Heroes And Ladies Composer(s): Nanci Nevins Performer(s): Sweetwater
Open a story book Turn to the end Almost always the hero and his lady Live happily ever after again
Go to a movie and if you stay to the end almost always the hero and his lady live happily ever after again
Chorus: But we all can't be heroes and ladies And the good guy can't always win 'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie And we don't always stay to the end
Story books are make believe Movies aren't real friends Playing those parts for each other
Did we miss what might have been?
My heart says you're my dream man I feel like your silver queen Please don't tell me the ending Let's just play the next scene
Chorus:
Now our movie is over The lights are on again Now this hero and his lady Have faded away with the end
'Cuz we all can't be heroes and ladies And the good guy can't always win 'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie... We all can't be heroes and ladies And the good guy can't always win 'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie And we don't always stay to the end You didn't stay to the end To the end
What's Happened To Your Love? Composer(s): Michalis Antonious - Linas Adomaitis - Camden-MS First performance by: Linas & Simona - 2004
What's happened to your love? What's happened to my love? We've been together for so long But now the feeling's gone
What's happened to your love? What's happened to my love? We've been together for so long But now the feeling's gone But now the feeling's gone
Could you give me one more try? I will never make you cry Yes, I've made mistakes before Give your hand, let's go for more
Oh baby, you came back again Your eyes are shining like a flame I thought that I forgot your touch But now I love you so much
What's happened to your love? What's happened to my love? We've been together for so long But now the feeling's gone
What's happened to your love? What's happened to my love? We've been together for so long But now the feeling's gone But now the feeling's gone
I do remember your first words Silence breaking down my heart I wanna dream about sky blue If I can, darling, stay with you
Let's walk, we did it for the first time Along the wavy sea shoreline Please smile, you always did to me, and just to me Oh baby, tell, what do you feel?
What's happened to your love? What's happened to my love? We've been together for so long But now the feeling's gone
What's happened to your love? What's happened to my love? We've been together for so long But now the feeling's gone But now the feeling's gone
Heroes Composer(s): David Bowie; Brian Eno Performer(s): David Bowie
I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can beat them, just for one day We can be Heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean And I, I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together We could steal time, just for one day We can be Heroes, for ever and ever What d'you say?
I, I wish you could swim Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be Heroes, just for one day We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember) Standing, by the wall (by the wall) And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads) And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall) And the shame, was on the other side Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay But we could be safer, just for one day
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
Stagger Lee (aka Stagolee - Stag-O-Lee - Stackolee - Stack-A-Lee) (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!
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
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 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

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

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...) (Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
You're my pier, centre in my life (Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...) My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here (Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...) 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 Im satisfied Im hungry still To see whats down another road, beyond a hill and do it all again So heres to life and all the joy it brings. Heres 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 youve memorized To keep your winters warm Theres no yes in yesterday And who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away As long as Im still in the game I want to play For laughs, for life, for love So heres to life and all the joy it brings Heres to life, the dreamers and their dreams May all your storms be weathered And all thats good get better Heres to life, heres to love, heres 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
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
