Burr Clover Farm Blues
Composer(s): McKinley Morganfield; Muddy Waters
Performer(s): Muddy Waters
Well now, that clover man way up in Dundee
Well now, that clover man way up in Dundee
Well now, you go down to Mr. Howard Stovall's place
he's got all the burr clover you need
Well now, the reason that I love that old burr clover farm so well
Well now, the reason that I love that old burr clover farm so well
Well now, we always have money and we never raise no hell
Well now, I'm leaving this morning, and I sure do hate to go
Well now, I'm leaving this morning, and I sure do hate to go
Well now, I've got to leave this burr clover farm, I ain't coming back no more
Now, good bye everybody and I may not coming back again
Now, good bye everybody and I may not coming back again
Well now, I've got to leave this burr clover farm, my baby don't want me around

Well, so long, so long, you gonna need my help, I say
Well now, I here do wanna sell you some burr clover, honey, just before I go away

Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It?
Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It?
Composer(s): Carson Robison
Performer(s): Carson Robison
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
The hands on the clock go round and roumd
I just wake up and it's time to lay down
Life gets tee-jus, don't it?
My shoe's untied, but shucks, I don't care
Cuz I reckon I ain't a-goin' nowhere
I'd brush my teeth and comb my hair
Just too much wasted effort
The water in the well gets lower and lower
Ain't had a bath in a month or more
I've heard it said and I'm sure it's true
That too much bathin'll weaken you
Danged ol' mule, he must be sick
I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick
He hunched his back, but he wouldn't kick
Something cock-eyed somewhere
Hound dog's howlin' so forlorn
Laziest dawg that ever was born
He's howlin' 'cause he's sittin' on a thorn
Just too tired to move over
Well, the cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay
And my well dried up last Saturday
My troubles keep pilin' up day by day
And now I'm gettin' dandruff
Roof's a-leakin' and the chimney leans
An' there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans
Now I've eat the last of the pork an' beans
Just can't depend on nuthin'
Mouse is gnawin' at the pantry door
He's been at it now for a month or more
When he gets through he'll sure be sore
'Cause there ain't a dang thing in there
Well, it's debts and taxes and pains and woes
Aches and miseries and that's how it goes
And now I'm getting a cold in my nose
Life gets tasteless, don't it?

Burning Up With Fever
Burning Up With Fever
Performer(s): Gene Simmons
One, two, one, two, three, four
I'm the gift and giver, not a woman mistreater
you know that is no one else
You can have me just one time baby, she said
Baby, I'll give you a chance, 'cos I'm
Chorus:
Burning up with fever, and you're the fever inside
I'm burning up with fever, it's something I can't hide
Sometimes you do me, sometimes you don't, I know, I want you all the time
Here's one thing you should know, I won't, iIwon't stand in line for your love
Chorus
Sometimes you do me, sometimes you don't
I know, I want you all the time, but I'm
Chorus
I'm... (chorus)

Life Can Be Beautiful
Life Can Be Beautiful
Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Vaugh Monroe & His Orch.
and multiple other artists
My life was never like a story
No happy ending was in view
But now a miracle has happened
The way I feel is all so new
Life can be beautiful, how do I know
Somebody beautiful just told me so
Life can be summertime when it's really fall
Love can come any time, any time at all
Nights can be heavenly, take nights like this
What makes them heavenly? Only your kiss
Through all these many years guess I always knew
That life could be beautiful with you

Life By The Drop
Composer(s): Doyle Bramhall - Barbara Logan
First release by: Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble -1991
Covered by multiple other artists
Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago it was ‘til the end
We played out in the pouring rain
On our way up the road we started over again
You’re livin’ our dream, wo you on top
My mind is achin’, Lord it won’t stop
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop
Up and down that road in our worn out shoes
Talkin’ bout good thangs, singin’ the blues
You went your way, I stayed behind
We both knew it was justa matter of time
You’re livin’ our dream, wo you on top
My mind is achin’, Lord it won’t stop
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop
No wasted time, we’re alive today
Churnin’ up the past, there’s no easier way
Times been between us, a means to an end
God it’s good to be here walkin’ together my friend
We’re livin’ our dreams
My mind’s stopped achin’
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop

Burning Memories
Burning Memories
Composer(s): Mel Tillis; Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Ray Price
Tonight I'm burning old love letters
Photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better
And when the smoke is gone, I won't want you
Burning mem'ries
Burning mem'ries
Memories of you that I can't lose
My heart to you no longer matters
And I can't live alone on memories
Into the fire those dreams you shattered
And when the smoke is gone, then I'll be free
Burning mem'ries
Burning mem'ries
Memories of you that I can't lose

Je Te Pardonne
((Adapted from: Baby, I Love You (by The Ronettes) - 1963))
Composer(s): Jeff Barry - Ellie Greenwich - Phil Spector - Georges Aber
Performer(s): Les Surfs - 1964
Oh oh...
J'ai cru depuis toujours
Que tu reviendrais un jour
Et j'avais raison d'espérer
Quand tu m'as dit: pardonne-moi
Je m'ennuyais loin de toi
Il était fou de se quitter
Alors tu dois lui pardonner

Burning Lights
Burning Lights
Performer(s): Joe Strummer
Some dreams are made for children
But most grow old with us
And when the air can hope to hold on
And to the ground from dust to rust
Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they're out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know
And I've been a long haul driver
Moving things but the cops don't know
Now I can see the writing
You are the last of the buffalo
Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they're out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know
Now I've been to California
And I've been to New South Wales
Sometimes I, I pull over
When I realise I've left no trace
Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they're out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know

Life Begins At The Hop
Life Begins At The Hop
Composer(s): Colin Moulding
Performer(s): XTC
I have learnt there's a magical spot at the hop
Come with me to the church on the corner, the hop
There's nuts and crisps and ccc cola on tap
A good time had by the boys and girls at the hop
Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say
Life begins at the hop, boys and girls
Prepare yourself for the boys in the band at the hop
The cheap guitars, too young for the bars at the hop
We'll jive around, make fools of ourselves then stop
Back next week with another ridiculous tie knot
Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say
Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

Burning Heart
Burning Heart
Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frankie Sullivan
Performer(s): Survivor
Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone
CHORUS
In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire
In the burning heart
In the warriors code
There's no surrender
Though his body says stop
His spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul
A quiet ember
Know it's you against you
It's the paradox
That drives us on
It's a battle of wills
In the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone
Chorus (3x)
In the burning heart

Life Begins At Forty
Life Begins At Forty
Composer(s): Jack Yellen - Ted Shapiro
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
I've often heard it said and sung
That life is sweetest when you're young
And kids, sixteen to twenty-one
Think they're having all the fun
I disagree, I say it isn't so
And I'm one gal who ought to know
I started young and I'm still going strong
But I've learned as I've gone along.......
That life begins at forty
That's when love and living start to become a gentle art
A woman who's been careful finds that's when she's in her prime
And a good man when he's forty knows just how to take his time
Conservative or sporty, it's not until you're forty
That you learn the how and why and the what and when
In the twenties and the thirties you want your love in large amounts
But after you reach forty, it's the quality that counts
Yes, life begins at forty
And I've just begun to live all over again
You see the sweetest things in life grow sweeter as the years roll on
Like the music from a violin that has been well played upon
And the sweetest smoke is from a mellow, broken and old pipe
And the sweetest tasting peach is one that's mature, round and ripe
In the twenties and the thirties you're just an amateur
But after you reach forty, that's when you become a connoisseur
Then it isn't grab and get it and a straight line for the door
You're not hasty, you're tasty, you enjoy things so much more
For instance, a novice gulps his brandy down, he doesn't understand
Observe a connoisseur, the way he holds it in his hand
How he strokes the glass, fondles it, warms it as he should
Smaks his lips, aahhh, slowly sips, hah, boy, it tastes good
Life begins at forty
Then it isn't hit and run and you find much more fun
You romance a girl of twenty and it costs you all your dough
But when a forty thanks you, she hates to see you go
And girls of twenty, all they want are big men
Big men with strong physiques
I don't say that it's bad
But you do get tired of those damn Greeks
Life begins at forty
And I'm just living all over again

Burning Down The House
Burning Down The House
Composer(s): David Byrne; Chris Frantz;
Jerry Harrison; Tina Weymouth
Performer(s): Talking Heads
and various other artists
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight, wait till the party's over
Hold tight, We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame
My house, S'out of the ordinary
That's might, Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

Life And Breath
Life And Breath
Composer(s): Sonny Geraci - Walter Nims
Performer(s): Climax
"If you believe in dreams enough
Then they'll believe in you"
That's what she used to tell me
So I know it must be true
So day after day I'm dreaming
You'll come back to me
'Cause you are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
I'll buy your favourite flowers
From the lady down the street
And hurry to the corner
Where we always used to meet
And night after night
I sit and watch the curtains falling
You are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
They say I should be forgetting you
But how can I forget the moon and the stars
Or the heavens of blue
'Cause they're all just a part of you
"If you believe in love enough
Love will never die"
That's what you used to tell me
So I know it's not a lie
So time after time
I come here and I wait for you
I guess I'll always wait for you
'Cause you are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
Oh, you are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
Yeah, you are life and breath to me
All of the rest of me depends on you
Yeah, you ...

Burning Down One Side
Burning Down One Side
Composer(s): Robbie Blunt; Robert Plant; Jezz Woodroffe
Performer(s): Robert Plant
Slipped through the window by the back door
Caught short in transit with my love
Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance
How could I fall without a shove
Tip-toed like thunder on my feelings
You rock me gently with your sighs
My knees are weak - my head is reeling
Consumed by the fire in your eyes
Stepped in and shattered my defences
Just playing hookey with my heart
Slipped through the window by the back door
And took the keys to my poor heart, yes my poor heart
Try as I might - try as I may
Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Cause I need your love - yes I need your love
I'm looking high - I'm looking low,
Can't find where did my baby go
Gotta find out why she ran away
I don't know where did my baby stay
Try as I might - try as I may
Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour
Shoot through the neon in the night
Hot foot through alleys - check the doorways
Try that old parking lot on Ninth
There's three-course kissing in the same place
But that don't help me out no more
I've been away so long and dreaming
Little girl ain't I seen you before

Lieve Heer, Heb Medelij
Lieve Heer, Heb Medelij
Composer(s): Rocco Granata
Performer(s): Willem Barth
Lalala...
Als twee mensen altijd wensen saam te zijn
Heel hun leven liefde geven, zonneschijn
Worden zij soms bang voor wat eens komen zou
Dan hoor je hun smeken overal
Lieve heer, heb medelij
Hou voor ons een plaatsje vrij
Wij willen zo dolgraag altijd samen zijn
Eenmaal klimmen wij omhoog
Samen langs de regenboog
Schrijft u nu vast op hoe onze namen zijn
Lieve heer, heb medelij
Eenmaal is het hier voorbij
Zet u niemand boven tussen haar en mij
De tijd die gaat maar voort
Eens wacht de hemelpoort
Maak ons dan blij en hou een plaatsje vrij
Lalala...
Veel van waarheid op deze aarde raak je kwijt
Je verdwijnt, er komt een einde, hoogste tijd
Moederziel alleen maak je je laatste reis
En dan zoek je naar een paradijs
Lieve heer, heb medelij
Hou voor ons een plaatsje vrij
Wij willen zo dolgraag altijd samen zijn
Eenmaal klimmen wij omhoog
Samen langs de regenboog
Schrijft u nu vast op hoe onze namen zijn
Lieve heer, heb medelij
Eenmaal is het hier voorbij
Zet u niemand boven tussen haar en mij
De tijd die gaat maar voort
Eens wacht de hemelpoort
Maak ons dan blij en hou een plaatsje vrij
Lalala ...

Burning Bridges
Burning Bridges
Composer(s): Mike Curb; Lalo Schifrin
Originally performed by: Mike Curb Congregation
Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Lies (Through The 80's)
Lies (Through The 80's)
Composer(s): David "Fathead" Newman
Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band
We're all gonna live out the Hollywood dream
Everything's gonna be just what it seems
Gonna find a better way to run our cars
All through the Eighties
'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars
All through the Eighties
The Video Screen will open up the door
All through the Eighties
Information - there'll be more and more
All through the Eighties
Will the man on the street finally know the score
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
The play's been written we'll all be in the cast
All through the Eighties
And our feet are gonna point away from the past
All through the Eighties
Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride
We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
Time will go and the years fly by
All through the Eighties
And we'll have another slice of American Pie
All through the Eighties
Credit card living, push button cash
All through the Eighties
We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash
All through the Eighties
And another generation will "Talk about their Generation"
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say ...
