- Avec Le Temps
Avec le temps....
Avec le temps,
va, tout s'en va,
On oublie le visage
et l'on oublie la voix,
Le cœur quand ça bat plus,
C'est pas la peine d'aller
chercher plus loin
- Compared To What
I love the lie and lie the love
Hangin' on, with a push and shove
Possession is the motivation
Messin' up the whole damn nation
Looks like we always end up in a rut
Everybody now…
Tryin' to make it real - compared to what?
- Dr. Feelgood
I don't want nobody, always
Sittin' around me and my man
I said, I don't want nobody, always
Sittin' right there
Lookin' at me and that man
Be it my mother, my brother, or my sister
Would you believe, I'll get up
- Four Women
My skin is black, my arms are long
My hair is woolly, my back is strong
Strong enough to take the pain, inflicted again and again
What do they call me? My name is aunt Sarah
My name is aunt Sarah, aunt Sarah
My skin is yellow, my hair is long
Between two worlds I do belong
- Just Tell Me Why
Just tell me why
There is no one to tell her come in out of the rain
she's just a child who's trying so hard to ease the pain
and so she makes a wish then closes her eyes
grabbing a dream, she starts to fly
She's like a tattered doll you find in an alleyway
- Lonely Woman
I need someone who'll
Be a companion you see.
I'm just a lonely woman
In search of company.
I'm not the kind of
Woman who's foot-loose and free.
I'm just a lonely woman
- Love for Sale
When the only sound in the empty street,
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop.
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town.
That her smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.
- Sister Sadie
Sister Sadie was a mean chick
and she tho't that she was real slick
then she rain into Alphonso Brown
She hasn't been the same since Alphonso put her down.
Sister sadie never worried
Sister Sadie never hurried
Then she rain into Alphonso Brown
She hasn't been the same since Alphonso put her down.
- The Saga Of Jenny
There onec was a girl named Jenny
Whos virtues was varied and many
Exepting that she was inclined
Always to make up her mind
A Jenny points a morrow
With witch you cannot quarrol
As you will finde...
- The Tokyo Blues
First chorus
Walkin' down the Ginza
I heard someone blowin' a cadenza.
They were playin' bebop
And people were drinkin' up some booze.
Well the music hit me
As hard as a case of influenza.
- Watermelon Man
Watermelon man
'cos he's got the best ones ever meant
He's a real good watermelon man
Everybody digs
Watermelon man
They are just as round as they can be
Makes you almost wanna eat the seeds
