Vertigo Composer(s): Philip Vella - Gerard James Borg First performance by: Olivia Lewis - 2007
You're spinnin' me round and you're holdin' me down Lovin' you gives me vertigo I'm losin' my ground, givin' in to your heart Kissin' you gives me vertigo
And I'm lost, then I'm found And I run, then I hide And I turn, you're not there I say yes, you say no Lovin' you gives me vertigo
And I give, but you take I made one big mistake Gave you all, A to Z Then you came, now you go Lovin' you gives me vertigo
You're liftin' me high, then you're takin' me low It's feelin' like I'm getting vertigo You colour me blue, turn my passion to red It's feelin' like I've become indigo
And I give, but you take I made one big mistake Gave you all, A to Z Then you came, now you go Lovin' you gives me vertigo
Am I crazy? Could it be maybe Solo is the way to go?
(And I'm) lost, then I'm found And I run, then I hide And I turn, you're not there I say yes, you say no Lovin' you gives me vertigo
And I give, but you take I made one big mistake Gave you all, A to Z Then you came, now you go Lovin' you gives me vertigo
Hold What You've Got Composer(s): Guy Draper; Joe Tex Performer(s): Joe Tex; and various other artists
You'd better hold on to what you've got You'd better hold on to what you've got 'Cause if you think nobody wants it Just throw it away and you will see Someone will have it before you can count 1, 2, 3 Yes they will, yes they will Listen fellows, you know it's not all the time That a man can have a good woman That he can call his very own A woman who will stay right there at home And mind the children while he's gone to work A woman who will have his dinner cooked When he comes home Where some men make mistakes is When they go out and stay because they feel No other wants his woman but him Well listen, if you think no other man wants her Just throw her away and you will see Some men will have her before you can count 1, 2, 3 Yes he will, yes he will
Listen girls, this goes for you too Because you know I've seen so man women Who've had so many good men in life Men who would stand by them thru thick and thin Men who'd go to work everyday and Bring home their hard earned pay Men who'd give their woman anything Their little hearts desired Where some women make mistakes is When their men go out and let em play they would stay Because they felt that no other woman wanted him but her Well listen, if you think no other woman wants him Just pitch him out in the street and you will see Some woman will have your man Before you can count 1, 2, 3 Yes she will, yes she will
Stella By Starlight Composer(s): Ned Washington - Victor Young First performance by: Victor Young and His Orch. - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
The song a robin sings Through years of endless springs The murmur of a brook at eventide That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide A great symphonic theme That's Stella by starlight And not a dream My heart and I agree She's everything on earth to me
A great symphonic theme That's Stella by starlight And not a dream My heart and I agree She's everything on earth to me
Hold On To My Love Composer(s): Robin Gibb; Blue Weaver Performer(s): Jimmy Ruffin; Warren Shaw; Vikki Shepard
Today, you came by, to tell me you are leaving me and to say, that the love, and all that we knew had just drifted away And I look, in your eyes, and I couldn't bare the pain I felt inside, of my heart To think I'm gonna be lonely again, and if e-ever then I know at a glance that I don't stand a chance
Chorus:
Hold on, to my love, I'm nothing, and I can't get along without you Your the light of my life There's no living without (your love)
It's so hard, to believe, that your going away could make me feel so down 'Cause I know, that from this moment on I won't have you around And if e-ever you go, then I know at a glance that I won't stand a chance
Chorus:
So hold on, to my love, I'm nothing, and I can't get along without you Your the light of my life There's no living without (your love)
Ooooh, oh baby, nobody's taking your place But for you, but for me, our love would live on for the whole world to see
Chorus:
So hold on, to my love, I'm nothing, and I can't get along without you Your the light of my life There's no living without your love No, no, no, no Hey Whooo
Honey hold on (hold on), to my love (my love) I'm nothing (hold on) and I can't get along without you (hold on) Your the light, your the light, of my life (my life) There's no living without (your love) (Hold on, to my love) Hold on, cause I'm nothin girl, and I can't get along without you you, your the light of my life (my life) And I just can't live without you
Valentine Lost Composer(s): Sveinn Rúnar Sigurðsson - Peter Fenner First performance by: Eiríkur Hauksson - 2007
I'll let the music play while love lies softly bleeding In heavy hands on shadowlands As thunderclouds roll in, sunset is receding No summer wine, no Valentine
A tiger trapped inside a cage An actor on an empty stage Come see the show Rock n' roll can heal your soul When broken hearts lose all control
Some rivers still run dry and jungles burn to embers Gold autumn days must fade to grey There is a reason why a haunted man remembers One frozen night, his darkest day
A tiger trapped inside a cage An actor on an empty stage Come see the show Rock n' roll will heal your soul When broken hearts lose all control
A passion killed by acid rain A rollercoaster in my brain But how would you know? In your satin, silk and lace Another time, another place
A tiger trapped inside a cage An actor on an empty stage Come see the show Rock n' roll will heal your soul When broken hearts lose all control
A love let loose and painted black A train stuck on a broken track Well, I'll let it go Rock n' roll has healed my soul The stage is set, on with the show
Hold On Composer(s): Chris Anderson; Trevor Rabin; Chris Squire Performer(s): Yes
Justice to the left of you Justice to the right Speak when you are spoken to Don't pretend you're right This life's not for living It's for fighting and for war No matter what the truth is Hold on to what is yours
Jigsaw puzzle traitors Set to spill the beans Constitution screw up Shattering the dreams Blood flows in the desert Dark citadels burning too Watch! Look over your shoulder This one is strictly for you
Hold on - Hold on Wait maybe the answer's Looking for you
Hold on - Hold on Wait! Take you time Think it through Yes! I can make it through
Hold on - Hold on Sunshine shine on through Hold on - Hold on Sunshine shine on you
See it through
Talk the simple smile Such platonic eye How they drown in incomplete capacity Strangest of them all When the feeling calls How we drown in stylistic audacity Charge the common ground Round and round and round We living in gravity
Shake - We shake so hard How we laugh so loud When we reach We believe in eternity
I believe in eternity
Hold on - Hold on Wait - Take your time Sunshine shine on through See it through Hold on - Hold on Wait - Maybe a chance Sunshine shine on through Is looking for you Sunshine shine on you
Hold on - Hold on Hold on - Hold on
Sunshine - Shine on shine on you Sunshine - Shine on through Sunshine - Shine on shine on through Sunshine - Shine on you
Sunshine - Shine on - Shine on you Hold on - Hold on Sunshine - Shine on through Wait - Take your time See it through Sunshine - Shine on - Shine on through Hold on - Hold on Sunshine - Shine on you Wait - Maybe the answer's looking for you
Stella Composer(s): Harry Akst - Al Jolson - Benny Davis Performer(s): Al Jolson

Hold On Composer(s): Rosanne Cash Performer(s): Rosanne Cash
If you want to keep a woman like me, you got to hold on If you want to see how good it can be, baby, hold on All my friends think that I'm a fool I tell you something honey, they're not that cool If you want to keep a woman like me, you better hold on
If you want to know how far we can go, you got to hold on If you take it slow then I got something to show you Baby, hold on All those girls with their empty heads Can't fill 'em up with the lies they've been fed If you want to know how far I can go, you got to hold on
She'll give you reasons for her kind You might believe it, but I'm not that blind
If you think you need a woman like me, you better hold on If you want to find what I've got on my mind, baby, hold on All this small talk that keeps us apart Is only hiding how we feel in our hearts If you want to keep a woman like me, baby, hold on
Hold On Composer(s): Dan Hill Performer(s): Dan Hill; Ann Christy
So you flung your fist high in the air But the world remained the same And all the demonstrations Filtered out through graduation And the times that were a changing Never changed Freedom takes on new meaning When you have a family of five And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution When you're fighting for your life Just to survive
It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in Hold on - don't let it fade Still you've gotta Be strong - find yourself a reason You never change the world But just the same You've gotta hold on stronger Each and every day When the night creeps in so hollow When the silence makes you scream When you're so damned scared of failure When the world's burned out it's saviors When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream
It's then you've gotta Hold on - for what you believe in Hold on - don't let it fade Still you've gotta Be strong - find yourself a reason You never change the world But just the same You've gotta hold on stronger Or else you'll fade
Hold On Composer(s): Benjamin Orr; Diane Grey Page Performer(s): Benjamin Orr
Well you sure look good tonight I think I've come to see sunlight Come on, hold on to me Belong to me
You know that love looks good on you In what you say and what you do Come on, hold on to me It's all I need
I gotta do the _____ in time __________ Not a thing to show for all the times I've tried Now we just can't seem to wipe the smile away And you gave it to me
Give it up - I'm feeling something beautiful Look at this - we're starting to be suitable to me Every day I find what you got into us Can't seem to get enough of you
When you're away, I dream that you... Come on and hold on to me Belong to me
And so it never really ends You mend the hurts that never mend Come on, hold on to me It's all I need
Where did all what I had in my run for me, guess ya...
Gotta take the blinders off so that you can see Not a thought comes by that doesn't hang on you And what did I do before?
Can't believe that this is really happening All the hurtful days are finally vanishing Making all the fantasies realities We could be in for some surprises
I know it - you know it too. Before you think of compromises Just realize it's only here for you
Yeah, you sure look good tonight I think I've finally seen sunlight Come on, hold on to me It's all I need.
And so it never really ends You mend the hurts that never mend Come on and hold on to me
Belong to me
Gotta make for bringing out the best to me When the love is is right, it's possible to see you so clearly All my life I wondered would it come to me
(come to me)
Then you brought it to me Can't believe that this is really happening All the hurtful days are finally vanishing Making all your fantasies realities
Where did all what I had in my run for me, guess ya... Gotta take the blinders off so that you can see Not a thought comes by that doesn't hang on you And what did I do before?
Steel Rail Blues Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot First recording/First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1964/1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I got my mail late last night A letter from a girl who found the time to write To her lonesome boy somewheres in the night She sent me a railroad ticket, too To take me to her lovin' arms And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well I bin out here many a long days I haven't found a place that I could call my own Not a two-bit bed to lay my body on I bin stood up, I bin shook down I bin dragged into the sand And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well I bin up tight most every night Walkin' along the streets of this old town Not a friend around to tell my troubles to My good old car, she done broke down 'Cause I drove it into the ground And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well, I look over yonder across the plain The big drive wheels are poundin' along the ground Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound Now I ain't had a home cooked meal And Lord, I need one now And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well, here I am with my head in the sand Standin' on the broad highway, will you give a ride To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night I went in town for one last round And I gambled my ticket away And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love

Drama Queen Composer(s): Simon Munk - Peter Andersen - Claus Christensen
First performance by: DQ - 2007
When the sun is setting at the end of the day And the city fills with shades of grey In between the streetlight and the moonlit snow There's a place I go Where I do my show
I'm your drama queen tonight All my troubles are out of sight When the lights are on I will be your shining star I'm your drama queen tonight Everything's gonna be alright When I get on the stage tonight
It's a space in time where every dream comes true And tomorrow's sorrows just won't do In between reality and fantasy I will make you see If you just believe
I'm your drama queen tonight All my troubles are out of sight When the lights are on I will be your shining star I'm your drama queen tonight Everything's gonna be alright When I get on the stage tonight
No more use pretending No more reason to run and hide Let's make all our dreams come true tonight
I'm you drama queen tonight All my troubles are out of sight When the lights are far I will be your shining star I'm your drama queen tonight Everything's gonna be alright When I get on the stage tonight Oh... 'cause I'm your drama queen tonight
Steel Guitar Rag Composer(s): Leon McAuliff - Merle Travis - Cliff Stone Performer(s): George Jones and multiple other artists
Been runnin' around, seen many a town and maybe you'll find I'm the kind of guy that brags But listen to me and see if you don't agree No melody rolls like that old steel guitar rag
And when they slide that thing, along those strings It sounds so dogone heavenly, you can hear the Angels sing And when you stomp your feet, your heart will beat A rhythm to the old steel guitar rag
You may be kind choosy, 'bout the kind of songs you hear You maybe like them blusey, makes you cry right in your beer But if you want a song that's bound to dry away your tears Make happy your soul with that old steel guitar rag
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me Composer(s): Harry Noble Performer(s): Karen Chandler; and various other artists
Hold me, hold me Never let me go until you've told me, told me What I want to know and then just hold me, hold me Make me tell you I'm in love with you
Thrill me (thrill me), thrill me (thrill me) Walk me down the lane where shadows will be (will be), will be (will be) Hiding lovers just the same as we'll be, we'll be When you make me tell you I love you
They told me "Be sensible with your new love" "Don't be fooled, thinking this is the last you'll find" But they never stood in the dark with you, love When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind
Kiss me (kiss me), kiss me (kiss me) And when you do, I'll know that you will miss me (miss me), miss me (miss me) If we ever say "Adieu", so kiss me, kiss me Make me tell you I'm in love with you
(Kiss me) kiss me, (kiss me) kiss me When you do, I'll know that you will miss me (miss me), miss me (miss me) If we ever say "Adieu" so kiss me, kiss me Make me tell you I'm in love with you
(Hold me, thrill me) (Never, never, never let me go) (Hold me, thrill me, never, never, never let me go)
(Hold me, thrill me, never, never, never let me go)
Comme Ci Comme Ça First performance by: Evridiki - 2007
Tous les lundis, tu finis Le travail trop tard puis La télé et sommeil Quand mon cur se réveille Tous les mardis tu me dis Le matin et tu l'oublies On ira au ciné Et le soir désolé
Comme ci, comme ça La vie passe Et les beaux moments nous dépassent Comme ci, comme ça Lamour casse Routine et paresse nous menacent Comme ci, comme ça Je nen peux plus Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue Je reste pas là Comme ci, comme ça La fin voilà Comme ci, comme ça
Même les samedis à minuit Tu me dis déjà Bonne Nuit Tu tendors quand je sors En te chantant très fort
Comme ci, comme ça La vie passe Et les beaux moments nous dépassent Comme ci, comme ça Lamour casse Routine et paresse nous menacent Comme ci, comme ça Je nen peux plus Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue Je reste pas là Comme ci, comme ça La fin voilà Comme ci, comme ça
Comme ci, comme ça La vie passe Et les beaux moments nous dépassent Comme ci, comme ça Lamour casse Routine et paresse nous menacent Comme ci, comme ça Je nen peux plus Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue Je reste pas là Comme ci, comme ça La fin voilà Comme ci, comme ça
Hold Me 'Til The Morning Comes Performer(s): Paul Anka
Two broken hearts Neither one knows what to say Both falling for love But not quite all the way
Look at us now Reaching back to yesterday Longing to know If they are the ones to stay
After all I'm the one who said we're through Now I can't live without anymore Out there lost is the dream that can't come true Is it worth the reaching for Don't you want me anymore, darling
Hold me till the morning comes Until I see your smile Take all the sadness from your eyes Hold me till the morning sun Let me stay we've just begun
oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Where shall we start Tender words that we can share Different believes In time we will get there
Look at us now Wanting more than words can say Both falling for love But distant all the way
Out there lost are the words I still love you But they worth the reaching for Do you love me anymore, darling
(chorus)
Hold me till the morning comes Until I see your smile Take all the sadness from your eyes Hold me till the morning sun Let me stay we've just begun I wanna stay with you
(chorus)
Would you love me in the morning We used to be there in the morning Would you leave without a warning Say you love me too
