Up and down that road in our worn out shoes Talkin bout good thangs, singin the blues You went your way, I stayed behind We both knew it was justa matter of time
Youre livin our dream, wo you on top My mind is achin, Lord it wont stop Thats how it happens livin life by the drop
No wasted time, were alive today Churnin up the past, theres no easier way Times been between us, a means to an end God its good to be here walkin together my friend
Were livin our dreams My minds stopped achin Thats how it happens livin life by the drop Thats how it happens livin life by the drop Thats how it happens livin life by the drop
Burning Memories Composer(s): Mel Tillis; Wayne Walker Performer(s): Ray Price
Tonight I'm burning old love letters Photographs and memories of you Hoping somehow I'll feel better And when the smoke is gone, I won't want you
Burning mem'ries Burning mem'ries Memories of you that I can't lose
My heart to you no longer matters And I can't live alone on memories Into the fire those dreams you shattered And when the smoke is gone, then I'll be free
Burning mem'ries Burning mem'ries Memories of you that I can't lose
Je Te Pardonne ((Adapted from: Baby, I Love You (by The Ronettes) - 1963)) Composer(s): Jeff Barry - Ellie Greenwich - Phil Spector - Georges Aber Performer(s): Les Surfs - 1964
Oh oh... J'ai cru depuis toujours Que tu reviendrais un jour Et j'avais raison d'espérer
Quand tu m'as dit: pardonne-moi Je m'ennuyais loin de toi Il était fou de se quitter Alors tu dois lui pardonner
Life Begins At The Hop Composer(s): Colin Moulding Performer(s): XTC
I have learnt there's a magical spot at the hop Come with me to the church on the corner, the hop There's nuts and crisps and ccc cola on tap A good time had by the boys and girls at the hop
Tell me what do you say Tell me what do you say
Life begins at the hop, boys and girls
Prepare yourself for the boys in the band at the hop The cheap guitars, too young for the bars at the hop We'll jive around, make fools of ourselves then stop Back next week with another ridiculous tie knot
Burning Heart Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frankie Sullivan Performer(s): Survivor
Two worlds collide Rival nations It's a primitive clash Venting years of frustrations Bravely we hope Against all hope There is so much at stake Seems our freedom's up Against the ropes Does the crowd understand? Is it East versus West Or man against man Can any nation stand alone CHORUS In the burning Heart Just about to burst There's a quest for answers An unquenchable thirst In the darkest night Rising like a spire In the burning heart The unmistakable fire In the burning heart
In the warriors code There's no surrender Though his body says stop His spirit cries - never! Deep in our soul A quiet ember Know it's you against you It's the paradox That drives us on It's a battle of wills In the heat of attack It's the passion that kills The victory is yours alone
Life Begins At Forty Composer(s): Jack Yellen - Ted Shapiro Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
I've often heard it said and sung That life is sweetest when you're young And kids, sixteen to twenty-one Think they're having all the fun I disagree, I say it isn't so And I'm one gal who ought to know I started young and I'm still going strong But I've learned as I've gone along.......
That life begins at forty That's when love and living start to become a gentle art A woman who's been careful finds that's when she's in her prime And a good man when he's forty knows just how to take his time
Conservative or sporty, it's not until you're forty That you learn the how and why and the what and when In the twenties and the thirties you want your love in large amounts But after you reach forty, it's the quality that counts
Yes, life begins at forty And I've just begun to live all over again
You see the sweetest things in life grow sweeter as the years roll on Like the music from a violin that has been well played upon And the sweetest smoke is from a mellow, broken and old pipe And the sweetest tasting peach is one that's mature, round and ripe
In the twenties and the thirties you're just an amateur But after you reach forty, that's when you become a connoisseur Then it isn't grab and get it and a straight line for the door You're not hasty, you're tasty, you enjoy things so much more
For instance, a novice gulps his brandy down, he doesn't understand Observe a connoisseur, the way he holds it in his hand How he strokes the glass, fondles it, warms it as he should Smaks his lips, aahhh, slowly sips, hah, boy, it tastes good
Life begins at forty Then it isn't hit and run and you find much more fun You romance a girl of twenty and it costs you all your dough But when a forty thanks you, she hates to see you go
And girls of twenty, all they want are big men Big men with strong physiques I don't say that it's bad But you do get tired of those damn Greeks
Life begins at forty And I'm just living all over again
Burning Down The House Composer(s): David Byrne; Chris Frantz; Jerry Harrison; Tina Weymouth Performer(s): Talking Heads and various other artists
Watch out, you might get what you're after Cool babies, strange but not a stranger I'm an ordinary guy Burning down the house
Hold tight, wait till the party's over Hold tight, We're in for nasty weather There has got to be a way Burning down the house
Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard The transportation is here Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are Fightin' fire with fire
All wet, hey you might need a raincoat Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself Gonna come in first place People on their way to work baby what did you except Gonna burst into flame
My house, S'out of the ordinary That's might, Don't want to hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet Everything's stuck together I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set Fighting fire with fire
Life And Breath Composer(s): Sonny Geraci - Walter Nims Performer(s): Climax
"If you believe in dreams enough Then they'll believe in you" That's what she used to tell me So I know it must be true
So day after day I'm dreaming You'll come back to me 'Cause you are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you
I'll buy your favourite flowers From the lady down the street And hurry to the corner Where we always used to meet
And night after night I sit and watch the curtains falling You are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you
They say I should be forgetting you But how can I forget the moon and the stars Or the heavens of blue 'Cause they're all just a part of you
"If you believe in love enough Love will never die" That's what you used to tell me So I know it's not a lie
So time after time I come here and I wait for you I guess I'll always wait for you 'Cause you are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you Oh, you are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you Yeah, you are life and breath to me All of the rest of me depends on you Yeah, you ...
Burning Down One Side Composer(s): Robbie Blunt; Robert Plant; Jezz Woodroffe Performer(s): Robert Plant
Slipped through the window by the back door Caught short in transit with my love Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance How could I fall without a shove Tip-toed like thunder on my feelings You rock me gently with your sighs My knees are weak - my head is reeling Consumed by the fire in your eyes Stepped in and shattered my defences Just playing hookey with my heart Slipped through the window by the back door And took the keys to my poor heart, yes my poor heart
Try as I might - try as I may Yes I'll try anything to make you stay Cause I need your love - yes I need your love I'm looking high - I'm looking low, Can't find where did my baby go Gotta find out why she ran away I don't know where did my baby stay Try as I might - try as I may Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour Shoot through the neon in the night Hot foot through alleys - check the doorways Try that old parking lot on Ninth There's three-course kissing in the same place But that don't help me out no more I've been away so long and dreaming Little girl ain't I seen you before
Lieve Heer, Heb Medelij Composer(s): Rocco Granata Performer(s): Willem Barth
Lalala...
Als twee mensen altijd wensen saam te zijn Heel hun leven liefde geven, zonneschijn Worden zij soms bang voor wat eens komen zou Dan hoor je hun smeken overal
Lieve heer, heb medelij Hou voor ons een plaatsje vrij Wij willen zo dolgraag altijd samen zijn Eenmaal klimmen wij omhoog Samen langs de regenboog Schrijft u nu vast op hoe onze namen zijn
Lieve heer, heb medelij Eenmaal is het hier voorbij Zet u niemand boven tussen haar en mij De tijd die gaat maar voort Eens wacht de hemelpoort Maak ons dan blij en hou een plaatsje vrij
Lalala...
Veel van waarheid op deze aarde raak je kwijt Je verdwijnt, er komt een einde, hoogste tijd Moederziel alleen maak je je laatste reis En dan zoek je naar een paradijs
Lieve heer, heb medelij Hou voor ons een plaatsje vrij Wij willen zo dolgraag altijd samen zijn Eenmaal klimmen wij omhoog Samen langs de regenboog Schrijft u nu vast op hoe onze namen zijn
Lieve heer, heb medelij Eenmaal is het hier voorbij Zet u niemand boven tussen haar en mij De tijd die gaat maar voort Eens wacht de hemelpoort Maak ons dan blij en hou een plaatsje vrij
Burning Bridges Composer(s): Mike Curb; Lalo Schifrin Originally performed by: Mike Curb Congregation
Friends all tried to warn me But I held my head up high All the time they warned me But I only passed them by They all tried to tell me But I guess I didn't care I turned my back and Left them standing there
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore
Joey tried to help me find a job A while ago When I finally got it I didn't want to go The party Mary gave for me When I just walked away Now there's nothing left for me to say
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore
Years have passed and I keep thinking What a fool I've been I look back into the past and Think of way back then I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win I guess I should have listened to my friends
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore
Lies (Through The 80's) Composer(s): David "Fathead" Newman Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band
We're all gonna live out the Hollywood dream Everything's gonna be just what it seems Gonna find a better way to run our cars All through the Eighties 'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars All through the Eighties The Video Screen will open up the door All through the Eighties Information - there'll be more and more All through the Eighties Will the man on the street finally know the score
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
The play's been written we'll all be in the cast All through the Eighties And our feet are gonna point away from the past All through the Eighties Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
Time will go and the years fly by All through the Eighties And we'll have another slice of American Pie All through the Eighties Credit card living, push button cash All through the Eighties We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash All through the Eighties And another generation will "Talk about their Generation"
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot) I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say ...
Burnin' Bush Composer(s): Jerry Peters Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire
What does it take to show an illustration Of the hurt and the pain of a nation One glowing look upon a ragged canvas Tells the story of our past and present situation
That old bush just keeps on burning Nobody seems to show they're learning That old bush just keeps on burning I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Our way of life on total exhibition Shows the way in which we live of an Imperfect nation This tree of life so far from perfeciton Share a little love to improve our situation
That old bush just keeps on burning Share the hope for future learning I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Flow of light could really stand a listen Bring the dark to the light, show us What we've been missing Not many men are satisfied Without no light, there ain't no pride
There's gonna come a time Things that are on your mind Trust and you will find Everything in your mind True love is here to find Simple as number 9 Multiply you will find Peace and love all the time
But I'm Not Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Don't you ever change your mind Don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not
If I take you to a dance Don't let me catch you holding hands With other boys They think I'm cruel Well I'm not You might think that I'm being cruel But I'm not
It's worth a little thought to think Of how I fought for you Even so you know I caught for you Every bad dream you had and threw them away There'll come a day When I know you will say All the things I said to you Were the best things too
So don't you ever change your mind And don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not, no no no no You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not
It's worth a little thought to think Of how I fought for you Even so you know I caught for you Every bad dream you had and threw them away There'll come a day When I know you will say All the things I said to you Were the best things too
So don't you ever change your mind And don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not, no no no no You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not

Burned Composer(s): Neil Young Originally performed by: Buffalo Springfield Covered by various other artists
Been burned and with both feet on the ground I've learned that it's painful comin' down No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down Crashed, and my ears can't hear a sound No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Burned and with both feet on the ground I've learned that it's painful comin' down No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Do I have to come right out and say it
(Neil Young): Do I have to come right out and say it Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? If it was a game I could play it Trying to make it but I'm losing time I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind
Chorus: Indecision is crowding me I have no room to spare And I can't believe she cared Like a dream she has taken me And now I don't know where And a part of me is scared The part of me I shared Once before Do I have to come right out and say it Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
Chorus Do I have to come right out and say it, girl Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? If it was a game I could play it Trying to make it but I'm losing time I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind Do I have to come right out and say it, girl Tell you that you look so fine?
