Change Of Habit
Change Of Habit
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - Bernie Weisman
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1969/1970
If you're in old habits
Set in your old ways
Changes are a-comin'
For these are changing days
And if your head is in the sand
While things are goin' on
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
Now if you're in the habit
To let your temper fly
When you talk with people
Who don't see eye to eye
And if you don't believe it
There's a newer world ahead
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
A change of habit, a change of outlook
A change of heart, you'll be all right
The halls of darkness
Have doors that open
It's never too late
To see the light
So if you're in the habit
Of putting people down
Just because they're different
From the wrong side of town
Well, don't count on any medals son
They're pinning none on you
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit

From A Distance
From A Distance
Composer(s): Julie Gold
Performer(s): Bette Midler
From a distance, the world looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance, we all have enough
And no one is in need
There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance, we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man

The Knife Feels Like Justice
The Knife Feels Like Justice
Composer(s): Brian Setzer
Performer(s): Brian Setzer
So you think that you have found
A better life that you should live
And you're through givin' it all away
I wish there's something I could say
Like the time you looked into the mirror
And saw someone else lookin' back
I wish I could find the words
But there's nothing that even comes close
'Cause there ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go when the knife feels like justice
When the sun dies down, the air grows cold
And the moon plays tricks in the night
Crawlin' low like a snake out of sight
Your guide is the northern light
You wanna laugh say I'm insane
Don't have the sense to come in from the rain
I know how to keep myself between the drops
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go when the knife feels like justice
slip away
slip away
slip away
slip away
So you think that you have won me over
By settin' me on fire
With the sound of your beating heart
And you're burnin' hot desire
Like the time I looked at your reflections
And saw someone else lookin' back
It's a shame things happen that way
'Cause there's no one that even comes close
And there ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go when the knife feels like justice
I said you can't go on when the blade tears inside you
You can't go on when the knife feels like justice

Change In The Weather
Change In The Weather
Composer(s): John Fogerty
First release by: John Fogerty - 1986
Aaah!
Change in the weather, change in the weather
Somethin's happenin' here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' round in fear
Uh huh, you better duck and run
Get under cover 'cause the change has come
Storm warning, and it looks like rain
Be nothin' left after the hurricance
This here's a jungle, ain't no lie
Look at the people, terror in their eyes
Bad business comin', can't be denied
They're running with the dogs, afraid to die
Change in the weather, change in the weather
Somethin's happenin' here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' round in fear
Uh huh, you best believe it's true
The levee's busted, badness comin' through
Oh no, there ain't no place to hide
Reach out and pluck you, take you for a ride
Sea of frustration, take everything in sight
Won't be no blessing if we make it through the night
Down on your knees, go ahead and pray
But every demon has to have his day
Change in the weather, change in the weather
Somethin's happenin' here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' round in fear
Well! Oh, God!
High noon, I can't believe my eyes
Wind is ragin', there's a fire in the sky
Ground shakin', everything comin' loose
Run like a coward but it ain't no use
Edge of the river, it's an ugly scene
People gettin' pushed, people gettin' mean
The change is comin' and it's gettin' late
Ain't no survivin', and there ain't no escape
Change in the weather, change in the weather
Somethin's happenin' here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' round in fear
Oh!
Change in the weather, change in the weather
Somethin's happenin' here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' round in fear
Well! Oh, no!

The Kissin' Game
Composer(s): Jerry Vance - Terry Phillips
Performer(s): Dion
Every kiss I ever kissed you
Darlin', came from my heart
But your love was just a play
And the things I heard you say were all a part...
Of the kissin' game
The kissin' game
Yeah, the game, Baby
Where you just played at love
Oh, you never really loved me
Though you kissed me each night
You were lookin' for some fun
And I guess just anyone to hold you tight
In the kissin' game
Umm, the kissin' game
Get out of the game, Baby
Where you just played at love
Don't you know you shouldn't go with some guy
Just because he looks good to the crowd
Use his love for a steppin' stone
Baby, don't feel proud
Because some day you're gonna cry
When you meet someone who
Will pour water on your flame
And play the kissin' game, umm, with you
Don't you know you shouldn't go with someone
Just because he looks good to the crowd
Use his love for a steppin' stone
Baby, now don't you feel proud
He'll pour water on your flame
And play the kissin' game with you
Will pour water on your flame
And play the kissin' game with you
Ah, that kissin' game
The kissin' game
Ah, that kissin' game
That Kissin' game
Ah, that kissin' game
Oh, that kissin' game

Composer(s): Rob Bolland - Ferdi Bolland - Falco
Performer(s): Falco
Train sounds and coughing I always take the 7:30 am train
Going to Brasil city
Well, at this hour of the day, I’m not too well humored
’cause life doesn’t show any pity
You’re always complaining ’bout yourself
And putting things down in the world
Just take a good look at Kathleen Turner
Now there’s one heck of a girl
I’ve been to hell and back but I’m alright Jack
Now I know what love is about
Under the seven moons
I made a solemn vow
I need the kiss of Kathleen Turner right now
I need the kiss of Kathleen Turner right now
Smack! in the middle
Female voice on telephone: hello?
Oh it’s me, I know it’s late
But I just had to call you
I’ll be over real soon
Male voice: Kathleen Kathleen
Is this a dream, or is it real
Is this really happening to me
Or is this just fantasy?
In this world there’s only one woman
Who can make my dreams my dreams come true
And that woman Kathleen
It’s you
Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
He wants a kiss
Not just one, I want lots of kisses
He wants a kiss
Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
He wants a kiss
Hallelujah, he’s in love
Hallelujah, glory, glory

Change De Docteur
Change De Docteur
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Toi tu essaies comme les autres fous
D'arrêter le temps, de le briser d'un seul coup
Et tu plantes tes ongles aux pierres de sa vie
Il t'emporte avec lui
Au moment où tu penses être enfin le plus fort
C'est trop tard, tu dors
Alors tu rêves d'être le prêtre hindou
Qui encense le soir le ciel de Diên Biên Phu
Mais sa voix est trop grave
Mais tu as peur des croix
Qui terminent ses bras
Viens, change de docteur
Viens, j'en connais un meilleur
Il arrache sa vie et te soigne avec ça
Change de docteur
Viens, j'en connais un meilleur
Il déchire la nuit qui coule au fond de toi
Qui coule au fond de toi
Alors tu prends des grains de sucre roux
Et tu deviens la star des flashs, des interviews
Mais tes mots sont trop hauts
Et les mecs des journaux
Ne les comprennent pas
Leurs crayons sont trop fins
Leur soleil est trop bas
Et tout se brise et tu tombes aux genoux
D'une horde de rats
Les princes des égouts
C'est leur chef qui le dit
Je peux sauver ta vie
Si tu couches avec moi
Viens, change de docteur
Viens, j'en connais un meilleur
Il arrache sa vie et te soigne avec ça
Change de docteur
Viens, j'en connais un meilleur
Il déchire la nuit qui coule au fond de toi
Qui coule au fond de toi
Disons qu'un jour il n'y ait plus de tabous
Qu'il n'y ait plus d'interdits
Ni de prêtres jaloux
Juste un grain dans la foule
Une pierre qui roule
Et tout le monde s'en fout
Viens, change de docteur
Viens, j'en connais un meilleur
Il arrache sa vie et te soigne avec ça
Change de docteur
Viens, j'en connais un meilleur
Il déchire la nuit qui coule au fond de toi
Qui coule au fond de toi
Viens, change de docteur
Viens, j'en connais un meilleur
Il déchire la nuit qui coule au fond de toi
Qui coule au fond de toi

Fritt Fram
Fritt Fram
Composer(s): Ola Magnell; Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Lill Lindfors
Du får höra lätta steg i din sovalkov
Och du säjer "förlåt, men se jag låg och sov"
Fritt fram, det kommer en gäst
När jag sover så gott och när jag drömmer som bäst
Fritt fram, det kommer en gäst
När jag sover så gott och när jag drömmer som bäst
Du försöker vara vänlig, tuff ändå
Men han gör ingen min av att vilja gå
Fritt fram, jag släcker mitt ljus
Och då smyger du bakvägen in i mitt hus
Fritt fram, jag släcker mitt ljus
Och då smyger du bakvägen in i mitt hus
Du har sett så många misstag och svikna hopp
Och hur svårt det kan vara att säja stopp
Fritt fram, det kommer en gäst
När jag sover så gott och när jag drömmer som bäst
Fritt fram, det kommer en gäst
När jag sover så gott och när jag drömmer som bäst
Valentino går iväg innan natten flyr
Till en vänare nymf och nya äventyr
Fritt fram, jag släcker mitt ljus
Och då smyger du bakvägen in i mitt hus
Fritt fram, jag släcker mitt ljus
Och då smyger du bakvägen in i mitt hus
Fy skam, ibland är det synd
När det verkar okej och när det spricker igen
Fy skam, ibland är det synd
När det verkar okej och när det spricker igen

The King's New Clothes
The King's New Clothes
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Danny Kaye
and multiple other artists
This is the story of the King's new clothes
Now there was once a king who was absolutely insane about new clothes
and one day, two swindlers came to sell him what they said was a magic suit of clothes
Now, they held up this particular garment and they said, "Your Majesty, this is a magic suit"
Well, the truth of the matter is, there was no suit there at all
But the swindlers were very smart, and they said
"Your Majesty, to a wise man this is a beautiful raiment but to a fool it is absolutely invisible"
Naturally, the King not wanting to appear a fool, said
"Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the line!
The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green
Somebody send for the Queen"
Well they sent for the Queen and they quickly explained to her about the magic
suit of clothes. And naturally, the Queen not wanting to appear a fool, said
"Well, isn't it oh! Isn't it rich! Look at the charm of every stitch!
The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green
Summon the court to convene"
Well the court convened, and you never saw in your life as many people as were at that court
All the ambassadors, the dukes, the earls, the counts, it was just packed with people
and they were all told about the magic suit of clothes
And after they were told they naturally didn't want to appear fools and they said
"Isn't it ohhh! Isn't it ahhh! Isn't it absolutely wheee!
The suit of clothes is altogether, but altogether, it's altogether
The most remarkable suit of clothes a tailor ever made
Now quickly, put it altogether
With gloves of leather and hat and feather
It's altogether the thing to wear in Saturday's parade
Leading the royal brigade"
Now Saturday came and the streets were just lined with thousands and thousands and thousands of people
And they all were cheering as the artillery came by, the infantry marched by, the cavalry galloped by
And everybody was cheering like mad, except one little boy
You see, he hadn't heard about the magic suit and didn't know what he was supposed to see
Well, as the King came by the little boy looked and, horrified, said
"Look at the King! Look at the the King! Look at the King, the King, the King!
The King is in the altogether, but altogether, the altogether
He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born
The King is in the altogether, but altogether, the altogether
It's altogether the very least the King has ever worn"
Summon the court physician! Call an intermission! His majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn
The King is in the altogether, but all together, the altogether
He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born
And it's altogether too chilly a morn!

Le Pondichéry facile

Qu'elle fit voir son comptoir
Sa flore sa géographie

Frim Fram Sauce
Frim Fram Sauce
Composer(s): Joe Ricardel; Redd Evans
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
I don't want French fried potatoes
Red ripe tomatoes
I'm never satisfied
I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafah on the side
I don't want pork chops and bacon
That won't awaken
My appetite inside
I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafah on the side
Now a person's really got to eat
And a person should eat right
Five will get you ten
I'm gonna feed myself right tonight
I don't want fish cakes and rye bread
You heard what I said
Waiter, please serve mine fried
I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafah on the side
A person's really got to eat
And a person should eat right
Five will get you ten
I'm gonna feed myself right tonight
I don't want fish cakes and rye bread
You heard what I said
Waiter, please serve mine fried
I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafah on the side
(I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
with cha fafa, cha fafa, cha fafa, on the side
P-leazzze!)
Nat's ending (no melody):
Now if you don't have it, just bring me a check for the water

The Kingdom
The Kingdom
Performer(s): Milow
Where I'm from there are no mountains
And time is standing still
Where I'm from there's barely space left
Still they're running up a hill
Where I'm from they don't like changes
Even if alarm bells ring
Where I'm from they have a princess
Where I'm from they have a king
Where I'm from they don't like dreamers
They are told to shut their mouth
Where I'm from they're divided
Between the North and the South
Where I'm from it's like a long night
That never turns to day
Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling
Where I'm from they've lost the way
Sing it loud today
Sing it loud today
I'm singing it loud today
I am the one that got away
Where I'm from they just keep rooted
Heads are always hanging low
Where I'm from the Congo River
Never got nowhere to go
Where I'm from words are repeated
But they never really rhyme
Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling
Where I'm from they're losing time
Where I'm from there's a lack of heroes
Both in politics and song
Where I'm from the more they fix it
The faster everything goes wrong
Where I'm from I still remember
So I will sing it every day
That this kingdom is still my kingdom
It's encoded in my DNA

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
