Eighties Coming Back Composer(s): Vaiko Eplik First performance by: Ruffus - 2003
You thought you had it coming But now you really, really just don't know It seems you make a deal far too big outta this
Aha, you thought that you'd done it Yeah, you thought that you had heard it all But the state of things is putting you down now Just because, whoah...
You know they say it's just the eighties coming back Can you feel it's the eighties coming back? Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming Eighties coming, eighties coming Eighties coming back
You said let's do it Let's take it out and dance all night But those deep synthesizer sounds freak you out Whoah...
And now you wake up in the middle of the night In terror, all you do is cry Cold sweat, a cup of tea, no nothing seems to help you Through the night, my God
Now, it feels just like the eighties coming back Can you feel it's the eighties coming back? Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming Eighties coming, eighties coming Eighties coming back
Yeah, you thought you had it coming But now it looks like you didn't know this But everybody's wearing their hair The way you did fifteen years ago And it makes you wanna cry
Oh, it feels just like the eighties coming back Can you feel it? It's the eighties coming back Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming Eighties coming, eighties coming Eighties coming back
Spring Is Here Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers First performance/First recording by: Dennis King & Vivienne Segal/Frank Sinatra - 1938/1947 Covered by multiple other artists
Once there was a thing called spring When the world was writing verses Like yours and mine All the lads and girls would sing When we sat at little tables And drank May wine Now April, May and June Are sadly out of tune Life has stuck the pin in the balloon
Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing? Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing? No desire No ambition leads me Maybe it's because Nobody needs me Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me? Stars appear! Why doesn't the night invite me? Maybe it's because Nobody loves me Spring is here, I hear!

Hemingway Delira Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Eliades Ochoa
A la deriva la noche... la selva invade el lanchón la luna, bola de sangre la devoró el tiburón las olas vuelan tiñosas rizadas por un ciclón "Pilar" navega sin rumbo bajo un diluvio de ron... En el Caribe... se vive como se escribe se escribe como se vive... en el Caribe... Bajo la noche guajira Hemingway delira Una sirena picúa se proa de mascarón una bandera, a jirones lleva pintado un blasón "Cabeza de cocodrilo y cuerpo de Camarón..." Gregorio, el viejo marino aún sigue siendo el patrón... En el Caribe... se vive, se escribe escribe y vive el Caribe como es Bajo la noche guajira Hemingway delira Una langosta mulata anda buscando el timón y llora una viuda negra sobre la tripulación... Lejana, 'Finca Vigía' sufre una alucinación... Ernest, el aventurero se bate contra el Dragón... En el Caribe... y se bebe y se mueve y se bebe en el Caribe... y se mueve y se bebe y se mueve en el Caribe... al compás del viejo son... Bajo la noche guajira Hemingway delira
Spring In Manhattan Composer(s): Alice Scanlan Reach - Anthony Scibetta Performer(s): Tony Bennett and multiple other artists
Spring in Manhattan starts after dark After a lazy afternoon in Central Park Washington Square may be where you'll feel her first warm touch Down in the village you'll find she may be much, too much
Spring in Manhattan never stays long Still if you fall in love she'll bless you with a song And if you listen to every word the song she'll sing will bring Spring in manhattan to stay all Winter long

Spring In Maine Composer(s): Steve Allen - Carolyn Leigh Performer(s): Margaret Whiting and multiple other artists
I remember Spring in Maine The gust of rain, that country lane, and you I remember fragrant pines That bear the signs of Valentine's we drew
How you kissed me And how we laughed those windy afternoons Racing on the dunes Like a pair of loons
I recall what might have been And I recall the pain of coming back another year To find that Springtime in the State of Maine Is mainly a state of mind
How you kissed me And how we laughed those windy afternoons Racing on the dunes Like a pair of loons
I recall what might have been And I recall the pain of coming back another year To find that Springtime in the State of Maine Is mainly a state of mind
Helplessly Hoping Composer(s): Stephen Stills Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash; and various other artists
Helplessly hoping Her harlequin hovers nearby Awaiting a word Gasping at glimpses Of gentle true spirit He runs, wishing he could fly Only to trip at the sound of good-bye
Wordlessly watching He waits by the window And wonders At the empty place inside Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams He worries Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?
They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other
Stand by the stairway You'll see something Certain to tell you confusion has its cost Love isn't lying It's loose in a lady who lingers Saying she is lost And choking on hello
They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other
Monts Et Merveilles Composer(s): Hocine Hallaf First performance by: Louisa Baileche - 2003
Rien n'est plus comme avant Depuis qu'on s'est perdu Les rivières, l'océan Toutes les mers se sont tues Et la terre, et la terre Pour moi ne tourne plus J'interroge le ciel Comme un ange déçu
Oh mon amour Où es-tu mon amour?
J'ai connu la joie et puis la douleur J'étais avec toi, je suis sans demeure Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier
On s'était promis des monts et merveilles Aucun jour de pluie, seulement du soleil Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler Et moi, j'ai pas fini de t'aimer
Oui, je connais mon coeur Je le sais à l'affût Un souvenir, même un leurre Et tout le sang reflux Et la terre, et la terre Pour moi ne tourne plus Je suis nue et sans ailes Comme un ange déchu
Oh mon amour Où es-tu mon amour?
J'ai connu la joie et puis la douleur J'étais avec toi, je suis sans demeure Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier
On s'était promis des monts et merveilles Aucun jour de pluie, seulement du soleil Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier
Les monts et merveilles Seulement du soleil Ne plus en parler Un peu oublier
Des monts et merveilles Seulement du soleil Ne plus en parler Et moi j'ai pas fini de t'aimer
Helpless Dancer Composer(s): Pete Townsend Performer(s): The Who
[Roger's theme] When a man is running from his boss Who hold a gun that fires "cost" And people die from being cold Or left alone because they're old And bombs are dropped on fighting cats And children's dreams are run with rats If you complain you disappear Just like the lesbians and queers No one can love without the grace Of some unseen and distant face And you get beaten up by blacks Who though they worked still got the sack And when your soul tells you to hide Your very right to die denied And in the battle on the streets You fight computers and receipts And when a man is trying to change But only causes further pain You realize that all along Something in us going wrong...
Last night he took me in his arms And held me tenderly He said: "I don't know what's got into you "But I'm lovin' what I see" I hid my shame and tried to say The words I longed dreamed of But instead of saying: "Set me free" I whispered: "I'm in love"
I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter "I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter "That makes the warm of glowing love" But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new
I tried to make you understand The reasons I can't go You love is fresh and new, but his love's true It's had time to grow And even though he may no longer Keep me satisfied Don't you know he's still got Spring and Fall And Summer on his side
I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter "I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter "That makes the warm of glowing love" But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new
Helpless Automation Composer(s): Greg Ham Performer(s): Men At Work
I stay in my room All alone in the gloom What need I of light? Machines they can see in the night And I feel no pain Metal heart and a metal brain But something is wrong 'cause I still feel that signal coming in so
I stand at your door I guess I'll wait a moment more Your hall light comes on And now my turn to fire upon But I wheel away Defer my plight, for another day To dream of your face But a video scren takes its place
Hey, oh it's true I'm a helpless automaton Make an ultimatum to you Hey, it's true Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child Distrusted not Rusted That's why I feel so disgusted But I know he's wrong, 'cause I haven't felt this way for very long
Hey, it's true, I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you Hey, it's true Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you It's true I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you It's true Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you From you From you From you
I'm Not Afraid To Move On Composer(s): Arve Furset - VJ Strøm First performance by: Jostein Hasselgård - 2003
One moment out of time Someone finds a secret waiting behind Knowing there's an end to a glory End to a story so good, so divine
Heart, listen to your beating Never gonna stop unless there's a doubt Never speak to someone that knows you More than yourself and the ghost that you hide
'Cause I'm in love with a beautiful girl She's the one from the magical world And I hold her now, when the rain starts to fall I'm not afraid to move on
Lay down with someone strange Dare to be the same, as always in time Slowly seek the end and its glory Worry to see if it's gone deep inside
'Cause I'm in love with a beautiful girl She's the one from the magical world And I hold her now, when the rain starts to fall I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) I'm not afraid to move on
I'm alone when the ghosts start to haunt I'm alone, but I know
I'm in love with a beautiful girl She's the one from the magical world And I hold her now, when the rain starts to fall I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to move on
Helpless Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
There's a town in South Ontario Whose dream comfort men redisperse And in my mind I still need a place to go All my changes were there Blue, blue windows behind the stars Yellow moon on the rise Big birds flying across the sky Throwing shadows on our eyes
Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless They can still hear me now The chains are locked and tied across the door They sing with me somehow
Blue, blue windows behind the stars Yellow moon on the rise Big birds flying across the sky Throwing shadows on our eyes
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most Composer(s): Tommy Wolf - Fran Landesman First performance by: Tommy Wolf - 1955 Covered by multiple other artists
Once I was a sentimental thing Throw my heart away each Spring Now a Spring romance Hasn't got a chance Promised my first dance to Winter All I've got to show's a splinter For my little fling
Spring, this year has got me feeling like a horse That never left the post I lay in my room Starring up at the ceiling Spring can really hang you up the most
Morning kiss wakes trees and flower And to them my life To drink a toast I walk in the park Just to kill those lonely hours Spring can really hang you up the most
All afternoon Those birds tweet-a-tweet I know their tune This is love this is it Heard it before And I know the score And I decide that love is a bore Love seem sure around the new year Now it's April
Love is just a ghost Spring arrived on time But what became of you, dear Spring can really hang you up the most Spring can really hang you up the most
Spring is here There's no mistaken Robins build their nest from coast to coast My heart tries the same So they won't hear it breaking Spring can really hang you up the most
College boys are riding somewhere ... tender passion there it grows But I'm on the shelf with last years easter bonnet Spring can really hang you up the most
Love came my way I'm holding the last We had our day Now that's all in the past Spring came along A season of song For love's sweet promise But something went wrong Doctor's once prescribed a tonic Sulfur and molasses was the dose Didn't help me a bit My condition must be chronic Spring can really hang you up the most
All alone, the party's over Winter was a gracious host But when you keep praying For snow to hide the clover Spring can really hang you up the most
Help! Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles
Help, I need somebody Help, not just anybody Help, you know I need someone, help
When I was younger, so much younger than today I never needed anybody's help in any way But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being round Help me, get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways My independence seems to vanish in the haze But every now and then I feel so insecure I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being round Help me, get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me
When I was younger, so much younger than today I never needed anybody's help in any way But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being round Help me, get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh
