Ah, well, if Arle is correct (and I see no reason to doubt him), the liner notes will not give me lyrics, so I will go ahead and get the itunes (cheaper, faster, easier, I have an itunes gift card) tracks and scrounge for words to each song I like. My French is such that if I have a script, I can pass. It has been 40 years since I studied and just about as long since I've had anyone to speak with in the language. My French has big gaping holes in it. Anyone with lyrics to these songs like to share? That would be very nice.
Thank you, Arle and Mitch.
