Another Summer Night Composer(s): Paul Abela - Georgina Abela First performance by: Fabrizio Faniello - 2001
The golden sand beneath my feet There's music in the air A guitar in my hand I'm sure you understand all this is magic No matter where the wind blows I'll always think of you Stay with me, young and free We'll live in perfect harmony
Another summer night down by the ocean Under the palm trees, you and I Walking on the beach beneath the moonlight Just like a dream that never dies Never dies, never dies
Blue skies all around us Feels like love is everywhere Just a smile and our eyes Will meet so we can feel the fire burning A taste of heaven's what I need Can never get enough Million stars, endless sky With each moment passing by
Another summer night down by the ocean (By the ocean) Under the palm trees, you and I (Just you and I) Walking on the beach beneath the moonlight Just like a dream that never dies Never dies, never dies (Like a dream that never dies)
Another summer night down by the ocean (By the ocean) Under the palm trees, you and I (You and I) Walking on the beach beneath the moonlight Just like a dream that never dies Never dies
(Another summer night down by the ocean) (Just by the ocean) (Under the palm trees, you and I) Never dies (Walking on the beach beneath the moonlight) (Just like a dream that never dies) Another summer night
Heavy Fuel Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits; The Tribute Band
Last time I was sober, man I felt bad Worst hangover that I ever had It took six hamburgers and scotch all night Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right 'cos if you wanna run cool If you wanna run cool If you wanna run cool, you got to run On heavy, heavy fuel
My life makes perfect sense Lust and food and violence Sex and money are my major kicks Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks 'cos if you wanna run cool Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run On heavy, heavy fuel
My chick loves a man who's strong The things she'll do to turn me on I love the babes, don't get me wrong Hey, that's why I wrote this song
I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead When my ugly big car won't climb this hill I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill 'cos if you wanna run cool If you wanna run cool Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run On heavy, heavy fuel

Heavenly Homes Composer(s): Bill Nelson Performer(s): Be Bop Deluxe
The stars are burning And the moon is shining bright The world is turning underneath This canopy of night... Somewhere tomorrow warms the distance With the light of dawn You yawn, my love Your eyes are growing tired The dawn must come although we will deny it I'd like to hold you here Beneath these clouds of darkest blue It could be a million years Before the day comes creepin' through But in the meantime Let the moonshine shine I'm fine my love, but tell me How are you...? You know that in the end it all comes true... Heavenly homes are hard to find Heavenly thoughts in heavenly minds Are not the world's design

The love light that shone so strong Sweet love light that shone so strong If I came home tonight, would that same light be shinin'? Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'm just outside of town I'll soon be at your door But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong? My beautiful dreams gone wrong? If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'? Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more For, maybe someone else has made you care

Heaven Will Protect An Honest Girl Composer(s): R.P. Weston; Bert Lee; Harris Weston Performer(s): Gracie Fields
On the day I left the village, my dear Mother whispered, "Nell" Take this piece of bread and dripping and your fare And remember when in London, though you're just a servant gel You're a blonde, the sort that gentlemen ensnare With your youth and fatal beauty, when you get to Waterloo There'll be crowds of dukes and millionaires all waiting there for you
Heaven will protect an honest gel An an-gi-el will guard you, little Nell When these rich men tempt you, Nelly With their spark-el-ling Moselly Say "Nay! nay!" and do be very care-fu-el! And if some old bloated blase roue swell Says 'I'll kiss you, we're alone in this hotel' Breathe a prayer he shall not do it And then biff him with the cruet Then Heaven will protect an honest gel!"
When I got to wicked London in my little clogs and shawl And my but of bread and dripping in my hand I went up to that big Lifeguard on his horse outside Whitehall And I asked him to direct me to the Strand But he didn't even answer; he just sat there with his sword In a helment that had whiskers on, so I said, "Thank the Lord---for
Heaven will protect an honest gel" And I reached Picadilly safe and well There I saw a red light glowing But across I started going When a P'liceman pulled me back I nearly fell "You're a silly little fool," he starts to yell "Don't you know what that red light means?" I said, "Well Red's for danger, if you please, sir But don't switch it on for me, sir 'Cause Heaven will protect an honest gel!"
Optional second verse chorus (or first chorus of third verse if three verses are used)
Heaven will protect an honest gel That night I got a job at some hotel But the chef was most improper For he sat me on the copper And said "Kiss me or I'll boil you, little Nell" But I slapped him on the face---and in I fell And I came up for the third time with a yell "In the soup I'm going to simmer But I'll come out clean and slimmer For Heaven will protect an honest gel!"
I wandered round Li-cester Square from six o'clock till nine But no millionaire came tempting me to stray "If he does", I thought, "I'll let him take me to the Ritz to dine Then I'll gollop up his tripe and run away" Eeh by gum! I did feel hungry! Eeh! I hadn't had a bite Since my bit of bread and dripping, and I knew that Ma was right---for
Heaven will protect an honest gel Next day I pawned my shawl in Camberwell Then my skirt and blouse, I sold 'em And went tramping back to Oldham When a fortnight passed, then I rang at the bell "Eeh, but Mother dear," I said, "it's little Nell I have lost my sole---my uppers too, as well--- And I've walked home in my undies But I'll tell my Class on Sundays That Heaven will protect an honest gel!"

Wer Liebe Lebt First performance by: Michelle - 2001
Sommersonnenschein, der in dein Zimmer fällt Hell und warm, dich umarmt Und der Schattenblick, der deine Tage trübt Wird auf einmal wieder klar
Feuer wird aus Eis, wenn dich ihr Zauber leise berührt Und ein grauer Tag strahlt mit einem Mal Und du hörst die Melodie voll Gefühl und voll Poesie
Wer Liebe lebt, wird unsterblich sein Wer Liebe lebt, ist niemals allein Such sie an jedem neuen Tag
Mal lächelt sie dich an Und wird ein Leben lang nah dir stehen Mmm... mal liegt das ganze Glück in einem Augenblick Und du suchst die Melodie voll Gefühl und voll Poesie
To live for love means you'll never die To live for love for all of your life You'll see forever's here to stay
You'll see forever's here to stay Forever's here to stay
Have A Word Composer(s): Ian Dury; Gallagher; Rhys-Jones Performer(s): Ian Dury
Gotta sign the rent book Gotta do the laundry Then there's the electric The water and the gas Haven't stopped moaning Since we had the phone in The television rental Another bloody hass
Go up to the top of a very high mountain Go up to the top of a fresh air hill You can never stop when the money is counting Worry till you drop, till you pay your bills
Got a rotten head-ache Ready for a breakdown The pressure of the pressure Is more than I can bare The awfulness is spreading It's really done my head in I think I've been selected For more than my fair share
Go into the heart of the fresh air valley Go and have a drink from the mountain stream Go and have a word before you go doolally Have a Dicky Bird with your self-esteem
Putting pen to paper Applying for a loan Ain't got no collateral Nor's a cat in hell The bailiff's on the knocker I'm going off my rocker And as regards contentment I haven't had a smell
Go up to the top of a very high mountain Go up to the top of a fresh air hill You can never stop when the money is counting Working till you drop, till you pay your bills
Go into the heart of the fresh air valley Go and have a drink from the mountain stream Go and have a word before you go doolally Have a Dicky Bird with your self-esteem
Go up to the top of a very high mountain Go up to the top of a fresh air hill You can never stop when the money is counting Worry till you drop, till you pay your bills
Go into the heart of the fresh air valley Go and have a drink from the mountain stream Go and have a word before you go doolally Have a Dicky Bird with your self-esteem

Estoy sintiendo tu perfume embriagador Y tus palabras susurrar a media voz Y soy feliz al comprender Que está llamando a mi puerta el amor Por eso mi mundo es Amanecer de un nuevo sol Intensamente estoy viviendo la emoción Que ha desbordado el volcán de tu ilusión Y al escuchar tu corazón Entre mis brazos lo he fundido con mi amor Por eso hoy... Nosotros somos el milagro del amor Que ha de vivir eternamente entre los dos Y al manantial de la ilusión Del que bebemos solamente tú y yo
Heaven Only Knows Composer(s): Paul Kennerley Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
Every night it's the same I feel your heart turn cold as rain And know that you'll be gone again I hear the front door close You say you got to go downtown I guess there's someone else you've found So why you're still coming round Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows
I've heard it said that talk is cheap But still your words they cut so deep Lay me crying in my sleep And the pain just grows I don't know who's right or wrong But all we had is dead and gone So why you keep me hanging on Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows
I'm going to turn and walk away There's nothing left for me to say It wouldn't change things anyway Though, I suppose The love I gave was always true Well, I don't know what else to do And how I'll ever get over you Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows
