Un Jardin Sur La Terre


Un Jardin Sur La Terre
First performance by: Serge Lama - 1971



À force de courir pour ne rien découvrir
De n'être aventurier que dans ses souvenirs
De faire des voyages comme on fait des affaires
Et perdre sa jeunesse comme on gagne une guerre
On arrive à se dire que rien n'est important
Qu'on n'a plus rien à dire, on a perdu son temps

Un jardin sur la Terre, un petit coin perdu
Juste un trompe-misère, un abri rien de plus
Un jardin sur la Terre pour qu'une fille ait son coeur
Et prendre à l'éphémère ce qu'il a de meilleur
Semer en étant sûr que l'on donne la vie
De la graine au bourgeon et de la fleur au fruit
Un jardin sur la Terre, un Eden avant l'heure
Un jardin sur la Terre, n'est-ce pas le bonheur?

À force de vouloir vivre à deux pour la vie
Au point de s'accoupler avec n'importe qui
De faire de son lit plusieurs champs de bataille
Collectionnant les coeurs à défaut de médailles
On arrive à se dire que rien n'est important
Qu'on n'a plus rien à dire, on a perdu son temps

Un jardin sur la Terre, un petit coin perdu
Juste un trompe-misère, un abri rien de plus
Un jardin sur la Terre pour cultiver son coeur
Et prendre à l'éphémère ce qu'il a de meilleur
Semer en étant sûr que l'on donne la vie
De la graine au bourgeon et de la fleur au fruit
Un jardin sur la Terre, un Eden avant l'heure
Donnez-moi un jardin sur la Terre

Pieces Of Mind


Pieces Of Mind
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Jack Bruce



Pieces of mind
See how they ran
Prizes of sun
Still to be won
When the life is made of straw
Waves that pound against the door
Leave me at the place of / throw it away / throw it away

Leave it today
Keep me dancing stop me grasping
Clouds that turn the dust on touching
Times I'm so far from / what I want

So much the same
Living in games
Pieces of cake
Until they break apart
They say the plane that comes to pass never rhymes
Now it burns on grass too steep to climb

Best of friends
Until the flowers end
Mines have taken their place
Darkness in their face
Now the golden coach is here
Can you cure me of the fear
Should I move into the clear
Find a time in which I / throw it away / get out today

Keep me singing stop me clutching
Rooms that turn to dust on clutching
Times I'm so far from / what I want

Merry-go-round
In a town without sound
Wings for hire
From the church with no choir
The burning ship is sailing
It will not leave without me
throw it way / get out today

Get out today
Keep me singing stop me clutching
Rooms that turn to dust on leaving
Times I'm so far from / what I want

Pieces Of Ice


Pieces Of Ice
Composer(s): M. Jordan; J. Capek
Performer(s): Diana Ross



Walking blind across this silver room
Looking through a smoke menagerie
Looking at your face inside of me
In the darkness you're Tunisia

Nights are long entropic
I can't seem to cope
It's cold when I look in your eyes

Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice

Where the zebra lightning strikes the room
Foreign words are strutted through the gloom
Women swooping down like birds of prey
Never close but never far away

Night are long entropic
I can't seem to cope
It's cold when I look in your eyes

Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice

En Un Mundo Nuevo


En Un Mundo Nuevo
Composer(s): T. Luz - R. Trabucchelli First performance by: Karina - 1971



Sólo al final del camino, las cosas claras verás
la razón de vivir y el porqué de mil cosas más
Al mirar hacia atrás, cuando llegues comprenderás

Busca las cosas sencillas y encontrarás la verdad
La verdad de ese amor, lo demás déjalo pasar
Solamente el amor con el tiempo no morirá

Al fin del camino se harán realidad los sueños que llevas en ti
si en todo momento en tu caminar
la vida has llenado de amor y verdad

Al fin del camino podrás encontrar el bien que esperaste sentir
olvida el pasado, pues no volverá
conserva el amor que hay en ti

Al fin del camino habrá un despertar de nuevo volver a vivir
si en todo momento en tu caminar
la vida has llenado de amor y verdad

Al fin del camino en ti llevarás la fe y la ilusión de vivir
tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
en un mundo nuevo y feliz

Al fin del camino en ti llevarás la fe y la ilusión de vivir
Tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
en un mundo nuevo y feliz
en un mundo nuevo y feliz
en un mundo nuevo y feliz

Papara papapa papara papa… papara papa parara…
Tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
si llenas tu vida de amor y paz
si llenas tu vida de amor y paz
en un mundo nuevo y feliz

Pieces Of April


Pieces Of April
Composer(s): Dave Loggins
Performer(s): Three Dog Night;
and various other artists



April gave us springtime and the promise of the flowers
And the feeling that we both shared and the love that we called ours
We had no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed
We were living a time meant for us, and even when it would rain
we would laugh it off

I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May

We stood on the crest of summer, beneath an oak that blossemed green
Feelings as I did in April, not really knowing what it means
But it must be ther that youstand beside me now to make me feel this way
Just as I did in April, but it's a morning in May

I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May

Sixteen Miles (To Seven Lakes)


Sixteen Miles (To Seven Lakes)
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



Early in the morning when the dew is on
Each and every rose bud, you will find me gone
So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again
Break my heart and steal my gold and slander my good name

Seven lonely hours on a morning train
Take me to a place where I won't come back again
Seven lonely Pullmans speeding down the line
Takin' me away from an old love of mine

Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines
In some hidden valley where the twirlin' river twines
Where the fish swim up and down and the sparklin' waters falls
Where the thunder roll and the lonely puma calls

Somewhere on the mountain I'll take another name
Rid my mind of memories and start my life again
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small
Then forget so I won't remember you at all

We're gonna rock and have a whole lot of fun

Repeat Chorus

Give a piece of your
Give me some piece of mind
Give me a piece of yours
Now take a piece of mine

(Come on, get it repeated in background)

Mary had a little lamb
Her fleece was just as while as snow
Yeah, Little Jack Horner stuck in his thumb
And Mary said, "Don't do that no more"

Repeat Chorus - three times more till end

Diese Welt


Diese Welt
Composer(s): F. Jay - D. Zimmermann
First performance by: Katja Ebstein - 1971



Sternenklare Nächte
und die Luft ist wie Jasmin
Flüsse wie Kristall so klar
und Wälder saftig grün

Kann es das noch geben
oder ist es schon zu spät
daß für alle überall
dieser Traum noch in
Erfüllung geht

Diese Welt
diese Welt
hat das Leben uns geschenkt
Sie ist dein
sie ist mein
es ist schön auf ihr
was werden soll
liegt an dir

Rauch aus tausend Schloten
senkt sich über Stadt und Land
Wo noch gestern Kinder war'n
bedeckt heut Öl den Strand

In den Düsenriesen
fliegen wir dem Morgen zu
wie wird dieses Morgen sein
sinnlos oder voller Sonnenschein

Diese Welt
diese Welt...

Und ist sie auch ein Staubkorn nur
in der Unendlichkeit
nur dieser Stern ist unser Stern
die andern sind viel zu weit

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man —yeah!
Didn’t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ve had enough
But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
Oh, yes indeed

You’re out on the streets looking good
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain’t right
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night
Babe, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can’t stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms, I’ll sing it once again

I’ll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c’mon now
oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it —whoahhhhh!!

Take it!
Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

I got sixteen chicks, sittin' in a tree
One turned around and took a look at me

I need you baby when the sun goes down
Hey, hey, little chick tell me what's on your mind
You got me walkin' and talkin' and laughin'

Piece By Piece


Piece By Piece
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren; The Tubes
Performer(s): The Tubes



She looks good
but she's not alltogether right
all the parts are not screwed on tight
there's a touch of tragedy
When she moves
I can see the secret showing through
she'd deny it if she thought I knew
but she could never hide from me

Anyone would think there's nothing wrong
she looks so satisfied
but I've know about it much too long
she can't conceal what she feels inside
I'm gonna show her that
piece by piece, inch by inch
I can put her back together again
I'll supply the love she lacks
and give her back
exactly what she needs
bringing it piece by piece

all I need
to find a way around her depends
is just a little common sense
I don't have a strategy
I'll be the re
like I have so many other times
she'll reveal to me a certain side
that all that I can see

anyone would think there's nothing wrong
she seems like she's complete
but it's obvious its been too long
since she believed what she needs is me

Chorus:
I'm gonna show her that
piece by piece, inch by inch
I can put her back together again
I'll supply the love she lacks
and give her back
exactly what she needs
bringing it piece by piece

anyone would that there's nothing wrong
but she's not fooling me
everybody wants to lead her on
but I believe what she needs is me
what she needs is me

Chorus:

I'm gonna show her that
piece by piece, inch by inch
I can put her back together again..
I'll supply the love she lacks
and give her back
exactly what she needs
bringing it piece by

(Repeat Chorus:)

Piece A-Puddin'
Composer(s): Rudy Toombs
Performer(s): Frankie Laine & Jo Stafford; and various other artists



Patty cake, patty cake, bakers man
Put it in the oven as fast as you can
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
I like it in the pot
Nine days old

Piece a-puddin' hot, piece a-puddin' cold
Piece a-puddin' in the pot nine days old

Didn't care much about goin' to school
It was all work and no play
But when I came home about half past three
I'd love to hear my mama say

I thought I had a steak all juicy and brown
I looked at my plate, here's all I found
I don't want ham, I don't want greens
There's only one dish that pops my seams

Mom said, "Son here's fifteen cents
Go watch the elephant jump the fence"
He jumped so high, he started to fly
He didn't get back till the Fourth of July

Grandpa said, I can't trust my eyes
It sure looks like one of Grandma's pies
Run there boy and fetch me some
If I pop my bridge, I'll use my gums

Hey, Mr. Bartender, Please don't be so slow
I've got time for one more round and a six-pack to go

And I don't have enough to pay my rent, I ain't a-gonna worry though

'Cause I've got time for one more round and a six-pack to go

The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
The Six-Five Special's right on time
Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
The Six-Five Special at the station tonight

The Six-Five Special better not be late
The Six-Five Special, platform eight
The train starts a-brakin' hard as can be
The station is a-shakin' like a tree
And I won't be missin' that special kissin'
When the Six-Five Special brings my baby to me

Hear the whistle blowin' twelve to the bar
See the lights a-glowin' bright as a star
Now the wheels a-slowin', can't be far

Piddle, Twiddle And Resolve


Piddle, Twiddle And Resolve
Composer(s): Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer
Performer(s): New Broadway Cast Recording



Adams:
Dear God! For one solid year they have been sitting there for one year doing nothing!

I do believe you've laid a curse on North America
A curse that we here now rehearse in Philadelphia
A second flood,
A simple famine
plagues of locusts everywhere
or a cataclysmic earthquake
I'd accept with some despair
but no you send us congress
good God sir was that fair?

I say this with humility in Philadelphia
we're your responsibility in Philadelphia
If you don't want to see us hanging
on some far off British hill
if you don't want the voice of independency
forever still
then God sir get thee to it!
For congress never will

Chorus:
You see we piddle twiddle and resolve
not one damn thing do we solve
piddle twiddle and resolve
nothing's ever solved
in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy, Philadelphia

Congress Man: Someone ought to open up a window

Adams: Oh shut up!

They may sit here for years and years in Philadelphia
These indecisive grenadiers of Philadelphia
They can't decide on what is right or wrong
or what is good or bad
I'm convinced the only purpose
this congress ever had
was to gather here specifically
to drive John Adams mad!

Repeat Chorus

Abigail: John, John, is that you carrying on? John?

Adams: Oh Abigail, Abigail I have such a desire to knock heads together!

Abigail: I know my dearest I know, but that's because you make everything so complicated
It's all quite simple really

Just tell congress to declare independency
then sign your name get our of there
and hurry home to me.
Our children all have dysentery
little Tom keeps turning blue
little Abby has the measles
and I'm coming down with flu
they say we may get small pox

Adams: Uh, Madam, what else is new?

Abigail, in my last letter I told you that the king has collected
twelve thousand German Mercenaries to send against us
I asked you to organize the ladies to make salt peter for gunpowder
Have you done as I asked?

Abigail: No John, I have not
Adams: Why have you not?
Abigail: Because you neglected to tell us how salt peter is made
Adams: By treating sodium nitrate with potassium chloride of course!
Abigail: Oh yes, of course
Adams: Will it be done then?
Abigail: I'm afraid we have a more ugent problem John
Adams: More urgent madame?

Abigail:
There's one thing every woman's missed in Massachusetts bay
Don't smirk at me you egotist pay heed to what I say
We've been from Framingham to Boston and we cannot find a pin
don't you know there is a war on
say the tradesmen with a grin
well we will not make salt peter until you send us pins

Adams: Pins madame? Salt peter
Abigail: Pins
Adams: salt peter
Abigail: Pins
Adams: Salt peter
Abigail: pins
Adams: Salt peter
Abigail: Pins
Adams: Peter!
Abigail: Pins!
Adams:Peter!
Abigail:Pins!
Adams: Peter!
Abigail: Pins!
Adams: Peter!
Abigail: Pins!
Adams: Done Madame, done
Abigail: Done, John, done
