L'Ostendaise
((English Version: Girl in an Armchair (by Amanda McBroom))
Composer(s): Gérard Jouannest - Jacques Brel 
Performer(s): Jacques Brel



Une Ostendaise
Pleure sur sa chaise
Le chat soupèse
Son poids d'amour
Dans le silence
Son chagrin danse
Et les vieux pensent
Chacun son tour
À la cuisine
Quelques voisines
Parlent de Chine
Et d'un retour
À Singapore
Une Javanaise
Devient belle-sœur
De l'Ostendaise

Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer

Notre Ostendaise
Que rien n'abaise
De chaise en chaise
Va sa blessure
Quelques commères
Quelques compères
Battent le fer
De sa blessure
Son capitaine
Sous sa bedaine
De bière pleine
Bat le tambour
Homme de devoir
Homme d'étoiles
Il prend l'escale
Pour un détour

Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer

Notre Ostendaise
Au temps des fraises
Devient maîtresse
D'un pharmacien
Son capitaine
Mort sous bedaine
Joue les baleines
Les sous-marins
Pourquoi ma douce
Moi le faux mousse
Que le temps pousse
T'écrire de loin
C'est que je t'aime
Et tant je t'aime
Qu'ai peur ma reine
D'un pharmacien

Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et moi je suis en mer

Ari's Song
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



Sail away, sail away my little boy
Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy
Sail away my little boy

Let the rain wash away your cloudy days
Sail away into a dream
Let the wind send you a fantasy
Of the ancient silver sea

Now you see that only dreams
Can send you where you want to be
Now you find those faces
Are not holding places
Where you thought they'd be
And later as you go again
You will agree
That it was all a dream

Sail away, sail away my little boy
Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy
Sail away my little boy

Lost Weekend
Composer(s): Wall of Voodoo
Performer(s): Wall of Voodoo



Drivin' outta Vegas in their automobile
She was in the back seat while he was at the wheel
With the windows wide open

All the money from the store, they'd gambled away
He said "the best laid plans often go astray"

She took the page of a book and turned it down
She lit a cigarette, she didn't make a sound

"And I know, if we'd had just one more chance," he said
"I know, we'd finally hit the big one at last", she said

(Instead of) another lost weekend
Lost weekend
Another lost weekend
Lost weekend

"Pull over soon," she said, "it's no big deal
You can take any exit that you happen to feel
Is the right one"
The right one

As she slowly blew her smoke out the rear wind vent
She thought back on all the letters she'd sent
For a contest to be on a quiz game show

"Maybe I shoulda stayed in school," he said
"Yeah, I know––start your own business cleanin' swimming pools," she said

(Instead of) another lost weekend
Lost weekend
Another lost weekend
Lost weekend

(Instead of) another lost weekend
Lost weekend
Another lost weekend
Lost weekend

She leaned over the front seat and twiddled with the radio dial
She looked out the window, saw a sign, and both of them began to smile
"There's a place we can stay at ... it's up another mile"

If the sun doesn't always shine
Dum dum dum dum
just remember that you are mine
Dum dum dum dum

Marble breaks and iron bends
But our love will never end

After all is said and done
You're the only one

Should I ever be far away
Dum dum dum dum
My love is with you night and day
Dum dum dum dum

Marble breaks and iron bends
But our love will never end

Marble breaks and iron bends
But our love will never end

Til I give you a band of gold
Dum dum dum dum
Take my heart now to have and hold
Dum dum dum dum

Marble breaks and iron bends
But our love will never end

Marble breaks and iron bends
But our love will never end

Marble breaks and iron bends
But our love will never end

Marble breaks and iron bends
But our love will never end

Lost Symphony
Performer(s): Steve Howe



Two-sided through four sides
We slide
Are we up, are we down?
Twirling round and round
Spectral spaces found
Leaves enjoy their autumn
Do you like the fall?
Suppose yourself above it all
In our self-made worlds

Well, I met her when an old established
Twining friendship failed
You'd think by now
It would be right, that I'm not nailed
To some obscure note
That runs along a board
In our self-made worlds
Do we rote

Changes into harmony
Revolutions oiled to that symphony

Always True To You In My Fashion

First performance/First recording/First release by: Lisa Kirk - 1948/1949/1949
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, Bill
Why can't you behave 
Why can't you behave?
How in hell can you be jealous
When you know, baby, I'm your slave?
I'm just mad for you
And I'll always be
But naturally..... 

If a custom-tailored vet
Asks me out for something wet
When the vet begins to pet, I cry "hooray!"
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way

I enjoy a tender pass
By the boss of Boston, Mass
Though his pass is middle-class and not Backa Bay
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion 
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin' in my way

There's a madman known as Mack
Who is planning to attack
If his mad attack means a Cadillac, okay!
But I'm always true to to you, darlin', in my fashion 
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin' in my way

I've been asked to have a meal
By a big tycoon in steel
If the meal includes a deal, accept I may
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, Darlin' in my way

I could never curl my lip 
To a dazzlin' diamond clip 
Though the clip meant "Let 'er rip", I'd not say "Nay!"
But I'm always true to to you, darlin, in my fashion 
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin' in my way

There's an oil man known as "Tex"
Who is keen to give me checks
And his checks, I fear, mean that sex is here to stay!
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin' in my way

There's a wealthy Hindu priest
Who's a wolf, to say the least
When the priest goes too far East, I also stray
But I'm always true to to you, darlin', in my fashion 
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin'in my way

There's a lush from Portland, Ore
Who is rich but such a bore
When the bore falls on the floor, I let him lay
But I'm always true to to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin',in my way

Mister Harris, plutocrat
Wants to give my cheek a pat
If the Harris pat means a Paris hat, Bébé,  Oo-la-la! 
Mais je suis toujours fidele, darlin', in my fashion 
Oui, je suis toujours fidele, darlin', in my way

From Ohio, Mister Thorne
Calls me up from night 'til morn
Mister Thorne once corner'd corn and that ain't hay 
But I'm always true to to you, darlin', in my fashion 
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way

From Milwaukee, Mister Fritz
Often moves me to the Ritz
Mister Fritz is full of Schlitz and full of play
But I'm always true to to you, darlin', in my fashion 
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way

Mister Gable, I mean Clark
Wants me on his boat to park
If the Gable boat means a sable coat, anchors aweigh!
But I'm always true to to you, darlin', in my fashion 
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way

Lost River
Composer(s): Michael Martin Murphey
First release by: Michael Martin Murphey - 1982



There's a lost river that flows
In a valley where no one goes
Where the wild waters rush
Rumbles deep in the hush

Gone far from there now
Lord I'll be back somehow
To where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines

Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back
To the pot-belly stove
Where the firewood's all stacked
Oh Quebec girl, go with me
Oh my belle, my fleur de lis
Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines

Now everybody knows
Where that lost river flows
It's some place he's lost
Behind bridges that he's crossed

Well, he'd like to return
But his bridges are all burned
And he's much too far down
To return to higher ground

Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back
To the pot-belly stove
Where the firewoods all stacked
Oh Quebec girl, go with me
Oh my belle, my fleur de lis
Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines

Oh, lost river, far over the ridge
Now is it too late
For me to build me a new bridge?
To the bright golden time
When her love was still mine
And the world was still wild
Like the heart of a child

Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back
To the pot-belly stove, where the firewood's all stacked
Oh Quebec girl, go with me
Oh my belle, my fleur de lis
Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines

Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines

Always Tomorrow
Composer(s): Gloria Estefan
Performer(s): Gloria Estefan; The Latin Rhythm Connection



I’ve been alone inside myself, far too long
Never really wanted it that way, but I let it happen
If I could do it all again, my life would be infinitely better than before
I wouldn’t waste a moment
Make time for laughing with my friends
Make love, make music, make amends
Try to make a difference, try to love, try to understand
Instead of just giving up, I’d use the power at my command

That’s why there’s always tomorrow, to start over again
Things will never stay the same, the only one sure thing is change
That’s why there’s always tommorow

I guess it took a little time, for me to see
The reason I was born into this world
And what I’d have to go through
For I’ve finially realized, that I could beinfinitely better than before, defintely stronger
I’ll face whatever comes my way, savor each moment of the day
Love as many people as I can along the way
Help someone who’s given up, if it’s just to raise my eyes and pray

That’s why there’s always tomorrow, to start over again
Things will never stay the same, the only one sure thing is change
That’s why there’s always tommorow

Before your last setting sun
And everything your heart has longed for
Has yet to be (one)
Yes there’s always tomorrow though people come and they go
But if you,ve brought some love to their lives
Then you’ve got something to show

Lost It
Composer(s): Boz Scaggs
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs; Maseneye



Another day, another mountain
Who's to say they never move
'Cause we moved one after another
Till there was nothing left to prove

Then we turned around and tossed it
After all that we'd been through
And when I look at what it cost us
I guess it's time I faced the truth

Maybe I lost it
When I lost you
Maybe I lost it
When I lost you

The night we climbed above the ruins
The gypsies sang 
Those ancient Spanish blues
I saw a man awake but still dreaming
I saw myself in love with you

I walk around I think about it
And all the things that we went through
And the more I think about it
It wasn't you

.... that I lost
Was it the dream or just the notion
Well I lost it when I lost you

Always Together
Composer(s): Bobby Miller - Helen Miller
Performer(s): The Dells



Just you, just me, always together
I made up my mind years ago
When I first gazed upon you I'd never let you go
And it's amazing baby
How we loved each other so
And we'll always be (always be)
Always together

We'll have our problems
But we'll face them with pride
Our love is protection
And we don't have to hide
And a thousand nights I'll kiss away
(The happy tears you cry)
And we'll always be (always be)
Always together

Just you, just me
Always, always, always,
Always, always, always,
When the years have turned
Your hair to silver
And the days of our youth
Have left us so very far behind
Golden, golden memories
Will keep in our minds
And we'll always be (always be)
Always together
Just you, just me
Always, always, always ... 

Lost In The Supermarket
Composer(s): Topper Headon - Paul Simonon - Joe Strummer - Mick Jones
First release by: The Clash - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how it's been all around me

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Make me noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

And it's not hear
It disappear
I'm all lost

Always Together
Composer(s): Peter De Angelis - Jean Sawyer
Performer(s): Dean Martin; Al Martino



Always together
Until forever
Living the dreams that we share

Two hearts together
Until forever
Showing the world that we care

You won't be lonely
I'll love you only
I'll live my life just for you

Always together
Until forever
Our love will always be true

Lost In The Shadows
Composer(s): Lou Gramm
Performer(s): Lou Gramm



Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
Say hello to the night
Lost in the loneliness
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
No one knows

I can't wait, I can't wait, no
When I see little lights in the shadows
One must hide when the sun gets higher
I don't know what this madness means

Here comes the night
The bedroom in shadows
Candlelights
I don't know where it's coming from
But I, I keep moving on
Till the darkest thought makes me want to try these wings

Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
Say hello to the night
Lost in the loneliness
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
No one knows

Loneliness pours over you
Emptiness can pull you through
Did you go to sleep with the light on?
I can't wait for this feeling to free me

Wind blows hard, but it doesn't matter
'Cause when the sun goes down
Nothing else matters
The line is where the night lies
I will wait outside her window tonight

Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
Say hello to the night
Lost in the loneliness
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
No one knows

Loneliness pours over you
Emptiness can pull you through
Did you go to sleep with the light on?
I can't wait for this feeling to free me

Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
Say hello to the night
Lost in the loneliness
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
No one knows

Always The Sun
Composer(s): Jet Black - Jean-Jacques Burnel - Hugh Cornwell - Dave Greenfield
First release by: The Stranglers - 1986



How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
Who gets to say, who gets the work and who gets to play?
I was always told at school, everybody should get the same

How many times have you been told, if you don't ask, you don't get?
How many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't bet?
Who has the fun, is it always the man with a gun?
Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat

There's always the sun (always the sun)
There's always the sun
Always, always (always the sun)

How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh?
I know it's not unlike the politicians and the leaders
When they do things by half, who gets the job of pushing the knob?
That sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough

There's always the sun (always the sun)
There's always the sun
Always, always (always the sun)

Lost In The Flood
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen



The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home like a hungry runaway
He walks through town all alone
He must be from the fort he hears the high school girls say
His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide
The hit and run, plead sanctuary, `neath a holy stone they hide
They're breakin' beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection
nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy blood
Sticker smiles sweet as gunner breathes deep, his ankles caked in mud
And I said "Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand, that's quicksand that ain't mud
Have you thrown your senses to the war or did you lose them in the flood?"

That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight
He rides `er low on the hip, on the side he's got 
Bound For Glory in red, white and blue flash paint
He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy The Saint
Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell
That is, nothin' left that you could sell
just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm
Or was he just lost in the flood?
Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air
Some storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare
and Bronx's best apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware
Everything stops, you hear five, quick shots, the cops come up for air
And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown, they're shootin' up the street
And that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose
but he gets blown right off his feet
And some kid comes blastin' round the corner but a cop puts him right away
He lays on the street holding his leg screaming something in Spanish
Still breathing when I walked away
And somebody said "Hey man did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud"
I wonder what the dude was sayin' or was he just lost in the flood?
Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are sure messed up
I wonder what they were gettin' into, or were they just lost in the flood?

Always Take A Girl Named "Daisy" ('Cause Daisies Won't Tell)
Composer(s): Geo. W. Meyer - Alfred Bryan - Sam M. Lewis



Handsome Harry, handsome Harry Thomas
He was sued, yes, sued for breach of promise
He took Mary walking through the dell
And said "Now don't you dare to tell"

Mary went right home and told her mother
Ma told Pa and Pa then told another
Brother told the preacher and
the pracher went and tolled a wedding bell

Never take a walk with Mary
Never take a walk with Sue
Never take a walk with Maude or Carrie
That's the kind of girl you'll have to marry

If you take a girl out walking
Down a little shady dell
Always take a girl named Daisy
'Cause daisies won't tell

Harry's married life was pure and simple
Till he met a girlie with a dimple
She said "Dear I'm not acquainted here
I just came down from Beaver Fall"

Harry winked and said, why silk and satin
To this girl would be like Greek and Latin
Harry felt like fainting
when he missed his little dollar Ingersol

Never take a walk with Mary
Never take a walk with Sue
Never take a walk with Maude or Carrie
That's the kind of girl you'll have to marry

Lost In The Fifties Tonight (In the Still Of the Night)
Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap



Close your eyes, Baby
Follow my heart
Call on the memories
Here in the dark
We'll let the magic
Take us away
Back to the feelings
We shared when they played

In the still of the night
Hold me darlin', hold me tight
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

These precious hours
We know can't survive
But loves all that matters
While the past is alive
Now and for always
Till time disappears
We'll hold each other
Whenever we hear

In the still of the night
Hold me darlin, hold me tight
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight 

Always Somewhere
Composer(s): Rudolf Schenker - Klaus Meine
Performer(s): Scorpions



Arrive at seven the place feels good
No time to call you today
Encores till eleven then Chinese fool
Back to the hotel again
I call your number the line ain't free
I like to tell you come to me
A night without you seems like a lost dream
Love I can't tell you how I feel
Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Another morning another place
The only day off is far away
But every cith has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again
Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Lost In Music
Composer(s): Bernard Edwards - Nile Rodgers
First release by: Sister Sledge - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



We're lost in music; caught in a trap
No turning back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my nine-to-five
We're lost in music
Have you ever seen some people lose ev'rything?
First to go is their mind
Responsibility to me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time
I want to join a band and play in front of crazy fans
Yes
I call that temptation
Give me a melody
That's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation
We're lost in music; caught in a trap ...
In the spotlight
the band plays so very tight
each and every night
It's not vanity
To me it's my sanity
I could never survive
Some people ask of me: What are you gonna be?
Why don't you go get a job?
All that I can say
I won't give up my music
not me
not now
no way
no how
We're lost in music
caught in a trap
caught in our music
No turning back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music - don't take away our music
Feel so alive
Feel
I quit - I quit my nine-to-five
Yeah
we're lost in music
We're lost in music - melody is good to me
Caught in a trap
I'm caught
Oh baby
no turning back
No
no
no
we're lost in music
We're lost in music

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
