Barry Reynolds; Terry Stannard; Steve York
Originally performed by: Marianne Faithfull
Covered by various other artists
Could have come through anytime
Cold lonely, puritan
What are you fighting for?
It's not my security
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
Lose your father, your husband
Your mother, your children
What are you dying for?
It's not my reality
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
Could have come through anytime
Cold lonely, puritan
What are you fighting for?
It's not my security
It's just an old war
Not even a cold war
Don't say it in Russian
Don't say it in German
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
Say it in broken English
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you fighting ...

Let's say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way
There's something wrong, your love is gone
I've no reason now to stay
We live and love, we meet and part
The broken hearts must pay
Let's say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way
Your love Sweetheart, I wont forget
You're always on my mind
You're all the happiness I knew
So thoughtful, sweet and kind
For old times sakes I'm asking you
To think of me someday
Let's say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way
I wish you happiness, Sweetheart
In everything you do
May good luck always come your way
And ev'ry dream come true
I'll remember you and the love we knew
The love of yesterday
Let's say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way
If I should meet some other, Dear
And learn to love them too
I hope and pray somehow, Sweetheart
They'll make me think of yYou
A tender smile, an old love song
A heart so light and gay
Let's say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way
Let's say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way
There's something wrong, your love is gone
I've no reason now to stay
We live and love, we meet and part
The broken hearts must pay

In a friendly kind of way

Let's Go Get Stoned
Composer(s): Jo Armstead - Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
First recording by: Robert McCoy - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
When your baby won't let you in
Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin
Just call your buddy on the telephone
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
When you work so hard all the day long
And everything you do seems to go wrong
Just drop by my place on your way home
Let's go get stoned
It ain't no harm
You're taking just a taste
But don't blow your cool and start messing up the place
It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip
But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned

Broken Dreams, Hard Road
Broken Dreams, Hard Road
Composer(s): John Lodge
Performer(s): John Lodge
I looked everywhere
Thought that I would find you
Thro' the night
Shadows dancing in the moonlight
Broken dreams
Hard Road
Wish I could write of the love
I have known
In my lifetime
Wish I could find just one word
One small line
When I'm down
The world has gone and changed
Its face
The world has gone and changed
Its place
While we were dreaming
For the Human Race
I know I've
Been down this road many times
Many ways
In my lifetime
And
Somehow the path that you've
Walked
In your life
Has led to me
Your love has gone and changed
My world
Your love has changed the world I
See
While I was waiting
You came to me
I looked everywhere
Knew that I would find you
Thro' the night
Shadows dancing in the moonlight
Broken dreams
Hard road
Hard, hard road
Hard road
Hard, hard road
(Repeat)

Let's Roll
Let's Roll
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young
I know I said I love you
I know you know it's true
I got to put the phone down
And do what we gotta do
One's standing in the aisle way
Two more at the door
We got to get inside there
Before they kill some more
Time is runnin' out, let's roll
Time is runnin' out, let's roll
No time for indecision
We got to make a move
I hope that we're forgiven
For what we gotta do
How this all got started
I'll never understand
I hope someone can fly this thing
Get us back to land
Time is runnin' out, let's roll
Time is runnin' out, let's roll
No one has the answers
But one thing is true
You got to turn on evil
When it's comin' after you
You got to face it down
And when it tries to hide
You got to go in after it
And never be denied
Time is runnin' out, let's roll
Let's roll for freedom
Let's roll for love
Goin' after Satan
On the wings of a dove
Let's roll for justice
Let's roll for truth
Let's not let our children
Grow up fearful in their youth
Time is runnin' out, let's roll
Time is runnin' out, let's roll
Time is runnin' out, let's roll

Aaaah! Ich kenne Herzen, die sind aus Stein
Aaaah! Jedoch ich könnte nie herzlos sein
Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben
Es ist ein Wunder, wenn es geschieht
Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben
Und ist ein Wunder, wenn es geschieht
Aaaah! In Deinen Augen, da war ein Glanz
Aaaah! Das fühlt' ich schon beim ersten Tanz
Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben
Wer kann denn wissen, was morgen ist!?
Es ist so herrlich sich zu verlieben
Weil es ein Zaubertrank immer ist
Und der Himmel ging auf!
Und der Himmel ging auf für mich
Und der Himmel ging auf!
Und der Himmel ging auf für mich
Liebe, Liebe, Liebelei
Was kann schöner sein für uns zwei!?
Denn der Himmel ging auf!

Broken Dream
Broken Dream
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): Justin Hayward
One more illusion shattered
One more broken dream
Oh that the morning brings the sun
Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again
See how the tears roll down
Like sweet summer rain
Where does it leave me now
I find myself so free again
Even the smallest traces
Of your sweet perfume
Open the flood gates and I'm helpless
Now as the moonlight shadows
Cast across my room
Only the whispered words
Are heard in the night
Only a silent prayer
'I love you still
I always will'
Out of the dark I stumbled
Into the light
Only my fear has tumbled
I think I always knew
That I would run to you
Somewhere there's children playing
Somewhere far away
Running with open arms to greet me
Over the hill the sunset
Dies and fades away
I turn and I close the door
With one last goodbye
I will return no more
I'll take my heart and let it fly

Let's Put Out The Lights
Composer(s): Herman Hupfeld
Performer(s): Dean Martin
and multiple other artists
No more company to feed
No more papers left to read
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep
No more anything to drink
Leave those dishes in the sink
What's to do about it?
Simply nighty night and so to sleep
You're waiting now for me to say
"I love you more and more and more dear
You're looking younger ev'ry day
You never were so sweet before, dear"
No more money in the bank
No cute baby we can spank
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep
You're waiting now for me to say
"I love you more and more and more dear
You're looking younger ev'ry day
You never were so sweet before, dear"
No more money in the bank
No cute baby we can spank
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights
And go to sleep

Broken Down In Tiny Pieces
Broken Down In Tiny Pieces
Composer(s): John Adrian
Performer(s): Billy "Crash" Craddock
Broken down in tiny pieces
Love Ain’t really all that much
Just a song you used to whisper
Or a smile I tried to touch
Broken down in tiny pieces
Love ain’t hardly worth the time
Just a nickel that I borrowed
For a dream that cost a dime
Take me back to where I started
You can help me mend
Here I am in tiny pieces
Please put me back together again
Broken down in tiny pieces
Love’s a special kind of thing
A snowball in December
You remember in the spring
And you were all that I remember
Of the thing I tried to find
In between the broken pieces
You keep running through my mind
Can’t you see I’ll always love you
It won’t ever end
Here I am In tiny pieces
Please put me back together again
The first verse is spoken by a woman
starting after the first line of the fourth verse
and ending just before the last line of that verse

Let's Pretend There's A Moon
Let's Pretend There's A Moon
Composer(s): Russ Columbo - Grace Hamilton - Jack Stern
Performer(s): Russ Columbo
and multiple other artists
Here you are, here am I
No moon in view, no star on high
But it's a lovely night to spoon
Let's pretend that there's a moon!
Nights like this were made for love
Regardless of the moon above
The time and place are opportune
Let's pretend that there's a moon!
Poets like to tell about the spell of moonlight bliss
And they weave it into every rhyme
We don't need no moon above to tell us when to kiss
Why should we be wastin' time?
Here are we, here is love
Who cares if there don't moon above?
Let's make believe that this is the month of June
Oh baby, let's pretend that there's a moon!
Yes! Ah-ha! Hah!
Who is you growlin' at woman?
Oh you know, now now now baby, yes I know!
Scrap the dark, but you've gotta pretend there's a moon!
Yes yes yes!
Yes yes!

Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Tu peux tout dire dans un sourire
Tu peux tout faire dans un regard
Tu dois lui tendre des pièges tendres
Et sans attendre qu'il soit trop tard
Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Dis-toi qu'un homme n'est rien qu'un homme
Que c'est un faible pas dangereux
Mais qu'une femme c'est une femme
Et qu'une femme sait ce qu'elle veut
Frappe, frappe, son cœur
Frappe, frappe, l'amour est là
Frappe, frappe son cœur
Frappe, frappe et tu l'auras
L'amour ne vient qu'une fois
Aujourd'hui puisqu'il est à toi
Frappe, frappe son cœur
Frappe, frappe et tu y entreras
Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Hein hein hein hein - puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui
Frappe, frappe, son cœur
Frappe, frappe, l'amour est là
Frappe, frappe son cœur
Frappe, frappe et tu l'auras
L'amour ne vient qu'une fois
Aujourd'hui puisqu'il est à toi
Frappe, frappe son cœur
Frappe, frappe et tu y entreras

Broken Blossoms
Broken Blossoms
Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald; A. Robert King
Often a page of a book turned o'er
Brings back a vision of days of yore
Only a rose leaf that lingers yet
Touches a spot that we can't forget
Once in a while there's a fragrance rare
Bringing a lingering vision fair
Only a thought of a bygone love
You have been longing and thinking of
Broken blossoms, maybe a violet blue
Pansies purple, tenderest thoughts renew
Lillies of white or rose red
Bring back a mem'ry long since dead
Broken blossoms in fancy they bloom again

Composer(s): Cole Porter
First release by: Irving Aaronson & His Commanders - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists
We're all alone, no chaperone
Can get our number
The world's in slumber
Let's misbehave
There's something wild about you child
Thats so contageous
Let's be outrageous
Let's misbehave
When Adam won Eve's hand
He wouldn't stand for teasin'
He didn't care about those apples out of season
They say the Spring
Means just one thing to little lovebirds
We're not above birds
Let's misbehave
Let's misbehave
Let's misbehave
If you'd be just so sweet
And only meet your fate, dear
It would be the great event of 1928, dear
Let's misbehave
Let's misbehave

With a tuppence for paper and string
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground you're a bird in flight
With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear
Oh let's go fly a kite
When you send it flying up there
All at once you're lighter than air
You can dance with the breeze over houses and trees
With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh
Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear
Oh let's go fly a kite

Broken Arrow
Broken Arrow
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Originally performed by: Robbie Robertson
Covered by: Rod Stewart
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
Do you feel what I feel
Can we make it so that's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line this time
I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign this time
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around, around
Do you feel what I feel
Do you feel what I feel
Ah can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind
I want to come when you call
I'll get to you if I have to crawl
They can't hold me with these iron walls
We got mountains to climb, to climb
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around

Let's Mend What's Been Broken
Let's Mend What's Been Broken
Composer(s): Gene McFadden - Jerry Cohen - John Whitehead
Performer(s): Gloria Gaynor
We started out with a new love
And we thought we had more control
And as it turned to an old love
Bad times started to unfold
Now I don't want to let you go
And I don't want it to ever end
So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken
Let's put it back together again
Ooh, we've got to
Let's mend what's been broken
You and me, me and you
Let's mend what's been broken
Ooh, yeah
Now I'm not ready for new love
'Cause you make my life so complete
And if there's any problem
I know we won't suffer deeply
'Cause I don't want to let you go
I don't want it to ever end
So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken
Let's put it back together again
Uh - huh, we've got to
Let's mend what's been broken
Me and you, you and me
Let's mend what's been broken
Ooh, yeah
Don't throw it all away
Let's keep this love in every way
Mend my heart, my achin' heart
The thought of a brand new start tears me all apart
The love we've got, don't let it end
We can put it back together again
{And let's do it}
{Let's do it}
Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}
Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}
{Let's do it}
{Let's do it}
{Let's do it}

Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}

Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}
I know our love has got to be

First release by: Prince and The Revolution - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night
So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own
And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor
If u don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around u
At least u got friends
U see I called my old lady
4 a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Sex, sex) is all I heard
Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We're all gonna die
And when we do (When we do)
What's it all 4 (What's it all 4)
U better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy
Let's go crazy
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy
I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go
Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
Hang tough children
He's coming
He's coming
Coming
Take me away!

Broken
Composer(s): Burton Cummings; Kurt Winter
Performer(s): The Guess Who
Take the spell away and turn me back into a man
An' give me credit, ya know I'm doin' all I can
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
So bring your soul to me and leave it here for just a while
Show the end to me and see if I can fake a smile
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
I don't have to fear, nobody else is here
Don't have to see, I know what I wanna be
Don't have to make an explanation to you
It's true, the deeper the drillin' goes
Shows how much the best of the better knows
That's why the bird with the broken wing never flew
And I've been broken too
Just like you
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
So bring your soul to me
