Tant qu'il y aura des hommes (French for As Long as There Are Men) is a reissue of French singer Amanda Lear's studio album Uomini più uomini. The album was released in 1989 by Carrere Records.
Following the release of the Italian language album Uomini più uomini in 1989, Amanda Lear went back into studio to re-record some of the songs in French. The album was recorded at BIPS Studios in Milan and mixed at Heaven Studio in Rimini. Side A consists of four French language versions of songs from Uomini più uomini and one new recording, "Métamorphose", while side B contains five tracks from the original Italian release. The French version of "Telegramma", entitled "Télégramme", was recorded during these sessions, but ultimately not included in the final track listing. The song would later appear on various mid-price CD compilation.
The dance track "Métamorphose" was released as the lead single in both 7" and 12" formats, and, despite numerous TV performances, failed to chart. "L'École d'amour" followed as the second and final single from the album, released on 7" disc in 1990, but was a commercial failure as well.
Essential is a compilation album by the punk rock band the Ramones. It was released in 2007 by Chrysalis. The record is made up of tracks from the group's five albums on the imprint: Brain Drain, Mondo Bizarro, Acid Eaters, ¡Adios Amigos!, and Loco Live.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For once she was a true love of mine
Have her make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor fine needle work
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all with a basket of flowers
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea foam and over the sand
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Plow the land with the horn of a lamb
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Then sow some seeds from north of the dam
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
And then she'll be a true love of mine
If she tells me she can't, I'll reply
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Let me know that at least she will try
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Love imposes impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Though not more than any heart asks
And I must know she's a true love of mine
Dear, when thou has finished thy task
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Come to me, my hand for to ask
For thou then art a true love of mine
