A Linda Song
Composer(s): Enoch Anderson - Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



He never wrote a song for Linda
He wrote as though he lived alone
He wrote of dreams that end
And of sad brave men
Inventing worlds he'd never known

But he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
Loved him back to life
When his luck ran low
But he never wrote a Linda song

He nearly broke his heart at writing
Linda kept him from despair
Standing' by his side
through the hungry days
But he hardly seemed to see her there

And he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
The one real thing in his crazy world
And he never wrote a Linda song.

When the bills piled up
He couldn't pay
He couldn't dream no more
So he hitched a ride and he rode away
And he left a note for Linda by the door
By the door

When times got rough he'd phone her
Once or twice she took the call
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
And Linda never looked back at all

He'll never write a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
All he knows is no one understands
And he never wrote a Linda song
No he never wrote a Linda song

Hope You're Feeling Better
Composer(s): Gregg Rolie
Performer(s): Santana;
Zlatko Brodaric; Mother Earth; Vallejo



Is that you
Your eyes slowly fading?
Is that you
Your mind full of tears?
Is that you
Searching for a good time?
Is that you
Waiting for all these years?

Chorus:
And I hope you're feeling better
Yes I hope you're feeling good
Yes I hope you're feeling better

Is that you?
Look across the ocean
Is that you
Thinking nothing is really there?
Is that you
Waiting for the sunshine?
Is that you
When all you see is glare?

Chorus

Is that you
Who never saw your baby?
Is that you
Who never had a friend?
Is that you
Moving to a new town?
Is that you
Will diamonds replace your friends?

Light In The Black
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Ronnie James Dio
Performer(s): Rainbow; Niji Densetsu



Can't forget his face, what a lonely place
Has he really let us go

All the time that's lost
What's the final cost, will I really get away
All my life it seems just a crazy dream 

Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all, did he really fall

What to do now I don't know
Something is called me back
There's a light in the black
Am I ready to go

I'm coming home breather the air before
Heard the thunder roar, never knew it was for me
Always looking down, lost and never found
Eyes that looked but not to see
All my life it seems just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Like and open door, that you're passed before
But you've never had the key
Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Am I ready to go

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm going back to my home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm coming back
Won't forget his face, what a lonely place
Did he really let us go

Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all, did he really fall

What to do now, well, I know
Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Yes, I'm ready to go
I'm here to stay
Here I will stay, I'll stay, I'll stay

Hope For Happiness
Composer(s): Kevin Ayers; Brian Hopper; Mike Ratledge
Performer(s): The Soft Machine;
and various other artists



I can tell... like the ring of a bell
A chime that is clear and true
But if a crack, the sound is flat
Like happiness... that's become untrue

Out of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my way

Days go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the rest

Sun heart burns, moon glow turns
Stars will trade hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

Flowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloom

Tell can you now how fun is made?
It's how happiness is really found
Look for advice, be told more than twice
By people all around

Sun heart burns, moon glow turns
Stars will trade hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

A Lifetime Of Loneliness
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon; Steve Alaimo



Any day now I will hear you say "Goodbye, my love"
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now I'll be all alone, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Oh my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now I'll be all alone

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay-ay
Until you go forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay

Any day now when the clock strikes "Go"
You'll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down cuz you won't be around

Don't fly away, my beautiful bird
Don't, don't fly away

Hope Fell Down
Composer(s): Chris Difford; Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze



You're banging your drum
You blow your own trumpet
Your ship came in
And your fanfare sunk it
The tide has turned
Our love's gone forever
I stand on the shore
As it floats down the river

[Chorus]
I had such hopes
I had such visions planned
The frames were shot
But now our future's canned
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down

I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
I'm banging my head
You watch without malice
(You watch with no
interest at all)
I bet all your friends
Compare this to Dallas
(I might as well talk
to a brick wall)
So under the arm
I feel the cold shoulder
So I'll once again
Have to play the wild rover

[Chorus]

Do I need all this pressure
Do I bury my temper
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down

A Life Of Illusion
Composer(s): Joe Walsh - Kenny Passarelli
First release by: Joe Walsh - 1981



Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm 
Living a life of illusion 
And oh, why can't we let it be 
And see thru the hole in this wall of confusion 
I just can't help the feeling I'm 
Living a life of illusion 

Pow, right between the eyes 
Oh, how nature loves her little surprises 
Wow, it all seems so logical now 
It's just one of her better disguises 
And it comes with no warning 
Nature loves her little surprises 
Continual crisis 

Hey, don't you know it's a waste of your day 
Caught up in endless solutions 
That have no meaning, just another hunch 
Based upon jumping conclusions 
Caught up in endless solutions 
Backed up against a wall of confusion 
Living a life of illusion

Hootin' Owl Blues
Performer(s): Porter Grainger



Midnight on a Sunday, and the clock struck thirteen times
It was midnight on a Sunday 
and the clock struck thirteen times
I was scared and I was frightened, 'cause I sure believe them signs

Lord, I heard the owl a-hootin', I knowed somebody was 'bout to die
Said, I heard the owl a-hootin', I knowed somebody was 'bout to die
Put my head down 'neath the covers, started in to moan and cry

Then early in the morning, the picture on the wall fell down
It was early in the morning, the picture on the wall fell down
And 'tain't no use in talkin', somebody sure is graveyard bound

Hound dogs started howlin', somebody's sure to leave this land
Hound dogs started howlin', somebody's sure to leave this land
Take who you want to, Lordy, but please don't take away my man

Lord, I knows I'm black and ugly, but he's so doggone good and fine
I knows I'm black and ugly, but he's so doggone good and fine
Lord, take 'most anybody, but please don't take this man of mine

Ouais
Mon amour vient de partir
Je sais où je vais mourir
Au fond d'une rue aux murs mouillés
À l'Hôtel des cœurs brisés

Et je serai si seul, mon vieux
Et je serai si seul
Oh! Je serai si seul
À en mourir

Ouais
Des larmes du groom coulent sans cesse
Le portier est tout en noir
Car ils sont restés dans la détresse
On ne pourra plus jamais les revoir

Et ils se sentent si seuls, mon vieux
Ouais, ils se sentent si seuls
Oh, ils se sentent si seuls
Qu'ils pourraient mourir

Ouais
L'hôtel est toujours complet
Mais je sais qu'il y a une place
Pour ceux qui ont le cœur brisé
Par un amour déchiré

Et ils se sentent si seuls, mon vieux
Ouais, ils se sentent si seuls
Ils se sentent si seuls
À en mourir

Ouais
Si ton amour va partir
Que tu choisis de mourir
Va dans la rue aux murs mouillés
À l'Hôtel des cœurs brisés

Où tu seras si seul, mon vieux
Où tu seras si seul
Où tu seras si seul
À en mourir

Ouais
Mon amour vient de partir
Je sais où je vais mourir
Au fond d'une rue aux murs mouillés
À l'Hôtel des cœurs brisés

Et je serai si seul, mon vieux
Oui, je serai si seul
Oui, je serai si seul
À en mourir

A Letter To You
Composer(s): Dennis Linde
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens



I tore my letter up
I couldn't even start
To tell you what's really in my heart
There's only so much that words can say
So I sent you a piece of this beautiful day
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took some flowers in the spring
made a sweet clover ring
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took a song from the lark - the moon from the dark

A spark with the sparkling dew
VVith a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
I sent 'em off in a letter to you
I took the mornin' sun peekin' through the trees
And the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze
I folded 'em up - sealed 'em with a kiss

It's the kind of letter that you can't resist
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow . . .

In a day or two - just you wait and see

You're gonna get a special delivery
You'll know the way I feel 
There can't be any doubt
When you open it up
And let the love spill out

Oh
I want you to know
That I took a rainbow . . .
You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you
You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you. . . .

Hooray For Hollywood
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Richard Whiting
Performer(s): Johnny 'Scat' Davis;
and various other artists



Hooray for Hollywood
That screwy ballyhooey Hollywood
Where any office boy or young mechanic can be a panic
With just a good looking pan
And any barmaid can be a star maid
If she dances with or without a fan

Hooray for Hollywood
Where you're terrific if you're even good
Where anyone at all from Shirley Temple to Aimee Semple
Is equally understood
Go out and try your luck, you might be Donald Duck
Hooray for Hollywood

Hooray for Hollywood
That phoney super-Coney Hollywood
They come from Chillicothes and Paducas with their bazookas
To get their names up in lights
All armed with photos from local rotos
With their hair in ribbon and legs in tights

Hooray for Hollywood
You may be homely in your neighbourhood
But if you think that you can be an actor, see Mr. Factor
He'll make a monkey look good
Within a half an hour you'll look like Tyrone Power
Hooray for Hollywood

Hooray for Hollywood

A Letter To Myself
Composer(s): Sandra Drayton - Eugene Record
Performer(s): The Chi-Lites; Mike Oreilly; J.D. Smooth



Write a letter, write another letter
Write a letter, write another letter
I'm sealing up this letter
I just finished signing your name
My friends would all be surprised
If they knew I was playing this game
I'll pretend it's a special delivery
And just to give me a hint
I'll use your favorite color
Smear it with your favorite scent
I know you think that I'm crazy
But I can't loose what have I left
So I've decided to write this letter
And send it to myself
So to make my story short
In the mail box I will kiss
This letter that I wrote
And it's stamped with your lovely face
When I'm alone
And I need someone to talk to
I talk to your picture
Get me a pencil and paper
And write all the things
Say all the things I've heard you say before
But with a little extra, extra read all about it
Sugar and spice
I guess it makes me feel kind of nice
I write a letter to myself
Oh, write another letter to myself
I write another letter to myself
Oh, write another letter to myself
When is a home when you're all alone
It seems so full
It seems so full
And yet so empty
Oh, I get my coat
Leave you a note and go to the places
Where we used to be
I pretend you are there
Order dinner for two
Your presence is all in the air
(repeat)

I write a letter to myself, oh, write another letter to myself

Hooray For Hazel
Composer(s): Tommy Roe
Performer(s): Tommy Roe



Hooray for Hazel, she put me down
Hooray for Hazel, she made me her clown
Hooray for Hazel, she's up to her tricks
Hooray for Hazel, she's gettin' her kicks

Hazel's been in love with many a guy
She tells them that she loves 'em and then says goodbye
Hooray for Hazel, I'm now on her list
I'm just another fool that couldn't resist
(repeat chorus)

Hazel never feels any pity or shame
A broken heart is just a part of her evil game
Hooray for Hazel, she did it again
I'll join the ranks of broken hearts that she put me in
(repeat chorus)

Hazel only does things she wants to do
She's selfish and spoiled and she knows that she's cute
Hooray for Hazel, she still gets her way
But there's a time a-comin' we'll be able to say

Hooray for Hazel, there's tears in her eyes
Hooray for Hazel, she know how to cry
Hooray for Hazel, she's meek as a dove 
Hooray for Hazel, she's beggin' for love
Hooray for Hazel, there's tears in her eyes
Hooray for Hazel, she know how to cry

A Letter From Betty
Composer(s): B. Feldman - J. Goldstein - Gottehrer
Performer(s): Bobby Vee



I got a letter from the mailman yesterday
It came from Betty and was postmarked far away
I felt so good until I looked inside
I read that letter and I cried

he said, dear, Bobby
Just a line to say hello
We've been such good friends
You should be the first to know

I fell in love
My dreams have all come true
And, Bobby, he's so much like you

He swept me off my feet
I'd never thought I'd meet
Someone else who'd be so good to me

I know someday you'll find
Someone to love you true
You'll fall in love and then
You'll feel just like I do

So long for now
Write me soon, goodbye
I read that letter and I cried

I love her so
But now she'll never know
My golden chance has passed me by

I waited much too long
Now he's come along
This letter from Betty means goodbye

Whoa, oh, oh, oh
This letter from Betty means goodbye
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
This letter from Betty means goodbye

Hooray For Captain Spaulding
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar; Harry Ruby
Performer(s): Groucho Marx, Zeppo Marx, 
Margaret Dumont & Chorus



(All)
At last we are to meet him
The famous Captain Spaulding
From climates hot and scalding
The Captain has arrived

Most heartily we'll greet him
With plain and fancy cheering
Until he's hard of hearing
The Captain has arrived
At last - The Captain has arrived

(Hives)
Mr. Horatio W. Jamison, Field Secretary to Captain Spaulding

(Jamison)
I represent the Captain who insists on my informing you of these conditions under which he camps here
In one thing he is very strict, he wants his women young and picked and as for men 
he won't have any tramps here

(All)
As for men he won't have any tramps here
There must be no tramps

(Jamison)
The men must all be very old
The women warm, the champagne cold
It's under these conditions that he camps here

(Voice off Screen)
I'm announcing Captain Jeffery Spaulding

(All)
He's announcing Captain Jeffery Spaulding

Oh dear, he is coming
At last he's here

(Spaulding)
Hello, I must be going
I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going
I'm glad I came, but just the same I must be going
La La

(Mrs. Rittenhouse)
For my sake you must stay
If you should go away
You'd spoil this party I am throwing

(Spaulding)
I'll stay a week or two
I'll stay the summer thru
But I am telling you
I must be going

(All)
Before you go
Will you oblige us
And tell us of your deeds so glowing?

(Spaulding)
I'll do anything you say
In fact I'll even stay!

(All)
Good!

(Spaulding)
But I must be going

(Jamison)
There's something that I'd like to say
That he's too modest to relay
The Captain is a moral man
Sometimes he finds it trying

(Spaulding)
This fact I emphasize with stress
I never take a drink unless - Somebody's buying

(All)
The Captain is a very moral man

(Jamison)
If he hears anything obscene 
He'll naturally repel it

(Spaulding)
I hate a dirty joke I do
Unless it's told by someone who 
Knows how to tell it

(All)
The Captain is a very moral man
Hooray for Captain Spaulding 
The African explorer

(Spaulding)
Did someone call me Shnorrer?

(All)
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray

(Jamison)
He went into the jungle where all the monkeys throw nuts

(Spaulding)
If I stay here I'll go nuts

(All)
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray
He put all his reliance 
In courage and defiance
And risked his life for science

(Spaulding)
Hey, hey

(Mrs. Rittenhouse)
You are the only white man to cover every acre

(Spaulding)
I think I'll try and make her

(All)
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray
He put all his reliance 
In courage and defiance
And risked his life for science

(Spaulding)
Hey, hey

(All)
Hooray for Captain Spaulding 
The African explorer
He brought his name undying fame
And that is why we say 
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray

(Spaulding attempts to speak)
My friends, I am highly gratified at this magnificent display of effusion and I want you to know.........

(All)
Hooray for Captain Spaulding 
The African explorer
He brought his name undying fame
And that is why we say 
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray

(Spaulding)
My friends, I am highly gratified at this magnificent display of effusion and I want you to know.........

Hooray for Captain Spaulding 
The African big hero..... 

Well, somebody's got to do it!

À L'enseigne De La Fille Sans Coeur
Composer(s): Jean Villard
Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Barbara



Le ciel est bleu, le vent du large
Creuse la mer bien joliment
Vers le port, montant à la charge
Galopent seize escadrons blancs
C'est un port tout au bord du monde
Dont les rues s'ouvrent sur l'infini
Mais de là, comme la terre est ronde
On ne voit pas les États-Unis

Tout le monde s'en fout, 'y a du bonheur
'y a un bar chez Rita la blonde
Tout le monde s'en fout, 'y a du bonheur
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Cœur!
L'accordéon joue en majeur
Les refrains de ce vaste monde
'y a la belle blonde
Cette rose en fleur
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Cœur

Dans ce petit bar, c'est là qu'elle règne
On voit flamber sa toison d'or
Sa bouche est comme un fruit qui saigne
Mais on dit que son cœur est mort
Pourtant les gars sont là, tout drôles 
Les p'tits, les durs, les malabars
Qui entrent en roulant des épaules
'y en a qui sont venus d'Dakar

'y en a d'Anvers, 'y en a d'Honfleur
Bourlinguant parfois jusqu'aux pôles
Ils la regardent, c'est tout leur bonheur
Mais pas un ne connaît ses faveurs
L'accordéon joue en majeur
Tous les airs: les tristes, les drôles...
'y a des gars qui jouent leur bonheur
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Cœur

Le patron connaissait la musique 
Il aimait le son des écus
Il disait à sa fille unique 
"Fuis l'amour, c'est du temps perdu!"
Mais un soir, la mer faisait rage...
On vit entrer un étranger
Aux beaux yeux d'azur sans nuages
C'est alors que tout a changé...

Il a regardé la fille sans cœur
Elle était comme un ciel d'orage
Quelqu'un a fait: "'y a un malheur"
On entendait battre les cœurs
L'accordéon joue en mineur
Un refrain dans le vent sauvage
'y a une fille, le visage en pleurs
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Cœur

Il a dit: "C'est toi, ma divine!"
Elle répondit: "Je suis à toi..."
Il l'a serrée sur sa poitrine
Elle a pleuré entre ses bras
Les autres alors, mélancoliques
Sont partis avec un soupir...
Le vent chantait sur l'Atlantique
Pour ce cœur qui venait de s'ouvrir

Ils ont filé vers leur grand bonheur
Le patron dut fermer boutique
On l'a vu boire toutes ses liqueurs
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Cœur
Oui, mais l'État, cet accapareur
Qu'a toujours le sens du comique
A mis le bureau du Percepteur
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Cœur...

A Lei
Performer(s): Anna Oxa



A lei che sa capirti
come sei
a lei che non tradì
a lei che dice si
quando vuoi
a lei che spazza via
la tua malinconia
per me
facendoti l'amore
togliendoti il bicchiere 
Lo so

Tu con lei vola più su
vola in alto come sai tu
vecchie cose dentro di me
l'ombra di un uomo che assomiglia a te

Lei che prende lei che da
lei che vince lei che ha
lei che ride lei che c'e'
tutte le volte che volevi me

A lei, la tua, la sola grande idea
a lei che aggiusta il cuore
a lei che ti fa dire
quel che vuoi
a lei che mi sorride
per strada se mi vede 
Ma si!

A lei che a luce spente
confondi nella mente 
con me
dietro lei cammini tu
senza lei non vivi più
dillo a lei a lei che non sa
com'eri prima di incontrare lei

Lei che sogna lei che da
lei che viene lei che non va
lei che vive lei che c'e'
tutte le volte che cercavi me

Hooked On You
Composer(s): Joe Malloy; David Sanchez
Performer(s): Sweet Sensation



I can't explain what I'm going through
Wish I could find the right words to say
Losing control and it's over you
Nobody else could make me feel this way
Could it just be that I'm curious
And I want to make you play my game
But something tells me that it's serious
Because I go insane when I hear your name

I'm hooked on you
I'm hooked on you, what can I do
It's over you

I try to hide it but I know it's true
My body trembles when I look in your eyes
I'm so turned on, I don't know what to do
It seems a touch can make my tempature rise
Could it just be that I'm curious
And I want to make you play my game
But something tells me that it's serious
Because I go insane when I hear your name

I'm hooked on you
I'm hooked on you, you make me feel so good, what can I do
It's over you
I'm hooked on you
I'm needing you baby
I'm hooked on you, I'm needing you baby, what can I do
Won't you say you love me

What can I do, it's over you

Days go warm, and nights go cold
You are the one I need to hold
Try decide, this love is made
Loving you can set me free
I'm hooked on you can't you see
Hearts on fire
Higher, higher
Nobody else can make me feel the way that you do

Could it be that this time love has taken all control
You're the one who's touch I need, the one I need to hold
Could it be that this time love has taken all control
I'm hooked on you, you're the one I need to hold
What can I do, it's over you

A Legal Matter
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release by: The Who - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
But I've freed my head from your garden rails

Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

My mind's lost in a household fog
Wedding gowns and catalogues
Kitchen furnishings and houses
Maternity clothes and baby's trousers

Now it's a legal matter, baby
Marrying is no fun
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
Well, I've freed my head from your garden rails

Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

You ain't the first and you ain't the last
I gain and lose my women fast
I never want to make them cry
I just get bored, don't ask me why

Just want to keep doing all the dirty little things I do
And not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you
Sorry, baby
