Je pense que le titre dit tout, avec ces montées de chaleur extrême.

I think the title says it all, with those extreme heat rushes.

10 Degrees Above!

I don't do a lot of covers, but here is one written by Canadian artists Colleen Neumann and Don Zueff.

Lyrics:
	I ain’t a key chain that you dangle when you walk
	I ain’t a love machine, I ain’t no debutant
	I ain’t a doormat or the carpet on your floor
	I ain’t your baby anymore

	do you remember when you said you loved me true
	I guess those words never meant that much to you
	everything I ever felt for you just sauntered out the door
	I ain’t your baby anymore

	I take cream in my coffee, sugar in my tea
	you still don’t know anything about me
	too bad you didn’t take the time to understand
	‘cause you’d still be my woman and I’d still be your man

	you say my imagination’s just running wild
	the problem’s in my head I’m crossing wires, well,
	you should look in a mirror honey chile
	I ain’t your baby anymore

	I take cream in my coffee, sugar in my tea
	you still don’t know anything about me
	too bad you didn’t take the time to understand
	‘cause you’d still be my woman and I’d still be your man

	I ain’t a trophy you can hang upon your wall
	I ain’t your gofer so don’t call for me at all
        I ain’t a doormat or the carpet on your floor
	I ain’t your baby anymore

I Ain't Your Baby (cover)

This is a another cover of a Neumann/Zueff song which is on Colleen Neumann's CD “You Put the Song in My Heart”

Songwriters:   Colleen Neumann, Don Zueff and Eric Zueff.

Lyrics:
	Woke up this morning, crawled out of bed
	Echoes of a sleepless night still ringing in my head
	Put on my dancing shoes waltzed on out the door
	You won’t be seeing this boy any more

	Dreams of loneliness still swirling through my mind
	It seems so cruel that love’s so hard to find
	I searched all the spaces in this awful lonesome place
	But all I ever find are shadows of yesterday

	It’s way past time and I just can’t stay here
	Can’t wear my feelings like a mask for you my dear
	It’s just impossible to live the way we do
	I’m so sorry but it’s feeling like we’re through

	Got up this morning and left it all behind
	Decided I was better off to leave for good this time
	So now I’m out the door and dancing down the street
	Gone from your life for good and the freedom’s feeling sweet

	So now I’m out the door and dancing down the street
	Gone from your life for good

Feeling Like We're Through

Feeling Like We're Through (cover)

a cover of a Jerry Reed classic.

	Anybody who performs music live does covers - sometimes to make up material, sometimes because it is a favourite song, and sometimes, as in this case, out of admiration for a great songwriter.   Amos Moses was a regular request at my gigs, perhaps because it is such a good story.
	My apologies to fans of the late, great, Jerry Reed if this does not reach an acceptable musical standard.

Lyrics:
	now Amos Moses was a cajun 
	he lived by himself in the swamp 
	he hunted alligator for a living 
	just knock 'em on the head with a stump 
	the Loosiana law gonna getcha Amos 
	it ain't legal huntin' alligator down in the swamp boy 

	now everyone blamed his old man 
	for making him mean as a snake 
	when Amos Moses was a boy 
	his daddy would use him for alligator bait 
	tie a rope around his leg and throw him in the swamp 
	alligator bait in the Loosiana bayou 


	'bout forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeau Loosiana 
	lived a man called Buck Mill South and his pretty wife Hannah 
	they raised a son who could eat up his weight in groceries 
	named him after a man of the cloth - called him Amos Moses

	now folks 'round south Loosiana 
	reckoned Amos was a hell of a man 
	he could trap the biggest the meanest alligator 
	in his huge right hand 
	that's all he got left cause the alligator bit 'im 
	left arm gone clear up to the elbow 

	well the sheriff got wind that Amos
	was in the swamp huntin' alligator skin 
	so he snuck in the swamp gonna getcha boy 
	but he never came out again
	well I wonder where the Loosiana sheriff went to 
	you can sure get lost in the Loosiana bayou

Amos Moses

Amos Moses (Jerry Reed cover)

This song began life in 1953 as a rumba entitled: “¿Quién será?” by Mexican composer Luis Demetrio.   Norman Gimbel added English lyrics and in 1954 the song, renamed “Sway” became a hit for Dean Martin.
	“Sway” has since been recorded by many artists, most notably Shaft in 1999, and Micheal Buble in 2003.
	My version has moved away from Buble's extravagant stage version towards a more acoustic but still danceable, maybe, sound.   Anyhow, it is a great song and I hope this version does not put you off.

Sway

Sway  (cover)

Written by singer/songwriter Hamilton Camp in 1964, this song was most famously covered by Gordon Lightfoot (1966) and Quicksilver Messenger Service (1968).
Perhaps not as well known as other apocalyptic protest songs of the time, such as “In the Year 2525”  (Xager & Evans 1969), “It's Good News Week”  (Hedgehoppers Anonymous 1965), and “The Eve of Destruction”  (P F Sloan 1964) it has never the less survived the last half century, delivering a message still relevant to our times.
I recorded this somewhat over-the-top version for no other reason than I really like the song.

Lyrics:
turn around, go back down, back the way you came
can’t you see that flash of fire, ten times brighter than the day
and behold, a mighty city, broken in the dust again
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again

turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt’s buried in her shame
their mighty men are beaten down, their kings have fallen in the ways
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again

turn around, go back down, back the way you came
terror is on every side, all the leaders are dismayed
for those who put their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again

turn around, go back down, back the way you came
shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised
on Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame
it shall cause thy towers to fall in a sea of fire and flame
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again

oh thou that dwell on many waters rich in treasure wide in fame
bow unto a god of gold, thy pride and might shall be thy shame
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again
and only god can lead the people back onto the earth again

thy holy mountain be restored
thy mercy on thy people Lord

Pride Of Man (Hamilton Camp cover)

This song was written by one of Australia's greatest songwriters, Archie Roach, in 1990 and was included in his first album “Charcoal Lane”.   I have seen Archie live many times – he gives such great performances that I was a bit dubious about posting my own version of his song.   I justify the posting on two grounds: one, this is not one of Archie's best known songs, and, two, I have done this song many times in small venues.
	 If you wish to hear what this song really should sound like, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wy9sxcxOFU for Archie Roach's original version.

Lyrics:
	Sitting here in a lonely old guest house
	I'm sure that my life is all through
	Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse
	and making love to the memory of you

	For without you I'm weak and uncertain
	And I feel so naked and cold
	Like a window without any curtains
	My innermost feelings unfold

	The drink I just had
	It wasn't as bad as the first
	But drinking won't do
	When it's only for you I thirst

	For your kiss it quenches all burning
	It's sweeter than the sweetest of wine
	Now you're gone I find myself yearning
	For the love that I left behind

	Nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
	And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
	I lied

	Nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
	And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
	I lied. I lied.

singer/songwriter from Yarra Valley, Australia.   Struggling as much with modern times as with times past.   I guess that makes me a chronic struggler.
