Brothers In Arms
Italian Title: Fratelli Di Guerra
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Originally performed by: Dire Straits



These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms 

Let's Turn Out The Lights 
((French & Spanish Versions: Éteins La Lumière (Charles Aznavour); Apaga La Luz (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Joel Hirschhorn - Al Kasha
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Turn out the lights, we don't have to see
Let the darkness watch, over you and me
We don't need a light, just the flame within
It burns for us now, right beneath the skin

Turn out the lights, the darkness is our friend
It helps when we dream, and when we pretend
My finger will trace, every wwinding curve
Follow every line, every pulsing nerve
 
No one's in the street, no one walks the hall
We can watch our shadows moving on the wall
In tender silence, with the curtains drawn
We can keep on making love until the dawn

Turn out the lights
(Turn out the lights)
Talk without sound
Won't you stay all night
(All night)
Spin the world around
(Spin the world around)
My river is dry,  fill it with your touch
Let's turn out the light, I want you so much
 
(Let's turn out the lights)
No one's in the street, no one walks the hall
We can watch our shadows moving on the wall
In tender silence, with the curtains drawn
We can keep on making love until the dawn
 
Turn out the lights
(Turn out the lights)
Oh, talk without sound
Won't you stay all night
(Stay all night)
 Spin the world around
(Spin the world around)
My river is dry,  fill it with your touch
Let's turn out the lights, I want you so much
 
Ah, oh, aah, mmm, oooh, ah, ah, ah ah ah, oh, oh, mmm, oh, oh

Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?
Composer(s): Edgar "Yip" Harburg; Jay Gorney
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When their was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always their right on the job

They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime? 

Apaga La Luz
((English & French Versions: Let's Turn Out The Lights (Charles Aznavour); Éteins La Lumière (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Apaga la luz
jazmín y clavel
mis brazos en cruz
sueñan con tu piel
detén el reloj
ven cerca de mí
solos tú y yo
es mejor así

Apaga la luz
y en la oscuridad
de tu juventud
dáme la verdad
yo sé que París
duerme sin temor
mientras vis a vis
arde nuestro amor
tu mirar de raza
me iluminará
y un herén la casa
nos parecerá
y con ciego anhelo
yo te buscaré
y en tu negro pelo
me reclinaré

Apaga la luz
yo te haré saber
en esta quietud
todo mi querer
y con frenesí
loco de emoción
voy hacer de ti
mi mejor canción

Apaga la luz
es mas prudencial
que la noche azul
fuera del cristal
se llegue a morir
de curiosidad
por no descubrir
nuestra soledad

Apaga la luz
sin vacilación
y sin inquietud
a mi corazón
yo me he de sentir
lleno de ansiedad
tu sangre latir
de felicidad
si de madrugada
tiemblas de pavor
yo me ire al lado
te daré valor
y la sed ardiente
de mi gran amor
calmaré la fuente
de tu boca en flor

Apaga la luz
jazmín y clavel
mis brazos en cruz
sueñan con tu piel
apaga la luz
sal de juventud

Apaga la luz
solos yo y tú
apaga la luz
solos yo y tú
apaga la luz
solos yo y tú
apaga la luz

Brother Where You Bound
Composer(s): Rick Davies
Performer(s): Supertramp



There's a red cloud hanging over us
And it's so big and it's gonna burst
All you people with your heads in the ground
Hey brother, where you bound?

And they're no good and they're everywhere
Try to tell you, but you just don't care
Try to hear you but you don't make a sound
Hey brother, where you bound?
Hey brother, where you bound?

And you don't know what they're gonna do
And you don't know how they feel
And you don't know what they're tellin' you
Is it a lie or is it real
And the next thing that you know is
That they walk out on the deal

And the message that they're giving you
Is the same old alibi
If you don't quite see their point of view
Then they treat you like a spy
And the phone rings and you disappear
In the middle of the night

Can't you see they're on the move
Don't know what you're trying to prove
But you sit there oh so cool
Like they never broke no rules

And the cat flies and the crow walks
And the ghost dies and the sow talks
And they tell us that they'll be good as gold
B'lieve nothing that you're told
Hey brother, where's your soul?

Make a move in one direction
Try to make some compromise
But they greet you with rejection
Makin' out you're tellin' lies
Then they turn around and tell you
Better get down from the sky

For the sake of all that's holy
Listen good to what I say
I can feel them all around me
They could be here any day
But you act like you don't know me
Why d' you look at me that way

If there's one thing that is clear
We gotta get away from here
We've gotta leave this place
It's just a hopeless case
Ain't no one else to blame
We're gonna lose this game

Hey brother get off my back
I gotta tell you, you're way off the track
They got a hatred deep down inside
Ain't gonna let them take me alive
I'm gonna burn them down, just wait and see
Ain't gonna let them walk over me
Boy you ain't got no heart and soul
And your mind is weak and your blood's runnin' cold

You better move, you better hide
They're gettin' in, they're gettin' inside
If you get caught you better know
They're gonna reap, you're gonna sow
Don't be a fool, we gotta go
Ain't no place safe for us to stay
We better move on, we better move on 

Let's Think About Living
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Bob Luman
and multiple other artists



In every other song that I've heard lately
Some fellow gets shot
And his baby and his best friend both die with him
As likely as not
In half of the other songs
Some Cat's crying, or ready to die
We've lost most all of our happy people
And I'm wondering why

Let's think about living
Let's think about loving
Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin 
And the boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
And the shootin' and the dying
And the fellow with the switchblade knife
Let's think about living
Let's think about life

We lost old Marty Robbins
Down in old El Paso a little while back
And now Miss Patti Page, or one of them
Is a-wearing black
Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil
Where they feel like a-they could die
If we keep on a-losin' our singers like that
I'll be the only one you can buy

Let's think about living
Let's think about loving
Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin 
And the boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
And the shootin' and the dying
And the fellow with the switchblade knife
Let's think about living
Let's think about life

Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show 
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Originally performed by: Neil Diamond
Covered by various other artists



Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
Move up the road
To the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group
Telling you and me

It's Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show

Room gets suddenly still
And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal
And when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him

Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go
Half the valley shakes

It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show

Sermon

Take my hand in yours
Walk with me this day
In my heart, I know
I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle

It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Amen 

Let's Talk It Over
Composer(s): Ian MacMillan
Performer(s): Blue



As I sit here in my loneliness
Waiting for a friend to come, come to me
I remember days of happiness
And the way it used to be

All the emptiness you left behind
And the lonely tears I've cried, tried to hide
When you know I'm only trying to find
What I thought I had inside

Don't say it's over
Don't let it go
Let's talk it over
There's something I don't know

But now I realise I lost a friend
I should have known when it went wrong long ago
I just find it hard to understand
The way you let me know

Don't say it's over
Don't let it go
Let's talk it over
There's something I don't know
Don't say it's over
Don't let it go
Let's talk it over
There's something you should know

Brother Louie
French Title: Dis-Lui Pour Moi
Composer(s): Erroll Brown; Anthony Wilson
Originally performed by: Hot Chocolate
Covered by various other artists



She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight
Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When she took him home
To meet her mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood
Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie you're gonna cry
There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to meet his mama and papa
Man, he had a terrible fright
Louie nearly caused a scene
Wishin' it was a dream
Ain't no diff'rence between black and white
Brothers, you know what I mean
Louie Louie Louie

Let’s talk

If you got time to spare
I’ve got a heart to share
Anytime, or anywhere

All I got’s a one track mind

Let’s talk

Every single moment I’m alone
Feeling sad and blue
Only wanna grab the telephone
Call you up and make a date, at home, alone, with you

So turn the lights down low
Let’s watch a tv show
Cuddle up and whaddaya know

Brother Heart
Composer(s): Gary Kemp
Performer(s): Gary Kemp



When the colours of life seep out of your day
and the truth that was standing is now crumbling away
when the question is why does it spread like disease? 
And your rivers run dry, but you’re sunk to your knees

When the sun brings the priest running over the fields 
and you’re sick to your soul of the lies and the deals 
When the moon brings the bleeding of a town in its fate
and there’s no room for dreaming in the shelter of faith
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart

When the lines of partition slash a scar through your breed
and the mouths of agreement are all muted by greed
When the lie of the land rolls into your night
look into your soul and look for the light
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart

Fly the wings of hope, take the branch to the dove
change the story line, find the truth up above
but when God seems to sleep and misses your life
and your prayers fall to earth like shells in the night
let your broken heart weep and bleed for what’s right
look into your soul and look for the light
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart 

Let's Take The Long Way Home
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Let’s take the long way home
Let’s look for the long way home
And on the way, let’s pretend
That this wonderful night won’t end
Through Asia would be much too soon
We’ll circle once around the moon
Our dream boat will carry us across the foam

We’ll take the long way, make sure it’s the wrong way
Let’s take the long was home
Shall we fly through the night
Shall we dream as we go?
See the star on your right 
See the farm down below?
The whole trip it appears
Only takes a million years
If you’re in the mood to roam
Then let’s take the long way home

Brother
Composer(s): Rosalie Van Leer; Thijs Van Leer
Performer(s): Focus



I've never been unhappy or alone
Each day daylight came back

I always watched the stars
Not thinking space big and dark

Rains always were my friend
The wind knew all my secrets

Brother do you know that the times are hard
Do you wanna see my eyes
Make a start
'Cause brother do you see that the times are hard
I need love

I do not fear the shadows of trees
But city shadows don't move

I saw a child of God. He was
Someday to grow into the world

Brother do you know that the times are hard
Do you wanna see my eyes
Make a start
'Cause brother do you see that the times are hard
I need love 

Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Eddie Albert & Allyn McLerie 
and multiple other artists



Some couples go for a buggy ride when they start caring a lot
Others will bicycle side by side out to some romantic spot
But when you haven't a sou, there's only one thing to do....

Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk
What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk
Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark
And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old fashioned walk

I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart
I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind
She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk

I used to dream of a millionaire, handsome and rich from the States
Taking me out for a breath of air, saying, "The carriage awaits"
But since you haven't a sou and I have nothing to do....

Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk
What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk
Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark
And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old fashioned walk

I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart
I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind
She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk

Let's Have A Georgia Honeymoon
Composer(s): Carter Benson - Bobby Lee



When I hear those wedding chimes 
It makes me think of happy times 
Let me take you, glad they'll make you
Way down in Savannah town
Honey pack your trunk and things
Let's go price some diamond rings
Just received the word today
Listen what the home folk says

Dear, the roses are a bloom 
I can smell their sweet perfume
Birds are singing, bells are ringing
Here's the message that they bring 
Love me honey, love me long
Life with you is like a song 
Let me rest up on your breast down in 
Dixie Loving nest

Come down, why don't you 
Come down 
Why don't you 
Come on down to old Savannah
Be there, oh honey see there old Aunt Mandy in her red bandanna
When the preacher joins you hand in hand
They're going to serenade you with a big brass band
Come down, why don't you come down 
Let's have a Georgia Honeymoon

Brooklyn Roads
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Jane Olivor



If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin', "Neil, go find your brother
Daddy's home, and it's time for supper
Hurry on"

And I see two boys
Racin' up two flights of staircase
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Where's it gone
Oh, where's it gone

Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And I looked out of those
Brooklyn roads

I can still recall
The smells of cookin' in the hallways
Rubbers drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always
Afraid to show

Mama'd come to school
And as I'd sit there softly crying
Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying
He's got a good head if he'd apply it"
But you know yourself
It's always somewhere else

I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads

Thought of going back
But all I'd see are stranger's faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks through thoses places
I'm wonderin'
What's come of them

Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads 

Let's Take A Walk Around The Block
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Ira Gerswin - E.Y. Harburg
First performance/First recording by: Dixie Dunbar & Earl Oxford - 1934/Richard Himber & His Orch. - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



I never traveled further North 
Than old Van Courtland Park
And never further South than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City
But first let me remark
I saw it from the empire state solarium

But we've been putting nickels 
In the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up 
We can toddle off in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin de-luxe tour

Someday we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant
But at present
Let's take a walk around the block

You're just the companion
I want at Grand Canyon
for throwing old blades down the rock
The money we have`ll go for travel
Meantime, let's walk around the block

Gangway, we'll begin
When our, ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap
All over the map

To London in May time
To Venice in play time
To Paris in time for a frock
To Boston in bean time
Darling, meantime
Let's take a walk around the block

In Winter at Christmas
We'll visit the isthmus
And see how they lock up a lock
And then in Caracas, on a jackass
We'll take a ride around the block

We'll keep to our promise
To visit St. Thomas
And then at Jamaica we'll dock
The prospect is thrilling
Still I am willing
Just now to walk around the block

Onward, to Cathay
Then to Mandalay
Boom on to Bangkok
Perhaps Vladivostok

We'll send the folks cables
Accumulate labels
Buy souvenirs till we're in hock
But since we are flat in old Manhattan
Let's take a walk around the block
