Breakdown Dead Ahead
Breakdown Dead Ahead
Composer(s): David Foster; Boz Scaggs
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs; Joe Bataan
I call ya...
You ain't in
What's this cold reaction
Where've you been
Ooh, baby, let it on the line
This is last call, you say that's all
You can take it fine
I'm sorry but...
It don't make sense
You're pullin' just right out on first offense
Ooh, baby, play it smart
For you go south with your big mouth
Let it take your heart......
Danger, there's a breakdown dead ahead
Maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn, might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down.....
I told ya
No more lyin'
No more tears fallin'
Stop your cryin'
Ooh, baby, I'm your fan
Before you go back to your side track
Baby understand.....
Danger there's a breakdown dead ahead
Just maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn, might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no.....
Danger, there's a breakdown dead ahead
Then just maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn, might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down, down, down, down.....
No, no, no......

Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Good Bye, Hard Life
Don't Cry Would you let it ride?
Don't Cry Would you let it ride?
You can't see the mornin', but I can see the light
Ride ride ride let it ride
While you've been out runnin' I've been waitin' half the night
Ride ride ride let it ride
And would you cry if I told you that I lied and would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied and would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
Babe my life is not complete I never see you smile
Ride ride ride let it ride
Baby you want the forgivin' kind and that's just not my style
Ride ride ride let it ride
And would you cry if I told you that I lied and would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied and would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
I've been doin' things worthwhile, you've been bookin' time
Ride ride ride let it ride
And would you cry if I told you that I lied and would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied and would you say goodbye
Or would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?
Ride ride ride let it ride
Ride ride ride let it ride
Ride ride ride let it ride
Ride ride ride let it ride
Ride ride ride let it ride
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride?

It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you runnin' away honey
Iv'e got this feeling you won't
Say there ain't no use in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We said all there is to say
Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, take me through the night
Breakdown, go ahead give it to me
Breakdown, it's alright,
It's alright, it's alright

Let It Rain
Let It Rain
Composer(s): Bonnie Bramlett - Eric Clapton
Performer(s): Eric Clapton
The rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me
The sun could never thaw away the the bliss that lays around me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain
Her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun
Until I found the way to love, it's harder said than done
Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain
Now I know the secret; there is nothing that I lack
If I give my love to you, you'll surely give it back
Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain

Breakdance
Breakdance
Composer(s): Irene Cara; Bunny Hull; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Irene Cara
Well, what's this new feeling
Coming out of the streets
Everybody's talking 'bout it
Wherever they meet
Down by the corner
I keep getting the heat
Then my feet start moving
To the rhythmic beat
Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out
They used to do the locomotion
Do the jerk and the twist
But there just ain't never been
Nothing like this
Now popping and locking
Is a new way of talking
Things will work out for sure
Spinning 'out on the floor
Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out
Hearts are pumping
Beat is thumping
Love the way you're looking tonight
Fever's rising, no surprises
We won't have the chance to fight
Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out

Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)
Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)
Composer(s): B.B. Cunningham Jr. - Gary McEwen - Jerry Masters - John Hunter
Performer(s): Hombres; John Mellencamp
"A preachment, dear friends, you are about to receive
on John Barleycorn, nicotine, and the temptations of Eve"
No parkin' by the sewer sign
Hot dog, my razor's broke
Water drippin' up the spout
But I don't care, let it all hang out
Hangin' from a pine tree by my knees
Sun is shinin' through the shade
Nobody knows what it's all about
It's too much, man, let it all hang out
Saw a man walkin' upside down
My T.V.'s on the blink
Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out
Sleep all day, drive all night
Brain my numb, can't stop now
For sure ain't no doubt
Keep an open mind, let it all hang out
It's rainin' inside a big brown moon
How does that mess you baby up, leg
Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out ...

So, I'm gonna find out what this world can give
While I'm young I'm gonna live
That's my plan, I'm positive
Well, I'm gonna breakaway
Gonna breakaway

Let It Grow
Let It Grow
Composer(s): Eric Clapton
First release by: Eric Clapton - 1974
I'm standin’ at the crossroads
Tryin’ to read the signs
To tell me which way I should
Go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Let your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun and in the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow
Lookin’ for a reason
To check out on my mind
It’s so hard to find a
Friend that I can count on
There’s nothin’ left to show
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow...
Time is gettin’ shorter
And there’s much for you to do
Only ask’n you will get what you are needin’
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow ...

Tell me what's wrong with you now, tell me why I
Never seem to make you happy though heaven knows I try

First you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools
Break up to make up that's all we do,
First you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools
When I come home from workin', you're on the phone
Talkin' about how bad I treat you, now tell me I'm wrong
You say it's me who argues, I'll say it's you
We have got to get together or baby, we're through
Break up to make up, that's all we do
First you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools

Yeah, first you love me then you hate me, that's a game for fools

First release by: The Beatles - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom
Let it be, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me
speaking words of wisdom
let it be, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
living in the world agree
there will be an answer
let it be, let it be
For though they may be parted there is
still a chance that they will see
there will be an answer
let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
there will be an answer
let it be, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
shine on until tomorrow
let it be, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom

Let Him Roll
Let Him Roll
Composer(s): Guy Clark
First release by: Guy Clark - 1975
Well, he was wino, tried and true
Done about everything there is to do
He worked on freighters, an' he'd worked in bars
He worked on farms, an' he'd worked on cars
It was white port that put that look in his eye
Grown men get when they need to cry
We sat down on the curb to rest
And his head just fell down on his chest
He says: "Every single day it gets
"Just a little bit harder to handle and yet ..."
Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered
And the words just rolled off down the gutter
Well, he was elevator man in a cheap hotel
In exchange for the rent on a one room cell
An' he's old: years beyond his time
No thanks to the world, and the white port wine
So he said: "Son" He always called me son
Said: "Life for you has just begun"
An' then he told me the story I'd heard before
How he fell in love with a Dallas whore
Now, he could cut through the years to the very night
When it ended in a whore house fight
And she turned his last proposal down
In favor of being a girl about town
Now it's been seventeen years, right in line
He ain't been straight in none of the time
It's too many days of fightin' the weather
An' too many nights of not being together
So he died
An' when they went through his personal effects
In among the stubs from the welfare checks
Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door
An' an address in Dallas, and nothin' more
An' the welfare people provided the priest
A couple from the mission down the street
Sang "Amazing Grace", and no one cried
'Cept some lady in black, way off to the side
We all left and she's standing there
A black veil covering her silver hair
Ol' One-Eyed John said her name was Alice
An' she used to be a whore in Dallas
So let him roar, Lord, let him roll
I bet he's gone to Dallas, rest his soul
Just you let him roll, Lord, let him roar
He always said that heaven
Was just a Dallas whore
Just you let him roar, Lord, let him roll
I bet he's gone to Dallas, rest his soul

Break It To Them Gently
Break It To Them Gently
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): Burton Cummings;
Randy Bachman; Gil Grand
Break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
When you see my baby sister be as kind as you can
And break it to my Grandma, who said "That boy's wild and bad"
Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home again
'Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Fightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
God I wanna go home
Lord I wish I was home
When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes
Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries
Tell her that I love her and I will til the day I die
Tell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home
again
(chorus)
I got in too deep with strangers
Thinking they could help me find my way
But nobody warned me of the dangers
And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay
So break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad
Thank them for the good years and all the lovin that I had
And break it to my Grandma, who said "the boy is wild and bad"
Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin home again
(chorus)
You gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to roll 'em
Gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to soothe them
Gotta really try to roll 'em
You gotta roll it to my Mother
Gotta roll it to my Grandma
Gotta roll the old lady
Roll it to my Grandma, she's damn near eighty
Roll the old lady

Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry
Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Gracie Fields
and multiple other artists
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
Fare well to cold winter, summers come at last
Nothing have I gained but my true love I have lost
I'll sing and I'll be happy like the birds up in the trees
Since he deceived me I care no more for he
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
He wrote to me a letter saying he was very bad
I sent him back an answer saying I was awful glad
He wrote to me another saying he was well and strong
But I care no more about him than the ground he walks upon.
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
Some of his friends had a good kind wish for me
Others of his friends, they could hang me from a tree
But soon I'll let them see my love, and soon I'll let them know
That I can get a new sweetheart on any ground I go
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
He can go to his old mother now and set her mind at ease
For she's a mean old woman and very hard to please
It's slighting me and talking ill is what she's always done
Because I was courting her great big ugly son
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm going to marry a far nicer boy
