2.Comment Te Dire Adieu

JIMMY SOMERVILLE
Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Avoir de reflexes
Malheureux
Il faut que tu m' explique un peu mieux
Comment te dire adieu

Mon coeur de silex
Vite prend feu
Ton coeur de pyrex
Resiste au feu
Je suis bien perplexe
Je ne veux
Me resoudre aux adieus
Je sais bien qu'un ex
Amour n'as pas de chance ou si peu
Mais pour moi une explication voudrait mieux

Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derriere un kleenex je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adie

Tu a mis a l'index
Nos nuits blanches nos matins gris-bleu
Mais pour moi une explication voudrait mieux
Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derriere un kleenex je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adieu


3.Crucified

I'm crucified
Crucified like my savior
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed

I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away

I've seen the deepest darkness
And wrestled with gods
Ride the noble harness
Raining cats and dogs
I stand before my maker
Like Moses on the hill
My Guiness record baker
I abide your will

The first of reciters
I saw eternal light
Best of vocal fighters
Beyond human sight
Where thorns are a teaser
I've played a double jeux
Yherushalaim at easter
I cry I pray mon dieu
I cry I pray mon dieu


Prophets I've been reading
Stories I've been told
Before I end my breathing
I travel in the soul
Where thorns are a teaser
I've played a double jeux
Yherushalaim at easter
I cry I pray mon dieu
I cry I pray mon dieu
I cry I pray mon dieu
Adieu mon dieu


4.Dim All The Lights

lyrics:Summer

LAURA BRANIGAN

CHORUS:
Dim all the lights sweet darling
Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old Victrola
Gonna dance the night away

Love just don't come easy
No it seldom does
When you find the perfect love
Let it fill you up

REPEAT CHORUS

Dim all the lights sweet honey
Cause tonight it's you and me
No need to worry darlin
Cause it's for eternity

Love don't come easy
This you know I understand
I want to be your woman
If you'll be my man
Let yourself go freely and I'll
Show you things that you've dreamed of
Don't think that your dreaming
We've found the perfect love
And I'm like a cup come fill me up

REPEAT CHORUS

Do what you want
You can use me all you want
Take me bottom to top
Don't leave anything undone

No,no,no do it tonight
You know the moments are right
Turn my brown body white
Come let's dim all the lights

REPEAT CHORUS


5.Every Shade Of Blue

BANANARAMA
I have the saddest thing
Deep inside
Don't think that I will hear
From you tonight

Now the moon lights up
I know the stars will shine
But I can't escape
The way I feel inside

(Chorus)
Every shade of blue I see
When you're away from me
Thinking about you oh oh thinking about you
Every shade of blue I cry
'Til the colours all run dry
When I'm without you oh oh when I'm without you

Alone in the darkness
I can dream of you
But always the daylight
Comes around too soon

And the night goes on
Feels like it never ends
I keep holding on
'Til you come back again

(Chorus)

And the night goes on
Feels like it never ends
I keep holding on
'Til you come back again

(Chorus)


6.Finally

Lyricist:Felipe Delgado, Rodney K Jackson, E. L. Linnear, Ce Ce
Peniston

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams
The one and only true love or at least it seems
With brown coco skin and curly black hair
It's just the way he looks at me, that gentle lovin' stare

Finally, you come along
The way I feel about you it just can't be wrong
If you only knew, the way I feel about you
I just can't describe him oh, no no

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feeling's can't describe it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feeling's can't describe it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

It seemed so many times he seemed to be the one
But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun
But now you've come along and brightened up my world
In my heart I feel it, I'm that special kind of girl

Finally, you come along
The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong
If you only knew the way I feel about you
I just can't describe him oh, no no

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feeling's can't describe it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feeling's can't describe it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Finally, ooh
Finally, yeah, yeah
Oh

Finally, you come along
The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong
If you only knew the way I feel about you
I just can't describe him oh, no no

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feeling's can't describe it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feeling's can't describe it

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it


7.Generations Of Love

BOY GEORGE
I don't know much, but I know what I feel
There's too many people fighting, tied to the wheel
I don't know much, but I know what I see
There's too many people crying, washed out to sea

Generations of love

Generations of love (generations of love)
Generations of love (generations of love)
Have done you wrong

I don't know you, no, but you know what I am
Hey I don't need redemption, or no government plan
No big AIDS sensation
No 28 Clause
The end of apartheid
No message of war

Generations of love

Generations of love (generations of love)
Generations of love (generations of love)
Have done you wrong

The jew and the gentile
The black and the gay
The lost and the futile
They've all got something to say

The African nation
The sword of Islam
The rebels in China
The Sikhs and the Tams
The house of our father
The volumes of guilt
The luck of the Irish
The blood that we spilt
The angels and martyrs
The lovers and saints
The sisters of mercy
The brothers of pain

Generations of love

Generations of love (generations of love)
Generations of love (generations of love)
Have done you wrong


8.I Am What I Am

GLORIA GAYNOR

I am what I am, I am my own special creation
So come take a look, give me the hook, or the ovation
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn, till you can say 'Hey world,
I am what I am!'

I am what I am, I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum, some say it's noise, I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle?
Your life is a sham till you can shout out loud
I am what I am

I am what I am, and what I am need no excuses
I deal my own deck, sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
There's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can say 'Hey, world,
I am what I am!'


9.I'm Not Scared

EIGHT WONDER
Your life's a mystery
Mine is an open book
If I could read your mind
I think I'd take a look
I don't care, baby, I'm not scared

What have you got to fight?
What do you need to prove?
You're always telling lies
And that's the only truth
I don't care, baby, I'm not scared

Tonight the streets are full of actors
I don't know why
Oh, take these dogs away from me
Before they may bite

What have you got to say
Of shadows in your past?
I thought that if you paid
You'd keep them off our backs
I don't care, baby, I'm not scared

What have you got to hide?
Who will it compromise?
Where do we have to be
So I can laugh and you'll be free?
I'd go anywhere, baby
I'm not scared, I don't care, baby
I'm not scared

Tonight the streets are full of actors
I don't know why
Oh, take these dogs away from me
Before they may bite
Tonight I thought and made my mind up
I know it's right
I know these dogs still smell around us
But I can, I can fight

If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do (4x)
I don't care, baby
I'm not scared


10.It's Raining Men

Lyricist:Paul F. Jabara, Paul Shaffer

Hi hi, we're your Weather Girls, ah-huh
And have we got new for you, you better listen
Get ready, all you lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home, alright

Humidity is rising, barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
'Cause tonight for the first time, just about half-past ten
For the first time in history it's gonna start raining men

It's raining men, Hallelujah, it's raining men, Amen
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get absolutely soaking
wet
It's raining men, Hallelujah, it's raining men every specimen
Tall, blonde, dark and lean, rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy

It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen

I feel stormy weather
Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's raining men, yeah

Humidity is rising, barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
'Cause tonight for the first time, just about half-past ten
For the first time in history it's gonna start raining men

It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen


11.L'amour C'est Comme Une Cigarette

SYLVIE VARTAN
Quand tu es dans la lune
les idées en panne
je me voudrais brune
comme une gitane
me glisser entre tes doigts
et puis me brûler
me consumer pour toi
n'être que fumée
quand tu es dans ce monde
où tes rêves t'entraînent
je me voudrais blonde
comme une américaine
être douce et sage ou sucrée
t'emmener sur mon nuage de fumée

refrain :
l'amour c'est comme une cigarette
ça brûle et ça monte à la tête
quand on ne peut plus s'en passer
tout ça s'envole en fumée
l'amour c'est comme une cigarette
ca flambe comme une allumette
ça pique les yeux ça fait pleurer
et ça s'envole en fumée

je peux être française en robe bleue
anglaise, si tu le veux
ou être à la menthe
en bague dorée
ne crois-pas que je mente
tout n'est que fumée

on fait tout un tabac
quand l'amour s'en vient ou s'en va
on est les cigarettes qu'il roule quand il a envie
et je deviens fumée pour t'intoxiquer
de moi
blonde ou brune
brune ou blonde
je le serai pour toi
(refrain)


12.Losing My Mind

LIZA MINELLI
The sun comes up - I think about you
The coffee cup - I think about you
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind

The morning ends - I think about you
I talk to friends and think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing
Losing my mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

Or am I losing my mind?

You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
Losing my mind?
Losing my mind?
Losing my mind?
Losing my mind?
Losing my mind?

14.Relight My Fire

TAKE THAT
Help me escape this feelin' of insecurity
I need you so much but I don't think you really need me
But if we all stand up in the name of love
And state the case of what we're dreamin' of
I've got to say I only dream of you
But like a thief in the night you took away the love that I knew

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love

Turn back the times 'til the days when our love was new
Do you remember
No matter what was happenin', I was there with you
But if we all stand up for what we believe
And maybe live within our possibilities
The world would be wild for the dream
So baby don't turn away, listen to what I gotta say

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love
Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love, yeah

You gotta be sure enough to walk on through the night
There's another new day on the other side
Cos I got hope in my soul I keep on walkin' baby

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love
Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love, yeah


15.Smile 'n' Shine

PANDORA

I'm gonna make you smile and shine I'm gonna take you hight,
you're mine


I've been thinkin' so many times

That I won't get another chance always lived like

From day to day but with you

Things could just advance


'cause with you I find the situation

Like there is no need for conversation


I'm gonna take you high gonna make you shine on-yeah


And now I move in your direction I'm gonna take you high

Gonna make you mine oh-yeah and you're my big time satisfaction


Newly found but you are the one

Makes my heart beatin' way to fast and right now

Couldn't care no less whether or not this is meant to last


'cause with you I find the situation

Like there is no need for conversation


I'm gonna take you high...


I'm gonna make you smile and shine I'm gonna take you high,
you're mine


16.To Deserve You

BETTE MIDLER
I see so many golden women
When they walk their feet don't
Touch the ground
How I want, How I want to deserve you

Me I'm always out of rythm
My needs to demanding, too proud
How I want, How I want to deserve you
I did not want you to see me like this
lying in the dark and being cruel
How I want, How I want to deserve you

And if I could be granted a wish
I would shine in your eyes like a jewel
How I want to deserve you
I would die for you
Could you love me that much
How I want, How I want to deserve you

Yes, you tell me this
And I want to believe that it is true
How I want
How I want to deserve you
I did not want you to see me like this
I am week and I fight like a fool
How I want
How I want to deserve you

And if I could be granted a wish
I'd shine in your eyes like a jewel
How I want to deserve you
If I could be your rainbow,
I'd trade in my arms for sunbeams
To keep you close to me

And if I could trade my voice
for the silence I know that you need
How I want
How I want to deserve you
I did not want you to see me like this
So frightened of losing so soon
How I want
How I want to deserve you

And if I caught our love in a bridge
Just tell me without shaking lose
How I want to deserve you


17.Whenever There Is Love

DONNA SUMMER
Like the welcome of spring
like the light that you bring
to the skies that were empty and grey
just your breath in the night
can make it alright
when you sigh as you're drifting away
oh baby

All that is simple and good
lives in the places you stood
the things that are pure and true
paint a picture of you
And you are all I can think of
Whenever there is love
Whenever there is love
Whenever there is love

Like a brief desert rain
like the air that remains
making everything suddenly new
Oh baby and like the light in your eyes
as if you and I made a world that was only for two
oh tell me baby

If you are lost I will find you
no matter where you go
If you fall I'll be behind you
