((Adapted from: Branle De L'official (Thoinot Arbeau))
Composer(s): Thoinot Arbeau - Charles Wood - George Woodward

Ding dong merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding dong verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E'en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swungen
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen
Ding dong merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding dong verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers
Ding dong merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding dong verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

It's Probably Me
It's Probably Me
Composer(s): Eric Clapton; Michael Kamen; Sting
Performer(s): Sting
and multiple other artists
If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold, cold ground
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
My only friend, who could it be
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
When you belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
Some would say I should let you go your way
You'll only make me cry
But if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defence
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
And if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

los cánticos de mi tierra

Your baby doesn't love you anymore
Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore
Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you anymore, it's over
It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do?
When she says to you "There`s someone new"
"We're throu-oo-ough, we're through?"
It's over, it's over, it's over
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you "That's all, that's all"
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

First release by: Bobby Vee with The Johnny Mann Singers - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists
They say that you're a run-around lover
Though you say it isn't so
But if you put me down for another I'll know, believe me, I'll know
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see if you are true to me
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes
You say that you're at home when you phone me
And how much you really care
Though you keep telling me that you're lonely
I'll know if someone is there
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see if you are true to me
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes
One of these days you're gonna be sorry
'Cause your game I'm gonna play
And you'll find out without really trying
Each time that my kisses stray
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes will see me too
And no matter what I do
I could never disguise all my little white lies
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes

It's Over (Jimmie Rodgers)
It's Over
Composer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
First release by: Jimmie Rodgers - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share
Would always be
There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over
When you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun
That rises over the land
I watch you walk away
Somehow I have to let you go
Now it's over
If you knew just how I really feel
You might return and yet
There are so many times
That people have to love and then forget
Oh there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over
So I turn my back
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Trying not to think at all
I send my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share
Would always be
There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over
It's over

Det Kimer Nu Til Julefest
Det Kimer Nu Til Julefest
Composer(s): Nikolai Frederick Severin Grundtvig - Carl C.N. Balle
Performer(s): Stig Rossen; Anne-Charlotte Harvey
Det kimer nu til julefest
det kimer for den høje gæst
som steg til lave hytter ned
med nytårsgaver: fryd og fred
O, kommer med til Davids by
hvor engle sjunger under sky
o, ganger med på marken ud
hvor hyrder hører nyt fra Gud!
Og lad os gå med stille sind
som hyrderne til barnet ind
med glædestårer takke Gud
for miskundhed og nådesbud!
O Jesus, verden vid og lang
til vugge var dig dog for trang
for ringe, om med guld tilredt
og perlestukken, silkebredt
Men verdens ære, magt og guld
for dig er ikkun støv og muld
i krybben lagt, i klude svøbt
et himmelsk liv du har mig købt
Velan, min sjæl, så vær nu glad
og hold din jul i Davids stad
ja, pris din Gud i allen stund
med liflig sang af hjertens grund!
Ja, sjunge hver, som sjunge kan
Nu tændes lys i skyggers land
og ret som midnatshanen gol
blev Jakobs stjerne til en sol!
Nu kom han, patriarkers håb
med flammeord og himmeldåb
og barnet tyder nu i vang
hvad David dunkelt så og sang
Kom, Jesus, vær min hyttegæst
hold selv i os din julefest
da skal med Davidsharpens klang
dig takke højt vor nytårssang!

First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
If I could stick a pen in my heart
I would spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange?
Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya a love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried?
If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely
If I could stick a knife in my heart, suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain?
Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart feelings would flood the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane?
He's insane
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely
And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it

People see us everywhere

My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me

My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything

Tommy James & The Shondells
You can’t laugh, you can’t cry
Your actin’ kinda funny and you don’t know why
'Cause your heart keeps beatin’ like a big bass drum
And the beat's gettin’ strong and it’s so much fun
And you keep on singin’ but the words are wrong
And you can’t stop laughin’, baby what’s goin’ on
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
You can’t run, you can’t hide
No matter what you do you're on a ten cent ride
Goin’ up, down baby and it’s so much fun
And your heart keeps beatin’ like a big bass drum
And the beat's gettin’ strong and it just won’t quit
Better hold on baby, 'cause you know that
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through
It’s only love, tryin’ to get through

Hostess with the Mostes' on the Ball
Hostess with the Mostes' on the Ball
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ethel Merman
I was born on a thousand acres of Oklahoma land
Nothing grew on the thousand acres for it was gravel and sand
One day, father started digging in a field, hoping to find some soil
He dug and he dug and, what do you think?
Oil, oil, oil
The money rolled in and I rolled out
With a fortune piled so high
Washington was my destination
And now, who am I?
I'm the chosen party giver
For the White House clientele
And they know that I deliver
What it takes to make 'em gel
And in Washington I'm known by one and all
As the hostess with the mostest on the ball
They would go to Elsa Maxwell
When they had an axe to grind
They could always grind their axe well
At the parties she designed
Now the hatchet grinders all prefer to call
On the hostess with the mostest on the ball
I've a great big bar and good caviar
Yes, the best that can be found
And a large amount in my bank account
When election time comes round
If you're feeling presidential
You can make it, yes indeed
There are just three things essential
Let me tell you, all you need
Is an ounce of wisdom and a pound of gall
And the hostess with the mostest on the ball
Entertaining vodka drinkers
Is a job they give to me
Making nice guys out of stinkers
Seems to be my cup of tea
What they really need behind the iron wall
Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball
There's a book of regulations
As to who sits next to who
But there might be complications
When the blue blood's not so blue
So the priestess with the leastest protocol
Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball
An ambassador has just reached the shore
He's a man of many loves
An important gent from the Orient
To be handled with kid gloves
He can come and let his hair down, ooh!
Have the best time of his life
Even bring his new affair down
Introduce her as his wife
But she mustn't leave her panties in the hall
Of the priestess with the leastest
Nor the hostess with the mostest
With the mostest on the ball

I get high when I see you go by
My oh my
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies
Butterflies
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Is it right that you and I should fight
Ev'ry night?
Just the sight of you makes night time bright
Very bright
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you -- loving you

You go straight to my head as I lie in my bed

If you could share my wildest thoughts
Meet me in my mind

You'd want me all the time
You go straight to my head when I lie in my bed

It's only love so why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
It's only love then why am I hurting from it
It's only love if you're hurting too
Every dream I dream has got you in
And every minute with you means everything
I wanna take you there where you've never been
In my dreams
You go straight to my head as I lie in my bed
I just can't win
I can't help the state I'm in
It's only love so why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
It's only love so why am I hurting from it

Performer(s): Kate Bush; Christmas All Stars
December will be magic again
Take a husky to the ice
While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas
He makes you feel nice
December will be magic again
Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney
Just a-popping up in my memory
Ooh, dropping down in my parachute
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs
Ooh, and see how I fall
See how I fall
("Fall!")
Like the snow
Come to cover the lovers
(Cover the lovers
But don't you wake them up)
Come to sparkle the dark up
(Sparkle the dark up
With just a touch of make-up)
Come to cover the muck up
(Cover the muck up
Ooh, with a little luck)
December will be magic again
Light the candLe-lights
To conjure Mr. Wilde
Into the Silent Night
Ooh, it's quiet inside
Here in Oscar's mind
December will be magic again
Don't miss the brightest star
Kiss under mistletoe
I want to hear you laugh
Don't let the mystery go now
Ooh, dropping down in my parachute
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs
Ooh, and see how I fall
See how I fall
("Fall!")
Like the snow
Come to cover the lovers
(Cover the lovers
But don't you wake them up)
Come to sparkle the dark up
(Sparkle the dark up
With just a touch of make-up)
Come to cover the muck up
(Cover the muck up
Ooh, with a little luck)
Oh, I'm coming to cover the lovers
Ooh, and I'm coming to sparkle the dark up
Ooh, and I'm coming to cover the muck up

It's Only Love
Composer(s): Glyn Mason
Performer(s): Ariel
Sun sets in the evenin'
Like a stone in a wishing well
I hear the birds callin' on the wind softly
Like a chinese temple bell
Now it's only love (it's only love)
It's only love (it's only love) that makes it well
Man wakes in the mornin'
And tells a woman he's got to go
In her eyes he sees some kinda demon
What it is, he don't exactly know
It's only love (it's only love)
It's only love (it's only love) that makes it so
It's funny how people rebel
And spend their lives just runnin' away
We hide ourselves in our little shells
But you have to stop runnin' someday......aye......aye
Now it's only love (it's only love)
It's only love (it's only love) that makes it so
There's not much more to this story
Like a river flows on and on
It was here long before we started
It'll be here long after we're gone
Now it's only love (it's only love)
It's only love (it's only love)
Goes on and on, goes on and on
Now it's only love (it's only love)
It's only love (it's only love)
Goes on and on
