Start Off Each Day With A Song
Composer(s): Jimmy Durante
Performer(s): Jimmy Durante; Eddie Jackson; John Scott Trotter & His Orch.



You gotta start off each day with a song
Now even when things go wrong
You'll feel better, you'll even look better
I'm here to tell you that you'll be a go-getter
Now the way that you shake my hand
Will tell me how I stand
Now isn't it better to go through life with a smile and a song
Then walking around life with a face, 11 miles long
Now you know that you can't go wrong
If you start off each day with a song

You gotta start off each day with a song
(oh sing it to me boy)
Even when things go wrong
(sing it for the hoi-poloi)
You'll feel better, you'll even look better
Ah, that music it does somethin' to me
I wish I knew what it was
Last night I was telling Umbriago about my latest concerto
Called Tony's push cart
He said Tony's push cart, how does it go
I said it doesn't go you have to push it
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I got a million of 'em, a million of 'em
Now you know that you can't go wrong
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes)
If you start off each day with a song

You gotta start off each..... boys please, soft, soft
A little more fortissimo
I wanna relate a yarn
Turn back the pages of history and what do you see
Madison Square Garden, a Rodeo
And there I was
Interviewing a prize winning cow.
I asked her to tell the radio public how she feels
She said mooooooooo
She's contented, I'm contented
But her husband ain't
So what happens?
The bull ups to me, I ups to him
And without any preliminaries
I'm flat on my back
Being a gentlemen I apologize
But the bull's not satisfied
He demands an autopsy
So I grabs him by the tail and what happens
He flips his tail
I lands on his head
He flips his head
I lands on his tail
He's playing ping pong with me
And I'm losing
Just then the bull is ready to charge again
I gets an idea
I starts singing South Of The Border Down Mexico Way
And what happens
The bull starts crying
But even regardless I keeps on singin'
This time with the castanets
That's too much for the bull and he collapses
A cheer goes up, I'm saved and the moral is
You've gotta start off each day with a song

You gotta start off each day with a song
(oh boy your singing now)
Even when things go wrong
(oh Jimmy your a wow)
You'd feel better,
You know I'm walking down Broadway
And who taps me on the shoulder
My pal, Hit 'Em In The Head Schwartz
I said who you working for now
He said the same bunch
The wife and the kids
Ha ha ha ha ha

Now isn't it better to go through life with a smile and a song
Then walking around with a face 11 miles long
Now you know that you can't go wrong
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes)
If you start off each day with a song

Highway
Performer(s): Fat Mattress



I was walking down a street
And I thought it was a highway not a byway
Oh
I don't really care as long as it's not
A sighway goin' my way I don't need that
Looking in the distance I see a crowd of people

Wonder what they're doing
wonder what they're saying
Hope they're thinking as well as talking

Seems I never get the time
Or the feeling that sends you reeling anymore
Oh
but I don't really care
as long as there's
A highway
goin' my way
I can head for
Looking in the distance I see a crowd of people
Wonder what they're doing
wonder what they're saying
Hope they're thinking as well as talking

Everything
Composer(s): Nikos Karvelas - Anna Vissi
First performance by: Anna Vissi - 2006



I can hear my heart breaking as I open the door
I can feel the tears on my face burn like fire
As I look in your eyes
And I know I'm still in love
 
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
Baby, baby, I'm still in love
 
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
Everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
 
I can feel my life ending as I whisper goodbye
And I know I'm still in love
 
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
 
I can't believe I still need you
I can't believe I still want you
Can't believe life means nothing without you
Baby, I'm still in love, still in love, still in love
 
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
Everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
 
I'm in love with everything you are

Highland Fairy Lullaby
(Traditional)



I left my baby lying here
Lying here, lying here
I left my baby lying here
To go and gather blueberries
I found the wee brown otter's track
Otter's track, otter's track
I found the wee brown otter's track
But ne'er a trace o' my baby, O!

I found the track of the swan on the lake
Swan on the lake, swan on the lake
I found the track of the swan on the lake
But not the track of baby, O!

I found the trail of the mountain mist
Mountain mist, mountain mist
I found the trail of the mountain mist
But ne'er a trace of baby, O!

Hovan, Hovan Gorry og O
Gorry og, O, Gorry og O
Hovan, Hovan Gorry og O
I've lost my darling baby, O!

Start Me Up
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists



If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Never, never
Slide it up

You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man cum
You, you make a dead man cum

Higher Than A Hawk (Deeper Than A Well)
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Howard Keel;
Doris Day; Jason Howard



My heart is higher than a hawk
my love is deeper than a well
I'm thinkin' in a little while
My love and I'll be doin' very well

An owl is givin' me the eye
The wind is blowin' me a kiss
I wouldn't be at all surprised
If I were only dreamin' all of this

And when I strut about like a Sunny Jim
Dressed in yeller and red
Folks'll shout, "Take a look at him!
He's tetched in the head!"

I said that I would never fall
I laughed at others when they fell
And here I'm falling, higher than a hawk
And deeper than a well

And when we're all rigged out like a birthday cake
Eyes'll pop everywhere
Folks'll shout, "Don't you think
they make a wonderful pair?"

I said that I would never fall
But if you promise not to tell
My love for you is higher than a hawk
And deeper than a well

Teenage Life
Composer(s): John Matthews - Daz Sampson
First performance by: Daz Sampson - 2006



("What did you learn at school today?")
(That's what the teachers used to say) Oh yeah
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?)
(Why do they always give advice?) Always
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice")
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) Let's go
 
("What did you learn at school today?") What did you learn?
(That's what the teachers used to say) What did you learn?
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?)
(Why do they always give advice?) Always, always
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice")
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life)
 
Dwellin' on the past, from back when I was young
Thinkin' of my school days and tryin' to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams, man, they couldn't save me
'Cause my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy
 
Teenage kicks running out, what could we do?
I still show respect to my boys who made it through
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal, so everyone could see
 
Sunshine and shade, those girls I'd serenade
Thinkin' of those sixth form chicks that misbehave (Whatever)
Hopin' that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new, just friends runnin' together
 
But suddenly school ends, your teenage life's gone
All your mates are growin' up, now they're movin' on
And now I'm lookin' back, I'll tell you what I know
Do you listen to your teacher? No, I don't think so
 
("What did you learn at school today?") Yeah, yeah
(That's what the teachers used to say)
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?)
(Why do they always give advice?)
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice")
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life)
 
Now if you give the kids time, together they will shine
Yeah, yeah
(Ooh... shine) We all will shine, hear me now
And if you treat the kids fine, they won't do the crime
No, no (Won't do the crime)
Yeah
 
Now my bad old ways were durin' my school days
Messin' with those grade A's, my life is just a haze
I'm goin' through the struggle, five ten and kickin' back
So I could lock the flow, lace it up now on the track
 
Oh yeah, I felt the pain whilst chasin' all the fame
I'm being told I'm nothin', just a player in the game
But now I walk tall, stand proud for you to see
I'm drivin' these fast cars, it's five stars for me
 
("What did you learn at school today?")
Just take your turn, you gotta learn
(That's what the teachers used to say)
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?)
They don't know nothin'
(Why do they always give advice?) Always givin' advice, yeah
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice")
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life)
 
Yeah, yeah
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life)

Let me love you
Take me home to your religion for the night

Start Living 
Performer(s): Matt Monro



You wake up and be smart
You’ll never hear those drums while you twiddle with your thumbs
So, starting today, stop your work and find more time to play
Follow me and start living

Go polish up your grin, do some things you’ve never done
Start surprising everyone, when you start to glow
You’ll be the one that they all want to know
So have fun and start living

In one wild moment of madness, you can lose your sadness
So paint a smile upon your face, like a lawyer who has won the case

Go dress in style tonight, have some fun at any price
Order champagne on the ice
Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead
But you have just started living

In one wild moment of madness you can lose your sadness
So paint a smile upon your face, like Perry Mason when he’s won a case 

Go dress in style tonight
Have some fun at any price
Order champagne on the ice
Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead
But you’ve just, now you’ve just, you’ve only just
Started living
Yes, you’ve started living
You’ve just started living

Higher Love
Composer(s): Will Jennings; Steve Winwood
Performer(s): Steve Winwood



Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I’ll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we’re just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it’s real to me
There must be someone who’s feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I’m not too late for it
Until then, I’ll sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it...oh bring it...

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Higher Ground
Composer(s): Steve Dorff
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



Walk me over 
this horizon 
let the sun's light 
warm my face 
once again the times are changin'
once again I lost my way 
well the words of ancient poets 
fall like dust upon my shoes 
greed has robbed me of my vision 
turned my heart from higher truths 
so take my hand 
and lift me higher 
be my love and my desire 
hold me safe 
and honor bound 
take my heart to 
higher ground 

I have walked 
too long in darkness 
I have walked 
too long alone 
blindly clutching 
fists of diamonds 
that I found were only stones 
I would trade the world of ages 
for a warmer hand to hold 
the path of light is narrow 
but it leads to streets of gold 
so take my hand 
and lift me higher 
be my love and my desire 
hold me safe 
and honor bound 
take my heart to 
higher ground 

in this world 
we move through shadows 
never sure 
of what we see 
while the truth that lies between us 
come and share the truth with me 
so take my hand 
and lift me higher 
be my love and my desire 
hold me safe 
and honor bound 
take my heart to 
higher 
higher ground 

hmmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm

Your love keeps liftin' me higher

But you came and he soon departed
And I'll never see his face again

Tornerò
First performance by: Mihai Traistariu - 2006



Yeah

I'm keeping your smile on my mind every day
I'm feeling your touch on my face even while you're away
Like when was together in that dream that could've been so right, hey
Like when was together in that dream that could've been so right

Tornerò, tornerò
La mia vita ti darò
Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai

Tornerò, tornerò
La mia vita ti darò
Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai

I wonder why I should feel so empty these days
I wonder why I should fall now while you're away
We'll dance together in that dream that could've been so right, hey
We'll dance together in that dream that could've been so right

Tornerò, tornerò
La mia vita ti darò
Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai

Tornerò, tornerò
La mia vita ti darò
Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai

Tornerò, tornerò
La mia vita ti darò
Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai

High, Low And In Between
Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
Performer(s): Townes Van Zandt



I come from a long line
high and low and in between
same as you
hills of golden
hails of poison
time's thrown me through
and I believe I've come to learn
that turnin' round
is to become confusion
and the gold's no good for spending
and the poison's hungry waiting

What can you leave behind
when you're flyin' lightning fast
and all alone?
Only a trace, my friend
spirit of motion born
and direction grown
A trace that will not fade
in frozen skies
your journey will be
and if her shadow doesn't seem much company
who said it would be?

There is the highway
and the homemade lovin' kind
the highway's mine
and us ramblers are getting the travelling down
you fathers build with stones
that stand and shine
heaven's where you find it
and you can't
take too much with you
but daddy, don't you listen
it's just this highway talkin'

All things at our life
are brothers in the soil
and in the sky
and I believe it
with my blood
if not my eyes
I don't know why we can't
be brothers here
I know we should be
answers don't seem easy
and I'm wonderin'
if they could be

Starship Trooper
Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Steve Howe - Chris Squire
Performer(s): Yes
and multiple other artists



I. Life Seeker 

Sister Bluebird flying high above
Shine your wings forward to the sun
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
What you don't know, I have never heard

Starship Trooper, go sailing on by
Catch my soul, catch the very night
Hide the moment from my eager eyes 
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul
What you can't see, can't be very whole

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
the proud sons and daughters that
In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

Mother life, hold firmly on to me
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
Lose as much as only you can show
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
What I don't know, I have never shared

II. Desillusion 

Loneliness is a pow'r that we possess to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance 
of the fact there shown before you
Take what I say in a diff'rent way and it's easy 
to see that this is all confusion 
As I see a new day in me, I can also show if you and you may follow

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
the proud sons and daughters that
In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

III: Wurm (instrumental) 

High Winds, White Sky
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn



High winds
white sky
wild birds do glide
tattered smoke fades
embers in the pipe
move like
life beginning

High winds
pyramids
glittering ring
blood of the king
daughter of the stars
you are
life beginning

The wind's travellers' tales tease the tops of the trees
the ships have all sailed to the mouth of the sea...

High winds
wheel turns
the spider spins
hands draw us in
river-scented skin
moves in
life beginning

Falsehood lies panting like a fish in the palm...

Never Let You Go
Composer(s): Alexander Lunyev - Karen Kavaleryan - Irina Antonyan
First performance by: Dima Bilan - 2006



Heavy clouds, no rain, and every move causes pain
Ready kiss, but no love, I feel I'm torn in half
Burning look, but no heat, it's not you really need
Baby, now it's happened with us
We are dancing on broken glass
Can't stand no more
 
Never, never let you go
You are the one I'm searching for
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Love's carving it in the stone
 
Never, never let you go
Return the days we had before
Soul of my soul, blood of my blood
Love's carving it in my heart
 
Gentle words, no aim, it seems we're playing a game
Easy smile, but no fun, sweet music for no one
Close embrace, but no more, cold champagne we forgot to pour
Baby, now it's happened with us
We are dancing on broken glass
Can't stand no more
 
Never, never let you go
You are the one I'm searching for
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Love's carving it in the stone
 
Never, never let you go
Return the days we had before
Soul of my soul, blood of my blood
Love's carving it in my heart
 
Love's carving it in my heart
Ooh... baby, now it's happened with us
We are dancing on broken glass
(Can't stand no more)
 
Never, never let you go
You are the one I'm searching for
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Love's carving it in the stone
 
Never, never let you go
Return the days we had before
Soul of my soul, blood of my blood
Love's carving it in my heart
 
Never, never let you go
You are the one I'm searching for
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Love's carving it in the stone
 
Never, never let you go
Return the days we had before
Soul of my soul, blood of my blood
Love's carving it in my heart
 
Love's carving it in my heart

High Time 
Composer(s): Garcia; Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead



You told me goodbye, how was I to know
you didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go?

I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know

The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay
now listen here, Baby, 'cause I mean what I say

I'm having a hard time, living the good life, well I know

I was losing time, I had nothing to do
no one to fight, I came to you
Wheels broke down, leader won't draw
the line is busted, the last one I saw
Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain
now don't think too hard Baby, 'cause I know what I'm saying

I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way

Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong

We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know
