    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

    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

    Et je serai si seul, mon vieux
    Oui, je serai si seul
    Oui, je serai si seul

    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
    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, 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
