Maintenant Je Sais
Maintenant Je Sais
Composer(s): Jean-Loup Dabadie; Philip Green
Performer(s): Jean Gabin
Quand j'étais gosse, haut comme trois pommes
J'parlais bien fort pour être un homme
J'disais, Je Sais, Je Sais, Je Sais, Je Sais
C'était l'début, c'était l'printemps
Mais quand j'ai eu mes 18 ans
J'ai dit, Je Sais, ça y est, cette fois Je Sais
Et aujourd'hui, les jours où je m'retourne
J'regarde la terre où j'ai quand même fait les 100 pas
Et je n'sais toujours pas comment elle tourne!
Vers 25 ans, j'savais tout: l'amour, les roses, la vie, les sous
Tiens oui l'amour!
J'en avais fait tout le tour!
Et heureusement, comme les copains, j'avais pas mangé tout mon pain
Au milieu de ma vie, j'ai encore appris
C'que j'ai appris, ça tient en trois, quatre mots
"Le jour où quelqu'un vous aime, il fait très beau
j'peux pas mieux dire, il fait très beau!
C'est encore ce qui m'étonne dans la vie
Moi qui suis à l'automne de ma vie
On oublie tant de soirs de tristesse
Mais jamais un matin de tendresse!
Toute ma jeunesse, j'ai voulu dire Je Sais
Seulement, plus je cherchais, et puis moins j' savais
Il y a 60 coups qui ont sonné à l'horloge
Je suis encore à ma fenêtre, je regarde, et j'm'interroge?
Maintenant Je Sais, Je Sais Qu'on Ne Sait Jamais!
La vie, l'amour, l'argent, les amis et les roses
On ne sait jamais le bruit ni la couleur des choses
C'est tout c'que j'sais!
Mais ça, j'le Sais...!

Little Curly Hair In A High Chair
Little Curly Hair In A High Chair
Composer(s): Charles Tobias - Nat Simon
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists
Little curly hair in a high chair
What's your order for today?
Little curly hair in a high chair
I'll do anything you say
When you're near the room seems to brighten
The sun comes streaming through you're eyes
You're the reason they still keep writin'
All those tender lullabies
Hm__ There you go!
Bangin' with your blocks
Pullin' off your socks
Hm__ There you go!
Tryin' to make your toes
Touch your baby nose
Heaven's close to your chair and my chair
when you smile the way you do
Little curly hair in a high chair
My day begins and ends with you

Maintenant
Maintenant
Composer(s): Raymond Bravard; Jean Cazenave
Performer(s): Dalida
Maintenant que tes yeux ont l'audace
De me voir comme un rêve insolent
Maintenant que l'amour à sa place
Près de moi je t'aime plus qu'avant
Délaissant toutes les comédies
Sans pudeur je te dis simplement
Si l'amour doit enchaîner nos vies
Maintenant que ce soit maintenant
Et demain nos âmes réunis
S'aimeront un peu plus chaque jour
Etonné par tous ce qui nous lie
L'un à l'autre en ce premier amour
Découvrant enfin ce grand mystère
De tout ceux qui un jour comme nous
Ont uni leurs deux vies sur la terre
A jamais pour que naisse l'amour
Maintenant, maintenant

Little Christine
Little Christine
Composer(s): Mick Ralphs
Performer(s): Mott The Hoople
The light in the bar came on
The place was in a mess
An hour before there'd been an awful scene
Early on that day while Matt was on the phone
His long time friend took a fancy to his little Christine
Matt was in a state when I saw him later on
Tried to cool him down but he was havin' none
"I'm gonna fix him good", said Matt in a chokey way
Together we know the sound of a ready gun
Well it must have been around eight
When we both saw Sam's hunched back
Holdin' up a boarded bar room wall
Matt soon altered that as he kicked Sam to the floor
Pretty soon the place was one big brawl
Someone doused the lights
Still the pumps blew
Suddenly a voice caught in the night
"Whoever comes off best can only lose my hand
Leavin' now you are welcome to your fight, you can have it"
Well Matt he cocked his gun
Fired towards that voice
"I'd rather know you're dead" was his reply
Christine breathed her last
The bar was like a tomb
Not a sound, except to hear Sam call
The light in the bar was on
The place is in a mess
An hour before there'd been an awful scene
Early on that day while Matt was on the phone
His long time friend took a fancy to his little Christine

Main Street (Gene Kelly)
Main Street
Composer(s): Betty Comden; Roger Edens; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Gene Kelly
There's not much to tell about my hometown
Life is easy and the tempo's slow
But if you really want to find what's in it
You'll learn in a minute all you have to know
Let's go
Come walkin' with me I want you to see our main street
You'll see the whole town
By just walkin down our main street
There's the corner where the boys hang out
As each girl goes by they rate her whistle and try to date her "later"
Baby are you going steady?
And then we can stop and chat with a cop on main street
He made an arrest a way back in nineteen three
He'll ask me who is the pretty stranger
How proud I'm going to be when you walk down main street with me

Little Children
Little Children
Composer(s): J. Leslie McFarland - Mort Shuman
Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas
Little children, you better not tell on me
I'm tellin' you
Little children, you better not tell what you see
And if you're good
I'll give you candy and a quarter
If you're quiet like you oughta be
And keep a secret with me
I wish they would go away
Little children, now why aren't you playin' outside
I'm askin' you
You can't fool me, 'cause I'm gonna know if you hide
And try to peek
I'm gonna treat you to a movie
Stop your gigglin', children do be nice
Like little sugars and spice
You saw me kissin' your sister
You saw me holdin' her hand
But if you snitch to your mother
Your father won't understand
I wish they would take a nap
Little children, now why don't you go bye-bye
Go anywhere at all
Little children, I know you would if you tried
Go up the stairs
Me and your sister, we're goin' steady
How can I kiss her when I'm ready to
With little children like you around
I wonder what can I do around
Little children like you

Main Street (Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band)
Main Street
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
and various other artists
I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
I loved to watch her do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Down on Mainstreet
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch 'em through the glass
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet
And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet

Little Child Runnin' Wild
Little Child Runnin' Wild
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield; MC Breed
Little child
Runnin' wild
Watch a while
You see he never smiles
Broken home
Father gone
Mama tired
So he's all alone
Kind of sad
Kind of mad
Ghetto child
Thinkin' he's been had
In the back of his mind he's sayin'
Didn't have to be here
You didn't have to love for me
While I was just a nothin' child
Why couldn't they just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me be
One room shack
On the alley-back
Control, I'm told
From across the track
Where is the mayor
Who'll make all things fair
He lives outside
Our polluted air
And I didn't have to be here
You didn't have to love for me
While I was just a nothin' child
Why couldn't they just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me be
I got a jones
Runnin' through ma' bones
I'm sorry son
All your money's gone
Painful rip
In my upper hip
I guess it's time
To take another trip
Don't care what nobody say
I got to take the pain away
It's getting worser day by day
And all my life has been this way
Can't reason with the pusherman
Finance is all that he understands
'You junkie, mama cries, you know'
Would rip her, but I love her so
Love her so, now ...

Le Grillon
Le Grillon
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Quand l'hiver a pris sa besace
Que tout s'endort et tout se glace
Dans mon jardin abandonné
Quand les jours soudain rapetissent
Que les fantômes envahissent
La solitude des allées
Quand la burle secoue les portes
En balayant les feuilles mortes
Aux quatre coins de la vallée
Un grillon un grillon
Un grillon dans ma cheminée
Un grillon un grillon
Un grillon se met à chanter
Il n'a pourtant dans son assiette
Pas la plus petite herbe verte
La plus fragile graminée
À se mettre sous la luette
Quand le vent souffle la tempête
Et qu'il est l'heure de dîner
Que peut-il bien manger ou boire
À quoi peut-il rêver ou croire
Quel espoir encore l'habiter
Un grillon un grillon
Un grillon dans ma cheminée
Un grillon un grillon
Un grillon se met à chanter
Son cri n'a d'autre raison d'être
Que son refus de disparaître
De cet univers désolé
Pour le meilleur et pour le pire
Il chante comme je respire
Pour ne pas être asphyxié
Sait-il au fond de sa mémoire
Que c'est du coeur de la nuit noire
Qu'on peut voir l'aube se lever
Un grillon un grillon
Un grillon dans ma cheminée
Un grillon un grillon
Un grillon se met à chanter

Main Dans La Main
Main Dans La Main
Composer(s): Léonie; Christophe
Performer(s): Christophe
Je t'aime et je t'aimerai toujours
Mon presque premier amour
Ma tendresse, mon bonheur, ma douleur
Je t'enferme au fond de mon cœur
Nous serons tous deux comme des amoureux
Nous serons si bien main dans la main
Nous serons tous deux comme des amoureux
Nous serons si bien main dans la main
Quand, où et comment le dire
Ce grand amour qui nous déchire
Je t'aime et je t'aimerai toujours
De l'aube à la fin du jour
Nous serons tous deux comme des amoureux
Nous serons si bien main dans la main
Nous serons tous deux comme des amoureux
Nous serons si bien main dans la main
La la la la la .......

Little Brown Gal
Little Brown Gal
(Adapted from: It's Just A Little Brown Gal In A Little Grass Skirt In A Little Grass Shack In Hawaii)
Composer(s): Don McDiarmid - Lee Wood - Johnny Noble
Performer(s): Ray Noble & His Orch.
and multiple other artists
It's not the islands fair that are calling to me
It's not the balmy air nor the tropical sea
It's a little brown gal in a little grass skirt
In a little grass shack in Hawaii
It isn't Waikiki or Kamehameha's pali
Not the beach boys free with their hoomalimali
It's a little brown gal in a little grass skirt
In a little grass shack in Hawaii
Through that island wonderland
She's broken all the kanes' hearts
It's not hard to understand
For that wahine is a gal of parts
I'll be leaving soon but the thrill I enjoy
Is not the island moon nor the fish and the poi
It's just a little brown gal in a little grass skirt
In a little grass shack in Hawaii

I'm a-gonna wrap myself in paper

Stick some stamps on top of my head

When you see me in your mail box
Cut the string and let me out
Wash the glue off my fingers
Stick some bubble gum in my mouth
Take me out of my wrapping paper
Wash the stamps off my head
Pour me full of ice cream sodies
Put me in my nice warm bed

Little Boy Fishing Off A Wooden Pier
Composer(s): Shirley Abicair - Bill Lovelock
Performer(s): Shirley Abicair
Little boy fishing off a wooden pier
Come fish, bite fish, swim along here
Little boy wonder why the fish don't float
Little boy wanna buy a fishing boat
Little boy fishing off a wooden pier
Come fish, bite fish, swim along here
Little boy got to buy boat some way
Then he go fishing all the live long day
Dog fish, cat fish, any this or that fish
Please swim by my line
Can't catch shell fish, but I want to sell fish
Got to make some money for that boat of mine
Little boy dreaming with a secret smile
Some day sail away cannibal isle
Little boy wonder when his boat will come
Little boy slumber now the day is done
Dreaming is nothing if it ain't worth while
Keep on dreaming little man-child
Many a general would eat his hat
To give away talking and to do just that
Little boy richer than a millionaire
All he got is trouble and care
Soon enough little boy'll grow big man
Then he go fishingg for the frying pan
Dog fish, cat fish, any this or that fish
Please swim by my line
Can't catch shell fish, but I want to sell fish
Got to make some money for that boat of mine
Little boy fishing off a wooden pier
Come fish, bite fish, swim along here
Little boy sleepy and he sail away
In his dreamboat down to Blanket Bay

Maid Of Bond Street
Maid Of Bond Street
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie
This girl is made of lipstick
Powder and paint
Sees the pictures of herself
Every magazine on every shelf
This girl is maid of Bond Street
Hailing cabs, lunches with executives
Gleaming teeth sip aperitifs
This girl is a lonely girl
Takes the train from Paddington to Oxford Circus
Buys the Daily News
But passengers don't smile at her, don't smile at her
This girl is made of loneliness
A broken heart
For the boy that she once knew
Doesn't want to know her any more
And this girl is a lonely girl
Every thing she wants is hers
But she can't make it with the boy she really wants to be with
All the time, to love, all the time
This boy is made of envy
Jealousy
He doesn't have a limousine
Really wants to be a star himself
This girl, her world is made of flashlights and films
Her cares are scraps on the cutting room floor
And maids of Bond Street drive round in chauffered cars
Maids of Bond Street picture clothes, eyes of stars
Maids of Bond Street shouldn't have worldly cares
Maids of Bond Street shouldn't have love affairs
