Let's Go Get Stoned Composer(s): Jo Armstead - Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson First recording by: Robert McCoy - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Let's go get stoned Let's go get stoned When your baby won't let you in Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin Just call your buddy on the telephone Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned Let's go get stoned When you work so hard all the day long And everything you do seems to go wrong Just drop by my place on your way home Let's go get stoned
It ain't no harm You're taking just a taste But don't blow your cool and start messing up the place It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip Let's go get stoned Let's go get stoned
Broken Dreams, Hard Road Composer(s): John Lodge Performer(s): John Lodge
I looked everywhere Thought that I would find you Thro' the night Shadows dancing in the moonlight Broken dreams Hard Road
Wish I could write of the love I have known In my lifetime Wish I could find just one word One small line When I'm down The world has gone and changed Its face The world has gone and changed Its place While we were dreaming For the Human Race I know I've Been down this road many times Many ways In my lifetime And Somehow the path that you've Walked In your life Has led to me
Your love has gone and changed My world Your love has changed the world I See While I was waiting You came to me
I looked everywhere Knew that I would find you Thro' the night Shadows dancing in the moonlight Broken dreams Hard road
Hard, hard road Hard road Hard, hard road (Repeat)

Aaaah! Ich kenne Herzen, die sind aus Stein Aaaah! Jedoch ich könnte nie herzlos sein Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben Es ist ein Wunder, wenn es geschieht Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben Und ist ein Wunder, wenn es geschieht Aaaah! In Deinen Augen, da war ein Glanz Aaaah! Das fühlt' ich schon beim ersten Tanz Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben Wer kann denn wissen, was morgen ist!? Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben Weil es ein Zaubertrank immer ist Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich Aaaah! Ein kleines Spielchen, ein netter Blick Aaaah! Ja, so begann schon oft das Glück Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich Aaaah! Und ist auch morgen mein Traum vorbei Aaaah! Es war ja nur eine Liebelei Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Und der Himmel ging auf! Und der Himmel ging auf für mich Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!? Denn der Himmel ging auf! Denn der Himmel ging auf für mich
One more illusion shattered One more broken dream Oh that the morning brings the sun Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again See how the tears roll down Like sweet summer rain Where does it leave me now I find myself so free again
Even the smallest traces Of your sweet perfume Open the flood gates and I'm helpless Now as the moonlight shadows Cast across my room Only the whispered words Are heard in the night Only a silent prayer 'I love you still I always will'
Out of the dark I stumbled Into the light Only my fear has tumbled I think I always knew That I would run to you
Somewhere there's children playing Somewhere far away Running with open arms to greet me Over the hill the sunset Dies and fades away I turn and I close the door With one last goodbye I will return no more I'll take my heart and let it fly
Let's Pretend There's A Moon Composer(s): Russ Columbo - Grace Hamilton - Jack Stern Performer(s): Russ Columbo and multiple other artists
Here you are, here am I No moon in view, no star on high But it's a lovely night to spoon Let's pretend that there's a moon!
Nights like this were made for love Regardless of the moon above The time and place are opportune Let's pretend that there's a moon!
Poets like to tell about the spell of moonlight bliss And they weave it into every rhyme We don't need no moon above to tell us when to kiss Why should we be wastin' time?
Here are we, here is love Who cares if there don't moon above? Let's make believe that this is the month of June Oh baby, let's pretend that there's a moon!
Yes! Ah-ha! Hah!
Who is you growlin' at woman? Oh you know, now now now baby, yes I know! Scrap the dark, but you've gotta pretend there's a moon! Yes yes yes! Yes yes!

Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Tu peux tout dire dans un sourire Tu peux tout faire dans un regard Tu dois lui tendre des pièges tendres Et sans attendre qu'il soit trop tard
Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Dis-toi qu'un homme n'est rien qu'un homme Que c'est un faible pas dangereux Mais qu'une femme c'est une femme Et qu'une femme sait ce qu'elle veut
Frappe, frappe, son cur Frappe, frappe, l'amour est là Frappe, frappe son cur Frappe, frappe et tu l'auras L'amour ne vient qu'une fois Aujourd'hui puisqu'il est à toi Frappe, frappe son cur Frappe, frappe et tu y entreras

Broken Blossoms Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald; A. Robert King
Often a page of a book turned o'er Brings back a vision of days of yore Only a rose leaf that lingers yet Touches a spot that we can't forget
Once in a while there's a fragrance rare Bringing a lingering vision fair Only a thought of a bygone love You have been longing and thinking of
Broken blossoms, maybe a violet blue Pansies purple, tenderest thoughts renew Lillies of white or rose red Bring back a mem'ry long since dead Broken blossoms in fancy they bloom again
Let's Go Fly A Kite Composer(s): Richard Sherman - Robert Sherman First release by: David Tomlinson & Dick Van Dyke - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
With a tuppence for paper and string You can have your own set of wings With your feet on the ground you're a bird in flight With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear Oh let's go fly a kite
When you send it flying up there All at once you're lighter than air You can dance with the breeze over houses and trees With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear Oh let's go fly a kite
Broken Arrow Composer(s): Robbie Robertson Originally performed by: Robbie Robertson Covered by: Rod Stewart
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There he goes moving across the water There he goes turning my whole world around
Do you feel what I feel Can we make it so that's part of the deal I gotta hold you in these arms of steel Lay your heart on the line this time
I wanna breathe when you breathe When you whisper like that hot summer breeze Count the beads of sweat that cover me Didn't you show me a sign this time
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There he goes moving across the water There he goes turning my whole world around, around
Do you feel what I feel Do you feel what I feel Ah can you see what I see Can you cut behind the mystery I will meet you by the witness tree Leave the whole world behind
I want to come when you call I'll get to you if I have to crawl They can't hold me with these iron walls We got mountains to climb, to climb
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain There he goes moving across the water There he goes turning my whole world around turning my whole world around turning my whole world around turning my whole world around
Let's Mend What's Been Broken Composer(s): Gene McFadden - Jerry Cohen - John Whitehead Performer(s): Gloria Gaynor
We started out with a new love And we thought we had more control And as it turned to an old love Bad times started to unfold
Now I don't want to let you go And I don't want it to ever end So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken Let's put it back together again Ooh, we've got to
Let's mend what's been broken You and me, me and you Let's mend what's been broken Ooh, yeah
Now I'm not ready for new love 'Cause you make my life so complete And if there's any problem I know we won't suffer deeply
'Cause I don't want to let you go I don't want it to ever end So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken Let's put it back together again Uh - huh, we've got to
Let's mend what's been broken Me and you, you and me Let's mend what's been broken Ooh, yeah
Don't throw it all away Let's keep this love in every way Mend my heart, my achin' heart The thought of a brand new start tears me all apart
The love we've got, don't let it end We can put it back together again {And let's do it} {Let's do it}
Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it} Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}
{Let's do it} {Let's do it} {Let's do it} {Let's do it} {Let's do it} {Let's get to it}
Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it} You and me Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it} I know our love has got to be
Let's Go Crazy Composer(s): Prince First release by: Prince and The Revolution - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Dearly beloved We are gathered here today 2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life It means forever and that's a mighty long time But I'm here 2 tell u There's something else The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness U can always see the sun, day or night
So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright Instead of asking him how much of your time is left Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cuz in this life Things are much harder than in the afterworld In this life You're on your own
And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down Go crazy - punch a higher floor
If u don't like the world you're living in Take a look around u At least u got friends
U see I called my old lady 4 a friendly word She picked up the phone Dropped it on the floor (Sex, sex) is all I heard
Are we gonna let de-elevator Bring us down Oh, no Let's Go!
Let's go crazy Let's get nuts Let's look 4 the purple banana 'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
We're all excited But we don't know why Maybe it's cuz We're all gonna die
And when we do (When we do) What's it all 4 (What's it all 4) U better live now Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy Let's get nuts Look 4 the purple banana 'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
C'mon baby Let's get nuts Yeah Crazy
Let's go crazy
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down Oh, no let's go! Go crazy
I said let's go crazy (Go crazy) Let's go, let's go Go Let's go
Dr. Everything'll be alright Will make everything go wrong Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill Hang tough children
Broken Composer(s): Burton Cummings; Kurt Winter Performer(s): The Guess Who
Take the spell away and turn me back into a man An' give me credit, ya know I'm doin' all I can Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too Yes, I've been broken too Just like you
So bring your soul to me and leave it here for just a while Show the end to me and see if I can fake a smile Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too Yes, I've been broken too Just like you
I don't have to fear, nobody else is here Don't have to see, I know what I wanna be Don't have to make an explanation to you
It's true, the deeper the drillin' goes Shows how much the best of the better knows That's why the bird with the broken wing never flew
And I've been broken too Just like you
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too Yes, I've been broken too Just like you

C'mon now! (Let's lock the door and throw away the key now) (shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom) (I can't wait to kiss you) Oh, no! (One little minute more)

C'mon now! (Let's lock the door and throw away the key now) (shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom) (I can't wait to kiss you) Oh, no! (One little minute more)
Lets Give Love A Chance Composer(s): Carl Sigman - George W. Meyer - Marty Symes Performer(s): Art Lund; Benny Goodman
Lets give love a chance Lets not rush to break up There is always time to say were through I dont think were giving love a chance, do you? Lets give love a chance Theres so much to take up Darling, with our hearts against the wall I dont think were giving love a chance at all
We can just merely hold something dearly Then let it go so casually I think sincerely, if we think clearly Well never set each other free
So lets save our romance While we still can save it While the music plays, why stop a dance Darling lets be fair And lets give love a chance
Brokedown Palace Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead and various other artists
Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone
Going to leave this brokedown palace On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll Make myself a bed in the waterside In my time, I will roll, roll roll
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home
Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
Going to plant a weeping willow On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow Sing a lullaby beside the water Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
