Stay With Me Composer(s): Jerome Moross - Carolyn Leigh Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
Should my heart not be humble, should my eyes fail to see Should my feet sometimes stumble on the way, stay with me Like the lamb that in springtime wanders far from fold Comes the darkness and the frost, I get lost, I grow cold I grow cold, I grow weary, and I know I have sinned And I go seeking shelter and I cry in the wind And though I grope and I blunder and I kneel and I'm wrong Though the rose buckles under where I walk, walk along Till I find to my wonder every task least to see Or that I can do it, pray, stay with me Stay with me
Oh! Every evening hear him sing It's the cutest little thing With the cutest little swing Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo
Oh, simply meant for Kings and Queens Don't you ask me what it means I just love that Hitchy-koo Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo
Say he does it just like no-one could When he does it say he does it good Oh, every evening hear him sing It's the cutest little thing With the cutiest little swing Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo....

Love Or Leave Composer(s): Julija Ritcik First performance by: 4Fun - 2007
Stars in the sky When the shadows fall, when the sunlight dies Empty streets are filled with the pale lamplight We are just two lonely shades walking in the night
Words lose their sense When I feel you near, when I touch your hands I'm trying not to think that at break of dawn You'll be gone and I'll be lost, numb and all alone
When the morning comes, I'm all alone Left to live another day, in joy or sadness, on my own When the morning comes, I'm all alone Every time at break of dawn
Weak and unwise I betray all fears that I should disguise Melting in your arms, I fail to realise Why the mornings always change the colour of your eyes
When the morning comes, I'm all alone Every time at break of dawn
Love or leave, I'm with and without you How come I am up to this senseless game? How could I stop thinking about you? Love or leave, don't play with my heart again
Love or leave, I'm with and without you How come I am up to this senseless game? How could I stop thinking about you? Hey... love or leave, don't play with my heart again
Hitch A Ride Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston; Smokin'
Day is night in New York City Smoke, like water, runs inside Steel idle trees to pity Every living things that's died
Gonna hitch a ride Head for the other side Leave it all behind Never change my mind Gonna sail away Sun lights another day Freedom on my mind Carry me away for the last time Oh yeah
Life is like the coldest winter People freeze the tears I cry Words of hail their minds are into I've got to crack this ice and fly
Gonna hitch a ride Head for the other side Leave it all behind Never change my mind Gonna sail away Sun lights another day Freedom on my mind Carry me away for the last time Oh yeah
Gonna hitch a ride Head for the other side Leave it all behind Never change my mind Gonna sail away Sun lights another day Freedom on my mind Carry me away for the last time Oh yeah
Unsubstantial Blues Composer(s): Magdi Rúzsa - Imre Mózsik First performance by: Magdi Rúzsa - 2007
How many times have you fooled me and denied that It's her who you love, and it sure isn't me? So now that it's over, I'll try and take it sober Leave questions unasked, remember us laughing at the broken past God, if I could make it on without you
You're such a casual man, oh, wavin' an empty hand I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you Yes, you're a casual man, lendin' an empty hand Left me breathless with nothing more to lose
I used to dream we'd take it nice and easy Get jobs, settle down in Jameson Town If now you could see me, you'd think twice about leaving You said forever is the time you gonna spend around
So why did you leave me? And why should I believe it? You say goodbye Oh, why, oh... why you leave me? Said, why?
You're such a casual man, oh, wavin' an empty hand I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you You're such a casual man, lendin' an empty hand Left me breathless with nothing more to lose
Casual man, lendin' an empty hand Left me breathless with nothing more to lose Except an evanescent unsubstantial blues
Hit The Road Jack Composer(s): Percy Mayfield Performer(s): Ray Charles
Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back No more no more no more no more Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back No more What'd you say
Old woman old woman, oh you treat me so mean You're the meanest old woman that I ever have seen Well I guess if you say so I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Now Baby, listen Baby, don't you treat me this-a way 'Cause I'll be back on my feet some day Don't care if you do, 'cause it's understood You got no money, and you just ain't no good Well I guess if you say so I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Well ... Uh, what you say? I didn't understand you You can't mean that ... Aw now Baby Please What you trying to do to me!?

Hit The Ground Running Composer(s): Tim Finn Performer(s): Tim Finn
San Francisco New York City strangely silent strangely empty His graffiti filled the subway But where's my brother He could keep you up for hours in a town of wilting flowers I can more or less continue my life I can give in or I can try Hit the ground running Hit the ground running for your life Deadly virus so few survivors creeps up quickly leaves you darkly But where's my brother when you're standing shoulder to shoulder Fear and anger make you bolder I can more or less continue my life I can give in or I can try Hit the ground running Hit the ground running for your life He could keep you up for hours He could keep you up for hours I can more or less continue my life I can give in or I can try Hit the ground running Hit the ground running for your life I can always hit the street swaying but there's no one there to catch you when you fall Hit the ground running Hit the ground running for your life I went to the river on the Lower East Side cried and cried and cried and cried Went to the River on the Lower East Side I cry cry cry cry cried
Leave Me Alone Composer(s): Martti Vuorinen - Miikka Huttunen - Hanna Pakarinen First performance by: Hanna Pakarinen - 2007
I have to leave, but you are still sleeping There's nothing to say, our time has run out You took me to bed, that's what you were seeking But you don't even care what I am about
I wanna, I wanna wake you
Leave me alone, I wanna go home I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin' Leave me alone, I wanna go home The day will still come when I see you crying 'Cause you will get yours, just leave me alone
But what if I stay and wait till she comes home? She don't even know she loves you in vain The lies that you told will turn into sorrow I gotta go crazy just to stay sane
I wanna, I wanna break you
Leave me alone, I wanna go home I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin' Leave me alone, I wanna go home The day will still come when I see you crying 'Cause you will get yours, just leave me alone
I gotta, I gotta hate you
Leave me alone, I wanna go home I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin' Leave me alone, I wanna go home I couldn't care less if love just lies dying And this is goodbye, just leave me alone
Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song) Composer(s): Mitch Albom; Warren Zevon Performer(s): Warren Zevon
He was born in Big Beaver by the borderline He started playing hockey by the time he was nine His dad took the hose and froze the back yard And Little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard He grew up big and he grew up tough He saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks But he wasn't that good with a puck
Buddy's real talent was beating people up His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up Through pee-wee's and juniors, midgets and mites He must have racked up more than three hundred fights A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon Son, we've always got room for a goon"
There were Swedes to the left of him Russians to the right A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight Brains over brawn--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared When Buddy the goon came over the boards "Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals" The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role The fast guys get paid, they shoot, they score Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for
Protection is what you're here for Protection--it's the stars that score Protection--kick somebody's ass Protection--don't put the biscuit in the basket just Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears Blood on the ice ran down through the years The king of the goons with a box for a throne A thousand stitches and broken bones He never lost a fight on his icy patrol But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal He just wanted one damn goal
There were Swedes at the the blue line Finns at the red A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head Brains over brawn--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
In his final season, on his final night Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight Thirty seconds left, the puck took a roll And suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal
The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot Twenty years of waiting went into that shot The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too And coldcocked Buddy on his follow through The big man crumbled but he felt all right 'Cause the last thing he saw was the flashing red light He saw that heavenly light
There were Swedes to the left of him Russians to the right A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight Take care of your teeth--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do?

History Repeating Composer(s): Alex Gifford Performer(s): Shirley Bassey; and various other artists
The word is about, there's something evolving whatever may come, the world keeps revolving... They say the next big thing is here that the revolution's near But to me it seems quite clear that it's all just a little bit of history repeating
The newspapers shout a new style is growing but it don't know if it's coming or going there is fashion, there is fad some is good, some is bad and the joke rather sad that it's all just a little bit of History repeating
... and I've seen it before ... and I'll see it again ... yes I've seen it before ... just little bits of history repeating
Some people don't dance, if they don't know who's singing why ask your head, it's your hips that are swinging Life's for us to enjoy woman, man, girl and boy feel the pain, feel the joy aside set the little bits of history repeating
... just little bits of history repeating ... and I've seen it before ... and I'll see it again ... yes I've seen it before ... just little bits of history repeating
They Can't Stop The Spring Composer(s): John Waters - Tommy Moran First performance by: Dervish - 2007
The curtain has been raised, the wall no longer stands And from Lisadell to Latvia, we're singing as one clan The curtain has been raised, and Europe's all one stage And the archipelagic icicles have melted like the cage
We don't need no party, just a party band A continental choir singing hand in hand
They might scare the blackbird But they cannot stop him sing They may steal the honey But they'll never steal the sting They may crush the flowers Trample every living thing But they can't stop the spring
They might scare the blackbird But they cannot stop him sing They may steal the honey But they'll never steal the sting They may crush the flowers And trample every living thing But they can't stop the spring
They might scare the blackbird But they cannot stop him sing They may steal the honey But they'll never steal the sting They may crush the flowers And trample every living thing But they can't stop the spring
