Chandelle
Chandelle
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Elle, elle sort tout droit d'une aquarelle
Avec ses dentelles d'autrefois
Elle est belle comme un chemin de croix
Elle, les enfants l'appellent Chandelle
Parce qu'elle tremble à chaque pas
Mais le prisonnier c'est moi
Si elle a peur, si elle a froid, moi aussi
L'hiver est fait pour que nos corps se serrent
Et se serrent sans bruit
Si elle a peur, si elle a froid, moi aussi
Je suis le premier qui l'appelle
Le premier qui lui ouvre les bras
Comme si chez nous elle n'existait pas
Et d'elle, je reçois quelques nouvelles
Par les oiseaux qu'elle m'envoie
Je suis loin, mais ne t'inquiète pas
Si elle a peur, si elle a froid, moi aussi
L'hiver est fait pour que nos corps se serrent
Et se serrent sans bruit
Si elle a peur, si elle a froid, moi aussi
Mais chacun de ses silences est mortel
Chacun de ses mots de porte au ciel
Hey, d'aussi loin que tu sois
Si tu m'entends, arrête-toi
Toi qui cours pour que ton corps soit transparent
Toi qui pleures que la vie te prend tout ton temps,
Hey, d'aussi loin que tu sois
Si tu m'entends, arrête-toi
Chandelle, c'est ma chanson pour toi
Ma chanson pour toi
Chandelle, c'est toujours le soir de Noël
Quand elle revient vers chez moi
Et même je ne suis pas sûr qu'il ait fait nuit
Entre hier et aujourd'hui

Fritiof Och Carmencita
Fritiof Och Carmencita
Composer(s): Sven-Bertil Taube
Samborombon, en liten by förutan gata
den ligger inte långt från Rio de la Plata
nästan i kanten av den blåa Atlanten
och med Pampas bakom sig många hundra gröna mil
dit kom jag ridande en afton i april
för jag ville dansa tango
Dragspel, fiol och mandolin
hördes från krogen och i salen steg jag in
där på bänken i mantilj och med en ros vid sin barm
satt den bedårande lilla Carmencita
Mamman, värdinnan satt i vrån
hon tog mitt ridspö, min pistol och min manton
Jag bjöd upp och Carmencita sa
'Si gracias señor
Vamos á bailár este tango'
Carmencita lilla vän, håller du utav mig än?
Får jag tala med din pappa och din mamma
jag vill gifta mig med dig, Carmencita!
Nej, don Fritiof Andersson
kom ej till Samborombon
om ni hyser andra planer när det gäller mig
än att dansa tango
Ack, Carmencita gör mig inte så besviken
jag tänker skaffa mig ett jobb här i butiken
sköta mig noga, bara spara och knoga
inte spela och dricka, men bara älska dig
Säg, Carmencita, det är ändå blott med mig
säg, som du vill dansa tango
Nej Fritiof, ni förstår musik
men jag tror inte ni kan stå i en butik
och förresten sa min pappa just idag att han visste
vem som snart skulle fria till hans dotter
En som har tjugotusen kor
och en estancia som är förfärligt stor
Han har prisbelönta tjurar
han har oxar, kor och svin
och han dansar underbar tango
Carmencita, lilla vän, akta dig för rika män!
Lyckan den bor ej i oxar eller kor
och den kan heller inte köpas för pengar
Men min kärlek gör dig rik
skaffa mig ett jobb i er butik
Och när vi blir gifta söta ungar skall vi få, som kan dansa tango

King Of Hollywood
King Of Hollywood
Composer(s): Don Henley - Glenn Frey
Performer(s): Eagles
Well, he sits up there on his leatherette
Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet
When he thinks he wants a closer look
he gets out his little black telephone book
(He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling ,calling, calling
He's calling)
"Come sit down here beside me, honey
Let's have a little heart to heart
Now look at me and tell me, darlin'
how badly do you want this part?
Are you willing to sacrifice?
And are you willing to be real nice?
All your talent and my good taste
I'd hate to see it go to waste"
"We gon' get you an apartment, honey
We gon' get you a car
Yeah, we're gonna take care of you, darlin'
We gon' make you a movie star
For years I've seen 'em come and go"
He says, "I've had 'em all, 'ya know
I handled everything in my own way
I made 'em what they are today"
After 'while nothin' was pretty
After 'while everything got lost
Still, his Jacuzzi runneth over
Still he just couldn't get off
He's just another power junky
Just another silk scarf monkey
You'd know it if you saw his stuff
The man just isn't big enough

Chandelier Of Stars
Chandelier Of Stars
Composer(s): John Williamson
Performer(s): John Williamson
When m' travellin' days are done
Will you still be with me?
When all the songs have been sung
Standin' right beside me
Watchin' the grandkids grow
I've got everything but nothing without you
I've got mountains, I've got rivers
I've got a chandelier of stars
Got blossoms on the Bloodwoods
Friends all 'round the country
And a heart as good as new
I've got everything but nothing without you
Too much time for thinking
It's gonna drive me mad
I walk along the river
I watch a motel movie
But lovers make me sad
I've got everything but nothing without you
So when this life that binds me
Turns me loose
Lets me rest on m' laurels
Will you put y' head on m' shoulder
And share the peaceful years
I've got everything but nothing without you

Friggin' In The Riggin'
Friggin' In The Riggin'
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Sex Pistols; Showcase Showdown
There was a bunch of roadies
And this here is their story
A scurvy bunch of evil twits
Who never say they're sorry
They've traveled cross the nations
Fuckin' paid vacations
We love the schism that they make
They're here for the duration
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
The captains name is Rick
Whose "Bozo-do" is slick
He really thinks he knows it all
He's just a Jersey hick
Wanking, cranking, Georgie
He always finds an orgy
He rubs his balls and picks his nose
He's horny Georgie porgie
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
The kind of sleaze is Ring
Polaroid's his thing
He whipped it out, her teeth fell out
And now it's in a sling
From LA we have Troy
His fetish is Playboy
A smelly trout, he'll eat it out
Go wash your hands you're M.O.I.
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
John Tempesta is The Joker
The Adams apple choker
Sandra Bernhard is his twin
He'd probably even poke her
The B-boy was John Rooney
He was a fuckin' loony
He does a rap, he thinks he's black
He's soft like Gerry Cooney
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
Yo my name is Bill
Dur, bouncing is my skill, duh
Smoke ten packs and use my plaque
Duh, with my breath I'll kill
Thursby is the lard ass
The monitors are his task
The sound they made when the band played
Was like Ed Trunk with bad gas
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
The photobug is Ambo
He'll fill up any hairy hole
We'll blindfold you with dental floss
You burnt out fuckin' bimbo
The bottom line is Z
Oh please don't sit on me
Go wipe your hemorrhoid ridden butt
You 1960's hippie!
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
This here was the story
About our fuckin' roadies
A scurvy bunch of evil twits
Who never say they're sorry
They've traveled cross the nations
Fuckin' paid vacations
We love the schism that they make
They're here for the duration
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do

King Of Clowns
King Of Clowns
((French & German Versions: Je L'attends (Dalida); Hello Boy (Dalida))
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka - Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
Here I come, the king of clowns
As I hide behind this smile and paint the town
Though I cry since you're gone
You'll never know because the show must go on
I've been sad (I've been sad) I've been blue (I've been blue)
Ever since the day that you found someone new (someone new)
I pretend but you can't tell
With my broken heart I play my part so well
Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down
I make believe with a smile
But the king of clowns is crying all the while
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Here comes the king of clowns
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Here comes the king of clowns
There are tears (there are tears) you'll never see (never see)
No you'll never see my tears and pity me (pity me)
Though I'm hurt, still I'm proud
Always laughing as I walk among the crowd
Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down
I make believe with a smile
But the king of clowns is crying all the while
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Here comes the king of clowns
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Here comes the king of clowns
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-li-lo
Here comes the king of clowns...

'Chand D'habits
'Chand D'habits
Composer(s): Emil Stern - R. Alfred
Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Orch. Emil Stern
Dis-moi, 'chand d'habits
N'as-tu pas trouvé
Parmi le lot de mes vieilles défroques
Que, ce matin, je te vendis à regret
'Chand d'habits, parmi elles
N'as-tu trouvé, tout en loques
Triste, lamentable, déchiré
Un douloureux cœur abandonné?
Rends-moi, je t'en prie, mon ami
Cette chose meurtrie...
C'est mon pauvre cœur... j'en ai besoin...
Crois-tu, mon vieux, que c'est bête!
Quand tu est venu à mon appel
Faire l'emplette
Je croyais bien n'y pas tenir autant...
Quand tu partis chargé de ton triste fardeau
Tout mon passé suivit, et je pleure...
Je pleure mes soucis, mon enfance
Mes chers amours qui ne sont plus que souvenance...
Rends-moi mon pauvre cœur
Triste objet périmé...
Revends-moi la joie qui m'a quittée...
Dis! 'chand d'habits!...
Cette pauvre chose, c'était pour l'oubli...
C'est toute ma vie...
Oui...
Dis-moi, 'chand d'habits
Parmi mes défroques
N'as-tu pas trouvé mon pauvre cœur en loques? ...

Denver
Denver
Composer(s): Randy Sparks
Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels
(Come on big mule!)
I was drivin' a rig out o' Texas
All loaded an' bound for Cheyenne
Takin' my pleasures so freely
Just a good lovin' ramblin' man
I had a way with the ladies
Sweet Daddy was my middle name
Till I got to a place they called Denver
An' I ain't never been quite the same
I've been to Saint Louis an' Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
That's where I'm settlin' down
Well, I kissed her an' swore that I loved her
I told her some day she'd be mine
Then I laughed all the way back to Texas
Hah-hah, to think she'd believe that ol' line
Well, I got to pining for Denver
It's funny how things come to be
As I slipped the ring on her finger
Well, I knew that the laugh was on me
I've been to Saint Louis an' Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
That's where I'm settlin' down
Now all you young fellas take warning
You single men, run for your life
Be careful an' stay out o' Denver
Or else you'll wind up with a wife
You'll walk down the street unsuspectin'
An' you won't believe what you see
'Cause the prettiest girls live in Denver
Lord, you'll wind up happy, like me
I've been to Saint Louis an' Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
That's where I'm settlin' down
Got me a woman in Denver, Lord
That's where I'm settlin' down

De alto cedro voy para marcané
Luego a cuelto voy para mayari
El carino que te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar
Cuando Juanita y chan chan
En el mar cernian arena
Como sacudia el «jibe»
A Chan Chan le daba pena
Limpia el camino de paja
Que yo me quiero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y asi no puedo llegar
De alto cedro voy para marcané
Luego a cuelto voy para mayari

If you're ever in a jam, here I am

If you're ever up a tree, phone to me
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell
If you ever lose your teeth, and you're out to dine... borrow mine
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgate
Ours will still be great
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, chuck, chuck, chuck
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose
If they ever put a bullet through your brain... I'll complain
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship

Girl, you look mighty good to me
And I know that you've got to be
The kind of girl I could love
You've got the sweetest pair of eyes
And your kiss would be paradise

You do something to my soul
That no one's ever done
If you're looking for true love
Then let me be the one
Girl, deep in my soul I'm sure
And my heart has no doubt that you're
The kind of girl I could love
The kind of girl I could love

Chances Are (Johnny Mathis)
Chances Are
Composer(s): Al Stillman - Robert Allen
First release by: Johnny Mathis - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists
Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you
Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine
In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good
In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good
The chances are your chances are awfully good

Friends With You

Performer(s): John Denver; Bill & Taffy;
Jackie Lee; Starland Vocal Band
What a friend we have in time
Gives us children, makes us wine
Tells us what to take or leave behind
And the gifts of growing old
Are the stories to be told
Of the feelings more precious than gold
Friends I will remember you
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you
Babies' days are never long
Mother's laugh is baby's song
Gives us all the hope to carry on
Friends I will remember you
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you
Friends I will remember you
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you
Friends I will remember you
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you

The Kind Of Boy You Can't Forget
Composer(s): Jeff Barry
Performer(s): The Jelly Beans
(Male singing "Diddle-diddle-diddle-it" followed by female singing of the same
this occurs frequently throughout the song)
I remember when I first saw him
Something told me that I couldn't ignore him
& I've been dreamin' of him every night ever since we met
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)
I remember when I first kissed him
He touched my hand & then I couldn't resist him
& though he kissed me 'bout a week ago, I ain't got over it yet
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)
Wo wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo wo
I could be so happy knowing he was mine (yeah yeah yeah) all the time
& I could make him happy, I would treat him good, yes I would, wo wo
Wo wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo wo
Gotta tell him that I adore him
There is nothin' that I wouldn't do for him
I won't be happy till I make him mine & a wedding day is set
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)

Chances Are
Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & Martina McBride - 1998
Chances are you'll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems I always end up driving by
Ever since I've known you
It seems you're on my way
All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night
Be with you 'til morning light
I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace and your style
And now you're all I long to see
You've come to mean so much to me
Chances are I'll see you
In my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have
You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best I've evermet
And I'll be dreaming of the future
And hoping you'll be by my side
And in the morning I'll be longing for the night
For the night
Chances are I'll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have
You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best I've ever met

Performer(s): Queen; Prince Lasha;
The London Symphony Orch.; The Starlite Orch.
Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctor's on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy love 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end
It's so easy love 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands 'cos right till the end
Friends will be friends

First release by: Echo & The Bunnymen - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give your... self to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
