Blue Light Boogie Composer(s): Jessie Mae Robinson Originally performed by: Louis Jordan Covered by various other artists
They did the Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low They did the Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low
I went to a party, was nothin there but bobby socks Went to a party, man you oughta seen em to reel and rock They did the Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low They did the Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low
I started rockin, man I threw my left foot out I started swingin, somebody begin to shout You got to Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low You got to Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low
The girls boys, they made so much noise They even had a raid But when the police got there all they could find Was ice cream and lemonade
Oh what a party I'm so glad I didn't stay at home Oh what a party They didn't treat me like I was a chaperone They did the Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low They did the Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low
I started rockin, man I threw my left foot out I started swingin, somebody begin to shout You got to Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low You got to Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low
The Women had they're heads laid on their fellas' shoulders Who were boogie-woogeyin and squeezin em up in the room I couldn't see how they was dancin Cuz their feet, they didn't move
Oh what a party I'm so glad I didn't stay at home Oh what a party They didn't treat me like I was a chaperone They did the Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low They did the Boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low
Blue Light Composer(s): David Gilmour Performer(s): David Gilmour
She's a blue light, yes it cannot be denied She will give you back your pride She squeezes, she freezes, she does what she pleases But she says she thinks of others, all the time
You must rise to her defense when she's in danger Turn around and you're looking at a stranger She steals your savings from under your bed And leads you into places even angels fear to tread She's a blue light
She's not amused, when you're trying to upstage her So you choose to do nothing to enrage her 'Cause under her mantle you feel safe from the cold And you're safe from the danger of ever growing old She's a blue light
Blue Kentucky Girl Composer(s): Johnny Mullins Originally performed by: Loretta Lynn Covered by various other artists
You left me for the bright lights of the town A country boy set out to see the world Remember when those city lights shine down That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl
I swear I love you by the moon above you How bright is it shinin' in your world Some mornings when you wake up all alone Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl
Don't waste to bring great riches home to me I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls Just bring yourself you're all I'll ever need That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl I swear I love you by stars...

Blue Jay Way Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): The Beatles and various other artists
There's a fog upon L.A. And my friends have lost their way We'll be over soon they said Now they've lost themselves instead Please don't be long please don't you be very long Please don't be long or I may be asleep Well it only goes to show And I told them where to go Ask a policeman on the street There's so many there to meet Please don't be long please don't you be very long Please don't be long or I may be asleep Now it's past my bed I know And I'd really like to go Soon will be the break of day Sitting here in Blue Jay Way Please don't be long please don't you be very long Please don't be long or I may be asleep Please don't be long please don't you be very long Please don't be long Please don't be long please don't you be very long Please don't be long Please don't be long please don't you be very long Please don't be long Don't be long - don't be long - don't be long Don't be long - don't be long - don't be long
There Is A Time ((French & Italian Versions: Le Temps (Charles Aznavour); Il Tempo (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Gene Lees - Jeff Davis Performer(s): Liza Minnelli; Nana Mouskouri
Come to my arms and I will be so tender Let me reveal all that living can be Snug like a child in the shadow of my shoulder Then as I hold you, you may start lovin' me
There is a time for spring and for sighing A time for love A time to for crying A time for dreams and for sweet pretending And then it seems that suddenly its ending
This time, this time, this time there's no time to waste We know the time we have can not be replaced This time, this time, this time let's not hesitate We know our time is brief and it can not wait
There is a time for hope and beginning A time to lose a time to for winning A time to waste on lazy vacations And a time for haste and beautiful temptations
This time, this time this time there's no time to waste We know the time we have can not be replaced This time this time this time let's not hesitate We know our time is brief and it can not wait
There is a time for fame and for glory A time for pride, a time to be sorry A time to drift on wide summer riddles A time for snow and icicles and shivers
This time, this time, this time there's no time to waste We know the time we have can not be replaced This time, this time, this time let's not hesitate We know our time is brief and it can not wait
There is a time of Autumn and sadness A time for youth and love's happy madness A time for truth and being together To go for walks in sunny, brittle weather
This time, this time, this time there's no time to waste We fade away as fast as the morning breaks This time, this time, this time let's not hesitate So take my love, my life my eagerness this time
This time, this time this time there's no time to waste We fade away as fast as the morning breaks This time this time this time let's not hesitate So take my love, my life my eager kiss For time flows on And on, and on

Blue gardenia Now I'm alone with you And I am oh so blue She has tossed us aside And like you, gardenia Once I was near her heart After the teardrops start Where are teardrops to hide I lived for an hour What more can I tell Love bloomed like a flower Then the petals fell Blue gardenia Thrown to a passing breeze But rest in my book Of memories I lived for an hour What more can I tell Love bloomed like a flower Then the petals fell Blue gardenia Thrown to a passing breeze But rest in my book Of memories

Funeral Tango ((Adapted from: Tango Funèbre (by Jacques Brel) - 1964)) ((Finnish Version: Hautajaistango (by Markku Riikonen) - 1984)) Composer(s): Gérard Jouannest - Jacques Brel - Eric Blau - Mort Shuman Performer(s): Mort Shuman - 1968
Oh I can see them now Clutching a handkerchief And blowing me a kiss Discreetly asking how How came he died so young Or was he very old Is the body still warm Or is it already cold All doors are open wide They grope around inside At my desk my drawers my trunk There's nothing left to hide Some love letters are there And an old photograph They've laid my poor soul bare And now all they do is laugh
Oh I can see them all So formal and so stiff Like a seargant at arms At a policeman's ball And everybody's pushing To be the first in line Their hearts upon their sleeves Like a ten cent valentine The old women are there Too old to give a damn They've brought along the kids Who don't know who I am They're thinking about the price of my funeral bouquet What they're thinking isn't nice For now they'll have to pay
Oh I see all of you All of my phoney friends Who can't wait for it ends Who can't wait till it's through Oh I see all of you You've been laughing all these years Now all that you have left Are a few crocodile tears Ah you don't even know That you're entering your hell As you leave my cemetary You think you're doing well With that one who's at your side You're as proud as you can be Ah she's going to make you cry But not the way you cried for me
Oh I can see me now So cold and so alone As the flowers slowly die In my field of little bones Oh I can see me now I can see me at the end Of this voyage that I/m on Without a love without a friend Now all this that I see Is not what I deserve They really have a nerve To say these things to me No girls just bread and water And your money you must save For there'll be nothing left for us When you're dead and in your grave

Roxanne You don't have to put on that red light Walk the streets for money You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right Roxanne You don't have to wear that dress tonight Roxanne You don't have to sell your body to the night
Christian: His eyes upon your face His hand upon your hand His lips caress your skin It's More Than I Can Stand!
Christian: Why does my heart cry?
Tango Dancer: Roxanne!...
Christian: Feelings I can't fight! You're free to leave me but Just don't deceive me! ... And please believe me when I say I Love You!
(silence, someone says something in Spanish)
Y yo que te quiero tanto que voy hacer Me dejaste, me dejaste por un montõn de monedas El alma se me fue se me fue el corazõn Ya no tengo ganas de vivir porque no te puedo convencer que no te vendas corazõn
Christian: Roxanne! You don't have to put on that red light! You don't have to wear that dress tonight Roxanne! You don't have to put on that red light Roxanne! You don't have to wear that dress tonight! Roxanne! Roxanne! Roxanne! Roxanne!
Christian: Why does my heart cry? Feelings I can't fight! Roxanne! Roxanne! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!
Blue Eyes Blue Composer(s): Diane Warren Performer(s): Eric Clapton
I thought that you'd be loving me I thought you were the one who'd stay forever But now forever's come and gone And I'm still here alone
'cause you were only playing You were only playing with my heart I was never waiting I was never waiting for the tears to start
It was you who put the clouds around me It was you who made the tears fall down It was you who broke my heart in pieces It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue Oh, I never should have trusted you
I thought that I'd be all you need In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven And now my heaven's gone away And I'm out in the cold
'cause you had me believing You had me believing in a lie Guess I couldn't see it I guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye
Chorus
'cause you were only playing You were only playing with my heart I was never waiting I was never waiting for the tears to start
It was you who put the clouds around me It was you
Chorus
Oh, I never should have trusted you Oh, I never should have trusted you Oh, I never should have trusted you
