After The Fall - Elvis Costello

Am              E                                        Am
In an anonymous rendez-vous where the forbidden lovers repair
        C                         G
They're burning down another damn candle
        E                      Fmaj7
they're melting the tables and chairs
  Am                           E
Beneath them applause from the balcony
                                  Am
whenever they accomplished making love
C                                   G 
Other times they thought they heard laughter
E                       Fmaj7 (here there obviously is more....)
coming from the balcony above


    G                         D
She lies to his right and she carelessly resites
Em                       D
All of her brand new appetites
          G                          D
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
Em                         E
Since she came back to him After the fall

She said You never visited the countryside
So I've made you a country to order
She put up a little tent in the bedroom
Crickets played on a tape recorder
The ceiling was festooned with phosphorous stars
She noticed his skin turning cold
Burning all his clothes on the bonfire
Relax she whispered and tightened the blindfold

She lies to his right.....

You've changed but not for the better, babe 
I'd tell you why but what's the use
'Cause it's the same kind of pity
a drunkard gives as his excuse
You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin
Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
Thrown through the window in the riot

She lies in his arms and without any qualms
Revels in shallow delights
She seems brittle and small it don't look like her at all
Since she came back to him After the fall

I'll Never Fall In Love Again (Elvis Costello)
I watched Austin Powers 2 the other day and I saw Burt Bacharach (on piano) and Elvis Costello (on guitar) playing this, and I decided I'd have a go. Enjoy. =) Peace & Love. LYRICS: What do you get when you fall in love? A guy with a pin to burst your bubble That's what you get for all your trouble I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get enough germs to catch pneumonia After you do he'll never phone you I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again Don't tell me what it's all about 'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out Out of those chains those chains that bind you That is why I'm here to remind you What do you get when you fall in love? You get enough tears to fill an ocean That's what you get for your devotion I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again Don't tell me what it's all about 'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out Out of those chains those chains that bind you That is why I'm here to remind you What do you get when you fall in love? You only get lies and pain and sorrow So for at least until tomorrow I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love

Not What I Expected
Dave Nachmanoff performs "Not What I Expected" with Liz Bligan and Mike Lindauer. Dave grew up listening to a lot of folk and bluegrass in the DC area, including Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie and Weavers, the Seldom Scene, John Denver, Kingston Trio and more, then through one of his babysitters, heard Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles, got into Bob Dylan and some of the British folk rock, like Steelye Span and Fairport Convention, but after discovering the Beatles music, went more into rock, including many of the West Coast folk-rock acts like the Eagles, America and Jackson Browne. In the late 70's he got into Al Stewart and never really recovered from that. Other influences in the 80's included some of the 'pub rockers' like Nick Lowe and Graham Parker, and the New Wave bands like the Cars, Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson. Also Bruce Springsteen, who was in inspiration as much for his style of performance as the for the songs. Later in the 80's Dave got into mainstream country for awhile, particularly Mary Chapin Carpenter, and then alt country like Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams and Rodney Crowell. The singer-songwriter boom of the 90's was the time that Dave really started to develop as a songwriter, and of course he was influenced by both the well known artists like David Wilcox, Shawn Colvin and Richard Shindell, and some of his friends and peers who were less well-known, but great writers. More recently Dave has become obsessed with the clever power pop of Fountains of Wayne and some of the other melodic alternative rock bands. For more info on Dave see www.davenach.com. Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Dave Nachmanoff saw Al Stewart live for the first time at Royal Albert Hall in London in 1985 and in 2006 came back and performed with him. At the age of ten he played with Libba Cotton ("Freight Train"). He's led songwriting workshops for German school children, synagogue groups, a Native American tribe, stroke survivors, and for the Silcocks, a family with 44 adopted boys. In addition, he's a heckofa songwriter in styles ranging from folk to pop who's sold over 15,000 recordings. He's a father of two and writes custom songs for weddings and other special occasions. As a side player (guitar, piano, bass, accordion and more) he's worked with Stewart on a regular basis, as well as many others at venues as far ranging as The Bottom Line and the Edmonton Folk Festival. Oh, and he's got a doctorate in Philosophy. That he earned in his spare time. Dave grew up in the 60'and 70's surrounded by the active folk scene of northern Virginia and Washington DC and inspired by Pete Seeger, country rock, early revival folk like the Kingston Trio and later on, 80's new wave. Toss in a bit of celtic folk-rock a la Fairport Convention and it's clear how he got his rich melodic sound. His latest effort, "Time Before the Fall" offers a diverse palate of genres, from the traditional English ballad style "Midnight Sea" to the folk-pop of "Lucky." There are just enough hooky guitar licks on these songs to make you smile but not so much that they distract from the wonderful stories and out of the ordinary characters. There's the guy who brightens a city corner with flowers in the upbeat "George's Corner" and a man who remorsefully reports his brother's activities to the authorities in "Judas Kiss." He's got eight albums in all, including his first, Candy Shower, released in 1997. Plans are in the works for a new release in the next year. With a personable style that's adaptable to a variety of stages, he looks larger than life although he's a vertically challenged five foot two (and no, he doesn't have blue eyes). Just Plain Folks honored him with the 2001 Songwriter of the Year award. For five consecutive years he was the Susan Lucci of the South Florida Folk Festival, earning a place as a finalist before winning Best Overall in 2002. SingOut! has praised his "... heartfelt, inspired songwriting ... with a delivery both biting and assured." Al Stewart (born Alastair Ian Stewart on 5 September 1945), is a British singer-songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single "Year of the Cat" and its 1978 follow-up "Time Passages" (both of which were produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart grew up in the coastal resort town of Bournemouth, Dorset, England. He moved to the United States in 1977 and recorded/produced most of his work in Los Angeles during the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s.
