Tipperary


Tipperary
Composer(s): Leo Curley - Jas. M. Fulton - J. Fred Helf



I'm in love with a slip of a tip-tip-typical Tipperary miss
She's a regular clip with a rosy lip that you'd dearly love to kiss
From the tip of her toes to the tip top of her nose I love her so
I'd like to just take her and squeeze her
I know that it wouldn't displease her
But she lives in Tipperary many miles away from here
If I could just meet her to see her and greet her
I'm thinkin' I'd eat her the little dear
But she's many miles away from here and so I'll wait I fear
Till I take a notion and sail o'er the ocean to Ireland

Now I'll give ye a tip when I board the ship with me grip to trip away
I'll be there a yell when they ring the bell and I'll shout "hip-hip-hooray"
Then the whistle will toot and away we'll shoot with a toot toot down the bay
I'll wave a bye-bye when we're sailin' from over the top of the railin'
Then a cross the briny ocean to the tiny Em'rald Isle
I'd give me last penny, if I hadn't any, be-gory, or many to see her smile
As she used to when she sat ferninst me down beside the stile
But I was a rover be-dad and came over from Ireland

Faith it's me that's nearly crazy
From me Tipperary daisy
All the day me hearts "undaisy"
Sure the thing I find that's on me mind
Is the darlin' girl I left behind
Far off in dear old Tipperary

I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
Composer(s): Daryl Hall; John Williams Oates; Sara Allen
First release by: Daryl Hall & John Oates - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists



Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line?
You've got the body, now you want my soul
Don't even think about it, say no go

I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything, that you want me too, ooh

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for being twice as nice
I can't go for just repeating the same old lines
Use the body, now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it, now say no go

I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything that you want me to do

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

Oh, I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything that you want me to do

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go, I can't go-- for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no can do
Oh, I can't go for that, yeah (No can do)
No, no, no, no, no, no.....

Je Te Cherche


Je Te Cherche
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; André Georget
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



oui peut-être je suis ivre
peut-être
ça me donne envie de vivre
peut-être
ça me fait déformer tout
peut-être
après tout je m'en fou
ça me fait déformer tout
peut-être
et je te cherche partout
peut-être
dans ces jeux que l'on se joue
peut-être
est-ce toi? est-ce nous?
dans des mots et dans des gestes
je te cherche
je t'aime et je déteste
je te cherche
dans ces jeux où l'on se blesse
je te cherche
toi toujours, toi sans cesse
dans des nuits sans lendemain
je te cherche
je suis mal ou je suis bien
je te cherche
je ne trouve presque rien
je te cherche
toi jamais tu ne viens...

A Mother's Love (Johnnie Ray & Timi Yuro)


A Mother's Love
Composer(s): Cliff Owens
Performer(s): Johnnie Ray & Timi Yuro



Johnnie:
I have seen a rainbow
Circle across the sky

Timi:
I have stood on a mountain
And watched an eagle fly

Johnnie:
I have seen trees in a meadow
Shelter a morning dove

Timi:
But I haven't seen anything
To match the wonder of a mother's love

Johnnie:
I have seen a sunset
More beautiful than gold

Timi:
I have stood by a rosebed
And watched the leaves unfold

Johnnie:
I have seen so many wonders
And blessings from above

Both
But I haven't seen anything
To match the wonder of a mother's love
No I haven't seen anything
To match the wonder of a mother's love

Je T'Attends (Johnny Hallyday)


Je T'Attends
Composer(s): Jean-Jacques Goldman
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



À force d'impasses et de fausses routes
À force de s'habituer au pire
À force des mots sans qu'on les écoute
Jusqu'à ne plus même oser les dire

À force de rêver à des sirènes
Et ne pêcher que des pauvres leurres
À force de ne parler qu'aux poubelles
Au petit matin, cassé et tout seul

Je ne sais pas où les anges arrivent
Je me doute que tu n'en es plus un

Je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends
Je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends
Tout le temps, tout le temps
Tout le temps, chaque instant
Je t'attends, je t'attends, je t'attends
Depuis si longtemps

Je ne sais pas ton âge et ton visage
Brune du nord ou blonde andalouse
Je ne te veux ni futile ni sage
Née pour avancer ou born to lose

Qu'importe si c'est avril ou décembre
Je me fous bien du jour et du mois
Mais je serai prêt, je saurai te prendre
Comme une chance qu'on ne manque pas
Mais si tu savais briser ma dérive
Rendez-vous un de ces quatre matins

Tippecanoe And Tyler Too
(Traditional)
Performer(s): They Might Be Giants



Oh who has heard the great commotion, motion motion
all the country through?
It is the ball a-rolling on
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

Sure, let 'em talk about hard cider (cider cider)
and log cabins too
't'will only help to speed the ball
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

Like the rush of mighty waters (waters waters)
onward it will go
And of course we'll bring you through
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

I Can't Get Started


I Can't Get Started
Composer(s): Vernon Duke; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Red McKenzie and His Rhythm Kings - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists



I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
And the North Pole I have charted
Still I can't get started with you

On the golf course, I'm under par
Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star
I've got a house, a showplace
Still I can't get no place with you

'Cause you're so supreme
Lyrics I write of you, I dream
Dream day and night of you
And I scheme just for the sight of you
Baby, what good does it do?

I've been consulted by Franklin D
Greta Garbo has had me to tea
Still I'm broken-hearted

'Cause I can't get started with you

Mes jours passent, mes nuits pleurent
Et pleure le temps
Ma raison sombre et se meurt
Quand meurt le temps
Ce temps mort que je regrette
Tant et tant
Car sans joie ma vie s'arrête
Et je t'attends

J'attends l'air que je respire
Et le printemps
J'attends mes éclats de rire
Et mes vingt ans
Mes mers calmes et mes tempêtes
En même temps
Car sans joie ma vie s'arrête
Et je t'attends

Je t'attends
Viens ne tarde pas
D'où que tu viennes, qui que tu sois
Viens le temps est court
Je t'attends
Mon rêve inconnu
Quel est ton nom, quel est ton but
Le mien c'est l'amour

Pour que mes jours se transforment
Et que vraiment
Ma vie par toi prenne forme
A chaque instant
Parce que le vide me hante
Avec mon sang
Comme un peintre je t'invente
Et je t'attends

Mes doigts par petites touches
Font tes dents
Avant de croquer ta bouche
Eperdument
Mais ces rêves ne me laissent
Que tourments
Car je traîne ma détresse
Et je t'attends

A Moment Ago

Performer(s): The Angels



(Aaaaaahhhhhh-aaaahhhhh, aaaaaahhhhhh-aaaghhhh)

A moment ago I held you close to me
A moment ago you whispered tenderly
That you'd be my love through all eternity
A moment ago I fell in love

Oh, my baby, baby, hold me tight
Never let me go (never let me go)
And if I'm right we'll share
Heaven, I know (heaven, I know)

Through tears of joy
I thanked the Lord up above
A moment ago He sent me a love
Aaaaaahhhhhh-aaaahhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh-aaaghhhh
Aaaaaahhhhhh-aaaahhhhh...

I Can't Get Offa My Horse


I Can't Get Offa My Horse
Performer(s): The Korn Kobblers



I always thought that I would be a cowboy
A-ridin' and a-ropin' where the winds are free
But now I wish that I was not a cowboy
'Cause look what's gone and happened to me

Oh, I can't get offa my horse
All day and night I ride among the cattle
I can't get offa my horse
'Cause some dirty dog put glue on the saddle

On the saddle! On the saddle!
Some no good ornery, low down, sneakin', thievin'
Cussin', cattle rustlin', dirty dog
Put glue on the saddle

Some day they'll bury me out on the prairie
Out there among the sage brush where the skies are blue
But when they dig a hole for me to rest in
They better dig it big enough for two

Oh, I can't get offa my horse
All day and night I ride among the cattle
I can't get offa my horse
'Cause some dirty dog put glue on the saddle

On the saddle! On the saddle!
Some no good, ornery, low down, sneakin', thievin'
Cussin', cattle rustlin', dirty dog
Put glue on the saddle

I Can't Get Next To You


I Can't Get Next To You
Composer(s): Norman Whitfield; Barrett Strong
First release by: The Temptations - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



I can turn your gray sky blue
I could make it rain whenever I wanted to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail on dry land
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you
(I can't get next to you)
Next to you, I just can't get next to you)
(I can't get next to you)

I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a ragin' fire
I could live forever if I so desired
Unimportant are all these things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you
No matter what I do

I can turn back the hands of time
You'd better believe I can
I can make the seasons change
Just by a wave of my hand
I can change anything from old to new
The thing I want to do the most, I'm unable to do
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl, you're the key to my happiness
And I, wo I...can't get next to you

Girl, you're blowin' my mind 'cause I can't get (next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'? I can't get (next to you)
Girl, it's you that I need; I gotta get (next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'?...

Comme l'argile
L'insecte fragile
L'esclave docile
Je t'appartiens

De tout mon être
Tu es le seul maître
Je dois me soumettre
Je t'appartiens

Si tu condamnes
Jetant mon âme
Au creux des flammes
Je n'y peux rien

Si tu condamnes
Si tu me damnes
Voici mon âme
Voici mes mains

Avec les peines
L'amour et la haine
Coulant dans mes veines
Je t'appartiens

Que puis-je faire
Pour te satisfaire
Patron de la terre
Sur mon chemin

Comme les anges
Chanter tes louanges
Mais je ne suis pas un ange
Tu le sais bien

Je ne suis qu'un homme
Rien qu'un pauvre homme
Je t'aime bien
Comme un copain

Souvent je pense
Que dans ton immense
Palais de silence
Tu dois être bien

Parfois je pense
Que dans ton immense
Palais de silence
On doit être bien

Well my doctor told me beware

Je T'Aimerai Toujours


Je T'Aimerai Toujours
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Tu m'envoûtes
Et je le redoute
Je t'aimerai toujours
C'est très grave
Je suis ton esclave
Je t'aimerai toujours
Je n'y peux rien, pourquoi le cacher
Prés de toi, je perds toute dignité
Car tu peux dire
On faire le pire
Je t'aimerai toujours

Tu peux prendre
Mes biens et les vendre
Je t'aimerai toujours
Chasser même
Tous les gens que j'aime
Je t'aimerai toujours
Être avec moi, perfide et cruelle
Je resterai là comme un chien fidèle
Et dans ma tête
Ces mots se répètent
"Je t'aimerai toujours"

T'aimer c'est ma raison de vivre
La force où je puise mes joies
T'aimer c'est la foi qui m'enivre
La seule à laquelle je crois
C'est la voix qui dicte à ma pensée
Qui dirige mes cris et mes pleurs
C'est le gouffre où se trouve entraîné
Mon coeur

Sois volage
Même si j'enrage
Je t'aimerai toujours
En silence
Malgré ma souffrance
Je t'aimerai toujours
Tu es le sang qui bat dans mon coeur
Avec tant de force et tant de vigueur
Que ça m'obsède
Mais c'est sans remède
Je t'aimerai toujours

Lancinante
Cette idée me hante
Je t'aimerai toujours
Mon coeur gronde
Plus que tout au monde
Je t'aimerai toujours
Tu es mon ciel et mon idéal
Loin de toi le reste m'est égal
Et ma hantise
Est que tu dises un jour à ton tour
Je t'aimerai toujours

One night the moon was so mellow
Rosita met young Manuelo
He held her like this, this lovely miss
Then stole a kiss, this fellow

He said he was glad that he met her
And soon he would come and get her
But she said "No, no, I cannot go
Until I know you better"

Ti-pi-ti-pi-tin ti-pi-tin
Ti-pi-ti-pi-ton ti-pi-ton
He kept on a-stealing and he had a feeling she was satisfied
Ti-pi-ti-pi-tin ti-pi-tin
Ti-pi-ti-pi-ton ti-pi-ton
She was saying "Go sir" so he held her closer, that's how he complied

Ti-pi-ti-pi-tin ti-pi-tin
Ti-pi-ti-pi-ton ti-pi-ton
He kept on a-stealing and he had a feeling she was satisfied
Ti-pi-ti-pi-tin ti-pi-tin

He will always do so, for she has a trousseau and he has a bride

I Can't Find It


I Can't Find It
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



Where do I belong?
I can't find it
Where do I belong?
I can't find it
I can't find it
I just can't find

Keep looking up at their windows
There's light inside
They share the wine
Why can't I be by the fire?
Why am I out in the dark?

Where do I belong?
I can't find it
Where do I belong?
I can't find it
I can't find it
I just can't find

Walk by the church
They're getting married
It's me in stark black
It's me in pure white
It's me small and fragile
in her secure arms

Where do I belong?
I can't find it
I just can't find

Love is a trick,
a trick of nature
to force us out of our shells
Break it!
Break it!
Drop your shield!
Out of ourselves
Ex-stasis

Where do I belong?
I can't find it
I just can't find
