Franz von Suppé - Leichte Kavallerie (Light Cavalry), overture to the operetta (2013) (Franz Welser-Möst)

Maxine Brown - Oh No Not My Baby (1964)

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I told them all I had-a faith in you
I-I-I just kept on sayin'

Oh no, not my baby
Oh no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to a-what she said
I-I-I kept right on sayin'

Oh no, not my baby
Oh no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys

Well, you might have had a last-minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you gave-a me your ring
And now I'm glad that I kept on sayin'

Oh no, not my baby
Oh no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

Oh no, not my baby
Oh no, not my sweet baby
Oh no, not my baby, no, no
No, no, not my sweet baby
Oh no.

R.E.M. - First We Take Manhattan (1991)

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
Guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line they're moving through the station
I told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those

You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business, mister
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to your sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line they're moving through the station
I told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those

Did I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Now remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

Commodores - Nightshift (1985)

Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song
His heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds
And I still can hear him say
Aw talk to me so you can see
What's going on
Say you will sing your songs
Forevermore (evermore)

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud
Oh I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night
It's gonna be all right
On the nightshift
Oh you found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

Jackie (Jackie), hey what'you doing now
It seems like yesterday
When we were working out
Jackie (Jackie, oh) you set
The world on fire
You came and gifted us
Your love it lifted us
Higher and higher
Keep it up and
We'll be there
At your side
Oh say you will sing
Your songs forevermore (evermore)

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud
Oh I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night
It's gonna be all right
On the nightshift
Oh you found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

Gonna miss your sweet voice
That soulful voice
On the nightshift
We all remember you
Ooh the songs are coming through
At the end of a long day
It's gonna be okay
On the nightshift
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift.

Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) (1977)

Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door,
She said,
"Sonny, move out to the country."
Workin' too hard can give you
A heart attackackackackackack
You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?

And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down
On Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Yeah and he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillacacacacacacacac
You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders

And It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

You should never argue with a crazy mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?

And if that's what you have in mind
yeah if that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

I'm movin' out...

16 Horsepower - Black Soul Choir (1996)

No man ever seen the face of his foe no
He ain't made of flesh and bone
He's the one who sits up close beside you girl, and When he's there you are alone

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
The black soul choir

Oh, he rises in my way
Oh, he rises in my way

No man ever seen the face of my Lord no
Not since he left his skin
He's the one you keep cold on the outside girl, he's At your door let him in

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
The black soul choir

Oh, he rises in my way
Oh, he rises in my way

I will forgive your wrongs, I am Abel
For my own I feel great shame
I will offer up a brick to the back of your head boy
If I was Cain

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
The black soul choir

Oh, he rises in my way
Oh, he rises in my way.

Franz Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 In C Sharp Minor, S.244 (1851) (Michele Campanella)

Beggars Opera - Raymonds Road (1970)

Guadalcanal Diary - Trail Of Tears (1985)

The Sun hangs low in the Western sky
I bow my head and remember now
Someone's lips pressed close to mine
Her cool hand upon my brow

Hell burns hot for a killer 's heart
A shallow grave in an unmarked plot
Crack of gunfire in the dark
Hand in hand we'll walk at daybreak

One wore black (x3)

The trail of tears is winding on
Many pass along the road
Dusty soldiers march along
As they file one by one

One wore black (x3)

Trail of tears is winding on
Frightened soldier run no more
Arm and arm with lovers gone
No one passes on the road

Two girls wait at the railroad track
For their soldiers to come back
Knowing this will be their last
One wore blue and one wore black

One wore black...

Valerie June - The Hour (2013)

I was on my way back home
My heart was like a stone
With the stars up in the sky
As they watched us say goodbye
It won't hide or disguise
My love, you cry
As we say goodbye
The time, was slow
I didn't want to see you go
Oh no, oh no

The hour tell you no lies
The hour tell you no lies
Tell you no lies for the sky
The hour tell you no lies

There were times he raised his hand
And I could not understand
But you know my memory
We never could agree
It won't hide or disguise
Time, sweet time
Keeping me and mine
You, stay true
Spite of all of you
Oh woe, oh woe

The hour tell you no lies
The hour tell you no lies
Tell you no lies for the sky
The hour tell you no lies.
