Ninety-Nine


Ninety-Nine
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



My mama always told me better than to play with a loaded gun
If I'd've just listened to her, she'd've never had a prisoner for a son
The picture's still in front of my eyes and the echo in my ears
When the jury said he's guilty and the judge said ninety-nine years

Oh, for ninety-nine years I'll watch the sunrise over that same old sea
Ninety-nine years and nothing but an empty cell for company
There's not very much that stands between me and the freedom I hold so dear
Just a thousand bars, a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years

I kissed my darling on her tender lips and they took me by the hand
I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat to the rock where the prison stands
The warden said as he locked the door I hope you'll like it here
Just make yourself at home, you're gonna be with us ninety-nine years

Oh, for ninety-nine years I'll watch the sunrise over that some old sea
Ninety-nine years and nothing but an empty cell for company
There's not very much that stands between me and the freedom I hold so dear
Just a thousand bars, a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years

I've almost forgotten what my real name is, been a number for so long
Making little bitty rocks out of great big rocks gets old as the days wear on
But I'll do my best for ninety-nine years, just to try to stay alive
'Cause the Governor said if I'd be good, I'd get out in ninety-five

Oh, for ninety-nine years I'll watch the sunrise over that some old sea
Ninety-nine years and nothing but an empty cell for company
There's not very much that stands between me and the freedom I hold so dear
Just a thousand bars, a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years

Quand Tu Chantes
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Martinho Da Villa
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Quand tu chantes {2x}
Tu ne sais pas pourquoi
Quand tu chantes {2x}
Quand tu chantes ça va {5x}

A l'instant du réveil
Pour des joies futiles {2x}
Pour la pluie le soleil
Et pour l'impossible {2x}
Il y a des matins
Plus mélancoliques {2x}
T'en fait pas trop pour la République
Il faut laisser passer la musique

Quand tu chantes {2x}
Même si ça ne va pas
Quand tu chantes {2x}
Quand tu chantes ça va
Quand tu chantes {2x}
Tu ne sais pas pourquoi
Quand tu chantes {2x}
Quand tu chantes ça va {5x}

Un jour pour l'amour éternel
Pour le tour du monde {2x}
Un jour pour les filles
Qui sont belles et la route longue
Et la route longue
Un jour où le temps qui passe
Pour un jour de fête {2x}
Pour chanter surprenant dans la tête
On n'a pas besoin d'être un vrai poète

Quand tu chantes {2x}
Tu ne sais pas pourquoi
Quand tu chantes {2x}
Quand tu chantes ça va
Quand tu chantes {2x}
Tu ne sais pas pourquoi
Quand tu chantes {2x}
Quand tu chantes ça va

Sem Açúcar


Sem Açúcar
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque & Maria Bethânia



Todo dia ele faz diferente
Não sei se ele volta da rua
Não sei se me traz um presente
Não sei se ele fica na sua
Talvez ele chegue sentido
Quem sabe me cobre de beijos
Ou nem me desmancha o vestido
Ou nem me adivinha os desejos

Dia ímpar tem chocolate
Dia par eu vivo de brisa
Dia útil ele me bate
Dia santo ele me alisa
Longe dele eu tremo de amor
Na presença dele me calo
Eu de dia sou sua flor
Eu de noite sou seu cavalo

A cerveja dele é sagrada
A vontade dele é a mais justa
A minha paixão é piada
A sua risada me assusta
Sua boca é um cadeado
E meu corpo é uma fogueira
Enquanto ele dorme pesado
Eu rolo sozinha na esteira

Quand Tu Danses


Quand Tu Danses
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë;
Gilbert Bécaud; Franck Gérald
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud; Georges Brassens



{Refrain:}
Quand tu danses, danses, danses devant moi
Je sens mon cœur qui bat
Au rythme de tes pas
Quand tu danses, danses, danses devant moi
Je sens la vie, la vie qui va
Et je pense, pense, pense que jamais
Jamais tu ne devrais t'arrêter de danser
Alors danse, danses, danse devant moi
Je t'en supplie, n'arrête pas

J'ai besoin ce soir de tout oublier
J'ai besoin de te regarder danser
La cadence,-dence, -dence- de tes pas
Me grise et je ne sens plus autre chose en moi
Qu'un immense, -mense, -mense, feu de joie
Brûlant mon corps de haut en bas !
Dans ma tête en feu
Je sens peu à peu
La folie qui m'envahit
Et me trouble les yeux
Et je ne vois plus
Que tes jambes nues
Sarabande de légende
Monde merveilleux
Tes yeux
{au Refrain}

L'assemblée à dévoré le veau gras
Et l'alcool commence à faire du dégât
L'alcool qui coule, coule à flots
Des corps qui roulent au fond des ruisseaux
Et tu danses, danses, danses devant moi
Je sens mon cœur qui bat, qui bat
Et du danses, danses devant moi
Je t'en supplie n'arrête pas
N'arrête pas!

Samstag Nacht


Samstag Nacht
Performer(s): Howard Carpendale



Da bei Dir brennt noch Licht
und von hier da kann ich rüber in dein Zimmer seh’n
In letzter Zeit bleibst du oft zuhaus, wenn and’re tanzen geh’n

Er lebt nicht mehr bei dir, und wie in jeder Nacht
steht dein Fenster auf, das Radio ist an
du gehst herum und schaust zum Telefon
und weißt doch, niemand ruft dich an

Samstag Nacht - und du hast nur deine Lieder
Die Sehnsucht kommt wieder in jeder Samstag Nacht
Du machst die Augen zu, tanzt einen Blues
niemand hat an Dich gedacht
Die Zeit, wo die Sehnsucht erwacht kommt in jeder Samstag Nacht

Und dein Wagen ist dort vor dem Haus abgestellt
doch du weißt nicht, wohin sollst du fahr’n
Du fühlst Dich so verraten jetzt
weil seine Freunde deine war’n

Du, ich kenn’ das Gefühl, wenn man langsam erkennt
ohne den anderen weiß man nichts zu tun
und am schlimmsten sind die Nächte dann
da bin ich so allein wie du

Samstag Nacht - und du hast nur deine Lieder
Die Sehnsucht kommt wieder in jeder Samstag Nacht
Du machst die Augen zu, tanzt einen Blues
niemand hat an Dich gedacht
Die Zeit, wo die Sehnsucht erwacht kommt in jeder Samstag Nacht

Oh - Samstag Nacht - und du hast nur deine Lieder
Die Sehnsucht kommt wieder in jeder Samstag Nacht
Du machst die Augen zu, tanzt einen Blues
niemand hat an Dich gedacht
Die Zeit, wo die Sehnsucht erwacht kommt in jeder Samstag Nacht

Self Control


Self Control
Composer(s): Stephen Vincent Piccolo; Raf Riefoli; Giancarlo Bigazzi
First release by: RAF - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul

You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control

Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes

A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows

A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself
believe it
That this night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control ...

Quand Tu Dors


Quand Tu Dors
Composer(s): Jacques Prévert; Christiane Verger
Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Barbara



Toi, tu dors la nuit
Mai, j'ai de l'insomnie
Je te vois dormir
Ça me fait souffrir
Tes yeux fermés
Ton grand corps allongé
C'est drôle, mais ça me fait pleurer
Et soudain, voilà que tu ris
Tu ris aux éclats en dormant
Où donc es-tu en ce moment?
Où donc es-tu parti vraiment?
Peut-être avec une autre femme
Très loin, dans un autre pays
Et qu'avec elle, c'est de moi que tu ris...

Toi, tu dors la nuit
Moi, j'ai de l'insomnie
Je te vois dormir
Ça me fait souffrir
Lorsque tu dors
Je ne sais pas si tu m'aimes
T'es tout près, mais si loin quand même
Je suis toute nue, serrée contre toi
Mais c'est comme si j'étais pas là
J'entends pourtant ton cœur qui bat
Je ne sais pas s'il bat pour moi
Je ne sais rien, je ne sais plus
Je voudrais qu'il ne batte plus, ton cœur
Si jamais un jour tu ne m'aimais plus...

Toi, tu rêves la nuit
Mai, j'ai de l'insomnie
Je te vois rêver
Ça me fait pleurer
Voilà le jour et soudain, tu t'éveilles
Et c'est à moi que tu souris
Tu souris avec le soleil
Et je ne pense plus à la nuit
Tu dis des mots toujours pareils
"As-tu passé une bonne nuit?"
Et je réponds comme la veille
"Oui mon chéri, j'ai bien dormi!
Et j'ai rêvé de toi comme chaque nuit..."

Mrs. Murphy's Chowder


Mrs. Murphy's Chowder
(Traditional)



Won't you bring back, won't you bring back, Mrs. Murphy's chowder
It was tuneful, every spoonful made you yodel louder
After dinner Uncle Ben used to fill his fountain pen
From a plate of Mrs. Murphy's chowder

Ice cream, cold cream, benzene, gasoline, soup-beans, string beans, floating all around
Sponge cake, beefsteak, mistake, stomach ache, creampuffs, earmuffs, many to be found
Silk hats, doormats, bed slats, democrats, coco bells, doorbells, beckon you to dine
Meatballs, fish balls, mothballs, cannonballs, come on in, the chowder's fine

Won't you bring back, won't you bring back, Mrs. Murphy's chowder
From each helping you'll be yelping for a headache powder
And if they had it where we are, you might find an Austin car
In a plate of Mrs. Murphy's chowder

Ice cream, cold cream, benzene, gasoline, soup-beans, string beans, floating all around
Sponge cake, beefsteak, mistake, stomach ache, creampuffs, earmuffs, many to be found
Silk hats, doormats, bed slats, democrats, coco bells, doorbells, beckon you to dine
Meatballs, fish balls, mothballs, cannonballs, come on in, the chowder's fine

Won't you bring back, won't you bring back, Mrs. Murphy's chowder
You can pack it, you can stack it, all around the larder
The plumber died the other day, they embalmed him right away
In a bowl of Mrs. Murphy's chowder

Ice cream, cold cream, benzene, gasoline, soup-beans, string beans, floating all around
Sponge cake, beefsteak, mistake, stomach ache, creampuffs, earmuffs, many to be found
Silk hats, doormats, bed slats, democrats, coco bells, doorbells, beckon you to dine
Meatballs, fish balls, mothballs, cannonballs, come on in, the chowder's fine

Quand Tu Dors Près De Moi (Charles Aznavour)


Quand Tu Dors Près De Moi
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Veran
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Oh! Que ma joie est grande et ma douleur profonde
Quand tu dors près de moi
Car le ciel et l'enfer un instant se confondent
Quand tu dors près de moi
Et lorsqu'en mon sommeil brûlant de mille flammes
Ton corps frôle le mien
Il s'infiltre en mon coeur usé jusqu'à la trame
Des envies de t'aimer plus fort
Quand tu dors près de moi

J'ai l'âge de mes joies
Venues du fond des siècles
Et mon coeur est un aigle
La nuit auprès de toi

Et la folie m'étreint et le désir m'éveille
Quand tu dors près de moi
Et ma nuit déchirée s'embrase et s'ensoleille
Émerveillée d'amour, émerveillée de toi
Tu fais l'éternité avec chaque seconde
Quand tu dors près de moi
Je deviens le mendiant le plus riche du monde
Quand tu dors près de moi

Seigneur De Guerre


Seigneur De Guerre
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Il est d'une grâce fauve
Il est tranquille et brutal
Silencieux quand il se pose
Entre Dieu et l'Animal
Sous la peau brillant dans l'ombre
De longs muscles de métal
Homme seul, homme sombre
Où est le bien et le mal

Noir comme le diable
Chaud comme l'enfer
Insaisissable
Seigneur de guerre

Rythmes forts
Juste avant le jour
Pour les morts
Qui ont le cœur lourd
Les tambours
Battent aussi pour
Ton amour

Soleils pourpres et chevaux noirs
Odeurs de cuivre et de peaux
Longue lame qui sépare
D'un seul coup le ciel et l'eau
Il viendra devant ta porte
Sans descendre de cheval
Et il faudra que tu portes
Deux bracelets de métal

Noir comme le diable
Chaud comme l'enfer
Insaisissable
Seigneur de guerre

Ce jour-là
Si tu l'aimes encore
Ce sera
Plus fort que la mort
Les tambours
Battent aussi pour
Ton amour

Homme seul
Homme de fer
Grand Massaï
Seigneur de guerre
Les tambours
Battent aussi pour
Ton cœur lourd

Quand tu dors près de moi
Tu murmures parfois
Le nom mal oublié
De cet homme que tu aimais

Et tout seul près de toi
Je me souviens tout bas
Toutes ces choses que je crois
Mais que toi, ma chérie, tu ne crois pas

Les gestes étourdissants
Etourdis de la nuit
Les mots émerveillés
Merveilleux de notre amour

Si cet air te rejoint
Si tu l'entends soudain
Je t'en pris, comme moi
Ne dis rien, mais rappelle-toi, chérie

Shotgun Slade


Shotgun Slade
Composer(s): W. Smith; Ralph Stanley
Performer(s): Ralph Stanley



Pa said, "Son, this land is yours"
Was his last words, I heard
"I'm here to say I'll die today
On a strength of my Pa's words"

Our leader stepped down to face him
Said, "Son, we mean no harm
We came today to cut a right-of-way
For the railroad through your farm"

"Pa said there'd be many like you
Who'll try to steal my land
Not to beckon it, but to call each bluff
With a shotgun in my hand"

"So, take your crew and leave here"
He then warned, the young lad said
The leader laughed and went on to work
And he shot our leader dead

Shotgun, that's what they called him
He was only seventeen
But Shotgun Slade with a gun in his hand
Was the meanest man I've seen

No-one else even raised a tune
Instead we all turned tale
The Sheriff didn't even bother
To put Shotgun in jail

The land ain't deeds and records
They searched all day till night
They all agreed to let him be
To Shotgun Slade goodbye

So today way out in Texas
There's a road that's still unmade
There's never been a choo-choo train
Cross the land of Shotgun Slade

Shotgun, that's what they called him
He was only seventeen
But Shotgun Slade with a gun in his hand
Was the meanest man I've seen

Shotgun, Shotgun
But Shotgun Slade with a gun in his hand
Was the meaniest man I've seen
But Shotgun Slade with his gun in his hand
Was the meanest man I've seen
But Shotgun Slade with the gun in his hand
Was the meanest man I've seen

Just a Little Lovin' (Will Go A Long, Long Way)


Just a Little Lovin' (Will Go A Long, Long Way)
Composer(s): Eddy Arnold; Zeke Clements
First recording/First release by: Eddy Arnold - 1948
Covered by multiple other artists



Just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way

Ever since time began, love has ruled the world
Eve and Adam set the pace and started in a whirl
I met you and now I know that you're the one for me
Come on back and you will plainly see

That just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way

I don't believe you really know how much that I love you
If you did you'd come on back and make my dreams come true
Your eyes, your lips, your loving kisses seem to linger yet
I'll forgive but please don't you forget.

That just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way

Quand Tu Es Là
((Adapted from: The Game Of Love (Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders) - 1964))
Composer(s): Clint Ballard Jr. - Franck Gérald
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan - 1965



Malgré les jours de pluie malgré les nuages
Qui s'amusent à me cacher les rayons du soleil
Je vois toujours un coin de ciel bleu
Aussi bleu que tes yeux
Quand tu es là là la la la la la

Malgré le vent trop fort qui bat nos visages
Et ce vent qui va encore pleurer cette nuit
Je vois toujours un coin de ciel bleu
Aussi bleu que tes yeux
Quand tu es là là la la la la la

Je ne peux plus me passer de toi
J'ai besoin d'être dans tes bras
Tout s'arrange aussitôt pour moi
Dès que tu es là

Malgré tous les ennuis malgré les orages
Qui menacent quelquefois l'horizon de ma vie
Je vois toujours un coin de ciel bleu
Aussi bleu que tes yeux
Quand tu es là là là là là là là

Sei Solo Un Uomo In Più


Sei Solo Un Uomo In Più
(French Version: Rien Qu'un Homme De Plus)
Composer(s): Amerigo Casella; Alberto Cheli; Murio Luberti
Performer(s): Dalida



Io non ne morirei caro amore moi
Perchè in fondo è vero, che non c'è cosa migliore
Di una notte d'amore senza troppe parole
E se vuoi farmi un favore no non parlarmi d'amore

Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più
Sei solo un uemo in più, sei solo un uomu in più

Non ti sei chiesto mai caro amore moi
Se ho bisogno anch'io di un amore vero
Senza il falso pudore che ti porti nel uore

L'immagine bianca di una donna
Che vive di un unico amore
Non è che mi faccia impazzire di gioia
L'immagine triste di un uomo
Che cerchi una donna fedele
Per dire al suo stupido orgoglio
Ti senti più uomo
Senza nessun rimpianto mi fai dire soltante

Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più
Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più

L'immagine bianca di una donna
Che vive di un unico amore
Non è che mi faccia impazzire di gioia
L'immagine triste di un uomo
Che cerchi una donna fedele
Per dire al suo stupido orgoglio
Ti senti più uomo
Senza nessun rimpianto mi fai dire soldanto

Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più
Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più...

Quand Tu M'Aimes


Quand Tu M'Aimes
English Title: When You Love Me
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Isabelle Boulay



C'est le vent turbulent
Soulevant tes dessous
C'est la pluie de printemps
Qui vient lécher mes joues
Quand tu m'aimes

C'est le soleil brûlant
Qui caresse ma peau
Et l'air léger du temps
Au souffle doux et chaud
Quand tu m'aimes

C'est en plus de tout ça
Mille choses encore
Qui sont à toi et moi
Et perturbent mon corps
D'une infinie faiblesse
Quand tu m'aimes

C'est ta voix qui se perd
Dans un râle amoureux
Qui fait vibrer ma chair
Et qui mouille mes yeux
De larmes de tendresse
Quand tu m'aimes

C'est le diable et l'enfer
Mêlés à tous nos jeux
C'est le ciel qu'est offert
A nous par tous les Dieux
Quand tu m'aimes

C'est l'éclipse et l'éclair
Qui allument nos joies
C'est l'écume des mers
Qui se meurt sur tes doigts

Quand tu m'aimes
C'est pétri par tes mains
Tous mes sens éveillés
C'es mon corps sur le tien
Nos souffle saccadés
Et nos gestes intimes
Quand tu m'aimes

Ce sont ces tendres cris
Et ces plaintes d'amour
Qui déchirent nos nuits
Et meurent au petit jour
Dans le plaisir ultime
Quand tu m'aimes
Quand tu m'aimes
Quand tu m'aimes
Mon amour

Sei Rimasta Sola


Sei Rimasta Sola
Composer(s): Mike DelPrete; Ricky Gianco
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano



Ora sei rimasta sola
piangi e non ricordi nulla
scende una lacrima sul tuo bel viso
lentamente, lentamente

Ora sei rimasta sola
cerchi il mio viso fra la folla
forse sulle tue piccole mani
stai piangendo il tuo passato

Ma domani chissà
se tu mi penserai
allora capirai
che tutto il mondo eri tu
la tua vita così
a niente servirà
e tutto intorno a te
più triste sembrerà

Ora sei rimasta sola
piangi e non ricordi nulla
scende una lacrima
sul tuo bel viso
lentamente, lentamente
lentamente, lentamente...

Quaaludes Again

Quaaludes Again
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein; Bobby Dare



She falls through the doorway
Rolls down the hall
She bounces off the sofa
And walks into the wall
It's easy to see that she buckles and bends
She's doin' quaaludes again

Quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
If you've got aurora
You know for shorra
She's your friend

She's doin' quaaludes again

(guitar music)

She fumbles and stumbles
And falls down the stairs
Makes love to the leg of the diningroom chair
She's ready for animals, women or men

She's doin' quaaludes again

Quaaludes again
Again
Again
Quaaludes again

If you've got a lemon, a dog and three women
Then she's your friend

She's doing quaaludes again
Quaaludes again

Dialogue between man and woman with riff in the background):

Jim Bridger


Jim Bridger
Composer(s): Leon Payne
Performer(s): Johnny Horton; Bev Munro



Once there was a mountain man who couldn't write his name
Yet, he deserves a front row seat in history's hall of fame
He forgot more about the Indians than we will ever know
He spoke the language of the Sioux, the Blackfoot and the Crow
(Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes, lift your glasses high)
As long as there's a USA, don't let his memory die
(That he was makin' history never once occured to him)
But I doubt if we'd'a been here, if it weren't for men like Jim
He spoke with General Custer and said, "Listen, Yellow Hair,
The Sioux are a great nation, so treat 'em fair and square,
Sit in on their war council, don't laugh away their pride"
But Custer didn't listen, at Little Big Horn Custer died
(Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes, lift your glasses high)
As long as there's a USA, don't let his memory die
(That he was makin' history never once occured to him)
But I doubt if we'd'a been here, if it weren't for men like Jim
There's poems and there's legends that tell of Carson's fame
Yet, compared to Jim Bridger, Kit was civilised and tame
These words are straight from Carson's lips, if you place such store by him
"If there's a man who knows this Godforsaken land, it's Jim"
(Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes, lift your glasses high)
As long as there's a USA, don't let his memory die
(That he was makin' history never once occured to him)
But I doubt if we'd'a been here, if it weren't for men like Jim
