Two hundred miles from my home A million miles from you Livin' without you on my own You know it's hard to do And through the night, feelings grow You know I need you so
Lightning and thunder may appear But you know I'm forever here Time will never tear us apart We'll never leave as broken-hearted Believe in me, you know how I really feel My love, how I want you near
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Helene, when we say goodbye It always makes me cry
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Helene, stay just one more night Say you don't have to leave Until the end of time
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Can't you stay just one more night Can't you stay by my side
Two hundred miles from my home And so many miles from you Livin' without you on my own You know it's hard to do And through the night, feelings grow You know I need you so You know I need you so You know I need you so
Have You Never Been Mellow Composer(s): John Farrar Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John; and various other artists
There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are I was like you There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view I was like you Now I don't mean to make you frown No, I just want you to slow down
Have you never been mellow? Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you? Have you never been happy just to hear your song? Have you never let someone else be strong?
Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds I was like you Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes I was like you Now you're not hard to understand You need someone to hold your hand

Helena, Helena...
När jag ser dig, då slutar jag tänka När jag hör dig, då hettar min kind Kanske vill du, att jag ska få längta När du försvinner, som en sommarvind
Helena, Helena...
Är du ängen, vill jag va din blomma Är du havet, vill jag va din båt Än så länge, står ängarna tomma havet är stilla, luften kall och våt
Helena, Helena...
Har du märkt, har du hört fåglar sjunga en sång Har du sett båtar gunga nån gång Har du känt jag är varm....varm varm varm varm Kanske du inte vet men det gör ingenting Jag kan gå jag kan vandra omkring i min längtans värld
Helena, Helena...
Som en fjäril, är du svår att fånga som en hägring, är du svår att nå När jag längtar, blir dagarna långa men jag kan vänta, länge till ändå...
Have You Made The Day Worthwhile? Composer(s): Charlie Chester; Ken Morris Performer(s): Billy Cotton
(Billy) Have you made the day worthwhile Have you made your neighbour smile Life is worth the living if you believe Theres more joy in giving than there is to receive Have you made your heart feel proud Do you feel above the crowd To see tomorrows sun more clearly Just ask yourself sincerely Have you made the day worthwhile
(Chorus) Have you made the day worthwhile Have you made your neighbour smile
(Billy) Life is worth the living if you believe Theres more joy in giving than there is to receive
(Chorus) Have you made your heart feel proud
(Billy) Do you feel above the crowd
(Chorus) To see tomorrows sun more clearly Just ask yourself sincerely
Speedball Tucker Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce; The Ventures
I drive a broke-down rig on "may-pop" tires Forty foot of overload A lot of people say that I'm crazy Because I don't know how to take it slow I got a broomstick on the throttle I got her opened up and head right down Nonstop back to Dallas Poppin' them West Coast turnarounds
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers Will tell you that the boy is mad To be drivin' in a rig like that
You know the rain may blow, the snow may snow The turnpikes, they may freeze But they don't bother old Speedball He goin' any damn way he please He got a broomstick on the throttle To keep his throttle foot a-dancin' 'round With a cup full of cold black coffee And a pocketful of West Coast turnarounds
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers Will tell you that the boy is mad To be drivin' in a rig like that
One day I looked into my rear-view mirror And comin' up from behind There was a Georgia state policeman And a hundred dollar fine Well he looked me in the eye as he was writin' me up He said, "Driver, you've been flyin' And ninety-five was the route you were on It was not the speed limit sign"
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers Will tell you that the boy is mad To be drivin' in a rig like that
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers Will tell you that the boy is mad To be drivin' in a rig like that

Toi qui pars pour Bahia Va danser dans les bras d'Hélèna On devient amoureux Lorsqu'on voit les beaux yeux d'Hélèna Le soleil te sourit Mon ami bon voyage Le pays est joli Mais la vie elle aussi tu verras
On oublie Marianna Lorsqu'on est dans les bras d'Hélèna La chaleur de son corps Me rend plus fou encore que sa voix Mais le jeu de l'amour Est toujours le plus sage Je n'aurai que le droit De danser dans les bras d'Hélèna
Have You Looked Into Your Heart Composer(s): Bill Barberis; Teddy Randazzo; Bobby Weinstein Performer(s): Jerry Vale
Have you looked into your heart did you find a memory or two Even though the flame has died Maybe there's a spark inside Have you looked into your heart
Have you searched thru all your dreams did you ever find a trace of me Even though you say we're through That I'm not the one for you Have you looked into your heart
When the evening shadows Fall upon my window pane I find I'm crying over, and over And over and over and over again
Since we've been apart All I do is pray for your return Take a look and you will see Maybe there's a place for me Have you looked into your heart

Have you heard who's kissing him now Do you think he's blue Did he say we're through Has he found someone new
Have you seen the way he looks now Does he act the same when he hears my name Does he say who's to blame My arms are empty My nights are long and lonely I miss him so Each new tomorrow can only bring me sorrow I love him so
Have you heard of their wedding day Rumors come and go Still I'd like to know If it's true won't you tell me Have you heard

Ricordo il suo bel nome del Tubinga ed io avrei masticato la sua tuta da ginnastica Il nome se lo prese in prestito dai libri e fu come copiare di nascosto fu come soffiare sul fuoco Cataste scolastiche perché quando tutto è perduto non resta che la cenere l'amore e lei nel suo bel nome era una iena chi di noi il governato e chi il governatore Son fatti che attengono alla storia chi fosse la provincia e chi l'impero non è il punto il punto era l'incendio erano gli esercizi obbligatori estetici le occhiate di traverso e tu guardavi indietro c'eravamo capiti, capiti all'inverso ci diventammo leciti per questo D'altronde d'altro canto a volte essere nemici facilita piacersi è così inutile un bacio dai bei modi grossolani sfuggì come uno schiaffo senza mani talmente presi ci si rese conto d'essere un'allegoria soltanto quando ci capitò di dire indicando il soffitto col naso di dire "noi due" e ci marmorizzammo La corda tesa non l'arco e la tempesta la schiuma il cuore amò se stesso ma noi non divagammo l'animo umano è nulla se non è una pietra da scalfire ricavando i capelli e il suo bel piede era la collisione il primo scontro epico perché non scritto ma cavalcato a pelo ed ognuno esigeva la terra dell'altro le mani la terra la carne il terreno
