Spaceman Composer(s): Harry Nilsson First release by: Harry Nilsson - 1972
Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three (One, two, three, four!)
I wanted to be a spaceman That's what I wanted to be But now that I am a spaceman Nobody cares about me
Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me
I wanted to make a good run I wanted to go to the moon I knew that it had to be fun I told 'em to send me real soon I wanted to be a spaceman I wanted to be it so bad But now that I am a spaceman I'd rather be back on the pad
Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is just a lot of lunacy (Yeah!) 'Round and around and around and around and around (So bring me back down) 'Round and around and around and around and around Safe on the ground
Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me, yeah
You know I wanted to be a spaceman That's what I wanted to be But now that I am a spaceman Nobody cares about me
Say, hey! You mother earth You better bring me back down I've taken just as much as I can But around and around and around and around Is the problem of a spaceman
Heart Of The Sunrise Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Bill Bruford; Chris Squire Performer(s): Yes; and various other artists
Love comes to you and you follow Lose one on to the Heart of the Sunrise Sharp-Distance How can the wind with its arms all around me
Lost on a wave and then after Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise Sharp-Distance How can the wind with so many around me Lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by Counting their broken ties they decide Love comes to you and then after Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise Lost on a wave but you're dreaming Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise Sharp-Distance How can the wind with its arms all around me Sharp-Distance How can the wind with so many around me I feel lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by Counting their broken ties they decided
Straight light moving and removing Sharpness of the colour sun shine Straight light searching all the meanings of the song Long last treatment of the telling that Relates to all the words sung Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you
Love comes to you and then after Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise Sharp-Distance How can the sun with its arms all around me Sharp-Distance How can the wind with so many around me I feel lost in the city
Colgado De Un Sueño First performance by: Serafín Zubiri - 2000
Colgado de un sueño en lo alto del cielo intento vivir el mundo a lo lejos parece pequeño visto desde aqui Que no inporta lo que digan de mi Que no tengo los pies en el suelo Colgado de un sueño Consigo vivir Aqui no hay limites a mis deseos Nada me pueden prohibir Navego libre por mis pensamientos ¡Que no me bajen de aqui! Aqui hay espacio para mis anhelos Todo se puede cumplir Que no me obliguen a pisar el suelo Que sólo quiero seguir Colgado De Un Sueño
Flotando en el aire Sin miedo a caer Que el mundo es pequeño Que todas mis ansias no caben en el Que no me importa lo que digan de mi Que no tengo los pies en el suelo

The fireball that we rode was moving But now we've got a new machine Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah the freaks said Man those cats can really swing They got music in their solar system They've rocked around the Milky Way They dance around the Borealice They're Space Truckin' everyday Come on
Hard Time Losin' Man Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Chorus: And you think you've seen trouble Well you're lookin' at the man ah ha Oh, the world's own original hard luck story And a hard time losin' man
Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy And sometimes skies are blue And sometimes they say that you eat the bear But sometimes the bear eats you And sometimes I feel like I should go Far far away and hide 'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in And all that ever comes is the tide
Chorus
Oh I saved up all my money I gonna buy me a flashy car So I go downtown to see the man And he smokin' on a big cigar Well he must'a thought I were Rockefeller Or an uptown man of wealth He said "Boy I got the car that's made for you And it's cleaner than the Board of Health" Then I got on the highway...oh I feelin' fine...I hit a bump Then I found I bought a car held together By wire, and a couple a' hunks of twine
Chorus
Oh, Friday night, feelin' right I head out on the street Standin' in the doorway Was a dealer known as Pete Well he sold me a dime of some super fine Dynamite from Mexico I spent all that night Just tryin' to get right On an ounce of Oregano
Tell Me! Composer(s): Örlygur Smári - Sigurður Örn Jónsson First performance by: August & Telma - 2000
With you in my life, it's destined to be right And I know that it's true, girl, I was only made for you So why don't we make the pieces fit and pack our bags tonight? And go wherever love will take us, we'll make it all right
Tell me, tell me, tell me once, tell me twice Tell me there is no compromise We'll be together all the time So say you will be mine
Oo... with you by my side, I'm on a rollercoaster-ride And I know that it's true - boy, I was only made for you Listen to me now, you've got to give me a sign 'Cause I can't wait here any longer, make up your mind
Tell me, tell me, tell me once, tell me twice Tell me there is no compromise We'll be together all the time
Tell me, tell me, tell me once, tell me twice Tell me there is no compromise We'll be together all the time So say you will be mine
If you only knew all that we could do We'd be together all alone, you and me Like we were always meant to be
Oh... I don't know if it's fact or fiction But I'm sure we'll make the right decision Look into my eyes now, baby, give it all you've got
Tell me, tell me, tell me once, tell me twice Tell me there is no compromise We'll be together all the time
Tell me, tell it to me once, tell me twice Tell me there is no compromise We'll be together all the time
Hard Time Hungrys Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Bobby Bare
There's an old man sittin' in a rented room sittin' and watchin' the wall Tryin' to remember the good ole days and wonderin' why the kids don't call They used to go drivin' in the summer sun when his woman was alive Now he reads his Gideon Bible and waits for his welfare check to ride He got the hard time hungrys doin' the best that he can Lord the hard time hungrys are spreadin' all over the land
There's a Tennessee housewife shoppin' in the market wearin' her last used jeans She picks up a roast then changes her mind Puts it back down and buys some more beans Her old man's workin' in the filling station and what's he gonna say When he sits down to a table full of nothin' after workin' like a dog all day He got the hard time hungrys doin' the best that they can I see the hard time hungrys spreadin' all over the land
A Mississippi farmer he's watchin' the sky wondering if it's gonna rain The payments due on the tractor Lord and the subse it's been taken away And in New Yoprk City a taxicab driver screams at the world outside Cause it sure is hot and nobody's got the money for a cross town ride Lord they got the hard time hungrys...
Now I ain't no preacher and I ain't no teacher but one thing sure as the sun If the dollar keeps a droppin' and prices keep a risin' the worst is yet to come We got the hard time hungrys I feel it touchin' my hand Lord I see the hard time hungrys spreadin' all over the land Yes I see the hard time hungrys spreadin' all over the land
Space Station No. 5 Composer(s): Sammy Hagar - Ronnie Montrose Performer(s): Sammy Hagar and multiple other artists
Start, with the sun And move on out The future's in the skies above The heavens unfold And a new star is born Space and time makin' love
Oh what a time we had Living on the ground I've moved to station #5 See you next time around Next time around
As far you want, as close as you need It's all in the mind, you know This old world hasn't really seen it's day It's here, time to go
Oh what a time we had Living on the ground I've moved to station #5 See you next time around Next time around
Remember when it was so clear We were young, but the memory still remains To pick fruit from a tree Fish from the seas Now nothing's left here, but the stains Well I can't cry no more Can only be glad There's other places we can be If the time suits you right I'm leaving tonight Come fly away With me! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Oh, yeah
Start, with the sun And move on out The future's in the skies above The heavens unfold A new star is born Space and time makin' love
Oh what a time we had Living on the ground I've moved to station #5 See you next time around Next time around
Heart Of Stone Composer(s): Kostas; Dwight Yoakam Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Chorus: This heart of stone sure is missing you Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs This heart of stone has not forgotten you But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong
Memories have made its will grow tired and weak Silently it turned from being bold to meek 'Til finally it gave into a sad defeat Aching more and more with every fragile beat
Chorus
Loneliness has slowly stripped it of its pride Leaving just an empty well here behind Without a hope of any way it could survive Stranded there alone and simply left to die

Serenata Serena Composer(s): Nick Munro; Roger Whittaker Performer(s): Roger Whittaker
Serenata Serena I can hear your voice so clear I can feel your love descending Reaching to touch my heart so far apart
Serenata Serena How I wish I'd had the time Just to bring our souls together Now it's to late, your gone so far so long
Just to shake your hand to try to understand why we never found the time to talk together I listen to the trees Your voice upon the breeze Oh, dad I always wonder why until I die, until I die
Serenata Serena Can you hear my voice so clear? Can you feel my love ascending? Reaching across the stars to where you are So pure and oh, so far to where you are
Hard Hearted Hannah Composer(s): Jack Yellen; Milton Ager; Bob Bigelow; Charles Bates Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald and multiple other artists
In old Savannah, I said Savannah The weather there is nice and warm! The climates of a Southern brand But here's what I don't understand They got a gal there, a pretty gal there Who's colder than an Arctic storm Got a heart just like a stone Even ice men leave her alone!
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah The vamp of Savannah The meanest gal in town Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher She's a gal who loves to see men suffer! To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em Is her delight, they say I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man! She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah The vamp of Savannah The meanest gal in town Talk of your cold, refrigeratin' mamas Brother, she's a polar bear's pajamas! To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em Is her delight, they say An evening spent with Hannah sittin' on your knees Is like travelin' through Alaska in your BVDs She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!
Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah She's got the right name The vamp of Savannah Any time a woman can take a great big pan And start pouring water on a drownin' man She's hard hearted Hannah The Vamp of Savannah GA

Heart Of Stone Composer(s): Andy Hill; Peter Sinfield Performer(s): Cher
Beneath the white fire of the moon Love's wings are broken all too soon We never learn Hurt together, hurt alone Don't you sometimes wish Your heart was a heart of stone We turn the wheel and break the chain Put steel to steel and laugh at pain We're dreamers in castles made of sand The road to Eden's overgrown Don't you sometimes wish Your heart was made of stone Look at the headlines Big crowd at the crazy house Long queue for the joker's shoes Ten rounds in the ring with love Do you lose and win Or win and lose Sweet rain like mercy in the night (Lay me down, wash away the sorrow) Caress my soul and set it right (Lay me down, show me your tomorrow) Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown Dont' you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone Mercy, mercy wish your heart Was a heart of stone Get the picture No room for the innocent Peak season in lonely town Knocked out of the ring by love Are you down and up Or up and down I ask the river for a sign (In a dream we go on together) How long is love supposed to shine (In a dream diamonds are forever) But you and I, hurt together, hurt alone Don't you sometimes wish Your heart was a heart of stone Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone (With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected) Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone (With a heart of stone, you'll be well connected) (Repeat)
