First you say you do, and then you don't And then you say you will, and then you won't You're undecided now So what are you gonna do?
Now you wanna play, and then it's no And when you say you'll stay, that's when you go You're undecided now So what are you gonna do?
I've been sitting on a fence, and it doesn't make much sense 'cause you keep me in suspense, and you know it Then you promise to return, when you don't I really burn Well, I guess I'll never learn and I show it
If you've got a heart and if you're kind Then don't keep us apart, make up your mind You're undecided now So what are you gonna do?
(Orchestral Interlude)

Performer(s): Aleks Syntek & La Gente Normal - 1996
Anybody find me, somebody to love
Despierto y no siento estar vivo no puedo mantenerme de pie soy reflejo de un ser destruido ¿no lo ves? ¡no estoy bien!
He gastado mi tiempo paseandome hay alivio y de nuevo me vi caer no hay nada, no hay nadie una simple forma de hallar el amor
Anybody find me, somebody can love Anybody find me, somebody can love
Ese estado de necesidad ¿sera que con el tiempo crece? llevandome despacio, suicidandome no queda un solo rastro de mi
No hay nada, no hay nadie una simple forma de hallar el amor
Under Fiesta Stars From the film "Under Fiesta Stars" Composer(s): Gene Autry; Fred Rose Performer(s): Gene Autry; Richard O'Brien
We met by a stream one night in Mexico The moment stood still under fiesta stars I learned how to dream that night in Mexico My heart felt a thrill under fiesta stars
The night spoke of splendour The lanterns were low I had to surrender The thrill seemed to grow The music was playing We danced until dawn My thoughts began straying And then she was gone
Tonight there's a stream somewhere in Mexico Where lanterns that glow blend with the soft guitars I wish I could dream again of Mexico And still feel the thrill under fiesta stars
(Instrumental Interlude)
Tonight there's a stream somewhere in Mexico Where lanterns that glow blend with the soft guitars I wish I could dream again in Mexico And still feel the thrill under fiesta stars

Under God Composer(s): Phil Johnson; Sue C. Smith Performer(s): The Booth Brothers
Half a century ago, two simple words Declared a truth that's planted in our hearts And every time the flag is raised We've been honored to repeat the phrase So the world will know we are...
Under God, America's been blessed Under God, brought through every trial and test We are sheltered by the mercy He chose to give In privilege and abundance, this nation lives
Under God, Freedom has survived Under God, we need to recognize We're dependent on His goodness Indebted to His care Maybe more than any people anytime or anywhere Still our only hope and prayer is Under God
When we pledge allegiance now, it's Under God Those words have shaped the land that we hold dear Some insist it's not allowed To acknowledge that we need Him now But it has never been so clear
Under God, America's been blessed Under God, brought through every trial and test We are sheltered by the mercy He chose to give In privilege and abundance, this nation lives
Under God, Freedom has survived Under God, we need to recognize We're dependent on His goodness Indebted to His care Maybe more than any people anytime or anywhere Still our only hope and prayer Still our only hope and prayer is Under God Under God
Nauravat Silmät Muistetaan First performance by: Boulevard - 1988
Päivien pyörteessä, toisien joukossa helppo on kulkea yksin Ihmistenkuoria, tyhjiä kohdata vaan Outoja ilmeitä, kylmiä katseita, muutamat ilmettä aivan Kulkevat, katsovat, tuskinpa kuulevatkaan
Astutaan ulos kuoresta uuteen maisemaan Avataan korvat kuulemaan, rohkeesti vaan rentoudutaan Heitetään turha jännitys pois ja nauretaan Nauravat silmät muistetaan, ilmeikkäät vaan huomioidaan
Ihmistenkuorista, vanhoista nuorista, kaikki on toisinaan yksin Kaikkien huolia ystävyys helpottaa voi Hauskoja ilmeitäa, heiliä katseita, uusia tuulia aivan Katsovat, kuulevat, naurussaan riemu jo soi
Astutaan ulos kuoresta uuteen maisemaan Avataan korvat kuulemaan, rohkeesti vaan rentoudutaan Heitetään turha jännitys pois ja nauretaan Nauravat silmät muistetaan, ilmeikkäät vaan huomioidaan
Heitetään turha jännitys pois ja nauretaan Nauravat silmät muistetaan, ilmeikkäät vaan huomioidaan Nauravat silmät muistetaan, ilmeikkäät vaan huomioidaan
Somebody Stole My Guitar Composer(s): Ian Gillan - Roger Glover - Jon Lord - Steve Morse - Ian Paice Performer(s): Deep Purple
Remind me to tell you 'bout the old silver miner name of hard rock Pete had his house built on a slope They say one of his legs lived in Calico There's a rumour going round that the other lived in hope So I walked in the room and I stopped I turned around and looked over my shoulder And a voice close beside me said You'd better watch your head the party's over
It wasn't long before the waitress came over and said Can I freshen up your drink and have you heard of these boys and if you feel included to buy some cowboy boots Well it's not that bad we can talk above the noise So I sucked on my beer Shut my eyes and tried to listen to the words I know I missed the meaning but the message was something I'd already heard
Johnny Ringo's voice is getting deeper and now he's going to put another lock on the door The night is getting later My head is getting lighter The mood is getting darker Tequila's being poured So I smile at the old gunslinger in his frame on the wall as he pushed back his hat And it's all coming back I'd cut a long story short but it's much too late for that
Somebody stole my guitar They took it from the back seat of my car
I was sleeping in Memphis in my hotel room and somebody stole my guitar
Stad I Ljus Composer(s): Py Bäckman First performance by: Tommy Körberg - 1988
Min resa var mot solen, långt bortom alla slutna rum Där allting är oändligt, och alla gränser har förevigt suddats ut Jag ville se miraklet, och höra ord som föder liv Bli buren av en styrka, som bara växer när jag anat mitt motiv
Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn Ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt
Och så när allt förändrats, när tiden inte längre finns Så ser jag oss untilsammans, och då är resan slut Det enda som vi minns
Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn Ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn Ge, ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt
Under Pressure Composer(s): David Bowie; John Deacon; Brian May; Freddie Mercury; Roger Taylor Performer(s): Queen; David Bowie; and various other artists
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah Bah bah bah bah bah bah Pressure pressing down on me Under pressure That burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets
Bah bah bah bah bah bah Bah bah bah bah bah bah
That's o-kay! It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming let me out Pray tomorrow takes me higher Pressure on people
Do do do bah bah bah bah O-kay Chippin around Kick my brains around the floor These are the days It never rains it pours People on streets People on streets
It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming let me out Pray tomorrow takes me higher People people on streets Turned away from it all Like a blind man Sat on fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love But it's so slashed and torn Why why why? Love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love one more chance? Why can't we give love give love give love? Give love give love give love give love give love Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care For people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our way Of caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves under pressure Under pressure pressure
Somebody Stole My Gal Composer(s): Leo Wood Performer(s): Florence Millett and multiple other artists
Gee, but I'm lonesome, lonesome and blue I've found out something I never knew I know now what it means to be sad For I've lost the best gal I ever had She only left yesterday Somebody stole her away
Somebody stole my gal Somebody stole my pal Somebody came and took her away She didn't even say she was leavin' The kisses I love so He's getting now I know And Gee! I know that she Would come to me if she could see Her broken hearted lonesome pal Somebody stole my gal
Angels they say are only above I know that's wrong because my old love Sure is an angel, take it from me And she's all the angel I want to see Maybe she'll come back some day All I can do now is pray
Somebody stole my gal Somebody stole my pal Somebody came and took her away She didn't even say she was leavin' The kisses I love so He's getting now I know And Gee! I know that she Would come to me if she could see Her broken hearted lonesome pal Somebody stole my gal
And Gee! I know that she Would come to me if she could see Her broken hearted lonesome pal Somebody stole my Somebody stole my Somebody stole my gal!
Under The Bamboo Tree From "Sally In Our Alley"; "Nancy Brown";
"Meet Me In St. Louis" Composer(s): John Rosamond Johnson; Bob Cole Performer(s): Judy Garland; Margaret O'Brien; and various other artists
Down in the jungles lived a maid Of royal blood though dusky shade A marked impression once she made Upon a Zulu from Matabooloo And ev'ry morning he would be Down underneath the bamboo tree Awaiting there his love to see And then to her he'd sing
If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you And we lak-a-both the same I lak-a-say This very day I lak-a change your name 'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true And if you-a love-a me One live as two, two live as one Under the bamboo tree
And in this simple jungle way He wooed the maiden ev'ry day By singing what he had to say One day he seized her And gently squeezed her And then beneath the bamboo green He begged her to become his queen The dusky maiden blushed unseen And joined him in his song
If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you And we lak-a-both the same I lak-a-say This very day I lak-a change your name 'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true And if you-a love-a me One live as two, two live as one Under the bamboo tree
This little story strange but true Is often told in Mataboo Of how this Zulu tried to woo His jungle lady In tropics shady Although the scene was miles away Right here at home I dare to say You'll hear some Zulu ev'ry day Gush out this soft refrain
If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you And we lak-a-both the same I lak-a-say This very day I lak-a change your name 'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true And if you-a love-a me One live as two, two live as one Under the bamboo tree

Somebody Nobody Loves Composer(s): Seymour Miller Performer(s): Claud Thornhill and multiple other artists
I'm somebody nobody loves Oh me, oh my, my, my I'm somebody nobody loves I wonder why, why, why

I've got to find me a somebody soon Or else I'll die, die, die I'd take the man in the moon If he'd give me a try I'm just a lonesome Cinderella That romance passes by I'm somebody nobody loves, oh me oh my
Under The Falling Sky Composer(s): Jackson Browne Performer(s): Jackson Browne; Bob Meighan; Bonnie Raitt
Warm and lovely mystery, fire smiling through Before this moment fades away I want to know you I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe Have no fear I've got something here I want to show you
Low, under the falling sky Easily we will lie While I bring it to you
It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you And in your eyes the distance left is closing I've got a feeling in my oceans Blood underneath my skin That into your bright fields this prison is opening
Low, under the falling sky Easily we will lie While I bring it to you
Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why They hope and try -- live and die So leave them in their frozen world Come and be my lover If only for one stolen moment We will live forever
Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir? Voices can no longer hold my desire Abandon your sad history and meet me in the fire Our angels wait to take us higher and higher Higher and higher
Low, under the falling sky Easily we will lie While I bring it to you
