In the sky shines a star Spaces near and far Calling out who you are And smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Stars hide from the rain It turns against the pain Fooling many in the game While smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
I can feel the dark take the night apart But then the stars come out and lift my heart Believing there's a star for everyone Makes it easier to recall That together, for the children of the world There's a star smiling for us all
Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Star, shining high Cultivating my desire Graceful in the sky While smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Le Grand Soir Composer(s): Frédéric Zeitoun - Alec Mansion First performance by: Nuno Resende - 2005
Ce soir, tous ces regards Là dans le noir La peur et l'espoir Ce soir, il n'est pas trop tard De croire Aux rêves de gloire Ce soir, une lumière, dans un éclair, changer d'histoire
Ce soir, je l'ai prié, je l'attendais, le grand soir Ce soir, le souffle court L'enjeu est lourd Ne pas decevoir Ce soir, changer de trottoir Ce soir Un nouveau départ Et voir, toute sa vie, tous ses amis, en un regard Ce soir, je fais un voeu, je veux pour eux, le grand soir
Ce soir, on oublie tout Les mauvais coups Les nuits de brouillard Ce soir, c'est un autre jour Ce soir c'est enfin mon tour D'avoir, comme un dimanche, une revanche, et le pouvoir Ce soir, de l'appeller, de le chanter, le grand soir Le grand soir
Hey You Composer(s): Roger Waters Performer(s): Pink Floyd
Hey you, out there in the cold Getting lonely, getting old Can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisles With itchy feet and fading smiles Can you feel me? Hey you, dont help them to bury the light Don't give in without a fight
Hey you, out there on your own Sitting naked by the phone Would you touch me? Hey you, with you ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out Would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy The wall was too high As you can see No matter how he tried He could not break free And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you, standing in the road always doing what you're told Can you help me? Hey you, out there beyond the wall Breaking bottles in the hall Can you help me? Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall
Stanley Steamer Composer(s): Ralph Blane - Harry Warren Performer(s): Jo Stafford and multiple other artists
Get your veil and get your duster Get the yen for goggles when the wind's a guster Keep your Hubbard gown Firmly belted down When you're out in your Stanley Steamer In a gale we never fluster `Cause we're told we get that old familiar lustre If you're dressed in style Ev'ryone will smile When you're out in your Stanley Steamer Honk, honk! Honk, honk, honk! The donkey used to have his charm But he's looking at us with alarm For it looks like he's back to the farm But if you fail with your combustor Then your speed is gonna need a new adjuster And you must be just Just the one we trust Or we won't step inside No, we won't take the ride That you plan in your Stanley Steamer That you plan in your Stanley Steamer In your Stanley Steamer automobile
Chug, chug, chug, chug Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug That flat tyre was so unexpected There she sat alone and rejected I started to sigh Then I caught the eye Of the man in the Stanley Steamer It began to rain When along the lane Came the man in the Stanley Steamer He was a sight to make me tingle And a dish to make me glad that I was single He proposed a ride So I hopped inside And away we started in the Stanley Steamer It was not that she was stupid Nor the shot she thought she got from Mr. Cupid I just lost my heart From the very start To the man in the Stanley Steamer Honk, honk! Honk, honk, honk! The tandem bike has had its day If you're ridin' one you'll find that they Poke along in an obsolete way With all the bright anticipation Like a child with a wild imagination And we wanna ride, wanna ride inside Of the latest motor deal Wanna sit behind the wheel With the man in the Stanley Steamer With the man in the Stanley Steamer I'm a-nothin' but a dreamer In your Stanley Steamer Stanley Steamer automobile
Hey You Composer(s): Randy Bachman Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Hey you, you say the race is much too fast It's okay, with me I'm keeping pace It's my game, the music is inside my head For every one on top there's one who can't retrace
You realize now You should have tried now, oooh ooh The music's gone now, you'll find out You lost it somehow Hey you, sha lalala Hey you, sha lalala Wooo, sha la la la Wooo, sha la la la
You realize now oooh You could have died now, oooh The music's gone now You lost it somehow Hey you, hey you, sha lalala Hey you, sha lalala Wooo, sha la la Wooo, sha la la
Sha lalala, hey you, hey you, hey you Sha lalala, ba-ba-ba-baby's stupid (?) Sha lalala, no time, no time left, no time Sha lalala, don't let me down, don't let me down

Vento che torni ogni sera a parlare con me tu mi domandi l'amore, l'amore dov'è
Quando la luna passò solo una voce restò, io mi ricordo che lui mi diceva così
Vieni, vieni, vieni che alla fine della strada c'è l'amore per te
Vieni, vieni, vieni se ti senti innamorata vieni, vieni con me!
Quando la luna tornò l'amore mio non trovò forse quella voce nella notte io non sentirò mai più
Alla fine della strada un albero è caduto e un fiore si spezzò
Strada che hai visto il mio amore morire così dimmi se a un altra ragazza lui disse di sì
Quando la luna passò solo una voce restò io mi ricordo che lui mi diceva così
Vieni, vieni, vieni che alla fine della strada c'è l'amore per te
Vieni, vieni, vieni se ti senti innamorata vieni, vieni con me!
Quando la luna tornò l'amore mio non trovò forse quella voce nella notte io non sentirò mai più
Alla fine della strada dopo quella sera lui non ritornò da me!

Lately when I'm in my room all by myself In the solitary gloom I call to myself
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud Though he won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day he'll come to you
Better forget him, him with his nose in the air He has you dancin' on a string, break it and he won't care
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother Or are you not seein' things too clear Are you too much in love to hear Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes (Are you talking to me?) Love never made a fool of you (Not until now) You used to be too wise (Yes, I was once)
Will you take this advice I hand you like a mother Or am I not seein' things too clear Are you just too far gone to hear Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other

Everything I've tried to do for you has always turned out wrong It dook a lot of love inside of me to keep me here this long It's too late to dim the lights again expecting me to call Cause tonight I'm gonna leave you and I'm leavin' standin' tall

Now I'm pickin up the pieces of the heart that you've been breakin' And I'm down on my knees just to try and find them all And when I get up one long last look is all that I'll be takin' Cause tonight I'm finally leavin' and I'm leavin' standin' tall Yea tonight I'm gonna leave you and I'm leavin' standin' tall
