Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned to see her son Louis leavin' home The angels laid him away The angels laid him away they laid him six feet under the clay The angels laid him away Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned to see her son Louis leavin' home The angels laid him away Oh, Bob shot once and Louis shot too shot poor Collins, shot him through and through The angels laid him away Oh, kind friends, oh, ain't it hard? to see poor Louis in a new graveyard The angels laid him away The angels laid him away they laid him six feet under the clay The angels laid him away Oh, when they heard that Louis was dead all the people they dressed in red The angels laid him away The angels laid him away they laid him six feet under the clay The angels laid him away Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned to see her son Louis leavin' home The angels laid him away The angels laid him away they laid him six feet under the clay The angels laid him away
Ariane Composer(s): Maurice Bourdet Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Toutes les portes se ressemblent Quelque part dans ce grand ensemble Ariane, Ariane m'attend Maudite soit ma maladresse J'ai perdu sa nouvelle adresse Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Toutes les portes se ressemblent Les escaliers montent ou descendent Selon le sens où on les prend Les judas me font la grimace Je vais, je cours, les heures passent Au fil du temps l'amour se casse Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Toutes les portes se ressemblent Mais à tant crier il me semble Qu'Ariane, qu'Ariane m'entend Escalier cent-soixante-quatre Mon coeur va-t-il cesser de battre Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Ariane, vois ma triste posture Devant ces portes d'imposture Ariane, ouvre-moi, je t'entends Mais luit où tant je tambourine J'entrouvre et soudain je devine Ce n'est qu'une télé-speakerine Qui parle, qui parle du temps
Je veux hurler mais ma voix tremble Je pleure et je ris tout ensemble Ariane, Ariane m'attend Devant ces mille et une portes Je sens que la colère m'emporte Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Ariane, tu ne peux pas paraître Il me reste un moyen peut-être Nous verrons bien si cela prend Par l'allumette que j'enflamme J'en fonds cet ensemble sans âme Le feu fera surgir la femme Ariane, Ariane, Ariane, Ariane Ariane, Ariane, Ariane...
Dans Met Mij Tot Morgenvroeg Performer(s): Willy Sommers
Je mag eindelijk met mij uitgaan Maar je moet weg voor middernacht Toch laat ik je niet naar huis gaan Voor het einde van de nacht
Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg Dans met mij de hele nacht Kom neem m'n hand en dans met mij Neem de tijd en voel je vrij Wees gelukkig tot de morgendauw
Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg Dans met mij de hele nacht Wie weet wat ik nog meer verzin Voor een nieuwe dag begint Zeg ik beslist nog wel 'Ik hou van jou'
Kijk het is al middernacht Men heeft vergeefs op jou gewacht Maar je kust me, en je lacht Liefste jij maakt me geen verwijt En je toont niet de minste spijt Morgen heb je nog al de tijd
Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg Dans met mij de hele nacht Kom neem m'n hand en dans met mij Neem de tijd en voel je vrij Wees gelukkig tot de morgendauw
Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg Dans met mij de hele nacht Wie weet wat ik nog meer verzin Voor een nieuwe dag begint Zeg ik beslist nog wel 'Ik hou van jou'

Arianne Composer(s): Martin Charnin - Christian Roudey Performer(s): The Neville Brothers; Johnny Mathis
Arianne's an April morning That comes rippling through my window She's the smell of coffee brewing On a quiet rainy Sunday And the purring of a kitten That has made my neck A pillow for it's head
Arianne's the silly music That my father used to whistle She's the new leaf on the fern That I had given up last winter And what writer's have to feel like When they suddenly discover They've been read
Arianne is mama's crystal Bread that's nearly finished baking And the rainbow in a puddle And the happiest of birthdays Then the going off on Friday And the coming back on Monday With a tan
Arianne is made of feelings So I milk her of her kisses And I swallow up her breathing And I taste her where she loves me And I'm filled to over flowing But there's always room for more of Arianne

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

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
