Start! Composer(s): Paul Weller First release by: The Jam - 1980
It's not important for you to know my name, nor I to know yours If we communicate for two minutes only, it will be enough For knowing that someone in this world, feels as desperate as me And what you give is what you get
It doesn't matter if we never meet again, what we have said will always remain If we get through for two minutes only, it will be a start! For knowing that someone in this life, loves with a passion called hate And what you give is what you get
If I never ever see you If I never ever see you If I never ever see you again
If I never ever see you If I never ever see you If I never ever see you again
And what you give is what you get And what you give is what you get And what you give is what you get And what you give is what you get And what you give is what you get And what you give is what you get!
Highway Song Composer(s): Rick Medlocke; Jackson Spires Performer(s): Blackfoot
Another day, another dollar After I sing and holler Oh it's my way of livin' and I can't change a thing
Another town is drawing near Oh baby I wish you were here But the only way I can see you darlin' is in my dreams It's a highway song you sing it on and on on and on Yeah the hurt you leave behind Is the hurt that's on your mind Oh and last night suretook it's toll on me
Well the city lights fly by me As I lay my body in my bed And dreams of you flash through my head It's a highway song you sing it on and on on and on Highway song it's as long as as the road I'm on Yes these big wheels are ready to roll We've been flyin' high I'm so low And all in all this madness Ain't as crazy as it seems
Everywhere they stop and stare I'm just a stranger on this road I stand alone only in my dreams (repeat chorus)
Hard Rock Hallelujah Composer(s): Mr. Lordi First performance by: Lordi - 2006
Hard rock hallelujah Hard rock hallelujah
The saints are crippled on this sinners' night Lost are the lambs with no guiding light The walls come down like thunder, the rocks about to roll It's the Arockalypse, now bare your soul
All we need is lightning with power and might Striking down the prophets of false As the moon is rising, give us the sign Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah Demons and angels all in one have arrived Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah In God's creation, supernatural high
The true believers, thou shall be saved Brothers and sisters, keep strong in the faith On the Day of Rockoning, it's who dares, wins You will see the jokers soon'll be the new kings
All we need is lightning with power and might Striking down the prophets of false As the moon is rising, give us the sign Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah Demons and angels all in one have arrived Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah In God's creation, supernatural high
Wings on my back, I got horns on my head My fangs are sharp and my eyes are red Not quite an angel or the one that fell Now choose to join us or go straight to hell
Hard rock hallelujah Hard rock hallelujah Hard rock hallelujah Hard rock, yeah
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah Demons and angels all in one have arrived Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah In God's creation, supernatural high
Highwayman Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Johnny Cash; Willie Nelson; Waylon Jennings; Kris Kristofferson;
and various other artists
Willie: I was a highwayman Along the coach roads I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive
Kris: I was a sailor I was born upon the tide And with the sea I did abide I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still
Waylon: I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around..I'll always be around.... and around and around and around and around
Johnny: I fly a starship across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again....

Though the skies be cloudy (it sure do look like rain dont it (clear up directly) Smile and all the world says Howdy
Off with the blanket, up with the curtain, greet the new day In with the sugar, only two lumps please, dont you delay Out of the kitchen, out of the cottage Singing on your way
Ho-dle-ay start the day right
That's right Hear what I'm tellin' ya That's right Ho-ho-ho-dle-ay, that's the only way
You gotta start the day right Well, roll it Quickly
Highway Made Of Glass Composer(s): Ivona Reich; Jan Hammer Performer(s): Jan Hammer
Raindrops and moonlight Gather on a highway made of glass Im driving all night Thinking of the different years that passed
I found that my love You remain the true and only one Guiding star bright Clear as water running through the grass
Times that we had to be so far apart Sometimes we couldnt even talk You know that life together can be hard And yet you found a way to make it work but
I forgot to tell you And at times I couldnt even try How strong is my love Evergreen that reaches for the sky
Highway made of glass
Raindrops and moonlight Shining like the colors in your hair How high is my love High above the castles in the air
Times that we had to be so far apart Sometimes we couldnt even talk You know that life together can be hard And yet you found a way to Make it all work out
And Im smiling Driving fifty five while I should fly Strong is my love Evergreen that reaches for the sky
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
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 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 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
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)

You wake up and be smart Youll 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 youve never done Start surprising everyone, when you start to glow Youll 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 youll 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 hes 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 youll wish you were dead But youve just, now youve just, youve only just Started living Yes, youve started living Youve 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, Ill 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 Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
Worlds are turning and were just hanging on Facing our fear and standing out there alone A yearning, and its real to me There must be someone whos 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 Wheres 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 Im not too late for it Until then, Ill 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 Wheres 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
