I Admit Composer(s): George Popa - Irina Gligor First performance by: Sanda - 2004
As in a dream, love appeared Swept me away and made me lose control like never before As in a dream, love touched me I felt how it touched the bottom of my very soul
Now I know I find the key to my heart I just hope this ain't a dream and that you are reality
I admit I fell for you so badly And I admit you make my senses wild I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
It's good to be in love It makes you touch the sky a thousand times or more It's good to admit That my heart starts to race when you walk through that door
Now I know you are the key to my heart Just hope you're not a dream and that you'll be my everything
I admit I fell for you so badly And I admit you make my senses wild I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good And I admit you make my senses wild I know sometimes I might act and look foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
Just mine You make me shine You are the light in my life
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good And I admit you make my senses wild I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good And I admit you make my senses wild, oh yeah I know sometimes I might act and look foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine, all right Mine, yes mine, just mine Just mine
Here With Me Composer(s): Rick Braun; Kevin Cronin Performer(s): REO Speedwagon
Maybe it's too late, but this feelin' is runnin' through my soul I think I learned what love is, but I'm afraid I let it go Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind Turned lovin' into leavin', and I'm on the outside
You can take these words to bed with you, and hold on to them at night they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright But your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is Here with me
Here with me I don't know where you are All I know is I need you to be Here with me I know it's not too late to turn around and get it straight It's my fate to have you here with me
I can hear your voice, promising your love will never die I can feel your golden skin on mine, beneath the desert sky So how can it be true, how can you just turn and let me go? Let the story of your life with mine, forever go untold
I can take these words to bed with me, and hold on to them at night they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright Cause your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is here with me
(chorus)
(repeat chorus)
Here with me (are you here with me?) I don't know where you are (don't know where) All I know is, I need you to be, ohohwhoa, Here with me I know it's not too late (know it's not too late) to turn around and get it straight Here with me...
St. Stephen Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Phil Lesh - Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead and multiple other artists
Saint Stephen with a rose in and out of the garden he goes country garland in the wind and the rain wherever he goes the people all complain
Stephen prospered in his time well he may and he may decline Did it matter, does it now? Stephen would answer if he only knew how
Wishing well with a golden bell bucket hanging clear to hell hell halfway twixt now and then Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again
Lady finger, dipped in moonlight writing "What for?" across the morning sky Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye
Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow what a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned several seasons with their treasons wrapped the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own
Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye talk about your plenty, talk about your ills one man gathers what another man spills
Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain seashore walk by the suds and the foam been there so long, he's got to calling it home
Fortune comes a calling, calliope woman spinning that curious sense of your own Can you answer, "Yes I can"? but what would be the answer to the answer-man?
High green chilly winds and windy vines in loops around the twisted shafts of lavender, they're crawling to the sun
Underfoot the ground is patched with arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita, stark and shiny in the breeze
Wonder who will water all the children of the garden when they sigh about the barren lack of rain and droop so hungry neath the sky
William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch no furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before
Here We Go Again Composer(s): Paul Cook; Steve Jones Performer(s): The Sex Pistols
Well I´ve seen you once or twice And I think you´re rather nice Tell me what is your name And will you come again
How far can you spit Is your voice like grit Might seem out of tune But you´ll love one day soon
Here we go here we go again Here we go here we go again Here we go here we go again Here we go I just cannot pretend Here we go we´re off again Here we go here we go again Here we go I just cannot pretend Here we go we´re off again
Stop waisting my time Get off of my line What do you wanna ask The sun shines out my ass
Well I was never wrong I wrote all the songs The same old motor runs I ain´t no rolling stone
For Real Composer(s): Gökhan Özoguz - Hakan Özoguz First performance by: Athena - 2004
Oh... come on up, come on up, come on up now What you doin', what you waitin' for? Oh... it's time to push it, break it, rush it Don't ever let life pass you by
All I know is you don't want to be part of the crowd Realise yourself
You say it but don't feel it What you sayin' has no meanin' Don't hide your soul For real, I'm for real Come on up
I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up Do you want? Do you want? Up, I wanna bring you up, up I wanna bring you up
Please, please, no questions, no answers No more running around in circles Are you in? Are you out? Do you know your way out? Let me take you up in the sky
For real, I'm for real Come on up
I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up Do you want? Do you want? Up, I wanna bring you up, up I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up I wanna bring you up Do you want? Do you want? Up, I wanna bring you up, up I wanna bring you...
Here We Go Again Composer(s): Russell Steagall; Donnie Lanier Performer(s): Ray Charles
Here we go again She's back in town again I'll take her back again One more time Here we go again The phone will ring again I'll be her fool again One more time
I've been there before And I'll try it again But any fool knows That there's no way to win Here we go again She'll break my heart again I'll play the part again One more time

Extra choruses: A black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack
Lawd, a blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town I said blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town But a red-headed woman makes a boy slap his papa down
Oh, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, I said ashes to ashes and dust to dust if my blues don't get you, my jazzing must
Here Till Here Is There Composer(s): Robin Williamson Performer(s): The Incredible Stringband
Where will you go When days grow short and winds grow cold And green leaves are shaken There was a road as once I saw Wound with bright ivies and trumpeting haws Of whitest sand embroidered with flowers That very few has taken
Where will you stay While rivers run and days eat days And white stars are pining In hopes more true in hearts more gay In love that is stronger and brighter than day In hands that heal in thoughts that play In all eyes shining
Why do we talk of go and stay? We will all be here till here is there!
Stronger Every Minute Composer(s): Mike Connaris First performance by: Lisa Andreas - 2004
No matter where I am I'm always thinking of you It may be hard, but I need you to understand That I don't often say what I feel But now this is straight from my heart
My love grows stronger every minute And it won't ever die I want you to stay with me Not just this day, but for all my life
Now, when I look into your eyes I can tell there's something wrong You're holding back the tears Couldn't bare to lose you now So I will make my feelings clear
My love grows stronger every minute And it won't ever die You must believe I'll always be there For you, all my life
Oh... please stay Mmm...
My love grows stronger every minute And it won't ever die I want you to stay with me Not just this day, but for all my life
St. Judy's Comet (Italian Version: Piccolino - 1973) Composer(s): Paul Simon First release by: Paul Simon - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
Little sleepy boy Do you know what time it is? Well the hour of your bedtimes Long been past And though I know youre fighting it I can tell when you rub your eyes Youre fading fast Fading fast
Wont you run come see St. Judys Comet Roll across the skies And leave a spray of diamonds In its wake I long to see St. Judys Comet Sparkle in your eyes When you awake
Little boy Wont you lay your body down Little boy Wont you close your weary eyes Aint nothing flashing but the fireflies
Well I sang it once And I sang it twice Im going to sing it three times more Going to stay til your resistance Is overcome Cause if I cant sing my boy to sleep well it makes your famous daddy look so dumb
Wont you run come see St. Judys Comet Roll across the skies And leave a spray of diamonds In its wake I long to see St. Judys Comet Sparkle in your eyes When you awake
Little boy, little boy Wont you lay your body down Little boy, little boy Wont you close your weary eyes Aint nothing flashing but the fireflies
Oo Little sleepy boy Do you know what time it is? Well the hour of your bedtimes Long been past Though I know youre fighting it I can tell when you rub your eyes That youre fading fast
Xote Das Meninas Composer(s): Zé Dantas - Luiz Gonzaga Performer(s): Marco Pereira; Hamilton de Holanda
Mandacaru, quando flora Na seca É o sinal que a chuva chega no Sertão Toda menina que enjoa da Boneca É sinal que o amor Já chegou no coração
Meia comprida, não quer mais Sapato baixo Vestido bem cintado
Não quer mais vestir timão
Ela só quer, só pensa em Namorar Ela só quer, só pensa em Namorar
De manhã cedo já tá pintada Só vive suspirando Sonhando acordada O pai leva ao doutô A filha adoentada Não come nem estuda, Não dorme, não quer nada
Ela só quer, só pensa em Namorar Ela só quer, só pensa em Namorar Mas o doutô nem examina Chamando o pai de lado Lhe diz logo em surdina Que o mal é da idade Que pra tal menina Não há um só remédio Em toda medicina
Ela só quer, só pensa em Namorar Ela só quer, só pensa em Namorar
Hold On To Our Love Composer(s): Gary Miller - Tim Woodcock First performance by: James Fox - 2004
Maybe I've been foolish letting you down I've been a little selfish not being around But if I lost you, I'd be helpless inside Gotta hold on to our love tonight
'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in And I feel so complete by your side It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life We gotta hold on to our love tonight
I know that you've been hurting The pain's in your eyes I promise you I'm changing, I feel it inside I don't know what I would do if it all passes by We gotta hold on to our love tonight
'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in And I feel so complete by your side It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life We gotta hold on to our love tonight
Some things in life we should treasure When you find love, never let it go Because now I realise and I want you to know
'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in And I feel so complete by your side It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life We gotta hold on to our love tonight
'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in And I feel so complete by your side It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life We gotta hold on to our love tonight We gotta hold on to our love tonight
X-Offender
Composer(s): Debbie Harry - Gary Valentine
First release by: Blondie - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled
I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights, and how they were
They were filled with
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh
Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
Public defender
You had to admit
You wanted the love of a sex offender
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh
My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there
With your badge and rubber boots
I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you
St. James Infirmary (Adapted from: The Unfortunate Rake - 18th Century) (French Version: J'avais Deux Amis - 1965) Composer(s): Irving Mills Performer(s): Louis Armstrong & His Savoy Ballroom Five - 1928/1929 and multiple other artists
I went down to the St. James Infirmary Saw my baby there She stretched out on a long white table So sweet, so cold, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can look this wide world over But she'll never find a sweet man like me
When I die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes I wanna a boxback coat and a Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain So the boys'll know that I died standing flat

When You Are Old And Gray Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
Since I still appreciate you let's find love while we may because I know I'll hate you when you are old and gray So say you love me here and now, I'll make the most of that Say you love and trust me for I know you'll disgust me when you're old and getting fat
An awful debility a lessened utility a loss of mobility is a strong possibility In all probability I'll lose my virility and you your fertility and desirability And this liability of total sterility will lead to hostility and sense of futility So let's act with agility while we still have facility for we'll soon reach senility and lose the ability
Your teeth will start to go dear, your waist will start to spread in twenty years of so dear I'll wish that you were dead I'll never love you then at all the way I do today So please remember when I leave in December I told you so in May
