Life Begins At The Hop
Composer(s): Colin Moulding
Performer(s): XTC



I have learnt there's a magical spot at the hop
Come with me to the church on the corner, the hop
There's nuts and crisps and ccc cola on tap
A good time had by the boys and girls at the hop

Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say

Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

Prepare yourself for the boys in the band at the hop
The cheap guitars, too young for the bars at the hop
We'll jive around, make fools of ourselves then stop
Back next week with another ridiculous tie knot

Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say

Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

Burning Heart
Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frankie Sullivan
Performer(s): Survivor



Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone
CHORUS
In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire
In the burning heart

In the warriors code
There's no surrender
Though his body says stop
His spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul
A quiet ember
Know it's you against you
It's the paradox
That drives us on
It's a battle of wills
In the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone

Chorus (3x)

In the burning heart

Life Begins At Forty
Composer(s): Jack Yellen - Ted Shapiro
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker



I've often heard it said and sung 
That life is sweetest when you're young
And kids, sixteen to twenty-one 
Think they're having all the fun
I disagree, I say it isn't so 
And I'm one gal who ought to know
I started young and I'm still going strong
But I've learned as I've gone along.......

That life begins at forty
That's when love and living start to become a gentle art
A woman who's been careful finds that's when she's in her prime
And a good man when he's forty knows just how to take his time

Conservative or sporty, it's not until you're forty
That you learn the how and why and the what and when
In the twenties and the thirties you want your love in large amounts
But after you reach forty, it's the quality that counts

Yes, life begins at forty
And I've just begun to live all over again

You see the sweetest things in life grow sweeter as the years roll on
Like the music from a violin that has been well played upon
And the sweetest smoke is from a mellow, broken and old pipe
And the sweetest tasting peach is one that's mature, round and ripe

In the twenties and the thirties you're just an amateur
But after you reach forty, that's when you become a connoisseur
Then it isn't grab and get it and a straight line for the door
You're not hasty, you're tasty, you enjoy things so much more

For instance, a novice gulps his brandy down, he doesn't understand
Observe a connoisseur, the way he holds it in his hand
How he strokes the glass, fondles it, warms it as he should
Smaks his lips, aahhh, slowly sips, hah, boy, it tastes good

Life begins at forty
Then it isn't hit and run and you find much more fun
You romance a girl of twenty and it costs you all your dough
But when a forty thanks you, she hates to see you go

And girls of twenty, all they want are big men
Big men with strong physiques
I don't say that it's bad
But you do get tired of those damn Greeks

Life begins at forty
And I'm just living all over again

Burning Down The House
Composer(s): David Byrne; Chris Frantz;
Jerry Harrison; Tina Weymouth
Performer(s): Talking Heads
and various other artists



Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight, wait till the party's over
Hold tight, We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work  baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

My house, S'out of the ordinary
That's might, Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

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

Lalala ...

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

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

Lies
Composer(s): Thomas Alexander Bailey - Alannah Joy Curry - Joseph Martin Leeway
First release by: Thompson Twins - 1982



You told me you loved me
So I don't understand
Why promises are snapped in two
And words are made to bend

(The bigger, the better)
Some stolen from japan
Collected from around the world
They'll catch you if they can

Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah

Do I have to catch you out
To know what's on your mind
Well, Cleopatra died for Egypt
What a waste of time

White ones and red ones
And some you can't disguise
Twisted truth and half the news
Can't hide it in your eyes

Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah

You say you'll try harder
But I think it's just too late
Well, the car is revving in the drive
And i'm not the sort to wait

The bigger, the better
Some nicked from old saigon
Collected from around the world
Love lies on and an and on and on and on and

Lies lies lies yeah (They're gonna get you)
Lies lies lies yeah (They won't forget you)
Lies lies lies yeah (They're gonna get you)
Lies lies lies yeah
Oh you know I know

Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah

Oh you know I know

Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah

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?

Liefde is dit het dan

Wel het mooiste in je leven
Heel zeker voor haar wat moet ik
met woorden - het baat mij niet

Liefde is dit het dan
voor d'ene eindloos geluk
voor d'andre ellende

Lied Voor Een Kind Dat Bang Is In Het Donker
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Lennaert H. Nijgh
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Binnen lig ik in m'n bed 
Met gedachten aan daarbuiten 
Waar kabouters vrolijk fluiten 
Want die hebben altijd pret 

Binnen in m'n warme hol 
Hoor ik m'n gedachten lopen 
Die tevoorschijn zijn gekropen 
En ik voel me boordevol 

Vol verwarring en plezier 
Om de kou en ach, daar buiten 
Klamme handjes op de ruiten 
Van het een of and're dier 

Vast een soort van chimpansee 
Zal ik hem eens binnen laten 
Nee, in God'snaam, laat maar praten 
'k Zit genoeg in de puree 

Lekker is het hier in bed 
'k Heb m'n allermooiste dromen 
Nu vanavond laten komen 
En de wekker afgezet 

Maar des nachts om twaalf uur 
Komt een kerel van de zolder 
Met een grote zak vol kolder 
En een fles vol apezuur 

Daarvan ben ik toch wel bang 
Maar gelukkig gaan m'n kleren 
Dan elkaar weer mores leren 
En ze rennen door de gang 

En ik hoor de hoge hoed 
Op de kapstok zonder klagen 
Want alleen om hem te plagen 
Doen ze hem vol suikergoed 

Maar ik voel me wat alleen 
En een meisje komt me kussen 
Wel wat lastig ondertussen 
Al die vlinders om me heen 

Maar nu heb ik dan m'n schat 
Lekker in m'n warme bedje 
Lekker dier, vooruit, wat let je 
Heb je al een zoen gehad 

Leiden is nog steeds een last 
Maar dat kan me niet veel schelen 
Want de maan, die ronde gele 
Houdt de hemel toch wel vast 

Maar helaas, de goeie fles 
Waaruit ik m'n zoete dromen 
Glanzend in m'n glas zag stromen 
Is nu leeg, een harde les 

En die fles is tot mijn spijt 
Middelpunt van heel m'n leven 
Met de wekker op half zeven 
Zak ik door een eeuwigheid 

O, het leven is een last 
Met het werk van zeven weken 
Onberoerd en onbekeken 
Doelloos liggend in de kast 

O, wat heb ik reuze spijt 
Niets dan tranen is het leven 
En ik zucht met Van 't Reve 
"'t Is weer niks als narigheid" 

Narrig snurkend in m'n slaap 
Lig ik hier tot kwart voor achten 
Op de dageraad te wachten 
Morgen sta ik weer voor aap

Keep that candle burnin' birght, mother
I'll be kinda late tonight, mother
There's a yellow moon above, mother
Shinin' on the one I love, mother

Burn that candle, light my way
Keep that doorway open wide
Till I'm strollin' thru that doorway with my bride

While that candle's burnin' high, mother
I'll be with my sugar pie, mother
We'll be comin home you know, mother
Lookin for that candle glow, mother

After we have had the wedding, mother
To the candle we'll be headin, mother
So, before we're winin', dinin', mother
Start that candle light a shinin', mother

Liebestraum
Composer(s): Franz Liszt - Spike Jones
Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers



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!
