    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

    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

    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

    You told me you loved me
    So I don't understand
    Why promises are snapped in two

    Twisted truth and half the news
    Can't hide it in your eyes

    Love lies on and an and on and on and on and

    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

    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

    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

    To the candle we'll be headin, mother
    So, before we're winin', dinin', mother
    Start that candle light a shinin', mother

    Thine love is mine
    Thine heart with mine entwine, love
    My soul for thee doth pine
    Thine eye doth shine
    Thine life with mine combine, love
    Thou art my valentine
    Lips like apple wine
    Face like kalsomine (oh, fine)
    My clinging vine
    My voice for thee doth whine
    You're older than Auld Lang Syne

    Twinkle, twinkle little star
    How you wonder who I am
    Way up in the sky, so low
    You're a better man than I am, oh, by Jove

    The polar bear sleeps in his little bearskin
    He sleeps very well, I am told
    Last night I slept in my little bare skin
    And I got a heck of a cold

    Pease Porridge hot
    Pease porridge cold
    Pease porridge in the pot
    Nine days old
    Peehew!

    Originally performed by: The Gap Band



    Woo, gave you my money, I gave you my time
    Why you wanna hurt me, girl
    Are you serious, I’m just curious
    Why you wanna hurt me, girl

    Just because you’re not for real
    Why you hurt me, girl
    Just because you’re not for real
    Why you hurt me, girl

    Never, ever had a lover
    Who put the peddle to the metal
    And burn rubber on me, Charlie
    Oh, no

    You took my money, you took my time
    Made me think everything was fine
    Then you upped and ran away
    And made me just go crazy

    I never, ever had a lover
    Who put the peddle to the metal
    And burn rubber on me, Charlie
    Oh, no, no, no

    Just because you’re not for real

    Oh, no, no, no

    Just because you’re not for real
    Why you hurt me, girl
    Just because you’re not for real
    Why you hurt me, girl

    You told me to go up the block
    To get you a strawberry pop
    When I got back to the flat
    You had burned rubber out the back

    I went to the closet and saw no clothes
    All I saw was hangers and poles
    I went to the phone and called your mother
    And told me that you had burned rubber on me, Charlie
    Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

    Just because you’re not for real

    Why you hurt me, girl
    Just because you’re not for real
    Why you hurt me, girl

    You took my money, you took my time
    You made me think everything was fine
    Like the clock on the wall said ding-ding-dong
    Got to find another lover that won’t be gone

    She won’t put the medal to the metal
    And burn rubber, burn rubber on me, Charlie
    No, no, no, no

    Never, ever had a lover
    Who put the peddle to the metal

    Burn My Candle (At Both Ends)
    Composer(s): Ross Parker
    Performer(s): Shirley Bassey



    Who's got a match for a strikin'
    Don't say it all depends
    Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends

    Who's got a light he's hidin', under a bush or fence
    Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends

    It's possible, it may not last a night
    While it burns, what a wonderful light

    Who'd like to play with fire
    After they make ammends
    Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends

    Who doesn't mind a reaper, after he's sewn wild oats
    Who wants to take a chance and help me, burn my boats

    Who's not a look, then leaper
    Wanting a warning note
    Who wants to take a chance and help me, burn my boats

    There's 'S' for Scotch, that's so direct
    And for straight and simple sex
    "I" for invitation to, a close relationship with you
    "N" for nothing bad nor less
    "S-I-N", that's sin, I guess

    Who's got a good ignition
    Waiting for dividends
    Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends

    It may not last, but it's all in the game, my friend
    And while it burns, what a fabulous flame

    Who has an inhibition
    Who has a notch, that's on the handle
    Open my door, and spun the scandal
    Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends!

    Lie For A Lie
    Composer(s): Danny Peyronel - Nick Mason - Rick Fenn
    Performer(s): Nick Mason & Rick Fenn



    A game's a game I hear you say
    Enough emotion in a day
    We'll never live enough to play
    I hear you say

    You make the you make the moves
    Giving clues about the rules
    But there's no way to warn the fools
    They're only fools

    Give me a lie for a lie
    Give me a truth for a truth
    Nothing is hard to believe
    No one is hard to deceive
    Leave me a light in the dark
    Give me a lie for a lie
    Give me a truth for a truth

    So let the fire within me burn
    You know something I should learn
    But I don't know which way to turn
    Still I turn

    Give me a lie for a lie
    Give me a truth for a truth
    Nothing is hard to believe
    No one is hard to deceive
    Leave me a light in the dark
    Give me a lie for a lie
    Give me a truth for a truth

    And when the flame begins to go
    I'll be there inside the door
    You'll never know that I care more
    Than I can show

    Give me a lie for a lie
    Give me a truth for a truth
    Nothing is hard to believe
    No one is hard to deceive
    Leave me a light in the dark
    Give me a lie for a lie
    Give me a truth for a truth

    Lie Back, Let Me Do Everything
    Composer(s): Pope - Staples
    Performer(s): Rough Trade



    It's ten o'clock the bar is jammed
    Waitresses circulate in and out of tables
    Feel like a boxer, I'm punch drunk
    Got a cigarette wedged in my face

    Hearing voices breathing in my ear
    How they wanna massage my ego
    Sayin' lie back let me do everything
    Her aroma rising from stale beer and listerine
    Lie back let me do everything
    I wanna get lost in ya, lie back

    Got my hair slicked back like a Latino
    Lounging in a naugahyde chair
    Got my fists bunched, shoved in my pockets
    Watchin' those queens slithering by

    Hearing voices syrup in my ear
    How they wanna massage my ego
    Sayin' lie back, let me do everything
    Her aroma rising from stale beer and listerine
    Lie back, let me do everything
    I wanna get lost in ya lie back

    Sayin' lie back, let me do everything
    Lie back, let me do everything
    Lie back, let me do everything
    I wanna get lost in ya, lie back
    Lie back, let me do everything
    Lie back, let me do everything

    Burn Down The Mission
    Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
    Performer(s): Elton John;
    Phil Collins; Toto



    You tell me there's an angel in your tree
    Did he say he'd come to call on me
    For things are getting desperate in our home
    Living in the parish of the restless folks I know

    Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
    Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
    Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
    It's time we put the flame torch to their keep

    Burn down the mission
    If we're gonna stay alive
    Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
    See the red flame light the sky

    Burn down the mission
    Burn it down to stay alive
    It's our only chance of living
    Take all you need to live inside

    Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
    My wife cried when they came to take me away
    But what more could I do just to keep her warm
    Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls

    Burma Shave
    Composer(s): Roger Miller
    Originally performed by: Roger Miller
    Covered by: Eugene Chadbourne; The Everly Brothers; Shockabilly



    Way down yonder by the forks of the branch
    The old sow whistled and the little pigs danced
    Burma Shave Burma Burma Burma Shave
    I bet I've seen a million rows
    of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line
    Come on come on one more time

    Yonder goes Willie he's passin' on a hill
    He don't dress nice but he drives fit to kill
    Burma Shave Burma Burma Burma Shave
    I bet I've seen a million rows
    of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line
    Giddyup Giddyup Tally ho

    Well my pappy ain't smart he ain't good at quizzin'
    But one thing he knows is how to keep mama his'n
    Burma Shave Burma Burma Burma Shave
    I bet I've seen a million rows
    of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line
    Come on come on one more time

    Roses are red and violets are blue
    you chase me and so will I
    Burma Shave Burma Burma Burma Shave
    I bet I've seen a million rows
    of them little red poles and it's signs up and down the line
    Come on come on one more time

    Burlington Bertie From Bow
    Composer(s): William Hargreaves
    Performer(s): Ella Shields
    and various other artists



    I'm Bert, p'raps you've heard of me
    Bert, you've had word of me,
    Jogging along, hearty and strong
    Living on plates of fresh air
    I dress up in fashion
    And when I am feeling depressed
    I shave from my cuff all the whiskers and fluff
    Stick my hat on and toddle up West

    I'm Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty
    And saunter along like a toff
    I walk down the Strand with my gloves on my hand
    Then I walk down again with them off
    I'm all airs and graces, correct easy paces
    Without food so long I've forgot where my face is
    I'm Bert, Bert, I haven't a shirt
    But my people are well off you know
    Nearly everyone knows me from Smith to Lord Rosebr'y
    I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow

    I stroll with Lord Hurlington
    Roll in The Burlington
    Call for Champagne, walk out again
    Come back and borrow the ink
    I live most expensive
    Like Tom Lipton I'm in the swim
    He's got so much 'oof', he sleeps on the roof
    And I live in the room over him

    I'm Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty
    And saunter along Temple Bar
    As round there I skip
    I keep shouting 'Pip Pip!'
    And the darn'd fools think I'm in my car
    At Rothchilds I swank it
    My body I plank it
    On his front door step with 'The Mail' for a blanket
    I'm Bert, Bert, and Rothchild was hurt
    He said ' You can't sleep there' I said 'Oh'
    He said 'I'm Rothchild sonny!' I said 'That's damn'd funny
    I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow

    I smile condescendingly
    While they're extending me
    Cheer upon cheer when I appear
    Captain with my polo team
    So strict are my people
    They're William the Conqueror's strain
    If they ever knew I'd been talking to you
    Why they'd never look at me again

    I'm Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty
    And reach Kempton park around three
    I stand by the rail, when a horse is for sale
    And you ought to see Wooton watch me
    I lean on some awning while Lord Derby's yawning
    Then he bids two thousand and I bid Good Morning
    I'm Bert, Bert, I'd buy one, a cert
    But where would I keep it you know
    I can't let my man see me in bed with a gee-gee
    I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow!

    My pose, Tho' ironical
    Shows that my monocle
    Holds up my face, keeps it in place
    Stops it from slipping away
    Cigars, I smoke thousands
    I usually deal in The Strand
    But you've got to take care when you're getting them there
    Or some idiot might stand on your hand

    I'm Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty
    And Buckingham Palace I view
    I stand in the yard while they're changing the guard
    And the queen shouts across "Toodle oo"!
    The Prince of Wales' brother along with some other
    Slaps me on the back and says "Come and see Mother"
    But I'm Bert, Bert, and Royalty's hurt
    When they ask me to dine I say no
    I've just had a banana with Lady Diana
    I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow

    Lido Shuffle
    Composer(s): David Paich - Boz Scaggs
    First release by: Boz Scaggs - 1976
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Lido missed the boat that day he left the shack
    But that was all he missed and he ain't comin' back
    A tombstone bar in a jukejoint car, he made a stop
    Just long enough to grab a handle off the top
    Next stop Chi town, Lido put the money down and
    Let it roll

    He said one more job ought to get it
    One last shot 'fore we quit it
    One more for the road

    Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh
    He's for the money
    He's for the show
    Lido's waitin' for the go
    Lido whoa-oh-oh-oh
    He said one more job ought to get it
    One last shot 'fore we quit it
    One more for the road

    Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun, 'til he got the note
    Sayin' "Toe the line or blow" and that was all she wrote
    He be makin' like a beeline, headin for the borderline
    Goin' for broke

    Sayin' one more hit ought to do it
    This joint ain't nothin to it
    One more for the road

    Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh
    He's for the money
    He's for the show
    Lido's waitin' for the go
    Lido whoa-oh-oh-oh
    He said one more job ought to get it
    One last shot 'fore we quit it
    One more for the road

    Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh
    He's for the money
    He's for the show
    Lido's waitin' for the go
    Lido whoa-oh-oh-oh
    He said one more job ought to get it
    One last shot 'fore we quit it
    One more for the road

    Will I Ever Tell You? ((aka Lida Rose/Will I Ever Tell You? (by Scott Dreier) - 2003))
    From "The Music Man"
    Composer(s): Meredith Wilson
    First performance by: Barbara Cook - 1957



    Barbershop Quartet:
    Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
    To get the sun back in the sky
    Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
    About a thousand kisses shy

    Ding dong ding
    I can hear the chapel bell chime
    Ding dong ding
    At the least suggestion
    I'll pop the question

    Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
    Without a sweetheart to my name
    Lida Rose, how everyone knows
    That I am hoping you're the same

    So here is my love song
    Not fancy or fine
    Lida Rose, oh won't you be....
    Mine, Lida Rose, oh Lida Rose
    Oh Lida Rose...

    Marian:
    Dream of now
    Dream of then
    Dream of a love song
    That might have been

    Do I love you?
    Oh yes, I love you
    And I'll bravely tell you
    But only when we dream again

    Sweet and low
    Sweet and low
    How sweet that mem'ry
    How long ago
    Forever
    Oh yes, forever
    Will I ever tell you?
    Oh no

    Barbershop Quartet and Marian overlap
    (repeat)

    Burgers And Fries
    Composer(s): Ben Peters
    Performer(s): Charley Pride



    Chorus:
    Burgers and fries and cherry pies
    It was simple and good back then
    Walking in the sand hand in hand
    Never thinking that it could end
    Making our love with the moon above
    At the drive-in picture show
    And it was burgers and fries and cherry pies
    In a world we used to know

    Changes come and go, we've had our share I know
    Now it seems we don't have time for love anymore
    The things we used to say, little things we did each day
    Oh I long to do the things that we did before, when it was...

    Chorus

    Well I'm still the same old me, that's all I'll ever be
    I'd like to think that you're the same old you
    We lost something down the line that I wish we both could find
    Lord I'd like to do the things that we used to do, when it was...

    Chorus
