In The Army Now
(French Version: Ici Les Enfoirés - 2009)
Composer(s): Rob Bolland; Ferdi Bolland
First release by: Bolland & Bolland - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You be the hero of thw neibourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergant calls "Stand up and fight"
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Long Gone
Long Gone
Composer(s): Burton Cummings - Domenic Troiano
Performer(s): The Guess Who
Who in the Hell are you to criticize
Every day and every night you’re just a drag
You’ve been long gone, long gone ...
You are working from a point of depression
Isn’t it amazing when you find you’re slipping
You’ve been long gone, long gone ...
I guess you’ve always been a power-hungry specimen
You were raised with rank in mind
I’d gladly give away everything I’ve ever owned
For the chance to stab you from behind
Cause I’m tired of what you’re saying
It’s not worth the paper it’s printed on
It just doesn’t cut it anymore
Each time the sun greets the new dawning
I’ll try to kick you while you’re down
Welcome to the Kingdom of Hatred
You’ll find out soon that I wear the crown
I’m tired of what you been sayin’
It’s not worth the time to discuss it
You just don’t cut it anymore
Who in the Hell are you to criticize
You’re still learning how to form an opinion
You’ve been long gone, long gone ...

Ici Les Enfoirés
(Adapted from: In The Army Now - 1981)
Composer(s): Rob Bolland; Ferdi Bolland; Jean-Jacques Goldman
Performer(s): Les Enfoirés - 2009
On nous avait dit "c'est pour un soir"
On est encore là vingt ans plus tard
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée
Les saltimbanques c'est pas sérieux
Mais les ministères n'ont pas fait mieux
Ici les enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée
Faut-il chanter contre les misères
Ou bien se taire, passer, ne rien faire
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée
Chaque année plus de gens secourus
Mais chaque année plus encore à la rue
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée
Chanter, chanter même à en pleurer
Entre un rêve et la réalité
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée
Parfois je me demande à quoi ça sert
Espèce d'Enfoiré, chante et espère
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée
Et si tu trouves un jour la solution
On fêtera tous notre dissolution
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée
On nous avait dit "c'est pour un soir"
On est encore là vingt ans plus tard
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée

Long Distance Love
Long Distance Love
Composer(s): Lowell George
First release by: Little Feat - 1975
Ah, hello ...
Give me missing persons, they said
What is it that you need?
I said oh, I need her so ...
She said you've
Got to stop your pleading
'Cause no matter what you do
Even pray to heaven above, ooh
All you'll ever get from her is
Long distance love
I read the papers
And I got the blues
I'm so sad to hear the news
Help wanted, but not enough
You know these times are gettin' rough
'cause no matter what Ido
Even pray to heaven above
All I ever get from her is long distance love
Woo-oh-ah-ha
You know her toes were so pretty
And her life so sweet
I wonder do she know
Do she she know she hurt me so
'cause no matter what I do
I even pray to heaven above
All I seem to get from her is
Long distance love
Long distance love

In The Air Tonight
In The Air Tonight
Composer(s): Phil Collins
First release by: Phil Collins - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...

Long Dark Road
Long Dark Road
Composer(s): Tony Hicks - Kenny Lynch
Performer(s): The Hollies
It's over, well over
In my mind and in my heart
It's over, well over
But then again, it didn't have a good start
You'd tell me, try to sell me
It could have been all I asked
It's over, well over
Yes, there it flows away a distant past
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
It's over, well over
And we can't revive what's passed
It's gone now, moved on now,
But then again, it didn't have a chance to last
(No, no, no, a chance to last)
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road

In The Afterglow
In The Afterglow
Composer(s): David Gates
Performer(s): Bread
Here in the afterglow of what we've done
What remains here in the after show
Of what we've seen.
Is it strange to be falling away now
Or would you say we should have known
It would end this way and both of us turn to dust
We went deeper deeper in debt to games and lies
We got over our head and never realized
How, when or why
But now as I sit reflecting on your face
In my hand
Now I can see your picture helps retrace
All the steps we took, places we went to
Thoughts that we tried, tripping along
On a love we never understood with no guide
Many things were taken for granted all along
Firm foundations never were planted
All went wrong.
We fell down, and broke in a million pieces
We couldn't put it all together
We couldn't put it all together again

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)
Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)
Composer(s): Roger Greenaway - Roger Cook - Allan Clarke
First release by: The Hollies - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able, boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping under doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her, "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared"
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all ...

Dum-dummy-dum-dummy-dummy-do-dummy-dum)
When I get tired and feelin’ blue
I think of all the things I can do
In summer (In summer)
In summer (In summer)
I swim, or fish, or go for a drive
The whole wide world will come alive
In summer (In summer)
In summer (In summer)
Walkin’ with the boys
Talkin’ with the girls
Laughin’ with the boys and
Kissin’ all the girls
In summer
Every girl and every guy
Has that certain look in their eye
In summer (In summer)
In summer (In summer)
A true love or a summer affair
No one knows and nobody cares
In summer (In summer)
In summer (In summer)
Walkin’ with the boys
Talkin’ with the girls
Laughin’ with the boys and
Kissin’ all the girls
In summer
Walkin’ with the boys
Talkin’ with the girls
Laughin’ with the boys and
Kissin’ all the girls
In summer
So if you’re a lad like me
Things will change most definitely
In summer (In summer)
In summer (In summer)
All your blues will disappear
Doin’ things you’ve planned all year
In summer, (In summer)
Ooh, In summer, (In summer)
Walkin’ with the boys
Talkin’ with the girls
Laughin’ with the boys and
Kissin’ all the girls
In summer
In summer
Roll on summer
Come on summer ...

The Long Black Veil
The Long Black Veil
Composer(s): Danny Dill - Marijohn Wilkin
First release by: Lefty Frizzell - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Ten years ago on a cool dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said ``Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die''
I spoke not a word although it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The sky froze high and eternity neared
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

In Spite Of Ourselves
In Spite Of Ourselves
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine
She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go
In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes
She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
She takes a lickin'
And keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her go
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
He's my baby I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him go
In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes
In spite of ourselves

Long Before I Knew You
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green
Performer(s): Judy Holliday & Sydney Chaplin - 1956
and multiple other artists
Long before I knew you
Long before I met you
I was sure I'd find you someday, somehow
I pictured someone who'd walk and talk
And smile as you do
And make me feel as you do right now
All that was long before I held you
Long before I kissed you
Long before I touched you and felt this glow
But now you really are here
And now at last I know
That long before I knew you I loved you so

I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me to
If you'll be true to me
I'll look after you
Like I've never done before
I'll keep all the others
From knocking at your door
In spite of all the danger
In spite of all that may be
I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me to
If you'll be true to me

That you may cause me

Anything you want me to
If you'll be true to me
I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me to
If you'll be true to me

Long As I Can See The Light
Long As I Can See The Light
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
First release by: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1970
Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move
Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light
Pack my bag and let's get moving, 'cause I'm bound to drift a while
When I'm gone, gone, you don't have to worry long
Long as I can see the light
Guess I've got that old travelling bone, 'cause this feeling won't leave me alone
But I won't, won't be losing my way, no, no
'Long as I can see the light
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh, Yeah!
Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move
Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light

When I'm alone I'm feeling blue
Dreaming a dream of a world that's lovely and true
Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn
Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn
And I know a place to go to find my peace of mind
And I know a place to find my peace of mind
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try

In Search Of Peter Pan
In Search Of Peter Pan
Composer(s): Kate Bush
Performer(s): Kate Bush
It's been such a long week
So much crying
I no longer see a future
I've been told when I get older
That I'll understand
It all
But I'm not sure if I want to
Running into her arms
At the school gates
She whispers that I'm a poor kid
And Granny takes me on her knee
She tells me I'm too sensitive
She makes me sad
She makes me feel like an old man
She makes me feel like an old man
They took the game right out of it
They took the game right out of it
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Dennis loves to look
In the mirror
He tells me that he is beautiful
So I look too, and what do I see?
My eyes are full
But my face is empty
He's got a photo
Of his hero
He keeps it under his pillow
But I've got a pin-up
From a newspaper
Of Peter Pan
I found it in a locket
I hide it in my pocket
They took the game right out of it
They took the game right out of it
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
"When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true"

Long Ago Tomorrow
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Burt Bacharach; B.J. Thomas
Maybe I'll be the things I dream
And not the things I seem
Maybe I'll get to change the world
Before it changes me
And maybe my life
Will always be
Just as happy as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams
Maybe I'll learn to face the truth
And like the truth I face
Maybe I'll get to find myself
Before I'm lost in space
And maybe a love
Will always be
Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams
And maybe a love
Will always be
Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams
