Spinning Composer(s): Benjamin Orr - Diane Grey Page Performer(s): Benjamin Orr
What am I to do about this? Who am I to you? There's a splice somewhere in all this You can find a way, you know it Not so hard to do All you got to do is show it It's only got to do with you Spinning our wheels Spinning our wheels Spinning our wheels for years You can't get there You can't get there You can't get there from here Doesn't seem so well connected Threads are almost bare Something's new; just not expected Tell me is it really there? Spinning our wheels Spinning our wheels Spinning our wheels for years You can't get there You can't get there You can't get there from here Why should this be so hard? So close... Why are you afraid? Just tell me where we are I would try another way How can I get to you? Where do I begin? I try, but I can't get through You won't let me in! Spinning our wheels How does it feel? Caught in the wheels for years Doesn't seem so well connected Threads are almost bare Something's new; just not expected What am I to do about this? Who am I to you?

Hello Trouble Composer(s): Eddie McDuff; Orville Couch Performer(s): Buck Owens; and various other artists
Woke up this mornin', happy as could be I looked out my window, what's that I see Coming' up the sidewalk, just as plain as day Well here comes trouble that I never thought I'd see since you went away
Hello trouble come on in Well you talk about heartaches where in the world you been Well, I ain't had the miseries since you been gone Well hello trouble, trouble, trouble Welcome home
We'll make a pot of coffee and you can rest your shoes And you can tell me them sweet lies and I'll listen to you Well it's just a little part of, part of the life we'd live But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble than to never know the love you give
Hello trouble, come on in Well you talk about heartaches, where in the world you been Ain't had the miseries since you been gone Well hello trouble, trouble, trouble Welcome home
Il Faut Du Temps (Je Me Battrai Pour Ça) Composer(s): Patrick Bruel - Marie-Florence Gros - Rick Allison First performance by: Sandrine François - 2002
Il faut du temps pour apprendre à sourire Pour apprendre à grandir au milieu d'un combat Il faut du temps pour pendre haut et court Les idéaux trop courts, mais on n'en est pas là
Je me suis battue pour ça, j'ai serré dans ma voix Tous ces mots qui font peur quand on n'les entend pas Je me suis battue pour ça, j'ai serré dans mes bras Toutes ces femmes qui pleurent et que l'on ne voit pas
Il faut du temps, on nous dit ça, on dit On parle et on écrit, et la guerre se vend Il faut du temps, non, il faut vouloir fort Monsieur Gandhi est mort, est-il mort pour longtemps?
Je me battrais pour ça, ici et maintenant Moi, je n'ai plus le temps, j'ai qu'une vie devant moi Je me battrai pour ça, je me battrai comment La paix n'est qu'une enfant qui ne marche pas droit
Je n'suis qu'un p'tit soldat sans arme que ma voix Mais je crierai pour toi, ma colombe pour toi Je n'suis qu'un p'tit soldat, maintenant et là-bas Mais des milliers de voix le crieront avec moi
Je me battrai pour ça, ici et maintenant J'entends monter le vent, mais qui se lèvera? Je me battrai pour ça, je me battrai comment On dit qu'il faut du temps, mais des milliers de voix Le crieront avec moi
Hello Susie Composer(s): Roy Wood; Art Wood Performer(s): Amen Corner; The Move
Ev'rybody sat here Waiting for the train to come Just laid down A bright-red carpet for her to step on
Looking through the band I see her waving her hands at me Her looks were tanned And quite amazing as she ran to me Frantic'lly she knocked me over Causing such a scene Shook the crowd enough To sway the interest from the Queen Her black transistor socked out 1 o' clock radio Completely drowned the band And loud enough to stop the show
Hello Susie tell me the news about yourself Hello Susie tell me that you've enjoyed yourself Yes sir, rock and roll the day away Come on ev'rybody They all seem too keen to make a scene Come on ev'rybody Gotta kick the dust away
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother Composer(s): Bob Russell; Bobby Scott Performer(s): The Hollies
The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go His welfare is my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with gladness And love for one another
It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Spin, Spin, Spin Composer(s): Jim Croce - Ingrid Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around
The harlequin dances in a costume of green Spin around But under his makeup his age can't be seen Spin around But where are you spinnin' When will you know That life is for livin' That it isn't a show?
Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around
You look out on the city from your penthouse so high Spin around But your pedestal's your prison and so is your high Spin around But where are you spinnin' When will you know That life is for livin' That it isn't a show?
Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around
Your pills are you conscience They make ev'rything seem all right Spin around Take a white one go to sleep Take a red one to stay up all night To spin around But where are you spinnin' When will you know That life is for livin' That it isn't a show? Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around Spin, spin, spin Spin away, spin away Spin, spin, spin Spin around, spin around
Hello Summertime Composer(s): William Backer; Roger Cook; Raquel Davis; Roger Greenaway Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Birds and bees and all the flowers and trees, fishes on the line Girls and guys and yellow butterflies singing hello summertime A homemade boat and a river to float nothing on our mind Summer moon above two people in love singing hello summertime
Summertime laying back in the sun, yes summertime having summertime fun It's a time for two just me and you and the summertime Swing from a limb drop in for a swim, hey the water sure looks fine Ain't nothing wrong just floating along singing hello summertime
Summertime grins, lots of good friends we're all feeling fine Watch the sun go down, hear the summer sounds singing hello summertime Summertime laying back in the sun, yes summertime having summertime fun It's a time for two just me and you and the summertime
He Ain't Got Rhythm Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Alice Faye
I know a professor of great renown And he is the loneliest man in town He's as smart as a man can be But he never has company Why is he the loneliest man in town?
He ain't got rhythm Ev'ry night he sits in the house alone 'Cause he ain't got rhythm Ev'ry night he sits there and wears a frown He attracted some attention when he found the fourth dimension But he ain't got rhythm, so no one's with 'im The loneliest man in town
A lonely man is he bending over his books Hhis wife and family keep giving him dirty looks 'Cause he ain't got rhythm When they call him up, it's to call him down With a daring aviator he encircled the equator But he ain't got rhythm, as no one's with 'im The loneliest man in town
He ain't got rhythm Ev'ry night he sits in the house alone 'Cause he ain't got rhythm Ev'ry night he sits there and wears a frown With a problem scientific, he's colossal and terrific But he ain't got rhythm, so no one's with 'im The loneliest man in town
A lonely man is he bending over his books His wife and family keep giving him dirty looks 'Cause he ain't got rhythm When they call him up, it's to call him down In the month of January he compiled a dictionary But he ain't got rhythm, as no one's with 'im The loneliest man in town
Hello Stranger Composer(s): Barbara Lewis Performer(s): Barbara Lewis
(shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) (shoo-bop, shoo-bop)
Hello, stranger (ooh) It seems so good to see you back again How long has it been? (ooh, seems like a mighty long time) (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh) It seems like a mighty long time
Oh-uh-oh, I my, my, my, m I'm so glad You stopped by to say "hello" to me Remember that's the way it used to be Ooh, it seems like a mighty long time (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh) It seems like a mighty long time
Lewis sings a series of "oh-uh-oh's"on both sides of "I'm so glad you're here again" while backups do 7 (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)'s
Oh-ahh-uh-oh If you're not gonna stay (ooh) Please don't treat me like you did before Because I still love you so a-a-although It seems like a mighty long time Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby, ooh It seems like a mighty long time
Lewis does " Oh-uh-oh, I my, my, my, my" and "I'm so happy that you're here again" and backups repeat (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
He Composer(s): Richard Mullen; Jack Richards Performer(s): The McGuire Sisters; and various other artists
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea He alone decides who writes a symphony He lights ev'ry star that makes the darkness bright He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer Saint or sinner calls and always finds him there Though it makes him sad to see the way we live He'll always say "I forgive"
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold He knows every lie that you and I have told Though it makes him sad to see the way we live He'll always say "I forgive"
Hello Petite Fille English Title: Hello Little Girl Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney; Claude Carrère; Hubert Ithier Performer(s): Sheila; Claudette Vandal; Jacqueline Guy
Un matin je m'en allais simplement Ah, ah, hello petite fille Dans mon cur on entendait le printemps Ah, ah, hello petite fille Je rêvais lorsqu'une voix m'appela Ah, ah, hello petite fille Voulez-vous vous promener avec moi? Ah, ah, hello petite fille

Pasa que el flacucho de pelo largo y sucio del septimo piso hace un ruido insoportable y me tiene harta, harta, harta... Ay! ese homosexual, drogodependiente, hace cinco años que me tiene repodrida Ayer salieron 10 muchachos (eran once, eran once) y antes de ayer 20 muchachas drogadas (y lesbianas) (dulce de leche)Escuche la musica, escuche la musica... Dulce de leche! Mami, mami, me compre las bombachas de la Barbie y los anteojos de Batman y el disco.. sabes de quien? mira De quien? De Fito Paez! Pero Constanza, todas porquerias! Ay mama, sos borracha, borracha, chancha pedorra (cachetada) Queres callarte? Ay!... Anda, la reputa que te pario, escucha el disco)
Fito tiene sida, toma anfetaminas y no hace otra cosa que caerse borracho por ahi, por ahi todas mis vecinas me hablan de lo mismo y yo les digo hazte fama y echate a dormir Duerme con pastillas, fuma marihuana y no hace otra cosa que volverse loco por ahi, por ahi todos mis amigos me hablan de los mismo y yo les digo hazte fama y echate a dormir Todo el mundo sabe que ya no hay mas que hacer con su vida Todo el mundo sabe que ya no sabe mas que hacer Cuando este mundo se agita todos empiezan a joder
Llega de mañana, no duerme en su cama Y tira todas las botellas por el, no ves Le pega a su chica, mea en los mercados Pero hizo un par de discos que siempre detesta ver
Dicen que lo vieron no hace mucho tiempo recolectando jeringas en el parque japonés, japonés Y de vez en cuando, caza la guitarra y se la va rocanroleando hasta el amanecer
Todo el mundo sabe que ya no hay mas que hacer con su vida Todo el mundo sabe que ya no sabe mas que hacer Cuando este mundo se agita todos empiezan a joder
Fito tiene sida, toma anfetaminas y no hace otra cosa que caerse borracho por ahi, por ahi todas mis vecinas me hablan de lo mismo y yo les digo hazte fama y echate a dormir y yo les digo (yo les digo) hazte fama y echate a dormir y yo les digo (yo les digo) hazte fama y echate a dormir y yo les digo (yo les digo) hazte fama y echate a dormir (uouuh yeey uohuu)
Hazme El Milagro Composer(s): Leopoldo Zaragoza García Performer(s): Javier Solís
Esto no es vida ya mi amor se me fue es un martirio en mi soledad Siento que la vida se me está acabando me estoy muriendo poco a poco de dolor

Diosito santo no me dejes morir hazme el milagro que te voy a pedir Dame licencia de volver a mirarla de estrecharla en mis brazos de besar su frente por última vez

Hazme El Amor Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo; C. Mole Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo; and various other artists
Ves en mis ojos, una extraña expresión un vacío infinito, y un profundo temor Entre dos lunas, veo mi mente girar una luna es la vida, otra luna la paz Ilusiones, nada más mariposas de cristal que me llevan lejos de ti ... Pero, Hazme el amor, acaríciame ayuda a un corazón, a un pobre corazón... A volver Pacto de sangre, teorema de amor poesía en tu vientre, siempre fuimos los dos Ilusiones, nada más mariposas de cristal que me llevan lejos de ti ... Pero, Hazme el amor, aprisióname despierta mi emoción, libera tu pasión... Otra vez Hazme el amor, acaríciame ayuda a un corazón, a un pobre corazón... A volver Hazme el amor, aprisióname despierta mi emoción, libera tu pasión... Otra vez Hazme el amor, acaríciame ayuda a un corazón, a un pobre corazón... A volver Hazme el amor, aprisióname despierta mi emoción, libera tu pasión... Otra vez

Lee Oskar Levitin - Charles Miller - Leroy L. Jordan First release by: Eric Burdon & War - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl
I was once out strolling, one very hot summer's day when I thought I'd lay myself down to rest (Excuse me) in a big field with tall grass I laid there in the sun, felt it caress my face as I fell asleep and dreamed I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie (Places, everyone), and that I was the star (Three minutes, Mr. Polo) This really blew my mind the fact that me, an overfed, long-haired, weeping gnome should be the star of a Hollywood movie There I was I was taken to a place, the Hall of the Mountain King I stood high upon a mountaintop, naked with the world in front of every kind of girl There were strong ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones, black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones Out of the middle came a lady She whispered in my ear, something crazy She said
Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine Spill the wine, dig that girl Dig that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine Spill the wine, dig that girl
I could feel the hot flame of fire roaring in my back as she disappeared But soon, she returned In her hand was a bottle of wine; in the other, a glass She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass, and raised it to her lips and just before she drank, she said
Take the wine, take that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine, dig that girl
Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter From Camp) Composer(s): Allan Sherman Performer(s): Allan Sherman
Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh Here I am at Camp Grenada Camp is very entertaining and they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining

Now I don't want this should scare ya But my bunkmate has malaria You remember Jeffrey Hardy They're about to organize a searching party
Take me home, oh muddah fadduh, take me home, I hate Grenada Don't leave me out in the forest where I might get eaten by a bear Take me home, I promise I will not make noise or mess the house with other boys, oh please don't make me stay, I've been here one whole day
Dearest fadduh, darling muddah How's my precious little bruddah? Let me come home if ya miss me I will even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me
