Sleep, My Little Jesus (Traditional) Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
Sleep, my little Jesus On Thy bed of hay While the shepherds homeward Journey on their way Mother is Thy shepherd And will her vigil keep Did the voices wake Thee? O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!
Softly sleep, sweetly sleep My Jesus, sleep!
Sleep, my little Jesus While Thou art my own! Ox and ass Thy neighbors Shalt Thou have a throne? Will they call me bless? Shall I stand and weep? Be it far, Jehovah! O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!
Softly sleep, sweetly sleep My Jesus, sleep!
Sleep, my little Jesus Wonder-baby mine! Well the singing angels Greet Thee as divine Through my heart, as heaven Low the echoes sweep Of glory to Jehovah! O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!
Planet Earth Composer(s): Simon LeBon; Nick Rhodes; Andy Taylor; John Taylor; Roger Taylor Performer(s): Duran Duran
Only came outside to watch night fall with the rain I heard you making patterns rhyme like Some new romantic looking for the TV sound I'll see you're right some other time love
Look now look all around there's no sign of life Voices another sound can you hear me now this is planet earth You're looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
My head is stuck on something precious let me know If you're coming down to land is there Anybody out there trying to get through My eyes so cloudy I can't see you
Look now look all around there's no sign of life Voices another sound can you hear me now this is planet earth You're looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
Look now look all around there's no sign of life Voices another sound can you hear me now this is planet earth You're looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop calling planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth

Over in Cararne Many years ago My mother sang a song to me In a tone so sweet and low. Just a simple little ditty In her good old Irish ways And I'd give the world If she could sing that song to me this day
Tura lura lural Tura lura lie Tura lura lura Hush now Don't you cry Tura lura lural Tura lura lie Tura lura lura That's an Irish Lullaby
Often dreams I've wondered to that cott again I feel her arms a huggin me As when she held me then And I hear her voice a hummin to me As in days of yule When she used to rock me fast asleep Outside the cabin door
Tura lura lural Tura lura lie Tura lura lura Hush now Don't you cry Tura lura lural Tura lura lie Tura lura lura That's an Irish Lullaby
Planet Caravan Composer(s): Geezer Butler; Tony Iommi; Ozzy Osbourne; Bill Ward Performer(s): Black Sabbath; and various other artists
We sail through endless skies Stars shine like eyes the black night sighs The moon in silver dreams falls down in beams Light of the night The earth, a purple blaze of sapphire haze in orbit always While down below the trees bathed in cool breeze Silver starlight breaks down from night And so we pass on by the crimson (eye / knife) of great god Mars as we travel the universe
Vio secarse el sudor de sus sábanas y apagarse poco a poco su candil Planeó una huida despacio, lentamente para una noche, por ejemplo en abril
Ahorcaría su corbata y dejaría colgado su horario en la pared Y esa tela de araña que se metió en su frente le dejaría, posiblemente, de doler
Tenía ganas de luchar... yo que sé de hacerse una remuda en el alma cualquier sábado y emprender una vida tan bella como cien televisores apagados
Ella tenía un libro abierto entre las manos y la mirada prendida entre dos páginas El reloj daba la hora por costumbre y no pasaba nada, nunca nada
"Ya sé, mujer, nos preocupan los niños el colegio, los plazos, la casa en el campo" y se hundía en el sillón, sintiéndose vencido como letras de cambio
This World Is Not My Home (Traditional) Performer(s): Carl Smith and multiple other artists
This world is not my home, I'm just a-passin' through My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know My Saviour pardoned me and now I onward go I know he'll take me through, though I am weak and poor And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
I have a loving Mother just over in Gloryland And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand She's waiting now for me in Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally The saints on every hand are shouting victory Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from Heaven's shore And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Plan B Composer(s): Jimmy Paterson; Kevin Rowland Performer(s): Dexys Midnight Runners
You've always been searching for something But everything seems so so-so Tightly close your eyes Hold out your hand We'll make a stand Forget their plans and their demands
Plan B They're testing you - but don't worry
Plan B This week I'm strong enough for two I'm coming I'm running I'm burning I wouldn't sell you anything It starts off just joking and then they stop talking to you and that's the worst thing of all The worst thing of all Whispers more than loud enough Try to make you feel not good enough Try this Don't believe your eyes Hold out your hand We'll make a stand Forget their plans and their demands
Plan B Bill Withers was good to me
Plan B Pretend I'm Bill and lean on me I'm coming I'm running I'm burning I wouldn't sell you anything
Plan B Hold on to me
Plan B No don't be nervous Just trust in me I'm coming I'm running I'm burning I wouldn't sell you anything

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie J'ai tout quitté pour l'ingrate Sylvie Elle me quitte et prend un autre amant Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie Tant que cette eau coulera doucement Vers ce ruisseau qui borde la prairie Je t'aimerai, me répétait Sylvie L'eau coule encore, elle a changé pourtant Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie
Sleep Song Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen Performer(s): Hot Tuna
Sure a lot smaller every day. Wonder why we feel this way You don't know that I've got nothing left to say I've been blown across the water like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
I feel that longing loud and clear. Dead end streets and I lay here When your flying you've got nothing left to fear I've been blown across the water like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
Winter wind keeps blowing through the trees But life keeps breathing gaily as you please Hey now silver birches lying by the road Branches lined against the winter snow
We left the shelter yesterday. After we had played all day You can find that I've got nothing left to say 'Less your blowing cross the water like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't not way to feel 'Less your blowing cross the water like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
Plain Jane Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Bobby Darin
My plain Jane never wear no lipstick or paint You know she'll never try to be what she ain't Come early in the mornin' you can hear the fella's call (woo!) Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight so we can have a ball
(Yes, sir now) Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me
Her mouth's a little too wide and her nose a wee bit long And when you take a good look at her her shape seems all wrong But she got this little somethin' that's so hard to define And I wish that little somethin' was mine, all mine, all mine! (woo!)
And ol' Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me
(Oh, wee!) (Oh, Yeah!)
I used to go with glamor girls to worship day and night But Plain Jane has a cotton dress and it don't fit her right Icould never, never tell 'ya why I love her like I do But if you took her out one fine night, you'd feel the same way I do
(won't cha now) Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me I say, spend some time with me Woo!, Plain Jane I love her just the same Oh.... Plain Jane.....
Places That Belong To You Composer(s): James Newton Howard; Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman Performer(s): Barbra Streisand; and various other artists
Mornings, Evenings Days that hurry past Dreams that should have lasted Moments, Hours Slipping by as we Told each other secrets
Somehow I'll never let go of the memories Something always seems To remind me Of how it was Of what it was What it was All there was
Laughter, Love songs Footsteps that I hear Make me think you're near me
Poems, pictures Letters never mailed Boats that never sailed
Remember That even though we can't be together We're more for having loved one another We shared the sky We learnt to fly Someday when someone else's arms are around us When time has put some distance between us The years will kindly show Our memories come and go They ebb and flow like the tide
There are quiet places in my heart Ever since we parted Gentle, tender Traces of a song Places that belong to you

Places In My Past Composer(s): James Taylor Performer(s): James Taylor; Eric Kloss
There are ladies in my life Lovely ladies in these lazy days And though I never took a wife May I say that I have loved me one or two
Of the people in my past Fading faces in a waking dream And though they never seemed to last very long There are faces I remember From the places in my past I said, all the dead-head miles And the insincere smiles Sometimes I can laugh and cry and I can't remember why But I still love those good times gone by Hold on to them close or let them go I don't know I just seem to sing these songs And say I'm sorry for the friends I used to know
Place To Be Composer(s): Nick Drake Performer(s): Nick Drake
When I was younger, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older see it face to face And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day is done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you
