Cheryls Going Home
Composer(s): Bob Lind
Performer(s): Adam Faith
and multiple other artists
The thunder cracks against the night The dark explodes with a yellow light The railway sign is flashing bright The people stare but I dont care My flesh is cold against my bones And Cheryls going home
Come hear me shouting through the rain Is there a way to stop the train? Ive got some reasons to explain about the way I was today The whistle moans and Im alone And Cheryls going home
Santa Rose Specials down the line Im running desperately behind Theres only one thing on my mind The rain and tears are in my eyes The things I say will not be known And Cheryls going home
Ramona Composer(s): Mabel Wayne; L. Wolfe Gilbert Performer(s): Jim Reeves; and various other artists
I wander out yonder o'er the hills Where the mountains high, seem to kiss the sky Someone's up yonder o'er the hills Waiting patiently, waiting just for me
Ramona, I hear the mission bells above Ramona , they're ringing out our song of love I press you, caress you And bless the day you taught me to care I'll always remember The rambling rose you wore in your hair
Ramona, when the day is done you'll hear my call Ramona, we'll meet beside the waterfall I dread the dawn When I awake to find you gone Ramona, I need you, my own
Ramona, I hear the mission bells above Ramona , they're ringing out our song of love I press you, caress you And bless the day you taught me to care I'll always remember The rambling rose you wore in your hair
Ramona, when the day is done you'll hear my call Ramona, we'll meet beside the waterfall I dread the dawn When I awake to find you gone Ramona, I need you, my own

I'm feeling great And its easy to be strong When all the hearts keep on beating as one The sky is blue and I'm writing a new song Saying that I'm free, friendly and young

I love Belarus Got it deep inside I love Belarus Feel it in my mind And I wanna see the sun Shining from above
You will always be the one I cant get enough
I love Belarus Got it deep inside I love Belarus Feel it in my mind And I wanna see the sun Shining from above
And I'm gonna every day Give you all my love
So here I go and I'm ready to rise up Just like a star guiding me through the night I've got no fear and I will never give up love is all we need and it's our light
Time will not erase Courage and my grace I'm stronger every day I say

Rockefeller Street Composer(s): Sven Lõhmus First performance by: Getter Jaani - 2011
Daylight is fading away Night silhouettes in the sky LED lights are flashing on towers It`s Manhattans magical time
Ballerinas dancing the "Swan Lake" On a river made of diamonds and pearls Everything is a little bit weird now
Because tonight It is show time In the middle of the street life All we celebrate a good times Because tonight it is show time
Come and walk with me
1-2-7-3 down the Rockefeller street Life is marchin on do you feel that 1-2-7-3 down the Rockefeller street Everything is more than surreal
Oldschool Hollywood stars Party Cinderellas are here They move like computer game heroes
Because they know It is show time In the middle of the street life All they celebrate a good times Because tonight it is show time
So let`s keep movin' on
Ref.
So let`s keep movin' on
2x Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin', keep movin' If you want to know what Rockefeller groove is Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin', keep movin' Time is right to celebrate a good times

Rambling Rose Composer(s): Joseph Burke; Joseph Allan McCarthy Jr. Performer(s): Perry Como
Everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose she's a beauty growin' wild! Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best for mother nature's favourite child!
She's got the kind of affection that just winds around your heart! You better run for protection or she might upset your flower cart!
I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose is gonna meet her Waterloo! I let her play but she can't get away 'cause I know just what to do!
Anyone knows you can train a rose to be a clingin' vine! So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence 'round that ramblin' rose of mine!

No One Composer(s): Matja Vlaic - Ura Vlaic First performance by: Maja Keuc - 2011
And you came to me one night Like a morning light Just to hold me tight Then you left and I was so alone Saying I should've known You're no good for me
There's no reason I should cry No, no baby, I'll survive I don't care, I don't care
No one will ever hold you tight No one will ever love you like Just no one like I do There is no one, no one
No one will ever treat you right You're the one who's never satisfied There is no one like I, like I am
I can feel what you're looking for I'm not that girl no more I'm not made of stone I'm gonna stand on my own Not gonna break me down No one will stop me now
No, no, no, no... 'cause life is kind without you And I know I can make it through without you
Life goes all around Round and round and round I feel love for sure And it's gonna get you
Life goes all around Spinning all around Now you want me, don't you
No one will ever hold you tight (Hold you tight) No one will ever love you like (Love you like) Now you're back, I can feel your love Oh yeah, I'm never gonna let you No one will ever treat you right (Treat you right) You're the one who's never satisfied (Satisfied) After all, you can fall, And there's no one you can reach to
No one will ever, ever love you No one will ever, ever touch you No one will ever, ever hold you Turn around now, just turn around now If you love me, yeah No one like me, no one, no one

It's cherry pink and apple blossom white
When your true lover comes your way
It's cherry pink and apple blossom white
The poets say
The story goes that once a cherry tree
Beside an apple tree did grow
And there a boy once met his bride to be
Long long ago
The boy looked into her eyes, it was a sight to enthrall
The breezes joined in their sighs, the blossoms started to fall
And as they gently carressed, the lovers looked up to find
The branches of the two trees were intertwined
And that is why the poets always write
If there's a new moon bright above
It's cherry pink and apple blossom white
When you're in love
Rambling On Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
Our local picture house was showing a Batman movie You see this guy fly up in the sky thought to myself 'Why shouldn't I?' So I bought a pair of wings, went up upon a wall I was about to jump into the air when a guy from the street called He said, 'Hey wait a minute! Don't you realise the danger? What do you think you are, some kind of angel?'
I considered for a minute realised he spoke the truth For the barbells on my eyelids only emphasised my youth and the sawdust in my plimsolls means the same to him as me But that's neither here nor further so I spoke considerately 'Now if you understand just what I'm trying to say whatever you do, don't grin you'll give the game away!'
By now a crowd had gathered and it seemed that all was lost In the anger of the moment I had diced with death and lost It seemed to me the time was right so I burst into song In the anger of the moment the crowd began to sing along I could not see a way out of this predicament Just then a breeze came through the trees and up in the air I went
I must have flown a mile or maybe it was eight Thought to myself pretty soon I'd hit the Golden Gates Just then a passing bird for no reason I could see took a peck at my wings and that was the end of me I went down, hit the ground faster than the speed of sound Luckily I broke no bones only tore my underclothes
Ding Dong Composer(s): Dana International First performance by: Dana International - 2011
Maybe the good days Arrived already and they're here Just one more moment And everything is going to change And we'll love Oh, we'll love
If you have a dream of your own don't be afraid go on with your heart close your eyes and hear the bells of your soul Ding dong say no more I hear silent prayer and its making me high and fly I know where to go and I'm coming now
And maybe it's almost happening, it's close Now comes the turn of the good moment The pain of the heart turns around and leaves
Ding dong say no more I hear silent prayer and its making me high and fly I know where to go and I'm coming now Praise the day that brings the night Praise the time that will shine on you It will bring you salvation
Ding dong say no more I hear silent prayer and its making me high and fly I know where to go and I'm coming now
