Speak To The Sky Composer(s): Rick Springfield Performer(s): Rick Springfield; Judith Durham
Speak to the sky when ever things go wrong and you know you're not talkin' to the air, to the air and the world will look better from up there
Speak to the sky 'cause things can get ya down and you know when you're talkin' to the Lord, to the Lord the world will look better than before
And if I stumble and it seems that I am blind or if the road I'm on seems awful hard to find and though my conversation doesn't always rhyme I always try to find some time to .......
Speak to the sky and tell you how I feel and to know sometimes what I say ain't right It's all right 'cause I speak to the sky every night
And if I stumble and it seems that I am blind or if the road I'm on seems awful hard to find and though my conversation doesn't always rhyme I always try to find some time to .......
Speak to the sky and tell you how I feel and to know sometimes what I say ain't right It's all right 'cause I speak to the sky every night
Speak to the sky when ever things go wrong and you know you're not talkin' to the air, to the air and the world will look better from up there
Heavy Horses Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust An October's day, towards evening Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough Salt on a deep chest seasoning Last of the line at an honest day's toil Turning the deep sod under Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone Flies at the nostrils plunder
The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie with the Shire on his feathers floating Hauling soft timber into the dusk to bed on a warm straw coating
Heavy Horses, move the land under me Behind the plough gliding --- slipping and sliding free Now you're down to the few And there's no work to do The tractor's on its way
Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed to keep the old line going And we'll stand you abreast at the back of the wood behind the young trees growing To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth and your eighteen hands at the shoulder And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry and the nights are seen to draw colder They'll beg for your strength, your gentle power your noble grace and your bearing And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls in the wake of the deep plough, sharing
Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill Up into the cold wind facing In stiff battle harness, chained to the world Against the low sun racing Bring me a wheel of oaken wood A rein of polished leather A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky Brewing heavy weather
Bring a song for the evening Clean brass to flash the dawn across these acres glistening like dew on a carpet lawn In these dark towns folk lie sleeping as the heavy horses thunder by to wake the dying city with the living horseman's cry At once the old hands quicken --- bring pick and wisp and curry comb --- thrill to the sound of all the heavy horses coming home

Have I told you lately that I love you Could I tell you once again somehow Have I told, with all my heart and soul how I adore you Well darlin' I'm tellin' you now.

Have I told you lately that I miss you When the stars are shinin' in the sky Have I told you why the nights are long when you're not with me Well darlin' I'm tellin' you now This heart would break in two if you refuse me I'm no good without you anyhow Dear have I told you lately that I love you Well darlin' I'm tellin' you now
Have I told you lately when I'm sleepin' Every dream I dream is you somehow Have I told you who I'd like to share my love forever Well darlin' I'm telling you now This heart would break in two if you refuse me I'm no good without you anyhow Dear have I told you lately that I love you Well darlin' I'm tellin' you now
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

Heaven Sent You, I Know Composer(s): Vernon Bullock; Sylvia Moy; William "Mickey" Stevenson Performer(s): Marvin Gaye
(Backup singers: Heaven must have sent you, I know)
Her: Every night I say a prayer Before I go to sleep Suddenly you were there Your face so fine, your voice so sweet In these arms of mine I found you just in time In this turn of the world I was a lost and lonely girl But then a miracle happened; Heaven must have sent you, I know (Yes I know) I know (yes I know)
Him: Funny how my empty heart Used to feel like a heavy load Suddenly you were there Like a friend on a lonesome road Right into these arms of mine I found you, I found you just in time 'Cause I was a lonely man Holding out my helpless hand Then a miracle happened Heaven must have sent you, I know (Yes I know)
Both: Our time is here now Now matter how the world is around In your arms I find Some kind of love and peace of mind 'Cause a miracle happened; Heaven must have sent you, I know (Yes I know)
