Tourbillonnaire


Tourbillonnaire
Performer(s): Guy Béart



Voilà une chanson qui tourne en rond
sur les 30 ou 40 années de tourbillon
que nous allons vivre ensemble
ou bien mourir ailleurs

Tourbillonnaire, deux pas en avant et quatre pas en arrière
Tourbillonnaire, deux pas en avant et quatre pas en arrière

Si tu veux reculer, tu avanceras
si tu veux avancer, tu reculeras
Celui qui s'enfuit est déjà dans la boîte
qui va plus à gauche se retrouve à droite
Si tu ne veux pas te faire de la bile
et si tu choisis de rester immobile
tu t'enfonceras et c'est là le danger
Même sans raison il te faudra bouger
Ça tourne, ça tourne, ça tourne, ça tourne, en rond

Tourbillonaire, tourbillonnaire
deux pas en avant et quatre pas en arrière
Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
tu devras grouiller, grouiller dans la fourmilière
Il te faudra danser avec les danseurs
ou sinon ils t'écraseront en douceur
Il faudra te remuer dans tous les sens
et tournoyer jusqu'à perdre connaissance
Si tu fais le bien, ça peut donner le mal
si tu fais le fou, tu paraîtras normal
Tu as beau changer, tout revient comme avant
tu es dans les sables, les sables mouvants
Ça tourne, ça tourne, ça tourne, ça tourne, en rond

Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
deux pas en avant et quatre pas en arrière
Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
tu es d'accord, alors tu diras le contraire
Tu as changé 40 fois d'opinion
et moi, je dois t'éplucher comme un oignon
pour dénicher ce que tu as dans le cœur
Je l'ai trouvé, alors me voici en pleurs
Nous avons bougé à en devenir fous
Quand je t'aimais, tu ne m'aimais pas du tout
J'ai fait la navette pour ne pas souffrir
J'ai toujours très mal, mais ça me fait plaisir
Ça tourne, ça tourne, ça tourne, ça tourne, en rond

Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
deux pas en avant et quatre pas en arrière
Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
tu dois changer amour, d'ami, de partenaire
Depuis, j'ai vécu dans le chambardement
j'ai changé de peau, changé de logement
j'ai changé d'emploi, de bureau, de travail
A part de tourner il n'y a rien qui m'aille
Ma vie, elle s'est passée en dents de scie
et j'ai fini même par l'aimer ainsi
Si je trouve un jour le nid pour m'abriter
peut-être bien que je le ferai sauter
Ça tourne, ça tourne, ça tourne, ça tourne, en rond

Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
deux pas en avant et quatre pas en arrière
Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
un coup pour rire, un coup pour se mettre en colère

Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
entre le vrai et le faux y a plus de frontière
Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
ton ami d'aujourd'hui sera ton adversaire
Tourbillonnaire, tourbillonnaire
nous allons danser, danser sur la poudrière

Candle light I love the scene
'Cause baby if you know just what I mean
I love being here with you

Just A Little Bit Better
Composer(s): Kenny Young
Performer(s): Herman's Hermits; The Stool Pigeons



He may send you flowers baby every single day
Buy you fancy clothes from Paris
And have sweet things to say
But I can give you love, sweet sweet love
Now ain't that just a little bit better
Uh-ho-ho, uh-ho-ho, uh-ho-ho

He'll take you to nightclubs in a shiny limousine
Buy you furs and diamond bracelets
Make you look just like a queen
But I can give you love, sweet sweet love
Now ain't that just a little bit better
Uh-ho-ho, uh-ho-ho, uh-ho-ho

Love, love, love is what I could give ya
True, true love as long as I may live

But I can give you love, sweet sweet love
Now ain't that just a little bit better
Uh-ho-ho, uh-ho-ho, uh-ho-ho

Love, love, love is what I could give ya
True, true love as long as I may live

Well, he may want to buy a fancy mansion on a hill
Will you live with him forever
Baby that ain't such a thrill
'cause I can give you love, sweet sweet love
Now ain't that just a little bit better
Uh-ho-ho, uh-ho-ho, uh-ho-ho

I Love A Rainy Night


I Love A Rainy Night
Composer(s): Malloy; Eddie Rabbitt; Stevens
Performer(s): Eddie Rabbitt



Well I love a rainy night
Well I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good

Well I love a rainy night
It's such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain
On my face
To taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadow

Showers wash
All my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day
'Cause I love a rainy night
Yes I love a rainy night
Well I love a rainy night
Well I love a rainy night

Well I love a rainy night
Well I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good

Puts a song
In this heart of mine
Puts a smile on my face every time
'Cause I love a rainy night
Yes I love a rainy night
Ooh I love a rainy night
Yeah I love a rainy night

Showers wash
All my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day
'Cause I love a rainy night
Yes I love a rainy night
Well I love a rainy night
Well I love a rainy night

Just A Little


Just A Little Composer(s): Ron Elliot; Robert Durand First release by: The Beau Brummels - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



Ah ah ah ah

I can't stay, yes I know
You know I hate to go
But goodbye, love was sweet
Our worlds can never meet

So I'll cry just a little 'cause I love you so
And I'll die just a little 'cause I have to go
Away

Can't you see how I feel
When I say love's unreal
But goodbye, it's been sweet
Even though incomplete

So I'll cry just a little 'cause I love you so
And I'll die just a little 'cause I have to go
Away

Every night I still hear
All your sighs very clear
Now love's gone, gone away
As I once heard you say

Now I've cried just a little 'cause I loved you so
And I've died just a little 'cause I had to go
Away

Toujours La Même G...


Toujours La Même G...
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



J'rêvais d'un vélo
Et j'ai trois bagnoles
Télé et frigo
Ça irait tout seul
Mais y'a un' p'tite chose qui m'ennuie
C'est d'me voir le jour et la nuit
Toujours la même gueule
Toujours la même gueule
J'pourrais m'faire refaire bien sûr
Le nez au milieu d'la figure
Mais c'que j'ai derrière la façade
J'ai bien peur qu'ça reste en rade

J'rêvais d'une Margot
J'accueille des beautés
Toujours stéréo
Stéréotypées
Et je retrouve le jour la nuit
Au cinéma ou dans mon lit
Les mêmes petites gueules
Les mêmes petites gueules
J'pourrais leur faire refaire bien sûr
Le nez à côté d'la figure
Mais c'qu'elles ont derrière la façade
J'ai bien peur qu'ça m'rende malade

J'rêvais d'un ami
M'en voilà deux cents
Qui s'esclaffent et rient
Quand j'desserre les dents
Mais y'a une p'tite chose qui m'ennuie
C'est qu'ils s'regardent quand j'suis parti
Avec une sale gueule
Avec une sale gueule
J'peux pas leur faire refaire bien sûr
Le nez d'l'autre côté d'la figure
Mais c'qu'ils ont derrière la façade
Ça vaut pas qu'j'me rende malade

Quand j'aurai cessé
D'être un sous-produit
Manufacturé
J'm'en irai d'ici
Mais ça n'chang'ra rien à l'affaire
Même les vaches me verront faire
Toujours la même gueule
Toujours la même gueule

I Love A Piano


I Love A Piano
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and multiple other artists



As a child I went wild when a band played
How I ran to the man when his hand swayed
Clarinets were my pets, and a slide trombone I thought was simply
Divine
But today when they play I could hiss them
Ev'ry bar is a jar to my system
But there's one musical instrument that I call mine

I love a piano, I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
Upon a piano, a grand piano
It simply carries me away

I know a fine way to treat a steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories

And with the pedal I love to meddle
When padarewski comes this way
I'm so delighted if I'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play

So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh
I love to stop right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand

When a green tetrazine starts to warble
I grow cold as an old piece of marble
I allude to the crude little party singer who don't know when to pause
At her best I detest the soprano
But I run to the one at the piano
I always love the accomp'niment and that's because

Toujours Aimer


Toujours Aimer
Composer(s): Charles Dumont - Michel Rivgauche
Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Lua Hadar



On n'a pas dans le cœur de quoi toujours aimer
Et l'on verse des pleurs en voulant trop aimer
On croit être sincère, on croit avoir trouvé
Le seul être sur terr' qu'on ne peut remplacer
On n'a pas dans le cœur de quoi toujours aimer
Et l'on verses des pleurs en voulant trop aimer
Un jour on se réveill', ce n'est plus tout à fait
Le rayon de soleil qui nous embellissait

On regrette le temps où l'on pouvait s'aimer
On regrette le temps où le cœur s'emballait
Il ne nous reste plus que quelques souvenirs
De pauvres souvenirs qu'on cherche à retenir

Mais moi, j'ai dans le cœur de quoi toujours aimer
J'aurai toujours assez de larmes pour pleurer
J'aurai toujours assez de rir's pour effacer
Les tristes souvenirs accrochés au passé
Mais moi, j'ai dans le cœur de quoi toujours aimer
J'aurai toujours assez de larmes pour pleurer
Je veux toujours aimer, je veux toujours souffrir

Si je n'dois plus aimer, mois je préfè' mourir
Mais, moi, j'ai dans le cœurs de quoi toujours aimer
Aimer... Aimer...

I Love


I Love
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1973



I love little rubber ducks
Old pick-up trucks
Slow-moving trains
And rain

I love, little country streams
Sleep without dreams
Sunday school in May
And hay

And I love you too

I love, leaves in the wind
Pictures of my friends
Birds of the world
And squirrels

I love coffee in a cup
Little fuzzy pups
Bourbon in a glass
And grass

And I love you too

I love honest open smiles
Kisses from a child
Tomatoes on a vine
And onions

I love winners when they cry
Losers when they cry
Music when it's good
And life

And I love you too

Just A Game


Just A Game
Composer(s): Micky Dolenz
Performer(s): The Monkees



There's a way
There's a way for you and I
If you'll just stay
If you'll just stay to keep me hidden from the day
And all its light
That's covered up by night when you're away
When you're away the image of your face is clear
It is clear across the room and I am here
Against the wall, afraid that it is all
Just a game
Just a game that's played in fun
But not too real
Not too real to take a chance on finding out
You've really lost
I can't see you clearly while I'm here
While I'm here and you are in my state of mind
My state of mind is changing places all the time
And I am lost
Trying to get across another time
When you're away the image of your face is clear
It is clear across the room and I am here
Against the wall, afraid that it is all
Just a game
Just a game
Just a game

Toujour Gai


Toujour Gai
Composer(s): Joe Darion - George Kleinsinger
Performer(s): Eartha Kitt



My youth I shall never forget
But there's nothing I really regret
The years I have poured down the drain
Have sparkled like gold in champagne

It's cheerio my dearrio
Prance and pirouette
It's cheerio my dearrio
There's a life in me yet

Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
I sing all my troubles away

I don't care to cry with a king
But with any old beggar I'll sing
I'll dance in the sun or the shade
To any old tune that is played

I'll sing 'neath a bleary-eyed moon
A rowdy and rollicking tune
But no time for sleeping have I
I'll sleep long enough when I die

It's cheerio my dearrio
Prance and pirouette
It's cheerio my dearrio
There's a life in me yet

Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai

I'll sing away my troubles
They'll vanish like bubbles
I'll sing all my troubles away
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
(Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai)

June Comes Around Every Year

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



June comes around every year
June comes around every spring time
Just when your poor old heart can’t go on it seems
June brings a basket full of dreams
And before you know it you see the moon wink his eye
Two hearts are waltzing in swing time
So wear a great big smile
‘Cos after all she’ll never fall for last years’ style
And June comes around every year

And before you know it you see the moon wink his eye
Two hearts are waltzing in swing time
So wear a great big smile
‘Cos after all she’ll never fall for last years’ style

Taaier Dan De Rest
((Adapted from: Tougher Than The Rest (Bruce Springsteen) - 1987))
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen - Kris De Bruyne
Performer(s): Kris De Bruyne - 1989



Wel, het is zaterdagnacht
'k zag je meteen in die jurk
ik hield je stiekem in het oog
want in elke man schuilt er een schurk

zo, jij liet iemand in de steek
hebt iemands hart grondig verpest
wel, als je liefde wil
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest

meisjes willen de ware Jacob
of soms 'n doodbrave juul in hun armen
en sommigen willen
alleen maar het krapuul

maar, hier leer je al gauw (schat)
te pakken wat je pakken kan
dus als j'er taai genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest

de weg is lang
voor wie weet waarover 't gaat
en ik wil dat je weet dat ik
voor jou iedereen achterlaat

als al je vorige vrijers
waren geflest in de test
en j'er klaar en taai genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest

wel, het is hier geen geheim
ik heb hier elk meisje gehad
wel, ik weet niet schat
hoeveel kerels er jou hebben gehad

geef jezelf een kans
al wat ik wil horen is een ja
als je taaie liefde wil
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest
als j'er taai en klaar genoeg voor bent
schat, ik ben taaier dan de rest

ik ben taaier dan de rest
ik ben taaier dan de rest

I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City


I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City
Composer(s): Leon René; Johnny Lange
Performer(s): Johnny Mercer
and multiple other artists



I lost my sugar in Salt Lake City
Oh, why did I go there?
I should have stayed down in New Orleans
And never gone nowhere

A man which we talked from kansas city
His words were sweet like wine
He gave us diamonds & limousines
And stole that gal of mine

When night comes creeping
For me there ain't no sleeping
What she sold, she'll be reaping
For she done me wrong
I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With the Salt Lake City blues

Salt Lake City is renowned for it's beauty
The snowcap sasquatch mountains are nearby
In 1929 the factory output was 43 million dollars
Wholesale trade amounted to
71 million five hundred & ten thousand five hundred & seventy three dollars
Retail trade ninety two million
There's salt beds & farm lands producing
alfalfa, green, sugar beats & vegetables in the vicinity
But as far as I'm concerned
I don't care if I ever set foot there again in Salt Lake City
That town is a nemesis to me

Man I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With those blues
Salt lake City blues

Just A Dream Ago


Just A Dream Ago
Performer(s): Rita Moss



Just a dream ago
You were in my arms and loved me so
Ev'ry hour was a paradise
You were mine just a dream ago

Just a kiss ago
We were in love all aglow
Making vows that we'd always be
Side by side through eternity

Now you're gone
And my heart cries for you
Darling, why must our plans
All fall through

Oh-oh-oh, please come back again
And ignite the flame that used to glow
Save the spell of a magic dream
That we lived just a dream ago

Oh-oh-oh-oh, please come back again
And ignite the flame that used to glow
Save the spell of a magic dream
That we lived just a dream ago

Tougher Than The Rest
((Dutch Version: Taaier Dan De Rest (Kris De Bruyne) - 1989))
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release: Bruce Springsteen - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists



Well It's Saturday night you're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love honey I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a handsome Dan or some good-lookin' Joe
On their arms some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well 'round here baby I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love honey I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark and it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you anytime
Maybe your other boyfriends couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest

Well it ain't no secret I've been around a time or two
Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well there's another dance all you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love honey I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love baby I'm tougher than the rest
