Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Et mon coeur s’habille de noir
Ce soyeux cortège
Tout en larmes blanches
L’oiseau sur la branche
Pleure le sortilège
“Tu ne viendras pas ce soir”
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège
Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Tout est blanc de désespoir
Triste certitude
Le froid et l’absence
Cet odieux silence
Blanche solitude
“Tu ne viendras pas ce soir”
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège

Six Feet Of Snow
Six Feet Of Snow
Composer(s): Keith Godchaux; Lowell George
Performer(s): Little Feat; Souled American
Six feet of snow
Coming through my radio
It's raining in stilettos
From here clear down to Mexico
My hands are numb
From hanging on that steering wheel
They're frozen tight
Hope the wind don't blow me off the road tonight
Don't you know the ice and snow
Is sneaking in through my window
Don't you know how much I hate to be so cold
And so alone
I'm coming home
If it wasn't for the lines that wind side by side
I'd be lying next to her
Next to her tonight
Sweet New Orleans
That's where my girl, she waits for me
Hair so long and eyes so green
She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Don't you know the ice and snow
Is sneaking through this boy's window
Don't you know how much I hate to be so cold
And so alone
I'm coming home
If it wasn't for the lines that wind side by side
I'd be lying next to her
Next to her tonight

Look For A Star
Look For A Star
Composer(s): Tony Hatch
Performer(s): Garry Mills
and multiple other artists
When life doesn't seem worth the living
And you don't really care who you are
When you feel there is no one beside you
Look for a star
When you know you're alone and so lonely
And your friends have traveled afar
There is someone waiting to guide you
Look for a star
Oh, everyone has a lucky star
That shines in the sky up above
If you wish on a lucky star
You're sure to find someone to love
A rich man man, a poor man, a beggar
No matter whoever you are
There's a friend who's waiting to guide you
Look for a star
A rich man, a poor man, a beggar
No matter whoever you are
There's a friend who's waiting to guide you
Look for a star

Six Days On The Road
Six Days On The Road
(French Version: Six Jours Sur La Route - 1975)
Composer(s): Earl Green; Carl Montgomery
First release by: Dave Dudley - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh
Rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard
I've got my diesel wound up
And she's running like never before
There's a speed zone ahead, all right
I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
I got ten forward gears
And a Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills
And my eyes are open wide
I just passed a 'Gimmy' and a 'White'
I've been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well, it seems like a month
Since I kissed my baby good-bye
I could have a lot of women
But I'm not like some other guys
I could find one to hold me tight
But I could never believe that it's right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
I.C.C. is checking on down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind
But nothing bothers me tonight
I can dodge all the scales all right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well my rig's a little old
But that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from her stack
And the smoke's rolling black as coal
My hometown's coming in sight
If you think I'm happy your right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Look Before You Leap
Look Before You Leap
Composer(s): Dave Clark - Lenny Davidson
Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five
You got to look before you leap
There's heartaches around every corner
You got to look before you leap
There's heartaches around every corner
Well, one fine day I met this girl
She was oh so fine
Well she said 'Boy, I'm gonna love love love you
For a long long time'
Now I said 'Wait... wait... wait... wait...'
You got to look before you leap
There's heartaches around every corner
You got to look before you leap
There's heartaches around every corner
Well, she said 'Right, I'm gonna prove you're wrong
Just you wait and see
Now take my hand and look into my eyes
And you'll disagree'
But I said 'Now, wait... wait.... wait... wait...'
You got to look before you leap
There's heartaches around every corner
You got to look before you leap
There's heartaches around every corner
Now that she has seen the light
It was understood
Cause the very next day she walked away with someone else
Like I knew she would
So I said 'Now, look... look... look... look...'
You got to look before you leap, believe me baby
There's heartaches around every corner
You got to look before you leap, I'm telling you now
There's heartaches around every corner
So look... look... look before you leap

Sitting On Top Of The World (The Pogues)
Sitting On Top Of The World
Composer(s): Jem Finer; James Fearnley; Terry Woods
Performer(s): The Pogues
Well it's been a long day but I don't like to moan
It's the middle of summer and I'm chilled to the bone
THere's holes in my shoes where the rain comes in
I'm sitting on top of the world
Walking in the shadows of empty office blocks
I was talking to a stranger and he's on the rocks
Down on the pavement living in a box
I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no can't anybody see
It's been a bad day and I want a little peace
Oh no won't you please help me
I want to lie down but there's no beds free
Down on the corner there's starry eyed preachers
Rattling cans and pimping Jesus
There's madmen on boxes makig speeches
I'm sitting on top of the world
You can't sit in the sunshine or go out after dark
There's dogs on the loose acting like sharks
There's psychos on the streets burning winos in the park
I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no I wish I was gone
I want to get going before too long
Oh no I want to leave town
But I can't drive my car 'cause they put it in the pound
The masters of industry are killing for oil
There's poison in the air the water and the soil
We're all turning mutant they're counting up their spoils
I'm sitting on top of the world
I turn on the TV and it makes me want to cry
There's killing and there's torture there's destruction and there's lies
And our leaders talk rubbish and more people die
I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no I can't take anymore
I'm shaking all over and my nerves are all raw
Oh no my head's a little sore
I want to get out but I can't find the door

Covered by multiple other artists
Was all the summer, and all the fall
Just trying to find my little all in all
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
An' you come runnin', holdin' up your hand
Can't get me a woman, cranky you can get a man
But now you're gone, and now I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry or cry in vain
But now she's gone, now I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Went to the station, down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train, worked and got to home
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me oh say goodbye
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Retour (Henri Dès)
Retour
Composer(s): Henri Dès
First performance by: Henri Dès - 1970
Toi qui m'attends au moins toutes les nuits
Et moi qui prends le train pour l'Italie
J'y resterai dix jours, ni trop long ni trop court
C'est un peu loin, je sais, mais tiens-toi bien
À mon retour, j'aurai, dans un écrin
Les photographies de mes p'tites amies
Et l'Italie vaudra bien quelques nuits
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Toi qui as l'âme sœur mieux qu'une sœur
Et moi qui joue carreau avec ton cœur
Je me fais l'affaire, pour les Angleterres
C'est un peu loin, je sais, mais tiens-toi bien
À mon retour, j'aurai, dans un écrin
Deux-trois galipettes et quelques bouclettes
Et ta douleur vaudra bien mon ardeur
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Toi qui donnes l'amour mieux qu'une mère
Et moi qui fais le sourd, comme on prend l'air
J'pars à la conquête de toutes les minettes
Ça n'est pas rien, je sais, mais tiens-toi bien
À mon retour, j'aurai, dans un écrin
Une grande expérience, tu peux m'faire confiance
Et notre amour vaudra bien un détour
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Toi qui fermes les yeux sur mon absence
Toi qui parles si peu, toi la clémence
Je sais qu'entre toutes, au bout de mes routes
Je garderai pour toi, au fond du cœur
Une place de choix, comme une fleur
Et puis une bagouse, qui f'ra des jalouses
Et ton amour vaudra bien mon retour
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...

Look At Us
Composer(s): Max D. Barnes - Vince Gill
Performer(s): Vince Gill
Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other
If you want to see
How true love should be
then just look at us
Look at you
Still pretty as a picture
look at me
Still crazy over you
Look at us
Still believin' in forever
Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other
In a hundred years from now
I know without a doubt
They'll all look back and wonder how
We made it all work out
Chances are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
They'll just look at us

Sitting On A Cloud
Sitting On A Cloud
Composer(s): Ralph Butler; Noel Gay
Performer(s): Leslie Douglas; Jack Simpson & His Sextette
I’m sitting on a cloud that’s silver lined
Feeling in a joyful frame of mind
Through the blue I see a view
A lovely world where dreams come true
I’m living in a dream the whole day long
Singing to myself a cheer-up song
A peaceful mind, my cares behind
I’m on a cloud that’s silver lined
Let me tell you right away
Exactly how I get this way
Why I’m happy, why I’m gay
Here’s the why, because today
I’m sitting on a cloud, I don’t know where
But as it’s silver lined, well I don’t care
Here’s all I want to do
Go sitting on a cloud with you

Look At The Wood
Look At The Wood
Composer(s): Grace Slick - Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner
Look at the wood and the way he carves it
Must have taken him years
I asked him the price and he said it was free
And I couldn't believe my ears
Tell me old man how long have you lived
To have such amazing talent
I'm twenty years short of a century
And the best years are in the balance
As a baby his mother had fed him frogs
And a wide assortment of lizards
It made him tough and wise and strange
And gave him the mind of a wizard
He had a new woman every five years
Faithful to each in her turn
They gave him children and time to smile
And he showed them all the love they could learn
The man had love to burn
Now he's lived his life and he'll live it again
Thru one more gentle soul
You'll know him by his smile and his fork held high
He'll be dining on toads and moles
Look at the wood and the way he carves it
Look at the sun, the golden harvest
Must have taken him years

That Heart Belongs To Me
That Heart Belongs To Me
Composer(s): Webb Pierce
Performer(s): Webb Pierce - 1952
and multiple other artists
There are so many flirty guys with flirty flirty ways
And I'm so afraid that they will steal your heart some day
But don't don't let 'em darlin', 'cause you belong to me
Oh, don't ever let them make you think your heart is fancy free
Don't, don't let 'em darlin', 'cause you belong to me
They'll tell you that I trifle and that you should do the same
They'll tell you that they need your love, so why not make the change
But don't don't do it darlin', that heart belongs to me
Oh, please don't let them blind you, I still love you can't you see
Don't, don't let 'em darlin', that heart belongs to me
They'll offer you a mansion, ask you when you'll be their queen
So they can give you riches, make your life a happy dream
But don't don't let 'em darlin', that dream belongs to me
Oh, sure they'll try to buy your love with riches such as these
But don't don't let 'em darlin', that heart belongs to me

Look At That, Look At That
Composer(s): Kim Wilson - Jimmie Vaughan - Fran Christina - Preston Hubbard
Performer(s): The Fabulous Thunderbirds
Went to a party on Saturday night
Lookin' real cool and dressed just right
Saved my money every week
Just could not spend it on those fine chicks
(Got) Gotta my car and (walked) in the door
You know (just) what I was lookin' for
Look at that blonde in the redskin tights
Don't go with her she's the one that bites
A fine, fine thing in a short short skirt
She ain't attached and she likes to flirt
A whole lotta woman is where it's at
Hey now boys will you just look at that
I don't know which way to turn
Every way I look my eyeballs burn
Short gals, tall gals skinny and fat
Look at that, look at that, look at that, look at that
See them twins in fishnet hose
I'll take either one or both of those
Sally over there still long and lean
She's got the key to my lovin' machine
All these girls are lookin' just right
At a hip-shakin' party on a Saturday night

Waterman
Composer(s): Pieter Goemans
First performance by: The Hearts Of Soul - 1970
Waterman, ben jij een waterman?
Dan past jou sterrenbeeld bij mij
Intuïtief, heb ik je nu al lief
't Is net of jij, eenvoudig hoort bij mij
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Sterrenbeeld, dat niet met harten speelt
Maar mensen helpen wil, altijd
Jij kent gewoon, geen ruwe heerserstoon
Jij zoekt altijd, naar warme menselijkheid
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Waterman, mijn teken en talisman
Van nu af aan hoor jij bij mij
Waterman, zachtmoedige waterman
Mijn liefste man, dat ben jij
Die altijd fair bent
Altijd trouw en solidair bent
Maar ook vaak zo goedgelovig
En voor slechtheid ietwat dovig
Soms zo ernstig, haast verlegen
maar oneindig toegenegen
Waterman
