You Don't Need A License For That Composer(s): Fred E. Cliffe - George Formby Performer(s): George Formby
If you've a pub or a small hotel You need a license for all you sell! Huh, you may think I'm romancin' But they even tax you for singin' and dancin'!
You need a license, whatever you do One or two things they've exempted, it's true Lumbago, the gout, or a touch o' the 'flu You don't need a license for that!
Now I've got a license for chickens to lay One of them sat on a brick yesterday And then started cluckin', as much as to say "He-he! You won't need a license for that!"
We've had a good time A "wines in the wood" time if it were duty free We'd cut the taxes With our battleaxes Then roll out the barrel for me!
There is much license, you bet on your life If you keep a cow, then there's trouble and strife! As farmer Dean said when he looked at his wife "By gum, I'll not need a license for that!"
You need a license for shootin' down game But I'd rather flirt with a beautiful dame 'Cause I get the sport with the birds just the same And I don't need a license for that!
We sit in the pictures, as warm as a glove In the back row of the circle above Two bobs' worth of dark and a basin of love And I don't need a license for that!
We've had a good time A "wines in the wood" time if it were duty free We'd cut the taxes With our battleaxes Then roll out the barrel for me!
Fishing at Richmond is licensed by law A chap to his girl said, "Now you hold your jaw! He-he! You know exactly what I'm fishing for And I don't need a license for that, no sir! And I don't need a license for that!
Romance In The Dark Composer(s): Big Bill Broonzy - Lillian "Lil" Green Performer(s): Dinah Washington & Fred Norman & his Orch. and multiple other artists
In the dark it's just you and I There's not a sound and there's not one sigh Just the beat of my poor heart In the dark
Now in the dark I get such a thrill Well well, when he places his fingertips upon my lips And he begs me, "Please keep still!" In the dark
But soon this dance will be endin, And you're gonna, you're gonna be missed! Gee but I'm not pretending 'Cause I swear it's fun, it's fun to be kissed!
In the dark, in the dark now we will find Oh, what the rest, what the rest have left behind! Just let them dance 'Cause we're gonna find romance In the dark!
Lookin' Up Lookin' Down Composer(s): Shawn Phillips Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below So slow I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below So slow Sure would like to know what you been thinkin' But I don't want to know when you been sinkin' Go slow
You see yourself in a coffee cup But you cannot stimulate the future up Go slow
Every time I'm doin' a number I'm thinkin' that I see your eyes I keep crossing over borderlines Seein' little babies die And even though I'm economizing I can't keep your high livin' style, child It takes so long to believe it, Charlie But what have you done to your smile?
I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below Go slow The alternative to truth is hypocrisy If you want to choose the latter you won't never be free Go slow Ain't no such thing as revolution It's got another name It's called evolution Go slow Part of being free is a state of mind You just got to learn to leave it all behind Go slow
Bara Hon Älskar Mig Composer(s): Stephan Berg First performance by: Blond - 1997
Jag ser en flicka dansa genom natten Ler så alla hjärtan stannar Fast jag har vandrat genom eld och vatten Rör hon mig som ingen annan Och om hon faller för mig förändras allt Om hon ser att den man hon väntar på Det är jag Det kan bli hon och jag
Bara hon älskar mig Får jag den ängel hela himlen saknar Och den enda kvinna jag vill ha igen Bara hon älskar mig Blir jag den man hon ser i sina drömmar Alla andra har förlorat Hon kan aldrig älska utan mig
Jag vågar inte möta hennes blickar Visa att mitt hjärta brinner Hur ska jag nånsin fånga denna flicka Fråga innan hon försvinner Fast andra män kunde dö för hennes skull Så förstår jag att ingen ser Vad hon vill ha Det gör bara jag
Bara hon älskar mig Får jag den ängel hela himlen saknar Och den enda kvinna jag vill ha igen Bara hon älskar mig Blir jag den man hon ser i sina drömmar Alla andra har förlorat Hon kan aldrig älska utan mig
Jag har inget kvar att leva för Ingenting är värt nåt om inte vi finner varandra Vi blir ett
Bara hon älskar mig Får jag den ängel hela himlen saknar Och den enda kvinna jag vill ha igen Bara hon älskar mig Blir jag den man hon ser i sina drömmar Alla andra har förlorat Hon kan aldrig älska utan
Bara hon älskar mig Blir jag den man hon ser i sina drömmar Hon kan aldrig älska utan mig
Playback First performance by: Carlos Paiao - 1981
Podes não saber cantar Nem sequer assobiar Com certeza que não vais desafinar Em play-back, em play-back, em play-back!
Só precisas de acertar Não tem nada que enganar E, assim mesmo, sem cantar vais encantar Em play-back, em play-back, em play-back!
Põe o microfone à frente Muito disfarçadamente Vai sorrindo, que é p'ra gente Lá presente Não notar!...
Em play-back tu és alguém Mesmo afónico cantas bem... Em play-back A fazer play-back E viva o play-back Hás-de sempre cantar bem Em play-back, respirar p'ra quê? Quem não sabe também não vê... Em play-back A fazer play-back E viva o play-back Dá p'ra toda uma soirée!..
Abre a boca, fecha a boca Não te enganes, não te esganes Vais Ter uma apoteose Põe-te em pose P´ra agradar!... Em play-back é que tu és bom A cantar sem fugir do tom... Em play-back A fazer play-back E viva o play-back Hás-de sempre cantar bem Com play-back até pedem bis Mas decerto, dirás feliz... Em play-back A fazer play-back E viva o play-back Agradeces e sorris

Here is my guitar from Barcelona Full of the soul of ancient Spain Born of a tree in Catalonia And of that mainly rainy plain
You'll like her form, gracious and slender The sunny color of her skin. You'll love her voice, mellow and tender Her fiery beat will make you spin
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la
I well remember when I met her Hung in a showcase upside down Right then and there I had to get her From that old shop in Brussels town Adios Espania and seguidillas Adios toreros full of flame No more sombreros and mantillas Sister Adele shall be her name
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la
One shiny day I heard God's calling Oh yes, my Lord if You say so! I packed my bags without much stalling Took my quitar and said, Let's go! Ever since then through every weather Sister Adele stays at my side Day in, day out, we sing together Praising the Lord far and wide.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sister Adele is never lonely She helps me keep my hope up high God is her love, her one and only I know he voice can reach the sky Someday up there God be willing I'll be a guest in the great hall. And for the dance won't it be thrilling Sister Adele will lead the ball!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Soul Of The Sea Composer(s): Nancy Wilson - Ann Wilson Performer(s): Heart
Today you looked around to my heart's call This tiny life ain't been strangled after all Time, time, time, time Never ask what's become of us Just dedicate your sorrow Here and now To the soul of the sea And me
Rushin' to me You turned around to my song's call You dreamer in the sand Just lie there laughing til the fall Kindest lover I can't stay alone tonight Bring me all your love Here and now Come rushin' to me
Wake up late Without a smile Telephone rings You run like a child On the street Into the day The people I meet Have nothing to say
No smile No sorrow No laughter No tomorrow They talk hen to hen They talk about their men And practice all the tricks for them Too soon nightime's coming on Deep in the darkness feeling alone
No rain No seed No dreams No silence Far away today Mama ocean hold me to you Rock me on your waves And tell me... Is it all true?
Time, time, time, time Never ask what's become of us Dedicate your sorrow Here and now To the soul the sea and me
C'était une guitare espagnole Née d'un bouleau ou d'un sapin Dans une boutique de Barcelone Un beau matin du mois de juin Au fond du coeur une étiquette Indique son identité Et sa parole chaude et discrète Était bien douce à écouter
Dans une vitrine du vieux Bruxelles On la suspendit par le cou Puis certain jour une demoiselle S'en vint l'acheter pour quelques sous Adieu flamencos chauds d'Espagne Andalousie et corridas Jolie guitare, ma compagne Adèle tu t'appeleras
Pour répondre à la voix divine Qui l'invitait à sa moisson La pérsonnelle - c'est moi - quitta la ville Pour un couvent des environs Adèle partit dans les bagages Et commença son noviciat Joyeuse et pleine de courage Et chanta Dieu à pleine voix
Sur tous les tons de toute son âme Adèle s'est vouée au Seigneur Et ses chansons partout proclament Que servir Dieu c'est son bonheur Derrière les harpes et les cithares Qui forment l'orchestre des cieux On entendra, humble guitare Un jour, Adèle, chez le Bon Dieu

Lookin' For Love Composer(s): Wanda Mallette - Bob Morrison - Pat Ryan First release by: Johnny Lee - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you Single bars and good time lovers were never true Playin' a fools game, hopin' to win Tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again
I was lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Hopin' to find a friend and a lover I'll bless the day I discover Another heart lookin' for love
I was alone then, no love in sight An' I did everything I could to get me through the night Don''t know where it started or where it might end I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend
I was lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Hopin' to find a friend and a lover I'll bless the day I discover Another heart lookin' for love
You came a knockin' at my heart's door You're everything I've been lookin' for
No more lookin' for love In all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Now that I found a friend and a lover God bless the day I discovered you
Oh you, lookin' for love In all the wrong places (Lookin' for love) in too many faces Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces Of what I'm dreamin' of Now that I've found a friend and a lover God bless the day I discovered you Oh you, lookin' for love In all the wrong places ...
Soul On Fire Composer(s): Lavern Baker Performer(s): Lavern Baker
Well I could play with Tom, Dick, and Harry but for me you're the only one Who makes me me shiver, makes me tingle, and who brings my loving down
I played the love game before I met him It's a game I've always won but now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun
With other boyfriends, the good-time men friends I still had to walk this road all by myself I was their play girl, a careless gay girl but I put them all on the shelf
I found my true love with you forever and my life has just begun cause now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun
Good bye to play boys those hey hey hey boys good bye to everyone but you my love no more heart aches no more heart breaks I swear by all the stars above, well on my soul, my love, my heart I'll miss you darling from now on Cause now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun
Soeur Anne Composer(s): Michel Emer Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois des soldats couverts d'armes Tout prêts à mourir et à tuer Partout, je ne vois que des larmes Le monde semble s'y habituer Je vois, plus violente que la peste La haine couvrir l'horizon Les hommes se déchirent, se détestent Frontières, mitrailleuses, prisons L'amour, qui n'a plus rien à faire Viens de nous quitter à son tour Sur terre, il était solitaire L'amour a besoin de l'amour
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois des enfants sans leur mère Je vois des parents sans enfants Et des paysans sans leurs terres Je vois des terres sans paysans Je vois des grandes maisons vides Et de grands vides dans les maisons Des gens au visage livide Qui marchent sans chanter de chansons Des hommes qui essaient de sourire Des femmes au regard si peureux Des vieux qui ne savent plus rire Des jeunes qui sont déjà vieux
Sur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir?
Je vois une grande lumière Qui semble venir de très loin Je vois un enfant et sa mère Mon Dieu, qu'ils sont loin, qu'ils sont loin... Voici qu'ils s'approchent de la terre L'enfant a grandi, je le vois Il vient partager nos misères Déjà, il apporte sa croix Bientôt, sa divine colère Chassera le démon pour toujours Bientôt reviendra sur la terre La vie, la pitié et l'amour
