That Sounds Good To Me Composer(s): Pete Waterman - Mike Stock First performance by: Josh - 2010
How do I begin to imagine all the happy faces I'd like to see? The final destination, with sounds of celebration If I could find the opportunity
So I wonder, who can I turn to? Who can make these wishes and dreams come true? And with you there beside me And loving hands to guide me Anything is possible to do
So if you bring the sunshine I'll bring the good times Just add your laughter It's happy ever after I don't know 'bout you But that sounds good to me
I can feel it coming together All the loving working so very well There's nothing left to do now Gonna see it through now And we can let the future write itself
Baby, if you bring the sunshine I'll bring the good times Just add your laughter It's happy ever after I don't know 'bout you But that sounds good to me Oh...
(So if you bring the sunshine) You bring the sunshine (I'll bring the good times) I'll bring the good times Just add your laughter Happy ever after I don't know 'bout you (Sounds good to me) I don't know 'bout you I don't know 'bout you But that sounds good to me Oh... that sounds good to me

Straight Down The Middle Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Ray Reach
Fore!
Straight down the middle It went straight down the middle Then it started to hook just a wee, wee bit And that's when my caddie lost sight of it That little white pellet has never been found to this day But it went straight down the middle like they say
Whack down the fairway It went smack down the fairway Then it started to slice just a smidge off line It headed for two but it bounced off nine My caddie says long as you're still in the state you're okay Yes, it went straight down the middle quite a way
The sun was never brighter The greens were never greener And I was never keener to play
I heard it came down the middle It went zing down the middle Oh, the life of a golfer is not all gloom There's always the lies in the locker room And I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say That it went straight down the middle today
Oh, the life of a golfer is not all gloom Though they charge just for listenin' in the locker room But I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say That it went straight down the middle Where it wound up is a riddle But it went straight down the middle far away
Yellow Rose Of Texas Composer(s): Don George Performer(s): Mitch Miller; and various other artists
There's a yellow rose of Texas That I am going to see No other fellow knows her No other, only me She cried so when I left her It like to break my heart And if I ever find her We never more will part
She's the sweetest rose of color A fellow ever knew Her eyes are bright as di'monds They sparkle like the dew You may talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee But the Yellow Rose of Texas Beats the belles of Tennessee
Oh, now I'm going to find her For my heart is full of woe And we'll sing the song together That we sung long ago We'll play the bajo gaily and we'll sing the songs of yore And the Yellow Rose of Texas Shall be mine forevermore

((French Version: L'Amérique (by Joe Dassin) - 1970))
Composer(s): Jeffrey Christie
First recording/First release by: The Tremeloes - 1969/1985
Covered by multiple other artists
So long, boy, you can take my place I got my papers, I got my pay So pack my bags and I'll be on my way ... to Yellow River
Put my gun down, the war is won Fill my glass high, the time has come I'm going back to the place that I love ... Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River ... is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River ... is in my blood, it's the place that I love
Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon And Yellow River
Cannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad I'm still alive And I've been gone for such a long time ... from Yellow River
I remember the nights were cool I can still see the water pool And I remember the girl that I knew ... from Yellow River
Strada Facendo Composer(s): Claudio Baglioni First release by: Claudio Baglioni - 1981
Io ed i miei occhi scuri siamo diventati grandi insieme con l'anima smaniosa a chiedere di un posto che non c'è tra mille mattini freschi di bicletta, mille e più tramonti dietro i fili del tram ed una fame di sorrisi e braccia intorno a me...
Io e i miei cassetti di ricordi e di indirizzi che ho perduto ho visto visi e voci di chi ho amato prima o poi andar via e ho respirato un mare sconosciuto nelle ore larghe e vuote di un'estate di città accanto alla mia ombra nuda di malinconia...
Io e le mie tante sere chiuse, come chiudere un ombrello col viso sopra il petto a leggermi i dolori ed i miei guai ho camminato quelle vie che curvano seguendo il vento e dentro un senso di inutilità e fragile e violento mi son detto tu vedrai...vedrai...vedrai..
Strada facendo vedrai che non sei più da solo strada facendo, troverai un gancio in mezzo al cielo e sentirai la strada far battere il tuo cuore... vedrai più amore....vedrai!
Io troppo piccolo fra tutta questa che c'è al mondo io che ho sognato sopra un treno che non è partito mai e ho corso in mezzo a prati bianchi di luna per strappare ancora un giorno alla mia ingenuità e giovane e invecchiato mi son detto tu vedrai,vedrai..vedrai..
...Strada facendo, vedrai, che non sei più da solo strada facendo, troverai, anche tu un gancio in mezzo al cielo, e sentirai la strada far battere il tuo cuore, vedrai più amore, vedrai...
E una canzone e neanche questa potrà mai cambiar la vita ma che cos'è che mi fa andare avanti e dire che non è finita...cos'è che mi spezza il cuore tra canzoni e amore e che mi fa cantare e amare sempre più perché domani sia migliore, perché domani tu...
Yellow Pearl Composer(s): Phil Lynott; Midge Ure Performer(s): Phil Lynott; Grand Slam; Thin Lizzy; Ultravox; Midge Ure
"We all must beware of the yellow pearl"
The Yellow Pearl control, attack, attack, attack, attack Yellow Pearl It is foolish to venture into strange enchanted places If they aren't the places you want to be
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack Is what we lack
We will arise We will control We will command We will patrol
It is foolish under the guise of love and liberty That we should capitalize and rob and fell The poor for the socialistic tree
We will arise We will control Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack Is what we lack That's what you lack
We shall arise They will arise We shall control They will control We shall command They will command We shall patrol They will patrol
We must fight back We will arise They will arise We will control
We are now living in a situation Where that self same situation depends on the Yellow Pearl Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack Is what we lack We will arise They will arise We will control They will control We will command They shall command We will patrol They will patrol Arise Yellow Pearl's upon us now We must fight back
We will arise They will arise We will control Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack Is what we lack Don't trust in Liberty To save your soul It is genocide to let liberty lose control Control We must decide Control We the Yellow Pearl we will control
It's For You Composer(s): Lina Eriksson - Jonas Gladnikoff - Marten Eriksson - Niall Mooney First performance by: Niamh Kavanagh - 2010
Look into these eyes, hold onto these hands, believe in this heartbeat Though you're afraid that I might break, just hold on Shadows only haunt you when darkness crowds your heart So let the light of my love shine bright
When I cry, it's for the lonely When I pray, it's for the lost and stray When I love like there's no tomorrow No more words to say, it's for you
Look straight ahead, hold onto your dreams, believe in this magic Open your eyes, open your mind and it's there Shadows only haunt you when darkness crowds your heart So let the light of my love shine bright
When I cry, it's for the lonely When I pray, it's for the lost and stray When I love like there's no tomorrow No more words to say...
When shadows haunt you and darkness crowds your heart Let the light of my love shine bright
When I cry, it's for the lonely When I pray, it's for the lost and stray When I love like there's no tomorrow No more words to say, it's for you (It's for you) It's for you
Yellow Moon Composer(s): Aaron Neville; Joel Neville Performer(s): The Neville Brothers; Beau Jocque & The Zydeco Hi-Rollers; Tom Lepson
Yellow moon, yellow moon why you keep peeping in my window? Do you know something I don't know? Did you see my baby walking down the railroad tracks? You can tell me if the girls ever coming back
Is she hid out with another or is she trying to get back home? Is she wrapped up in some other's arms? Or is the girl somewhere all alone? Can you see if she is missing me, or is she having a real good time? Has she forgotten all about or is the girl still mine all mine?
Chorus: With your eye so big a shiney You can see the whole damn land Yellow moon can you tell me If the girl's with another man?
Refrain: Oh yellow moon have you seen that creole woman You can tell me Now ain't you a friend of mine
Stouthearted Men Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg - Frank Mandel - Laurence Schwab - Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Nelson Eddy and multiple other artists
You who have dreams, if you act they will come true To turn your dreams to a fact, it's up to you If you have the soul and the spirit Never fear it, you'll see it thru Hearts can inspire, other hearts with their fire For the strong obey when a strong man shows them the way
Give me some men who are stout-hearted men Who will fight, for the right they adore Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men And I'll soon give you ten thousand more Shoulder to shoulder and bolder and bolder They grow as they go to the fore Then there's nothing in the world can halt or mar a plan When stout-hearted men can stick together man to man
Give me some men who are stout-hearted men Who will fight, for the right they adore Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men And I'll soon give you ten thousand more Shoulder to shoulder and bolder and bolder They grow as they go to the fore Then there's nothing in the world can halt or mar a plan When stout-hearted men can stick together man to man
I'm gonna tell you what 's inside my soul We are so fragile, just like melting snow We've got to come to see the beauty of love And imagine, and imagine, just imagine
And we're like butterflies flying to the sun The sun will never let us look inside I believe that this'll be opened up But at the right time Heartfully just wait for it, it will come
And even if you often were so wrong And you denied the miracle's possible But you have got to see it anyway And imagine, and imagine, just imagine
And we're like butterflies flying to the sun The sun will never let us look inside I believe that this'll be opened up But at the right time Heartfully just wait for it, it will come
And we're like butterflies flying to the sun (The sun) The sun will never let us look inside (Look inside, I believe) I believe that this'll be opened up But at the right time Heartfully just wait for it And all the secrets will come, come out
Yellow Bird Composer(s): Michael Keith; Alan Bergman; Norman Luboff Performer(s): The Brothers Four; and various other artists
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me Did your lady friend leave your nest again? That is very sad, makes me feel so bad You can fly away, in the sky away You're more lucky than me
I also had a pretty girl She's not with me today They're all de same, the pretty girls Take tenderness, then they fly away
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me Let her fly away, in the sky away Pick a town and, soon, pick from night to noon Black and yellow, you like banana too They might pick you someday
Wish that I were a yellow bird I'd fly away with you But I am not a yellow bird So here I sit, nothin' else to do
Storybook Love Composer(s): Willy DeVille - Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Willy DeVille
Come my love, I'll tell you a tale of a boy and girl, and their love story and how he loved her oh, so much and all the charms she did possess
My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel it's as real as the feelings I feel Now this did happen once upon a time When things were not so complex And how he worshipped the ground she walked When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed
My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel it's as real as the feelings I feel Now this did happen once upon a time When things were not so complex And how he worshipped the ground she walked When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed
This love was stronger than the powers so dark A prince could have within his keeping His spells to weave and steal a heart Within her breast, but only sleeping
My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel it's as real as the feelings I feel Now this did happen once upon a time When things were not so complex And how he worshipped the ground she walked When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed
He said, "Don't you know I love you oh, so much And lay my heart at the foot of your dress? "She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves Always have a happy ending?" Then he swooped her up, just like in the books And on his stallion they rode away
My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel it's as real as the feelings I feel Now this did happen once upon a time When things were not so complex And how he worshipped the ground she walked When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed

Thunder And Lightning Composer(s): Edin-Dino aran First performance by: Vukain Brajic - 2010
Say just one more word And you will make it end And I will leave this place Only anger will remain And it doesn't seem to me We're each other's better side These days
This is the time to melt the ice Off our lips and off our hearts Thunder and lightning holding hands Let's overcome the past
The drought is all around But if we start breathing together We can bring the rain down For a dream, for a brand new day To wash away our sins And carry them away
This is the time to melt the ice Off our lips and off our hearts Thunder and lightning holding hands Let's overcome the past We have to do it fast
This is the time (to melt the ice) (Off our lips and off our hearts) Off our hearts (Thunder and lightning holding hands) Thunder and lightning (Let's overcome the past) (We have to do it fast)
In this crazy world In this crazy world Just you and I
Say just one more word And everything will end, everyone will leave

Thunder And Lightning Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
I never thought I'd ever get tired of playing games But I've been holding back for too long Now the time has come to get it right Now's the time to show them all that they're wrong 'Cause they said thunder and they said lightning
It would never strike twice Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me How come this feels so nice Oh it feels alright Never ever did believe in guiding lights 'Cause what you didn't hold, slipped away Oh but there's a feeling deep down in my shoe 'Cause things look like they're going my way 'Cause they say thunder and they say lightning It would never strike twice Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me How come this feels so nice Oh it feels alright I never ever did believe in a second chance You get, just one crack of the whip, that's all If you played the game, you got treated right Oh but I'm not playing the game, no more 'Cause they say thunder and they say lightning It would never strike twice Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me How come this feels so nice Oh it feels alright
