    Brothers In Arms
    Italian Title: Fratelli Di Guerra
    Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
    Originally performed by: Dire Straits



    These mist covered mountains
    Are a home now for me
    But my home is the lowlands
    And always will be
    Some day you'll return to
    Your valleys and your farms
    And you'll no longer burn
    To be brothers in arm

    Through these fields of destruction
    Baptism of fire
    I've watched all your suffering
    As the battles raged higher
    And though they did hurt me so bad
    In the fear and alarm
    You did not desert me
    My brothers in arms

    There's so many different worlds
    So many different suns
    And we have just one world
    But we live in different ones

    Now the sun's gone to hell
    And the moon's riding high
    Let me bid you farewell
    Every man has to die
    But it's written in the starlight
    And every line on your palm
    We're fools to make war
    On our brothers in arms

    Let's Turn Out The Lights
    ((French & Spanish Versions: Éteins La Lumière (Charles Aznavour); Apaga La Luz (Charles Aznavour))
    Composer(s): Joel Hirschhorn - Al Kasha
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    Turn out the lights, we don't have to see
    Let the darkness watch, over you and me
    We don't need a light, just the flame within
    It burns for us now, right beneath the skin

    Turn out the lights, the darkness is our friend
    It helps when we dream, and when we pretend
    My finger will trace, every wwinding curve
    Follow every line, every pulsing nerve

    No one's in the street, no one walks the hall
    We can watch our shadows moving on the wall
    In tender silence, with the curtains drawn
    We can keep on making love until the dawn

    Turn out the lights
    (Turn out the lights)
    Talk without sound
    Won't you stay all night
    (All night)
    Spin the world around
    (Spin the world around)
    My river is dry, fill it with your touch
    Let's turn out the light, I want you so much

    (Let's turn out the lights)
    No one's in the street, no one walks the hall
    We can watch our shadows moving on the wall
    In tender silence, with the curtains drawn
    We can keep on making love until the dawn

    Turn out the lights
    (Turn out the lights)
    Oh, talk without sound
    Won't you stay all night
    (Stay all night)
    Spin the world around
    (Spin the world around)
    My river is dry, fill it with your touch
    Let's turn out the lights, I want you so much

    Ah, oh, aah, mmm, oooh, ah, ah, ah ah ah, oh, oh, mmm, oh, oh

    Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?
    Composer(s): Edgar "Yip" Harburg; Jay Gorney
    Performer(s): Bing Crosby



    They used to tell me I was building a dream
    And so I followed the mob
    When their was earth to plow or guns to bear
    I was always their right on the job

    They used to tell me I was building a dream
    With peace and glory ahead
    Why should I be standing in line
    Just waiting for bread?

    Once I built a railroad, I made it run
    Made it race against time
    Once I built a railroad, now it's done
    Brother, can you spare a dime?

    Once I built a tower up to the sun
    Brick and rivet and lime
    Once I built a tower, now it's done
    Brother, can you spare a dime?

    Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
    Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
    Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
    And I was the kid with the drum

    Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
    It was "Al" all the time
    Why don't you remember, I'm your pal
    Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

    Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell
    Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
    Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
    And I was the kid with the drum

    Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
    It was "Al" all the time
    Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
    Buddy, can you spare a dime?

    Apaga La Luz
    ((English & French Versions: Let's Turn Out The Lights (Charles Aznavour); Éteins La Lumière (Charles Aznavour))
    Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    Apaga la luz
    jazmín y clavel
    mis brazos en cruz
    sueñan con tu piel
    detén el reloj
    ven cerca de mí
    solos tú y yo
    es mejor así

    Apaga la luz
    y en la oscuridad
    de tu juventud
    dáme la verdad
    yo sé que París
    duerme sin temor
    mientras vis a vis
    arde nuestro amor
    tu mirar de raza
    me iluminará
    y un herén la casa
    nos parecerá
    y con ciego anhelo
    yo te buscaré
    y en tu negro pelo
    me reclinaré

    Apaga la luz
    yo te haré saber
    en esta quietud
    todo mi querer
    y con frenesí
    loco de emoción
    voy hacer de ti
    mi mejor canción

    Apaga la luz
    es mas prudencial
    que la noche azul
    fuera del cristal
    se llegue a morir
    de curiosidad
    por no descubrir
    nuestra soledad

    Apaga la luz
    sin vacilación
    y sin inquietud
    a mi corazón
    yo me he de sentir
    lleno de ansiedad
    tu sangre latir
    de felicidad
    si de madrugada
    tiemblas de pavor
    yo me ire al lado
    te daré valor
    y la sed ardiente
    de mi gran amor
    calmaré la fuente
    de tu boca en flor

    Apaga la luz
    jazmín y clavel
    mis brazos en cruz
    sueñan con tu piel
    apaga la luz
    sal de juventud

    Apaga la luz
    solos yo y tú
    apaga la luz
    solos yo y tú
    apaga la luz
    solos yo y tú
    apaga la luz

    Brother Where You Bound
    Composer(s): Rick Davies
    Performer(s): Supertramp



    There's a red cloud hanging over us
    And it's so big and it's gonna burst
    All you people with your heads in the ground
    Hey brother, where you bound?

    And they're no good and they're everywhere
    Try to tell you, but you just don't care
    Try to hear you but you don't make a sound
    Hey brother, where you bound?
    Hey brother, where you bound?

    And you don't know what they're gonna do
    And you don't know how they feel
    And you don't know what they're tellin' you
    Is it a lie or is it real
    And the next thing that you know is
    That they walk out on the deal

    And the message that they're giving you
    Is the same old alibi
    If you don't quite see their point of view
    Then they treat you like a spy
    And the phone rings and you disappear
    In the middle of the night

    Can't you see they're on the move
    Don't know what you're trying to prove
    But you sit there oh so cool
    Like they never broke no rules

    And the cat flies and the crow walks
    And the ghost dies and the sow talks
    And they tell us that they'll be good as gold
    B'lieve nothing that you're told
    Hey brother, where's your soul?

    Make a move in one direction
    Try to make some compromise
    But they greet you with rejection
    Makin' out you're tellin' lies
    Then they turn around and tell you
    Better get down from the sky

    For the sake of all that's holy
    Listen good to what I say
    I can feel them all around me
    They could be here any day
    But you act like you don't know me
    Why d' you look at me that way

    If there's one thing that is clear
    We gotta get away from here
    We've gotta leave this place
    It's just a hopeless case
    Ain't no one else to blame
    We're gonna lose this game

    Hey brother get off my back
    I gotta tell you, you're way off the track
    They got a hatred deep down inside
    Ain't gonna let them take me alive
    I'm gonna burn them down, just wait and see
    Ain't gonna let them walk over me
    Boy you ain't got no heart and soul
    And your mind is weak and your blood's runnin' cold

    You better move, you better hide
    They're gettin' in, they're gettin' inside
    If you get caught you better know
    They're gonna reap, you're gonna sow
    Don't be a fool, we gotta go
    Ain't no place safe for us to stay
    We better move on, we better move on

    Let's Think About Living
    Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
    Performer(s): Bob Luman
    and multiple other artists



    In every other song that I've heard lately
    Some fellow gets shot
    And his baby and his best friend both die with him
    As likely as not
    In half of the other songs
    Some Cat's crying, or ready to die
    We've lost most all of our happy people
    And I'm wondering why

    Let's think about living
    Let's think about loving
    Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin
    And the boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin'
    Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
    And the shootin' and the dying
    And the fellow with the switchblade knife
    Let's think about living
    Let's think about life

    We lost old Marty Robbins
    Down in old El Paso a little while back
    And now Miss Patti Page, or one of them
    Is a-wearing black
    Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil
    Where they feel like a-they could die
    If we keep on a-losin' our singers like that
    I'll be the only one you can buy

    Let's think about living
    Let's think about loving
    Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin
    And the boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin'
    Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
    And the shootin' and the dying
    And the fellow with the switchblade knife
    Let's think about living

    Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
    Composer(s): Neil Diamond
    Originally performed by: Neil Diamond
    Covered by various other artists



    Hot August night
    And the leaves hanging down
    And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
    Move up the road
    To the outside of town
    And the sound of that good gospel beat
    Sits a ragged tent
    Where there ain't no trees
    And that gospel group
    Telling you and me

    It's Love
    Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
    Pack up the babies
    Grab the old ladies
    Everyone goes
    Everyone knows
    Brother Love's show

    Room gets suddenly still
    And when you'd almost bet
    You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
    Eyes black as coal
    And when he lifts his face
    Every ear in the place is on him

    Starting soft and slow
    Like a small earthquake
    And when he lets go
    Half the valley shakes

    It's Love, Love
    Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
    Pack up the babies
    Grab the old ladies
    Everyone goes
    Everyone knows
    Brother Love's show

    Sermon

    Take my hand in yours
    Walk with me this day
    In my heart, I know
    I will never stray
    Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle

    It's Love, Love
    Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
    Pack up the babies
    Grab the old ladies
    Everyone goes
    Everyone knows
    Brother Love's show
    Amen

    Let's Talk It Over
    Composer(s): Ian MacMillan
    Performer(s): Blue



    As I sit here in my loneliness
    Waiting for a friend to come, come to me
    I remember days of happiness
    And the way it used to be

    All the emptiness you left behind
    And the lonely tears I've cried, tried to hide
    When you know I'm only trying to find
    What I thought I had inside

    Don't say it's over
    Don't let it go
    Let's talk it over
    There's something I don't know

    But now I realise I lost a friend
    I should have known when it went wrong long ago
    I just find it hard to understand
    The way you let me know

    Don't say it's over
    Don't let it go
    Let's talk it over
    There's something I don't know
    Don't say it's over
    Don't let it go
    Let's talk it over
    There's something you should know

    Composer(s): Erroll Brown; Anthony Wilson
    Originally performed by: Hot Chocolate
    Covered by various other artists



    She was black as the night
    Louie was whiter than white
    Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
    Louie fell in love overnight
    Nothing bad, it was good
    Louie had the best girl he could
    When she took him home
    To meet her mama and papa
    Louie knew just where he stood
    Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie Louie
    Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie you're gonna cry
    There he stood in the night
    Knowing what's wrong from what's right
    He took her home to meet his mama and papa
    Man, he had a terrible fright
    Louie nearly caused a scene
    Wishin' it was a dream
    Ain't no diff'rence between black and white
    Brothers, you know what I mean
    Louie Louie Louie

    Every single moment I’m alone
    Feeling sad and blue
    Only wanna grab the telephone
    Call you up and make a date, at home, alone, with you

    So turn the lights down low
    Let’s watch a tv show
    Cuddle up and whaddaya know

    Brother Heart
    Composer(s): Gary Kemp
    Performer(s): Gary Kemp



    When the colours of life seep out of your day
    and the truth that was standing is now crumbling away
    when the question is why does it spread like disease?
    And your rivers run dry, but you’re sunk to your knees

    When the sun brings the priest running over the fields
    and you’re sick to your soul of the lies and the deals
    When the moon brings the bleeding of a town in its fate
    and there’s no room for dreaming in the shelter of faith
    Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart

    When the lines of partition slash a scar through your breed
    and the mouths of agreement are all muted by greed
    When the lie of the land rolls into your night
    look into your soul and look for the light
    Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart

    Fly the wings of hope, take the branch to the dove
    change the story line, find the truth up above
    but when God seems to sleep and misses your life
    and your prayers fall to earth like shells in the night
    let your broken heart weep and bleed for what’s right
    look into your soul and look for the light
    Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart
    Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart

    Let's Take The Long Way Home
    Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer
    Performer(s): Bing Crosby
    and multiple other artists



    Let’s take the long way home
    Let’s look for the long way home
    And on the way, let’s pretend
    That this wonderful night won’t end
    Through Asia would be much too soon
    We’ll circle once around the moon
    Our dream boat will carry us across the foam

    We’ll take the long way, make sure it’s the wrong way
    Let’s take the long was home
    Shall we fly through the night
    Shall we dream as we go?
    See the star on your right
    See the farm down below?
    The whole trip it appears
    Only takes a million years
    If you’re in the mood to roam
    Then let’s take the long way home

    Brother
    Composer(s): Rosalie Van Leer; Thijs Van Leer
    Performer(s): Focus



    I've never been unhappy or alone
    Each day daylight came back

    I always watched the stars
    Not thinking space big and dark

    Rains always were my friend
    The wind knew all my secrets

    Brother do you know that the times are hard
    Do you wanna see my eyes
    Make a start
    'Cause brother do you see that the times are hard
    I need love

    I do not fear the shadows of trees
    But city shadows don't move

    I saw a child of God. He was
    Someday to grow into the world

    Brother do you know that the times are hard
    Do you wanna see my eyes
    Make a start
    'Cause brother do you see that the times are hard
    I need love

    Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk
    Composer(s): Irving Berlin
    Performer(s): Eddie Albert & Allyn McLerie
    and multiple other artists



    Some couples go for a buggy ride when they start caring a lot
    Others will bicycle side by side out to some romantic spot
    But when you haven't a sou, there's only one thing to do....

    Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk
    What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk
    Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark
    And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old fashioned walk

    I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
    There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart
    I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind
    She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk

    I used to dream of a millionaire, handsome and rich from the States
    Taking me out for a breath of air, saying, "The carriage awaits"
    But since you haven't a sou and I have nothing to do....

    Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk
    What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk
    Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark
    And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old fashioned walk

    I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
    There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart
    I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind
    She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk

    Let's Have A Georgia Honeymoon
    Composer(s): Carter Benson - Bobby Lee



    When I hear those wedding chimes
    It makes me think of happy times
    Let me take you, glad they'll make you
    Way down in Savannah town
    Honey pack your trunk and things
    Let's go price some diamond rings
    Just received the word today
    Listen what the home folk says

    Dear, the roses are a bloom
    I can smell their sweet perfume
    Birds are singing, bells are ringing
    Here's the message that they bring
    Love me honey, love me long
    Life with you is like a song
    Let me rest up on your breast down in
    Dixie Loving nest

    Come down, why don't you
    Come down
    Why don't you
    Come on down to old Savannah
    Be there, oh honey see there old Aunt Mandy in her red bandanna
    When the preacher joins you hand in hand
    They're going to serenade you with a big brass band
    Come down, why don't you come down
    Let's have a Georgia Honeymoon

    Brooklyn Roads
    Composer(s): Neil Diamond
    Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Jane Olivor



    If I close my eyes
    I can almost hear my mother
    Callin', "Neil, go find your brother
    Daddy's home, and it's time for supper
    Hurry on"

    And I see two boys
    Racin' up two flights of staircase
    Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
    And his whiskers warm on their face
    Where's it gone
    Oh, where's it gone

    Two floors above the butcher
    First door on the right
    Life filled to the brim
    As I stood by my window
    And I looked out of those
    Brooklyn roads

    I can still recall
    The smells of cookin' in the hallways
    Rubbers drying in the doorways
    And report cards I was always
    Afraid to show

    Mama'd come to school
    And as I'd sit there softly crying
    Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying
    He's got a good head if he'd apply it"
    But you know yourself
    It's always somewhere else

    I built me a castle
    With dragons and kings
    And I'd ride off with them
    As I stood by my window
    And looked out on those
    Brooklyn roads

    Thought of going back
    But all I'd see are stranger's faces
    And all the scars that love erases
    But as my mind walks through thoses places
    I'm wonderin'
    What's come of them

    Does some other young boy
    Come home to my room
    Does he dream what I did
    As he stands by my window
    And looks out on those
    Brooklyn roads

    Let's Take A Walk Around The Block
    Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Ira Gerswin - E.Y. Harburg
    First performance/First recording by: Dixie Dunbar & Earl Oxford - 1934/Richard Himber & His Orch. - 1934
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I never traveled further North
    Than old Van Courtland Park
    And never further South than the aquarium
    I've seen the charm of Jersey City
    But first let me remark
    I saw it from the empire state solarium

    But we've been putting nickels
    In the postal savings bank
    And when those nickels pile up
    We can toddle off in swank
    And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
    I mean a cabin de-luxe tour

    Someday we'll go places
    New lands and new faces
    The day we quit punching the clock
    The future looks pleasant
    But at present
    Let's take a walk around the block

    You're just the companion
    I want at Grand Canyon
    for throwing old blades down the rock
    The money we have`ll go for travel
    Meantime, let's walk around the block

    Gangway, we'll begin
    When our, ship comes in
    I'll sit on your lap
    All over the map

    To London in May time
    To Venice in play time
    To Paris in time for a frock
    To Boston in bean time
    Darling, meantime
    Let's take a walk around the block

    In Winter at Christmas
    We'll visit the isthmus
    And see how they lock up a lock
    And then in Caracas, on a jackass
    We'll take a ride around the block

    We'll keep to our promise
    To visit St. Thomas
    And then at Jamaica we'll dock
    The prospect is thrilling
    Still I am willing
    Just now to walk around the block

    Onward, to Cathay
    Then to Mandalay
    Boom on to Bangkok
    Perhaps Vladivostok

    We'll send the folks cables
    Accumulate labels
    Buy souvenirs till we're in hock
    But since we are flat in old Manhattan
    Let's take a walk around the block
