Liverpool Lou Composer(s): Dominic Behan Performer(s): The Irish Rovers; The Scaffold
Oh Liverpool Lou lovely Liverpool Lou Why can't you behave just like other girls do Why must my poor heart keep following you Stay home and love me my Liverpool Lou

Live To Tell Composer(s): Madonna - Pat Leonard First release by: Madonna - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
I have a tale to tell Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well I was not ready for the fall Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned 'till then, it will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives I've seen it once, I know the warmth she gives The light that you could never see It shines inside, you can't take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned 'till then, it will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind You've kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then Will I ever have the chance again?
If I ran away I'd never have the strength To go very far How would they hear the beating of my heart? Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide? Will I grow old? How will they hear? When will they learn? How will they know ...?
A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned 'till then, it will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind You've kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then Will I ever have the chance again?

Live And Let Die Composer(s): Linda McCartney - Paul McCartney First release by: Wings - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
When you were young and your heart was an open book You used to say live and let live (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever-changing world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry Say live and let die! Live and let die Live and let die Live and let die
What does it matter to ya When you've got a job to do you gotta do it well You gotta give the other fellow hell!
You used to say live and let live (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever-changing world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry Say live and let die! Live and let die Live and let die Live and let die
Live Alone And Like It Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim Performer(s): Mel Tormé; Michael; Lisa Minelli
Live alone and like it Free as the birds in the trees High above the briars
Live alone and like it Doing whatever you please When your heart desires Free to hang around or Fly at any old time
No equivocation Most of all no guarantees That can be your motto Free of obligation Only the murmuring breeze As an obligatto Live alone and like it Why is that such a crime?
Free to call the tune, Free to say if you're Gonna work or play You can have the moon But you don't have to have It night and day
Anyway On your own with only You to concern yourself Doesn't mean you're lonely Just that you're free Live and alone and like it Don't come down from that tree
Malagueña Composer(s): Ernesto Lecuona; Marian Banks Performer(s): Connie Francis
"Fly away!" Said my carefree heart "To the pace where daydreams start" "Fly away!" Said my heart to me "To the shore of the moonlit sea" "T'is the gypsy code to be fancy-free When I see a road Oh that's the road for me!
My Malagueña, your eyes shamed the purple sky You were as fair as I dreamed you would be I loved and left you for I never could deny The gypsy strain in me Lightly as a song, going where I please Journeying along with every vagrant breeze Up a hill, down a stream I follow in a dream
Long have I travelled my love Since the night we met Seeking in wandering A way to forget But it's no matter by what path I may depart I can't escape from my Malagueña
Little Woman Composer(s): Danny Janssen Performer(s): Bobby Sherman
Hey Little Woman please make up your mind You've got to come into my world Leave your world behind Come on now Na, na, na, na... You got to Come down from that cloud girl and Leave your world behind
When your with me I feel sunshine Even when I'm standing in the rain Something happens that I can't explain When I hear your name But you can't help it that You're always chasing rainbows in your mind There's so much I wanna say to you But there's so little time
Hey Little Woman please make up your mind You've got to come into my world Leave your world behind Na, na, na, na... You got to Come down from that cloud girl and Leave your world behind
What do you see when your walking down A busy street and I'm not there Is my picture hanging in your mind Walking with you there That's how it is in my world girl You're not there all the time Why don't you come into my world and Leave your world behind
Hey Little Woman please make up your mind You've got to come into my world Leave your world behind Na, na, na, na... You got to Come down from that cloud girl and Leave your world behind
Little Wing ((Italian Version: Le Ali Della Mente (Mia Martini) - 1983)) Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix First release by: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, she's walkin' through the clouds A circus smile that's running wild Butterflies and zebras and fairy tales Is all she ever thinks about Runnin' with the wind
And when I'm sad she comes to me
A thousand smiles she gives to me free She said it's all right Take anything that you want from me Anything Anything
Little White Secrets Composer(s): Ellen Schwartz - Roger Bruno Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
It comes down to this Your little white secrets are coming between us Sooner or later they'll turn into little white lies And I know, yes I know That your passion's unspoken Out of control You think nobody knows I understand you I understand your little white secrets I understand you Your strength and your weakness I wanna know I wanna know you, inside out Every little thought you're ashamed about I understand you I understand your little white secrets Baby go easy You don't have to make me your judge and your jury It's bad enough when you come down so hard on yourself And I'll still be the one When you're scared and you're broken All alone in the dark Let me shake you right down to the heart Burning dreams hiding in your pillow Makes it hard when you try to live so perfectly Pretty eyes, dark as a shadow What do you think I'll see? Baby, you're just like me
Little White Lies Composer(s): Walter Donaldson Performer(s): Clare Hanlon and multiple other artists
The moon was all aglow and heaven was in your eyes The night that you told me those little white lies The stars all seemed to know, that you didn't mean all those sighs The night that you told me, those little white lies
I try but there's no forgetting when evening appears I sigh but there's no regretting in spite of my tears
The Devil was in your heart, but heaven was in your eyes The night that you told me those little white lies!
I try but there's no forgetting when evening appears I sigh but there's no regretting in spite of my tears
Who wouldn't believe those lips, whoever could doubt those eyes? The night that you told me those little white lies
The Little White Cloud That Cried ((Danish Version: En Lille Hvid Sky, Der Græd (by Grethe Ingmann) - 1962)) Composer(s): Johnnie Ray First release by: Johnnie Ray & the Four Lads - 1951 Covered by multiple other artists
I went walking down by the river Feeling very sad inside When all at once I saw in the sky The little white cloud that cried
He told me he was very lonesome And no one cared if he lived or died And said sometimes the thunder and lightning Make all the little clouds hide
He said, "Have faith in all kinds of weather For the sun will always shine Do your best and always remember The dark clouds pass with time"
He asked me if I'd tell all my world Just how hard those little clouds try That's how I know I'll always remember The little white cloud that sat right down and cried
Little White Bull Composer(s): Lionel Bart - Michael Pratt - Jimmy Bennett First release by: Tommy Steele - 1959
Once upon a time there was a little white bull Very sad, because he was a little white bull (Little white bull) All the black bulls called him a coward Just 'cause he was white Only black bulls go to the bullring Only black bulls fight When he asked his mama if a little white bull (Little white bull) Ever had a chance of turning black His mama said, you silly little bull You're a pretty little bull You're my little bull So please don't ask me why, little bull You just ain't black! But this did not satisfy that little white bull (Little white bull) He was an exception to that little white rule (Little white rule) Everyday alone in the meadow, he'd find things to charge Till one day he really imagined, that his horns were large Bold as brass right then and then, the little white bull (Little white bull) Quickly found the nearest road to town And people said, what a funny little bull What a fluffy little bull, he's our little bull He marched along, a proud little bull And hit the town!
It was the day of the bullfight, all the town were there Waiting to see the famous matador Trumpeters sounded a fanfare, tam-ta-da-dam-tam-taaa! Out from the throats of the crowd came a mighty roar Into the ring to the shout of a great olé (olé!) Came the parade, all prepared for a mighty fray Matadors and picadors and toreadors And who do you think as well? Trotting right behind them came the little white bull (The little white bull) How they laughed out loud to see the little white bull (Little white bull) Trotting 'round the giant arena, with his head up high Till the matador in the centre caught his tiny eye Charging right up to him went the little white bull (Little white bull) Charging twice and charging once again The matador cried, torro little bull! You're not a little bull, you're a brave little bull You're gonna be a great little bull The best in Spain! Then the crowd all shouted, torro little bull! You're not a little bull, you're a brave little bull You're gonna be a great little bull The best in Spain! So if you got a little bull, that's a white little bull It's quite possible that it might be the bull That's the best in Spain
