I Remember When I Was Young
I Remember When I Was Young
Composer(s): Matt Taylor
Performer(s): Matt Taylor; John Farnham
Well I remember when I was young
The world had just begun and I was happy
I used to wonder about the earth
And how it moved around the sun so snappy
Imagination going wild makes a very backward child, they told me
So back at school I'd sit around just waiting for the sound so I could go home
Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now
Well I remember when I was young
How one and tripence got ya to the movies
To look tough we'd lite a smoke and very nearly choke
But we had a real good time
Growing older meant you get to fly a saber jet and fight a few wars
So I'd just sit there all day and let my mind decay something awful
Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now
Well I remember when I was young
I had a secret love who never knew it
Well I'd do tricks upon my bike that never turned out right
I always blew it
And the day we had to part I had a broken heart
But couldn't let on
So I spent my holidays just thinking of the ways I must be going wrong
Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now
Well I remember when I was young the Beatles turned me on
I really blew my mind
And we'd carry Jack and Pam
We'd go and watch a band and have a real good time
Then I heard the Blackmans blues
They really blew a fuse inside my head
So with some friends we made a stand and formed our first blues band
It was a real good thing
Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now
Well I remember when I was young
Well I remember when I was young
I surely do
Well I remember when I was young
Well I remember when I was young
I surely do

Easy To Slip
Easy To Slip
Composer(s): Lowell George - Martin Kibbee
First release by: Little Feat - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
It's so easy to slip
It's so easy to fall
And let your memory drift'
And do nothin' at all
All the love that you missed
All the people that you can't recall
Do they really exist at all
Well my whole world seems so cold today
All the magics's gone away
And our time together melts away
Like the sad melody I play
Well I don't want to drift forever
In the shadow of your leaving me
So I'll light another cigarette
And try to remember to forget
It's so easy to slip
It's so easy to fall
And let your memory drift'
And do nothin' at all
All the love that you missed
All the people that you can't recall
Do they really exist at all

Tropical Christmas
Tropical Christmas
Composer(s): David Bellamy
Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers
Well, it sure is nice down here this time of year
The tourists are tanned and there's holiday cheer
Here comes Santa Claus, havin' a tropical Christmas
I'm mailin' out cards to the great frozen North
Sweatin' from the energy I could force
In jingle bells, havin' a tropical Christmas
And when the Sun sets down in the ocean
We'll decorate the palm tree
We'll mingle ornaments with coconut lights
Then we'll go caroling through paradise
And thank Baby Jesus for this tropical silent night
First we'll open our presents, then we'll lay on the beach
Later we'll call, see what relatives we reach
In their winter wonderland, havin' a tropical Christmas
And when the Sun sets down in the ocean
We'll decorate the palm tree
We'll mingle ornaments with coconut lights
Then we'll go caroling through paradise
And thank Baby Jesus for this tropical silent night
Hey Kris Kringle, when you empty your sleigh
Stop by and kick back with us a few days
You and Rudolph, havin' a tropical Christmas
We'll build a snowman in sand, havin' a tropical Christmas
Grandma wants a new bikini, havin' a tropical Christmas
Y'all come on down, we'll have a tropical Christmas
Bring your suntan oil, havin' a tropical Christmas
Let their be peace on Earth, havin' a tropical Christmas
Bring some surfboards for the kids...

I Remember When
I Remember When
Composer(s): Percy Haid; Ed Sarche
Performer(s): Eddie Fisher
and multiple other artists
I remember when your eyes were smiling at me
Now there’s just a cloud where once the stars used to be
Tender memories bring back your wondrous charms
In my reverie, you linger in my arms
Once upon a star I made a vow, so did you
Then you went away, forsaking all vows from you
Still I can’t forget the dreams I once shared with you
I remember when you loved me too
Once upon a star I made a vow, so did you
Then you went away, forsaking all vows from new
Still I can’t forget the dreams I once shared with you
I remember when you loved me too

Easy To Love
Easy To Love
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First recording by/First performance: Teddy Wilson and His Orch. - 1926/James Stewart - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists
I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me
I'm sure you hate to hear
That I adore you, dear
But grant me
Just the same
I'm not entirely to blame
For love
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every homefire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love

Trop Tard
Trop Tard
Composer(s): Alex Alstone - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Trop tard
Il est trop tard désormais
J'ai tout gâché
J'ai tout brisé
Trop tard
Je dois payer mes erreurs
Au prix d'un coeur
Qui m'aime
Je lutte avec moi-même
Cherchant un peu d'espoir
Trop tard
Ils sont perdus, je le vois
Les jours de joie
Pour toi et moi
Trop tard
Il est trop tard mon amour
Car notre amour
Meurt mon amour
Trop tard
Je ne vis plus dans ta vie
Et mon coeur cri
D'angoisse
Je sais, quoi que je fasse
Qu'on fond, c'est sans espoir
Trop tard
Mon coeur devra loin de toi
Battre sans toi
Vivre sans toi

I Remember The Cornfields
I Remember The Cornfields
Composer(s): Martin Mayne; Harry Ralton
Performer(s): Dorothy Squires
and multiple other artists
I remember the cornfields
In the wind softly sighing
And the swing beneath the chestnut tree
I remember my school friend
Happy days swiftly flying
And my room still waiting for me
The old harvest moon
Shining over the city
Discovers me there
And regards me with pity
While sad of heart I roam
I remember my first love
And the last time he kissed me
By the golden cornfields of home
The old harvest moon
Shining over the city
Discovers me there
And regards me with pity
While sad of heart I roam
I remember my first love
And the last time he kissed me
By the golden cornfields
Those lovely cornfields of home
Sweet home

Composer(s): Galt MacDermot - James Rado - Gerome Ragni
First performance/First release by: Jill O'Hara - 1967/1968
Covered by multiple other artists
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, we all need a friend
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Come, on, easy to give in, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Much too easy to say no

Trop Grand Pour Moi
Trop Grand Pour Moi
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall
Et les rues sont autant de couloirs
Silencieux et solitaires
Et les vapeurs du soir me font peur
Comme c'est grand la terre
Moi si petite, si fragile
Je m'étonne à chaque pas
D'être née dans ce monde là
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Si petite, si fragile
Et ceux que j'aime
Mes frères et mes amis
Se réveillent encore
Quand pour moi il fait nuit
Ils sont si loin de moi
Mon père, j'ai mis tellement de temps
À le connaître un peu
Comment faire pour ces millions de gens
Moi qui ne sais rien d'eux
Qu'une image sur un écran
Comme un petit point dans le temps
De ce monde si grand
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Si petite, si fragile
Je vole, je roule
Je prends tous les chemins
Je suis loin de chez moi
Mais ce monde est sans fin
Il est trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Si petite, si fragile
Il est trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Je m'étonne à chaque pas
D'être née dans ce monde là

Honoré (Maurice Chevalier) & Mamita (Hermione Gingold)
H: We met at nine
M: We met at eight
H: I was on time

H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
We dined with friends
M: We dined alone
H: A tenor sang
M: A baritone
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
That dazzling April moon!
M: There was none that night
And the month was June
H: That's right
That's right
M: It warms my heart to know that you remember still the way you do
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
H: How often I've thought of that Friday
M: Monday
H: night when we had our last rendezvous
And somehow I foolishly wondered if you might
By some chance be thinking of it too?
That carriage ride
M: You walked me home
H: You lost a glove
M: I lost a comb
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
That brilliant sky
M: We had some rain
H: Those Russian songs
M: From sunny Spain
H: You wore a gown of gold
M: I was all in blue
H: Am I getting old?
M: Oh, no, not you
How strong you were
How young and gay
A prince of love
In every way
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well

Easy Street (Julie London)
Easy Street
Composer(s): Alan Rankin Jones
Performer(s): Julie London
Easy Street, I'd love to live on Easy Street
Nobody works on Easy Street
Just lie around all day
Just sit and play the horses
Life is sweet for folks who live on Easy Street
No weekly payments you must meet
That makes your hair turn grey
When opportunity comes knockin'
You just keep on with your rockin'
'Cause you know your fortune's made
And if the sun makes you perspire
There's a man that you can hire
To plant trees so you can have shade
On Easy Street, I'm telling everyone I meet
If I could live on Easy Street
I'd want no job today
So please go 'way

Trop Grand Maintenant
Trop Grand Maintenant
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
On en a passé des mois de décembre
Avec la neige au milieu de la chambre
Et tous ces hommes étranges qui venaient pour couper l'eau
La moitié de l'année au régime
Ramener les bouteilles, compter les centimes
Et quand je te croise aujourd'hui, tu me regardes de haut...
Joe! T'as plus le temps
T'as trop d'argent
Tu es trop grand maintenant
Joe! Tu gagnes beaucoup trop!
Joe! T'as plus le temps
T'as trop d'argent
Tu es trop grand maintenant
T'étais chanteur dans des boîtes minables
Tu vidais ton cœur entre les tables
Pour quelques notables, quelques marchands de hauts-fourneaux
Après, t'allais voir de drôles de garçons
Pour qu'ils te parlent de révolution
Quand tu les croises aujourd'hui tu fais même plus attention!
Joe! T'as plus le temps
T'as trop d'argent
Tu es trop grand maintenant
Joe! Tu gagnes beaucoup trop!
Joe! T'as plus le temps
T'as trop d'argent
Tu es trop grand maintenant
T'as quelqu'un pour gérer ton affaire
T'as quelqu'un pour calmer ta colère
Y a toujours quelqu'un pour écouter tes méthodes
Y a des filles au fond de ta baignoire
Des flatteurs le long de tes couloirs
Mais y a pas plus seul qu'un chanteur à la mode!

I Remember Elvis Presley
I Remember Elvis Presley
Composer(s): Bakker; Dunhills; Ouwens
Performer(s): Danny Mirror
Last night I turned the radio on for the midnight news
Suddenly I thought I died of a broken heart
When I heard the announcer say...
"Ladies and gentlemen, the King is dead
Elvis Presley just died in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee
Forty-Two years on this planet, but he'll be here forever"
I remember Elvis Presley
Lord, how I love to hear him sing!
So I'll adore him just forever
For he's the one and only King
I remember Elvis Presley
And he won't ever set me free
Like he was singing "Now Or Never"
He's just a golden memory
Good luck charm is not forever
Good luck songs we need 'em ever
Again, again I'll play your songs
'Cause in my mind you haven't gone
Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss him tonight?
Tell me, dear, are you lonesome tonight?
I remember Elvis Presley
Lord, how I love to hear him sing!
So I'll adore him just forever
For he's the one and only King
I remember Elvis Presley
And he won't ever set me free
Like he was singing "Now Or Never"
He's just a golden memory
My dear friend, I won't forget you
When I need you, I can hear you
King, though I don't know where or when
There'll be a day we'll meet again
Wise man say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love again
Elvis Presley, I wanna thank you
For all the happiness you gave so many people
All over the world during many, many years
I remember the DJ was playing "Jailhouse rock"
When I had my first date with a beautiful girl
And since that evening you've been my friend, Elvis
I remember Elvis Presley
Lord, how I love to hear him sing!
So I'll adore him just forever
He's just a golden memory

Easy Money (Lowell George)
Easy Money
Composer(s): Rickie Lee Jones
First release by: Lowell George - 1978
There was a Joe
Leanin' on the back door
A couple Jills with their eyes on a couple bills
Their eyes was statin'
They was waitin'
To get their hands on some easy money
They flipped a dime
One said, "Well, I'll take heads this time"
One stepped up
One stepped back
One loosened her shoulder strap
She couldn't speak
Her knees got weak
She could almost taste that easy money
There was this old black cat
Sittin' in a old black cadillac
The Joe smelled sweet
She curled up at her boyfriend's feet
She said "I got a plan
Listen, Sam, how'd ya like to make some easy money?"
He say, "Yes! Oh Yes!
Jus' tell me what you want me to do"
She said, "Baby, you can trust me
Baby, but you must be hidin' in my room
At a quarter to two"
Well, the cat told the boy
"Come up to the room and play with my toy"
But the Jill set the bait
And she wasn't gonna sit around and wait
But this guy was wise to all the lies
And he flies out the door
With the easy money
Because there ain't no man
Who got the money in his hand
Who got any of that bread
Bein' slow in the head
The easier it looks
The hotter it hooks
There ain't no such thing as easy money
We say, "Yes! Oh Yes!"
Saturday night
There was a terrible, terrible fight
Between two dames who was losin' the same game
It wasn't clear
But I hear somebody was lookin' for some easy money

Trompe La Mort
Trompe La Mort
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Avec cette neige à foison
Qui coiffe, coiffe ma toison
On peut me croire à vue de nez
Blanchi sous le harnais
Eh bien, Mesdames et Messieurs
C'est rien que de la poudre aux yeux
C'est rien que de la comédie
Que de la parodie
C'est pour tenter de couper court
A l'avance du temps qui court
De persuader ce vieux goujat
Que tout le mal est fait déjà
Mais dessous la perruque j'ai
Mes vrais cheveux couleur de jais
C'est pas demain la veille, bon Dieu
De mes adieux
Et si j'ai l'air moins guilleret
Moins solide sur mes jarrets
Si je chemine avec lenteur
D'un train de sénateur
N'allez pas dire "Il est perclus"
N'allez pas dire "Il n'en peut plus"
C'est rien que de la comédie
Que de la parodie
Histoire d'endormir le temps
Calculateur impénitent
De tout brouiller, tout embrouiller
Dans le fatidique sablier
En fait, à l'envers du décor
Comme à vingt ans, je trotte encore
C'est pas demain la veille, bon Dieu
De mes adieux
Et si mon cœur bat moins souvent
Et moins vite qu'auparavant
Si je chasse avec moins de zèle
Les gentes demoiselles
Pensez pas que je sois blasé
De leurs caresses, leurs baisers
C'est rien que de la comédie
Que de la parodie
Pour convaincre le temps berné
Qu'mes fêtes galantes sont terminées
Que je me retire en coulisse
Que je n'entrerai plus en lice
Mais je reste un sacré gaillard
Toujours actif, toujours paillard
C'est pas demain la veille, bon Dieu
De mes adieux
Et si jamais au cimetière
Un de ces quatre, on porte en terre
Me ressemblant à s'y tromper
Un genre de macchabée
N'allez pas noyer le souffleur
En lâchant la bonde à vos pleurs
Ce sera rien que comédie
Rien que fausse sortie
Et puis, coup de théâtre, quand
Le temps aura levé le camp
Estimant que la farce est jouée
Moi tout heureux, tout enjoué
J'm'exhumerai du caveau
Pour saluer sous les bravos
C'est pas demain la veille, bon Dieu
De mes adieux

I Remember
I Remember
Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim
First performance by: Charmian Carr - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
I remember sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least I think
I remember sky
I remember snow
Soft as feathers
Sharp as thumb tacks
Coming down like lint
And it made you squint
When the wind would blow
And ice like vinyl
On the streets
Cold as silver
White as sheets
Rain like strings
And changing things
Like leaves
I remember leaves
Green as spearmint
Crisp as paper
I remember trees
Bare as coat racks
Spread like broken umbrellas
And parks and bridges
Ponds and zoos
Ruddy faces
Muddy shoes
Light and noise and
Bees and boys
And days
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

Easy Money (King Crimson)
Easy Money
Composer(s): Robert Fripp - Richard Palmer-James - John Wetton
Performer(s): King Crimson
Your admirers on the street
Gotta hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers
And I thought my heart would break
When you doubled up at the stake
With your fingers all a-shake
You could never tell a winner from a snake
but you always make money
Easy money
With your figure and your face
Strutting out at every race
Throw a glass around the place
Show the colour of your crimson suspenders
We would take the money home
Sit around the family throne
My old dog could chew his bone
For two weeks we could appease the Almighty
Easy money
Got no truck with the la-di-da
Keep my bread in an old fruit jar
Drive you out in a motor-car
Getting fat on your lucky star just making
Easy money

Trojanska Hästen
Trojanska Hästen
Composer(s): Traditional - Karl-Gerhard
Allting går igen ur tidens grums och mögel
dyker upp ett skrämmande fantom
Även Grekland hade sina Wandervögel
fostrade i Sparta och i Rom
Ur seklers skuggor ur årtusens damm
ett mystiskt spöke i nutiden glider fram
Det är den ökända hästen från Troja
moderniserad till femte kolonn
Majoren Quisling är en papegoja
som imiterar så gott han har förstånn
Vi äro synbart blott fredliga pågar
med grekisk rakborste uti vår hatt
men i ett huj dra vi fram våra bågar
och storma Troja från insidan "by natt"
Ty det Europa som högljutt hörs hoja
att makt är rätt har nu fått sin symbol
Det är den ökända hästen från Troja
som alltjämt spelar sin gamla hjälteroll
Bland de vilda hästar som har galopperat
på fru Clios rännarbana är
den trojanska hästen som sig minst generat
för att lyfta svansen här och där
I världsmanegen politikerna
som dumma Augustar står i parad - hurra!
Det är den ökända hästen från Troja
som sluppit ut ur historiens stall
I ryttargången sig statsmännen oja
en del ha socker i fickorna ifall
att hästen skulle va´ möjlig att tämja
det är en högst neutral politik
Vi svenskar umgås med kraken i sämja
han går numera i reguljär trafik
I vissa tidningar säger man: "Nå ja
på rätt vi håller - men helst på rätt häst"
Och för den ökända hästen från Troja
står odds i dessa dagar onekligen bäst
Där Akilles fann terrängen ändå "lavre"
skena hästen in med stor succé
ty han börja längta efter att få le Havre
innan han blev inställd på musée
Men femte ben rusa hästen åstad
om jag ej feltolkar grekernas Iliad
Så av den ökända hästen från Troja
drogs Marskalk Fochs gamla vagn till Berlin
Till fots gick ledaren på "Avenoja"
de l´Opera - och kom fram till Invali´n
Han sa god dag till Napoleon Boná
som lär ha vänt sig i sin sarkofag
och frågat: "Tänker monsieur ´Rubiconna´
och gå på vattnet? Det kunde inte jag"
Då svara Adolf: "Tja, utan att skoja
det är ej jag som ta´t in denna by
Det är den ökända hästen från Troja
som just nu släcker sin törst uti Vichy"
Under Gustaf Adolfs och Kung Karols dagar
stredo svenskarna i eld och köld
Svea Rike styrdes efter egna lagar
och ett lejon bar det i sin sköld
En igelkott bli´t symbol för vårt lann´
men jag vet en som är mer aktuell och sann
Det är den ökända hästen från Troja
en av demokraterna sadlad och skodd
En samlingskrake för slott och koja
med stora skygglappar, rädd att bli beglodd
Vårt gamla lejon blev fort pensionerat
när "Hesa Fredrik" för första gång tjöt
Av Bagge blev det till får ondulerat
det utav Rütger fick essen, stackars nöt
Men har det snart ej gått upp för de loja
i hela världen - båd´ fattig och pamp
att det är den ökända hästen från Troja
som hela tiden har kallats för Min Kamp
