Sunspot Baby
Sunspot Baby
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger
She packed up her bags and she took off down the road
Left me here stranded with the bills she owed
She gave me a false address
Took off with my American Express
Sunspot Baby
She sure had me way outguessed
She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune on my credit card
She used my address and my name
Man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
She sure has a real good time
I looked in Miami
I looked in Negril
The closest I came was a month old bill
I checked the Bahamas and they said she was gone
I can't understand why she did me so wrong
But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Said she was going to visit sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time

Lorsque S'en Vient Le Soir
Lorsque S'en Vient Le Soir
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Lorsque s'en vient le soir qui tourne par la porte
Vivre à la profondeur soudain d'un champ de blé
Je te retrouve amour avec mes mains tremblées
Qui m'es la terre tendre entre les feuilles mortes
Et nous nous défaisons de nos habits volés
Rien n'a calmé ces mains que j'ai de te connaître
Gardant du premier soir ce trouble à te toucher
Je te retrouve amour si longuement cherchée
Comme si tout à coup s'ouvrait une fenêtre
Et si tu renonçais à toujours te cacher
Je suis à tout jamais ta scène et ton théâtre
Où le rideau d'aimer s'envole n'importe où
L'étoile neige en moi son éternel mois d'août
Rien n'a calmé ce coeur en te voyant de battre
Il me fait mal à force et rien ne m'est si doux
Tu m'es pourtant toujours la furtive passante
Qu'on retient par miracle au détour d'un instant
Rien n'a calmé ma peur je doute et je t'attends
Dieu perd les pas qu'il fait lorsque tu m'es absente
Un regard te suffit à faire le beau temps
Lorsque s'en vient le soir qui tourne par la porte
Vivre à la profondeur soudain d'un champ de blé
Je te retrouve amour avec mes mains tremblées
Qui m'es la terre tendre entre les feuilles mortes
Et nous nous défaisons de nos habits volés

Sunshine, Sunshine
Sunshine, Sunshine
Composer(s): James Taylor
Performer(s): Tom Rush; Smooth Citizen; James Taylor
Sounds of laughter here comes sunshine
Smiling faces all around
They possess you bless you sunshine
Now you can never let them down
I say sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Is that a cloud across your smile or did you dream again last night
It’s best you rest inside a while as blue doesn’t seem to suit you right
Things ain’t what they used to be pain and rain and misery
Illness in the family and sunshine means a lot to me
I say sunshine
But could it be sunshine is drifting with midnight
And lonely when everyone’s gone
Blue crystal spirits and gardens in moonlight
Leave weak alone and bleak all quiet and grey by dawn
Sunshine sunshine
Rising to late to chase the cold and failing to change the frost to dew
She’s trading her mood of yellow gold for frost bitten shades of silver
Blue
Friends and lovers past and gone and no-one waiting further on
I’m running short of things to be and sunshine means quiet a lot to me
I say sunshine... sunshine

L'orphelin
L'orphelin
Composer(s): Georges Brassens - Jean Bertola
Performer(s): Maxime le Forestier
Sauf dans le cas fréquent, hélas!
Où ce sont de vrais dégueulasses
On ne devrait perdre jamais
Ses père et mère, bien sûr, mais
À moins d'être un petit malin
Qui meurt avant d'être orphelin
Ou un infortuné bâtard
Ça nous pend au nez tôt ou tard
Quand se drapant dans un linceul
Ses parents le laissent tout seul
Le petit orphelin, ma foi
Est bien à plaindre
Toutefois
Sans aller jusqu'à décréter
Qu'il devient un enfant gâté
Disons que dans son affliction
Il trouve des compensations
D'abord au dessert aussitôt
La meilleure part du gâteau
Et puis plus d'école, pardi
La semaine aux quatre-jeudis
On le traite comme un pacha
A sa place on fouette le chat
Et le trouvant très chic en deuil
Les filles lui font des clins d'œil
Il serait par trop saugrenu
D'énumérer par le menu
Les faveurs et les passe-droits
Qu'en l'occurrence on lui octroie
Tirant même un tel bénéfice
En perdant leurs parents, des fils
Dénaturés regrettent de
N'en avoir à perdre que deux
Hier j'ai dit à un animal
De flic qui me voulait du mal
Je suis orphelin, savez-vous?
Il me répondit: je m'en fous
J'aurais eu quarante ans de moins
Je suis sûr que par les témoins
La brute aurait été mouchée
Mais ces lâches n'ont pas bougé
Aussi mon enfant si tu dois
Etre orphelin, dépêche-toi
Tant qu'à perdre tes chers parents
Petit, n'attends pas d'être grand
L'orphelin d'âge canonique
Personne ne le plaint: bernique!
Et pour tout le monde il demeure
Orphelin de la onzième heure
Celui qui a fait cette chanson
A voulu dire à sa façon
Que la perte des vieux est parfois perte sèche, blague à part
Avec l'âge c'est bien normal
Les plaies du cœur guérissent mal
Souventes fois même, salut!
Elles ne se referment plus

L'Oriental (On M'Appelle L'Oriental)
Composer(s): Youcef Hedjajd
Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental
Le brun au regard fatal
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental
Car moi je suis sentimental
Et pourtant je ne fais pas de mal
On m'a surnommé l'Oriental
On critique ma vie
Mais on aime ma compagnie
À tout instant mon cœur s'attache
Mon cœur joue à cache-cache
Même quand je n'ai pas un dollar
Je chante et j'oublie mon cafard
On m'a surnommé l'Oriental
Car moi je suis sentimental
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental
Le brun au regard fatal
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental
Car moi je suis sentimental
Et pourtant je ne fais pas de mal
On m'a surnommé l'Oriental
Chansons tristes ou chansons gaies
Moi je chante ce qu'il me plaît
C'est la musique qui m'affole
Musique orientale ou espagnole
La chanson c'est comme l'amour
Ça fait rêver la nuit le jour
On m'a surnommé l'Oriental
Tellement je suis sentimental
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental
Le brun au regard fatal
Et l'on m'appelle l'Oriental
Car moi je suis sentimental
Et pourtant je ne fais pas de mal
On m'a surnommé l'Oriental

Sunshine Superman
Sunshine Superman
((Italian Version: Il Superuomo (by Gianni Pettenati))
Composer(s): Donovan
First release by: Donovan - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways
It'll take time, I know it but in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Superman or green lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah!
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand
I'll pick up your hand

L'orgue Des Amoureux
L'orgue Des Amoureux
Composer(s): André Varel - Charly Bailly - Francis Carco
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
and multiple other artists
Un vieil orgue de Barbarie
Est venu jouer l'autre jour
Sous ma fenêtre, dans la cour
Une ancienne chanson d'amour
Et pour que rien, rien ne varie
Amour rimait avec toujours
En écoutant cette romance
Qui me rappelait le passé
Je crus que j'en avais assez
Mais comme hélas, tout recommence
Tout hélas a recommencé
Tout hélas a recommencé
Je t'ai donné mon cœur
Je t'ai donné ma vie
Et mon âme ravie
Malgré ton air moqueur
Reprenons tous en chœur
Est à toi pour la vie
C'est pourtant vrai, lorsque j'y pense
Que je l'aimais éperduement
Et que jamais aucun amant
Ne m'a causé plus de tourments
Mais voilà bien ma récompense
D'avoir pu croire en ses serments
Il a suffi d'une aventure
Plus banale en vérité
Pour qu'un beau soir, sans hésiter
Il obéit à sa nature
Je ne l'avais pas mérité
Je ne l'avais pas mérité
Je t'ai donné mon cœur
Je t'ai donné ma vie
Et mon âme ravie
Malgré ton air moqueur
Reprenons tous en chœur
Est à toi pour la vie
Que pouvons-nous contre nous-mêmes?
Chacun de nous suit son chemin
C'est le sort de tous les humains
Mais ceux qui vont main dans la main
En se disant tout bas "je t'aime"
Devraient songer aux lendemains
Sur une triste ritournelle
Dont l'écho s'est vite envolé
L'orgue à la fin s'en est allé
Et, pardonnant à l'infidèle
J'ai chanté pour me consoler
J'ai chanté pour me consoler
Je t'ai donné mon cœur
Je t'ai donné ma vie
Et mon âme ravie
Malgré ton air moqueur
Reprenons tous en chœur
Est à toi pour la vie
Je t'ai donné mon cœur, je t'ai donné ma vie ...

Il Superuomo
Il Superuomo
((Adapted from: Sunshine Superman (by Donovan) - 1966))
Composer(s): Donovan - Herbert Pagani
Performer(s): Gianni Pettenati
Sai superman a che ora
Lei pensa a te
Al tuo denaro e all'oro, che conta per te
Ed io son rimasto solo
A chiedermi se
Ama l'uomo nuovo
O quel che eri tu
Quando m'insegnavi
A credere all'amor
Ma ora io so... che superuomo strano
Pero' ci sei tu
Ma forse un giorno credi
Non lo sarai piu'
Se lei vuole il mondo intero
O il sole lassu'
Tu hai gia' volato in cielo e ancora di piu'
Ma quel superuomo
Sei sempre piu' che mai
Uh uh uh uh uh
Ed io son rimasto solo
Col pianto nel cuor
Sei un superuomo e il vento ti porta con se
Ha cancellato il sole che non splende piu'
Ed io son rimasto solo
E gia' spero che
Lei prenda ancora il volo insieme a me
Non ha piu' denaro
Da comperare un cuor
Uh uh uh uh uh
Sai che ho cercato invano in fondo al tuo cuor
Ma le mie parole
Non hai ascoltato mai
Uh uh uh uh uh nel mio giardino ieri
Eri con me

Lorelei
Lorelei
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung - James Young
Performer(s): Styx
When I think of Lorelei my head turns all around
As gentle as a butterfly she moves without a sound
I call her on the telephone, she says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in and I can hardly wait
The way she moves, ooh-ooh
I gotta say
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Her eyes become of Paradise, she softly speaks my name
She brightens every lonely night, no one's quite the same
She calls me on the telephone, she says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in, it's time to celebrate
The way she moves, ooh-ooh
I gotta say
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you the day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high

Lordly Nightshade
Lordly Nightshade
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): The Incredible Stringband
Captured by Hitler with Oliver Twist in the tower
Guards say here's pens and paper just sit down and work for an hour
O, Goodness, how can we escape? but it's not worthwhile
All I can do is smile
Down gallons of glandular corridors of the dark castle
The pompous old bellman is tolling one bell
At bathtime the hippies in chains they are crossing the hall
Where Hitler is making his new film about it all
We slip trough a pew and escape but I just don't know
All I can do is grow
Tell me more, what then
Down Main Street I go on a duffel-coat hoping instead
For a little room, yawn, I'm so tired with this big bag of coal on my head
It's a top hat I'm trying to sell or a lesson to learn
Vaguely seeking some fire to burn
While a group of middle-aged persons with dwarfish expressions and
tinned conversations in Sunday blessed blue
Standing around for a photograph, watch the cuckoo
Do you need any coal? But it doesn't appear that they do
Then I offered my throat to the wolf but I just can't die
All I can do is fly
Safe and secure in the skirts of the midsummer wood
Cooking soup with stale words and fresh meanings it tastes so good
The green wolf with his bunch of red roses is slinking away
All on a summer's day

It’s getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you my love
To give you my dawn surprise
I’ll be with you darling soon
I’ll be with you when the stars start falling
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love
I’m with you my love
The light’s shining through on you
Yes, I’m with you my love
It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you darling now
I’ll stay with you till my seas are dried up
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

Lord, Mr. Ford
Lord, Mr. Ford
Composer(s): Dick Feller
Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Well, if you're one of the millions who own one of them gas drinking, piston clinking
air polluting, smoke belching, four wheeled buggies from Detroit City, then pay attention
I'm about to sing your song son
Well, I'm not a man appointed judge
To bear ill-will and hold a grudge
But I think it's time I said me a few choice words
All about that demon automobile
A metal box with the polyglass wheel
The end result to the dream of Henry Ford
Well, I've got a car that's mine alone
That me and the finance company own
A ready made pile of manufactured grief
And if I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain
I'm a-changing a flat in a hurricane
I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf
Well, it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam
That makes me the bitter fool I am
But this four wheel buggy is a-dollaring me to death
For gas and oils and fluids and grease
And wires and tires and anti-freeze
And them accessories, well honey that's something else
Well, you can get a stereo tape and a color tv
Get a backseat bar and reclining seats
And just pay once a month, like you do your rent
Well, I figured it up and over a period of time
This four thousand dollar car of mine
Costs fourteen thousand dollars and ninety-nine cents
Well, now Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see
What your simple horseless carriage has become
Well, it seems your contribution to man
To say the least, got a little out of hand
Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done
Now the average American father and mother
Own one whole car and half another
And I bet that half a car is a trick to buy, don't you?
But the thing that amazes me I guess
Is the way we measure a man's success
By the kind of an automobile he can afford to buy
Well now, red light, green light, traffic cop
Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop
Get out the credit card honey, we're out of gas
Well, now all the car's placed end to end
Would reach to the moon and back again
And there'd probably be some fool pull out to pass
Well now, how I yearn for the good old days
Without that carbon monoxide haze
A-hanging over the roar of the interstate
Well, if the Lord that made the moon and stars
Would have meant for me and you to have cars
He'd have seen that we was all born with a parking space
Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see
What your simple horseless carriage has become
Well, it seems your contribution to man
To say the least, got a little out of hand
Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done
Come away with me Lucille
In my smoking, choking automobile

Performer(s): Herman's Hermits
Sunshine girl I'm leaving soon
I'll be back some day
Sunshine girl I feel your eyes on me
Your looks excite me
I wonder can it be
Do you invite me
To hold you tightly
How you delight me
My sunshine girl
Tonight, tonight, and every night
I wanna be beside you
Tonight, tonight, and every night
I'll be the one to guide you
Happy and most empty
On the blue lagoon light hike
To sunshine girl
My sunshine girl
Sunshine girl, now I must go away
'Cause this was only
A summer holiday
But one day, I'll be
Returning, you'll see
Across the blue sea
My sunshine girl
Tonight, tonight, and every night
I wanna dream about you
Tonight, tonight, and every night
How can I live without you
When I'm home, then everyone will hear about
My little sunshine girl, my sunshine girl
Tonight, tonight, and every night
I'm gonna dream about you
Tonight, tonight, and every night
How can I live without you
When I'm home, then everyone will hear about
My little sunshine girl, my sunshine girl
Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon
But I'll be back some day
Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon
But I'll be back some day
Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon
But I'll be back some day ...

Sending up my plea
I've been bending low

Hell is an awful, awful place
When I cease to roam

Far beyond the setting sun
When my race is run

Hell is an aweful, awful place

I was saved by amazing grace

First performance by: Jasmine - 1996
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa
Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan
Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan
Luonas olla tahdon vaan
Joka sekunnin, jonka kanssas olla saan
Joka minuutin, tunnen yhä varmemmin
Rakkaus ikuinen, kohtalomme yhteinen
Se uni suloinen, kuin on
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa
Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan
Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan
Luonas olla tahdon vaan
Joka sekunnin, jonka luonas olla saan
Joka minuutin, tunnen yhä paremmin
Voima tunteiden, meille sykkii rakkauden
Se uni suloinen kuin uni on, on
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa
Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan
Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan
Luonas olla tahdon vaan
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa
Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan
Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan
Luonas olla tahdon vaan
Luonas olla tahdon vaan

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good
Lord have you forgotten me
I've been prayin' to you faithfully
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man
But Lord I hope you understand
I don't need fortune and I don't need fame
Send down the thunder Lord, send down the rain
But when you're plannin' just how it should be
Plan a good day for me
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good
You've been the king since the dawn of time
All that I'm asking is a little less cryin'
It might be hard for the devil to do
But it would be easy for you
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good
