Angus & Julia Stone - Crash and Burn (2014)



Won't you take me
Be my love next door
When you run out
I can bring some more
Won't you throw down
This heart of mine
And I'll roll out
My stretch of time
Oh my stretch of time

Billy opened
Up a can of worms
So I lit up
Smoke and let it burn
Will you come back
If I turn and run?
Will you come fine me
If I crash and burn?
Will you come fine me
If I crash and burn?
Will you come fine me
If I crash and burn?

Look so pretty
When you brush your hair
Won't you be so
Kind to take me there
Will you come back
If I turn and run?
Will you come fine me
If I crash and burn?
Will you come fine me
If I crash and burn?
Will you come fine me
If I crash and burn?

Won't you take me
Be my love next door
When you run out
I can bring some more
When you run out
When you run out.

The Ikettes - I'm Blue (1962)



(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)
Gong gong gong, yeah
(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)
Gong gong gong, yeah
(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)

I wanna tell all you people
I dropped a penny in the well
Hoping you would come back soon
I couldn't believe what I heard

A fortune teller told me
My love with you was doomed
I hope her reading was wrong
I hope she was wrong
'Cause you been gone too long, come home

Hey, gong gong gong, yeah

(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)
Gong gong gong, yeah
(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)
Gong gong gong, yeah
(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)

I can't sleep at night for thinking of you
Every night about two
My love for you comes tumblin' down
I can't stand being here alone

I start a feelin' and a fumblin'
But you ain't nowhere around
I hope her reading was wrong
I hope she was wrong
'Cause you been gone too long, come home

Hey, gong gong gong, yeah

(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)
Hey, gong gong gong, yeah
(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)
Gong gong gong, yeah
(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)

(I'm blue do be, do be, do be do)
Gong gong gong, yeah.

Glen Weston - What Is Youth (Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet) (1968)



What is a youth? Impetuous fire.
What is a maid? Ice and desire.
The world wags on.

A rose will bloom
It then will fade
So does a youth.
So do-o-o-oes the fairest maid.

Comes a time when one sweet smile
Has its season for a while...Then love's in love with me.
Some they think only to marry, Others will tease and tarry,
Mine is the very best parry. Cupid he rules us all.
Caper the cape, but sing me the song,
Death will come soon to hush us along.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall.
Love is a task and it never will pall.
Sweeter than honey...and bitter as gall
Cupid he rules us all.

Esther Williams & Ricardo Montalban - Baby, It's Cold Outside (1949)



I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside

I've got to get home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Thrill when you touch my hair
Why don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside.
