Standing here alone again Waiting for the moment that we shared, my love No matter how many lies you say No matter how many miles you walk away from me Lorraine
Here I am, all alone Waiting for the moment again But I know that you are gone
You got to know that harder the rain Sweeter the pain I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
Calling you again and again I'll wait for your name I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
Whispering your name again Singing prayers among the stars For you, my sweet Lorraine You've always given me some great times Try to imagine how we fly so far away from here My Lorraine
Here I am, all alone Waiting for the moment we shared But I know that you are gone
You got to know that harder the rain Sweeter the pain I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
Calling you again and again I'll wait for your name I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
I can still remember Lorraine I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
You got to know that harder the rain Sweeter the pain (My sweet Lorraine) I can still remember Lorraine in the rain (Remember Lorraine in the rain)
Calling you again and again (Again and again and again) I'll wait for your name (My sweet Lorraine) I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
(I will fly so far away from here, my love) I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

Lorraine Composer(s): Bad Manners Performer(s): Bad Manners
For the first time in my life, I was sold in Love (Laughter) (Why you laughin' at me?) I met this girl called Lorraine who stole my heart
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine
She was so in love with me, we were gonna get wed So I bought her lots of things- diamond ring, brand new bed (A brand new bed? Yes, a brand new bed!)
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine
For the first time in my life, I was in love Lorraine, she treat me like a flipping coin! Lorraine, she took everything Even my brand new engagement ring She took the car and went to town But now she can only be found...
Lorraine punched me on the nose, so I slapped her round the head Then we talked the whole thing out, and went straight to bed
And now I've found her, don't wanna kill her And now I've found her, don't wanna kill her And now I've found her, don't wanna kill her And now I've found her, don't wanna kill her Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine

I Wonder What The Weather's Like In Charleston Composer(s): Moneen Carpenter Performer(s): Bill Anderson
Though you never talked of allways you were gentle And life was simple just because you cared I never thought too much about tomorrow I just could not imagine you're not here
I wonder what the weather's like in Charleston Someone said they heard that's where you've gone I hope it doesn't rain today in Charleston For I want you always walking in the sun
I'm sure you never meant to leave me hurtin' But I guess the urge to go got out of hand So you left without a word of explanation I hope somehow you know I understand
I wonder what the weather's like in Charleston Someone said they heard that's where you've gone I hope it doesn't rain today in Charleston For I want you always walking in the sun...
Star Composer(s): A. Clarke - T. Sylvester - Tony Hicks Performer(s): The Hollies
I was jiving along in my big cadillac saw a thumb going up, I said "Driver go back" Played her a track from my latest LP Getting bad vibes she hadn't recognized me
She said she didn't know me but my name's been in lights giant size neons on the strip every night The camera man did the best that he can Still she said "I don't know you" I just can't understand
I'm a star, yeah I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow) I'm a star, anyway
I was trying to be nice but I'm not into that I usually make it without any chat
She was taking it easy, taking it slow I said "Come on baby, I'm ready to go"
I'm a star, yeah I'm a star. (Baby bathe in my glow) I'm a star, anyway
She said "Drop me off here" and to my surprise you wouldn't believe it, it was Beverly Drive Some sort of commotion, what's happening here? We've arrived at her premiere, I shouldn't be here
She's a star, yeah She's a star, I didn't know it She's a star anyway
Star Composer(s): Joe Egan Performer(s): Stealers Wheel
So they've made you a star Now your head's in a cloud And you're walkin' down the street With your feet off the ground
They read in the press all about your success They believe every word they've been told After all you've been through tell what will you do When you find yourself out in the cold Ah, tell me Ah, tell me
When you appear on the stage There's a standing ovation You really live out your performance You're the biggest sensation
You breeze through the door and when you take the floor You expect to have it all to yourself After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself back on the shelf Ah, tell me Ah, tell me
You breeze though the door and when you take the floor You expect to have it all to yourself After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself back on the shelf Ah, tell me Ah, tell me

In the sky shines a star Spaces near and far Calling out who you are And smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Stars hide from the rain It turns against the pain Fooling many in the game While smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
I can feel the dark take the night apart But then the stars come out and lift my heart Believing there's a star for everyone Makes it easier to recall That together, for the children of the world There's a star smiling for us all
Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Star, shining high Cultivating my desire Graceful in the sky While smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Le Grand Soir Composer(s): Frédéric Zeitoun - Alec Mansion First performance by: Nuno Resende - 2005
Ce soir, tous ces regards Là dans le noir La peur et l'espoir Ce soir, il n'est pas trop tard De croire Aux rêves de gloire Ce soir, une lumière, dans un éclair, changer d'histoire
Ce soir, je l'ai prié, je l'attendais, le grand soir Ce soir, le souffle court L'enjeu est lourd Ne pas decevoir Ce soir, changer de trottoir Ce soir Un nouveau départ Et voir, toute sa vie, tous ses amis, en un regard Ce soir, je fais un voeu, je veux pour eux, le grand soir
Ce soir, on oublie tout Les mauvais coups Les nuits de brouillard Ce soir, c'est un autre jour Ce soir c'est enfin mon tour D'avoir, comme un dimanche, une revanche, et le pouvoir Ce soir, de l'appeller, de le chanter, le grand soir Le grand soir
Hey You Composer(s): Roger Waters Performer(s): Pink Floyd
Hey you, out there in the cold Getting lonely, getting old Can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisles With itchy feet and fading smiles Can you feel me? Hey you, dont help them to bury the light Don't give in without a fight
Hey you, out there on your own Sitting naked by the phone Would you touch me? Hey you, with you ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out Would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy The wall was too high As you can see No matter how he tried He could not break free And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you, standing in the road always doing what you're told Can you help me? Hey you, out there beyond the wall Breaking bottles in the hall Can you help me? Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall
Stanley Steamer Composer(s): Ralph Blane - Harry Warren Performer(s): Jo Stafford and multiple other artists
Get your veil and get your duster Get the yen for goggles when the wind's a guster Keep your Hubbard gown Firmly belted down When you're out in your Stanley Steamer In a gale we never fluster `Cause we're told we get that old familiar lustre If you're dressed in style Ev'ryone will smile When you're out in your Stanley Steamer Honk, honk! Honk, honk, honk! The donkey used to have his charm But he's looking at us with alarm For it looks like he's back to the farm But if you fail with your combustor Then your speed is gonna need a new adjuster And you must be just Just the one we trust Or we won't step inside No, we won't take the ride That you plan in your Stanley Steamer That you plan in your Stanley Steamer In your Stanley Steamer automobile
Chug, chug, chug, chug Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug That flat tyre was so unexpected There she sat alone and rejected I started to sigh Then I caught the eye Of the man in the Stanley Steamer It began to rain When along the lane Came the man in the Stanley Steamer He was a sight to make me tingle And a dish to make me glad that I was single He proposed a ride So I hopped inside And away we started in the Stanley Steamer It was not that she was stupid Nor the shot she thought she got from Mr. Cupid I just lost my heart From the very start To the man in the Stanley Steamer Honk, honk! Honk, honk, honk! The tandem bike has had its day If you're ridin' one you'll find that they Poke along in an obsolete way With all the bright anticipation Like a child with a wild imagination And we wanna ride, wanna ride inside Of the latest motor deal Wanna sit behind the wheel With the man in the Stanley Steamer With the man in the Stanley Steamer I'm a-nothin' but a dreamer In your Stanley Steamer Stanley Steamer automobile
Hey You Composer(s): Randy Bachman Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive

You realize now You should have tried now, oooh ooh The music's gone now, you'll find out You lost it somehow Hey you, sha lalala Hey you, sha lalala Wooo, sha la la la Wooo, sha la la la

I know that it's late And I really must leave you alone But you're too good to hold That I feel such a long way from home Yes I know that our love is too new But I promise Its going to be true Please let me stay And don't you send me away Oh, no, no
Aaahh! tell me baby that you need me Say you'll never leave me Love me tonight Hold me now my heart is aching Until the dawn is breaking Love me tonight Something is burning inside Something that can't be denied I can't let you out of my sight Darling, love me tonight Let me love you, baby Let me love you, baby Baby, love me tonight
I've waited so long For the girl of my dreams to appear And now I can hardly believe That you really are here Here in my arms you belong How can this feeling be wrong Darling be kind For I'm out of my mind over you
Aaahh! tell me baby that you need me Say you'll never leave me Love me tonight Baby now the pain is stronger I can't wait a moment longer Love me tonight Something is burning inside Something that can't be denied I can't let you out of my sight Darling, love me tonight Let me love you, baby Let me love you, baby Baby,love me tonight
