Lay Lady Lay
Lay Lady Lay
((French Version: Lady Lay (by Pierre Groscolas) - 1974))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

Belonging To Someone
Belonging To Someone
Composer(s): A. Hoffman; D. Manning
Performer(s): Patti Page
(Someone just, just like you
Someone just, just like you)
Belonging to someone
Is a wonderful, wonderful thing
Knowing there's someone who cares
Makes my heart sing
(My heart sings it, ding-aling)
Belonging to someone
Can be worth more than silver or gold
Love is a gift from above
To have and to hold
(Hold me tight, hold me tight)
To be alone, yet never lonely
Is to reach your shining star
When you have found your one and only
How lucky, lucky you are
Belonging to someone
Is a heavenly dream that comes true
Oh, yes it does
Sweet as a beautiful song
Written for two
Oh, how I long to belong
To someone like you
(Someone just, just like you
Someone just, just like you)

Lay My Love
Lay My Love
Composer(s): Brian Eno - John Cale
Performer(s): Brian Eno & John Cale
and multiple other artists
I am the crow of desperation
I need no fact or validation
I sent relentless variation
I scramble in the dust of a failing nation
I was concealed
Now I am stirring
And I have waited for this time
I am the termite of temptation
I multiply and find my population
I am the wheel
I am the turning
And I will lay my love around you
I am the sea of permutation
I live beyond interpretation
I scramble all the names and the combinations
I penetrate the walls of explanation
I am the will
I am the burning
And I will lay my love around you
I am the will
I am the yearning
And I will lay my love around you

Belonging
Belonging
Composer(s): David Gates
Performer(s): Bread
I wanted love so very bad that
I could almost taste it
And so I gave mine all to you
And hoped you would not waste it
I laid awake the whole night long
And wondered was I wrong
But when you woke and touched my face
I knew that I belonged
Belonging to someone I find is very necessary
The load is lighter on your mind
When someone helps to carry
And even though I’m strong enough
To make it on my own
I would not even care to try
To live my life alone
For if I lived my life alone
With no one to belong to
There’d be no one to pledge my heart
Or sing my song of love to
My melodies would soon dry up
And the words would leave me too
It all would come to pass if I
Could not belong to you
I wanted love so very bad that
I could almost taste it
And when I gave mine all to you
I knew you would not waste it

Lay Down Your Arms
Lay Down Your Arms
Composer(s): Gerhard - Land - Robertson
Performer(s): Anne Shelton
Come to the station, jump from the train
March at the double, down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses entwine
Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
My sweetheart is a soldier, as handsome as can be
But suddenly they sent him, away across the sea
So patiently I waited, until his leave was due
Then wrote and said "My darling, I'll tell you what to do"
Come to the station, jump from the train
March at the double, down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses entwine
Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
A soldier is a soldier, and when he's on parade
An order is an order, and has to be obeyed
You've got to do your duty, wherever you may be
And now you're under orders, to hurry home to me
Come to the station, jump from the train
March at the double, down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses entwine
Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
The girl who loves a soldier, is either sad or gay
'Cos first of all he's with her, and then he's far away
But soldiers have their duty, to answer to the call
And that is why I'm calling, the loudest of them all
Come to the station, jump from the train
March at the double, down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses entwine
Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

Bells Are Ringing
Bells Are Ringing
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Betty Comden; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Eddie Heim
and various other artists
All around, there's the sound of the midsummers night
Bells in the air are ringing evrywhere
I can hear footsteps that pass on the street
And lovers rushing to meet
Here alone I can only imagine the sight
Me on the town, in some bewitching gown
But I just wait at the end of the line
As bells are ringing, the bells keep ringing
Oh why, oh why can't the next call be mine
Thank you, thank you, thank you Susanswerphone
Ah-ahhh!

Lay Down Sally
Lay Down Sally
Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Marcy Levy - George Terry
First release by: Eric Clapton - 1977
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me
I know you've got somewhere to go
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above
Underneath the velvet skies
Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily
So don't you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down and stay with me
And don't you ever leave

Performer(s): Gianna Nannini; Damichi
Bello bello impossibile
con gli occhi neri e il tuo sapor mediorientale
bello bello invincibile
con gli occhi neri e la tua bocca da baciare
girano le stelle nella notte ed io
ti penso forte forte ti vorrei
bello bello impossibile
con gli occhi neri e il tuo sapor mediorientale
bello e irraggiungibile
con gli occhi neri e il tuo gioco micidiale
non conosco la ragione che mi spieghera'
perche' non voglio piu' salvarmi dalla liberta'
e' una forza che mi chiama sotto la citta'
e se il cuore batte forte non si fermera'
e all' alba e' amore nasce col sol cosi
e all' alba il sole finira' che cosi'
Tra le tue mani scoppia il fuoco che mi brucera' ed io non
voglio piu' salvarmi da questa verita'
c'e' una luce che m'invade non posso piu' dormire
con le tue pagine nascoste lo vorrei gridare
Bello bello impossibile
con gli occhi neri e la tua forma d'orientale
Bello bello incredibile
con gli occhi neri e la tua bocca da baciare
Girano le stelle nella notte
Ti penso forte forte ti vorrei
Si .i .i
Mi sconvolge l'emozione e non so perche'
oltre il bacio della folla vedo solo te
mentre corro nel tuo sguardo sotto la citta'
e non voglio piu' mi arrendo chi mi salvera'
e all' alba e' amore nasce col sol cosi
e all' alba il sole ti dira' che e' cosi
Bello bello impossibile
con gli occhi neri e il tuo sapor mediorientale
bello bello e invincibile
con gli occhi neri e quel tuo gioco micidiale
scoppia nella notte il sentimento
ti sento forte forte ti vorrei
Bello bello impossibile
con gli occhi neri e il tuo sapor mediorientale
Bello bello invincibile
con gli occhi neri e la tua bocca da baciare
Bello bello impossibile
con gli occhi neri e la tua forma di orientale
Bello e irraggiungibile
sei bello bello impossibile
con gli occhi neri il tuo sapor mediorientale
bello invincibile con gli occhi neri e la tua bocca da baciare
Bello bello impossibile
con gli occhi neri sei bello impossibile
e irraggiungibile

Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)
Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)
Composer(s): Melanie Safka
First release by: Melanie - 1970
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
What if I told you were stupid, destructive, soulless
Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant
Would you believe me would you like that
Or would you prove me wrong and fight back
I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky
And let it shine on you through my eyes
You see we all in the same boat trying to float
So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing
Some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the night
So raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown

Alexis HK; Les Clodettes
Un jour mon père me dit fiston
J' te vois sortir le soir
A ton âge il y a des choses
Qu'un garçon doit savoir
Les filles tu sais méfies-toi
C'est pas c' que tu crois
Elles sont toutes
Belles belles belles comme le jour
Belles belles belles comme l'amour
Elles te rendront fou de joie
Fou de douleur mais crois moi
Mais plus fou d'elles de jour en jour
Puis des filles de plus en plus
Tu vas en rencontrer
Peut-être même qu'un soir
Tu oublieras de rentrer
Plus t'en verras, plus t'en auras
Et plus tu comprendras
Dans ces moments, tu te souviendras
Que ton vieux père disait
Elles sont toutes
Belles belles belles comme le jour
Belles belles belles comme l'amour
Elles te rendront fou de joie
Fou de douleur mais crois moi
Plus fou d'elles d'elles d'elles de jour en jour
Un jour enfin tu la verras
Tu n' peux pas te tromper
Tu voudras lui dire je t'aime
Mais tu n' pourras plus parler
En un clin d'œil vous s' rez unis
Pour le pire et le meilleur
Mais tu tiendras là, le vrai bonheur
Aux yeux de ton cœur
Elle sera
Belle belle belle comme le jour
Belle belle belle comme l'amour
Comme j'ai dit à ta maman
Tu lui diras en l'embrassant
Tu es, belle belle belle comme le jour
Belle belle belle comme l'amour
Belle belle belle comme le jour

(Oh, my liberty Belle, my pretty little belle)

All along Killarney shore, oh, the fair colleens
There's sweet Fifi from gay Paree and Wilhelmina, too
But Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
When stars are like a string of pearls 'round a blue lagoon
How the Bali Bali girls dance beneath the moon
Now while they dance I'll take a chance and steal a glance or two
But Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
I'll march, march, march the whole world over (over)
I'll sail, sail, sail the ocean blue (sail the ocean blue)
They've made my blinkin' heart a rover (a rover)
But it's never hardly ever away from you
Of all the girls in Singapore and the Philippines
You're girl that I adore, kiss in all my dreams
I'll hold you soon beneath the moon, till then sweetheart be true
'cause Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you

Belle, Belle, Dis
Belle, Belle, Dis
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Où irai-je belle?
Où irai-je dis?
Quand tu m'auras chassé de ton lit
Quand tu ne m'ouvriras plus les bras
Que je n'aurais plus place en tes draps
Que ferai-je belle?
Que ferai-je dis?
Quand tu m'auras rayé de ta vie
Quand je ne saurai plus aller
Et contre quel sein me consoler
Au passé tu restes indifférente
Tu vis au présent
Alors que je compte sur les rentes
De mes sentiments
Demain te panique et te dérange
T'as peur des toujours
Tandis qu'à chaque instant moi j'engrange
Des rêves d'amour
Où irai-je?
Que ferai-je?
Belle, belle, dis
De folles idées m'assiègent
Me troublent l'esprit
Que serai-je
Que dirai-je
Belle, belle dis
J'en appelle à ton humble avis
Que serai-je, belle?
Que serai-je, dis?
Quand tous mes espoirs seront trahis
Une épave de la société
Ou quelqu'un prêt à tout affronter?
Que dirai-je, belle?
Belle, belle, dis?
Quand tout entre nous sera fini
Des mots qui font mal des mots odieux
Ou bien tristement des mots d'adieu
Tandis que je nage en plein délire
Toi tu viens et vas
Prenant les choses avec le sourire
Qui vivra verra
Tu dis simplement je déborde
D'imagination
Et que parfois je te pousse au bord de
L'exaspération
Où irai-je?
Que ferai-je?
Belle, belle, dis
De folles idées m'assiègent
Me troublent l'esprit
Que serai-je
Que dirai-je
Belle, belle dis
J'en appelle à ton humble avis

Lawyers, Guns And Money
Lawyers, Guns And Money
Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr. - Warren Zevon
First release by: Warren Zevon - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians too
I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this
I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

Belle Starr
Belle Starr
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Pete Seeger; James Talley
Belle Starr, Belle Starr, tell me where you have gone
Since old Oklahoma's sandhills you did roam?
Is it Heaven's wide streets that you're tying your reins
Or singlefooting somewhere below?
Eight lovers they say combed your waving black hair
Eight men knew the feel of your dark velvet waist
Eight men heard the sounds of your tan leather skirt
Eight men heard the bark of the guns that you wore
Cole Younger was your first and the father of your girl
And the name that you picked for your daughter was Pearl
Cole robbed a bank and he drawed the life line
But I heard he was pardoned after Twenty Years time
Your Cherokee lover, Blue Duck was his name
He loved you in the sand hills before your great fame
I heard he stopped a bullet in Eighteen Eighty Five
And your Blue Duck's no longer alive
You took Jim Reed to your warm wedding bed
And from out of your love was born the boy, Ed
A pal killed Jim Reed by the dark of the moon
And your son Ed was blowed down in a drunken saloon
Then there was Bob Younger you loved him well
He rode with the James boys out down the long trail
They caught him in Minnesota along with the gang
He died down in jail in the cell or the chain
You loved Mister William Clarke Quantrill
And his Civil War guerrillas in the Missouri hills
He hit Lawrence Kansas and fought them still
And when he rode out Two Hundred lay killed
They say could have, they whisper you might
Have loved Frank James on a couple of nights
He fought the Midland Railroad almost to death
Then in Nineteen Fifteen Frank drawed his last breath
They say it could be, they say maybe so
That you loved Jesse James that desperado
Jesse got married, had a wife and a son
Was shot down at home by the Ford brothers guns
Belle Starr, Belle Starr, your time's getting late
But how is Jim Younger, did you hear his fate?
He was jailed and then pardoned for all he had done
And he blowed his own brains out in Nineteen and One
Eight men they say combed that black waving hair
Eight men knew the feel of your dark velvet waist
Eight men heard the sounds of your tan leather skirt
Eight men heard the bark of the guns that you wore
Belle Starr, Belle Starr, tell me where have you gone
Since old Oklahoma's sand hills you did roam?
Is it Heaven's wide streets that you're tying your reins
Or singlefooting somewhere below?

Lawns Of Dawns
Lawns Of Dawns
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico
Can you follow me
Can you follow my distresses
My caresses
Fiery guesses
Swim and sink into
Early morning mercies
He blesses you
He blesses me
The day the night caresses
Caresses you, caresses me
Can you follow me
Dawn your guise has filled my nights with fear
At each closing of my eyes
You never see these pictures in my mind
Can you follow me
Aside from leaving overdrawn caresses
Aside from having thrown a joke on you and me
Can you follow me
I cannot understand the way I feel
Until I rest on lawns of dawns
Can you follow me

Belle Of The Ball
Belle Of The Ball
Composer(s): Waylon Jennings
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
A vagabond dreamer, a rhymer and singer of songs
Singing to no one and nowhere to really belong
I met a beautiful lady, a pure Southern belle of the ball
Like Scarlet O'Hara loved no one and wanted them all
Chorus:
I'll never forget you and love you inspite of your faults
The good and the bad I want to remember it all
I did a new dance and you did your Tennessee Waltz
The party's all over I came uninvited
I'm leaving and taking the belle of the ball
There will always be someone I guess that's the way it should be
I guess i should know that someone used to be me
They'll gather around her soon they'll all look the same
At the feet of the lady are lover's without any names
Chorus
