Believe In Humanity
Believe In Humanity
Composer(s): Carole King
Performer(s): Carole King;
Margie Joseph; Spectrum
If you read the papers you may see
History in the making
You'll read what they say life is all about
They say it's there for the taking
Yeah, but you should rally check it out
If you want to know what's shaking
But don't tell me about the things you've heard
Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to believe in humanity
I know it's often true - sad to say
We have been unkind to one another
Tell me how many times has the golden rule
Been applied by man to his brother
I believe if I realll looked at what's going on
I would lose faith I never could recover
So don't tell me about the things you've heard
Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to believe in humanity

Laura c'est aussi le fantôme charmant
Laura chez moi reste présent
Ont vivrait dans la nuit d'été
Et tendrement tu prends du thé et partout
Laura devient la fée bénie
Ses yeux plein d'amour nous faufilent
Laura c'est le premier baiser doux
Et là rendra mes beaux rêves très doux
Ont vivrait dans la nuit d'été
Et tendrement tu prends du thé et partout
Laura devient la fée bénie
Ses yeux plein d'amour nous faufilent
Laura c'est le premier baiser doux
Et là rendra mes beaux rêves très doux

Believe (Cher)
Believe
Composer(s): Paul Barry - Matthew Gray - Brian Higgins - Stuart McLennan - Tim Powell - Steven Torch
First release by: Cher - 1998
Covered by multiple other artists
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
'Cause I've got time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough

Lara
Ik wil niet dat je weet waar ik sta
‘k Wou dat je voelde wat ik voel
Ik die nooit meer wegga
Lara
Je zegt niet of je wil dat ik ga
Hou jij je doof voor mijn verhaal
Of wil je dat ik doorga
Ik was gedreven als een dier
Ik had geen ziel, geen moraal
Mijn ogen waren blind voor jouw signaal
Geen ravijn en geen rivier
Geen getij of seizoen
Durfde me zeggen dat ik jou ooit pijn zou doen
Ohoh, Lara
Ik vluchte maar een droom achterna
Ik vond de zomer die ik wou
Maar nu weer van me wegsla
Ohoh, Lara
Ik weet niet meer of ik nog besta
Ik kan wel sterven van de kou
Nu ik weer voor jou sta
Ik heb je wereld omgedraaid
Zonder even stil te staan
Had ik je ooit gevraagd om mee te gaan
Maar toen de wind was uitgewaaid
Er was geen regen of geen zon
Dacht ik jou te zien ergens aan de horizon
Ohoh Lara
Ohoh Lara
Lara
Ik hijs de zeilen en ik volg jou
Ik neem het roer vlak achter jou
Ik wil het anker gooien en voorgoed
Al laat je me reizen naar de maan
Die jij voor me schijnen doet
Want jij alleen weet hoe ik varen moet
Ohoh Lara
Ohoh Lara
Oehoeh Lara

Belgium Put The Kibosh On The Kaiser
Belgium Put The Kibosh On The Kaiser
Composer(s): Ellerton
Performer(s): Mark Sheridan
A silly German sausage
Dreamt Napoleon he'd be
Then he went and broke his promise
It was made in Germany
He shook hands with Britannia
And eternal peace he swore
Naughty boy, he talked of peace
While he prepared for war
He stirred up little Serbia
To serve his dirty tricks
But naughty nights at LiIge
Quite upset this Dirty Dick.
His luggage labeled 'England'
And his programme nicely set
He shouted 'First stop Paris'
But he hasn't got there yet
For Belgium put the kibosh on the Kaiser
Europe took the stick and made him sore
On his throne it hurts to sit
And when John Bull starts to hit
He will never sit upon it any more
His warships sailed upon the sea
They looked a pretty sight
But when they heard the bulldog bark
They disappeared from sight
The Kaiser said 'Be careful
If by Jellicoe they're seen
Then every man-of-war I've got
Will be a submarine'
We chased his ship to Turkey
And the Kaiser startled stood
Schratch'd his head and said 'Don't hurt
You see I'm touching wood'
Thewn Turkey brought her warships
Just to aid the German plot
Be careful, Mr Turkey
Or you'll do the Turkey Trot
Belgium put the kibosh on the Kaiser
Europe took the stick and made him sore
And if Turkey makes a stand
She'll get ghurka'd and japanned
And it won't be Hoch the Kaiser any more
He'll have to go to school again
And learn his geography
He quite forgot Britannia
And the hands across the sea
Australia and Canada
the Russian and the Jap
And England looked so small
He couldn't see her on the map
Whilst Ireland seemed unsettled
'Ah' said he 'I'll settle John'
But he didn't know the Irish
Like he knew them later on
Though the Kaiser stirred the lion
Please excuse him for the crime
His lunatic attendant
Wasn't with him at the time
For Belgium put the kibosh on the Kaiser
Europe took the stick and made him sore
We shall shout with victory's joy
Hold your hand out, naughty boy
You must never play at soldiers any more
For Belgium put the kibosh on the Kaiser
Europe took the stick and made him sore
On his throne it hurts to sit
And when John Bull starts to hit
He will never sit upon it any more

Laura
Souvenir d'un film noir et blanc
Laura
Reflet dans un miroir
Poussière d'étoile tombée de l'écran
Qui vient danser dans ma mémoire
Je t'ai vue, Laura
Sur un mur, un peu déchirée
Pourtant, tu n'avais pas changé
À moi
Il ne reste que quelques rêves
Et toi Laura
Tu restes le plus beau
{x2:}
Laura
Souviens-toi, j'étais ton amant
Laura
Celui du premier rang
Sur une affiche un peu déchirée
J'ai vu Laura
Laura
Souvenir d'une chanson perdue
Laura
Echo dans ma mémoire

Belgian Bar
Belgian Bar
Composer(s): Eric Andersen
Performer(s): Eric Andersen
One snowy night alone in my house in Norway
I sat with pen, paper, and guitar and a candle by an old wood table
I felt a canopy in the air and the feeling of being somewhere else
I started to remember a time when I was with a close friend a couple years before
We had been in Brussels working on a film score together
and we had many good evenings hanging out in this ancient city in the middle of Europe
And this evening it came rushing back
As if I had stumbled into a cathedral of memory
After we finished the project we took a train to France
I went on to Venice and it was right before Christmas
We were living in a nice hotel on the avenue Louise
Working on a project there it was just my man and me
I was unattached back then like a puppet off his feet
A crazy pile of broken strings only one I had to keep
We walked around the corner saw the lights of a little bar
The mood there made me curious a chance to forget
Awhile inside a couple of tables a couple rock 'n roll cassettes
I was drinking rum that night with the barmaid speaking French
I wonder just how things have changed
I wonder where you are
And I wonder if a young French girl
Still works in a Belgian bar
Brussels in October the yellow gray's all I recall
The rain ran on forever like the wires on a trolley car
Walking down the new wet streets ancient wind blowin through my heart
The only face I couldn't see was the face of my true love
I dreamed about the lights of Nice the rust rocks of the coast
I dreamed about a frozen path to the one I missed the most
Then I guess it wasn't long before I was on my feet again
It must have happened someplace quiet cause I don't remember when
I wonder just how things have changed
I wonder where you are
And I wonder if a young French girl
Still works in a Belgian bar
When I look over my shoulder from the window of my train
I think about my man again who I heard has moved to Spain
We worked hard and we traveled some through France and Italy
When it rained down hard in Brussels it poured on you and me
And when my eyes got tangled in the honey colored hair
Of the girl ho poured the drinks that night when we were talkin there
She had eyes that seemed to drink us up and a crooked little smile
When we sailed off for the starry night and forever took a little while

Laughter In The Rain
Laughter In The Rain
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka - Phil Cody
First release by: Neil Sedaka - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
Strolling along country roads with my baby
It starts to rain, it begins to pour
Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin
I feel a shiver run up my spine
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
After a while we run under a tree
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

Laughter And Forgetting
Laughter And Forgetting
Composer(s): David Sylvian
Performer(s): David Sylvian
Running like a horse between the trees
The ground beneath my feet
Gives me something to hold on to
With the reins around my heart
Guided by hands that spread life before my very eyes
Well every hope falls down on it’s knees in time
But I’m no longer lost
Every day, every second, every hour inside
Love’s my only guide
Are these the years for laughter and forgetting?

Beleza
Beleza
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Brandão
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Beleza só se tem quando se acende a lamparina
Iluminando a alma se entende a própria sina
E quando se vê o arame que amarra toda gente
Pendendo das estacas sob um sol indiferente
Beleza só depois de uma sangria desatada
Aberta na ferida dos perigos do amor
E quando se afasta a sombra triste do remorso
Que impede olhar pra dentro para enfrentar a dor
Repara este silêncio que se estende da janela
Repassa o teu passado e come o lixo que ele encerra
Vagar sem remissão é também parte da questão
Juntar estas migalhas para refazer o pão
Não é da natureza que ele surge confeitado
Mas é desta tristeza, deste adubo de rancor
Beleza é o temporal que suja e corta uma visão
E esmaga qualquer sonho com um grito de pavor

Laughing On The Outside
Laughing On The Outside
Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Bernie Wayne
Performer(s): Dinah Shore
and multiple other artists
The crowd sees me out dancing
Carefree and romancing
Happy with my someone new
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love with you
They see me night and daytime
Having such a gay time
They don't know what I go through
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love with you
No one knows it's just a pose
Pretending I'm glad we're apart
And when I cry, my eyes are dry
The tears are in my heart
My darling, can't we make up?
Ever since our breakup
Make believe is all I do
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love
I am still in love with you

Belexes
Belexes
Composer(s): Kerry Livgren
Performer(s): Kansas; Proto-Kaw
Oh, I cannot tell you to make up your mind
And gather together the best of your kind
The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait
You've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've tried
So much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah
Look at the heads buried deep in the sand
Hiding from evil made by their own hand
The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait
You've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've tried
So much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah

Performer(s): Tony Iommi; Henry Rollins
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
You ripped yourself to shreds
While I stood laughing
You'd like to see me pay
For the time you're having
You'll walk that line again
You'll try to die again
You'll waste your nights just thinking of me
As the needle finds the vein
As the bullet goes through the brain
As your city meets the sea
As you're drowning, think of me
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
I am the lord of crime
The laughing man in a devil mask
I am the birth of crime
The laughing man in a devil mask
Drop to your knees again
The laughing man in a devil mask
Tie off and die again
The laughing man in a devil mask
Push the rock back up the hill
You start to feel like you're standing still
Your life lies broken for all to see
You'll hear the laughter, then you'll see me
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
Tender flock, led astray
You always knew it would be this way
You just go now, no need to ask
You are the face behind the devil mask
The laughing man in the devil mask
Laughing man in the devil mask
I'm laughing, I'm laughing
You're burning, you're burning
The laughing man in the devil mask
The laughing man in the devil mask
Burn, burn
Burn while I'm laughing

Belda-Beast
Composer(s): Erik Braunn
Performer(s): Iron Butterfly
Size is decreasing
Under transparent purple skies
The life you’ve chased seen thru my eyes
Was distorted, filled with lies
Your hopes are bouncing in front of your eyes
As you jump to catch them floating so high
Bye, bye
A top comes a-spinning into your life
And you’ve reached a height
Threatening destruction in a way that we know too well
Sitting on the limb of love with my friends
Sitting here all alone
Life without malice can you call this bluff
And say without knowing it’s hard enough
Bye, bye
A top comes a-spinning into your life
And you’ve reached a height
Life without malice can you call this bluff
And say without knowing it’s hard enough
Bye, bye
Bye, bye

Laughing Boy
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson
Performer(s): Mary Wells
Laughing Boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
That's what they used to call you
Before you found a new love to take my place
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Laughing Boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
That's what they used to call you
You always wore a smile upon your face
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
But as I look at you now, I know that somehow
The smile you're wearing is untrue
Laughing Boy (Laughing Boy), I think you're blue
Your new love (your new love)
She really must have hurt you
She really must have filled your heart with pain
'Cause I know you well (know you well)
And you could never fool me
I know that somehow you're not the same
(La la la la la la la la)
As I look at you now, I know that somehow
When you say you're happy, you're lying
Laughing Boy (Laughing Boy), I believe you've been crying
(La la la la la la la la)
Don't you know that it's true, I still love you
Just as much as I did before
So Laughing Boy (come on home)
Come on home, Laughing Boy (come on home)
Come on home, Laughing Boy (come on home)
And smile once more

Beira-Mar
Beira-Mar
Composer(s): Gilberto Gil; Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Gilberto Gil
Na terra em que o mar não bate
Não bate o meu coração
O mar onde o céu flutua
Onde morre o sol e a lua
E acaba o caminho do chão
Nasci numa onda verde
Na espuma me batizei
Vim trazido numa rede
Na areia me enterrarei
Ou então nasci na palma
Palha da palma no chão
Tenho a alma de água clara
Meu braço espalhado em praia
E o mar na palma da mão
No cais, na beira do cais
Senti o meu primeiro amor
E num cais que era só um cais
Somente ao redor
Mas o mar não é todo mar
Mar que em todo mundo existe
Ou melhor, é o mar do mundo
De um certo ponto de vista
De onde só se avista o mar
A ilha de Itaparica
A Bahia é que é o cais
A praia, a beira, a espuma
E a Bahia só tem uma
Costa, clara, litoral
É por isso que o azul
Cor de minha devoção
Não qualquer azul, azul
De qualquer céu, qualquer dia
O azul de qualquer poesia
De samba tirado em vão
É o azul que agente fita
No azul do mar da Bahia
É a cor que lá principia
E que habita em meu coração

Laughing
Composer(s): Randy Bachman - Burton Cummings
First release by: The Guess Who - 1969
I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn't realize that I was waiting
Time goes slowly but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing
Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me
Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me
Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
I go alone now, calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years, the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize, that you were laughing
Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me
Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me
Laughing -- oh, what you're doin' to me
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
Oo!
Laughing -- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Laughing -- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Laughing -- well, you're laughin' at me
Laughing -- well, you're laughin' at me
Laughing -- oh, what you're doin' to me, girl
Laughing -- I'm a-lookin', you're laughin'
Laughing -- I'm a-lookin', you're laughin'
Laughing -- you're a-lookin', I'm a-laughin'
Laughing -- laughin' at me
Laughing -- ah, but you're a-laughin', baby
