Hey, what's the big idea?
Yo, Mika!

I said sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down
I said sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down

Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Oh, love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh, love's gonna get you down.

I went walking with my momma one day
When she warned me what people say
"Live your life until love is found
'Cause love's gonna get you down."

Take a look at the girl next door
She's a player and a downright bore
Jesus loves her, she wants more
Oh, bad girls get you down.

Sing it!

Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Oh, love's gonna get you down.
Say love, say love
Oh, love's gonna get you down.

Mama told me what I should know
"Too much candy gonna rot your soul.
If she loves you let her go
'Cause love only gets you down."

Take a look at a boy like me
Never stood on my own two feet
Now I'm blue as I can be
Oh, love come get me down.

Sing it!

Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Oh, love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh, love's gonna get you down.

I went walking with my momma one day
When she warned me what people say
"Live your life until love is found
Or love's gonna get you down."

Sing it!

Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Oh, love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh, love's gonna get you down.

Mama told me what I should know
"Too much candy gonna rot your soul.
If she loves you let her go
'Cause love only gets you down."

Waa-oh, waa-oh, waa-oh, lollipop
Waa-oh, waa-oh, waa-oh, lollipop

Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down


Lollipop.

GENRE: PSYCHEDELIC POP
ANNÉE: 1968

Jason Crest (formerly The Good Thing Brigade) were an English, Tonbridge, Kent based psychedelic pop group, active from around 1967 to 1969. Despite releasing five singles on Philips from 1967 to 1968, (including a cover of The Move's "(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree"), the band were never commercially successful and disbanded towards the end of the 1960s when their contract with Philips expired.
However, the singles "Black Mass", "Turquoise Tandem Cycle", "(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree" and "Place in the Sun" have all appeared on the Rubble collection of British psychedelia and freakbeat, and the band garnered a modest cult reputation.
Jason Crest's fourth single, "Waterloo Road" (1968), reached number one in France when French singer Joe Dassin covered it under the title "Les Champs-Élysées".
I was walking down a street today
And I saw a girl along the way
I asked to where she's going
And she said "Come with me"
She took me down this avenue
Where we met some friends she knew
And there we start and stopped awhile
And passed the time away

Down the Champs-Élysées
Down the Champs-Élysées
Friday night, Saturday
Any night or any day
You'll find what you're looking for
On the Champs-Élysées

Sitting in the small café
We heard the street musician play
Some waltzes on his accordeon
All night long
He's playing sound wheezy
But the melody was so easy
Now we all got up and join the man
We sang this song

Down the Champs-Élysées
Down the Champs-Élysées
Friday night, Saturday
Any night or any day
You'll find what you're looking for
On the Champs-Élysées

Now the birds are cheeping
And we all feel kinda sleepy
The morning sun has risen and
The moon has gone
But still the feeling lingers
And still I hear the singers
As I walked along the avenue
And sing this song

Down the Champs-Élysées
Down the Champs-Élysées
Friday night, Saturday
Any night or any day
You'll find what you're looking for

On the Champs-Élysées.

Les Champs-Élysées est une chanson interprétée par Joe Dassin en 1969.
Les Champs-Élysées est inspirée de la chanson Waterloo Road écrite par Michael Deighan et composée par Michael Wilshaw. Elle est interprétée par le groupe britannique Jason Crest en 1968. Le titre est adapté en français par Le parolier Pierre Delanoë.
Le titre fait référence à l'avenue parisienne des Champs-Élysées, qui bénéficie durant les années 1960 d'une image chic et élégante. Le narrateur se balade de manière insouciante sur l'avenue et Le refrain affirme: «À midi ou à minuit, il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Élysées».
Je m'baladais sur l'avenue le cœur ouvert à l'inconnu
J'avais envie de dire bonjour à n'importe qui
N'importe qui et ce fut toi, je t'ai dit n'importe quoi
Il suffisait de te parler, pour t'apprivoiser

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées
Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit
Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées

Tu m'as dit "J'ai rendez-vous dans un sous-sol avec des fous
Qui vivent la guitare à la main, du soir au matin"
Alors je t'ai accompagnée, on a chanté, on a dansé
Et l'on n'a même pas pensé à s'embrasser

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées
Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit
Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées

Hier soir deux inconnus et ce matin sur l'avenue
Deux amoureux tout étourdis par la longue nuit

Et de l'Étoile à la Concorde, un orchestre à mille cordes
Tous les oiseaux du point du jour chantent l'amour

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées
Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit

Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées.

Porto calmo de abrigo
De um futuro maior
Inda não está perdido
No presente temor

Não faz muito sentido
Já não esperar o melhor
Vem da névoa saindo
A promessa anterior

Quando avistei
Ao longe o mar
Ali fiquei
Parada a olhar
Sim, eu canto a vontade
Canto o teu despertar
E abraçando a saudade
Canto o tempo a passar

Quando avistei
Ao longe o mar
Ali fiquei
Parada a olhar
Quando avistei
Ao longe o mar
Sem querer deixei-me

Ali ficar
