Stairs
Composer(s): Peter Barakan - Yukihiro Takahashi
Performer(s): Yellow Magic Orch.



In the shadows by the wall
The stairs go on forever
They could be steel
They could be stone
They could even be paper
Are they leading up or down?
The stairs go on forever
Crowds of people in confusion
Are they moving in or out?
Are they moving, are they still?
The stairs go on forever
People going up stairs
People going down stairs
Ascending people
Descending people

Hero
(Spanish Version: Heroe - 1993)
Composer(s): Walter Afanasieff - Mariah Carey
First release by: Mariah Carey - 1993
Covered by multiple other artists



There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you

It's a long road when you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself
and the emptiness you felt will disappear

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you

oh, ohhh, Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on, there will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
that a hero lies in ... you
mmmm that a hero lies in.....you
 
								

Takes 2 To Tango
Composer(s): Mika Toivanen - Jari Sillanpää
Performer(s): Jari Sillanpää - 2004



Time to leave, time to feel
Harp and horn, music's born
Two worlds meet
Hungry sharing a fantasy
 
Tail and wing, soon will swing
Dusk till dawn, let the show just begin
In a place where pardon stand
Giving feast on sacred land
 
The angels and devils meet at night (Hallelujah!)
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side (Hallelujah!)
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango, tango
 
Purified, justified
Times of lust (Times of lust)
Times of trust (Times of trust)
Praising dark
For one moment in paradise
 
Passion flows, eager grows
Time runs out, it's the end of the show
When the morning is at hand
Time has come to show their stand
 
The angels and devils meet at night (Hallelujah!)
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side (Hallelujah!)
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango
 
Angels falling, hear them calling
Demons rising, they're disguising
Hearts are beating, secret meeting
Just for the moment in love
 
The angels and devils meet at night (Ha..., ha..., hallelujah!)
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side (Ha..., ha..., hallelujah!)
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango!

Hero
Composer(s): Phil Collins; David Crosby
Performer(s): David Crosby



It was one of those great stories
that you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
and he wasn't afraid to fight
The villain goes to jail
while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me

And the reason that she loved him
was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
he just knew, he just knew

Shadow and shape mixed together at dawn
but by the time you'd catch them to some place he's gone
So we sort through the pieces, my friends and I
searching through the darkness to find
The breaks in the sky

And the reason that she loved him
was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
he just knew, he just knew

And we wonder, yes we wonder
how do you make sense of this
when the hero kills the villain
and wins his kiss, wins his kiss

Well, it was one of those great stories
that you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
and he wasn't afraid to fight
The villain goes to jail
while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me
I wish it were that simple for me

(Adapted from: Stag' Lee - 1895)
(Danish Version: Store Lars - 1969)
Composer(s): Harold Logan - Lloyd Price
Performer(s): Lloyd Price - 1958 
and multiple other artists



The night was clear and the moon was yellow 
And the leaves came tumbling down 

I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark 
He was barkin´ at the two men who were gamblin´ in the dark 
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late 
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight 

Stagger Lee told Billy, ´I can´t let you go with that 
You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat´ 
Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four 
Said ´I´m goin´ to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe´ 
Go Stagger Lee! 

Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door 
He said ´Nobody move´ and he pulled his forty-four 
´Stagger Lee´, cried Billy, ´Oh, please don´t take my life 
I got three little children and a very sickly wife´ 
(Go Stagger Lee) 

Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad 
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender´s glass 
Look out Stagger Lee!

Hernando's Hideaway
Composer(s): Richard Adler; Jerry Ross
Performer(s): Archie Bleyer;
and various other artists



I know a dark secluded place
A place where no one knows your face
A glass of wine, a fast embrace
It’s called Hernando’s Hideaway 
Ole!

All you see are silhouettes
And all you hear are castanets
And no one cares how late it gets
Not at Hernando’s Hideaway 
Ole!

At the golden finger bowl or anyplace you go

You’ll meet your uncle Max and everyone you know

But if you are sitting close and making love to me
you may take my heart, you may take my soul, but not my key

Just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe 
Then strike a match and you will know 
You’re in Hernando’s Hideaway 
Ole!

Shame On You
Composer(s): Ivar Lind Greiner - Iben Plesner
First performance by: Tomas Thordarson - 2004



(Nana nana nanana nana nana...)
(Nana nana nanana nana na...)
(Nanana nanana nana nana...)
 
We've been together for the longest time
I always thought that I could read your mind
But lately we've been like two actors in a show
And I wonder, where's the loving that we used to know?
 
I hoped that everything would be all right
That you would be forever by my side
But all the feelings and the luck we used to share
Now it seems to me it's gone and that you just don't care
 
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
 
You know I love you, though you cheat on me
You try to hide it, but it's plain to see
Make up your mind, 'cause I can't take it anymore
Won't you turn to me and tell me what you're waiting for?
 
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
 
(Nana nana nanana nana nana...)
(Nana nana nanana nana na...)
(Nanana nanana nana nana...)
 
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
 
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
 
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are

Herminda De La Victoria
Composer(s): Victor Jara; Cantamaranto
Performer(s): Victor Jara



Herminda de la Victoria
murio sin haber luchado
derecho se fue a la gloria
con el pecho atravezado
Las balas de los mandados
mataron a la inocente
lloraban madres y hermanos
en el medio de la gente

Hermanos se hicieron todos
hermanos en la desgracia
peleando contra los lobos
peleando por una casa
Herminda de la Victoria
nacio en el medio del barro
crecio como mariposa
en un terreno tomado

Hicimos la poblacion
y han llovido tres inviernos
Herminda en el corazon
guardaremos tu recuerdo

Stages

Performer(s): ZZ Top



It's a fine time to fall in love with you
I ain't got a single thing to do
It happened before I knew what was going on
I fell out and knew that I was gone
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love

Then you left me standing all alone
I couldn't even get you on the phone
Were you just confused and didn't know
if you should stay or if you had to go?
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love

Now you're back and say you're gonna stay
I wouldn't have it any other way
Tell me it's for real and let me know
why does lovin' have to come and go
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love

My Galileo
Composer(s): Alexandra Kirsanova - Konstantin Drapezo - Alexey Solomakha
First performance by: Alexandra & Konstantin - 2004



I'm no stay-at-home, and heady
Is my quest and venture mode
And the road is there to tread it
All-dimensional road
 
Round I go, desperate to reach new horizons
Circles grow, but you...
 
You're my pier, centre in my life
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
 
Wind is high and branches rattle
On the shuttered window pane
And the dust has not yet settled
I'm leavin' again
 
Round I go, desperate to reach new horizons
Circles grow, but you...
 
You're my pier, centre in my life
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
I'm here again
 
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
 
My Galileo
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)

You're my pier, centre in my life

(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
I'm here again
 
I'm here again

Here's To The Losers
Composer(s): Robert Wells; Jack Segal
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Here's to those who love not too wisely 
know not wisely, but too well
To the girl who sighs with envy 
when she hears that wedding bell
To the guy who'd throw a party if he knew someone to call
Here's to the losers, bless them all

Here's to those who drink their dinners 
when that lady doesn't show
To the girl who'll wait for kisses underneath that mistletoe
To the lonely summer lovers when the leaves begin to fall
Here's to the losers, a-bless them all

Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of the rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne

Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, bless them all

Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of that rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne

Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, here's to the losers, here's to the losers
Bless them all!

Stage Fright
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
Performer(s): The Band



Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Who suffered so much for what he did
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame
Since that day he ain't been the same

See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again

I've got fire water right on my breath
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death
Said, "You can make it in your disguise
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes"

See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
He got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again

Now if he says that he's afraid
Take him at his word
And for the price that the poor boy has paid
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh

Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry
Fancy people go driftin' by
The moment of truth is right at hand
Just one more nightmare you can stand

See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm

You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm
Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm
Let him start all over again

Here's To Life
Composer(s): Artie Butler; Phyllis Molinary
Performer(s): Shirley Horne



No complaints and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets
But I have learned that all you give is all you get, so give it all you got
I had my share, I drank my fill, and even though I’m satisfied I’m hungry still
To see what’s down another road, beyond a hill and do it all again
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings.
Here’s to life the dreamers and their dreams
Funny how the time just flies
How love can turn from warm hellos to sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories you’ve memorized
To keep your winters warm
There’s no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away
As long as I’m still in the game I want to play
For laughs, for life, for love
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings
Here’s to life, the dreamers and their dreams
May all your storms be weathered
And all that’s good get better
Here’s to life, here’s to love, here’s to you
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here's to life, here's to love, here's to you

Jugarem A Estimar-Nos
Composer(s): Jofre Bardagí
First performance by: Marta Roure - 2004



No en tinc cap dubte, cap dels dos sabem
per que estem junts aquesta nit
Tu no saps ni com em dic
i la veritat, tampoc jo se el teu nom
Potser és millor que no pensem en res
aprofitem que estem solets
Aparquem tots els problemes
i disfrutem d'aquest moment
Aquesta nit farem que sigui nostra
Aquesta nit podrem ser el que volguem
mentre esperem que surti el sol

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i juguar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

I quan el sol demà et tregui del llit
jo ja no seré al teu costat
Només quedarà un record
el somni d'una nit d'estiu
D' aquella nit que vam tenir tots dos
ben lluny de tota realitat
Una nit que ara vivim
i volem que duri eternament
On no importa res, només nosaltres
Aquesta nit val tot, seré qui vulguis
mentre no aparegui el sol

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

No tenim cap pressa
però no perdem temps
Que quan surti el sol
la màgia es perderà
Que la nit és llarga
però l' em d'aprofitar
Seré el que tu vulguis
fins que surti el sol
Fins que surti el sol

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem,
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

Fins que surti el sol

Here's That Rainy Day
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists



Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that
It could end this way

Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my love so near?
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here

Staffan Var En Stalledräng
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk



Staffan var en stalledräng
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Han vattna' sina fålar fem
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Två de voro röda
Vi tackom nu så gärna
De tjänte väl sin föda
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Två de voro vita
Vi tackom nu så gärna
De va de andra lika
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Den femte han var apelgrå
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Den rider själva Staffan på
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Innan hanen galit har
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Staffan uti stallet var
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Innan solen månd' uppgå
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Betsel och gullsadel på
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Staffan rider till källan
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Han öser upp vatten med skällan
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Here's My Heart
Composer(s): Giorgio Moroder; Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Pat Benatar



Our two worlds met in strange surprise
I hid my love in thin disguise
I tried to leave, how could I stay?
What if my heart gave me away?
I always thought I'd be prepared
But love just caught me unaware
You said the words and I believed
I fell so hard, I fell so deep
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
So true love triumphs once again
It always makes it in the end
And if you let the heart run free
It will return faithfully
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, the hour is fine
Here's My Heart
Ooh, Ooh
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Ooh... 
Hey, Hey, Hey

Love Me Or Leave Me
Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Walter Donaldson
First performance/First recording/First release by: Ruth Etting - 1928/1928/1929
Covered by multiple other artists



This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else

Oh, love me or leave me, let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue, oh, so blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else 

Here’s Love In Your Eye
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Helen Ward;
and various other artists



Oh, here’s love in your eye 
And may it keep on glowing
Love in your eye just for me
You look divine 
And when we dance or dine, dear
My head goes reeling
But it’s not from wine

There’s love in my heart
And may it keep on glowing
I know that I’m aiming high
But here’s a toast
To what I want the most
Here’s love, love in your eye
