Life Composer(s): Shirl Milete Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Somewhere out in empty space Long before the human race Something stirred A vast and timeless source began Intelligence was born and then There was the World Powers filled the Universe Matter formed and broke the curse Of nothingness Love became an ageless soul Nature reached her highest goal And breathed the breath of life Everlasting life
Well, creatures come from out of sight Daylight came from in the night And all was good Life became a masterplan Love produced a perfect man That understood The image of the Maker's word Worshipped Him with all he had But then one day From in the depths an evil seed Grew and manufactured greed That changed the way of life Everlasting life
Oh, the loving power looked and saw Inside the heart of man a flaw Begin to grow Well, the fires of Hell began to burn And so He sent his chosen Son To let us know That love had surely made us all And hate would surely make us fall So from the Cross Well, he showed the world that dreadful day That love could be the only way Or all is lost of life Everlasting life For life is love And love is life

You're a teaser and I've found you're fond of playing hard to get Still you've let me feel we'd make it ever since the day we met I can't stand it any longer, don't know what you're waiting for So I've come to get what's mine behind your barricaded door
Here for your love so please don't hinder me Unbolt your door now, don't be a bore now Here for your love so please don't hinder me Please let me in, 'cause once I'm in you're in heaven I promise you, mmm, you've got it coming to you I'm here for your love so please don't hinder me Once I get in you'll see just why I'm here

Squid Jiggin' Ground Composer(s): Art Scammell Performer(s): Hank Snow; Stompin' Tom Connors; Schooner Fare
Oh, this is the place where the fishermen gather In oilskins and boots and Cape Anns battened down All sizes of figures with squid lines and jiggers They congregate here on the squid jigging ground Some are working their jiggers while others are yarning There's some standing up and there's more lying down While all kinds of fun, jokes and tricks are begun As they wait for the squid on the squid jigging ground
There's men of all ages and boys in the bargain There's old Billy Cave and there's young Raymond Brown There's a red ranting Tory out here in a dory A-running down Squires on the squid jigging ground
There's men from the Harbour, there's men from the Tickle In all kinds of motorboats, green, grey and brown Right yonder there's Bobby and with him is Noddy He's chawing hard tack on the squid jigging ground
Oh, God bless my sou'wester, there's Skipper John Chaffey He's the best hand at squid jigging here, I'll be bound Hello, what's the row? Why he's jigging one now It's the very first squid on the squid jigging ground
Now, the man with the whiskers is old Jacob Steele He's getting well up but he's still pretty sound While Uncle Bob Hawkins wears six pairs of stockings Whenever he's out on the squid jigging ground
Holy smoke! What a scuffle, all hands are excited `Tis a wonder to me that there's nobody drowned There's confusion, a bustle, a wonderful hustle They're all jigging squids on the squid jigging ground
Says Bobby, "The squids are on top of the water I just got my jiggers `bout one fathom down But a squid in the boat squirted right down his throat And he's swearing like mad on the squid jigging ground
There's poor Uncle Billy, his whiskers are spattered With spots of the squid juice that's flying around One poor little boy got it right in the eye But they don't give a darn on the squid jigging ground
Now if ever you feel so inclined to go squidding Leave your white shirts and collars behind in the town And if you get cranky without your silk hanky You'd better steer clear of the squid jigging ground
Here For You Composer(s): Chris De Burgh Performer(s): Chris De Burgh
I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry So many wings to help you fly where you are going
And now a plane must take away my child that life has found And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground Sending my love with you tonight
I will be waiting, I will be waiting, here for you, here for you
I don't know where the years have gone Suddenly here, and you have grown It was like only yesterday when you were so young But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally This is the way that it must be, now it is your world
And so a plane must take away my child that time has found And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground Sending my dreams with you tonight
I will be waiting.....I'm trying not to show But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known
I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright Here for you, here for you
Believe Me Composer(s): Maxim Fadeev - Brenda Loring First performance by: Julia Savicheva - 2004
Believe me, I just don't care If you look away or stare If you choose to go or stay Don't believe me, I pray
In my head every day, everywhere oh, no You and I can talk, and I sound colder In my heart, though I say I don't care I just cry and cry on your big shoulder
Believe me, I just don't care If you look away or stare If you choose to go or stay Don't believe me, I pray
Believe me, I just don't care If you look away or stare If you choose to go or stay Don't believe me, I pray
Far away, like the man in the moon, my dear You just wave to me, you're always lying Every face, every voice, every tune Brings you back to me, and I start crying
Believe me, I just don't care If you look away or stare If you choose to go or stay Don't believe me, I pray
Believe me, I just don't care If you look away or stare If you choose to go or stay Don't believe me, I pray

Squank Composer(s): Billy Gibbons - Bill Ham - Dusty Hill Performer(s): ZZ Top
Woman, grab your children, run and hide Don't let it catch up with you You gotta fight it to stay alive and if it gets you, man, you're through
It smells so rotten and rank Well, everybody calls it the squank
It's sick, depressin, gettin' bigger all the time Don't help it any way you can It's grey and brown and sometimes lime and it's spreadin' all over the land
And soon we'll be all breathin' out of tanks if somethin' ain't done about the squank
The meanest thing the world's ever bred by me and you and my kinfold too A monster can't live unless it's fed and it's being fed by me and you And soon it's gonna leave the world blank and we'll all be erased by the squank
Here Comes The Flood German Title: Jetzt Kommt Die Flut Composer(s): Peter Gabriel Performer(s): Peter Gabriel; and various other artists
When the night shows the signals grow on radios All the strange things they come and go, as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide still waiting for the swollen Easter tide There's no point in direction we cannot even choose a side
I took the old track the hollow shoulder, across the waters On the tall cliffs they were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd
Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent and any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
When the flood calls You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash You're a thousand minds, within a flash Don't be afraid to cry at what you see The act is gone, there's only you and me And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be
Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again, the seas are silent and any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
