I like the way you walk
I like the way you talk
Let me hold your hand
Try to understand

Tell my love is true
Don't be afraid
You've heard what I said
Let the four winds blow
Let it blow and a-blow
From the east to the west
I love you the best

Let it blow and a-blow
From the east to the west

Bridget Flynn
Bridget Flynn
Composer(s): Will Millar
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I've a nice little house and a cow or two with grass
I've a plant garden running by my door
I've a shelter for the hens and a stable for the ass
Now what could a man want more?
I don't know, maybe so
But a bachelor's life is easy and it's free
I'm the last to complain, but I'm living all alone
Sure nobody's looking after me
Me father often tells me I should go and have a try
To find a girl that owns a bit of land
And I know the way he says it, there is someone on his mind
And my mother has the whole thing planned
I don't know, maybe so
It would mollify them so to agree
Now there's little Bridget Flynn, sure its her I'd like to win
But she never has an eye for me
Now there's a little girl who is worth her weight in gold
And that's a decent dowry, don't you see
And I mean to go and ask her just as soon as I get home
If she'll come and have an eye for me
Will she go, I don't know
But I'd love to have her sitting on my knee
And I'd sing like a thrush in the hawthorn bush
If she'd come and have an eye for me

Let The Feeling Flow
Let The Feeling Flow
Composer(s): Peabo Bryson
Performer(s): Peabo Bryson; Kelli Sae; Matt Jordan
Falling in love, it was easy at the start
I thought I had it in my hands
Something went wrong, somewhere we lost a part
It was more than we could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized
That I couldn't see the forest for the trees
What was wrong with me
There comes a time in every life
Love will come your way
And if it should stay
You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go, not love
It's a shining star that's here to guide you
Every lover knows
You've got to hold on to the good inside you
Let the feeling flow
And I'm sure love will grow
Falling in love, was so easy at the start
I thought I had it here in my hands, here in my hands
Something went wrong, somewhere I lost a part
More than I could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized
That I couldn't see the forest for the trees
Something's wrong with me (Here with me)
There comes a time in every life
Love will come your way
And if it should stay
You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go (Let the feeling flow), not love
It's a shining star that's here to guide you (Every lover)
Every lover knows
You've got to hold on (Hold on) to the feeling inside you (Feeling inside you)
Let the feeling flow
And I'm sure love will grow
Yeah, yeah
Let the feeling flow (Hold on)
Let it flow (Whoa...oh...oh...)
Let it flow (Yeah)
You've got, got to let (Feeling inside you)
Let it flow

Performer(s): Simple Minds - 1991
Time - way out of line
A whole nation waits outside
The rhythm of tomorrow
They can dance away their sorrows tonight
Lost - broken and scarred
Prisoner waits outside with his lone heart beating
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Let the children - let the children speak
Aims - dangerous games
Their mother says one false move and we all get hurt
I feel this sense of power I feel it every hour tonight
Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy cos
One more kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
I'm begging you now Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy cos
One last kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Things could get crazy tonight
Let's not get lazy cos
One last kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
I'm begging you now
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children

The language of this world
Let's not get lazy cos
One false move and we all get hurt
Let the children, let the children

When you're weary, feeling small

And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the streets
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness falls
And pain is all around
Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water

Let The Boy Rock And Roll
Let The Boy Rock And Roll
Composer(s): John Sebastian
First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1966
I heard Mama and Papa talkin' last night
And I heard Mama say to Papa: Let that boy rock and roll
The neighbor not complainin' and the schoolboy talked twice today
You know they think you're foolish, study or slippin' away
He don't think about nothin' 'cept the rock and roll records that
play
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
And he's gotta play music and you know we really can't say no
So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But Daddy, don't you call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy sing his song
In his brand new boots, he needs a foot from a kick in the town
If his music is groovy, you know he really can't go wrong
So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But please don't call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
If the music is groovy, you know we really can't say no

Who sang a song so very soft and tenderly
He met a little girl with a flower in her hair

Tell me that old love story
But not the same old lies
You know my heart is waiting for you dear
Here on the bridge of sighs

I'm yours tonight, so why keep me waiting
Here on the bridge of sighs
How many times we pledged our love anew
When little quarrels came our way

My love of happy yesterday
Tell me you're mine forever
Mine just to idolise
Take me away, stop breaking my heart dear

And he sailed the sea in 1492

And remember buddy there's still lots of room for you

Brian's Song
Brian's Song
Composer(s): Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman; Michel Legrand
Originally performed by: Michel Legrand
Covered by various other artists
If the hands of time
Were hands that I could hold
I'd keep them warm and in my hands
They'd not turn cold
Hand in hand we'd choose
The moments that should last
The lovely moments that should have
No future and no past
The summer from the top of a swing
The comfort in the sound of a lullaby
The innocence of leaves in the spring
But most of all the moment when love first touched me
All the happy days
Would never learn to fly
Until the hands of time would choose
To wave "Good-bye"

Brev Från Kolonien
Brev Från Kolonien
Composer(s): Amilcare Ponchielli; Cornelis Vreeswijk
Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk
Hejsan morsan, hejsan stabben!
Här e brev från älsklingsgrabben
Vi har kul på kolonien
vi bor tjugoåtta gangstergrabbar i en
stor barack med massa sängar
Kan ni skicka mera pengar?
För det vore en god gärning
jag har spelat bort varenda dugg på tärning
Här e roligt vill jag lova
fastän lite svårt att sova
Killen som har sängen över mej
han vaknar inte han när han behöver, nej!
Jag har tappat två framtänder
för jag skulle gå på händer
när vi lattjade charader
så när morsan nu får se mej får hon spader
Uti skogen finns baciller
men min kompis han har piller
som han köpt utav en ful typ
och om man äter dom blir man en jättekul typ
Föreståndarn han har farit
han blir aldrig vad han varit
för polisen kom och tog hand
om honom förra veckan när vi lekte skogsbrand
Uti skogen finns det rådjur
i baracken finns det smådjur
och min bäste kompis Tage
han har en liten fickkniv inuti sin mage
Honom ska dom operera
Ja, nu vet jag inget mera
Kram och kyss och hjärtligt tack sen
men nu ska vi ut och bränna grannbaracken!

Brejo Da Cruz
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and various other artists
A novidade
Que tem no Brejo da Cruz
É a criançada
Se alimentar de luz
Alucinados
Meninos ficando azuis
E desencarnando
Lá no Brejo da Cruz
Eletrizados
Cruzam os céus do Brasil
Na rodoviária
Assumem formas mil
Uns vendem fumo
Tem uns que viram Jesus
Muito sanfoneiro
Cego tocando blues
Uns têm saudade
E dançam maracatus
Uns atiram pedra
Outros passeiam nus
Mas há milhões desses seres
QUe se disfarçam tão bem
Que ninguém pergunta
De onde essa gente vem
São jardineiros
Guardas noturnos, casais
São passageiros
Bombeiros e babás
Já nem se lembram
Que existe um Brejo da Cruz
Que eram crianças
E que comiam luz
São faxineiros
Balançam nas construções
São bilheteiras
Baleiros e garçons
Já nem se lembram
Que existe um Brejo da Cruz
Que eram crianças
E que comiam luz
