Hello Again Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): The Cars
Hello hello again! Hello hello again! You might've forgot The journey ends
You tied your knots And you made your friends You left the scene Without a trace
One hand on the ground
One hand in space Oh you passed on mercy
You tried the rest
You gave your body you gave your best Staring at the green door living in the sky
You don't want to know it you just want to fly Hello hello hello again! Hello hello hello again! I know you're a dreamer who's under the gun
I know you're a dreamer who's only just begun Hello hello hello again! I say hello hello hello again! Oh and when there's nothing nothing left to loose You leave it all to fade to blue You wanna feel electric you wanna feel loose
You wanna be eclectic you wanna call a truce Look at the profile staring up the flame Waiting for the sunshine standing in the rain Hello hello again! I said hello hello hello hello hello again! I say hello hello hello hello again! Hello hello again Hello - hello - hello - hello - hello
Having A Real Bad Day Composer(s): John Barlow Jarvis; Delbert McClinton Performer(s): Taj Mahal
I found her number, and the note she wrote Deep in the pocket, of a real old coat It just got by me some way I'm having a real bad day Said she was all moved in and her apartment sure looked fine Suggested I come by, and see her some time Said all her fixtures were new, and I'll turn them on for you She said I get home at a quarter to six I'll be waiting for your call I'll fix you something, I'm sure your gonna love but we don't have to, we don't have to eat at all that's one of the problems, of life on the road little notes like this ain't got no area code I don't know what else to say I'm having, a real bad day I don't know what to say I'm having, a real bad day
Northern Girl Composer(s): Kim Breitburg - Karen Kavaleryan - Evgene Fridlyand - Irina Antonyan First performance by: Prime Minister - 2002
In all my wanderings around the world I met so many kinds of pretty girls All of them like precious stones sparkling on their own I found them fiery, tender, bright and sweet In Rome and Paris, Lisbon and Madrid But one girl remains for me still a real mystery I've been thinkin' about you
Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby? Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby Northern girl
We drink the sunset like ruby wine But still you keep your head and hold the line Even when you look aside, I admire your pride We stand together closely, skin to skin You look forbidding as the Snow Queen But I hear your secret call 'cause your fortress has no walls I'm still thinkin' about you
Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby? Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby Northern girl
Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby? Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby Northern girl
And when you ask me tonight why I search for love so, so far I will hold you and whisper: You're my Northern Star, guiding star, baby
Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby? Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby Northern girl
Northern girl, Lady Ice - how can I melt you, baby? (You're my northern girl) Northern girl, never cries - tough like a pearl (You're my guiding star) Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby (Northern girl) Northern girl
Hello Composer(s): Lionel Ritchie Performer(s): Lionel Ritchie; and various other artists
I've been alone with you inside my mind And in my dreams I've kissed your lips A thousand times I sometimes see you pass outside my door Hello! is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your smile You're all I've ever wanted And my arms are open wide Cause you know just what to say And you know just what to do And I want to tell you so much, I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair And tell you time and time again How much I care Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow Hello! I've just got to let you know
Cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely Or is someone loving you Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying, I love you
Hello! is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your smile You're all I've ever wanted And my arms are open wide Cause you know just what to say And you know just what to do And I want to tell you so much, I love you

(La-la-la)
You better come home, Speedy Gonzales Away from tannery row Stop alla your a-drinkin' With that floozie named Flo Come on home to your adobe And slap some mud on the wall The roof is leakin' like a strainer There's loadsa roaches in the hall
Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home? Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?
"Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown for my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers"
(La-la-la)
Your doggy's gonna have a puppy And we're runnin' outta coke No enchiladas in the icebox And the television's broke I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt I smelled some perfume in your ear Well if you're gonna keep on messin' Don't bring your business back a-here
Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home? Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?
"Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina they giving green stamps with tequila!!"
Hell Nep Avenue Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Comme j'arrivais la tête en vrac Entre ma guitare et mon sac J'entends, malheureux ne bougez plus Ne bougez plus Le prochain pas que vous allez faire Peut vous mener droit en enfer Personne ne vous a prévenu Vous êtes sur Hell nep Avenue
Boulevard des papiers qui s'envolent Le vent y descend droit du pôle Ça fait des chansons de travers, de travers Chanteurs aux épaules tombantes Pris dans les fougères grimpantes Encore une averse de plus Sur Hell nep Avenue
Quelques mesures de silence À l'heure où l'autobus s'avance Aucune fille n'en descend, et le blues reprend On peut voir se creuser les rides De ceux qui attendent dans le vide Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus La Hell nep Avenue
Personne ne vous a prévenu À cette heure-ci elle viendra plus Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus La Hell nep Avenue
Avenue du blues, boulevard de personne On y a vu trainer Robert Johnson Jusqu'au matin grattant la misère, la misère Il reste un carré de pelouse Où quelques silhouettes jalouses Viennent pour fleurir la statue Vous êtes sur Hell nep Avenue
Tendresse pendue aux pupitres Rue des fenêtres sans vitres Combien d'amoureux étendus, étendus On y a tous chanté une fois Une fois et puis t'oublies plus La hell nep Avenue...
Combien d'amoureux étendus Tellement, tellement de silhouettes perdues Encore une averse de plus sur la Hell nep Avenue Personne ne vous a prévenu À cette heure-ci elle viendra plus Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus la Hell nep Avenue...
Haven't You Heard Composer(s): Dale Siegenthaler Performer(s): Porter Wagoner
Haven't you heard there's a new love for me Haven't you heard you're just my used to be She held out her hand, said "Haven't you heard" I saw a gold wedding band, I was lost for words I wanted to cry I wanted to die When she said these words ("Oh, haven't you heard*)
Haven't you heard there's a new love for me Haven't you heard you're just my used to be She pulled back her hand, I wanted to cry It was all I could stand to see her wavin' goodbye I wanted to cry I wanted to die When she said these words ("Oh, haven't you heard") When she said these words "Oh, haven't you heard"

Op een mistig koude augustusavond liep ik doelloos langs witgekalkte huisjes van het Lierse Begijnhof. In de grauwe stilte weerklonk plots het troosteloos geweeklaag van een eenzaam meisje
das kwezel Eufrazie van Doemmele van het Begijnenhof in Lier sinds heure vent stierf van t boemmele is t menske hiêl diên tijd al hier ze zit al jare in heur huiske ze denkt er dikwijls on ne vent alleen gon slape mè e kruiske is ze nog altijd ni gewend

Hell Is For Children Composer(s): Pat Benatar; Roger Capps; Neil Giraldo Performer(s): Pat Benatar; Rosemary's Billygoat
They cry in dark so you can't see their tears They hide in the light so you can't see their fears Forgive and forget all the while... Love and pain become one and the same in the eyes of a wounded child Because--hell, hell is for children! And you know that their little lives can become such a mess Hell--hell is for children and you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh... It's all so confusing this brutal abusing... They blacken your eyes and then apologize... "Be daddy's good girl and don't tell mommy a thing"... "Be a good little boy and you'll get a new toy tell grandma you fell from the swing" Because--hell, hell is for children! And you know that their little lives can become such a mess Hell--hell is for children and you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh...
Haven't You Heard Composer(s): Red Lane; Wayne Kemp Performer(s): George Strait
Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy Haven't you heard, Momma is gone
Here I stand with my finger on his door bell My mind goes back to what I did last night You see I finally talked his wife into leavin' him And I'm just here to convince my conscience that it's alright Well I can see my ole friend sittin' there just starin' And his little boy's cryin' words that are welded in my mind
Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy Haven't you heard, Momma is gone And either way I am a loser And I've been cryin' all night long Mister, haven't you heard
Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy Haven't you heard, Momma is gone And either way I am a loser And I've been cryin' all night long Mister, haven't you heard

Ritorna a casa Speedy Gonzales devi lasciare quel bar e devi smettere di bere per scordarti di me
Tu m'hai lasciata sola in casa tu m'hai lasciato perchè ho tanto freddo e sono sola e il tetto lacrima per me
Speedy Gonzales ritorna da me Speedy Gonzales non lasciarmi mai più
Nascondi il viso col sombrero e ti vergogni perchè hai sulle labbra un'altro bacio mai baciato da me Se torni incontro alle mie braccia io ti perdono perchè berremmo insieme una tequila e brinderemo al nostro amor
Speedy Gonzales ritorna da me Speedy Gonzales non lasciarmi mai più
Speedy Gonzales why don't you come home Speedy Gonzales don't you leave me alone
Hell In A Bucket Composer(s): John Perry Barlow; Bob Weir Performer(s): Grateful Dead; Bob Weir
Well, I was drinking last night with a biker And I showed him a picture of you I said, "Pal, get to know her You'll like her" Seemed like the least I could do...
'Cause when he's driving his chopper Up and down your carpeted halls You will think me by contrast quite proper Never mind how I stumble and fall Never mind how I stumble and fall
Chorus: You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot For a taste of your elegant pride I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe But at least I'm enjoying the ride At least I'm enjoying the ride At least I'm enjoying the ride
Now miss sweet little soft-core pretender Somehow baby got hard as it gets With her black leather chrome spiked suspenders Her chair and her whip and her pets
Well we know you're the reincarnation Of the ravenous Catherine the Great And we know how you love your ovations For the Z-rated scenes you create The Z-rated scenes you create
You analyze me, pretend to despise me You laugh when I stumble and fall There may come a day I will dance on your grave If unable to dance, I will crawl across it Unable to dance, I'll still crawl
You must really consider the circus 'Cause it just might be your kind of zoo I can't think of a place that's more perfect For a person as perfect as you
And it's not like I'm leaving you lonely 'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin But I know that you'll think of me only When the snakes come marching in When the snakes come marching in
Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?
Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow? Have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow? I'm glad I opened your eyes The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice
Have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow? Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow? I was just passing the time I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine?
Tell me a story about how you adore me Live in the shadow, see through the shadow, Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow Hate in the shadow, and love in your shadowy life
Have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow? Has he had another baby, standing in the shadow? Baby, where have you been all your life? Talking about all the people who should try anything twice
Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow? Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow? You take your choice at this time The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline
