St. Elmo's Fire Composer(s): Brian Eno First release by: Brian Eno - 1975
Brown Eyes and I were tired We had walked and we had scrambled Through the moors and through the briars Through the endless blue meanders In the blue August moon In the cool August moon
Over the nights and through the fires We went surging down the wires Through the towns and on the highways Through the storms in all their thundering In the blue August moon In the cool August moon
Well we rested in a desert Where the bones were white as teeth, sir And we saw St. Elmo's Fire Splitting ions in the ether In the blue August moon In the cool August moon
Heaven Composer(s): Sveinn Rúnar Sigurðsson - Magnús Þór Sigmundsson First performance by: Jónsi - 2004
I still miss you and it makes me feel blue And I'm lost without those colours of you I can't think straight, I just wanna be Wherever you are when you're not here with me
Blend with my blue, those colours of you Please help me see it through, oh... This journey I must take alone So just blend your colours with my blue
I lay down and cry, and the rivers are dry Oh... to unveil my heart when you kiss me goodbye And when you set sail, fair winds all the way So farewell, that's all I can say
Mmm... blend with my blue, the colours of you Oh... please help me see it through, oh... This journey I must take alone Oh... so just blend your colours with my blue
And I know I'll find my love tonight I can feel you reachin' out I got this feeling deep inside It's in my head, it's in my heart
I know your love tonight And I know you'll be by my side I know you'll help me to see it through Oh... blend your colours with my blue
Here I Am Composer(s): Sylvia Merle Green Performer(s): The Hoppers
On that resurrection morning
when the redeemed are gath'ring in I'll be in that royal number, when they call my name When they all join in and sing, "Alleluia to the King!" I'll cry with a joyful sound, "Lord, here I am"
Chorus: Here I am, here I am! I'm the one the Shepherd left the fold and found There were ninety and nine, but He left the fold to find One little lost lamb, and here I am
When old Gabriel blows the trumpet, and we rise up in the air In less time than a split second, we'll be changed from here to there Where there'll be no grief or pain, perfect peace and joy shall reign Home at last I shall proclaim, "Lord, here I am"
St. Bridget Composer(s): Jerry Herman Performer(s): Jerry Herman; Frankie Michaels
Agnes Gooch: Saint Bridget, deliver us to Beekman Place Away from the wicked and depraved A gray head is peeping through the curtain lace Calling "Come ye inside, where you'll be saved" She's baked him a cherry pie and glazed a ham Her dear arms reach out for his embrace So if you have pity on this poor lost lamb God love you, dear Saint Bridget, deliver us to Bee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eekman Place
Sing with me Patrick, it will keep up your courage!
Agnes and Young Patrick So if you have pity on this poor lost sheep God love you, dear Saint Bridget, deliver us to Bee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eekman Place

You walk away into the sunset You stop, take one last look at me I feel that look, once more I'm warm all over Here I am, here I'll stay

St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast Composer(s): Frank Zappa Performer(s): Frank Zappa
Yes indeed Here we are
At Where I stole the margarine And wheedled on the Bingo cards And blew up the latrine
I saw a handsome parish lady Make her entrance like a queen While she was totally in chenille And her old man was a Marine
As she abused the sausage pattie And said, "Why don't you treat me mean?" At Where I stole the margarine (St. Alfonzo St. Alfonzo St. Alfonzo St. Alfonzo)
Here I Am Composer(s): Craig Wasson Performer(s): Craig Wasson
Uncle Sam Im in Vietnam Its a jungle its a prison But here I am Dreaming of the outside and freedom, planning my get away
Far away from this one ship bay In the south-east tip of Asia Where I lay Dreaming of the outside and freedom, planning my getaway
Weapon drawn I got my wet gear on I'm crawling on my belly near Khe Sahn Dreaming of the outside and freedom planning my getaway
But there is a guard on the inside with a rifle in hand And a guard on the outside on this government land Uncle Sam Im in Vietnam its a jungle its a prison but here I am, here I am...
Life Composer(s): Jovan Jovanov - Ilija Nikolovski First performance by: Toe Proeski - 2004
I saw my ID and it wasn't me It was someone else's identity Why do I need to prove myself And who is the judge of my sanity?
Roaming through my old emotions I find new feelings of misery I bet with my soul to get back the truth Where I will face reality
Life is a book and you gotta read it Life is a story and you gotta tell it Life is a song and you gotta sing it You've got to know how to live it

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

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
