    Take the last train to Clarksville
    And I'll meet you at the station
    You can be be there by four thirty
    'Cause I made your reservation

    Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
    Oh, no, no, no!

    'Cause I'm leavin' in the morning
    And I must see you again
    We'll have one more night together
    'Til the morning brings my train

    And I must go, oh, no, no, no!
    Oh, no, no, no!
    And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

    Take the last train to Clarksville
    I'll be waiting at the station
    We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
    And a bit of conversation

    Oh... Oh, no, no, no!
    Oh, no, no, no!

    Take the last train to Clarksville
    Now I must hang up the phone
    I can't hear you in this noisy Railroad station all alone

    I'm feelin' low. Oh, no, no, no!
    Oh, no, no, no!
    And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

    Take the last train to Clarksville
    Take the last train to Clarksville

    Beg Your Pardon
    Composer(s): Francis Craig; Harry Beasley Smith
    Performer(s): Pat Boone
    and various other artists



    If I lose my head, beg your pardon
    For things I have said, beg your pardon
    Why should I worry and feel like I do?
    You're in no hurry to let me love you
    I'll try for a kiss in the garden
    And then if I miss, beg your pardon
    But if some sunny day
    you'll let me have my way
    I won't have to say, beg your pardon

    (repeat)

    Last Train To Amsterdam
    Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
    Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard



    There's an old soul waitin' to be born
    There's a scarecrow standin' in the corn
    On of thems wishin' for the light of day
    One of them is chasin' all the black crows away

    Well I'm standing at the station and I don't know where I am
    And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam

    There's a preacher out spreadin' the word
    There's a blond in a thunderbird
    One of them tells me to kneel and pray
    One of them gets to me in a real bad way

    Well I got me a one way ticket to get me from where I am
    And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam

    I'm standin' just south of Fate
    There ain't no exit from the interstate
    There's one way in, it's a long dirty road
    Only one way our Robert Johnson knows

    There's a hobo waitin' on a train
    There's a hitch hiker standin' in the rain
    One of them knows he's never going home
    The other one feels God down in his bones

    Before You Break My Heart
    Composer(s): Harold Elton Box; Desmond Cox; Lewis Ilda
    Performer(s): Sally Douglas & Archie Lewis



    Before you break my heart
    Let’s try again
    Before you really say we’re through
    Before you take the sun
    And leave me the rain
    Please think once again, what could I do, dear
    Before we say goodbye
    Why can’t we try
    Forgiving and forgetting too
    Before we have to part
    Before you break my heart
    Remember I’m in love with you

    Look honey, before you break my heart
    Let’s try again
    What do you say, huh, honey?
    Before we really say we’re through
    Just give me one more chance
    Before you take the sun
    And leave me nothin’ but rain
    Won’t you please think once again
    What could I do? What could I do, dear?
    So, darling, why can’t we try
    Come on now, let’s try
    Let’s try forgiving and forgetting
    Just like sweethearts, please do

    Before we have to part
    Before you break my heart
    Remember I’m in love with you

    Last To Leave
    Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
    Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie; Abrams Brothers



    Lonely sunshine, days come easy
    Spend my time alone at rest
    And if I were the last to leave here
    Now would these roads be any less?

    Oh, I'm the last to leave
    Now would these ribbon highway roads
    Be less wonderful to me?
    Why must I always be so slow?

    Many friends come and go
    You know there's a lot of feelings that I've left behind
    And it's a lonely world, I know
    When your friends are hard to find

    But take the time, my memory fails
    And soak my eyes in the morning rain
    Like a sailor, sailing over Jordan
    On the road back home again

    Oh, I'm the last to leave
    Would these ribbon highway roads
    Be less wonderful to me?
    Why must I always be so slow?

    Before You Accuse Me
    Composer(s): Ellas McDaniel
    Originally performed by: Bo Diddley
    Covered by various other artists



    Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
    Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
    You say I've been buying another woman clothes
    But you've been talking to someone else

    I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
    I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
    Your mama said, "Son, Don't call my daughter no more"

    Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
    Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
    You say I've been buying another woman clothes
    But you've been taking money from someone else

    Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time
    Come on back home, baby; try y love one more time
    You've been gone away so long, I'm just about to lose my mind

    Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
    Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
    You say I've been buying another woman clothes
    But you've been talking to someone else

    The Last Time I Saw Paris
    Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Oscar Hammerstein II
    First performance: Ann Sothern - 1941
    Covered by multiple other artists



    A lady known as Paris, Romantic and Charming
    Has left her old companions and faded from view

    Lonely men with lonely eyes are seeking her in vain
    Her streets are where they were, but there's no sign of her

    She has left the Seine

    The last time I saw Paris, her heart was warm and gay
    I heard the laughter of her heart in every street caf

    The last time I saw Paris, her trees were dressed for spring
    And lovers walked beneath those trees and birds found songs to sing

    I dodged the same old taxicabs that I had dodged for years
    The chorus of their squeaky horns was music to my ears

    The last time I saw Paris, her heart was warm and gay
    No matter how they change her, I'll remember her that way

    I'll think of happy hours, and people who shared them
    Old women, selling flowers, in markets at dawn

    Children who applauded, Punch and Judy in the park
    And those who danced at night and kept our Paris bright

    'til the town went dark

    Before The Swedish Summer
    Swedish Title: Framför Svenska Sommaren
    Composer(s): J.E. Lit; L. Herscher;
    R. Grahm; K.G. Lundkvist
    Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



    How I miss the summer
    It will soon be here
    Think how warm and nice we have it here in our country
    Green meadows, sun and sea
    You can take off your clothes
    You can lie and rest all day on the beach
    And when the evening comes
    You can take your loved one
    Out to a barn dance or just stay in town
    Before the Swedish summer
    How lucky we are to have it
    We always have something to look forward to
    How I miss the summer
    It will soon be here
    Think how warm and nice we have it here in our country
    Green meadows, sun and sea
    You can take off your clothes
    You can lie and rest all day on the beach
    Soon it will be here again
    The warm, beautiful summer
    Then all the green things grow and the sun shines on our country
    Before the Swedish summer
    How lucky we are to have it
    We always have something to look forward to
    Before the Swedish summer
    How lucky we are to have it
    We always have something to look forward to
    Before the Swedish summer
    How lucky we are to have it...

    Last Time I Saw Him
    Composer(s): Michael Masser - Pam Sawyer
    Performer(s): Diana Ross; Dottie West



    Last time I saw him
    He sweetly kissed my lips
    Last time I saw him
    He said: "I'll be back for more of this"
    Last time I saw him
    We were crying at the bus
    I knew he hated leaving
    But he had to set us up

    I gave him money
    I know I invested well
    Mamma doesn't trust him
    But he loves me I can tell

    Each time the greyhound
    Arrives at nine o' clock
    But I don't start my crying
    'Till that last man's gotten off

    Last time I saw him
    Last time I saw my honey
    Last time I saw him
    He was greyhound-bound
    But I'm still waiting here
    Without a fear
    That bus will someday turn around

    I had no letter
    It's been six months, maybe better
    I try forgetting him
    But I love him more then ever

    I have decided
    I've waited long enough
    If there was nothing wrong
    He would return right on that bus

    There must be trouble
    So I'm leavin' on the double
    If he can't get to me
    I know he needs me desperately

    Last time I saw him
    Last time I saw my honey
    Last time I saw him
    He was looking fine
    And as he waved goodbye
    He said don't cry
    I'm coming back, no rain or shine

    Last time I saw him
    Last time I saw my honey
    Last time I saw him
    He was greyhound-bound
    And as he waved goodbye
    He said don't cry
    I'm coming back, no rain or shine

    La de da, la da do
    Do la da da, da da da

    Last time I saw him
    He was looking fine
    And as he waved goodbye
    He said don't cry
    I'm coming back, no rain or shine

    Before The Parade Passes By
    Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



    Before the parade passes by
    I'm gonna go and taste Saturday's high life
    before the parade passes by
    I'm going to get some life back into my life

    I'm ready to move out in front
    I've had enough of just passing by life
    with the rest of them
    with the best of them
    I can hold my head up high

    I've got to go again
    I've got to drive again
    I've got to feel my heart coming alive again
    Before the parade passes by!

    Look at the crowd up ahead
    Listen and heard that brass harmony growing
    Look at the crowd up ahead
    Pardon me if my old spirite showing
    All of those lights over there
    Seems to be teeling me where I'm going

    When the whistles blow
    And the cymbols crash
    And the sparklers light the sky
    I'm going to raise the roof
    I'm going to carry on
    Give me an old trombone
    Give me an old baton
    Before the parade passes by

    Before the parade passes by
    Listen and hear that brass harmony growing
    Before the parade passes by
    I'm going to get some life back into my life
    I'm ready to move out in front
    I've had enough of just passing by life

    When the whistles blow
    And the symbols crash
    And the sparklers light the sky
    I'm going to raise the roof
    I'm going to carry on
    Give me an old trombone
    Give me an old baton
    Before the parade passes by.....!!!

    Last Time
    Composer(s): Annie Lennox - David A. Stewart - Steven VanZandt
    Performer(s): Gary "U.S." Bonds



    Where does the time go baby?
    Seems like when I got here you were still a child
    Listen to me baby
    I would let the tears fall but that's not my style

    Next time I see you we'll be older
    And we'll be changed in ways we might not even see
    And we may grow apart instead of closer
    That's why tonight means everything to me

    This may be the last time
    Let's make it the best time
    May be the last time
    Let's make it the best time

    Look at me baby
    I wish I could answer all the questions in your eyes
    What matters baby
    Is that we look around and be proud of how we spent our lives

    Listen baby -I didn't get here by complaining
    And I'll be leaving the same way that I came
    In you I saw myself and for that I'm grateful
    I'm gonna make sure you remember my name

    This may be the last time
    Let's make it the best time
    May be the last time
    Let's make it the best time

    Next time I see you we'll be older
    And we'll be changed in ways we might not even see
    And we may grow apart instead of closer
    I just want to thank you for being here for me

    This may be the last time
    Let's make it the best time
    May be the last time
    Let's make it the best time

    Performer(s): Freddy Fender



    If he brings you happiness
    Then I wish you all the best
    It's your happiness, that matters most of all
    But it he ever breaks your heart
    If the teardrops ever start
    I'll be there, before the next teardrop falls
    Si te quiere de verdad
    Y te da felicidad
    Te deseo lo mas bueno pa' los dos
    Pero si te hace llorar
    A mi me puedes hablar
    Y estare contigo cuando triste estas

    I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
    To drive away every teardrop that you cried

    If he ever leaves you blue
    Just remember, I love you
    And I'll be there, before the next teardrop falls
    And I'll be there, before the next teardrop falls

    Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie
    Composer(s): Bob Dylan
    Performer(s): Bob Dylan



    When yer head gets twisted and yer mind grows numb
    When you think you're too old, too young, too smart or too dumb
    When yer laggin' behind an' losin' yer pace
    In a slow-motion crawl of life's busy race
    No matter what yer doing if you start givin' up
    If the wine don't come to the top of yer cup
    If the wind's got you sideways with with one hand holdin' on
    And the other starts slipping and the feeling is gone
    And yer train engine fire needs a new spark to catch it
    And the wood's easy findin' but yer lazy to fetch it
    And yer sidewalk starts curlin' and the street gets too long
    And you start walkin' backwards though you know its wrong
    And lonesome comes up as down goes the day
    And tomorrow's mornin' seems so far away
    And you feel the reins from yer pony are slippin'
    And yer rope is a-slidin' 'cause yer hands are a-drippin'
    And yer sun-decked desert and evergreen valleys
    Turn to broken down slums and trash-can alleys
    And yer sky cries water and yer drain pipe's a-pourin'
    And the lightnin's a-flashing and the thunder's a-crashin'
    And the windows are rattlin' and breakin' and the roof tops a-shakin'
    And yer whole world's a-slammin' and bangin'
    And yer minutes of sun turn to hours of storm
    And to yourself you sometimes say
    "I never knew it was gonna be this way
    Why didn't they tell me the day I was born"
    And you start gettin' chills and yer jumping from sweat
    And you're lookin' for somethin' you ain't quite found yet
    And yer knee-deep in the dark water with yer hands in the air
    And the whole world's a-watchin' with a window peek stare
    And yer good gal leaves and she's long gone a-flying
    And yer heart feels sick like fish when they're fryin'
    And yer jackhammer falls from yer hand to yer feet
    And you need it badly but it lays on the street
    And yer bell's bangin' loudly but you can't hear its beat
    And you think yer ears might a been hurt
    Or yer eyes've turned filthy from the sight-blindin' dirt
    And you figured you failed in yesterdays rush
    When you were faked out an' fooled white facing a four flush
    And all the time you were holdin' three queens
    And it's makin you mad, it's makin' you mean
    Like in the middle of Life magazine
    Bouncin' around a pinball machine
    And there's something on yer mind you wanna be saying
    That somebody someplace oughta be hearin'
    But it's trapped on yer tongue and sealed in yer head
    And it bothers you badly when your layin' in bed
    And no matter how you try you just can't say it
    And yer scared to yer soul you just might forget it
    And yer eyes get swimmy from the tears in yer head
    And yer pillows of feathers turn to blankets of lead
    And the lion's mouth opens and yer staring at his teeth
    And his jaws start closin with you underneath
    And yer flat on your belly with yer hands tied behind
    And you wish you'd never taken that last detour sign
    And you say to yourself just what am I doin'
    On this road I'm walkin', on this trail I'm turnin'
    On this curve I'm hanging
    On this pathway I'm strolling, in the space I'm taking
    In this air I'm inhaling
    Am I mixed up too much, am I mixed up too hard
    Why am I walking, where am I running
    What am I saying, what am I knowing
    On this guitar I'm playing, on this banjo I'm frailin'
    On this mandolin I'm strummin', in the song I'm singin'
    In the tune I'm hummin', in the words I'm writin'
    In the words that I'm thinkin'
    In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinkin'
    Who am I helping, what am I breaking
    What am I giving, what am I taking
    But you try with your whole soul best
    Never to think these thoughts and never to let
    Them kind of thoughts gain ground
    Or make yer heart pound
    But then again you know why they're around
    Just waiting for a chance to slip and drop down
    "Cause sometimes you hear'em when the night times comes creeping
    And you fear that they might catch you a-sleeping
    And you jump from yer bed, from yer last chapter of dreamin'
    And you can't remember for the best of yer thinking
    If that was you in the dream that was screaming
    And you know that it's something special you're needin'
    And you know that there's no drug that'll do for the healin'
    And no liquor in the land to stop yer brain from bleeding
    And you need something special
    Yeah, you need something special all right
    You need a fast flyin' train on a tornado track
    To shoot you someplace and shoot you back
    You need a cyclone wind on a stream engine howler
    That's been banging and booming and blowing forever
    That knows yer troubles a hundred times over
    You need a Greyhound bus that don't bar no race
    That won't laugh at yer looks
    Your voice or your face
    And by any number of bets in the book
    Will be rollin' long after the bubblegum craze
    You need something to open up a new door
    To show you something you seen before
    But overlooked a hundred times or more
    You need something to open your eyes
    You need something to make it known
    That it's you and no one else that owns
    That spot that yer standing, that space that you're sitting
    That the world ain't got you beat
    That it ain't got you licked
    It can't get you crazy no matter how many
    Times you might get kicked
    You need something special all right
    You need something special to give you hope
    But hope's just a word
    That maybe you said or maybe you heard
    On some windy corner 'round a wide-angled curve

    But that's what you need man, and you need it bad
    And yer trouble is you know it too good
    "Cause you look an' you start getting the chills

    "Cause you can't find it on a dollar bill
    And it ain't on Macy's window sill
    And it ain't on no rich kid's road map
    And it ain't in no fat kid's fraternity house
    And it ain't made in no Hollywood wheat germ
    And it ain't on that dimlit stage
    With that half-wit comedian on it
    Ranting and raving and taking yer money
    And you thinks it's funny
    No you can't find it in no night club or no yacht club
    And it ain't in the seats of a supper club
    And sure as hell you're bound to tell
    That no matter how hard you rub
    You just ain't a-gonna find it on yer ticket stub
    No, and it ain't in the rumors people're tellin' you
    And it ain't in the pimple-lotion people are sellin' you
    And it ain't in no cardboard-box house
    Or down any movie star's blouse
    And you can't find it on the golf course
    And Uncle Remus can't tell you and neither can Santa Claus
    And it ain't in the cream puff hair-do or cotton candy clothes
    And it ain't in the dime store dummies or bubblegum goons
    And it ain't in the marshmallow noises of the chocolate cake voices
    That come knockin' and tappin' in Christmas wrappin'
    Sayin' ain't I pretty and ain't I cute and look at my skin
    Look at my skin shine, look at my skin glow
    Look at my skin laugh, look at my skin cry
    When you can't even sense if they got any insides
    These people so pretty in their ribbons and bows
    No you'll not now or no other day
    Find it on the doorsteps made out-a paper mache´
    And inside it the people made of molasses
    That every other day buy a new pair of sunglasses
    And it ain't in the fifty-star generals and flipped-out phonies
    Who'd turn yuh in for a tenth of a penny
    Who breathe and burp and bend and crack
    And before you can count from one to ten
    Do it all over again but this time behind yer back
    My friend
    The ones that wheel and deal and whirl and twirl
    And play games with each other in their sand-box world
    And you can't find it either in the no-talent fools
    That run around gallant
    And make all rules for the ones that got talent
    And it ain't in the ones that ain't got any talent but think they do
    And think they're foolin' you
    The ones who jump on the wagon
    Just for a while 'cause they know it's in style
    To get their kicks, get out of it quick
    And make all kinds of money and chicks
    And you yell to yourself and you throw down yer hat
    Sayin', "Christ do I gotta be like that
    Ain't there no one here that knows where I'm at
    Ain't there no one here that knows how I feel
    Good God Almighty
    That Stuff Ain't Real"

    No but that ain't yer game, it ain't even yer race
    You can't hear yer name, you can't see yer face
    You gotta look some other place
    And where do you look for this hope that yer seekin'
    Where do you look for this lamp that's a-burnin'
    Where do you look for this oil well gushin'
    Where do you look for this candle that's glowin'
    Where do you look for this hope that you know is there
    And out there somewhere
    And your feet can only walk down two kinds of roads
    Your eyes can only look through two kinds of windows
    Your nose can only smell two kinds of hallways
    You can touch and twist
    And turn two kinds of doorknobs
    You can either go to the church of your choice
    Or you can go to Brooklyn State Hospital
    You'll find God in the church of your choice
    You'll find Woody Guthrie in Brooklyn State Hospital

    And though it's only my opinion
    I may be right or wrong
    You'll find them both
    In the Grand Canyon
    At sundown

    Before The Kiss
    Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult



    So grab your rose and ring side seat
    We're back home at Conry's bar
    The blond girl with her tattoo
    Reds and wine, cokes of course

    Oh my suzy, my suzy
    Why did we ever start
    It's morning now, you'd never know
    The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

    And underneath, the black light
    Underneath it all
    Four and forty redheads meet
    Come to doom 'til the dawn

    With threats of gas and rose motif
    Their lips apart like a swollen rose
    Their tongues extend, and then retract
    A redcap, a redcap, before the kiss, before the kiss

    Doors like flint and window panes
    An endless shadow bar
    The owner's boys have gone to work
    To stop big deals behind the bar

    While outside on the turnpike
    They got this new hit tune
    Where thrills become as cheap as gas
    And gas as cheap as thrills

    One thrill and mundane here at last
    Expect the cross one more
    Lecherous invisible
    Beware the limping cat

    Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws
    Still ripe and fully bloomed
    A rose that's not from anywhere
    That you would know or I would care

    And the owners boys act most cheerfully
    Back home at Conry's bar
    When their patrons' thoughts at last
    Grow too big for their skulls

    And awful things are happening
    We've let this drama fold
    And now the time has come at last
    To crush the motif of the rose

    So grab your rose and ring side seat
    We're back home at Conry's bar
    The blond girl with her tattoo
    Reds and wine, cokes of course

    Oh my suzy, my suzy
    Why did we ever start
    It's morning now, you'd never know
    The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

    Last Stand In Open Country
    Composer(s): Jim Cregan - Robin LeMesurier - Bernie Taupin - Dennis Tufano
    Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Kid Rock



    I was looking for America, in a western movie
    Saw a young gun slinger with something to prove
    And I came lookin'... like anybody else
    I came searchin'...like anybody else
    Lookin' for that golden calf

    And I came shooting for the stars, like any young blood
    I found a fat cat city and crooked judge
    I killed anything standing in my path
    I killed anything till I laid my hands
    Laid'em on the golden calf

    Now it's our last stand in open country
    This is my last chance to be with you
    This is the last dance fot this kind of man
    I'm still lookin' for something to prove

    I come around full circle, aged like an old dog
    Lookin' at them young bucks just green as frogs
    But I ain't layin' back no time to laugh
    I ain't layin' back
    There's new kids a comin' gunning for that golden calf

    I was looking for America in a western movie
    I saw pike bishop stridin' through aqua verde
    He was headin' down that dusty path
    Headin down that blood path
    Runnin from his crooked past
    He's lookin' for another life
    Sick of chasin' down that golden calf

    Now it's our last stand in open country
    This is my last chance to be with you
    This is the last dance fot this kind of man
    I'm still lookin' for something to prove

    But there's always someone faster
    Someone quicker on the draw
    Someone with a hunger closin' in
    Some younger steppin' up to be
    The next outlaw

    Now it's our last stand in open country
    This is my last chance to be with you
    This is the last dance fot this kind of man
    I'm still lookin' for something to prove

    Oh I'm still looking for something to prove
    This our last stand...
    This our last stand...
    This our last stand...
    This our last stand...

    Before The Deluge
    Composer(s): Jackson Browne
    Performer(s): Jackson Browne;
    Christy Moore; Moving Hearts



    Some of them were dreamers
    And some of them were fools
    Who were making plans and thinking of the future
    With the energy of the innocent
    They were gathering the tools
    They would need to make their journey back to nature
    While the sand slipped through the opening
    And their hands reached for the golden ring
    With their hearts they turned to each other’s heart for refuge
    In the troubled years that came before the deluge

    Some of them new pleasure
    And some of them knew pain
    And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
    And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
    They went flying around in the rain
    And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
    And in the end they traded their tired wings
    For the resignation that living brings
    And exchanged love’s bright and fragile glow
    For the glitter and the rouge
    And in the moment they were swept before the deluge

    Now let the music keep our spirits high
    And let the buildings keep our children dry
    Let creation reveal it’s secrets by and by
    By and by
    When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky

    Some of them were angry
    At the way the earth was abused
    By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
    And they struggled to protect her from them
    Only to be confused
    By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
    And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
    In the naked dawn only a few survived
    And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
    Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge

    Now let the music keep our spirits high
    And let the buildings keep our children dry
    Let creation reveal it’s secrets by and by
    By and by
    When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky

    Last Song
    Composer(s): Larry Evoy
    Performer(s): Edward Bear



    Did you know I'd go to sleep and leave the lights on?
    Hopin' you'd come by and know that I was home and still awake
    But two years go by and still my lights on
    This is hard for me to say but this is all that I can say...

    It's the last song I'll ever write for you
    It's the last time that I'll tell you just how much I really care
    This is the last song I'll ever sing for you
    You come looking for the light and it won't be there
    But I love you, oh, yes I do, yes I do

    All the times that I've spent waiting wondering where you are
    Always knew the time would come when I would start to wonder why
    Now the time is here, I don't know where you are
    So I'll write you one more song but it's the last time that I'll try

    It's the last song I'll ever write for you
    It's the last time that I'll tell you just how much I really care
    This is the last song I'll ever sing for you
    You come looking for the light and it won't be there
    But I love you, oh, yes I do, mmm mmm

    Before She Breaks My Heart
    Performer(s): Roger Whittaker



    I've lived over half my life
    And she's only just nineteen
    Will she wake up one day and find
    That she's really changed her mind
    And she's not in love with me

    Does she love the man I am
    Is it her Father that she sees
    She has time to be unsure
    For her there's time to find a cure
    But not for me

    So, before she breaks my heart
    I must say "go"
    Before she breaks my heart
    I must say "no"

    She can't stay (She can't stay)
    I must make her go away
    However hard she cries
    If I have to tell her lies
    Before she breaks my heart

    As I stand alone, I vow
    That today will be the day
    That I'll find the strength somehow
    To end it here and now
    To tell her she can't stay

    Then she'll walk into the room
    And her arms will open wide
    It's not a little girl I see
    But a woman, warm and free
    Who wants me by her side

    But before she breaks my heart
    I must say "go"
    Before she breaks my heart
    I must say "no"

    She can't stay (She can't stay)
    I must make her go away
    However hard she cries
    If I have to tell her lies
    Before she breaks my heart

    Before she breaks my heart

    Last Orders Please
    Composer(s): Ronnie Lane
    Performer(s): Faces



    Well, well, hello and how are you?
    Fancy seeing you here
    Don`t let it show
    No look, no one must know
    Why! They`re playing "Tracks Of My Tears"

    Just pretend its all over
    Like you have for so long
    I thought time was a healer
    But i guess I was wrong
    I am to blame
    But we were so young
    Oh, how was I to know?

    But you said you still want me
    You opened up an old wound
    Then you left me here bleeding
    And my minds black and blue
    Now you got yours, and I got mine
    And theres no debts or dues
    Oh, what can we do?

    Before My Time Is Up
    Composer(s): Gerard McMahon; David Katz
    Performer(s): Roger Daltrey



    Before the gods read my lifelong sentence
    Before I get my share
    Before I walk alone
    Before they take away my last temptation
    Before my heart’s deprived
    Before they call my name

    On the back fences of my dream line
    I never lost my mind
    I gave it all I had
    To get away with the whole damn big bang
    For the right reasons
    For what you can’t take back

    Until the drums stop beating
    Until the crossroads burn out
    I ain’t a man until I’ve done it all

    Before my time is up
    I’ll hang my name
    On every trial I’m due for
    And even if I can’t get justice
    I’ll take you down to hell
    Before my time is up
    I’ll leave no stone unturned
    I won’t regret my actions
    And even if my last words fail me
    I’ll be a better man
    Before my time is up

    I believe that the road goes somewhere
    Beyond the empty eyes
    Beyond the wasted land
    When it all fades away to nothing
    I wanna know I tried
    To take a real hard stand

    I gotta laugh at the whole damn big bang
    I’ve got to cry sometimes
    Got to love somebody
    Before they read my lifelong sentence
    Before I get my share
    Before I go alone
    Until the drums stop beating
    To where the crossroads burn out
    I ain’t a man until I’ve done it all

    Before my time is up
    I’ll hang my name
    On every trial I’m due for
    And even if I can’t get justice
    I’ll take you down to hell
    Before my time is up
    I’ll leave no stone unturned
    I won’t regret my actions
    Even if my last words fail me
    I’ll be a better man
    Before my time is
    Time is
    Time is up

    Even if my last words fail me
    I’ll be a better man
    Before my time is

    Before, before my time is up…
