Late November
Late November
Composer(s): David Surkamp - Pavlov's Dog - Steve Scorfina
Performer(s): Pavlov's Dog; Steve Scorfina
Oh, she wants, she wants it badly
And I, I can't believe all she said
Because she's cool, yeah she's cool
She's just like lightening
Take her home, keep her warm in late November
I can't say why she's so strange now
Why did I always believe all she said
She's came down, held me close
Came down from night skies
Take her home, keep her warm in late November
She just goes to show you never know
What's in your heart, what's in your soul
She just goes to show you never know
What's in your heart, what's in your soul
She's home now, but far away she flies
But she don't know how she came
Or how she leaves
'Cause she's cool, yeah she's cool
She's just like lightening
Take her home, keep her warm in late November
She just goes to show you never know
What's in your heart, what's in your soul
(Repeat to end)

Begin The Beguine
Begin The Beguine
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and various other artists
When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendour
It brings back a memory evergreen
I’m with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra’s playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine
To live it again is past all endeavour
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are, swearing to love forever
And promising never, never to part
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean
So don’t let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more
"Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we’re in
When they begin the beguine

Late Night Grande Hotel
Late Night Grande Hotel
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith; The Kennedys
I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here
I'm watching this evening fire burn away my tears
All my life I've left my troubles by the door
Leavin' is all I've ever known before
It's not the way you hold me
when the sun goes down
It's not the way you call my name that left me
stranded on the ground
It's not the way you say you hear my heart
when the music ends
I am just learning how to fly away again
And maybe you were thinkin'
that you thought you knew me well
But, no one ever knows the heart of anyone else
I feel like Garbo in this late night grande hotel
Cause living alone is all I've ever done well
It's not the way you hold me
when the sun goes down
It's not the way you call my name that left me
stranded on the ground
It's not the way you say you hear my heart
when the music ends
I am just learning how to fly away again
It's not the way you hold me
when the sun goes down
It's not the way you call my name that left me
stranded on the ground
It's not the way you say you hear my heart
when the music ends
I am just learning how to fly away again

Beggin'
Beggin'
French Title: Reste
Composer(s): Piergiorgio Farina; Bob Gaudio
Originally performed by: Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons
Covered by various other artists
Ooh, put your lovin' hand out baby
I'm beggin'.........
Beggin', put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby
Ridin' high, when I was king
Played it hard and fast cos' I had everything
You walked away, won me then
But easy come and easy go and it would end
I'm beggin' you, won't you put your hand out baby
I'm beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby
I need you to understand
That I tried so hard to be your man
The kinda man you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again
An empty shell / used-to-be / shadow of my life
Is hangin' over me
Broken man, without a throne
Won't even stand the devil's dance to win my soul
I'm beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby
I'm fightin' hard to hold my own
But I just can't make it on my own
I'm holdin' on, I can't fall back
Now that big brass ring is a shade of black
I'm beggin' you, put your lovin hand out baby
Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby

Late Again
Composer(s): Joe Egan - Gerry Rafferty
First release by: Stealers Wheel - 1972
Late again
When I get home
You be waiting
Still yuo know?
There ain't no use
In you complaining
I know that I
Can show some respect
Especially when I am wrong
But when I get Back
I know you say
"You've been away too long"
Ooh!
I wonder why
I stay
When everybody's gone
Yerr!
There's always something there
That keeps me hanging on, on!
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
Ooh
Ooh la la la
Ooh!
I wonder why
I stay
When everybody's gone
Away
There's always something there
That keeps me hanging on, on
I know that I
Can show some respect
Especially when I am wrong
Late again
When I get home
You be waiting

Beggar's Game
Beggar's Game
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame
Those people knew her by another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine
She took me in on a winter's night
The air was brittle and the moon was bright
My heart was heavy but her touch was light
Deep in the dance we wandered
Deep in my heart she fell
The candles glistened and the water gleamed
She drew a bath and the windows steamed
She looked like every woman ever dreamed
In the heart of a lonely man
In the heart of a lonely man
She took my blindness and she led me through
As night retreated and the daylight grew
And with the first rays of the sun I knew
Love had another captive
Love had another fool
The spell is broken and the chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems I've waited an eternity
I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame
Those people knew her by another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine
(chorus)

Lástima, Luis
Lástima, Luis
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Agárrate que hay ruina
pues nada, que la cosa está fatal
El Tony está en la U.V.I.
parece que está o punto de palmar
Así como lo oyes
te juro Por Pastora que es verdad
Anoche estuvo a un paso
de que le diera el pasmo
mareándose un "breakdance" en el Pachá
Estaba ya muy chunga
la taquicardia, el miedo, Ridiey Scott
y encima va el imbécil
a echar el resto con una menor
que está, además, no veas
como en sus años mozos la Bardot...
y pasa lo que pasa
que el alma pide marcha
y el palo no lo aguanta el corazón
Lástima, Luis, porque esta noche
no estará el Tony con todo la peña en casa de Eduardo
para escuchar su disco doble
"20 canciones de amor y un Poema desesperado
desesperado, desesperado"
Faltaba ver al Tony
con un equipo médico habitual
como aquel hombre, tronco
con tubos por delante y por detrás
las vueltas que da el mundo
ay, si resucitara Carlos Marx
y viera a los que cambian
las masas por las nalgas
según los malos rollos de la edad
Iremos ahora a verle
me esperan Charo, Edmundo y el Gasset
que han vuelto de Segovia
de verte una benéfica al Chenel
las veces que le dije
cuidado Tony con esa mujer...
pero él ni puto caso
y va por ahí matando
tirándose a morir al volapié
Lástima, Luis, porque esta noche...

Beggar's Farm
Beggar's Farm
Composer(s): Mick Abrahams; Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig
Taking chances, and your reputation's going down
Going out in the night time, good thing you make no sound
But you don't fool me
'Cause I know what you feel
If you ignore the things I see, someday soon's gonna
Find your way down on Beggar's Farm
Way down on Beggar's Farm
I pay my money for no returns
I think I need you, gotta find someone
Oh, you don't fool me
'Cause I know what you feel
When you go wild and I ask you why, I don't worry
When I see you lyin' down on Beggar's Farm
But you're on to me, gonna turn away
Won't even listen when you try to say
That you were only foolin' 'round
'Cause I know what you feel
But if you ask me nicely, woman
I'll wake up early one day soon
And I'll visit you down on Beggar's Farm

Lástima Nena
Lástima Nena
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Zas
Estando aquí estoy bien
nadie me atrapará
y todo lo que me ataba
desaparecerá
Aunque me vea el mundo
como un perro vagabundo
voy a encontrar
la verdad
Estoy seguro que
vendrás a mí por más
con tu vestido
de sábado nocturno
Si vienes perderás
lo único que te queda
mi herida aún
está abierta
Lástima nena
que el pájaro voló
ni vos ni yo
cumplimos nena
el pacto de honor
El cielo no es
tan inmenso como algunos creen
(creen no) no es así
Estando aquí estoy bien
y aunque me falte algo
los pensamientos
de mi infancia están a salvo
Si la felicidad
es una burla del futuro
me conformaré con
estar seguro
Lástima nena
que el pájaro voló
ni vos ni yo
cumplimos nena
el pacto de honor
El cielo no es
tan inmenso como algunos creen
(creen no) no es así

First performance by: The New Seekers - 1972
You know I'll beg, steal or borrow
I'll bring you love
I look at you and I see what I've been looking for
Now it's very clear to me - we should be together
You make me feel I could reach for the impossible
And knowing how much you care, I'll be there forever
You know I'll beg steal or borrow
To give you sunny days
And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love
You know I'll beg, steal or borrow
(Yes, I will)
To make your garden grow
And most of all you know, I'll bring you love
Love
I always knew that the world could be a finer place
So what if I have to wait - better late than never
You, you're like me, and you believe love makes it all worthwhile
And although we've just begun, we'll go on forever
You know I'll beg steal or borrow
To give you sunny days
And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love
You know I'll beg, steal or borrow
To make your garden grow
And most of all you know, I'll bring you love, yeah
Love
You know I'll beg steal or borrow
To give you sunny days
And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love, love, love, yeah
Love, love, love

L'asticot Roi
L'asticot Roi
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Un roi tombe en asticot
La cause n'est pas entendue
L'asticot devient le roi
Et la danse continue
La charogne est bon fumier
Elle devient vite moissons
Et elle nourrit la nation
Les hommes, les veaux, les poissons
La charogne redevient roi
Le croquant, le va-nu-pieds
Le croqué claquant du bec
Qui fait des rêves de bifteck
Mais qui mange du pain sec
Fait pourtant festin de roi
Quand le lion, roi des félins
Partage avec sa féline
Une gazelle, sa voisine
Pas un des deux n'imagine
Que le roi bouffe du roi
Quand un gros roi dit "j'ai faim"
Pas un cuisinier ne bouffe
Et le roi boit, le roi bouffe
Mais l'arête qui l'étouffe
Est aussi morceau de roi

Beg, Borrow And Steal
Beg, Borrow And Steal
Performer(s): Ohio Express;
Rare Breed; The Stand
You threw me out the night before last
And now you want me back in your arms again
You think I'm a fool, you treat me like dirt
You pull the string and hope I will be your friend
But I know what's on your mind
So I'd rather stay out in the street without a dime
And I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal
I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal
I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal
Than go back to you
Than go back to you
Than go back to you
How long did you think I'd hang around
Pretending not to see the tricks you pulled on me
There's only so much a man can take
Before his life turns into a tragedy
So I'm getting out now while I can
Cause I don't want to crawl
I want to walk out like a man
(repeat chorus)

Beg Your Pardon
Composer(s): Francis Craig; Harry Beasley Smith

and various other artists
If I lose my head, beg your pardon

But if some sunny day
you'll let me have my way
I won't have to say, beg your pardon

Last Train To Amsterdam
Last Train To Amsterdam
Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
There's an old soul waitin' to be born
There's a scarecrow standin' in the corn
On of thems wishin' for the light of day
One of them is chasin' all the black crows away
Well I'm standing at the station and I don't know where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
There's a preacher out spreadin' the word
There's a blond in a thunderbird
One of them tells me to kneel and pray
One of them gets to me in a real bad way
Well I got me a one way ticket to get me from where I am
And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
I'm standin' just south of Fate
There ain't no exit from the interstate
There's one way in, it's a long dirty road
Only one way our Robert Johnson knows
There's a hobo waitin' on a train
There's a hitch hiker standin' in the rain
One of them knows he's never going home
The other one feels God down in his bones

Before You Break My Heart
Before You Break My Heart
Composer(s): Harold Elton Box; Desmond Cox; Lewis Ilda
Performer(s): Sally Douglas & Archie Lewis
Before you break my heart
Let’s try again
Before you really say we’re through
Before you take the sun
And leave me the rain
Please think once again, what could I do, dear
Before we say goodbye
Why can’t we try
Forgiving and forgetting too
Before we have to part
Before you break my heart
Remember I’m in love with you
Look honey, before you break my heart
Let’s try again
What do you say, huh, honey?
Before we really say we’re through
Just give me one more chance
Before you take the sun
And leave me nothin’ but rain
Won’t you please think once again
What could I do? What could I do, dear?
So, darling, why can’t we try
Come on now, let’s try
Let’s try forgiving and forgetting
Just like sweethearts, please do
Before we have to part
Before you break my heart
Remember I’m in love with you

Last To Leave
Last To Leave
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie; Abrams Brothers
Lonely sunshine, days come easy
Spend my time alone at rest
And if I were the last to leave here
Now would these roads be any less?
Oh, I'm the last to leave
Now would these ribbon highway roads
Be less wonderful to me?
Why must I always be so slow?
Many friends come and go
You know there's a lot of feelings that I've left behind
And it's a lonely world, I know
When your friends are hard to find
But take the time, my memory fails
And soak my eyes in the morning rain
Like a sailor, sailing over Jordan
On the road back home again
Oh, I'm the last to leave
Would these ribbon highway roads
Be less wonderful to me?
Why must I always be so slow?

Before You Accuse Me
Composer(s): Ellas McDaniel
Originally performed by: Bo Diddley
Covered by various other artists
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been buying another woman clothes
But you've been talking to someone else
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
Your mama said, "Son, Don't call my daughter no more"
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been buying another woman clothes
But you've been taking money from someone else
Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time
Come on back home, baby; try y love one more time
You've been gone away so long, I'm just about to lose my mind
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been buying another woman clothes
But you've been talking to someone else
