Bed And Breakfast Man
Bed And Breakfast Man
Composer(s): Mike Barson
Originally performed by: Madness
Well there's a man I know
At least I used to years ago
I didn't really mind
He used to come 'round all the time
Of course he had to be fed
I had to give him a bed
He used to kip on my sofa
They used to call him a loafer
I've heard he's changed
A lot since then
But some of his ways
He just can't mend
Told the other day
That he'd offered to pay
He didn't like his dad
He earned all he ever had
He didn't have no shame
He was a master at his game
He never showed his hand
He was the bed and breakfast man
He was, he was the bed and breakfast man...

Last Day Of Dawn
Last Day Of Dawn
Composer(s): Jim Capaldi
Performer(s): Jim Capaldi
Can't stop this aching inside my heart
Can't stop this feeling that's tearing me apart
It's been with me ever since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn
Can't stop the sun from setting in the west
Can't stop the this pressure inside my chest
It's been with me ever since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn
On the last day of dawn when the world is no more
And the last tiny pigeon's been swept off the floor
And nobody's calling out loud in their sleep
Cause the midnight entanglers thrown 'em all in a heap
Can't stop this aching in my heart
Can't stop this feeling that's tearing me apart
It's been with me since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn
Can't stop the sun from setting in the west
Can't stop this pressure inside my chest
And just like the singer when the curtain's been drawn
I'll fade in the shadows on the last day of dawn

Beco Dos Baleiros
Beco Dos Baleiros
Composer(s): Petrúcio Maia; Brandão
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Em minha rua
Não há noite nem há dia
Não há vida nem há morte
Não há pranto nem cantar
A minha rua
Não é cheia nem vazia
Não tem destino nem sorte
Nem norte nem viajar
Em minha rua
Não há chuva nem há frio
Não há calor nem estio
Não há rio não há mar
Nenhuma lua
Nenhum sol nenhum segredo
Não há gloria não há medo
Não há cor nem há olhar
Em qualquer parte
Na calçada ou no batente
Eu me deito eu me sento
E pego o meu violão
Em qualquer parte
Talvez não seja direito
Eu me sento eu me deito
Preparo meu coração
Deixo que o vento
Traga estampas coloridas
Em papéis de chocolate
Prá cobrir minha canção
Deixo que o vento
Traga a morte que eu não tive
Traga a noite que não vive
Dentro do meu coração

The Last Dance
The Last Dance
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen - Sammy Cahn
First recording/First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1958/1959
It's the last dance, we've come to the last dance
They're dimming the lights down, they're hoping we'll go
It's obvious they're aware of us, the pair of us, alone on the floor
Still I want to hold you like this forever and more
It the last song, they're playing the last song
The orchestra's yawning, they're sleepy I know
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
Save me the first dance in your dreams tonight
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight

Because You're Mine
Because You're Mine
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Nicholas Brodszky
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and various other artists
Because you're mine
The brightest star I see
Looks down, my love, and envies me
Because you're mine, because you're mine
Because you're mine
The breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody and why?
Because you're mine, because you're mine
I only know for as long as I may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because you're mine
I only know for as long as I may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because you're mine

Last Call For Alcohol
Last Call For Alcohol
Composer(s): Don Rollins
Performer(s): Charlie Walker
There's no blonde at the bar making eyes at me
So I don't suppose that I'd be cheerful company
Anyhow it's too late to even hope tonight
They just switched off the jukebox and turned on the lights
And it's last call for alcohol, oh, that's the worst of all
When the drinks are gone, the table's cleared and they tell me to go home
To a house where lives the pieces of my broken heart
Last call for alcohol and time for tears to start
'Cause there once was somebody in this life of mine
One to take her place I don't expect to find
But it might be a long long time before
She's back and the lights go on in my life once more
And it's last call for alcohol, oh, that's the worst of all
When the drinks are gone, the table's cleared and they tell me to go home
Waitress, tell 'em fix one more and pour it tall
I'll drink it fast, I know that it's last call for alcohol

Because You Love Me
Because You Love Me
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis
Performer(s): Buddy Holly
Because you love me
the stars are shining from the heavens above
From the heavens above
Because you love me the moon is beaming its light of love
Its light of love
If you should cease to care the world would stop
And oh the sun would turn cold
And the moon would drop, the waves in the ocean would cease to play
And night'd never turn to day
The birds and bees keep mating, the world keeps rotating
Because you love me because you're mine
Because you love me my heart is singin'
Each day's a thrill well every day's a new thrill
Old troubles behind me till the blues can't find me
Because you love me because you're mine
If you should cease to care the world would stop
And oh the sun would turn cold
And the moon would drop, the waves in the ocean would cease to play
And night'd never turn to day
The birds and bees keep mating, the world keeps rotating
Because you love me because you're mine

Lassie
Lassie
One still night among the silent hills
I learned a secret that I will share with you
In the hush, I heard the whippoorwills reveal
The Secret of the Silent Hills
Not a secret men scheme and plot for
Only true words, we should not forget
"Love can cure the world of all its ills"
And that's the Secret of the Silent Hills

Because We're Young
Because We're Young
Performer(s): Ral Donner
Because we're young, we want to live
And we must teach our heart strings
How to bend and give
Because we're young, when life is green
If your heart should be broken
Hold on to your dreams
While we're coming of age, dear
Heartaches it may bring
Soon we'll be passed that stage dear
Let's go out and have our frees
Because we're young, when love is new
As we search for tomorrow
Hold me close to you
So come what may, let's live each day
Songs are song, life is singin'
Because we're young

L'assassinat
L'assassinat
((Italian Version: Delitto Di Paese (Fabrizio De André) - 1965))
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
First release by: Georges Brassens - 1962
C'est pas seulement à Paris
Que le crime fleurit
Nous, au village, aussi, l'on a
De beaux assassinats
Il avait la tête chenue
Et le cœur ingénu
Il eut un retour de printemps
Pour une de vingt ans
Mais la chair fraîch', la tendre chair
Mon vieux, ça coûte cher
Au bout de cinq à six baisers
Son or fut épuisé
Quand sa menotte elle a tendue
Triste, il a répondu
Qu'il était pauvre comme Job
Elle a remis sa rob'
Elle alla quérir son coquin
Qu'avait l'appât du gain
Sont revenus chez le grigou
Faire un bien mauvais coup
Et pendant qu'il le lui tenait
Elle l'assassinait
On dit que, quand il expira
La langue ell' lui montra
Mirent tout sens dessus dessous
Trouvèrent pas un sou
Mais des lettres de créanciers
Mais des saisies d'huissiers
Alors, prise d'un vrai remords
Elle eut chagrin du mort
Et, sur lui, tombant à genoux,
Ell' dit: "Pardonne-nous!"
Quand les gendarm's sont arrivés
En pleurs ils l'ont trouvée
C'est une larme au fond des yeux
Qui lui valut les cieux
Et le matin qu'on la pendit
Ell' fut en paradis
Certains dévots, depuis ce temps
Sont un peu mécontents
C'est pas seulement à Paris
Que le crime fleurit
Nous, au village, aussi, l'on a
De beaux assassinats

Because We Both Are Young
Because We Both Are Young
Composer(s): Tom Bahler; Harry Shannon
Performer(s): The DeFranco Family
Because we both are young, they say we're not in love
But what do they know of this feeling that we share
I wish that I could find a way to tell them
we're so much more than friends
And how much we really care for one another
Because we both are young, they just don't understand
They say the things we've planned are only foolish dreams
But, girl, they just don't know the way
we feel when we're all alone
Or just talkin' on the telephone, so close together
I don't know what they're thinkin' of
Do they think that love is just for them all alone?
No matter what they say, we're gonna stay
together, and whatever, we'll do fine on our own
So, let them say that we'll grow up
and leave this all behind
But, girl, they must be blind
to the light in your eyes
But we don't need to prove a thing
to anyone, for we have just begun
And the best part of our lives is now
and all because, because we both are young
(repeat)

Delitto Di Paese
Delitto Di Paese
((Adapted from: L'assassinat (Georges Brassens) - 1962))
Composer(s): Georges Brassens - Fabrizio De André
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André - 1965
Non tutti nella capitale
sbocciano i fiori del male
qualche assassinio senza pretese
lo abbiamo anche noi in paese
Qualche assassinio senza pretese
lo abbiamo anche noi qui in paese
Aveva il capo tutto bianco
ma il cuore non ancor stanco
gli ritornò a battere in fretta
per una giovinetta
Gli ritornò a battere in fretta
per una giovinetta
Ma la sua voglia troppo viva
subito gli esauriva
in quattro baci e una carezza
l'ultima giovinezza
In quattro baci e una carezza
l'ultima giovinezza
Quando la mano lei gli tese
triste lui le rispose
d'essere povero in bolletta
lei si rivestì in fretta
D'essere povero in bolletta
lei si rivestì in fretta
E andò a cercare il suo compagno
partecipe del guadagno
e ritornò col protettore
dal vecchio truffatore
E ritornò col protettore
dal vecchio truffatore
Mentre lui fermo lo teneva
sei volte lo accoltellava
dicon che quando lui spirò
la lingua lei gli mostrò
Dicon che quando lui spirò
la lingua lei gli mostrò
Misero tutto sotto sopra
senza trovare un soldo
ma solo un mucchio di cambiali
e di atti giudiziari
Ma solo un mucchio di cambiali
e di atti giudiziari
Allora presi dallo sconforto
e dal rimpianto del morto
si inginocchiaron sul poveruomo
chiedendogli perdono
Si inginocchiaron sul poveruomo
chiedendogli perdono
Quando i gendarmi sono entrati
piangenti li han trovati
fu qualche lacrima sul viso
a dargli il paradiso
Fu qualche lacrima sul viso
a dargli il paradiso
E quando furono impiccati
volarono fra i beati
qualche beghino di questo fatto
fu poco soddisfatto
Qualche beghino di questo fatto
fu poco soddisfatto
Non tutti nella capitale
sbocciano i fiori del male
qualche assassinio senza pretese
lo abbiamo anche noi in paese
Qualche assassinio senza pretese
lo abbiamo anche noi qui in paese

Because The Night
Because The Night
Composer(s): Patti Smith; Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Patti Smith
and various other artists
Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now,
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

L'assassin Assassiné
L'assassin Assassiné
Composer(s): Jean-Loup Dabadie - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
C'était un jour à la maison
Je voulais faire une chanson
D'amour peut-être
À côté de la fenêtre
Quelqu'un que j'aime et qui m'aimait
Lisait un livre de Giono
Et moi penché sur mon piano
Comm' sur un établi magique
J'essayais d'ajuster les mots
À ma musique...
Le matin même, à la Santé
Un homme... un homme avait été
Exécuté...
Et nous étions si tranquilles
Là, au cœur battant de la ville
C'était un' fin d'après-midi
À l'heure où les ombres fidèles
Sortant peu à peu de chez elles
Composent doucement la nuit
Comm' aujourd'hui...
Ils sont venus à pas de loup
Ils lui ont dit d'un ton doux
C'est le jour... C'est l'heure
Ils les a regardés sans couleur
Il était à móitié nu
Voulez-vous écrire une lettre
Il a dit oui... il n'a pas pu
Il a pris une cigarette...
Sur mon travail tombait le soir
Mais les mots restaient dans le noir
Qu'on me pardonne
Mais on ne peut certains jours
Écrire des chansons d'amour
Alors j'ai fermé mon piano
Parol's et musiqu' de personne
Et j'ai pensé à ce salaud
Au sang lavé sur le pavé
Par ses bourreaux
Je ne suis président de rien
Moi je ne suis qu'un musicien
Je le sais bien...
Et je ne prends pas de pose
Pour dir' seulement cette chose
Messieurs les assassins commencent
Oui, mais la Société recommence
Le sang d'un condamné à mort
C'est du sang d'homme, c'en est encore
C'en est encore...
Chacun son tour, ça n'est pas drôle
On lui donn' deux trois paroles
Et un peu... d'alcool...
On lui parle, on l'attache, on le cache
Dans la cour un grand dais noir
Protège sa mort des regards
Et puis ensuite... ça va très vite
Le temps que l'on vous décapite
Si je demande qu'on me permette
À la place d'une chanson
D'amour peut-être
De vous chanter un silence
C'est que ce souvenir me hante
Lorsque le couteau est tombé
Le crime a changé de côté
Ci-gît ce soir dans ma mémoire
Un assassin assassiné
Assassiné...

Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and various other artists
Because of you there's a song in my heart
Because of you my romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine
The moon and stars will say you're mine
Forever and never to part
I only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you
I only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you

Las Tardes Del Sol, Las Noches Del Agua
Las Tardes Del Sol, Las Noches Del Agua
Performer(s): Fito Páez
Todas las tardes del sol, todas las noches del agua
todas las cosas perdían color, todo en el aire flotaba
niña bonita, mi amor
qué es ésa cabeza gacha
todos preguntan que hicimos con vos
porque no come ni habla
Algo andará pasando, andará rondando por Villaguay...
Hay un extraño fulgor
entre las flores del alba
ella se esconde y sus ojos no ven
ya no hay registro de nada...
hasta que un día después, algo cambió en su mirada
sólo repite una frase en inglés, ojos de india sagrada...
Y ella no quiso ver sus caras de terror
lloraba eternamente sola
I love you, love you so
la desesperación, los gritos del horror
Santa Rosa de Lima abandonó su corazón,
y el pueblo decidió que había una razón,
sonaron las campanas
era la furia de dios
el mal tomó su piel, también tomó su voz
nunca aprendió el inglés
el exorcismo será hoy, I love you, love you so
I love you, love you so
Algo andará pasando, andará rodando por Villaguay...

Because Of Rain
Because Of Rain
Composer(s): Nat King Cole; William O. Harrington; Ruth Poll
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Ella Fitzgerald
Because of rain I fell in love with you
The raindrops seem to want to help me, too
Because of rain we stayed indoors and watched it pour
That’s how I found the one that I adore
Because of rain we stole a kiss or two
The cloudy day gave way to skies of blue
We must thank the misty, moisty windowpane
We found our love because of rain
Because of rain we stole a kiss or two
The cloudy day gave way to skies of blue
We must thank the misty, moisty windowpane
We found our love because of rain

Las Ruinas
Las Ruinas
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Los caldeos, los asirios, la Roma del poder
supieron resumir mejor
lo helenos, los egipcios, los hijos de Israel
ya estaban conversado del amor
Hubo templos y ciudades sólo para adorar
el culto del alma y la piel
hubo diosas seductoras y bosque para amar
y hasta la guerra hubo por una mujer
¿Qué te podría decir desde hoy?
¿Qué ceremonia podría venerar?
Siglos pesados como coliseos
aplastan cualquier invención
Hay piedras, hay ruinas oyéndome hablar
oyendo decir: te amo, te amo
Palabras que han cruzado el desierto entre dos
circundaron la tierra y volvieron del sol
...te amo, te amo...
Después de pasado tanto, no puede importar
que ponga un dedo en el amor
que me guste observarte a través del cristal
de un vaso dibujado con color
Es lo que nos han dejado. Me debo conformar
con la simpleza de querer
me dedico a poner flores alrededor de ti
y palmo a palmo a bendecir tu piel
El siglo XX no da tiempo a más
en su corriente se ahogan las ruinas
Mas el torbellino se para a momentos
y hay calma y hay contemplación
Entonces las ruinas pueden escuchar
pueden sonreír: te amo, te amo...
Cuelgan de las palabras
sargazos del mar
Son cristales de la nieve y sabor de la sal
...te amo, te amo...
Del polvo de las ruinas se levanta el amor
polvo que se respira y de nuevo voló
