Song For Old Lovers
03:54
|
|||
Storm after storm upheaving
For over twenty crazy years -
A thousand times you said I'm leaving,
A thousand times I packed in tears
The empty cradle by the wall
It must have rocked when I recall,
Our claps of ancient thunder
The fact was, nothing seemed worthwhile
You lost the funny way you smile,
And I, my sense of wonder
Oh my love,
my tender, marvellous, infernal love,
By day and night, and to the Lord above,
You know I love you still, I love you!
I've watched how much you can beguile one
You know my every wicked way
I must admit, I've been a wild one
But then, you also went astray
For what the blind eye doesn't see
Will save us all some misery
Not leave the heart to moulder
We've played like children for so long
Why change it now? It can't be wrong
To play at being older...
Oh my love,
my tender, marvellous, infernal love,
By day and night, and to the Lord above,
You know I love you still, I love you!
So hand in hand, we'll play the game now,
No more our precious time abuse
We've no-one but ourselves to blame now
On guard, we live our lives in truce
Oh yes, you're tougher now, I know
And I don't let my feelings show
The least that's said is soonest mended,
We'll have to keep out of harm's way
And live to fight another day
Our loving feud is never ended...
Oh my love,
my tender, marvellous, infernal love,
By day and night, and to the Lord above,
You know I love you still, I love you!

Once in a While
05:21
|
|||
Goodbye means our romance is over
Goodbye means that there's someone new
Though my heartbreak cannot be mended
Dear, I ask only this of you...
Once in a while will you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else may be nearer your heart?
Once in a while will you dream of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two drifted apart?
In love's smouldering ember, one spark may remain
If love still can remember, that spark may burn again
I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me once in a while
Adieu, signifie que notre idylle est terminée,
Adieu, signifie qu'il y a quelqu'un de nouveau,
Bien que mon cœur brisé ne puisse être réparé,
Bien aimé, je ne te demande que ceci...
De temps en temps, veux-tu m'accorder une petite pensée,
Bien qu'une autre soit plus proche de ton cœur?
De temps en temps, veux-tu rêver aux dour moments partagés
Avant de nous séparer, d'heure en heure?
Dans les cendres de l'amour, une étincelle vit,
Et si tu penses encore, to feu aura repris.
J'aurai du plaisir â rassembler mes souvenirs du pasé,
Si tu te souviens de moi, de temps en temps.
Adieu, biens que l'espoir s'éteigne,
Tout est dit et le monde est gris,
Mon cœur brisé, mais l’espoir regnè,
Mes rêves ensuite pourtant je prie.
Once in a while will you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else may be nearer your heart?
Once in a while will you dream of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two drifted apart?
In love's smouldering ember, one spark may remain
If love still can remember, that spark may burn again
I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me once in a while.
Goodbye means our romance is over
Goodbye means that there's someone new
Though my heartbreak cannot be mended
Dear, I ask only this of you...

Over the Rainbow
04:22
|
|||
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found,
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun,
Just a step beyond the rain.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can't I?
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh why can't I?

Soon I'll Be Home
03:01
|
|||
There's a song in your voice on the telephone
And if I had the choice I'd be going home
To laugh with you again - go walking in the rain...
There's a smile in the sound of the words you say
And if the road that I'm bound takes me away
But don't you worry none, soon I'll be home.
It's all right when the sun is bright,
And even when the skies ain't blue,
You'll be the sun in my head
I'll be the moon in your bed,
You've got me and I have you.
So, keep the song in your voice on the telephone,
And when I have the choice I'll be coming home,
To laugh with you again - go walking in the rain...
So, don't you worry none, I'll be home...
Soon I'll be home.

Oh Holy Lord
03:23
|

Chorus:
Oh! holy Lord!
Oh! holy Lord!
Oh! holy Lord!
Done with the sin and the sorrow.
1
Oh! rise up children, get your crown,
Done with the sin and sorrow,
And by your Saviour's side sit down,
Done with the sin and the sorrow.
2
What a glorious morning that will be,
Done with the sin and sorrow;
Our friends and Jesus we will see,
Done with the sin and the sorrow.
Cho.-
3
Oh shout, you Christians, you're gaining ground,
Done with the sin and sorrow;
We'll shout old Satan's kingdom down,
Done with the sin and the sorrow.
Cho.-
4
I soon shall reach that golden shore,
Done with the sin and sorrow;
And sing the songs we sang before,
Done with the sin and the sorrow.
Cho.-

Amazing Grace
03:37
|
|||
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I am found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
'Twas grace has brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I am found
Was blind, but now I see

Oh Daddy
03:04
|
|||
Just like a flower I am fading away
The doctor call to see me most every day
But he don't do me no good, why?
Because I'm lonesome for you
And if you care for me
Then you will listen to my plea
Oh, daddy, look what you doin', look what you doin'
Oh, daddy, you with your foolin', think what you're losin'
All the little love I gave you
Is goin' to make you feel so awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
Oh, daddy, think when you're all alone
You'll get so lonely just wait and see
But there will be someone else makin' love to me
Then daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all
Oh, daddy, look what you doin', look what you doin'
Oh, daddy, you and your foolin', think what you losin'
All the little love I gave you
Is goin' to make me feel so awfully blue
When you miss me, and long to kiss me
You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
Oh, daddy, think when you're all alone
You know that you are getting old
You'll miss the way I baked your jelly roll
And daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all

Baby won't you please come home?
Baby won't you please come home?
I have tried in vain
Nevermore to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
That will never make us part
Every hour in the day
You will hear me say
Baby won't you please come home
I mean - Baby won't you please come home?
I've got the blues, I feel so lonely
I'd give the world if I could only
Make you understand
It surely would be grand
I'm gonna telephone my baby
Ask him won't you please come home
'Cause when you're gone
I'm worried all day long
Baby won't you please come home, I mean
Baby won't you please come home
'Cause your mama's all alone
I have tried in vain
Nevermore to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
That will never make us part
Landlord gettin' worse
I've got to move May the first
Baby won't you please come home, I need money
Baby won't you please come home

Nobody Loves a Fat Girl
03:18
|
|||
They call for liberation
Said I should join the clan
I said ;When you've got "!!" like mine
Who wants to be a man?'
Long as I keep 'em happy
Sing 'em most anything
I help to make the world go round
With all the songs I sing...
Nobody loves a fat girl,
But oh how a fat girl can love
Nobody seems to want me,
I'm just a truck upon the highway of love
I'm all alone on account of my form
When every gram of me wants to keep someone warm...
Nobody loves a fat girl
But oh how a fat girl can love
Nobody loves a fat girl
But oh how a fat girl can love
Nobody seems to want me
I'm just a truck upon the highway of love
The only game that the boys want to play
Is sit around and guess what I weigh...
I wasn't built like Venus
That is so very clear
I used to wonder what they'd say
Whenever I'd appear
I used to think I had to fit
With the songs I sung
Now I let rip on everything,
But oh - when I was young...
There's plenty love a fat girl,
Cos, oh! How a fat girl can love!
Everyone seems to want me,
'Pass their test' upon the highway of love!
Those slinky women
Think they know 'amour'
Well, what they offer, well, I got a lot more!
Yes, everyone goes for the fat girl,
Cos, oh how a fat girl,
Oh how a fat girl,
Oh how a fat girl can love!
And I'm a big girl now!

The Last Performance
03:38
|
|||
The house-lights are already on and the show is at an end,
Resting like a babe new-born, I awake my sleeping friend,
Stifling back the urge to yawn, through the tip-up seats I wend,
No more song and no more dance, it’s the last performance,
And the curtain closes at the end.
The picture as the titles roll could make you laugh or make you cry,
But I know what you will be, little ‘fleapit’ so close by,
Another giant superstore, or garage for the car to mend,
No! You haven’t got a chance! It’s the last performance,
And the curtain closes at the end.
Goodbye -- heroes of yesterday, all gone and in a dream,
Goodbye -- the lady with the tray -- and the peanuts and ice cream...ice cream.
Used to wander on the street, alone, along the way to school,
Knowing, after, as I leave, my Dad would meet me, as a rule,
Gary Cooper, Errol Flynn, ‘gainst the ‘baddies’ all defend,
Children never backward glance, but now the last performance,
And the curtain closes at the end.
Goodbye -- girl with beating heart, for the movie star,
Goodbye -- the spirits that depart – and the nutty choc’late bar...choc’late bar.
It is all in darkness now, the empty house is weeping,
And we go to find a drink, no longer feel like sleeping,
An old man blows his nose and says, “This place was like a friend,”
Leaving in abeyance, that was the last performance,
And the curtain closes at the end.
The curtain’s fallen now...and it’s the end...It is the end!!!

La lumière revient déjà et le film est terminé
Je reveille mon voisin, il dort comme un nouveau né
Je relève mon strapontin, j’ai une envie de bailer
C’était la dernière sequence, c’était la dernière séance
Et le rideau sur l’écran est tombé.
La photo sur le mot fin peut faire sourie ou pleurer
Mais je connais le destin d’un cinéma due quartier
Il finira en garage, en building, supermarché
Il n’y a plus aucune chance c’était la dernier’ séance
Et le rideau sur l’écran est tombé.
Bye bye les héros que j’aimais, l’entr’acte est terminé
Bye bye rendez-vous à jamais mes chocolats glacés, glacés.
J’allais rue des solitaires, à l’école de mon quartier
A cinq heures j’étais sorti, mon père venait me chercher
On voyait Garry Cooper, qui défendait l’opprimé
C’était vraiment bien l’enfance
Mais c’est la dernière sequence
Et le rideau sur l’écran est tombé.
Bye bye les filles qui tremblaient
Pour les jeunes premiers
Bye bye rendez-vous à jamais
Mes chocolats glacés, glacés.
La lumière s’éteint déjà, la sale est vide à pleurer
Mon voisin détend ses bras, il s’en va boire un café
Un vieux pleure dans un coin, son cinéma est fermé
C’était la dernière sequence
C’était la dernière séance
Et le rideau sur l’écran est tombé.
