There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and I'm feeling good just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

Coquetier Bleu


Coquetier Bleu
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Elle était bonne
Pour quarante
Quarante dollars
Ou quarante hommes
Pour quarante
Elle était bonne...
C'était elle
Qu'un dieu souriant
Avait prévue
Pour faire de la terre
Un grand ciel entrevu...
Un œuf et une poule
Un grand coquetier bleu
De loin, c'est une boule
De près, un chemin creux...
Et j'en étais très exactement amoureux
Comme dans un salon de coiffure de banlieue
Un extincteur rêve de feu
Près d'une plante exotique qui rêve d'Afrique...
Il faut oser
Tresser l'osier
Pour laisser au moins un panier
À l'éternité...
Morales, conscience
Et habitudes
Habitent toujours la même rue
Il faudrait oser déménager...
Un œuf et une poule
Un grand coquetier bleu
Elle bonne pour quarante
Et moi amoureux
Et j'en étais très exactement amoureux
Comme, dans un salon de coiffure de banlieue
Un extincteur rêve de feu
Près d'une plante exotique qui rêve d'Afrique ...

Run For Home


Run For Home
Composer(s): Alan Hull
Performer(s): Lindisfarne; Alan Hull



I’ve travelled the land
With a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I’ve made some mistakes
Had my share of the breaks
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum

Chorus:
Run for home run as fast as I can
Oh-oh running man running for home
Run for home run as fast as I can
Oh-oh running man running for home

I’ve seen all the frowns
On the faces of the clowns
And the downs that they take just to be free
And I’ve seen all the girls
In their pretty frocks and curls
But it don’t mean a lot to me
Chorus

And I’ve been to the places in town
Where the faces hang round
Just to stare at each other
I’ve looned with them screamed at the moon
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered
Chorus

Copperhead Road


Copperhead Road
Composer(s): Steve Earle
First release by: Steve Earle - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists



Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road
Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first, 'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

1995 - 'K Voel Me Goed Vandaag (Dana Winner)



Qu'est-ce que tu deviens, depuis tout ce temps?
Dis-moi, mon Dieu comme c'est drôle
De se rencontrer comme ça aujourd'hui
Ça fait si longtemps
Qu'est-ce que tu deviens, depuis tout ce temps?
Tu sais, tu n'as pas changé, tu es toujours aussi jolie

Oui mais peut-être je t'ennuie
Tu as peut-être mieux à faire aujourd'hui
Que de m'écouter
Mais raconte-moi, et ta famille?
Oh, c'est si merveilleux de te retrouver
Après tant d'années

Qu'est-ce que tu deviens, depuis tout ce temps?
Dis-moi et notre romance
Au fond comment a-t-elle fini?
La la la la la la la la la la la...

Oui mais peut-être je t'ennuie
Tu as peut-être tout oublié depuis
Tout ça est si vieux
Mais moi j'y pense encore souvent
Mais moi tu sais, je n'ai jamais oublié
Tu n'peux pas comprendre

Toi évidemment, tu ne pouvais pas
Savoir, je n'ai pas changé
Et moi je t'aime toujours autant
Toujours autant... oui toujours autant

Barry Manilow; Bruce Sussman; Jack Feldman
First release by: Barry Manilow - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages
1979 - Istedgade
2002 - Madame Pipieke



Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love

(Copa Copacabana)

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love

(Copa Copacabana)
(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)
(Talking Havana have a banana)
(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love

(Copa) don't fall in love
Copacabana

Run Around Babe


Run Around Babe
Performer(s): Neil Young



Run around babe
I'm only losing my mind
Run around babe
Don't try to be
Something you weren't meant to be
If you are not loving me
I'll know it's because
You want to be free
Oh, oh, run around babe
Oh, oh, run around babe

When we were young
We left our worries behind
When we were young
Left not to be
The worry is back on me
And it's not hard to see
That that's the way it has to be
Oh, oh, run around babe
Oh, oh, run around babe

Run around babe
I'm only losing my mind
Run around babe
Don't try to be
Something you weren't meant to be
If you are not loving me
I'll know it's because
You want to be free
Oh, oh, run around babe
Oh, oh, run around babe

`k voel me goed vandaag
en alles valt mee, vandaag
de zon en de zee
alles lui en traag
ik ga maar te voet, misschien ga je mee?

Niks dat moet vandaag
Alleen of met twee, vandaag
dat is ook ok
wil je niet zo graag
je ziet wat je doet

Ik heb vandaag geen ander doel
Dan te voelen wat ik voel, binnenin
En ik doe mijn zin
Ik voel me goed als jij eens wist
Als jij kon weten wat het is, dat je mist
dan kwam je gelopen

`k voel me goed vandaag
en alles valt mee, vandaag
als jet het heel mooi vraagt
dan mag je nog mee

Ik heb vandaag geen ander doel
Dan te voelen wat ik voel, binnenin
En ik doe mijn zin
Ik voel me goed als jij eens wist

Dan kwam je gelopen

Als je `t heel mooi vraagt

Pela luz que ilumina
O traçado e a triz
Não importa que seja de giz
Ela é como sempre eu quis
Rua aberta a caminho do mar
Meu amor você vai me encontrar
Numa rua qualquer por aí
Riso largo de tanto sorrir
Peito aberto de tanto de amar

Eu moro em Copacabana

Run


Run
Performer(s): Sandy Shaw



As the wind blows through the trees
It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me
Then when the rain falls upon the ground
I often think that it’s him following me
I don’t stop to see if he’s behind me
I just keep on going, he must never find me
He thinks I still belong to him
Someone must run, I said someone must run

The sun is sinking from the sky
I see a shadow and I think it must be him
Sometimes I see someone with their back towards me
I think it could just be him
If the telephone rings, I don’t pick it up
If someone knocks at the door, it remains shut
What would he do if he found me?
Someone must run, I said someone must run

As the wind blows through the trees
It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me
Then when the rain falls upon the ground
I often think that it’s him following me
I don’t stop to see if he’s behind me
I just keep on going, he must never find me
He thinks I still belong to him
Someone must run, I said someone must run

There's A Honky-Tonk Angel (Who'll Take Me Back In)
Composer(s): Troy Seals - Denny Rice
Performer(s): Conway Twitty
and multiple other artists



When was the last time you kissed me
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
And even longer since I felt like your man

So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in

You never look at me and say "I love you"
How much more do you think I can stand
Oh, there's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord, she's happy just holding my hand

So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
Yes, there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in

Copa De Vino


Copa De Vino
Composer(s): Luis Demetrio
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte
porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte
Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu ausencia
para pedirle a mi sino no volver a verte
más por mi camino

Contigo sólo el sufrimiento conocí
y felicidad nunca compartí
Y, sin embargo, yo de ti me enamoré
pues llegué a creer en la mentira de tu amor

Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte
porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte

Contigo sólo el sufrimiento conocí
y felicidad nunca compartí
Y, sin embargo, yo de ti me enamoré
pues llegué a creer en la mentira de tu amor

Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte
porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte

You come over prim and pert
Acting like an introvert
You treat me like a jerk
You made me do all the work
You're just a bog flirt

Questionable morality
You think you married royalty
You've got no grip on reality
You think it's your destiny
Empresses new clothes
No ribbons no bows
You shouldn't have done what you did to me so
Come on Come on

You think happily ever after
You think you've been really clever
Your just a bad loser
We did all this together
You're just a crap weaver
Can't spin gold can't spin silver
You'd have been stuck in there forever

You think it's a little game
Come on come on guess my name
You think it's a bad dream
You don't want to cause a scene
You're just a cheapskate
You made a bad mistake
You know exactly what you owe me so
Come on Come on

There's A Home In Wyoming


There's A Home In Wyoming
Composer(s): Billy Hill - Peter De Rose
Performer(s): Mary Small
and multiple other artists



Pale moon, carry me away
To the rolling plains tonight
Pale moon, please don't let me stray
Show me the wrong from the right

I'm so lonely when the sun goes down
Lonely for my little prairie town
West wind, take my little song
To the one I love the best

West wind, say I won't be long
Soon I'll be out in the West
When the purple turns to gold back home
Then I'll settle down, no more to roam

There's a home in Wyomin'
Far across the Great Divide
Skies are brighter, hearts are lighter
And the door is open wide

There's a girl in Wyomin'
'Neath the prairie stars that shine
Let me wander `way out yonder
To that old sweetheart of mine

Through the purple sage once more
We'll ride, ride, ride
Down the sunset trail together
Side by side

All alone in the gloamin'
We will plan a nest for two
Just a home in old Wyomin'
In the land where dreams come true

Cootamundra Wattle


Cootamundra Wattle
Composer(s): John Williamson
Performer(s): John Williamson



Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box woman
You know those old things only make you cry
When you dream upon that little bunny rug
It makes you think that life has passed you by
There are days when you wish the world would stop woman
But then you know some wounds would never heal
But when I browse the early pages of the children
It's then I know exactly how you feel

Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend
For all at once my childhood never left me
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again

It's Sunday and you should stop the worry woman
Come out here and sit down in the sun
Can't you hear the magpies in the distance?
Don't you feel the new day has begun?
Can't you hear the bees making honey woman
In the spotted gums where the bellbirds ring?
You might grow old and bitter 'cause you missed it
You know some people never hear such things

Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend
For all at once my childhood never left me
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again

Don't buy the daily papers any more woman
Read all about what's going on in hell
They don't care to tell the world of kindness
Good news never made a paper sell
There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden woman
And symphonies of music in the sky
Heaven's all around us if you're looking
But how can you see it if you cry

Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend
For all at once my childhood never left me
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again

Rumors Are Flying


Rumors Are Flying
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George David Weiss
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters;
and various other artists



Rumors are flying
That you've got me sighing
That I'm in a crazy kind of a daze
A lazy sort of a haze
When I go walking
I hear people talking
They say our affair is not just a passing phase

And they whisper 'bout the flowers
You keep sending me by the dozen
And they wonder 'bout the hours
That you spend with me, it keeps them buzzin'

Rumors are flying
And I'm not denying
That people are sure I'm falling in love with you
'Cause for a change, darling
All the rumors are true

And they whisper all about the flowers
The many little flowers you keep sending me by the dozen
And they wonder all about the hours
That you spend with your baby, what do you do-do-do
That keeps 'em buzzin' all the time, all the time

Rumors are flying
And I'm not denying
That people are sure I'm falling in love with you
'Cause for a change, darling
All the rumors are true

There's A Girl In Havana


There's A Girl In Havana
Composer(s): Irving Berlin - E. Ray Goetz - A. Baldwin Sloan



I'm in love with you, but I'll admit, I've told the same tale o'er
To a lot of girls, but I'll admit, 'twas never meant before
Like every boy, I've loved a few, 'tis true
But never with a love I feel for you
So I think for future happiness
My past I should confess

If a fellow says he loves you, and he's never said the same
To another girl, if you believe him, you're the one to blame
When love is true each thought you would confide
When love is true there's naught that you could hide
So to prove my love is not a-miss
Is why I tell you this

There's a girl in Havana
There's a girl in Savannah
I've wooed a few sweet girlies who I promised to be true to
But then I never knew, dear
That I'd ever meet you, dear
So let's forget the girls I met
Before I met you

Cooper's Lament


Cooper's Lament
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



Hey brothers, hear me call
It ain't that I had to fall
Wasn't no one's fault last night
When I looked up and felt the light

Here's hoping you'll understand
I want to fell like a natural man
Get up early in the morning to do what I can
You can't help no one with money
If you can't with your hands

And you got to be there brothers, yes you do
If the world is turning under you
Ain't no good to sit around
And bring it up or down
You got to be there brothers, yes you do

Hey brothers, now and then
There's something that oughta move you
More than a pen
You don't need no school or knowledge
You've got something else to lend
And all the people in the world
Can make it better again

And it ain't easy, yes I know
It's a hard and rugged road
Don't be swindled, don't be fooled
Just be honest and stay cool

'Cause you got to be there brothers, yes you do
If the world is turning under you
Ain't no good to sit around
And bring it up or down
You got to be there brothers, yes you do

Do dooby dooby
Sha la la la...

Everyone in town
Just wants to put me down
With their rumors (rumors)

They've been telling you
That your baby's been untrue
But it's rumors (rumors)

Let them have their say

We'll make out okay

Darling, this you must believe

Ever leave you

People jealous of a boy and
Girl in love started rumors (rumors)
Dont believe a word of
Those silly things you heard
Theyre just rumors (rumors)

Aw, let the rumors fly
You'll find by and by
Deep within my heart

You're the only one that I adore
So don't believe the rumors anymore

Aw, let the rumors fly

Deep within my heart

So don't believe the rumors anymore
