Home sweet home

 

(*) Willson/ Marinelli / O’Connell / Fildey

On a call, on a curb
At your best, or your worst
Never stopped keeping score
Summer's hot in New York

And it all comes back, it all comes back
It all comes back to you
Oh, it all comes back, it all comes back
It all comes back to you

Taste the sweat on your skin
Like the salt on the rim
Of the drink in my hand
This is not what I planned

But it all comes back, it all comes back
It all comes back to you
Oh, it all comes back, it all comes back
It all comes back to you

I tried to warn ya
I've had a hard time letting you go
I still adore ya
I didn't call just to say, "Hello"

When all your friends are headed home
This always ends with us alone
The night's not young, but we still are
You'll bite your tongue, or you'll go too far

And it all comes back, it all comes back
It all comes back to you
Oh, it all comes back, it all comes back
It all comes back to you

I tried to warn ya (ow)
I've had a hard time letting you go
I still adore ya
I didn't call just to say, "Hello"
How's California?
I shouldn't ask, I don't wanna know
I tried to warn ya
I've had a hard time letting you go

October song

 

(*) Winehouse / Rowe / Skarbek.

Today my bird flew away
Gone to find her big blue jay
Starlight before she took flight
I sung a lullaby of bird land every night
Sung for my Ava every night

Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise

With dread I woke in my bed
To shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoken 'til one day she couldn't be heard
She just stopped singing

Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise

Sun & Moon

 

(*) Alain Boublil

It's raining, it's pouring
A black sky is falling
It's cold tonight

You gave me your answer
Goodbye
Now I'm all on my own tonight

And when the big wheel starts to spin
You can never know the odds
If you dont play, you'll never win

We were in heaven, you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky

I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me

And when the big wheel starts to spin
You can never know the odds
If you dont play, you'll never win

We were in heaven, you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky

I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me

I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me

I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me

I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me

A whiter shade of pale

 

(*)  Reid / Brooker

First time, we got new album out, uhm
Yeah, thank you very much
(One, two, three, four)

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of 16 vestal virgins
We're leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Le métèque

 

(*) Georges Moustaki

Avec ma gueule de métèque, de juif errant, de pâtre grec et mes cheveux aux quatre vents
Avec mes yeux tout délavés qui me donnent l'air de rêver, moi qui ne rêve plus souvent
Avec mes mains de maraudeur, de musicien et de rôdeur qui ont pillé tant de jardins
Avec ma bouche qui a bu, qui a embrassé et mordu sans jamais assouvir sa faim

Avec ma gueule de métèque, de juif errant, de pâtre grec et mes cheveux aux quatre vents
Avec ma peau qui s'est frottée au soleil de tous les étés et tout ce qui portait jupon
Avec mon cœur qui a su faire souffrir autant qu'il a souffert sans pour cela faire d'histoires
Avec mon âme qui n'a plus la moindre chance de salut pour éviter le purgatoire

Avec ma gueule de métèque, de juif errant, de pâtre grec et mes cheveux aux quatre vents
Je viendrai ma douce captive, mon âme sœur, ma source vive, je viendrai boire tes 20 ans
Et je serai prince de sang, rêveur ou bien adolescent comme il te plaira de choisir
Et nous ferons de chaque jour toute une éternité d'amour que nous vivrons à en mourir

Et nous ferons de chaque jour
Toute une éternité d'amour
Que nous vivrons à en mourir

Heaven

 

(*) Jim Vallance / Bryan Adams.

Oh, thinkin′ about all our younger years

There was only you and me

We were young and wild and free

Now, nothing can take you away from me

We've been down that road before

But that′s over now

You keep me comin' back for more

Baby, you're all that I want

When you′re lyin′ here in my arms

I'm findin′ it hard to believe

We're in heaven

And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

Isn′t too hard to see

We're in heaven

Oh, once in your life you find someone

Who will turn your world around

Bring you up when you′re feelin' down

Yeah, nothin' can change what you mean to me

Oh, there′s lots that I could say

Just hold me now

′Cause our love will light the way

And, baby, you're all that I want

When you′re lyin' here in my arms

I′m findin' it hard to believe

We′re in heaven

Yeah, love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven, yeah

I′ve been waitin′ for so long

For somethin' to arrive

For love to come alone

Now our dreams are comin′ true

Through the good times and the bad

Yeah, I'll be standin′ there by you, oh

And, baby, you're all that I want

When you′re lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin′ it hard to believe

We′re in heaven

And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

Isn't too hard to see

We′re in heaven, heaven, whoa-oh-oh

You're all that I want

You′re all that I need

Horizon red

 

(*) James Boore / Zoe Andrianni Kypri

Held me high the horizon red
Vision never ending, there in my mind you stay
And I'm glad you do
Every night, every sky I see
Through all of my transgressions
Sometimes I couldn't feel you there with me

You shine like the sun
But it is dark when I am gone
Watch as life unfolds
So what is it without me?
No, you won't forsake me
Take me to a place where I am whole for once
Your only love

Held me high the horizon red
Vision never ending, there in my mind you stay
And I'm glad you do
Every night, every sky I see
Through all of my transgressions
Sometimes I couldn't feel you there with me

You shine like the sun
But it is dark when I am gone
Watch as life unfolds
So what is it without me?
No, you won't forsake me
Take me to a place where I am whole for once
Your only love
