Let The Children Speak ((aka Theme For Great Cities (instrumental) (by Simple Minds) - 1981))
Composer(s): Charlie Burchill - Jim Kerr - Derek Forbes - Mick McNeil - Brian McGee
Performer(s): Simple Minds - 1991



Time - way out of line 
A whole nation waits outside 
The rhythm of tomorrow 
They can dance away their sorrows tonight 
Lost - broken and scarred 
Prisoner waits outside with his lone heart beating 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 
Let the children - let the children speak 
Aims - dangerous games 
Their mother says one false move and we all get hurt 
I feel this sense of power I feel it every hour tonight 

Let's not get lazy tonight 
Things could get crazy cos 
One more kick and the door cracks open 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 

Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children 
Power to the powerless strength unto the weak 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 
I'm begging you now Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children 
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 

Let's not get lazy tonight 
Things could get crazy cos 
One last kick and the door cracks open 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 

Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 
Things could get crazy tonight 
Let's not get lazy cos 
One last kick and the door cracks open 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 
I'm begging you now 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children 
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 
The language of this world 
Let's not get lazy cos 
One false move and we all get hurt 
Let the children, let the children 
Let the children, let the children speak 

The language of this world 
Things could get crazy

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side, oh
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're on the streets
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness falls
And pain is all around

Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will easy your mind

Let The Boy Rock And Roll
Composer(s): John Sebastian
First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1966



I heard Mama and Papa talkin' last night
And I heard Mama say to Papa: Let that boy rock and roll

The neighbor not complainin' and the schoolboy talked twice today
You know they think you're foolish, study or slippin' away
He don't think about nothin' 'cept the rock and roll records that 
play
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
And he's gotta play music and you know we really can't say no

So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But Daddy, don't you call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy sing his song
In his brand new boots, he needs a foot from a kick in the town
If his music is groovy, you know he really can't go wrong

So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But please don't call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
If the music is groovy, you know we really can't say no

The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides
to wash me clean
Sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides

Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs
Cold wind blows
The Gods look down in anger
on this poor child
Cold wind blows
And Gods look down in anger
on this poor child
Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs

Well, there once was a boy from the town of Napoli
Who sang a song so very soft and tenderly
He met a little girl with a flower in her hair
So he sang a song and now they're such a happy pair

Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em send send their love
Yes to every girl and boy
Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em send send out their happy love (happy love)

Well, this boy and girl took a walk one day
Down to the sands near a moonlit bay
They talked and they talked till there was lovelight in their eyes
Then they kissed until the morning sun did rise

Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em send their love
Yes to every girl and boy
Oh, let those bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em let 'em ring out with happy love (happy love)

Well, I've just told you yes the story of my life
And that little girl, oh yes, she is my loving wife
And our little house where we now stay
Sits in the middle of our little moonlit bay

Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em send their love
Yes to every girl and boy
Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em let 'em ring out with happy love

Tell me that old love story
But not the same old lies
You know my heart is waiting for you dear
Here on the bridge of sighs

Tell me again you love me
And gaze into my eyes
I'm yours tonight, so why keep me waiting
Here on the bridge of sighs

How many times we pledged our love anew
When little quarrels came our way
I know the reason why I'm missing you
My love of happy yesterday

Tell me you're mine forever
Mine just to idolise
Take me away, stop breaking my heart dear
Here on the bridge of sighs

I know the reason why I'm missing you
My love of happy yesterday

Tell me you're mine forever
Mine just to idolise
Take me away, stop breaking my heart dear
Here on the bridge of sighs

Let That Be A Lesson To You
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong



Oh, Columbus was the discoverer of America
And he sailed the sea in 1492
But the good Queen Isabella 
Found a more attractive fella
And Columbus wound up in the junkeroo

Everybody meets his Waterloo
He wasn't too big to end up behind the eight ball
And remember buddy there's still lots of room for you

I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door
Remember the good times don't you want some more
It's not a perfect love but I'll defend it
'Cause I believe that's what God intended

We got love too good to throw away

It's not over don't want to be free

What has been joined by God by God
Let no man put asunder
Oh no don't throw it away
Don't throw it away

I can't hear those words spoken, understood
Making bonds through love, the times are better good
I'm convinced that what is meant to be will be
Even the stars declare that you belong to me

We got love too good to throw away

It's not over between you and me
It's not over don't want to be free

What has been joined by God by God
Let no man put asunder
Oh no don't throw it away

Brian's Song
Composer(s): Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman; Michel Legrand
Originally performed by: Michel Legrand
Covered by various other artists



If the hands of time 
Were hands that I could hold
I'd keep them warm and in my hands
They'd not turn cold

Hand in hand we'd choose 
The moments that should last
The lovely moments that should have
No future and no past

The summer from the top of a swing
The comfort in the sound of a lullaby
The innocence of leaves in the spring
But most of all the moment when love first touched me

All the happy days
Would never learn to fly
Until the hands of time would choose
To wave "Good-bye"

Let My Love Open The Door

Performer(s): Pete Townshend
and multiple other artists



When people keep repeating 
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating 
But you can't seem to get enough 

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door 
Let my love open the door
To your heart

When everything feels all over
Everybody seems unkind 
I'll give you a four-leaf clover 
Take all worry out of your mind

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door 
Let my love open the door
To your heart, to your heart

I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today you'll find this way 
Come on and give me a chance to say 

Let my love open the door
It's all I'm living for 
Release yourself from misery 
There's only one thing gonna set you free
That's my love
That's my love 

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door 
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

When tragedy befalls you 
don't let it drag you down 
Love can cure your problems
You're so luck I'm around 

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door 
Let my love open the door
To your heart

Brev Från Kolonien
Composer(s): Amilcare Ponchielli; Cornelis Vreeswijk
Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk



Hejsan morsan, hejsan stabben!
Här e brev från älsklingsgrabben
Vi har kul på kolonien
vi bor tjugoåtta gangstergrabbar i en
stor barack med massa sängar
Kan ni skicka mera pengar?
För det vore en god gärning
jag har spelat bort varenda dugg på tärning

Här e roligt vill jag lova
fastän lite svårt att sova
Killen som har sängen över mej
han vaknar inte han när han behöver, nej!

Jag har tappat två framtänder
för jag skulle gå på händer
när vi lattjade charader
så när morsan nu får se mej får hon spader

Uti skogen finns baciller
men min kompis han har piller
som han köpt utav en ful typ
och om man äter dom blir man en jättekul typ

Föreståndarn han har farit
han blir aldrig vad han varit
för polisen kom och tog hand
om honom förra veckan när vi lekte skogsbrand

Uti skogen finns det rådjur
i baracken finns det smådjur
och min bäste kompis Tage
han har en liten fickkniv inuti sin mage

Honom ska dom operera
Ja, nu vet jag inget mera
Kram och kyss och hjärtligt tack sen
men nu ska vi ut och bränna grannbaracken!

I'm dreaming of your sweet love tonight
So mama let it be

Let me take you home tonight

and various other artists



A novidade
Que tem no Brejo da Cruz
É a criançada 
Se alimentar de luz

Alucinados
Meninos ficando azuis
E desencarnando
Lá no Brejo da Cruz

Eletrizados
Cruzam os céus do Brasil
Na rodoviária
Assumem formas mil

Uns vendem fumo
Tem uns que viram Jesus
Muito sanfoneiro
Cego tocando blues

Uns têm saudade
E dançam maracatus
Uns atiram pedra
Outros passeiam nus

Mas há milhões desses seres
QUe se disfarçam tão bem
Que ninguém pergunta
De onde essa gente vem

São jardineiros
Guardas noturnos, casais
São passageiros
Bombeiros e babás

Já nem se lembram
Que existe um Brejo da Cruz
Que eram crianças
E que comiam luz

São faxineiros
Balançam nas construções
São bilheteiras
Baleiros e garçons

Já nem se lembram
Que existe um Brejo da Cruz
Que eram crianças
E que comiam luz

Let Me Sing And I'm Happy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Al Jolson 
and multiple other artists



What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
What care I who care for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing its popular songs

Let me sing a funny song
With crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing
I'm happy, so happy

Let me sing a sad refrain
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
And if my song can start you crying
I'm happy

Let me croon a low down blues
To lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy

Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
I'm happy, I'm happy

I don't want a seat on any big council
A ruler's power is not what I'm seeking for
Only let me feel that my songs appeal has reached your hearts
I'll not ask for anything more

Let me sing a funny song
With crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing
I'm happy, so happy

Let me sing a sad refrain
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
And if my song can start you crying
I'm happy

Let me croon a low down blues
To lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy

Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
I'm happy, I'm happy

Breezin' Along With The Breeze
Composer(s): Haven Gillespie; Seymour Simons; Richard Whiting
Originally performed by: Josephine Baker



I have been a rover since I was a child
No one to love or care for me
Knocked around all over, kinda grew up wild 
My home's wherever I may be
Ain't no someone yearnin', wonderin' where I be
I'm gone, but no one's missin' me
Ain't no light a-burnin' ev'ry night for me
I'm like a bird that's flyin' free

I'm just breezin' along with the breeze
Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas

Like the birdies that sing in the trees
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please

The sky is the only roof I have over my head
And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes my bed

I'm just goin' along as I please
Breezin' along with the breeze

And you feel like steppin' out
All you've got to shout is
Let me off uptown

If it's rhythm that you feel
Then it's nothing to conceal
Oh, you've got to spiel it
Let me off uptown

Rib joints, juke joints, hep joints
Where could a fella go to top it

If you want to pitch a ball
And you can't afford a hall
All you've got to call is
Let me off uptown

Roy: Anita, oh Anita, say I feel somethin'
Anita: Whatcha feel Roy? The heat?
Roy: No it must be that uptown rhythm
I feel like blowin'
Anita: Well blow Roy, blow

Go on, go on
Leave me breathless

Come on

The day light's fading slowly
The time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak

I cannot lie
From you I cannot hide
And I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it, can't fight it

So go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't denie this 
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on go on .. Yeah he
Come on

Heyeah

And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need 
Somehow it's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
I never want to wake up
Don't lose it, don't leave me

So go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't denie this 
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on go on .. Yeah he
Come on

And I can't lie..  from you I cannot hide
And I've lost my will to try
Can't hide it, can't fight it

So go on go on
Come on 
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't deny this loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss

Go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on, go on

Let Me Love You Once Before You Go

Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
and multiple other artists



It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique
Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy
Still I want your love so much that I could die
But I just can't lead a double life
Being one man's lover, one man's wife

But you can start a fire raging just by touching me
Even though I know we're not supposed to touch
Oh, I never wanted anyone so much
How I wish that I had found you first
Don't you see my heart's about to burst?

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me, so don't keep saying 'no'
Let me love you once, and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Let me lock the door and open all my love to you
All the love I've longed to give you since we met
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get
And I just can't let it disappear
Oh my darling, please come over here

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me so don't keep saying 'no'
Let me love you once, and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

No one's ever gonna love you more than me
