The State I'm In
Composer(s): Glenn Hughes
Performer(s): Glenn Hughes



I know that something is wrong
And I know it’s for real
I don’t know what I’ve become
And what do I feel?
Is it for real?

Stranger than fiction, I’m lying in fear in my room
This is the chosen, I’m leaving the pain
The black cloud is fallin’ again
The black cloud is fallin’

And he takes me higher, 2 the state I’m in

I’m looking down on the Earth as we sail ‘cross the sky
I’m not alone anymore
And I don’t wonder why, wonder why
Locked in this dream
I’m dying 2 open my eyes

Lost in the sadness
Now I’m overcome
The black cloud is fallin’ again
The black cloud is fallin’

This is the chosen, I’m leaving
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Come And Get It
Composer(s): Paul McCartney
Performer(s): Badfinger



If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
Make your mind up fast
If you want it any time
I can give it
But you better hurry 'cos it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
But you better hurry 'cos it's going fast
Sonny if you want it, here it is
Come and get it
But you better hurry 'cos it's going fast - Do

Right Now
Composer(s): Herbie Mann; Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Mel Tormé



Right now, let me take you by the hand
Right now, put your lips at my command
Right now, fly me onto lovers’ land
Baby, don’t you leave me at the post
Kiss me, let me feel it coast to coast
Right now, baby, need your love the most

You have set my soul on fire
Only you can satisfy this great desire

Right now, let the whole world break in two
Right now, stars will tumble from the blue
Right now, just as long as I’m with you

Right now, it’s the time and it’s the place
Right now, for a ride through outer space
Right now, let me have that wild embrace

You have set my soul on fire
Only you can satisfy this great desire

One time, let the wine of love flow free
One time, be the lover you can be
Right now, come and give yourself to me

The Stars Will Remember
Composer(s): Don Pelosi - Leo Towers
Performer(s): Vaughn Monroe
and multiple other artists



The stars will remember
The night we said goodbye
The stars will remember
So will I

A rose as a token
A kiss that brought a sigh
The stars will remember
So will I

And now the stars and I
We share the lonely lane
But in my solitude
It seems I hear you call my name

The world may forget you
As time goes passing by
The stars will remember
So will I

The world may forget you
As time goes passing by
The stars will remember
So - will - I

Come All Ye

Performer(s): Fairport Convention



Come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

Those that dance will start to dance
And those who don't will sway
In time to this our merry tune
That we play for you today

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

Our fiddler, he just loves to play
And that's why he plays so good
And now he plays a violin
Made out of solid wood

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

Possessor of the magic touch
But no magician, he
Will play for you some magic notes
Instead as you will see

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

The sound of beating on the drums
From behind you hear
And to the rhythm of guitar
We hope you'll lend an ear

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

Well, the man who plays the bass does make
Those low notes that you hear
And the high notes come from you and me
For we will sing so clear

So come all ye rolling minstrels
And together we will try
To rouse the spirit of the air
And move the rolling sky

and various other artists



You know I need your love
You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I've been through 
Have left a mark on me
You've been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It's been you woman right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of tellin' you everything
I could never say before 
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you 
That every day I'm lovin' you so much more
'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put somethin' better inside of me
You brought me into the light 
Threw away all those crazy dreams 
I put them all behind 
And it was you woman
Right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way of tellin' you everything
I could never say before 
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you 
Everything I could never say before 
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you 
That every day I'm lovin' you so much more

If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground
I won't turn to someone else
They'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

The Stars Didn't Show
Composer(s): Eric Stewart - Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): 10 cc



We came from miles around 
Just to listen to your sound 
You made the night seem endless 
You cast a magic spell 
You played the part so well 
Your music blew away the darkness 
We loved you for better 
We loved you for worse 
But we never took you for granted 
Your lives were a blessing 
But they carried a curse 
The night that the stars didn't show 
You made me stand so proud 
I was lifted from the crowd 
The fire inside me burning 
The figure dressed in black 
Sending shivers down my back 
Deep inside my soul was stirring 
We loved you for better 
We loved you for worse 
The sweet inspiration that you gave us 
And I can remember we didn't rehearse 
The night that the stars didn't show 
Mountains may crumble 
And worlds fall apart 
Lovers and friends may desert me 
The road may be long 
But I know in my heart 
Your spirit will always be with me 
The thrill to be up there 
A sea of faces everywhere 
I look I find you 
We loved you for better 
We loved you for worse 
But we never took you for granted 
Your lives were a blessing 
But they carried a curse 
The night that the stars didn't show 
We loved you for better 
We loved you for worse 
The sweet inspiration that you gave us 
And I can remember we didn't rehearse 
The night that the stars didn't show

Mistakes are made because words are misunderstood
It's all, all in how you talk
Waking over somebody, sounds like a strange thing to do 
but it's all, all in how you are (walk)
Seems like it might be the right thing to say at the time

and I (how d'you) know I probably say it again 
gimme just a little taste, gimme just a little taste more
and I'll be flying out, fliyng out the wise and old, old is the whole world
and I'd just turn around like a baby and I'd crawl, crawl right back inside...

Ooh, and...
It's alright an it's coming on
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where we started from

Do you remember the day - (that sunny day) - when you first came my way
I said no-one can take your place
And if you get hurt - (if you get hurt) - by the little things I say
I can put that smile back on your face
Ooh, and 

It's alright and it's coming on, ....

A love like ours - (a love like ours) - can never fade away
You know it's only just begun
You give me your love - (give me your love) - I just can't stay away, no
I know you are the only one
Ooh, and 

It's alright and it's coming on, ....

You give me your love - (give me your love) 
You know I just can't stay away, no
I know you are my only one
Ooh, you know 

It's alright and it's coming on, ....
It's alright and it's coming on, ....
It's alright and it's coming on, ....

The Star Still Shines
Performer(s): Sonny James



If dark clouds cover your Christmas sky
If the world around you should seem unkind
Don't for a single moment let your strong faith die
Always believe the Star still shines

And if you would weaken and turn aside
From the path that seems much too high to climb
Recall a tiny baby with more love than pride
Always believe the Star still shines

The Star still shines, which will lead us home
The angels sing, you're never, never alone

And when children hunger out in the cold
With their tiny hands seeking love to find
And when fools only worship altars of gold
Always believe the Star still shines
Always believe the Star still shines

Come Again
Composer(s): David Gates
Originally performed by: Bread



Hear - the knock at the door and you know who is there
you tell yourself you don't care
Try - you try to pretend you'll just send him away
you know it won't end that way
Your heart doesn't stand a chance, your eyes let him know
And your pride doesn't means a thing - you lost it for him years ago

Hear - the voice at the door and it makes you afraid
afraid but you don't know how
Try - you try to remind him the promise he made
he doesn't remember now
The tears welling up inside, are drowning your dreams
And your chance for another chance, keep leaving with him so it seems

Time - the friend that would bring him around
Is turning on you and it's bringing you down

Love - you tell him you love him and want him to change
he says that he'll really try
Hear - how often you hear as he's closing the door
And softly you say goodbye...
Come again
Come again

Rifugiati Nel Pianto
French Title: Rentre Chez Toi Et Pleure
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Se ho ferito in te il tuo vivere per me
Vieni qui, rifugiati nel pianto
Stai vicino a me e perdonami anche se
Non dovrei più domandarlo a te
Non temere mai se l'istinto seguirai
Vieni qui, rifugiato nel pianto
Scora se lo puoi quel che è stato tra di noi
E con me felice tornerai
Viueni, vieni, e riporta in me
Il sospiro della vita
Vieni, vieni non dire più
Che fra noi è finita
Non mi dare mai un addio
Che tu mnon vuoi
Vieni qui, rifugiati nel pianto
E ricorda che se tu andassi via da me
Sarei io a piangere per te

Star Of The County Down
((Adapted from: Gilderoy (Traditional))
Traditional (Ireland)
Performer(s): Van Morrison & The Chieftains - 1988
and multiple other artists



Near Banbridge town in the County Down
One morning last July
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen 
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down! 

She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly
And a smile like the rose in June
And you hung on each note from her lily-white throat
As she lilted an Irish tune
At the pattern dance you were held in a trance
As she tripped thru a reel or a jig
And when her eyes she'd roll, she'd coax, on my soul
A spud from a hungry pig!

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down! 

I've travelled a bit, but never was hit
Since my roving career began
But, fair and square, I surrendered there
To the charms of young Rosie McAnn!
With a heart to let, and no tenant yet
Did I meet in shawl or gown
But in she went, and I asked no rent
From the Star of the County Down!

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down! 

As she onward sped sure I scratched my head 
And I looked with a feeling rare
And I says, says I, to a passer by
"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?"
He smiled at me and he said, said he
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Ban
She's the star of the County Down"

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down! 

At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
For a smile from my nut brown Rose
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Till my plough is a rust coloured brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down!

Come A Little Bit Closer

Originally performed by: Jay & The Americans
Covered by various other artists



In a little café just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to bad man, José
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah 

Come a little bit closer 
You're my kind of man 
So big and so strong 
Come a little bit closer 
I'm all-alone 
And the night is so long

So we started to dance 
In my arms, she felt so inviting
That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamoose, Jose's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah 

Come a little bit closer 
You're my kind of man 
So big and so strong 
Come a little bit closer I'm all alone 
And the night is so long

Then the music stopped
When I looked the café was empty
Then I heard José say
"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to José, yeah 

Come a little bit closer 
You're my kind of man 
So big and so strong 
Come a little bit closer 
I'm all alone 
And the night is so long

Incurable! 
Vous êtes au courant?
Oh, son histoire de photos
Il est fou
Je trouve ça complètement idiot
Elle est quand même pas mal, non?
Pas mal...
Vous êtes amoureuse de lui?
Mais qu'est-ce qui vous prend? 
Mais ça va pas, non?
Rien rien je disais ça comme ça 
Faut pas vous fâcher
Simplement travailler avec un type toute la journée
ça peut donner des idées, c'est normal
Moi je suis anormale, si c'est ça que vous voulez dire
Pas commode hein? 
Je vous trouve marrante 
Vous êtes sûrement une affaire, mais vous n'devez pas le savoir
Quelle prétention!
Oh vous n'm'avez pas compris 
Je n'cherchais pas à me placer
Vous avez c'qu'il vous faut?
Exact!
Elle est jolie?
Elles sont très jolies
Ah la la, quel salaud!
Allez, salut poupée!

Star Of Donegal
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The New Barleycorn



One evening fair to take the air alone I chanced to stray
Down by a limpid silv'ry stream that flows beside the way
I heard two lovers talking by an ancient ruined hall
And the fair one's name was Mary Jane, the Star of Donegal

My lovely maid, the youth he said, I'm going across the foam
Unto the land of stars and stripes where peace and plenty flows
I want your faithful promise that you'll wed with none at all
Until I do return to you and the lands of Donegal

She blushed and sighed and then replied, it grieves my heart full sore
To think you are compelled to go and leave the Shamrock shore
Here is my faithful promise that I'll wed with none at all
But stay at home and do not roam from the lands of Donegal 

My sweet fair maid, the youth then said, at home I cannot stay
To California's gold fields I'm bound to cross the sea
To accumulate a fortune great, to build a splendid hall
To decorate and cultivate the lands of Donegal

She raised her lily-white hands and said Yon castle in its day
With all its plains and large demesnes from Lifford to the sea
Belonged to our ancestors with many a splendid hall
And if my father had his rights, I'd be heir of Donegal

My darling maid, the youth then said, the day is drawing near
When Irishmen will return again from all their long career
Our holy land by God's command the fairest land of all
And Heaven will see old Ireland free, Bright Star of Donegal

She blushed and sighed and then replied, Heaven grant that we may see
St. Patrick's isle of Saints to shine great glorious and free
If that be so there's none will go to New York or Montreal
But will stay at home and will not roam from the lands of Donegal

He clasped her in his arms and said, My darling well you know
I love you very dearly and loth I am to go
Let us get wed without fear or dread, that puts an end to all
And then I will have my darling girl, the Star of Donegal

She gave consent and off they went to meet with Father Hugh
Who joined their hands in wedlock bands without any more ado
From Derry quay they sailed away and bade farewell to all
And now they're in America far away from Donegal

The Star
Performer(s): Marie Bottrell



In a brokendown bar
Where she's billed as the star
She sits and she waits to go on
And she looks in the mirror
At the lines on her face
And wonders where the time has all gone

And her mind floats away, back to the day
When she dreamed of the big silver screen
But there were too many bad breaks
And too many heartaches
With too many years in between

Now she's billed as the star
In this brokendown bar
And sometimes it hurts her so
But when they all stand
And give her a hand
It's just like it was long ago

And her mind floats away, back to the day
When she dreamed of the big silver screen
But there were too many bad breaks
And too many heartaches
With too many years in between

But there were too many bad breaks
And too many heartaches
With too many years in between

Combien De Temps Pour T'oublier
Adapted from: I Can't Help But Wonder - 1964
Composer(s): Jean-Michel Rivat; Tom Paxton
Performer(s): Joe Dassin - 1966



Tu ne peux plus rien pour moi
Seulement t'éloigner de moi
T'écarter un peu de mon soleil
Tu as mis devant mes yeux
Tant de petites fleurs bleues
Je n'avais jamais rien vu de pareil

Mais combien faut-il de temps
Pour t'oublier, t'oublier
Combien de temps pour t'oublier

C'est bien là, tout mon malheur
Tu étais la seule fille
Que jamais je n'aurais dû croiser
Je t'avais donné mon cœur
Tu voulais déjà ma vie
Un instant j'ai cru ne plus te quitter

Mais combien faut-il de temps
Pour t'oublier, t'oublier
Combien de temps pour t'oublier

Et si nos amours, ma belle
M'ont un peu brûlé des ailes
Je n'en ai pas l'ombre de regret
Pense à moi, je te salue
Je n'avais jamais connu, ni tenu
Ni vu l'amour de si près

Mais combien faut-il de temps
Pour t'oublier, t'oublier
Combien de temps pour t'oublier
