Baby Star
Baby Star
((Adapted from: Movie Star (by Harpo) - 1975))
Composer(s): Harpo - Vline Buggy - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1976
Des cils en soie bleutée
Et des lèvres couleur abricot
Tu voudrais à tout prix ressembler
A Marilyn ou à Garbo
Fume-cigarettes et talons hauts
Avec une robe noire rétro
Mais moi, qui te connaît si bien, qui t'aime
Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi
Baby star, my baby star
Tu es tellement plus belle
Baby star, ô my baby star
Quand tu es naturelle
Star, ha-ha-hain
Tirée des romans d'Hemingway
Ou sortie d'un film de Fellini
Capricieuse comme une reine de Broadway
Comédienne par instinct, tu pleures, tu ries
Tu séduis, tu t'enfuies dans la nuit
Comme un rêve entrevu au hasard d'une rue
Mais moi, qui te connaît et qui t'aime aussi
Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi
Baby star, my baby star
Tu es tellement plus belle
Baby star, ô my baby star
Quand tu es naturelle
Star, ha-ha-hain
Cheveux dans le vent
Dans une robe couleur pois de senteur
C'est ainsi que je t'ai connue
C'est comme ça que je veux te garder
Baby star, my baby star
Tu es tellement plus belle
Baby star, ô my baby star
Quand tu es naturelle
Star, ha-ha-hain

Give Me Your Heart Tonight
Give Me Your Heart Tonight
Composer(s): Billy Livsey
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens
Oh, tonight
I'm walkin' the streets again
Runnin' away
From all of my tears and friends
Oh, tonight
The stars are in darkend skies
They don't hold all the love
I can see in your lonely eyes
'Cos I'm not waiting for a secret
I don't wanna hear a lie
Don't want the promise of tomorrow
Give me your heart tonight
To young
To young to start settling down
I'm gettin' to old
To wanna keep running around
Oh, your love
Is something I don't wanna miss
End up alone
Livin' on a one night kiss
'Cos I'm not crying without reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changin' of the season
Give me your heart tonight
'Cos I'm not waiting for a secret
I don't wanna hear a lie
Don't want the promise of tomorrow
Give me your heart tonight
I'm not crying without reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changin' of the season
Give me your heart tonight
I'm not crying without reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changin' of the season
Give me your heart tonight
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Give me your heart tonight
Ooh-ooh............

Take Time To Know Her
Take Time To Know Her
Performer(s): Percy Sledge
I found a woman
I felt a true love
She was everything
I'd ever been dreaming of
But she was bad, I didn't know it
Her pretty smile never did show it
All I knew is what I could see
And I knew I wanted her for me
Took her home to mama
Mama, wanna see my future bride
Well she looked at us both
Then she called me to her side
She said, "son, take time to know her
It's not an overnight thing
Take time to know her
Please don't go rushin to do your thing
But I didn't listen to my mama
I went straight to the church
I just couldn't wait for that little girl of mine
When I got off from work
The preacher was there
So was my future bride
He looked at us both and he called me to his side
Take time to know her
Not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Don't go rushin to do your thing
But it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all right
But then I came home from work a little early one night
And there she was kissin on another man
Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand
She said, take time to know her
Not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Don't go rushin to do your thing
She said, take time to know her
Not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Don't go rushin to do your thing
Take time to know her ...

Composer(s): Harpo
First release by: Harpo - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
You feel like Steve McQueen
When you're driving in your car
And you think you look like James Bond
When you're smoking your cigar
It's so bizarre
You think you are a new kind of James Dean
But the only thing I've ever seen of you
Was a commercial spot on the screen
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah
You should belong to the jet set
Fly your own private learjet
But you worked in a grocery store
Every day you could afford to get away
So you went to sweden to meet ingrid bergman
But he wasn't there or he yust didn't care
I think it's time for you my friend
To stop pretending that you are a moviestar
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah
Frozen hero
Your words are zero
Your dreams have vanished into dark long ago
But you're the one to know
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah

Give Me Wings
Give Me Wings
Composer(s): Rhonda Fleming; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Michael Johnson;
Highstrung; Don Schlitz
Oh Elaine, you've broken my dreams
It's not as it seemed before
I can see it don't mean to you
What it could mean to me
Been a long time, as the road winds
I'm sideways, in a great haze
I turn, turn ... the page
Oh Elaine, I'm going insane
It's cold and the rain won't do
I'm told I must make this turn
I guess it won't be with you
Chorus
So long, I bid you farewell
I wish you the best, you know
Oh Elaine, if you change your mind
It's me you can find again
Turn, turn ... the page

Take This Town
Take This Town
Composer(s): Andy Partridge - Brian Howe - Terry Thomas
Performer(s): Bad Company; XTC
Living in a rabbit tunnel
Keep the doggie in her kennel
Mustn't let her see the world
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Living under Mum and Daddy
Carry hope just like a caddie
Mustn't let them see you're killed
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Shout it clear for all to hear
You won't shoot this bird down
Shout it clear for all to hear
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
Turn a deaf ear to the orders
Keep them as your perfect daughters
Mustn't let them know their minds
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Turning on to only music
Breaking from their childhood attic
Mustn't let them open the blinds
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Shout it clear for all to hear
You won't shoot this bird down
Shout it clear for all to hear
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
It's time she stopped being your ornament
It's time she put that in the past for permanent
You can't hold her if she wants to roam around around around around around
You can't hold her dream and keep it gagged and bound, gagged and bound
We're going
We're going to
We're going to take
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
We're going to take this

Movie Queen
Movie Queen
Composer(s): Paul Kelly
Performer(s): Bill Anderson
This is a song about a girl from the bayou
down in Louisiana country
The story simply says
She left home at sixteen said she was gonna be a movie queen
Said her hometown was just too small and she had roaches and rats wall to wall
So without a bag of beans she made a change of scenes
Hitched a ride up to New Orleans
With just the clothes on her back and a little brown sack
Said hello to the city where she would learn to act
Gonna be a movie queen gonna be on the big wide screen
Fancy clothes and diamond rings have all the better things
She took a part time job at the Burger King
Went to school at night oh she was doin' her things
Then she started hangin' out with the evening crowd
Gettin' high acclaim before she knew it she was all strung out
She still had that dream of bein' a movie queen
So she decided she'd have to leave New Orleans
Hollywood bound but with her feet on the ground
When she got to the city she took a look around
Said gonna be a movie queen...
Oh but things didn't work out that way they found her dead in her room today
But in my mind I can hear her say I can still hear her say
Gonna be a movie queen...

Give Me The Simple Life
Give Me The Simple Life
Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Rube Bloom
Performer(s): Julie London
I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife?
I never was cut out to step and strut out
Give me the simple life
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
Those things roll off my knife
Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes
Give me the simple life
A cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones you love inside
Some like the high road, I like the low road
Free from the care and strife.
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y
Give me the simple life

Era Um Garoto Que Como Eu Amava Os Beatles E Os Rolling Stones
Era Um Garoto Que Como Eu Amava Os Beatles E Os Rolling Stones
((Adapted from: C'era Un Ragazzo Che Come Me Amava I Beatles E I Rolling Stones (Gianni Morandi) - 1966))
Composer(s): Mauro Lusini - Francesci Migliacci - Paulino Brancato Jr.
Performer(s): Os Incríveis - 1967
Era um garoto, que como eu
amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones
Girava o mundo sempre a cantar
As coisas lindas da América
Não era belo mas mesmo assim
Havia mil garotas, sim
Cantava "Help" and "Ticket to ride"
Oh! "Lady Jane" and "Yesterday"
Cantava viva a liberdade
Mas uma carta sem esperar
Da sua guitarra o separou
Fora chamado na América
Stop! com Rolling Stones
Stop! com Beatles songs
Mandado foi ao Vietnã
Brigar com vietcongs
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Era um garoto, que como eu
amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones
Girava o mundo mas acabou
Fazendo a guerra no Vietnã
Cabelos longos não usa mais
Não toca a sua guitarra e sim
Um instrumento que sempre dá
A mesma nota ratá-tatá
Não tem amigos
Nem mais garotas
Só gente morta caindo ao chão
Ao seu país não voltará
Pois está morto no Vietnã
Stop! com Rolling Stones
Stop! com Beatles songs
No peito coração não há
Mas duas medalhas sim
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Ratá-tatá-tatá
Ratá-tatá-tatá

Now let me take you to the movies Magg

I’m gonna take my Maggie dear to the Western picture show
Now won’t you let me take you to the show so I can hold your hand
Well it ain't that I don't like your house it's just that doggone man

Give Me The Night
Composer(s): Rod Temperton
Performer(s): George Benson;
and various other artists
Whenever dark has fallen
you know the spirit of the party
starts to come alive
Until the day is dawning
you can throw out all your blues
and hit the city lights
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night
Gimme the night
You need the evening action
a place to dine, a glass of wine
a little late romance
It's a chain reaction
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night
Gimme the night
So come on out tonight
and we'll lead the others
on a ride through paradise
And if you feel all right
then we can be lovers 'cause I see that
starlight look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly?
Just gimme the night
Gimme the night
And if we stay together
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high
Never mind the weather
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
So gimme the night
Gimme the night...

Take This Rain
Take This Rain
Composer(s): Jackson Brown
Performer(s): Jackson Brown
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand
But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three
And I can’t find my own
Among the directions they’re all going
Baby it’s alright
Break this chain of love and madness
It’s alright
Take this rain as your new address
It’s alright
Take this rain
It’s alright
Take this rain
’Cause I’ve been running all over creation out of my mind
Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time
Going crazier every day
Watching our love slipping away
’Cause you’re the only home I’ve ever wanted
And the only light I’ve known
But baby it’s alright
Break this chain of love and madness
It’s alright
Take this rain as your new address
It’s alright
Take this rain
It’s alright
Take this rain
You’re going to be free
Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see
Take the way I went on believing
You might still believe in me
And I still want the love I always thought our love could be
But some things can’t be changed
Take this rain
You’re going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name
And know my love and my desperation were one and the same
And where our footprints used to be
There’ll be nothing but the sea
And the tide and the wind and the open sky
And the unbroken horizon
Baby it’s alright
Break this chain of love and madness
It’s alright
Take this pain and all this sadness
It’s alright
Make this rain into your fortress
It’s alright
Take this rain
It’s alright
Take this rain
It’s alright
Take this rain
You’re going to be free

Mover
Composer(s): Earl Montgomery
Performer(s): Jimmy C. Newman
Don't leave the door unlocked tonight
'Cause I ain't comin' home
I've got the urge to hit the road
I've been here much too long
I've got nothin' in the world to lose
Everything's to gain
Travelin' is what I want to do
And the Mover is my name
So come here baby, kiss me goodbye
Let me be on my way
I want to be in Mexico
Tomorrow or next day
I've got a compass in my mind
Showin' me where to roam
So tell my friends when you see 'em
That the Mover said "So long"
Texas, Kansas, Idaho is a waitin' for me
Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota and Tennessee
Hand me my hat, hand me my coat
And my extra pair of shoes
Gonna ride as far as my money goes
Then I'll use my walkin' shoes
So dry your tears, show a smile
I don't wanna see you cry
And I don't wanna hurt you baby of mine
But the Mover says "Goodbye"
Texas, Kansas, Idaho is a waitin' for me
Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota and Tennessee

If there's anyone in doubt
And they'd like to try me out
Give me the moonlight
Give me the girl
And leave the rest to me
And leave the rest to me

Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Well, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it

That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
The foreman is a regular S.O.B.
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks that's cool
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top
And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it
Well I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Take this job and shove it

Move with you darlin'
I wanna mess witcha mess witcha mess witcha
Mess witcha mind
Well now he finally walked in
And Lord that man filled up the doorway
Well he grabbed me by my throat
And he bounced me down the stairs
And Lord I swear, he broke every bone in my body
But it was worth every second that I was there
Cause she would whisper to me...
Move with me, move with me, move with me
Move with me darlin'
I'm gonna mess witcha, mess witcha, mess witcha
Mess witcha mind

All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new, let me find a new love, too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Give my heart just a word of sympathy (sympathy)
Be as fair to my heart as you can be (you can be)

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free (set me free)
