Always Composer(s): Guy Allison - Graham Russell - Michael Sherwood Performer(s): Air Supply
I can see hills touch the sky Heaven and earth, you and I Know we will always be Here in the silence we lie Shadows we cast, you and I Speak for eternity
Pressed between pages Flowers will die Stories may end as time passes by You and I will always be
With every word that I hear Whenever whispers are near I can believe in fate Promises made, only one Yesterday fades from the sun And falls to a new embrace
Tears overflow as rivers run dry Here in a moment, time passes by You and I will always be, for always
Pressed between pages, flowers will die Stories may end as time passes by You and I will always be, will always be
(You Bring Out) The Wild Side Of Me Composer(s): Dan Seals Performer(s): Dan Seals
Our friends all think I am a gentle man By the clothes that I wear, the things I say But when I hold you in my arms There's a feeling you set free You bring out the wild side of me
I thought I knew what love was all about And I made all the moves so carefully When I'm with you, I do some things I never thought I'd do or see 'Cause you bring out the wild side of me
Chorus
No one's there to notice When the change comes over me When I kiss your sweet lips And hold you tenderly No one sees the stranger That this simple man can be When you bring out the wild side of me
You always seem to know what's on my mind And you're everything I'll ever need And when that love light's in your eyes There's no place I'd rather be 'Cause you bring out the wild side of me
Chorus
No one's there to notice When the change comes over me When I kiss your sweet lips And hold you tenderly No one sees the stranger That this simple man can be When you bring out the wild side of me
Honolulu Baby Composer(s): T. Marvin Hatley Performer(s): Laurel & Hardy
While down on a South Sea island Underneath the beauty of the stars I strayed upon some maidens Who were strumming on their guitars A hula maid was dancing And she knew I'd found my paradise So this is what I told her As I gazed into her eyes...
Honolulu baby, where'd you get those eyes And that dark complexion, I just idolize Honolulu baby, where'd you get that style And the pretty red lips, and that sunny smile When you start to dance, your hula hips entrance When you shake it up and down You shake a little here, you shake a little there Well you got the boys going to town Honolulu baby, sure know your stuff Honolulu baby, gonna call your bluff

Take a chance, and take a hold Give it all and turn it to gold Time has come, so make a stand On your own and take command

This is our night, fly to the top, baby Yes, we can do it, just wait and see This is our night, time for a change, baby Get rid of the old, take a hold and be free This is our night
Counting down, the night of nights Getting now to stand and fight Don't back down, just look within Do it now, I know you will
When I look into your eyes It comes as no surprise
This is our night, fly to the top, baby Yes, we can do it, just wait and see This is our night, time for a change, baby Get rid of the old, take a hold and be free This is our night
This is our night, fly to the top, baby Yes, we can do it, just wait and see This is our night, time for a change, baby Get rid of the old, take a hold and be free

Chorus: Well I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home
Now I'm living wild and dangerously But I've got plenty of company When the moon comes up and the sun goes down I can't wait to see the lights of town
Chorus: 'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home
A pretty little girl and a jug of wine Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time With the juke box moaning those honky tonk sounds I can't wait to lay my money down
Chorus: 'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old juke box But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home

1979 - Die Beislhur (by Peter Schleicher)
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady, then she covered me in roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

Stone Cold Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Roger Glover - Joe Lynn Turner Performer(s): Rainbow
Every night I have the same old dream 'bout you and me and what's in between So many changes so many lies Try to run try to hide from everything that I feel inside But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes
Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well Stone cold can't break away from your spell Another dark and empty night if I was wrong I wanna make it right But you are so distant so far away Your words like ice fall on the ground breaking the silence without a sound Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say
Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well Stone cold I can't break away from your spell You leave me stone cold Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well You're stone cold yeah I can't break away from your spell Stone cold baby I thought I knew you so well You're stone cold ... ice cold ... can't break away from your spell You put me in the deep freeze [stone cold] Oh baby don't you leave me [I thought I knew you so well] Stone stone cold your leavin' me cold [can't break away from your spell] Stone cold I thought I knew you so well Stone cold can't break away from your spell Stone cold I thought I knew you so well Stone cold can't break away from your spell
Honky Tonk Heroes Composer(s): Billy Joe Shaver Performer(s): Waylon Jennings; and various other artists
Low down leaving sun I've done did everything that needs done Woe is me, why can't I see I best be leaving well enough alone Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights They keep a-haunting me in memories Well there's one in every crowd, for crying out loud Why was it always turning out be me
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows Seems like it was just the other day I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables And generally blowing all my hard earned pay Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes There weren't another other way to be For loveable losers, no account boozers And honky tonk heroes like me
Yeah, yeah
(Repeat Chorus) Where does it go, the good Lord only knows Seems like it was just the other day I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables And generally blowing all my hard earned pay Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes There weren't another other way to be For loveable losers, no account boozers And honky tonk heroes like me

Se sou tinta tu és tela Se sou chuva és aguarela Se sou sal és branca areia Se sou mar és maré-cheia Se sou céu és nuvem nele Se sou estrela és de encantar Se sou noite és luz para ela Se sou dia és o luar
Sou a voz do coração Numa carta aberta ao mundo Sou o espelho demoção Do teu olhar Profundo Sou um todo Num instante Corpo dado Em jeito amante Sou o tempo que não passa Quando a saudade Me abraça

It took a light from a honky-tonk Put the beam in your eye It took a record from a jukebox And it bid my gal goodbye And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal
Oh, she said she didn't love me She didn't care no more She'd rather spend her life now On a honky-tonk hardwood floor But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
Someday you'll come back cryin' Someday you will be blue And that mean ol' honky-tonkin' life Will get the best off you But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal

Stone Composer(s): Ronnie Lane Performer(s): Small Faces
Once I was a stone many years ago Into a pool was thrown many years ago Time passed by, the pool ran dry, excavated was I And tempered and beat in a fiery heat By the hand of a man, who's name was Dan Dan the blacksmith
Once I was a sword, many years ago And my blade was broad, many years ago Worn with pride, into battle I'd ride at a warrior's side And I cut and I killed and was lost in a field And I soon did rust, corrode to dust Oh my
Once I was a daisy, many years ago In pastures green and lazy, many years ago But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat and forgetting to float He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead But was relieved to find just how kind it all was
Once I was a grub, many years ago I lived in muck and mud, many years ago But on the very first noon I became a cocoon that resembled a prune When the Good Lord was done in the warmth of the sun I shed my skins, and dried my wings, and I flew away
Once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival And once I was a carp and lived in waters ornamental And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from the Bible Said "pretty boy, pretty boy, St. Luke"
Once I was a mule, a many years ago But my master treat me cruel, a many years ago By and by I was sick, couldn't move to his kick, so he took out a stick And hit it right 'cross my back to an almighty crack And to his dismay, I passed away, into the blue
I was born a human baby, many years ago I was born unto a lady, many years ago All our hopes they were piled on the back of a child that turned out to be wild Sent the devil a prayer and caused the parson to swear So I took my leave to lie and thieve my way to jail
I've been tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor I've known good times and disaster But now I've found a teacher, and the teacher has a master The master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster I don't need no proof, because that's the truth, and I'll drink to that
Honky Tonk Downstairs Composer(s): Dallas Frazier Performer(s): George Jones; and various other artists
Well, it won't be long now Until that ol' sun goes down And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears My wife works all night long For a man who's halfway gone She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name Of a man who's locked and chained To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares To the men with the hungry eyes She works and hides her pride She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name Of a man who's locked and chained To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares To the men with the hungry eyes She works and hides her pride She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
La Voix Composer(s): Malena Ernman - Fredrik Kempe First performance by: Malena Ernman - 2009
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep a secret? Im in love with you Can you make a promise? Can you make a promise? Stay forever true, oh But Im forever yours
Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix Je taime, ma vie, cest jamais sans toi Jvis ma vie pour toi, cest lunivers pour moi Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix
Tell me what youre feelin Tell me what youre feelin I just wanna know Tell me what youre dreamin Tell me what youre dreamin Let your feelings show, oh Stay and dont let go
Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix Je taime, ma vie, cest jamais sans toi Jvis ma vie pour toi, cest lunivers pour moi Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix
(Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix) (Je taime, ma vie, cest jamais sans toi) Jvis ma vie pour toi, cest lunivers pour moi Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix Jentends la voix, la voix (Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix)
She'd be hurt if she knew I was drinkin' Cause one's too much and twelve's not enough She knows how it messes up my thinkin' How it makes me look for someone else to love
I get honky tonk amnesia I forget where all my love belongs I get honky tonk amnesia And sometimes it lasts all night long
She'll accept my story without question About the overtime I'm puttin' in Till someone calls, she'll tell them that I'm restin' While I wonder what I've done and where I've been
I get honky tonk amnesia I forget where all my love belongs I get honky tonk amnesia And sometimes it lasts all night long

Savoy, the home of sweet romance Savoy, it wins you at a glance Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance

Honky Cat Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John; and various other artists
When I look back boy I must have been green Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream Looking for an answer trying to find a sign Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind
They said get back honky cat Better get back to the woods Well I quit those days and my redneck ways And oh the change is gonna do me good
You better get back honky cat Living in the city ain't where it's at It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine
Well I read some books and I read some magazines About those high class ladies down in New Orleans And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule
They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart But how can you stay, when your heart says no How can you stop when your feet say go
