Brother Heart
Brother Heart
Composer(s): Gary Kemp
Performer(s): Gary Kemp
When the colours of life seep out of your day
and the truth that was standing is now crumbling away
when the question is why does it spread like disease?
And your rivers run dry, but you’re sunk to your knees
When the sun brings the priest running over the fields
and you’re sick to your soul of the lies and the deals
When the moon brings the bleeding of a town in its fate
and there’s no room for dreaming in the shelter of faith
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart
When the lines of partition slash a scar through your breed
and the mouths of agreement are all muted by greed
When the lie of the land rolls into your night
look into your soul and look for the light
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart
Fly the wings of hope, take the branch to the dove
change the story line, find the truth up above
but when God seems to sleep and misses your life
and your prayers fall to earth like shells in the night
let your broken heart weep and bleed for what’s right
look into your soul and look for the light
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart

Let's Take The Long Way Home
Let's Take The Long Way Home
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
Let’s take the long way home
Let’s look for the long way home
And on the way, let’s pretend
That this wonderful night won’t end
Through Asia would be much too soon
We’ll circle once around the moon
Our dream boat will carry us across the foam
We’ll take the long way, make sure it’s the wrong way
Let’s take the long was home
Shall we fly through the night
Shall we dream as we go?
See the star on your right
See the farm down below?
The whole trip it appears
Only takes a million years
If you’re in the mood to roam
Then let’s take the long way home

Brother
Brother
Composer(s): Rosalie Van Leer; Thijs Van Leer
Performer(s): Focus
I've never been unhappy or alone
Each day daylight came back
I always watched the stars
Not thinking space big and dark
Rains always were my friend
The wind knew all my secrets
Brother do you know that the times are hard
Do you wanna see my eyes
Make a start
'Cause brother do you see that the times are hard
I need love
I do not fear the shadows of trees
But city shadows don't move
I saw a child of God. He was
Someday to grow into the world
Brother do you know that the times are hard
Do you wanna see my eyes
Make a start
'Cause brother do you see that the times are hard
I need love

Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk
Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Eddie Albert & Allyn McLerie
and multiple other artists
Some couples go for a buggy ride when they start caring a lot
Others will bicycle side by side out to some romantic spot
But when you haven't a sou, there's only one thing to do....
Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk
What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk
Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark
And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old fashioned walk
I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart
I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind
She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk
I used to dream of a millionaire, handsome and rich from the States
Taking me out for a breath of air, saying, "The carriage awaits"
But since you haven't a sou and I have nothing to do....
Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk
What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk
Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark
And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old fashioned walk
I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart
I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind
She was wrapped up and sold, coming home from an old fashioned walk

Let's Have A Georgia Honeymoon
Let's Have A Georgia Honeymoon
Composer(s): Carter Benson - Bobby Lee
When I hear those wedding chimes
It makes me think of happy times
Let me take you, glad they'll make you
Way down in Savannah town
Honey pack your trunk and things
Let's go price some diamond rings
Just received the word today
Listen what the home folk says
Dear, the roses are a bloom
I can smell their sweet perfume
Birds are singing, bells are ringing
Here's the message that they bring
Love me honey, love me long
Life with you is like a song
Let me rest up on your breast down in
Dixie Loving nest
Come down, why don't you
Come down
Why don't you
Come on down to old Savannah
Be there, oh honey see there old Aunt Mandy in her red bandanna
When the preacher joins you hand in hand
They're going to serenade you with a big brass band
Come down, why don't you come down
Let's have a Georgia Honeymoon

Brooklyn Roads
Brooklyn Roads
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Jane Olivor
If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin', "Neil, go find your brother
Daddy's home, and it's time for supper
Hurry on"
And I see two boys
Racin' up two flights of staircase
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Where's it gone
Oh, where's it gone
Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And I looked out of those
Brooklyn roads
I can still recall
The smells of cookin' in the hallways
Rubbers drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always
Afraid to show
Mama'd come to school
And as I'd sit there softly crying
Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying
He's got a good head if he'd apply it"
But you know yourself
It's always somewhere else
I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads
Thought of going back
But all I'd see are stranger's faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks through thoses places
I'm wonderin'
What's come of them
Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads

Let's Take A Walk Around The Block
Let's Take A Walk Around The Block
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Ira Gerswin - E.Y. Harburg
First performance/First recording by: Dixie Dunbar & Earl Oxford - 1934/Richard Himber & His Orch. - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists
I never traveled further North
Than old Van Courtland Park
And never further South than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City
But first let me remark
I saw it from the empire state solarium
But we've been putting nickels
In the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up
We can toddle off in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin de-luxe tour
Someday we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant
But at present
Let's take a walk around the block
You're just the companion
I want at Grand Canyon
for throwing old blades down the rock
The money we have`ll go for travel
Meantime, let's walk around the block
Gangway, we'll begin
When our, ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap
All over the map
To London in May time
To Venice in play time
To Paris in time for a frock
To Boston in bean time
Darling, meantime
Let's take a walk around the block
In Winter at Christmas
We'll visit the isthmus
And see how they lock up a lock
And then in Caracas, on a jackass
We'll take a ride around the block
We'll keep to our promise
To visit St. Thomas
And then at Jamaica we'll dock
The prospect is thrilling
Still I am willing
Just now to walk around the block
Onward, to Cathay
Then to Mandalay
Boom on to Bangkok
Perhaps Vladivostok
We'll send the folks cables
Accumulate labels
Buy souvenirs till we're in hock
But since we are flat in old Manhattan
Let's take a walk around the block

Tiens Bon
Tiens Bon
((Adapted from: Let's Hang On! (by The Four Seasons) - 1965))
Composer(s): Bob Crewe - Sandy Linzer - Denny Randell - Jacques Chaumelle
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1966
Pourquoi ces larmes dans tes yeux
Et que veut dire cet adieu?
Écoute-moi
Si tu veux que notre amour
Soit plus fort de jour en jour
Laisse-moi sécher tes larmes
Tiens bon, tiens bon, tiens bon
Et nous gagnerons
As-tu jamais pensé que sur la Terre
Des millions de gens resteront solitaires?
(Pense à eux)
Ils vivront sans amour
(Pense à eux)
Jusqu'à leur dernier jour
Lorsque la vie t'apporte quelques fleurs
Souviens-toi de ceux qui n'ont rien dans le cœur
(Pense à eux)
Ceux-là préfèrent l'argent
(Pense à eux)
Au moindre sentiment
Tiens bon, tiens bon, baby
Si tu veux que notre amour
Soit plus fort de jour en jour
Laisse-moi sécher tes larmes
Tiens bon, tiens bon, tiens bon
Et nous gagnerons
Il y a des gens qui s'aiment plus que nous
Mais que le destin sépare tout à coup
(Pense à eux)
Leur amour est si fort
(Pense à eux)
Qu'ils choisissent la mort
Qu'avons-nous fait de mieux dans notre vie
Pour qu'à tout jamais la chance les oublie?
(C'est pour eux)
Nous devons chaque jour
(Oui, pour eux)
Mériter cet amour
Tiens bon, tiens bon, baby
Si tu veux que notre amour
Soit plus fort de jour en jour
Laisse-moi sécher tes larmes
Tiens bon, tiens bon, tiens bon
Et nous gagnerons

Brooklyn (Owes The Charmer Under Me)
Brooklyn (Owes The Charmer Under Me)
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Sara Isaksson
A race of angels
Bound with one another
A dish of dollars
Laid out for all to see
A tower room at Eden Rock
His golf at noon for free
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me
His lady's aching
To bring a body down
She daily preaches
On where she wants to be
An evening with a movie queen
A face we all have seen
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me
A case of aces
Done up loose for dealing
A piece of island cooling in the sea
The whole of time we gain or lose
And power enough to choose
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

Let’s Stop The Clock
Composer(s): J. Fred Coots - Haven Gillespie
Performer(s): Eve Becke; Artie Shaw; Helen Forrest
Let’s stop the clock
And make believe this night of love
Will never end
This is our chance, don’t pass it by
Let’s stop the clock
And capture every thrill
This night of love may send
This is romance, don’t let it die, darling
My hungry heart keeps telling me
Love while you may
We love but once
And love only lives for a day
Let’s stop the clock
Before this moment fades into the dawn
For with the dawn, you will be gone
Let love live on, let’s stop the clock

First release by: The Four Seasons - 1965

There ain't no good in our goodbye-in'
True love takes a lot of tryin'
Oh, I'm cryin'
Let's hang on to what we got
Don't let go girl, we got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on
To what we got [doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo]
You say you're gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
(Breakin' up) I wish you never said it
(Breakin' up) No, no, we'll both regret it
That little chip 'o diamond on your hand
Ain't a fortune, baby, but you know it stands
(For your love) A love to try and bind us
(Such a love) We just can't leave behind us
Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no)
Baby (think it over and stay)
There isn't anything I wouldn't do
I'd go to any price to get in good with you
(Patch it up) Give me a second turn
(Patch it up) Don't cool off while I'm burnin'
You got me cryin', dyin' at your door
Don't shut me out, open your arms for
(Open up) Your arms I need to hold
(Open up) Your heart, oh girl, I told you
Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no)
Baby (think it over and stay)

Bronco Bill's Lament
Bronco Bill's Lament
Composer(s): Don McLean
Performer(s): Don McLean
I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be
But a cowboy's life was the only life for me
It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free
But strong men often fail
Where shrewd men can prevail
I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say
But oh god how I worked my youth away
Well you may not recognise my face, I used to be a star
A cowboy hero known both near and far
I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar
But the studio of course
owned my saddle and my horse
But that six-gun on the wall belongs to me
Oh god I can't live a memory
You know I'd like to put my finger on that trigger once again
And point that gun at all the prideful men
All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen
And put you where they choose
With the language that they use
And enslave you till you work your youth away
Oh god how I worked my youth away
Whoopee ty yioh
Whoopee ty yi ay
One man's work is another man's play
Oh god how I worked my youth away
You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime
This photograph was taken in my prime
I could beat those desperados but there's no sense fightin' time
But the singin' was a ball
'Cause I'm not musical at all
I moved my lips to someone else's voice
I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be
But a cowboy's life was the only life for me
It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free
But strong men often fail
Where shrewd men can prevail
I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say
But oh god how I worked my youth away

Let's Stay Young Forever
Let’s Stay Young Forever
Composer(s): Allan Roberts - Doris Fisher
Performer(s): Jeri Southern; Dave Barbour Trio
Let’s stay young forever
Let’s never grow old
Let every kiss we kiss be sweet and new
Eternally useful throughout the years
Let’s be children together
Turn the tinsel to gold
Let’s always be naïve and make-believe
Tomorrow is never
There’ll always be a song
For those in love to sing
But only for the heart of those who dream of spring
How can our love but be warm
You can turn a winter’s storm to May-time
Let’s stay young forever
No future or past
Just waiting for the day, some day, today
And dreaming that love will always last

Let's groove tonight
share the spice of life
baby slice it right

Born down around the old Panhandle
Texas is where he grew to fame
There ain't a horse that he can't handle

You'd call a cyclone weak and mild
You've never seen a twister, mister
`Til someone gets him riled

Show me a gal who's kissed him once
I'll show you a gal who's kissed him twice
Once any gal has kissed him twice
She's dreamin' of shoes and rice

Tearin' across the Texas plain

Let's, we oughta stay together

Broken Wings
Performer(s): The Stargazers
With Broken wings, no bird can fly
And broken promises mean love must fade and die
I trusted you, you can't be true
My heart no longer sings
It's wings are broken too
Life was wonderful
I flew as high as a bird in the sky
Dreaming of you
Dreams coming true
Then in your eyes
I saw lies in disguise
You broke me heart in two
With Broken wings, no bird can fly
And broken promises mean lLove must fade and die
With Broken wings, no bird can fly
My heart no longer sings
It's wings are broken too
