Lazy Bones
Lazy Bones
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Hoagy Carmichael
First release by: The Dorsey Brothers Orch. & Mildred Bailey
Covered by multiple other artists
Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun....how you spect to get your day's work done?
You can't get your day's work done......sleepin' in the noon day sun
Lazy bones, layin' in the shade....how you gonna get your cornmeal made?
You can't get no cornmeal made....sleepin' in that evening shade
When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs'll fall off of the vine
And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'
Them fish don't grab your line
Lazy bones, loafin' all the day.....how you spect to make a dime that way?
You won't make no dime that way.....loafin' in the shade all day

Ben
Ben
Composer(s): Donald Black; Walter Scharf
Originally performed by: Michael Jackson
Covered by various other artists
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere (anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
(I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we")
Ben, most people would turn you away
(Turn you away)
I don't listen to a word they say
(A word they say)
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben

Lazy
Lazy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists
Every time I see a puppy
On a summers day
A puppy dog at play
My heart is filled with envy
That's why I'm in such a hurry
To pass the time away
Like the pup, I'm all fed up, and
Though it's wrong to be, I long to be
Lazy
I wanna be lazy
I'm longing to lay in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning
They call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by
I wanna peep
Through the deep
Tangled wildwood
Counting sheep
'Til I sleep
Like a child would
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
While I'm killing time, being lazy
Lazy
I wanna be lazy
I'm longing to lay in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning
They call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by
I wanna peep
Through the deep
Tangled wildwood
Counting sheep
'Til I sleep
Like a child would
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
While I'm killing time, being lazy
While I'm killing time, being lazy

Bem Querer
Bem Querer
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Quando o meu bem-querer me vir
Estou certa que há de vir atrás
Há de me seguir por todos
Todos, todos, todos o umbrais
E quando o seu bem-querer mentir
Que não vai haver adeus jamais
Há de responder com juras
Juras, juras, juras imorais
E quando o meu bem-querer sentir
Que o amor é coisa tão fugaz
Há de me abraçar com a garra
A garra, a garra, a garra dos mortais
E quando o seu bem-querer pedir
Pra você ficar um pouco mais
Há que me afagar com a calma
A calma, a calma, a calma dos casais
E quando o meu bem-querer ouvir
O meu coração bater demais
Há de me rasgar com a fúria
A fúria, a fúria, a fúria dos animais
E quando o seu bem-querer dormir
Tome conta que ele sonhe em paz
Como alguém que lhe apagasse a luz
Vedasse a porta e abrisse o gás

Lazarillo
Lazarillo
Composer(s): T. de la Huerta y J. Torregrosa
Performer(s): Raphael
Naciste en un molino dentro del Tormes
Según dice quien tu historia escribió
Fuiste un niño tan famoso que tu nombre
Lazarillo de Tormes todo el mundo conoció
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, buen amigo
Que viviste sin tener hogar y sin fortuna
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, tu destino
Siempre fue burlar a quien te burló
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, vagabundo
Tu creciste siempre caminando por la vida
Y aprendiste con razón a ser listo en la ocasión
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, picarón
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, vagabundo
Que viviste sin tener hogar y sin fortuna
Quiero yo con mi canción alegrar tu corazón
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, picarón

Come with me and we'll play
You've got a lot, I'd like to stay
(So good, so far)

Sometimes it's better to belong
I'll sing you **** my all night song
You know it's better to belong
Under the cover of a midnight scene
I got the sheets below your means

Layla
Layla
Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Jim Gordon
First release by: Derek and the Dominos - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

Below The Surface
Below The Surface
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Some people tell you they're trapped by the distance
And can't get what they want most
They throw a wall and then call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close
(Chorus)
Oh, I think you should know
You've got to go slow below the surface
And easy through the waves
You better go slow below the surface
And easy through the waves
You're running so fast that you can't find the past
And your future is wearing thin
Come from behind it's a matter of time
'Til you see where you've always been
(Chorus)
Some people tell you they're in trapped by the distance
And can't get what they want most
They throw up a wall and then call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close
Oh, I think you should know
You've better go slow below the surface
And easy through the waves
You better go slow below the surface
And easy through the waves
You know that your life must have a purpose
You better make a stand while you still can

Laying Down The Law
Laying Down The Law
Composer(s): Andrew Farriss - Dave Banks - Gary Beers - Jon Farriss - Kirk Pengilly - Michael Hutchence
Performer(s): INXS; Jimmy Barnes
Yow!
I'm laying down the law
A showdown in the north land
Just a whiff of corruption
It's the tip of the iceberg
Savour it, sweet liberty
And there's trouble from the south
Shout it from the gallery
Now fine, I got to shout it out
I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the year
There's no need to tell you
What I think has gone wrong
There's gray clouds on descendtion
That show, that show a silver lining
Sweet blood on my razor
Is it poetry or politics
Forget about the nightmare
And make it a dream that changes everything
And I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the year
No, you don't understand
Listen!
Listen to me!
Sweet blood on my razor
Is it poetry or politics
Forget about the nightmare
And make a dream that changes everything
Well, I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the years
I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
And break through darkened nights
And take me through the year
I'm searching for the light
To kill my sense of fear
I'm searching for the light
To save it through the years

Beloved
Beloved
Composer(s): Nicholas Brodszky; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Mario Lanza
and various other artists
Tonight was just a masquerade
Tomorrow just another day
Let come whatever, tonight or never
I'll throw the mask away
Beloved! With all my heart I love you
With ev'ry breath I pray some day you will be mine
Summer or spring
Winter or fall
You are my life, my love, my all
Beloved! The very stars above you
Are jealous of the way your eyes sparkle and shine
Day after day
Near or apart
I try to say, be still my trembling heart
But try though I may, I cannot hide
This passion inside, that won't be denied
If this be madness, then, call it madness
I only know I'll never rest 'til you are mine
Beloved! Believe me when I tell you
From now until the last bright star fades from the blue
Now and forever, whatever I do
Beloved! I love you!

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
