Brand New Heartache Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Felice Bryant Originally performed by: The Everly Brothers Covered by various other artists
A new boy came to town I ain't seen you around I feel a brand new heartache coming on
It happened once before When a guy moved in next door I feel a brand new heartache coming on
Why can't I trust in you? Why do you try to make me blue the way you do? Last night we planned a ball You never showed at all I feel a brand new heartache coming on
Why can't I trust in you? Why do you try to make me blue the way you do? Right now we've got a date And you're 3 hours late I feel a brand new heartache coming on
Brand New Day Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison
When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love
And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day oh
I was lost and double crossed With my hands behind my back I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt Shoved out on the railroad track I've been used, abused and so confused And I had nowhere to run But I stood and looked And my eyes got hooked On that beautiful morning sun
And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day oh
And the sun shines down all on the ground Yeah and the grass is oh so green And my heart is still and I've got the will And I don't really feel so mean Here it comes, here it comes 0 here it comes right now And it comes right in on time Well it eases me and it pleases me And it satisfies my mind
And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day oh
Brand New Age Composer(s): Nicky Garratt; Charlie Harper Performer(s): U.K. Subs
Got a feeling someone's watching me From the supermarket store playing hide and seek Hanging on the ceiling and they never sleep Everywhere I go I see this silver machine

Is the future going to be a nightmare? Everywhere you go they're always there Watching, listening to every word The past was an omen now the future's a curse
1980's a brand new age 1980's a brand new age There's no such thing as a private life They watch you in the crib Now they're going to watch you die

Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee Any old place I hang my hat is home sweet home to me I went to the depot and looked up on the board I went to the depot and looked up on the board It says it's good times here but it's better on down the road
I'll eat my breakfast here get my dinner in New Orleans I'll eat my breakfast here get my dinner in New Orleans I'm gonna get me a mama Lord I ain't never seen Where was you mama when the train left the shed Where was you mama when the train left the shed Standing in my front door wishing you've gone I was dead
Brainwash Composer(s): Rick Danko; Emmett Grogan Performer(s): Rick Danko
Brainwash..what a price to pay Brainwash..when there ain't no other way
Crossed ideas and twisted fear Chosen channels of a million tears Strains the mind, night after night And the price ain't really right
Brainwash..on the road to a cosmic spark Rub ya and scrub ya until you're raw Snake oils on the boil And the master pitch is in a coil
Give it up with your hands in the air No way you're ever goin nowhere Brainwash..pick yourself up off the ground Brainwash..saddle up on the merry-go-round
There once was a colt and they called it Morris And it could not stop the flying horse Thoroughbred on the wings of reason Past the sky..the masterpiece of freedom Brainwash ...
Brain Damage Composer(s): Roger Waters Originally performed by: Pink Floyd Covered by various other artists
The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games And daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade You make the change And you rearrange me 'till I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key And there's someone in my head, but it's not me And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Brahn Boots Composer(s): R.P. Weston; Bert Lee Performer(s): Stanley Holloway
Our Aunt Hanna's passed away We 'ad her funeral today And it was a posh affair Had to have two p'licemen there!
The 'earse was luv'ly, all plate glass And wot a corfin!... oak and brass! We'd fah-sands weepin', flahers galore But Jim, our cousin... what d'yer fink 'e wore?
Why, brahn boots! I ask yer... brahn boots! Fancy coming to a funeral In brahn boots!
I will admit 'e 'ad a nice black tie Black fingernails and a nice black eye But yer can't see people orf when they die In brahn boots!
And Aunt 'ad been so very good to 'im Done all that any muvver could for 'im And Jim, her son, to show his clars... Rolls up to make it all a farce
In brahn boots... I ask yer... brahn boots! While all the rest Wore decent black and mourning suits
I'll own he didn't seem so gay In fact he cried most part the way But straight, he reg'lar spoilt our day Wiv 'is brahn boots
In the graveyard we left Jim None of us said much to him Yus, we all gave 'im the bird Then by accident we 'eard ...
'E'd given 'is black boots to Jim Small A bloke wot 'ad no boots at all So p'raps Aunt Hanna doesn't mind She did like people who was good and kind
But brahn boots! I ask yer... brahn boots! Fancy coming to a funeral In brahn boots!
And we could 'ear the neighbours all remark "What, 'im chief mourner? Wot a blooming lark! "Why 'e looks more like a Bookmaker's clerk... In brahn boots!"
That's why we 'ad to be so rude to 'im That's why we never said "Ow do!" to 'im We didn't know... he didn't say He'd give 'is other boots away
But brahn boots! I ask yer... brahn boots! While all the rest Wore decent black and mourning suits!
But some day up at Heavens gate Poor Jim, all nerves, will stand and wait 'til an angel whispers... "Come in, Mate "Where's yer brahn boots?"

There's a village hidden deep in the valley Among the pine trees half forlorn And there on a sunny morning Little Jimmy Brown was born
(bung, bung, bung, bung) All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above "Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation" "Guide him with eternal love"
There's a village hidden deep in the valley Beneath the mountains high above And there, twenty years thereafter Jimmy was to meet his love
(bung, bung, bung, bung) All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life 'cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above "Lead us not into temptation, bless, oh Lord this celebration" "May their lives be filled with love"
From the village hidden deep in the valley One rainy morning dark and gray A soul winged its way to heaven Jimmy Brown had passed away
(bung, bung, bung, bung) Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town 'twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above "Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation" "Of thy great eternal love"

We go on and on Songs and kings and many things Have their day and are gone But boys and girls like you and me We go on and on
Boys And Girls
Composer(s): Philip Oakey - Philip Adrian Wright
Performer(s): The Human League
Boys and girls come out to play, playing till theyre old and grey
Time to leave the old school suit, grown ups can be real cute
Do you think theyre wiser than in the past
How long do you think its gonna last
I dont have to prove to you, adults can be kidding too
Boys and girls I love you dearly
But I hate to have you near me
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls stay home today
Think theyre more mature that way
Secret friends can soon be found
Indiscretions underground
Maybe growing up can seem more graceful
If they make their style become more tasteful
With your looks you could go far
But better watch the calendar-iahhh
Boys and girls I love you dearly
But I hate to have you near me
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls I love you dearly
But I hate to have you near me
Boys and girls I love you dearly
But I hate to have you near me
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh
Boys and girls - ahh

Mary had a little lamb His fleece was white as snow And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go

The Bulls ((Adapted from: Les Toros (by Jacques Brel) - 1963)) ((Finnish Version: Härät (by Susanna Haavisto) - 1986)) Composer(s): Gérard Jouannest - Jean Corti - Jacques Brel - Mort Shuman Performer(s): Marc Almond - 1989
On Sundays the bulls get so bored When they're asked to show off for us There is the sun, the sand, and the arena There are the bulls ready to bleed for us
It's time when grocery clerks Become Don Juan And all the ugly girls Turn into swans
Who can say what he's found That bull who turns and paws the ground And suddenly he sees himself all nude Who can say what he dreams That bull who hears the silent screams From the open mouths of multitudes
On Sundays the bulls get so bored When they're asked to suffer for us There are the picadors and the mobs revenge There are the toreros and the mob's revenge, there are the toreros - and the mob kneels for us
It's time when grocery clerks become Garcia-Lorca And the girls put the roses in their teeth Like Carmen
On Sundays the bulls get so bored When they're asked to drop dead for us The sword will plunge down And the mob will drool The blood will poor down And turn the sand to mud
It's time when grocery clerks Become Nero And the girls scream And shout the name of their hero
And when finally they fell Did the bulls dream of a hell Where men and worn out matadors Still burn And perhaps with their last breath Would they pardon us their death Knowing what we did at Carthage, Waterloo, Verdon, Stalingrad, Iwoa Jima , Hiroshima, Saigon

All of a sudden my heart sings When I remember little things The way you dance and hold me tight The way you kiss and say goodnight The crazy things we say and do The fun it is to be with you The magic thrill that's in your touch Oh Darling, I love you so much The secret way you press my hand To let me know you understand The wind and rain upon your face The breathless world of your embrace Your little laugh and half surprise The starlight gleaming in your eyes Remembering all those little things All of a sudden my heart sings All of a sudden my heart sings When I remember little things Your voice upon the telephone That crazy laugh that's all your own The way a smile lights up your eyes The way you look up in surprise The magic thrill that's in your touch Oh Darling, I love you so much The funny way you hold your head The crazy things we've often said The way your hair won't stay in place The wind and rain upon your face Your little laugh and half surprise The starlight gleaming in your eyes Remembering all those little things All of a sudden my heart sings All of a sudden my heart sings
