So Lucky Composer(s): Mihai Ginci - Marc Elsner - Andy Schuman First performance by: Zdob si Zdub - 2011
Flashes Ray ban glasses I move with ease In my convertible breeze Martini whiskey on the rocks life on the top my party never stops! Winner A dusk to dawn sinner Love traded in for lust Its emotions I dont trust On top The cream of the crop You know I love to rock The fun will never stop You see Its all about me The servants and the king Im the ruler of the world A tug She pulls me like a drug I want her on the rug But shes not that kind of girl
I see you where the lights glow You pull me in your private side show And now I see your moves in slowmo I try to kiss you, but you slip away Yet you never walk away from me Are you a shadow of what might be? Why should one woman stand above the rest? There is a mystery to you deep beneath the flesh!
Those eyes pulling me in A body made to sin But I can not win Wait Im ready at the gate Dont tell me its too late Her fire starts to melt my heart Shes clean Not part of any scene Shes more like a dream I don't want to wake up from! I see Shes somehow changing me Shes where I want to be Cant stand a moment without her Anymore!
I see you where the lights glow You pull me in your private side show And now I see your moves in slowmo I try to kiss you, but you slip away Yet you never walk away from me Are you a shadow of what might be? Why should one woman stand above the rest? There is a mystery to you deep beneath the flesh!
Ramble On Rose Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter Performer(s): The Grateful Dead; Emory Joseph
Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand Just like Billy Sunday, in a shotgun ragtime band Just like New York City, just like Jerico Pace the halls and climb the walls
and get out when they blow
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose
Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the jailor One hear up, and one cool down, leave nothin' for the tailor Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer One go up, and one go down, do yourself a favor
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose
I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime I know this song it ain't never gonna end I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line Take you to the leader of a band
Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack Sittin plush with a royal flush, aces back to back Just like Mary Shelly, just like Frankenstein Clank your chains and count your change and try to walk the line
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose
I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime I know this song it ain't never gonna end I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line Take you to the leader of a band
Goodbye Mama and Papa Goodbye Jack and Jill The grass ain't greener The wine ain't sweeter Either side of the hill
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose

When you look into my eyes World becomes a better place And you know deep inside Love is taking all the space Baby, I love you... and you?

When you look into my eyes Sun is touching mountain top When you look into my eyes It will never have to stop Baby, I love you... and you?
Cherished Memories
((French Version: Jolie Mélodie (Eddy Mitchell) - 1963))
Composer(s): Sharon Sheeley
First release by: Eddie Cochran - 1962
You're goin' away, away from me But here in my heart is a memory The way we met, the way we kissed The way we fell in love Oh, the little secrets that we shared When I was sad, the way you cared To let me know you'd understand The way you'd hold my hand Cherished memories, the things that a fellow can't forget Cherished memories, you're leaving but I love you yet And now you say that we must part And even though it breaks my heart There's one thing you can't take from me That's my cherished memories
Ramble On Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant Performer(s): Led Zeppelin
The leaves are falling all around Time I was on my way Thanks to you, I'm much obliged For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me t' go The autumn moon lights my way But now I smell the rain And with it pain And it's headed my way Ah, sometimes I grow so tired But I know I've got one thing I've got to do
Ramble on Now's the time, the time is now Sing my song I'm going 'round the world I got to find my girl On my way I've been this way ten years to the day Ramble on I got to find the queen of all my dreams
Got no time to spending grief The time has come to be gone And to' our health we drank a thousand times It's time to ramble on
A-ramble on Now's the time, the time is now Sing my song I'm going 'round the world I got to find my girl On my way I've been this way ten years to the day I got to ramble on I got to find the queen of all my dreams
I ain't taking no ride
Mine's a tale that can't be told My freedom I hold dear How years ago in days of old When magic filled the air 'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair But Gollum, and the evil one crept up And slipped away with her, her Her, her, her a-yeah An' ain't nothing I can do, now I guess I'll keep on
Rambling, I'm gonna shake Sing my song, I'm gonna find my baby I'm gonna ramble on Sing my song, work my way, going 'round the world

Now nothing can touch me Ive seen what I can be Lonely Ive walked through the fire But Im Still Alive

When the roads not to wide Then trust the heart never lies
Now nothing can touch me Ive seen what I can be Lonely Ive walked through the fire But Im Still Alive Im Still Alive

Cherish
((French Version: Cherche Un Mot D'amour (Dave) - 1980))
Composer(s): Terry Kirkman
First release by: The Association - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Cherish is the word I use to describe All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could Mold you into someone who could Cherish me as much as I cherish you
Perish is the word that more than applies To the hope in my heart each time I realize That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes That I am not gonna be the one to share what Seems to be the life that you could Cherish as much as I do yours
Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found The words that could make you want me That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound That could make you hear, make you see That you are drivin' me out of my mind
Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize That I want you just like a thousand other guys Who'd say they loved you With all the rest of their lies When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands And gaze into your eyes
Cherish is the word I use to describe All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could Mold you into someone who could Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Le temps d'aimer il n'est pas encore arrivé Mais je sais bien qu'un jour il nous sera donné C'est toujours pour demain mais quelquefois pourtant J'ai cru l'avoir trouvé mais j'oubliais le temps
Ram dam, dam, dam c'est le bruit de la ville Ram dam, dam, dam la vie bat le tambour Ram dam, dam, dam c'est les heures qui défilent Ram dam, dam, dam et le temps court toujours
Et les gens qui sont là Sont comme des soldats Deux par deux en rang pour tourner en rond et le temps s'en va La vie bat le tambour On l'entend nuit et jour On voudrait pourtant arrêter le temps mais il court toujours Et la vie marche au pas sans savoir où elle va Et le temps la suit, la poursuit déjà la vie n'est plus là Trafique bat le tambour On l'entend nuit et jour Mais l'amour oublie que le temps le suit Ram dam ram dam dam dam
Never Alone Composer(s): 3J's First performance: 3J's - 2011
Awake your heart You fear it but well make a start Seems like the wind just blows your way with clouds full of rain And you hide... because the world ain't right Know that your cold and hurting soul is never alone
Don't waste your time Just lift your mind Imagination comes alive Now you know that I'll be by your side
Feel the risin' hope and the sky will open Take my hand don't stall have faith Though the road is long, There are golden gardens at the sweet end of your trail
Lay down now, I'll ease your heart, erase your frown To light up the darkness in your dreams I will be here And well find the freedom you left behind Capture the sun, the source, it shone You were never alone
Don't waste your time Just lift your mind Imagination comes alive Now you know that I'll be by your side
Feel the risin' hope and the sky will open Take my hand don't stall have faith Though the road is long, There are golden gardens at the sweet end of your trail

T'en a de la veine d'avoir de la peine, Henri Moi mon cur est sec comme un coup de bec, chéri
Pas de larme à l'il, ni fête, ni deuil, ni joie Un mauvais moral, c'est lorsque j'ai mal au foie Je me bats les flancs pour faire semblant de vivre Et le sentiment, ça me fiche autant qu'un livre Oui, je roucoule si tu prends ta poule, mon coq C'est en me for'ant, car mon plaisir sent le top
T'en a de la veine d'avoir de la peine, Henri Moi mon cur est sec comme un coup de bec, chéri
Quand je serai morte, il faut qu'on le sorte un peu, mon cur On verra ce bel opéra tout creux Ce cur fatigué, tu crois que c'est gai, tu crois De n'avoir dedans du froid, du vent, du froid
T'en a de la veine d'avoir de la peine, Henri Moi mon cur est sec comme un coup de bec, chéri

We had a little money once They were pushing through a four Iane highway Government gave us three thousand dollars You should have seen it fly away First he bought a '57 Biscayne He put it in the ditch He drunk up all the rest That son of a bitch His blood's bad whiskey I was raised on robbery
You know you ain't bad looking I like the way you hold your drinks Come home with me honey I ain't asking for no full length mink Hey, where you going... Don't go yet... Your glass ain't empty and we just met You're mean when your loaded I was raised on robbery"
