St. Stephen
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Phil Lesh - Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead
and multiple other artists



Saint Stephen with a rose
in and out of the garden he goes
country garland in the wind and the rain
wherever he goes the people all complain

Stephen prospered in his time
well he may and he may decline
Did it matter, does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

Wishing well with a golden bell
bucket hanging clear to hell
hell halfway twixt now and then
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again

Lady finger, dipped in moonlight
writing "What for?" across the morning sky
Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer
darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye

Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow
what a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned
several seasons with their treasons
wrapped the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own

Did he doubt or did he try?
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye
talk about your plenty, talk about your ills
one man gathers what another man spills

Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain
seashore walk by the suds and the foam
been there so long, he's got to calling it home

Fortune comes a calling, calliope woman
spinning that curious sense of your own
Can you answer, "Yes I can"?
but what would be the answer to the answer-man?

High green chilly winds and windy vines 
in loops around the twisted shafts of lavender, they're crawling to the sun

Underfoot the ground is patched 
with arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita, stark and shiny in the breeze

Wonder who will water all the children of the garden 
when they sigh about the barren lack of rain and droop so hungry neath the sky

William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch 
no furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before

Here We Go Again
Composer(s): Paul Cook; Steve Jones
Performer(s): The Sex Pistols



Well I´ve seen you once or twice
And I think you´re rather nice
Tell me what is your name
And will you come again

How far can you spit
Is your voice like grit
Might seem out of tune
But you´ll love one day soon

Here we go here we go again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go I just cannot pretend
Here we go we´re off again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go I just cannot pretend
Here we go we´re off again

Stop waisting my time
Get off of my line
What do you wanna ask
The sun shines out my ass

Well I was never wrong
I wrote all the songs
The same old motor runs
I ain´t no rolling stone

For Real
Composer(s): Gökhan Özoguz - Hakan Özoguz
First performance by: Athena - 2004



Oh... come on up, come on up, come on up now
What you doin', what you waitin' for?
Oh... it's time to push it, break it, rush it
Don't ever let life pass you by
 
All I know is you don't want to be part of the crowd
Realise yourself
 
You say it but don't feel it
What you sayin' has no meanin'
Don't hide your soul
For real, I'm for real
Come on up
 
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you up
 
Please, please, no questions, no answers
No more running around in circles
Are you in? Are you out?
Do you know your way out?
Let me take you up in the sky
 
For real, I'm for real
Come on up
 
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you up
 
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you...
 
Come on, come on
Risin' up now, risin' up now

Here We Go Again 
Composer(s): Russell Steagall; Donnie Lanier
Performer(s): Ray Charles



Here we go again
She's back in town again
I'll take her back again 
One more time 
Here we go again
The phone will ring again
I'll be her fool again
One more time

I've been there before
And I'll try it again
But any fool knows
That there's no way to win
Here we go again
She'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again
One more time

Blacker than midnight, teeth lak flags of truce

About a crap game, he knows a pow'ful lot
but when worktime comes, he's on de dot
Gwine to ask him for a cold ten-spot
what it takes to git it, he's cert'nly got

Extra choruses:
A black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track 
said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track
But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack

Lawd, a blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town 
I said blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town
But a red-headed woman makes a boy slap his papa down

Oh, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, I said ashes to ashes and dust to dust
if my blues don't get you, my jazzing must

Here Till Here Is There
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): The Incredible Stringband



Where will you go 
When days grow short and winds grow cold 
And green leaves are shaken 
There was a road as once I saw 
Wound with bright ivies and trumpeting haws 
Of whitest sand embroidered with flowers 
That very few has taken 

Where will you stay 
While rivers run and days eat days 
And white stars are pining 
In hopes more true in hearts more gay 
In love that is stronger and brighter than day 
In hands that heal in thoughts that play 
In all eyes shining 

Why do we talk of go and stay? 
We will all be here till here is there!

Stronger Every Minute
Composer(s): Mike Connaris
First performance by: Lisa Andreas - 2004



No matter where I am
I'm always thinking of you
It may be hard, but I need you to understand
That I don't often say what I feel
But now this is straight from my heart
 
My love grows stronger every minute
And it won't ever die
I want you to stay with me
Not just this day, but for all my life
 
Now, when I look into your eyes
I can tell there's something wrong
You're holding back the tears
Couldn't bare to lose you now
So I will make my feelings clear
 
My love grows stronger every minute
And it won't ever die
You must believe I'll always be there
For you, all my life
 
Oh... please stay
Mmm...
 
My love grows stronger every minute
And it won't ever die
I want you to stay with me
Not just this day, but for all my life
 
Oh... please stay

Here She Comes Now
Composer(s): John Cale; Sterling Morrison;
Lou Reed; Maureen Tucker
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground;
and various other artists



Here she comes now
Gone gone gone
Ready ready ready
Got my eyes wide open

Ever since I was on cripples Monday
Got my eyeballs on my knees
After hours with mad Mary Williams
She never understood a word from me

I know that she cares about me
I heard her call my name
And I know she's long dead and gone
Still it ain't the same

When I wake up in the morning
I heard her call my name
I know she's dead and gone
I heard her call my name

And I felt my mind split open

St. Judy's Comet

Covered by multiple other artists



Little sleepy boy 
Do you know what time it is? 
Well the hour of your bedtime’s 
Long been past 
And though I know you’re fighting it 
I can tell when you rub your eyes 
You’re fading fast 
Fading fast 
 
Won’t you run come see St. Judy’s Comet 
Roll across the skies 
And leave a spray of diamonds 
In its wake 
I long to see St. Judy’s Comet 
Sparkle in your eyes 
When you awake 
 
Little boy 
Won’t you lay your body down 
Little boy 
Won’t you close your weary eyes 
Ain’t nothing flashing but the fireflies 
 
Well I sang it once 
And I sang it twice 
I’m going to sing it three times more 
Going to stay ‘til your resistance 
Is overcome 
‘Cause if I can’t sing my boy to sleep 
well it makes your famous daddy 
look so dumb 
 
Won’t you run come see St. Judy’s Comet 
Roll across the skies 
And leave a spray of diamonds 
In its wake 
I long to see St. Judy’s Comet 
Sparkle in your eyes 
When you awake 
 
Little boy, little boy 
Won’t you lay your body down 
Little boy, little boy 
Won’t you close your weary eyes 
Ain’t nothing flashing but the fireflies 
 
Oo Little sleepy boy 
Do you know what time it is? 
Well the hour of your bedtime’s 
Long been past 
Though I know you’re fighting it 
I can tell when you rub your eyes 
That you’re fading fast

Xote Das Meninas
Composer(s): Zé Dantas - Luiz Gonzaga
Performer(s): Marco Pereira; Hamilton de Holanda



Mandacaru, quando flora 
Na seca 
É o sinal que a chuva chega no 
Sertão 
Toda menina que enjoa da 
Boneca 
É sinal que o amor 
Já chegou no coração 

Meia comprida, não quer mais 
Sapato baixo 
Vestido bem cintado

Não quer mais vestir timão 

Ela só quer, só pensa em 
Namorar 
Ela só quer, só pensa em 
Namorar 

De manhã cedo já tá pintada 
Só vive suspirando 
Sonhando acordada 
O pai leva ao doutô 
A filha adoentada 
Não come nem estuda, 
Não dorme, não quer nada 

Ela só quer, só pensa em 
Namorar 
Ela só quer, só pensa em 
Namorar 
Mas o doutô nem examina 
Chamando o pai de lado 
Lhe diz logo em surdina 
Que o mal é da idade 
Que pra tal menina 
Não há um só remédio 
Em toda medicina 

Ela só quer, só pensa em 
Namorar 
Ela só quer, só pensa em 
Namorar

Hold On To Our Love
Composer(s): Gary Miller - Tim Woodcock
First performance by: James Fox - 2004



Maybe I've been foolish letting you down
I've been a little selfish not being around
But if I lost you, I'd be helpless inside
Gotta hold on to our love tonight
 
'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in
And I feel so complete by your side
It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life
We gotta hold on to our love tonight
 
I know that you've been hurting
The pain's in your eyes
I promise you I'm changing, I feel it inside
I don't know what I would do if it all passes by
We gotta hold on to our love tonight
 
'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in
And I feel so complete by your side
It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life
We gotta hold on to our love tonight
 
Some things in life we should treasure
When you find love, never let it go
Because now I realise and I want you to know
 
'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in
And I feel so complete by your side
It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life
We gotta hold on to our love tonight
 
'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in
And I feel so complete by your side
It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life
We gotta hold on to our love tonight
We gotta hold on to our love tonight

X-Offender
Composer(s): Debbie Harry - Gary Valentine
First release by: Blondie - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled
I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights, and how they were
They were filled with
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh
Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
Public defender
You had to admit
You wanted the love of a sex offender
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh
My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there
With your badge and rubber boots
I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you

I went down to the St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
But she'll never find a sweet man like me

When I die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
I wanna a boxback coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know that I died standing flat

Xanadú

Aquí jamás se ha acostado el sol
Y el tiempo da marcha atrás
Viviendo en Xanadú

Aquí podrás bailar sobre el mar
Llueve y jamás te mojas
Viviendo en Xanadú

Los trenes vuelan como los pájaros, es mágico
Nadan las piedras, bailan las máquinas fantásticas

Xanadú, Xanadú
Quédate aquí en Xanadú
Xanadú, Xanadú
Quédate aquí en Xanadú

Dime tú si has visto un sitio así como Xanadu

Aquí las calles son de cristal
Y el viento baila en patines
Viviendo en Xanadú

Aquí no se necesita hablar
Aqui todo se comprende
Viviendo en Xanadu

Los coches nunca llevan matrículas ridículas
Y las hormigas tocan su armónica minúscula

Xanadú, Xanadú
Quédate aquí en Xanadú
Xanadú, Xanadú
Quédate aquí en Xanadú

Quédate aquí
Serás feliz en Xanadú

Quédate aquí
Serás feliz en Xanadú

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine for you, Xanadu
The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu, Xanadu

When You Are Old And Gray
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer



Since I still appreciate you let's find love while we may 
because I know I'll hate you when you are old and gray
So say you love me here and now, I'll make the most of that
Say you love and trust me for I know you'll disgust me 
when you're old and getting fat

An awful debility a lessened utility a loss of mobility is a strong possibility
In all probability I'll lose my virility and you your fertility and desirability
And this liability of total sterility will lead to hostility and sense of futility
So let's act with agility while we still have facility 
for we'll soon reach senility and lose the ability

Your teeth will start to go dear, your waist will start to spread
in twenty years of so dear I'll wish that you were dead
I'll never love you then at all the way I do today 
So please remember when I leave in December
I told you so in May

In the place my wonder comes from
there I find you
your face shines in my sky

In your heart where the world comes from
there you will find me
your eyes dance in my mind

Come with me

we will sway among the yellow grass'
when you be beside me
I am real

Though my eyes be closed forever
still I would find you

when you be beside me
I am real

In the place my wonder comes from

Here It Comes Again

Performer(s): The Fortunes



When I see that girl go walking by
I know a boy shouldn't cry
Here it comes again, that feeling
Here it comes again

When I see her look into his eyes
No matter how I try
Here it comes again, that feeling
Here it comes again

I find I'm cry-y-y-y-in over you
I know it's nothing to do-o-o-o-
Now I'm on my own, I walk alone
A heart without a home
Here it comes again, that feeling
Here it comes again

When love walked out a fire went out inside of me
It wouldn't hide those tears inside of me

Then there's nothing left for me to say
You no, you no, you no you broke my heart
Here it comes again, that feeling
Here it comes again

I find I'm cry-y-y-y-in over you
I know it's nothing to do-o-o-o-
I know it's not the thing to do

Now I'm on my own, I walk alone
A heart without a home
Here it comes again, that feeling
Here it comes again
Here it comes again, that feeling
Here it comes again
Here it comes again, that feeling
Here it comes again
