Beneath The Lights Of Home
Beneath The Lights Of Home (aka In A Little Old Sleepy Town)
Composer(s): Bernie Grossman; Walter Jurmann
Performer(s): Deanne Durbin
I can see the lights of home
Shining brightly o'er the foam
Beckon to me while I roam
Away from the lights of home
In that little old sleepy town
Nothing happens after the sun goes down
Nothing but moonbeams roam around
Beneath the lights of home
Turn the hands of time for me
Let me live in my memory
Once again I long to be
Beneath the lights of home

Beneath A Desert Moon
Beneath A Desert Moon
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting
From the mountains on the moon to the mighty delta
From the deserts of the West to the shining sea
Beneath the canopy of stars flows the serpent river
Flowing through my father's land that he left to me
From the baker, to the priest, to the candle maker
From the highest to the low in my father's land
We make our offer to the sun 'fore the break of morning
Or else everything we have will just turn to sand
I have a lot to ask
I have a lot that I need to say
I have so much do
And all I need is another day
From the soldier, to the scribe, to the carpet maker
All the different colored threads in a carpet loom
A woven tapestry of life is our mighty nation
This is the writing on the wall of my father's tomb
We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much do
And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon, I call you
beneath the desert moon, I sing
beneath the desert moon, so lonely
I'm just a boy who would be king
With just the moon to guide us
We sometimes lose our way
If there's a light inside us
We'll follow it to the brightness of the day
Every single blade of grass, every yellow flower
Every ripple on the sea of the blue, blue Nile
Every leaf on every tree, every single creature
From the smallest little bird, to the crocodile
We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much do
And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon, I call you
beneath the desert moon, we sing
beneath the desert moon, we're waiting
Before the coming of the king
Beneath the desert moon that's sinking
We see the Eastern sky's on fire
This is where darkness leaves
And shining waters fall
And let the shadows run
And we'll say, "welcome to the sun"

Lazy Day
Lazy Day
Composer(s): George Fischoff - Tony Powers
Performer(s): Spanky & Our Gang
Blue Skies, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park
Ice Cream, daydream til the sky becomes a blanket of stars
What a day for picking daisies and lots of red balloons
And what a day for holdin' hands and being with you
Lazy Day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane
Baby, you and me (baby, you and me)
And the honeybee (neath the shady tree)
Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day for you and me
Blue skies, sunshine, flowers bloomin', children sayin' "Hello"
Rowboats, bird notes, People smilin' everywhere that we go
What a day to be together, and what a sky of blue
And what a day for thinkin' right out loud "I love you"

Bend It!
Composer(s): Alan Blaikley; Ken Howard
Performer(s): Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit
And take it easy, show you're likin' it
And lover, you know that we're gonna hit
The heights 'cos I'm sure that we're made to fit
Together just like pieces of a
Jigsaw puzzle, what's the hustle
Bend it, bend it, just a little more
Without you, baby, I'm so insecure
But you can make me feel that I am sure
I've got a sickness only you can cure
So just relax, there's stacks of time, but honey
Please don't tease me - try to please me
Oh-yeah, that's good, oh-yes, ah-yes
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit
And take it easy, show you're likin' it
And lover, you know that we're gonna hit
The heights 'cos I'm sure that we're made to fit
Together just like pieces of a
Jigsaw puzzle, what's the hustle
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit
And take it easy, show you're likin' it
And ahhh... show me now, yeah that's right
Ah, oh yeah, yeah that's right
C'mon now, right right right ...

Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun....how you spect to get your day's work done?

You won't make no dime that way.....loafin' in the shade all day

Ben
Composer(s): Donald Black; Walter Scharf
Originally performed by: Michael Jackson
Covered by various other artists
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere (anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
(I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we")
Ben, most people would turn you away
(Turn you away)
I don't listen to a word they say
(A word they say)
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben

Lazy
Lazy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists
Every time I see a puppy
On a summers day
A puppy dog at play
My heart is filled with envy
That's why I'm in such a hurry
To pass the time away
Like the pup, I'm all fed up, and
Though it's wrong to be, I long to be
Lazy
I wanna be lazy
I'm longing to lay in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning
They call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by
I wanna peep
Through the deep
Tangled wildwood
Counting sheep
'Til I sleep
Like a child would
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
While I'm killing time, being lazy
Lazy
I wanna be lazy
I'm longing to lay in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning
They call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by
I wanna peep
Through the deep
Tangled wildwood
Counting sheep
'Til I sleep
Like a child would
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
While I'm killing time, being lazy
While I'm killing time, being lazy

Bem Querer
Bem Querer
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Quando o meu bem-querer me vir
Estou certa que há de vir atrás
Há de me seguir por todos
Todos, todos, todos o umbrais
E quando o seu bem-querer mentir
Que não vai haver adeus jamais
Há de responder com juras
Juras, juras, juras imorais
E quando o meu bem-querer sentir
Que o amor é coisa tão fugaz
Há de me abraçar com a garra
A garra, a garra, a garra dos mortais
E quando o seu bem-querer pedir
Pra você ficar um pouco mais
Há que me afagar com a calma
A calma, a calma, a calma dos casais
E quando o meu bem-querer ouvir
O meu coração bater demais
Há de me rasgar com a fúria
A fúria, a fúria, a fúria dos animais
E quando o seu bem-querer dormir
Tome conta que ele sonhe em paz
Como alguém que lhe apagasse a luz
Vedasse a porta e abrisse o gás

Lazarillo
Composer(s): T. de la Huerta y J. Torregrosa
Performer(s): Raphael
Naciste en un molino dentro del Tormes
Según dice quien tu historia escribió
Fuiste un niño tan famoso que tu nombre
Lazarillo de Tormes todo el mundo conoció
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, buen amigo
Que viviste sin tener hogar y sin fortuna
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, tu destino
Siempre fue burlar a quien te burló
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, vagabundo
Tu creciste siempre caminando por la vida
Y aprendiste con razón a ser listo en la ocasión
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, picarón
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, vagabundo
Que viviste sin tener hogar y sin fortuna
Quiero yo con mi canción alegrar tu corazón
Lazarillo, pillo, pillo, pillo, picarón

First release by: Derek and the Dominos - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

Below The Surface
Below The Surface
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Some people tell you they're trapped by the distance
And can't get what they want most
They throw a wall and then call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close
(Chorus)
Oh, I think you should know
You've got to go slow below the surface
And easy through the waves
You better go slow below the surface
And easy through the waves
You're running so fast that you can't find the past
And your future is wearing thin
Come from behind it's a matter of time
'Til you see where you've always been
(Chorus)
Some people tell you they're in trapped by the distance
And can't get what they want most
They throw up a wall and then call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close
Oh, I think you should know
You've better go slow below the surface
And easy through the waves
You better go slow below the surface
And easy through the waves
You know that your life must have a purpose
You better make a stand while you still can

Laying Down The Law
Laying Down The Law
Composer(s): Andrew Farriss - Dave Banks - Gary Beers - Jon Farriss - Kirk Pengilly - Michael Hutchence
Performer(s): INXS; Jimmy Barnes
Yow!
I'm laying down the law
A showdown in the north land
Just a whiff of corruption
It's the tip of the iceberg
Savour it, sweet liberty
And there's trouble from the south
Shout it from the gallery
Now fine, I got to shout it out
I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the year
There's no need to tell you
What I think has gone wrong
There's gray clouds on descendtion
That show, that show a silver lining
Sweet blood on my razor
Is it poetry or politics
Forget about the nightmare
And make it a dream that changes everything
And I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the year
No, you don't understand
Listen!
Listen to me!
Sweet blood on my razor
Is it poetry or politics
Forget about the nightmare
And make a dream that changes everything
Well, I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the years
I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
And break through darkened nights
And take me through the year
I'm searching for the light
To kill my sense of fear
I'm searching for the light
To save it through the years

Beloved
Beloved
Composer(s): Nicholas Brodszky; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Mario Lanza
and various other artists
Tonight was just a masquerade
Tomorrow just another day
Let come whatever, tonight or never
I'll throw the mask away
Beloved! With all my heart I love you
With ev'ry breath I pray some day you will be mine
Summer or spring
Winter or fall
You are my life, my love, my all
Beloved! The very stars above you
Are jealous of the way your eyes sparkle and shine
Day after day
Near or apart
I try to say, be still my trembling heart
But try though I may, I cannot hide
This passion inside, that won't be denied
If this be madness, then, call it madness
I only know I'll never rest 'til you are mine
Beloved! Believe me when I tell you
From now until the last bright star fades from the blue
Now and forever, whatever I do
Beloved! I love you!

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
