart wants to cheer
Life's sweet promise is here
And love is a lovely thing
And we're sweethearts together
Like bird and the feather
Our love is as free as the wind
'Cause up jumped Spring...time
So, hello my friend
Now my heart wants to cheer
Life's sweet promise is here
And love is a lovely thing
And we're sweethearts together
Like bird and the feather
Our love is as free as the wind
'Cause up jumped Spring...time
So, hello my friend

Earthquake
Earthquake
Composer(s): Roky Erickson - Tommy Hall
First release by: The 13th Floor Elevators - 1967
The sound of the earthquake
The rhythms that you make
Are makin' my head shake in two
Magnitized by you
Your love will pull me through
You pull through earth and stone
You pull through flesh and bones
The sounds of the earthquake
The movements that you make
Are shakin' my head right in two
You know I was never leaving
In each other, we're believin'
Lust will never catch us grieving
Along the way we command it to stay
Everytime our fate is taken
All around the ground is breakin'
We're safe!
it's the love we're makin'
It won't fly apart from the beat of our heart
Like the ground and the sound of the earthquake
And the rhythms that you make
You're makin' it shakes my head in two
Rivers, waves they burst and pull
The pilot's ways beneath our oars
Canyons, mountain we just swore
We keep our cool inside heart
Through the massive walls that hit us
All this power will never quit us
No result can ever split us in two
The sound of the earthquake
The exchanges that we make
are takin' my head right in two
Mmmmmmmmmhmmmmmm!
The sounds!
You know I was never leaving
In each other, we're believin'
Lust will never catch us grieving
Along the way we command it to stay
Everytime our fate is taken
All around the ground is breakin'
We're safe! in the love we're makin'
It won't fly apart from the beat of our heart
Like the ground and the sound of the earthquake
and the rhythms that you make
You're makin' it shakes my head in two
Magnitized by you
Your love will pull me through
You pull through earth and stone
You pull through flesh and bones
The sounds of the earthquake
And the rhythms that you make
Are shakin' my head right in two
Right in two
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmm!
The sounds of...
Yeah!

Ma page est vierge
Je suis devant
Il me faut écrire un roman
Et je gamberge
Me tiens le front
En cherchant une inspiration
Si dans une heure
J'ai pu noircir quelques feuillets
Mon éditeur
Pourra me consentir un prêt
Que ma concierge
Guette déjà
Car mon loyer
N'est pas payé
Depuis six mois
Je me concentre
Mais rien ne vient
Et je suis mangé par la faim
Car dans mon ventre
Au désespoir
Il n'y a pas même un café noir
J'ai beau chercher
Comment faire un repas gratuit
Dans le quartier
Je n'obtiens plus aucun crédit
Et quand je rentre
Chez eux parfois
Les commerçants
Sont menaçants
Dès qu'ils me voient
Muse ma reine
Ma tendre amie
Mon doux cœur et mon pur esprit
Mets-moi en veine
Je suis à court
Je t'en prie, viens à mon secours
Donne-moi donc
Trois personnages et un décor
Qui connaîtront
La vie, l'amour et puis la mort
Que ça devienne un best-seller
Qui m'offre un jour
Et le Goncourt
Et l'habit vert
Mon cœur bat vite
Ça y est, je crois
Mon roman s'écrit malgré moi
Quand je cogite
Ma plume court
J'en oublie tout ce qui m'entoure
Je suis génial
J'ai fini l'œuvre en une nuit
Le point final
Est au bas de mon manuscrit
Je sollicite
Mon éditeur
Qui m'éconduit
Avec mépris
Ah! Quel malheur
Dès lors je sombre
Dans la folie
Et je dis adieu à la vie
Dans la pénombre
Sans oraison
Je me fais un trou dans le front
Je vois d'en haut
Les gens s'arracher mes bouquins
Souvent il faut
Mourir pour devenir quelqu'un
Mais comme une ombre
Souvent la nuit
Je reviendrai
Je le promets
Et sans répit
Je ferai peur
Aux éditeurs
Toutes les nuits
Je ferai peur
Aux éditeurs
Toutes les nuits

They say that love's a gentle thing
To me brought only pain
Since the only man I ever loved
Is gone on the morning train
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life
Well the train pulled out
The whistle blew
With a long and lonesome moan
He's gone, he's gone
Like the morning dew
And left me all alone
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life
Well there's many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the clouds design
There's many a change in the youg girl's heart
But never a change in mine
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life

Performer(s): Sammy Davis Jr.
Earthbound, my heart was Earthbound
Til I looked into your eyes
I found my heart was Earthbound
Til you took it to the skies
I felt your arms around me
And I was safe and warm in your embrace
Suddenly, the change that bound me
Were gone and I was soaring into space
I thought happiness missed me
But you changed my world around
Earthbound until you first kissed me
And then in your arms I became Heavenbound
(I thought happiness missed me)
(But you changed my world around))
Earthbound until you first kissed me
And then in your arms I became Heavenbound

Não posso ficar , não posso ficar

Minha mãe não dorme enquanto eu não chegar
Sou filho único
Tenho minha casa pra olhar
Não posso ficar...

I Never Thought It Peculiar
Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart
Performer(s): The Monkees
I never thought it peculiar
That you never gave me a smile
I wasn't socially suited
To make it worth your while
Oh no and I never thought it peculiar
That my heart always beat like a drum
Each time I would see you walk by me
You were as pretty as they come
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep
And wrote on the card "I love you"
I don't know why but I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me too
So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time
And I don't think it's terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep.
And wrote on the card "I love you"
I don't know why but I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me too

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we’ve shed before
Did you ever stop this notice
This crying earth this we make sure?

What have we done to the world
Look what we’ve done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...

Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this we make sure?

Trem Das Cores
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; Quarteto em Cy
A franja da encosta
Cor de Laranja
Capim rosa chá
O mel desses olhos luz
Mel de cor ímpar
O ouro ainda não bem verde da serra
A prata do trem
A lua e a estrela
Anel de turquesa
Os átomos todos dançam
Madruga
Reluz neblina
Criancas cor de romã
Entram no vagão
O oliva da nuvem chumbo
Ficando
P'ra trás da manhã
E a seda azul do papel
Que envolve a maçã
As casas tão verde e rosa
Que vão passando ao nos ver passar
Os dois lados da janela
E aquela num tom de azul
Quase inesistente azul que não há
Azul que é pura memória de algum lugar
Teu cabelo preto
Explícito objeto
Castanhos lábios
Ou p'ra ser exato
Lábios cor de açaí
E aqui trem das cores
Sabe os projetos
Tocar na central
E o céu de um azul
Celeste celestial

I Never Met Colette
I Never Met Colette
Performer(s): Albie Wycherley
I used to hang around with our kid
We both thought Elvis was the one
Though he was shy, he was ready
I guess he knew his time would come
He used to work down on the tug boats
When Billy played his guitar
And when he sang his songs to Margo
She told him that he'd be a star
But I never met Colette
Did she stand him up? That's how it seems
I never met Colette
So was she only ever a dream?
He made the charts, he made the movies
He'd often run and hide away
To sit and wonder at the wild life
Or simply watch the horses play
When Jealousy became a classic
It was a favourite at the Loc
Now paradise is where you'll find him
He was the gentle king of rock
But I never met Colette
Did she stand him up? That's how it seems
I never met Colette
So was she only ever a dream?
