Late November Composer(s): David Surkamp - Pavlov's Dog - Steve Scorfina Performer(s): Pavlov's Dog; Steve Scorfina
Oh, she wants, she wants it badly And I, I can't believe all she said Because she's cool, yeah she's cool She's just like lightening Take her home, keep her warm in late November
I can't say why she's so strange now Why did I always believe all she said She's came down, held me close Came down from night skies Take her home, keep her warm in late November
She just goes to show you never know What's in your heart, what's in your soul She just goes to show you never know What's in your heart, what's in your soul
She's home now, but far away she flies But she don't know how she came Or how she leaves 'Cause she's cool, yeah she's cool She's just like lightening Take her home, keep her warm in late November
She just goes to show you never know What's in your heart, what's in your soul (Repeat to end)
Begin The Beguine Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and various other artists
When they begin the beguine It brings back the sound of music so tender It brings back a night of tropical splendour It brings back a memory evergreen
Im with you once more under the stars And down by the shore an orchestras playing And even the palms seem to be swaying When they begin the beguine
To live it again is past all endeavour Except when that tune clutches my heart And there we are, swearing to love forever And promising never, never to part
What moments divine, what rapture serene Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted I know but too well what they mean
So dont let them begin the beguine Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember When they begin the beguine
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play Till the stars that were there before return above you Till you whisper to me once more "Darling, I love you!" And we suddenly know, what heaven were in When they begin the beguine
Late Night Grande Hotel Composer(s): Nanci Griffith Performer(s): Nanci Griffith; The Kennedys
I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here I'm watching this evening fire burn away my tears All my life I've left my troubles by the door Leavin' is all I've ever known before
It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down It's not the way you call my name that left me stranded on the ground It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends I am just learning how to fly away again
And maybe you were thinkin' that you thought you knew me well But, no one ever knows the heart of anyone else I feel like Garbo in this late night grande hotel Cause living alone is all I've ever done well
It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down It's not the way you call my name that left me stranded on the ground It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends I am just learning how to fly away again
It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down It's not the way you call my name that left me stranded on the ground It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends I am just learning how to fly away again
Beggin' French Title: Reste Composer(s): Piergiorgio Farina; Bob Gaudio Originally performed by: Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons Covered by various other artists
Ooh, put your lovin' hand out baby I'm beggin'.........
Beggin', put your lovin' hand out baby Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby
Ridin' high, when I was king Played it hard and fast cos' I had everything You walked away, won me then But easy come and easy go and it would end
I'm beggin' you, won't you put your hand out baby I'm beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby
I need you to understand That I tried so hard to be your man The kinda man you want in the end Only then can I begin to live again An empty shell / used-to-be / shadow of my life Is hangin' over me Broken man, without a throne Won't even stand the devil's dance to win my soul
I'm beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby
I'm fightin' hard to hold my own But I just can't make it on my own I'm holdin' on, I can't fall back Now that big brass ring is a shade of black
I'm beggin' you, put your lovin hand out baby Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggar's Game Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
I saw her first in a beggar's game Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine
She took me in on a winter's night The air was brittle and the moon was bright My heart was heavy but her touch was light Deep in the dance we wandered Deep in my heart she fell
The candles glistened and the water gleamed She drew a bath and the windows steamed She looked like every woman ever dreamed In the heart of a lonely man In the heart of a lonely man
She took my blindness and she led me through As night retreated and the daylight grew And with the first rays of the sun I knew Love had another captive Love had another fool
The spell is broken and the chains fall free Finally my heart has come home to me It seems I've waited an eternity
I saw her first in a beggar's game Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine
Lástima, Luis Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Agárrate que hay ruina pues nada, que la cosa está fatal El Tony está en la U.V.I. parece que está o punto de palmar Así como lo oyes te juro Por Pastora que es verdad Anoche estuvo a un paso de que le diera el pasmo mareándose un "breakdance" en el Pachá Estaba ya muy chunga la taquicardia, el miedo, Ridiey Scott y encima va el imbécil a echar el resto con una menor que está, además, no veas como en sus años mozos la Bardot... y pasa lo que pasa que el alma pide marcha y el palo no lo aguanta el corazón Lástima, Luis, porque esta noche no estará el Tony con todo la peña en casa de Eduardo para escuchar su disco doble "20 canciones de amor y un Poema desesperado desesperado, desesperado" Faltaba ver al Tony con un equipo médico habitual como aquel hombre, tronco con tubos por delante y por detrás las vueltas que da el mundo ay, si resucitara Carlos Marx y viera a los que cambian las masas por las nalgas según los malos rollos de la edad Iremos ahora a verle me esperan Charo, Edmundo y el Gasset que han vuelto de Segovia de verte una benéfica al Chenel las veces que le dije cuidado Tony con esa mujer... pero él ni puto caso y va por ahí matando tirándose a morir al volapié Lástima, Luis, porque esta noche...
Beggar's Farm Composer(s): Mick Abrahams; Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig
Taking chances, and your reputation's going down Going out in the night time, good thing you make no sound But you don't fool me 'Cause I know what you feel If you ignore the things I see, someday soon's gonna Find your way down on Beggar's Farm Way down on Beggar's Farm
I pay my money for no returns I think I need you, gotta find someone Oh, you don't fool me 'Cause I know what you feel When you go wild and I ask you why, I don't worry When I see you lyin' down on Beggar's Farm
But you're on to me, gonna turn away Won't even listen when you try to say That you were only foolin' 'round 'Cause I know what you feel But if you ask me nicely, woman I'll wake up early one day soon And I'll visit you down on Beggar's Farm
Lástima Nena Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Zas
Estando aquí estoy bien nadie me atrapará y todo lo que me ataba desaparecerá Aunque me vea el mundo como un perro vagabundo voy a encontrar la verdad
Estoy seguro que vendrás a mí por más con tu vestido de sábado nocturno Si vienes perderás lo único que te queda mi herida aún está abierta
Lástima nena que el pájaro voló ni vos ni yo cumplimos nena el pacto de honor El cielo no es tan inmenso como algunos creen (creen no) no es así
Estando aquí estoy bien y aunque me falte algo los pensamientos de mi infancia están a salvo Si la felicidad es una burla del futuro me conformaré con estar seguro
Lástima nena que el pájaro voló ni vos ni yo cumplimos nena el pacto de honor El cielo no es tan inmenso como algunos creen (creen no) no es así

Composer(s): Hall; Graeme Anthony; Miler; Branko Bernard; Steve Wolfe
First performance by: The New Seekers - 1972
You know I'll beg, steal or borrow I'll bring you love
I look at you and I see what I've been looking for Now it's very clear to me - we should be together
You make me feel I could reach for the impossible And knowing how much you care, I'll be there forever
You know I'll beg steal or borrow To give you sunny days And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love You know I'll beg, steal or borrow (Yes, I will) To make your garden grow And most of all you know, I'll bring you love Love
I always knew that the world could be a finer place So what if I have to wait - better late than never
You, you're like me, and you believe love makes it all worthwhile And although we've just begun, we'll go on forever
You know I'll beg steal or borrow To give you sunny days And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love You know I'll beg, steal or borrow To make your garden grow And most of all you know, I'll bring you love, yeah Love
You know I'll beg steal or borrow To give you sunny days And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love, love, love, yeah Love, love, love
Beg, Borrow And Steal Performer(s): Ohio Express; Rare Breed; The Stand
You threw me out the night before last And now you want me back in your arms again You think I'm a fool, you treat me like dirt You pull the string and hope I will be your friend But I know what's on your mind So I'd rather stay out in the street without a dime And I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal Than go back to you Than go back to you Than go back to you
How long did you think I'd hang around Pretending not to see the tricks you pulled on me There's only so much a man can take Before his life turns into a tragedy So I'm getting out now while I can Cause I don't want to crawl I want to walk out like a man
Beg Your Pardon Composer(s): Francis Craig; Harry Beasley Smith Performer(s): Pat Boone and various other artists
If I lose my head, beg your pardon For things I have said, beg your pardon Why should I worry and feel like I do? You're in no hurry to let me love you I'll try for a kiss in the garden And then if I miss, beg your pardon But if some sunny day you'll let me have my way I won't have to say, beg your pardon
Last Train To Amsterdam Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
There's an old soul waitin' to be born There's a scarecrow standin' in the corn On of thems wishin' for the light of day One of them is chasin' all the black crows away
Well I'm standing at the station and I don't know where I am And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
There's a preacher out spreadin' the word There's a blond in a thunderbird One of them tells me to kneel and pray One of them gets to me in a real bad way
Well I got me a one way ticket to get me from where I am And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
I'm standin' just south of Fate There ain't no exit from the interstate There's one way in, it's a long dirty road Only one way our Robert Johnson knows
There's a hobo waitin' on a train There's a hitch hiker standin' in the rain One of them knows he's never going home The other one feels God down in his bones

Before You Accuse Me Composer(s): Ellas McDaniel Originally performed by: Bo Diddley Covered by various other artists
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buying another woman clothes But you've been talking to someone else
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago Your mama said, "Son, Don't call my daughter no more"
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buying another woman clothes But you've been taking money from someone else
Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time Come on back home, baby; try y love one more time You've been gone away so long, I'm just about to lose my mind
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buying another woman clothes But you've been talking to someone else
Before The Swedish Summer Swedish Title: Framför Svenska Sommaren Composer(s): J.E. Lit; L. Herscher; R. Grahm; K.G. Lundkvist Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
How I miss the summer It will soon be here Think how warm and nice we have it here in our country Green meadows, sun and sea You can take off your clothes You can lie and rest all day on the beach And when the evening comes You can take your loved one Out to a barn dance or just stay in town Before the Swedish summer How lucky we are to have it We always have something to look forward to How I miss the summer It will soon be here Think how warm and nice we have it here in our country Green meadows, sun and sea You can take off your clothes You can lie and rest all day on the beach Soon it will be here again The warm, beautiful summer Then all the green things grow and the sun shines on our country Before the Swedish summer How lucky we are to have it We always have something to look forward to Before the Swedish summer How lucky we are to have it We always have something to look forward to Before the Swedish summer How lucky we are to have it...
