Blue For You
Blue For You
Composer(s): Alan Lancaster; Rob Young
Performer(s): Status Quo
When I get old and find the time
I’ll paint a picture about my life
I’ll paint it blue for you, I’ll paint it blue for you
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I’m blue for you
When I was younger I tried so hard
To find a good woman and give her my love
I found a woman sweet as can be, I found a woman for me
I didn’t know I had the world
I was still looking for ways to your love
Now that I know, I feel so low, I’m blue for you
Cheatin’ and lyin’, I played around
Livin’ and dyin’, you stood your ground
Cheatin’ and lyin’, you knew so well
There’s no good denying, you know me too well
When I’m alone I realise
Your eyes were smilin’ but deep inside
I saw the blue in you, everything blue for you
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I’m blue for you
Feel so low, I’m blue for you
I feel so low I’m blue for you

Tango Funèbre
Tango Funèbre
Composer(s): Gérard Jouannest - Jacques Brel
First release by: Jacques Brel - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1968 - Funeral Tango (by Mort Shuman)

Ah je les vois déjà
Me couvrant de baisers
Et s'arrachant mes mains
Et demandant tout bas
Est-ce que la mort s'en vient
Est-ce que la mort s'en va
Est-ce qu'il est encore chaud
Est-ce qu'il est déjà froid
Ils ouvrent mes armoires
Ils tâtent mes faïences
Ils fouillent mes tiroirs
Se régalant d'avance
De mes lettres d'amour
Enrubannées par deux
Qu'ils liront près du feu
En riant aux éclats
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah je les vois déjà
Compassés et frileux
Suivant comme des artistes
Mon costume de bois
Ils se poussent du cœur
Pour être le plus triste
Ils se poussent du bras
Pour être le premier
Z'ont amené des vieilles
Qui ne me connaissaient plus
Z'ont amené des enfants
Qui ne me connaissaient pas
Pensent aux prix des fleurs
Et trouvent indécent
De ne pas mourir au printemps
Quand on aime le lilas
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah je les vois déjà
Tous mes chers faux amis
Souriant sous le poids
Du devoir accompli
Ah je te vois déjà
Trop triste trop à l'aise
Protégeant sous le drap
Tes larmes lyonnaises
Tu ne sais même pas
Sortant de mon cimetière
Que tu entres en ton enfer
Quand s'accroche à ton bras
Le bras de ton quelconque
Le bras de ton dernier
Qui te fera pleurer
Bien autrement que moi
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah je me vois déjà
M'installant à jamais
Bien triste bien au froid
Dans mon champ d'osselets
Ah je me vois déjà
Je me vois tout au bout
De ce voyage-là
D'où l'on revient de tout
Je vois déjà tout ça
Et on a le brave culot
D'oser me demander
De ne plus boire que de l'eau
De ne plus trousser les filles
De mettre de l'argent de côté
D'aimer le filet de maquereau
Et de crier vive le roi
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Blue Feeling
Blue Feeling
Composer(s): Henshaw
Performer(s): The Animals
Sit here and wonder what am I so blue
Is it because I'm still in love with you?
Blue blue feeling got me down today
Blue blue feeling, my baby's gone away
Now that she's gone, I don't know what I'll do
I guess I'll have to find, find somebody new
Blue blue feeling got me down today
Blue blue feeling, my baby's gone away
Baby please don't leave me, oh don't leave me
Now that she's gone, I'm feeling kind of blue
I guess I'll have to find, find somebody new
Blue blue feeling got me down today
Blue blue feeling, my baby's gone away
Well baby please don't leave me
Baby please don't go
Awh!Honey child don't leave me now
Baby please, baby please

Funeral Tango
Funeral Tango
((Adapted from: Tango Funèbre (by Jacques Brel) - 1964))
((Finnish Version: Hautajaistango (by Markku Riikonen) - 1984))
Composer(s): Gérard Jouannest - Jacques Brel - Eric Blau - Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Mort Shuman - 1968
Oh I can see them now
Clutching a handkerchief
And blowing me a kiss
Discreetly asking how
How came he died so young
Or was he very old
Is the body still warm
Or is it already cold
All doors are open wide
They grope around inside
At my desk my drawers my trunk
There's nothing left to hide
Some love letters are there
And an old photograph
They've laid my poor soul bare
And now all they do is laugh
Oh I can see them all
So formal and so stiff
Like a seargant at arms
At a policeman's ball
And everybody's pushing
To be the first in line
Their hearts upon their sleeves
Like a ten cent valentine
The old women are there
Too old to give a damn
They've brought along the kids
Who don't know who I am
They're thinking about the price of my funeral bouquet
What they're thinking isn't nice
For now they'll have to pay
Oh I see all of you
All of my phoney friends
Who can't wait for it ends
Who can't wait till it's through
Oh I see all of you
You've been laughing all these years
Now all that you have left
Are a few crocodile tears
Ah you don't even know
That you're entering your hell
As you leave my cemetary
You think you're doing well
With that one who's at your side
You're as proud as you can be
Ah she's going to make you cry
But not the way you cried for me
Oh I can see me now
So cold and so alone
As the flowers slowly die
In my field of little bones
Oh I can see me now
I can see me at the end
Of this voyage that I/m on
Without a love without a friend
Now all this that I see
Is not what I deserve
They really have a nerve
To say these things to me
No girls just bread and water
And your money you must save
For there'll be nothing left for us
When you're dead and in your grave

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
Composer(s): Fred Rose
Performer(s): Willie Nelson
and various other artists
In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Will drive you!
Mad!
Roxanne
You don't have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
You don't have to sell your body to the night

His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's More Than I Can Stand!
Christian:
Why does my heart cry?
Tango Dancer:
Roxanne!...
Christian:
Feelings I can't fight!
You're free to leave me but
Just don't deceive me!
... And please believe me when I say
I Love You!
(silence, someone says something in Spanish)
Y yo que te quiero tanto que voy hacer
Me dejaste, me dejaste por un montõn de monedas
El alma se me fue
se me fue el corazõn
Ya no tengo ganas de vivir
porque no te puedo convencer
que no te vendas corazõn
Christian:
Roxanne!
You don't have to put on that red light!
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne!
You don't have to put on that red light

Blue Eyes Blue
Blue Eyes Blue
Composer(s): Diane Warren
Performer(s): Eric Clapton
I thought that you'd be loving me
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm still here alone
'cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for the tears to start
It was you who put the clouds around me
It was you who made the tears fall down
It was you who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue
Oh, I never should have trusted you
I thought that I'd be all you need
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven
And now my heaven's gone away
And I'm out in the cold
'cause you had me believing
You had me believing in a lie
Guess I couldn't see it
I guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye
Chorus
'cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for the tears to start
It was you who put the clouds around me
It was you
Chorus
Oh, I never should have trusted you
Oh, I never should have trusted you
Oh, I never should have trusted you

Le Tango Corse
Le Tango Corse
Composer(s): Pirault - Vastano
Performer(s): Fernandel
Au bal du petit Ajaccio
On ne dans pas le mambo
Ni le bee-bop, ni la biguine
Mais un vrais tango d'origine
Le tango Corse, c'est un tango conditionné
Le tango Corse, c'est de la sieste organisée
On se déplace pour être sur qu'on ne dort pas
On se prélasse, le tango Corse c'est comme ça!
Quand Dominique est fatigué
De voir les autres travailler
Il s'accorde un peu de repos
Juste le temps d'un petit tango
Le tango Corse, c'est un tango conditionné
Le tango Corse, c'est l'avant goût de l'oreiller
Le Dominique se croit déjà en pyjama
C'est magnifique, le tango Corse c'est comme ça
Un jour des musiciens du nord
On joué trop vite et trop fort
Un vrai tango de salarié!
On ne les a jamais retrouvés!
Le tango Corse, c'est un tango sélectionné
Le tango Corse, pour les courageux fatigués
Chacun s'étire en même temps que l'accordéon
Et l'on soupire, le tango Corse que c'est bon!
Quand a bout de forces
On va s'étendre une heure ou deux
Le tango Corse, c'est encore là
Qu'on le danse le mieux!

Blue Eyes
Blue Eyes
Composer(s): Elton John; Gary Osborne
Originally performed by: Elton John
Covered by various other artists
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
When the morning comes
I'll be far away
And I say
Blue eyes
Holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
And she's alone again
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes
I love blue eyes
When I'm by her side
Where I long to be
I will see
Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home, and I am home again

Hello And Goodbye
Hello And Goodbye
Composer(s): Elmer Bernstein - Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman
Performer(s): Jill Ireland
Some have a lifetime, some just a day
Love isn't something you measure that way
Nothing's ever forever, forever's a lie
All we have is between hello and goodbye
It's not how long the spring, it's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time between hello and goodbye
The music has ended, I still hear the song
Our moment was brief, but our kisses were long
Though the loving is over, the love of you stays
And the memory will warm me the rest of my days
It's not how long the spring, it's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time between hello and goodbye
We never shared September or watched the colors of fall
But in that wink of time we had, we knew we had it all
It's not how long the spring, it's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time between hello and goodbye

Blue Eyed Elaine
Blue Eyed Elaine
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
John Prine; Justin Tubb
Side by side we’ll roll along, sweetheart you and I
And to you, I’ll sing this song as the years go passin’ by
Times maybe good or they maybe bad, but you never frown
I couldn’t find a sweeter pal if I searched the whole world round
Blue Eyed Elaine
You’re the sweetest thing and I love you so
And you’ll always be the same no matter where we go
We’ll travel here, we’ll travel there and we will never part
You’ll always be my Blue Eyed Elaine and I’ll be your sweetheart
When skies are gray and things go wrong
We’ll never fret nor sigh But we’ll just keep travin’ on
With our heads held up high
And when I gaze into your eyes your heart and soul I’ll claim
Then you’ll know the reason why
I love you Blue Eyed Elaine
Blue Eyed Elaine
You’re the sweetest thing and I love you so
And you’ll always be the same no matter where we go
We’ll travel here, we’ll travel there and we will never part
You’ll always be my Blue Eyed Elaine and I’ll be your sweetheart

Sway Me
Sway Me
Composer(s): Al Hoffman - Dick Manning
Performer(s): Ella Mae Morse
Sway me, hold me, kiss me tonight!
Sway me, oh sway me tonight
Speak softly while holding me tight
Convince me (just convince me)
That we have the right (that we have the right)
To love, to love
Sway me with kisses
And teach me to care
For this is
My first love affair
My darling, my heart is afraid (my heart is afraid)
But I can be swayed by you!
Sway me with kisses (I wanna be kissed)
And teach me to care (I wanna be kissed)
For this is (I wanna be loved)
My first love affair (I wanna be loved)
But darling, my heart is afraid (my heart is afraid)
But I can be swayed by you!

Blue Evening
Blue Evening
Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins; Joe Bishop
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and various other artists
Blue evening comes at the close of day
Blue evening, spent in the same old way
My future looks as dark as the sky above me
There must be someone here in this world who loves me
A sweet love song, would be so grand to know
But my love songs are all from the radio
Another dawn is waiting for me, another day and then
Another blue evening again

Le Talkie-Walkie
Le Talkie-Walkie
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
J'avais en ma possession un talkie-walkie
Made in Japan
Il ne m'en reste à présent qu'un grain de folie
Un point c'est tout
J'avais donné le même appareil à celle que j'aimais
On s'appelait pour un oui pour un non
Qu'elle soit dans sa chambre ou bien dans la cour de son lycée
Je l'avais n'importe quand n'importe où
Quand j'entendais sa voix dans le talkie-walkie
J'étais heureux
Jusqu'au jour où elle l'oublia près de son lit
Voici comment
J'étais seul avec moi quand je décidai de l'appeler
J'ai tout de suite compris ma douleur
Je ne souhaite à personne de vivre un moment pareil
En deux mots voilà ce qui s'est passé
J'entendis des soupirs dans le talkie-walkie
Des mots d'amours
Et puis son prénom que murmurait dans la nuit
Un inconnu
De ce jour tous les plombs de mon pauvre compteur ont sauté
Mais je la vois dans mon obscurité
Je vois ces grands yeux beiges ces deux grands yeux couleur du temps
D'où la neige tombait de temps en temps
J'avais en ma possession un talkie-walkie
Made in Japan
Il ne m'en reste à présent qu'un grain de folie
Un point c'est tout

You feel invincible

Per Un Momento Ho Perso Te

((English Version: All Of A Sudden My Heart Sings (Hildegarde Neff) - 1944))
Composer(s): Jean Marie Blanvillain - Laurent Henri Herpin - Mogol
Performer(s): Fausto Leali - 1967
Per un momento ho perso te
ed ho capito quello che
avrei perduto insieme a te
di allontanarmi sempre piu'
ed io cadevo sempre giu'
crollava il mondo intorno a me
adesso so adesso che
per un momento ho perso te
per un momento ho perso te
quando sei tornata a me
sentivo il sole caldo che
mi risvegliava sempre piu'
ed io volavo in alto sai
in alto dove c'eri tu
io so chi sei adesso che
per un momento ho perso te
amore non lasciarmi mai
perche' non so cosa farei
se non ci fossi sempre tu
nel mondo io mi perderei
amore non lasciarmi mai
io di dolore morirei
io lo capito adesso che
per un momento ho perso te

Blue Destiny
Blue Destiny
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
Once you were mine, and you wanted the whole world to know
Now ev’rytime I’m around, you’ve got somewhere to go
I ask my heart ev’ry day
“Can there be some other way?”
Tell me, what can I do to change my blue destiny?
First, you decide that our love will always be true
Next thing I know, you’re running with somebody new
Once you were mine alone
Now you’re just someone I’ve known
Tell me, what can I do to change my blue destiny?
And there were times when love was new
And both our hearts were gay
But now the signs say we’re through and
Bound for separate ways
And how can you love when your love doesn’t want you at all?
Girl, when you turn me away, got my back to the wall
Still, I forgive all your lies, ‘cause darlin’, I realize
That it’s you, only you, can change my blue destiny
Baby, you, only you, can change my blue destiny

En écoutant mon cœur chanter
Je vous retrouve à mes côtés
Me serrant très fort pour danser
Et sans la nuit pour m'embrasser
Murmurant des folies tout bas
Me forçant à rire aux éclats
Ou me faisant fermer les yeux
Avec un frisson merveilleux
Me pressant doucement les doigts
Comprenant mes secrets émois
Prenant l'air d'un enfant gâté
Quand vous voulez tout emporter
Soudain les yeux éperdus
Me rendant mon bonheur perdu
Tout redevient réalité
En écoutant mon cœur chanter
En écoutant mon cœur chanter
Je vous retrouve à mes côtés
Me serrant très fort pour danser
Et sans la nuit pour m'embrasser
Murmurant des folies tout bas
Me forçant à rire aux éclats
