Élégie À Un Rat De Cave
Élégie À Un Rat De Cave
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Personne n'aurait cru ce cave
Prophétisant que par malheur
Mon pauvre petit rat de cave
Tu débarquerais avant l'heure
Tu n'étais pas du genre qui vire
De bord et tous on le savait
Du genre à quitter le navire
Et tu es la premièr' qui l'aies fait
Maintenant m'amie qu'on te séquestre
Au sein des cieux
Que je m'déguise en chanteur d'orchestre
Pour tes beaux yeux
En partant m'amie je te l'assure
Tu as fichu le noir au fond de nous
Quoiqu'on n'ait pas mis de crêpe sur
Nos putains de binious
On n'm'a jamais vu, faut que tu l'notes
C'est une primeur
Faire un bœuf avec des croque-notes
C'est en ton honneur
Sache aussi qu'en écoutant Bechet
Foll' gamberge, on voit la nuit tombée
Ton fantôme qui sautille en cachette
Rue du Vieux Colombier
Ton fantôme qui sautille en cachette
Rue du Vieux Colombier
Sans aucun "au revoir mes frères"
Mais on n't'en veut pas pour autant
Mine de rien tu est allée faire
Ton trou dans les neiges d'antan
Désormais, c'est pas des salades
Parmi Flora, Jeanne, Thaïs
J'inclus ton nom à la ballade
Des belles dam's du temps jadis
Maintenant m'amie qu'ta place est faite
Chez les gentils
Qu'tu as r'trouvé pour l'éternelle fête
Papa Zutty
Chauff' la place à tous les vieux potaches
Machin, Chose, et Luter et Longnon
Et ce gras du bide de Moustache
Tes fidèl's compagnons
S'il est brave, pourquoi que Dieu le père
Là-haut ferait
Quelque différence entre Saint-Pierre
Et Saint-Germain-des-Prés
De tout cœur on espère que dans ce
Paradis miséricordieux
Brill'nt pour toi des lendemains qui dansent
Où y a pas de bon Dieu
Brill'nt pour toi des lendemains qui dansent
Où y a pas de bon Dieu

Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Was ich auch getan
was ich auch gesagt
glaube nicht ein Wort!
Denk nicht mehr daran!
Oft sagt man im Streit
Worte, die man dann
später tief bereut
Dabei wollt mein Herz
ganz dein eigen sein
denn ich liebe dich
lieb nur dich allein!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bleibe nah bei mir
gib mir deine Hand!
Ich erzähle dir
von dem fernen Land
wo man keinen Zorn
keine Tränen kennt
keine Macht der Welt
Liebende mehr trennt
Wo auf weiter Flur
blüht kein Herzeleid
wo ein Treueschwur
hält für Ewigkeit
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Lass mich nicht allein!
Wenn du mich verlässt
stürzt der Himmel ein
Lass uns so wie einst
stumm am Fenster stehn
traumverloren sehn
wie die Nebel drehn
Bis am Himmelszelt
voll der Mond erscheint
unsre beiden Schatten
liebevoll vereint
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Glaube mir ich werd'
deine Sehnsucht stillen
werd' dir jeden Wunsch
dieser Welt erfüllen
werde alles tun
was ich hab versäumt
um die Frau zu sein
die du dir erträumt
Lass mich nicht allein
ich beschwöre dich
lass mich nicht allein
denn ich liebe dich!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!
Bitte geh' nicht fort!

If You Don't Want The Goods, Don't Maul 'Em
If You Don't Want The Goods, Don't Maul 'Em
Composer(s): Cottrell
Performer(s): George Formby
Now here s a little motto song I'd like to sing to you
Some of them are very old and some of them are new
But here's one in particular, it's funny in it's way
I wonder what we'd think if we heard our ancestors say...
If you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em, don't maul 'em, don't maul 'em
If the saying old and true, you don't like it when it's said to you
"Are you going to marry my daughter sir?" said pa to Johnny Doleham
John said "No", so pa said "Go, if you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em"
Now we all learned our history when we were kids at school
We went there almost every day to learn the golden rule
King Solomon was a gay old boy, he was a lively spark
And this is what you might have heard while listening in the dark...
If you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em, don't maul 'em, don't maul 'em
King Solomon had six hundred wives and he always used to call 'em
'Till one of them turned to him, and said "If you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em"
Now Smith went to a doctor once who lived in Harley street
He said "My man, those gallstones they will drag you off your feet
Just come inside my hospital at once without delay"
He did and when they chloriformed him he was heard to say...
If you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em, don't maul em, don't maul 'em
They were just about to operate on his appendix, what do you call 'em
When he popped up his head and to the doctor said "If you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em
Now once I took my holidays and went across to France
I hadn't been there since the war, so thought I'd take a chance
I strolled along a street that they call the Bois Boulogne
And when a French girl spoke to me I shouted out this song...
If you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em, don't maul em, don't maul 'em
Now while I was in Paris I stayed in a what do you call 'em
There were notices on every wall, if you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em
Napoleon said I love my troops and whatever may befall 'em
When Josephine stood up and said "If you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em!"

Down in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no

Dealin' in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone, oh no
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Out in the street...
Out in the street...
Out in the playground...
In the dark side of town...
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Rock it in the daytime
Rock it in the night...

If You Go
If You Go
Composer(s): Michel Emer; Geoff Parsons
Performer(s): Alan Dean
and multiple other artists
If you should go, if you should leave him alone
There'll be no spring or birds to sing
There'd be no sun to shine on him)
If you go, if you love me no more
If I know that you want me no more
Then the sun would lose its light
And day turn into night
Night without stars
Deep night without stars
If you go, if you leave me alone
If I know you're no longer my own
Winter would replace the spring
The birds no more would sing
This cannot be, stay here with me
My heart would die I know
If you should go
Winter would replace the spring
The birds no more would sing
This cannot be, oh, stay here with me
My heart would die I know
If you should go

If You Don't Want My Love
Performer(s): Paul Young
I have given you time for spending my hours
The fine things I bought for you
The many things I’ve done for you
But now you said we are through
I’ve given you lines explaining the weather
Many things I turned your way
I taught you all the things to say
But now now you said we are through
If you don’t want my love
I have given you love the days we were sharing
You were always on my mind
Please don’t leave me far behind
But now now you said we are through
If you don’t want my love

Electra
Electra
Composer(s): Phoebe Snow
Performer(s): Phoebe Snow
She loved a man who was sweet and lean
With a Madison Avenue scar
And wherever he went to get away
He took their luxury car
Where can you run
When the old house shakes
And it's too hot to make any plans
The sidewalks crack, and the whole world quakes
'Cause you know that you chose the wrong man
Electra, the spirits tease
High up a bluff
And down on her knees
She's looking down
At kingdom come
Come back Electra
Don't jump, don't jump!
With a camera, he caught the mood
When a pen he caught what she thought
And everything worth having he mistook
For something you bought
Where can you run
When the old house shakes
And it's too hot to make any plans
The sidewalks crack, and the whole world quakes
'Cause you know that you chose the wrong man
Electra, the spirits tease
High up a bluff
And down on her knees
She's looking down
At kingdom come
Come back Electra
Don't jump, don't jump!

First release by: Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home
Oh don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night
Cause we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight
If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won't)
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine, woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together it should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair when you can't see eye to eye, oh
If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won't)
If you don't know me by now (You will never never never know me)
You will never never never know me (ooh)

Election Day
Election Day
Composer(s): Nick Rhodes - Simon Lebon - Christian Lebon - Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Arcadia
Wild kind of look to the day
Opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away
The city's her slave he's cheating his mistress
She's moody and grey, she's mean and she's restless
So restless indeed
All over you as they say
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
Hi guys, by the way
Are you aware you're being illegal?
It's making your saviour's behaviour look evil
'scuse my timing but say
How do you fit in with this Flim Flam and Judy?
Maximum big surprise your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
Sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day
Stretching your love down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
'coz maybe we have more playtime than money
Maximum big surprise she knows something new
I pull my shirt off and play
Saving myself to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day
Byroads and backways a lover's chance
Down wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds becalm hands on skin
Carry further entangled strands
All sing
Time, saving some time to slip away
We could dance!
Shouldn't be asking...
Wild and scheming
Could be my Election Day
Maximum big surprise you know something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm sacred and bound to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day
Re-election Day

Gotta Have Rain
Gotta Have Rain
Composer(s): Max Bygraves
Performer(s): Max Bygraves; Eydie Gormé
If you didn't have rain
Then you couldn't have flowers
You couldn't have flowers
If you didn't have showers
Nowhere to swim
There'd be no babbling brook
There'd be no fish to catch
On the end of a hook
You couldn't wash your hands and face
You'd be as black as coal
All day you'd face the barren waste
Looking for a water hose
So you gotta have rain
Every now and then
To make the whole world shine
Then every day will turn out fine
Okay kids, let's see now
Oh, if you didn't have rain
You wouldn't have (ice cream!)
If you didn't have rain
You wouldn't have (a bat!)
If you didn't have rain
Then you couldn't have (fishes!)
And you couldn't have (a swim!)
If you didn't have rain
You'd be so awfully dirty
You'd be as black as ink
All day you'd face the barren waste
Looking for a nice cool drink
So you gotta have rain
Every now and then
To make the whole world shine
Then every day will turn out fine
If you didn't have rain
Then you couldn't have flowers
You couldn't have flowers
If you didn't have showers
Nowhere to swim
There'd be no babbling brook
There'd be no fish to catch
On the end of a hook
You'd be so awfully dirty
You'd be as black as ink
All day you'd face the barren waste
Looking for a nice cool drink
So you gotta have rain
Every now and then
To make the whole world shine
Then every day will turn out fine

We're gonna be elected
You and me together, young and strong
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected
Respected, selected, call collected
I wanna be elected, elected
"And if I am elected
I promise the formation of a new party
A third party, the Wild Party!
I know we have problems
We got problems right here in Central City
We have problems on the North, South, East and West

Detroit, Chicago
Everybody has problems
And personally, I don't care"

First release by: Gil Evans - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists
If you could see me now
You'd know how blue I've been
One look is all you need
To see the mood I'm in
Maybe then you'd realise
I'm still in love with you
If you could see me now
You'd find me bein' brave
I'm trying awfully hard
To make my tears behave
But thst's quite impossible
As I'm still in love with you
You'll happen my way on some memorable day
And the month will be May for a while
I'll try to smile, but can I play the part
Without my heart behind the smile
The way I feel for you I never could disguise
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes
I think you'd be mine again if you could see me now
You'll happen my way on some memorable day
And the month will be May for a while
I'll try to smile, but can I play the part
Without my heart behind the smile
The way I feel for you I never could disguise
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes
I think you'd be mine again if you could see me now

Eleanor's Castle
Eleanor's Castle
Composer(s): Allan Clarke
Performer(s): The Hollies
Eleanor`s Castle, boy, what a hassle
Why did you have to build yorr walls so high?
I`d put my arm around you, but a moat surrounds you
The only way`s to let your drawbridge down
Nights without number, I`m without slumber
Thinking of ways to breach your turrets tall
You`re an iron lady and someday maybe
You`ll forget to bar the iron door
Man was made to conquer, so the story goes
I wish I knew who said it he could help me `cause he knows
This situation`s gettin` way out of line
I can`t win if you won`t let me in
Ain`t it a sin? (it`s a sin she won`t let him in)
Shielded from my advances, there`s very few chances
I`m a one man crusade fightin` in vain
Rack my brains for ideas but it appears
Compared to you dragons are easily slain
Eleanor`s Castle boy, what a hassle
Why did you have to build your walls so high?
Nights without number, I`m without slumber
Thinking of ways to breach your turrets tall
Shielded from my advances, there`s very few chances
I`m a one man crusade fight` in vain

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
Then you reached the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take!
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'd know that I'm just tryin' to understand
The feelin's that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And I just can't get it back!

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words
of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Wenn Du nur sehen könntest
welche Bilder vor mir steh'n
Wie aus einem alten Stummfilm
durch den Spukgestalten geh'n
Da wohnt ein Geist tief im Schloßverlies
in Ketten ohne Licht
Du weiß es: das bin ich
Und niemand kann mich je befrei'n
niemand außer Dir, nur Dir allein
Wenn ich nur sehen könnte
welcher Traum einst vor Dir stand
War er wie die Romane
die man kauft am Zeitungsstand?
Als die Stelle kam wo es traurig wird
war ich die Hauptperson
und wußte nichts davon
Und weil der Schluß nicht fröhlich ist
ist dies ein Buch, das Du nicht weiterliest
So geh' ich fort wie ein Filmstarlet
dem man seine Rolle nimmt
weil man das Drehbuch kürzt
Und dieser Film war meine Chance
ich hätt' gezeigt was gutes ist in mir
Ich will offen sein zu Dir
Ich hab' nie geglaubt, daß uns etwas trennt
und ich gebe zu, ich kann's nicht verstehen
Sag, was haben wir falsch gemacht?
Das Gefühl ist fort, und ich finde es nicht mehr
Wenn Du nur sehen könntest
welche Bilder vor mir steh'n
Wie aus einem alten Stummfilm
durch den Spukgestalten geh'n
Da wohnt ein Geist tief im Schloßverlies
in Ketten ohne Licht
Schau mir bitte ins Gesicht
Wenn Du in meinen Augen liest
dann wirst Du seh'n: ich möchte nur versteh'n
warum Du nichts mehr fühlst
Ich hab' nie geglaubt, daß uns etwas trennt
und ich werde damit so leicht nicht fertig
Sag, was haben wir falsch gemacht?
Das Gefühl ist fort, und ich finde es nicht mehr

Eldorado
Eldorado
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Gens de partout
Sages et fous
écoutez bien la ballade
De celui-là
Qui s'en alla
Pour trouver l'Eldorado
Comme autrefois
Princes et rois
S'en allaient pour les croisades
Il a laissé
Tout son passé
Pour trouver l'Eldorado
Crinière au vent
Le mors aux dents
En folle cavalcade
Que cherchait-il
Vers cet exil
Là-bas en Eldorado?
Sur mon cheval
Sous les étoiles
Et le soleil en cascade
Pour que demain
Brille en nos mains
Tout l'or de l'Eldorado
Il a traîné
Comme un damné
De mirage en mirage
Il a vieilli
Jour après nuit
Sans trouver l'Eldorado
Mais la mort
Qui l'avait suivi
En fidèle camarade
Lui a dit: "Viens
Je connais bien
La terre d'Eldorado"
On l'a trouvé
Le front brûlé
Par le soleil et le sable
Sur le chemin
Qui va sans fin
Là-bas, en Eldorado
La nuit, parfois
Chante une voix
C'est son âme en ballade
Qui cherche encore
La poudre d'or
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado
