Steppin' Out Composer(s): Paul Revere - Mark Lindsay Performer(s): Paul Revere & the Raiders
Well, I had to leave town because of Uncle Sam's deal, ha ha ha yeah Well, I guess my good lovin' done lost its appeal Because when I called back I heard a-bad bad news They say our big romance has been gettin' abuse Now tell the truth, don't lie to me Have you been step, step, step, step, step, step, steppin' out on me? I've got ways of findin' out if you've been steppin' out on me It's my turn, let me give you a piece of my mind
I told you once, I told you twice You're kind of rowdy after walkin' on ice Turn your loop in, do what I want you to do Stop your messin' now or I'm gonna step out on you Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey!
If I can't be your one & only man I'm gonna call your daddy to give him back your hand I'm gonna call the preacher, tell the choir stay home I guess you're the kind of woman that's just 'bout to roam Now tell me true, don't lie to me Have you been step, step, step, step, step, step, steppin' out on me? Tell the truth, child; you've been steppin' out on me I gotta know in my heart if you've been steppin' out on me I'll be checkin' with all your friends if you've been steppin' out on me Better tell me the truth honey; have you been steppin' out on me? Yeah I'm gonna check; no more stuff or I'll be steppin' out on you ...
Holiday In Waikiki Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
I won a competition in a little column in my local paper So I packed my bags and flew across the sea
all on my local paper I sailed to Hawaii in the U.S.A. I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki
I didn't realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my cases Because a genuine Hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas And even when I'm swimming I have to pay I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki Oh yeah, yeah
Across the coral sands I saw a hula hula dancer, looking pretty I asked her where she came from and she said to me "I come from New York City And my mother is Italian And my dad's a Greek" I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki
It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola And in a little shack they had a little sign that said Coca Cola And even all the grass skirts were PVC I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki Oh yeah, yeah
Im very fond of London town, its true But in the winter, Ill admit to you Whenever its a cold and foggy day I shiver and I feel inclined to say
Ill part with Piccadilly for any part of Chile For Leicester Square just give me Paraguay In Peckham I was paler, but not in Venezuela I want a land of sunshine and ole
Ill leave you Lords Pavillion For something more Brazilian South Kensington Ill swap for the Sante Fe Though Hampsteads cool and cleaner Ill pass for Argentina I want a land of sunshine and ole
With macheros, in their sombreros I will ride the burning pampas like a breeze Life will be sweeter with senoritas Who can bessame as mucho as they please
The Thames and other trivia Ill barter for Bolivia You have your Chelsea, Ill have Uruguay Ill trade you Potters Bar, sir, for Nicaragua, sir I want a land of sunshine and ole
But I am joking, though fog is choking I am a Londoner in spite of everything Winter weather cant last forever And I want to be in London in the spring
So, goodbye caballeros, thanks for your rancheros Id rather be in Mayfair any day Now I havent any option, Im a cockney by adoption So keep your land of sunshine and ole
Goodbye caballeros, senoritas, campaneros Maybe sometime Ill come for that holiday To your beautiful land of sunshine and ole
Steppin' In A Slide Zone Composer(s): John Lodge First release by: The Moody Blues
I took a ride in a limousine I took a road I'd never been I met a stranger by the way His coat was torn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone Steppin' in a slide zone
He told me where a river flows He showed me how the apple grows He told me of a magic stream His face was worn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone I could be steppin' in a slide zone Standing in a slide zone I could be steppin' through a time zone
He went to find a shooting star Around the bend, that's where they are I went along just for the ride Suddenly I began to slide
Standing in a slide zone I could be steppin' through a time zone
The air raced by there was no sound We drifted high above the ground And then he said you know this place And then a smile lit up his face
Standing in a slide zone I could be steppin' in a slide zone Standing in a slide zone I could be steppin' through a time zone
I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone... And there was something there I know Suddenly I began to fall I looked around and tried to call
Standing in a slide zone He had me steppin' in a time zone Standing in a slide zone Falling through a time zone
Help me please, I thought I said Then something happened in my head Music came from all around And I knew what I had found
Standing in a slide zone Falling through a time zone Steppin' in a slide zone He had me falling through a time zone Slide zone, slide zone Slide zone, time zone
Holiday Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb Performer(s): The Bee Gees; and various other artists
Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday It's something I think's worthwhile If the puppet makes you smile If not, then you're throwing stones Throwing stones, throwing stones
Oh, it's a funny game Don't believe that it's all the same Can't think what I've just said But there's something upon my head Millions of eyes can see Yet why am I so blind When the someone else is me It's unkind, it's unkind
It's a holiday, such a holiday You're a holiday, such a holiday You're a holiday, such a holiday You're a holiday, such a holiday You're a holiday, such a holiday
Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday It's something I think's worthwhile If the puppet makes you smile If not, then you're throwing stones Throwing stones, throwing stones
Oh, you're a holiday, everyday such a holiday Now, it's my turn to say and I say you're a holiday Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday

Stephanie Says (French Version: Je Rêve Encore De Toi - 1985) Composer(s): Lou Reed First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1985 Covered by multiple other artists
Stephanie says that she wants to know Why shes given half her life, to people she hates now Stephanie says when answering the phone What country shall I say is calling from across the world
But shes not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska Between worlds so the people ask her cause its all in her mind Its all in her mind
Stephanie says that she wants to know Why it is though shes the door she cant be the room
Stephanie says but doesnt hang up the phone What sea shell she is calling from across the world
But shes not afraid to die, the people all cal her Alaska Between worlds so the people ask her cause its all in her mind Its all in her mind
She asks you is it good or bad Its such an icy feeling its so cold in Alaska Its so cold in Alaska, its so cold in Alaska
Hole In The World Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Don Henley Performer(s): The Eagles
[Chorus:] There's a hole in the world tonight There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow There's a hole in the world tonight Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
They say that anger is just love disappointed They say that love is just a state of mind but all this fighting over who will be anointed Oh how can people be so blind
[Chorus:] There's a hole in the world tonight There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow There's a hole in the world tonight Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder cool water running through the burning sand until we we learn to love one another we never reach the promise land
[Chorus:] There's a hole in the world tonight There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow There's a hole in the world tonight Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
Je Rêve Encore De Toi (Adapted from: Stephanie Says - 1985) Composer(s): Lou Reed - Mirwais - Daniel Darc Performer(s): Taxi Girl - 1985
Un autre verre Une autre nuit Comment faire pour toublier Pour ne pas pleurer
Ni un autre verre Ni une autre nuit Comment faire pour ne pas tomber Pour ne pas crever
Tous ces mots que tu disais Je rêve de savoir quils étaient faux Mais maintenant il est trop tard
Je rêve encore de toi Je rêve encore de toi
Une autre ville Une autre vie Comment faire pour ne pas souhaiter Tout recommencer
Une autre fille Une dernière chance Comment faire pour y croire encore Juste un instant
Tous ces mots que tu disais Je rêve de savoir quils étaient faux Mais maintenant il est trop tard
Je rêve encore de toi Je rêve encore de toi
Jattendrais encore toute une nuit Et si jattends pour rien tant pis
Cest si dure daimer un rêve Cest si dure daimer en rêve Cest si dure daimer en rêve Cest si dure daimer en rêve Cest si dure daimer en rêve Cest si dure daimer en rêve Cest si dure daimer en rêve
Hole In My Shoe Composer(s): Dave Mason Performer(s): Traffic; and various other artists
I looked in the sky where an elephant's eye Was looking at me from a bubblegum tree And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe Which was letting in water (letting in water) (letting in water)
I walked through a field that just wasn't real With one hundred tin soldiers which stood at my shoulder And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe Which was letting in water (letting in water) (letting in water)
(Narration: I climbed on the back of a giant albatross What flew through a crack in the cloud To a place where happiness reigned all year round And music played ever so loudly)
I started to fall and suddenly woke And the dew on the grass had soaked through my coat And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe Which was letting in water (letting in water) (letting in water)
Disappear Composer(s): Remee - Hanne Sørvaag - Thomas Troelsen First performance by: No Angels - 2008
On and on I've tried to move it along (It won't stop) Tried to find the strength to turn it around (It won't stop) Everything's been off since you went away And time just broke the promise to ease the pain
'Cause I need you here And it's just not fair That it won't get better Why did you disappear?
And we got nowhere But it won't stop there Though you're gone forever I can't make you disappear
Crashing, breaking memories in my mind (It won't stop) Never ever close to getting it right (It won't stop) Best time of my life, now it's washed away Still the stars, they know how to spell your name
'Cause I need you here And it's just not fair That it won't get better Why did you disappear?
And we got nowhere But it won't stop there Though you're gone forever I can't make you disappear
'Cause you got into my heart of stone And I don't do well here on my own Now the silence keeps me up at night And I can't get used to being all alone
'Cause I need you here And it's just not fair That it won't get better Why did you disappear?
And we got nowhere But it won't stop there Though you're gone forever I can't make you disappear
Step Out Of Your Mind Composer(s): Al Gorgoni - Chip Taylor Performer(s): The American Breed
You gotta get out of your head You gotta step out of your mind
You gotta be able to bend your brain If you wanna get on in this world And you've got to be just a little insane If you wanna get on in this world
Do your living in a comic book Be a Superman or a Captain Hook ah-ah-ah ... yeah! ah-ah-ah ... yeah!
You gotta get out of your head You gotta step out of your mind
You gotta be able to blow your cool If you wanna get on in this world You can't be afraid to be some kind of fool If you wanna get on in this world
Do your living in a crazy dream Be a hero on a movie screen ah-ah-ah ... yeah! ah-ah-ah ... yeah!
You gotta get out of your head You gotta step out of your mind
Jump jump, out of your head Step step, out of your mind Jump jump, out of your head Step step, out of your mind Jump jump, out of your head Step step, out of your mind Jump jump, out of your head Step step, out of your mind
Holding Out For A Hero Composer(s): Dean Pitchford; Jim Steinman Performer(s): Bonnie Tyler
Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where's the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need
I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
(Chorus)
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I would swear that there's someone somewhere Watching me
Through the wind end the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach Like the fire in my blood
Even If Composer(s): Andy Abraham - Andy Watkins - Paul Wilson First performance by: Andy Abraham - 2008
You're keeping me fascinated No, I ain't running all over town I feel so intoxicated I'm struggling to keep my feet on the ground
I'm not playing, girl This ain't no game at all And for the first time I'm not looking for love
So come here, baby, listen to me I just want ya to believe me
Even if the world stops lovin' I could never stop lovin' you Even if the sun stops risin' I still wanna wake up with you Yeah...
Even if my heart was breakin' I could never break your heart too Even if all words lost their meaning You would understand I love you Yes, I do
Your sensuality thrills me It strips me to my soul As your reality cures me Your lovin' takes a hold I'm barely in control
I'm not pretending, girl That ain't what's goin' on There's no room for lies Ain't no room at all
So come here, baby, listen to me I just want ya to believe me
(Even if the world stops lovin') I could never stop lovin' you Even if the sun stops risin' I still wanna wake up with you
Even if my heart was breakin' I could never break your heart too, no, no Even if all words lost their meaning You would understand I love you Yes, I do
(Break it down, break it down) (Girl, you gotta know) Yes, I do (We got to break it down, break it down) (It's time to feel the flow) Hey yeah...
(Break it down, break it down) (Girl, you gotta know) Help me break it down (We got to break it down, break it down) (It's time to feel the flow) Ooh yeah...
(Even if the world stops lovin') (I could never stop lovin' you) I could never stop lovin' you (Even if the sun stops risin') (I still wanna wake up with you) I will always wake up, baby
Even if my heart was breakin' (I could never break your heart too) Aha, aha, aha baby, baby Even if all words lost their meaning You would understand I love you
Holding On To Nothing Composer(s): Jerry Chestnut Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Loretta Lynn
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold on to I'm so tired of holding on to nothin' The years have shown no kindness
for the hard times that we've been through We've squeezed the life from every dream and still go right on bluffin' With really nothing left to hold on to
Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold on to Let's be honest with each other that's at least that we can do I feel guilty when they envy me and you We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
We were young and foolishly mistaken Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin' God only knows how long how hard we've tried
Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold on to Let's be honest with each other that's at least that we can do I feel guilty when they envy me and you We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
Step Inside This House Composer(s): Guy Clark Performer(s): Travis Collins
That picture hangin' on the wall Was painted by a friend He gave it to me all down and out When he owed me ten Now it doesn't look like much I guess But it's all that's left of him And it sure is nice from right over here When the light's a little dim
Step inside my house Babe I'll sing for you a song I'll tell you 'bout where I've been It shouldn't take too long I'll show you all the things I own My treasures you might say Couldn't be more'n ten dollars worth But they brighten up my day
Here's a book of poems I got From a girl I used to know I guess I read it front to back Fifty times or so It's all about the good life And stayin' at ease with the world It's funny how I love that book And I never loved that girl
Hold this piece of glass Up to the light comin' through the door It's a prism glass I found on the road Can you see that little rainbow Well it's not really a prism I guess It just broke in a funny way I found it on my way from Texas Headed for L.A.
This guitar was given me By old man Thomas Gray It's not too much to look at But I pick it every day It's been across the country Four or five times I guess Between me and old man Tom It never got much rest
Well that's about all I own And all I care to I guess Except this pair of boots And that funny yellow vest And that leather jacket and leather bag And hat hangin' on the wall Just so it's not too much to carry Could I see you again next Fall
Holding Her And Loving You Composer(s): Walt Aldridge; Tom Brasfield Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley; Clay Walker
It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do Leaving here without you And the second hardest thing I'll ever do Is telling her about you She's been good to me when things were going rough How can I tell her now that good ain't good enough The hardest thing I'll ever have to do Is holding her and loving you If she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone But she ain't done one thing wrong So don't expect me just to walk out of the door I still love her but I love you more She's been good to me when things weren't going right She made my days long before you made my nights
The hardest thing I'll ever have to do Is holding her and loving you Girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do Is holding her and loving you
