Close The Door (The Stargazers)
Close The Door
Composer(s): Ebb; Klein
Performer(s): The Stargazers
Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah
Look out!
Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah
Close the door, they're comin' through the window
Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs
Close the door
They're hangin' off the ceiling
Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere
He was watering the flowers by the window sill
And then he saw them comin' over yonder hill
Why, there must have been a million of every shape and size
And so I yelled to everyone
"You'd better get inside"
Close the door, they're comin' through the window
Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs
Close the door
They're hangin' off the ceiling
Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere
He ran into the playroom, grabbed a cricket bat
And every time he met one, he gave him this and that
That's how it drove me crazy and had me mystified
The more and more I knocked 'em down, the more they multiplied
Close the door, they're comin' through the window
Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs
Close the door
They're hangin' off the ceiling
Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere
They got into the kitchen, they got into the sink
They went into the cellar and poured themselves a drink
They got on the piano, ran up and down the keys
And soon I was a-standin' in 'em right up to me knees
Close the door, they're comin' through the window
Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs
Close the door
They're hangin' off the ceiling
Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere
Now that all the fuss is over, I sink into my chair
This house is all a shambles, but really I don't care
I'm going to take it easy, try not to think of them
(Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah)
Here they come again!
Close the door, they're comin' through the window
Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs
Close the door
They're hangin' off the ceiling
Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere
Close the door, close the door
Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere
(Bah-dah)

Retrato Em Branco E Preto
Retrato Em Branco E Preto
Composer(s): Chico Buarque de Hollanda;
Antonio Carlos Jobim
Performer(s): Chico Buarque;
and various other artists
Já conheço os passos dessa estrada
Sei que não vai dar em nada
Seus segredos sei de cor
Já conheço as pedras do caminho
E sei também que ali sozinho
Eu vou ficar, tanto pior
O que é que eu posso contra o encanto
Desse amor que eu nego tanto
Evito tanto
E que no entanto
Volta sempre a enfeitiçar
Com seus mesmos tristes velhos fatos
Que num álbum de retrato
Eu teimo em colecionar
Lá vou eu de novo como um tolo
Procurar o desconsolo
Que cansei de conhecer
Novos dias tristes, noites claras
Versos, cartas, minha cara
Ainda volto a lhe escrever
Pra dizer que isso é pecado
Eu trago o peito tão marcado
De lembranças do passado
E você sabe a razão
Vou colecionar mais um soneto
Outro retrato em branco e preto
A maltratar meu coração

The Roots Of My Raisin'
The Roots Of My Raisin'
Performer(s): Merle Haggard
I left the four lane highway to flatop seven miles
Down by the old country school I went to as a child
Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home
A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone
The roots of my rasin' run deep
I've come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
The roots of my rasin' run deep
I pulled into the driveway, Lord, it sure was good to be there
and I could see through the open door that Dad was asleep in his favorite chair
In his hand was a picture of Mom and I remembered how close they were
So I just turned away, I didn't want to wake him and spoil his dreams of her
A christian who had the strength to lie the way she did
Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids
Dad, a quiet man, who's gentle voice was seldom heard
Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word
The roots of my rasin' run deep
I've come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
The roots of my rasin' run deep
The roots of my rasin' run deep

Close The Door (Teddy Pendergrass)
Close The Door
Composer(s): Kenny Gamble; Leon Huff
Performer(s): Teddy Pendergrass
Close the door
Let me give you what you've been waiting for
Baby I got so much love to give
I wanna give it all to you
Close the door
No need to worry no more
Let's bring this day to a pleasant end
Girl it's me and you now
I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me
Close the door
Let me rub your back where you say it's sore
Come on get closer
So close to me
Let's get lost in each other
Come here baby
I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me
Close the door baby
And let me know you're mine
Plenty good lovin' all through the night
And then again and then again
When the morning comes

Retour D'Asie
Retour D'Asie
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Dans un avion venant d'Asie
Quatre bébés sont endormis
Un bracelet dit leurs prénoms
Sur du tulle à l'encre marron
Leur adresse est à l'arrivée
Dans la salle des pas retrouvés
Terminus de l'aéroport
Où des cœurs battent un peu plus fort
C'est toute la force de la vie
Qui fait les hommes et les fourmis
Il en reste toujours assez
Pour survivre et recommencer
On ne peut réduire au silence
Les voix qui chantent une espérance
On ne peut vaincre un idéal
Avec des chars ou bien des balles
Des maisons basses aux toits de palme
Au bord d'un canal aux eaux calmes
Le temps glissait comme un bateau
Sur les hommes et sur les roseaux
Des enfants nus dans l'eau du fleuve
S'éclaboussaient avant qu'il pleuve
Au pied d'un temple au toit doré
Sous les yeux du Bouddha couché
Que reste-t-il de cette Asie
Qui s'écoulait en harmonie
Entre les barques du marché
Les épices et les orchidées?
Où sont les bronzes et leurs ombrelles
Fleurs de safran sur la ruelle
Avançant à pas mesurés
Vers le seuil de l'éternité?
Les odeurs de poudre et de sang
Ont chassé les parfums d'encens
Assombri la boue des rizières
Et brisé les hommes et la terre
Du haut du temple abandonné
Le sourire du bouddha figé
Ne contemple les yeux baissés
Que des ruines et du temps gâché
Où s'en vont les pensées fleuries
Qui s'envolaient vers les esprits
Des colliers de fleurs des autels
En offrande aux âmes immortelles
Les éclats de rire se sont tus
Avec les enfants disparus
Les bonheurs enfouis dans la terre
Sous les cendriers et sous la poussière
Et pourtant gravé dans l'ivoire
Du silence et de la mémoire
Se transmet à mots défendus
Tout l'espoir qui semblait perdu
Le courage et la volonté
De se battre et de résister
À la peur et à la souffrance
À la mort et l'indifférence
C'est toute la force de la vie
Qui fait les hommes et les fourmis
Il en reste toujours assez
Pour survivre et recommencer
On ne peut réduire au silence
Les voix qui chantent une espérance
On ne peut vaincre un idéal
Avec des chars ou bien des balles
Dans un avion venant d'Asie
Quatre bébés sont endormis
Un bracelet dit leurs prénoms
Sur du tulle
À l'encre marron...

The Roof Is Leaking
The Roof Is Leaking
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins; The Matthew Show
The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
Kids are crying 'cause the sheets are so cold
I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old
It's been months now, since we heard from our Mary
I wonder if she ever made the coast
She and her young man, they both moved out there
But I sure hope they write, just to let us know
And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
'Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
But Spring will soon be here,
Oh God I hope it's not late
Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them
Tried their hardest to make it a home
Seems so long now since they passed over
Hope my children will try to make it their own
The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
Kids are crying, 'cause the sheets are so cold
I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old
And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
'Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
But Spring will soon be here
Oh God I hope it's not late

Close The Door (Joe Tex)
Close The Door
Composer(s): Joe Tex
Performer(s): Joe Tex
Baby now I've got to go and leave you
But I'll be back
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Now I trust you to be a good baby
You know how to act
Hey hey hey
Close your door
But it's your so-called friends
Especially the men
That I don't trust at all
So keep your friends outdoors
Keep both doors closed
Because nobody knows who comes and goes
When the doors ain't closed
Hey hey hey
Close your door
I don't mind you and your girlfriends
Playing some cards
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Just as long as you play cards
Out in the yard
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Now you can even fix lunch
And bore the whole bunch
And make them feel at home
But keep your friends outdoors
Keep both doors closed
Because nobody knows who comes and goes
When the doors ain't closed
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Yeah, the next house ideal
Won't have but one latch
Hey hey hey
Close your door
So the way that you go in
That's the way you come out
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Now, it's such a shame
We have no window pane
And one door is bad enough
So, keep that one door closed
And keep our friends outdoors
`Cause nobody knows who comes and goes
When the doors ain't closed
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Alright
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Hey hey hey
Close your door ...

Retour (Edith Piaf)
Retour
Composer(s): J. Heyne; G. Masset
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Tu retournes au pays, camarade
Et la paix va renaître pour toi
Laisse-là ton fusil, tes grenades
On t'espère en te tendant les bras
Pense à nous, qui restons à la guerre
Les soirs calmes où ton cœur aimera
Et va dire à mon père, à ma mère
Qu'à Noël, peut-être, on reviendra...
Ne leur dit rien du front
Ne parle pas du feu
Et mens quand il faudra mentir
Dis-leur que nous chantions
Quand tu as dû partir
En buvant tous le verre d'adieu
Tu retournes au pays, camarade
Et la paix va renaître pour toi
Laisse-là ton fusil, tes grenades
On t'espère en te tendant les bras
Pense à nous, qui restons à la guerre
Les soirs calmes où ton cœur aimera
Et va dire à mon père, à ma mère
Qu'à Noël, peut-être, on reviendra...

The Roof Comes Tumbling Down

Well I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
The roof comes tumbling down

The roof comes tumbling down
I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
The roof comes tumbling down

Close Friends
Performer(s): The Poni-Tails
Close friends
Ahh, ahh
I hope that you don't tell
Close friends
Ahh, ahh
I think we're doing well
I love you darling
More than I can say
I need you darling
Every minute of the day
I'm sorry now
For the things I didn't do
But must we spend our lives
Just being close friends
Ahh, ahh
I ask you not to say
Ahh, ahh
Don't think of us that way
So baby, please come back
To me, someday
You went away
You left me all alone and blue
You won't believe this
But I'm still in love with you
I'm sorry now
For the things I didn't do
Or must we spend our lives
Just being close friends

Retour (Charles Aznavour)
Retour
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour;
Les Compagnons de la Chanson; Pierre Roche
Des lacs, des plaines
Des montagnes, des bois
Mes souvenirs m'entraînent
Sous le ciel de chez moi
Jeunesse heureuse
Qui par les jours d'hiver
Sur les pentes neigeuses
Va glisser au grand air
Tout cela me hante
Me ramène un instant sous mon toit
Mes rêves chantent
Les refrains que l'on chantait chez moi
Mon coeur espère
Malgré moi je souris
Bonjour ma mère
Je reviens au pays
Je suis parti de ville en ville
Par les sentiers, par les chemins
Vers le hasard de mon destin
Fragile
L'air était plein de souvenirs
Je n'ai gardé que souvenirs
Des lacs, des plaines
Des montagnes, des bois
Mes souvenirs m'entraînent
Sous le ciel de chez moi
Jeunesse heureuse
Qui par les jours d'hiver
Sur les pentes neigeuses
Va glisser au grand air
Tout cela me hante
Me ramène un instant sous mon toit
Mes rêves chantent
Les refrains que l'on chantait chez moi
Mon coeur espère
Malgré moi je souris
Bonjour ma mère
Je reviens au pays

The Rolling Of The Stones
The Rolling Of The Stones
(Traditional)
Will you go to the rolling of the stones
Or the dancing of the ball?
Or will you go and see pretty Susie
And dance among them all
I will not go to the rolling of the stones
Or the tossing of the ball
But I will go and see pretty Susie
And dance among them all
They hadn't danced but a single dance
More than once or twice around
Before the sword at her true love's side
Gave him his fatal wound
They picked him up and carried him away
For he was sore distressed
They carried him and buried him all
in the greenwoods
Where he was wont to rest
Pretty Susie she came awandering by
With a tablet under her arm
Until she came to her true love's grave
And she began to charm
She charmed the fish out of the sea
And the birds out of their nests
She charmed her true love out of his grave
So he could no longer rest
Will you go to the rolling of the stones
Or the dancing of the ball?
Or will you go and see pretty Susie
And dance among them all
I will not go to the rolling of the stones
Or the tossing of the ball
But I will go and see pretty Susie
And dance among them all

Close Every Door
Close Every Door
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Tim Rice
Performer(s): Tim Rice
Close every door to me
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me
Hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find
My own peace of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own
Just give me a number
Instead of my name
Forget all about me and let me decay
I do not matter
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely then throw me away
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own peace of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own

Retouches À Un Roman D'Amour De Quatre Sous
Retouches À Un Roman D'Amour De Quatre Sous
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Madame, même à quatre sous
Notre vieux roman d'amour sou-
ffrirait certes quelque mévente
Il fut minable. Permettez
Que je farde la vérité
La réinvente {2x}
On se rencontra dans un car
Nous menant en triomphe au quart
Une nuit de rafle à Pigalle
Je préfère affirmer, sang bleu!
Que l'on nous présenta chez le
Prince de Galles {2x}
Oublions l'hôtel mal famé
L'hôtel borgne où l'on s'est aimés
Taisons-le, j'aurais bonne mine
Il me paraît plus transcendant
De situer nos ébats dans
Une chaumine {2x}
Les anges volèrent bien bas
Leurs soupirs ne passèrent pas
L'entresol, le rez-de-chaussée
Forçons la note et rehaussons
Très au-delà du mur du son
Leur odyssée {2x}
Ne laissons pas, quelle pitié!
Notre lune de miel quartier
De la zone
Je préconise
Qu'on l'ait vécue en Italie
Sous le beau ciel de Napoli
Ou de Venise {2x}
Un jour votre cœur se lassa
Et vous partîtes - passons ça
Sous silence - en claquant la porte
Marguerite, soyons décents
Racontons plutôt qu'en toussant
Vous êtes morte {2x}
Deux années après, montre en main
Je me consolais, c'est humain
Avec une de vos semblables
Je joue, ça fait un effet bœuf
Le veuf toujours en deuil, le veuf
Inconsolable {2x}
C'est la revanche du vaincu
C'est la revanche du cocu
D'agir ainsi dès qu'il évoque
Son histoire: autant qu'il le peut
Iltâche de la rendre un peu
Moins équivoque {2x}

Close Enough For Love
Close Enough For Love
Composer(s): Jack Bruce
Performer(s): Jack Bruce
Close enough
Close enough for love
Will the pieces flow together
Close enough
Fitted like a glove
People can be friends and lovers
Spending the time
Feelin' that I'm
Living outside love
Without love
Nothing can grow
Close enough
Close enough for love
Play the changes through together
Feel it love
Growing my heart
Watch the fire start
To burn love
Spending the time
Feelin' that I'm
Living without love
Without love
Nothing tastes right
Without love
Without love
Close enough
Close enough for love
When push comes to shove you find love
Close enough
Close enough for love
People can be friends and lovers

Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists
La distancia entre los dos es cada día más grande
de tu amor y de mi amor no está quedando nada
sin embargo el corazón no quiere resignarse
a escuchar el triste adiós que sea tu retirada
Cuando te hayas ido ya pedazo de mi vida
si aguanté la soledad recuérdame un poquito
porque yo te supe amar derecho y sin mentiras
y te voy a recordar por Dios que muy bonito
Déjame algo de recuerdo
una lágrima y un beso
y un cachito de tu pelo
de mí no te lleves nada
porque ya lo tienes todo
yo soy tuyo solo tuyo
La distancia entre los dos es cada día más grande
de tu amor y de mi amor no está quedando nada
sin embargo el corazón no quiere resignarse
a escuchar el triste adiós que sea tu retirada

The Rock Of Gibraltar
The Rock Of Gibraltar
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
(Gibraltar is standing alone)
That's why they call me the rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my heart is made of stone
So don't you try to lead me to the altar
Because Gibraltar is standing alone
(Gibraltar is standing alone)
I've travelled all over from city light to clover
I'm selling brushes door to door
The ladies know me well they're buying what I sell
But I never let `em ask for any more
And I never put my toes in a door that might be closin'
I try to use my winning ways
But when I know for certain the lady is a-flirtin'
I tell her I'll be back in thirty days
(That's why they call me the rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my heart is made of stone)
So don't you try to lead me to the altar
Because Gibraltar is standing alone
(Yes, Gibraltar is standing alone)
Now when a lady rushes I sell her two more brushes
And then I leaver her at the door
I'm always thinking of the freedom that I love
`Cos I'm a man of freedom to the core
So it's not that I am choosy with Isabel or Susie
I just like to lead a happy life
Give me women, wine and song, then I know I can't go wrong
Until I take a woman for a wife
That's why they call me the rock of Gibraltar
That's why they say my heart is made of stone
So don't you try to lead me to the altar
Because Gibraltar is standing alone
(Yes, Gibraltar is standing alone)
So it happened one morning without any warning
I knew that I had met my doom
She was pretty, she was sweet, she swept me off my feet
She didn't even have to buy a broom
They used to call me the rock of Gibraltar
And now they say my heart is made of clay
But after she had led me to the altar
Then old Gibraltar crumbled away
Old Gibraltar took a tumble that day!
