Life And Breath Composer(s): Sonny Geraci - Walter Nims Performer(s): Climax
"If you believe in dreams enough Then they'll believe in you" That's what she used to tell me So I know it must be true
So day after day I'm dreaming You'll come back to me 'Cause you are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you
I'll buy your favourite flowers From the lady down the street And hurry to the corner Where we always used to meet
And night after night I sit and watch the curtains falling You are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you
They say I should be forgetting you But how can I forget the moon and the stars Or the heavens of blue 'Cause they're all just a part of you
"If you believe in love enough Love will never die" That's what you used to tell me So I know it's not a lie
So time after time I come here and I wait for you I guess I'll always wait for you 'Cause you are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you Oh, you are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you Yeah, you are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you Yeah, you ...
Burning Down One Side Composer(s): Robbie Blunt; Robert Plant; Jezz Woodroffe Performer(s): Robert Plant
Slipped through the window by the back door Caught short in transit with my love Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance How could I fall without a shove Tip-toed like thunder on my feelings You rock me gently with your sighs My knees are weak - my head is reeling Consumed by the fire in your eyes Stepped in and shattered my defences Just playing hookey with my heart Slipped through the window by the back door And took the keys to my poor heart, yes my poor heart
Try as I might - try as I may Yes I'll try anything to make you stay Cause I need your love - yes I need your love I'm looking high - I'm looking low, Can't find where did my baby go Gotta find out why she ran away I don't know where did my baby stay Try as I might - try as I may Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour Shoot through the neon in the night Hot foot through alleys - check the doorways Try that old parking lot on Ninth There's three-course kissing in the same place But that don't help me out no more I've been away so long and dreaming Little girl ain't I seen you before
Lieve Heer, Heb Medelij Composer(s): Rocco Granata Performer(s): Willem Barth
Lalala...
Als twee mensen altijd wensen saam te zijn Heel hun leven liefde geven, zonneschijn Worden zij soms bang voor wat eens komen zou Dan hoor je hun smeken overal
Lieve heer, heb medelij Hou voor ons een plaatsje vrij Wij willen zo dolgraag altijd samen zijn Eenmaal klimmen wij omhoog Samen langs de regenboog Schrijft u nu vast op hoe onze namen zijn
Lieve heer, heb medelij Eenmaal is het hier voorbij Zet u niemand boven tussen haar en mij De tijd die gaat maar voort Eens wacht de hemelpoort Maak ons dan blij en hou een plaatsje vrij
Lalala...
Veel van waarheid op deze aarde raak je kwijt Je verdwijnt, er komt een einde, hoogste tijd Moederziel alleen maak je je laatste reis En dan zoek je naar een paradijs
Lieve heer, heb medelij Hou voor ons een plaatsje vrij Wij willen zo dolgraag altijd samen zijn Eenmaal klimmen wij omhoog Samen langs de regenboog Schrijft u nu vast op hoe onze namen zijn
Lieve heer, heb medelij Eenmaal is het hier voorbij Zet u niemand boven tussen haar en mij De tijd die gaat maar voort Eens wacht de hemelpoort Maak ons dan blij en hou een plaatsje vrij
Burning Bridges Composer(s): Mike Curb; Lalo Schifrin Originally performed by: Mike Curb Congregation
Friends all tried to warn me But I held my head up high All the time they warned me But I only passed them by They all tried to tell me But I guess I didn't care I turned my back and Left them standing there
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore
Joey tried to help me find a job A while ago When I finally got it I didn't want to go The party Mary gave for me When I just walked away Now there's nothing left for me to say
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore
Years have passed and I keep thinking What a fool I've been I look back into the past and Think of way back then I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win I guess I should have listened to my friends
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore
Lies (Through The 80's) Composer(s): David "Fathead" Newman Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band
We're all gonna live out the Hollywood dream Everything's gonna be just what it seems Gonna find a better way to run our cars All through the Eighties 'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars All through the Eighties The Video Screen will open up the door All through the Eighties Information - there'll be more and more All through the Eighties Will the man on the street finally know the score
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
The play's been written we'll all be in the cast All through the Eighties And our feet are gonna point away from the past All through the Eighties Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
Time will go and the years fly by All through the Eighties And we'll have another slice of American Pie All through the Eighties Credit card living, push button cash All through the Eighties We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash All through the Eighties And another generation will "Talk about their Generation"
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot) I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say ...
Burnin' Bush Composer(s): Jerry Peters Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire
What does it take to show an illustration Of the hurt and the pain of a nation One glowing look upon a ragged canvas Tells the story of our past and present situation
That old bush just keeps on burning Nobody seems to show they're learning That old bush just keeps on burning I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Our way of life on total exhibition Shows the way in which we live of an Imperfect nation This tree of life so far from perfeciton Share a little love to improve our situation
That old bush just keeps on burning Share the hope for future learning I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Flow of light could really stand a listen Bring the dark to the light, show us What we've been missing Not many men are satisfied Without no light, there ain't no pride
There's gonna come a time Things that are on your mind Trust and you will find Everything in your mind True love is here to find Simple as number 9 Multiply you will find Peace and love all the time
But I'm Not Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Don't you ever change your mind Don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not
If I take you to a dance Don't let me catch you holding hands With other boys They think I'm cruel Well I'm not You might think that I'm being cruel But I'm not
It's worth a little thought to think Of how I fought for you Even so you know I caught for you Every bad dream you had and threw them away There'll come a day When I know you will say All the things I said to you Were the best things too
So don't you ever change your mind And don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not, no no no no You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not
It's worth a little thought to think Of how I fought for you Even so you know I caught for you Every bad dream you had and threw them away There'll come a day When I know you will say All the things I said to you Were the best things too
So don't you ever change your mind And don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not, no no no no You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not

Burned Composer(s): Neil Young Originally performed by: Buffalo Springfield Covered by various other artists
Been burned and with both feet on the ground I've learned that it's painful comin' down No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down Crashed, and my ears can't hear a sound No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Burned and with both feet on the ground I've learned that it's painful comin' down No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Do I have to come right out and say it
(Neil Young): Do I have to come right out and say it Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? If it was a game I could play it Trying to make it but I'm losing time I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind
Chorus: Indecision is crowding me I have no room to spare And I can't believe she cared Like a dream she has taken me And now I don't know where And a part of me is scared The part of me I shared Once before Do I have to come right out and say it Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
Chorus Do I have to come right out and say it, girl Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? If it was a game I could play it Trying to make it but I'm losing time I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind Do I have to come right out and say it, girl Tell you that you look so fine?

Thine love is mine Thine heart with mine entwine, love My soul for thee doth pine Thine eye doth shine Thine life with mine combine, love Thou art my valentine Lips like apple wine Face like kalsomine (oh, fine) My clinging vine My voice for thee doth whine You're older than Auld Lang Syne
Twinkle, twinkle little star How you wonder who I am Way up in the sky, so low You're a better man than I am, oh, by Jove
The polar bear sleeps in his little bearskin He sleeps very well, I am told Last night I slept in my little bare skin And I got a heck of a cold
Pease Porridge hot Pease porridge cold Pease porridge in the pot Nine days old Peehew!

Liebe Wird Verboten Composer(s): Bernd Meinunger Performer(s): Peter Maffay
Die schöne neue Welt, die vor uns liegt so schön, daß man davon kalte Füße kriegt wird morgen Wirklichkeit, wenn wir nichts dagegen tun Die Pillen gibt es längst, die man nur schlucken muß fürs Glücksgefühl und gegen Überdruß Wir werden schon verplant und schauen auch noch ruhig zu
Liebe wird verboten denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat und Gefühle stören da nur In der Welt von morgen Klappt alles wunderbar ja, du wirst schon sehn morgen funktionierst dann auch du
Dann denkst du nur, du denkst, und in Wirklichkeit Denkt ein Programm für dich auf Lebenszeit.. Du kennst nicht mal den Knopf, an dem andre für dich drehn Die Kinder kommen aus Retorten raus sie sehn perfekt doch ziemlich ähnlich aus Auf denken steht der Tot und in Bücher Darf kein Mensch mehr sehn!
Liebe wird verboten denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat und Gefühle stören da nur In der Welt von morgen klappt alles wunderbar ja, du wirst schon sehn Morgen funktionierst dann auch du
Liebe wird verboten denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat und Gefühle stören da nur In der Welt von morgen Klappt alles wunderbar ja, du wirst schon sehn morgen funktionierst dann auch du
Die neue Welt wird Wirklichkeit Die Pläne liegen längst griffbereit Bis morgen ist es nicht nicht mehr weit Die schöne neue Welt beginnt schon heut
Burn My Candle (At Both Ends) Composer(s): Ross Parker Performer(s): Shirley Bassey
Who's got a match for a strikin' Don't say it all depends Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends
Who's got a light he's hidin', under a bush or fence Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends
It's possible, it may not last a night While it burns, what a wonderful light
Who'd like to play with fire After they make ammends Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends
Who doesn't mind a reaper, after he's sewn wild oats Who wants to take a chance and help me, burn my boats
Who's not a look, then leaper Wanting a warning note Who wants to take a chance and help me, burn my boats
There's 'S' for Scotch, that's so direct And for straight and simple sex "I" for invitation to, a close relationship with you "N" for nothing bad nor less "S-I-N", that's sin, I guess
Who's got a good ignition Waiting for dividends Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends
It may not last, but it's all in the game, my friend And while it burns, what a fabulous flame
Who has an inhibition Who has a notch, that's on the handle Open my door, and spun the scandal Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends!
Lie For A Lie Composer(s): Danny Peyronel - Nick Mason - Rick Fenn Performer(s): Nick Mason & Rick Fenn
A game's a game I hear you say Enough emotion in a day We'll never live enough to play I hear you say
You make the you make the moves Giving clues about the rules But there's no way to warn the fools They're only fools
Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth Nothing is hard to believe No one is hard to deceive Leave me a light in the dark Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth
So let the fire within me burn You know something I should learn But I don't know which way to turn Still I turn
Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth Nothing is hard to believe No one is hard to deceive Leave me a light in the dark Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth
And when the flame begins to go I'll be there inside the door You'll never know that I care more Than I can show
Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth Nothing is hard to believe No one is hard to deceive Leave me a light in the dark Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth
