Noubliez Jamais

John Robert "Joe" Cocker OBE (20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014) was a British singer known for his gritty, bluesy voice and dynamic stage performances that featured expressive body movements. Most of his best known singles, such as "Feelin' Alright?" and "Unchain My Heart", were recordings of songs written by other song writers, though he composed a number of songs for most of his albums as well, often in conjunction with songwriting partner Chris Stainton. In 1993, Cocker was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male. He was awarded a bronze Sheffield Legends plaque in his hometown in 2007, and received an OBE the following year for services to music. Cocker was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone's 100 greatest singers list.

Papa, why do you play all the same old songs Why do you sing with the melody Cause down on the street something's going on There's a brand new beat and a brand new song (he said) In my life there was so much anger Still I have no regrets Just like you, I was such a rebel So dance your own dance and never forget N'oubliez jamais I heard my father say Every generation has its way I need to disobey N'oubliez jamais It's in your destiny I need to disagree When rules get in the way N'oubliez jamais Mama, why do you dance to the same old song Why do you sing only harmony Cause down on the street something's going on There's a brand new beat and a brand new song (she said) In my heart, there's a young girl's passion For a life long duet And someday soon, someones smile will haunt you So sing your own song and never forget N'oubliez jamais I heard my father say Every generation has its way I need to disobey N'oubliez jamais It's in your destiny I need to disagree When rules get in the way N'oubliez jamais What is this game Searching for love or fame That's all the same One of these days You'll say that love will be the cure I'm not so sure N'oubliez jamais I heard my father say Every generation has its way I need to disobey N'oubliez jamais It's in your destiny I need to disagree When rules get in the way N'oubliez jamais
