Space Monkey Composer(s): Ivan Král - Patti Smith - Tom Verlaine Performer(s): Patti Smith
Blood on the T.V., ten o'clock news Souls are invaded, heart in a groove Beatin' and beatin' so outta time What's the mad matter with the church chimes? Here comes a stranger up on Ninth Avenue Leanin' green tower, indiscreet view Over the cloud, over the bridge sensitive muscle, sensitive ridge of my space monkey. Sign of the time-time Space monkey, so outta line-line Space monkey, sort of divine And he's mine, mine, all mine
Pierre Clementi, snot full o' cocaine The sexual streets, why it's all so insane Humans are running, lavender room Hoverin' liquid, move over moon for my space monkey. Sign of the time-time Space monkey, sort of divine-vine Space monkey, so out of line and he's mine, mine, oh he's mine
A stranger comes up to him; hands him an old, rusty Polaroid It starts crumbling in his hands He says, "Oh man, I don't get the picture This is no picture This is just...this just-a...this just-a... This is my jack-knife This is my jack-knife This is my jack-knife This is my jack"
Rude excavation, landin' site Boy hesitatin', jack-knife He rips his leg open, so out of time Blood and light runnin' It's all like a dream Light of my life, he's dressed in flame It's all so predestined It's all such a game for my space monkey Sign of the time-time Space monkey, sort of divine-vine Space monkey, so out of line and it's all just space, just space
There he is, up in a tree Oh, I hear him callin' down to me That banana-shaped object ain't no banana It's a bright, yellow U.F.O. And he's coming to get me Here I go Up, up, up, up, up, up, up ,up, up ... Oh, goodbye mama I'll never do dishes again Here I go from my body Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha Help!
Heart Of Gold Composer(s): Bob Nolan Performer(s): Vera Lynn
You have a heart that right from the start was filled with a love for me, yes just for me You helped me bear my trouble and care With your sweet, sweet sympathy
A lady sweet and old You're lovely to behold For though your hair is grey with care You have a heart of gold
I'm glad that I have you To tell my troubles to You helped me so because I know You have a heart of gold
You're kind and sweet in all you do And when the world was hard to you You smiled and let the sunshine through That's why I love you so
Your years of service hold The sweetest story told And though your brow is silver now You have a heart of gold
When the day is dying and all the world is still Shadows come acreeping from each rock and rill Golden bars from sunset land tint the hills aglow Soft breezes whisper of days long ago Voices from shadowland call me it seems, I wander on 'mid sylvan streams Gliding on mem'rys ship thru twilight land Into the Harbor of Dreams
Angel eyes are watching thru stars way up above Nightingale is singing a carol of love Night has drawn her mantle o'er land and o'er the sea Weaving a haze of fond mem'ries for me Drifting along where my dream river flows My eyelids close in sweet repose Guiding me onward, my beacon light gleams Into the Harbor of Dreams
Back thru the years of smiles and tears I sail away at close of day And I journey a far to the land of moonbeams And anchor at last in the Harbor of Dreams
Solo Composer(s): Andrew Lane, Brandon Barnes First performance by: Alsou - 2000
Sitting alone, here in my room Staring at your picture from midnight till noon Counting the hours, counting the days You know that I'll miss you in a million ways
Now I wait in the cold and this is getting old No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall By my actions you should know I'm going solo Going solo
My friends try to tell me, I didn't want to listen 'Cause I'm the kind of person gotta find out on my own I gave you my heart, you tore it apart But I'm coming back strong, I knew it was wrong
Now I wait in the cold and this is getting old No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall By my actions you should know
Now I wait in the cold and this is getting old No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall By my actions you should know I'm going solo Going solo
Now I wait... Wait in the cold and this is getting old No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall By my actions you should know
Now I wait in the cold and this is getting old No more stories, no more lies, take me off this ride When you see me in the hall, I'll look at the wall By my actions you should know I'm going solo
Heart Of Gold Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Neil Young
I want to live, I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold It's these expressions I never give That keep me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line That keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold You keep me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old I've been a miner for a heart of gold
Space Is Deep Composer(s): Dave Brock Performer(s): Hawkwind
Space is dark, it is so endless When you're lost it's so relentless It is so big, it is so small Why does man try to act so tall Is this the reason, deep in our minds?
It does not feel, it does not die Space is neither truth nor lie Into the void we have to travel To find the clue which will unravel Is this the reason, deep in our minds?
The secret lies with our tomorrow In each of us is a hidden sorrow The path goes onward through the night Beyond the realms of ancient light Is this the reason, deep in our minds?
Heart Of Glass Composer(s): Deborah Harry; Chris Stein Performer(s): Blondie
Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between "what I find is pleasing" and "I'm feeling fine" Love is so confusing There's no peace of mind if I fear I'm losing you It's just no good, you teasing like you do Lost inside Adorable illusion and I cannot hide I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside We coulda made it cruising, yeah Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass Seemed like the real thing only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
The wind is cold The morning skies are gray And through the fog I walk along the bay Past a regiment of rusty swings On sandy fields of broken things
Ferris wheel was turning And the roller coaster roared Summer sun was burning On the hot dog stands and the candy stores They had chocolate ice cream Apples on a stick Big old jars with gumdrops in 'em And if you guessed it right you'd win 'em
Happyland, Happyland Land that dreams are made of Happyland, Happyland You could have a real nice time And a ride for just one dime
What a great place to be (??) bored, five and They left you alone They have these cars that you coud drive in Pretend you were old I was much better off when I was pretending Everything's far too real
Happyland, Happyland Land that dreams are made of Carousels, wishing wells Da da da da da da da Da da da da
Ferris wheel was turning The roller coaster roared Summer sun was burning On the hot dog stands and the candy stores
My Heart Goes Boom Composer(s): Tore Madsen - Morten Henriksen First performance by: Charmed - 2000
Wooh!
Summer, Saturday and sunshine, suddenly, I saw you there A stunning sight from God knows where You were standing in the shadows, looking quite impossible I lost my mind and popsicle
A radio was singing Something blue in perfect tune Half a look over your shoulder I couldn't keep from staring back at you
My heart goes boom when I see you, baby Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon My heart goes boom, put your arms around me Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon My heart goes boom
Summer, Saturday, and sunset, you said hello and I said hi And something lit the evening sky You came out of the shadows with a teasing twinkle in your eye And took my senses for a ride
A radio was playing Something slow in perfect tune Half a smile as you sat down I couldn't seem to keep my eyes off you
My heart goes boom when I see you, baby Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon My heart goes boom, put your arms around me Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon (My heart goes boom)
A radio was singing Something blue in perfect tune Half a look over your shoulder I couldn't seem to keep my eyes off you
My heart goes... My heart goes boom when I see you, baby Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon My heart goes boom, put your arms around me Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon My heart goes boom
Happyland Composer(s): Joe Jackson Performer(s): Joe Jackson
It was on a summer night, she says, a year ago today Packed, the place was packed The chicos lookin' for some play He wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to Yemayá And he was calm and handsome As they squeezed through to the bar The girls were in tight dresses, just like sweets in cellophane Everyone was there Sabrosón from Spanish Harlem And luz from Camaguey In her hand a single rose, and in her mouth a razorblade Hot, the place was hot Too many people to be safe
Who cared It was our night Watch us seize the day And dance it all away...
Bailamos, esa noche, bailamos In Happyland
It was on a summer night, she says - yes, it was a year ago Hot, the place was hot but where else were they gonna go And then she heard the screams And saw the smoke come down And then it really turned into the hottest club in town She remembers all the firetrucks And that maldito TV crew And he, he didn't make it So, "mi amor, this song's for you" She's got red shoes on her feet A nd a red smile on her face And people say she's loca, to go back into that place
Who cared This is my night Watch me seize the day And dance it all away...
Heart Like A Wheel Composer(s): Anna McGarrigle Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt; and various other artists
Some say a heart is just like a wheel When you bend it, you can't mend it And my love for you is like a sinking ship And my heart is like that ship out in mid ocean
They say that death is a tragedy It comes once and it's over But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss 'Cause what's the use of living with no true lover
And it's only love, and it's only love That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
When harm is done no love can be won I know this happens frequently What I can't understand Oh please God hold my hand Is why it should have happened to me
And it's only love and it's only love And it's only love and it's only love Only love, only love Only love, only love
Desire Composer(s): Gerard James Borg - Philip Vella First performance by: Claudette Pace - 2000
From the first day I saw you To the last time we met I've desired to hold you Have you and make you mine
But to have and to hold To love and to grow It takes two hearts that beat To the rhythm of one
When you push me away I taste fear and pain Turns my fire to smoke With one word, with one stroke
Deep in my heart is desire to love Deep in my soul is desire to grow Deep in your smile is desire for more Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed
Let me live, let me die Let me laugh, let me cry Let me burn in your fire In flames of desire
Be my river of hope My mountain of truth Let me colour your life With the colour of love
Deep in my heart is desire to love Deep in my soul is desire to grow Deep in your smile is desire for more Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed
Dejjem ridtek Dejjem xtaqtek Lilek abbejt
Take me up, take me down Take me into your arms Spin the magic of love With one word, with one smile
My desire runs deep And I'm losing sleep I wake up to the light You're the key to my heart
Deep in my heart is desire to love Deep in my soul is desire to grow Deep in your smile is desire for more Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed
(Deep in my heart is desire to love) Deep in my soul (Deep in my soul is desire to grow) Deep in your smile is desire for more Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed
Heart Hotels Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Well there's too many windows In this old hotel And rooms filled with reckless pride And the walls have grown sturdy And the halls have worn well But there is nobody living inside Nobody living inside
Gonna pull in the shutters On this heart of mine Roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds And retreat to the chambers That I left behind In hopes there still may be love left to find Still may be love left to find
Seek inspiration in daily affairs Your soul's in trouble and requires repairs And the voices you hear At the top of the stairs Are only echoes of unanswered prayers Echoes of unanswered prayers
Well there's too many windows In this old hotel And rooms filled with reckless pride And the walls have grown sturdy And the halls have worn well But there is nobody living inside Nobody living inside Nobody living inside
Heart Full Of Soul Composer(s): Graham Gouldman Performer(s): The Yardbirds
And I know if she had me back again well I would never make her sad I've gotta heart full of soul Sick at heart and lonely deep in dark despair Thinking one thought only where is she tell me where And if she says to you she doesn't love me just give her my message tell her of my plea She's been gone such a long time longer than I can bear but if she says she wants me tell her that I'll be there And if she says to you she doesn't love me just give her my message tell her of my plea
