Hommage Au Passant D'un Soir
Hommage Au Passant D'un Soir
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Quand je jouais de la guitare
Par plaisir ou par désespoir
Rue Dufour et Rue Vaugirard
J'arrêtais vers onze heures du soir
Je fouillais mes carnets d'adresses
Pour trouver deux sous de tendresse
Des amours que le petit jour emportait sans cesse
J'ignorais ce qu'était ma vie
J'ignorais, mais j'avais envie
De chanter pour être moins triste et moins seul aussi
Puis un soir, pour m'encourager
Un passant, surgi du passé
M'avait dit des mots qui depuis ne m'ont plus quitté
Quand je jouais de la guitare
Avenue de l'Observatoire
J'ignorais que dans ton regard
Le bonheur était provisoire
J'écrivais des chansons d'amour
Et chacun s'asseyait autour
Des sourires étaient ma récompense et tu souris toujours
J'ignorais ce qu'était ta vie
J'ignorais, mais j'avais envie
De chanter pour que tout soit bien quand le ciel est gris
Tout autour dans nos univers
Le printemps virait à l'hiver
Et les jours du calendrier passaient à l'envers
Puis j'ai joué de la guitare
Sur ton cœur et loin des regards
Tout le reste était dérisoire
Le présent perdait la mémoire
Je vivais mes chansons d'amour
J'avais peur de te perdre un jour
Et j'aimais les bruits de l'école en bas dans ta cour
J'ignorais si c'était ma vie
J'ignorais, mais j'avais envie
De continuer mon chemin vers le paradis
Je respirais tout doucement
J'avais peur d'éveiller le temps
Qui dormait dans nos souvenirs, et j'étais content
J'ignorais si c'était ma vie
J'ignorais, mais j'avais envie
De continuer mon chemin vers le paradis
Je respirais tout doucement
J'avais peur d'éveiller ce temps
Qui dormait dans nos souvenirs, et j'étais content
Je rêvais de m'en souvenir depuis si longtemps
Quand je jouais de la guitare
Pour te plaire ou pour t'émouvoir
En hommage au passant d'un soir
J'écrivais pour l'amour de l'art
J'ignorais que c'était ma vie
J'ignorais, mais j'avais envie
De chanter pour que tu sois fière de m'avoir choisi

Still The One
Still The One
Composer(s): Johanna Hall - John Hall
First release by: Orleans - 1976
We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one I want to talk to in bed
Still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one who can scratch my itch
Still the one and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one...

Hominy Grits
Hominy Grits
Composer(s): Smiley Burnette
Performer(s): Merle Travis;
and various other artists
Oh give me some hominy grits
And some red sugar-cured ham
Give me a great big bowl of gravy
I'd be such a happy man
If I could see the magnolias and azaleas in bloom
Let me up to the table and give me lots of elbow room
Then pass me that mammy fried okie
And some good old black eyed peas
Give me a hay rack full of biscuits
Make my coffee black if you please
If you feed me out of Dixie in a style so grand
You'll have yourself a happy man
Sorghum molasses
You'll have yourself a happy man
Now give me some of the hominy grits boy
Or shut my mouth with a great big slab of that sugar-cured ham
And about a half a gallon of this old thickened gravy
And brother you're gonna have yourself a mighty happy man
Well it seems like when you eat stuff like that
You can see the magnolias on them honeysuckles
Well you knows that they're in bloom
Oh set me down to that table, boy, scoot over
And give me lots of elbow room
Then pass me that mammy-fried okie
And some good old black eyed peas
Give me a hayrack full of hot biscuits
And make my coffee black if you please
If you feed me out of Dixie in a style oh so grand
You'll have yourself a happy man
Sorghum molasses
You'll have yourself a happy man

Homework
Homework
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Mary McCarty
I'm so tired of working in an office
And it's making me blue
There is work that don't require an office
That I'm anxious to do
Homework, I want to do homework
Instead of an office, I want to work home
Staying at home and crocheting
And meekly obeying
The guy who comes home
A cozy kitchen to be in there pitchin'
Is the thing I'm longing to do
To be there learning when a steak needs turning
And just what goes into a stew
Homework, I want to do homework
A genius who sits and plans with pots and pans at home
A genius who bakes a pie that keeps a guy at home
Homework, I want to do homework
Instead of an office, I want to work home
Messing around with French dressing
And slightly impressing
The guy who comes home
I long to settle with a steaming kettle
And a frying pan and a pot
And be the keeper of a carpet sweeper
That's the one ambition I've got
Homework, I want to do homework
A genius who has a way that makes him stay at home
A genius who has what takes that makes or breaks a home
Homework, I want to do homework
Instead of an office, I want to work home
Patching his trousers and matching
The part that keeps scratching
The guy who comes home
A table wiper who can change a diaper
Is the thing I'd like to be best
And be the master of a mustard plaster
When the cold goes down to his chest
Homework, I want to do homework
A genius who does her part so he don't start to roam
A genius who earns her keep that makes him sleep at home

Still My Heart Believes
Still My Heart Believes
Composer(s): Merrill Osmond
Performer(s): Merrill Osmond
I’ve never seen rainbows ever touch the ground
I’ve never seen harps with any angels around
I’ve never seen anyone heaven bound
Still my heart believes
I’ve never heard voices really pierce the veil
I’ve never had a dream hit the Richter scale
I’ve never seen peace on earth ever prevail
Still my heart believes
'Cause there’s this love in the center
Where my fading heart can enter
It’s where peace and joy arise
When my heart repeats the sound
All the songs we’ll sing together
On that very special day
It’s loud and clear
Right deep in here is love
I’ve never seen sunsets tucked away
I’ve never held pain in at bay
Never really lived one perfect day
Still my heart believes
Still my heart believes
'Cause there’s this love in the center
Where my fading heart can enter
It’s where peace and joy arise
When my heart repeats the sound
All the songs we’ll sing together
On that very special day
It’s loud and clear
Right deep in here is love

Homeward Bound
Homeward Bound
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon
I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination, mmm
On a tour of one night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one-man band
Homeward Bound
I wish I was
Homeward Bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be
Homeward Bound
I wish I was
Homeward Bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward Bound
I wish I was
Homeward Bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Silently for me

Hasta La Vista (Ruslan Alenho)
Hasta La Vista
Composer(s): Taras Demchuk - Eleonora Melnik
First performance by: Ruslan Alenho - 2008
You shone on me like a blinding star
I've just never seen such a light so far
All my days, like fairy tales
I begged you to look in my loving eyes
But you were as cold as arctic ice
And your laugh has killed my love
The story is close to the final cut
It won't be the end, but a running start
So don't be upset, please don't ask me why
I say goodbye
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm gonna miss you, maybe
You can be really happy
Though it's not fair
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm gonna miss you, maybe
Hasta la vista, blame me
But I don't care
No way to repair the broken glass
There's nothing to share nor to discuss
Now I see, you're not for me
(You're not for me)
You've cast me away to a desert shore
You've shattered my heart, now you keep the score
Have a rest, you've done your best
The story is close to the final cut
It won't be the end, but a running start
So don't you pretend you can't get it why
I say goodbye
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm gonna miss you, maybe
You can be really happy
Though it's not fair
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm gonna miss you, maybe
Hasta la vista, blame me
But I don't care
Hasta la vista
Hasta la vista

Hometown Blues
Hometown Blues
Composer(s): Tom Petty
Performer(s): Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers;
Rosanne Cash; Lew Lewis
Baby can't wait, baby gotta go
Gotta do a number on a late night show
Do a little song, do a little dance
Gonna make the best of her big chance
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
Blues
I gotta friend, gotta little girl
Say she's the best in the whole wide world
Said it's so good, said it so unreal
Might not last, but it's no big deal
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Just trying to make the best of the hometown blues
Blues
Baby, save me, save me
Save me with your sweet smile
Honey, I really need you
To help me kill a little bit of time
All of the girls run with the crowd
They go wild when the lights go down
They gotta little money, little in a dream
Wanna be the queen of their little scene
Don't really matter if they don't or if they do
They're trying to make the best of the hometown blues
Blues
Blues, blues, blues, blues

Still In Love With You
Still In Love With You
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy
Think I'll just fall to pieces
If I don't find something else to do
This sadness never ceases
I'm still in love with you
My head, it keeps on reeling
It's got me in a crazy spin
Darling, darling, darling
Is this the end?
Still in love with you
They say time has a way of healing
Dries all the tears from your eyes
But darling it's this empty feeling
My heart can't disguise
After all that we've been through
I try my best but it's no use
I guess I'll keep on loving you
Is this the end?
Now that it's all over, woman
There's something I think you should know
Baby, baby, think it over
Just one more time before you go
Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby
Help me see it through
I'm still in love with you

Homesick, That's All
Homesick, That's All
Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
I miss the thrill of grammar school romances
I miss the junior prom and graduation dances
The gossip in assembly hall
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the gang that hangs around at Miller's
Devouring chocolate sodas, with those whipped cream fillers
The girl I promised I would call
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the midnight services on Christmas Eve
And the joy when Christmas morning came
I miss the scramble for the wishbone every Sunday
And the big Thanksgiving football game
I miss the times I had to set the table
I miss the rolls my mother made when she was able
The fragrant bonfires in the fall
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the times I had to set the table
I miss the rolls my mother made when she was able
The fragrant bonfires in the fall
I'm homesick, that's all

Casanova (Gisela)
Casanova
Composer(s): Jordi Cubino
First performance by: Gisela - 2008
(Oh Casanova ... nova ... nova ...)
A thousand stars were shining their light in the night skies
You and me, a magical moment in your eyes (Casanova)
Lost in love, I'd waited a lifetime to find you
The stars above were burning so bright to remind you (Casanova)
Boom, boom, boom, my heart still goes crazy
When I think of you
Oh Casanova
I thought love would last forever
That we'd always stay together
Can't you feel it in your heart?
Oh Casanova
In a fairy tale I found you
I'm alive when I'm around you
I can't live if we're apart
A simple song can bring back the past to remind me
Now you're gone and all the good times behind me (Casanova)
Boom, boom, boom, my heart still goes crazy
When I think of you
Oh Casanova
I thought love would last forever
That we'd always stay together
Can't you feel it in your heart?
Oh Casanova
In a fairy tale I found you
I'm alive when I'm around you
I can't live if we're apart
Vull escoltar que tu m'estimes
I want to dream this dream with you
Oh Casanova
I thought love would last forever
That we'd always stay together
Can't you feel it in your heart?
Oh Casanova
In a fairy tale I found you
I'm alive when I'm around you
I can't live if we're apart
Oh Casanova

Homesick
Homesick
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
I feel very blue, yes I do can't you tell
Worry quite a lot 'cause I'm not feeling well
Friends have come to me, saying
"We can see, You need company"
but I'm not lonely, I'm only
My poor heart will stop when I hop off the train
Such a happy soul when I stroll down the lane
I can't wait 'til then, to be there again
In the twilight when the sun is setting
I'm getting
Homesick, I know just what's the matter
I'm Homesick that's all
I see that cozy little shack and the little red school
Daddy on the back of a funny old mule
"God Bless our Home" on the wall
The fields of clover they seem to say
"Why don't you come over, pay us a call
I miss the cows and the chickens and the apple tree shady
And there's that little old lady
do you wonder why I'm Homesick

Still I Cling To You
Still I Cling To You
(French Version: Je Me Raccroche À Toi)
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I know the signs, I read the warning
To you, I'm only time to kill
Not mean a thing to you
Yet, still I cling to you
Like melodies on (?) Winter mornings
Like snow upon the highest hill
That's how I cling to you
Somehow, I cling to you
If I were wiser I would leave you
Pick up my broken pride and steal away
What is this game you play
Do we have a chain to bind and hold me (?)
Yet, keep yourself one step beyond me
So near, so far away
I tell myself, you'll come to love me
As flowers come alive in Spring
And still I cling to you
At times you want my adoration
You talk of love, of life ???
My soul ??? swings (?) to you
And so, I cling to you
At times you mock my desperation
My ignorance, to laugh, to score (?)
Despite the things you do, in rage (?) I cling to you
Is it just pity you are feeling
These crumbs of comfort that you throw my way
How long can hope survive
How long must this despair continue
If you're so sure, I'll never wave (?) you
Why keep my hope alive
You do not hear the song I sing you
You do not take the gift I bring
Yet still I sing to you
Still I cling to you

Homenagem Ao Malandro
Homenagem Ao Malandro
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque;
and various other artists
Eu fui fazer um samba em homenagem
À nata da malandragem
Que conheço de outros carnavais
Eu fui à Lapa e perdi a viagem
Que aquela tal malandragem
Não existe mais
Agora já não é normal
O que dá de malandro regular, profissional
Malandro com aparato de malandro oficial
Malandro candidato a malandro federal
Malandro com retrato na coluna social
Malandro com contrato, com gravata e capital
Que nunca se dá mal
Mas o malandro pra valer
- não espalha
Aposentou a navalha
Tem mulher e filho e tralha e tal
Dizem as más línguas que ele até trabalha
Mora lá longe e chacoalha
Num trem da Central

Hold On, Be Strong
Hold On, Be Strong
Composer(s): Mira Craig
First performance by: Maria Haukaas Storeng - 2008
Love can be hard sometimes
Yes, it can catch you off guard like bad crimes
Yes, it can make you depressed and angry
Make you say: "Why me, why won't anybody try me?"
You might be saying: "Ooh, I don't wanna be lonely"
"Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself"
"Ooh, don't wanna be lonely"
"Why ain't anybody lovin' me?"
But there's always someone out there who'll be there for you
There is always someone out there who'll care for you
There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true
Hold on, hold on, be strong
Love can go away forever if you push it
And you have to remember: don't rush it
If it ain't right, it is wrong
And you'll be crying: "Why me, why won't anybody try me?"
You might be saying: "Ooh, I don't wanna be lonely"
"Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself"
"Ooh, don't wanna be lonely, oh no no"
"Why ain't anybody lovin' me?"
Now, but there's always someone out there who'll be there for you
And there's always someone out there who'll care for you
There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true
Hold on, hold on, be strong
And yes, there's always someone out there who'll be there for you
And there's always someone out there who'll care for you
There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true
Hold on, hold on, be strong
Hold on, hold on, be strong
My child, hold on, hold on, be strong

Homemade Music
Homemade Music
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Michael Utley; Russell Kunkel
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
I ain't no video king
I still have to sing
For my supper each night
You may stand on the benches
I play in the trenches
Beneath the big spotlights
Lived in a suitcase for half of my years
I've got strange little voices that live in my ears
Hall monster, mall monster
I can't believe the old me no more
Homemade music down in the passion pits
Homemade music lots o grits but no hits
Homemade music is part of my philosophy
Oh cooking is a pleasure
And singing is a treasure
That most don't find
There ain't no harm in telling
I like to eat my mellon
Right on down to the rind
I had a hippie girlfriend when I was a kid
She died and went to the suburbs most of them did
Raisin' puppies, having yuppies
Where did all the wild ones go
Homemade music ain't on the radio
Homemade music searchin' high and low
Homemade music where did all the good songs go?
First there were records then cassettes and CDs
Bankers and lawyers then came the Japanese
Homemade music still making sense to me
Homemade music so funky and nice
Homemade music sits on very thin ice
But homemade music is part of my philosophy
Homemade music ain't on the radio
Homemade music searchin' high and low
Homemade music where did all the good songs go?

Still Feeling Blue
Still Feeling Blue
Composer(s): Gram Parsons
First release by: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Time can pass and time can heal
But it don't ever pass the way I feel
You went away a long time ago
And why you left I never knew
The lonely days and lonely nights
Guess the world knows I ain't feelin' right
And when you're gone the hours pass so slow
And now I'm still feeling blue
And baby
Since you've walked out of my life
I never felt so low
Can't help but wonder why you had to go
There are many girls but I can't say
They come and go but still I feel this way
And ever since the day you said goodbye
No one treats me like you used to do
I hope you're out and happy now
Doing up the town cause you know how
Every time I hear your name I want to die
And now I'm still feeling blue
All right
And baby
Since you've walked out of my life
I never felt so low
Can't help but wonder why you had to go
I hope you're out and happy now
Doing up the town cause you know how
Every time I hear your name I want to die
And now I'm still feeling blue
And now I'm still feeling blue
