    Learn How To Fall
    Composer(s): Paul Simon
    Performer(s): Paul Simon



    You got to learn how to fall
    Before you learn to fly
    And mama, mama it ain't no lie
    Before you learn to fly
    Learn how to fall

    You got to drift in the breeze
    Before you set your sails
    It's an occupation where the wind prevails
    Before you set your sails
    Drift in the breeze

    Oh and it's the same old story
    Ever since the world began
    Everybody got the runs for glory
    Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan
    Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan

    You got to learn how to fall
    Before you learn to fly
    The tank towns they tell no lie

    Before you learn to fly
    Learn how to fall

    Blues
    Composer(s): Louis Aragon; Léo Ferré
    Performer(s): Léo Ferré



    On veille on pense à tout à rien
    On écrit des vers de la prose
    On doit trafiquer quelque chose
    En attendant le jour qui vient

    La brume quand point le matin
    Retire aux vitres son haleine
    Il en fut ainsi quand Verlaine
    Ici doucement s'est éteint

    Plusieurs sont morts plusieurs vivants
    On n'a pas tous les mêmes cartes
    Avant l'autre il faut que je parte
    Eux sortis je restais rêvant

    Tout le monde n'est pas Cézanne
    Nous nous contenterons de peu
    L'on pleure et l'on rit comme on peut
    Dans cet univers de tisanes

    Jeune homme qu'est-ce que tu crains
    Tu vieilliras vaille que vaille
    Disait l'ombre sur la muraille
    Peinte par un Breughel forain

    On veille on pense à tout à rien
    On écrit des vers de la prose
    On doit trafiquer quelque chose
    En attendant le jour qui vient

    On veille on pense à tout à rien
    On écrit des vers de la prose
    On doit trafiquer quelque chose
    En attendant le jour qui vient...

    Leaning On A Lamp-Post
    Composer(s): Noel Gay
    First release by: George Formby - 1937
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I'm leaning on the lamp
    Maybe you think I look a tramp
    Or maybe you think I'm round to steal a car
    But no, I'm not a crook
    And if you think that's what I look
    I'll tell you why and what my motives are

    I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
    In case a certain little lady comes by
    Oh me, oh my
    In case a certain little lady comes by

    Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
    She's fabulous, she's beautiful
    And anyone can understand why
    I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
    In case a certain little lady comes by

    She doesn't always get away
    She cannot always get away
    But anyway I know that she'll try
    Oh me, oh my
    I hope that little lady comes by

    She's not the kind of girl to be late for
    But this one I'd break any date for
    I won't have to ask what she's late for
    She'd never leave me flat
    She's not a girl like that

    'onderful, she's marvelous
    She's fabulous, she's beautiful
    And anyone can understand why
    I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
    In case a certain little lady comes by

    I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
    In case a certain little lady comes by
    Oh me, oh my
    In case a certain little lady comes by

    Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
    She's fabulous, she's beautiful
    And anyone can understand why
    I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
    In case a certain little lady comes by

    Blues (Follow Me All Day Long)
    Performer(s): Jimmy Rogers



    Blues, the blues follows me all day long
    Blues, the blues follows me all day long
    I got the blues so bad
    the blues tries to drive me away from home

    Blues, the blues won't let me take my rest
    Blues, the blues won't let me take my rest
    My mind keeps rambling
    like a wild geese out in the west

    You are my all day steady
    baby, you are my midnight dream
    I love that woman
    better than anyone I've ever seen

    Blues, blues please, please leave me alone
    Blues, blues, blues please, please leave me alone
    I got the blues so bad
    the blues tries to drive me away from home

    Lean On Me
    Composer(s): Bill Withers
    First release by: Bill Withers - 1972
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow
    But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow
    Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend
    I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
    Please swallow your pride, if have things you need to borrow
    For no one can fill those needs that you won't let show

    You just call on me brother when you need a hand
    We all need somebody to lean on
    I just might have a problem that you'll understand
    We all need somebody to lean on

    Lean on me when you't not strong, and I'll be your friend
    I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna' need somebody to lean on

    You just call on me brother if you need a friend
    We all need somebody to lean on
    I just might have a problem that you'll understand
    We all need somebody to lean on

    If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry
    I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me

    Call me (if you need a friend)
    Call me

    (Repeat) ...

    Leah
    Composer(s): Joe Melson - Roy Orbison
    Performer(s): Roy Orbison



    Leah, Leah! Leah, Leah!
    Here I go
    From the hut to the boat, to the sea
    For Leah

    Ah-hah, I got to go diving in the bay
    Got to get a lot of oysters, find some pearls today
    To make a pretty necklace for Leah
    Leah

    I've got to go deep and find the ones just right
    I'll bet my Leah will be surprised tonight
    I'll place the pearls around the only girl for me
    Leah

    But something's wrong, I cannot move around
    My leg is caught, it's pulling me down
    But I'll keep my hand shut tight, for if they find me
    They'll find the pearl for Leah

    And now it's over, I'm awake at last
    Old heartaches and memories from the past
    It was just another dream about my lost love
    'Bout Leah

    Leah, Leah! Leah, Leah!
    Here I go
    Back to sleep, and in my dreams, I'll dream
    With Leah, Leah, Leah!

    Bluebottle Blues
    Composer(s): Milligan; Carbone
    Performer(s): Goons



    Sound of door opening, and Bluebottle (B) runs up to microphone,
    where Segoon (S) is waiting

    B: Oh! Hello everybody!
    S: Just the lad I've been looking for
    B: Oh!

    S: Clamber in my head, Fred Whence all but you have fled, Fred There
    is no contesting, I've no way of manifesting How much I'd prefer you
    dead, Fred

    B: Oh I'm glad you like me, my Captain Because I trust you too
    S: Gratifiy your wim, Jim
    B: Jim? What happened to Fred?
    S: He changed his name
    B: What to?
    S: Chunky. Tell me, can you swim Jim?
    B: No, Jim can not swim

    S: Then step upon this plank, son On the river bank, son Which I have
    carefully arranged so it will suddenly tip up and throw you into
    thirty feet of muddy water when you upset the trim by stepping on the
    rim, Jim

    B: I say, it's not for deading me, is it Captain?
    S: Oh course not, dear boy! Just walk along it a bit further!

    B: Righty-ho then. Ahh. Here I am on the edge of the nice little
    wooden-type plank. It is a lovely day for a naughty blank.
    Arg! Oh! Yahhh! You've drowneded me. I do not like this game.
    I've got those "When I say I trust you I do not want to be drownded
    because I do not like those kind of game" Blues. I don't like tricks
    that go sploogy-splat (They say harm can come to a young lad like
    that) And I do not like explosions that blow me back to Christmas (?)
    Out of my el-seaside pudding queue (???) I don't like being wetted by
    nasty April showers And I do not like being nutted by Eifel and
    Blackpool towers So I do not want to be drowned, nutted, deaded,
    hitteded, splatted pledded! I don't like that kind of type blues -- I
    don't like that I've got them Bluebottle Blues

    S: Still alive? Take this cigarette, pet
    B: Oh ta
    S: No, don't light it yet, pet. All right, now you can light it
    B: Are you sure I won't be deaded or nothing, Captain?
    S: No, no -- don't be frightened!
    B: All right then, I'll just put a match to it, and ....



    You rotten swine you! You deaded me again. I
    shan't play this rotten game no more. Picks up fretted knee caps,
    replaces lugging lug hole And exists through little hole in middle of
    record

    (Milligan, unaccompanied) I'm walking backwards for Christmas -- oh
    no, that's on the other side!

    Leader Of The Pack
    ((French Version: Le Chef De La Bande (by Frank Alamo) - 1965))
    Composer(s): Phil Spector - Jeff Barry - Ellie Greenwich
    First release by: The Shangri-Las - 1964
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Is she really going out with him?
    Well, there she is
    Let's ask her
    Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?
    Mm-hmm
    Gee, it must be great riding with him
    Is he picking you up after school today?
    Uh-uh
    By the way, where'd you meet him?

    I met him at the candy store
    He turned around and smiled at me
    You get the picture? (yes, we see)
    That's when I fell for (the leader of the pack)

    My folks were always putting him down (down, down)
    They said he came from the wrong side of town
    (whatcha mean when ya say that he came from the wrong side of town?)
    They told me he was bad
    But I knew he was sad
    That's why I fell for (the leader of the pack)

    One day my dad said, "Find someone new"
    I had to tell my Jimmy we're through
    (whatcha mean when ya say that ya better go find somebody new?)
    He stood there and asked me why
    But all I could do was cry
    I'm sorry I hurt you (the leader of the pack)

    He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
    The tears were beginning to show
    As he drove away on that rainy night
    I begged him to go slow
    But whether he heard, I'll never know

    Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!

    I felt so helpless, what could I do?
    Remembering all the things we'd been through
    In school they all stop and stare
    I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
    I'll never forget him (the leader of the pack)

    The leader of the pack - now he's gone
    The leader of the pack - now he's gone
    The leader of the pack - now he's gone
    The leader of the pack - now he's gone

    There are bluebirds in the moonlight
    Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
    But that’s how I feel when I’m with you
    There are night owls in the daylight
    Silly idea, night owls in the daylight
    Or maybe my heart is saying hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
    Who is the one for me?
    You – that’s what you’ve done to me
    There are bluebirds in the moonlight
    Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
    But that’s how I feel when I’m with you

    Composer(s): Phil Spector - Jeff Barry - Ellie Greenwich - Georges Aber
    Performer(s): Frank Alamo - 1965



    Figurez-vous qu'elle était fiancée à Jimmy
    La bague qu'elle a au doigt
    Je suis sûre que c'est lui qui lui a donnée
    Tous les soirs à la sortie du lycée
    Il allait la chercher avec sa moto
    Et tu sais, il conduisait... comme un fou!

    Elle l'a rencontré au drugstore
    Il s'est retourné, lui a souri
    Elle l'a aimé, lui le Chef de la Bande

    Son père, sa mère ne l'aimaient pas, non, non
    Ils ne voulaient pas qu'ils nous voient
    Ils disaient "Ce garçon là n'est vraiment pas pour toi
    Et bien parce que: c'est le Chef de la Bande"

    Un jour son père lui a interdit
    De revoir Jimmy et lui dit que tout était fini
    Jimmy a demandé pourquoi? Elle a dit "je ne sais pas"
    Elle a dû le peiner, lui le Chef de la Bande"

    Il a souri, l'a embrassée, puis il lui a dit "Adieu"
    Il paraît qu'il avait des larmes dans les yeux
    Quand il a démarré dans la minute il...
    Elle lui a dit de ralentir, mais...
    Est-ce qu'il l'a entendue lorsqu'elle a crié
    "Attention! Arrête! Attention ....!
    Ah !!!!!!!!"

    Elle pense à lui presque tout le temps
    Elle se souvient de leurs bons moments
    Ses amis lui disent toujours
    De ne plus pleurer leur grand amour
    Elle ne l'oubliera pas, lui le Chef de la Bande

    Le Chef de la Bande qu'elle a aimé
    Le Chef de la Bande qu'elle a aimé
    Le Chef de la Bande qu'elle a aimé

    Performer(s): Art Mooney
    and various other artists



    The beggar man and his mighty king are only diff'rent in name
    For they are treated just the same by fate
    Today a smile and tomorrow tears
    We're never sure what's in store
    So learn your lesson before too late, so

    Be like I, hold your head up high
    Till you find a bluebird of happiness
    You will find greater peace of mind
    Knowing there's a bluebird of happiness
    And when he sings to you
    Though you're deep in blue
    You will see a ray of light creep through
    And so remember this, life is no abyss
    Somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness

    Life is sweet, tender and complete
    When you find the bluebird of happiness
    You will find perfect peace of mind
    When you find the bluebird of happiness
    Two hearts that beat as one
    'Neath a new found sun
    We are in a world that's just begun
    And you must sing his song, as you go along
    When you find the bluebird of happiness

    Is he really goin' out with `er? I don't know
    Look, here he comes now
    Let's ask `im
    Hey, Murray, is it true Betty's wearin' your ring? Uh-huh
    Who's that bangin' on the piano? I don't know
    You goin' out with her tonight? You bet yer fur
    By the way, where'd ya meet her?

    I met her one day at the Laundromat
    She turned around and smiled at me, ya get the picture? Yes, we see
    And that's when I fell in love with the Leader Of the Laundromat

    My folks were always putting her down (down, down)
    Because her laundry came back brown (brown, brown)
    I don't care if they think she's bad
    I fell in love cuz she looked so sad
    I got a date tonight with the Leader Of the Laundromat

    Dang it!!

    My dad said "Find a laundry that's new" (find a laundry that's new)
    How can I tell my baby we're through (tell my baby we're through)
    Gotta drive right into town
    I don't care if my shirts are brown
    I got a date tonight with the Leader Of the Laundromat

    Dang it!!

    When I finally got there, I told her it was all over between us
    I'll never forget the hurt and the funny look in her eye
    She grabbed my laundry and ran into the street
    Directly into the path of a runaway garbage truck
    I yelled "watch out! watch out! watch out! watch out! watch ou-u-t!"

    Dang it!!

    I felt so messy standing there (messy standing there)
    My daddy's shorts were everywhere (daddy's shorts were everywhere)
    Tenderly I kissed her goodbye
    Picked up my clothes, they were finally dry
    But I won't forget you, oh Leader Of the Laundromat

    (oh-oh-oh-oh)
    (ooh--ooh—ooh—ooh)

    Who's that bangin' on the piano?

    Performer(s): Hank Snow



    My ship set sail to Bluebird Island
    And slowly drifted out to sea
    Her silver sails to cross the ocean
    My lover's lonely heart set free

    Then out across the waves
    The bluebirds came one day
    Out o'er the silver sea
    Your message brought to me
    To sail my ship of love along the moonlit bay
    And anchor in the harbor of your heart

    The trade winds there on Bluebird Island
    Soon dried her lonely tears away
    The treasure I found broken hearted
    Was locked within my heart to stay

    Leader Of The Band
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    First release by: Dan Fogelberg - 1981
    Covered by multiple other artists



    An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
    His hands were meant for different work
    And his heart was known to none
    He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
    And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay

    A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
    He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
    He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
    His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand

    The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
    But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
    My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
    I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band

    My brother's lives were different for they heard another call
    One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul
    And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
    Living out this life I've chose and come to know so well

    I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
    I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
    I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
    And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough

    The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
    But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
    My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
    I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band

    Bluebird
    Composer(s): Leon Russell
    Originally performed by: Leon Russell
    Covered by various other artists



    Yeah I'm lost in the night
    The icy wind is howling out your name
    Desolation lingers like a fog
    The fire is growing dimmer in the wind
    I'm out in the rain
    The moon has gone behind the cloud again
    And I can't stand to live another day
    Cause my bluebird went away
    And I'm locked in this room with my sorrow
    No escape no way to get away
    And my only connection with tomorrow
    Is hoping that you might decide to not stay away
    Oh, I'm out on a limb
    If I could only find sweet love again
    And I can't stand to live another day
    Can't find my bluebird anywhere anywhere anywhere
    Oh I'm lost in the night
    The icy wind is howling out your name
    And I can't stand to live another day
    Bluebird why did you go away
    Bluebird why did you go away
    Oh, little bluebird, why did you go away
    Won't you tell me

    You hear me calling at the crack of dawn
    Jump up brothers come and face the morn
    Forget your aching from the day before
    'Cause today we're goin' to do that and more

    Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow
    Down we go for a working dollar

    I want de men, the women and the children too
    We got a long day out we got a lot to do
    We got to cut up, stack up and load the cane
    You better bring a shawl 'cause it look like rain

    Lead man holler, yo oh ho
    All men follow, down you go for a working dollar
    Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow
    Down we go for a working dollar

    Well a working man I am tired and true
    I won't ask you nothin' that I wouldn't do
    Well you pay today is the same as last
    Your work's the same, just a little fast

    Lead man holler, yo oh ho
    All men follow, down you go for a working dollar
    Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow
    Down we go for a working dollar

    Well I'd like to tell you `bout yesterday
    You work quite well, I am proud to say
    I want ev'ry man to try his will
    And make yesterday look like he was standing still

    Blueberry Pies
    Composer(s): Paddy McAloon
    Performer(s): Prefab Sprout



    Lying is killing the good things in me
    Ask me what the time is baby, ask me honey
    My eyes shift and slide
    Sure there are reasons for acting like this
    But reasons are kill kill killing the everything we do
    Who said we’d be happy the more that we knew?
    Oh don’t come a calling with answer me eyes
    All you’ll get my baby are blueberry pies

    But your being lovely
    And your being good
    Only depresses me, knowing how oddly I’m behaving
    Hello stranger - (the) stranger I’ve become - I’m an air raid
    Leaving both us orphans and four fifths afraid

    So if I come begging with take me back eyes
    All you have to tell me
    All you have to tell me are blueberry, blueberry pies

    Voleur De Pervenches
    Performer(s): André Bourvil



    Le voleur de pervenches
    Il est encore en prison
    Il a volé deux pervenches
    Pour en faire deux chansons
    Il a fait la première
    Pour le beaux yeux de Sylvie
    La deuxième pour sa mère
    Les deux femmes de sa vie

    Bienheureux le voleur
    Quand il vole des fleurs
    Pour l'amour et le cœur
    La, la, la, la . . . .

    Le voleur de pervenches
    A le cœur en liberté
    Les prisons sans dimanche
    N'empêchent pas d'aimer
    Et pour sa récompense
    Un miracle est arrivé
    Car il pleut des pervenches
    La prison s'est écrasée

    Bienheureux prisonnier
    Ton amour t'a payé
    D'un printemps tout entier
    La, la, la, la . . . .

    Le voleur de pervenches
    S'est enfuit de sa prison
    Il a des fleurs dans les manches
    Et l'printemps aux talons
    Toutes ces fleurs pour sa mère
    Pour Sylvie et ses beaux yeux
    Il a fleurit toute la terre
    Les printemps sont toujours bleus
    La, la, la, la . . . .

    I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
    On Blueberry Hill where I found you
    The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
    And lingered till my dreams came true

    The wind in the willow played
    Love's sweet melody
    But all of those vows we made
    Were never to be

    Tho' we're apart you're part of me still
    For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

    The wind in the willow played
    Love's sweet melody
    But all of those vows we made
    Were never to be

    Tho' we're apart you're part of me still
    For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

    Le Visage De L'amour
    Composer(s): Charles Trenet
    Performer(s): Charles Trenet; Dalida



    Vous êtes mes amis et nous aimons nous voir souvent
    Vous êtes mes amis d'aujourd'hui, d'hier et d'avant
    Au fil des années pas de fleurs fanées
    Et si le temps marche à grands pas vous, vous ne changez pas
    Vous avez le visage de l'amour
    Vous avez le visage des beaux jours
    Du soleil au printemps qui revient tout content
    D'apporter à chacun le sourire du destin
    Vous avez la fraîcheur des souvenirs
    Et le cœur plein de joie et de désir
    Car vous êtes la campagne et la ville et le faubourg
    Vous avez le visage, vous le vrai visage
    Vous avez le visage de l'amour
    Pourtant bien d'entre nous n'ont pas toujours été heureux
    Pourtant bien d'entre nous n'ont pas eu le ciel toujours bleu
    Mais les choses méchantes s'envolent quand on chante
    Et les grimaces de la vie ensemble on les oublie
    Vous avez le visage de l'amour
    Vous avez le visage des beaux jours
    Du soleil au printemps qui revient tout content
    Dapporter à chacun le sourire du destin
    Vous avez la fraîcheur des souvenirs
    Et le cœur plein de joie et de désir
    Car vous êtes la campagne et la ville et le faubourg
    Vous avez le visage, vous le vrai visage
    Vous avez le visage de l'amour
    "Oui, vous avez le visage de l'amour
    C'est curieux comme le visage de l'amour ça ne change jamais
    Parce que l'amour hein!
    C'est éternel l'amour, c'est beau l'amour
    Et puis l'amour c'estfidèle n'est ce pas!"
    Vous avez la fraîcheur des souvenirs
    Et le cœur plein de joie et de désir
    Car vous êtes la campagne et la ville et le faubourg
    Vous avez le visage, vous avez le vrai visage
    Vous avez le visage de l'amour
    De l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
