Cest La Vie
Fighting the odds while we still have time
There is a limit dont cross that line
Its no good with water we cannot drink
Were a ship about to sink.
We pray but the wall is just too high
We pay with our lives to the dark tower in the sky.
Cest la vie life in the shadows
Cest la vie theres no tomorrow
Give us back the blue blue sky
Where the air is so fresh where eagles fly
What good is a planet thats slowly drying
What kind of life can it bring.
We pray but the wall is just too high
We pay with our lives to the dark tower in the sky.
Cest la vie life in the shadows
Cest la vie theres no tomorrow.

Cest What
Yes Ive been waiting
Waiting patiently and waiting
Well if you ever feeling sorry
So sorry for yourself
And they tell you not to worry
Just leave your problems on the shelf
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
Thats what they tell you
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
Day and night
Youre on the inside looking outside
Wishing you were somewhere else
But you sit back with reservations
As you count up all your unearned wealth
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
Ah theyre sayin it again
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
You know it and I know it too
Well let me tell you a story
Like the ones I used to know
bout love and all its glory
Well Im sorry but it just aint so
It took a long time just to get even
If you know just what I mean
So lets call it even steven
In the land of broken dreams
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
Ah theyre at it again
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
Every day and every night
I cant take it anymore
Gonna get it, dont sweat it
Dont apologize, its all around you
Gonna get it, dont sweat it
Dont apologize, its all around you
You may never be all that you wanna be
Deep down inside you, you know it will never be
No bed of roses or walk down the avenue
Culturally, socially, people walk over you
Get with the program and make with the attitude
Life is a dream if you face it my friend
Hey hey

Mucho mungo, sweet thing,
Sweetest little thing Ive ever seen.
Must have been a sweet dream,
Brought you here,
Brought you through the sorrow
And the tears.
Cest la, cest la, cest la vie,
Sail upon the ocean, sail with me.
Sail into tomorrow evry day,
Sail it to the sunshine through the haze.

Cest La Vie
It must be monday! what a dumb day!
Cant drag my butt outta bed
Somebody stop me--i need another coffee
Like a hole in my head
When everyday begins this way
Gets you down and can drive you mad
The daily grind can freak your mind
But life isnt all that bad
[chorus:]
Dont let it get to you
Cest la vie! thats life,
And thats how its gonna be
Cest la vie! hold tight,
It comes right eventually. oh--ho--
If only I could sleep in--
And wake up on the weekend
Oh, what a dream that would be, yeah
But fat chance for that one--
It aint gonna happen
Better get back to reality
I could be a slob or keep my job
That is the choice we have
The daily grind can freak your mind
But life isnt all that bad
[repeat chorus]
Everybodys got to do it!
Everybodys got to earn their way
Uh, come on now
You gotta work your own way through it
Everybodys got their dues to pay
Yeah
The daily grind can freak your mind
But life isnt all that bad
[repeat chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Cest la vie! thats life, and thats
How its gonna be
Uh, come on now
Cest la vie! hold tight,
It comes right eventually. oh--ho--

No G. D. M.
Wanna be a great dark man,
Being but a lesbian.
You are perfect you are sheer,
If you are a red haired queer.
Thats life, one dice,
Cest la vie, ma cherie,
But it really doesnt matter.
No gdm, no great dark man
No gdm, no great dark man
There wont be a great dark man
If I am a red haired queer
You are perfect, you are sheer
If you are a red haired queer
Tel aviv, had a sniff,
Cest la vie, ma cherie,
But it really doesnt matter.
Yellow teeth between pink lips,
I like sher with a crazy lock
Perfume behind a lobe of ear,
Rouge on my face hides my beard.
Long violet finger nails,
I adore those magic tales,
I dont mind, I dont mind
Wanna be a great dark man,
Being but a lesbian.
You are perfect you are sheer,
If you are a rat tat queer.
Thats life, one dice,
Cest la vie, ma cherie,

I Got The Message
I got the message
I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton dallumettes
It says I dont really miss you but I havent tried yet
I got the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et cest facile a dire and its easy to say
Well its mine [they got this thing they call the rhythm of life]
Not yours [it says to settle down & get a dog and a wife]
Get down [and everybodys doing it all over the land]

C'est Si Bon
c'est si bon (it's so good)
De
Com
C'est si bon
Lovers say that in france
When they thrill to romance
It means that its so good
Cest si bon
So i say to you
Like the french people do
Because its oh so good.
Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,
Leads to only one thought
And the thought is this, dear!
Cest si bon
Nothing else can replace
Just your slyest embrace
And if you only would
Be my own for the rest of my days
I will whisper this phrase
My darling, my darling...
C'est si bon!

Last Goodbye
French part :
( quoi ? quest ce que cest ? / what ? whats this?
Quest ce que cest piaf ? / what is piaf ?
Ah paris ! manger beaucoup le fromage ! / ah paris ! eat a lot of cheese !
La la la la la last goodbye... )
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But its over
Just hear this and then Ill go
You gave me more to live for
More than youll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why cant we overcome this wall
Well, maybe its just because I didnt know you at all
Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry cause I know that in time
Ill only make you cry, this is our last goodbye
Did you say no, this cant happen to me,
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didnt know him at all
You didnt know him at all, oh, you didnt know
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that its over... its over

You Never Can Tell
It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished em well
You could see that pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle.
And the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell,
Cest la vie,
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment
With a two room roebuck sale
The coolerator was filled
With t.v. dinners and ginger ale
But when pierre found work,
The little money comin worked out well
Cest la vie,
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono
Boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records
All rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down
The rapid tempo of the music fell
Cest la vie,
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
They bought a souped up jitney
twas a cherry in fifty-three
They drove it down to new orleans
To celebrate their anniversary.
It was there where pierre was wedded
To the lovely mademoiselle,
Cest la vie,
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished em well
You could see that pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle.
And the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell,
Cest la vie,

It goes to show that you never can tell

C`est La Vie
A woman came and said to me
Shed seen a lady sell her baby
For ten or twenty dollars maybe
And everybody thinks shes crazy
Theyre too blind to see
She never failed to call attention
To the things we never mention
Real horror, daily, courtesy of your tv
Cest la vie
(chorus)
A woman came and said to me
Now listen very carefully
Theres brother killing brother
People living on their knees
Biting sugar coated bullets
For the pain of this disease
Cest la vie
A woman came and said to me
She had a husband on an island
Found his body on a wasteland
Soldiers came and took him
Just to torture her you see
All alone she mourned her lover
Crossed the sea to find a brother
Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free
Cest la vie

Voulez Vous
(b. andersson / b. ulvaeus)
People everywhere,
A sense of expectation hanging in the air.
Giving out a spark,
cross the room your eyes are glowing in the dark.
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end,
Masters of the scene.
Weve done it all before and now were back to get some more,
You know what I mean.
Voulez-vous? (aha)
Take it now or leave it! (aha)
Now is all we get, (aha)
Nothing promised, no regrets.
Voulez-vous? (aha)
Aint no big decision, (aha)
You know what to do. (aha)
La question cest voulez-vous?
Voulez-vous...?
I know what you think:
The girl means business, so Ill offer her a drink.
Feeling mighty proud,
See you leave your table, pushing through the crowd.
Im really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game,
Master of the scene.
Weve done it all before and now were back to get some more,
You know what I mean.
Voulez-vous? (aha)
Take it now or leave it! (aha)
Now is all we get, (aha)
Nothing promised, no regrets.

Love is in my sight and I can see it if you can
Where do we come from, Ive been waiting for so long
We are all alone, say you will.
The lights have all gone home and are safely tucked away
Theres nothing to come between us but the words weve got to say

Where do we come from Ive been waiting for so long
We are all alone.
And now we are both here are we really within reach

Black Girls
I dig the black girls, oh so much more than the white girls.
I was so pleased to learn they were faster.
Cest, cest, cest vous Im after.
All comes a faggot white boy.
Said look, look, look first kind of joy.
They come around so queer and quiet,
As I rebel and riot.
Shall I dig the white boys?
All so much more that the black boys.
I was so pleased to learn theyre not smarter.
Go on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just say harded.
You know I love the lord of hosts,
The father, son, and the holy ghost.
I was so pleased to learn that hes inside me
In my time of trouble he will hide me.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.

Wind Me Up
Funny how I couldnt see
This is not at all about you, its about me
Everything has happened the way it was meant to be
Heres an opportunity for us to find
A way for me to tell you whats been on my mind
Please forgive me, I dont mean to seem unkind
But you wind me up, so wind me up again
I feel the tug of war, it only seems to happen
When we open loves door
Everything is back to the way it was before
Can you tell the difference or is it the same
Does it really count if we dont give it a name
Please forgive me, I dont mean to seem insane
But you wind me up, better wind me up again
Funny, but I thought you knew
All those things you think about I think about too
Gotta seperate the unreal from what is true
Heres an opportunity for us to find
A way for me to tell you whats been on my mind
Please forgive me, I dont mean to seem unkind
But you wind me up, so wind me up again
(french lyrics)
Quand le vin est tir, il faut le boire / when the wine is opened, you
Must drink it
Oh non, ce nest pas grand chose / oh no, its nothing
Ce nest quun emploi provisoire / its only a temporary job
Oui, je comprends / yes, I understand
Il a ni mordicus / he denied everything
Il trompe sa femme / he cheats on his wife
Cest du toc / its all fake
Ctait trs visible / it was obvious
Mais jai entendu / but I heard
Jtais terriblement gne / I was terribly embarrassed
Cest un cercle vicieux / its a vicious circle
Il a pris la poudre descampette / he ran away
Jai un maillot de bain une pice / I have a one-piece swim suit
Quand le vin est tire, il faut le boire
Oh non, ce nest pas grand chose
Ce nest quun emploi provisoire
Oui, je comprends
