Ding Dong Composer(s): Dana International First performance by: Dana International - 2011
Maybe the good days Arrived already and they're here Just one more moment And everything is going to change And we'll love Oh, we'll love
If you have a dream of your own don't be afraid go on with your heart close your eyes and hear the bells of your soul Ding dong say no more I hear silent prayer and its making me high and fly I know where to go and I'm coming now
And maybe it's almost happening, it's close Now comes the turn of the good moment The pain of the heart turns around and leaves
Ding dong say no more I hear silent prayer and its making me high and fly I know where to go and I'm coming now Praise the day that brings the night Praise the time that will shine on you It will bring you salvation
Ding dong say no more I hear silent prayer and its making me high and fly I know where to go and I'm coming now

Chorus Lord, I was born a ramblin' man Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can And when it's time for leavin' I hope you'll understand That I was born a ramblin' man

Chorus
I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin' Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee They're always having a good time down on the bayou Lord, them Delta women think the world of me
San Aggelos Sagapisas Composer(s): Andreas Anastasiou - Michalis Antoniou First performance by: Christos Mylordos - 2011
Tis monaxias mou tis stoes monahos perpatau O dromos einai makrinos ki opou me mas tha pau Me stavroses, me matoses ki as pethaina gia sena Ta dakry mou eree san aima, logia xahasmena
Pisteya pos oi aggeloi zoune sta oneira mas Psemata omos pisteya vriskontai anamesa mas Mia poly erimi kardia san efyges makria mou Gyrna xana se kartero, asteri kai hara mou

My hat don't hang on the same nail too long My ears can't stand to hear the same old song And I don't leave the highway long enough To bog down in the mud Cause I've got ramblin' fever in my blood
I caught this ramblin' fever long ago When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow If someone said I ever gave a damn They damn sure told you wrong I've had ramblin' fever all along
Ramblin' fever, the kind that can't be measured by degrees Ramblin' fever, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease
There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa And let some pretty lady rub my back And spend the early morning drinking coffee And talking about when I'll be coming back
Cause I don't let know no woman tie me down And I'll never get too old to get around I'm gonna die along the highway and rot away Like some old high-line pole, Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul
Popular Composer(s): Fredrik Kempe First performance by: Eric Saade - 2011
Stop, don't say that it's impossible 'Cause I know it's possible Though I know you never look my way I can say you will one day I can say you will one day
I will be popular, I will be popular I'm gonna get there, popular My body wants you, girl My body wants you, girl I'll get you when I'm popular
I put my hands up in the light You see me dancing for my life I will be popular, I will be popular I'm gonna get there, popular
Spread the news, I'm gonna take the fight For the spotlight, day and night I can take this to the number one Be someone before you're gone Be someone before you're gone
I will be popular, I will be popular I'm gonna get there, popular My body wants you girl My body wants you girl I'll get you when I'm popular
I put my hands up in the light You see me dancing for my life I will be popular, I will be popular I'm gonna get there, popular

Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited Composer(s): Roy Wood Performer(s): The Move
It was one morning when I woke up and then I found out that they'd signed some papers and then I was gonna be kept in a bed owing to my state of mind And then I found out that the authorities had said, um that I'd gotta have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um and I think it's because, because I was going off my...)
Head Sunbeam from flowered skies Twenty thousand butterflies Glorify my... Turn from hot to very cool Though it seems incredible I could ride a bike around the room
Cherry Blossom Clinic Is there any truth in what they say Cherry Blossom Clinic Lock me in and throw the key away
In this sad position where I lie From the corner of my eye Callous friends just pass me by Doctor pays a visit Everyday I keep asking for my Dad They must think I'm going mad Lift the blankets off my face Quick before I suffocate Trying hard to meditate Tell the people, "What a scene" Write a letter to the Queen Asking her if she can come to tea
Cherry Blossom Clinic Is there any truth in what they say Cherry Blossom Clinic Lock me in and throw the key away
Up above the sun is high Like a tea tray in the sky Helicopter lands upon my bed Phantom horses quickly fade Turning into lemonade Probably feel better when I'm dead
Cherry Blossom Clinic Is there any truth in what they say Cherry Blossom Clinic Lock me in and throw the key away
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!

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

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

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
Now nothing can touch me Ive seen what I can be Lonely Ive walked through the fire Im Still Alive
Would ya climb up the mountain Would ya battle the ocean Would ya give just to loose it all Ive been living my life and Try to learn ever lesson Now I see why I fight and I fall
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
If ya lost all the meanin No more truth to believe in Would the light inside fade to grey But if ya shine like a diamond Dont get caught in the moment Never letting your breath slip away
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
