ELLE & TONI
La majorité des interprétations de Elle & Toni sont des chansons devenues célèbres bien avant leur naissance. Voici quelques interprétations :
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Go, go... Go Johnny, go, go... Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go... Go Johnny, go, go... Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by they would stop and say
"Oh my what that little country boy could play"
Go, go... Go Johnny, go, go... Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go... Go Johnny, go, go... Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go, go... Go Johnny, go, go... Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go... Go Johnny, go, go... Johnny B. Goode
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains, Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared, Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey,... Hey, hey, hey
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey, ... Hey, hey, hey
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinson's affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids
Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey,... Hey, hey, hey
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this, you lose
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Woo, woo, woo
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
Hey, hey, hey, ... Hey, hey, hey
I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mm-mm-mm-m'mm-mm
Had it been another day I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware But as it is I'll dream of her
Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di
Fallin', yes, I am fallin' And she keeps callin'
Me back again
I have never known The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, di-di-di-di'n'di
Fallin', yes, I am fallin' And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Fallin', yes, I am fallin' And she keeps callin'
Me back again
I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mm-mm-mm-di-di-di
Fallin', yes, I am fallin' And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Fallin', yes, I am fallin' And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Oh, fallin', yes, I am fallin' And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube ohh oh oh oh
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so" oh oh oh
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Do do do do do
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
P.C. Thirty-One said "We caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures ohh oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh
But as the words are leaving his lips A noise comes from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Do do do do do
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead
I'd like to be Under the sea
In an octopus's garden In the shade
He'd let us in Knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden In the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden In the shade
We would be warm below the storm In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the seabed
In an octopus's garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
Because we know, we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden In the shade
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh, what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy, and they're safe
(happy, and they're safe)
We would be so happy, you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
They furnished off an apartment with a two-room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
700 little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red '53
And drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
They had a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
Six o'clock on Friday evening
Momma doesn't know she's leaving
'Til she hears the screen door slamming
Rubber squealin', gears a-jamming
Local country station just a blaring on the radio
Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo
Momma's on the front porch screamin' out her warning
Girl you better get your red head
Back in bed before the morning
Nine o'clock the show is ending
But the fun is just beginning She knows he's anticipating
But she's gonna keep him waiting Grab a bite to eat
And then they're heading to the honkey tonk
But loud crowds and line dancing
Just ain't what they really want Drive out to the boondocks
And park down by the creek And where it's George Strait
Real late dancing cheek to cheek Ain't going down
'Til the sun comes up Ain't givin' in 'Til they get enough
Going 'round the world In a pickup truck Ain't goin' down
'Til the sun comes up
Ten 'til twelve is wine and dancing
Midnight starts the hard romancing
One o'clock that truck is rocking
Two is coming, still no stopping
Break to check the clock at three
They're right on where they want to be
And four o'clock get up and going
Five o'clock that rooster's crowing
Yeah ain't going down 'Til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'Til they get enough Going 'round the world
In a pickup truck Ain't goin' down 'Til the sun comes up
Six o'clock on Saturday
Her folks don't know he's on his way
The stalls are clean, the horses fed
They say she's grounded 'til she's dead
Well here he comes around the bend
Slowing down, she's jumping in
Hey mom, your daughter's gone
And there they go again Ain't going down
'Til the sun comes up Ain't givin' in 'Til they get enough
Going 'round the world In a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'Til the sun comes up
You give your hand to me, and then, you say hello
And I can hardly speak My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell You think you know me well
But you don't know me, no
No, you don't know the one who dreams of you each night
And longs to kiss your lips And longs to hold you tight
To you, I'm just a friend That's all I've ever been
No, you don't know me
I never knew the art of making love
Though, my heart aches with love for you, yeah
I'm afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me, and then, you say goodbye
And then, I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy
I know you'll never know the one who loved you so
No, you don't know me
But, I never knew the art of making love
Though, my heart aches with love for you
I'm afraid and shy, and I let your chance go by
A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me And then you say goodbye
And I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know, yeah, the one who loved you so
No, you don't know me
Late one night when the wind was still
Daddy brought the baby to the window sill
To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky
The one and only time daddy saw it fly
It came from the east just as bright as a torch
The neighbors had a party on their porch
Daddy rocked the baby, mother said amen
When Halley came to visit in 1910
Now, back then Jackson was a real small town
And it's not every night a comet comes around
It was almost eighty years since its last time through
So I bet your mother would have said amen too
As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak
The papers wrote about it every day for a week
You wondered where it's going and where it's been
When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
Now daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms
To dream a little dream of a comet's charms
And he made a little wish as she slept so sound
In 1986 that wish came 'round
It came from the east just as bright as a torch
She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch
As heavenly sent as it was back then
When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
And late one night when the wind was still
When the night has come And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we′ll see
No, I won't be afraid Oh, I won′t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me Oh, stand Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won′t cry, I won′t cry No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin′, darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me Whoa, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you′re in trouble, won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me Whoa, just stand now
Oh, stand, stand by me
I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in Old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember until you're home again
You belong to me
I'm gonna be so alone without you
And I'm hopin' you'll be lonesome too
And blue
I've got your picture That you gave to me
And it's signed with love Just like it used to be
The only thing different The only thing new
I've got your picture She's got you
I've got the records That we used to share
And they still sound the same As when you were here
The only thing different The only thing new
I've got the records She's got you
I've got your memory Or, has it got me
I really don't know But I know, it won't let me be
I've got your class ring That proved you cared
And it still looks the same As when you gave it, dear
The only thing different The only thing new
I've got these little things She's got you
I've got your memory Or, has it got me
I really don't know But I know, it won't let me be
I've got your class ring That proved you cared
And it still looks the same As when you gave it, dear
The only thing different The only thing new
I've got these little things She's got you
Wise men say Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes Some things are meant to be
Take my hand Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes Some things are meant to be
Take my hand Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
Bump, Bump, Bump ...
Blue moon You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Bump, Bump, Bump ...
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold, oh
Blue moon Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Bump, Bump, Bump ...
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
Bump, Bump, Bump ...
