Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola
(Adapted from: Space Oddity - 1969)
Composer(s): David Bowie - Mogol
Performer(s): Computers - 1969



La mia mente ha preso il volo
Un pensiero, uno solo
Io cammino mentre dorme la citta'

I suoi occhi nella notte
Fanali bianchi nella notte
Una voce che mi parla chi sara'?

Dimmi ragazzo solo dove vai
Perche' tanto dolore?
Hai perduto senza dubbio un grande amore
Ma di amori e' tutta piena la citta'

No ragazza sola, no no no
Stavolta sei in errore
Non ho perso solamente un grande amore
Ieri sera ho perso tutto con lei

Ma lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la trovero' mai piu'

Ora ragazzo solo dove andrai
La notte e' un grande mare
Se ti serve la mia mano per nuotare
Grazie ma stasera io vorrei morire
Perche' sai negli occhi miei
C'e' un angelo, un angelo
Che ormai non vola piu' che ormai non vola piu'
Che ormai non vola piu'
C'e' lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la trovero' mai piu'

Heart Of My Heart (aka The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart)
Composer(s): Ben Ryan
Performer(s): The Four Aces
and multiple other artists



I sometimes wish I was a kid again
Down in the old neighbourhood
Just to be with Charlie, with little Joe and Pete
Boy, we had a quartet that was mighty hard to beat
I'd love to stand down by that cellar door
Just to hear that Quartet sing once more....

"Heart of my heart", I love that melody
"Heart of my heart" brings back a memory
When we were kids on the corner of the street
We were rough and ready guys
But oh, how we could harmonise

"Heart of my heart" meant friends were dearer then
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten
If once more I could listen
To the gang that sang "Heart of my heart"

Hard Headed Man
Composer(s): Cathy Lemons
Performer(s): Cathy Lemons



I'm gonna' pack up all my things
Head on down the road
I'm gonna' pack up all my things
Head on down the road
I have taken all I can
And I just can' take no more!

I got a hard headed man
Upsets me all the time
I got a hard headed man
Upsets me all the time
No, he don't see things the way I do
And I do believe I'll lose my mind

All I ever wanted
Was for you to take me as I am
All I ever wanted
for you to take me as I am
You want me to change my ways
And I don't believe I can

You a hard headed man
Ya well you finally met your match
You a hard headed man
Well you finally met your match
Now I'm headin' down the road
And there won't be no looking back

OOOOO
No, No, No
I mean it this time!

Envie De Vivre
First performance by: Nathalie Sorce - 2000



Comment vivre sans amour?
Comment vivre sans amour?
Comment vivre l'envie de vivre?

Au delà-des pensées, au-delà de l'amour
Il nous faut partager bien autre chose chaque jour
Sous les foudres du temps en colère depuis deux mille ans
Ce qui reste debout, ce n'est pas nous

Entre le bien, le mal, bien d'autres sentiments
Suivent la seule étoile à la gloire du dieu vivant
À travers les passions et défiant toutes les saisons
Ce qui reste debout ce n'est pas nous, mais

L'envie de vivre pour l'Eternité
L'envie de vivre nous a dépassés
L'envie de vivre restera gravée
Comme dans un livre qu'on a oublié

Mais on ne peut survivre dans un monde sans amour
Les portes de la vie en auront besoin chaque jour
Comment pourrait-on voir un sourire dans chaque regard
Si la case départ est dénuée de tout espoir?

Alors je veux vivre, vivre pour donner
L'envie de vivre et l'envie d'aimer

L'envie de vivre pour l'Eternité
L'envie de vivre nous a dépassés
L'envie de vivre restera gravée
Comme dans un livre qu'on a oublié

Comment vivre sans amour?
Comment vivre sans amour?
Comment vivre l'envie de vivre?

Heart Of Mine
Composer(s): Bobby Caldwell; Dennis Matkosky; Jason Scheff
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs



One day you may
Find true love that will last forever
Never, tell them you'll spend a lifetime wishing on together
You never thought she'd say goodbye
Then you will never understand the reasons why

Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing
Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No-one can mend you now

Love plays fool games
Who can believe she's found another
Lover, does she miss me
Sometimes you just cant help but wonder
No you can't hold the hands of time
Then you will always be the one
She left behind

Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing
Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No-one can mend you now

Then you will never understand the reasons why
Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing
Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No-one can mend you now

Heart of mine
(Oh heart of mine)
Heart of mine
Heart of mine
Heart of mine

Harcelez-Moi
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadianmandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



En c'moment, pour moi c'est pas terrible
Je n' suis pas l' profil, pas la cible
Cadre ou pas, j' travaill', je suis soumis
Mais mon chiffre d'affaires est tout p'tit
Sexuellement, j'suis pas trop r'gardant
Réussir mérite un élan

{Refrain:}
Hey, harcelez-moi
Passez sur mon corps
J' balanc'rai pas
Hey, harcelez-moi
J' prendrai tous les torts
Même l'avocat

J'suis prêt à tout, j' peux apprendr' la grande cuisine
Proxénète le jour et la nuit devenir drag queen
Ou bien speakerine pour vendre au télé-achat
Ou faire la nurse pour enfants, les chiens, les chats
Etre homme de main, d'compagnie, ou valet d' pied
Y'en a même qui l'prennent sans vouloir s'faire payer
Moi tout c'que j'veux, c'est que je sois déclaré
Urssaf, fiche de paye, j'veux tout collectionner

J' me mets sur l' marché, d' la vie active
Je prends conscience, j' positive
Crise ou pas, j'espère, je suis confiant
J' vais pas glander, très longtemps
Relancer notr' économie
Mais avant tout me faire crédit

{Refrain ...}

Space Monkey
Composer(s): Ivan Král - Patti Smith - Tom Verlaine
Performer(s): Patti Smith



Blood on the T.V., ten o'clock news
Souls are invaded, heart in a groove
Beatin' and beatin' so outta time
What's the mad matter with the church chimes? 
Here comes a stranger up on Ninth Avenue
Leanin' green tower, indiscreet view
Over the cloud, over the bridge
sensitive muscle, sensitive ridge of my 
space monkey. Sign of the time-time 
Space monkey, so outta line-line
Space monkey, sort of divine
And he's mine, mine, all mine

Pierre Clementi, snot full o' cocaine
The sexual streets, why it's all so insane
Humans are running, lavender room
Hoverin' liquid, move over moon for my 
space monkey. Sign of the time-time 
Space monkey, sort of divine-vine 
Space monkey, so out of line and he's mine, mine, oh he's mine 

A stranger comes up to him; hands him an old, rusty Polaroid
It starts crumbling in his hands
He says, "Oh man, I don't get the picture 
This is no picture
This is just...this just-a...this just-a... 
This is my jack-knife 
This is my jack-knife
This is my jack-knife 
This is my jack" 

Rude excavation, landin' site
Boy hesitatin', jack-knife
He rips his leg open, so out of time
Blood and light runnin' 
It's all like a dream
Light of my life, he's dressed in flame
It's all so predestined 
It's all such a game for my space monkey 
Sign of the time-time
Space monkey, sort of divine-vine
Space monkey, so out of line and it's all just space, just space

There he is, up in a tree 
Oh, I hear him callin' down to me
That banana-shaped object ain't no banana
It's a bright, yellow U.F.O. 
And he's coming to get me 
Here I go
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up ,up, up ... 
Oh, goodbye mama 
I'll never do dishes again
Here I go from my body
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha 
Help! 

Heart Of Gold
Composer(s): Bob Nolan
Performer(s): Vera Lynn



You have a heart that right from the start
was filled with a love for me, yes just for me
You helped me bear my trouble and care
With your sweet, sweet sympathy

A lady sweet and old
You're lovely to behold
For though your hair is grey with care
You have a heart of gold

I'm glad that I have you
To tell my troubles to
You helped me so because I know
You have a heart of gold

You're kind and sweet in all you do
And when the world was hard to you
You smiled and let the sunshine through
That's why I love you so

Your years of service hold
The sweetest story told
And though your brow is silver now
You have a heart of gold

Harbor Of Dreams
Composer(s): J.R. Shannon



When the day is dying and all the world is still 
Shadows come acreeping from each rock and rill 
Golden bars from sunset land tint the hills aglow 
Soft breezes whisper of days long ago
Voices from shadowland call me 
it seems, I wander on 'mid sylvan streams 
Gliding on mem'rys ship thru twilight land
Into the Harbor of Dreams

Angel eyes are watching thru stars way up above 
Nightingale is singing a carol of love 
Night has drawn her mantle o'er land and o'er the sea 
Weaving a haze of fond mem'ries for me
Drifting along where my dream river flows 
My eyelids close in sweet repose 
Guiding me onward, my beacon light gleams 
Into the Harbor of Dreams

Back thru the years of smiles and tears 
I sail away at close of day 
And I journey a far to the land of moonbeams 
And anchor at last in the Harbor of Dreams

Solo
Composer(s): Andrew Lane, Brandon Barnes
First performance by: Alsou - 2000



Sitting alone, here in my room
Staring at your picture from midnight till noon
Counting the hours, counting the days
You know that I'll miss you in a million ways
 
Now I wait in the cold and this is getting old
No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride
When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall
By my actions you should know – I'm going solo
Going solo
 
My friends try to tell me, I didn't want to listen
'Cause I'm the kind of person gotta find out on my own
I gave you my heart, you tore it apart
But I'm coming back strong, I knew it was wrong
 
Now I wait in the cold and this is getting old
No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride
When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall
By my actions you should know
 
Now I wait in the cold and this is getting old
No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride
When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall
By my actions you should know – I'm going solo
Going solo
 
Now I wait...
Wait in the cold and this is getting old
No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride
When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall
By my actions you should know
 
Now I wait in the cold and this is getting old
No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride
When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall
By my actions you should know – I'm going solo 

Heart Of Gold
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young



I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been a miner for a heart of gold

Harbour Lights
Composer(s): Hugh Williams - Jimmy Kennedy
First release by: Roy Fox & His Orch. - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists



I saw the harbour lights
They only told me we were parting
Those same old harbour lights
That once brought you to me

I watched the harbour lights
How could I help it?
Tears were starting
Good-bye to golden nights 
Beside the silvery seas

I long to hold you dear
And kiss you just once more
But you were on the ship
And I was on the shore

Now I know lonely nights
For all the while my heart keeps praying
That someday harbour lights
Will bring you back to me

Space Is Deep
Composer(s): Dave Brock
Performer(s): Hawkwind



Space is dark, it is so endless
When you're lost it's so relentless
It is so big, it is so small
Why does man try to act so tall
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?

It does not feel, it does not die
Space is neither truth nor lie 
Into the void we have to travel
To find the clue which will unravel
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?

The secret lies with our tomorrow
In each of us is a hidden sorrow
The path goes onward through the night
Beyond the realms of ancient light
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?

Heart Of Glass
Composer(s): Deborah Harry; Chris Stein
Performer(s): Blondie



Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between "what I find is pleasing" and "I'm feeling fine"
Love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind if I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Happyland
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Liza Minnelli;
Harper's Bizarre; Warren Schatz



The wind is cold
The morning skies are gray
And through the fog
I walk along the bay
Past a regiment of rusty swings
On sandy fields of broken things

Ferris wheel was turning
And the roller coaster roared
Summer sun was burning
On the hot dog stands and the candy stores
They had chocolate ice cream
Apples on a stick
Big old jars with gumdrops in 'em
And if you guessed it right you'd win 'em

Happyland, Happyland
Land that dreams are made of
Happyland, Happyland
You could have a real nice time
And a ride for just one dime

What a great place to be (??) bored, five and
They left you alone
They have these cars that you coud drive in
Pretend you were old
I was much better off when I was pretending
Everything's far too real

Happyland, Happyland
Land that dreams are made of
Carousels, wishing wells
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da

Ferris wheel was turning
The roller coaster roared
Summer sun was burning
On the hot dog stands and the candy stores

Ferris wheel was turning
Roller coaster roared

My Heart Goes Boom
Composer(s): Tore Madsen - Morten Henriksen
First performance by: Charmed - 2000



Wooh!
 
Summer, Saturday and sunshine, suddenly, I saw you there
A stunning sight from God knows where
You were standing in the shadows, looking quite impossible
I lost my mind and popsicle
 
A radio was singing
Something blue in perfect tune
Half a look over your shoulder
I couldn't keep from staring back at you
 
My heart goes boom when I see you, baby
Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon
My heart goes boom, put your arms around me
Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon
My heart goes boom
 
Summer, Saturday, and sunset, you said hello and I said hi
And something lit the evening sky
You came out of the shadows with a teasing twinkle in your eye
And took my senses for a ride
 
A radio was playing
Something slow in perfect tune
Half a smile as you sat down
I couldn't seem to keep my eyes off you
 
My heart goes boom when I see you, baby
Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon
My heart goes boom, put your arms around me
Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon
(My heart goes boom)
 
A radio was singing
Something blue in perfect tune
Half a look over your shoulder
I couldn't seem to keep my eyes off you
 
My heart goes...
My heart goes boom when I see you, baby
Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon
My heart goes boom, put your arms around me
Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon
My heart goes boom
 
Oh baby, my heart goes boom

Heart Like A Wheel
Composer(s): Jo Callis; Reynolds
Performer(s): The Human League



Calling up the promised land 
Johnny Seven's coming over the sea 
He's taking your time 
When you want to be free

Holding out a helping hand 
Are you ready for a real career? 
Will you be so cool 
When it's happening here?

It don't say nothing that I haven't heard 
If what I hear is true 
You won't keep the law with a broken word 
So what are you going to do?

Heart like a wheel 
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel 
Changing in time 
Beating colder steel

Pass the message around the world 
The medium is in retreat 
The power is here 
And packing some heat

Sell your soul to a holy war 
Set the captive free 
We make no promises anymore 
But it isn't fooling me

Heart like a wheel 
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel 
Changing in time beating colder steel

You can't keep the wheels turnign anymore 
With anger, blood and fear 
Or make any friends with an M16 
When you blast your way through here

Heart like a wheel 
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel 
Changing in time beating colder steel

Heart like a wheel 
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel 
Changing in time beating colder steel

Heart like a wheel 
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel 
Driving the world is going to be a steal

It was on a summer night, she says, a year ago today
Packed, the place was packed
The chicos lookin' for some play
He wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to Yemayá
And he was calm and handsome
As they squeezed through to the bar
The girls were in tight dresses, just like sweets in cellophane
Everyone was there
Sabrosón from Spanish Harlem
And luz from Camaguey
In her hand a single rose, and in her mouth a razorblade
Hot, the place was hot
Too many people to be safe

Who cared
It was our night
Watch us seize the day
And dance it all away...

Bailamos, esa noche, bailamos
In Happyland 

It was on a summer night, she says - yes, it was a year ago
Hot, the place was hot
but where else were they gonna go
And then she heard the screams
And saw the smoke come down
And then it really turned into the hottest club in town
She remembers all the firetrucks 
And that maldito TV crew
And he, he didn't make it
So, "mi amor, this song's for you"
She's got red shoes on her feet
A nd a red smile on her face
And people say she's loca, to go back into that place 

Who cared
This is my night
Watch me seize the day
And dance it all away...

Bailaré, esta noche, bailaré
In Happyland

Soyons Sages
Composer(s): Robert Gall - G. Magenta
Performer(s): France Gall



Soyons sages, sages, sages
J'ai ma main dans ta main
Rien que nous sur la plage
Dans la nuit sous les pins

Au creux de ton épaule
Donne-moi, donne-moi tes yeux
Si nos bouches s'affolent
Restons calmes tous deux

Soyons sages, sages, sages
J'ai ma main dans ta main
Qu'il est doux ton visage
Contre toi je suis bien

Tu le sais, à mon âge
On a peur, oui peur de la vie
Tous les deux, soyons sages
Nous avons toute la vie

Tous les deux, soyons sages
Nous avons toute la vie
Sages, sages, sages
Sages, sages, sages sages

Heart Like A Wheel
Composer(s): Anna McGarrigle
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt;
and various other artists



Some say a heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it, you can't mend it
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is like that ship out in mid ocean

They say that death is a tragedy
It comes once and it's over
But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss
'Cause what's the use of living with no true lover

And it's only love, and it's only love
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out

When harm is done no love can be won
I know this happens frequently
What I can't understand
Oh please God hold my hand
Is why it should have happened to me

And it's only love and it's only love
And it's only love and it's only love
Only love, only love
Only love, only love
