Call Me Composer(s): Andrej Babic First performance by: Feminnem - 2005
Call me
I used to think that we could never make it That million hearts could never beat as one But now, miracle is not so hard to find
There were times when I really doubted If, after stormy weather, always comes the sun But now, I can see the world from a different side, yeah
Singer after singer, remembered Different flags, but nations gathered From the north to the south, all standing side by side
There was laughter and there was crying But after all, I'm not denying I'm so happy to be here, 'cause it's the time of my life
Call me Every time you're feeling lonely Our greatest wish is one and only Sing with me, it's how it should be For the rest of our lives
So won't you call me? We'll reach the very top and nothing less United in the song, that's all it takes Fifty candles on the party cakes For the many years of happiness

United in the song, that's all it takes For the many years of happiness (of happiness) Call me
Hey Little One Composer(s): Dorsey Burnette; Barry de Vorzon Performer(s): J. Frank Wilson; and various other artists
Hey... little one So far from home And so alone
Hey... little one I'm just li-ike you I'm lonely too
The road of life is a long long roa-oad When you walk alo-o-o-one Then I found you And I found a lo-ove A love I've never know-ow-ow-own A love I've never know-own
Hey... Hey, Hey, Hey - little one Don't go away Tell me you'll stay
Hey... Hey, Hey, Hey - little one I'm just like you I'm so-o lo-onely too...
Standing At The Crossroads Of Love Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Eddie Holland - Brian Holland Performer(s): Diana Ross & the Supremes
I'm standing at the crossroads of love I'm standing at the crossroads of love Don't know which way to go Don't know which way to turn Though the love I give is not returned For that boy My heart still yearns
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love 'Cause when I'm with him he mistreats me Runs around and cause me misery But I love him I can't deny And without him I'd surely die It hurts to be with him And it hurts to be without him
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love Just standing at the crossroads of love Don't know which way Don't know which way to go Don't know which way Don't know which way to turn
There's always tears on my pillow 'Cause I'm always in the middle Of heartache and emotion Heartbreak and devotion Loving, caring, when it's despairing Trying to be true Though it makes me blue
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love Just standing at the crossroads of love Don't know which way to turn Don't know which way to turn I'm standing at the crossroads
Hey Little Hen Composer(s): Ralph Butler; Noel Gay Performer(s): Nat Gonella; Chas and Dave; Joe Loss
(Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck) (Spoken) Hey, little hen, how about laying me an egg (Chicken noises to music) Now, listen, cut out the singing I want you to lay me an egg ("Too tired" .in chicken voice) Too tired, nothing Lay me an egg! ("Are you registered with me?" .in chicken voice) Now listen, I don't want to be registered with you, I'll probably pull a feather off you in a minute (Squawk, cluck, cluck, cluck) (Squawk, cluck, cluck, cluck) Now don't get mad, don't get mad
I had a lot of chickens, a large chicken run But owing to conditions I'm now down to one I give her all the tit-bits the dear little thing And just to keep her up to scratch, I go to her and sing
Hey little hen, when, when, when Will you lay me an egg for my tea Hey little hen, when, when, when Will you try to supply one for me Get into your nest Do your little best Get it off your chest I can do the rest Hey little hen, when, when, when Will you lay me an egg for my tea

Chorus:
Baby, don't you know We're leaving early in the mornin So long I don't know We might be back next year Maybe it just might be never Don't you worry 'bout it So long, good to know Your smilin' face was here
This town is boring you to tears Nothing in the world ever happens here It's all right hey lawdy mama, it's all right Don't you know you gotta help Nothing ever happens by itself It's all right hey lawdy mama, it's all right If no one will share the load Go pack your bag for the open road It's all right hey lawdy mama, it's all right Try to find someone like you Hope he'll tell you what to do

Hey Jude French Title: Hey Jules Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles
Hey Jude, don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better Hey Jude, don't be afraid You were made to go out and get her The minute you let her under your skin Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain Don't carry the world upon your shoulders For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder
Hey Jude, don't let me down You have found her, now go and get her Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin You're waiting for someone to perform with And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do The movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey Jude, don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Remember to let her under your skin Then you'll begin to make it Better better better better better better, oh
Stand The Ghetto Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Si tu danses reggae Si tu danses reggae Tu balances reggae Sans défense reggae S'est spécial reggae Infernal reggae Ça commence à cogner Comme un cur régulier
I and I love the island in the sun I and I know when and where I go But it is so hard to feed my kids But it is so hard to stand the ghetto
Tout l'monde danse, tu te traînes Tout l'monde fume et tu bois Downtown, ça enchaîne Dans les rhumbars en bois Quand ça cause le reggae Ça explose reggae C'est le seul reggae Qui déboule reggae
I and I love the island in the sun I and I know when and where I go But it is so hard to feed my kids But it is so hard to stand the ghetto
Derrière les barbelés Trois rangés bien gardées Ils attendent de crever De sortir de braquer Pour le flingue dans ta poche T'es coincé à gun court Jusque-là le reggae Viendra t'réveiller
I and I love the island in the sun I and I know when and where I go But it is so hard to feed my kids But it is so hard to stand the ghetto
Elle est noire et dorée Elle est belle à crever Regarde-la marcher Et danser son reggae Fait trop chaud pour chanter Fait trop soif pour noter Trop beau pour t'expliquer Ce qui s'passe dans l'reggae
I and I love the island in the sun I and I know when and where I go But it is so hard to feed my kids But it is so hard to stand the ghetto

Tu vois Joe Hier je rêvais d'avoir ta peau Mais Joe Je préfère te voir souffrir Et de cette fille, je t'en fais cadeau Allez bonne chance Joe...
Stand Tall Composer(s): Burton Cummings Performer(s): Burton Cummings
Never been this blue Never knew the meaning of a heartache But then again, I've never lost at love before
Somewhere down the road Maybe all these years will find some meaning I just can't think about it now, or live 'em out anymore
Stand tall, don't you fall oh, don't go and do something foolish you're feeling it like everyone, it's silly human pride Stand tall, don't you fall Don't go do something you'll regret later you're feeling it like everyone, it's silly human pride
Never lasted so long Or through so much - or through so many I just can't believe you could throw it all away
Sometimes late at night when there's nothing here except my old piano I'd almost give my hands to make you see my way
Stand tall, don't you fall oh, don't go and do something foolish you're feeling it like everyone, it's silly human pride You got me down on my knees for ya, mama Stand tall, don't you fall Don't go do something you'll regret later you're feeling it like everyone, it's silly human pride
Hey Joe Composer(s): Billy Roberts Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand
I'm going down to shoot my old lady You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man I'm going down to shoot my old lady You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man And that ain't too cool
Hey Joe, I've heard you shot your woman down, shot her down, now I said I've heard you shot your old lady down, You shot her down to the ground
Yes I did, I shot her You know, I caught her messin' round, messin' round town Yes I did, I shot her You know, I caught my old lady messin' around town And I gave her the gun I shot her!
Hey Joe, alright Shoot her one more time, baby
Hey Joe, said now Where you gonna run to now? Where you gonna run to? Hey Joe, I said where you gonna run to now? Where you, where you gonna go? Well, dig it
