Still I Cling To You (French Version: Je Me Raccroche À Toi) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I know the signs, I read the warning To you, I'm only time to kill Not mean a thing to you Yet, still I cling to you
Like melodies on (?) Winter mornings Like snow upon the highest hill That's how I cling to you Somehow, I cling to you
If I were wiser I would leave you Pick up my broken pride and steal away What is this game you play Do we have a chain to bind and hold me (?) Yet, keep yourself one step beyond me So near, so far away
I tell myself, you'll come to love me As flowers come alive in Spring And still I cling to you
At times you want my adoration You talk of love, of life ??? My soul ??? swings (?) to you And so, I cling to you
At times you mock my desperation My ignorance, to laugh, to score (?) Despite the things you do, in rage (?) I cling to you
Is it just pity you are feeling These crumbs of comfort that you throw my way How long can hope survive How long must this despair continue If you're so sure, I'll never wave (?) you Why keep my hope alive
You do not hear the song I sing you You do not take the gift I bring Yet still I sing to you Still I cling to you
Homenagem Ao Malandro Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque; and various other artists
Eu fui fazer um samba em homenagem À nata da malandragem Que conheço de outros carnavais
Eu fui à Lapa e perdi a viagem Que aquela tal malandragem Não existe mais
Agora já não é normal O que dá de malandro regular, profissional Malandro com aparato de malandro oficial Malandro candidato a malandro federal Malandro com retrato na coluna social Malandro com contrato, com gravata e capital Que nunca se dá mal
Mas o malandro pra valer - não espalha Aposentou a navalha Tem mulher e filho e tralha e tal
Dizem as más línguas que ele até trabalha Mora lá longe e chacoalha Num trem da Central
Hold On, Be Strong Composer(s): Mira Craig First performance by: Maria Haukaas Storeng - 2008
Love can be hard sometimes Yes, it can catch you off guard like bad crimes Yes, it can make you depressed and angry Make you say: "Why me, why won't anybody try me?"
You might be saying: "Ooh, I don't wanna be lonely" "Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself" "Ooh, don't wanna be lonely" "Why ain't anybody lovin' me?"
But there's always someone out there who'll be there for you There is always someone out there who'll care for you There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true Hold on, hold on, be strong
Love can go away forever if you push it And you have to remember: don't rush it If it ain't right, it is wrong And you'll be crying: "Why me, why won't anybody try me?"
You might be saying: "Ooh, I don't wanna be lonely" "Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself" "Ooh, don't wanna be lonely, oh no no" "Why ain't anybody lovin' me?"
Now, but there's always someone out there who'll be there for you And there's always someone out there who'll care for you There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true Hold on, hold on, be strong
And yes, there's always someone out there who'll be there for you And there's always someone out there who'll care for you There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true Hold on, hold on, be strong
Hold on, hold on, be strong My child, hold on, hold on, be strong
Homemade Music Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Michael Utley; Russell Kunkel Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
I ain't no video king I still have to sing For my supper each night You may stand on the benches I play in the trenches Beneath the big spotlights Lived in a suitcase for half of my years I've got strange little voices that live in my ears Hall monster, mall monster I can't believe the old me no more
Homemade music down in the passion pits Homemade music lots o grits but no hits Homemade music is part of my philosophy
Oh cooking is a pleasure And singing is a treasure That most don't find There ain't no harm in telling I like to eat my mellon Right on down to the rind I had a hippie girlfriend when I was a kid She died and went to the suburbs most of them did Raisin' puppies, having yuppies Where did all the wild ones go
Homemade music ain't on the radio Homemade music searchin' high and low Homemade music where did all the good songs go?
First there were records then cassettes and CDs Bankers and lawyers then came the Japanese Homemade music still making sense to me
Homemade music so funky and nice Homemade music sits on very thin ice But homemade music is part of my philosophy
Homemade music ain't on the radio Homemade music searchin' high and low Homemade music where did all the good songs go?
Still Feeling Blue Composer(s): Gram Parsons First release by: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Time can pass and time can heal But it don't ever pass the way I feel You went away a long time ago And why you left I never knew The lonely days and lonely nights Guess the world knows I ain't feelin' right And when you're gone the hours pass so slow And now I'm still feeling blue
And baby Since you've walked out of my life I never felt so low Can't help but wonder why you had to go
There are many girls but I can't say They come and go but still I feel this way And ever since the day you said goodbye No one treats me like you used to do
I hope you're out and happy now Doing up the town cause you know how Every time I hear your name I want to die And now I'm still feeling blue
All right
And baby Since you've walked out of my life I never felt so low Can't help but wonder why you had to go
I hope you're out and happy now Doing up the town cause you know how Every time I hear your name I want to die And now I'm still feeling blue And now I'm still feeling blue
Homemade Ice Cream Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Tony Joe White
Summer nights And the living is high And wouldn't you know it There's big old full moon risin' up in the sky And you know it's right the perfect night For homemade ice cream
I can see those lightning buzz and the river flow There's an old harmonica playing soft and low And folks back home out on the front porch Eating homemade ice cream
But it's a shame that it's only in my mind 'Cause I'm stuck up here in the city Don't you know it's a pity I'm grounded in making homemade ice cream
Believe Composer(s): Jim Beanz - Dima Bilan First performance by: Dima Bilan - 2008
Even when the thunder and storm begins I'll be standing strong like a tree in the wind Nothing's gonna move this mountain Or change my direction
I'm falling off the sky And I'm all alone The courage that's inside's gonna break my fall Nothing's gonna dim my light within
But if I keep going on It will never be impossible Not today
'Cause I've got something to believe in As long as I'm breathing There is not a limit to what I can dream
'Cause I've got something to believe in Mission to keep climbing Nothing else can stop me if I just believe And I believe in me
Even when the world tries to pull me down Tell me that I can't, try to turn me around I won't let them put my fire out, without no
But if I keep going on It will never be impossible Not today
Yes, I've got something to believe in As long as I'm breathing There is not a limit to what I can dream
'Cause I've got something to believe in Mission to keep climbing Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe I can do it all Open every door Turn unthinkable to reality You'll see, I can do it all and more
Believing, as long as I'm breathing There is not a limit to what I can dream Believing, mission to keep climbing Nothing else can stop me if I just believe And I believe in me
Homely Girl Composer(s): Stan McKenney; Eugene Record Performer(s): The Chi-Lites; and various other artists
It must have broke your poor little heart When the boys used to say You looked better in the dark Oooh but now they'd give all they learnt in school To be somewhere in the dark with you (Oh yes they would)
You know the teacher would ask the questions And you, would always raise your hand Oooh but somehow you never got your turn And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn (Oh yes I did)
(Chorus)
Homely girl, she was so lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl Homely girl you used to be lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yeah
There was a boy who used to sit beside you Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through Oooh you were beautiful to me You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did
I was the only one who offered To carry your books Took all the stares and laughter With the dirty looks But I saw then what they see now They all want to ask you for a date They don't know how, they don't know how
(Chorus)
Homely girl, she was so lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl Homely girl you used to be lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yeah
Oooh first they want a chance to hold you Then they want a chance to try to control you Oh no, don't you know I got to say it
"Still falls the rain,the veils of darkness shroud the blackened trees which, contorted by some unseen violence, shed their tired leaves and bend their boughs toward a gray earth of severed bird wings Among the grasses, poppies bleed before a gesticulating death and young rabbits, born dead in traps, stand motionless as though guarding the silence that surrounds and threatens to engulf all those that would listen Mute birds, tired of repeating yesterdays terrors, huddle together in the recesses of dark corners heads turned from the dead, black swan that floats upturned in a small pool in the hollow There emerges from this pool a faint, sensual mist, that traces its way upwards to caress the feet of the headless martyr's statue whose only achievement was to die too soon, and who couldn't wait to loose The cataract of darkness forms fully, the long black night begins yet still by the lake a young girl waits Unseeing she believes herself unseen she smiles faintly at the distant tolling bell and the still falling rain"
Homegrown Tomatoes Composer(s): Guy Clark Performer(s): John Denver; and various other artists
There ain't nothin' in the world that I like better Than bacon 'n lettuce 'n homegrown tomatoes Up in the mornin', out in the garden Get you a ripe one, don't pick a hard 'un All winter without 'em is a culinary bummer I forgot all about the sweatin' and the diggin' Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What would life be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
You can go out to eat and that's for sure But there's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew You can make your own tomato juice You can eat 'em with eggs, eat 'em with gravy You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle Homegrown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What would like be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
If I's to change this life I lead You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed Cause I know what this country needs Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me In a box in a cold dark cemetery Out in the garden would be much better 'Cause I could be pushin' up a homegrown tomato
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What would like be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy That's true love and homegrown tomatoes

Homecoming In Heaven Composer(s): Walt Breeland; Paul Buskirk; Nelson Gray Performer(s): George Jones
My years have been many My loved ones are gone And I miss them more every day I'm ready to move to that heavenly home And I yearn for the day I can say
Take this ring from my finger These shoes from my feet Take all of my worldly possessions away Just leave me my bible A date I must keep It's homecoming in heaven for me
I'll kiss my ol' mother Shake hands with my dad I know they'll remember their boy We'll all be so happy And I'll be so glad As our cup runneth over with joy!
Take this ring from my finger These shoes from my feet Take all of my worldly possessions away Just leave me my bible A date I must keep It's homecoming in heaven for me..
Still Crazy After All These Years Composer(s): Paul Simon First release by: Paul Simon - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
I met my old lover On the street last night She seemed so glad to see me I just smiled And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers Still crazy after all these years Still crazy after all these years
I'm not the kind of man Who tends to socialise I seem to lean on Old familiar ways And I ain't no fool for love songs That whisper in my ears Still crazy after all these years Still crazy after all these years
Four in the morning Crapped out Yawning Longing my life away I'll never worry Why should I? It's all gonna fade
Now I sit by my window And I watch the cars I fear I'll do some damage One fine day But I would not be convicted By a jury of my peers Still crazy Still crazy Still crazy after all these years
Home Where I Belong Composer(s): Pat Terry Performer(s): B.J. Thomas; and various other artists
They say that heaven's pretty And living here is too But if they said that I Would have to choose between the two I'd go home, going home, where I belong
And sometimes when I'm dreaming It comes as no surprise That if you look and see The homesick feeling in my eyes I'm going home, going home, where I belong
While I'm here I'll serve him gladly And sing him all my songs I'm here, but not for long And when I'm feeling lonely And when I'm feeling blue It's such a joy to know that I am only passing through
I'm headed home, going home, where I belong
And one day I'll be sleeping, When death knocks on my door And I'll awake and find that I'm not homesick anymore I'll be home, going home, where I belong
Can you see it? Can you see it you have to discover me? What goes wrong when I am crying Or what I want when I'm smiling
Can you feel it? Can you feel it that I'm not a little girl? You're misunderstanding my way And all the roles that I like to play
My secret combination it's a mystery for you Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true My secret combination boy, you have to try it hard To win a destination in the centre of my heart
My secret combination it's a mystery for you Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true My secret combination boy, you have to try it hard To win a destination in the centre of my heart
An open book An open book, well, I'm sorry, I am not Sometimes I'm acting like a lady Sometimes woman, sometimes baby
My secret combination it's a mystery for you Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true My secret combination boy, you have to try it hard To win a destination in the centre of my heart
My secret combination it's a mystery for you Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true My secret combination boy, you have to try it hard To win a destination in the centre of my heart
My secret combination it's a mystery for you Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true My secret combination boy, you have to try it hard To win a destination in the centre of my heart To win a destination in the centre of my heart
Home Was Never Like This Composer(s): A. Seymour Brown; Albert Gumble
Hiram was a farmer from way up the state He came to the city and thought it was great He brought his bank-roll and his best Sunday suit And when he doll'd all up Oh! he was cute! Hiram met a stranger, one night on Broadway And of course she took him in to a cafe People dancing there Hiram said, "I declare! That's my middle, ding bust it!"
Hiram said, "I'm out just to have a good time I don't care for money so "zip" goes a dime! I'll send a wire up home and tell them right now If you are short of change why just sell a cow!" Ev'ry time the music would give him a chance Hiram grab'd a chicken and started to dance He'd yell "This is great!" I'll learn to hesitate If I break a leg, by golly!"
Come on and dance with me Come on and dance with me I feel as young as a boy! I want to learn each gol darn step that they do Teach me ev'ry one that is new! I want to learn the whirls Dance with the pretty girls Don't mind the steps that I miss
I'll get it! Here's where I'm going to stay I'll give the farm away Home was never like this!
Still ... You Turn Me On Composer(s): Greg Lake Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Do you want to be an angel Do you want to be a star Do you want to play some magic on my guitar? Do you want to be a poet Do you want to be my string? You could be anything Do you want to be the lover of another Undercover? You could even be the man on the moon
Do you want to be the player Do you want to be the string? Let me just tell you something It just don't mean a thing You see it really doesn't matter when you're buried in disguise by the dark glass on your eyes though your flesh has crystalised Still .... you turn me on
Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed? Do you want to be a colour cover magazine; create a scene Every day a little sadder A little madder Someone get me a ladder Do you want to be the singer Do you want to be the song? Let me tell you something you just couldn't be more wrong You see I really have to tell you that it all gets so intense From my experience It just doesn't seem to make sense Still .... you turn me on
Home To Myself Composer(s): Melissa Manchester; Carole Bayer Sager Performer(s): Melissa Manchester; and various other artists
I wake up and see The lights of the day Shining on me Make my own time It's mine to spend Think to myself My own best friend It's not so bad all alone Coming home to myself Again
Now I understand Whatever I feel Is whoever I am Watching my life And how it has grown Looking on back To the things I have known And it's not so bad all alone Coming home to myself Again
It's not so bad To get lost in my tears And to laugh and to cry For the years gone by Oh my, oh my
Now somehow I know I've come a long way Gotta long way to go But something inside Is making me strong And in the bad times I'll get along Cuz, it's not so bad All alone coming home to myself again
