The Stately Homes Of England Composer(s): Noël Coward Performer(s): Noël Coward and multiple other artists
Lord Elder, Lord Borrowmere, Lord Sickert and Lord Camp With ev'ry virtue, with ev'ry grace Are what avails the sceptred race
Here you see the four of us And there are so many more of us Eldest sons that must succeed We know how Caesar conquer'd Gaul And how to whack a cricket ball Apart from this, our education Lacks coordination Tho' we're young and rather tentative We're rip-re-presentative Scions of a noble breed We are the products of those homes serene and stately Which only lately seems to have run to seed!
The stately homes of England how beautiful they stand To prove the upper classes have still the upper hand Tho' the fact they have to be rebuilt And frequently mortgag'd to the hilt Is inclin'd to take the gilt off the gingerbread And certainly damps the fun Of the eldest son But still we won't be beaten We'll scrimp and screw and save The playing fields of Eton have made us frightfully brave And tho' if the Van Dykes have to go And we pawn the Bechstein grand We'll stand by the stately homes of England
Have you seen the pick of us You may be heartily sick of us Still with sense we're all imbued Our homes command extensive views And with assistance from the Jews We have been able to dispose of Rows and rows and rows of Gainsboroughs and Lawrences Some sporting prints of Aunt Florences Some of which we rather rude Altho' we sometimes flaunt our family conventions Our good intentions Mustn't be misconstrued
The stately homes of England we proudly represent We only keep them up for Americans to rent Tho' the pipes that supply the bathroom burst And the lavat'ry makes you fear the worst It was used by Charles the first (quite informally) And later by George the fourth on a journey north The state apartments keep their historical reknown It's wiser not to sleep there in case they tumble down But still if they ever catch on fire Which with any luck they might We'll fight for the stately homes of England
The stately homes of England tho' rather in the lurch Provide a lot of chances for psychical research There's a ghost of a crazy younger son Who murder'd in thirteen fifty one An extremely rowdy nun (who resented it) And people who come to call Meet her in the hall The baby in the guest wing who crouches by the grate Was wall'd up in the west wing in fourteen twenty eight If anyone spots the Queen of Scots in a hand embroider'd shroud We're proud of the stately homes of England
Hillbilly Hollywood Composer(s): Vince Melamed; Jim Photoglo Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
I can still remember my first guitar Bright and shiny like a brand new car Even took it with me when I went to school And I practiced every day till I got real good
I learned every lick on the radio From Wabash Cannon to Go Johnny Go I majored in rhythm with a minor in blues Then I hit the road with my blue suede shoes
And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights Grand ole opry on on a saturday night Standing where my heroes stood Hillbilly Hollywood
I played some bars where you never wanna go From Oklahoma city down to Tupelo My ears would be ringing like an old fire bell When I'd lay me down in some cheap hotel
And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights Grand ole opry on a saturday night Standing where my heroes stood Hillbilly Hollywood
And I pray before too long They will hear my song
And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights Grand ole opry on a saturday night Standing where my heroes stood I dreamed grand old opry on a saturday night standing . . Hillbilly Hollywood Hillbilly Hollywood Hillbilly Hollywood
All I tell you, Ma my heart on fire Say me no more that he's an arrant liar I feel so safe 'cause I know he's good The guys before him were a sort of junk food
Mama, Mama, Mama Can't you see how I miss him? Mama, Mama, Mama Yes, I need only him Mama, Mama, Mama Can't you see how I love him? So by now my doubts are over I know for sure that he's my dream

Hillbilly Girl With The Blues Composer(s): Lacy J. Dalton Performer(s): Lacy J. Dalton
Friends I know darn well That I'm headed straight for hell If I keep on livin' the crazy way I do But I really have to say I have come a long, long way For a hillbilly girl with the blues
If you think my songs too rough Please recall the road's been tough Do not judge me, Darlin' till you've worn my shoes I have never tried to hide How I really feel inside I'm just a hillbilly girl with the blues
Someday soon I'll settle down In some quiet little town And I won't look back till I leave these blues behind I'm gonna play my old guitar Praise the Lord and pass the jar I'm gonna seek myself a little peace of mind
Don't ya know these city lights Can really blind a country girl People often think she's too green to refuse But there's nothin' worse than neon When the mornin' sun shines through To a hillbilly girl, to a hillbilly girl To a hillbilly girl with the blues With the blues
State Of The World Composer(s): James Harris - Janet Jackson - Terry Lewis Performer(s): Janet Jackson
Five A.M. rise and shine To feed the baby before he starts to cry No rest, no time to play 15, the mother is a runaway No time for dreams or goals Pressure is so strong Her body she has sold so her child can eat What is happening to this world we live in In our home and other lands
Drugs and crime spreadin' on the streets People can't find enough to eat Now our kids can't go out and play That's the state of the world today
Lil' Johnny all alone His only friend, the doll he carries with him Goes to school each and every day To be teased because he has no place to stay This young and homeless boy feels his life is worthless Instead of suicide he cries himself to sleep And it's happenin' to this world we live in There's got to be a better way
Drugs and crime spreadin' on the streets People can't find enough to eat Now our kids can't go out and play That's the state of the world today
Can't give up hope now Let's weather the storm together
Hill Country Rain Composer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker
Sometimes I just wake up hummin' Feelin' like the world is right Want to jump right up and run outside And take in the morning light And feel the music running through me makes me want to dance Clap my hands and dance Sometimes it just takes my lady To smile and make my day complete And when she's touching me I feel free and easy to be me Lucky to be alive Feelin' alright Take a walk outside People they tell me now, You're living too fast Slow down now Jerry boy Take it easy let some of life pass But I don't lnow no other way Got to live it day to day But if I die before my time When I leave I'm leaving nothing behind When I leave I'm leaving nothing behind 'Cause I got a feeling Something that I can't explain It's like dancing naked In that high hill country rain I ain't worried 'bout tomorrow I'll get by best I can Lovin' is my will to live It makes me laugh Want to sing and dance Clap my hands, yeah!
Sense Tu Composer(s): Joan Anton Rechi - Rafael Artesero First performance by: Jenny - 2006
Mai abans m'he sentit al final del camí I ara sé que és així No hi ha res que puguem salvar Ara sé que aquest cop he perdut la partida Ha arribat el final
I sé que no hi ha solució Buscaré una raó per sortir d'aquest món sense tu
Sense tu, sense tu De sentir-me en el cel, he anat a l'infern Sense tu, sense tu Són tan llargues les nits sola en el meu llit Sense tu, sense tu
I no sé com puc escapar Vull fugir de la realitat Oblidar-me del meu passat, caminar sense més Tot i que sé que al final guanyaré
Oblidar-te em fa mal Desentendre'm del que ha passat És difícil saber que és molt dur el que m'espera Sense tu al meu costat
Sé que no puc somiar El passat ha passat i no torna Cal que miri endavant, cal que aprengui a estimar Sense tu
Sense tu, sense tu De sentir-me en el cel, he anat a l'infern Sense tu, sense tu Són tan llargues les nits sola en el meu llit Sense tu, sense tu
I no sé com puc escapar Vull fugir de la realitat Oblidar-me del meu passat, caminar sense més Tot i que sé que al final guanyaré
Sense tu, sense tu De sentir-me en el cel he anat a l'infern Sense tu, sense tu He perdut aquest joc, oblidant el que sóc Sense tu, sense tu
Ara sé que puc escapar Puc fugir de la realitat Oblidar-me del meu passat, caminar sense més Tot i que saps que al final, jo he guanyat
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo Composer(s): Bronislau Kaper; Helen Deutsch Performer(s): Leslie Caron & Mel Ferrer; and various other artists
On every tree there sits a bird Singing a song of love On every tree there sits a bird And every one I ever heard Could break my heart Without a word Singing a song of love
A song of love is a sad song Hi-li Hi-lili Hi-lo A song of love is a song of woe Don't ask me how I know A song of love is a sad song For I have loved and it's so
A tear for him, a tear for me A tear for the love he swore A tear for him and one for me And one for under the tree And one for wherever my love may be And then I shall weep no more
A song of love is a sad song Hi-lili Hi-lili Hi-lo A song of love is a song of woe Don't ask me how I know A song of love is a sad song For I have loved and it's so

Hijos Del Rock 'N' Roll Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Zas
La gente baila por las calles de América vienen al mango zumbando en las autopistas Nadie que se cope mal nadie que los intente parar son hijos del Rock 'n' Roll son hijos del Rock 'n' Roll
Sus cuerpos salen despedidos de un estéreo con ese afán terrible de alcanzar lo etéreo. Me hago una pregunta hermano por qué cuesta tanto ser feliz? Son hijos del Rock 'n' Roll Son hijos del Rock 'n' Roll
No te autocensures la vida es un momento pelá lo que tenés adentro Es que si todos juntos tocáramos el timbre no habría que salir corriendo No sufras tanto, nena No pasa una, nena no creo que pueda existir el infierno
La gente baila por las calles de América Aún sin saber qué es lo que traen los "ochentas" Ya no importa mucho eso hay que aprovechar el envión Son hijos del Rock 'n' Roll Son hijos del Rock 'n' Roll
No te autocensures la vida es un momento pelá lo que tenés adentro Es que si todos juntos tocáramos el timbre no habría que salir corriendo No sufras tanto, nena No pasa una, nena no creo que pueda existir el infierno
Son hijos del Rock 'n' Roll Son hijos del Rock 'n' Roll
Without Your Love Composer(s): Armen Martirosyan - Catherine Bekian First performance by: André - 2006
Drumming hearts and your silent words of love They still remain in the shades of night Will you go? Will you ever save my storming soul? I need to know
Should I live, should I die without your love? Should I smile, should I cry without your love? Should I fall, should I fly without your love? All I can is only living for you, breathing for you
What I lose, what I find without your love? What I say, what I hide without your love? What I have in my mind without your love? Tell me what I have to do, since I love you
Fly with me, take my wings and dream away The stars will lead to the heavens' way One's for sure: There's a thousand ways to say goodbye What you'll decide?
Should I live, should I die without your love? Should I smile, should I cry without your love? Should I fall, should I fly without your love? All I can is only living for you, breathing for you
What I lose, what I find without your love? What I say, what I hide without your love? What I have in my mind without your love? Tell me what I have to do, since I love you
Should I live, should I die without your love? Should I smile, should I cry without your love? Should I fall, should I fly without your love? All I can is only living for you, breathing for you
Should I live, should I die without your love? Should I smile, should I cry without your love? Should I fall, should I fly without your love? All I can is only living for you, breathing for you
What I lose, what I find without your love? What I say, what I hide without your love? What I have in my mind without your love? Tell me what I have to do, because I love you
Creí que tu mismo abrirías la puerta y al despertar me bastaría con tu mano abierta talvez cometo un error al no apresurar este adiós a la fuerza mía la venció el dolor
Te quiero hijo te quiero el mundo esta primero lo repite el viento que te llama hoy Te quiero hijo te quiero no dejes que el recuerdo de este adulto necio vire tu timón
Llegó el momento de escuchar a la vida vete muy lejos a donde no te alcancen mis heridas vete a seguir el olor que despide un buen corazón ve a pintarle al día todo tu color
Hijo te quiero, te quiero.....
Toda, toda mi alegría te la llevaste en tu andar pero es hora de la vida y de tu felicidad te quiero hijo te quiero esta lágrima la brindo en la copa de mi amor y que alumbre tu camino lo que dice mi canción
Te quiero, te quiero, sale a la vida te quiero, te quiero adiós mi despedida
State Of Confusion Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
Woke up in a panic Like somebody fired a gun I wish I could be dreaming But the nightmare's just begun There's flooding in the basement There's water all around There's woodworm in the attic And the ceiling just fell down I'm in a state (state) Of confusion (whooooh) I'm in a state (state) Of confusion (whooooh)
All the dirty dishes Are still in the kitchen sink The tumble dryer's broken Now the telly's on the blink My girlfriend's packed her bags And moved out to another town She couldn't stand the boredom When the video broke down Don't know why I feel so bad Is it the weather, or am I going mad? Don't know why I feel this way I don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going Can't cover up 'cause it's obviously showing It's a state (state) Of confusion (whooooh) We're in a state (state) Of confusion (whooooh) I don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going
Should feel happy, should feel glad I'm alive and it can't be bad But back on planet Earth they shatter the illusion The world's going 'round in a state of confusion
Standing on an island In the middle of the road Traffic either side of me Which way will I go? I should've stayed at home I should have never come outside Now I wish I never tried To cross the other side I'm in a state (state) State of confusion (whooooh) It's a state (state) Of confusion (whooooh)
Lyin' awake in a cold, cold sweat Am I overdrawn, am I going in debt? It gets worse, the older that you get No escape from the state of confusion I'm in State of confusion I'm in Whooooh
I wanna steal your love Hijack I wanna steal your love Hijack I wanna steal your love Hijack I wanna steal your love Hijack I wanna steal your love Hijack I wanna steal your love Hijack I wanna steal your love Hijack

Starwood In Aspen Composer(s): John Denver Performer(s): John Denver; Bruce Foulke
It's a long way from L.A. to Denver It's a long time to hang in the sky It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen The sweet Rocky Mountain paradise Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise The springtime is rolling 'round slowly Grey skies are bringing me down Can't remember when I've ever been so lonely I've forgot what it's like to be home Can't remember what it's like to be home I think of my lady's sweet memory I think of my children's sweet smiles I think of my home at Starwood in Aspen All my friends and the snow covered hills Oh, my friends are the snow-covered hills Can I tell you I'm happy to be here To share and consider this time? For I see here the shadows of changes And a feeling of new friends to find And I see here some new friends to find It's a long way from this place to Denver It's a long time to hang in the sky It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen The sweet Rocky Mountain paradise Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
I'm on a highwire, moving far above the ground I'm on a highwire baby, watch me death-defying It's getting dangerous I'm feeling the juices start to rise I'm on a highwire, and I'm alive I'm on a wheel of fire, spilling my breath into the ground I'm on a bareback cannonball chasing the speed of sound It's getting dangerous - I'm feeling the crowd begin to rise On a cannonball, and I'm alive!
Sharp the dawn, the the morning light descending from the highwire See the pair who bear the flame prepare to take it to the fire flier Looking down, down, down Fair and warm the sounds that drift the morning from the live wire Have to yawn, the horn begins to mingle with the sweet lyre Going down, down, down Celebration swells the nation singing to the highwire With amazing grace and sweet sensation captured by the fire flier Looking down, down, down I'm on a highwire ...
Every Song Is A Cry For Love Composer(s): Brian Kennedy First performance by: Brian Kennedy - 2006
Every song is a cry for love Every voice can rise above So don't be afraid Just show what you're made of Sing it out: every song is a cry for love
Every day is a brand new start Every night you could fall apart Anytime you doubt the truth that's in your heart Sing it out: every song is a cry for love
Being strong, being tough Never tender, always rough It was never enough for me
In the dead of the night Only love can hold you tight Sing it out: every song is a cry for love
Every kiss is a call for home Every touch means you're not alone You don't always have to make it on your own Sing it out: every song is a cry for love
Being strong, being tough Never tender, always rough It was never enough for me
In the dead of the night Only love can hold you tight Sing it out: every song is a cry for love
Sing it out: every song is a cry for love Sing it out: every song is a cry for love Every song is a cry for love
Highways Of My Life Composer(s): Ernie Isley; Marvin Isley; Ronald Isley; O'Kelly Isley; Rudolph Isley; Chris Jasper Performer(s): The Isley Brothers; Woody Cunningham
Moving down the highways of my life Makin' sure I stay to the right Moving down the highways of my life So I shan't be concerned With the other side of the road
Reading all the signs along the way Knowing where I am not what they say My destination's closer day by day So I can't concern With the other side of the road
Da da dop da da ah Down the highway da de ah Da da dop da da ah Down the highway da de ah Da da dop da da ah Down the highway da de ah Da da dop da de ah Down the highway da de ah
Leaving all the sorrows and the pain There's no love between us that remains Although you are the one You're not the same So the other side of the road Can only take me back home
Da da dop da da ah Down the highway da de da Da da dop da da ah Down the highway da de da Da da dop da da ah Down the highway da de da Da da dop da de ah Down the highway da de ah
