Coming Home Composer(s): Sigurjón Brink - Thorunn Clausen First performance by: Sigurjóns Friends - 2011
Some say Im a bit of a fool sitting on a hill and counting raindrops Keep thinking I just wanna go to the peaceful place I know that I call home
But oh oh oh its time to go, Ill see you, Ill see you soon
'Cause I cant wait for tomorrow to say the things I wanna say your smile will always lead my way I cant wait, Im coming soon I just wanna see your face again
Some say Im a bit of a fool Driving down the road I stop to listen I hear your laughter in the trees your whisper in the breeze my love is you
But oh oh oh its time to go, Ill see you, Ill see you soon
I cant wait for tomorrow to say the things I wanna say your smile will always lead my way I cant wait, Im coming soon I just wanna see your face again
'Cause no one, knows his where or when When my time on earth comes to an end then Ill find you and I know that you will be my love again
I cant wait for tomorrow to say the things I wanna say your smile will always lead my way I cant wait, Im coming soon I just wanna see your face again
Cause I cant wait for tomorrow to say the things I wanna say your smile will always lead my way I cant wait, Im coming home to you I just wanna see your face again Im coming home

St'ammore mme teneva 'ncatenato
ma ho detto: "Basta!" e mme só' liberato...
Mme pare cchiù turchino 'o cielo
mme pare cchiù lucente 'o mare...
e 'o core canta p''a felicitá!
Chella llá, chella llá...
mo va dicenno ca mme vò' lassá...
Se crede ca mme faccio 'o sango amaro
se crede ca 'mpazzisco e po' mme sparo!
Chella llá, chella llá...
Nun sape che piacere ca mme fa...
Mme ne piglio n'ata cchiù bella
e zetèlla restarrá...
Chella llá, chella llá, chella llá!
Ajere, mm'ha mannato nu biglietto
p''a figlia d''o purtiere dirimpetto
Mme scrive ca nun è felice
e ca vurría, cu me, fá pace...
ma io mme stó' gustanno 'a libbertá!
Chella llá, chella llá...
mo va dicenno ca mme vò' lassá...
Se crede ca mme faccio 'o sango amaro
se crede ca 'mpazzisco e po' mme sparo!
Chella llá, chella llá...
Nun sape che piacere ca mme fa...
Mme ne piglio n'ata cchiù bella
e zetèlla restarrá...
Chella llá, chella llá, chella llá!
Raining On The Rock Composer(s): John Williamson Performer(s): Rolf Harris; John Williamson
Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold We've just come out of the Mulga
where the plains forever roll And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes And a shower has changed the lustre of our land
And it's raining on the Rock In a beautiful country And I'm proud to travel this big land As an Aborigine And it's raining on the Rock What an almighty sight to see And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me
Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose Where does their beauty come from heaven knows I could ask the wedge-tail but he's away too high I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly
It cannot be described with a picture The mesmerising colours of the Olgas Or the grandeur of the Rock Uluru has power!
And it's raining on the Rock In a beautiful country And I'm proud to travel this big land As an Aborigine And it's raining on the Rock What an almighty sight to see And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me
Stand By Composer(s): Radiosa Romani First performance by: Senit - 2011
Oh, the sea
Waves of eternity, waves of serenity As I stare through them all around me just dies Tonight I will pretend there's no more time? Let's lock our doors and leave this endless world outside
But if you don't mind, I will be here Holding back those years that pass us by And in a natural high, you hold my hand, we'll take a breath So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by
Oh, this life, something so beautiful but hard in the same time Taught me could be gone in a blink of an eye Tonight can we pretend there's no more time? Let's lock our doors and leave this endless world outside
If you don't mind, I will be here Holding back those years that pass us by
And in a natural high, you hold my hand, we'll take a breath So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by (I will be here) Holding back, holding back (Years that pass us by) And in a natural high you'll hold my hand, we'll take a breath
Cheeseburger In Paradise
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and multiple other artists
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits Made it nearly seventy days Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheat But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
Cheeseburger in paradise Heaven on earth with an onion slice Not too particular, not too precise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
Heard about the old time sailor men They eat the same thing again and again Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn But times have changed for sailors these days When I'm in port I get what I need Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris But that American creation on which I feed
Cheeseburger in paradise Medium rare with mustard be nice Heaven on earth with an onion slice I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer Well good God almighty which way do I steer for my
Cheeseburger in paradise Makin' the best of every virtue and vice Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a Cheeseburger in paradise
I need a cheeseburger in paradise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Peter is smart, he knows each European country by heart He likes to sit under an apple tree on his yard And wait for an apple to fall When Peter is nine, his teacher tells him that this planet is dying That someone needs to put an end to it all And so when Peter comes home, he tells his mom
I'm going out in the world to save our planet And I ain't coming back until she's saved I'll walk my way to see the king and parliament If they don't help, I'll do it by myself I don't wanna be... Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Peter is young, he tries to talk, but no one listens to him Everybody's busy living and dying, not thinking about what they're doing But look at the boy who went out in the world to save our planet And he ain't coming back until she's saved He walked his way to see the king and parliament But they all turned their heads and walked away, singing
And now I'm going out in the world to save our planet And I ain't coming back until she's saved I'm walking in the footsteps that young Peter made And everybody is welcome to join, and sing with me

Raindrops keep falling on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed Nothing seems to fit Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun And I said I didn't like the way he got things done Sleeping on the job Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing I know The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red Crying's not for me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining Because I'm free Nothing's worrying me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red Crying's not for me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining Because I'm free Nothing's worrying me
One More Day Composer(s): DJ BE$$ - DJ Rock - Mikheil Chelidze First performance: Eldrine - 2011
After the day I met you there I am not the same I try to sleep but nothing helps me feel insane Passion game that I play gonna last another day Another night Ill be there in my dreams again and again
I wanna give it on fire Uncover vicious desire Abandon painful denial Find every reason to stay
Another forbidden sensation Another emotional flare Down with the fake hesitation Gee, yeah, - I am ready to pay Pay for the hopeless despair Gonna live one more day of my fate
Here I am standing with my determination (I) remember when I used to be one of those silly fellows kind of really dont care and I realized all my thoughts and all my fears (around me) you wanted to know what I felt and you got it right there Turn around, all the words of regrets and seize the chance to find the way so I can be raised I am lame, psycho from the brain, there is nothing I can do, that s the part of the game
Out of such foolish state gonna find no other way
Make way cause its all about the shame
Feel no shame, cause I live another day again
I wanna give it on fire Uncover vicious desire Abandon painful denial Find every reason to stay Another forbidden sensation One more emotional flare Down with the fake hesitation Hell, yeah, - I am ready to pay Pay for the hopeless desire
Turn back in the days when you desired and craved and all the way you felt just like burned in the flame

I can see by your grin That you're trembling within It's all over town, cheer down And the smile on your face Is sometimes out of place Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down
If your hair should fall If your shares should crash You'll get by even without getting a rash
There's no tears to be shed I'm gonna love you instead I want you around, cheer down
When your teeth drop out You'll get by even without taking a bite
If your dog should be dead I'm gonna love you instead The world loves a clown, cheer down I want you around, cheer down
