Cool For Cats
Cool For Cats
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the corporal she is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need
She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep
And he wakes to find the fires dead and arrows in his hat
And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats
The Sweeny's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go
To get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
It's funny how their Missus' always looks the bleeding same
And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads
Who swear like how's your father and they're very cool for cats
They're cool for cats
To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub
I'm seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had
And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
Cool for cats
Shape up at the disco when I think I've got a pull
I ask her lots of questions as she hangs on to the wall
I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone
She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own
I said I'll see you later and I give her some old chat
But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats

Rue Lepic
Dans l’marché qui s’éveill’
Dès le premier soleil
Sur les fruits et les fleurs
Vienn’nt danser les couleurs
Rue Lepic
Voitur’s de quatr’ saisons
Offrent tout à foison
Tomat’s roug’s, raisins verts
Melons d’or z’et prim’vèr’s
Au public
Et les cris des marchands
S’entremêl’nt en un chant
Et le murmur’ des commer’s
Fait comme le bruit d’la mer
Rue Lepic
Et ça grouille et ça vit
Dans cett’ vieill’ rue d’Paris
Rue Lepic
Il y a des cabots
Et des goss’s à Poulbot
Aux frimousses vermeil’s
Qui s’prélassent au soleil
Mais surtout
Il y a un’ bell’ fill’
Aussi bell’ que l’été
Ell’ marche en espadrill’s
Et rit en liberté
Rue Lepic
Et la rue est tout’ fièr’
De son beau regard clair
Et de sa bell’ santé
Et qui l’a enfantée
Et toujours
La fill’ avec amour
À sa rue dit bonjour
Et la rue extasiée
La regarde passer
Et la rue
Monte, monte toujours
Vers Montmarter, là-haut
Vers ses moulins si beaux
Ses moulins tout là-haut

There'll Always Be An England
There'll Always Be An England
Composer(s): Ross Parker - Hughie Charles
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and multiple other artists
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen
May this fair dear land we love so well
In dignity and freedom dwell
Though worlds may change and go awry
While there is still one voice to cry...
There'll always be an England
While there's a country lane
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street
Wherever there's a turning wheel
A million marching feet
Red, white and blue
What does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud, shout it aloud
"Britons, awake!"
The empire too, we can depend on you
Freedom remains
These are the chains
Nothing can break
There'll always be an England
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me

Cool Disposition
Cool Disposition
Composer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson
Performer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson
My baby a kind hearted woman, so lovely and so sweet she's so kind
Yeah, she's a kind hearted woman, so lovely and so sweet she's so kind
She's got such a cool disposition, she just makes me love her all the time
She got me doin' things, people I just can't sleep at night
She got me doin' things, you know boys I just can't sleep at night
I don't eat my breakfast in the mornin', and my teeth and tongue begin to fight
Yes, she's 41 through the shoulders, 29 in the waist
I'll never find another woman, to take my baby's place
She's so lovin', she's so sweet she's so kind
She's got such a cool disposition, makes me love her all the time

Rue De La Soif
Rue De La Soif
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
ell' m'avait dit si tu m'plaques
si tu t'en vas, si tu craques
j'te fous six balles dans la peau
j'te découpe en p'tits morceaux
j'te balance dans le caniveau
ce s'ra ton dernier tango
t'es un raté du mélo
je suis mort d'une rafale
dans le port, je m'étale
je filais à l'anglaise
avec une cancalaise
j'lui ai dit
tu n'vas quand même pas m'flinguer
mais réfléchis
aux années qu'tu vas tirer
rien à branler
t'es qu'une ordure un falot
elle sort son flingue
avec un rire de dingue
me troue la peau
je suis mort, je rigole
sans éfforts, j'suis à l'aise
lézardé plus d'malaises
toutes les nuits
je fonce dans la rue de la soif
j'm'envoie des demis
du champ et des triples scotch
on est tous là
tous les amants de la belle
tous dans les bars
sous des néons bizarres
on se rappelle
elle nous disait si
vous m'plaquez
si vous craquez vous partez
j'vous fous six balles dans la peau
j'vous découpe en p'tits morceaux
j'vous balance dans le caniveau
ce s'ra vot' dernier tango
v's êtes des ratés du mélo
des obsédés du solo
on est mort d'une rafale dans le port
on s'étale on filait à l'anglaise
avec une cancalaise
c'est bizarre c'était la même
celle qui a fourni le pétard
celle qui jurait un grand amour éternel
celle qu'est bilingue
avec un rire de dingue
on s'rappelle

E nel vento farà
udire la sua voce
e se tu l'ascolterai
dalla notte un astro sorgerà... allora

Cool Change
Cool Change
Composer(s): Glenn Shorrock
Performer(s): Little River Band
and multiple other artists
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
Lots of those friendly people
And they're showing me ways to go
And I never want to lose their inspiration
It's time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
Well I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales they are my brothers
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon, like a lover
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
I've never been romantic
And sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air
Let me breathe the air...
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon, like a lover
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now it's time it's time it's time it's time
For a cool change
MMM MMM I know it's time for a cool change
Well, now that my life is so prearranged
I know I know I know I know
That it's time for a cool change
Yes it is, yes it is yes it is
Time for a cool change...

Pas cette chanson
Pas cette chanson
Pas cette chanson
Non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non
Ne joue pas cet air là
Qui me rappelle autrefois
Oublie le s'il le faut
Ne touche pas à ce piano
Oh, non, ne le joue pas
Mon coeur n'y tiendrait pas
De l'entendre, je le sais
Je me souviendrais qu'elle disait
Disait
Toi, que j'aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Toi, que j'aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Toi, que j'aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Tu mens, oui, oui, oui
Et plus d'un violon pleurait
Dans l'ombre où nos coeurs se parlaient
Notre amour était si grand
Que tout le ciel tenait dedans
Et depuis
Si quelqu'un fredonne
Mon coeur s'abandonne
J'entends jouer des violons
J'entends sa chanson et sa voix qui disait
Disait
Toi, que j'aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Toi, que j'aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Toi, que j'aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Tu mens, oui, oui, oui
Pas cette chanson
Arrête, arrête...

Performer(s): Original Prague Syncopated Orch.
and multiple other artists
Where's my sweetie hiding?
Gee, but I'd like to know
Wonder what made her go?
Where has she been hiding?
Though I've looked every place
Not a trace of her face
I think I'll advertize for her in the news
I realize that love's the cure for my blues
Where, where, where's my sweetie hiding?
Wonder if she'll come back to me?

There's A Little Bit Of Everything In Texas
Just look around and you will see
There's A Little Bit Of Everything In Texas

There are forty-seven states around it
And each of them have treasures of their own
And everything they boast of I sure found it
But we’ve got them all right here at home
Now if love ‘O sunny California
Or perhaps the hills of Tennessee
No matter what you love just come to Texas
And I’ll bet my boots you will agree
There's A Little Bit Of Everything In Texas
And really I’m not bragging you see

And a whole lot of Texas in me

No matter what you love just come to Texas
And I’ll bet my boots you’ll agree

Boy, boy, crazy boy
Get cool, boy!
Got a rocket in your pocket
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don't get hot
'Cause, man, you got
Some high times ahead
Take it slow and Daddy-o
You can live it up and die in bed!
Boy, boy, crazy boy
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go, man, go
But not like a yo-yo
Schoolboy
Just play it cool, boy
Real cool!

Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town
Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town
Composer(s): Mel Tillis
Performer(s): Mel Tillis;
and various other artists
You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
It wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company
It's hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now 'cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it
Some 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around

There, I've Said It Again
Composer(s): David Mann - Redd Evans
First release by: Benny Carter & His Orch. - 1941
Covered by multiple other artists
I love you, there's nothing to hide
It's better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There! I've said it again
I've said it, what more can I say
Believe me, there's no other way
I love you, I will to the end
There! I've said it again
I try to drum up
A phrase that will sum up
All that I feel for you
But what good are phrases
The thought that amazes
Is that you love me
And it's heavenly
Forgive me for wanting you so
But one thing I want you to know
I've loved you since heaven knows when
There! I've said it again

Cook's Country
Cook's Country
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who
People are suffering
I'll say it again
People are suffering
I'll say it again
People are suffering
I'll say it again
So remember when you're looking for trouble
That trouble is already busy with weaker men
People are hungry
I'll say it again
People are hungry
I'll say it again
People are hungry
I'll say it again
So don't you abuse that body
It'll snap without assistance my friends
The song goes on
I'll sing again until the music enervates
The song goes on
The sting of pain will dull and finally fade away
The song goes on
Through centuries of history it reverberates
The song goes on
On curving comets track the music makes it way
This song is so long
It ends up where it begins
People are lonely
I'll say it again
People are lonely
I'll say it again
People are lonely
I'll say it again
So don't let them run too far from home
You'll be alone for sure on that you can depend
People are bleeding
I'll say it again
People are bleeding
I'll say it again
People are bleeding
I'll say it again
So put away that switchblade knife
Tighten up the knot that'll help this bloodshed end
The song goes on - the song goes on
This song
Is so long
It ends up where it begins
People are suffering
I'll say it again and again
People are hungry
I'll say it again and again
People are lonely
I'll say it again and again

Ruby Tuesday
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones;
and various other artists
She would never say where she came from
Yesterady don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost, at such a cost
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
"There's no time to lose", I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind?
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

There, I Said It
There, I Said It
Composer(s): Margo Smith
Performer(s): Margo Smith
I love you (I love you), I love you (I love you)
There, I said it
And you know somethin'
It didn't hurt at all
I need you (I need you), gotta have you (gotta have you)
There, I said it
Stay close to me, 'cause without you
I'd surely fall
I've waited so long to say those words
I was about to burst inside
I'm a little bit shy, a little old fashioned
And full of the word called pride
But now that I see, I'm done with regret
I wanna stand and shout, tell the world about it
I'm so happy
I finally had the nerve to say
I love you (I love you), I love you (I love you)
There, I said it
And you know somethin'
It didn't hurt at all
I need you (I need you), I gotta have you (I gotta have you)
There, I said it
Stay close to me, 'cause without you
I'd surely fall
Stay close to me, 'cause without you
I'd surely fall

First release by: Charlie Rich - 1965
Don't wait for the postman
If you're looking for a letter from me
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore
And don't sit by your telephone
If you're waiting for a call from me
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore
Don't think of the love we had
Til you turned bad
And broke my loving heart
And when your heart is breaking
And you need some loving from me
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore
Don't think of the love we had
Til you turned bad
And broke my loving heart
And when your heart is breaking
And you need some loving from me
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore
It won't be like before
There won't be anymore
