When Spirits Are Calling My Name Composer(s): Peter Dahl - Linda Jansson - Thomas Holmstrand First performance by: Roger Pontare - 2000
I am caught in a trap, there is no turning back, I'm finally facin' the fear The sky is on fire, and up with the flames, my hope and my dreams disappear So bring me the power, I'll be the king of the land and the seas Show me the way to go, let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son with freedom in my heart Life will never be the same when spirits are calling my name My name...
Let me out of the darkness, the shadow of pain, and I'm keepin' my promise to you My people, my spirit, the home of my heart - you're with me wherever I go So bring me the power, I'll be the king of the land and the seas I've got a way to go, let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son with freedom in my heart Life will never be the same when spirits are calling my name My name...
So bring me the power, I'll be the king of the land and the seas I've got a way to go, let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son with freedom in my home Life will never be the same when spirits are calling my name

Heartaches Heartaches My loving you meant only heartaches Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me I can't believe it's just a burning memory Heartaches Heartaches What does it matter how my heart breaks? I should be happy with someone new But my heart aches for you
Harden My Heart Composer(s): Marvin Ross Performer(s): Quarterflash; and various other artists
Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain I swear I'll never, ever wait again You gave me your word..but words for you are lies
Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go But it's time to let you know....oh...
Chorus: I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears I'm gonna turn...and...leave you here.....
All of my life I've been waitin' in the rain I've been waiting for a feeling...that never, ever came It feels so close, but always disappears....
Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue... But it's time you got the news......oooo....
Repeat Chorus
I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears Harden my heart...harden my heart... swallow my tears I'm gonna harden my heart....
Heartache Tonight Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Don Henley; Bob Seger; J.D. Souther Performer(s): The Eagles; and various other artists
Somebody's gonna hurt someone Before the night is through Somebody's gonna come undone There's nothin' we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody If it takes all night Everybody wants to take a little chance And make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know Lord, I know
Some people like to stay out late Some folks can't hold out that long But nobody wants to go home now There's too much goin' on
This night is gonna last forever Last all, last all summer long Sometimes before the sun comes up The radio is gonna play that song
There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know Lord, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight The moon's shinin' bright So turn out the light And we'll get it right There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know
Somebody's gonna hurt someone (somebody) Before the night is through Somebody's gonna come undone There's nothin' we can do (everybody)
Everybody wants to touch somebody If it takes all night Everybody wants to take a little chance And make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know Let's go
We can beat around the bushes We can get down to the bone We can leave it in the parkin' lot But either way there's gonna be a - Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know Oh, I know There'll be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know
Hard Core Poetry Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter Performer(s): Tavares; The 5th Dimension
It depends on who is looking at the tenement walls Whether he's coming home or passing through You can walk the streets and find so much to criticize But that would be the easy thing to do 'Coz there's beauty in the concrete If you see it with your heart The sidewalks only hurt you If you hate them from the start
This is a song not necessarily sweet I'll pass it on to folks that I never will meet And if my words don't make history Just call it hardcore poetry
You can blame the world if troubles come And knock at your door Let your weakness cut you down to size If you find some fault with everything surrounding you Maybe it's your narrow-minded eyes 'Coz there's music in the city If your ear is to the ground Only nonbelievers never hear a single sound
This is a song not necessarily sweet I'll pass it on to folks that I never will meet And if my words don't make history Just call it hardcore poetry
La Vita Cos'è First performance by: Jane Bogaert - 2000
Mi sveglio al mattino Il caffè ancora caldo di ieri La pioggia sulla finestra Che legge nei miei pensieri
Mi chiedo dove sei amore lontano Il telefono non ha suonato Quel tuo sorriso mi fa impazzire Non posso più aspettare
So che non era facile, il cuore mio così fragile Si accende in un momento e vola via con il vento Mi sento una piccola onda nel mare, azzurro dell'amore Adesso nei miei giorni ci sei tu
La vita cos'è? La vita dov'è? Una spina nel cuore che mi crea dolore Se tu non ci sei
La vita dov'è? La vita cos'è? Un palco d'amore ma l'applauso non c'é Se tu non ci sei
Dividi con me il mondo, fammi vivere ogni giorno Per restare accesa come la luce di una stella Vivere un amore nel cielo, non c'è una cosa più bella Stringimi più forte, baciami
La vita cos'è? La vita dov'è? Una spina nel cuore che mi crea dolore Se tu non ci sei
La vita dov'è? la vita cos'è? Un palco d'amore ma l'applauso non c'é Se tu non ci sei
Heartache No. 9 Composer(s): David Grant; Evan Rogers; Carl Sturken Performer(s): Hot Chocolate; Pauli Carman
Heartache number nine - heartache number nine
You look like a dream but it's obscence the way you play your game You treat them like a number without a name Lovers used their hearts abused I'm gone without a trace Don't you know it's time to mend your ways?
Don't wanna be heartache number nine I'm not gonna play that part I'm gonna be the one to change your mind
You're never gonna break my heart
When I'm down I'll be the only one
I'll never be known as heartache number nine One to three were way before me
and four was a friend of mine They fail for your lies time after time Five and six were here and gone they didn't last too long
And seven and eight were next in line
Don't wanna be heartache number nine
It's been eight times that love's walked in and out of your life
But it's all in the past 'cause I'm here to stay oh baby
Heartache number nine - heartache number nine When I'm down I'll be the only one
I'll never be known as heartache number nine
Heartache number nine Don't wanna be heartache number nine - heartache number nine
