    The Language Of Love
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; R.J. Wagsmith



    She says no
    When she means yes
    And what she wants, you know that I can't guess
    When we want more, you know we ask for less
    Such is the language of love...

    I say leave
    When I mean stay
    But she don't see and so she moves away
    What we really want, you know we rarely say
    Such is the language of love

    It's tooth for tooth & eye for eye
    We hide our hearts & then we won't say why
    It's truth for truth & lie for lie
    Such is the language of love

    One cries foul
    And will not speak
    The other claims a little victory
    And all the time
    You know we fail to see
    This is the language of love

    When a love begins to wander
    No one ever knows
    But we feel it deep inside us
    Long before it shows
    Long before it shows

    We hem & haw
    We balk & bluff
    Our words don't ever seem to say enough
    But a simple smile
    A tender touch
    Speaks the true language of love

    She says no
    When she means yes
    And what she wants, you know that I can't guess
    When we want more, you know we ask for less
    Such is the language of love...
    Such is the language of love...

    Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett and multiple other artists



    I took off for a weekend last month
    Just to try and recall the whole year
    All of the faces and all of the places
    Wonderin' where they all disappeared
    I didn't ponder the question too long
    I was hungry and went out for a bite
    Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum and we wound up drinkin' all night

    It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    With all of our running and all of our cunning
    If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

    Reading departure signs in some big airport reminds me of the places I've been
    Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure makes me want to go back again
    If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall
    Good times and riches and son of a bitches I've seen more than I can recall

    These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
    If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

    I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine I wish I could jump on a plane
    So many nights I just dream of the ocean God I wish I was sailin' again
    Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder so I can't look back for too long
    There's just too much to see waiting in front of me and I know that I just can't go wrong

    With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    With all of my running and all of my cunning
    If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
    If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
    If we weren't all crazy we would go insane

    From Levi's To Calvin Klein Jeans
    Composer(s): R.D. Runyeon; R. Lathrop
    Performer(s): Brenda Lee



    From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
    From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
    From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
    Tell me is it as far as it seems
    From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans

    The life that your living don't fit cowboy boots
    But you fit fight in with your new Gucci shoes
    Your wearing gold plated glasses and solid gold chains
    I doubt if the country will see you again

    From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
    From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
    From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
    Tell me is it as far as it seems
    From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans

    The tan on your face has turned cally white
    Riding those bar stools don't let in sun light
    I can tell by the look that I see in your eyes
    You yearn for the country and wide open skies

    From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
    From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
    From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
    Tell me is it as far as it seems
    From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans
    From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans

    Land Of Milk And Honey
    Composer(s): John Hurley - Ronnie Wilkins
    Performer(s): The Vogues



    Yes it's true for most of my life I spoke devil
    And I did my best to dodge anything that looked at all like work
    I was prone to standing on corners smokin' cigarettes
    and talkin' about anything I didn't know
    Oh, how I needed to go

    Please take me to the land of milk and honey
    To the land of love and sunshine
    To the land of milk and honey, Please take me

    Time passed and I got a little older
    Takin' on trouble just a little bit harder and a little bit bolder
    I was thinkin' colder, fightin', lyin', cheatin' & cryin', I gave up
    Givin'-up the voices of evil that were pullin' me down
    You know, I was givin' up ground

    Please take me to the land of milk and honey
    To the land of love and sunshine
    To the land of milk and honey, Please take me

    Then it came and it sounded like thunder
    Shot of light in the dark of the night and you were really there
    Tellin' me that you care, your warm love took away the cold
    And were you walked the cobblestones turned to gold
    And when you touch my hair you know take me there

    Please take me to the land of milk and honey
    To the land of love and sunshine
    To the land of milk and honey
    Please take me

    Changes Composer(s): David Bowie First release by: David Bowie - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists



    I still don't know what I was waiting for
    And my time was running wild
    A million dead-end streets
    Every time I thought I'd got it made
    It seemed the taste was not so sweet
    So I turned myself to face me
    But I've never caught a glimpse
    Of how the others must see the faker
    I'm much too fast to take that test

    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the stranger)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Don't want to be a richer man
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the stranger)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Just gonna have to be a different man
    Time may change me
    But I can't trace time

    I watch the ripples change their size
    But never leave the stream
    Of warm impermanence and
    So the days float through my eyes
    But still the days seem the same
    And these children that you spit on
    As they try to change their worlds
    Are immune to your consultations
    They're quite aware of what they're going through

    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the stranger)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the stranger)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Where's your shame
    You've left us up to our necks in it
    Time may change me
    But you can't trace time

    Strange fascination, fascinating me
    Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the stranger)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
    (Turn and face the stranger)
    Ch-ch-Changes
    Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
    Time may change me
    But I can't trace time
    I said that time may change me
    But I can't trace time

    I need your loving I can't wait long
    I get this feeling it comes on strong
    I try to see you youre always gone
    from home girl
    from home girl

    you're always out in fancy clothes
    down in clubs and late night shows
    where you get your money no one knows
    from home girl
    from home girl

    you run a big expensive car
    you come and go like a movie star
    and with your money you could stray far
    from home girl
    from home girl

    I need your loving I cant wait long
    I get this feeling it comes on strong
    I try to see you youre always gone
    from home girl
    from home girl

    The Lamp On The Corner
    Composer(s): Ned Washington - Agustín Lara



    Ask the lamp on the corner how lonely my life is without you
    Ask the lamp on the corner how often I've spoken about you
    With what's left of my heart in my hand
    Like a troubadour lonely I stand
    And the light in your window keeps calling me in
    Though I dare not obey its command
    Ask the lamp on the corner if I haven't told (him/her) I love you
    Just a miserable mourner who knows that he's not worthy of you
    I forgot how we parted or why
    Just a word or some little white lie
    But life won't be worth livin' 'till we've been forgiven
    The lamp on the corner and I

    Everyone is going through changes

    No one knows what's going on
    And everybody changes places

    But the world still carries on

    Love must always change to sorrow

    And everyone must play the game
    It's here today and gone tomorrow

    But the world goes on the same

    Everyone is going through changes

    Now love must always change to sorrow

    Everyone is going through changes

    Now love must always change to sorrow

    Everyone is going through changes

    But the world still carries on

    From His Woman To You
    Composer(s): Bettye Crutcher; Larry "Ace" Snell
    Performer(s): Barbara Mason



    "Hello Barbara, this is Shirley
    I would like you to know that the man ...
    Now wait a minute Shirley
    I'm a young woman
    And can't aford to all the things you do for this man
    I don't even have a job
    And I can't buy his clothes, pay his car notes
    And I surely can't keep money in his pocket
    But I can give him what he needs, when he needs it
    And that's all he expects from me"

    I can give him love
    From his woman to you
    There is a thing or two I'd like to say
    I don't care who claims this man
    I'm gonna love him in a way ...
    Woman to woman
    He spent last night with me
    Stayed here cause this is where he wanted to be
    From his woman to you
    I've got to make it
    Just play as I can

    Seems to me you're doing too much for the man
    From his woman to you
    That you begging loving
    It's giving up yourself
    And I feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for you
    I don't mind sharing
    If you don't bother me
    I won't bother you
    From his woman to you
    I don't know what you're gonna, gonna do
    But he is giving to me
    What he is getting from you
    Woman to woman
    That's the truth
    From his woman to you
    Seems like you're the fool
    I'm his only woman

    And I love him
    And I ain't about to give him up
    I'm his only woman, woman to woman
    I just wanna let you know
    That I ain't gonna never, never let him go
    Woman to woman, I'm his only woman

    The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
    Composer(s): Mike Rutherford - Peter Gabriel - Phil Collins - Steve Hackett - Tony Banks
    Performer(s): Genesis
    and multiple other artists



    And the lamb lies down on Broadway

    Early morning Manhattan
    Ocean winds blow on the land
    The Movie-Palace is now undone
    The all-night watchmen have had their fun
    Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show
    It's the same old ending-time to go
    Get out!
    It seems they cannot leave their dream
    There's something moving in the sidewalk steam
    And the lamb lies down on Broadway

    Nightime's flyers feel their pains
    Drugstore takes down the chains
    Metal motion comes in bursts
    But the gas station can quench that thirst
    Suspension cracked on unmade road
    The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
    And out on the subway
    Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
    Exits into daylight, spraygun hid
    And the lamb lies down on Broadway

    The lamb seems right out of place
    Yet the Broadway street sceng finds a focus in its face
    Somehow it's lying there
    Brings a stillness to the air
    Though man-made light, at night is very bright
    There's no whitewash victim
    As the neons dim, to the coat of white
    Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
    Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did
    And the lamb lies down on Broadway

    Suzanne tired her work all done
    Thinks money-honey-be on-neon
    Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
    And the sawdust king spits out his scorn
    Wonder women draw your blind!
    Don't look at me! I'm not your kind
    I'm Rael!
    Something inside me has just begun
    Lord knows what I have done
    And the lamb lies down on Broadway
    On Broadway
    They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
    They say there's always magic in the air

    Changement De Main, Changement De Vilain Composer(s): J.P. "Hector" Drand Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



    J'peux pas supporter le jour
    J'aime la nuit qui tache
    Au rouge sang et contours
    Des ombres des Apaches
    Quand l'état d'urgence
    Me pousse de ma tanière
    Ceux de la finance
    Peuvent avoir quelques misères
    J'peux pas dormir
    J'peux pas dormir
    Quand j'ferme les yeux
    C'est encore pire

    Déjà
    L'ombre glisse sur l'acier
    De mon automatique
    Déjà
    Je descends les escaliers
    Vers le marché du vice

    J'ai braqué au carrefour
    Une limousine de rêve
    Surchargée comme un poids lourd
    En direction Genève
    Kilos d'or en barres
    Planqués dans les portières
    Dix millions de dollars
    Sous le siège arrière
    Valeurs volées
    Livreurs envolés
    Valises enlevées
    Où est le voleur?

    Déjà
    L'infarctus vient de frôler
    Quelques costards, cravates
    Déjà
    Ont raccroché le combiné
    Mais y a pas feu au lac
    Changement de main, changement de vilain

    Les passeurs c'est pas sûr
    Pas franc comme l'or dur
    La business-class se casse
    Sans laisser de trace
    La jet-society lasse
    Tombe dans la mélasse
    Les passeurs c'est pas sûr
    Pas franc comme l'or dur

    Jamais
    Tu r'verras ton blé
    Jamais
    Faut l'oublier

    From Here To Shanghai
    Composer(s): Irving Berlin



    I've often wandered down to dreamy Chinatown
    The home of Chingaling
    It's fine! I must declare
    But now I'm going where I can see the real, real thing

    I'll have them teaching me to speak their language, gee!
    When I can talk Chinese, I'll come home on the run
    Then have a barr'll of fun
    Calling people what I please

    I'll soon be there
    In a bamboo chair
    For I've got my fare, from here to Shanghai
    Just picture me
    Sipping Oolong, tea
    Served by a Chinaman, who speaks away up high
    ("Hock-a-my, Hock-a-my")
    I'll eat the way they do, with a pair of wooden sticks
    And I'll have Ching Ling Foo
    Doing all his magic tricks
    I'll get my mail from a pale pigtail
    For I mean to sail
    From here to Shanghai

    The lady with the big umbrella
    Her name is Rosabella
    You'll always see her with a fella
    And her pink and yella umbrella

    She isn't much for fancy dancing
    But this girl sure loves romancing
    She's the lady with the big umbrella
    And her name is Rosabella

    With her umbrella in her hand
    She's never shy and that's the reason why
    She has a guy that's why
    For love's a thing she really knows, there is no doubt
    For what it's all about she has found out

    So plan a trip to Venezuela
    You must see Rosabella
    You'll always see her with a fella
    And a pink and yella umbrella

    (La la la la la la la la...)

    For what it's all about she has found out

    So plan a trip to Venezuela
    You must see Rosabella
    You'll always see her with a fella
    'Cause some say that her umbrella
    Is the way she gets a fella
    But is it her umbrella
    Or Rosabella

    This endless desire, will live from here to eternity

    The Lady On The Cameo
    Composer(s): Hoffman - Kent - Kurtz
    Performer(s): Sam Browne



    Once I stopped at a little shop
    And a girl on a lovely cameo
    Caught my eye and my heart leaped high
    Seemed I heard her say hello

    Just one look overtook my heart
    I was part of a world I didn’t know
    Taken there by the sweet and fair
    Lady on the cameo

    We were strolling in a garden
    When a chansonette
    Softly drifted through
    She confided as we glided in a minuet
    I love you

    Moments rare were the moments there
    Drifting back to the lovely long ago
    Side by side with the dreamy eyed
    Lady on the cameo

    Change The World Composer(s): Tommy Sims - Gordon Kenney - Wayne Kirkpatrick First release by: Eric Clapton - 1996



    If I can reach the stars
    Pull one down for you
    Shine it on my heart
    So you could see the truth
    That this love I have inside
    Is everything it seems
    But for now I find
    It's only in my dreams

    And I can change the world
    I will be the sunlight in your universe
    You would think my love was really something good
    Baby if I could change the world

    And if I could be king
    Even for a day
    I'd take you as my queen
    I'd have it no other way
    And our love would rule
    This kingdom we had made
    Till then I'd be a fool
    Wishing for the day...

    That I can change the world
    I would be the sunlight in your universe
    You would think my love was really something good
    Baby if I could change the world
    Baby if I could change the world

    I could change the world
    I would be the sunlight in your universe
    You would think my love was really something good
    Baby if I could change the world
    Baby if I could change the world
    Baby if I could change the world

    From Here On It Got Rough
    German Title: Von Nun An Ging's Bergab
    Composer(s): Hans Hammerschmid;
    Hildegard Knef; David Cameron
    Performer(s): Hildegard Knef



    I came to the world on a cold winter's day
    Sneezed three times, it must have been hay
    My Father was livid, he wanted a son
    I took a look round and said to the Nun
    "From here on it gets rough"

    At first I found I had little to do
    They allowed me to grow, a room with a view
    But after awhile, they hit on a plan
    It's time to start learning, the trouble began
    From here on it got rough

    At fifteen I'd a dream which I found very clever
    I wanted to act, Mama said, "No, never!"
    My Father said, "Out!", I was already gone
    And followed the call, 'The show must go on!'
    From here on it got rough

    My talents got spotted, Producers helped out
    And gave me those parts where you stand in the crowd
    When the star became ill, I stepped in like a shot
    And someone from films signed me up on the spot
    From here on it got rough

    I played all the good parts and sometimes the bad
    And sometimes a figleaf was all that I had
    And Hollywood said it would certainly die
    If I didn't come soon, so I went, aye-aye-aye
    From here on it got rough

    But now I was famous, I had made it at last
    Went happily back to the scene of my past
    I received a big prize, had my name in 'Who's Who'
    But after a flop, that name was taboo
    From here on it got rough

    At first I was hurt, I thought it was wrong
    Then somebody heard me singing a song
    I told him I couldn't, but he said, "Yes, you can!"
    So that's how this latest torment began
    A change was overdue......
    From here it's tough on you"

    The Lady Loves Me
    Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley & Ann-Margret



    EP:
    She loves me, she loves me not
    She loves me, she loves me not
    She loves me, she loves me, she loves me
    The lady loves me and it shows
    In spite of the way she turns up her nose
    I'm her ideal, her heart's desire
    Under that ice she's burning like fire
    She'd like to cuddle up to me
    She's playing hard to get
    The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet

    AM:
    The gentleman has savoir-faire
    As much as an elephant or a bear
    I'd like to take him for a spin
    Back to the zoo to visit his kin
    He's got about as much appeal as a soggy cigarette
    The lady loathes him but he doesn't know it yet

    EP: The lady's got a crush on me
    AM: The gentleman's crazy obviously
    EP: The lady's dying to be kissed
    AM: The gentleman needs a psychiatrist
    I'd rather kiss a rattlesnake
    Or play Russian roulette
    EP: The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet

    EP: She's falling fast she's on the skids
    AM: Both of his heads are flipping their lids
    EP: Tonight she'll hold me in her arms
    AM: I'd rather be holding hydrogen bombs
    Will someone tell this Romeo
    I'm not his Juliette
    EP: Ah, the lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet

    EP: She wants me
    AM: Like poison ivy
    EP: Needs me
    AM: Like a hole in the head
    EP: Anyone can see she's got it bad
    AM: Ha, he's mad!

    AM: The gentleman is an egotist
    EP: I'm simply aware I'm hard to resist
    AM: He's one man I could learn to hate
    EP: How's about having dinner at eight
    AM: I'd rather dine with Frankenstein
    In a moonlight tete-a-tete
    EP: Ah, the lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet

    EP: Ah yes she loves me
    AM: Dig that shrinking violet
    EP: Oh she really loves me
    AM: Here's one gal you'll never get
    EP: She lo-lo-loves me
    AM: Would you like to make a bet
    EP: I said the lady loves me
    AM; The gentleman's all wet

    Change The Name
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Michelle Shocked



    Well, of course, this actually happened
    In the reconstruction days of the South it got to be pretty serious
    when the carpet-baggers came down and started running the whole show down here
    And things were especially rough up in the state of Arkansas
    when it was very seriously proposed to change the name of the state
    And this is taken down on the Legislative rolls which can now be found
    I think, under the date of July the 23rd, 1867
    And this is what the hometown boy had to say
    I think first he pulled out his horse-pistol and laid it across his desk so he wouldn't be interrupted

    Mr Speaker, god-damn your soul, for more than thirty minutes I've been trying to get your attention
    but every time I caught your eye you squirmed like a damn dog with a flea in his ass

    I guess you know who I am Sir
    My name is Cassius M. Johnson from Jackson County, Arkansas
    where a man can't stick his ass out the window and shit without it getting riddled with bullets
    Why Sir, I was fourteen years old before I had my first pair of pants and they was of buckskin
    But at the age of seventeen Mr Speaker, I had a jock on me the size of a roasting ear and it was the pride of Jackson County
    And you propose to change the name of Arkansas
    Never, by God Sir, never!

    I'm out of order?
    How can I be out of order when I can piss clear across the Mississippi River?

    Where was Andrew Jackson when the battle of New Orleans was fought?
    He was right thar Sir, up to his ass in blood
    And you change the name of Arkansas?
    Never, when I can defend her

    You may shit on the grave of George Washington
    Piss on the monument of Thomas Jefferson
    You may desecrate the sacred remains of the immortal General Robert E. Lee
    You may rape the Goddess of Liberty and wipe your ass on the Stars and Stripes
    And your crime, your crime Sir will no more compare to this hellish design
    than the glow of a lightning-bug's ass to the glare of the noon days sun
    And you propose to change the name of Arkansas
    Never, by God Sir, never!

    You may compare the lily of the valley to the glorious sunflower
    Or the sun-kissed peaks of the highest mountains to the smokin' turd of a dunghill
    Or the classic strains of Mozart to the fart of a Mexican burrow
    You may compare the puny penis of a Peruvian prince to the ponderous buttocks of the Roman gladiator
    But change the name of Arkansas?
    Never, by God Sir, never!
