Lotta Love Composer(s): Neil Young First release by: Neil Young - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
La La La La La La La La La Ooh, Ooh
It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far So if you look in my direction And we don't see eye to eye My heart needs protection and so do I
It's gonna take a lotta love To get us thru the night It's gonna take a lotta love To make things work out right So if you are out there waitin' I hope you show up soon 'Cause my heart needs relaxing not solitude
Gotta lotta love Gotta lotta love La La La La La La La La La Ooh, Ooh
It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far Or we won't get too far (Repeat) ...
Ariel Composer(s): Dean Friedman Performer(s): Dean Friedman
Way on the other side of the Hudson Deep in the bosom of suburbia I met a young girl she sang mighty fine Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria Standing by the water fall in Paramus Park She was working for the friends of Bai She was collecting quarters in a paper cup She was looking for change and so was I
She was a Jewish girl I fell in love with her She wrote her number on the back of my hand I called her up, I was all out of breath I said, "Come hear me play in my rock and roll band" I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans I picked her up in my new V double U van She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath I said "Hi" She said, "yeah, I guess I am" Ariel, Ariel
We had a little time, we were real hungry We went to Dairy Queen for something to eat She had some onion rings, she had a pickle She forgot to tell me how she didn't eat meat I had a gig in the American Legion hall It was a dance for the Volunteer Ambulance Corps She was sitting in a corner against the wall She would smile and I melted all over the floor Ariel, Ariel
I took her home with me, we watched some TV Annette Funicello and some guy going steady I started fooling around with the verticle hold We got the munchies so I made some spaghetti We sat and we talked into the night While channel 2 was signing off the air I found the softness of her mouth We made love, the bombs bursting in air Ariel, Ariel Ariel, Ariel
Way on the other side of the Hudson Deep in the bosom of suburbia I met a young girl She sang mighty fine Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Lots Of Luck Composer(s): Eddie Miller Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
My heart will break as I watch you go But your kind of love is hard to hold It seems you and I are losing touch So I'll wish you love And honey lots of luck
Well lots of luck and a big goodbye And you can't say I didn't try It well could be that I tried too much And that's why you're leavin But honey lots of luck
Ah Leon
Now you want love and a big gold mine Well that combination is hard to find Cause money don't always walk with luck But you can go looking And honey lots of luck
Well lots of luck and a big goodbye And you can't say I didn't try It well could be that I tried too much And that's why you're leavin But honey lots of luck

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-sur 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
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 knowstart 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"

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

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
Ive 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 wouldnt 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, Id use the power at my command
Thats why theres always tomorrow, to start over again Things will never stay the same, the only one sure thing is change Thats why theres always tommorow
I guess it took a little time, for me to see The reason I was born into this world And what Id have to go through For Ive finially realized, that I could beinfinitely better than before, defintely stronger Ill face whatever comes my way, savor each moment of the day Love as many people as I can along the way Help someone whos given up, if its just to raise my eyes and pray
Thats why theres always tomorrow, to start over again Things will never stay the same, the only one sure thing is change Thats why theres always tommorow
Before your last setting sun And everything your heart has longed for Has yet to be (one) Yes theres always tomorrow though people come and they go But if you,ve brought some love to their lives Then youve got something to show
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
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)
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
