    The Last Cheater's Waltz
    Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton
    Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
    and multiple other artists



    She was going to pieces when he walked in the door
    She had to see him she can't wait no more
    Tonight she'll be with him no matter the cost
    As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

    And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
    Oooooooohh don't they play sad
    Oooooooohh three quarter only
    See how he holds her
    As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

    He tells her he loves her as the music plays on
    He tells he loves her but someone's at home
    The ball game's all over and she knows she's lost
    As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

    And oooooooohh don't they play lonely
    Oooooooohh don't they play sad
    Oooooooohh three quarter only
    See how he holds her
    As the band plays The Last Cheater's Waltz

    Changing My Tune Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin Performer(s): Judy Garland and multiple other artists



    Castles were crumbling and daydreams were tumbling
    December was battling with June
    But on this bright afternoon
    Guess I’ll be changing my tune
    Kept on despairing beyond any caring
    If I jumped out of a balloon
    But I’m arranging from now
    To be changing my tune

    At last the stars are bright and shiny
    It’s a human world once more
    Yesterday’s troubles are tiny
    What was I worried for?

    Wanted a permit to make me a hermit
    To grumble and glare at the moon
    But I’m arranging from now
    To be changing my tune

    At last the stars are bright and shiny
    It’s a human world once more
    Yesterday’s troubles are tiny
    What was I worried for?

    No more resentment, I’m full of contentment
    Afloat on a dreamy lagoon
    And I’m arranging from now
    To be changing my tune

    From Our House To Yours
    Composer(s): Angela Kaset
    Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Angela Kaset



    When I was just a little kid
    You became my very best friend
    Soon as I had done my chores
    I beat a path from our house to yours

    One Christmas we both asked for bikes
    One in red, one blue and white
    I'll never forget that magic morn
    My first ride from our house to yours

    From our house to yours
    Twenty-one mailboxes
    Twenty-one doors
    For ten years or more
    It was back and forth from our house to yours

    One summer we both had a crush
    On a boy who lived down the road from us
    He liked me but he liked you more
    I watched him go from our house to yours

    I remember the day you turned thirteen
    Thought you had grown too old for me
    But I taught you make-up and you taught me boys
    We burned up the phone lines from our house to yours

    From our house to yours
    Seven numbers
    Twenty-one doors
    For ten years or more
    I knew the way from our house to yours

    I'll never forget that awful day
    When the moving van took you away
    I cried 'til my eyes were red and sore
    Five-hundred miles from our house to yours

    It had been a while since you crossed my mind
    Then a card in the mailbox at Christmas time
    With an evergreen wreath on a red front door
    Saying lots of love from our house to yours

    From our house to yours
    Too many years
    Too many doors
    For ten years or more
    I knew the way from our house to yours
    I knew the way from our house to yours

    and multiple other artists



    I've been cryin' and my-oh-my-in' since she's been gone
    But I've done some thinkin' and it's startin' to sink-in that life goes on
    So if you're somebody who's feelin' sorry for yourself, better sing along
    'Cause this is gonna be the last blues song

    Now a little bitty bit of self pity can really sing
    But it keeps on growin' and you know woe-woe-in' don't change a thing
    So, if you're a person who's hooked on hurtin' on yourself, better sing along
    'Cause this is gonna be the last blues song

    Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh, my oh my
    Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I'm fit to die
    Baby, baby, baby, baby, please don't go
    Mama, I think I'm gettin' high on feelin' low-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh

    All you losers and full time blues'ers get out of bed
    Don't you go and give in, don't you give up on livin' before you're dead
    Come on now, brother, if you've been motherin' yourself, better sing along
    'Cause this is gonna be, this is gonna be the last blues song

    Changing Horses Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Country Comfort



    Changing horses in the middle of a stream
    Gets you wet and sometimes cold
    Changing faces in the middle of a dream
    Gets you old
    Oh, gets you old

    Looking farther than you'll ever hope to see
    Takes you places you don't know
    Search for someone you can't ever hope to be
    And still you go
    Oh, still you go

    Don't you think it's kind of sad to say
    Don't you think it's gonna change?
    Makes you think you'll have to stay inside
    For a while

    Changing horses in the middle of a stream
    Gets you wet and sometimes cold
    Changing faces in the middle of a dream
    Gets you old

    From Monday on, my cares are over
    From Monday on, I’ll be in clover
    We pick on Monday because it’s washday
    And we’ll wash our blues away
    From Monday on, the skies will look bright
    Don’t tell me different, I know I’m right
    I’m gonna start shouting Hey Hey
    When he says Love Honour and Obey
    I’ll be happy, from Monday on

    The Lass Of Swansea Town
    (Traditional)



    It was down by Swansea barracks
    one May morning I strayed
    A-viewing of the soldier lads
    I spied a comely maid
    It was o'er her red and rosy cheeks
    the tears did dingle down
    I thought she was some goddess fair
    the lass of Swansea town

    I said, "Fair maid, what brought you here
    what brought you here to mourn?"
    "Oh I'm in search of Willie dear
    my bonny young sailor boy
    Eight years ago he left me here
    for Bermuda he was bound
    He said he would prove faithful to
    the lass of Swansea town"

    "If eight years ago he left you
    it is useless for to mourn
    For perhaps he is in some battle slain
    or in the ocean drowned"
    "Oh God forbid, young man," she said
    "By what token will he be known
    if he ever do return to the
    lass of Swansea Town"

    "On his left breast he wears a scar
    where he received a wound"
    "If by that token your Willie is known
    it's him I know right well
    The cannon-ball which made him fall
    gave him his deathly wound
    He told me to take care of you
    the lass of Swansea town"

    Soon as she heard him say these words
    she fell in deep despair
    Wringing of her lily-white hands
    and tearing of her hair
    Saying, "Take me to my Willie
    else give me my death wound
    For no other man will ever enjoy
    the lass of Swansea town"

    On coming to herself once more up
    from the ground she rose
    His waistcoat it blew open and
    the scar it did expose
    They walked till they reached his cottage
    and there they settled down
    Young Willie of the royal blue and
    the lass of Swansea town

    Changing All The Time Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Kevin Savigar Performer(s): Peter Frampton



    You're doing what you think is right
    Yeah, like it's black and white
    Then you're not so sure
    'Cause everything's changing all the time

    You're digging deep inside
    In me you can always confide
    You have to trust in yourself
    'Cause everything's changing all the time
    When in your darkest days
    You are the light that shines the way
    ....Gotta leave it all behind
    'Cause everything's changing all the time

    When you're put to the test
    And you need some tenderness
    Don't let yesterday haunt you
    'Cause everything's changing all the time
    'Cause everything's changing all the time

    When things don't seem to go as planned
    And your hopes seem out of reach
    Don't let your fears surround you
    You can't give up now
    And loose what's inside you

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Changes Composer(s): Alan Price Performer(s): Alan Price



    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
