Spam ((Adapted from: Stand - 1988 (by R.E.M.)) Composer(s): Bill Berry - Peter Buck - Mike Mills - Michael Stipe Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1989
Spam in the place where I live (ham and pork) Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy) Spam in my luchbox at work (it's the best) Really makes a darn good sandwhich any way you slice it at all
If you're running low, go to the store Carry some money to help you buy more The tab is there to open the can The can is there to hold in the spam
Oh, spam on the table at home (ham and pork) Think about selection, are there different flavors now (let's eat) Spam in my office at work (it's the best) Think about the stuff its made from, wonder if it's mystery of meat
If you need a spoon, keep one around Carry a thermose to help wash it down Now, if there's some left, don't just throw it out Use it for spackle or bathroom grout, now
Spam in my pantry at home (have some more) Think of expiration, better read the lable (oh boy) Spam breakfast, dinner, or lunch (it's the best) Think about how it's been precooked, wonder if I'll just eat it cold
Now, once you start in, you can't put it down Don't leave it sitting or it'll turn brown The key is going to open the tin The tin is there to keep the spam in
Oh, spam (spam) Ham and pork Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy) Spam (spam) It's the best Really makes a darn good sandwich any way you slice it
Spam in the place where I live (have some more) Think about addiction, wonder if I'm a junkie now (let's eat) Spam in the place where I work (you're obsessed) Think about the way it's processed, wonder if it's some kind of meat
Spam in the back of my car (ham and pork) Spam any place that you are (ham and pork) The tab is there to open the can (spam any place that you are) (ham and pork) The can is there to hold in the spam (spam any place that you are) (ham and pork)

He's a spacer, a star chaser A spacer
He's a ladies man Always greets with a kiss on the hand He protects us all At the ready to answer a call In his own special way he is gentle and kind Oppression he hates Love in his eyes My heart skips a beat when I'm by his side
He's a spacer, a star chaser A spacer He's a spacer, a star chaser A spacer
In our galaxy You can't trust ev'ryone that you meet I'm so lucky He's the only one I'll ever need He will blast off tonight He puts his life on the line ev'rytime he's in flight A man you can't trace But our love will last beyond time and space
He's a spacer, a star chaser A spacer
He's a spacer, a star chaser A spacer He's a spacer, a star chaser A spacer
Heart On The Street Composer(s): Tom Gray Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band
I lay dreamin' Electronic healer Plugged in the groove Not a thought in my head Oh, you shook me away girl Remember words that you said Have a taste of another kind of fruit boy Why not make all your dreams come all real It's easy just keep your eyes open Put your shoulder to the wheel It's not my feet It's just a heart on the street
Blue, Black and White Can't we get anything right What's the matter with you What's the matter with me It's just my heart on the street
I know, I know I'm just a John to your TV I know, I know I'm just a radio Joe But, pull me out the socket And away we go It's not my feet It's just a heart on the street
Blue, Black and White Can't we get anything right What's the matter with you What's the matter with me It's just my heart on the street
Blue, Black and White Can't we get anything right What's the matter with you What's the matter with me It's just my heart on the street
Blue, Black and White Can't we get anything right What's the matter with you What's the matter with me It's just my heart on the street
Hard To Get Composer(s): Jack Segal Performer(s): Gisele MacKenzie
When they were hard to get You wanted my kisses When first we met How you wanted my kisses They were hard to get Till I was sure your love was true Then I gave you all my heart And all my kisses too
I wish that I'd been smart And never adored you You broke my heart Easy kisses just bored you But the day will come When you will find to your regret A love as true as mine Is hard to get
I wish that I'd been smart And never adored you You broke my heart Easy kisses just bored you But the day will come When you will find to your regret A love as true as mine Is hard to get

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

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
