Space Truckin' Composer(s): Roger Glover - Ritchie Blackmore - Ian Gillan - Jon Lord - Ian Paice First release by: Deep Purple - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
We had a lot of luck on Venus We always had a ball on Mars Meeting all the groovey people We've rocked the Milky Way so far We danced around with Borealice We're space truckin' round the the stars Come on let's go Space Truckin'
Remember when we did the moonshot And Pony Trekker led the way We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop And everynaut would dance and sway We got music in our solar system We're space truckin' round the stars Come on let's go Space Truckin'
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)

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
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
