Life Begins At Forty
Life Begins At Forty
Composer(s): Jack Yellen - Ted Shapiro
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
I've often heard it said and sung
That life is sweetest when you're young
And kids, sixteen to twenty-one
Think they're having all the fun
I disagree, I say it isn't so
And I'm one gal who ought to know
I started young and I'm still going strong
But I've learned as I've gone along.......
That life begins at forty
That's when love and living start to become a gentle art
A woman who's been careful finds that's when she's in her prime
And a good man when he's forty knows just how to take his time
Conservative or sporty, it's not until you're forty
That you learn the how and why and the what and when
In the twenties and the thirties you want your love in large amounts
But after you reach forty, it's the quality that counts
Yes, life begins at forty
And I've just begun to live all over again
You see the sweetest things in life grow sweeter as the years roll on
Like the music from a violin that has been well played upon
And the sweetest smoke is from a mellow, broken and old pipe
And the sweetest tasting peach is one that's mature, round and ripe
In the twenties and the thirties you're just an amateur
But after you reach forty, that's when you become a connoisseur
Then it isn't grab and get it and a straight line for the door
You're not hasty, you're tasty, you enjoy things so much more
For instance, a novice gulps his brandy down, he doesn't understand
Observe a connoisseur, the way he holds it in his hand
How he strokes the glass, fondles it, warms it as he should
Smaks his lips, aahhh, slowly sips, hah, boy, it tastes good
Life begins at forty
Then it isn't hit and run and you find much more fun
You romance a girl of twenty and it costs you all your dough
But when a forty thanks you, she hates to see you go
And girls of twenty, all they want are big men
Big men with strong physiques
I don't say that it's bad
But you do get tired of those damn Greeks
Life begins at forty
And I'm just living all over again

Burning Down The House
Burning Down The House
Composer(s): David Byrne; Chris Frantz;
Jerry Harrison; Tina Weymouth
Performer(s): Talking Heads
and various other artists
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight, wait till the party's over
Hold tight, We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame
My house, S'out of the ordinary
That's might, Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

Life And Breath
Life And Breath
Composer(s): Sonny Geraci - Walter Nims
Performer(s): Climax
"If you believe in dreams enough
Then they'll believe in you"
That's what she used to tell me
So I know it must be true
So day after day I'm dreaming
You'll come back to me
'Cause you are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
I'll buy your favourite flowers
From the lady down the street
And hurry to the corner
Where we always used to meet
And night after night
I sit and watch the curtains falling
You are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
They say I should be forgetting you
But how can I forget the moon and the stars
Or the heavens of blue
'Cause they're all just a part of you
"If you believe in love enough
Love will never die"
That's what you used to tell me
So I know it's not a lie
So time after time
I come here and I wait for you
I guess I'll always wait for you
'Cause you are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
Oh, you are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
Yeah, you are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
Yeah, you ...

Burning Down One Side
Burning Down One Side
Composer(s): Robbie Blunt; Robert Plant; Jezz Woodroffe
Performer(s): Robert Plant
Slipped through the window by the back door
Caught short in transit with my love
Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance
How could I fall without a shove
Tip-toed like thunder on my feelings
You rock me gently with your sighs
My knees are weak - my head is reeling
Consumed by the fire in your eyes
Stepped in and shattered my defences
Just playing hookey with my heart
Slipped through the window by the back door
And took the keys to my poor heart, yes my poor heart
Try as I might - try as I may
Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Cause I need your love - yes I need your love
I'm looking high - I'm looking low,
Can't find where did my baby go
Gotta find out why she ran away
I don't know where did my baby stay
Try as I might - try as I may
Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour
Shoot through the neon in the night
Hot foot through alleys - check the doorways
Try that old parking lot on Ninth
There's three-course kissing in the same place
But that don't help me out no more
I've been away so long and dreaming
Little girl ain't I seen you before

Lieve Heer, Heb Medelij
Lieve Heer, Heb Medelij
Composer(s): Rocco Granata
Performer(s): Willem Barth
Lalala...
Als twee mensen altijd wensen saam te zijn
Heel hun leven liefde geven, zonneschijn
Worden zij soms bang voor wat eens komen zou
Dan hoor je hun smeken overal
Lieve heer, heb medelij
Hou voor ons een plaatsje vrij
Wij willen zo dolgraag altijd samen zijn
Eenmaal klimmen wij omhoog
Samen langs de regenboog
Schrijft u nu vast op hoe onze namen zijn
Lieve heer, heb medelij
Eenmaal is het hier voorbij
Zet u niemand boven tussen haar en mij
De tijd die gaat maar voort
Eens wacht de hemelpoort
Maak ons dan blij en hou een plaatsje vrij
Lalala...
Veel van waarheid op deze aarde raak je kwijt
Je verdwijnt, er komt een einde, hoogste tijd
Moederziel alleen maak je je laatste reis
En dan zoek je naar een paradijs
Lieve heer, heb medelij
Hou voor ons een plaatsje vrij
Wij willen zo dolgraag altijd samen zijn
Eenmaal klimmen wij omhoog
Samen langs de regenboog
Schrijft u nu vast op hoe onze namen zijn
Lieve heer, heb medelij
Eenmaal is het hier voorbij
Zet u niemand boven tussen haar en mij
De tijd die gaat maar voort
Eens wacht de hemelpoort
Maak ons dan blij en hou een plaatsje vrij
Lalala ...

Burning Bridges
Burning Bridges
Composer(s): Mike Curb; Lalo Schifrin
Originally performed by: Mike Curb Congregation
Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Lies (Through The 80's)
Lies (Through The 80's)
Composer(s): David "Fathead" Newman
Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band
We're all gonna live out the Hollywood dream
Everything's gonna be just what it seems
Gonna find a better way to run our cars
All through the Eighties
'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars
All through the Eighties
The Video Screen will open up the door
All through the Eighties
Information - there'll be more and more
All through the Eighties
Will the man on the street finally know the score
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
The play's been written we'll all be in the cast
All through the Eighties
And our feet are gonna point away from the past
All through the Eighties
Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride
We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
Time will go and the years fly by
All through the Eighties
And we'll have another slice of American Pie
All through the Eighties
Credit card living, push button cash
All through the Eighties
We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash
All through the Eighties
And another generation will "Talk about their Generation"
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say ...

Burnin' Bush
Burnin' Bush
Composer(s): Jerry Peters
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire
What does it take to show an illustration
Of the hurt and the pain of a nation
One glowing look upon a ragged canvas
Tells the story of our past and present situation
That old bush just keeps on burning
Nobody seems to show they're learning
That old bush just keeps on burning
I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Our way of life on total exhibition
Shows the way in which we live of an
Imperfect nation
This tree of life so far from perfeciton
Share a little love to improve our situation
That old bush just keeps on burning
Share the hope for future learning
I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Flow of light could really stand a listen
Bring the dark to the light, show us
What we've been missing
Not many men are satisfied
Without no light, there ain't no pride
There's gonna come a time
Things that are on your mind
Trust and you will find
Everything in your mind
True love is here to find
Simple as number 9
Multiply you will find
Peace and love all the time

You told me you loved me

Lies lies lies yeah

Twisted truth and half the news
Can't hide it in your eyes
Lies lies lies yeah

Collected from around the world
Love lies on and an and on and on and on and
Lies lies lies yeah (They're gonna get you)

But I'm Not
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Don't you ever change your mind
Don't you ever be unkind
To me some say that (you're a fool)
Well I'm not
You might think that I'm a fool
But I'm not
If I take you to a dance
Don't let me catch you holding hands
With other boys
They think I'm cruel
Well I'm not
You might think that I'm being cruel
But I'm not
It's worth a little thought to think
Of how I fought for you
Even so you know I caught for you
Every bad dream you had and threw them away
There'll come a day
When I know you will say
All the things I said to you
Were the best things too
So don't you ever change your mind
And don't you ever be unkind
To me some say that (you're a fool)
Well I'm not, no no no no
You might think that I'm a fool
But I'm not
It's worth a little thought to think
Of how I fought for you
Even so you know I caught for you
Every bad dream you had and threw them away
There'll come a day
When I know you will say
All the things I said to you
Were the best things too
So don't you ever change your mind
And don't you ever be unkind
To me some say that (you're a fool)
Well I'm not, no no no no
You might think that I'm a fool

Burned
Burned
Composer(s): Neil Young
Originally performed by: Buffalo Springfield
Covered by various other artists
Been burned and with both feet on the ground
I've learned that it's painful comin' down
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin'
No time left and I know I'm losin'
Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down
Crashed, and my ears can't hear a sound
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin'
No time left and I know I'm losin'
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin'
No time left and I know I'm losin'
Burned and with both feet on the ground
I've learned that it's painful comin' down
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin'
No time left and I know I'm losin'
Do I have to come right out and say it
(Neil Young):
Do I have to come right out and say it
Tell you that you look so fine?
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
If it was a game I could play it
Trying to make it but I'm losing time
I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind
Chorus:
Indecision is crowding me
I have no room to spare
And I can't believe she cared
Like a dream she has taken me
And now I don't know where
And a part of me is scared
The part of me I shared
Once before
Do I have to come right out and say it
Tell you that you look so fine?
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
Chorus
Do I have to come right out and say it, girl
Tell you that you look so fine?
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
If it was a game I could play it
Trying to make it but I'm losing time
I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind
Do I have to come right out and say it, girl
Tell you that you look so fine?

Lied Voor Een Kind Dat Bang Is In Het Donker
Lied Voor Een Kind Dat Bang Is In Het Donker
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Lennaert H. Nijgh
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Binnen lig ik in m'n bed
Met gedachten aan daarbuiten
Waar kabouters vrolijk fluiten
Want die hebben altijd pret
Binnen in m'n warme hol
Hoor ik m'n gedachten lopen
Die tevoorschijn zijn gekropen
En ik voel me boordevol
Vol verwarring en plezier
Om de kou en ach, daar buiten
Klamme handjes op de ruiten
Van het een of and're dier
Vast een soort van chimpansee
Zal ik hem eens binnen laten
Nee, in God'snaam, laat maar praten
'k Zit genoeg in de puree
Lekker is het hier in bed
'k Heb m'n allermooiste dromen
Nu vanavond laten komen
En de wekker afgezet
Maar des nachts om twaalf uur
Komt een kerel van de zolder
Met een grote zak vol kolder
En een fles vol apezuur
Daarvan ben ik toch wel bang
Maar gelukkig gaan m'n kleren
Dan elkaar weer mores leren
En ze rennen door de gang
En ik hoor de hoge hoed
Op de kapstok zonder klagen
Want alleen om hem te plagen
Doen ze hem vol suikergoed
Maar ik voel me wat alleen
En een meisje komt me kussen
Wel wat lastig ondertussen
Al die vlinders om me heen
Maar nu heb ik dan m'n schat
Lekker in m'n warme bedje
Lekker dier, vooruit, wat let je
Heb je al een zoen gehad
Leiden is nog steeds een last
Maar dat kan me niet veel schelen
Want de maan, die ronde gele
Houdt de hemel toch wel vast
Maar helaas, de goeie fles
Waaruit ik m'n zoete dromen
Glanzend in m'n glas zag stromen
Is nu leeg, een harde les
En die fles is tot mijn spijt
Middelpunt van heel m'n leven
Met de wekker op half zeven
Zak ik door een eeuwigheid
O, het leven is een last
Met het werk van zeven weken
Onberoerd en onbekeken
Doelloos liggend in de kast
O, wat heb ik reuze spijt
Niets dan tranen is het leven
En ik zucht met Van 't Reve
"'t Is weer niks als narigheid"
Narrig snurkend in m'n slaap
Lig ik hier tot kwart voor achten
Op de dageraad te wachten
Morgen sta ik weer voor aap

We'll be comin home you know, mother
Lookin for that candle glow, mother
After we have had the wedding, mother
To the candle we'll be headin, mother
So, before we're winin', dinin', mother
Start that candle light a shinin', mother

Liebestraum
Liebestraum
Composer(s): Franz Liszt - Spike Jones
Performer(s): Spike Jones & his City Slickers
Thine love is mine
Thine heart with mine entwine, love
My soul for thee doth pine
Thine eye doth shine
Thine life with mine combine, love
Thou art my valentine
Lips like apple wine
Face like kalsomine (oh, fine)
My clinging vine
My voice for thee doth whine
You're older than Auld Lang Syne
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How you wonder who I am
Way up in the sky, so low
You're a better man than I am, oh, by Jove
The polar bear sleeps in his little bearskin
He sleeps very well, I am told
Last night I slept in my little bare skin
And I got a heck of a cold
Pease Porridge hot
Pease porridge cold
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine days old
Peehew!
