My Star Composer(s): Reynard Cowper First performance by: Brainstorm - 2000
My friends gonna call me: "Hey dreamer, the stars you are watching are so far" Tonight, I know, I will get there by plane or by bus - right to my star Pretend there are things you just don't know in spite someone's told you are so cute You have to ask and I will show the snow in the summer or so, so
If my star would fall or disappear at all I will follow my star till the end of my days And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways And if you're gonna join me, I'll be your guide Baby, never say never, be my runaway-bride
My friends gonna tell me: "Just calm down, the clouds you are walking are so high" This is my chance, and I'll invite all the dreamers and lovers to fly, fly I'm back from the future, life goes on, but still, I remember my promise You have to ask and I will show the snow in the summer or so, so
If my star would fall or disappear at all I will follow my star till the end of my days And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways And if you're gonna join me, I'll be your guide Baby, never say never, be my runaway-bride, yeah
My runaway-bride, hey hey hey... hey yeah...
If my star would fall or disappear at all I will follow my star till the end of my days And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways And if you're gonna join me, I'll be your guide Baby, never say never, be my runaway-bride
Heartbeat Composer(s): J. Stevens Performer(s): Ruby Murray
Hear it, hear it, hear my heartbeat Pounding, pounding like a drum Louder, louder, goes my heartbeat As nearer, and nearer, and nearer you come So hurry, hurry, says my heartbeat Take me, touch me, make me thrill Faster, faster, goes my heartbeat I try but I cant keep it still
They say when a heart beats too wildly That it breaks like a toy balloon But darling, thats putting it mildly Compared to what will happen to me If something doesnt happen soon
Listen, listen, to my heartbeat Crying, sighing, breathlessly Tell it, tell it, tell my heartbeat That your heart beats for me
Listen, listen, to my heartbeat Crying, sighing, breathlessly Tell it, tell it, tell my heartbeat That your heart beats for me
Harlequin Composer(s): Garry Broker Performer(s): The Hollies
Harlequin has lost his crown Look they say "a broken clown" Yesterday he ruled the world Now he's crying to be heard Yesterday he called the tune Now he's howling at the moon Harlequin has broken down Harlequin, Harlequin has lost his crown
Harlequin has broken loose Slipped the knot and skipped the noose Can those bloodhounds find his trail? Will they send him back to jail? Can those bloodhounds find his scent? Will they find out where he went? Harlequin cannot be found Harlequin, Harlequin has gone to ground
Harlequin is back on top Now his fame will never stop See him shown from coast to coast He's the one they love the most See them slap him on the back How they love his every crack Harlequin we knew you'd do it Harlequin, Harlequin
Spanish Boots Composer(s): Jeff Beck - Rod Stewart - Ron Wood First release by: Jeff Beck - 1969
I used to work and take a salary In a hole up near a foundry But it did not take me too long To get my boots on a "So Long!" Long Spanish boots on a "So Long!"
I took a day job in Bethlehem I nearly threw in the towel then But it did not take me too long To get my boots on a "So Long!" High Spanish boots on a "So Long!" Dig it
I took a Spanish haberdashery Restored with 15th century tapestry But oh, Mr. Nesbitt got the best of me So I strapped on my boots and said "So Long!" Laced up my high boots and "So Long!" Goodbye
... am on a job you see 'Cause my old boots they mean too much to me Leather boots are just a mystery Put on my boots and said "So Long!" High Spanish boots on and "So Long!" Put on my boots and said "So Long!"
Those old Spanish boots Put on my boots and said "So Long!" High spanish boots
Heartbeat Composer(s): Bobby Montgomery; Norman Petty Performer(s): Buddy Holly
Heartbeat why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat why does a love kiss stay in my memory? Pitity-pat, I know that new love thrills me I know that true love will be
Heartbeat why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine? Heartbeat why do you flip then give me a skip beat sign? Pitity-pat, and sing to me love stories And bring to me love's glory

Laggiù nell'harlem di Spagna C'è una rosa molto rara E un fiore strano assai Il sol non vede mai Fiorisce solo se la luna corre in ciel ed ogni stella brilla E cresce nella via ma dolcissima Delicata nel chiaro Di luna
Laggiù nell'Harlem di Spagna C'è una rosa molto rara Son neri gli occhi suoi Che ruban l'anima E san bruciare con il fuoco dell'amor chi osi darle Un becio Nessun la puo comprar Per vedela sbocciar Nel suo Giardino
La, la, la...
Stasera l'Harlem di Spagna Ha una rosa innamorata Ho ritrovato in te Un sogno splendido E la mia bocca stà narrandoti tesor la vera storia mia Stanotte sol per te Quel fior sboccierà E di te sarà la luna
A Little Bit Composer(s): Luca Genta - Gerrit aan 't Goor First performance by: Nina Åström - 2000
I'm in love with the place where I was born Where I lived my life in harmony with every new dawn I'm in love with the people that I know With whom I share my tears of laughter, the times I feel low
It's a little bit of love, it's a little love I need To keep me going, keep me smiling It's love that makes me breathe It may be Finland, France or Spain Berlin, Prague or Rome It's the place where you live Where your heart feels at home
There's a world that is bigger than my own Where they strive to try and unify, to dull monotone Every change that really matters comes from within When in love we stand together through thick and thin
It's a little bit of love, it's a little love we need To keep us going, keep us smiling It's love that makes us breathe It may be Amsterdam or Bern Sweden or U.K. Where your heart is at home You will feel okay
(It's a little bit of love), it's a little love we need To keep us going, keep us smiling It's love that makes us breathe It's a little bit of love, it's a little love we need To keep us going, keep us smiling It is love that makes us breathe
To keep us going, keep us smiling It is love that makes us breathe

Spanish songs in Andalucia The shooting sites in the days of '39 Oh, please, leave the vendanna open Fredrico Lorca is dead and gone Bullet holes in the cemetery walls The black cars of the Guardia Civil Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight

Spanish weeks in my disco casino The freedom fighters died upon the hill They sang the red flag They wore the black one But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill Back home the buses went up in flashes The Irish tomb was drenched in blood Spanish bombs shatter the hotels My senorita's rose was nipped in the bud
Spanish bombs, yo tequierro y finito Yote querda, oh mi corazon Spanish bombs, yo te quierro y finito Yo te querda, oh mi corazon

A nocturne for the blues played on a broken heart string It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me Dark shadows in the rain, a telephone that won't ring Just memories remain of lovers that used to be I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun When I was the one one and only The music and lights, those wonderful nights The morning is the time we'd kiss The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun They're over and done, and I'm lonely Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak inside The gleam - ing spark is gone, the light went dark This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to me

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)

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 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
