Brighton Rock (Elastica)
Brighton Rock
Composer(s): Elastica; Justine Frischmann
Performer(s): Elastica
We were sauced right there on Brighton beach
You a goth and I was such a peach
I sought to be the best at it
PC Plod he still arrested it
We're getting over it
We're sweating over it
That makes you happy
I'm happy too
You're game in spite of everything
and then she'll be some things
Your name carved on my Brighton rock
My name can be your mental block
We're getting over it
We're sweating over it
That makes you happy
I'm happy too

Brighton Hill
Brighton Hill
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon; Jimmy Holiday; Randy Myers
Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon
Brighton Hill, where the sky changes its color
Hopes are high, there's no other place I'd rather be
Find your dream by a tree out in the meadow
Where the flowers are yellow, life is what it seems
Brighton Hill is a feelin' within me
Anybody goin' that way?
Brighton Hill is a friend & will be
Till my dying day
Till my dying day
I've got a lot of livin' to do
I've got a lot of livin' to do
Brighton Hill, with its green fields of clover
That's where kindness reigns over everything around
& livin' good on a bicycle Sunday
You can have such a fun day up on Brighton Hill
Brighton Hill is a feelin' within me
Anybody goin' that way?
Brighton Hill is a friend & will be
Till my dying day
Anybody goin' that way?
Brighton Hill, a feelin' within me
Anybody goin' that way? ...

Let There Be Music
Let There Be Music
Composer(s): Johanna Hall - Larry Hoppen
Performer(s): Orleans
When the world was in trouble
and it looked like there was hell to pay
Fire, Fire everywhere!
and the news got worse each day
Well, people really wondered
just how long they could hold out
God looked down from heaven above
and He began to shout
Let there be music
Let it shine like the sun
Let there be music
Everybody's got to have some fun
It's so hard to keep on smilin'
when people try to make you frown
But, we're all in this together
So why run one another down
You know we can't expect our problems
to grow wings and fly away
So fight the fight just as hard as you can
when it's time for you to play
Let there be music
Let it shine like the sun
Let there be music
Everybody's got to have some fun
Let there be music
Let it shine like the sun
Let there be music
Everybody's got to
Everybody's got to have some fun
Let there be music
Let it shine like the sun
Let there be music
Everybody's got to have some fun

Brightest
Brightest
Composer(s): Aaron Marsh
Performer(s): Copeland
If you find yourself here on my side of town
I pray that you’d come to my door
And talk to me like you don’t know what we ever fought about
Because I don’t remember anymore
I just know that she warms my heart
And knows what all my imperfections are
And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar
And I just know that she warms my heart
And knows what all my imperfections are
And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar

Let There Be More Light
Let There Be More Light
Composer(s): Roger Waters
First release by: Pink Floyd - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Far far far away way
people heard him say say
I will find a way way
there will come a day day
something will be done
Then at last the mighty ship
descending at a point of flame
made contact with the human race at no time
Now now now is the time time
time to be be be aware
Not as far the solar bear
in human role revealed to him
a living soul of heavenward forever
Sunlight, something in my eye
something in the sky
waiting there for me
The antelope grows hurling back
the servicemen would like to sigh
the memory wentflowing rounds
as Lucy in the sky
Oh oh did you ever know
no never ever will they ascend
Summoning in his cosmic powers
and flowing slightly from his toes
psychedelic nations fly

Brighter Day
Composer(s): Roger Steen
Performer(s): The Tubes
Come on baby, I'm in love with you
I can't get it off my mind
I've been thinking I've been dreamin'
'Bout this heart of mine
In a day we'll know, oh we'll know, yes we'll know
'Bout a heart that's strong
and a mind that is wrong
Take my hand and see
all the things you can be
doodn doo doo doo doodn doo doodn doo
doodn doo doo doo
Come on baby I'm in love with you
I can't get it off my mind
Mind's been foggy since I first spied that baby
I can't get it off my mind
First the sun will shine
see how bright the day
Then the rains will come
wash away, wash away
All the blues will go
oh we'll know, yes we'll know
doodn doo doo doo doodn doo doodn doo
doodn doo doo doo
Brighter day
Come on baby

Bright White
Bright White
Composer(s): Shawn Phillips
Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
Now I told you a long time ago
that I'd hold you
never let you go behind me
anywhere I might flow
And I know you believe in me
And I hope you are seeing my dream
A whole lot of people in this world
Just running around
And it's a long way in the face of fear
and there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore
and money is the name in the game of fame
but the music don't come out quite the same anymore
It's all about a bright white light
shining through your mind and guiding your way
Mama put your arms around me
fill me with your joy and rock me all night
I told you a long time ago
that I'd hold you
never let you go behind me
anywhere I might flow
And I'll hold you in winter and spring
and behold you in everything I sing
Being in your arms is just like coming home
And it's a long way in the face of fear
and there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore
and money is the name in the game of fame
but the music don't come out quite the same anymore
It's all about a bright white light
shining through your mind and guiding your way
Mama put your arms around me
fill me with your joy and rock me all night

Let The Worry Bird Worry For You
Let The Worry Bird Worry For You
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Jule Styne
Performer(s): Nellie Lutcher & Her Rhythm
Everyone has his share of care and woe
Even in Lovers Lane there’s rain and snow
We all have to pay the piper
So why be a gloomy griper
Forget regret, don’t let it get you low, no
Let the worry bird worry for you
Let the worry bird fuss and stew
He’s a wonderful pet
And when you get the jitters, he twitters
Let the worry bird worry his head
Have the time of your life instead
What’s a tumble or two
As long as you can keep well, sleep well
Every cloud is silver-lined, bear that in mind
When old man trouble gets tough
And the going gets rough
Let the worry bird worry for you
It’s remarkable what he’ll do
He’ll consider it fun to be your understudy
So buddy, why should you be blue?
Let the worry bird sing the blues for you

Chorus:
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
Baby, baby, you & I will be seein'...
Bright shiny colors so strange and new
Bright shiny colors I'll see with you
Bright shiny colors, that's what I'll say
Bright shiny colors run through my head
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
People's faces painted just like clowns
We'll ride elevators up and down
We'll go places no one ever goes
We'll go walking on our own rainbows, and we'll sing

Let The Wind Carry Me
Let The Wind Carry Me
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
Papa's faith is people
Mama she believes in cleaning
Papa's faith is in people
Mama she's always cleaning
Papa brought home the sugar
Mama taught me the deeper meaning
She don't like my kick pleat skirt
She don't like my eyelids painted green
She don't like me staying up late
In my high-heeled shoes
Living for that rock'n'roll dancing scene
Papa says leave the girl alone, mother
She's looking like a movie queen
Mama thinks she spoilt me
Papa knows somehow he set me free
Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten
She blames herself
But papa he blesses me
It's a rough road to travel
Mama let go now
It's always called for me
Sometimes I get that feeling
And I want to settle
And raise a child up with somebody
I get that strong longing
And I want to settle
And raise a child up with somebody
But it passes like the summer
I'm a wild seed again
Let the wind carry me

Let The Rest Of The World Go By
Let The Rest Of The World Go By
Composer(s): Ernest Ball - Karen Brennan
Performer(s): Dick Haymes
and multiple other artists
Is the struggle and strife we find in this life
Really worth while, after all
I've been wishing today I could just run away
Out where the west winds call
With someone like you, a pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own
We'll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Out there beneath a kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
And let the rest of the world go by
Is the future to hold just struggles for gold
While the real world waits outside
Away out on the breast of the wonderful west
Across the Great Divide
With someone like you, a pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own
We'll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Out there beneath a kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
And let the rest of the world go by

Bright Eyes I Love You So
Bright Eyes I Love You So
Composer(s): Frank A. Ryan
I'm wondering if dreams come true
Last night my love, I dreamed of you
I dreamed that I kissed you
caressed you and blessed you
you wonder why I love you so
The reason I will tell to you
the many charms about you
tell me ne'er to doubt you
surely you'll be true
A dream, they say is but a dream
When things are not just as they seem
You'll always be near me
forever you'll cheer me
my heart cries out each night and day
And longs for you when you're away
dearie trusting you'll remember
that love's burning ember means I love yo so
Your bright eyes are like the sunshine tow'ring from above
The birds, the trees, the perfumed flowers blend your songs of love
It seems the gates of Heav'n are opened with your smiling face
The world's a glow for now
you know that's just why I love you so

Let The People Sing
Let The People Sing
Composer(s): Noel Gay - Frank Eyton - Ian Grant
Performer(s): Geraldo & His Orch.; Evelyn Laye; Jack Payne
If I were king for a day
To my advisors I’d say
Within my kingdom it’s found
There’s too much sadness around
Let music come to our aid
Command that music be made
Let all the people parade
This shall be my decree
Let the people sing, sing like anything
Any sort of song they choose
Let the people sing, let the welkin ring
Anything to kill the blues
Write a merry song to cheer them
Tell them that I long to hear them
When things all go wrong, you will find a song
Welcome as a breath of spring
Therefore let the people sing>

Bright Eyes
Bright Eyes
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Originally performed by: Art Garfunkel
Covered by various other artists
Is it a kind of dream, floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream, oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon, a strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you go, and what does it mean
Oh, oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
Is it a kind of shadow, reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen, or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees, a cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows where you go, and where do you start
Oh, oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes

Composer(s): Joe Perry
First release by: The Joe Perry Project - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
Wanna take a chance and dance before
I got to leave alone
One short song and she'll be gone
I wish her off was on
Gotta try, gotta try another way to get her
To come around to me
Wanna take a chance and dance before
I got to leave alone
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
There's just one more thing
I've gotta say
But, I'll explain a different way
You've gotta know I got an axe to grind
I know you won't mind
In your eyes I see the sky no question
Our hearts belong entwined
One last thing, our love
Is positively meant to be
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Wanna take a chance and dance before
I got to leave alone
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
