Starrider Composer(s): Al Greenwood - Michael Leslie Jones First release by: Foreigner - 1977 Covered by: Lana Lane - 2006
I stole a ride on a passing star Not knowing where I was going How near or how far Through years of light, lands of future and past Until the heavenly gates Were sighted at last
Starrider, rider, rider Take me to the stars Starrider, rider, rider Show me where you are
Northern lights flashed by And then they were gone And as old stars would die So the new ones were born
And ever on I sailed Celestial ways And in the light of my years Shone the rest of my days
Speed increasing All control is in the hands of those who know Will they help us grow To one day be starriders
Starrider, rider, rider Show me where you are Starrider, rider, rider Take me to the stars
Speed increasing All control is in the hands of those who know Will they help us grow To one day be starriders
High Fashion Queen Composer(s): Chris Hillman; Gram Parsons Performer(s): The Flying Burrito Brothers; Chris Hillman
There's a place everyone of us can go to Maybe you have been there once or twice Where all your friends just look at you and whisper And they want to give you nothing but advice
When you walk in they all know what you're after And the higher that you get the more they'll see In a dark room filled with music, wine and laughter Your eyes keep searching for her constantly
Is it that one in the corner with her eyes filled with tears Or is she the one who's having fun drinking too much beer Every night it's the same sad old procedure The doorman winks at you on your way out
Cause deep inside he knows just what your after And he's got something you can't live without There's nothing new that can be said about dirt And there's nothing left inside your heart but the same old hurt
Ain't you glad you're a high fashion queen Ain't you glad you're a high fashion queen Ain't you glad you're a high fashion queen
I Hear Your Heart Composer(s): Andris Sejans - Reinis Sejans - Guntars Racs - Molly-Ann Leikin First performance by: Vocal Group Cosmos - 2006
In a world that is beeping and blaring Growing louder every day I cover my ears But none of the noise will go away (Away)
Sirens, barking dogs Thank God for the one and only sound That turns around and makes it right
I hear your heart whisper to me No matter where I may happen to be, yeah Sending me love and shining it through I hear your heart Can you hear mine too?
I hear your heart whisper to me No matter where I may happen to be, yeah Sending me love and shining it through I hear your heart Can you hear mine too?
Oh... as sensitive people we're trampled Almost everywhere we go There are days (when we will die) when we'll die If one more stranger tells us no
So I hope your shadows melt away As you say they've done before Just like the one and only sound That turns around for me once more
I hear your heart whisper to me No matter where I may happen to be Sending me love and shining it through I hear your heart Can you hear mine too?
I hear your heart (I hear your heart) Whisper to me (Whisper to me) No matter where I may (Where I may) Happen to be (Happen to be) Sending me love (Sending me love) And shining it through (And shining it through) I hear your heart Can you hear mine too?
I hear your heart Mine too I hear your heart
A violin on a summer night On a full moon mountaintop Couldn't sound as sweet as you do Don't stop, don't stop
I hear your heart (I hear your heart) Whisper to me (Whisper to me) No matter where I may (Where I may) Happen to be (Happen to be) Sending me love (Sending me love) And shining it through (And shining it through) I hear your heart (Your heart) Can you hear mine too?
I hear your heart (I hear your heart) Whisper to me (Whisper to me) No matter where I may (Where I may) Happen to be (Happen to be) Sending me love (Sending me love) And shining it through (And shining it through) I hear your heart Can you hear mine too?
High Cotton Composer(s): Roger Murrah; Scott Anders Performer(s): Alabama; Dark One Lite; Bobby Osborne
We didn't know that times were lean Around our home the grass was green It didn't seem like things were all that bad I bet we walked a thousand miles Choppin' cotton and pushin' plows And learnin' how to give it all we had
As life went on and years went by I saw the light in daddy's eyes And felt the love in mama's hands They kept us warm and kept us fed Taught us how to look ahead Now lookin' back, I understand
We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced
When Sunday mornings rolled around We dressed up in hand-me-downs Just in time, together with the church Sometimes I think how long it's been And how it impressed me then It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work
We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced
We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced
We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced
Starman ((Adapted from: Starman (by David Bowie) - 1972)) (Finnish Version: Muukalainen - 1973) Composer(s): David Bowie - Seu Jorge Performer(s): Seu Jorge - 2004
A lua inteira agora e um manto negro O fim das vozes no meu radio Sao quatro ciclos no escuro deserto do ceu Quero um machado pra quebrar o gelo Quero acordar do sonho agora mesmo Quero uma chance de tentar viver sem dor
Sempre estar la, e ver ele voltar Nao era mais o mesmo, mas estava em seu lugar Sempre estar la, e ver ele voltar O tolo teme a noite como a noite vai temer o fogo Vou chorar sem medo, vou lembrar do tempo De onde eu via o mundo azul
A trajetoria escapa o risco nu As nuvens queimam o ceu, nariz azul Desculpe estranho, eu voltei mais puro do ceu Na lua o lado escuro e sempre igual No espaco a solidao e tao normal Desculpe estranho, eu voltei mais puro do ceu
Sempre estar la, e ver ele voltar Nao era mais o mesmo, mas estava em seu lugar Sempre estar la, e ver ele voltar O tolo teme a noite como a noite vai temer o fogo Vou chorar sem medo, vou lembrar do tempo De onde eu via o mundo azul
High Civilization Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb Performer(s): The Bee Gees
Cryin' in the streets They run for their lives How can you lead them to heaven They don't realize Children of the night How far can we fall That which we say is forever Ain't no time at all
Father and the son Not too young to be old Reach out for each other when The world goes cold Feel so good to be home Are you ready for
(Chorus) My high civilization Are you ready for My high civilization Are you ready for My high civilization Civilization
Everything for us to see The ultimate society
Keeper of the sword You fight for your rights How can you live for the hour When there's no yesterday Dyin' in the streets Your number your name All that which keeps us together Is bringing us the pain
Thunder of the guns Comes the criminal mind Working for the power of The evil eye We are never alone Uncivilized
(Chorus)
New York, Paris, Tokyo Vienna to Berlin Baby don't know you L.A., Rome, Afghanistan Cairo to Iran No city can hold you There's no one in Avalon to show you Minutes into seconds are you ready For the end

Hier Is Mijn Hart Composer(s): Ralph Benatar; Nelly Byl Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Kon je maar begrijpen dat een artiest Zich moet wijden aan zijn publiek Dan zou je niet denken dat ik niet van je hou Als ik eens een dag niet gezegd heb tot jou
Hier is mijn hart Hier is mijn hart Hier is mijn hart Hier is mijn hart
Er wordt veel geschreven goed en ook kwaad Want een publiek leven wordt altijd bepraat Maar wat kan het schelen wat men verzint Als je weet dat ik enkel maar voor jou zing
Hier is mijn hart Hier is mijn hart Hier is mijn hart Hier is mijn hart
Hier Encore

Hier encore J'avais vingt ans Je caressais le temps Et jouais de la vie Comme on joue de l'amour Et je vivais la nuit Sans compter sur mes jours Qui fuyaient dans le temps
J'ai fait tant de projets Qui sont restés en l'air J'ai fondé tant d'espoirs Qui se sont envolés Que je reste perdu Ne sachant où aller Les yeux cherchant le ciel Mais le cur mis en terre
Hier encore J'avais vingt ans Je gaspillais le temps En croyant l'arrêter Et pour le retenir Même le devancer Je n'ai fait que courir Et me suis essoufflé
Ignorant le passé Conjuguant au futur Je précédais de moi Toute conversation Et donnais mon avis Que je voulais le bon Pour critiquer le monde Avec désinvolture
Hier encore J'avais vingt ans Mais j'ai perdu mon temps A faire des folies Qui ne me laissent au fond Rien de vraiment précis Que quelques rides au front Et la peur de l'ennui
Car mes amours sont mortes Avant que d'exister Mes amis sont partis Et ne reviendront pas Par ma faute j'ai fait Le vide autour de moi Et j'ai gâché ma vie Et mes jeunes années
Du meilleur et du pire En jetant le meilleur J'ai figé mes sourires Et j'ai glacé mes pleurs Où sont-ils à présent À présent mes vingt ans?
Mmm... every night I need mi loca Every night I need her boca Every night I need mi loco Need him crazy just un poco
Hey, loca, give me, give me your boca (Yeah) You're my girl, you're my loca (Can you feel this?) You are breaking my heart Whoa...
Hey, loco, please espera un poco And I'll give you my choco Do you want it or not?
Every time I see mi loca I feel I go crazy un poco (Yeah) She's so sexy, she's so hot Every night she's breaking my heart
Every time I see mi loco I realise he's crazy un poco (That's right) And we keep on dancing all night long With my boy, I will never feel alone
Hey, loca, give me, give me your boca You're my girl, you're my loca (Yeah) You are breaking my heart (Can you feel this?) Whoa... (Can you feel this?)
Hey, loco, please espera un poco And I'll give you my choco Do you want it or not? (Once again now)
If I wanna taste her love tonight Need to kiss her boca one more time I can fly away and reach the stars Every time I drown into her eyes
If I wanna taste his love tonight I just have to hold mi loco tight I can fly always and reach the stars Every time he looks into my eyes
Hey, loca, give me, give me your boca You're my girl, you're my loca You are breaking my heart (Can you feel this?) Whoa... (Can you feel this?)
Hey, loco (Come on) Please espera un poco (Yeah) And I'll give you my choco (Just a little bit) Do you want it or not? Yeah, all right, mi Loco
She's a little bit loco, a little bit cocoa A little bit tall, yo, a little bit small, yo A little Latino, a little Europio A little bit choco, exotic Morocco
She's a good girl, she's a little mean Nice body from the covers of a magazine Eyes like deep green, lips like Angeline The most beautiful girl that you ever seen
Hey, loca, give me, give me your boca (Yeah) You're my girl, you're my loca (Can you feel this?) You are breaking my heart (Come on) Whoa...
Hey, loco, please espera un poco (Come on) And I'll give you my choco Do you want it or not? (Yeah, Connect-R, right on)
Yeah, come on, yeah Love is love Two thousand and six, yeah Connect-R, Arsenium For the next millennium, word Love is love, baby Can you hear me? Can you feel this? Once again
