Let Her Go Into The Darkness Composer(s): Jonathan Richman Performer(s): Jonathan Richman
Well, she's back with her old boyfriend he don't challenge her, he don't contend with her And she don't answer the cards you send and you're jelous of the time that he spends with her
Just let her go into the darkness let her learn from all the things there Let her go into the darkness let her go, let her go, let her go
Bread & Roses Composer(s): Mimi Fariña; James Oppenheim; Caroline Kohlsaat; Martha Coleman Performer(s): John Denver and various other artists
As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses For the people hear us singing, "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!"
As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men For they are women's children, and we mother them again Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes Hearts starve as well as bodies, give us bread, but give us roses!
As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too!
As we come marching, marching, we bring the greater days The rising of the women means the rising of the race No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes But a sharing of life's glories, Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!
Let Go Of The Stone Composer(s): Max D. Barnes Performer(s): John Anderson
You shouldn't wade out in deep water when you don't know how to swim He told you it was over and like a fool you followed him into a whirlpool of emotion spinnin' out of control It's killin' you, but you won't let him go
Let go of the stone if you don't wanna drown in the sea of heartache that's draggin' you down It's pulling you under and you keep hangin' on If I'm ever gonna save you Let go of the stone
Oh don't you realize the danger and the hurt you're headed for Put your arms around me and swim with me to shore Just let go of that ol' mem'ry I know it's hard to do But I'll be here holding on to you
Let go of the stone if you don't wanna drown in the sea of heartache that's draggin' you down It's pulling you under and you keep hangin' on If I'm ever gonna save you Let go of the stone
Bread And Gravy Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael Performer(s): Ethel Waters and various other artists
Bread and gravy, lots of bread and gravy Beans and bacon, lots of beans and bacon No more frettin' since I've been gettin' Lots of bread and gravy all the time
Peace and quiet, lots of peace and quiet Friends and money, lots of friends and money No more ramblin', I'm through with scramblin' Keep up with the Joneses all the time
Got no reason to be swell And my clothes all fit me well And I wear a nice ring I'm as free as I can be And my honey's lovin' me So I just can't keep from singin'
Bread and gravy, lots of bread and gravy Goodnight kisses, my love never misses No more blues now, no bad news now Just lots of bread and gravy all the time
Let Go Composer(s): Daryll Duncan Performer(s): Sharon Bryant
Hey...ey...yeah...eah...eah...eah... Oh...oh...
I've been searchin', searchin' for so long For that special guy I can call my own I never realized love could be so hard to find, ooh I need a lover, a lover with a steady hand Need somebody, somebody who will understand The one who could soon give me what I need
I need (Someone who) Can make me feel all right (Someone who) Can take me through the night (Someone who) Can make my feelings show (Someone who) Can make me just let go
I wanna lose my self control All I wanna do is let go And let all my emotions explode I've got to let it go
I've been waiting, can't wait much longer I've been patient, but I need something stronger Wanna find the kind of feeling that I can't deny It's gotta be just right, something close to dynamite Too tough, I never wanna get enough I need to release what I'm feelin' inside
I need (Someone who) Can make me feel all right (Someone who) Can take me through the night (Someone who) Can make my feelings show (Someone who) Can make me just let go
I wanna lose my self control All I wanna do is let go And let all my emotions explode I've got to let it, got to let it go
Ah... Got to let it go, mmm Yeah Let-let-let go Got to let it, got to let it go Let go Mmm, mmm, mmm Let-let-let go Got to let it, got to let it go
I need (Someone who) Can make me feel all right (Someone who) Can take me through the night (Someone who) Can make my feelings show (Someone who) Can make me just let go
Let go And let all my emotions explode I've got to let, got to let go
I wanna lose my self control All I wanna do is let go And let all my emotions explode Got to let it, got to let it go
I wanna lose, wanna lose All I wanna do is let go And let all my emotions explode
Let go I need someone to help me let go
Let go I wanna lose my self control Let go And let all my emotions explode

Voa andorinha preta De asa arrepiada Vai, vai dormir teu sono, andorinha Que é de madrugada
É, muita coisa não devia se fazer Muitas vezes a gente chora Por deixar seu bem querer Minha cabocla foi-se embora do sertão Fez que nem as andorinhas Foi buscar outro verão
Eu tinha uma andorinha que me fugiu da gaiola Eu tinha uma andorinha que me fugiu da gaiola Eu tinha uma andorinha que me fugiu da gaiola Eu tinha uma andorinha que me fugiu da gaiola Eu tinha uma andorinha que me...

It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
The heart of every man in our platoon must swell with pride For the nation's youth, the cream of which is marching at his side For the fascinating rules and regulations that we share And the quaint and curious costumes that we're called upon to wear!
Now Al joined up to do his part, defending you and me He wants to fight and bleed and kill, and die for liberty! With the hell of war he's come to grips Policing up the filter tips It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
When Pete was only in the seventh grade, he stabbed a cop! He's real RA material, and he was glad to swop His switch blade and his old zip gun For a bayonet and a new M1 It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
After Johnny got through basic traing, he Was a soldier through and through, and he was done! Its effects were so well rooted That the next day he saluted A good humour man, an usher and a nun!
Now Fran's an interlectual, brings a book to every meal He likes the deep philosophers, like Norman Winston Peel He thinks the army's just the thing Because he finds it broadening It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Now Ed flunked out of second grade and never finished school He doesn't know a shelter half from an entrenching tool! But he's going to be a big success He heads his class at OCS It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Our old mess sergeant's taste buds had been shot off in the war But his savoury collations add to our esprit de corps! To think of all the marvellous ways They're using plastics nowadays It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Our lieutenant is the up and coming type Played with soldiers as a boy you just can bet! It is written in the stars He will get his captains' bars But he hasn't got enough box tops yet!
Our captain has a handicap to cope with, sad to tell He's from Georgia and he doesn't speak the language very well! He used to be, so rumour has The dean of men at Alcatraz It makes a fella proud to be What as a kid I vowed to be what luck to be allowed to be A soldier! At ease!
Brazil Composer(s): Bob Russell; Ary Barroso Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June We stood beneath an amber moon And softly murmured "Someday soon" We kissed and clung together
Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing I'm certain of Return I will to old Brazil
Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing that I'm certain of Return I will to old Brazil That old Brazil Man, it's old in Brazil Brazil, Brazil
She's My Girl Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
Sharks gotta swim and bats gotta fly I gotta love one woman till I die To Ed or Dick or Bob She may be just a slob But to me, well she's my girl!
In Winter the bedroom is one large ice cube And she squeezes the toothpaste from the middle of the tube! Her hairs in the sink Have driven me to drink But she's my girl She's my girl She's my girl and I love her!
The girl that I lament for The girl my money spent for The girl my back is bent for The girl I owe the rent for The girl I gave up Lent for Is the girl that heaven meant for me!
So for breakfast she makes coffee that tastes like shampoo I come for dinner and get peanut butter stew Or if I'm in luck It's broiled hockey puck! But oh well What the hell! She's my girl and I love her!

Nous avons joué notre vie ensemble Et puis un beau jour la chance a tourné On ne finira pas la partie ensemble Et chacun s'en va seul de son côté
Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu On s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus J'étais sure de moi je vivais tranquille Et ta main dans ma main je croisais les doigts Et tous les tricheurs de la grande ville Ne me faisaient pas peur quand tu étais là
Mais les dés sont jetés pair impair,rouges ou noirs qui est le plus heureux de nous deux ce soir Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu on s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus...
Est-ce qu'elle est ta complice cette partenaire Que tu as choisi pour me remplacer En amour la loi c'est comme à la guerre Le plus fort des deux reste le dernier Et notre amour si beau finit pourtant si mal On le juge à huis clos dans un tribunal Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu on s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus...
Nous avons joué notre vie ensemble Et puis un beau jour la chance a tourné On ne finira pas la partie ensemble Et chacun s'en va seul de son côté Bravo tu as gagné Bravo tu as gagné
Il a gagné j'ai tout perdu on s'est aimé on n'aime plus Amour si bon pourtant si mal juge à huit clos...........

Lessons In Love (Pierde El Amor) Composer(s): M. King - W. Badarou - R. Gould Performer(s): Raphael
Dónde está nuestro amor No sé bien cual fue el error Y aunque duela la verdad Nunca tiene vuelta atrás Lifeboat lies lost at sea Ive been trying to reach your shore Waves of doubt keep drowning me All the dreams that we were building We never fulfilled them Could be better, should be better Lessons in love For restless eyes egos burn And the mold is hard to break Now we've waded in too deep But and love is overboard Tú por mí, yo por ti Intentando descubrir Qué lección se nos pasó All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better, should be better Lessons in love If we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it Lessons in love Lost without love Lessons in love Me duele la verdad Lessons in love Y busco una señal Lessons in love Me dices que te vas Lessons in love Y yo no sé olvidar
Bravo Monsieur Le Monde Dutch Title: Bravo Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain Originally performed by: Michel Fugain Covered by: Ann Christy
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Chapeau, Monsieur le monde Même quand les gens diront Que vous ne tournez pas toujours très rond
Bravo, pour vos montagnes C'est beau, c'est formidable Compliment pour vos saisons Qui nous donnent des idées de chansons
Bravo, la mer On n'a jamais trouvé un vert plus bleu Un bleu plus vert Aucune symphonie N'est riche d'autant d'harmonie Qu'un merveilleux tonnerre Qui fait l'amour avec la pluie
Bravo, le vent Qui fait ramper les blés Qui fait trembler les océans Bravo pour le soleil Et la colère du volcan Bravo pour l'arc-en-ciel Qui met de la joie dans le cur d'un enfant
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Chapeau, Monsieur le monde Nous vous demandons pardon Pour tous ceux qui vous abîmerons
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Bravo, pour la colombe Si vous lui laissez la vie Nous vous dirons simplement merci
